Volvox only had Dommiel, Bael, Andras, Flauros, Belial, Seere, Lucifer, Satan, Asmodeus, Leviathan, Mammon, Beelzebub, Belphegor, Judas, and Giovi left as his commanders, the monsters he had left were Cerberus, Orthrus, the Bunyip, one Wendigo, five Tanukis, the Basilisk, Azhi Dahaka, Nuckelavee, the Hound of Baskervilles, the Mongolian Death Worm, the Stymphalian Birds, and the Bake-kujira, and his two pets, Phoenix and Thunderbird, his military used to have many more people and monsters, but they angered Volvox, and he killed them at those moments. Volvox lived in a black fortress with his commanders, he had a big gray stone wall and ceiling built around his kingdom, not only to protect his kingdom from attackers, but also to make sure no human gets out, he had a roof built on the wall as well, the sun and moon were blocked out. A moat surrounded the kingdom on the inside, it was filled sharp objects that were rusty, and had tar in it instead of water, the Bunyip swam in there, Volvox would sometimes throw people in there for it to eat, he would watch them struggle to get out for his own amusement, until the Bunyip ate them, but if someone did make it out, he would kill that person personally. One thing that Volvox kept to make the humans remind him of his powers were spears all around his fortress with humans impaled on them, and brown wooden crosses with humans crucified on them, he also had dead humans in his moat of tar. Tom was the leader of the humans before he was killed by Volvox, who he had hanged, drawn, and quartered. The Count of Saint Germain teleported out of the area and left to go find help, hoping there were more humans out there to help aid them. It is believed the humans were extinct outside of Volvox's kingdom, since it was all barren and desert. The other deities noticed Volvox's tyrannical rule and were trying to destroy the wall and roof around his kingdom, Zeus and Odin led the troops, Ares and Thor also decided to fight Volvox directly, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were fighting him directly as well. The deities were not the only ones trying to overthrow Volvox, Talos and the Laestrygonians were trying to take him down as well, so was Goatman, Spring-Heeled Jack was fighting Volvox as well, the humans tried to overthrow him, but he proven himself to be too powerful for the humans to fight, so the deities and other creatures of the world stepped in to help them. Volvox was walking around in his throne room while looking out to his kingdom, one of his demons comes in, "Emperor Volvox, the Count of Saint Germain escaped." the demon said, "What? He got out again?!" Volvox asked, "Please, emperor, you must understand, he can teleport in and out of the country at will." the demon replied, "It matters not, you let him escape, you fool, you will die for your incompetence." Volvox said, "Wait, emperor." the demon said, Volvox shot yellow beams out of the eyes of his center head and hit the demon, he screamed as he was obliterated. Another demon comes in, two more come in while holding a human hostage, "Emperor Volvox, we have captured Santa Claus." the demon in the front said, Volvox looked at him, "Volvox, you've been a naughty boy." Santa Claus said, "Naughty? You didn't get me the bicycle I wanted when I was four years old." Volvox replied, "What? Volvox." Dommiel said from the right side of Volvox's throne, "What?" Volvox asked, "That was fourteen billion nine hundred ninety nine million nine hundred ninety nine thousand nine hundred ninety six years ago." Dommiel replied, "So?" Volvox asked, "Santa Claus wasn't born yet." Dommiel said, "It doesn't matter, I wanted a bicycle, and I didn't get one, send him to Giovi to be tortured." Volvox replied, Santa Claus screamed in horror while he was taken away. The humans were trying to find a way to get out of Volvox's kingdom, they were anorexic, and starving, most humans died in less than three days, they had to do extremely heavy manual labor, they were not given any food or water, but Volvox did not just have men and women working, he had children working, too, and animals, especially cats and dogs, he was having them build statues of himself to make them remind them that he is their ruler, but Volvox did not consider himself an emperor, he considered himself a god. The humans find a spell that they hope will set them free, they wait until the demons fall asleep, all they had were dim flames to see what was around them. The humans gather around a spellbook a human took from Volvox's quarters while he was in his throne room, they find a spell that could teleport them out of the area, they gather around in a circle, hold hands, and chant. The ground shakes and the demons and Volvox come out and look around, they hear a loud thud, the humans look around and scream, "No! It didn't work!" a man said, Volvox snickers, "Thought you could leave that easily? Think again." Volvox said, and the humans scream in terror, "What shall we do with them?" Leviathan asked, "They can wait, I heard a thud, let's see if we're anywhere new." Volvox replied, and he uses his magic to project a screen to see if they were anywhere new, they were, he sees ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs looking at the giant wall that surrounded his kingdom, they were curious, some creatures flew up to see what was in the wall, but only saw a roof, everybody was curious on what was inside, "What do ya think is in there, Twilight?" Applejack asked, "I don't know, but I hope there's something friendly in there." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Me too, I just hope it's not a giant monster." Fluttershy said, "It must be huge if that wall and roof is that big." Rarity said, "Well, there's only one way to find out, Pinkie Pie's already heading there." Rainbow Dash replied, Pinkie Pie goes to the wall surrounding Volvox's kingdom, "Hey! Hello?" Pinkie Pie asked with a smile, the humans banged and scratched the walls, begging for help, but no one outside could hear them, Volvox and the demons smiled at their struggle, "Give up, she can't hear you." Asmodeus said, "Hello? Is anyone in there? I brought party materials." Pinkie Pie said, the humans keep begging and scratching on the walls, they could not get through, "Oh well, I'll try again tomorrow." Pinkie Pie said, and she left, the humans begged and cried for her to come back, Volvox just smiled at their struggles, "Find out who took my spellbook, and bring him to me when you all do." Volvox said, and he went back into his fortress. Volvox sat in his throne and called for three females to keep him company, they were the three Gorgons, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa, each one had snakes for their hair, Stheno had red snakes, Euryale had blue snakes, and Medusa had yellow snakes, while the three can turn people into stones with their eyes', Volvox was immune to it. The three sisters had to please Volvox with music and dancing, they were reluctant to do it, especially Medusa, "I'd like a dance today." Volvox said, "Again? I'm tired of this." Medusa said, "Sis, we must, if we want to live." Stheno replied, "Yes, the gods are trying their best, we have to keep this up until he is destroyed." Euryale said, "*sigh* fine." Medusa replied, and the three dance for Volvox, the Gorgons were happy that Volvox did not make them wear specific outfits, because he did not care about such things, the three had human arms and heads, but the rest of their bodies were that of snakes, Stheno's body was red, Euryale's body was blue, and Medusa's body was yellow, each one had orange-brown irises and cat-like pupils, their heads were a pale color. The three Gorgons slither around to please Volvox, they were praying to escape his rule, because he was not their only enemy, they were also enemies with Athena and Poseidon, they were planning to deal with them after they escape Volvox's rule. Volvox kept them to entertain himself when he had nothing to do, he had no intention of marrying one, "Why don't you marry one of them, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "No, that will only make me more vulnerable." Volvox replied, "What do you mean?" Dommiel asked, "A common mistake human rulers made was falling in love with someone of the opposite gender, that person caused their downfall through manipulation, many of them done bad things to impress them, that is why I am never marrying or falling in love with a female." Volvox replied, "Ugh, you don't need a woman to love you to overthrow you." Euryale said, "Euryale, careful, Volvox will kill you if he hears you insult his appearance." Stheno replied, "I'm not talking about his appearance, I'm talking about his character." Euryale said, "I don't understand that, either, how does he not see the harm he has caused?" Medusa asked, Volvox did not see himself as a tyrant, he thought himself as a genuine benevolent ruler, he ruled humans the way he did because he saw them as inferior beings due to them not having the powers of other creatures and deities, and were a plague, therefore, they had to be ruled with an iron fist as punishment for being inferior beings. The next day comes and Volvox sees the Mane Six go to the wall around his kingdom, there was no door or gate on it, "Excuse me, I'd like to speak with whoever's in there." Twilight Sparkle said, there was no response, "Helloooooo? Is anyone in there?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Um, can any animal hear me?" Fluttershy asked, Rainbow Dash flies around looking for any cracks to look through, she flies to them, "There's not a single crack or space to look through, I can't see anything." Rainbow Dash said, "This is getting ridiculous, let's try opening it up." Rarity replied, and she tried using telekinesis to move a block, she grunted, it would not come out, she stopped and panted, "Let me try." Applejack said, and she ran to it, she tried to push the same block inwards in hopes that it would come out and they could see through, but it did not budge, "That thing is stuck in there, Ah can't move it a millimeter." Applejack said, "Then how are we supposed to know what's inside?" Rarity asked, "Stand aside, my little ponies, I'm going to try blasting it with the sun." Princess Celestia said, and the Mane Six run out of the blast zone. Princess Celestia fires a blast of fire from the sun at the wall and roof surrounding Volvox's kingdom, it did not damage it, "Let me try." Princess Luna said, and she fired blue lightning from her horn, it did nothing to the wall and roof, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor walk to it, "What do you think is in there?" Princess Cadence asked, "I don't know, hopefully, not a monster." Shining Armor replied, "Ah hope not, either, if there is one, it must be a mighty huge one." Applejack said, "I thought about that, too, this is the biggest structure this world has ever seen." Twilight Sparkle replied, "It is scaring my animals, plus, it also blocks out the sun in the morning." Fluttershy said, Volvox's kingdom was northeast of Canterlot, it blocked out the sun during most of the morning, Princess Luna's moon was blocked out early in the evening as well, "Well, let's try teleporting inside." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she casts a spell to teleport into the kingdom, she and her friends enter, but Volvox had the demons put the flames out so it would be pitch black, and they were teleported out by a magic barrier in Volvox's kingdom, "Did you guys find anything?" Princess Cadence asked, "No, we can't see a thing in there." Applejack replied, "Yeah, it's completely pitch black, we didn't hear anything, either." Rainbow Dash said, "Did you all teleport out on your own?" Princess Luna asked, "No, I think, whatever's in there, it's got some kind of spell casted in there to force us out." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I still wanna see what's in there." Pinkie Pie said, "We all do, Pinkie Pie." Applejack replied, "Well, there's nothing we can do now, we'll come back another time." Princess Celestia said, and they left, Spike went over shortly afterwards, "Here goes nothing." Spike said, and he burps, the green fire he produces did not do anything, "I didn't think so." Spike said, and he walked away. The demons reignite the flames and the humans continue doing manual labor, some were dropping dead from exhaustion, the kingdom was now filled with dead bodies, a demon went to Volvox to ask him what to do, he got on his knees, "Emperor Volvox, the kingdom is filled with corpses." the demon said, "Crucify them." Volvox replied, "We don't have anymore." the demon said, "Then impale them with the spears." Volvox replied, "We used them up." the demon said, "Then why aren't you using the furnace to burn the bodies?" Volvox asked, "Don't you remember? You destroyed it when you killed Bigfoot." the demon replied, Volvox has a flashback. Volvox and Bigfoot were outside and arguing, "This is not what I signed up for, I never signed up to enslave and kill humans." Bigfoot said, "They are a plague, you will help me get rid of them." Volvox replied, "No, Volvox, I think you're the plague." Bigfoot said, Volvox's chord was struck, he was enraged at what Bigfoot just said, and did not call him by his title, "You say I'm a plague?! Then you can join the humans!" Volvox replied angrily, and he used his telekinesis to throw Bigfoot into the area with the furnace, Bigfoot screamed when he fell onto them, Volvox then shot three big orange and white blasts out of his mouths, one from each head, Bigfoot was obliterated, so was the furnace. Volvox was angry remembering the memory, "He would still be alive if he didn't provoke me like that, all of those demons and monsters I killed would be as well!" Volvox said angrily, he then used his telekinesis on the demon, he exclaimed, "As for you, you made me remember a painful memory, you will pay with your life!" Volvox said, and shot beams out of his six eyes', the demon screamed as he was killed, Volvox then contacted his demons and monsters telepathically, "All of you, stand back, I'm going to burn the bodies." Volvox said, and he ends the contact, he floats up in midair and shoots hellfire out of his front feet, it was a lot stronger than regular fire, it burns the corpses. The humans begin coughing from the smoke, it stank, and they were dying of smoke inhalation, "There, that will get rid of those humans for good." Volvox said while smiling, "Wait, there's a problem in your plans." Dommiel replied, "What would that be?" Volvox asked, "There won't be anyone to build your statues, you have to put the smoke outside." Dommiel replied, Volvox realized Dommiel was right, he groaned with disappointment and made small spaces appear in the walls and roof around his kingdom, sending the smoke out. The world's natives sees the smoke and it spreads throughout the land, "Ooh, maybe they're cooking some marshmallows." Pinkie Pie said, "Marshmallows would be nice to have right now." Starlight Glimmer replied, the black smoke spreads and everybody smells it, they cough and gag, some cover their noses, "Definitely not marshmallows." Pinkie Pie said, "I recognize that smell anywhere, it's burning flesh!" Princess Ember said while she covered her nose with her right hand, the other creatures scream in horror, Princess Celestia looks at the wall with suspicion. Volvox snickers while the natives of the world cough and gag from the stench of the smoke. The Count of Saint Germain travels through time in hopes of finding a time when humans were not influenced by Volvox, he sees that Volvox has been around since the Hadean Eon, he resided in the core of the Earth, and was created by an unseen universal figure called the Maker. The Count of Saint Germain continue traveling through time and sees Volvox was the apex predator during the times of the trilobite and dinosaurs, he noticed that Volvox made the world the way it is with his powers, he sees Volvox was at the peak of his power during the dinosaur age. The Count of Saint Germain sees Volvox had a society already, it consisted of dinosaurs and dragons, he was the emperor, the king was a wyvern, and the prince was a spinosaurus, and his rule was the same, he was a tyrant, and killed his own people over the slightest offenses. The Count of Saint Germain sees Volvox grow bored with the dinosaurs and dragons, so he uses his powers to change the world and make them extinct, he made the Ice Age happen as well. The Count of Saint Germain continues running through portals he has created in hopes of finding other humans available for help, "Wait, what's this?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, he saw Volvox arguing, he saw gods as well, there were three groups of gods, the Egyptian gods, the Greek gods, and the Norse gods, he was mainly arguing with Ra, Zeus, and Odin, "What do you mean I have to share?!" Volvox asked angrily, "It is the orders of the Maker, it wants us to add new creatures to this world." Zeus replied, "No! I was here first! This is my world to shape!" Volvox said angrily, "Your time has passed, Volvox, it's our turn." Odin replied, "When did the Maker decide this?!" Volvox asked angrily, "When you killed your own people." Ra replied, "What?! They were against my rule!" Volvox said angrily, "Your rule? You were having them fight to the death for your own entertainment." Odin replied, "Only the smartest and strongest deserve to be in my kingdom." Volvox said, "What about all of those other creatures who are not dragon or dinosaur?" Zeus asked, "They're game to me, my people can eat them." Volvox replied, "Well, now that they're gone, the Maker wants you to share the planet with us." Ra said, "No! This planet is mine! Find your own!" Volvox replied angrily, "Actually, you have no choice, Volvox, the Maker will destroy you if you refuse." Zeus said, Volvox growled and reluctantly let them control the earth. The gods create the humans, angels, and other creatures that inhabit Earth, Volvox created demons and monsters, he watched and realized that humans were evolving, and were rising to the top of the food chain, Volvox realized he might actually lose his status as the apex species on the planet, but discovered something, his mind control works on them. The Count of Saint Germain travels through time and sees humanity fighting in wars, and causing destruction to Earth because Volvox was mind controlling them, he sees Volvox mind controlled the humans to have Jesus crucified, he also saw Volvox mind control Ivan the Terrible to make him kill his own son. The Mongolian Empire and British Empire developed because of Volvox's mind control. Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini did the things they did during World War II because they were under Volvox's mind control, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was also Volvox's doing, he also made 9/11 happen by controlling the planes with his telekinesis, and every bad thing humanity has done in the time of their existence was because of him. The Count of Saint Germain keeps traveling through time and sees himself achieving time travel from an experiment-gone-wrong, and when he achieved immortality by creating and drinking the Elixir of Life. The Count of Saint Germain arrives into the future and sees every god was dead, Volvox has won against them, and the humans were extinct, Volvox ruled the Earth once again, and created the planet and creatures as he saw fit, the planet was still under his tyrannical rule, and he was enjoying what he was doing, he was laughing as well. The Count of Saint Germain went back in time in hopes of finding any civilization to help him. The next day comes and Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream were at the wall, "Uh, we'd like to share our cultures." Ocellus said, there was no response, "Hello? Is anybody interested?" Silverstream asked, "Yona want conversation with people!" Yona said, "I doubt they're going to answer, our teachers had no luck." Smolder replied, "If you guys are curious, we have a lot of things to teach." Gallus said, "It's not working, guys, we should head back." Sandbar said, "WE HAVE A LOT OF FOOD, ART, MUSIC, AND FASHION TO SHARE!!" Silverstream yelled, hoping someone would hear her on the other side of the wall, but there was no response, causing her to frown, "Come on, guys, let's go." Sandbar said, and the six leave while the humans beg for them to come back, Volvox was having Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa dance for him, the three were sympathetic of the humans. The Wendigo, the Basilisk, and the Hound of Baskervilles were hungry, so they looked for the tallest humans and began eating them, they screamed in the process, the people on the outside could not hear them, the family members of the victims cried. A few hours pass and Big Macintosh goes to the wall with a carriage on him, Sugar Belle was on it with pies, "I've brought baked goodies." Sugar Belle said in a singsong voice, the humans try to force their way out to get help, but to no avail, "Do you hear anything, Big Mac?" Sugar Belle asked, "Eenope." Big Macintosh replied, and the two wait. The humans desperately try to get out, they could not, the demons and monsters smiled as they watched the humans struggle, the two walked away after some time and the humans begin begging for them to come back, while others cried. Volvox forced the humans to continue building statues of himself and some humans begin dying from exhaustion, the five Tanukis watch with sympathy at the struggling humans, they decided to go see Volvox. The natives of the world continue looking at the wall and ceiling around Volvox's kingdom, oblivious to what was inside, but they were curious, "What do you think is in there?" Scootaloo asked, "Ah don't know, but it probably ain't good." Apple Bloom replied, "Considering yesterday, that smoke smelled horrible." Sweetie Belle said, "Hold on, something's appearing outside that thing." Scootaloo replied, they all see a magic portal open and Talos walked out, surprising the natives. Talos walked to the wall and began attacking it with his sword, it did no damage. The tar from inside comes out due to Volvox using his magic, hoping it would make Talos stuck, "Wait, what is that?" Apple Bloom asked, "It looks like tar." Sweetie Belle replied, the natives watch nervously. Talos stepped carefully as he watched the tar, he hears cries for help, he looks to his right and sees four Tanukis in the tar, which Volvox put in. Talos sheathed his sword and walked to the Tanukis, he bent down to reach them and pull them out, but the Bunyip jumped out of the tar to attack Talos, it tried to bite him, roaring in the process, Talos grabbed its front legs and they wrestle one another. Fluttershy hears the Tanukis and flies over to them, they were trying to shapeshift, but could not. Silverstream gasps when she sees them, she flies over to them and changes into a seapony in hopes of getting them out, but she got stuck in the tar when she entered, she screamed as she tried to fight her way out, "HELP!!" Silverstream screamed, "Silverstream?" Twilight Sparkle asked, and she and her five friends go over to where they heard her, the rest of the Young Six go as well. The eleven arrive and see her in the tar, they gasp and exclaim when they see the Tanukis as well. The eleven quickly work together to get them out, Applejack wrapped her lasso around Silverstream to get her out while her five friends and Pinkie Pie pulled, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Rarity worked together to get the Tanukis, Twilight Sparkle and Rarity used telekinesis while Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy tried to pull them out with their front hooves. Talos wrestles with the Bunyip while he watched the world's natives rescue their friend and the Tanukis, the Bunyip notices the Tanukis being pulled out, it roars and goes towards them with the intentions of eating them, but light green and pink flames hit it in the face, it screeches, Spike and Princess Ember arrived to help, and they help by trying to pull the Tanukis out. Talos takes his sword out and stabs the Bunyip in the back of its neck, it screeches and dies, he puts it aside and reaches down to take the Tanukis out, he then reached for Silverstream and pulled her out, she changed back to her hippogriff form, "Is everyone okay?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Silverstream panted and she turned around, "Thank you." Silverstream said to Talos, he then turned around and focused on trying to get into Volvox's kingdom. The Tanukis look around desperately for their youngest family member, it was not put in the tar with the other four, they become horrified when they see the fifth member on the ground. The four Tanukis run to their youngest family member and discover it was dead, killed by Volvox, the mother Tanuki begins to cry over her youngest child's dead body, the Mane Six and Young Six look on with shock and sympathy, Fluttershy was crying as well, "Y'all, I think we can all say, somethin' ain't right in there." Applejack said, as she and the others look at the wall. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, Queen Novo, and Princess Skystar go to the wall surrounding Volvox's kingdom, "Come out this instant! You all have explaining to do!" Princess Luna said angrily, there was no response, Volvox just watched with a magical screen, "Open up! We need to talk!" Princess Ember said angrily, there was no response, Princess Ember began to growl, "You can't ignore us forever! We'll get you to come out, one way or another!" Grampa Gruff said, "Yak being ignored? Yak declare war!" Prince Rutherford said, "Dragons declare war as well!" Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Guys, wait, maybe there's a reason why we're not getting answers." King Thorax said, "What would that be?" Princess Skystar asked, "Maybe the people on the other side can't hear us." King Thorax replied, "That would make sense, I mean, the others who came didn't get a response, either." Queen Novo said, "We don't even know if there's anyone in there or not." Shining Armor replied, "I think someone is in there, I don't think that tar and those creatures came out on their own." Grampa Gruff said, "I think so, too, but I don't know what could have done it." Princess Cadence replied, "We're still not getting a response, hold on, I'm going to try to have Discord enter." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away, she returned a few minutes later with Discord, "Oh, so this is where I have to enter, time for old Discord to work his magic." Discord said, and he tries to teleport in, but was forced out, "What the? Something in there forced me out." Discord said, and he tried to use his magic to make the wall and roof around Volvox's kingdom alive so they would move around and reveal what was inside, but his magic did not work, "What the? My magic doesn't work on it." Discord said with shock, the world's natives were shocked as well, "Let's go, it's no use, everycreature, not even Discord can get through." Princess Celestia said, and they all left, Princess Ember and Grampa Gruff were grumbling. Pinkie Pie ran to the wall and banged on it with both of her front hooves, "Open up!" Pinkie Pie said angrily, there was no response, Pinkie Pie growled and began punching her front hooves into the ground, she goes around the wall in hopes of finding an opening, she goes around the wall as well, it was wide, everybody watches her with surprise. Pinkie Pie punched all the way down to the bedrock and finished, she panted and sweated while everybody looked on, they see the wall and went underground as well, it was on the bedrock, "OH, COME ON!!" Pinkie Pie said, the world's natives were shocked to see how deep the wall went into the ground. Volvox uses his magic to fix the ground around the wall, Pinkie Pie growled, "OPEN THE WALL!! I WANT TO SEE PARTY!!" Pinkie Pie yelled, and she banged her snout on the wall multiple times, a few minutes later, they heard a crack, Pinkie Pie screamed and realized she has broken her own snout, "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow." Pinkie Pie said as she turned around and held onto her bleeding snout, her five friends run to her while Volvox and Dommiel chuckled, "Stupid girl." Dommiel said, "You okay, Pinkie Pie?" Rainbow Dash asked, Maud Pie ran to her to check on her as well, "It's alright, Pinkie, let me see." Maud Pie said, and she checks Pinkie Pie's snout, "It's not too bad, it'll heal after about a week or two." Maud Pie said, "But it really hurts." Pinkie Pie replied, "Don't worry, Pinkie Pie, I have a spell to make the pain go away." Twilight Sparkle said, "Thank you, you all are the best friends ever!" Pinkie Pie replied loudly, and hugged all of them, the humans complained about her, and they left. Volvox was busy listening to Santa Claus scream while Giovi tortured him, he was cutting him with the blades that replaced his claws, Volvox was smiling and enjoying the screams. Volvox hears walking and sees Orthrus walking in, "What do you want, Orthrus?" Volvox asked, annoyed that he interrupted his fun, Orthrus rubbed his stomach with his two heads, indicating he was hungry, "You interrupted my fun time just to ask for food?!" Volvox asked angrily, Orthrus whimpered in fear, Volvox stood up and used his telekinesis on Orthrus, he snaps both of his necks and kills him, Cerberus hears his younger brother and looked at the fortress with worry. Volvox uses his telekinesis to throw Orthrus' body out of the kingdom, through the roof, Cerberus sees him and quickly runs and jumps out through the hole before Volvox could repair it. Cerberus arrives outside and runs to Orthrus' body, he saw he was dead, he howled in grief at his brother's corpse, the world's natives see him, some were crying, they were really starting to worry what was going on inside the wall. The Count of Saint Germain continues traveling through time and accidentally finds the location of Volvox's kingdom, "Hold on a little longer, I promise I'll find help." the Count of Saint Germain said, he looked and saw Talos, he wondered if the gods opened a portal for him to enter that world. He continues his journey and sees something that catches his mind in the modern day of his world, he noticed that even extraterrestrials and beings from other realms and dimensions were trying to take Volvox down, the Count of Saint Germain also saw a sign, "To any human who escaped from Volvox's kingdom, we offer sanctuary at the palace, we have food, water, shelter, and fire, and the angels, extraterrestrials, extra-dimensionals, and gods will protect you." the sign read, the Count of Saint Germain recognized the place, he went to the palace. The palace was filled with anorexic and sick humans, the gods present there were Odin, Frigg, Váli, Víðarr, Baldr, Thor, Sif, Ullr, Þrúðr, Dellingr, Nótt, Forseti, Hermóðr, Lóðurr, Týr, Eir, Iðunn, Lofn, Sjöfn, Freyja, Zeus, Hestia, Hera, Poseidon, Amphitrite, Hades, Persephone, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Demeter, Dionysus, Hephaestus, Hermes, Amun, Amunet, Mehit, Atum, Horus, Montu, Neper, Nepit, Ra, Ptah, Thoth, Ma'at, Bast, Hathor, Heket, Hesat, Mut, Renenūtet, Tefnut, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Bishamonten. There were many angels there as well, but the Count of Saint Germain only recognized Michael, he ignored them and walked to the people. There were many different species', the angels see him and they inform the others, Odin, Zeus, and Ra go to him, "Who are you?" Zeus asked, "I'm the Count of Saint Germain, I'm a time traveler, I'm looking for help against Volvox." the Count of Saint Germain replied, the three gods become surprised, they go back to inform the others, a group of military humans go to him, "You've come to the right place, lead us to him." the leader of the unit said, "Wait, what about the gods, why can't they come?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "There's too many humans to take care of, they can't leave them be." a man in the unit replied, "We're also waiting for Talos to return, he hasn't come back yet." another man said, "I saw him, he's at Volvox's kingdom, we must hurry." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Agreed, lead the way." the leader of the unit said, and he follows the Count of Saint Germain. Volvox was having Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa dancing for him again, the three were shocked and disgusted that he killed Orthrus for just asking for food. The three finish and Volvox was not pleased this time, "I didn't like your dances this time." Volvox said, "We apologize, Emperor Volvox, we'll try better next time." Stheno replied, "GOD Volvox!" Volvox said angrily, scaring the three with his booming voice, "You are no god, you're a bad ruler." Euryale said, "I'm the bad ruler? Those humans are a plague, I'm saving the world by destroying their kind." Volvox replied, "Then why do you have them building statues of yourself?" Medusa asked, "To let them know who's superior, they are the only species of developed creatures that cannot use magic or have any powers, therefore, they are inferior." Volvox replied, "The dinosaurs of your kingdom didn't have any powers, either!" Medusa said angrily, "That was a different story! They were prototypes of what I was going to create, those humans are not!" Volvox replied angrily, Medusa was getting angry, "That's it, I can't do this anymore, I quit." Medusa said, Volvox used telekinesis on her while her two sister exclaim in horror, "Then I no longer have any use of you." Volvox said, and he uses his telekinesis to rip her head off and kill her, she screamed in the process, Volvox then threw her body outside of his fortress, Stheno and Euryale quickly slither outside and see their youngest sister's dead body, the two cradle it and cry, the humans watch with horror, but the demons hit them to force them back to working. Dommiel became angry at Volvox, "Volvox! They were never a threat to begin with!" Dommiel said angrily, "You dare question me?!" Volvox asked, "This has gone on long enough, you can't just kill whoever displeases you!" Dommiel replied angrily, "My kingdom, my rules!" Volvox said, "Then I quit!" Dommiel replied angrily, the others hear him, Volvox shot beams out of his six eyes, black beams from his right head, red beams from his left head, and yellow beams from his center head, they burn Dommiel and he screams, Volvox uses his telekinesis to throw him outside after he was dead, "To all of you monsters and demons! I will personally kill whoever tries to quit or question my authority!" Volvox said, and the monsters and demons serve under him with fear. The Mane Six, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike were with Cerberus and the Tanukis, they were at Fluttershy's cottage, they were still grieving, "Have ya gotten anythin' out of 'em, Fluttershy?" Applejack asked, "No, I can't understand what they're saying." Fluttershy replied, "I mean, they did just lose someone they liked, so of course they'll be hard to understand." Spike said, "No, what I mean is I don't understand their language." Fluttershy replied, "Can you all at least try to show us what you're trying to tell us?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Cerberus and the Tanukis lead them. They arrive at the wall again and the Tanukis and Cerberus direct their attention to the tar, "Wait, is something in there?" Rarity asked, the five creatures nod, Talos sees them and takes a break from trying to break the wall down, he walks to them, reaches into the tar with his right hand, and pulls out a human skeleton, the world's natives scream at seeing it, "Just what is going on in there?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Hold on, I'll see if I can remove all of this tar." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she casts a spell, the tar disappears, they gasp and exclaim in horror when they see human skeletons were everywhere in it. Princess Celestia flew to them and landed, "I was always suspicious something bad was going on in there, this more than confirms it, we have to break the wall down." Princess Celestia said, "But how? Not even Discord can get in there." Rainbow Dash replied, "I'm thinking about that now, let's go, I'll let you know if I come up with anything." Princess Celestia replied, and they all leave. Several hours pass and another portal opens in front of the wall, everybody sees the Count of Saint Germain and the military unit come out, surprising the natives, "He's here, I hope I'm not too late." the Count of Saint Germain said, "This is the area? Okay, we're going to blast the wall with explosives, stand back." the leader of the unit said, and he and his unit lay dynamite everywhere on it, they worked together to put it on the roof and underground as well, they all stand back, Talos walked away from the wall, "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, detonate." the leader of the unit said, and another soldier pushes a switch down with his hands. The dynamites explode and destroy the wall and roof, the smoke clears and it revealed a second layer underneath, the world's natives become irritated, "Oh, come on!" Rainbow Dash said in an exasperated tone, "Okay, we're going to try the same thing." the leader of the unit said, and they lay more dynamite and blow it up, the smoke clears and the second wall was undamaged, shocking the world's natives, "Nope, this one's stronger than the first layer." the leader of the unit said, the Count of Saint Germain was worried. Everybody hears cries of help on the inside, the military unit hears them as well, "Thank goodness, I made it on time." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Let's see if there's an opening anywhere." the leader of the unit replied, and they check, they see a very narrow at the bottom in the front, on the left side, "I can fit through there." a male soldier said, "Alright then, get your camera, let's see what this man says is true." the leader of the unit replied, and he puts a head camera on the soldier, and he goes in. The soldier crawls through with the camera recording, the military unit watched with a big screen, the world's natives watched as well, curious about what was inside, the moat was empty, but skeletons and sharp objects were still inside. The soldier climbs up out of the trench and looks at what was inside, the world's natives exclaim and scream in horror when they see the impaled and crucified humans, there were dead bodies everywhere, they also see humans working for demons as slaves, they were sick and anorexic, some died while working as well, so did the animals, the area was filled with monsters as well, "No way, the man's tale is true." a soldier on the outside said, "Wait, look up there." another soldier replied, they watch the screen and see Volvox standing on top of his fortress, "Argh! Emperor Volvox!" the soldier said in terror, Volvox shoots an orange and white blast from his center head, it hits the human and he screams in pain as he was killed, orange light shone outside a little as well, Volvox then uses his powers to fix the hole. The unit's radio goes off, "We saw the screen, permission to engage in combat granted, sending reinforcements and heavy weaponry now!" the man on the radio said, and it goes off. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs head over to Volvox's kingdom and start attacking the wall, the unicorns and changelings shoot spells out of their horns', Pegasi and earth ponies were trying to remove the bricks, the dragons breathed fire and tried to use their claws to remove the bricks, the griffons tried to use their talons to remove the bricks, they also tried pecking their way through with their beaks, the yaks charged into the wall in hopes cracking it, several other changelings changed into the world's native creatures to attack the wall, and the hippogriffs tried to pull the bricks out with their talons. The humans wait for their reinforcements while Talos was trying to pry the bricks out with his sword, "Nothing's working!" Twilight Sparkle said, "We can't give up! There are lives at stake in there!" Princess Celestia replied while she tried to use her magic to destroy the wall. Portals open and more soldiers and tanks come out, the tanks begin shooting at the wall in hopes of destroying it, they were not working. The Tanukis and Cerberus went over to help break the wall down, they were not making any progress either, "We ain't gettin' anywhere, the wall has no damage to it." Applejack said, "Keep trying, Applejack, we have to help them!" Princess Cadence replied, all of the creatures continue trying to break the wall down. The environment behind the humans change and it closely resembled Earth, they see movement in the water, the Laestrygonians come to the surface while growling and roaring, surprising the world's natives, they attack the wall and try to break it apart with Talos, they hear more movement and they see Poseidon come with his trident, Amphitrite was with him as well, they attack the wall as well. The ground bursts open and Hades arrives with Persephone, Osiris and Anubis have come to help as well. The sky gets cloudy and two lightning strikes hit the wall, everybody saw Zeus and Thor combining their thunders together to make powerful strikes, four horses come as well, everybody saw the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have arrived to help, they were skeletal and wore black cloaks, while the White Horseman had a crown on his head, Michael leads angels to the wall and they all throw yellow spears of light at the roof, Odin soon joined while riding on Sleipnir. The plants form together and everybody became surprised, they form a being as big as the wall around Volvox's kingdom, the being had red eyes. Volvox was watching through a magical screen and he stood up with shock, "What?! Swamp Thing?! I killed you!" Volvox said, unable to believe he has returned. Swamp Thing begins putting its plants and vines into the spaces between the bricks, Ares soon arrives and begins attacking with his sword and shield. Star Swirl the Bearded runs to them, "I'm here!" Star Swirl the Bearded said, "Good, Twilight, we're going to need your help." Princess Celestia said, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Twilight Sparkle, Flurry Heart, and Star Swirl the Bearded cast a spell together, they hit the wall and the whole thing explodes, "Okay, it's down, let's go." Twilight Sparkle said, and everybody enters Volvox's kingdom. Everybody flies and marches into Volvox's kingdom while the humans cover their eyes' and look away from the bright sun. A black shadow forms on the bridge and the Hound of Baskervilles appears, it growls and snarls at them, Cerberus runs to it and the two fight. Cerberus had the upper hand for the time until the Hound of Baskervilles disappeared and reappeared behind Cerberus, it bites him and he roars, Winona runs to the Hounds of Baskervilles and jumps onto it to distract it. The Hound of Baskervilles moves around in hopes of getting Winona off, but Twilight Sparkle casts a spell and dispels the creature, everybody continues inwards. Volvox's demons charge forward while the angels and Michael enter the battle, the humans use their guns to shoot the demons. Seere appears and goes over to fight, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse ride to him, but Seere hits them away with his spear, the Four Horsemen disappeared and reappeared, so did Seere, he was able to appear anywhere, and appeared in a few seconds, "Ignore the creatures for now, take out that guy on the winged horse." Shining Armor said as he led the royal guards, they could not get him due to him appearing and disappearing everywhere, the changelings tried to shoot him with their beams, they all missed, the unicorns all cast telekinesis everywhere and eventually get ahold of Seere, the Pale Horseman decapitates him with his scythe. The Stymphalian Birds dive down and attack the humans, they scream in pain as the world's natives realize they had beaks as sharp as blades, they also launched their feathers at the angels. The Pegasi, Wonderbolts, dragons, griffons, and hippogriffs try to restrain them from behind, Zeus and Thor use their lightning powers on them, it did nothing. Fluttershy commands the world's animals to fight the birds, she also tried to reason with them, but they did not listen, and shot their feathers at her. The White Horseman aimed his bow at the birds and shot down several, another portal opened and Artemis came out, she shot down several as well, magic was not working on them, they were soon turned into meat. Everybody was confused until they saw Discord, "Discord, you're here." Twilight Sparkle said, "Of course I am, I couldn't bear to watch my friends get hurt." Discord replied, the world's natives smiled. Screeching was heard and they saw Phoenix coming, he opens his mouth and breathes fire, "Get down!" the leader of the unit said, and they all do, the fire passes them. The dragons get ready to fly up and fight it, but something attacks Phoenix from his right, they struggle and everybody sees it was Philomena, surprising everybody. The two phoenixes fight while in the air, they were able to tell who was who, since Philomena only had red and orange feathers, while Phoenix was literally made out of fire. Phoenix breathes fire out of his mouth and it did nothing to Philomena, she tries to attack Phoenix with her talons while screeching, Princess Celestia watched with worry. Philomena gets electrocuted and screeches, the world's natives were very shocked, they all look and saw blue electricity, it comes forward and they all saw Thunderbird flying into the battle, "Is that... a thunderbird?" Applejack asked, "I've never seen one before." Twilight Sparkle said, Philomena was deeply hurt and falling, "No!" Rainbow Dash said as she flew to her and brought her to safety, "Everybody, step aside." Poseidon said, and they all do, he and Amphitrite use their powers to shoot water at the two birds, but the water near Phoenix evaporated, and Thunderbird absorbed it, making his lightning powers stronger, "We're going in." Princess Celestia said, the ponies were shocked, "But, Princess Celestia..." Twilight Sparkle said, "Go on without us, we'll deal with the birds, let's go, sister." Princess Celestia said, and she and Princess Luna fly to them, Princess Celestia went to fight Thunderbird, while Princess Luna went to go fight Phoenix. More portals open and Goatman and Spring-Heeled Jack came out, the two arrived to help, they go forward and see more demons, they all fight while the humans go past them to rescue the humans under Volvox's rule, Víðarr entered the battle shortly afterwards, with the anger of the deceased and their loved ones fueling his powers. Everybody divided into groups, the ground bursts open and there was water, everybody saw the Bake-kujira in it, there were humans desperately trying to swim to safety. General Seaspray jumped into the water and changed to a seapony, the hippogriff navy entered with him, he fights the Bake-kujira while the other hippogriffs get the humans. Several humans and angels with fighting the demons in the eastern part of the kingdom, several humans screamed as they were eaten, they all saw the Azhi Dahaka coming, the angels throw spears at it to attack it, but its wounds made poisonous snakes, spiders, scorpions, and lizards fall out, they bit and stung the angels and humans, they screamed and died from their poison, "Get the creatures!" Princess Ember said, "What? That thing's dangerous!" a human soldier replied, "Just go! I'll deal with it!" Princess Ember said, and the people got the humans and animals under Volvox's rule while Princess Ember fought the Azhi Dahaka. The people in the west were struggling against the Mongolian Death Worm, it burrowed into the ground, came out, shot paralyzing electricity out of its mouth, and burrowed back in, the yaks and Mane Six were struggling, "How are we supposed to win against this?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "Watch out for its venom, it's corrosive, too." the Count of Saint Germain replied, he walks carefully with a revolver in his left hand, the Mongolian Death Worm senses him through vibration and quickly came out of the ground, it was about to shoot a bolt of electricity at him, but it screeches and falls, everybody sees Prince Rutherford charged and stabbed his horns into its back, but the Mongolian Death Worm burrows into the ground and takes him with it. Hades uses his powers to open the ground, Applejack throws her lasso and it lands on the Mongolian Death Worm's neck, she tries to pull it back but it resisted, a sword is stabbed into its head and it was killed, everybody saw the Red Horseman, Talos walked over and pulled Prince Rutherford out of the ground, "Is everybody okay?" Twilight Sparkle asked, they all nodded, they see the humans and go to get them out of the kingdom. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna fly around to dodge the fire and lightning breaths of Phoenix and Thunderbird, the two princesses shoot beams out of their horns, the birds shot fire and lightning out of their mouths, Princess Celestia entered a deadlock with Thunderbird while Princess Luna entered a deadlock with Phoenix, Grampa Gruff and Gallus flew to them and attacked the two birds from behind with their talons, they got distracted and the two birds got hit and were destroyed, "Thank you, both of you." Princess Celestia said, "Save the thanks for later, we've got a battle to win." Grampa Gruff replied, and they fly to help the others. General Seaspray see the humans were all out of the water while he wrestled with the Bake-kujira, he changed to a hippogriff and tried to fly out, but could not, Terramar and Silverstream flew to him and pulled him out, he took the Bake-kujira out of the water as well, it could not breathe and died, "Is everybody okay?" Terramar asked, the rescued humans nodded, they hear roaring and see Flauros running to them, he tries to slash them with his claws, the hippogriffs moved away from the humanoid leopard, he focuses on Queen Novo and runs to her. Princess Ember wrestled with the Azhi Dahaka and was careful of its head, she slashes its body with her claws, the poisonous critters fell out and she burned them all with her fire breath, more begin to fall out and she was shocked to notice it was too many for her to burn, more fire breaths appear behind her and she sees Dragon Lord Torch, Spike, and Smolder have come to help. Goatman and Spring-Heeled Jack go over to help, Spring-Heeled Jack jumped onto the left head to force it down, Goatman cut it off with his axe, Spring-Heeled Jack jumped to the right head and forced it down, Goatman cut it off, Spring-Heeled Jack then stabbed one of his knives into the center head, it screeched and fell, Goatman then cut the last head off. Poisonous critters come out of Azhi Dahaka's body, but Fluttershy flies over and commands the animals, they leave without harming them, Princess Ember sighed with relief. Queen Novo flew around to dodge Flauros while he tried to slash her, Zeus threw a thunderbolt at him and destroyed him. They hear running and saw the Black Horseman chasing Andras, he used his scales to change the terrain, he tried to slash whoever got in his way with his sword, he was trying to go to the world to spread chaos, but Discord sensed him and blocked the entrance, "Uh, uh, uh, spreading chaos in this world is my job." Discord said, Andras tried to slash him with his sword, but it did nothing to Discord, Starlight Glimmer zapped him from behind and he was destroyed. The Tanukis arrive to help and enter the country, they hear roaring and see the Wendigo waiting for them, they changed to Wendigos to battle it, Thorax and Ocellus saw them, they changed into bugbears and went over to help. The Wendigo had trouble against them and was being overpowered, Thorax and Ocellus stung him from behind to paralyze him, and the Tanukis ripped him apart and changed back to normal. Swamp Thing was near the south of Volvox's kingdom, he saw the plants near him dying, he noticed the Basilisk was coming over to fight him, he was made sure not to look into its eyes. Swamp Thing tried to have vines entangle the Basilisk, but its breath killed the plants. Swamp Thing decided to go into the ground, and reform behind it, he tried to choke it but its breath was killing him. Rarity sees several humans run to the Basilisk, but it looks at them and they die instantly, Rarity exclaim with shock and used her telekinesis to get a mirror from her home, she used it to block her view, but when the Basilisk saw itself, it died, Swamp Thing looked away. Rarity was very surprised, she did not expect that to happen. Everybody hears screaming and saw the Nuckelavee running away with a human boy in each hand. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse chase it while the Black Horseman used his scales to change the terrain, Poseidon shot fresh water at it, the creature screeched and dissolved. Everybody continues on to the fortress but the Count of Saint Germain got attacked, they all saw Judas, "I didn't think you'd return, Count of Saint Germain, you will die for your treachery." Judas said, and he held a gladius in his right hand, the Count of Saint Germain stood up and held a sabre in his right hand. The two enter a sword duel and everybody watched, the two hit each other's swords, the Count of Saint Germain's sword had longer range, which helped him, he soon slashed Judas' neck and he died, the sword fight lasted for about two and a half minutes. Everybody continued going forward but a fiery explosion appeared, the smoke clears and everybody saw Giovi, he glared at them, and was ready to fight, "Wait, are those knife blades in place of his fingers?" Starlight Glimmer asked, Giovi got into a fighting stance, the Count of Saint Germain shot a bullet at him, he cut it in midair with the knife blades on his right hand. The human soldiers shoot their guns at him, he held all of the bullets in midair with telekinesis, shocking the ponies, because he did not have a horn. Giovi lunged towards the Count of Saint Germain, he slashed him with the ten knife blades and cut his revolver in the process, the Count of Saint Germain was overwhelmed by his speed and strength. Princess Ember ran to him, "I'll take him on." Princess Ember said, and Giovi got ready to fight her, he did not say anything. Princess Ember tried to wrestle him, but he simply stabbed his knife blades into her palms, she screamed, he then used telekinesis on her to restrain her movement, he was ready to kill her, but he heard Pinkie Pie coming, she tried to tackle him, but he does a backflip to dodge her, Twilight Sparkle shoots him with a zap, he knocked him back, he did not make a sound, "Is he mute?" Rarity asked, "No, he just chooses not to speak." a human boy replied, Princess Ember landed on her feet and shot fire out of her mouth, but Giovi used his magic and the fire floated around him, the world's natives gasp, the pink fire changes to orange and he shoots it back at her, Princess Ember was not harmed. Princess Ember tackles him onto the ground, but he does a backflip and lands on top of Princess Ember's chest with his feet, his boots pressed against her chest hard, she grunted loudly. Dragon Lord Torch flew to him and punched him off of his daughter, Giovi was about to fall, but he landed on his right hand and did a backflip to land on his feet, he then quickly ran towards Dragon Lord Torch, he was too fast to be seen with the regular eye, he was about to attack, but Princess Cadence and Shining Armor teleported between him and Dragon Lord Torch, they use their shields to hold him back, the Count of Saint Germain got up and stabbed his sword into the back of his head and kills him. Everybody hears a lot of racket in the sky and they saw Michael fighting Lucifer, there were six other angels with him, the Count of Saint Germain recognized them, Gabriel was fighting Satan, Uriel was fighting Leviathan, Selaphiel was fighting Mammon, Jegudiel was fighting Beelzebub, Raphael was fighting Asmodeus, and Barachiel was fighting Belphegor. Asmodeus made the demons attack people of their opposite genders, Leviathan made the demons attack those who were rich, Mammon had control over metallic and paper objects, Beelzebub made the demons try to eat other people, Belphegor made the world's natives, angels, and deities have no energy, they fell to the ground, he also had gravity powers, Satan had fire powers and granted them to the demons who had short tempers, and Lucifer made the rich and successful native people of the world attack those who were just as rich or successful as them, they controlled the demons telepathically. Star Swirl the Bearded tried to fight back the lack of energy and sensed them with his magic, he realized Belphegor's magic was making them have no energy, "Everybody, take out that sitting guy, he's the one who's seeping our energy." Star Swirl the Bearded said, "But how? I can't even move." Rainbow Dash replied, "Me neither, I don't have the energy to cast even the simplest spell." Twilight Sparkle said, "We have to fight it, it may be difficult, but we have to try." Princess Celestia replied, she tried to stand up but had trouble, everybody tried as well. Zeus and Thor managed to break through, so did Odin, he tried to help, "Thor, let's try to wipe them out in one blow." Zeus said, "I agree." Thor replied, "I'll help, then." Star Swirl the Bearded said, and the two gods put their lightnings together, and shoot out, Star Swirl the Bearded casts a spell to multiply it. The Princes of the Seven Deadly Sins were hit and they scream and explode. Everybody stands up and looks around, they saw the demons have yielded, "Well, that's the last of them." Thor said, "Volvox is the only one left." Odin replied, "Let's go, then." Princess Celestia said, and they enter the fortress. Everybody sees the fortress was empty, and they hear screaming, they run and see the demons torturing Santa Claus. Twilight Sparkle casts a spell to subdue the demons, they see Santa Claus chained up with many wounds on him, "Thank you, I thought help would never come." Santa Claus said, "You're welcome, hold on." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she uses her magic to break the chains, Santa Claus panted and other creatures took him outside. Everybody walks around the fortress and see no one, they soon arrive into the throne room and saw Volvox was gone, unbeknownst to them, Volvox has shrunken himself to the size of an atom, "Ah, he got away." Hades said, "What?! No! No! No! He couldn't have escaped!" Pinkie Pie said, "I know, right, we all saw him, he's huge." Rainbow Dash replied, "Trust us, Volvox has many powers, most people don't challenge his rule because of it." Zeus said, "Well, it's a shame he got away, we'll have to check our world and see if he's there, thank you for your help, all of you." Poseidon said, "You're welcome, we'll be around if you all need anymore help." Princess Celestia replied, and the world's natives leave. The gods begin evacuating the humans with the Count of Saint Germain and the military unit. Portals open and centaurs walk out, a portal opened in the sky and Amun and Ra came out, "Guys, Volvox isn't in our world." Amun said, "What?" Ares asked, "It's true, we checked with our powers, he's still in his fortress, he just shrunk himself to the size of an atom." Ra replied, the other gods and humans look at the fortress. An explosion comes out of the fortress and orange flames burst out of the ground. Volvox changes his regular size with hellfire around him, "You gods had to come here, you all destroyed the Earth, I'm not going down without a fight." Volvox said, "Come on, Volvox, we're not afraid of you." a male soldier said, "Then come, and face the flames of Hell, itself." Volvox replied, the soldier runs to him to fight, Volvox shoots hellfire out of his front right foot, it hits the soldier, he screams and burned immediately, the fire extinguished as soon he was done burning, there were no remains of the soldier, even his teeth and bones burned. The world's natives screamed in horror at what they saw, "That's not regular fire, it shouldn't burn anyone that fast, or burn the skeleton and teeth." Princess Ember said, Thor and Zeus combine their lightnings together to hit Volvox, it did nothing to him, the centaurs shot arrows at him, but when they hit Volvox, the arrows bent and broke, they fell onto the ground. Volvox lifts his front legs up, hellfire comes out of the ground and burns the people, they scream, the tentacles that made up his spine come up and begin throwing the yellow seven-pointed bladed stars around, they bounce around and cut the people fighting him. The world's natives go over to help since the others were struggling, Odin rode Sleipnir to Volvox to fight him, his sons joined as well, Odin jumped and tried to stab Volvox with his spear, but his spear could not penetrate his skin, the unicorns and changelings try hitting him with their magic, it did nothing. Volvox looked around and saw he had many enemies, his six eyes glow, orange and white light appear in his three mouths, and he had orange light on his front feet, he stood up on his hind legs and held his front legs out, he shoots out hundreds of hellfire blasts from his front feet, hundreds of orange and white blasts from his mouths, and hundreds of black, red, and yellow beams from his eyes. Princess Cadence and Shining Armor casts shields with their horns, they were just barely able to withstand Volvox's beams, Volvox makes his three necks stretch out and his heads go into the ground, they appear inside the shields and shoot the beams, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor scream in horror as they take their shields down, the others get away from him. Swamp Thing grabs Volvox from behind and restrains him, it causes his heads come out of the ground and back onto his body, "Everybody, attack his heads, they're his weak points." Swamp Thing said, Goatman and Spring Heeled Jack jump onto his right head and left head respectively, Goatman tries to destroy his skeleton head while Spring Heeled Jack tried to destroy his shadow head, their weapons could not put a scratch on him. Volvox impales Swamp Thing with his tail, he disappears into the ground and reappears in front of him, fully healed, surprising the world's natives. Swamp Thing wraps vines around Volvox to entangle him, Volvox uses his hellfire powers to burn them, "Ra, now." Amun said, and the two fuse into Amun-Ra, they float up and shoot a fire blast from the sun, Princess Celestia flew up to give them her power, the sun became a fiery blast. Volvox escapes the vines and shoots hellfire blasts from his three mouths, he fuses them into one big blast, it goes up and it enters a deadlock with the blast from the sun. The sun blast and hellfire blast make the world very hot, everybody was sweating, Swamp Thing took energy from the sun blast to make himself stronger. The Count of Saint Germain tried shooting Volvox's center head with another gun, he hits him, but the bullet bounces off, he then threw his sword at him, it hit Volvox in his left chest, but the blade bent, the sword broke and fell down. The seven bladed organic stars that came off of Volvox's spine bounce around and cut whatever they hit, the world's natives scream as they dodge them, Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer use their telekinesis to grab them and put them down. The angels throw spears at Volvox's heads, they break and bounce off as well. Swamp Thing appears behind Volvox and wraps vines around his heads, he makes sure to wrap them in his mouths to prevent him from using his hellfire blasts, he already ensnared his legs, Volvox got hit and he grunts loudly when his three heads were hit, they all got destroyed. Volvox's body opens and poisonous snakes, spider, scorpions, and lizards fell out of his body, the dragons use their fire breaths to burn them, his heart was exposed. Everybody attacks it while he regenerates, he fully regenerated in ten seconds, shocking the world's natives, "What?! Already?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "That doesn't make sense, someone as big as him shouldn't regenerate that fast." Twilight Sparkle said, Volvox realized that they have found out his weakness, but he still had a few tricks up his sleeve, he shrinks himself to the size of an atom, and casts a spell to make himself invisible. Volvox uses his powers to make lava erupt from the ground, he also made a hurricane appear, along with a typhoon, a tsunami, an avalanche, a wildfire, tornadoes, acid rain, and freezing rain. Everybody screams as the acid rain falls, "What is going on?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "It's Volvox, this is why no mortal challenges him, he change and shape the environment to his will with his mind." Zeus replied, shocking the world's natives. Swamp Thing looks around with the microscopic algae to find Volvox, he did not see him anywhere, "I can't find him anywhere." Swamp Thing said, "Well, he did disappear in front of us." Twilight Sparkle replied, "No, he didn't, he just shrunk himself to the size of an atom." Thor said, "I still don't see him anywhere." Swamp Thing replied, Princess Luna casts a spell to find him, she detects him and senses something else, "No wonder why you can't find him, he casted an invisibility spell." Princess Luna said, Princess Celestia casts a spell to undo it, and he became visible. Swamp Thing sees him and tries to ensnare him, but while he tries, a portal opens to the east and another Volvox came out, this one was a cyborg, horrifying the world's natives and the humans, "You will not beat me in the past, my life is in jeopardy." Volvox said, everybody realized he was Volvox from the future. The tanks begin shooting at him and see the metallic skin on him was weaker than his organic ones, he shoots beams out of his eyes at them to destroy them, more portals opened and UFOs came out, they shoot disintegrating rays at Future Volvox, he just used his telekinesis to destroy them, more UFOs come out of the portals to fight him. Zeus, Thor, Poseidon, and Amphitrite combine their powers together to soak him and shock him in hopes it will shut him down, it only stunned him and partially immobilized him. Future Volvox teleports around and shoots his hellfire blasts everywhere, but Discord used his powers to make him turn into stone, "No, no, no, two Volvoxes is cheating." Discord said, but Future Volvox undoes Discord's spell, the world's natives were very shocked to see Discord's magic did not work on him, "Foolish creature, such spells don't work on me." Volvox said as he held Discord up, he vaporizes him with his eye beams, but Discord's spirit floated around to help. Swamp Thing manages to ensnare Volvox but he shoots a big orange and white blast from the mouth of his center head, it was visible to the naked eye, "There he is!" Applejack said, and Princess Celestia casts a spell to force him to change back to his regular size, Star Swirl the Bearded tried casting a spell to destroy him, but it did nothing to him, "Come on, girls, let's try the Rainbow Power." Twilight Sparkle said, and the Mane Six run to the Tree of Harmony, they open the chest and obtain the Rainbow Power, Volvox shoots orange and white blasts out of his three mouths at them, they scream as they fall, they looked on in complete shock, unable to believe that Volvox would attack someone while they are transforming. The angels and UFOs deal with Future Volvox, he was destroying them all with ease, Goatman ran onto Future Volvox's tail and up his spine, he cuts his heads with his axe, Future Volvox grunted loudly and his body opened up, he had hidden artillery inside his body, everybody moved away to dodge them, Michael threw a spear into his heart and he screamed, it exploded, he fell over and died, everybody was surprised at how easily he went down. Volvox continues changing the environment around and was creating monsters to fight, Sunburst casted a spell to get rid of them, "Hurry, I don't know how long I can keep this up." Sunburst said, the Mane Six power up with the Rainbow Power. Swamp Thing ensnares Volvox again while Spring Heeled Jack jumped onto his heads to distract him, Star Swirl the Bearded casts a spell that destroys all three of his heads at once, his body opens up again and the poisonous critters fall out, which the dragons burned with their fire breaths. The unicorns, princesses, and changelings shoot a blast from their horns together, while the Mane Six use the Rainbow Power, they hit Volvox in the heart and he screams and falls to the ground. Volvox gets up while panting and realized he had no energy, "It's over, Volvox, your tyranny ends here." Zeus said, "Tyranny?! You're the ones who infected the Earth with this plague you call a species! I'm saving the Earth by getting rid of them!" Volvox replied angrily, the world's natives were very shocked by what he called the humans, "The Earth is going to develop now, your time as emperor is over." Amun-Ra said, "I'm a god!" Volvox replied angrily, "They're gods, too, Volvox." the Count of Saint Germain said, "I'm your only god! I was on the Earth first! That planet was mine! I was the very first being to ever exist on there!" Volvox replied angrily, the world's natives were getting angry with him, "The Maker said for us to share." Zeus said, "Share after I was gone, there are many other planets out there, and of all of the planets, you had to choose mine, you could've had the humans live on a planet in the Trappist 1 system!" Volvox replied angrily, "You brought it onto yourself, Volvox." Thor said, "How?" Volvox asked, "The Maker decided to put us as the creators of the planet when it saw you rule, and it saw you kill your own people." Thor replied, "That wasn't my fault, I was the apex species of Earth, I had to show them that I still am!" Volvox said angrily, "No." Princess Celestia said, and she flew up to him, "You may be the most powerful creature from that planet, but that does not give the right to be cruel, you could use many lessons in sharing." Princess Celestia said, "I'm not sharing anything, if you other deities want my planet, you'll have to kill me first." Volvox said, "Very well." Amun-Ra relied, and they shoot a solar blast at him, Volvox did not scream or make any noises, he just accepted his death, "Wow, that went on quickly." Twilight Sparkle said, "I wouldn't rest yet, he's very hard to get rid of." Thor replied, "Let's go home, it's time his demons stand trial." Swamp Thing said, "Wait, just who are you?" Rarity asked, "I am the avatar of the green." Swamp Thing replied, "The green?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It is our home's plants." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Yes, I am the planet's guardian." Swamp Thing said, "Let's take Volvox's demons with us, let's find out what really happened." Zeus said, and they go back to Earth. Volvox's demons stood trial back on Earth with the gods, angels, and other creatures, the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, their world's rulers, and many other creatures from their world attended the trial as well to make sure the demons do not get away with their crimes. Swamp Thing was at the trial as well, so was the Green Lantern Corps, the Guardians of the Universe were there as well, so was the Justice League, the X-Men, Samurai Jack, the Crystal Gems, the Z Fighters, Kenshiro, Toki, the Joestar family, the Predators, the Terminator, Robocop, Takeshi Hongo, Hayato Ichimonji, Kazuya Taki, Tobei Tachibana, Aang, Korra, the BSAA, and Earth's wildlife, including several cryptids and mythical creatures, who hid the humans from Volvox's demons, and fought to protect them when they were spotted. The demons talk about Volvox's rule within the kingdom, how he declared himself a god, tried to make the humans build statues of himself, and how long they lived depended on what shape they were in when Volvox teleported them into his kingdom against their will. The demons also talk about Volvox's pettiness, and one time, he wished for his birthday to be everyday, but one demon said that's not possible, and Volvox killed him as a result. The natives of Equestria watch the trial and realize the other people present there have fought Volvox and his demons at one point or another, some of them were crying at what they heard and watched, so was Steven Universe. The Count of Saint Germain went up and revealed what he has found while he looked for help, he revealed that all of the bad things that happened in human history happened because Volvox controlled them telepathically, the Mane Six looked on in horror when they saw it, they had tears in their eyes' when they saw the Holocaust and 9/11, they realized the humans have been living in fear of Volvox for millions of years. Twilight Sparkle watched with horror and was crying a bit, she realized Volvox was worse than Queen Chrysalis, King Sombra, and the Storm King combined. The trial came close to the end and every demon who has served under Volvox said they had no regrets for their actions, this greatly angered the Mane Six and the others from their worlds, the Joestar family was angry as well, so was Korra, the trial ended and every demon was sentenced to death, they were executed shortly afterwards, Kenshiro and Goku were the main executioners, Princess Ember took part in the execution as well. Six weeks pass and the humans stayed on the world they were in since the Earth was still destroyed, the palace was transferred into their world via magic as well, the natives see the sign the Count of Saint Germain saw earlier about sanctuary in the palace, "I can't believe this happened, I hope they can recover." Twilight Sparkle said, "I do, too, Twilight, but look, those kind people opened up their hearts to protect them from their tyrannical ruler, I think you can learn another lesson in friendship from them, that you don't have to know the person, any random person who helps you can be a friend." Princess Celestia replied, they see the Earth's native fauna and creatures helping the humans as well, Fluttershy brought her pets over to offer additional help, "Let's go, Twilight, we should help them as well." Princess Celestia said, and they go over to help the humans recover. Hours pass and the world's natives leave while the gods, angels, extraterrestrials, and extra-dimensionals thank them. The ground bursts open and Osiris, Anubis, and Hades run to them, "Help!" Anubis said, "What is it?" Zeus asked, "It's Volvox, he's taken over the afterlife!" Anubis replied, the world's natives look at him with horror, the ground opens even more and Volvox came out, he was now light blue, he was a ghost now, "Heh, heh, heh, that's right, you foolish deities, not even the afterlife is out of my reach." Volvox said while smiling, Future Volvox came out as well, "I'm back as well." Future Volvox said, the humans scream in horror at seeing him come back. The world's natives hurry over to help them, the two Volvoxes shoot blasts out their mouths at them, everybody tried attacking them, but everything went through them. Everybody hears roaring and sees gargoyles flying to them to help, they were able to attack Volvox and Future Volvox due to them being created to protect others from evil spirits. The two Volvoxes control hellfire together and try to burn the gargoyles, Spike burps and shoots green fire at them, the hellfire canceled out the dragon's fire immediately. The gargoyles try to slash both Volvoxes with their claws, it was not harming him, so Osiris, Anubis, and Hades join in the fight, they command the ghosts of the afterlife to hold him off. Star Swirl the Bearded casts a spell to empower the gargoyles to make their claws stronger, they soon broke the three heads of both Volvoxes, they grunt loudly and their bodies opened, revealing the venomous critters and hidden artillery. Osiris, Anubis, and Hades cast their magic together and both Volvoxes scream as their ghost forms were destroyed. The world's natives watched worriedly while the gods of the afterlife and underworld to get everything under control, "I hope he doesn't come back." Twilight Sparkle said, "I wouldn't count on it, he might have another thing in mind, let's keep an eye out." Zeus replied, and everybody continues with their days. Two days pass and the humans continue recovering with the world's natives helping them, the humans lived in fear and paranoia of Volvox coming back. A big portal opens to the north and everybody sees Volvox walk out, everybody was shocked, "So this is the universe where I lost the battle against the people, it's time to take over in his place." Volvox said, everybody realized he was Volvox from an alternate universe, where he did win the battle against this world's people and creatures. Everybody goes over to help and Alternate Volvox shrinks to the size of an atom, he begins using hellfire to burn things at a microscopic level. Swamp Thing finds him and restrains him while the unicorns cast a spell to change him back to regular size. The Mane Six use the Rainbow Power again to destroy his heads, his body opens and Zeus and Thor use their lightnings on him, they hit his heart really hard and he exploded. Alternate Volvox became a ghost, "Oh no, not this time." Hades said as he, Osiris, and Anubis cast magic to destroy his soul, the world's natives were shocked at the fact he came back again, but they all continue with their days. Three weeks pass and the humans continue recovering with others helping them, they were sensing something off for a week now. Another portal open and Volvox comes out, shocking the world's natives, "You've got to be kidding me! This is getting ridiculous!" Rainbow Dash said, "Where is this one from?!" Princess Ember asked, the gods used their magic and discovered it was Volvox from the past, from the very beginning of Earth's creation, "I may have just been created, but I had dreams about me losing my fight here, I have to win, so I can keep my status as Earth's apex species." Past Volvox said to himself, he begins to change the environment around to make the same natural disasters from the first fight happen, he also tried to make creatures appear, but the world's natives and the Greek, Egyptian, and Norse gods cast magic together to destroy them. Everybody quickly powers up to destroy his heads, his body opened, nothing came out this time, and everybody works together to destroy his heart, Past Volvox screamed as he got killed. Past Volvox came back as a ghost and snickered, Hades, Osiris, and Anubis cast a spell together, Princess Luna joined in a fit of anger, "No more!" Princess Luna said angrily, she was tired of Volvox coming back, the four destroy his spirit form, "Noooooo!!" Past Volvox said as his ghost got destroyed. Princess Celestia sensed the other universes with her magic while the Count of Saint Germain traveled through time, he came back shortly afterwards, "I don't see Volvox anywhere in history now." the Count of Saint Germain said, "I just finished sensing the alternate universes, he's gone for good this time, he won't be hurting any of you ever again." Princess Celestia said, and they hug the humans. Stheno and Euryale carry Medusa's body to bury her, they did not help with their battles or the humans due to them being enemies with Poseidon and Athena, they left to bury their sister. The two Gorgons walk but were surprised when they saw the world's natives waiting, they noticed the humans turning into stone from looking at them, the unicorns use magic to undo it, and make them immune to their stone powers, "Who are you three?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I'm Stheno, this is my little sister, Euryale, and this dead one is our youngest sister, Medusa, we had to serve under Volvox, we had to dance to please him, our youngest sister was against it, and tried to quit, Volvox killed her as a result." Stheno replied while holding back her tears, "What are you three?" Shining Armor asked, "We're Gorgons." Euryale replied, "If you want, I can take care of your pet snakes." Fluttershy said, "It's fine, thank you, we have to get going, we're in a hurry." Stheno said, and the two Gorgons walk away, they bury Medusa to the east of Volvox's kingdom. A week passes and the world's natives ask about the kingdom while they helped the gods nurse them back to health, and helped them rebuild their society, they all learn about Tom, the human who tried to stand up against Volvox and got killed. The Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, princesses, Starlight Glimmer, Spike, and Young Six walk together when they see a human at Volvox's kingdom, they saw him put up a gravestone and then put a picture on it, they all look and saw the picture of a man, they see Tom's name at the top of the picture, "Happy birthday, my son, if only you were around now, Volvox's rule is over, I hope my voice reaches you as I sing your favorite song." the man said, everybody realized he was Tom's father, he began to sing, "Leaves from the vine, Falling so slow. Like fragile, tiny shells, Drifting in the foam. Little soldier boy, Come marching home. Brave soldier boy, Comes marching home." The world's natives who watched him and heard him were crying, he had tears in his eyes as well. They go to him to comfort him, Tom's father was looked at them and let them stay with him, he goes home when the sun began to set. The humans continue rebuilding and lived peacefully, the humans who lost their loved ones to Volvox still grieved, the ponies did their best to comfort them. Princess Luna took care of the human children, she comforted them and played with them, she also visited their nightmares first to get rid of their dreams of Volvox, while there, she met a yokai called a Baku, it ate their nightmares. The humans grew and expanded and lived together peacefully with the natives of the world. Benevolent RulerVolvox lived in a society were everything was orderly, every human was divided by race, gender, age, and social class, the race section was divided into white, black, brown, red, and yellow, the gender section was divided into male and female, age was divided into kid, teenager, adult, middle-aged, and elderly, and social class was divided into upper-class, middle-class, and lower-class, each person lived in an area of the world where every other person living with them was the same race, gender, age, and social class as them. People who were physically and mentally disabled were outcasts of society, Volvox was an outcast as well due to him being a one of a kind species, he formed his own kingdom so the disabled people could live in peace. Volvox's kingdom was still in the early stages, he only had white, elderly, middle-class males in his kingdom, he wanted every disabled person of every race, gender, age, and social class in his kingdom, he had four different sections of disabled. The first one was for the deaf people, those who could not hear, the second section was for the blind people, those who could not see, the third section was for the mute people, those who could not speak, and the fourth section was for the paralyzed, those who could not walk, and had to use either wheelchairs or clutches. Volvox was working on creating a fifth section for those with mental disorders, since they were outcasts as well. Volvox was not alone in his quest, his best friend, Dommiel, a demon, has also agreed to help him, even though he was not disabled, himself, he was a sympathizer for the disabled, he watched the disabled people for Volvox since he was too busy trying to get every disabled person into his kingdom. The second person who agreed to help was a human with no disabilities, his name was Jesus, he took care of the disabled humans, and fed them, he willingly volunteered to help, the disabled people liked the three. The disabled people kept coming in and it was becoming too much for Dommiel and Jesus, Volvox took notice of this, and tried to hire anyone who wanted to help them, he did not expect much luck. Only one person volunteered, but Volvox did not want to hire him, "What? Of all people, you're going to hire Narcissus?" Dommiel asked, "I know, but he's the only one available, I don't want to hire him, either." Volvox replied, "We don't have a choice, Dommiel, Narcissus is the only one who wants to help." Jesus said, "Fine, but I'm keeping an eye on him, I don't trust that guy." Dommiel replied, "None of us do." Volvox said, "Well, let's go ahead and call him." Jesus replied, and Volvox contacted him telepathically. Narcissus arrives at the kingdom of the disabled, the deaf, mute, and disabled people looked at him with disdain, Narcissus had an inverted triangular face shape, pale skin, wavy blonde hair that went down to his lower back, deep set turquoise eyes, and he was wearing a white-tie attire with a tailcoat, he did not wear a hat or monocle, he was wearing white gloves with his outfit, he had a mesomorph body shape, and was muscular. Narcissus walks into the palace and saw Volvox, Dommiel, and Jesus waiting for him, "I am here to help, I hope to do a good job." Narcissus said, he had an accent that sounded like a British accent and an Italian accent mixed together, "Alright then, Narcissus, this is very tough to do, so don't take this as a game, due to Dommiel and I having to help Volvox make money to build this area more, we have no choice but to leave you in charge." Jesus replied, "Do not worry, as a senator and an aristocrat, I have a lot of experience dealing with all kinds of people." Narcissus said, "Okay, but remember, you will be watched, so you can't do what you want." Dommiel replied, "I can promise you all you will get nothing but perfection." Narcissus said, "We don't need perfection, we just need you to make sure the disabled are well fed and treated well." Volvox replied, he was already starting to dislike Narcissus, "So, what else do I have to do?" Narcissus asked, "Unfortunately, since Dommiel and I won't be available due to us needing to help Volvox, you'll have to be in charge of their food, their water, their heating systems, and their cooling systems, be very careful, they all have enhanced senses." Dommiel replied, "Very well, I am ready to work, show me around." Narcissus said, and Jesus leads the way. Twilight Sparkle was trying to cast a spell she has found in her spellbook, it allowed her to teleport places to her, "Okay, let's try it out, here goes nothing." Twilight Sparkle said, Spike was nervous, Twilight Sparkle casts the spell and it makes something appear to the northeast of Canterlot, and southeast of the Crystal Empire, Volvox's kingdom was transferred into their world. Everybody walks, flies, swims, and teleports to Volvox's kingdom to see it, they all saw the blind, deaf, mute, and physically disabled men in his kingdom, the world's natives were very surprised. They hear walking and see Jesus and Narcissus, "The disabled people are here, the blind are over there, those are the deaf, the mute are there, and the physically disabled are over there." Jesus said as he pointed his right hand to them, Narcissus walked forward, "Good morning." Narcissus said, the blind men looked at him, the mute men went over to the deaf men and tapped them, they pointed to Narcissus, "My name is Narcissus, I was hired today to be your new director, since Volvox, Dommiel, and Jesus have to raise more money to complete this kingdom, and are short on staff, I have been hired to control things, I will be in charge of the food, water, heating, and cooling systems. I am descended from British, French, and Italian aristocracy, I hope we get along, and work together." Narcissus said, the men living in Volvox's kingdom were not pleased. Jesus looks around and sees the world's natives still looking at them, "Volvox, Dommiel, you two might want to see this." Jesus said, and the two head out, Dommiel comes first and the world's natives were surprised to see he was wearing armor that covered his entire body. The ground shook as Volvox walked, he stands up straight and the world's natives were very shocked to see he looked like a giant Cerberus, he sees the world's natives looking at his kingdom, "What do we do?" Dommiel asked, "Ignore them, we have disabled people to take care of." Volvox replied, his voice was loud and booming, but was not as loud as the Royal Canterlot Voice, "But we're not in our world, there's nothing you can do." Narcissus said, "Remember, we have long-distance communication, I should be able to reach our world." Volvox replied, "And what if that doesn't work?" Narcissus asked, "We can try with our magic as well." Dommiel replied, "Oh." Narcissus said, "Come on, Dommiel, we've got paperwork to fill out." Volvox said, and he and Dommiel left, "Well, Narcissus, your office is right behind you, if any of the disabled have any complaints, you have to listen to them." Jesus said, "Understood." Narcissus replied, and he entered his office, Jesus was very suspicious of him. The Mane Six trot into the kingdom to go see who they were, "Uh, excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, Jesus looked at them, "What is this place?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "This is a sanctuary for the disabled." Jesus replied, "The disabled? What happened?" Applejack asked, "Where we come from, everything is orderly, everybody is divided by race, gender, age, and social class, while those who are blind, deaf, mute, physically disabled, and those who have mental disorders are forced out, they are outcasts of society." Jesus replied, shocking the Mane Six, "Outcasts? They're not allowed in their homes?" Rarity asked, "Worse, they can't go home, and they're the most common victims of crime, disabled people die every day in our world." Jesus replied, the Mane Six were very shocked, "How do they become disabled?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Three ways: either, they're born that way, they lost their senses or limbs from illness, or someone made them like that, usually from a physical attack." Jesus replied, "Are those who are disabled from getting attacked outcasts, too?" Fluttershy asked, "Unfortunately, yes, and due to them being outcasts, it is illegal by law for them to get medical treatment." Jesus replied, "What?!" Pinkie Pie asked with shock while the other five had their jaws dropped, "That ain't right! They got injured!" Applejack said, "That doesn't matter to the government of our world, they're also not allowed in schools, so no education, they also can't get jobs, even though they still have to pay taxes to the government, they're not allowed to live in houses, either, and worst of all, if a disabled person is a victim of crime, the law enforcement will not bother to investigate, and they can't go to a trial, either, because one of the laws is that the disabled person will be sentenced to death, no matter what, while the culprit will get away with no punishment if they are not disabled." Jesus replied, "What?! That's not fair!" Twilight Sparkle said, "I'm sorry, but that's how it is, Volvox, Dommiel, and I have been working to make this kingdom a safe place for them." Jesus replied, "Are you guys done developing?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Not even close, we just started." Jesus replied, "Well, we'll be around, good luck developing." Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright, thanks." Jesus replied, and the Mane Six leave, Jesus watches the disabled white, elderly, middle-class men in the kingdom. Volvox and Dommiel were filling out paperwork, they were coming up with lies and made-up stories so the government would fund them. Dommiel was trying to use their technology to contact their world, he got contact, "Good news, Volvox, we can contact our world, those transferring devices for objects work, but we can't send ourselves back." Dommiel said, "Good, that means I can send my paperwork to them to earn money, we needs billions of dollars to build the section for the mentally disabled." Volvox replied, "What do you plan to do after that?" Dommiel asked, "I would like to have females here, too, and then the kids, teenagers, and middle-aged, and everyone of every race, they all deserve sanctuary." Volvox replied, "Agreed, I hope we can get all of them in here, I'm especially worried about Tom." Dommiel said, "Me too, I hope Narcissus doesn't do anything to him." Volvox replied, Tom was the most disabled person in the kingdom, while he was the only man in the kingdom who was not old, he lost his arms and legs in a war, he got kidnapped and was tortured, his lost his eyes, ears, and tongue as a result, his vocal chords were also damaged. Dommiel used his magic to make a wheelchair for Tom that he can control with his mind, he also had PTSD from the war, Volvox took him in when he found him, "I still remember why you took in the white, elderly, middle-class men." Dommiel said, "It was because they were the closest people to my kingdom when I made it, had to start somewhere." Volvox replied, "True, back to work." Dommiel said, and he starts writing lies to send to the government so they can give them money to fund what was written on the papers. Princess Celestia was looking at Volvox's kingdom and smiling, she liked what she was seeing. Twilight Sparkle walked to Princess Celestia to speak to her, "Princess Celestia, that kingdom is a good place." Twilight Sparkle said, "I heard what they said, what they're doing is wonderful, they were kind and generous enough to open up their hearts to take care of those disabled people." Princess Celestia replied, "Well, actually, I was hoping I could send my students there so they can help them." Twilight Sparkle said, "That's a wonderful idea, Twilight, friendship is especially important for disabled people like them, it lets them know that there are others who have sympathy for them and wish to help, it shows that even though we don't have disabilities like them, we still care." Princess Celestia replied, "So, can I, Princess Celestia?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "You'll have to speak to them first, Twilight, if they do say yes, I'll offer my help as well." Princess Celestia replied, Twilight Sparkle smiled, "Well, I'll try tomorrow, it is getting close to bedtime." Twilight Sparkle said, and she teleported back home while Princess Celestia went back into her palace. Jesus shows Narcissus around and showed where the disabled use the bathroom, take baths and showers, where the air conditioner and heater systems were at, the water heater, and his office which will double as his living quarters, "This is kind of unsanitary compared to what I'm used to." Narcissus said, "Well, get used to it, you can change it around if you wish, and lucky for you, our transferring technology works, so you can make yourself feel at home with the one near your desk." Jesus replied, "I will, I'm already thinking about making a few changes." Narcissus said, and Jesus left. Night time comes and there was a blizzard since it was winter, the disabled people were shivering in their beds, Narcissus has turned their heaters off. Jesus ran around to check them, "Christopher, Peter, Vincent, we need more blankets, inform John as well." Jesus said, the four were the oldest of their respective groups, and their leaders, John was deaf, Peter was blind, Christopher was mute, and Vincent was in a wheelchair. John, Christopher, Peter, and Vincent open the cabinets and John, Christopher, and Vincent looked on with shock, "What's the matter?" Peter asked, "All of the blankets are gone." Vincent replied, "What?" Jesus asked, and he ran to them, he saw the blankets were gone, he ran outside. Narcissus was in his office with a strong heater on, and blankets spread out everywhere, he also had on warm and comfortable long johns. Jesus knocked on the door several times, "Yes?" Narcissus asked, and Jesus came in, "Where are the blankets?" Jesus asked, "I sold them." Narcissus replied, "What?!" Jesus asked, "As an aristocrat, I have to do my utmost best to keep my physical appearance perfect, I have sold the blankets for some skincare products, bath salts, and cosmetics." Narcissus replied, Jesus was already angry. Dommiel ran into the room shortly afterwards, "Why are the heaters off, Narcissus?!" Dommiel asked angrily, "I need the heaters, I do not wish to have frostbite on my beautiful skin." Narcissus replied, "THERE ARE PEOPLE FREEZING, NARCISSUS!!" Dommiel yelled angrily, "So?" Narcissus asked, "YOU'LL KILL SOMEONE!!" Dommiel yelled angrily, "If someone is to die while I achieve my mission to be the most beautiful aristocrat in the world, then their sacrifice will not be in vain." Narcissus replied, Dommiel and Jesus were very angry at the moment, they just left while Dommiel slammed the door. Volvox shrunk himself to the size of the humans and entered their sleeping quarters, he used his hellfire powers to heat up the room, he hears teleporting and saw Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack appear. The six had blankets with them and they run around to cover the disabled people while begging for them to wait and that they were coming, they cover everyone and went to Volvox, "Is that everybody?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, thank you." Volvox replied, "How could he? There's a blizzard going on right now." Pinkie Pie said, "Yeah, these people are freezin'." Applejack said, "I didn't want to hire him, either, I only did so because he was the only one available." Volvox replied, Dommiel and Jesus ran back into the room, "Volvox, that Narcissus has locked the room to the heating systems." Dommiel said, "What?" Volvox asked, "There's a lock on the door, we think he barricaded it from the inside, too." Jesus replied, and Volvox ran out while the Mane Six went to go see Narcissus. Narcissus was warm and comfortable in his office, knocking was heard on his door, "Enter." Narcissus said, and the Mane Six enter, he looks at them, "What do you six want?" Narcissus asked, "We want heating and blankets." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I sold them to buy me some skincare products." Narcissus said, "Skincare?! There are people freezin' out there!" Applejack said, "Well, tell them to wait until I'm done with the heater." Narcissus replied, "Until you're done?! You're not the only one living here!" Rainbow Dash said angrily, "As an aristocrat, it is essential that I receive the best quality, such classes lower than me are not deserving of such quality." Narcissus said, "What do you mean they don't deserve it?! I'm upper-class just like you! And I let the lower classes have the things I use." Rarity replied, "Then you are not a true aristocrat, a true aristocrat only shares with other aristocrats." Narcissus said, "Do you share your things with animals?" Fluttershy asked, "Only animals who are pets of aristocrats, those other savage beasts better not dare to touch me, it will ruin my perfect skin and clothes." Narcissus replied, "What about parties? Are those aristocrats only?" Pinkie Pie asked, "They are the only ones who are deserving of such things." Narcissus replied, "What about birthday parties?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Middle-class scum like them don't deserve that luxury." Narcissus replied, shocking the Mane Six, "What about the heater, are ya done with it yet?" Applejack asked, "No, I am not." Narcissus replied, the Mane Six were angry, but it was late, so they left while Rainbow Dash slammed the door. Volvox, Dommiel, and Jesus go to the door that controlled the heating and cooling systems of the kingdom, Volvox ripped the lock off with his front left foot, he tried to open it but saw it was barricaded on the inside, so he used his telekinesis to take out the things. The three open it and look at the controls, they saw Narcissus has switched the heater so it will only be on in his office, "That scumbag is hogging all the heat." Dommiel said, "Well, time to change it back." Volvox replied, and he does, the disabled people became happy, "I'm tired, we should call it a day." Jesus said, the other two agreed and headed to their quarters, they stayed there and heard the Mane Six leaving after a few minutes, everybody except for Volvox and Dommiel sleep for the rest of the night due to the two not needing sleep to survive. The next day comes and Volvox and Dommiel were already working, they were making up stories so the government would fund them, and sending them to their world with the transferring devices. They hear knocking on the door, "Enter." Volvox said, and the Mane Six entered, "Oh, it's you six, what brings you all here?" Volvox asked, "Since you're busy trying to help disabled people, we thought we could help." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Of course, we are short on staff." Volvox said, the Mane Six smiled, "We were wonderin' why there weren't anyone watchin' over 'em." Applejack said, "Jesus usually takes care of them, Volvox and I are busy raising money to build the area." Dommiel replied, "For what, exactly?" Rarity asked, "To build another section for those with mental disorders." Volvox replied, "Will you be done after that?" Fluttershy asked, "No, far from it, after that, I have to get females in here." Volvox replied, "Wait, you don't have any girls in here?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Not yet." Volvox replied, "We're still in the developing stages, after that, we have to get kids, teenagers, and middle-aged people in here, and then people of every race, and the upper-class and lower-class people, then we'll be done, we have to find others who wish to help, but so far, no one does." Dommiel said, "We'd be glad to help, there are a lot of people for y'all to take care of already." Applejack replied, "True, thanks for volunteering." Volvox said, "You're welcome, we'll be back, we've got classes to teach." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Alright, we'll see you six later." Dommiel said, and the Mane Six left while smiling. The disabled men were about to take showers while Jesus guided Tom, he had every men divided into groups of four, one deaf person, one blind person, one mute person, and one physically disabled person, they helped lead one another. Jesus sees everybody were in the showers and he turned them on, the showers turn on, but the disabled people exclaim in shock, "What's the matter?" Jesus asked, "The showers are ice cold." Peter replied, Jesus was shocked and he checked the water, he felt it with his right hand and realized it was, "Hold on, I'll be back, everybody." Jesus said, and he ran to where the water heater was at, it was gone, Jesus became angry and ran to Narcissus' office. Narcissus had a wooden bucket filled with warm water and bath salts, he was basically giving himself a spa treatment, Jesus knocked on the door, "Come in." Narcissus said, and Jesus walked in, he saw Narcissus in the bath, "Where is the water heater?" Jesus asked, "I took it out." Narcissus replied, "Why?" Jesus asked, "Well, since using the water heater costs money, I thought if I get rid of it, we could save money and Volvox and Dommiel could build the next section earlier." Narcissus replied, Jesus can clearly tell from his facial expressions, eye movement, tone of voice, and sweat that he was lying, "What other reasons were there to getting rid of the water heater?" Jesus asked, "Well, I needed money to get myself a spa, so I had to sell it in order to get it." Narcissus replied, Jesus glared at him and left while Narcissus looked at the bathwater and admired his own reflection. He went back to the shower room and saw Volvox and Dommiel already found out, and Volvox used his hellfire powers to warm up the disabled, Jesus just tried to go on with their schedules. Jesus makes breakfast for the disabled men and he realized Narcissus has cut their rations and silverware, their plates were gone as well, all there was to eat was canned broccoli soup, it stank, but Jesus served it. John, Christopher, Peter, and Vincent were sitting together and trying it, "Fecal matter." John said, "Disgusting slop." Peter said, "It tastes sour as well." Vincent said, Christopher shook his head with disapproval, the bowls they were served in were only eight centimeters in diameter, and five centimeters deep. Tom was being fed by a mute man and he controlled his wheelchair with his mind to go see Jesus, a man on clutches went with him to speak for him, "I'm sorry, guys, but there's no more." Jesus said, "No second helping?" the man on clutches asked, "Rations were cut, apparently, I don't know what Narcissus did, but I'll make sure to report this to Volvox." Jesus replied, John, Christopher, Peter, and Vincent glared at them, John was able to find out what was going on by just watching them. Peter stood up and headed to Narcissus' office, "What are you doing in here?" Narcissus asked, "The rations, we need more." Peter replied, "I don't answer to the likes of you, get out, you deformed buffoon." Narcissus said, Peter glared and left, he slammed the door. Peter walks back and a blind man starts coughing, he fell out of the seat, the others look at him with concern while Jesus ran to check on him, "The food, it doesn't make me feel good." the man said, Jesus looks at it with suspicion, he puts a piece of the broccoli soup on his right index finger and puts it in his mouth to taste it, he became shocked, "Everybody! Spit it out! The food is rotten!" Jesus said, the world's natives overhear him and look at the kingdom with shock. Dommiel ran to Narcissus' office and kicked the door open with his left foot, "It is customary to knock. What do you want? Can't you see I'm having my breakfast?" Narcissus asked, "You eat steak... and salad... and drink wine? While the others get food you can find in the trash?" Dommiel asked, "As an upper-class person, I have to have the best quality cuisine our world has to offer." Narcissus replied, "What about the rest of the rations? Where are they?" Dommiel asked, "I cut them for budget reasons, I had to sell them to get my meals, I am required to have a strict diet in order to stay in peak physical condition." Narcissus replied, Dommiel knew he was lying since he was the one who handled the kingdom's budget, he also saw more food and drinks behind Narcissus, "What about those food and drinks behind you?" Dommiel asked, "Those are my brunch, lunch, tea, dinner, and dessert." Narcissus replied, "The disabled people only have one meal a day? While you have six?" Dommiel asked, "It is a custom of my culture." Narcissus replied, "This isn't an aristocratic society, Narcissus!" Dommiel said angrily, "Dommiel, even if a society is ruled by a lower-class or middle-class person, the upper-class are the ones who have the power." Narcissus replied, Dommiel slammed his left fist on Narcissus' desk, which scared him, "That is not how things work in this kingdom. In this kingdom, you have to eat and drink the same things you serve to the disabled, so, unless you're allergic to it, you have to eat that broccoli soup as well." Dommiel said, the two hear walking and Dommiel looked back, he saw Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, Queen Novo, and Princess Skystar come in, "We are the rulers of this world's countries, Narcissus, we need to talk." Princess Celestia said, "You all should address your concerns to Volvox." Dommiel replied, "We don't have anything to say to him, we wish to speak with Narcissus." Queen Novo said, "In private?" Dommiel asked, "No, you can stay." Shining Armor replied, "I'll be outside helping the others." Dommiel said, and he left. The rulers of the countries all look at Narcissus, "We have been keeping track of what you've been doing, Narcissus, your ways of doing things are unacceptable." Princess Skystar said, "You must understand, as an aristocrat, I have many expectations from society to fulfill." Narcissus replied, "That's baloney, your world's people are not here." Princess Ember said, "Care to explain why you have sold the things they need?" Princess Celestia asked, "I had to make sacrifices in order to work, there are some conditions I cannot work in." Narcissus replied, "What kind of conditions do you need in order to work?" Princess Cadence asked, "Only the best conditions, it is the only thing that fits a high-class and fancy aristocrat like myself." Narcissus replied, "Is your appearance the only thing you care about?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "Of course not, aristocrats also have to be brave and skilled fighters, I have to stay in shape as well." Narcissus replied, "Yak care for family, does rich man also care for family?" Prince Rutherford asked, "It depends, if they live up to their parents' legacy, yes, if not, no." Narcissus replied, the rulers were shocked, "What about them? Don't you care about them?" Princess Luna asked, "I am just here to do my job properly, I do not wish to waste my time with such lower social class filth." Narcissus replied, the rulers were shocked again, "What about children from the lower-class and middle-class?" King Thorax asked, "They are a plague that need to be rid of, such scum should not exist." Narcissus replied, Princess Luna was losing her temper, "They are still people! And care not about the children?!" Princess Luna asked angrily, "I am not going to touch those filthy snobs with my squeaky clean hands, I have to keep my physical appearance perfect." Narcissus replied, Princess Luna was angry, she used her telekinesis on his wine bottle and broke it, "Come on, sister, let's just go." Princess Celestia said, and the rulers leave his office, Narcissus gets a towel and wipes the wine. Twilight Sparkle brought her students from her school into the kingdom to help the disabled people, Cheerilee brought her class over as well, the world's natives have gone over to help Jesus with his daily activities, they brought food and drinks from their countries over, "Free and freshly baked apple treats over here, y'all." Applejack said, "Who wants a cupcake? Free cupcakes over here." Pinkie Pie said, "I've got muffins over here." Derpy said, the disabled people move around to try them, "Who wants gems?" Spike asked, Vincent goes over to him, "We can't digest gems." Vincent said, "Oh." Spike said, and he ate them on his own. Jesus looked around and saw the world's natives were also helping the blind move around by guiding them, the disabled elderly men were all starting to like them. The rulers of the countries see their citizens helping out the disabled by feeding them and guiding them, they went over to help as well. Everybody hears a wheelchair moving and they all see Tom, the world's natives were shocked by what they saw, "What happened to him?" Sweetie Belle asked, "He got captured while fighting in a war and was tortured, he lost his eyes, ears, tongue, and limbs from the torture." Peter replied, the world's natives were shocked, "How does he move around?" Scootaloo asked, "That wheelchair is powered by his mind, created by Dommiel." Vincent replied, "Yes, it's a shame he lost his senses at such a young age." Peter said, "Young age?" Apple Bloom asked, "Yes, he's still in his early twenties, the rest of us are in our seventies and eighties." a blind man replied, the world's natives were sad, "How do you guys treat him?" Sandbar asked, "Tom's always first, he has the most disabilities out of all of us, we make sure he gets what he wants and needs." Jesus replied, "Was he the first patient to come?" Gallus asked, "No, he's the most recent, Volvox and Dommiel found him in the streets, so they took him in." Jesus replied, "What was he doing there?" Ocellus asked, "Left there to die by the others, it happens to every disabled person." Peter replied, the world's natives were shocked, "But... what about his family?" Silverstream asked, "Those who are disabled get disowned by them." Vincent replied, shocking the world's natives, "What? I would never do that, I would always be by my sister's side if she was disabled." Terramar said, "Unfortunately, that is not how things work in our world." Peter replied, "But what if they're disabled from injury?" Smolder asked, "They are still shunned by society." Jesus replied, "Yona want to know who runs government." Yona said, "The government is ran by hundreds of people on our world." Jesus replied, "Well, who's the head of the government?" Princess Celestia asked, "There are many heads of the government." Jesus replied, "Is there one that rules over all of them?" Princess Luna asked, "No." Jesus replied, another cart comes in with Big Macintosh pulling it, Sugar Belle was on it, "Sorry we're late, we have more treats, everybody." Sugar Belle said, and everybody lets Tom go first, "What would you like, Tom?" Sugar Belle asked, Tom sees with his mind and tries to use telekinesis on the pie he wanted, Sugar Belle gives it to him, Tom smiled and went to the disabled people, they helped feed him. The disabled men get food from Sugar Belle, a blind man walked over to get another one, "I'm sorry, but we're sold out for today." Sugar Belle said, "What kind of fruits are you using for your treats?" the blind man asked, "Many different types, I get them from the store." Sugar Belle replied, "Oh, you buy them? I thought you grew them on your own." the blind man said, "Usually, Ah'm the one who does the growin' with mah family, we're farmers." Big Macintosh replied, "I used to work as a farmer when I was a kid." the blind man said, the Apple family smiled. Granny Smith walked forward, "Do y'all have room for one more?" Granny Smith asked, "We're planning to have women in here eventually, Volvox needs the money to build the area for the mentally ill first, though." Vincent replied, "There's something I don't understand." Sandbar said, "What is it?" Jesus asked, "If you all are divided by race, gender, age, and social class, then how do you all have children?" Sandbar asked, "The males and females come together twice a month, during that time, they need to find a lover, if they do, they will be put into a special area where they can work together to have and raise the child, but they have to be the same race, age group, and social class of each other." Jesus replied, the world's natives were shocked by how orderly they were, "Where's Mr. and Mrs. Cake?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Sorry, they had to watch over their kids, and they have a super duper big order to fill out, they couldn't make it." Pinkie Pie replied, "Is everyone well fed?" Princess Celestia asked, "Yes." the blind and physically disabled people replied, the mute people nodded while smiling, they tap the deaf people and write on paper what Princess Celestia asked, "Yes." the deaf people said, "That's wonderful, but we have to go now, goodbye, everyone." Princess Celestia said, "Goodbye." the blind and physically disabled people said, the deaf and mute people waved bye at them as the world's natives left, everybody continues with their days. Volvox put his three heads into the floor of his throne room and appeared in Narcissus' office to watch him, he was having brunch, Narcissus was eating fruits, vegetables, and scones, he was drinking tea with it. Volvox was not happy with what he was seeing, he looks and sees Narcissus also had weight lifting equipment in his office, he did not have it since the disabled could not use them. He saw Narcissus take off his black tailcoat, white waistcoat, and white long-sleeve dress shirt, he was muscular, his muscles were not too big, but he was very toned. Narcissus goes to the newly added black pull-up bar and begins exercising, Volvox decided to back to making money with fake stories and continued working. Volvox writes fake stories and sends them with a transferring device to his world's government, they in turn would use their transferring devices to give him money, he needed twenty five billion dollars, after he finished that, he needed to find a way home, since the government does not accept cards or digital pay, it had to be cash and paid in person, they also had people and machines to check for counterfeit money. Volvox would take care of the disabled on his own, but he had to build his kingdom first, so he had Dommiel act as his eyes and ears when he was busy, while Jesus only cooked and fed them, made sure they were comfortable, and acted as a doctor, he had no knowledge or role in the business parts. Volvox sighs as he continues making up stories under several different names so the government would give him money if they liked the story to let that nonexistent person know they have their support. Jesus and Dommiel were outside and watching the disabled men as they played games, some played board games, some played ball, and some played cards. Dommiel wished they could have weight lifting equipment, but he knew that was very risky, he was especially worried about a blind man hurting himself with a barbell, the thought made him extremely uncomfortable. Play time ends and the men go to the tables outside to have lunch, "I'm sorry, guys, remember, that broccoli soup for breakfast was all there was." Jesus said, Dommiel walked to Narcissus' office and knocked on the door three times with his left fist, "Na-arse-cissus." Dommiel said, Narcissus put his upper clothes back on and sat in his chair, "Enter." Narcissus said, and Dommiel came in, he left the door open so the others could hear him, "Where did you sell the original food?" Dommiel asked, "To a hungry aristocratic family, they gave me the canned broccoli soup in return." Narcissus replied, "What about the drinks? I don't see any, not even water." Dommiel said, "I had to sell those away, too, I needed to sell them to buy me some workout equipment." Narcissus replied, Jesus and the disabled people look at Narcissus' office with disgust, the deaf people instantly knew something was wrong, "What about the water heater, what did you do with that?" Dommiel asked, "I sold that, too, I needed some way to pay for my hair care products." Narcissus replied, Dommiel was very angry, "What about the air conditioner, did you get rid of that, too?" Dommiel asked, "I had to sell it to buy myself a bathtub." Narcissus replied, "What happened to the water used for your bath?" Dommiel asked, "I sent it back to our world, I was merely borrowing it." Narcissus replied, "What else do you plan to get rid of?!" Dommiel asked angrily, "Those clothes the disabled wear after their showers, I'm going to need to sell them so I can buy a new transferring device that is gold and encrusted with diamonds, that filthy old one there will not do." Narcissus replied, Dommiel was full of rage, the blind, mute, and physically disabled people heard him, the blind and physically disabled were growling, Jesus and the mute men were angry as well, so was Volvox, who has been listening through the floor with his three heads, he had just enough restraint to prevent himself from killing Narcissus. Dommiel left and saw the world's natives coming over, they had more food and drinks with them, "Sorry we didn't come this morning, we had an order to fill out." Mr. Cake said, "We have freshly baked confectioneries here." Mrs. Cake said, and the disabled get their meals, they help guide one another. The disabled have lunch and Pinkie Pie was doing a show for them, it was a play about the three pony tribes united, Trixie was doing the special effects, the disabled clapped at what they saw and heard. Narcissus was not liking the play, and he found Pinkie Pie's and Trixie's voices to be very annoying. The play ends and it was almost evening, the disabled have dinner, while they were happy, the disabled were a bit disappointed the world's natives did not have meat, they finish dinner and they all went to bed. Another blizzard came at night and Jesus was going to use the blankets the Mane Six have left, but he saw they were gone, he realized Narcissus must have sold them. The disabled men begin shivering and breathing hard, they all go outside in hopes of getting warm, but they enter the blizzard. Flurry Heart was not tired yet and flying around, she saw Tom fall out of his wheelchair while on the way out, she became shocked and teleported to them, she tugged on John's right sleeve to get his attention, he looked at Flurry Heart and she pointed towards Tom. John became worried and ran to him, he realized Tom was not responding, "Everybody! Tom's not responding!" John said, the disabled people look at him and Jesus quickly ran to him to check his pulse, Dommiel and Volvox came out as well, Jesus shook his head when he looked at the others, shocking the others, Dommiel became enraged and ran to Narcissus' office, he banged on the door rapidly with his left fist, "OPEN UP, NARCISSUS!! COME OUT HERE THIS INSTANT!!" Dommiel yelled, Narcissus opened the door, "What is it?" Narcissus asked, Dommiel grabbed him and pulled him to Tom, "Check his pulse." Dommiel said, Narcissus checked his heart and wrist, "He's dead." Narcissus said, the world's natives hear him, they look at Volvox's kingdom with shock and horror, "Don't you know what you have done?!" Dommiel asked angrily, "I'm sure there's a reason." Narcissus replied, "Because of you cutting off the heating and rations, he died, you just indirectly killed one of them!" Dommiel said angrily, "Well, that's a shame, but my quest for a perfect physical appearance requires obtaining it by any means necessary, so this was a necessary sacrifice." Narcissus replied, "Necessary?! You're willing to kill other people just so you can look beautiful?!" Jesus asked angrily, "Stop your complaining, he was a commoner, there are many like him." Narcissus replied, "I've had enough of you, Narcissus, this is my kingdom, I decide on what it needs and what it doesn't." Volvox said, "You forget, Volvox, I'm a higher social class than you, it is illegal for you to fire me, boss or not." Narcissus replied, Volvox held him up with his telekinesis, Narcissus screamed as he was lifted, "No, but I can still kill you." Volvox said, Narcissus screamed in terror. The world's natives beg Volvox to wait and went to him, "Volvox, please, put him down, you will be worse than him if you take his life." Princess Celestia said, "How? He already killed one of my citizens, it'd be best if I get rid of him now." Volvox replied, "Volvox, please, forgive him." Princess Cadence said, "What? Forgive him? I say we take his life." Princess Ember replied, "Prince Rutherford agree." Prince Rutherford said, "So do I." Dragon Lord Torch said, "I do, too." Grampa Gruff replied, "Settle down, everybody, we always forgave one another, so why shouldn't we do it to him?" King Thorax asked, "Forgive him? Haven't you ever heard a life for a life?" Dommiel asked, "Wait, guys, don't do that, that'll only make things worse." Twilight Sparkle replied, Volvox was conflicted right now, "Wait, Volvox, let him go, I have an idea for his punishment tomorrow." Dommiel said, "What do you know about my doings to make this place better?" Narcissus asked, "You think I haven't been watching? I know everything you've done." Volvox replied, and he puts him down, Narcissus walked to the east, and then went back to his office with money in his hands, the world's natives leave, "Don't worry, our citizens, he won't be here again after tonight. Trust me." Dommiel said, the disabled people had hope and went back to their quarters, Volvox used his hellfire powers to warm them up, Volvox and Dommiel went back to their quarters. Volvox and Dommiel were ready to count their money, "What the?" Volvox asked, Dommiel saw the money they got was gone, Volvox burrowed his heads into the floor, he looks into Narcissus' office and saw him with the money, he was putting them on the transferring device, and typing where to send them, they got sent, the item he bought came onto the transferring device, it was a gold transferring device encrusted with white diamonds. Volvox was angry, he put his heads back on his body, "That's it, I'm killing him." Volvox said, "Wait, Volvox, let me do it, I want to make him suffer." Dommiel replied, "What? Why? It's a waste of time, why can't we just kill him now and be done with it?" Volvox asked, "That won't satisfy me, I've wanted to make him suffer for a long time." Dommiel replied, Volvox sighed, "Okay, but don't go overboard." Volvox said, and Dommiel used his powers to enter Narcissus' dream. Narcissus was dreaming peacefully, he was in a fancy house with aristocratic women around him, they disappear and Narcissus became shocked, "No! Where are you all going?" Narcissus asked, Dommiel decided to let someone enter his dream, Narcissus saw Trixie come in, "Oh, it's you." Narcissus said, "I demand answers for your behavior!" Trixie said, "The answer's no." Narcissus replied, "The Great and Powerful Trixie would like to know why you are willing to take the lives of others to further your own goals!" Trixie said, "Well, the Beautiful and Perfect Narcissus refuses to answer, filth like you are unworthy of being in my presence." Narcissus replied, Dommiel realized this was not going to work, so he took her out and put Rarity in his dream, "Now, this is someone worth speaking to." Narcissus said, "How could you? How could you sacrifice a life just so you can look pretty?" Rarity asked, "Don't you try hard to look pretty, too?" Narcissus asked, "Yes, but I don't risk or take other people's lives to achieve my beauty." Rarity replied, "Then you are not a true aristocrat." Narcissus said, Dommiel decided he has listened to Narcissus enough and changes his dream to a dark hallway. Narcissus was nervous about his dream, but he walked forward, ready to fight whatever was ahead. Narcissus walks forward and could not see anything, it was freezing cold, he was shivering, his teeth chattered as well. A blizzard appears in the dream and Narcissus' outfit disappeared, he screamed as he covered his groin, he walks forward and saw frostbites appearing on his arms and chest, Narcissus began panicking, "A mark on my beautiful and perfect body!" Narcissus said with fear, he ran forward and the blizzard stopped. Narcissus was in another dark area, his clothes reappeared on him, much to his relief, he walked forward and screamed in pain when he felt a cut on his right cheek, Narcissus panicked again, "A cut, on my face! A cut, on my beautiful face!" Narcissus said, Dommiel used his powers to light up the area, Narcissus was in a narrow hall with razor blades in the walls. Narcissus walks forward slowly while scared, he hears thunder and freezing rain began pouring down, "My suit! My million dollar suit!" Narcissus said with horror as his clothes got wet, Narcissus was very cold, he ran to get out as fast as possible, but every time he moved his arms while running, he cut his hands and arms, he screams from each cut, but he made it to the end. Narcissus was hyperventilating, "Please, no more." Narcissus said, he got up and walked forward, a bright white light appeared and Narcissus screamed, he looked away, "My eyes! I can't see!" Narcissus said, and he got back up and walked forward, he held his hands out, his right hand touches dots and felt a message in Braille, it felt like it said he had to eat and drink the stuff on the table in front of him, what Narcissus did not know was there was a bowl full of eyeballs on the table, and a glass filled with the rotten broccoli soup. Narcissus grabs an eyeball and chews it, he did not know what it was, he began gagging and spat it out, he grabbed the glass with the broccoli soup and drank it, he gagged again and spat it out, he coughed along the process, spilling the glass in the progress. Dommiel then decided to use his magic to affect him more, he made the wall in front of Narcissus disappear, it was pitch black again, but Narcissus walked forward. Narcissus wanders around blindly, he entered another pitch black room, Dommiel makes Narcissus hear the sound of gunshots and bombs, Narcissus covered his ears, Dommiel used his powers to make it so only Narcissus can hear it, he made aristocrats appear in the room with him, "Please! Make the noises stop!" Narcissus said, the aristocrats look at him, "The gunshots! The bombs! Make it stop!" Narcissus said, the other aristocrats looked at him like he was crazy, Narcissus screamed as he covered his ears, he screamed in agony and tried to cover his ears, it was not working, Dommiel makes a really loud exploding sound and makes Narcissus go deaf in his dream. Narcissus could not hear anything anymore, the floor under him opens and he falls into another pitch black area, he lands and both of his legs break, he screamed in agony when he was on the floor. Narcissus crawls forward blindly and could not hear a thing, Dommiel made sure his senses did not enhance in the dream. Narcissus keeps crawling and two smashers fall onto Narcissus' arms, breaking them, he screamed in agony, the smashers went up, "Please, I'm begging you! No more!" Narcissus said with tears in his eyes, but Dommiel did not listen, Narcissus was pushed forward with Dommiel's powers, he was scared. A choir was heard up ahead, but Narcissus could not hear it, so Dommiel made him hear it, Narcissus was happy, he tried to sing along, but could not, Narcissus realizes that he has gone mute, and Dommiel made him deaf again. The room changes around and Dommiel made Narcissus regain his sight, hearing, and voice, he sees the room was pitch black, it lit up and Narcissus saw Tom, but he had his arms and legs, he was not deaf, blind, or mute, either, "Tom?" Narcissus asked, Tom walked forward to him, "Wait, Tom, please, don't hurt me, I still have my whole life ahead of me." Narcissus said, Tom did not respond, he walked over to Narcissus, who's arms and legs were still broken, and thus, could not move. Tom walked forward to Narcissus and began punching him, Narcissus screamed in pain as Tom beat him up, Narcissus screamed and screamed as Tom punched and kicked him, he began bleeding, Tom proceeded to stomp on his back, Narcissus screamed in pain as he heard his own bones break. Tom proceeded to bash the back of his head several times with his fists, Narcissus screamed in pain, Narcissus was in shock in real life, he goes into cardiac arrest, he struggles to breathe while he holds onto his own heart with his right hand, he groans and soon dies of a heart attack in real life. Morning comes and everybody gives Tom a funeral, the world's natives attended as well, "What was all of that screaming last night?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "You guys didn't hear? Narcissus died last night, he had a bad dream, gave him a heart attack." Peter replied, "Whoa, that must've been one scary dream, then." Applejack said, "I don't know why, but I feel like someone changed my dream last night." Rarity replied, "Trixie felt the same thing." Trixie said, "Well, it wasn't me, as for Narcissus, the dream realm I control doesn't cover any other country except Equestria." Princess Luna replied, "We'll have to do Narcissus' funeral later." Jesus said, the disabled men groaned with disappointment, "Hey, you all still should pay your respects." Pinkie Pie said, "For what? He made the kingdom worse." a man with clutches replied, "That reminds me, where's Volvox and Dommiel?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "They're too busy at the time, they won't make it to the funeral." Jesus replied, "Too busy? What happened?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "They discovered last night that the money those two were getting so they can build this kingdom was stolen and spent by Narcissus." Jesus replied, the world's natives gasp, "He was also a thief?" Terramar asked, "Apparently, yes." Jesus replied, "So, what are you guys going to do now?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "We're going to try to get the things back, and we'll need to hire someone else, we're still short on staff." Jesus replied, "We'd be glad to lend our help, you kind people opened up your hearts to help those who are disadvantaged, they have to know that there are others out there who do care about them." Princess Celestia replied, the blind, mute, and physically disabled people smiled, "Well, let's go ahead and pay our respects now." Jesus said, and they all do. Volvox and Dommiel were busy getting money from the government again, they also took back the money Narcissus did not spend, "What do we do now?" Dommiel asked, "We get back what Narcissus sold, we do that before we try to hire anymore staff." Volvox replied, Dommiel agreed. Dommiel was happy Narcissus was dead, but while most people had limits on how much they made people suffer, Dommiel was not like that, he wanted to make Narcissus suffer more, because for him, it is never enough, but he decided to go on and help Volvox make more money. Volvox keeps making up stories and wrote to the government that he wanted money to pay to Narcissus' family, he got a note back saying Narcissus did not have any family left, as they all died several years ago from illness. Volvox was suspicious, because there was a list of Narcissus' family members on the paper as well, the date and time of their deaths were all the same, he wonders if something happened to them. Several days pass and the world's natives help Jesus take care of the disabled, Volvox and Dommiel make enough money to build the section for those with mental disorders. Dommiel goes to the world's natives on Volovx's behalf, "Guys, we have to return to our world now." Dommiel said, "Oh, I made a spell while I was at home, hold on, here we go." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the world's natives leave the kingdom, she casts the spell while the people in Volvox's kingdom and the world's natives say bye to one another, the spell works and they are returned home. Twilight Sparkle was inspired by Volvox's decision to help the disabled, she went to Princess Celestia, "Princess Celestia, Volvox gave me an idea, if possible, I want to make an area to take care of the disabled, too." Twilight Sparkle said, "That's a great idea, Twilight, people like them try very hard to help others, we should do the same." Princess Celestia replied, "But making that is going to cost a lot of money." Sunburst said, "No worries, Sunburst, I can handle the pay on my own, we'll get it built as soon as possible." Princess Celestia replied, "It's going to take a long time to build, too." Twilight Sparkle said, "If we all work together, then it shouldn't take long, let's get started tomorrow." Princess Celestia replied, and they all do. Everybody builds an area to take care of the disabled people in their world as well, everycreature was welcomed, including animals, they all start taking care of them. Several months pass and Twilight Sparkle was trying to cast another spell, but she messes up and makes Volvox's kingdom come back, everybody was happy to see them again, they look and were surprised by what they saw. Volvox had a section built to treat those with mental disorders, he now had people that were black, brown, yellow, and red in the kingdom as well, there was also females, and children, teenagers, and middle-aged people, he also had the upper-class and lower-class in the kingdom as well, Volvox had another section built to treat disabled animals as well. The staff was very big, there was much more people helping, and Jesus was still there, "Volvox, Dommiel, we're back at that place again." Jesus said, Dommiel and Volvox walk out to see the others again, "Welcome back, y'all." Applejack said, and they see the world's natives go to them, "Hi there, good to see you all again." Vincent said, "I remember that voice, how have you all been?" Peter asked, "Great, what about you?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Well, it took a while, but we finally got everything built, and a lot of people to help, the kingdom's complete." Volvox replied, "That's wonderful, we decided to start doing the same thing." Twilight Sparkle said, everybody there smiled except for the deaf people, "Do you all need our help again?" Fluttershy asked, "We do have a lot of staff now, but more help would be nice." Dommiel replied, "Let's go then." Twilight Sparkle said, and the world's natives went to go help. Granny Smith walked over to the physically disabled people and they welcomed her, "You hungry, too?" Vincent asked, "No, Ah thought Ah'd see some old friends." Granny Smith replied, and Vincent introduced the other physically disabled to Granny Smith, she talks about her life and they laugh and enjoy her stories. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were with the kids, they all had fun playing together, Pinkie Pie and Silverstream played with them as well, Fluttershy joined shortly afterwards. The world's natives befriend many of them and see all of the disabled people were actually very friendly, they talked about when the kingdom came into their world, and Narcissus, who no one liked, "I'm sorry to say this, but I wasn't trying to transfer you all here." Twilight Sparkle said, "It's alright, but we do have to head home, there are still more disabled people and animals we have to get." Volvox replied, "Alright, good luck, all of you." Princess Celestia said, they smiled, Twilight Sparkle casts the same spell and they are sent back to their world while they say bye to one another. Twilight Sparkle was happy to meet Volvox and his kingdom, it let her know that there were many other friendly people out there, she had the School of Friendship establish a special needs section for such students, she goes on to help the disabled people of her world and at the school for years to come. Sci-FiVolvox was created by the Maker to watch Earth and direct the humans, even though he was the very first species to exist on the planet. Volvox watched the angels and demons get created, he befriended Dommiel, a demon, and now served as his right hand man, the humans were created afterwards. The Maker wanted Volvox to make the humans develop with either magic or science, both had downsides, science was going to be extremely advanced eventually, but it would take thousands of years to fully develop, while magic will be powerful at the beginning, it was a non-renewable resource, it will get weaker as the years went by, and would eventually be gone. Volvox decided to have the humans develop in science, he watched their science develop through history, during the ancient times, when other creatures roamed the Earth, Volvox befriended a ghoul named Giovi, who had knife blades to replace his severed hand claws. During the 17th century, Dommiel met the Count of Saint Germain, who developed time travel, he opened his portals throughout time with his mind. Dommiel also met a brilliant mind during the 18th century, it was a man named Tom, the apprentice of Leonardo da Vinci, who was a genius ahead of his time, and had great love for technology, the five came together. The five could not wait for the future, so the Count of Saint Germain opened a portal with his mind to go to the future, they went twenty five thousand years into the future, it was the year 27,286 AD, and they were still alive. Volvox was still called the emperor, and ruled the area, Dommiel was the general of the military, Giovi was a bodyguard to Volvox, the Count of Saint Germain was the world's historian, and Tom was the main scientist. The five look and see Volvox, Dommiel, and Giovi were called living fossils, "Look at that, we still live to this time." Dommiel said, "Yes, so do I, it says here I've gotten nanomachines to keep myself alive." Tom replied, "I like that, it appears coming here was a good thing after all." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Yup, come on, let's see how much science has progressed." Volvox replied, Giovi nodded while smiling and the five males look around. The five look around and were impressed by what they saw, electricity powered by the people's nervous systems, motion detecting devices everywhere for lights and security devices, bioluminescent candles with fireflies on them, soil powered technology, genetically engineered crops that fully grow with just one drop of water, pills that tasted just like the pictured food and drinks on them, it also had all of their nutrition, devices that can change the weather anywhere at anytime, faster than light travel and mail, vehicles that operate as automobiles, aircraft, watercraft, and spacecraft, they could also go underwater and underground, nanomachines within people's bodies that produce stem cells to heal them when they are injured, and increase their physical abilities, they also helped technology identify who they were, animals had devices on their necks that would translate what sounds they made into human language so they could understand them, the plants and bugs had societies of their own, so did the microscopic organisms, they all lived in peace. The world did not just have humans, it also had mutants, machines, and an extraterrestrial species, some people were a fusion of two or more of them. The five look and see the alien species was called devilgor, they were from the planet Salatun, they see they were all about eight feet tall, and were extremely muscular, they had dark red skin, while their abdomens, back of their thighs, calves, bottom of their tails, inner parts of their biceps, forearms, and palms were a somewhat dark orange color, they all had shoulders that were pointed at the sides, they had two big wings on their backs, the wing membranes were dark orange, while the parts with the bones were red, they had three fingers on each wing, at the end of each finger was a black spike, long black claws for their fingers, thumbs, and toes, three black horns, one on the sides of their head, and a third horn on their foreheads, like Dommiel's spikes on his helmet, they all had yellow-white canine teeth, which were pointed and looked like big needles, and were always exposed, along with their gums, and their heads were shaped like inverted triangles. Volvox sees those were all of the regular technology and aliens, he sees that the devilgors did not have any technology, but they made up by being physically superior to the humans, mutants, and machines. Volvox decided that he has seen enough of the regular technology, and he wanted to see the military technology, Dommiel was greatly looking forward to it. Volvox, Dommiel, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, and Tom walk together to see the military technology, they were in awe at what they saw, they saw the humans had bio-armor like the Guyver, they had real life Kamen Rider suits, but it was only Kamen Rider Ichigo and Kamen Rider Nigo. Tom was in awe when he saw Metal Gears, Metal Gear REX and Metal Gear RAY were being mass produced, the military was also mass producing the Shagohod. The Count of Saint Germain was excited to see the satellites around them had weapons on them as well, they could be used for kinetic bombardment, much to his excitement. Giovi was impressed to see lightsabers were now real, he was thinking about getting them to replace the knife blades he has for his claws, he also liked how the bows and crossbows were replaced with guns that shot out lasers beams, some shot out lasers that burned whatever it touched, he was especially impressed to see someone test shooting a rocket launcher that shot as fast as a machine gun. Dommiel was extremely excited to see a dark green flying tank was made, it was shaped like a tiltrotor, it had a tank turret at the top of each propeller end, above the four black obsidian blades on each wing, they shot together, missiles came out, the turret on the cockpit shot out a red oval shaped dart with a black tip, when it touched an object, the entire object would turn orange and explode, no matter how big or small, it had a fourth turret under the cockpit, it rotated three hundred sixty degrees, and shot out piercing bullets, that turret was a machine gun, the last weapon was on its tail, at the back, it was another turret, it had an alice blue oval shaped weapon with light blue electricity on it, it was tested and it shot out a white beam with light blue outlines, it destroyed whatever it hit, the testers than activated a cloaking device and it made the flying tank invisible, the testers than put twenty anti-gravity devices on its bottom, and they fly it to test it, it was a success, Dommiel was super excited, he wanted to use that flying tank and wreak havoc. Volvox walks around and sees the Tau Cannon from Half Life has been made, it had the Gluon Gun on it, it was a module, Volvox became especially excited when he saw the BFG10k from Quake II was real as well, he wanted to use it and shoot it everywhere, he saw jetpacks with shoulder mounted railguns as well, as well as wrist mounted coilguns, he was also interested in the grenades, because when someone held it out, the grenade will fly and home on whatever is in front of the lug, he was especially impressed with the landmines, because they had motion detectors in them, and beeped when someone was detected, and if that person tried to run away, the landmine will literally fly out of the ground and home onto the target and explode on them. The five keep looking around and see the world's citizens had technological devices to change their physical appearances to what they desire, they see the citizens no longer had to diet or exercise to stay in shape, they also see the people had touchscreen devices and footwear that allowed them to fly, they can see the footwear all had either rockets or anti-gravity devices in them to make them fly, while the touchscreen devices were connected to their minds, so they did not have to use their fingers to navigate them, what they wanted to say with their minds was also automatically texted onto the devices. Tom sees kids playing video games, they were all virtual reality, they had virtual reality board games as well, and old games that kids played before the invention of video games and computers could also be played by virtual reality. The Count of Saint Germain looks and sees the museum, he looks at it and was in awe, the other four go there and were in awe as well, they see the museum had every single artwork, fashion, architecture, cuisine, weapons, military uniforms, technological devices, historical figures, and historical events recorded in the museum, they also had the extinct animals in there as well, the five see the citizens were using time traveling devices to go back in time to bring historical objects into the museum, the Count of Saint Germain sees he was the one who came up with this museum, and made time traveling devices for the historians to use, the five smiled, and had flashbacks of their own pasts, they decided to go forward. The five keep walking around and the world's natives all bowed to them, they hear walking to their lefts and look, they saw real life Terminators, much to their surprises, a robot walks to them, "You five are needed for a meeting with the Council." the robot said, "Who were you, again?" Dommiel asked, "I am Grid, humanity perfected." the robot said in his emotionless and monotone voice, "I remember seeing you in a comic book, I didn't think you'd become real." the Count of Saint Germain said, "I am not like my comic book self." Grid replied, "How so?" Tom asked, "My comic book self longed for emotion, I do not wish to have emotion, since it clouds one's judgement." Grid replied, "Can't argue with that." Volvox said, the other four agreed, "I understand you five have come here from the past, we all know that, I will show you to the Council's room." Grid said, and they follow him. The five walk around and saw there were four cities, they were on the one that was on land, there was one in the sky, and another one underwater, the last city was in space, the five saw they lived in domes that had oxygen in them, they were all floating in space. Grid brings the five to meet the Council, they see there were two humans, two mutants, two robots, two aliens, two humanoid lions, two humanoid dung beetles, two humanoid shrubs, and a microscope that revealed two amoebas, each group had one male member and one female member. Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom sat in their seats, which had their names on them, "Emperor Volvox, our best scientists have made a new device that may allow us to travel to other parts of space, we need your approval to use it." the male humanoid shrub member said, "What does it look like?" Volvox asked, "It is a simple controller with a button, it will open a a wormhole by controlling microscopic quantum tearers, it will open a wormhole, and we fly into it." the female alien member replied, "Please understand, we're from thousands of years in the past, we just came here because of the Count of Saint Germain here." Tom said, "Yes, we understand, we predicted you five coming with numerology." the male robot member replied, "What else did you all predict with numerology?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "Well, according to our calculations, when we use that quantum tearing device, the wormhole is going to transfer us to an area in space we have never been before, the land below us will have life on it, it is very diverse, but the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs are the dominant creatures." the male amoeba member replied, "Very well, let's give it a try." Volvox said, the members of the Council were happy, "Now onto other important matters, our technology has been being disabled by these strange unidentified creatures, we don't know what to make of them." the female robot member said, "What do they look like?" Dommiel asked, "Small, red eyes, flappy ears, three fingers and toes, claws." the male human member replied, Volvox and the other four realized they were talking about gremlins, "What else can you tell us?" Tom asked, "They are being guided telepathically by their king, he seems to have some kind of psychic power, we're counting on you five, since you're our rulers, and said you would give your lives to protect us." the male mutant member replied, "I guess so, I always did believe my enemies would have to kill me first, before they attack my people." Volvox said, the members of the Council smiled, "Wait, so, there's no alien invasion to fight off?" Dommiel asked, "Not this time, we already had space pirates, Metroids, Predators, Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, The Thing, Xen, the Strogg, Combine, the Furons, Saiyans, Namekians, the Mooninites, the Plutonians, Kryptonians, Symbiotes, the Flood, the Great Diamond Authority, Brainiac, Thanos, and Darkseid, only Brianiac and Darkseid are still at large right now." the male machine member replied, "No killer robots or computers?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "You guys destroyed Skynet centuries ago." the female human member replied, "No mad scientist or doctor trying to make our species evolve through cruel and immoral ways?" Tom asked, "Dr. Challus was cryogenically frozen a few weeks ago." the male humanoid dung beetle replied, "No ancient or prehistoric animal being reawakened and causing havoc?" Volvox asked, "We cryogenically frozen the surviving prehistoric creatures a long time ago." the female humanoid dung beetle replied, "No virus or pandemic to survive against?" Tom asked, "Our nanomachines make us immune to all sicknesses and diseases in the universe." the male human member replied, "No mutated monsters from radiation spilling to kill?" Dommiel asked, "I think those gremlins actually are mutated from radiation." the male mutant member replied, the five became happy, "No killer plants?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "We already got rid of them." the female mutant member replied, "No creature created from dark matter?" Dommiel asked, "That hasn't happened, yet." the male human member replied, "No fighting in space wars with spacecraft or mobile suits?" Volvox asked, "That hasn't happened, yet, either." the female human member replied, the five could not think up of anything else, "Well, setting that aside, how are the cultures of the human species?" Volvox asked, "Ah, I am glad you asked, we no longer have any cultural clashes, we decided to take all of our cultures, traditions, customs, beliefs, and religions, and fuse them all into one culture." the male human member replied, the five were happy, "Do the mutants, machines, and aliens have their own cultures?" Dommiel asked, "Us machines do not have a culture, we just live the way we do, and do not have a religion, we believe in scientific knowledge." Grid replied, "What about the mutants?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "We were formally humans before we were mutated by radiation, our culture is the same as human culture." the male mutant replied, "That's a shame, I was hoping for some diversity." Dommiel said, "Me too." Volvox replied, "Well, us aliens have a different culture." the male alien member said, "Really? Do explain." Volvox replied happily, "We have our own music, similar to those of human tribes, we have shaman as well, our cuisine is all meat, we don't wear clothes due to our skin being strong and tough enough, we don't need oxygen to breathe, we can fly, and we have gills on our necks, so we can breathe underwater, we also have several devilgors working in space, we don't have any art or pottery, our cooking is the same as you guys, and we worship the god Azathoth." the male alien member explained, Volvox was very uncomfortable, he has met Azathoth in person several times, and they do not get along, "Are you aliens having trouble getting along with Earth's natives?" Volvox asked, "Used to, we get along now thanks to you." the male alien member replied, "I forgot, where was Salatun, again?" Tom asked, "You don't need to pretend you forgot, we know you guys are from the past, everybody does, Salatun is located in the Taurus constellation, we travel there and to the space station with light trains." the male alien member replied, "Wait, a light train?" Dommiel asked, "Yeah, trains that also act as spaceships, they carry people at the speed of light, it is very fast and very smooth." the female alien member replied, "Oh, like a Japanese bullet train." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Exactly, those bullet trains were actually prototypes of the light trains." the male human member replied, the five were impressed, "Say, where's Swamp Thing?" Volvox asked, "Oh, he's living with the other mobile plants, he's an adviser now." the female humanoid shrub member replied, "One more thing, what if we're transferred into a hostile area with that device?" Dommiel asked, "We have another dome under us, they'll see that one instead, it's also in space, so I doubt they'll reach it." the female human member replied, "Alright, let's test it." Volvox said, Grid went to a microphone, "Attention, everybody, the wormhole travel experiment has been approved, embrace for fast travel." Grid said, and everybody got into their homes, "Okay, here we go." the male mutant member said, and he pulls out a controller and pushes the button. The microscopic quantum tearers work and a wormhole was made. The cities, space station, and the dome under them with no one or nothing in it goes into the wormhole. Everybody travels at rapid speeds and soon come out on the other side of the wormhole, it closed shortly afterwards. Everybody cheered and they all look around, "It was a success." the male human member said, "Look, everybody, we correctly predicted where we would be." Grid replied, and he pushed some buttons to activate a screen that was big and high in the sky, he made them appear underwater, in the sky, and in space so the people living in those areas could see it as well. Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Starlight Glimmer, Sandbar, Ocellus, Gallus, Yona, Smolder, Silverstream, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Gilda, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, General Seaspray, Sky Beak, Ocean Flow, Terramar, Daring Do, Bulk Biceps, Mr. and Mrs. Cake, Pound Cake, Pumpkin Cake, Trixie, Cheerilee, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Filthy Rich, Spoiled Rich, Snips, Snails, Discord, Mayor Mare, Comet Tail, Night Light, Twilight Velvet, Bow Hothoof, Windy Whistles, Mr. and Mrs. Shy, Zephyr Breeze, Igneous Rock Pie, Cloudy Quartz, Limestone Pie, Maud Pie, Mudbriar, Marble Pie, Cheese Sandwich, Hondo Flanks, Cookie Crumbles, Granny Smith, Big Macintosh, Sugar Belle, Doctor Whooves, Roseluck, Derpy, and many more of the world's residents look up in the sky with surprise and confusion. They were all wondering what that thing in the sky was, "You think somebody could be living up there?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I don't know, but it's blocking out the sun." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Agreed, let's try pulling it down." Rarity said, "Hold on a sec, Rarity, that wouldn't be a very nice thing to do if someone is livin' in there." Applejack replied, "But it's blocking out the sun, there's no fun with no sun." Pinkie Pie said, "I must agree with Applejack, pulling it down by force would be impolite." Fluttershy replied, "But it's blocking out the sun, we should try communicating with them." Spike said, "I agree, hold on a minute, everybody." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she flies into the sky. Twilight Sparkle tries to fly up to the dome that had no one in it, she goes to the top of her world's atmosphere, she was about to enter space and began gasping and wheezing, she flew back down. Twilight Sparkle saw everybody looking at her, "It's no use, it's too high, everybody, I can't breathe up there." Twilight Sparkle said, shocking everybody, "Twilight, try using your Royal Canterlot Voice." Princess Celestia said, Twilight Sparkle realized she had it, and looked back, she flew up as high as she could, "EXCUSE ME!!" Twilight Sparkle yelled with her Royal Canterlot Voice, there was no response. Volvox and the others were watching and see Twilight Sparkle looking at them, they could not hear her, some of them were laughing a bit at the fact she was yelling at the fake dome with no one in it, they see her have a bewildered face, she decided to try using telekinesis and managed to reach it, but she could not pull it down. Princess Celestia grabbed it with her telekinesis and helped her pull it down, it came down and they put it northeast of Canterlot. The empty dome was pulled down and everybody gathered around to check it, Princess Celestia managed to open the top with her telekinesis, everybody gasped when they saw it was empty, "There's nobody in it?" Princess Ember asked, "Yak see something else in sky." Prince Rutherford said, they all look and gasp when they saw the actual civilization in space, even higher, "That thing is huge." Ocellus said, "Really high up, too, I don't think telekinesis is going to reach that one." Sandbar replied, "We can't fly up there, either." Smolder said, "Then how do we reach thing?" Yona asked, "Wanna try throwing some kind of note up there?" Gallus asked, "That sounds like a great idea." Silverstream replied, and she wrote a paper with a quill in her right talon, she balled it up, flew up as high as she could, and tried throwing the note, she was excited, but she became shocked when the note floated around in space, Volvox used his telekinesis to get the note and pull it in, he opened it and read it, "Hi, My name is Silverstream, I'm a hippogriff, and I want to meet you guys, so can you all please come down?" "What do the rest of you say?" Volvox asked, "Let's stay up here for now." Dommiel replied, "Yeah, we don't know if they're hostile or not." Tom said, the Council agreed, "Well, let's get you five ready to fight the gremlins, then." the male human member said, and they prepare for them. The next day comes and the world's natives look at the floating dome, there was nothing coming from it. The dome and space station blocked out Princess Luna's moon last night, which angered her, she flew up in the afternoon as high as she could, "I DEMAND A WORD WITH THE RULER!!" Princess Luna yelled with her Royal Canterlot Voice, the people in the space dome did not hear her, Princess Celestia used her magic to see if there were people living up there, she saw there was. Twilight Sparkle flew up with a megaphone and was beside Princess Luna to her right, "EXCUSE ME!! WE'D LIKE TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOU GUYS!!" Twilight Sparkle yelled into the megaphone with her Royal Canterlot Voice, it scared everyone in the world, the people in the dome did not hear her. Pinkie Pie got out a megaphone, "WE'RE CALLING YOU GUYS!! WE WANT ANSWERS!!" Pinkie Pie yelled, it moved the mountains, and scared everyone again, she could not reach them, either. The humans, machines, mutants, aliens, hybrids, plants, animals, bugs, and microorganisms get on with their days while Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom were being briefed about the gremlins, "Okay, guys, the Gremlin King has twelve commanders, each with a special power, their names are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces." the male human member of the Council said, "What are they?" Volvox asked, "Aries can control machines with his mind, he has technopathy. Taurus lives in this kingdom's AI system, he has no physical body, he's also a master of electrokinesis. Gemini is filled with parasites, so he can change his body parts into anything. Cancer is microscopic size, so you won't be able to see him, he's spreading some kind of sickness around. Leo is genetically engineered, so he can change into monsters, basically, he changes into Zoanoids from the Guyver, but you five get the idea. Virgo has bio-armor, he can basically change into a Guyver or a Kamen Rider. Libra is a living plant, he can control the plants as well. Scorpio is a master of the Force, he has psychic powers as well, he also wields a lightsaber. Sagittarius is an ancient gremlin, so he's bigger and stronger than the others, his body regenerates rapidly. Capricorn controls mobile weapons with his mind, he's in a mobile suit, we don't know which one, though, he's also a robot, he looks like those cyborgs from Mortal Kombat. Aquarius can breathe underwater, he also has enhanced physical abilities. Pisces is a mutated gremlin, he has to wear a special suit to survive, but the suit grants him pyrokinesis, hydrokinesis, geokinesis, and aerokinesis." the male human member replied, "Things just got a whole lot more interesting." Tom said, the other four agreed and smiled, "Only those thirteen gremlins are mutated, they lead smaller gremlins around and they cause trouble, we're counting on you five to stop them." the male human member said, "Leave it to us." Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, and Tom replied, Giovi just nodded and smiled, "Excuse me!" Pinkie Pie said on the glass dome around the main city, every citizen exclaimed with shock, the Council and Volvox look and see her floating in space, "We would like to have a word with you..." Pinkie Pie said, she gasped shortly and held her breath as she floated away from the domes, everybody was in disbelief at what they just saw. Twilight Sparkle looked at the space dome with her friends and students, Pinkie Pie hopped to them, "Pinkie? Where were you?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Elsewhere, I tried to contact them, Pinkie Pie style, but I didn't have much luck." Pinkie Pie replied, "Well, Pinkie is Pinkie, who knows what she did." Applejack said, "Hey look, Princess Celestia is trying something." Rainbow Dash said, and they all watch her. Volvox and the citizens see bright glares in their homes, Grid set up a screen and everybody saw the white sun was being controlled with telekinesis, they look and saw Princess Celestia was controlling it, she was looking at them with a neutral facial expression, "Should we see what she wants?" Dommiel asked, "Might as well, I don't think we have much of a choice." Volvox replied, and he uses telekinesis to lower the cities on the land, in the sea, and in the sky, he kept the space station in space. Everybody saw the dome coming down and cheered, Princess Celestia smiled as she watched it, everybody saw how big it was, which surprised them, it soon landed. The middle dome opens and a gray ramp came out, the Count of Saint Germain walked out, "Oh, what a lovely outfit he has on." Rarity said, the Count of Saint Germain walked forward and he saw Princess Celestia coming over, they landed on top of the dome that had no one in it, other natives of the world went to him, "You all contacted?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "Yes, you all are blocking the sun and moon for this land." Princess Celestia replied, "Oh, our deepest apologies, we got here through an experiment." the Count of Saint Germain said, "What? We tried calling for you guys." Twilight Sparkle said, "We didn't hear you." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Oh." the world's natives said, "I thought you all were ignoring us." Princess Luna said, "No, of course not, we didn't hear you guys calling us." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Just who are you?" Princess Ember asked, "I am the Count of Saint Germain." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Count? The clothes you're wearing look... out of date... compared to other humans I've seen." Starlight Glimmer said, "Oh... uh... about that, I'm a time traveler." the Count of Saint Germain replied, shocking everyone, "A time traveler?" Silverstream asked, "Yes, I'm twenty one thousand years from the past." the Count of Saint Germain replied, this made Starlight Glimmer skeptical, "You don't look like you're from that far in the past." Starlight Glimmer said, "I guess it's time dilation, then." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Time dilation? What in tarnation is that?" Applejack asked, "Well, it's a bit complicated to explain." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Can you give us the basics?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Time between two places moves differently, time moves faster or slower in one area than it does in another." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Wow, I've never heard of such a thing." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, it's common in books, it also appears we'll be here for a while." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Then take the glasses down, I believe you all may enjoy it here." Princess Celestia said, "Alright, but step back, our cities are going to expand." the Count of Saint Germain replied, and they all left. The Count of Saint Germain went back into the land dome and the ramp went up, he saw Tom and Grid working on floating screens, "Analysis complete, we are able to terraform and let our cities sit on the ground and in the water." Grid said, "Alright, here we go." Tom said, and the two press buttons to make their domes disappear. The domes go down and the land changes, they had a body of water now, the underwater city was there, the land city expands on went into the ground, the sky city also expanded, and continued floating in the sky, while the space station just remained in space with satellites around them. The world's natives gasped and looked at their country with awe, they had vehicles that can change from a car, into a boat, into a plane, communicating devices that were connected to their minds, the devices did what their owners' minds said, tubes for people who did not have vehicles to use, they used them to travel from one city to another, scopes that acted as binoculars, microscopes, and telescopes, medical equipment that could not only heal people in seconds, but also revive the deceased, and devices to create clones, and nobody used paper money or coins, they all used digital money on pretty much every single touchscreen device, "Oh my." Igneous Rock Pie said as he looked on from his farm. Everybody was shocked by what they saw, "Oh my goodness." Fluttershy said, "I could say the same thing, Fluttershy, I've never seen such technology." Twilight Sparkle replied, they saw Princess Ember fly to them, "Who's in charge here?" Princess Ember asked, "Well... there's twenty one rulers in our country." a male human replied, "Twenty one rulers?" Princess Ember asked, "Yeah." the human replied, "Who's the supreme ruler?" Princess Ember asked, "That would be the emperor." the human replied, "Take me to him." Princess Ember said, a big silver orb floats down to her and it disappears, she was shocked when she saw Volvox, she could not believe how big he was, "Who's contacting us?" Volvox asked, "Who's the emperor?" Princess Ember asked, "I am." Volvox replied, "What is this country?" Princess Ember asked, "Well, it's a bit complicated to explain." Volvox replied, "Is this magic?" Princess Ember asked, "Nope, all science." Volvox replied, Twilight Sparkle was very shocked when she heard that, she has never seen or heard of such science, it was all beyond her understanding, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence flew over, "If possible, I'd like to meet the other rulers." Princess Celestia said, "We're all right here." Dommiel replied, "State who you all are." Princess Luna said, "I am Darwin." the male human member replied, "And I'm Marie, we're the representatives of the humans." the female member said, "My name is Ivan." the male mutant member said, "I am Lizmarie, we are the representatives for the mutants." the female mutant member said, "Wait, mutants?" Princess Ember asked, "Yeah, they used to be humans until they came into contact with radiation and mutated." Tom replied, shocking the princesses, "What about the rest of you?" Princess Cadence asked, "I am T-1850." the male robot member replied, "I am Model X, we are the representatives for the machines." the female robot member said, "I am Grid, I am an adviser and technologist for the emperor, I am not a ruler." Grid said, the world's natives were excited to meet the machines, "My name is Zerbebuth." the male alien member said, "My name is Zancrus, we are the representatives for the devilgors." the female alien member said, "Devilgor?" Princess Cadence asked, "Extraterrestrials, there's life on other planets out there." Tom replied, the world's natives were excited, "My name is Cecil." the male humanoid lion said, "My name is Zira, we represent the animals who live in the country." the female humanoid lion said, Fluttershy was extremely excited, "I am Scarab." the male humanoid dung beetle said, "I am Sacer, we represent the bugs." the female humanoid dung beetle said, Fluttershy was excited again while Rarity exclaimed with shock, disgusted to see bugs in their government, "My name is Berberis." the male humanoid shrub member said, "I am Periwinkle, we represent the plants." the female humanoid shrub member said, the world's natives were surprised to see that plants were people as well, Twilight Sparkle wanted to study them, "I am Flagellum." the male amoeba member said, "My name is Cilia, we are the representatives for the microscopic organisms." the female amoeba member said, "Wait, microscopic?" Princess Luna asked, "There are some living organisms that are so small, they cannot be seen with the naked eye." the Count of Saint Germain replied, the world's natives were extremely surprised, Twilight Sparkle really wanted to study them, "What about you five?" Princess Celestia asked, "I'm Tom, I'm the top scientist and technician in this country." Tom said, "You all already know me, I'm also the country's historian." the Count of Saint Germain said, "I'm Dommiel, I'm the general and commander of the entire military." Dommiel said, it was silent for a few minutes, "Who is that guy there with the light blue skin and black hair and... knives on his hands?" Princess Ember asked, "Oh, that's Giovi, he's a bodyguard to the emperor, he doesn't talk, he prefers to let his actions do the talking." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "What's your name, emperor?" Princess Celestia asked, "Volvox." Volvox replied, "What do you do?" Princess Luna asked, "I approve of new technology, and I defend the country, if anyone invades, I'm the first line of defense." Volvox replied, "So, in other words, you lead from the front, I like that." Princess Ember said, Volvox smiled with all three of his heads, "Princess Celestia." Twilight Sparkle said as she flew to her, "I was thinking about having them attend the School of Friendship." Twilight Sparkle said, "That sounds wonderful, Twilight, spreading friendship far and wide sounds like a good idea." Princess Celestia replied, "School of Friendship?" Tom asked, "We are spreading friendship far and wide throughout this land, we'd be honored to spread it to other areas." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I'm not sure about that, friendship is usually earned, not given." Dommiel said, "The School of Friendship teaches to look past others' differences, and to accept one another." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Wait, does the school teach male bonding or female bonding?" Flagellum asked, "Both. Why the question?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Males and females bond differently." Zerbebuth replied, "How so?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Males bond through shared experiences, females bond through shared emotions." Marie replied, Twilight Sparkle was surprised, she never knew such a thing, Volvox looked at the citizens, "What do the rest of you say?" Volvox asked, the citizens agreed, "Sure, why not? I mean, we already have one foreign species living with us, I don't think having several more will do us any harm." Darwin replied, Twilight Sparkle and the princesses smiled, "Okay then, I'm going to need one of each kind to attend my school, I also need the rulers to come as well." Twilight Sparkle said, "I don't have time for this." Volvox replied, "Yeah, us five have a war to fight." Dommiel said, "A war?" Princess Cadence asked, "Creatures have been wreaking havoc in our country, we have to stop them, since we're the rulers, we're the first line of defense." Tom replied, "We'll be going, we check things out before we send the others." Zerbebuth replied, "Oh, well, I still need someone to represent the main rulers." Twilight Sparkle said, "Grid." Volvox said, "Ready to go, emperor." Grid replied, "Okay then, let's go." Twilight Sparkle said, and the council goes, Flagellum and Cilia use telekinesis to make their microscopes float up, and they move, much to the world's natives surprises, "Follow me." Twilight Sparkle said, and the members of the Council and Grid follow her, "Come on, let's get ready to fight the gremlins." Volvox said, the other four agreed and they leave as well. The Council and Grid go to the School of Friendship and sign in, Pinkie Pie was their first class, the Young Six were a bit unnerved by the robots. Pinkie Pie teachers her class, T-1850, Model X, and Grid just simply took notes while listening, "Hey, aren't you three having fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "We are not capable of experiencing pleasure." Grid replied, Pinkie Pie became extremely shocked, "Can't experience fun? Can't experience fun?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "Actually, we can't feel any emotion." T-1850 replied, shocking the students, "You guys have no emotions?!" Silverstream asked, "We see it as beneficial." Model X replied, "How?" Sandbar asked, "Lacking emotions has perfected our geniuses." Grid replied, shocking the students, "So... uh... what is your culture like?" Ocellus asked, "We do not have a culture." Grid replied, "No culture? What about beliefs?" Sandbar asked, "We believe in science and factual knowledge." T-1850 replied, shocking the others, "How do you guys move around?" Gallus asked, "We are powered by water, wind, the sun, the moon, and heat, we only need one to work, we have been programmed to have the beliefs and religions of the humans." Model X replied, surprising everyone, "Your monotone voices are creepy, even for me." Smolder said, "It is the way we sound, we have no control over it." Grid replied, "Moving on, what about you extraterrestrials, what do you guys do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Well, there's always arm wrestling." Zerbebuth replied, "Yeah, our kind like fighting." Zancrus said, Smolder and Gallus felt like the dragons and griffons were going to get along with them, while the ponies, changelings, and hippogriffs will not, and the yaks will be mixed, "Do extraterrestrials smash things?" Yona asked, "Yup, we smash our enemies' heads." Zerbebuth replied, shocking the students, "Yona meant as in smashing things like logs." Yona said, "Well, we don't do it for fun, we do when we build things, one thing we also like to do for fun is fighting tournaments." Zerbebuth replied, "Fighting tournaments? Count me in." Gallus said happily, "I want in, too." Smolder said, "Yona want in fighting tournament, too." Yona said, Sandbar, Ocellus, and Silverstream had shocked faces, "No, guys, think about the victim, it may be fun for you guys, but it's not fun for whoever gets hurt." Pinkie Pie said, "Don't worry, our hide is extremely tough, devilgors are the physically strongest and most durable species from Volvox's country." Zancrus replied, Zerbebuth smiled and nodded with his eyes closed, "Um, what are those spaces on your necks?" Silverstream asked, "They're gills, we can breathe underwater, too." Zancrus replied, shocking Silverstream, "So, you guys can fly... and breathe underwater?" Silverstream asked, "It's how we evolved, our kind are hunters, Salatun is as dangerous as prehistoric Earth." Zerbebuth replied, "Did you guys have a hard time when going to their home?" Ocellus asked, "It took a few adjustments, but it wasn't too bad." Zancrus replied, "No offense, but you guys look mean." Sandbar said, "Judging a book by its cover." Zancrus replied, "Yeah, don't let their appearances fool you, we were scared at first, too, but they turned out to be really nice and friendly people." Darwin said, "Well, what about you mutants? What do you all do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "The same things as the humans." Ivan replied, "What? No diversity?" Sandbar asked, "We were humans ourselves before we got mutated by radiation." Lizmarie replied, the students look at the two and see they had pale yellow skin and pointed ears, but other than that, they looked like humans, "Do every mutant look like you two?" Smolder asked, "Oh no, not at all, some have gills, some have wings, some have an odd number of limbs, some are hybrids of plants and animals, the list goes on." Ivan replied, the Young Six were shocked, "What do the animals do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "We hunt, we play games with our families, and we let our children explore, we haven't changed that much." Cecil replied, "How do you all live?" Sandbar asked, "The same, the lions still live in prides, the other animals still live the way they do, we have marine animals and avian animals as well, we also speak on their behalf, we used to hunt one another, but we now live together peacefully with the humans and other creatures." Zira replied, "So... you guys don't do any of the other creatures' activities for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Not really, we don't experience much fun, since we have spent centuries trying to survive." Cecil replied, "How did you guys become the way you are now?" Sandbar asked, "Selective breeding." Zira replied, "What's that?" Silverstream asked, "We won't go into detail, it's complicated." Cecil replied, "What do you plants do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Well, if we had to choose, it's being in the sun." Berberis replied, "Yes, the sun is great, especially in summer." Periwinkle said, "You guys don't play any games?" Gallus asked, "I can't think of one, we usually just stand in one place, and protect our living quarters from fire and other dangers." Berberis replied, "Alrighty then, what about you bugs, what do you all do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Nothing in particular, we've been busy surviving Earth for centuries, too." Scarab replied, "How many different bugs are there?" Smolder asked, "Millions." Sacer replied, "What are you guys?" Pinkie Pie asked, "We're dung beetles." Sacer replied, the world's natives were grossed out, "Dung beetles?" Silverstream asked, "What? Never heard of them?" Scarab asked, "No, but that sounds gross." Silverstream replied, "Sorry, but that's what we are, we use dung balls so our females can lay eggs in them, we eat them as food, too." Scarab said, grossing out every native, "You guys... eat poop?" Ocellus asked, "We've been eating it for millennia." Sacer replied, "Eww." the class said, the two humanoid dung beetles did not mind since humans found them gross many years ago, "Let's move on, everybody, what do you teeny weeny tiny winy little people do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "It's different for each type of microscopic organism." Flagellum replied, "What do you guys do?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Amoebas try to see who can become the biggest." Cilia replied, impressing the others, "Wait, none of you play music or sing?" Pinkie Pie asked, "The whales do, the birds also sing." Zira replied, "Plants usually don't sing." Periwinkle said, "The cicadas, grasshoppers, locusts, and crickets sing." Sacer said, "Nope, microorganisms don't sing." Cilia said, "Well, the devilgors do sometimes, we have taken a liking to rock and metal music when we came here, we do shaman-like chants when we sing, the music is usually done by beating sticks on the ground." Zerbebuth said, "Some machines are programmed to play music." Grid said, "Us mutants and humans play the same songs, we sing, too." Lizmarie said, "The same things?" Sandbar asked, "Yup, humans, mutants, and machines all share the same culture." Darwin replied, surprising everyone, the bell rung shortly afterwards, "Aw, that's too bad, I was hoping we could teach these creatures how to cook and how to party, but it seems we don't have the time, till next time, everycreature." Pinkie Pie said, "Come on, Fluttershy's class is next, this way." Sandbar said to the natives, and they follow him. Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom were getting ready to fight the gremlins, they saw flying cameras fly around while they walked, they discarded the things they were given to help fight the gremlins, "You know what? Let's see what the future past here is like." Dommiel said, "Good idea, let's give it a check." the Count of Saint Germain replied, and he opens a portal with his mind and they go through it. The five walk around and look at the timelines, they keep going and stopped with surprise, "Uh-oh." Volvox said, and they saw the gremlins have taken over the country, and the king was being carried around while sitting on a throne, "Let's try taking him out in the past." Tom said, "Good idea, let's see if we can find them." the Count of Saint Germain replied, and they walk through the area. The five arrive at the past and see the gremlins were aliens from another planet, they see the devilgors were slaves under their commands, they fought the gremlins and caused them to crash on Earth, they first appeared in Malta, the Middle East, and India in the 1920s, and the gremlins have been sabotaging human technology ever since just for fun, "Come on, let's get rid of them." Volvox said, the four agreed and they were about to go to the past, "No." Princess Celestia said as a yellow aura appeared on the five and they were pulled out. The five arrive in Canterlot and they see Princess Celestia standing in front of them, the aura on her horn disappears, "Do not take your fight to the past, you will end up messing up the present in this land as well." Princess Celestia said, "We were just going to take out the gremlins." Dommiel replied, "That doesn't matter, if anyone or anything sees you, you will alter history, so no, do it here and now." Princess Celestia said, "Are you the only one watching us?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "Not at all, every country is watching you guys." Princess Celestia replied, "Come on, guys, let's go." Volvox said, and the five walk back, while each step Volvox took shook the ground. The five arrive back in their country and they look for the gremlins, they see a law enforcement building and see every single part of the country was being tracked and watched with satellites, sonars, radars, and cameras, there was literally nowhere to hide. The five look at it while impressed, but they continue, "Okay, which gremlin should we take out first?" Volvox asked, "I guess Pisces, he doesn't really have any powers." Dommiel replied, "Yeah, all he has is a special suit, let's take him out." Tom said, the Count of Saint Germain and Giovi nodded. Explosions were heard and the citizens scream, the five look to see what was going on, they saw gremlins appear, they were small, "Look at that, they look just the gremlins from the 1984 movie." the Count of Saint Germain said, "That's a surprise, I thought they would look more like the one from the Twilight Zone." Tom replied, "Come on, guys, now's not the time." Volvox said, and they focused on the oncoming gremlins. The gremlins destroy whatever technology there was, "Go on, wreck havoc, my little minions." a male voice said, they all look and saw a gremlin that was bigger than the others, he was also humanoid with his body, "I am the Gremlin King, conqueror of Salatun, and the future ruler of Earth, this country is ours!" the humanoid gremlin said, "So that's our main target." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Yeah, too bad he doesn't have a crown, though, I was hoping we could knock it off of his head." Tom replied, the other four laugh a little, "There's the emperor, attack, my servants!" the Gremlin King said, and the small gremlins run and climb onto Volvox, they try scratching and biting him, it did nothing to him, "Ow." Volvox said sarcastically, he then used telekinesis to hold them in front of him, he shot an orange and white blast of fire out of his three mouths, the gremlins were destroyed. The Gremlin King screams with terror and ran away, "Oh, he runs away when he's in danger, I like that." Dommiel said, "Yup, that's a natural response." Volvox replied, "Still, how did you cast those hellfire breaths?" Tom asked, "I have glands in my mouth that allow me to shoot fire out, it's not just magic, but it does seem my fire is weaker than before." Volvox replied, the five soon hear fire being shot out, they look and saw a humanoid gremlin flying through the air with a jetpack, he had four fan blades on his palms, there was an oxygen tank on his back, and squirt guns on his forearms, he was wearing a silver suit, and had black acrylic glass over his eyes, "My name is Pisces, I am the genius of the gremlins." the humanoid gremlin in the suit said, and he flew to them with the jetpack, he had flames appear on his hand claws, "What the?" Tom asked, "Pyrotechnics have come a long way." Pisces replied, and he shoots fire at them, Tom and the Count of Saint Germain duck, while Dommiel and Giovi were out of reach, it hit Volvox but did no damage, he looks and saw his suit had flamethrowers on where his claws should be, Volvox was bored and shot more fire out his mouths, but Pisces' suit was fireproof. Pisces holds his arms out and fires the squirt guns, they see it shot out water at high speeds, it cut whatever it hit, the five noticed they were waterjets. Dommiel uses telekinesis on Pisces' waterjets and breaks them apart, Pisces growls and holds his hands out, the fans in his palms begin spinning at high speeds, it only blew small objects at them, the five were unimpressed, "How do you use geokinesis?" Volvox asked, and Pisces uses telekinesis to destroy the ground, Tom shook his head, "You suck." Tom said, Pisces gasped with horror, "This took a very long time to make!" Pisces said angrily, "Well, you didn't do a good job." the Count of Saint Germain replied, Giovi uses telekinesis and brings Pisces to him, he stabs the knife blades he had for his claws into Pisces' chest, he gasped and wheezed before dying, "I hope the others aren't this easy." Dommiel said, "Me neither, come on, let's take out the next member." Volvox replied, and they leave to take out the remaining gremlins. Fluttershy begins her class and was with Scarab and Sacer, "Now, everycreature, dung beetles live in forests and deserts, I know they sound gross, but the dung they roll is for their diet and to lay their young in it." Fluttershy said, the natives were grossed out, "Do you have any dung from herbivores or omnivores?" Sacer asked, "Sorry, but no." Fluttershy replied, "What's a herbivore?" Gallus asked, "It is a creature that only eats plants, omnivores eat anything." Fluttershy replied, "And carnivores eat only meat, that's what we are." Zerbebuth said, the animals became scared and backed away, "Sorry, but when we see animals, we think of food." Zancrus said, scaring the world's natives, "What about the rest of you?" Ocellus asked, "Humans are omnivores." Darwin replied, "Mutants are omnivores, too." Lizmarie said, "Depends on the animal." Cecil said, "Most plants feed themselves, but we need the sun to get nutrition, a few plants are carnivorous." Berberis said, "Some bugs eat meat, too." Sacer said, "Hmm, well, I guess we're carnivores, too, microorganisms eat one another." Flagellum said, "Oh dear, but I am curious, are there any animals that cannot be seen?" Fluttershy asked, "Of course, you've got the dust mites, spider mites, the demodex, bacteria, fungi, viruses, algae, protozoa, some arthropods, some crustaceans, some nematodes, certain cladocera, rotifers, the loriciferan, and the tardigrade." Cilia replied, "Wait, who are the representatives for the fungi?" Sandbar asked, "The plants represent them as well." Periwinkle said, "But they're not plants." Sandbar said, "We know, but they are distantly related to us." Berberis replied, "What are the animals on Salatun like?" Fluttershy asked, "Dangerous, one animal we all fear was the Gutter, it was fifteen feet tall, had many legs, like a millipede, but they looked like human legs, its body was like that, too, you could see its insides through its skin, it had a stinger on its back, and its head looked like a human baby's head with cyclopia, it ate us for food, it would have its victims hanging out of its mouth as well. The Gutter's breath was poisonous, it would kill anything that smelled it. It's called the Gutter because of its razor-sharp feet, its toenails are very sharp, it likes to cut the victim's abdomen and take out its insides, it would then go to the nearest fire to cook its victim, and kill anyone or anything that's there." Zerbebuth explained, "Oh my, that's scary, what else do you have?" Fluttershy asked, "The Kongamato is real on our home planet, another animal that's common is the Elsk, it's basically a giant eel, it enters the victims body through their orifices, usually the mouth, and it eats them from the inside-out." Zancrus replied, scaring the others, "Never mind, I don't want to know anymore." Silverstream said, "What about the rest of you?" Zerbebuth asked, everybody refused, including Fluttershy, "That reminds me, we didn't cover what you machines eat." Sandbar said, "We do not need to consume in order to survive." Grid replied, "Wait, you guys don't eat anything?" Smolder asked, "We don't drink anything, either." T-1850 replied, "Is there anything else you guys don't need?" Gallus asked, "Sleep." Model X replied, shocking everybody, "Let's change the subject, what kind of animals do you machines and mutants have?" Fluttershy asked, "Well, us mutants have the same animals as the others, but they're mutated, too, we have dogs with wings, deer with gills, a three headed cat, wolverines the size of a fly, rats the size of houses, you name it." Ivan replied, everybody was interested, "What about you machines?" Fluttershy asked, "We have animals that are machines, like us." Grid said, "Mechanical animals?!" Silverstream asked, "Would you like one?" T-1850 asked, "No! I want a regular pet!" Silverstream replied, "We adopt those, as well." Grid said, "What are the machine pets like?" Fluttershy asked, "Just like us, act on facts and logic, they too, lack emotion." Model X replied, shocking the students, the bell rung afterwards, "One more question before you all go, what do you mutants eat?" Fluttershy asked, "Same things as humans, and recycled waste, our bodies were mutated to digest them, it has gotten rid of most of the polluting problems, our koi fish are especially good at keeping the waters clean." Lizmarie replied, "Okay, that is all, onward to your next class now." Fluttershy said, "This way, guys, Rarity's class is next." Sandbar said, and they all go to her classroom. Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom were at an Italian restaurant close to Canterlot, Volvox could just barely fit in, "Well, Tom, Saint Germain, and Giovi, go on and order, Dommiel and I don't need nutrition to survive." Volvox said, "Why not?" Tom asked, "We were just made that way." Dommiel replied, and they just order spaghetti. The three eat without using the silverware, Giovi just slurped the noodles, they were almost done with their meals until they saw the Gremlin King was also in the restaurant, he appeared to be with a female gremlin, she looked almost just like him, but smaller, "They're selling this place to the dogs now, I've got something for you, Flibbertigibbet." the Gremlin King said, and he showed her a gold car hood with a diamond muffler, "Wow, it's lovely, daddy." Flibbertigibbet said, "Flibbertigibbet, I want you to think of me every time you see this, to let you know how hard your father works to show the other species' our superiority by disassembling their technology, I got this one to match your beauty, a high class of art like me and yourself." the Gremlin King said, Flibbertigibbet was happy, "Oh, no! The Gremlin King is a snob!" Dommiel said with his hands on his cheeks, everybody who heard him laughed. Princess Celestia overheard him from her palace, she stood on her balcony and looked at the country with disapproval, Grampa Gruff, Gilda, and the griffons were laughing, so was Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Garble, and the other dragons. Volvox and his four allies keep watching the Gremlin King interact with Flibbertigibbet, "My sweet daughter, I have put a charm on this piece, to make you love me as your father, no matter what." the Gremlin King said, the five except for Giovi exclaim with disgust, "I can't stand other males like that!" the Count of Saint Germain said, the Gremlin King looks at them and recognizes them, he screams with shock, "You guys are here, too?!" the Gremlin King asked with shock, "Daddy? What's going on?" Flibbertigibbet asked, "No time to explain, dear, let's go. Attack, my servants." the Gremlin King replied, and they run out. Small gremlins come out from under the tables and the people scream as they begin throwing the food and silverware around, some of them were making a mess in the kitchen. The five stood up and fought back, Dommiel just simply punched them with his fists, they died easily, the Count of Saint Germain used his saber to cut the gremlins, he also used his revolver to shoot the ones on the lights, Giovi cut them apart with the blades he had for his claws, Tom threw them around and they died easily from it, and Volvox was looking for one of the remaining commanders. The gremlins in the restaurant were dead and the four see they have made a mess, Volvox was looking around and saw plants burst out of the floor, "Quick, get out, we're going to go into the ground." Volvox said, and the other four ran outside while Volvox jumped out, through the ceiling. The five were outside and they see vines coming out of the ground. The ground bursts open and they hear cackling, they look and see a humanoid gremlin, he was a greenish-yellow color, "You face Libra, master of chlorokinesis, the flora bows to me!" the humanoid gremlin said, he was so big, all of the world's natives could see him, they were very shocked to see his powers, they have never seen anyone who could control plants. Libra makes Venus flytraps come out of the ground and were overgrown, they try to eat Volvox, but he just blew them apart with his fire breath, the Count of Saint Germain tries to cut the vines with his saber, but it did not work, the vines were too thick, Giovi could not cut through them, either. Dommiel and Tom look around for something to use to help them, they look and see a sword store to the south, but a little far, the two run and break a window, they take three swords and run back, they give one to the Count of Saint Germain. Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, and Tom activate them, Dommiel had a high frequency energy blade, it was shaped like a claymore, it had white energy on the edges and tip, it was also vibrating, the Count of Saint Germain had a purple energy blade, shaped like his older saber, its grip and guard were silver, and Tom had a red lightsaber with a black handle. The three cut the vines and Libra screams in pain as they were cut and he burned, but he quickly regenerated. Volvox looks around and saw Libra was being powered by the sun, Libra laughed at him, "Foolish mortals, plants are eternal." Libra said, "Swamp Thing, we need you." Volvox said, Libra smiled and showed Swamp Thing was also under his command, he begins to make the humanoid plants move around. The humanoid plants begin destroying the country's technology, the people screamed, the machines begin having lights of multiple colors flash rapidly in their eyes', the humanoid plants were not stunned by them. Volvox looks around and sees a lot of clouds in the sky, he uses telekinesis to move them and block out the sun from his country. Libra grunts and his powers weaken, "Should've had the plants attack us instead of using them to destroy technology." Volvox said, Libra was in complete shock, "I... didn't think of that." Libra said, the five shake their heads, "Please, don't put me in the cold." Libra said, "It's not the cold you should be worried about, it's the heat." Volvox replied, Libra became shocked. Volvox shoots fire out of his three mouths and burns Libra, he screams in pain, Tom places the lightsaber on Libra's plants to burn them. Libra keeps burning and he was charred, he falls onto the ground and was dead, "Okay, two down, ten to go." Volvox said, "Yup, let's upgrade our gear first, Giovi's blades aren't working." Tom replied, the others agreed, "Ahem." Princess Celestia said, and the five look at her, she was glaring at them, Volvox uses his telekinesis to move the clouds, the five leave and go elsewhere. Rarity was teaching her class and was uncomfortable with the dung beetles in her classroom, "I'm sorry to you two, but I am not comfortable having bugs in my environment." Rarity said, "It's not the first time, some people are scared of bugs." Scarab replied, "Not just bugs, people are also scared of animals." Zira said, "Well, let's get on topic, what kind of fashion do you all have?" Rarity asked, "Our species doesn't make clothes." Zerbebuth replied, surprising Rarity, "You all don't have fashion?" Rarity asked, "Don't have the time, we're being attacked by dangerous animals all the time, so we're busy defending our homes." Zancrus replied, "Did you all develop fashion when you went to their planet?" Rarity asked, "Nope, Earth has dangerous creatures, too." Zerbebuth replied, "I see, what about you mutants?" Rarity asked, "We're the same as the humans for now, but we're working on creating our own clothes, I mean, we are all different from one another in physical appearances." Ivan replied, the others smile, "What about the rest of you?" Rarity asked, "Animals don't have fashion, anything we wear is because the humans put it on us." Cecil replied, "Neither do the bugs." Scarab said, "Nope, plants don't wear clothes." Periwinkle said, "We're too small to wear clothes." Flagellum said, "The machines only wear clothes when in hostile and hazardous environments." T-1850 said, "You all don't have fashion?" Sandbar asked, "Nope." Model X replied, "It's okay, neither do we." Ocellus said, "You mean your species?" Grid asked, "Yes, we don't wear clothes." Ocellus replied, "I hate to interrupt, but we are not learning generosity." Darwin said, "Oh yes, of course, I would like for you all to share your supplies while designing your outfits." Rarity replied, and they do. Zerbebuth and Zancrus had trouble, Flagellum and Cilia did not work due to the supplies being too big for them to use, their telekinesis did not help them, Berberis and Periwinkle worked nervously as well, making sure a needle does not cut them, the students help them. The bell rung after a few hours, "Let's see what you all made." Rarity said, and she saw only the humans made clothes, the other creatures who worked made a mess, Rarity chuckled, "It's alright, dears, sewing took me a long time to master, too, onto your next class now, darlings." Rarity said, and they go to their next class. The students walk to class but they stop and look at Volvox's country, they see the destruction, "What's going on in your country?" Silverstream asked, "We're at war with a hostile species." Darwin replied, "Yona want know what species is." Yona said, "Gremlins." Ivan replied, "What are those?" Sandbar asked, "Creatures that cause mischief and sabotage technology, like the devilgors, they're aliens from other planets." Darwin replied, "Well, we don't really have that much technology, so we shouldn't have a problem with them." Smolder said, "We did notice you guys have trains, the gremlins are going to try to make it speed up and fly off the tracks." Marie replied, shocking the Young Six, "Can they really sabotage that train?" Gallus asked, "Of course, they destroyed our technology easily, so they'll be able to destroy yours." Darwin replied, "You guys have trains, too?" Silverstream asked excitedly, "More than that." Ivan replied, "What about you alien guys, how did you all get to the humans?" Ocellus asked, "Our planet was conquered by the gremlins, they would kidnap us and take us to their home planet to make us work as slaves, we tried to sabotage their spaceships to escape, but we ended up crashing on Earth, at first, the gremlins destroyed human technology, but they grew to like it, and started doing it as a pastime, they have caused several disasters, especially plane crashes." Zerbebuth said, "What's a plane?" Smolder asked, "Well, it's a vehicle that can fly." Darwin replied, "You all have flying trains?!" Silverstream asked excitedly while she flew in the air with her hands on her cheeks, "No, it's not a flying train, it's completely different." Darwin replied, "So, when did you natives find out about the gremlins and devilgors?" Ocellus asked, "March 27, 1977, Tenerife, Canary Islands, it was when the gremlins made the humans have the worst disaster in aviation history." Darwin replied, shocking the Young Six, "What happened?!" Silverstream asked, "There were two planes set to take off, the KLM Flight 4805, and the Pan Am Flight 1736, it was foggy that day, and more planes than usual were coming in because of a terrorist incident, which blocked the taxiway, and forced planes to taxi on the runway. Because of the fog, the planes and towers could not see one another, the gremlins used that chance to take out the towers' staff and take over the air controls, they ordered the Pan onto the runway, and then ordered the KLM captain to take off, he did, but due to the fog, he did not see the other plane, and they collided with one another and exploded, five hundred eighty three people died from the accident." Darwin explained, the Young Six had horrified faces, "Good Celestia." Sandbar said, "That's horrible." Ocellus said, "Did you all find out what happened to the staff?" Gallus asked, "They were found dead in the tower when Volvox and Dommiel went to investigate the crash, that was also when we learned of the devilgors and their enslavement to the gremlins, Volvox was nice enough to keep them in hiding from the gremlins." Darwin replied, Zerbebuth and Zancrus smiled. They all head to their next class but saw the Mane Six looking at them with shocked faces along with Spike and Starlight Glimmer, "I can't believe it, we have never had a vehicle disaster, I am so sorry." Twilight Sparkle said, "Come on, y'all, mah class is next, let's go." Applejack said, and they follow her. Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom walk around and upgraded their gear, since they were the rulers, and were at war, everything was free for them, Dommiel had a futuristic version of his armor, with the spikes and horns on his armor being made of lasers, the Count of Saint Germain replaced with his revolver with a phaser pistol, and it had a laser weapon under it as a secondary weapon, Giovi replaced the knife blades he had for his claws with small red lightsabers, and Tom had himself given bio-armor, "Alright, I can't wait to test these out." Dommiel said, "Me neither, these look fun." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Well, let's go, then, let's look for some gremlins to use them on." Volvox said, and they walk together. The five keep walking and see the gremlins were causing trouble already, they were destroying the technology, "Yes, keep going, my minions, destroy their technology, show these foul humans they are weaker and dumber than the devilgors." the Gremlin King said, they look and saw him on a giant humanoid gremlin's head, the gremlin was as big as Volvox. The Gremlin King sees them and becomes scared, "Get rid of them, Sagittarius!" the Gremlin King said, and he jumped off of him, he lands on the ground and runs away. Sagittarius roared at them, "Sagittarius mad! Sagittarius smash!" Sagittarius said in a deep voice, "And I thought you were going to be one of the last gremlins we'd have to fight." Volvox said, and Sagittarius ran to him while screaming. Sagittarius holds his arms out and was about to attack Volvox, but Volvox stood up on his hind legs and grabbed Sagittarius' hands with his front feet, and the two wrestle. The Count of Saint Germain tries shooting Sagittarius in his right calf with his phaser pistol to stun him, it did nothing, so he switched it vaporize mode, it burned him a little, but he instantly healed, the Count of Saint Germain was surprised and tried using the laser on his gun, it also had no effect. Giovi tries using his new lightsabers on Sagittarius, it also did nothing to him, so he tried using telekinesis to throw objects at his head, whatever hit him just broke and did not distract him, he tried to use his fire magic but could not, he exhales a little and tries to think of something. Tom activates his black bio-armor and had blades in his forearms, he tries to slash Sagittarius with them, it did nothing, he also tried the beams in his suit's red eyes and fires them at Sagittarius, it did nothing, his hide was too tough, so Tom tried using his lightsaber, he hit Sagittarius in his left leg, it did nothing, so he put it away, and began punching as fast as he could, the bio-armor increased his physical abilities, that also did nothing, Tom grunted with slight annoyance, he looks and saw the Count of Saint Germain was trying his laser sword, it also did nothing. Dommiel was getting used to his new armor and tried flying around with the rockets in his boots, his armor automatically locks onto Sagittarius, his shoulder pads open and fire missiles at him, it had no effect, "Cool, I have rocket launchers in my shoulders." Dommiel said, "Now's not the time, Dommiel, take him out as soon as possible." Volvox replied as he wrestled with Sagittarius. Dommiel focuses and he locks onto him again, the six spikes on his shoulders detach and fly around, they shoot pink beams at him, "Awesome! I can beam spam!" Dommiel said, and he decided to try something with the three horns on his helmet, they all shoot out a big blast, it obliterated whatever was in its path. Dommiel keeps testing out his new armor and the rocket boots go out, but a jetpack comes out of his scapulae and were anti-gravity, "Anti-gravity jetpack? Cool." Dommiel said, he felt something in his feet, his suit automatically locks onto Sagittarius again, his feet point towards him and Dommiel shoots a rocket out of each foot, this made him excited, he decides to see what else he has. Dommiel sees he had guns on his forearms, they aim automatically and fire hollow point bullets at Sagittarius, they bounce off of him, Dommiel discovers that was all he had, much to his disappointment, but he flies to Sagittarius and tries to slash him with his high frequency energy blade, it could not cut Sagittarius' hide, much to his shock. Volvox continues wrestling with Sagittarius and realizes not only was it going nowhere, but none of the new gear they got works against him, so Volvox jumped into the air with his hind legs. Volvox and Sagittarius go through the air and everybody saw them, causing some to gasp. Sagittarius was about to hit the road and some of the traveling tubes, but he lowers his legs and lands on the back perfectly, with his back bent at a ninety degree angle. Sagittarius moves his arms to his head and throws Volvox over himself, but he lands on his hind feet. Volvox jumps and launches himself back to where Sagittarius was at, he grabs his hands with his front feet, Sagittarius jumps and controls himself in midair and presses his feet against a skyscraper, he breaks the top of it and it falls down, Volvox lets go and Sagittarius flies back with the top piece of the skyscraper. Sagittarius crawls back to the other side and rolled to face upwards, Volvox was about to punch him with his right front foot, balled up into a fist, Sagittarius rolled to his right and dodged it, Volvox's punch broke the road, and left a giant crater in it, Volvox sees the other countries were watching, the griffons, dragons, and yaks were excited to watch the fight, while the ponies, changelings, and hippogriffs were not. Sagittarius stands back up and tries to punch Volvox with his right fist, Volvox ducks and Sagittarius hits another skyscraper, it left a crater in it, the skyscraper also fell and made other buildings fall like Domino's. Grampa Gruff, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Prince Rutherford, Garble, Gilda, and the rest of the dragons, griffons, and yaks cheered and stomped as they watched, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna watched with disapproval along with the other ponies, so did Queen Novo and Princess Skystar and the rest of the hippogriffs, Princess Cadence watched with worry, worried about the citizens, while King Thorax and the changelings watched with fear. Volvox tries to make his three heads burrow into the ground, but he could not due to it being a magical move, so he just grabs Sagittarius' sides and throws him onto the ground, Sagittarius grunted a bit, he looks and became shocked when he saw Volvox has jumped into the air, and was about to body slam him. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna had horrified faces at what Volvox was about to do, his size was going to break a lot of things in his country. Sagittarius throws Volvox off and he hits one of the tubes people were in for traveling, they scream as they fall out, Sagittarius jumps and snarls, he was going to slash him with his claws. Volvox turns around and uses the tip of his tail to impale Sagittarius, he screams when he got stabbed in the abdomen, the dragons, griffons, and yaks look away. Volvox turns around while swinging his tail with his body, he throws Sagittarius into a building, he uses his fire breath and destroys Sagittarius. The dragons, griffons, and yaks cheer at Volvox winning, while the ponies, changelings, and hippogriffs were not happy with him, he and his four friends leave to go take out another gremlin commander. Applejack teachers her class and was teaching them all honesty, "Be careful when y'all use honesty, it can hurt others' feelings if yer too direct." Applejack said, "Actually, about that, before us humans merged our cultures together, our views on honesty was different for each culture." Darwin replied, exciting the students, "You humans have more than one culture?!" Silverstream asked excitedly, "Used to, we merged them all into one." Marie replied, "What? Why?" Sandbar asked, "Humans have had hundreds of cultural clashes in the past, not just culture, religion and beliefs, too, so we decided to come together, take all of our cultures and religions, and fuse them into one, it stopped most of the cultural clashes, but there is still some, and some humans want the cultures to separate and individual again, as well." Darwin replied, "Seriously? You all fused your cultures together to avoid cultural clashes?" Gallus asked, "Wars have started in our history because of cultural and religious differences, the last thing we want is another war as long as the Iberian Religious Wars." Marie replied, shocking the natives, "Whoa, hold on a sec, y'all actually went to war against different beliefs and values?" Applejack asked, Darwin and Marie nodded, "In a way, that includes the mutants, too, since they used to be human." Ivan said, "Not just people, animals used to go to war, too, for food, expanding territory, dominance, and taking over territories." Cecil said, "Against people?" Silverstream asked, "Well, humans and mutants are animals, but no, other fauna, ants used to attack termites, hornets used to kill honeybees, and chimpanzees would attack neighboring chimpanzee groups." Zira replied, shocking the natives, "Well, back to the honesty thing, as we said, each human culture sees honesty differently, in some cultures, they value being direct and brutally honest, while other cultures value being honest, but using the right words so they do not hurt other people's feelings." Darwin said, "Trust me, y'all, Ah learned that the hard way." Applejack replied, "What about the rest of you, did you all go to war, too?" Ocellus asked, "Yup, the worst war we had was when the plants and animals of Earth went to war against one another." Berberis replied, "Yeah, several plants and animals went extinct in that war." Periwinkle said, "There was a three-way war with the animals once, it was a war between herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores." Zira said, "There has been several wars between microorganisms as well." Flagellum said, "When machines developed their own AI, a war between organic life and mechanical life broke out, Volvox had to get involved to stop it." Grid said, "Bugs go to war, too, same reasons as animals." Scarab said, "Yeah, it is to eat sometimes, too." Sacer said, "What about you devilgors?" Smolder asked, "Nope, it shocked us when we learned about human wars, our species have never fought our own species, we work together to survive, the only war we've had is with the gremlins." Zerbebuth replied, "Was it bad?" Sandbar asked, "Yes, we were shocked when we learned about the Holocaust, it was the exact same things the gremlins did to us." Zancrus replied, confusing the natives, "Is there anything else to learn about honesty?" Cilia asked, "Not really, but if y'all want to, y'all can watch me buck some apples." Applejack replied, the natives cheered, while the foreigners were neutral. Applejack kicks the apples while the natives cheered, the foreigners just watched stoically, "Ain't y'all havin' fun?" Applejack asked, "We eat apples, not kick them." Zerbebuth replied, "Y'all wanna try?" Applejack asked, the aliens shrug and Zancrus went first, she kicked one apple with her right foot, the apple and desk flew into the wall and cracked it, shocking the natives, "Guess I'll go next." Zerbebuth said, and he kicks another apple and desk, they also went into the wall, surprising everyone, Berberis and Periwinkle were uncomfortable, they did notice the apples looked like Red Delicious apples, which was liked by many. The bell rung after several minutes, "Have fun, y'all, onto yer next classes now." Applejack said, "Come on, guys, I think you all will like Rainbow Dash." Gallus said, and they go to her class. Volvox and his four friends were meeting a hybrid named Harvey, he was part human, part mutant, part machine, and part alien, he was about six feet tall, had slightly tan skin, an ectomorph body, toned muscles, an oblong face shape, and short black hair. The upper-right part of Harvey's face was robotic, made out of silver metal, and had a red slanted eye, his left cheek was alien with dark red skin, his human eye was blue, his right foot was a devilgor's foot with the claws for his toenails, while his left foot was robotic and silver, his right hand was robotic, and could change to a gun, his left hand was alien with the dark red and dark orange skin with black claws, he had the wings of the devilgors coming out of his back, they had silver robotic parts on them, gills on the sides of his neck, Harvey's abdomen was silver and metallic in some places, dark red with alien skin in other areas, and the rest was fine, and he had the devilgor's tail coming out of his tailbone, Harvey could make the three horns of the devilgors extrude from his head at will, it was one of the four mutant qualities he got, the other three were having telekinesis, telepathy, and technopathy, Harvey only had on one piece of clothing, a black pair of pants that were ripped at his lower shins. Harvey was from another world, he became a hybrid due to human experimentation, the world he was from had humans, mutants, machines, and aliens in it, the aliens were also devilgors. Hybrids were shunned by society, they were wanted dead by the government, and those who wished to live were slaves, everybody was divided by species, each one had discrimination, the humans had discrimination against white people, the mutants had discrimination against males, the machines had discrimination against the lower-class, and the aliens had discrimination against children. Harvey was a sympathizer for the hybrids, which made him kidnapped by the government and he was sentenced to death, but the head scientist of the world, Daraster, checked Harvey's genetic code, and took him in, he experimented on Harvey and made him into what he is now, he was trying to make Harvey into the Ultimate Being, but he broke free just before Daraster could erase his memory and brainwash him into believing he is Daraster's personal slave and assassin. Harvey fought the government and Daraster to free the hybrids, he met four allies, who were also sympathizers, they were Darwin, Ivan, T-1850, and Zerbebuth, the five worked together to fight for the hybrids' freedom and Harvey escaped to the world he was in now, in his early years, he met a woman named Orchid, who was from another world, but her world used magic, she controlled fire, water, earth, wind, and lightning. Harvey and Orchid had a child and named him Nick, having him was Harvey's idea. Nick did not have a happy childhood, his mother did not spend much time with him, and Harvey embarrassed him with the stories he told about his past, nobody believed him. When Nick turned eighteen, Daraster found Harvey in this world and killed him with poison, he also killed Orchid as a way of tying up loose ends, Darwin, Ivan, T-1850, and Zerbebuth were dead at that time. Before Harvey died, he told Nick about a house in the woods that he and Orchid built together, they put the things they wanted to leave behind in their old lives there, he told Nick about a portal that will take him to his home world, and for him to go there. Nick got kidnapped by Daraster as soon as he entered the world and received the same experimentation as Harvey, after a while, Nick went to Orchid's home world, and with magic and science, made an antidote, he went back in time and gave it to his parents, they survived the poisoning, and Nick went back to the present. Nick met a boy named Lance during his travels in his father's home world, he was also experimented on, Nick adopted him, and they have been close, Harvey now lives with the two and Orchid, even though her powers do not work anymore. Volvox was looking for Harvey's world, but did not find it yet, and he was seeing him for another matter, "So, you're saying if the reviews on the school is good, Nick will go there?" Harvey asked, "Correct, I might have Lance go there, too." Volvox replied, "Okay, that'll work, they drive Orchid crazy sometimes, also, is there a spot for me in the Council, yet?" Harvey asked, "Not yet, we need a female hybrid like you, first, before we can let you join." Dommiel replied, "Yeah, I know." Harvey said, "If you want to, you can be an adviser to us." Tom replied, "I'll think about it, I still have to watch over Nick and Lance." Harvey said, Nick had a square face shape, short black hair, and blue eyes, he wore the same outfit was his father, along with black mid-calf length boots, and a black leather jacket, Lance had a rectangular face shape, short black hair, and only wore black pants, he had the exact same mutations as Harvey, and did not hide them. They hear noises outside and go out, they saw Nick and Lance were already looking, "Where's your wife?" Tom asked, "She's still asleep." Harvey replied, "Hey, uh... dad, there's a gremlin there." Nick said, the six look and saw the Gremlin King, "That's the king." Volvox said, "What's he doing here?" Lance asked, "Let's check." Harvey replied, and he and Lance flew up, Nick makes his mutations appear, it was the same as Harvey's and Lance's, and he flew up. The eight look together and saw the Gremlin King was using a telescope, "Wow, look at those nine planets, they look like they're worth enslaving as well." the Gremlin King said, Harvey got an idea, "Hey, uh, sir, you're using the wrong one." Harvey said, the Gremlin King looked at him, "Wait, I am?" the Gremlin King asked, Harvey nodded, "Nick, Lance, get the smell-o-scope." Harvey said, the two nodded and they flew away, they came back with a big, black smell-o-scope, the two put it down in front of him. Harvey flew to it and adjusted it, "There, this will allow you to smell life on other planets, go on and give it a try." Harvey said, and the Gremlin King put his nostrils on the two scopes and inhaled. The Gremlin King gags at what he smelled, it smelled like a silent fart, "What is that stench?!" the Gremlin King asked, "You just smelled Uranus." Harvey replied, Volvox and the others laugh, so did the citizens. Princess Cadence walked out onto her kingdom's balcony and glared at Volvox's kingdom, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were glaring at them as well, the people in the School of Friendship also heard them, the members of the Council were laughing, with the machines pretending to laugh, Twilight Sparkle had a shocked face while Applejack shook her head, Rarity was also shocked, Fluttershy did not know how to respond, while Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie chuckled. The Gremlin King screams with rage, "VIRGO, GET RID OF THEM!!" the Gremlin King yelled, and the humanoid gremlin appeared, wearing bio-armor that was dark green on every area except his chest and abdomen, which was silver, the area of his eyes were a light pink, "I am Kamen Rider Gremlin." Virgo said while posing, the others were unimpressed, "Let's see what you can do." Tom said, and he activated his bio-armor. Tom and Leo run to one another and begin fighting, they were just punching and slapping one another for the moment, they were not doing anything for the moment. Virgo shoots beams out of a silver sphere in his forehead, Tom got hit, it burned his armor, but did no real damage, Tom shot blasts out of the sphere in his forehead, Virgo screamed in pain while part of his armor broke, Tom stopped and realized Virgo's armor was plastic, Tom looked at Virgo while bewildered, "No! That was my best piece." Virgo said as he looked at the armor from his abdomen, the others look at him disapprovingly, "What?" Virgo asked, "Upgrade your gear, poser." Tom replied, Virgo was very offended, he activates a jetpack and rockets in his boots to fly away. The five chase him while Harvey, Nick, and Lance stayed behind, they see him enter a turbine plane, they were not surprised when they see it might not big enough for Volvox to enter, but he tried after the other four did, he just barely squeezed in. The plane takes off and they see there were no passengers, "Wait, something's wrong." Volvox said, "Look, there are gremlins on the wings." Dommiel replied, they look and saw small gremlins taking the wings apart, Giovi ran into the pilot's room and saw the gremlins were operating the plane and laughing, he cut them apart with his lightsaber blades. The five look inside and saw no one was controlling the plane now, and they were very high in the air, they could see the space station, and to the five surprises, the plane was controlled with a steering wheel and had the three pedals of an automobile. Virgo laughs manically as he goes onto the window to block the view, "That's right! This was the plan, even you five can't survive a plane crash!" Virgo said, "Tom, quick, land the plane." Volvox said, Tom went into the pilot's seat and was shocked to see the many controls, "We don't have anything this advanced from my original timeline." Tom said, "Let me see it." the Count of Saint Germain replied as he ran into the room, he saw the controls, "Good god, I don't know how to control this, either." the Count of Saint Germain said, "What about you three?" Tom asked, Volvox, Dommiel, and Giovi shook their heads, Virgo laughs, "That's what you get from coming from the past, technology has progressed greatly, you five will never learn how to control them!" Virgo said, "Screw it! I'm going to have to wing it." Tom said, and he grabbed the steering wheel, and pressed down on the brake pedal first, the plane began to slow down, he switches to the driver pedal and the plane speeds up, he moves the steering wheel towards himself and the plane goes up, he moves away and the plane began to do a nosedive, "Okay, I can do this." Tom said, and he began to control the plane, Virgo was about to run off the plane, but Volvox uses telekinesis to hold him in place, he also turns him around for him to see what comes in front of him. Virgo screams as Tom speeds up, his entire armor breaks off from the high winds, Virgo screams while he got frostbites on his body. Tom dives down while accelerating, he pulled up just when he was about to crash into the road, the world's natives see the plane, and were very shocked, they have never seen such a vehicle. Tom keeps driving forward while Volvox held Virgo with his telekinesis, they see someone's house up ahead, Virgo screams while Tom keeps accelerating and Volvox jumps out of the top of the plane while using telekinesis on the other four to pull them out, the plane crashes into the house and explodes, killing Virgo in the process. The world's natives look at the explosion, those who could fly flew up and looked on with shock at seeing the fire. The five went down with Volvox's telekinesis, "Okay, let's find out whose house this is." Volvox said, and they all look, they saw the mailbox, they became shocked when they discover they have crashed the plane into Joseph Joestar's house, "Quick, let's get out of here before he finds out." Volvox said, and they quickly leave. Rainbow Dash tried to teach her class while her classmates talked about the plane crash, which she was curious about as well, "What was that thing that crashed over there?" Silverstream asked, "That was a plane." Lizmarie replied, "Oh, so that's what a plane looks like, it looks like it can carry people." Smolder said, "It does, they can hold every student in this school." Darwin replied, "That sounds like so much fun, I wanna ride in one!" Silverstream said, "You need money to enter." Zerbebuth replied, "Enough about the crash, guys, let's finish today's lesson on loyalty and teamwork." Rainbow Dash said, "Uh, we're already loyal to one another." Flagellum replied, "Yeah, I mean, we help one another with running the country." Sacer said, "How often do you break up your friendships?" Rainbow Dash asked, "That's actually never happened before." Darwin replied, "Oh." Rainbow Dash said, she did not know what to teach them, "Let's hear about you, you look like an interesting individual." Zerbebuth said, Rainbow Dash became happy, "I am a Wonderbolt, they are only the coolest group of fliers in Equestria, and I'm the personification of coolness." Rainbow Dash replied, "How so?" Zancrus asked, "I'm the only one who can perform the Sonic Rainboom, I save people from danger, I've saved this land several times, and I love fun things." Rainbow Dash replied, "Do you like fighting tournaments?" Zancrus asked, "Heck yeah." Rainbow Dash replied, "Then perhaps you would be qualified for our next fighting tournament." Zerbebuth said, "Count me in." Rainbow Dash replied, the others smile, "What do you guys do for fun?" Ocellus asked, "Same thing as you guys, make art, hang out, sing, play games, converse." Darwin replied, the bell rung afterwards, "This is the last class, everycreature, time for you all to head home, as for you aliens, come with me, Head Mare Twilight wants to have a word with you guys." Rainbow Dash said, and they all leave the class. The foreigners go to Twilight Sparkle's office, Spike and Starlight Glimmer were with her, "Did you all enjoy it here?" Twilight Sparkle asked, they all agreed, "Great, now that you guys have finished, I'd like to learn about your guys' culture as well." Twilight Sparkle said, "Uh, you do realize there are some you won't be able to learn about, right?" Flagellum asked, "How so?" Spike asked, "Well, first of all, our kind are microscopic, you can't see us with your own eyes." Cilia replied, "Don't worry, we developed a spell that does allow us to see you guys." Starlight Glimmer said, "It probably won't work." Darwin replied, "Why not?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "On our world, magic is a non-renewable resource, once it's used up, it's gone for good, but we discovered that magic came from nature, we destroyed nature to evolve, and magic is gone as well, so it is unlikely your magic will work in our country." Grid replied, "Oh, I see, I also brought someone over to help us understand your country better." Twilight Sparkle said, and they see Sunset Shimmer walk forward, "This is Sunset Shimmer, she's from another world of humans, she's going to go to your country along with us to learn, I was going to have Doctor Whooves come, but he has disappeared without a trace, again." Twilight Sparkle said, "Hey, guys, my name's Sunset Shimmer, I'm a friend of Twilight's, I live with humans, and know about your guys' technology, I'll explain things to them, and I hope we get along." Sunset Shimmer said, "Anybody else coming?" Berberis asked, "We're all going." Spike replied, "Oh yeah, Sunburst is coming, too, so is Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle." Starlight Glimmer said, "Let's go then." Darwin said, and they leave. The foreigners see Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Sunburst, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Sandbar, Gallus, Smolder, Ocellus, Yona, and Silverstream were together, "Alright, who are you new guys?" Lizmarie asked, "I'm Sunburst." Sunburst replied, "Ah'm Apple Bloom." Apple Bloom said, "I'm Scootaloo." Scootaloo said, "I'm Sweetie Belle." Sweetie Belle said, "Okay, this way." Darwin said, and they all walk together. Volvox and the other four went back to go see Harvey, Nick, and Lance, Orchid was still asleep, "How did that plane crash not wake your wife up?" Tom asked, "Well, if I had to take a guess, this world having no magic exhausts her even faster, her world was full of it." Harvey replied, "Speaking of other worlds, we haven't found yours yet." the Count of Saint Germain said, "I hope we can, Daraster still controls the government, the hybrids are still shunned by society and enslaved." Harvey replied, "I'll be going, too, dad." Nick said, he had on another black jacket and boots, his pants did not rip when he mutated, "I'll go, too." Lance said, "You've changed a lot, Nick, back when you were a toddler, you never wanted to spend time with me, and wanted to see your mom, but she always told you to see me." Harvey said, "That's because I didn't believe you back then, dad, all of this talk about these robots and aliens in the world, and people who were hybrids of them being shunned by society, along with experimentation, you embarrassed me to no end in school when you talked about them in class, but when I went to your world, I realized you were right, your stories were actually true, and I grew to regret not spending time with you before you died." Nick replied, "I showed Nick as well, I also told him about the beef my parents had with you, Harvey." Lance said, "Yes, I know, your parents agreed with society that the hybrids deserved what they got, those two were some of my worst enemies." Harvey replied, "If possible, I'd like to find mom's world, too, I had a lot of friends there." Nick said, "Yes, we know, we'll try to find it if we can." Volvox replied, Nick smiled. A phone implanted in the table between the five and Harvey rings, the future had telecommunication in everything found in the homes of the people, Harvey answers it with technopathy, "Hello." Harvey said, "This is Grid, analysis on the School of Friendship is complete, reviews are positive." Grid replied, "Alright, we already decided to have Nick attend." Volvox said, "Understood, the foreigners are now coming to our country to learn about us, we might cross paths." Grid replied, "Alright, thanks. Bye, Grid." Harvey said, "Bye." Grid replied, and they end the conversation. They hear walking and they saw Orchid come, she had pale skin, an inverted triangle face, green eyes, and red hair that was a bob and went just past her ears, she was wearing a long-sleeve shirt, pants, and shoes, she had on a cape that went halfway down her back, they were all a light beige color, she had five small jewels that were circular in the center of her chest on her shirt, they formed a star, the left jewel was a red ruby, the lower-left jewel was a yellow topaz, the lower-right jewel was a green emerald, the right jewel was a blue sapphire, and the top jewel was a purple amethyst, each jewel represented one of the five elements Orchid controlled, the ruby represented fire, the topaz represented earth, the sapphire represented water, the emerald represented wind, and the amethyst represented lightning. Orchid walked forward while stumbling around, "Who just called?" Orchid asked tiredly, "Grid, they were talking about sending Nick to a new school." Harvey replied, "Really? Tell them they have my approval." Orchid said tiredly, "I'm surprised you don't have any bed hair, mom." Nick said, "Not the time, Nick." Orchid replied tiredly, "You want to go back to bed, Orchid?" Dommiel asked, "No, I'm fine, but for some reason, I have almost no energy in this country, I think it might be due to the lack of magic." Orchid replied tiredly, "Well, we are in a foreign land with magic, right now." Volvox said, "I'll try my magic later." Orchid replied tiredly, and she sat to Harvey's left, "How long has she been like this, Harvey?" Tom asked, "Quite some time now, she usually has a lot of energy, though." Harvey replied, "I still wish mom would spend more time with me." Nick said, "I have no reason to, Nick, having you was your father's idea." Orchid replied tiredly, "So, you don't love me?" Nick asked, "No, Nick, I do, I love you in my own way, it's just I prefer to be alone." Orchid replied tiredly, "Oh." Nick said, "Do you love me?" Lance asked, "Well, I guess, I mean Harvey and Nick like having you around." Orchid replied tiredly, Lance smiled. Loud noises of things breaking were heard outside and the five go out, they look and see water spilling into the land, they look and see the underwater city was being attacked by gremlins. The gremlins entered through the tubes that led to the underwater city, they saw the Gremlin King leading the attack, Flibbertigibbet was there as well, "Yes, go, my servants, take out the tubes so we may have water on land!" the Gremlin King said, "Daddy, look at me." Flibbertigibbet said, she was destroying the oxygen machines in the underwater city, "That's my girl." the Gremlin King said, the humans and some of the mutants begin to suffocate, Volvox, Dommiel, and Giovi use their telekinesis to pull the suffocating humans into the tubes and out onto land. The Gremlin King sees them, "Aquarius, deal with them!" the Gremlin King said, he and the other gremlins begin to suffocate from the lack of oxygen, so did Flibbertigibbet, the five hope he would die, but he made it out with the tubes, which made them except for Giovi to groan with disappointment, Giovi just looked down. The mutants, machines, and aliens swimming in the water began to get attacked, they see Aquarius in the water, he looked just like any humanoid gremlin, "Give up, there's no escape." Aquarius said as he swam to the machines and began taking them apart. The Mane Six, Young Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and the Council see Aquarius attacking the people in the water. Darwin activated his bio-armor, it was black with red eyes, he dived into the water with Zerbebuth, Zancrus, T-1850, Model X, and Grid, Ivan, Lizmarie, Flagellum, and Cilia used their telekinesis to get the citizens out of the water, Ocellus and Silverstream changed into seaponies to help. Tom activated his bio-armor and went into the water with Dommiel, they were going to fight Aquarius, Volvox can breathe in water and space, but was too big to go to the underwater city, while the Count of Saint Germain and Giovi could not breathe underwater. Dommiel and Tom go to Aquarius and he sees them coming, "Tom, Dommiel, are you two here to play executioner? All five of you should've came." Aquarius said, "Let's see what you got." Tom replied, and he fired beams from his eyes, Aquarius swam around and dodged them, he swam towards them and tried to slash them with his claws, the two dodged him with some difficulty, "Finally, a challenging foe." Dommiel said, "Yup, this might be interesting." Tom replied, Aquarius smiled and swam towards them and continued to try to slash them, Tom and Dommiel decided not to use their weapons to make the fight fair, they try to attack Aquarius with their fists and feet, but they were too slow in the water, Aquarius hits them with his fists, the two grunt as they were pushed back, the water did not slow him down. Aquarius swam to them and continued punching and kicking them, Volvox was getting impatient and used telekinesis in the underwater city's museum of marine animals, they were cryogeneically frozen to be studied. He controls some of the marine animals telepathically, they break out of the ice and swim to Aquarius. Aquarius was winning against Tom and Dommiel, he was about to go to them, but got restrained by Ocellus and Silverstream, who grabbed his arms, "Hey, Aquarius, you do know what kind of dangerous animals lurk in the water, right?" Volvox asked, Aquarius looked at him with confusion. Aquarius hears swimming behind him, he looks and saw a megalodon swimming to him. Aquarius, Ocellus, and Silverstream scream in horror at seeing it, the three swim away and the megalodon chases Aquarius, Volvox was controlling it telepathically, Ocellus and Silverstream went back to the others. Aquarius swims frantically while the megalodon chased him, he hears roaring to his left and he looked, he saw a mosasaurus swimming to him, Aquarius became horrified and swam faster, he hears roaring to his right and he looked, he saw a basilosaurus swimming towards him, he screamed with horror and swam faster while the three ancient fossils chased him. Aquarius swam as fast he could, he hears more swimming and saw a dunkleosteus coming to him, Aquarius got scared and kept swimming, he heard growling in front of him and saw a sarcosuchus swimming to him, Aquarius swam as fast as he could while screaming and the five animals chased him. Aquarius panted and swam with terror while the five prehistoric animals chased him, the Mane Six run to where he was swimming and were scared of them eating Aquarius. Aquarius swam into a museum that was partially underwater, and the five animals could not get him, Volvox stops controlling them telepathically, the five animals began banging on the museum in hopes of breaking it, Aquarius climbed onto the top of the one of the ships while scared. Fluttershy sees the five animals and tried to call out to them, "They can't hear me." Fluttershy said, "Silverstream, get the hippogriffs here to help." Twilight Sparkle said, and Silverstream flew to her home, she came back with the hippogriffs and they turn into seaponies and go into the water, they tame the five prehistoric animals and bring them up to the surface, Fluttershy converses with them and they settle down, "We have never seen such creatures." Queen Novo said, "They're from our world." Darwin replied, "They're scary looking, we have whales from where we live." Princess Skystar said, "I'd like to know what they are." Terramar said, the hippogriffs agreed, Grid explained to them. Tom and Dommiel swam to where Aquarius went and entered the museum, they saw him on the wooden ship, they see it was a traditional ship. The two get on and control it, they go out and see they were sailing, "Volvox, let's end this." Tom said, and Volvox used his telekinesis to make the ship go faster and into the air. Dommiel found two sabers and threw one to Aquarius, the two begin fencing while Tom steered the ship, he was having trouble focusing because he wanted to watch the duel, but knew he had to focus. Dommiel and Aquarius move around the ship while fencing, the two were on the bowsprit and keep fencing, the two were not struggling. Dommiel hits the saber out of Aquarius' right hand and it went down, Aquarius lost his balance and fell, he screamed as well, Tom sees Aquarius land on the road and he died from the impact, "Tom! Skyscraper!" Dommiel said, he looks and he screamed with shock, the ship goes through the skyscraper and got stuck in it. Volvox, the Count of Saint Germain, and Giovi walked to them, Volvox used telekinesis to get Dommiel and Tom down, "Okay, one more, and we'll be halfway done." the Count of Saint Germain said, "No, wait just a minute." Princess Celestia said, she flew into their country and walked to them, "How did that happen?" Princess Celestia asked while she pointed her front left hoof to the ship that was lodged into the skyscraper, "Uh... technical difficulties." Tom replied, Princess Celestia glared at him, "I don't think so." Princess Celestia said, "It's possible, we do have vehicles that travel by land, sky, and sea." Dommiel replied, "Three separate vehicles?" Princess Celestia asked, "No, just one." Dommiel replied, Princess Celestia was surprised, "I see, but this better not happen again, you guys have been distracting us all day." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away, the five left to go hunt down more gremlins. The Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer arrive into the area where the humans live, the machines finished talking about the five prehistoric animals quite quickly, "Wow, what diversity." Twilight Sparkle said, "As we said, we used to have hundreds of cultures." Darwin replied, "Wait? What in tarnation?" Applejack asked, she noticed the weather was different in some areas, some areas were sunny, the farms had rain above them, and there was an area with snow, "What's wrong?" Marie asked, "The weather." Applejack replied, "Oh, you see, we managed to find a way to control the weather through cloud seeding, it took us hundreds of years to perfect." Darwin said, "Cloud seeding? What's that?" Rainbow Dash asked, "A form of weather modification, it changes how much precipitation we receive, we have more ways of controlling the weather than that." Darwin replied, "So you guys basically have your own weather factory like us." Rainbow Dash said, "Yeah, till a certain someone destroyed it." Applejack replied, Rainbow Dash became embarrassed, "Well, let's go on and show you guys around more." Marie said, and she takes them to a restaurant. The restaurant served cuisines of all human cultures, some they liked, some they did not, "Hmm, this is so good." Silverstream said with her mouth full, she was eating Japanese ramen with udon noodles, she slurped loudly as well. Silverstream kept eating the noodles and drinking the soup, she asked for more and more since she liked it so much, "Ma'am, please keep in mind we don't have an unlimited amount." the man who served her the noodles said, Silverstream nodded, she ate and drank more and stopped, she clutched her groin with her hands, "Where's the restroom?" Silverstream asked with an embarrassed smile, "Over there to your right." the man who served her the noodles replied, and she flew there, "How much did she eat?" Gallus asked, "All the bowls are right there." Smolder replied, Gallus saw ten bowls, Silverstream came back shortly afterwards, "Are you still hungry?" the man who served her asked, "No, I'm full." Silverstream replied, and he takes the bowls. Pinkie Pie was eating all of the desserts, she was enjoying them, "More please!" Pinkie Pie said, and they served her, she paid them all whenever she was served, the waiters and waitresses were happy to be receiving a lot of money from her, they were soon out, "Come on, everyone, we have more exploring to do." Twilight Sparkle said, and they leave, they look at the clothes and Rarity was excited, "I must say, what a diverse range of outfits." Rarity said, Scootaloo gasped when she saw humans flying, "You guys can fly?" Scootaloo asked, "Yeah, either rocket boots, or anti-gravity boots." Darwin replied, "I want one." Scootaloo said, "Which one?" Darwin asked, "I'll take the anti-gravity ones." Scootaloo replied, "This way." Darwin said, and he leads her to get boots, they took her to the mutant section and found a pair for her, they put them on her hind hooves after buying it, "Now, clap your feet together to activate them." Darwin said, and she does, she floats up, she did not know how to move, "Use your hind legs to control where you want to go." Darwin said, and she does, Scootaloo was elated, "Whoo-hoo!" Scootaloo said as she flew around. Applejack walks around and sees humans working on a garden, they plant a seed into the soil, and a woman makes one drop of water fall out of the syringe, it falls onto where the seed was buried, and it grew into a fully grown plant, "Hey! Wait a minute!" Applejack said as she ran to them, "That ain't how ya grow food!" Applejack said, "Well, it is now, these were developed because humans had a lot of famine throughout history." a man replied, "That ain't the proper way to grow food!" Applejack said, "How do you do it?" a boy asked, "The good ol' fashioned way." Applejack replied, "Do you guys have animals that eat your crops?" the man asked, "Well, the bats do eat our apples sometimes." Applejack replied, "What about natural disasters?" the woman asked, "We control the weather at our home." Applejack replied, "See, we didn't have those, that's why we developed these automatic growing seeds." the woman said, "That still ain't the right way." Applejack replied, "You sure? They're edible, too. Much better replacements to GMOs." the boy said, "GMO?" Applejack asked, "Genetically Modified Organism." the woman replied, Applejack was uncomfortable, Twilight Sparkle ran to them, "Please, I must know how these were created." Twilight Sparkle said, "Why are you all excited?" the man asked, "Because this place is amazing, and has piqued my curiosity, the science here surpasses all of the science we have." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Trust us, it took us thousands of years to develop the science we have now." the man said, "Please take me around, I wanna learn more." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they show her around while Applejack looked at the grown food uncomfortably. Rainbow Dash, Spike, Gallus, and Smolder were looking at the bio-armor, "That... is... awesome!" Rainbow Dash said, "Yeah, maybe Princess Ember will like one." Spike replied, "I sure would." Gallus said, "Me too." Smolder replied, and they keep looking at them. Sandbar and Yona were listening to traditional Scottish music, Pinkie Pie was trying German desserts, Rarity loved the fashion of the British aristocracy, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle were trying the rocket boots together, Sunburst was in the library to read human literature, Twilight Sparkle was with him earlier, Starlight Glimmer learned about the different histories of the humans, Silverstream flew up into the city in the sky, but was disappointed to see it was mostly the same as the one on the ground and underwater, and Sunset Shimmer was trying out their phones and computers, she was especially impressed with how they automatically change depending on what her mind said, a helmet was worn so the phones and computers could read her brainwaves. Everybody finishes up and decide to see the mutants' culture next. Volvox walks around with Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom, the five look around and see the day was rather peaceful, they were in the area where the aliens lived, they were getting ready for their fighting tournament, "Wait, when was the fighting tournament?" Dommiel asked, "It's tomorrow." Harvey replied as he went to them, "You're helping, too?" Tom asked, "Yup, I'll be participating as well." Harvey replied, "How about your family?" Volvox asked, "No, but Nick is coming to cheer me on." Harvey replied, the five smiled, "How's your wife?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "Orchid's still tired, Nick and Lance are helping her get around." Harvey said, they see Nick and Lance were guiding Orchid by holding her hands, Orchid had almost no energy, "How does Nick look normal after changing back?" Dommiel asked, he saw Nick's mutations remained after he exposed them when he changed, "The world I'm from has this special type of spray paint that paints artificial skin onto the hybrid, they use it to hide from the government." Harvey replied, "You got it for your son?" Tom asked, "No, Nick got it for himself when he went to my world." Harvey replied, "I see. How do you feel right now, Orchid?" Volvox asked, "Still tired, but not like earlier." Orchid replied, she was not speaking tiredly anymore, "I'm surprised you didn't get mad at Grid calling us and waking you up." the Count of Saint Germain said, "It's just how I am, it's hard for me to lose my temper." Orchid replied, "I used to think my mom raising her voice at me was her getting mad at me when I was younger." Nick said, "I didn't get mad, just slightly annoyed, I never truly did yell at Nick when he was a kid." Orchid replied, "Yeah, me neither, we never got mad at Nick." Harvey said, the five smile. Everybody hears cheering and they look, they saw the gremlins, they were operating a crane, there was a piece of cinder block being held up, the Gremlin King was dancing on it. Everybody watches while the gremlins cheer, but the Gremlin King loses his balance and begins to fall, the five, Harvey, Nick, Lance, Orchid, and the aliens smile, but was saved by a flying gremlin, they groan in disappointment. The Gremlin King hears them and sees the people watching, "Attack, everybody, you lead them, Leo." the Gremlin King said, "Okay, gremlins, let's go!" Leo said, and he flew up to the city in the sky, the small gremlins were looking at him disapprovingly, "Oh right, they can't transform like me." Leo said, and he flew down, he sees Volvox and flies to him while the small gremlins try to take apart the fighting arena. Leo flies to Volvox and transforms himself into a giant gremlin with four arms, he tries to lift Volvox up, but he was too heavy, he transforms into a spinosaurus and tries to bite Volvox, Volvox held his head back, and made the seven pointed bladed stars on his spine come off. The bladed stars bounced off of whatever it hit and cut them, Leo was hit by a few, he screams in pain, he transformed into a xenomorph queen to combat Volvox, the five were unimpressed, "What?" Leo asked, "You can transform into anything, right?" Volvox asked, "Yes, anything of my imagination." Leo replied, "Well, get more creative." Dommiel said, Leo was angered, so he transformed into King Ghidorah, the people in the country scream and run away, Princess Ember and Dragon Lord Torch looked on with shock at seeing the form of King Ghidorah. Leo shoots gravity beams out of his three heads at Volvox, he tries to lift him up, but Volvox shoots his fire breaths at Leo, while the scales protected him, his three necks got burned, "I'm still not impressed." Volvox said, "But this is the best I can think of." Leo whined with his middle head, "You have a unique power, and that is the best you can make, you disappoint me." Volvox said, "What do you want me to be?" Leo asked, "A necromorph." Dommiel replied, "I don't know what that is." Leo said, the five were shocked, they saw what they were when they traveled to the current time from the past. The seven pointed stars Volvox threw off of his spine go towards Leo, but they hit his body instead of his necks, and bounce off, Leo shoots more electricity out of his three mouths, but they miss Volvox, and hit the buildings, Volvox glared at him and was unimpressed, he shot fire out of his breaths and shot him in Leo's three necks, he screamed as his three heads came off, he changed back to normal, his head was decapitated from the rest of his body, "Okay, we're halfway." the Count of Saint Germain said, "I'm disappointed to be honest, I was hoping for them to be more challenging." Dommiel replied, Giovi nodded with agreement. Everybody hears a racket in the city that was floating in the sky, the four get onto Volvox and he jumps up there to see what was wrong. Everybody goes to the mutant territory next, and to their disappointments, it was almost exactly the same as the human area in terms of culture, "That's too bad, I thought you guys would be different." Twilight Sparkle said, "Remember, we were humans before we became mutants, so our culture is mostly human culture." Ivan replied, "Still, y'all could've made your culture a bit different from the humans." Applejack said, "We did, take a look." Lizmarie replied, and they all look, every mutant was different, some had more than one head, some had an odd number of limbs, some had wings, some had gills, some had fins, some had limbs that were bigger than the other, and so on, each mutant was different, "Oh my, you all really are diverse in your appearances." Rarity said, "Yeah, the plants and animals mutated, too." Ivan replied, "What happened?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Radiation spilling, some of us had mutants for parents and ancestors, too." Ivan replied, "How did the spills happen?" Apple Bloom asked, "Power plant meltdowns." Lizmarie replied, "Oh, I shouldn't have ate all of those sweets." Pinkie Pie said as she held her own stomach with her front hooves, "I don't think you want to eat what we eat." Ivan replied, and they look, they saw the mutants were eating plastic, glass, styrofoam, trash bags, and other objects that were inedible to humans, everybody was a bit bewildered, "Yona don't think those are healthy." Yona said, "It is for us, our mutations also changed our digestive systems." Ivan replied, "So, you guys eat trash?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Some of us, it helps, too, in the past, humans would throw plastic into the water, marine life would eat them and die." Ivan replied, Silverstream and Fluttershy were shocked, "That's so sad." Silverstream said, "Yeah, it was, we've been combating it." Ivan replied, "I think you all have been doing a good job, I don't see a single piece of trash in the water." Fluttershy said, "You guys still want to explore?" Lizmarie asked, "Nah, looks like there's nothing here." Gallus replied, "Yeah, it looks like the human's living quarters, too." Smolder said, "Hi, guys." a voice said, they look and saw the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Master Splinter come, the one who greeted them was Leonardo, "Oh, you five look so cute." Fluttershy said as she flew to them, "Back off, creep." Raphael said, "Hey, she's just greeting you guys." Pinkie Pie replied, "Sorry about him, he's always angry." Donatello said, "Like... always, dude." Michelangelo said, Raphael was getting angry, Fluttershy was getting scared, "Calm down, my son, you should know who the people are before you decide to combat them. I am Master Splinter, this is Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo." Master Splinter said, "Well, hi, I'm Twilight Sparkle, this is Rainbow Dash, that's Pinkie Pie, that girl in front of you is Fluttershy, this is Rarity, this is Applejack, that's Spike, this is Starlight Glimmer, this is Sunset Shimmer, that's Sunburst, that's Apple Bloom, that's Scootaloo, that's Sweetie Belle, this is Sandbar, that's Gallus over there, this here is Silverstream, that's Yona right there, this right here is Smolder, and that's Ocellus." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I need to study this world's species and material." Donatello said, "Those things look awesome, can I see them?" Rainbow Dash asked as she looked at their weapons, "If you want a beatdown." Raphael replied, Rainbow Dash became uncomfortable, "Say, do you guys have any pizza?" Michelangelo asked, "Uh, what's pizza?" Ocellus asked, "I guess that's a no." Leonardo said, "What happened to y'all?" Applejack asked, "My master was killed by the Shredder, I went to New York since I had no home after that, an accident happened and four baby turtles and radioactive ooze got sent into the sewer, I was mutated, I raised these four to be my sons, and trained them in ninjutsu, we had to hide underground due to no other mutants being around at that time, but now that we are in the future, and we are not the only mutants, we can roam around freely without scaring others." Master Splinter explained, "How old are you guys?" Rarity asked, "Actually, we're from the past." Leonardo replied, "Well, it's nice, but we have to get going, bye now." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go their separate ways, they hear Raphael groan angrily, "I hate the future!" Raphael said, the others look back, "Let's go to the next place." Sunburst said, "Okay then, our section is the closest one to here." Grid replied, and the machines lead them. Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom were in the city in the sky, everybody ran away screaming while the gremlins drove the vehicles, they were laughing as they chased after the natives. They hear the Gremlin King laugh as he drives a tank around, the citizens ran away, the Gremlin King keeps laughing but soon screams when he drives the tank off of the edge, it fell onto the ground. The Gremlin King comes out and sees the five looking at him, "Get them, Scorpio!" the Gremlin King said, and the five hear heavy breathing, they look and see Scorpio, he was another humanoid gremlin, he had on black armor, "Is that you, Darth Vader?" Tom asked sarcastically, the other four snickered, Scorpio held a black handle in his right hand, he activates it and a red lightsaber appeared, he was ready to duel, "I am the master of the Force." Scorpio said in a deep voice, Tom walked forward and activated his red lightsaber, he also made his bio-armor appear. The two began fighting with their lightsabers, they were just hitting each other's lightsabers and entering deadlocks for now. Tom and Scorpio move around while fighting and enter one of the traveling tubes, the two begin fighting inside the tubes, Tom's lightsaber burns and breaks the top of the tube, people fly out of it and scream, Scorpio burned and broke the bottom of the tube, more people flew out. Tom and Scorpio keep fighting while traveling through the tube, Scorpio soon flew out of the big hole at the top, Tom climbed out before he could go through it farther, the two were now on top of the tube. Tom and Scorpio continue fighting with their lightsabers, Scorpio holds his left hand out and begins to Force choke Tom, which makes Tom shoot red beams out of his eyes, they hit Scorpio's helmet, it distracts him and he stops using the Force choke. Tom was about to run and slash Scorpio with his lightsaber, but Scorpio grabs him, holds him over his head, and throws him onto the ground, he lands where the Council and natives were at, the world's natives gasp when they saw him. Tom got back up while Scorpio jumped down to him, the two fight more with their lightsabers while Tom's four friends arrive. Tom hits the lightsaber out of Scorpio's right hand and it lands behind him, Scorpio holds his arms out and shoots blue electricity out of his claws, which Tom dodged by ducking. Tom soon does a horizontal slash to his right with his lightsaber and hits Scorpio's helmet, it gets destroyed, along with his head, revealing gremlin and robotic pieces of his head while Scorpio's body fell over, "Look at that, he was a cyborg." Volvox said, "Excuse me, what's a cyborg?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It is when someone is part organic, part machine." Grid replied, surprising everyone, they all see Princess Ember fly to them, "Say, what is that sword you guys are using?" Princess Ember asked, "It's called a lightsaber." Tom replied, "You can have his." Volvox said, and Princess Ember took it, she saw it burn and cut whatever it touched, Twilight Sparkle was uncomfortable with such a weapon being real, "Say, I can get used to using this." Princess Ember said while smiling and she flew away. The alarm goes off and Grid makes a holographic screen appear with his hands, "Problems in space, Capricorn is coming to invade." Grid said, "Let's get some Gundams then." Volvox replied, "We already have a vehicle for you guys." T-1850 said, "Yeah, this way." Model X said, and they lead them, the five were surprised to see the flying tank again, "Whoa, I didn't think a flying tank would exist." Sunset Shimmer said, "Well, it does, this took a lot of time and money to make. Go in, you four, and I believe you can jump into space, Volvox, my files say you and Dommiel can breathe in space." T-1850 said, "Wow, you guys really did do your homework, let's go." Volvox replied, and he jumped into outer space while the four used the flying tank, it turned invisible when it flew, Tom piloted it, it also came with instructions on how to control it. Twilight Sparkle and the others arrive into the section where the machines lived, they were all different sizes, shapes, and colors, they had Terminators in the area as well, along with androids, cyborgs, and artificial intelligence computers, "Whoa, this is like something out of a video game or a movie." Sunset Shimmer said, "Not a book?" Model X asked, "Well, maybe a picture book." Sunset Shimmer replied, "I can't believe something like this can exist." Rarity said, "Yeah, I never imagined this, either." Starlight Glimmer replied, they look around and see the machines had no cuisine, no fashion, no art, and so on, they did not have a culture, "What do you guys do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "We were not designed to have fun, we were designed to work, make the world a better place, and to help others." Grid replied, "Can we leave? I don't like this area." Pinkie Pie said, "Sorry, Pinkie, but we have to learn." Twilight Sparkle replied, Pinkie Pie looked down and they walked together. Everybody sees the machines working twenty four seven, and were making weapons and vehicles, they also see machines studying medicine, and treating the sick and injured, "How are y'all powered?" Applejack asked, "Each machine is powered by something different." T-1850 replied, "How do you guys not overheat?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Automatic cooling systems." Model X replied, "Do you guys have any video games?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "We do not make them in this section." Grid replied, "Where are they sold, then?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "In the human and mutant areas." Flagellum replied, "Can we leave? This place is making me uncomfortable." Silverstream said, "Yona uncomfortable, too." Yona said, "Me too." Sandbar said, the others agreed, "I thought you guys would at least have machines that make music." Sweetie Belle said, "They are in the other sections." Grid replied, "So, y'all don't do anything for fun?" Apple Bloom asked, "As we said, we cannot feel, so trying to experience pleasure will be pointless to us." T-1850 replied, shocking the others, "We also embrace our lack of emotions." Grid said, "What? Why?" Sunburst asked, "We have watched the organic creatures, and saw emotions cloud the mind when making decisions, our lack of emotions have perfected our intelligence." Model X replied, "But a world with no emotions is boring." Pinkie Pie said, "Maybe to you, but not to us." Grid replied, "Come on, we still have five more to check." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go to the next area. Volvox was in space while his four friends were in the flying tank, they were surprised when they saw there was no space junk around the space station, they also see their satellites orbiting around, they were recording what was going on in the country. The flying tank had its cloaking device activated, the Count of Saint Germain saw their kinetic bombardment satellite was around as well, which made him happy. Everybody hears flying and saw mobile suits coming, they looked like Zakus, "Go, Capricorn, take them out!" the Gremlin King said over a radio, "Understood, your majesty." Capricorn replied in a robotic voice, the five look around and saw one of the mobile suits was red, the five shook their heads. The mobile suits held their arms out and began shooting beams out of their fingers and thumbs, there were hundreds of beams due to the amount of mobile suits there were. Dommiel flew out of the flying tank and quickly closed the top of it so the other three do not fly out and die in space, Dommiel floated around and made the six spikes on his shoulders come off with his mind, they shoot big beams out and destroy whatever they hit, also to his happiness, they destroyed whatever was behind his targets, so several mobile suits were destroyed, "Unexpected casualties, changing plans." Capricorn said in the red mobile suit, the five then remembered Capricorn was a robot. The mobile suits do a pincer attack onto the flying tank, Tom makes the bottom turret spin around counterclockwise and fire, it destroyed the mobile suits in one shot, Tom was curious and checked the bottom turret he was using, he saw it had a grand total of a trillion bullets, Tom was still nervous about the gun overheating, but he continued to fire. Giovi operated turrets that were above the propellers, one button made the two turrets fire at the same time, he pressed the button down with telekinesis, he hit whatever was in front of the turrets, the two missiles destroyed the mobile suits in one shot, he sees he had five hundred missiles in each turret. The Count of Saint Germain was ready to use the top turret and weapon on the tail if necessary, they see a mobile suit flying towards them, the Count of Saint Germain pushes a button and fires the top turret, a dart shot out and hit the mobile suit, the entire mobile suit turned orange and exploded, he was confused on how it worked. Volvox fired his fire breaths and destroyed whatever he saw, and Dommiel fired missiles out of his shoulders to destroy more mobile suits, the red one was the only one left. Capricorn flies towards them and Tom fires the machine gun of the flying tank, Capricorn controlled the red mobile suit with his mind, "It's too fast." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Yeah, it's three times faster than the others." Tom replied, "Volvox, look out, he's coming for you!" the Count of Saint Germain said, Volvox sees him and Capricorn was charging towards him, he shoots red beams out of the mobile suit's one eye, it hit Volvox in the chest, but did no harm, "Wow, guess they're weak." Dommiel said, "It is because you all started designing mobile suits recently, it is still in the early stages." Capricorn replied from inside the mobile suit, "Well, in that case, why don't we have someone fight you in there?" Volvox asked, and he lures Capricorn to the flying tank. Volvox swims in space and was going back into the atmosphere, the flying tank and Dommiel followed him, they arrive back in the atmosphere and they see everything was fine. Tom opened the top of the flying tank, he also made it visible, Volvox looked inside, "Want to fight him, Giovi?" Volvox asked, Giovi shrugged, "Alright then." Volvox said, and he uses telekinesis to pick Giovi up, he puts him into the mobile suit by a hole at the top of its head. Capricorn had a silver robotic body, and red eyes, he hears Giovi enter from behind, and he turned around. Giovi looks at Capricorn and sees he looked a bit like Triborg, but he ignored it, he tries to slash Capricorn with the lightsaber blades he had for his claws, Capricorn moved around and dodged them easily, he had enhanced physical capabilities. Capricorn shot red beams out of his eyes, which Giovi dodged, Capricorn then shot missiles out of his shoulders, which Giovi dodged by running around, he slashed Capricorn in the chest with the lightsabers on his left hand, it burned him, he did not react due to his inability to feel pain. Capricorn's right hand changes into a gun and he fires a blue and white blast out of it, Giovi realized it was a sonic cannon, Capricorn continues firing at him, he was destroying the inside of the mobile suit, Giovi dodged them with ease and he cut Capricorn's abdomen with the lightsabers on his right hand. The mobile suit began to fall and the microorganisms and mutants used telekinesis to bring it down softly, the world's natives were shocked to see it. Giovi tried to slash Capricorn and he dodged each slash, the two walk out and were on the mobile suit, they were fighting one another, the world's natives went to go look at the mobile suit since they were curious, Volvox also watched, he held himself up with his own telekinesis. Capricorn trips and falls since he was not paying attention, Giovi was about to finish him, but he lifts his right foot up and shoots a missile out of his foot, Giovi moved his upper body to his right and dodged it, he then stabbed the lightsabers on his left hand into Capricorn's head, they hear electricity crackling. Capricorn was still moving, so Giovi stabs the lightsabers on his right hand at where Capricorn's heart should be, more electricity crackled, Capricorn was still functioning, so Giovi used telekinesis to tear him apart, wires and bolts were everywhere, Capricorn shut down after that. Giovi exhaled and regrouped with his four friends, "Alright, two thirds of the way done." Dommiel said, "Yeah, come on, day's almost ending, let's take out the other four." Volvox replied, and they walk together, "CAPRICORN!! NOOOOOOOOO!!" the Gremlin King yelled, the five see him on a roof, Volvox breathes fire from his three mouths and the Gremlin King jumped down while screaming, he ran away, the five shrug and leave to take out the remaining four gremlin commanders. Twilight Sparkle and her friends arrive at the alien area, it was a bit like Yakyakistan, "Ooh, Yona feel like she at home." Yona said, "We noticed that from space, your country does look a bit like our way of living." Zerbebuth replied, "You guys live in tipis, too?" Ocellus asked, "Not always, we usually live homes made from hardened mud and feces, we need some way to protect our homes from the dangerous fauna of our home planet." Zancrus replied, "Ooh, I see instruments." Pinkie Pie said, they look and saw human woodwind and brass instruments, "Oh yeah, those are from human culture, we decided to give them a try." Zerbebuth replied, "Their culture is how the humans were able to bond with the devilgors, their culture is like a mixture of Native American and African cultures." Darwin said, "Yes, but we don't have fashion, dancing rituals, or war paint, but our art and religion and beliefs are a bit similar to the Native Americans and Africans." Zerbebuth replied, "We did like human history a bit as well, our favorite historical figures from human history are Hiawatha, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and Galvarino." Zancrus said, "We used to live in tribes, too." Applejack said, "You guys as well?" Zerbebuth asked, "Yeah, unicorns, Pegasi, and earth ponies didn't live together back then." Rainbow Dash replied, "Fusing your cultures together must've been hard." Zerbebuth said, "Not really, we used the Fire of Friendship to unite our tribes." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Unfortunately, forging friendships is not that simple for most species'." Darwin said, "Yeah, I had a hard time getting along with other dragons." Spike replied, "Us ponies had a hard time getting along with griffons, too." Rainbow Dash said, "Oh, so you guys do know." Marie replied, the Mane Six, Young Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Sunburst, and Spike nod, "Come on, we'll show you our culture." Zerbebuth said, and he leads them, the world's natives were happy to learn. The aliens greeted them kindly, they were trying the instruments the humans played, and had trouble, "Sorry, we're still learning how to use them." Zerbebuth said, "Ooh, we have these instruments, too, I can teach." Pinkie Pie replied, the aliens smiled and Pinkie Pie taught them, they were already improving playing the woodwind and brass instruments, they were improvising due to them not having lips, and their teeth being exposed at all times. The aliens play their drums, which the world's natives visiting them enjoyed, especially Yona, she felt right at home. Prince Rutherford was on a mountain and saw her having fun, he could not help but smile. The aliens continue playing music for them, "Unfortunately, since we're not on Salatun, we cannot share our cuisine." Zerbebuth said, "It's okay, I do like the music." Twilight Sparkle replied, the others agreed, "Yeah, it's fun, but we have to go now." Pinkie Pie said, "Alright then, the animal area is next, this way." Zira replied, and they follow her. Volvox helps the space station clear the space junk with his telekinesis, they finished rather quickly, he and the other four keep walking. The five arrive into the bug area and see the bugs were living peacefully, they hear whirling sounds and saw cyphers with guns on them flying around, "Oh, they must be here for security reasons." the Count of Saint Germain said, "It would make sense, most of these bugs would die by just getting squashed on." Dommiel replied, the five walk forward carefully not to step on any bugs, Volvox was especially careful, he would use his telekinesis to make himself float around, but he was already blocking the path for the flying bugs. The five walk slowly so the bugs could move away before their feet touched the ground, they were surprised there were no human sized humanoid bugs in the country like Scarab and Sacer. The five hear screeches and see bugs crawling forward with a pink organism on them, Volvox uses telekinesis to get them off, he notices they were parasites, the regular gremlins run into the country and began attacking the bugs, they hear laughing and saw the Gremlin King walking into the country, another humanoid gremlin was with him, he had light pink skin on him, his eyes were yellow, and he had yellow eyeballs all over his body, "Every bug, meet Gemini, time for you pests to die, this is what you all get for keeping me up at night with your buzzing." the Gremlin King said, Gemini walked forward, "Attack me if you want, you will die." Gemini said in a deep voice, the cyphers begin shooting at him, the security cameras in the area also had machine guns on them, they shot at Gemini as well. Gemini changes his body around and makes organic blades come out of his back, he fires them and destroys the cyphers and cameras, he makes four more come out, but they were connected to tentacles. The Count of Saint Germain looks at the small gremlins under Gemini's control and noticed something wrong, their eyes' glowed orange, he shot his phaser pistol to stun and knock out the small gremlins, one tries to jump onto him, he cut his head off with his laser sword, the gremlin began to mutate, a parasitic lump with an organic tentacle and blade came out. Gemini tries to stab the Count of Saint Germain but he cut them with his laser sword, he soon slashed Gemini's abdomen and right chest, "Fool, you damaged the nest." Gemini said while smiling, crab-like parasites crawl out of Gemini's body, they go towards the bugs and begin attacking them. Liquid nitrogen is shot to freeze them, the five look and see the country's military has arrived to help, they had weapons like flamethrowers, but froze things instead of burning them, "What the?" Volvox asked, he watched the soldiers freeze the bugs as well, Gemini grows to a massive size with his body being fused to the ground, he was big enough for the world's natives to see, they were shocked and horrified to see a parasitic creature. Volvox shoots his fire breath at him and burns him, Gemini snickers since it made more parasites come out of his body, the Count of Saint Germain tried firing a stunning light from his phaser pistol, it did nothing to Gemini, so the Count of Saint Germain changes it to vaporize mode. Gemini made the tentacles in his back extend and he began shooting organic spikes at him, the Count of Saint Germain cut them with his laser sword, Dommiel and Tom cut them as well, Giovi was busy getting the crab-like parasites off of the bugs with Volvox. The Count of Saint Germain runs closer to Gemini and shoots the phaser pistol, Gemini screamed as he was vaporized, the parasites from his body also stop, "Okay, only three more." Dommiel said, "Yeah, this has been taking longer than I thought." Volvox replied, "Let's take a break, I'm a little tired." Tom said, the other four agreed and they rest. Everybody arrives into the area where the animals live, Fluttershy was excited, she saw the humans had mostly the same animals as they did, "This way, I know what animals will be happy to meet you all." Cecil said, and he leads them. Everybody arrives at a herd of capybaras, they run to the Mane Six and the others. The capybaras began laying down with them and licking them, Smolder and Gallus were unhappy while the others were, "Oh, you all are very friendly, I wish I could adopt all of you." Fluttershy said, "There are also several animals that are one of a kind, humans called them cryptids, they're over there." Zira said, and they all see Bigfoot, Hibagon, Yeti, the Loch Ness Monster, Goatman, a Moa, a Junjudee, Sinkhole Sam, and a Skunk Ape, "The extinct animals are over there, most of them are robots, the original ones in the past were too wild to be brought here." Cecil said, Fluttershy and Silverstream were excited to see them. Twilight Sparkle saw the Titanoboa and screamed at the top of her lungs and backed away in fear, they all saw what she was scared of, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Spike, and the Young Six screamed in terror at seeing it and ran away. Rainbow Dash and Applejack looked at it, "That sure is one mighty big snake." Applejack said, "Biggest one that ever lived." Cecil replied, "I am so not scared of that." Rainbow Dash said, "What about this one?" Zira asked, and she showed Rainbow Dash a robotic megalania, Rainbow Dash became scared, "This is the megalania, ancestor of the komodo dragon." Zira said, "Wait, that thing's a dragon?" Smolder asked, "To humans, it was back then, it's a lizard now." Zira replied, "You all see those birds over there?" Cecil asked, and everybody did, Fluttershy was excited and flew to them, "That's what they used to look like." Cecil said, and he pointed to his left, everybody saw the dinosaurs, it scared them, "What are those?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Dinosaurs." Cecil replied, "Those actually look cool." Rainbow Dash said, "I agree, I'd like one of those, too." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Can we go? They're scaring me." Fluttershy said, "Wait, Yona want to meet yaks." Yona replied, "This way." Zira said, and they follow her, Yona sees the yaks from the human world were not like hers, "Yak has no culture?" Yona asked, "Well, they do, but it's probably different from what you're used to." Cecil replied, "What's that?!" Silverstream asked excitedly as she pointed her right talon to a marine animal, "That's a seahorse." Cecil replied, "Wow, you guys have seaponies, too?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Not seapony, seahorse, the males give birth instead of the females." Cecil replied, the others were interested, "Is it okay to go to the next area? The day is close to over." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, I guess, come on, our area is next." Berberis replied, and they all go to the plant area. Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom were done helping the bugs recover from Gemini's attack, and were resting in the microorganism area, the microorganisms were using telekinesis to get around, there were microscopes everywhere so those other organisms can see them, "How and when did microorganisms learn psychic powers?" Dommiel asked, "I have no clue." Volvox replied, "Probably radiation and evolution combined." Tom said, the other four agreed. The five hear the microorganisms screaming and they look through the microscopes, they saw a small humanoid gremlin multiplying and destroying them. They hear laughing on a building and see the Gremlin King, "Go get them, Cancer, not even those five can get you." the Gremlin King said, Volvox shot fire out of his three mouths, but missed, the Gremlin King ran away screaming, he then tried to shrink himself to microscopic size, but could not, "Darn it, I can't shrink myself." Volvox said, "Emperor, the shrinking collar is in front of you." a microscopic organism replied with a male voice, Volvox sees it and puts it on his middle head with telekinesis, "How do I activate this?" Volvox asked, "Just use your mind, it reads your brainwaves." the microscopic organism replied, and Volvox wanted to be small, and he shrunk to microscopic size, he then goes after Cancer. Volvox floats around while he sees Cancer multiply, "Don't try looking for me, Volvox, we're all the real Cancer." Cancer said, and he begins to multiply more, Volvox shot fire out of his mouths and destroyed most of them with his three fire breaths, Cancer laughs as he multiplies more and more. Volvox tries using his telekinesis and sees there was too many for him to hold in one place, so he shoots more fire out of his mouths and destroy them. Cancer reforms even after he was destroyed, Volvox began to feel nauseous, he realized Cancer's sickness was getting to him, he looks and saw his four friends were getting sick as well, he shot out more fire and destroyed Cancer again, he kept returning and multiplying, "I need one of those flamethrowers that shoots out ice." Volvox said, "Oh, you mean a frostthrower, we'll inform the machines telepathically." a female microorganism replied, and she does, one was transported into the area, it was already microscopic size, "What the?" Volvox asked, "We have transferring devices everywhere in the country, and more shrinking devices." the female microscopic organism said, Volvox just took it and aimed it. He pulls the trigger and freezes every Cancer there was, he did not multiply, Volvox shot out more fire and destroyed them. Cancer started coming back, Volvox froze him again, and put him in one place with telekinesis, he did not feel sick anymore, but did not know what to do next. Cancer was stuck in place, with no way to move, so he decided to form into a bigger version of himself, he was a humanoid gremlin, but all light red and pink, Volvox shot fire at him and he screamed and was obliterated, Cancer did not form that time, much to Volvox's confusion, but he changes back to his regular size, "Okay, two more." Volvox said, "I'm still tired." Dommiel replied, "Yeah, me too, why don't we try playing an online game if they have any?" Tom asked, they agreed and went to the human area. Twilight Sparkle and her friends arrive into the plant section and were surprised to see there were thousands of different plants, and they were all humanoid plants and moving, the sun was shining into the section, and they had solar panels everywhere, "Wow, how many different types of flora are there?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "About one million two hundred ninety three thousand six hundred eighty five of us." Berberis replied, shocking everyone, that was more plants than in their world, "Are y'all divided?" Applejack asked, "There's about one million one hundred sixty five thousand six hundred forty four angiosperms, about eight thousand three hundred twenty seven gymnosperms, about fifty one thousand one hundred two pteridophytes, and about sixty eight thousand six hundred twelve bryophytes." Periwinkle replied, shocking everyone, "How do you all keep track of what type of plants you all are?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "We all have unique traits." Berberis replied, "What's that plant there?" Sunburst asked as he pointed with his front right hoof to Swamp Thing, "Oh, that's Swamp Thing, he's this area's guardian." Periwinkle replied, "I must say, maybe you all could use some fashion." Rarity said, "We are not the type to have fashion." Berberis replied, "So, you guys don't have any culture, no music or literature?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "All we have is cuisine, but some of our dishes are poisonous to certain organic creatures." Periwinkle replied, "How do y'all live?" Applejack asked, "We're self-feeding, the sun also powers us, this entire area is made from soil, so is the water, the feces from animals also grant us nutrition, and obviously, we don't have any fire in this area, it is lethal to us." Periwinkle replied, "How do you guys survive in the cold?" Gallus asked, "We have technology that can change the weather." Berberis replied, "Oh." Gallus said, "Wait, where's Silverstream?" Sandbar asked, they all look for her and saw her in the water as a seapony, she was greeting the plants that lived in the water, they greeted her back, "What happens if she eats one of the kelps?" Smolder asked, "She will be arrested and tried for murder." Swamp Thing replied, "Well, let's see if she can control her urges." Gallus said while smiling, Silverstream came out a few seconds afterwards and changed back to a hippogriff, "This is the best area ever!" Silverstream said, "Sorry, Silverstream, but we have to speed up, so we have to go to the next place." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Alright then, this way." Scarab said, and they go to the bug area next. Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom found a computer and decided to play an online game, they found a multiplayer one, it was called City Survival, "This game looks like Grand Theft Auto." Tom said, "Oh, I remember seeing those when we traveled to here from the past." Dommiel replied, "Well, let's give it a try." Volvox said, and they create accounts to play, they look and see three more players, one was Jamie Reyes, who called himself Blue Beetle, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle member Michelangelo, and an unseen player, they see the account name and saw it was Flibbertigibbet, they see she used her name, "It's her again." Dommiel said, "Hold on, dudes, let's hear her voice first." Michelangelo replied, "Hello, losers." Flibbertigibbet said, "Yeah, it's her." Tom said, and the game starts, "Alright, four player war, may the best player win." Jamie said, and they play. The ponies and their friends see the five playing a game, "Oh, hey." Sunset Shimmer said, and she ran to them, "That looks fun." Rainbow Dash said, and she flew to them, "Ooh, let me join." Pinkie Pie said, and she ran to them, they go to the five, they let them join, "Guys." Twilight Sparkle said, "Don't worry, we'll catch up." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Yeah, we're just taking a break." Rainbow Dash said, "Okay, but make sure you make it to the bug section on time." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she and the others walk by. Tom, Jamie, Michelangelo, and Flibbertigibbet play the game and it was clear Flibbertigibbet was cheating, she had infinite health, infinite armor, infinite ammo, an auto targeting mod, she was teleporting to random parts of the map, was spawning clones of her player, and making herself invisible to other players, "Lady, stop cheating." Jamie said, "I'm not cheating, you just suck." Flibbertigibbet replied, "Lady, stop doing that." Michelangelo said, Flibbertigibbet was making Michelangelo's character die by shooting him through solid objects, which the game did not allow, she then made Tom's character freeze in place, and he got killed by Flibbertigibbet's character. Rainbow Dash, Sunset Shimmer, and Pinkie Pie growled when they watched, they heard Flibbertigibbet laughing, then her player froze, "Cheater spotted, account selected for deletion." a male robotic voice said, and Flibbertigibbet's gaming account was deleted, and her character was killed off permanently. Flibbertigibbet screamed and began slapping her hands on a solid object, she then began crying, "You brought it onto yourself." Sunset Shimmer said, they heard walking on Flibbertigibbet's screen, even though it did not show her, "What's the matter, Flibbertigibbet?" the Gremlin King asked, "I lost." Flibbertigibbet replied, "Hey, don't cry, it's just a game, let your father show you how it's done, he's a master at this game." the Gremlin King said, and they change, a camera appeared, and the Gremlin King was on the screen, they continue playing. They begin playing again and the Gremlin King was cheating the same way his daughter cheated, "Dude, that's cheating." Jamie said, "Taurus, do your thing." the Gremlin King said, and Jamie's character was erased from the game, which shocked him, "A gremlin's controlling the AI." Tom said, "Can you three take over?" Volvox asked, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Sunset Shimmer became excited, the five left while Sunset Shimmer took the keyboard to play. The five go to the machine area and they see a computer acting funny, the five were zapped and they grunt, a blue laser analyzes them and brings them into the computer. The five enter the country's AI system and see the machines and automated technology were controlled by it, a landscape gets created and they hear snickering in the area, they see a path that only goes one way, the five shrug and walk forward. The five walk and saw Taurus up ahead, he was made out of blue electricity, "Hello, you five, take your pick." Taurus said, and he holds his hands out, a red pill was in his right hand, and a blue pill was in his left hand, "Red or blue?" Taurus asked, "What do they do?" Tom asked, "Take the red pill, you become one with the AI, you stay stuck in here, and can never go back to the real world. Take the blue pill, you never learn of this place, and can never enter this area again, the microchips will identify you and not let you enter the AI world." Taurus replied, the five were unimpressed, "Neither." Dommiel said, "Yeah, plus, I'd take white and black over red and blue." Volvox said, "What will you five do then?" Taurus asked, they look at one another, Volvox shoots fire at him, Taurus was unharmed due to him having no physical body, "I am invincible." Taurus said, "Guess we'll see about that." the Count of Saint Germain replied, and he tried firing his phaser pistol while it was in vaporize mode, it did nothing, Dommiel tried shooting hollow point bullets from the guns on his forearms, they went through him, he tried the missiles in his shoulders next, they also did nothing, "Yeah, it's going to be a waste right now." Dommiel said, "Taurus!" the Gremlin King said, "Alright." Taurus replied, and he goes through several holographic keyboards, he types things and they see Michelangelo's character in the game get erased out, "What the shell, dude?!" Michelangelo asked, "Wait, Mikey, I'm finding there's some kind of artificial intelligence controlling the game." Donatello replied from off the camera, they hear typing and it was soon done, "Found it, there's a humanoid gremlin in the AI system, his brain's somewhere in the machine area." Donatello said, the five look at Taurus and smile, Taurus became scared and ran, the five chased him. The five run after Taurus while going through the AI system, Taurus shot electricity at them, they dodged it, they keep running around the AI system and see a screen that led them out. Taurus smiled and ran to it, the five chase him and tackle him, they go through the screen and come out. The six arrive back into the real world and the five become shocked when they realized they were in the underwater city, Taurus laughed as he went into the water and used his electrokinesis to electrify the water, the people and animals in the water began writhing in pain, everybody looks and sees the electrified water. Volvox gets the other four on his back and jumps out of the underwater city, he lands on the main city, breaking part of the ground in the process, he sees Sunset Shimmer, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie were still playing, they were getting angry, they also heard Sunset Shimmer grunt angrily, "Stop beam spamming!" Sunset Shimmer said angrily, the Gremlin King laughs, the five ignore it and go to the area of the machines. The five look around for Taurus' brain, "Found it." Volvox said, he sees it was in a building, he ripped the roof off with his front feet, he lets the four get on him and lets them into the building. He hears electricity behind him and he turns around, he saw Taurus floating in midair, "You can't fight every machine." Taurus said, and Volvox saw every machine in the country was under his command, they began shooting lasers at him, Volvox's skin was able to take it, he did not fight back because it would mean trouble if he destroyed the country's AI systems. Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom see Taurus' brain, it was connected to the AI systems with metal tubing, the four go forward to remove it, but Taurus' brain releases a psychic blast that knocks them back, the four get up and look, Taurus' brain began using telekinesis to lift things up and throw them at the four, Dommiel and Giovi used their telekinesis to hold the blast back, Taurus' brain begins to release another psychic blast, but the two use their telekinesis to hold it back and they enter a deadlock with him. The Count of Saint Germain and Tom run to Taurus' brain and try to remove the tubes, but they were stuck in the brain, so Tom took his lightsaber out and cut the four tubes, the machines in the country shut down, Taurus screamed as his electrical body disappeared. Volvox looked back and saw they succeeded in disconnecting him, so Volvox used his telekinesis to pick up Taurus' brain, he looks around and sees a barrel of acid around, which he did not know why, but he did not care, and put Taurus' brain in it to melt it, the five go back to their online game. Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Sunset Shimmer were playing together with Jamie, Michelangelo, and the Gremlin King, the AI systems in the country malfunction a bit and it made holographic screens appear in the sky, big enough for the entire world to see, much to the natives' confusion, "Sorry about that, guys, we're having technical difficulties right now." Volvox said to the world, they see Sunset Shimmer was playing, the five go to her and see she was now winning the game since the Gremlin King could no longer cheat, his character was killed and he lost the game, coming in last place. The Gremlin King screamed with rage and began slamming his fists on the table, and then on the keyboard, he then picked up the keyboard, slammed it on the table a few times, and threw it back onto the table, the Gremlin King began to shout into the microphone in his native language, he then began to scream in rage and move his body side-to-side in the chair, he was so enraged, he began having spasms in his chair, he then stood up and angrily punched the camera with his right fist, making it fall, he then walked away and quit the game. The world's natives saw him as well, they were all shocked by how the Gremlin King reacted, "Now, Flurry Heart, remember, don't ever act like that if you lose, it's just a game, and your father and I won't get you any if you act like that." Princess Cadence said as she hugged her daughter. Everybody was shocked by the Gremlin King's behavior, "Wow, I get mad if I lose, too, but I don't act like that." Sunset Shimmer said, the AI systems stop acting up and the holographic screens go back down, the game was over, Sunset Shimmer won, "Yes." Sunset Shimmer said, "Congrats, lady." Jamie said, "Thanks." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Wanna go another round?" Michelangelo asked, "Sorry, but we have things to do." Rainbow Dash replied, "Yeah, we have to go off now." Dommiel said, "Alright, till next game." Jamie replied, and they turn off the computer, "Okay, just one more." Tom said, "Yup, then we go after the Gremlin King." Volvox replied, "We're going to the bug area." Pinkie Pie said, "Alright, have fun." Volvox replied, and they go their separate ways. Twilight Sparkle and her friends arrive at the bug area and everybody except Fluttershy and Silverstream were uncomfortable, they hear running and saw Sunset Shimmer, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie come, "Oh, you three made it on time." Twilight Sparkle said, "We told you we've make it." Rainbow Dash replied, "Did you three have something to do with the technical difficulties thing?" Ocellus asked, "No, the gremlins messed up the technology." Rainbow Dash replied, "Oh." Ocellus said, "Okay, welcome to the bug area, we live in a caste system." Scarab said, "A caste system?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, we'll show you around." Sacer replied, and they show the area, they realize each bug had something to do, the ants were the blue collar workers, the bees operated the technology and provided food, the termites were architects, the wasps were scholars and historians, they also created paper, the flies were reporters and messengers, the moths were scouts and watched for danger, the cicadas watched for dangers under the ground, the worms acted as public transport under the ground, the centipedes acted as public transport above the ground, the millipedes transported goods and resources, the earwigs were the judges of their society, the spiders were soldiers, the beetles were also soldiers, the scorpions were officers, the roaches were elite soldiers and diplomats, the mantises were also diplomats, and the highest ranking soldiers, the phasmids were also soldiers, they were also scouts, the crickets were also diplomats, the grasshoppers were the highest ranking diplomats, the mosquitoes were doctors, the ticks were also doctors, and the ones who created new medicine, and the fleas were the rulers of country. Twilight Sparkle noticed not every bug was in the caste, "Where are the lice at?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The other bugs went extinct a long time ago." Sacer replied, "What did they do?" Rarity asked, "Nothing, that was before the caste system was established." Scarab replied, "Who do you all send for diplomacy?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Usually the roaches." Scarab replied, shocking the natives of the world, "Don't like roaches?" Scarab asked, "Absolutely not, I can't stand roaches." Rarity replied, "How about crickets?" Sacer asked, "No, I don't like any bugs." Rarity replied, "I do." Fluttershy said, "Me too." Pinkie Pie said, and she ran around in hopes of throwing a party, the bugs were a bit surprised, but went on with their days, Pinkie Pie was a bit shocked the bugs did not party, "Maybe you should let me do the party planning, Pinkie Pie." Fluttershy said, Pinkie Pie smiled, "Well, is there really anything else besides this to your culture?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Nope, that's all, we don't make music until night time." Sacer replied, "Oh, makes sense, well, let's go to the last area." Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright, this way." Flagellum replied, and they go to the area of the microorganisms. Volvox and his four friends decided to go back to the alien area to see how the fighting tournament was coming up, it was almost complete, "How are you guys doing with the gremlins?" Harvey asked, "One more left." Tom replied, "And after that?" Harvey asked, "We go after the Gremlin King." Dommiel replied, "I don't know if you guys found this out, but before you guys came here, the king's daughter was offering a date to one of the twelve commanders if he took down you five, all twelve of them turned her down." Harvey said, the five chuckle, "What's wrong? Is she too ugly to them?" Tom asked, "No, it's has to do with her tastes, the quality of the stuff she wants is too high for their liking." Harvey replied, "How about Orchid, how were her tastes?" Volvox asked, "Orchid doesn't care too much about those things, as long as it's functional and useful to her, she'll take it, Orchid doesn't like receiving flowers and chocolates as gifts, she usually prefers things she can use to help her with whatever problem she's having, or help try to make her magic strong again." Harvey replied, "What about you?" Dommiel asked, "I'm kind of the same." Harvey replied, the five chuckle, "Where is your family right now, anyway?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "Orchid, Nick, and Lance went home for the day, Orchid got exhausted." Harvey replied, the five were worried about Orchid. The technology in the entire country began acting up, the three cities starting experiencing malfunctions, the vehicles in the air began falling to the ground, the mutants, machines, and microorganisms use telekinesis to bring them down softly, a lot of angry voices were heard from people waiting for messages from their friends on their devices, "Of course, with advanced technology comes impatience." Volvox said, his four friends and Harvey agreed, they hear the Gremlin King laughing, he was on a roof, "Go, Aries! Show them why you're my second-in-command." the Gremlin King said, they all see Aries floating in midair, he was making all of the technology go haywire, everybody saw they can counter it with their own psychic powers, "Go, my servants!" Aries said, and other small gremlins began attacking, they controlled some of the technology while laughing, everybody noticed the small gremlins were only causing mischief, "No, you fools! Kill them!" Aries said, the Gremlin King controls them telepathically, they begin attacking the natives. The Count of Saint Germain and Tom try shooting him, but Aries made their guns malfunction, they hear a lot noises and sees their Metal Gear REXs, Metal Gear RAYs, and Shagohods have begun attacking the citizens, the world's natives were extremely shocked to see the walking tanks. The motion detectors in the street lights go off and guns come out of the street lights to shoot the people, they also see their laser and beam weapons going haywire, so did their rocket launchers that shot like machine guns. Volvox fires his fire breaths at Aries but misses, it did distract him a bit, the Count of Saint Germain shot a vaporizing beam at Aries from his phaser pistol, but Aries still controlled it with his mind, and cancelled it out, he used technopathy to get into a car to flee. The five see the nearest car was close by, everybody except Volvox entered, they chase him while Volvox watched and used his telekinesis to stop the technology from hurting others. Tom drove the car while Dommiel and Giovi used their telekinesis to resist Aries' control, he keeps driving away and was speeding, his technopathy made him have complete control over the car he was in, so he did not have to slow down at turns. Tom drove as fast as he could and kept an eye on Aries' car, they keep driving and the Count of Saint Germain tried shooting down several things to block Aries' path, but Aries made the car change to flying mode and flew above it. Tom looks around and sees there were buttons to push to change the car to either a plane or a boat, "How convenient." Tom said, and he pushes the button to change the car into a plane, it shifted and flew, they go after Aries. Aries flies around and tried to make the weapons shoot Tom down, he controlled the steering wheel and dodged each one by doing barrel rolls. They see the underwater area next, so Tom and Aries change their vehicles to boats and drive around, the underwater missile launchers and lasers fire at Tom, he dodged them by just speeding up, the water mines did not come out fast enough to blow Tom up. They arrive back on land and change back to the cars, they keep driving and see Volvox was busy keeping the technology at bay with his telekinesis. Volvox sees Aries' car and he fires a fire breath from his skeletal head to in front of Aries, he drove into it and his car exploded, Aries survived the explosion, but Dommiel uses his telekinesis to hold Aries in place and puts him on the front of the car Tom was driving. Tom turns the steering wheel to the left and accelerates, they see a streetlight pole up ahead. Aries screams as Tom drives into it, the four jump out and the car goes into the pole and explodes, Aries got killed in the process. All of the technology turns off again but soon comes back on, "Alright, that's all of them." the Count of Saint Germain said, "All that's left is the king." Tom replied, "And his daughter." Dommiel said, "Whatever happened to his wife?" Volvox asked, "You killed her back in 1945, by using your telekinesis to crash a plane with her in it." a male computer replied, Volvox smiled, "So, what now?" Tom asked, "We wait, the king has no choice but to face us on his own now." Volvox replied, and they went to go help the aliens build their fighting arena. Twilight Sparkle and the others arrive into the microorganism area, "Okay, let's give that spell a try." Twilight Sparkle said, and she, Starlight Glimmer, Rarity, and Sunburst cast the spell together, everybody took notice of the magic aura on their horns, the spell was cast, and to their shocks, it did not work, "What? The spell didn't work." Sunburst said, "As we said, magic's a non-renewable resource to us, so while it works outside our country, it won't work in here." Flagellum said, "So? How do we see you guys?" Sandbar asked, "Use the microscopes." Cilia replied, and they showed them what they were, they see the microorganisms everywhere, "I can see!" Silverstream said, "I wanna meet them." Pinkie Pie said, "They can hear you." Flagellum replied, "What do you guys have for culture?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "We never had a culture, we've been busy surviving." Flagellum replied, "No music?" Yona asked, "We're too small to play them." Cilia replied, "How about fashion?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Nope." Flagellum replied, "Art." Scootaloo said, "No." Cilia replied, "What about cuisine?" Apple Bloom asked, "We eat dead bodies, body waste, and plant litter." Flagellum replied, surprising the others, "That most certainly does not sound appealing." Rarity said, "It is to us." Cilia replied, "Is there anything y'all have over the other places?" Applejack asked, "We're the most populous group." Flagellum replied, "What are those in the water over there?" Fluttershy asked, the others look and see them, "Those are the plankton." Flagellum replied, "I was hoping there would be more here." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, sorry to disappoint." Cilia replied, "It's okay, come on, everycreature, it's time to report our findings." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all head home, back to their native countries. Volvox and his four friends look around and see the damage that was caused, "Wow, we really did make a mess." Tom said, "Not just us." Volvox replied, they hear screams of rage and see the Gremlin King leading the small gremlins, Flibbertigibbet was standing to his right, "You killed my twelve most trusted men, you will pay!" the Gremlin King said angrily, "I will now never get a date, prepare to die!" Flibbertigibbet said angrily, and she ran to them while screaming, "Flibbertigibbet! No!" the Gremlin King said, Dommiel and Giovi just use their telekinesis to hold her up and tear her apart, killing her, "Look at how many gremlins I have, Volvox, you're outnumbered." the Gremlin King said, "Mutants, Force Choke." Volvox said, and they do, shocking the world's natives, they were watching since they were loud, they stop and were out of energy, "What are you going to do now?" the Gremlin King asked smugly, "Grid, use the satellite." Volvox said, and Grid typed in several codes, a satellite in space aligns itself and fires a big missile. Everybody stands around, "I don't see anything happening." the Gremlin King said, "Give it a few seconds." Volvox replied, and they do, a twinkle was in the sky, "Hey, what's that?" a small male gremlin asked, they all look and saw the missile, the gremlins scream and run away, the missile hits the ground and explodes. The world's natives looked on with horror and then at the sky, they did not see anything. The gremlins run back, "What was that?!" the Gremlin King asked, "We got kinetic bombardment." the Count of Saint Germain replied, shocking the world's natives, "Check it out." the Gremlin King said, and they get a computer, the gremlins were shocked, "it's from a satellite in space!" a male gremlin said, shocking the natives, "Take it out!" the Gremlin King said, "We can't, we can't breathe up there!" another male gremlin replied, "Then we'll just have to migrate elsewhere." the Gremlin King said, "That won't work!" a male gremlin said, "What?!" the Gremlin King asked, "That satellite is remotely controlled, they can hit us anywhere in this world with it!" another male gremlin replied, horrifying the world's natives, "What are you going to do now?" Volvox asked while smiling, the Gremlin King sighed, he got on his knees, "I surrender." the Gremlin King said, "Wait, you're not going to put up a fight?" Dommiel asked, "I don't know how to fight." the Gremlin King replied, "What is your power?" Tom asked, "Telepathic control, that's all." the Gremlin King replied, "You're the leader, and you can't even defend yourself? You have no right to be a leader, then." Volvox said, "I only became the king because my father was the previous king." the Gremlin King replied, the five shook their heads, "Alright, take them away, we already have a punishment for you guys tomorrow." Volvox said, and every gremlin was arrested, "Look at that, the kinetic bombardment came in handy after all." the Count of Saint Germain said, the other four smiled, "No! No! No!" Princess Cadence said angrily as she flew to them, she landed to their rights and ran to them, "Take that down!" Princess Cadence said angrily, "How come?" Volvox asked, "What do you mean how come?! I am not comfortable with my kingdom able to be destroyed from an area we can't reach!" Princess Cadence replied, "What about the others?" Tom asked, Volvox looks and sees the other countries agreed, "Yeah, we have to, we don't have a choice." Volvox replied, "Good! Don't even think about using it!" Princess Cadence said, and she flew away. The Council went over to Volvox and the others, "Good work, guys, we knew you'd win, we predicted it with numerology, now onto the next business at hand: rebuilding." Darwin said, "Don't you guys have work drones?" Volvox asked, "Well, yes, but you five have to rebuild the country, yourselves, since you all destroyed the country, you have to pay for it, too." Darwin replied, "Wait, I don't have any money?" Volvox asked, "Things are different from the past, Volvox, we are now living in a democratic society, we decide on the rulers." Grid replied, "Then why am I still the ruler?" Volvox asked, "Because we know it's your job to watch our science and technology evolve, and the citizens like you." Lizmarie replied, much to the world's natives' confusion, "Well, you all have to start rebuilding and paying now." Zerbebuth said, "Come on, guys, let's go see how long it takes." Volvox said, his four friends agreed and the Count of Saint Germain opened a portal and they go into it. The five travel through time and see their fixed country, it only took a few days, and they were still on the world, "What'd you know, it only takes a few days to fix." Dommiel said, "Come on, let's go." Volvox replied, the other four smiled and they were about to enter the future, but a yellow aura appears on them and they are pulled back into the present, they turn around and saw Princess Celestia in the air, she was at Volvox's level, "No, you are not going to be lazy and just go to the future where everything is fixed, fix it, yourselves." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away, "The gremlins broke out!" a male human said, and everybody saw them running around to cause havoc, "Everybody, use the Tau Cannons." Volvox said, and the military does, the orange beams ricochet and destroy the gremlins. The unicorns cast magic and take them away with telekinesis, "No! That's too powerful!" Twilight Sparkle said, the gremlins laugh, "Gluon guns." Volvox said, and blue and purple beams were shot, the gremlins hit by them were disintegrated, the unicorns take them away as well, "No!" Princess Cadence said, "BFG10k." Volvox said, and one was shot, everybody moved away. A green sphere goes towards the gremlins, green laser beams come out of the sphere, the small gremlins who were hit by it disintegrated within seconds, almost all of them were killed, the green sphere hit a streetlight pole and disappeared, the unicorns angrily take it away with their telekinesis, "No! Absolutely not!" Twilight Sparkle said angrily, they look and see the other countries were scared of their weaponry. Everybody hears flying and sees Dommiel was using the flying tank, its invisibility cloak was activated. Dommiel begins shooting the machine gun turret and destroys the gremlins, he also leans forward to cut them with the obsidian propeller blades. The gremlins screamed as they ran away, "NO!!" Princess Cadence yelled angrily as she made crystals appear on it to make it fall, the world's natives were still angry at them. Dommiel came out of the flying tank, "Do we have anything else?" Volvox asked, "We got the PRL 412." Darwin replied, "That's not going to work, it only works on parasites." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Where was it when we fought Gemini?" Dommiel asked, "It's not done yet, it's still in the developmental stage." Darwin replied, Volvox sighed, "Rearrest the gremlins, we'll start rebuilding after the tournament." Volvox said, and they arrested the gremlins and called it a day. The next day comes and the fighting tournament was ready, every species was allowed to participate, Volvox was on a throne and watched, "Okay, everybody, as usual in devilgor tradition, we will start with a warm up for you all, bring in the gremlins." Zerbebuth said, and they were put in, the Gremlin King was in front of them, "Stupid restraints." the Gremlin King grumbled, "Okay, release the animals." Cecil said, and lions, bears, tigers, cougars, and snakes were put in, the gremlins scream in horror when they realized they were going to be eaten, "Stop!" Twilight Sparkle said as she flew to them, "What are you guys doing?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "This is a custom, before we begin the tournament, we start by having the wild animals eat the gremlins." Zerbebuth replied, "What?! That's cruelty!" Twilight Sparkle said, "Is something the matter?" Zancrus asked, "Yes! Sacrificing lives for celebration is not okay!" Twilight Sparkle replied, "You are disrespecting our culture right now." Zerbebuth said, "Culture?! This is culture?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "You don't know our ways." Zancrus replied, Twilight Sparkle turned around, "Don't any of you have a problem with this?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Nope, humans did the same thing with criminals back in Rome a long time ago." Marie replied, "What?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "That's true, we did this, too." Darwin replied, Twilight Sparkle was very shocked, "How was this came up with, anyway?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "This is the day Volvox freed us from the gremlins, we do this to them as punishment for enslaving us, working us to death, and feeding us to the fauna of our planet, this is our way of revenge." Zerbebuth replied, "This is wrong!" Twilight Sparkle said, "I don't see a downside to this." Volvox replied, the others agreed, Twilight Sparkle was shocked, "Cancel this! Or Equestria will go to war against you guys!" Twilight Sparkle said, the others look at Equestria to see if she was bluffing, they saw she was not, and due to the other creatures going to their school, the other countries were their allies, and they will go to war with them as well, "We have no choice, guys, we have to skip the opening ceremony, but we'll continue the tournament." Volvox said, "Uh, Volvox?" Lizmarie asked, they all look and see the wild animals have already eaten and killed the Gremlin King and the small gremlins, shocking Twilight Sparkle, "Go back in time!" Twilight Sparkle said, "And fight the gremlins all over again? I think not." the Count of Saint Germain replied, Twilight Sparkle thought about it, "Yeah, you're right, you guys will cause even more damage." Twilight Sparkle said, she sighed and flew away. The tournament began and everybody was excited, the first round was Tom and Lizmarie, the two went in, Lizmarie used her telekinesis to hold Tom in place and slam him into the ground. The second round was Harvey and Smolder, "Whoa, what happened to you?" Smolder asked, "Long story." Harvey replied, Smolder got into a fighting stance, Harvey was ready as well. Smolder flew to him and tried to punch him several times, Harvey dodged them all, the dragons noticed he was fast, Harvey tries to punch Smolder with his right fist, but she flew back, Harvey hit the ground, and put a crater in it, shocking the dragons. Smolder shoots fire out of her mouth and Harvey ducked, he shot fire out of his mouth, which had no effect on Smolder. Smolder tried flying around and breathing fire again, Harvey's robotic eye lights up red and he begins shooting red beams out of it, it shot as fast as a machine gun, and was locked onto Smolder, surprising the dragons, they were happy when she dodged them all, so Harvey changed his right hand into a gun and shot out a purple sonic beam, Smolder got hit, she grunted when she fell, she had black smoke on her body. Harvey lifts her up with his telekinesis and pulls her forward, she breathes fire and sets Harvey on fire, it did not do anything, Harvey proceeds to lift her up, but Smolder grabs his neck and knocks him down, she was about to choke him, "I got you, too." Harvey said, "Huh?" Smolder asked with shock, she looks and sees Harvey has wrapped his tail around her neck, the two realize they were ready to choke one another, Smolder sighed and let go of his neck, Harvey took his tail off of her, "And... it's a tie." Dommiel said, everybody cheered while the two went back, "You did good out there, Smolder." Princess Ember said while smiling, "Thanks, he was tough." Smolder replied, the next contestants were chosen, it was Zira and Gallus, the two walked to the arena, "Let's see what we got." Gallus said, "You're on, birdie." Zira said, Gallus flew up while Zira jumped around the arena and tried to catch him, she could not reach him, Zira smiled, "I appreciate challenging prey." Zira said, "Catch me if you can, then." Gallus replied, and he flew faster, Zira ran around and watched him carefully, she jumped and grabbed onto his hind legs. Gallus shifts his body and slams Zira's body into the wall, he proceeded to kick her several times with his hind legs, Zira grabbed them, "I got you now." Zira said, "Not yet." Gallus replied, and he flew up, Zira let go and landed on her feet, in front of several humanoid plants, she jumped up and was about to slash Gallus with her claws, Gallus grabbed her arms with his talons, but Zira's force pulled him down, the two fell, the world's natives gasped, the two were on the ground, and panted, "I give up." Gallus said weakly, "Me too." Zira replied weakly, "It's another draw." the Count of Saint Germain said, everybody cheered while they were carried away to receive medical treatment. The third round was Zancrus and Firestorm, their flames canceled each other out, so Zancrus used her physical strength to beat him, she only did several punches and he went down after a minute. The fourth round was T-1850 and Limestone Pie, "You're a new one." T-1850 said, "Name's Limestone Pie." Limestone Pie said, "Whoo-hoo!" Pinkie Pie said loudly in the crowd, it distracted Limestone Pie, she looked at her angrily, "Go, Lime, go! Go, Lime, go!" Pinkie Pie said happily, Limestone Pie rolled her eyes and looked at T-1850, "Let's get this over with." Limestone Pie said, T-1850 ran towards her and tried to punch her with his left fist, he cracked the ground, he saw Limestone Pie was not there, T-1850 was hit in the back of the head, Limestone Pie kicked him with her hind legs, it was strong enough to knock him down, everybody cheered at the fact that Limestone Pie won, "Too easy, give me something harder!" Limestone Pie said, "Well, in that case." Volvox replied, and he chooses Limestone Pie's next opponent, it was Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie gasped in horror and looked back while covering her eyes, "I can't watch! My friend and my sister are about to fight! I can't watch!" Pinkie Pie said, and she began to cry dramatically; "I've been looking forward to this." Limestone Pie said while smiling, "Ha! You're on!" Rainbow Dash replied angrily, and she stood up on her hind legs. Limestone Pie and Rainbow Dash begin punching one another in their faces with their front hooves, the two grunted from each hit they received, while Rainbow Dash's punches were faster, Limestone Pie's were stronger. Limestone Pie hits Rainbow Dash in the face with her front right hoof, Rainbow Dash grunted loudly while her head turned and spit flew out, Rainbow Dash looked at Limestone Pie and growled. Rainbow Dash ran to Limestone Pie and punched really fast, Limestone Pie was still standing, she was starting to get exhausted, Rainbow Dash smiled and launched a series of punches, but they did not knock Limestone Pie down, Rainbow Dash was then tired, "Call it a draw?" Limestone Pie asked, Rainbow Dash looked at Pinkie Pie and saw her crying, "Yeah." Rainbow Dash replied, and they shook hooves, "Another draw." Tom said, Pinkie Pie gasped with happiness and watched the two walk back while smiling, Rainbow Dash goes back to them, "I've got enough energy for one more." Rainbow Dash said, Volvox picks out a random name and sees her next opponent was Darwin, he jumped down and his eyes turned red, black bio-armor appeared on him, "Whoa, that is so cool." Rainbow Dash said, "You can buy one on your own." Darwin replied, Rainbow Dash was happy to hear that, she flies forward to attack Darwin, but was soon panting, realizing she was more tired than she thought, Darwin punches her with his left fist and she screams while she flew through the air and hit a wall, she fell onto the ground and groaned, everybody cheered while Darwin changed back to normal and walked away while Rainbow Dash was carried away to receive medical treatment. The seventh round was Princess Ember and Zerbebuth, "This oughta be interesting." Princess Ember said, "Let's see what we got." Zerbebuth said, and the two were ready to fight, Zerbebuth runs to Princess Ember and he tries to punch her with his right fist, but Princess Ember flew back and Zerbebuth hit the ground, putting a large crater in it. Princess Ember flew forward and breathed fire at Zerbebuth, he canceled it out with his own fire breath, Princess Ember flies to his face and lands a few punches, Zerbebuth exhaled sharply at realizing that Princess Ember was pretty strong, despite her small size. Princess Ember flies to him again and he catches her in midair, he holds her in a lock, with his left arm going across her abdomen, and his right arm going across her neck, "You can give up if you want to." Zerbebuth said, Princess Ember's attention was caught, she could not give up, she would be a laughing stock in her country if she did, she grabs Zerbebuth's arms and pulls them away while grunting, she flew out of his grasp and the dragons cheered. Princess Ember flies to him and does a counterclockwise spin and kicks Zerbebuth with her left foot, Zerbebuth grunts while he was hit in the abdomen, the kick sent him into the air, he flew back a few feet. Zerbebuth landed on his feet and was still able to keep fighting, Princess Ember flew to him but he grabs her wrists and stretches them out, Princess Ember exclaimed with pain when she heard cracks in her wrists, Zerbebuth lets go and punches her with his left fist while she was falling, she hits a wall and grunts, Zerbebuth flies to her and begins punching her while she was stunned, the dragons were worried when she fell. Princess Ember groaned while Zerbebuth watched, Princess Ember stood up and could still fight, the dragons cheered, she punched Zerbebuth in the abdomen a few times, but did not do much, Zerbebuth was about to hit her back with both of his fists, but Princess Ember flew up and did a haymaker punch with her right fist and hit Zerbebuth in the face, he let out a slight grunt and fell to his knees, he panted, so did Princess Ember, she fell from exhaustion, the dragons were worried, but Princess Ember did a thumbs up with her right hand to let the others know she was still conscious, "It's a tie." Volvox said, everybody cheered while the humans carried them away to treat any serious wounds. Volvox picks out the next two fighters and saw it was himself against Dragon Lord Torch, everybody cheered at seeing the two getting ready to fight, Volvox walked forward while Torch waited for him to come. Volvox arrived and Torch began flying to him, he shot fire out of his mouth, Volvox ducked and then shot fire out of his three mouths, Torch flew down and dodged them, he flies to Volvox's chest and began punching him, it did no damage to Volvox's body, Volvox reared up on his hind legs and put his front feet together, he was about to hit Torch's back with his giant front feet, the dragons gasped at what they were seeing, Volvox was about to hit Torch, but his front feet got stopped in midair, "Hmm?" Volvox asked, he looked and saw Torch holding his front feet up with his hands, he resisted Volvox and raised Volvox's front legs over his head while he flew up, Volvox jumped in the air and was about to smash Torch with his hind feet, Torch simply flew back and dodged it. Volvox landed and Torch flew to him and began punching him in several areas to look for a weak spot, he did not find any, so he flew up to Volvox's heads and tried punching him, it annoyed Volvox a bit, but Volvox exhaled sharply through his noses, it shot Torch back, but he continued to fly, Torch breathed fire onto Volvox's head, it did not do much, Volvox punches Torch with his front left foot and Torch was sent flying across the arena, but he regained control and flew to him. Volvox watches Torch come and he grabs him with his front left foot while he was in midair, he threw Torch onto the ground, the dragons gasped, they saw Torch was stuck in the ground, unconscious, he was taken away for medical treatment, the dragons were scared of Volvox's strength, he went back to his seat. Volvox picks out the next fighters, it was Garble and Leonardo, Garble went down in less than a minute with one hit. Volvox picks out the next fighters and saw they were King Thorax and Yona, but the two did not fight due to them being friends, the humans, mutants, machines, aliens, plants, animals, bugs, and microorganisms groan with disappointment, "Sorry, guys, but that's all, it's getting late." Volvox said, and they all went home. Volvox and his four friends were fixing the country the next day, "What happened to our present selves anyway?" Dommiel asked, "They were collected by Brainiac." Grid replied, the five realized what Grid was saying, one thing that caught the attention of the five was they saw seven bronze statues in a museum, the center statue was Samus Aran, to her right was Master Chief, Bill Rizer, and Gordon Freeman, and to her left was Solid Snake, a male Commander Shephard, and Isaac Clarke, the five ignore it and keep fixing up their country. The five finished after a few days, they began establishing relationships with the other countries, the five's ways of doing things made their relationships a bit sour with the world's natives, one thing none of them liked was the other countries will also have a say in their technology's development, especially their weapons, since they were much more advanced than the weapons the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs had, they were shocked to see some of their weapons, the two that they highly disapproved of was Scarecrow's fear gas, and the shredder bullets, which would get shot into someone, eight blades would protrude out and stab their inner organs, and then spin counterclockwise to cut their internal organs apart, they also did not like the bullets and arrows that change trajectory while in midair, one thing they also highly disapproved of was this thing they had called a Marker, Princess Celestia ordered it to be destroyed when she discovered what it does. Volvox and Tom were busy working on the light trains and set them up so people could go to the space station, "Okay, let's try it out." Volvox said, and a white train went into space at the speed of light, shocking the world's natives, they also saw them use bullet trains in the main city, the ponies were shocked, "Ah've never seen a train that fast before." Applejack said, "Me neither, Applejack, all of their science is beyond the physics and laws I know." Twilight Sparkle replied as she shuffled through her science books with her telekinesis, "I can't believe it, though, those trains go faster than the speed most Pegasi can fly at." Rainbow Dash said, the natives went over to Volvox's country and demanded the knowledge on the bullet trains, they were shocked by how fast and stable it was, they were taught how to control them, and they replaced the old trains of their world. Friends and Family Day came and Twilight Sparkle was expecting someone from Volvox's country to come, "This way." Grid said, and he brings Nick to the school, Twilight Sparkle trotted to him, "You the student?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yeah, name's Nick." Nick replied, "Uh, Grid, we would like for one of every creature to come to this school." Starlight Glimmer said, "They are too busy to attend, only Nick was available." Grid replied, So, Nick, what is there to know about you?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "My mom's here as well, but not to visit, it's to check something." Nick replied, "Where is she?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "She's coming." Nick replied, and they soon see Orchid come, they were bewildered by her outfit, "My, I must say, what a strange outfit." Rarity said, "It's kind of a uniform." Orchid replied, "Can you use your magic here, mom?" Nick asked, shocking the ponies, Orchid holds her arms out with her fingers and thumbs bent, they were across from one another, a yellow beam with gray rocks formed between her thumbs, green tornadoes formed between her pinkies, red and orange fire formed between her ring fingers, blue water formed between her index fingers, and purple electricity formed between her middle fingers, shocking the world's natives, she put her arms down and they disappeared, "Unlikely, the magic in this world is different from the magic in my world." Orchid replied, "Wait? Magic?" Spike asked, "Yeah, my mom's a sorceress." Nick replied, "Uh, what's your name?" Sunburst asked, "Orchid." Orchid replied, "How strong was your magic in your world, Orchid?" Sunburst asked, "I was one of the court wizards for the royal family." Orchid replied, surprising the natives, "What spells do you have, Orchid?" Princess Celestia asked, "I control the five elements of my world, fire, water, earth, wind, and lightning." Orchid replied, "Oh, so in other words, you control nature." Princess Luna said, "Yeah, pretty much." Orchid replied, "You should study with us, Orchid, our magic controls much more." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, I'll see if I have the energy." Orchid replied, "You going home, mom?" Nick asked, "Yeah, your father already approved to have you here." Orchid replied, "Alright, bye, mom." Nick said, "Bye." Orchid replied, and she walked back home, "What's your father like, Nick?" Fluttershy asked, "You already met him." Nick replied, "Wait, we did?" Gallus asked, Nick nodded, "That reminds me, someone from our country actually came here before, he is here as well." Grid said, and he walks over, the ponies were very surprised to see who it was, it was Dwayne. The Mane Six run to him and hug him, "Hey, Dwayne, how have you been?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I've been fine." Dwayne replied, "Are things better?" Rarity asked, "Much better." Dwayne replied, "How have your memories been?" Princess Cadence asked, "I've come to terms with them, I still have my powers." Dwayne replied, "You attendin', too, Dwayne?" Applejack asked, "No, I thought I'd just stop by and say hi." Dwayne replied, "Well, it's nice to see you again, Dwayne, and as I said, you're always welcome here." Princess Celestia said, Dwayne smiled, "It is time for us to go, Volvox has things for me to do." Grid said, "Alright, bye, guys." Twilight Sparkle replied, and Dwayne and Grid left. Nick does the work in the School of Friendship and the teachers eventually wanted to see if he had magic like Orchid, but she did not teach him, and he was too old to learn it now, so when he tried, he accidentally ended up transforming, the natives were shocked to see Nick was actually part human, part mutant, part machine, and part alien, they realized Harvey was his father, since he had the exact same mutations as him, they all learn about his adventures and Harvey being from a world where hybrids like himself were shunned and mistreated by society, and Volvox allowing them into his country so they can be free. One night, Nick was in the Crystal Empire, he was busy exploring the world as a tourist in his free time, he was standing outside while still mutated, shirtless, barefoot, and his pants were ripped and went halfway down his calves, he was looking at the full moon. Princess Cadence walked to him from behind, "Nick?" Princess Cadence asked, Nick did not respond, he just continued to look at the moon, Princess Cadence walked over and stood to his left, "Nick, what's wrong?" Princess Cadence asked, "I'm just thinking about my dad's home world, if we do find it, I'll have to leave the school to help him fight for the hybrids' freedom." Nick replied, "You sound like you admire your father." Princess Cadence said, "I do, back when I was a kid, he'd always talk about them, I thought he was just telling made up stories, when I went to his world, I realized he was telling the truth, and I regretted not spending time with him, we're close now." Nick replied, "Which parent do you admire more, Nick?" Princess Cadence asked, "Definitely my dad, my dad is a hero." Nick replied, "What about your mother?" Princess Cadence asked, "My mom didn't do much, her world is not like my dad's world, hybrids are admired, not shunned." Nick replied, "Nick, look at me." Princess Cadence said, and Nick did, "We all discussed what to do if we do find your father's world, we'll be going, too." Princess Cadence said, "What? Really?" Nick asked, "Yes, we all heard about your father's world from Volvox, about the discrimination and the shunning of the hybrids, if he does find it, we'll help, too, our goal is to spread friendship far and wide, no one deserves to be mistreated because of their heritage or physical appearance like those hybrids, they need to know that you, your father, and his friends are not the only ones who wish for them to be free." Princess Cadence replied, "Did dad tell you about the government doing experimentation on people they don't like to change them into hybrids?" Nick asked, "Yes, Volvox told us about that, too, no one deserves such a fate, not even a criminal, changing into something they're not so society would reject them is something we cannot forgive." Princess Cadence replied, "That's what happened to me, since I have the same genetic code as my dad, that world's top scientist made me into what I am, he was going to brainwash me into being his slave and personal assassin, but I escaped, and fought the government in that world, just like my father before me." Nick said, "What was your father like before he got changed into what he is now?" Princess Cadence asked, "The same as now, but he didn't have his abilities back then, my dad was always a hybrid sympathizer, they were killed by the law enforcement in his world." Nick replied, much to Princess Cadence's shock, "You mean, any attempt to help them was illegal?" Princess Cadence asked, "Yes, kids were taught that they are disgusting creatures, and should not receive help, children who did try to help them were offered to the government by their parents to change them into hybrids." Nick replied, Princess Cadence was horrified, "Are they accepted back by their parents?" Princess Cadence asked, "No, not at all, not only will their families reject them, but they will be arrested by the law, and forced to work as slaves, refusing to work will result in a death sentence." Nick replied, Princess Cadence had a shocked face, "Was your mother's world like that, too?" Princess Cadence asked, "No, not at all, the people there were very friendly, hybrids are treated with respect because they have more work and responsibilities than those who are not hybrids." Nick replied, Princess Cadence smiled, "You should head home, Nick, it's getting dark, I have to get some sleep." Princess Cadence said, "Alright, good night, Cadence." Nick replied, and she left, Nick just looked at the moon for the rest of the night. Three weeks pass and Volvox still had an overall strained relationship with the other countries, the world's natives were using some of their technology to get around and get things done, they fused their technology with their magic to create new things. A portal opens and dead hybrids pour out of the sky, it closed, everybody looked at it, "I recognize some of them, they're from my world, the dead bodies of the hybrids they're enslaving must be too much, so they dumped them elsewhere." Harvey said, "Hold on, let me try something." the Count of Saint Germain replied, and he tried to open a portal to Harvey's world, he could not, he shook his head. The world's natives look at the hybrids and see they came in many different shapes and sizes, "Well, let's bury them." Dommiel said, everybody agreed and they were buried. Months pass and Twilight Sparkle was trying to figure out how the machines predicted the future with numerology, she was also informed where Salatun was at, she used her telescope to look at the Taurus constellation in hopes of finding it, and Rainbow Dash wanted Tank to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, "Volvox, the quantum tearing device is ready just as we expected, we can return home." Grid said, "You sound like you knew it would be repaired at this time." Volvox replied, "It was predicted by numerology." Grid said, Volvox did not pay attention and told Grid to use it without saying anything. Pinkie Pie was trying out the smell-o-scope, "That was stinky." Pinkie Pie said, "You just smelled Uranus." Lance replied, the natives of the country laugh, Pinkie Pie did not laugh, "I want raspberry glaze, vanilla scented, chocolate turnover!" Pinkie Pie said angrily, "Alright, hang on." Lance replied, and he adjusted it to Pluto, Pinkie Pie smelled it, "Ooh, rock candy with chocolate." Pinkie Pie said, and she tried it out more, only Uranus smelled bad. A few days pass and the people of the country were ready to head home, they all said bye and they teleported their country back to where it was originally at after getting it back in space, Volvox continued to look for Harvey's world. Scootaloo flew around with anti-gravity boots, Princess Ember used lightsabers, the royal guards now all had bio-armor, and everybody else tried out their technology, their world developed into ways they thought was never possible. FantasyVolvox was created by the Maker to watch Earth and direct the humans, even though he was the very first species to exist on the planet. Volvox watched the angels and demons get created, he befriended Dommiel, a demon, and now served as his right hand man, the humans were created afterwards. The Maker wanted Volvox to make the humans develop with either magic or science, both had downsides, science was going to be extremely advanced eventually, but it would take thousands of years to fully develop, while magic will be powerful at the beginning, it was a non-renewable resource, it will get weaker as the years went by, and would eventually be gone. Volvox decided to have the humans develop in magic, he watched them develop and control nature. There were only four elements to control in the beginning, they were fire, water, earth, and wind, after sometime, much more magic was discovered, some harmed, some helped. The humans were not the only creatures living on Earth, they also had orcs, trolls, ghouls, and goblins. The humans evolved and changed into new creatures as they learned magic, those who learned fire evolved into giants, those who learned water evolved into mermen, mermaids, and nymphs, those who learned earth evolved into dwarfs, and those who learned wind evolved into elves and fairies, some humans learned more than one element, but they remained human. Volvox's land had two elements that were considered forbidden arts, light and dark, humans who practiced light magic turned into angels, while those who practiced dark magic turned into demons, light and dark were much more powerful than the four main elements, they evolved as well, fire users were able to control lava, water users were able to control ice and snow, earth users were able to control the rocks, the ground, sand, wood, and stones, and wind users were able to control the atmosphere and sky. Volvox's land was an island in the center of the Earth, and divided into five areas, the north was volcanic and hot, the west was filled with water and had ice caps everywhere, the south was all forest and had trees everywhere, the east was floating in the air with each part of the land in the sky, there was brown dirt on the ground under the wind kingdom, and the center was like a modern neighborhood with a fortress where Volvox lived, none of the elements affected it. Volvox did not live alone in his gray fortress, his second-in-command and military general was Dommiel, he lived before the humans did, and has been with Volvox since the beginning, his adviser was the Count of Saint Germain, who was a time traveler and alchemist, his personal bodyguard was a ghoul named Giovi, who had knife blades in place for his claws, Volvox rescued him from execution years ago, his court wizard and other prophet was Tom, he would tell people of their futures, he had two pet birds with him, they were Phoenix and Thunderbird, Phoenix was made purely out of orange fire, and Thunderbird was made purely out of blue electricity, Volvox has raised them since birth, Volvox's last twelve members of his court were a group called the Zodiac, they were mystical animals, they were Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Sheep's real name was Goat, but he liked being called Sheep better, Tiger and Dragon were the commanders, the two have fought for Volvox's favoritism, but he has assured them numerous times that he likes them both equally, and they should stop fighting, each one of the twelve animals had their own unique powers, they were led by one of Dommiel's friends, his name was Tiān lù, he was a Pixiu, and hired to keep Tiger and Dragon in line, so they do not try anything reckless to win Volvox's approval. It was modern day and magic was still strong, despite not being as strong as before, due to magic being a non-renewable resource, they had two foreigners in their world, they were both from another world, their names were Harvey and Orchid. Harvey was part human, part mutant, part machine, and part alien, he was about six feet tall, had slightly tan skin, an ectomorph body, toned muscles, an oblong face shape, and short black hair. The upper-right part of Harvey's face was robotic, made out of silver metal, and had a red slanted eye, his left cheek was alien with dark red skin, his human eye was blue, his right foot was an alien's foot with black claws for his toenails, while his left foot was robotic and silver, his right hand was robotic, and could change to a gun, his left hand was alien with the dark red and dark orange skin with black claws, he had the wings of the aliens coming out of his back, they had silver robotic parts on them, gills on the sides of his neck, Harvey's abdomen was silver and metallic in some places, dark red with alien skin in other areas, and the rest was fine, and he had the alien's tail coming out of his tailbone, Harvey could make the three horns of the aliens extrude from his head at will, it was one of the four mutant qualities he got, the other three were having telekinesis, telepathy, and technopathy, Harvey only had on one piece of clothing, a black pair of pants that were ripped at his lower shins. Orchid had pale skin, an hourglass body shape, an inverted triangle face, green eyes, and red hair that was a bob and went just past her ears, she was wearing a long-sleeve shirt, pants, and shoes, she had on a cape that went halfway down her back, they were all a light beige color, she had five small jewels that were circular in the center of her chest on her shirt, they formed a star, the left jewel was a red ruby, the lower-left jewel was a yellow topaz, the lower-right jewel was a green emerald, the right jewel was a blue sapphire, and the top jewel was a purple amethyst, each jewel represented one of the five elements Orchid controlled, the ruby represented fire, the topaz represented earth, the sapphire represented water, the emerald represented wind, and the amethyst represented lightning. Orchid's world was said to be very similar to Volvox's land, but the center of the world was also a kingdom, it had lightning in it, her world had hybrids which used more than one element, they were admired and loved by everyone, but they had more responsibilities in society because the royal family believed it would be unfair for those who could only use one element if they had to run society and politics as well, while they did not run society, they still had a say in what they wanted. Orchid was one of the six court wizards for the royal family, she controlled the five elements of her world, and was chosen to fight a man named Egliatos, he was a master of dark magic and necromancy, he destroyed Orchid's home, she and the other five were unsuccessful in defeating him, and he went into hiding. Orchid came to the current world because she wanted to take a break from fighting Egliatos, she met Harvey and they had a son named Nick, before that, the two built a house in the woods for them to leave behind the things of their previous lives that they did not want to take with them. The two were eventually found by a man from Harvey's world named Daraster and the two were poisoned and killed by him, Harvey told Nick about the location of the house and he went to Harvey's world, he was experimented on and received the same mutations as his father, and met a boy named Lance, who also had the same mutations, he was living with the three now. Nick went to Orchid's world afterwards and learned his mother was a sorceress, which surprised him, because she did not teach him any magic when she was alive. Nick eventually made an antidote and went back in time with magic from Orchid's world and science from Harvey's world, he went back to when the two were dying and gave them the antidote and they survived the poisoning, they then went through the portal and came to the present. Nick had a square face shape, short black hair, and blue eyes, he wore the same outfit was his father, along with black mid-calf length boots, and a black leather jacket, Lance had a rectangular face shape, short black hair, and only wore black pants, he had the exact same mutations as Harvey, and did not hide them. Tom came in to see Volvox and the others after working for the day, "Volvox, I have foreseen disaster." Tom said with his voice echoing, he wore a black helmet that covered his entire head, it was round like a sphere, and he had white monochromatic eyes, "What did you find?" Volvox asked, "Cyborea Iscariot is going to rise against us. She has twelve monsters, they are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, four unspecified beasts, Leviathan, Behemoth, Ziz, Popobawa, and her son, Judas Iscariot." Tom replied, "What do the four beasts look like?" Tiger asked, "I don't know, I was not able to see what they look like." Tom replied, "Where are they now?" Dommiel asked, "Scattered throughout the land." Tom replied, "Should we just take out Cyborea and be done with it?" Tiān lù asked, "No, if we do that, another might take over, we have to take out all of them." Volvox replied, "I say we take them out now." Dragon said, "I agree, let's kill them before they team up." the Count of Saint Germain replied, Giovi nodded in agreement, Phoenix and Thunderbird screeched with agreement, Volvox exhaled sharply, "Let's take them out now, but I also have a royal errand today, Orchid wants to see if we can try to find her world today since there's going to be a solar eclipse soon, she believes it's going to make finding her world easier." Volvox said, "I have foreseen that as well, disappointment awaits." Tom replied, "What did you see, exactly?" Volvox asked, "We are going to get transferred to a world of magic, but not Orchid's world." Tom replied, they hear walking and they see Orchid come in, "Orchid? But you're off today." Volvox said, "Nick and Lance are being too loud, Harvey's not helping either, so I'm coming here." Orchid replied, and she sits and begins reading a book, "Are you going to help us with Cyborea?" Rat asked, "Depends, I'm still tired from fighting Lucifer and his six princes." Orchid replied, "Uh, Volvox? The solar eclipse is about to happen." Monkey said, Orchid looks and puts her book down, "You know you won't find Orchid's world, and yet, you continue to try anyway?" Tom asked, "You can't always be right, Tom." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "I'd like to know why you're here, you're the one who can travel to the future." Tom said, "But knowing what will happen is no fun, I want it to be a surprise." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Me too." Dommiel said, "Plus, Saint Germain gets tired from using his powers, you don't." Volvox said, "Okay, fair enough." Tom replied, "Okay, let's get ready." Volvox said, and they see the solar eclipse happen, Volvox, Orchid, and the Count of Saint Germain get ready to cast a spell together, and they transfer the entire land elsewhere. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs were living peacefully, they all sense a surge of magic that was to the northeast of Canterlot and to the southeast of the Crystal Empire. Everybody looks and watches since the surge was huge, several gasp when blue electricity appeared. The surge disappears and Volvox's land appears. The natives of the world were in awe at how much nature there was to it, the north was filled with volcanoes, the west had water and ice caps everywhere, the south had trees and forest everywhere, and the east had all of its land floating in the sky, "Wow, that place is beautiful." Twilight Sparkle said, "I can't wait, either, I want to see all of the critters living there." Fluttershy replied, their four other friends smiled. Everybody sees Volvox appear in the center of the land, on top of his fortress, the world's natives were shocked by how big he was, they hear floating and see Orchid appear in midair, Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer were especially surprised, they have never seen a human with magic before, "Is this your home world?" Volvox asked with his center head, his voice scared some of the natives, "No, it isn't." Orchid replied, "As I said, disappointment awaits." Tom said as he floated up to her, "Don't you ever have false visions?" Orchid asked, "My visions of the future have never been wrong." Tom replied, surprising the world's natives to see they had magic. Everybody hears movement and they see the creatures of Volvox's world, they see the giants in the north, mermen, mermaids, and nymphs in the west, dwarfs in the south, and elves and fairies in the east, but to Volvox's surprise, there were more creatures, the north now also had centaurs, oreads, golems, and Valkyries, the west had selkies, swan maidens, hyades, sirens, nereids, naiads, and oceanids, the south had alseides, auloniades, leimakides, napaeae, oreads, anthousai, dryads, hamadryade, hyleoroi, and satyrs, the east had hesperides, Nephele, sphinxes, and harpies, "What the? What happened to you guys?" Volvox asked, "Sorry, Volvox, we got a little too carried away while practicing magic." a female harpy replied, the sky begins forming around and everybody sees angels fly down, they were in awe at their white wings with yellow auras around them, the ground bursts open and the demons come out, along with vampires, werewolves, specters, wraiths, the jinn, three Gorgons, incubi, succubi, and alps, "Where are the rest of the creatures? Come out, all of you." Volvox said, and they do, the orcs lived in the north, the trolls lived on the ice caps in the west, and the ghouls and goblins lived in the south, "Volvox, we also found more monsters." a mermaid said, and Volvox saw Scylla and Charybdis in the west, he saw Talos in the north, the Laestrygonians in the west, cyclopes in the south, and ekeks and wakwaks in the east. The world's natives were very shocked by how many creatures they had, "Wow, Ah gotta admit, they've got more creatures than we do." Applejack said, "Yeah, but they seem to have less countries, it looks like they only have five countries." Rainbow Dash replied, "Their magic looks different from ours, too, I wonder what they do." Twilight Sparkle said, Volvox looks at the creatures native to his land and he gets ready to address them, "As you all know, we're trying to find Orchid's world so she could go home, but unfortunately, we found the wrong one, I'm going to have to advise you all to hide for now, Cyborea Iscariot and her army is coming to fight us, I'm going to need you all to stay within your respective countries until my court and I deal with them, and of course, if you feel courageous or feel like helping, you're more than welcome to." Volvox said, the citizens all then went back into their homes, ignoring the natives that watched them, "Alright, Zodiac, let's go." Tiān lù said, and he flies into the air with the twelve Zodiac animals, the world's natives were in awe, "You should go with them, too, Tom." Volvox said, and he floated to them, everybody went on with their days while Volvox, Dommiel, Giovi, and the Count of Saint Germain searched for Orchid's world. Tom floats with the twelve Zodiac animals and Tiān lù, "Where are the beasts right now?" Rat asked, "There are five to the east, five to the west, two in the south, and Judas is going around everywhere." Tom replied, "Judas? That sounds familiar." Dog said, "He was the second-in-command of Mabus when he and Jesus fought many years ago, he is a war criminal that escaped justice." Tom replied, "How do you see the future anyway?" Cat asked, "The helmet I wear allows me to see the future, it is the Helmet of Nostradamus, it was made for me when I was his student." Tom replied, "I heard you had two teachers." Dragon said, "Yes, my other teacher was Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin, he taught me how to see into the future without the helmet." Tom replied, "What are you foreseeing with our battles?" Ox asked, "We will battle the monsters and emerge victorious in every one." Tom replied, "Who am I fighting?" Rat asked, "You will fight the first beast." Tom replied, "What about me?" Ox asked, "You're up against the second beast." Tom replied, "Who am I fighting against?" Tiger asked, "The third beast." Tom replied, "How about me?" Rabbit asked, "The White Horseman." Tom replied, "Who am I fighting?" Dragon asked, "The fourth beast." Tom replied, "What about me?" Snake asked, "The Pale Horseman." Tom replied, "Who am I fighting?" Horse asked, "Ziz." Tom replied, "How about me?" Sheep asked, "The Black Horseman." Tom replied, "What about me?" Monkey asked, "Behemoth." Tom replied, "Who am I up against?" Rooster asked, "The Red Horseman." Tom replied, "How about me?" Dog asked, "Leviathan." Tom replied, "What about me?" Pig asked, "The Popobawa." Tom replied, "Who am I up against?" Tiān lù asked, "Cyborea, herself." Tom replied, "Wait, who's up against Judas?" Dog asked, "I am." Tom replied, "Let's stick together, in case we have to back up one another in a fight." Tiān lù said, the Zodiac animals agreed, "What is Volvox doing right now?" Tiger asked, "He is currently meeting with the Hero from the Sky, Ash Williams." Tom replied, and they keep going forward. Volvox and his court were meeting with a man named Ash Williams, he had pale skin, short black hair, an oblong face shape, and brown eyes, he wore a dark blue long-sleeve shirt with most of the left half torn off, his pants were brown, and he wore black shoes, he had a holster on his back that held a sawed double barreled shotgun, and a red chainsaw in place of his right hand, which he lost one night while he was staying at a cabin, "Okay, Ash, I know you're still tired from your night in the cabin, and dealing with deadites, but you're the best line of defense I have for the people." Volvox said, "Best line of defense? Why don't you fight them on your own?" Ash asked, "Because I have other things to do at the moment." Volvox replied, "Yeah? Like what? Revive the deadites with the Book of the Dead?" Ash asked, "Look, Ash, I know you're still mad about that, but I have the Book of the Dead sealed away along with the other cursed objects." Volvox replied, "Well, I ain't helpin, Cerberus, the only place I help is the S-Mart store, and that place also sucks." Ash said, "I'm only asking you to try to do some good for the country, Ash." Volvox said, "Good? I'm the man with the gun, I could care less about your stinkin' country." Ash said, Orchid glared at him, "What would Linda say if she heard you now?" Volvox asked, "She would be proud of me, my mouth is why she fell in love with me." Ash replied, Orchid was shocked, "You... had a girlfriend?" Orchid asked, "Plenty, in fact." Ash replied, "How did she kiss with that mouth of hers when she was a deadite?" Dommiel asked, "It was less than groovy, I'll tell you that." Ash replied, Dommiel and the Count of Saint Germain laugh, Giovi smiled, "Why did you come to me for, Volvox?" Ash asked, "Because you're the most experienced when it comes to dealing with supernatural threats." Volvox replied, "Tell Pinhead and his cenobites to deal with them instead." Ash said, "There is no way I am using the Lament Configuration, Ash, it's staying locked away." Volvox replied, "How about the Tall Man?" Ash asked, "He's dead." Volvox replied, "Totoro." Ash said, "He's missing." Volvox replied, "Akuji." Ash said, "He's missing, too." Volvox replied, "Really? Last time I checked, Akuji was with Baron Samedi." Ash said, "Well, I'll ask Papa Legba to bring him back later." Volvox replied, "If we're done here, I'd like to go back, and tell me when you find my hand." Ash said, "Alright, Ash, you may leave." Volvox replied, and he used telekinesis to take Ash off of his fortress' roof and put him on the ground. Ash begins to walk home and saw Doctor Whooves, "Great wickering stallions! Ashley J. Williams, it's you, the Hero from the Sky!" Doctor Whooves said, "How the hell do you know my name?" Ash asked, "I was there! In 1300 AD!" Doctor Whooves replied, "Yeah? Well, I didn't see you." Ash said, "Why, I was far away, watching you." Doctor Whooves replied, "Well, stop stalking me, or I'm going to fill your nose with lead from my boomstick." Ash said, and he walked past him, he saw the Mane Six in front of him, "That's enough, you clearly need some lessons in friendship." Twilight Sparkle said, "The only friends I need are my chainsaw and my boomstick." Ash replied, "What in tarnation is a boomstick and a chainsaw?" Applejack asked, "Oh, you're one of those redneck people, you guys never were good with modern technology." Ash replied, "Hey!" Applejack said in an offended tone, "How offensively rude! Applejack here is a very hard worker." Rarity said, "So am I, I was fighting evil in the past, and it came into this timeline, I'm taking a break right now." Ash replied, "Hey, wait a minute. Didn't Doctor Whooves say you were a hero?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Darn right I am, I was known as the Hero from the Sky seven hundred years ago." Ash replied, shocking the six, "You? A hero?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Got a problem?" Ash asked, "Yes, you don't act like a hero." Fluttershy replied, "Not all heroes are goody two shoes." Ash said, "Well, you have a lot to learn, you could learn a thing or two about friendship." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Save your friendship crap for later, I've got a home to fortify." Ash said, and he walked away while the Mane Six watch him, "Ugh, I cannot believe him, how unbelievably rude!" Rarity said, "No kiddin', he called me a redneck, Ah ain't no redneck, Ah'm a true southerner." Applejack replied, "Uh, now's not the time to enter my country, ladies, we're busy dealing with a threat." Volvox said from the top of his fortress, "Can we help?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Well... I'll see how my people do first, I might if things go bad, but you six should leave, it's for your own safeties." Volvox replied, the Mane Six smiled, "We appreciate your concern, we'll be in Ponyville if you need us." Twilight Sparkle said, and Twilight Sparkle teleports herself and her friends back home. Princess Celestia looked on and smiled, she was sensing that the people in the new area were friendly. Tom, Tiān lù, and the twelve Zodiac animals walk together, "The Four Horseman are going to appear soon, they are in the east." Tom said, "Of course, it's still strange, none of the seven seals has been broken." Tiān lù replied, "The first four have been broken, but it was not done by the lamb, it was not done by Cyborea, either." Tom said, "Then who could have done it?" Tiger asked, "I cannot make out the being in my predictions, yet, but it is huge." Tom replied, "Could it be Apep?" Dragon asked, "The being in my visions has multiple heads." Tom replied, shocking the other thirteen. The fourteen arrive at the east and float up, onto the land. The fourteen look around and see the citizens have hid, they hear thunder in the sky, the world's natives look on, "Come." a deep male voice said, they were able to tell it was not the lamb, they hear horses neighing and they see the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, they were all skeletal and wore black cloaks, one had a gold crown on his head and held a brown bow in his left hand, he rode a white horse, one had a broadsword with a silver blade and a black guard and handle, he rode a red horse, one had black balancing scales in his right hand, he rode a black horse, and one carried a scythe with a light brown wooden handle and silver blade, he rode a pale horse. The world's natives see the Four Horsemen in the sky and the ponies were very shocked by what they saw, "Who are those guys?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "I don't know, I don't have any books on who they are." Twilight Sparkle replied, the Four Horsemen go down with their horses and were riding on the air, "Rabbit, Rooster, Sheep, Snake, go!" Tiān lù said, and they go forward. Rabbit jumps around while the White Horseman shoots arrows at him, he dodges each one and sees the White Horseman was trying to use his magic to make Volvox's kingdom and the four countries bend down to his rule, Rabbit gets shot by an arrow; the ponies gasp while Fluttershy watched with horror; Rabbit uses his magic to make himself change into a ball of fur, he fell down, the White Horseman became confused, he was kicked in the back of the head by Rabbit and fell down, he disappeared, Fluttershy was relieved to see he was alright. Rooster runs on the air and the Red Horseman's horse was running to him, he was using his mind to start civil wars in the five countries, he dodged every attack from the Red Horseman, he opens his mouth and screams out purple sonic waves, the Red Horseman cut them apart. Rooster absorbs sunlight and transforms into a basilisk, the Red Horseman looks around while he swings his sword around, so did his horse, Rooster touched him and he fell over and disappeared. The Black Horseman moves his scales up and down to control the economy, Volvox's land used assarius as currency, the Black Horseman made a quart of wheat cost a denarius, and three quarts of barley cost a denarius, his powers mainly affected the south. Sheep used his powers to make food grow and keep the south from going hungry, the Black Horseman used his scales to make the shift around as tectonic plates, Volvox used his telekinesis to fix them. Sheep rams his horns into the black horse, it did nothing, so he turns into water and disappears, water comes out of the west and the Black Horseman was shocked, he is washed away by the tsunami, it comes together and forms back into Sheep. Snake slithers on the air and goes to the Pale Horseman, he wraps around the Pale Horseman, he cuts him apart with his scythe, Fluttershy was too scared to watch. Snake severed body parts regenerate and he has created doppelgangers of himself from his severed body parts, much to the Pale Horseman's shock. Snake looks and sees the Pale Horseman killed whatever he rode over, he decided he had to stop him quickly, so he puts his body back together into one, extended his own size with magic, and wrapped around the Pale Horseman and broke his bones, he fell down while the pale horse disappeared. The four Zodiac animals go back and they were ready to leave, "Wait, not yet, there's still one more." Tom said, and they see the sun get blocked out, they all saw a giant griffon-like bird, they realized it was Ziz. The world's natives look at the sky and were shocked to see Ziz, he was huge, his wingspan blocked out the entire sun. Ziz flies to the fourteen watching him, "You are supposed to protect this land, Ziz." Tom said, "I have no interest in protecting humans." Ziz replied, "It has cost you your soul." Tom said, "Remember, Horse, you're up." Tiān lù said, "Oh, right." Horse replied, and he ran on the air. Ziz was ready to catch him with his talons, but Horse turned into black gusts and disappeared, Ziz looks for the brown horse, he does not find him. Horse reappears and had a greenish-white tornado around him, it destroyed whatever was nearby, he goes to Ziz and tries to use it on him, it had no effect, Ziz laughed as Horse tried his best. Screeching was heard and they look, they saw Phoenix flying to Horse, Princess Celestia's attention was caught, she has never seen a phoenix literally made out of fire before. Phoenix shoots fire out of his mouth and into Horse's tornado, the fire and wind mix together, Ziz got burned, he screamed and disappeared, Phoenix flew back to Volvox's fortress, "Wow, five down already." Tiger said, "No kidding, this might not take long after all." Dragon replied, "Let's go, the next creatures are appearing in the west." Tom said, and they go to the water area. Volvox stood at the top of his fortress and looked at his main kingdom, there was mostly grassland everywhere, even though they were developed in magic, they still had automobiles, aircraft, watercraft, power lines, phones, computers, TVs, and so on. Volvox watched Orchid closely since her culture and beliefs were completely different from the cultures of his land, he did not think she was the best mother, though. Volvox sees Orchid go to her home and saw she lived far away from the others, Nick and Lance were running around while Harvey chased them, Orchid sighed and she sat on the grass and began reading a book. Harvey, Nick, and Lance play for several more minutes and Harvey got tired, "Hold on, you two, I have to rest." Harvey said, "Please, Harvey?" Lance asked, "Sorry, but I'm out of energy." Harvey replied, "Okay." Lance said, and he went into the house. Nick walked over to Orchid, "Mom?" Nick asked, "What?" Orchid asked as she looked at him, "Are you a hybrid in your world?" Nick asked, "No." Orchid replied, "Then why do you control the five elements of your world?" Nick asked, "What do you know about my home world?" Orchid asked, "Plenty." Nick replied, "Like what?" Orchid asked, "It had five kingdoms, the north was fire, the west was water, the south was earth, the east was wind, and the center was lightning, each kingdom had humans, but they evolved differently because of the elements they used, humans who used fire changed into these big and muscular guys called dwarfs, humans who used water changed into merfolk, humans who used earth changed into elves, and humans who used wind changed into fairies, while the humans who used lightning didn't change." Nick replied, "There's more than just humans living in my world, Nick." Orchid said, "I know, there's four other species', I'm friends with one from each one." Nick replied, "Who and what are they, then?" Orchid asked, "I met all five of them together, one was Mercer, he's a magperson, a humanoid person made out of magma, his body was black, hard as rock, and had red lines it, he was the most aggressive member. My next friend was Silver, she was a ningen, she was bipedal, her body's mostly white, she has fins on her wrists and ankles, gills on her neck, she has fingers and toes like a human, and her face was a bit like a bird's, she even had a beak, she was the only member who could breathe underwater. My third friend was Rock, he was a golem, he was made purely out of dark yellowish-brown rock, his eyes were just spaces in the rock, he had a mouth to speak with, though, he was our strongest fighter. My fourth friend was Aero, she was an aviator, she was a humanoid eagle, her body was covered in brown feathers, but her head was covered in white feathers, she even had long white hair, she was our fastest fighter, and the only one who could fly. My last friend was Alice, she was a regular human girl, but had control over lightning magic, she was the one who kept us together, she was also the most compassionate and empathetic of us." Nick explained, "Oh, so you did meet the other species'." Orchid said, "I met all five of them at the same time." Nick replied, "Sounds like you had an adventure without me." Lance said, "I'm sorry, Lance, but before I was able to save you from dying the first time, I went to mom's world unknowingly, Alice was actually the same age as you." Nick replied, "Was her world like mine?" Harvey asked, "No, they have kingdoms instead of countries, and they're not side-to-side like the countries in your world, dad, the kingdoms were all either in the north, south, east, west, and center, there's five areas to live instead of four. There's no industrialization there, it's all nature, and they have very little technology, nowhere near as advanced as your world, and not as advanced as this world. The people were not mean like dad's world, they were friendly, and they had a lot of houses and several temples." Nick replied, "You said they had hybrids too, Nick?" Lance asked, "Yeah, they're admired in mom's world instead of being shunned like in dad's world." Nick replied, "How many hybrids did you meet?" Orchid asked, "A lot, but I only got the names of the royal family." Nick replied, "So you met Emperor Khan and Empress Noelle, they're the only two to be hybrids of all of the other countries, Khan is a hybrid of a human, a magperson, a ningen, a golem, and an aviator, while Noelle is a hybrid of a human, a dwarf, a mermaid, an elf, and a fairy." Orchid said, "How do merfolk walk on land?" Lance asked, "They can change their fins to legs and feet." Nick replied, "Oh." Lance said, "I'm surprised you're not a hybrid, mom." Nick said, Orchid glared at him, "Do I look like a hybrid to you?" Orchid asked, "No, but in dad's world, they have this technological device called skin paint, it allows the hybrid to paint fake skin onto themselves to cover their hybrid features." Nick replied, "We don't have anything like that in my world." Orchid said, "Not even a spell to hide your hybrid features?" Nick asked, "No." Orchid replied, "I still want to learn about you before you had me, mom." Nick said, "Nick, we've been through this, my life before I had you is none of your business." Orchid replied, "Can I at least get to know my ancestors?" Nick asked, "No." Orchid replied, "Why not?" Nick asked, "I told you before, Nick, you are an individual person, who your ancestors were, and what they did doesn't matter." Orchid replied, "They're still his family, Orchid." Harvey said, "Did you share your family with him, Harvey?" Orchid asked, "I tried to, but the government of my world destroyed all of the documents, and you know Nick wouldn't listen to me back then." Harvey replied, "No wonder why I never learned about my ancestors from my dad's side." Nick said, "Well, I have nothing to say about my family tree, Nick, you won't learn much anyway." Orchid replied, "Can I at least know their names?" Nick asked, "No." Orchid replied, "It's no use, Nick, your mom's not going to tell you anything." Harvey said, "You act just like my parents, Orchid." Lance said, "Not my problem." Orchid replied, "Let your mom read, guys, it's her break time." Harvey said, "I still bummed out mom didn't teach me magic." Nick replied, "That's because I wasn't in the mood to deal with a trouble making child with magic." Orchid said, "Can you teach me now?" Nick asked, "You're too old to learn now, you have to start when you're four." Orchid replied, Nick was disappointed, "I've got my energy back, guys, come on, let's play somewhere else." Harvey said, and he and the two boys leave while Orchid continues reading a book. Volvox was listening and writing what Orchid said about her world, he took notes about it with a paper and pencil while using telekinesis on them, he kept them in his throne room and used the new information in hopes of finding Orchid's world. Princess Celestia continued looking at Volvox's land, it has intrigued her, she saw the magic they used, she was wondering about it. Twilight Sparkle trotted to her and stood on the balcony with her, "Oh, Twilight, I didn't hear you coming." Princess Celestia said, "You look interested in that land, Princess Celestia." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Of course, Twilight, look, we can see they have magic, but their magic controls fire, water, earth, and wind, in other words, their magic is different from ours." Princess Celestia said, "I want to learn their magic, then." Twilight Sparkle replied, Princess Celestia laughed, "Patience, Twilight, they're busy right now, I'm sure you'll have the time soon." Princess Celestia said, "That reminds me, when me and the others went there, Doctor Whooves actually recognized one of them, he said something about that man being called the Hero from the Sky, but he was very rude and dismissive." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Yes, Twilight, I heard him as well, that man is clearly not hero material, he would not bear an Element of Harmony in this world, I hope other heroes over there aren't like that." Princess Celestia said, "I'm also wondering about those four skeletons on the horses." Twilight Sparkle replied, "As am I, I've been wondering who they were." Princess Celestia said, "If it's possible, I also want to spread friendship to their land." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I think they already have it, Twilight, but making their friendship stronger with us wouldn't hurt, either." Princess Celestia said, "I think that's a good idea, the ruler seemed friendly, too, he told us to leave his country because he didn't want us to get hurt." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, that's very kind of him, I think we're going to get along just fine." Princess Celestia said, the two smiled as they looked at Volvox's land, seeing the potential to make new friends. Tom, Tiān lù, and the twelve Zodiac animals go to the west and see Canterlot, they saw Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia watching them, "Uh, Tom." Rat said, "Ignore them, the four beasts are appearing." Tom replied, the water moves up and four monsters came out, the world's natives looked on with horror at what they saw, the first beast was a lion with the wings of an eagle, the second beast was a bear with three ribs between its teeth, the third beast was a leopard with four heads and four wings, and the fourth beast was a tyrannosaurus with large iron teeth and ten horns on its head. The four beasts begin heading to land, "Okay, Rat, Ox, Tiger, Dragon, go!" Tom said, and they do. Rat runs towards the first beast and it immediately bites him, but Rat turns into a shadow and disappears, Rat reappears from a shadow on the ground, he comes out of it and creates duplicates of himself, he had a kunai between each toe of his front right foot in each of his duplicates. The first beast was about to attack, but he felt ill, he exclaims with shock, "That's right, my body is filled with diseases, you sickened yourself when you bit me." Rat said, the first beast wheezes as he gets sick, Fluttershy was watching with horror, Rat throws the kunais into him and destroys the first beast, his duplicates go back into him and he jumps back while the first beast disappeared. The second beast goes forward and Ox ran to fight it, the second beast tries to slash Ox, but Ox makes his own skin harden, he endured the attacks with no pain, he grows bigger and wrestles the second beast, he grows bigger and picks the second beast off of the ground, he smashes him into an ice cap and he disappeared, Ox changed back to normal and ran back. The third beast flew forward and Tiger went to fight him, the beast flew to him and Tiger roared with fire coming out of his mouth, he lunged forward. The third beast tried biting Tiger, but it could not pierce his hide, he looks and sees Tiger has changed his body into metal, he begins to slash the third beast, it was overwhelmed by Tiger, he also uses his power to manipulate metal from the south and fire from the north, he melts the metal with the fire and the liquid metal falls onto the third beast and encases it, it disappeared, Tiger changes back and runs back. The fourth beast walks forward slowly while Dragon floated to it with his long body, he stood up and watched the fourth beast carefully before deciding on what he should do. The fourth beast runs to Dragon and tries to impale him with his ten horns, but Dragon makes an ice cap come out of the water with his magic, which traps the fourth beast's horns in it, Dragon then breathed fire out of his mouth and burned the fourth beast. Dragon makes boulders appear in the sky and uses wind magic to force them down onto the fourth beast, but they broke when they hit him, so he holds his front legs out and makes wood appear around him, he sets them on fire with his fire breath and shoots them at the fourth beast. The fourth beast gets its horns out and jumps up, it bites Dragon, but hurts its own teeth, it sees Dragon has changed his body into rock, Dragon shoots ice out of his mouth and freezes the fourth beast, it sinks to the bottom of the water, he goes underwater and sees the fourth beast frozen, he makes a boulder appear above it and the fourth beast gets smashed and it disappears, Dragon swims out and goes back to the others. The fourteen watch and they hear rumbling in the water, "Get ready, Dog, Leviathan is appearing." Tom said, and Leviathan came out of the water, he was a serpent, "I am Leviathan, Prince of Envy." Leviathan said, "I thought you were a female." Dog replied, "That's my sister, the Maker killed her." Leviathan said, and his eyes glow green, he makes the people become filled with jealousy and they start attacking one another. Dog makes two heads appear, they were to the sides of his main head, he grows in size and was about the same size of Leviathan. Dog runs to him and begins trying to slash him, but Leviathan makes green snakes appear and they tangle Dog, but he grows in size again and destroys the snakes. Dog grows wings out of his back and flies to Leviathan, he makes fire appear all around him and changes his three heads to the shape of an axe. Dog begins cutting Leviathan into pieces, but Leviathan uses his powers to activate a device in Volvox's fortress. The device floats up and everybody sees the Lament Configuration float up, it activates and Pinhead, Butterball, Female, and Chatterer, the world's natives scream in horror at the appearances of the cenobites, "Now, serve me and destroy this being." Leviathan said, "No." Pinhead replied, "What?" Leviathan asked, "We have been shown we were all once humans, and you have changed us, we do not serve you any longer." Pinhead said, Leviathan was shocked, Dog used the opportunity to use his heads to cut Leviathan apart with his heads as axes, Leviathan was destroyed, but his green snakes were not, Thunderbird shoots blue electricity at them and destroys them, it flew back to Volvox's kingdom, the world's natives were curious about that bird. Dog changes back to his regular form and goes back while Charybdis sucked the snakes into herself, "I never did get your powers." Ox said, "It's complicated, I have many powers." Dog replied, "It is time to head south, Behemoth and Popobawa await." Tom said, and they all go to the south. Volvox sends the cenobites back into the box and looks around his kingdom again, he was careful with modern technology, a lot of things have happened already in his native world, Tartarus was under a high school, a foggy world in a TV, and a world of a person's twisted desires that can be entered through an app on a phone. The Count of Saint Germain comes back from the future, "I was not able to discover who broke the first four seals, Volvox." the Count of Saint Germain said, "I see, I may have an idea on who it was." Volvox replied, "I have to admit, we have had many threats in our land, I lost track of them." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Uh... um... I don't remember any of them." Volvox replied, "I mean, it's not just people who were threats, don't forget those cursed objects in your quarters." Dommiel said, "I haven't, I'm keeping them heavily guarded." Volvox replied, "That reminds me, we should see how our citizens are doing." the Count of Saint Germain said, Volvox nodded and he stands on top of his fortress. Volvox looks around and sees his citizens were all inside, but Ash was busy partying and getting drunk, while Orchid was still sitting on the grass and reading. Harvey, Nick, and Lance go back home and saw Orchid was still there, "Uh, mom?" Nick asked, "What?" Orchid asked, "I forgot to bring this up, but while I was in your world, I also met Egliatos." Nick replied, Orchid glared at him, Volvox thought Egliatos was a weird name, it was pronounced "Ay-glee-ah-toes", "When did you meet him?" Orchid asked, "When I saw him on a balcony." Nick replied, "Did he say anything about me?" Orchid asked, "Quite a bit, in fact." Nick replied, "What did he tell you?" Orchid asked, "That you were one of the six court wizards of the world, you were known as the Wizard of Elements, the other five were Ulysses, Pericles, Socrates, Rose, and Violet, he said Ulysses was the strongest member, and he was the Wizard of Light, he then talked about Pericles, and said he's the Wizard of Time, then he talked about Socrates, he was called the Wizard of Fauna, he then talked about Rose, and said she's the Wizard of Flora, Violet was the next one, he said she's the Wizard of Love, and then he talked about you, he said you were the second-in-command." Nick replied, "I wasn't." Orchid said, "What?" Nick asked, "We were all equal in rank, there was no leader, we all led one another." Orchid replied, "He also talked about your origins." Nick said, "What?" Orchid asked, "I'm serious, mom, he did." Nick replied, "What did he say?" Orchid asked in a subdued voice, but they can tell from her tone that she was angry, "He said you lived in a small town in the wind kingdom, he attacked it and destroyed it, you escaped, but your parents died, you went on to live in the earth kingdom, you studied magic with a book your parents left, you mastered them all when you were eight, it caught the attention of Khan and Noelle, they took you in and you trained alongside the other five wizards in the magic you six excelled in, and became court wizards to help them fight Egliatos, but he was too powerful and you eight lost. After that, you were unhappy with living in the world, so you learned a spell to go to another world and came to this one." Nick replied, "What else did he tell you?" Orchid asked, "That's it." Nick replied, Orchid continued to glare at him, "Are you mad at me, mom?" Nick asked, "Does it look like it?" Orchid asked, Nick was worried, "Why did he tell you that?" Orchid asked, "He said it was because he thought I was curious of your origins." Nick replied, Orchid was still angry, "You're still mad at me for the pain I caused when you gave birth to me, right?" Nick asked, "Nick, trust me, I have endured pain worse than childbirth." Orchid replied, "I was also taught by your world's people that the five elements each represent something." Nick said, "Yes, fire represents strength, water represents focus, earth represents endurance, wind represents speed, and lightning represents knowledge." Orchid replied, "I am curious, what was it like giving birth to me?" Nick asked, Orchid glared at him, "I got a scar on my crotch from giving birth to you." Orchid replied, "Oh." Nick said, "I was surprised, your mom actually didn't show much pain when giving birth, I now know why." Harvey said, "Did you wear a white wedding dress on your wedding day, Orchid?" Lance asked, "No, I hate dresses." Orchid replied sternly, "How about a skirt?" Nick asked, "I hate those, too." Orchid replied, "Leave her be for now, boys, Orchid would like her time alone." Harvey said, "Go play with your father." Orchid said, "Yes, mom." Nick and Lance replied, "One more thing, you two don't need to call me mom, you can just call me Orchid." Orchid said, "Yes, Orchid." Nick and Lance replied, and they go back to Harvey. Volvox continues looking around and finds nothing, so he decides to watch the fourteen who were out fighting the monsters. The unicorns, Pegasi, alicorns, griffins, changelings, dragons, and hippogriffs were in the sky trying to see what was in Volvox's kingdom, some of them were holding up the earth ponies and yaks so they could see as well, "Ah don't see anythin'." Applejack said, "Me neither, the north is covered with volcanoes, the south has all of that forest, the east is too far from here, the west looks to be underwater, and the center is too far to see anything from here." Rainbow Dash replied, "I can't wait anymore! I wanna enter!" Silverstream said, "Be patient, Silverstream, we're all curious, but they're busy fighting now, and that three headed guy said he'll let us know when it's safe." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I hope it's soon, Flurry Heart's getting excited about it, too." Princess Cadence said, Flurry Heart held her front legs up and cooed excitedly, "I sure hope it's soon, as well, that place looks interesting to explore." Princess Luna said, "Ooh, I can't wait." Pinkie Pie said, "I don't think any of us can." Sandbar replied, "Yona wanna see forest." Yona said, "Really? I wanna see the volcanoes." Princess Ember replied, "I'll stick with the forest area, too." King Thorax said, "Stop deciding, guys, we'll explore them all together when they let us." Twilight Sparkle replied, "How? Some of us can't enter that underwater area." Gallus replied, "Some of us can't enter that area in the sky, either." Scootaloo said, "Don't worry, everycreature, we'll find a way." Princess Celestia said, "Hey, look, I can see those fourteen guys right there." Princess Skystar said, they see them and watch them through the trees. Tom, Tiān lù, and the twelve Zodiac animals go to the south and look for Behemoth, "Keep going, Behemoth is near, we'll worry about Popobawa after him." Tom said, "How about Judas and his mother, where are they?" Tiān lù asked, "Judas is in the north, Cyborea is in the center." Tom replied, and the ground soon erupts, it bursts open and they see Behemoth, he had the body of a rhinoceros, he stood on his hind legs, a long tail, and the head of a water buffalo, his entire body was somewhat light purple, "You no longer protect us." Tom said, "I stopped protecting the land when you Zodiac animals finished fighting the Horoscope." Behemoth replied in a deep voice, "It has cost you your soul. Take him out, Monkey." Tom said, and he jumps forward. Behemoth uses earth magic to make boulders appear in front of Monkey, he jumps onto them and gets past them with ease, he was in front of Behemoth and Monkey was about to fight. Behemoth gets ready to smash Monkey, but he stops when he sees there was three of him, the left one had hands over his eyes, the right one had hands covering his ears, and the center one had hands over his mouth, Behemoth was confused, he decides to smash them anyway, but sees they were stones. Behemoth looks around and hears Monkey calling him to his right, he looks and sees him, he punches him with his right fist, but sees it was another statue, Behemoth growled as he heard Monkey calling him from all directions. The ground erupts and small monkeys come out, each one was transparent, Behemoth was very shocked, "You don't remember? When the people's dead ancestors are revived, they come back as monkeys." Monkey said from the boulder, Behemoth looks and saw Monkey was back. Behemoth growls and turns around to smack Monkey with his tail, he hit another statue, he hears flying in the sky and sees Monkey riding on a nimbus cloud, Monkey laughs while Behemoth tries to hit him, he was too fast, Monkey jumps up and holds his right arm up and brings it down, he had a red staff with him, he hit Behemoth in the head with it, the monkeys at his feet climb him and begin attacking him, Behemoth fell over and disappeared while the monkeys went back into the ground. Tom leads the others to where the Popobawa was at, they smell a foul odor and follow it to where it was coming from, hear heavy breathing in a hut and see a human on the chest of a dwarf female, he was suffocating her, "Tell the others of this event, spread it to everyone in the town, if you don't, then I will come back and do this again until you do." the human said, Tom shoots a yellow beam out of his right hand at the human, he flew out of the hut, the beam changes the human to a small humanoid bat form with just one eye, "We meet again, Popobawa." Dragon said, "I grow tired of you guys interfering with my fun." Popobawa replied, "Why did you join Cyborea?" Rooster asked, "It seemed fun, spreading chaos and panic around the countries sounded like joy." Popobawa replied, "You shall find oblivion, get rid of him, Pig." Tom said, and Pig ran to him, Popobawa ran away in hopes of finding another sleeping person, Pig floats up and makes his fur turn gold, causing all of the countries to have light shine, it was bright, and Popobawa was blinded but he continued running, he sees a village when the light disappeared, he flies to it and saw it was empty, he was shocked, he remember the village being filled with people this morning, he flies around and looks for another village, he sees one and sees everybody was awake, he turns around and saw Pig, which startled him, "Having trouble, Popobawa?" Pig asked, "What's going on?" Popobawa asked, "One of my powers, grant good luck to my friends and allies, and bad luck to my enemies." Pig said, Popobawa was scared, he tried to fly away, but could not due to Pig using his powers to give him bad luck, "There's no escape this time." Pig said as tusks grew out of the sides of his mouth, he rams into Popobawa and impales him, Popobawa screeches and disappears, Pig retracted the tusks and ran back to the others. Pig went back to the others and saw Tom and Tiān lù were gone, "Where's Tom and Tiān lù?" Pig asked, "Went to the north to fight Judas and Cyborea Iscariot." Dog replied, "Well, our jobs are done, what now?" Rat asked, "We wait." Tiger replied, "What? But you're not the leader." Monkey said, "When Tiān lù is away, Tiger and I are in charge." Dragon replied, "Oh, fine." Monkey said, "Let us watch, I'm sure Volvox would let us watch from his fortress." Ox replied, and the twelve Zodiac animals went back to Volvox's fortress, they stood on the roof and looked to the north. Fluttershy and Silverstream looked at the Zodiac animals excitably, but they were scared of Dragon, Rarity was a bit scared and disgusted to see Rat, Prince Rutherford and the yaks wanted to meet Tiger and Ox, while the dragons wanted to meet Dragon, the ponies and hippogriffs wanted to meet Horse, the griffons wanted to meet Rooster, the changelings wanted to meet Dog and Rooster, and Twilight Sparkle wanted to meet all of them, they watch to the north with the others. Tom and Tiān lù go to the north and volcanoes were everywhere, "Judas will be appearing here soon." Tom said, "Where's Cyborea?" Tiān lù asked, "To the north of here, she moved here from the center country." Tom replied, and Tiān lù flew to the north. Tom hears walking and saw Judas Iscariot coming, he uses telekinesis to try to destroy the ground and make Tom fall into the lava, but he just simply floated over it. Judas walks over to Tom to fight him, "You betrayed Jesus and helped Mabus." Tom said, "What of it?" Judas asked, "It has cost you your soul." Tom replied, Judas glares at him and shoots fire out of his hands, Tom made a yellow shield appear around him and it blocked the fire, Judas was already getting angry, he shoots fire out of his eyes, Tom blocked it as well, Judas growls and shoots fire out of his mouth, Tom blocked it, Judas was getting enraged, "Read my mind, Judas." Tom said, and Judas does, "It cannot be!" Judas said, "Yes, you are destined to fail." Tom replied, "How did you find out?" Judas asked, "It was foretold by gyromancy." Tom replied, Judas was shocked, but he refused to yield, so he uses telekinesis to make the ground shift around, Tom just flew around while Tom wasted his energy. A sphere of yellow energy appeared in his right hand, he fires it at Judas, he screams and was obliterated, Tom flew back to the Zodiac animals. Tiān lù flew forward and saw Cyborea, she had on a black cloak and was hooded, her skin was pale, "We meet at last." Tiān lù said, "Indeed, I've been waiting for you." Cyborea replied, "Let's see what we got." Tiān lù said, and Cyborea floats up and makes skeletons come out of the ground, they attack Tiān lù. Tiān lù holds his front legs up and gold floats around him, he shoots them forward and the coins cut the skeletons apart. Cyborea exhales and green mist comes out of her mouth, any part of nature that was consumed by her breath died, Tiān lù used his powers to revive them, Cyborea tries to think of something but could not, "Giving up already?" Tiān lù asked, "Yes, but I am fine with it, I am just the first threat you face, there are several more." Cyborea replied, Tiān lù shrugged and shot gold coins into her, she disappeared, Tiān lù flew back to Volvox's fortress. Volvox was with his entire court while the other countries watched, "The threat has been dealt with, but Cyborea said she's working for someone else." Tiān lù said, "Yes, I heard." Volvox replied, "I still cannot foresee who the leader is." Tom said, "Don't worry, Tom, I think I have an idea on who it is." Volvox replied, he then looked at the world's natives, "The threat's dealt with, you all can come over now." Volvox said, everybody became excited and went to his country. Twilight Sparkle and the others go to them, they decided to go see Volvox first, "So, what exactly is this place?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "This is my land, my job is to watch the humans evolve, I had to choose whether they should evolve in either magic or science, I chose magic, and this is where we're at now, my land is only an island back on my world." Volvox said, "Can you explain your magic?" Princess Celestia asked, "Our world has four elements, fire, water, earth, and wind, the humans also discovered light magic and dark magic, they make up the forbidden arts due to how powerful they are, we also have alchemy, some of the people here can teach you that, and we lastly, enchantment." Volvox replied, the world's natives were interested, "Who are these twelve animals here?" Fluttershy asked, "We are the Zodiac." Dragon replied, "The Zodiac? Are you guys special or something?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, we existed before the humans, we were at war with the Horoscope." Rat replied, "The Horoscope?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Twelve more powerful beings, Rat fought Sagittarius, Ox fought Capricorn, Tiger fought Aquarius, Rabbit fought Pisces, Dragon fought Aries, Snake fought Taurus, Horse fought Gemini, Sheep fought Cancer, Monkey fought Leo, Rooster fought Virgo, Dog fought Libra, and Pig fought Scorpio." Dommiel replied, "What were the Horoscope members?" Apple Bloom asked, "Sagittarius was a centaur, Capricorn was a goat with a fishtail, Aquarius was a man who held a small bucket filled with water, Pisces was two fishes put together, Aries was a ram, Taurus was a bull, Gemini was actually two people, Pollux and Castor, twin brothers, Cancer was a giant crab, Leo was a lion, Virgo was a maiden, Libra was actually a set of balancing scales, it moved and spoke on its own, and Scorpio was a scorpion." Volvox replied, "Where are they now?" Scootaloo asked, "Up in the sky as constellations." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Wait, you guys didn't take their lives, did you?" Sweetie Belle asked, "No, of course not, the war was a stalemate, so the gods decided to create humans to progress how the planet evolves, they're watching us from up there." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "How did the war start in the first place?" Princess Celestia asked, "Uh?" the twelve Zodiac animals replied, "It started because the Maker made it happen, I was created just to observe, the Maker wanted one of the two groups to act as rulers for human society, but since the war went nowhere, the Maker decided to take the Horoscope to the overworld and left the Zodiac on the earth, they've been under my command, but I have that guy over there keep an on them." Volvox said, "And you are...?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Tiān lù." Tiān lù replied, "What are you?" Spike asked, "I'm a Pixiu." Tiān lù replied, "What is it you do, exactly?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I bring wealth and good fortune to the unfortunate." Tiān lù replied, "Friends are more valuable than worth, Tiān lù." Princess Celestia said, Tiān lù was speechless, "Why did you all come here?" Princess Luna asked, "It was by mistake." Dommiel replied, "What were you guys doing?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "You all saw the woman with the five jewels on her outfit, right?" Volvox asked, "Yeah, what about her?" Spike asked, "We're looking for her world so she can return home." Volvox replied, surprising the natives, "Oh, so you're trying to get someone home." Princess Skystar said, "Yeah, we haven't had much luck so far." Dommiel replied, "What do you do?" Smolder asked, "I'm the emperor's right hand." Dommiel replied, "Right hand?" Pinkie Pie asked, "It means he's the second-in-command, Pinkie." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I really can't say I like how your outfit looks." Rarity said, "My outfit was not designed to look good, it was designed for combat and protection." Dommiel replied, "What's yer name?" Applejack asked, "Dommiel." Dommiel replied, "How bout you, what do you do?" Granny Smith asked, "I'm the Count of Saint Germain, I'm a time traveler, I go to the future every once in a while, but it's tiring for me, I usually give Volvox info on events to come." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "What about you?" Sugar Belle asked, "My name is Tom, I was an apprentice to Nostradamus and Rasputin, I am a prophet, people come to me to have their futures told." Tom replied, "Nostradamus and Rasputin?" Shining Armor asked, "Nostradamus was a prophet, this helmet is a keepsake that has been enchanted with his future seeing powers, Rasputin was a monk with mystical powers, he taught me how to see into the future without the helmet." Tom replied, "You guys have people who can see into the future?!" Silverstream asked excitedly, "Yes, but only a few." Volvox replied, "Who else can see into the future?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "There's a man back in our world named Lucas Kane, he can see into the future from time to time as well." Volvox replied, "Yes, but his powers pale in comparison to mine." Tom said, "Who is that guy to your left?" Scootaloo asked, "Giovi, he's a ghoul, he doesn't talk." Volvox said, "So, is he mute or something?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No, he can talk, he just chooses not to." Dommiel replied, "Who are those two behind you?" Princess Celestia asked, "Oh, those are my two pets, Phoenix and Thunderbird." Volvox replied, they screech and fly to Volvox, Phoenix was to his right, and Thunderbird was to his left, "Wow!" Silverstream said, "Are these new to you guys?" Volvox asked, "We've seen a phoenix before, but never a thunderbird." Smolder replied, "Say? Where did you get those two?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "I took them in after their parents were killed in battle, I took care of them since birth." Volvox replied, "Is one male, and the other female?" Fluttershy asked, "No, they're both male." Volvox replied, "Is this everybody?" Princess Celestia asked, "Oh no, there's more people to my court, today's an off day for them." Volvox replied, "Well, call them over, we'd like to meet them." Princess Cadence said, Flurry Heart cooed excitedly, Volvox used his telepathy to call the remaining members of his court to come. Everybody hears walking and teleporting, they see the four cenobites return, much to everybody's horror, Ash was back as well, along with several other humans, "What are you guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked the cenobites, "Demons to some, angels to others." Pinhead replied, making the natives uncomfortable, "You desire books, there's a library of books in Hell." Pinhead said, "Oh my gosh, I need to see it." Twilight Sparkle replied, Princess Celestia touched Twilight Sparkle's left shoulder with her front left hoof, "Twilight, control yourself, I am sensing there is a very heavy price to pay if you give into your desires with him." Princess Celestia said, "As for you, you desire to be with your sister, I can let you two be together forever, and never be separated." Pinhead said, "I'm fine with how close I am to her now." Princess Celestia replied, "Uh, can we move on to someone else? Their appearances are scaring me." Ocellus said, the others agreed and they go to Ash, "You again?" Rarity asked, "I'm a part of the court, lady." Ash replied, "Ash, explain. How did you go to the past?" Princess Cadence asked, "The Book of the Dead." Ash replied, Twilight Sparkle's attention was caught, "Where is it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "In my quarters, sealed away." Volvox replied, "I wanna see it." Twilight Sparkle said, and Volvox uses his telekinesis to bring it out, he shows it to the world's natives, "Oh my, I've never seen a book like this." Twilight Velvet said, "That cover is scaring me." Ocellus said, "It's scaring me, too." Sandbar replied, "What the?" Twilight Sparkle asked as she felt the book's cover with her front left hoof, "It feels like the cover is made out of flesh." Twilight Sparkle said, making everyone uncomfortable, "That's just creepy." Rainbow Dash said, "I'm scared to see what's in it." Ocellus said, "Okay, we get it, you're scared, you don't have to always mention it." Gallus replied, "Well, let's open it." Twilight Sparkle said, and she uses her telekinesis to open the book. Everybody was uncomfortable when they saw the writing was in blood, the pictures of the monsters, and the spirits that are summoned by the book, "Oh my, it looks like this book is a summoning book, you have to chant what the writing says, but I am unfamiliar with this book's language." Princess Celestia said, "Where did you find this?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "In a cabin in the woods." Ash replied, "What about this 'Hero from the Sky' thing?" Princess Luna asked, "He was said to come from the sky and save the humans from the monsters, I went there by mistake due to an experiment-gone-wrong." Doctor Whooves replied, "So, what exactly is your role in the court?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "If the deadites start coming, I'm your go-to guy." Ash replied, "Deadites? What are deadites?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Basically, they're monsters from that book." Volvox replied, "Oh." the world's natives said, "Who is this guy?" Silverstream asked, the man did not answer, "That's Corvo, he's not one to talk." Volvox replied, "What does he do?" Rainbow Dash asked, "If either me or Giovi are too sick to defend Volvox, he's our substitute." Dommiel replied, "That mask of his is scaring me." Sweetie Belle said, the foals look and were scared of it, so was Flurry Heart, she hid when she looked at Corvo's mask, "Yak see something on left hand." Prince Rutherford said, "Yona wonder what mark is as well." Yona said, black mist appears behind Corvo and a man floated above him, the world's natives gasp, "That mark on his left hand is my mark." the man said, "Who are you?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I am the Outsider, I give people I am interested in my mark, and I watch them shape history." the Outsider replied, "You are destined to be opposed." Tom said, "I am aware of that, Tom, I am awaiting for that day to come with great anticipation." the Outsider replied, "It would be nice if you helped." Princess Celestia said, "I am more of an observer, I prefer to watch, I will be watching the events that happen with great interest." the Outsider said, and he disappeared, "Where did he go?" Sandbar asked, "To the Void, it's a realm he takes people to when they're asleep." Volvox replied, "Well, in that case, I'll be looking for him." Princess Luna said, and they look at the next human, "What's your name?" Pinkie Pie asked, "That's Lazlo En Kuldes, he doesn't talk much, either." Dommiel replied, "What's his role?" Diamond Tiara asked, "He's a bit of a soldier, he was washed away from his family when he was young." Tom replied, saddening the natives, "Oh no." Fluttershy said, "Do you have any memories of your family, Lazlo?" Princess Cadence replied, Lazlo shook his head, "So, why is he a member of the court for?" Rainbow Dash asked, "He's the one who evacuates the citizens in times of danger." Dommiel replied, "Oh." the world's natives said, and they go to the next seven humans, "Who are you guys?" Sunburst asked, "Harry. Harry Mason." Harry said, "Uh... James." James said, "I'm Harry's daughter, my name's Heather." Heather said, "Henry." Henry said, "Alex." Alex said, "Travis." Travis said, "Murphy Pendleton." Murphy said, "What do they do in yer court?" Apple Bloom asked, "They're not official members, I need their help for a case." Volvox replied, "What is it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "These seven know of a place called Silent Hill, they have reported it to be foggy and full of monsters, they also said the place is bloody and rusty at times, but Henry was trapped in a room called Room 302 of South Ashfield Heights, he said he went to the areas around Silent Hill with two holes in the wall, and Alex is from Shepherd's Glen, his family's ancestors are from Silent Hill, and he said the fog and monsters from Silent Hill were in Shepherd's Glen, and Henry's apartment was home to someone who was involved with the residents of Silent Hill, I've been looking for the place to investigate what's going on there." Volvox replied, shocking the world's natives, "Have you found it?" Princess Celestia asked, "Not yet." Volvox replied, "What kind of monsters did y'all encounter?" Applejack asked, "Children with knives attacked me." Harry replied, "A monster with a pyramid on his head and wielded a giant knife." James said, "A woman who tried to be the incarnation of God." Heather said, "Ghosts." Henry said, "A smog monster, a monster that was a man and a woman fused together, and a monster doll." Alex said, "A tall man wearing a heavy raincoat, a gas mask, and carrying a sledgehammer, I also had to deal with a man in a wheelchair." Murphy said, "My mom and dad got revived from the dead and tried to kill me, I also had to fight a humanoid monster who wielded a giant meat cleaver." Travis said, the world's natives were scared, "What about this bloody and rusty areas?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "A siren would go off, and the town would become all bloody and rusty, it'd rain, too." Harry said, Henry and Travis were confused, "Wait, did you say a siren?" Henry asked, "Yeah. Why?" Harry asked, "I came into these otherworldly areas by the holes in the walls of my apartment." Henry said, shocking the world's natives, "I know the bloody and rusty area, but I entered and exited them through mirrors, it was like another world, there was no siren." Travis said, the world's natives were horrified, "Twilight, I agree with the ruler on this, I believe this Silent Hill is worth investigating, this place sounds more dangerous than the Everfree Forest." Princess Celestia said, the others agreed and they see there were no more humans, "Do you have anymore objects besides that book?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yup, they're in my quarters, I have cursed objects with me, they're in my safe room." Volvox replied, "We'd like to see them." Princess Celestia said, the others agreed, "This way." Volvox replied, and he walks, the others follow him. Volvox takes them to his safe room and shows them the cursed objects, he had them sealed inside rectangular boxes that were transparent, each one was labelled and there was a plaque that said what the cursed object does, "Myrtles Plantation Mirror: Hand prints, strange marks, and ghosts appear inside this mirror." Twilight Sparkle said, making everyone uncomfortable, they go to the next one, "Annabelle the Doll: possessed by a demonic entity, it will change positions, attack others, and manipulate people to obtain their souls." Smolder said, shocking the world's natives, "Where did you find this one?" Princess Celestia asked, "It was given to me by paranormal investigators." Volvox replied, "You should destroy this." Princess Ember said, the dragons agreed, "About that, that could actually set the demonic spirit free, and it could possess another object." Volvox replied, everybody moved on to the next one, "Okiku: Hair never stops growing." Princess Cadence said, Rarity chuckles, "I sure would not mind having an ever growing mane." Rarity said, they go to the next one, "Robert the Doll: Causes car accidents, broken bones, job loss, divorce, etc., do not take picture of this doll." Gallus said, horrifying the natives, "How did you get these?" Applejack asked, "My land is only a small part of the world we're from, it's a small island, there are many more places in our world than my land, these objects are from those areas." Volvox replied, they go to the next object, "Wedding Dress of Anna Baker: Dress moves on its own." Sandbar said, "That's one of the harmless ones." Volvox said, "Still, it's a shame you have to put it in here, that's a lovely dress." Rarity replied, they look at the next one, "The Hands Resist Him: Anyone who comes into contact with this painting falls ill and dies, the boy and doll also argue, and the boy will sometimes comes out of the painting." Princess Luna said, "This sounds like something Discord would make." Rainbow Dash replied, the others agreed and went to the next one, "The Crying Boy Painting: Burns down any house this painting is in." Ocellus said, it really scared her and the changelings, but they go to the next one, Rarity was interested in it, "Hope Diamond: Whoever has this will have misfortune befall on them." Rarity said, "What is the misfortune?" Princess Celestia asked, "It's different every time." Volvox replied, they go to the next one, Rarity was interested in that one as well, "Koh-i-Noor Diamond: Any male who wears it will have misfortune fall upon them." Spike said, "Like the last one, it's different each time." Volvox said, "Why just males for?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "I'm not sure, but I believe it was cursed to be that way." Volvox replied, they go to the next one, "Basano Vase: Anyone in possession of this vase will die." Twilight Sparkle said, everyone was uncomfortable, "This is one of the most cursed objects." Volvox said, they go to the last item, "Camera Obscura, captures and exorcises ghosts." Silverstream said, everybody was uncomfortable when they heard about ghosts, "Ghosts?" Rarity asked, "Yes, this was found in a mansion and given to me, I've kept it here ever since." Volvox replied, "Is there anything else?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Nope, that's all." Volvox replied, "Well, let's go, everybody, let's see the countries, we'll start with this one since we're already in it." Princess Celestia said, the others agreed and they walked out of Volvox's fortress and into the country. Everybody walks around and saw it was like modern human society, "It's alright, guys, this place is just like my world, I'll know what to do." Sunset Shimmer said, everybody smiled and walked together, they see Nick was walking around, they decide to go see him, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, Nick looks at them, "Can you show us around?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Well, I am heading home, I guess I can explain while I walk home." Nick replied, "Thank you, that would be really nice." Princess Celestia said, and Nick heads home while the world's natives follow him, Nick showed them around and explained what the areas were, there were many houses and stores around, the store he was at was the grocery store. Nick arrives home and saw Orchid was reading a book while sitting on the grass, "Mom, I'm home." Nick said, Orchid moved her book down from her face and saw the world's natives, they recognized her, "Wait, you're that woman from earlier." Princess Skystar said, "What do you guys want?" Orchid asked, "The emperor is letting us explore his land, we'd thought we could have your son show us a bit." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, there's nothing here." Orchid said, "It looks like they have magic, mom, just like you." Nick said, "I doubt it's the same as mine." Orchid replied, the unicorns cast telekinesis and teleportation spells, some also cast other spells, the changelings change into other animals, the dragons breathe fire, and the hippogriffs change into seaponies, "As I said, it's different from my magic." Orchid said, "What can you do?" Maud Pie asked, Orchid holds her right arm out with her hand open, and her fingers and thumb bent and pointing at Maud Pie, she shot a yellow beam with gray rocks in it out of her thumb, a small green tornado out of her pinky finger, red and orange fire out of her ring finger, blue water out of her index finger, and purple lightning out of her middle finger, they go to Maud Pie and she was hit by rocks, cut by the wind, engulfed by water, burned by fire, and electrocuted by lightning all at once, "MAUD!!" Pinkie Pie said with horror, "It's alright, Pinkie, I got it." Maud Pie replied, and the five elements disappear, "Hmm. You're more resistant than most, most are knocked out cold in a few seconds." Orchid said, "What other spells do you have?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Do you wish for me to test them on you?" Orchid asked, "What? No." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Then don't ask me." Orchid said, "Can you teach me now, mom?" Nick asked, "No." Orchid replied, "Why not?" Nick asked, "Most start learning magic when they're four, Nick, you're eighteen, you're way too old." Orchid replied, "Why didn't you teach him back then?" Shining Armor asked, "Because I wasn't in the mood to deal with a mischievous child with magic." Orchid replied, "Where's dad, anyway?" Nick asked, "He's busy flying around with Lance on his back." Orchid replied, "Oh, I was wondering who your father was." Sandbar said, "Uh, about that, my dad's appearance might be a bit surprising." Nick replied, "Oh, come on now, how bad can it be?" Rainbow Dash asked, they see Harvey land in front of them with Lance on his back, the world's natives gasp when they see him, "I heard you guys from the sky." Harvey said, "This is my dad." Nick said, the world's natives look at Harvey's mutant, machine, and alien parts, "What happened to you?!" Twilight Sparkle asked with horror, "What do you know about genetic code and genetic engineering?" Harvey asked, "Only that I can find out who's related and unrelated." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Then you won't understand my condition if I do explain it." Harvey said, "Are you a native of the land?" Rarity asked, "No, I'm just like my wife, I'm from another world, a world of science." Harvey replied, surprising everyone, "Who is that on your back?" Silverstream asked, Lance flew down and everybody was shocked to see he had the same mutations as Harvey, "I'm Lance, Nick adopted me." Lance said, "You were experimented on, too?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Lance nodded, "Who else got mutated?" Applejack asked, Nick flexes his body and his mutations appear, with clothing except his pants ripping, shocking the world's natives, "The same people who mutated my dad and Lance mutated me as well." Nick replied, the world's natives were very shocked, "Come on, everycreature, let's go look around." Princess Celestia said, "Well, it was nice to see you guys, hope we meet again." Ocellus said, "Okay, enjoy the rest of the kingdom." Nick replied, and the world's natives walked away. Everycreature walks around while they look at the natives in the kingdom, they see a man walk by, he had silver hair, wore a red trench coat, brown pants, and black mid-calf length boots, he had a sword on his back, and a holster for a black pistol and a white pistol, he stood out more than the others, but they ignored him and walked by. The world's natives see a lot of houses and a few stores around, "Wow, this is just like where I live." Sunset Shimmer said, "Still kind of disappointing, though." Rarity replied, "Where should we go next?" Derpy asked, "Definitely east, I wanna see how the land floats in the sky like that." Rainbow Dash replied, "No way, let's go west, I wanna see the underwater civilization." Silverstream said, "Let's go north, to the volcanoes." Princess Ember said, "Yak want to go south, to land full of forest." Prince Rutherford replied, and everybody argued, "Everycreature." Princess Celestia said as she shot up a yellow signal from her horn, they look at her, "It doesn't matter where we go first, we're going to them all, anyway, we'll start north and go counterclockwise, we'll get a chance to see everything in this land." Princess Celestia said, the others agreed and everycreature headed out of the kingdom in the center, and went to the north, to the fire kingdom. Everycreature goes to the fire kingdom, but the volcanic environment was too hot for everycreature except the dragons, Twilight Sparkle casts a spell on them so they can resist the heat. They walk in and see the giants, centaurs, oreads, and Valkyries. Everycreature looks and sees the natives of the fire kingdom had a militaristic culture, the giants wore Spartan armor, the centaurs wore armor of the Roman Legion, the oreads wore Samurai armor, and the Valkyries wore Amazon armor, "Hi there, welcome to Vesuvius." a male giant said, he was about eight feet tall, "What's with all of the weapons and armor?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Oh, that's for protection, back then, when a threat to the land emerges, they usually appear in this country." the giant replied, surprising the world's natives, "Come on, I'll show you all around." the giant said, and he does, everybody walks around and the volcanoes erupted everywhere, everycreature except the dragons were uncomfortable, even with the heat resistant spell on them. Everycreature looks and sees the giants ate mostly meat, which made the ponies uncomfortable, the centaurs ate meat as well, the oreads were omnivores, and the Valkyries ate meat, they all drank wine. Everycreature then sees them holding tournaments, everyone was divided by race, everyone fought honorably and fairly, sick and injured combatants were not attacked, neither were downed or disarmed opponents, the dragons, griffons, and yaks enjoyed their culture, but the others did not. Everycreature continues traveling and see the natives of Vesuvius had homes made out of molten rocks, they believed it was so they could withstand the heat of the kingdom, they also see a lot of the children were working as blacksmiths, they were also being trained in combat, alchemy, and magic, everycreature sees the natives shooting fire out of their hands and mouths, they notice the natives were also adept in manipulating lava, "Guys? Where are the last people?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Oh, you mean the golems, they're further in the country." the giant replied, and he leads them, they see the golems lived like knights, they followed a code of chivalry, they see they had to fight fairly and honorably, they notice they were not allowed to hurt children either, "Can we go? This country is burning my wings." Grampa Gruff said, everycreature except the dragons agree, "Well, I hope you all enjoyed it here, you're welcome anytime." the giant said, "Wait, what's that temple back there?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the giant turned around and saw a black temple built out of onyx and was decorated with rubies, "Oh that, that's where we worship the fire and sun gods." the giant replied, Princess Celestia laughs, "Then maybe you guys will have to worship me, I am a sun goddess." Princess Celestia said, "We'll see about that, have a good tour, everyone." the giant replied, and everybody left Vesuvius and went to the water kingdom in the west. Everycreature walks to the west and the hippogriffs were excited, they all turn into seaponies and go into the water, but they exclaim with shock and change back and fly out, back to the others, "What's wrong?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's too cold." Silverstream replied, Applejack places her front right hoof into the water, she quickly took it out, "Whoo, it's cold, alright, it's colder than walkin' through snow bare hoofed." Applejack said, shocking the world's natives. Queen Novo looks and saw several merfolk casting magic with water, ice, and snow, she flies to them, "Excuse me." Queen Novo said, they look at her, "Can you heat up the water for us?" Queen Novo asked, "Oh, are you all the tourists?" a mermaid asked, Queen Novo nodded, "Hold on." the mermaid said, and she and other merfolk went into the water and swam around to heat it up, much to everycreature's awe. They finish and swans land in the water, Fluttershy became excited and flew to them, "Hello, my name is Fluttershy, I'd like one of you as a pet." Fluttershy said, "Uh, we're not pets." a swan replied in a female voice, shocking everycreature, "We're swan maidens, we change when our feathers are taken off." another swan maiden said, "Can we see?" Spike asked, the swan maidens remove their feathers and they transform into human women wearing white dresses, causing everycreature to gasp in awe, "Oh my, what beautiful dresses." Rarity said, "Thank you, but they come with us." a swan maiden replied, "So, uh, what exactly happens to you guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, "We bathe and play in the water, but if a man takes our dress, and we find it, he'll only give it back if we promise to marry him." another swan maiden replied, Rarity gasped, "No, no, no, a gentlecolt would never do such a thing." Rarity said, "Well, it's not our call, they do it." a swan maiden replied, and they put their feathers back on and change back to swans. The world's natives hear singing and see sirens, they looked like human females, they wore white dresses, they sat on the ice caps, "Oh, you all sound like sirens." Rarity said, "We are sirens." one replied, and they continued singing, Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer began to have flashbacks of Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk, they put it in the back of their minds and keep looking. Everycreature sees the hyades were making rain fall into the water, the Pegasi were reminded of their own rain clouds, Fluttershy also saw the selkies were seals in the water, they went onto land and changed to humans, much to her surprise. The nereids, naiads, and oceanids were all doing different things, they were the physical workers of the country, "Are you all ready to see Atlantis?" the mermaid from earlier asked, "Uh, Atlantis?" Applejack asked, "It's where we all live, it's under the water." the mermaid replied, "Hold on, everyone." Queen Novo said, and she flew to her kingdom and got her pearl, she uses it to change everycreature into sea creatures, much to the surprise of the natives of the water kingdom, "Okay, this way." the mermaid said, and they all swim underwater. Everybody swims to the bottom and sees Atlantis, everycreature saw shopping markets outside, all of the creatures lived together peacefully, "Welcome to Atlantis, everybody." the mermaid said, everycreature was in awe at what they saw, but they were still uncomfortable by how cold the water was, "This water's still freezing." Smolder said, "I know, even I'm having trouble enduring it." Silverstream replied, the changelings try to change into something more comfortable, but nothing can help them withstand the coldness of the water, a lot of them had chattering teeth, "Sorry about that, the cold mostly comes from the ice caps from above." the mermaid said, and she swims forward, they follow her and were in awe at Atlantis' architecture, they looked like traditional Chinese and Japanese shrines and temples, along with some Greek architecture, which reminded the ponies of Cloudsdale, "Wow, some of your buildings look just like what we have in Cloudsdale." Rainbow Dash said, "Really? What a coincidence." the mermaid replied, "Can we meet the rulers?" Princess Skystar asked, "Yes. Please?" Terramar asked, "About that, since some of those nymphs are new, we'll have to establish new rulers, so maybe another time." the mermaid replied, "How do you defend against threats above the water?" Terramar asked, "Oh, I'm glad you asked, this way." the mermaid replied, and she swam up, they followed her. Everycreature was above surface and they see a strait with a six headed monster and a giant whirlpool, "This is Scylla and Charybdis, they're our main defenders." the mermaid said, "Oh, you look like a friendly fellow." Fluttershy said as she flew up to Scylla, her six heads smiled, "Hey, don't forget Charybdis, she's alive, too." the mermaid replied, and Fluttershy flew to it, "Hi there, look at yourselves, defending the small from terrifying monsters." Fluttershy said, Charybdis span around happily, "Come on, I'll show you all around some more." the mermaid said, and they all go underwater. The mermaid takes them to Atlantis and they gasp with surprise when they see the water kingdom were artistic people, they had paintings, fashion, music, cuisine, and dance shows, the regular fish lived with them peacefully. Everycreature looks around and sees sculptures and statues made out of ice, "Whoa, that looks awesome." Sandbar said, "Thank you, it took a while to make." the mermaid replied, "What's through there?" Pinkie Pie asked as she pointed her front right hoof to a sealed off area, "Oh, don't go there, that area is called Styx, it is one of the five rivers to leads to the underworld." the mermaid replied, surprising everyone, "What are the other four rivers called?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Phlegethon, Acheron, Lethe, and Cocytus." the mermaid replied, "Are they all in this country?" Princess Luna asked, "No, Phlegethon is in the fire kingdom, Acheron is in the earth kingdom, Lethe is in the emperor's kingdom, and Cocytus is in the wind kingdom." the mermaid replied, the world's natives realize they already missed two of them, "Well, that's it for this kingdom, nice meeting you all." the mermaid said, and the world's natives said bye as they swam back up to the surface and Queen Novo uses her pearl to change them all back. Everycreature was cold, especially the ponies and dragons, they look and see the natives of the water kingdom were using ice and snow magic again, "Okay, everycreature, time to go south, to the earth kingdom." Princess Celestia said, and everyone headed south, the yaks and earth ponies were carried while the unicorns used telekinesis on themselves to fly, and the others just flew there normally. Everybody stands in front of the earth kingdom, with forests and trees in front of them, "Okay, everycreature, stay together, the last thing we want is someone getting lost." Princess Celestia said, the others agreed and they walk into the forest. Everycreature looks around with discomfort at the earth kingdom, "Honestly, y'all, this feels like the Everfree Forest." Applejack said, "Eeyup." Big Macintosh replied, "I see a village up ahead, this way." Dragon Lord Torch said, and he leads them. Everycreatures arrives at the village and the dwarfs aim bows and arrows at them, scaring the ponies, changelings, and hippogriffs while the dragons, griffons, and yaks got ready to fight, "Halt! Stand down!" a male dwarf in green viking armor said, and they all do, he had long hair and a long beard, they were both white, "Sorry, we can't be sure who's ally or foe." the dwarf said, "Why not?" Applejack asked, "Because if a threat doesn't appear in the fire kingdom, then it's most likely going to appear in this one." the dwarf replied, surprising the world's natives, "Can you show us around?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yup, we were expecting you all, the ruler of the dwarfs put me in charge to give you all a tour, welcome to Dorado." the dwarf replied, and he leads them. The dwarf shows them the village while everyone looks around, "As you all know, we control four elements, but earth was the first one discovered, water was next, wind was the third element discovered, and fire was last." the dwarf said, "Why was earth the first one discovered?" Sunburst asked, "Because we all live on land, and we discovered water magic by having people live at the sea, wind magic was discovered by mistake when we had tornadoes, and fire was discovered by taking the risk of going to a volcano, we control the elements with our minds." the dwarf replied, surprising everyone, "You guys only need to use your mind to control magic?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, we learn magic by meditating in the environment where the element is most abundant, earth is the easiest since land is everywhere." the dwarf replied, the natives of the world were interested, they look and see the dwarfs had the art, music, architecture, fashion, and cuisine of Scandinavians, they were a bit militaristic as well, "You guys are militaristic, too?" Shining Armor asked, "Have to be, but unlike the fire kingdom, they focus on attack, we focus on defense." the dwarf replied, "The Great and Powerful Trixie would like to know where the other creatures are at." Trixie said, "They're farther in the woods, this way, and be careful." the dwarf replied, and he led them to their lefts. Everycreature walks together and stop in surprise when they saw the trees were walking around, "You all have live trees?!" Silverstream asked excitedly, "Yes, but be careful, they can't see you, they'll step on you if you're in front of them." the dwarf replied, making everycreature uncomfortable, the dwarf leads them down a path that avoided the walking trees and they continue going to the east. The dwarf takes them to a tribe and nymphs, the alseides, auloniades, leimakides, napaeae, oreads, anthousai, dryads, hamadryade, and hyleoroi. The dryads, hamadryade, and some hyleoroi lived in the trees, other hyleoroi lived in the forest. The alseides lived in glens and groves, the auloniades lived in pastures and valleys with some of the napaeae, the leimakides lived in meadows, the remaining napaeae lived in glens and grottoes, the oreads lived in small mountains that were in the forest, and the anthousai lived in fields of flowers. The nymphs did not have a particular way of living, they were all doing different things, "Ooh, ooh, ooh, can I pick some of the flowers?" Sweetie Belle asked, "It depends if those nymphs let you." the dwarf replied, "Wait, so they're called nymphs?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Yeah, the ones in the water kingdom are also nymphs, sirens are just a variety." the dwarf replied, "What about the swan maidens?" Princess Cadence asked, "Those are not nymphs." the dwarf replied, "Are there anymore?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The tribes of the cyclopes are this way." the dwarf replied, and he takes them farther east. Everycreature arrives at the eastern most part of the earth kingdom and they saw the cyclopes, "Look, they have one eye." Gabby said, "Yeah, just like Arimaspi." Gilda replied, the cyclopes look at them, "Oh, they're smaller than I thought." a blue cyclops said, he then says "Follow me." and they do, they see the cyclopes lived as a tribe, "Oh, this like Yona's home." Yona said, the other yaks and see the cyclopes lived like Native Americans, the yaks agreed, the cyclopes also smashed things to test their strengths, which made the yaks happy, "Nice to see similar culture to ours, but we go now." Prince Rutherford said, "Okay, be careful out there." the blue cyclops replied, the world's natives smiled and the dwarf leads them back. Everybody arrived back at Dorado after a long walk, "Time to go the other way now, we have more tribes over there." the dwarf said, and he leads them, the natives were getting a bit tired. Everybody heads west and they see more walking trees, "You all have to come to this land at night as well, there are some creatures that only come out at night." the dwarf said, the world's natives groaned tiredly, "Don't worry, they're easy to see, you all will likely see them from your home countries." the world's natives sighed with relief and followed him. They all keep going and Fluttershy stops with awe, "Aw." Fluttershy said as she flew to it, they see her going to a rabbit, "You remind me of Angel..." Fluttershy said, she stopped abruptly, the others go to her and were shocked and surprised by what they saw, the rabbit had antlers, "Ah, this is a jackalope, they don't come out often, and are very rare to see, don't worry, they're passive creatures." the dwarf said, "How were they created?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Don't know, they already existed when we first found them." the dwarf replied, he then says "This way, the last two tribes are over here." and they follow him. They all arrive at a tribe that was filled with goblins, the yaks were interested again, the goblins lived in tribes as well, but their way of living was similar to the tribes in South America, "They're a quiet bunch, they speak their own language, we don't understand it, come on now, the last tribe's farther west." the dwarf said, and he leads them farther west, Pinkie Pie tried to greet them and befriend them, but the goblins did not react due to them not understanding her, they shook her hoof when she held it out, she smiled and went to the others. Everycreature arrives at the last tribe and they see it was the ghouls, "Yak like their way of life." Prince Rutherford said, the others look and agreed, the ghouls look and just continued with their days, "These are the ghouls, they're usually out at night, they're also a quiet bunch, speak their own language, too, and don't worry, they won't attack unless they feel threatened." the dwarf said, "They don't seem to have bladed claws like the one we saw with the emperor." Twilight Velvet said, "Oh, about that, Giovi lost his claws in a war, he replaced them with knife blades." the dwarf replied, everybody looks and sees the ghouls lived similarly to African tribes, "Well, that's everything, hope you enjoyed Dorado and the tribes." the dwarf said, "Wait, take us to Acheron." Twilight Sparkle replied, the others agreed, "Very well, this way." the dwarf said, and he led them back to Dorado and headed north, they arrive at a stream, "Here it is, Acheron, one of the five rivers to the underworld." the dwarf said, they hear faint crying in it, "Is that crying?" Windy Whistles asked, "It's called the River of Woe for a reason." the dwarf replied, "What are they sad about?" Scootaloo asked, "It's different for each person." the dwarf replied, everycreature felt bad, "Well, that is all, hope you enjoyed the kingdom." and they all walk out of the forest, "Alright, one more, let's go, everycreature." Princess Celestia said, and they went to the wind kingdom. The Pegasi, alicorns, griffons, dragons, changelings, and hippogriffs flew to the wind kingdom while the unicorns used telekinesis on themselves to fly up, and the earth ponies and yaks were carried by others. They see the wind kingdom was a bunch of land floating in the sky, and there was no room to land due to them all being covered with architecture. The elves and fairies come out and see the world's natives, the elves used wind magic to fly around, while the fairies had butterfly wings and flew with them, everycreature was in awe, a female fairy sees them and flies to them, "Are you all here to visit?" the fairy asked, they nodded, "Well, welcome to Everest, the wind kingdom." the fairy said, and she flies around, they follow her, "Sorry about having nowhere to land, we are kind of populous." the fairy said, "It's alright, so what do you guys do?" Princess Celestia asked, "We act as the main connection between this land and the land of the gods." the fairy replied, "Wait, there's more?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Yeah, the overworld and the underworld, we can't enter, the angels and demons don't like foreigners in their land." the fairy replied, much to their disappointments, "Wait, why are you guys living on land that is floating higher than the other creatures?" Princess Ember asked, they looked and noticed some pieces of land were floating higher than others, "Oh, about that, unlike other countries, where everyone is equal and lives together, we live in a caste system, us fairies are of higher status than the elves." the fairy replied, "What? But why?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Because the fairies existed before the elves, and our wind magic is stronger than theirs." the fairy replied, "That doesn't sound fair so far." Spike said, "Actually, we all have different roles, the elves provide us food and alchemy ingredients, and in turn, the fairies provide them protection from harm." the fairy replied, "Oh, so it's a cycle, you all provide one another." Princess Celestia said, "Yeah, pretty much." the fairy replied, "Where are the others?" Sandbar asked, "Oh, they're up there flying around." and they see Nephele was on a cloud, and to their surprises, a monkey, "Who is that monkey?" Princess Luna asked, "That's Sun Wukong, he was kicked out of the overworld for causing trouble." the fairy replied, they keep looking and see the sphinxes and harpies, "Are those sphinxes?" Daring Do asked, "Yeah, they're new." the fairy replied, "We have sphinxes, too." Somnambula said, "Oh, I didn't know." the fairy replied, "Who are those birdies?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Harpies, they're new, too." the fairy replied, "You all don't have any wildlife?" Fluttershy asked, the fairy turned around and whistled. The creatures see a griffon fly down, "Hey, it looks like us." Grampa Gruff said, "It is, it's a griffon." the fairy replied, the others smiled, "What is that over there?!" Silverstream asked excitedly, they look and see a hippogriff, it had the front half of an eagle, and the rear half of a horse, "That's a hippogriff." the fairy replied, "Hippogriff? It looks nothing like us." Princess Skystar said, "Wait? You all are hippogriffs?" the fairy asked, the hippogriffs nod, "I see, well, the ekeks and wakwaks come out at night, that is all." the fairy said, "Can you take us to Cocytus?" Applejack asked, the fairy was silent and then sighed, "This way." the fairy replied, and she leads them, it was to the very north of the kingdom, everybody sees the people of the wind kingdom had architecture similar to the Mayans and the Aztecs. They arrive at Cocytus, they see it was a waterfall that led to the underworld, "Here it is, the river of wailing." the fairy said, and everybody hears loud crying in it, which made them uncomfortable, "Let's leave, those cries are making me scared." Mr. Shy said, the others agreed, and they left. Everycreature sees the people of the wind kingdom lived in wooden houses with straw roofs, "Well, that is all, hope you all enjoyed." the fairy said, "Wait, what about the temples and places of worship?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Oh, the main ones are those temples over there, we worship the rest in our homes, the earth kingdom's people also worship their gods in their homes, the land and sky have many gods." the fairy replied, surprising everycreature, "Well, that is all, hope you all enjoyed it." the fairy said, and the world's natives head home and rest for the day. Night time comes and everybody hears thuds in Volvox's land, they look and were surprised by what they saw, there were orcs and Talos in the fire kingdom, trolls, ningen, and Laestrygonians in the water kingdom, the trolls were on the ice caps while the other two were in the water, the ghouls and goblins were wondering around in the earth kingdom, and the ekeks and wakwaks were flying around in the wind kingdom. Everybody was most interested in the other things they saw, they saw enenra in the north, ghost ships in the west, will-o'-the-wisps and fireflies in the south, floating white orbs in the east, and regular ghosts in Volvox's kingdom. Volvox stood on top of his fortress and looked, he saw a tribe of Sasquatches in the south as well, they lived underground caves, and Monkey was bringing back dead ancestors, they were monkeys as well. Twilight Sparkle looked on with Princess Celestia to her left, "What do you think, Princess Celestia?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I have sensed them with my magic, they're all ghosts, they are the people who have lost their lives." Princess Celestia replied, "What are they doing out here for?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I'll go ask the emperor." Princess Celestia replied, and she flew to him, "Excuse me." Princess Celestia said, Volvox saw her flying in front of him, she flapped her wings as she stayed in place, "What's going on?" Princess Celestia asked, "The spirits of the dead come out at night, each one does something different, the ones you see now are going to their homes to see their families." Volvox replied, Princess Celestia's attention was caught, she looks at them and saw the fireflies fly out of the country and go to Fluttershy, "Hello there, you all should head to your homes." Fluttershy said, she sensed something strange about them, "These fireflies, I sense poor and sad souls in them." Fluttershy said, Volvox uses his telekinesis on himself and flies to Fluttershy, he landed on the ground softly, in front of her, "That's because those fireflies are ghosts of soldiers who got killed in a war." Volvox replied, "Oh, you poor, poor things, losing your life and your family never being able to see your families ever again, you all should go see them now." Fluttershy said, and they fly to the earth kingdom. Everybody hears a crow calling and Volvox sees it, he realizes what it was, "Eric." Volvox whispered, they hear a guitar playing in Volvox's land and they look, they saw a man playing on a roof, he had on a black long-sleeve shirt, black pants, black boots, and a black trench coat, he had messy and wavy black shoulder-length hair, and white makeup all over his face, with a black vertical line on his eyes, black makeup on his lips, black horizontal lines on the sides of his lips. The world's natives look at him and watch him, "Who is that?" Silverstream asked, "Eric Draven, he's a special kind of ghost." Volvox replied, "What's special about him?" Applejack asked, "See the crow watching us?" Volvox asked, they do and nod, "That crow is his connection to this world, if it is harmed or killed, he will become vulnerable." Volvox said, "I thought I sensed something strange about that crow." Fluttershy said, "Well, I'll go back now, I think we can establish relationships tomorrow." Volvox replied, the world's natives agreed excitedly and Volvox went back to his fortress, they all slept while the creatures and ghosts roamed around. The next day comes and the nymphs were put into society, they were treated equally in the water and earth kingdoms, while the wind kingdom labeled them below the elves due to them being new, and having less wind magic than them, their jobs in the caste system was to babysit the young when the adults were away, which they did not mind, since their children were friendly and well behaved. Volvox forms relationships with the world, but it was a little hard for him to keep track. The fire kingdom had healthy relationships with the griffons and dragons, but were strained with the ponies, hippogriffs, and changelings, while they were mostly neutral with the yaks. The water kingdom got along greatly with the ponies and hippogriffs, but was a bit strained with the yaks, and neutral with the changelings, dragons, and griffons. The cyclopes, ghouls, and goblins of the earth kingdom had a great relationship with the yaks, while the dwarfs were neutral with them, the rest of the earth kingdom had a mixed relationship with the ponies, they were also neutral with the changelings and the hippogriffs, and had a strained relationship with the griffons and dragons due to them trying to steal gold from their country from time to time. The wind kingdom was mostly neutral, their closest allies were the griffons and hippogriffs, the yaks were neutral with them, their relationship with the dragons were strained due to the dragons trying to steal their valuables, and they were neutral with the ponies and changelings, Princess Celestia especially disliked the kingdom's caste system, she believed it spread inequality and unfairness around their kingdom. Volvox's kingdom had a healthy relationship with the six countries due to its freedom and openness of other heritages. Tom was sitting at a table just outside of Volvox's kingdom, he was in front of the earth kingdom, and people from the four kingdoms go to him, they were there to receive information on their futures, a male dwarf was seeing him, "I wish to know when I will be able to be looked upon by the gods." the dwarf said, "You will find oblivion." Tom replied, the dwarf became sad and left. A female elf goes to him, "How will I do on finding my family?" the elf asked, "You will fail." Tom replied, the elf was shocked, she ran away crying. A female cockatrice walked to him next, much to everyone's surprises, "I want to know when my species will be respected again." the cockatrice said, "That day will never come." Tom replied, the cockatrice became shocked, "My people don't give up hope and optimism." the cockatrice said, "That is why your kind is disposable." Tom replied, the cockatrice was too shocked to speak, "TOM!!" Twilight Sparkle yelled angrily as she and her five friends ran to him from his right, "It really pays a lot to be polite." Twilight Sparkle said, "I am only giving them their future, whether they can handle it or not is their problem." Tom replied, "How can you be sure it will happen?" Applejack asked, "My visions of the future have never been wrong." Tom replied, "Well, if that's true, can you tell us about Equestria's future?" Rarity asked, "The fate and future of the other countries does not concern me." Tom replied, shocking the Mane Six, "You clearly can use some lessons in friendship." Twilight Sparkle said, "Such lessons are not important when you know how it is going to end." Tom replied, the Mane Six glare at him, "Come with us, we can teach you how to act." Twilight Sparkle said, and he follows them. Tom arrives at the School of Friendship and he was sent to Applejack's and Fluttershy's classes to learn about kindness and honesty, he did not learn anything. Classes ended and Tom floated around and saw Cozy Glow, he watched her carefully, "Who enrolled her into this school?" Tom asked, "I did. Why?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "You have secured your school's doom." Tom replied, and he floated out of the school, to Volvox's land while Twilight Sparkle looked at him with a frown. Volvox was trying to contact some of the gods, he wished to have a word with them, he had Dragon, Horse, Sheep, Rooster, and Pig go to the overworld to contact the gods. The five return and God went to them, the world's natives see him and look on with surprise, "I would like to know if anything strange has been happening in the overworld." Volvox said, "Actually, yes, the lamb didn't break the first four seals, Volvox." God replied, "How are the other three?" Volvox asked, "They are still intact." God replied, "Okay, so the trumpets haven't been sounded, yet." Volvox said, "Yes, the bowls are still full, too." God replied, "Okay, Tom said Cyborea was only the beginning, more threats will appear soon." Volvox said, "We have heard, we already confirmed it's not Apep." God replied, "I think I know who it is." Volvox said, "Okay, I have to go back now, Volvox, take it easy." God replied, and he went back to the overworld, "Wait, Emperor Volvox, can you come to us for a minute?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Volvox used his magic to teleport into Equestria, "What is it?" Volvox asked, "What are the seals, trumpets, and bowls?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "You don't know about them?" Volvox asked, "Actually, none of us do." Princess Celestia replied, Volvox sighed, "The seven seals are what triggers the end of the world, the first four seals have already been broken, they are what summoned those four horsemen, the first seal summons the guy on the white horse, he spreads conquest throughout the land, the second seal summons the one on the red horse, he spreads war, the third seal summons the one on the black horse, he spreads famine, and the fourth seal summons the one on the pale horse, he spreads death." Volvox replied, "What do the other three do?" Princess Luna asked, "The fifth seal will cause those who attend the shrines and temples in several of my kingdoms to be slain by martyrs, the sixth seal will cause the sun to be as black as a shadow, and the moon to be red like blood, the stars will fall, nature will be destroyed, and everybody will hide, and the seventh seal will be nothing but pure silence for half an hour, after that, seven angels will appear to sound off trumpets." Volvox replied, the world's natives were uneasy, "What do the trumpets do?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "The first trumpet will cause hail, fire, and blood to fall, and burn up one third of the trees and all of the grass. The second trumpet will cause a burning mountain to fall into the sea, and one third of all ships and sea life will be destroyed, along with one third of the water becoming blood. The third trumpet will make a star called Wormwood fall to the land, and poison one third of my land's drinkable water, its bitter taste will kill people. The fourth trumpet will make the sun, moon, and stars one third dimmer, and they will not move. The fifth trumpet will cause Abaddon to appear with his army to torment my people for five months. The sixth trumpet will cause four angels to come out of the water, they will lead a cavalry of two hundred million troops, and kill a third of my people. The seventh trumpet will cause a new kingdom to rise, and there will be lightning, thunder, earthquakes, and a hailstorm, and the doors to the temple will open." Volvox replied, this made everyone uneasy, "And the bowls?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The seven bowls come after the trumpets, the first bowl will make painful and foul ulcers appear on those who do not worship the gods. The second bowl will make the entire sea change to blood, all life in them will die. The third bowl will make all of the drinking water change to blood. The fourth bowl will make the sun extremely hot, so hot, it burns people alive. The fifth bowl will make darkness appear all over the land. The sixth bowl will dry up all water in my land, and people will prepare for battle. The seventh bowl will make an earthquake happen that will shake my entire land, and a hailstorm will happen, each piece of hail will weigh about a hundred pounds, I think you all may have found out already, but the first threat from Cyborea was only the beginning, someone else was commanding her, when that seventh bowl is poured, that person will also appear." Volvox replied, everycreature was shocked and uneasy, "It ain't gonna affect us, is it?" Applejack asked, "Well, if things go right, no, only my land will be affected." Volvox replied, the others were relieved, "Well, if that time's not for a while, I would like for some of your people to come to the School of Friendship." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, I guess I can try one, I'll send someone besides Tom to check it." Volvox replied, the ponies smiled, "Thank you for giving us a second chance, Volvox, I'll be looking forward to seeing who your student is." Twilight Sparkle said, and Volvox went back to his kingdom. The next day comes and Celestia was raising the sun, but a dragon comes out of the water kingdom and causes an eclipse, everybody realized it was Bakunawa, it blocked out the sun and made the land dark. Princess Celestia flew to Bakunawa, "Excuse me." Princess Celestia said, and Bakunawa looked at her, "I'm going to ask you kindly to move aside." Princess Celestia said, Bakunawa did not listen, "I would like for you to move so I can rise the sun." Princess Celestia said, Bakunawa just ignored her and kept going, "Can you please move so I can put up the sun?" Princess Celestia asked in an annoyed tone, she was trying her best to stay calm, Bakunawa just moved up slowly, Princess Celestia was starting to get angry. The sun moved up on its own and Princess Celestia was surprised, she looked at the sky and saw a female humanoid moving the sun, Volvox and Dommiel looked, they realized it was Amaterasu. Princess Celestia smiled and flew to her, "Thank you, I was at my wit's end." Princess Celestia said, "You're welcome, controlling the sun is my job, too." Amaterasu replied, and she went back to the overworld, Princess Celestia became happy and went back to Canterlot. Volvox asked who in the five kingdoms wanted to go to the School of Friendship, no one did, so he decided to have the ponies decide, they decided to have Nick come. Harvey and Orchid went with him, "Okay, I just need you all to sign here, and we'll be done." Twilight Sparkle said, and Harvey and Orchid signed the papers, "Friends and Family Day is around the corner, I'll be looking forward to seeing you two." Twilight Sparkle said, and the two left, "Do you have any magic to show us, Nick?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Sorry, but no." Nick replied, "Oh, right, your mom didn't teach you." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, I became more like my dad instead." Nick replied, "Was your father like that before you were born?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, but he kept it hidden, his world has this spray paint device that allows people to paint fake skin onto themselves, hybrids like him used it to hide from the world's government." Nick replied, "Oh, I see." Twilight Sparkle said, "How about you? You don't look normal, either. You're the only person around here who has both, a horn and wings." Nick replied, "Oh, about that, I'm a princess, I became one of these after accomplishing a princess worthy deed." Twilight Sparkle said, Nick felt sadness inside himself, "How did you become what you are?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Experimentation, I was mutated into what I am now against my will, so was my dad and Lance." Nick replied, "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, and if possible, I'd like other natives here, too, I still want to share our magic with each other." Twilight Sparkle said, and he went to class. Nick watched the unicorns cast magic, the Pegasi, griffon, dragon, changeling, and hippogriff fly, he also saw earth ponies trying to grow crops, he also saw Ocellus transform from time to time, and Silverstream change to a seapony, Nick stayed at the school for the night. Night time comes and Princess Luna was trying to raise the moon, but it kept moving on its own, Princess Luna was getting angry and looked into the sky, she saw three other deities trying to control the moon, two were male, and one was female, "Let go, I'm trying to raise the moon!" Princess Luna said, "It's my turn to raise the moon." one male deity said, "No, it's my turn." the female deity replied, "No, it's my turn." the other male deity said, the three were pulled out of the sky and into Equestria with telekinesis, Princess Celestia brought them, "Who are you three?" Princess Celestia asked, "I'm Khonshu." one male deity said, "Tsukuyomi." the other male deity said, "Artemis." the female deity said, "We're gods of the moon." Khonshu said, "Then why are you all fighting?" Princess Celestia asked, "We take turns on who raises it at night." Artemis replied, "And it's my turn." Tsukuyomi said, "No, it's my turn." Artemis replied, "Stop it, instead of arguing over who raises the moon, you all should raise it together." Princess Celestia said, the three deities become surprised, and they help Princess Luna raise the moon together, she stops with shock, "Wait. What the?" Princess Luna asked, they looked and saw Rabbit was sleeping on the moon, "Oh, right, Rabbit likes to sleep in the moon sometimes." Khonshu said, Princess Luna rolled her eyes and entered the dream realm, she saw a yokai called a Baku roaming the realm and eating away nightmares, Princess Luna smiled since it made her job easier, she was eating a grilled cheese sandwich while she worked in the dream realm. The next day comes and Volvox was looking at the sky to see when the next natural eclipse will be instead of Bakunawa blocking the view, he heard fighting in his fortress and realized from the noises that Tiger and Dragon were fighting again, Volvox exhaled through his three noses. Tiger and Dragon appeared behind Volvox while he looked at the sky, "Emperor, I cleaned the fortress for you." Tiger said, "No, I cleaned it first." Dragon said, "I cleaned faster than you." Tiger said, "I cleaned more than you." Dragon said, the two growl at one another, "Tiger, Dragon, we've been through this, I don't like one of you more than the other, I like you both equally, there is no need to try to win my favor." Volvox replied, the two continue growling and begin wrestling each other, "And of course, you two never listen." Volvox said while he looked at the sky, Princess Celestia flew to them and separated them with her telekinesis, "Stop it, both of you." Princess Celestia said, the two look at her, "I have heard you two lead when Tiān lù is not around, you two need work together instead of fighting, it will drive your team apart." Princess Celestia said, "Is that why you're here?" Dragon asked, "More, my student wishes to test the powers of you twelve, she'd like to see what you all can do." Princess Celestia replied, the Zodiac animals were silent, "Come on, guys, let's go." Tiger said, and they go to Equestria. The twelve Zodiac animals were in front of Cutie Mark Crusaders clubhouse with the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, Spike, Trixie, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, Princess Ember, and General Seaspray, "Alright, we need to know what you twelve can do, so we'll take turns and show us all of your powers, starting with the two leaders." Twilight Sparkle said, Tiger was able to control fire and manipulate metal, he changed his skin to metal in the process, he also had enhanced physical strength, speed, and endurance, and his claws were able to cut through anything. Dragon had complete control over fire, water, earth, wind, lava, ice, rocks, sand, snow, magma, light, and dark, he was able to change the time of the day, create illusions of the environment to trick his enemies, and create natural disasters, he also had control over wood, Spike and Princess Ember were shocked by how many powers he had. Rabbit was able to create furry copies of himself to trick his opponents, he could also teleport, and shapeshift like a changeling, he also revealed he is powered by the moon, Princess Luna made it appear and Rabbit grew bigger and had canine teeth, Princess Luna made it disappear, Rabbit revealed his last power was telepathic control over jackalopes, they hopped to him to form a unit, he let them go back to their homes shortly afterwards. Rooster could destroy things with his screams, which emitted purple sonic waves to appear, he can also fly for a short time, he transformed into a basilisk after absorbing sunlight, in that form, he could kill things by just touching them, turn creatures into stone with his eyes, and had toxic breath that made creatures choke, plants die, and water contaminated, Rooster changed back to his normal form afterwards, Fluttershy was horrified by his powers. Dog revealed his powers depend on how humans view dogs, they allow him to transform, he transformed into an axehandle hound, which allowed him to use his head like an axe, Aralez, which allowed him to fly, a Barghest, which allows him to mark people for death by giving them a wound that never heals, along with command over other dogs, a Bul-Gae, which made him have control over fire, Cerberus, which allowed him to have three heads and snakes on his necks, along with another snake for his tail, Dip, which allowed him to suck blood, Laelaps, which allowed him to catch anything he chased, and Orthrus, which gave him two heads, and a snake for his tail, Dog's strongest form was all of them combined into one, which scared the world's natives. Monkey could create statues of himself to full others, he can also make his calls come from any and every direction at once, and he could revive the dead, but they came back as monkeys, and he rode a nimbus cloud. Sheep was able to make food, crops, and plants grow, and had control over water, he could turn into water to disappear and appear elsewhere, he also shown himself to be able to create and control tsunamis, this scared the hippogriffs. Rat was a master at using throwing weapons, he can disappear into the shadows and hide in them, he was able to jump from shadow to shadow without coming out of the shadow he was hiding in, he was also able to create duplicates of himself, and his body was filled with diseases, anyone who made any kind of physical contact with him would make them ill and unable to be cured, Rat's last ability scared everyone, if he hid in the shadow of a person or animal, then he will possess that person or animal and have full control over them, and the host will have no memory of what happened when he left them. Pig made tusks grow out of the sides of his mouth and was able to use them as weapons, he can also make his fur turn gold, which shined in the sun and blinded others, he said he needed a volunteer to show his last power, Princess Ember went, he charged at her and she tried to breathe fire, but she could not, he knocked her down and she grunted, he explained his last power was give himself and his allies good luck in battle, while his enemies receive bad luck, which surprised the world's natives. Snake was able to extend his own size, there was no limit to how long or short he can get, he demanded to be cut apart to show his next power, so Rainbow Dash flew away and came back with a sword, she cut him apart and his severed body parts all grew heads and tails, impressing the world's natives, Snake then makes his body come back together, he revealed he can protrude fangs from the top of his mouth, they were seeping with poison, and like Rat's disease infected body, Snake's poison was incurable. Ox was able to harden his own body so he was immune to all damage, and could not feel pain, he can also grow bigger in size, which increased his physical strength, he can also control the size and shape of his horns, while the world's natives found his powers unimpressive, they still liked them. Horse had complete control over wind magic, he was able to run on the air, turn into gusts of wind, and summon tornadoes as well, he can also have a tornado around himself, which not only increased his speed, but destroyed whatever was around him, Horse had wind breath to blow things away, along with creating strong wind by flapping his tail around. The world's natives were impressed with what they can do, "Maybe Trixie can use you all for her shows." Trixie said, "Sorry, but our powers are meant for battle, not to entertain." Ox replied, "Speaking of battle, you two still need to learn teamwork, Tiger and Dragon." Princess Celestia said, "Actually, we all work well as a team." Monkey replied, the other eleven Zodiac animals nod, Princess Celestia scoff, "If you say so, but I'll be watching you twelve." Princess Celestia said, "Why are there no female Zodiac animals for?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the twelve were speechless, "Uh, actually, they were never created." Rabbit said, shocking the Mane Six, "Well, we have to go back now, we've got things to do." Dragon said, and they do, Dragon actually lied and the twelve rested in Volvox's fortress. Two days pass and Volvox decided to take a break from looking for Orchid's world, so he decided to try to look for Silent Hill in his world with his magic, Dommiel helped him, so did the Count of Saint Germain, they ran to him, "Volvox, I think we found it." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Show me the location telepathically." Volvox replied, and Dommiel did, he finds it and gets ready to use his magic to bring the area into the world, he was making it appear under the wind kingdom since there was nothing but dirt there. Volvox makes it appear and the world's natives see it, Volvox looked at it, "No, this is Forgotten Hill, we're looking for Silent Hill." Volvox said, "Drat, we're actually sensing strange things in that area, too." Dommiel replied, "Like what?" Volvox asked, "Monsters, ghosts, human puppets, and people being experimented on in a clinic." Dommiel replied, "Well, we'll check it out later, let's send it back." Volvox said, and he does, and they keep looking, "Wait, I found South Ashfield Heights." the Count of Saint Germain said, and he shows Volvox telepathically, he makes it appear under the wind kingdom, "Can you come here for a minute, Henry?" Volvox asked, and he does, "Is that it?" Volvox asked, "Yes, Room 302 is on the third floor." Henry replied, "Let's go." Volvox said, and he, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, Tom, the twelve Zodiac animals, and Tiān lù get ready to go, "Wait!" Twilight Sparkle said, as she, her other five friends, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Shining Armor, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence went to them, "We're going with you guys." Princess Celestia said, "Alright, but stay close." Volvox replied, and he uses his magic to shrink himself to the size of an average pony, much to the surprise of the ponies, Volvox then teleports himself and the others to Room 302. The thirty one arrive at Room 302 and were in front of the door, Dommiel tries to open it, Fluttershy looks around and exclaims with shock, the others turn around and saw nineteen bloody hand prints on the wall, "What in tarnation?" Applejack asked, "Can we leave? This place is already scaring me." Fluttershy said, "Stay with us, Fluttershy, we need to stay together." Twilight Sparkle said, "The door's locked." Dommiel said, Volvox uses his powers to teleport himself and the others to inside the apartment room, they look and were shocked to see the door was chained up on the inside, "Hey, there's a message." Pinkie Pie said, "Don't go out!! -Walter." Princess Celestia said, "Who's Walter?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I think I know where he's at, this way." Dommiel replied, and he leads them to the hallway, they see a hole in the wall, they enter the secret room and see the supplies Walter used to make himself a ghost, the ponies and Spike were very uncomfortable, "What happened in here?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "He performed a ritual that allowed him to come back as a ghost, and create a world where he is the king." Tom replied, "I am unfamiliar with the material used for whatever ritual he performed, but it does not look like a pleasant one." Princess Celestia said, "Hey, you guys might want to see this." Shining Armor said, and they go to him, they see the water reflection he was looking at, "What is this?" Princess Cadence asked, "It looks like a portal, it looks one way, though." Princess Luna replied, "That's all there is in this room, next area's the door on the right." Volvox said, and they leave and enter the bathroom. Everyone enters the bathroom, it was crammed, Fluttershy screamed in horror, they look at her and became scared when they saw the blood in the bathtub, "What happened here?!" Starlight Glimmer asked, "According to Henry's report, when he woke up, he heard the shower running, he came in here and the shower stopped on its own, and this was here." Volvox replied, the ponies and Spike were uneasy, "Hey, look at that wall." Spike said, they look and saw a big hole in the wall, it was barricaded, and there was a circle with weird symbols around it, "I do not recognize these symbols, if it is a magic seal, then I have no clue what it is." Princess Celestia said, "Next area's the bedroom, follow me." Volvox replied, and he leads them to the bedroom, there was nothing in there, "Henry said this is where he always woke up." Volvox said, "Well, duh, it's his bedroom." Rainbow Dash replied, "That's not what he meant, come with me." Volvox said, and he leads them to the laundry room, the ponies and Spike were shocked when they saw blood coming out of the dryer, "What did he put in there?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "That happened on its own, it was empty." Volvox replied, the world's natives were uneasy, they look and gasp when they saw the hole in the wall, they saw four placards, they look at them, they were called Temptation, Source, Watchfulness, and Chaos, "You all want to enter the hole?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, the ponies and Spike refused, "What else is there?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Henry reported having fourteen hauntings when he lived here, he used candles and medallions to exorcise them." Dommiel replied, "How effective were they?" Princess Cadence asked, "Some hauntings were more stubborn than others, some came back even after being exorcised." Dommiel replied, "It's up to us then, I'm going to cast a spell to exorcise them permanently, we will all see what they are while I do." Princess Celestia said, and she casts the spell, everybody saw the hauntings, the living room's clock ticking really fast, the living room's windows rattling, shoes that walked on their own and left bloody footprints, pulsating cracks in the wall in the living room and bedroom, a ghost appearing in the living room, bedroom, laundry room, and bathroom, a shadow in the bedroom's closet, the phone in the bedroom saying "I'm always watching you.", the living room's couch being covered in blood, blood coming out of the kitchen's faucet, a dead cat in the refrigerator, blood coming out of the peephole and Henry seeing a dead version of himself, the TV having static and an upside-down and twitching man on it, babies above the chest that were caused by a doll, and the picture of the church in the bedroom changing to a portrait of Walter's corpse's face. The hauntings scared everyone, but Princess Celestia exorcised them, "There, is there anything more?" Princess Celestia asked, "Nope, that's all, okay, we found one, we now have to find Shepherd's Glen and Silent Hill, let's get out of here." Volvox replied, and he teleported everyone out along with him, Volvox changes back to his regular size and makes South Ashfield Heights go back to his world, everybody left and went on with their days. A few hours pass and the four kingdoms were trading with items they found in the nature of their respective countries, they all used them for alchemy. A racket was heard in the south and Volvox looked, he heard roaring, "Me hungry." a booming male voice said, everybody looks and they saw a giant human male eating everything, "Of course, Gargantua." Volvox said, Gargantua ate everything in front of him, some of the natives screamed while Gargantua reached down and picked up things, he ate them immediately, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle were shocked by what they saw, they thought Twilight Sparkle had a big appetite, "Beelzebub, your servant got out." Dommiel said jokingly, the ground erupted and flies flew out, Beelzebub came out, he was a giant humanoid fly holding a staff made out of a skull and bones in his upper right leg, Rarity screamed at the sight of the flies, "Where is it?" Beelzebub asked, Dommiel pointed to behind Beelzebub with his right index finger, Beelzebub turns around and saw Gargantua, he quickly turned around, "He does not serve me!" Beelzebub said angrily, "Guys." Twilight Sparkle said to Volvox's and Dommiel's rights and Beelzebub's left, they look and see the ponies, "Who is this?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I am Beelzebub, Prince of Gluttony." Beelzebub replied, "Gluttony?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Yes, he spreads the overindulgence of foods and drinks throughout the land." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Your appetite is insatiable, Gargantua." Tom said, "But me feast in future, right?" Gargantua asked, "You have no future." Tom replied, "What do Tom mean me have no future?!" Gargantua asked, "Your appetite will consume you." Tom replied, and Gargantua kept eating, he was now eating the trees, Tom floated to them, "Volvox, I am seeing in the future that Gargantua was sent by the same person who sent Cyborea and the others." Tom said, "Did you see anything else?" Volvox asked, "In five days from now, Fujin and Raijin will appear in the wind kingdom." Tom replied, Gargantua screams and he body explodes after eating too much, shocking the ponies and Spike, "Well, we have to prepare, sorry for taking up your time, Beelzebub." Volvox said, "There's more, the underworld is acting up, we believe Apep is causing trouble." Beelzebub replied, "I won't be surprised, you should go in case things get ugly." Volvox said, and Beelzebub went back to the underworld, the ground fixed itself, and everyone continued with their days. Two days pass and Friends and Family Day came at the School of Friendship. Orchid went to go see Nick, "Where's your husband and the other kid?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Helping Volvox prepare for battle." Orchid replied, "Wow, I'm surprised you actually showed up, mom." Nick said, "I was forced to come here because of Harvey being unavilable." Orchid replied, "What about finding your home world?" Nick asked, "Dommiel's working on that right now." Orchid replied, "Right, mom, I learned that these creatures need horns to cast magic." Nick said, "Well, that's a pity for them." Orchid replied, "You should've taught your son some of your spells." Princess Cadence said, "There was no need to." Orchid replied, "I still wanted to learn, though." Nick said, "Well, you won't always get what you want, Nick." Orchid replied, "Do you have a horn, Nick?" Fluttershy asked, "Actually, about that." Nick replied, he uses his mutant powers to make horns appear at the sides of his head and on his forehead, shocking everycreature, "I have three horns." Nick said, Princess Celestia walked to him and examined them, "They don't seem capable of casting magic, though." Princess Celestia said, "Are you going to teach me now, mom?" Nick asked, "No." Orchid replied, Nick became disappointed, "I'll be going back now, I have other things to worry about." Orchid said, the world's natives were shocked that Orchid would not spend time with her son. Orchid was about to leave but someone grabbed her by the back of her head and made her look at Nick, they look and saw it was Eric, he held the back of her head with his right hand, the crow was on his right shoulder, "Take a good look at him." Eric said, Orchid did, "You are his mother." Eric said, "So?" Orchid asked, "Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children." Eric replied, Princess Cadence was very touched by what he just said, "It's just a trivial title." Orchid said, "Believe me, nothing is trivial." Eric replied, and he lets go of her, "What are you doing here, Eric?" Nick asked, "The afterlife's acting up, I was revived by some unknown force." Eric replied, Nick made the horns go back under his skin, Eric was curious, he touches Nick's shoulders and sees and feels the time when Nick was experimented on against his will, he grunts and moves back while clutching his head, the others went to him, "You okay?" Rainbow Dash asked, "It is a power of his, through physical contact, he can see the memories of others, and feel whatever pain they felt in that memory." Orchid replied, shocking the world's natives, "The pain you experienced, Nick, it's almost as painful as when I was murdered, and what happened to Shelly." Eric said, Sunset Shimmer ran to him and touched his right bicep with her right front hoof, Princess Celestia casted a spell to summon a screen to see the memory. Everybody saw Eric with Shelly, they were twelve hours from getting married, they saw four men come in, they attacked and raped Shelly, she and Eric were murdered, and Eric came back from the dead, hunted down and killed the people responsible, and the man who sent them. Everycreature was horrified by what they saw, the ponies went over to comfort him, "Come on, maybe talking things out will make you feel better." Starlight Glimmer said, and she took Eric with her for counseling, "Well, I guess that's everything." Twilight Sparkle said, and they continue Friends and Family Day. Three days pass and wind and thunder appeared in the wind kingdom, everybody looks and saw Fujin and Raijin flying around, Fujin made powerful tornadoes appear that destroyed the homes, while Raijin summoned lightning onto the land. Volvox shot hellfire beams out of his six eyes at the two, it did not do much, the lightning from Raijin hit Volvox, it did not hurt him, Fujin makes powerful gusts of wind to blow the homes away of the other kingdoms. Harvey flew up and shot red beams out of his red robotic right eye at the speed of a machine gun, the two were not harmed, Orchid floated up and held her right arm out with her hand open, she shot a yellow beam with gray rocks in it out of her thumb, a small green tornado out of her pinky finger, red and orange fire out of her ring finger, blue water out of her index finger, and purple lightning out of her middle finger, they did nothing, so Orchid's eyes glow blue, water comes out of the water kingdom and floats above Orchid, she makes it go to Raijin and soaks him, he still casted lightning from far away, the water did nothing. Fujin flies around while blowing wind everywhere, Corvo teleported onto him from behind and knocked him out of the air, Corvo stops time and stabs his sword into the right side of Fujin's neck, he holds a crossbow in his left hand and fires five shots at Raijin's head, time moved again, Fujin regenerated from his wound, and Raijin got hit by the arrows, it did not bother him, Fujin moved back and Corvo began to fall, he teleported to the ground and was fine. Raijin keeps casting lightning and it was almost hitting Canterlot, Rainbow Dash quickly flew around with a cloud to absorb the lightning, while Fujin made tornadoes appear to destroy things and mess up her flying, and destroyed nature. Red electricity appears in the sky and it forms a symbol, the world's natives look at it with surprise, Volvox looks and realizes what it was, the symbol shoots out a beam and destroys whatever it touched, Fujin and Raijin were destroyed, the symbol goes down and was on Lazlo's left hand. Princess Celestia flew down into Volvox's kingdom along with the other three Princesses, the rest of the Mane Six and Spike ran there, "Wait, Lazlo, let me see your left hand." Princess Celestia said, and he shows her and the others, they gasp, "What is this?" Princess Cadence asked, "It is the Rune of Punishment, representation of atonement and forgiveness, it is a powerful weapon, but eats away the host's life every time it is used. When the host dies, it passes to the next nearest person, and the previous host changes to ash, and their memories are trapped in it." Volvox replied, shocking the ponies and Spike, "Lazlo, this is too dangerous to have in public, if you visit any of our countries, do not use it under any circumstances." Princess Celestia said, "Maybe I can help." a male voice said, everybody saw Discord, "Add a few touches here and there, and voilà." Discord said, and the Rune of Punishment went haywire, beams and swords shot out everywhere while Lazlo tried to contain it, "Discord!" the Mane Six said sternly, "Oh, my deepest apologies, I did not mean for that to happen." Discord said, and he uses his powers to fix it, the Rune of Punishment then began to summon the people it had killed, "Oh my, it wasn't supposed to do that, either, let me try again." Discord said, and he makes them disappear and the Rune of Punishment appeared on Lazlo's right hand, he now had two, "Uh, Discord, I think it would be best if you don't interfere." Princess Celestia said, "Okay." Discord replied, and he changed things back to normal and disappeared. Tom flew to Volvox, "Volvox, one of your former generals is attacking next, it is Apep." Tom said, "I'd knew he'd return eventually." Volvox replied, "Who's that?" Spike asked, "Apep, a serpent of chaos, he used to serve under me, he betrayed me because I was too orderly for his liking, so I'll have to prepare again." Volvox replied, shocking the ponies and Spike, "Well, good luck, we'll be around if you need any help." Princess Celestia said, and they left Volvox's land. A few days pass and Princess Cadence called Orchid to see her, "Now, Orchid, I know you have your ways of parenting, but you should spend more time with Nick." Princess Cadence said, "Trust me, he wanted to hang out with me all the time when he was a toddler." Orchid replied, "Why isn't he like that now?" Princess Cadence asked, "Because he learned about his father and developed a newfound respect for him, his stories embarrassed Nick to no end when he was a kid, but he grew to love and appreciate him when he learned his tales were actually true." Orchid replied, "About what, exactly?" Princess Cadence asked, "That he was a freedom fighter, everyone in his world's society is purebred, anyone who is a hybrid is looked down upon by society, and worked to death with no pay." Orchid replied, shocking Princess Cadence, "Surely, someone stood up to them." Princess Cadence said, "There was, my husband." Orchid replied, "What about Lance, is he your younger son?" Princess Cadence asked, "No, Nick adopted him, his parents were enemies with my husband." Orchid replied, "I see, well, this way, we have others to speak to you." Princess Cadence said, and she let Orchid into a room, she saw Twilight Velvet, Windy Whistles, Mrs. Shy, Cloudy Quartz, Cookie Crumbles, and Granny Smith, "Please sit, Orchid, we'd like to speak to you." Mrs. Shy said, and Orchid does, Princess Cadence closed the door and sat with the other mares, "Alright, Orchid, we'd like to speak, we're not mad at you or anything, but we would like to know why you spend almost no time with your children." Mrs. Shy said, "I don't have the time." Orchid replied, "I dost not believe that, I hast seen thou reading in thine spare time." Cloudy Quartz said, Orchid took note of her way of speaking, but understood it, "That's my break time." Orchid replied, "You don't bring those two together to read with ya?" Granny Smith asked, "I prefer to read alone." Orchid replied, "What are you doing at the times you're not reading or seeing the emperor?" Princess Cadence asked, "House chores." Orchid replied, "What is the most common house chore you do?" Windy Whistles asked, "Laundry." Orchid replied, "How about cooking?" Cookie Crumbles asked, "Sometimes, it's usually my husband who does the cooking." Orchid replied, "Who cleans the house?" Twilight Velvet asked, "Nick and Lance, they're usually the ones who make the messes in the first place." Orchid replied, "Look, Orchid, it's just, we'd like for you to spend time with your kids." Princess Cadence said, "Are you saying I have to?" Orchid asked, "No, we're saying you should, I think it would mean a lot to Nick, the head mare of his school said he wishes he can spend time with you like how he does with your husband." Princess Cadence replied, "Do any of you know what it's like to look after kids?" Orchid asked, "Yes, we all do, Orchid." Windy Whistles replied, "Really?" Orchid asked, "Orchid, we're all mothers, too, just like you, and before I became a mother, I was a babysitter." Princess Cadence replied, "Do any of you have experience dealing with two kids at once?" Orchid asked, "Yes, I have two kids, too." Twilight Velvet replied, "Well, no, I only have one, but she was a handful." Windy Whistles said, "I have two kids as well." Mrs. Shy said, "I have four kids." Cloudy Quartz said, "I have two kids, too." Cookie Crumbles said, "Ah had a kid, and Ah now have three grandkids." Granny Smith said, Orchid was surprised, but she kept her emotions sealed, "See, Orchid, we have several kids, too, well, except for Windy here, but we still try our best to spend time with them, you should do the same." Cookie Crumbles said, "I guess I can try." Orchid replied, "Thank you, Nick will be coming home soon, and if possible, we can gather together and you can talk about your time with Nick and Lance." Princess Cadence said, "If ya can, maybe you can have Nick and Lance spend time with our kids." Granny Smith said, "Yes, that would be very nice to have." Twilight Velvet said, "I agree, Rainbow Dash would love a new flying partner." Windy Whistles said, "It's their choice, they'll decide on their own." Orchid replied, "Okay then, thank you for coming, Orchid, we'll be looking forward to see how things go, and I hope we can talk about children together." Princess Cadence said, and Orchid left. Nick went home later that day and spent time with his family, Harvey and Lance played around, Orchid tried to join, but she lacked the energy, and due to her concealing her emotions, Cadence and the others did not know how things were going as they watched from the Crystal Empire's balcony. Nick hugged Orchid for joining in, Orchid shrugged and then hugged him, Cadence and the other mares smiled. Volvox was looking at the sky and trying to figure out what to do, the ground burst open and the demons of the underworld came out, he saw Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa were the closest, "What's going on?" Volvox asked, "We don't know, but the underworld is acting up." Stheno replied, "Yes, there's a strange presence down there." Euryale said, "It was slowly killing us, like poison, we don't know what's causing it." Medusa said, Volvox saw the vampires, werewolves, specters, wraiths, the jinn, incubi, succubi, and alps come out as well, most of them came into his land through the five rivers, the world's natives see Phlegethon was very far inside the fire kingdom, and Lethe was the water stream that was westernmost in Volvox's kingdom, the people in his kingdom were busy taking pictures with their phones and recording. A portal opens to Volvox's left and the Count of Saint Germain came out, "Volvox! I bring terrible news!" the Count of Saint Germain said, "What is it?" Volvox asked, "The fifth seal is going to break three days from now!" the Count of Saint Germain said, "What?!" Volvox asked, "Yes, he speaks the truth, before that happens, one more monster will appear, the Nuckelavee." Tom replied, "When?" Volvox asked, "Tomorrow afternoon." Tom replied, "Let's get ready then." Volvox said, and he looks at the earth kingdom, "Attention, all natives of the earth kingdom." Volvox said, and they all come out to see him, "Get out of the country, the Nuckelavee is coming." Volvox said, the natives of the earth kingdom scream with terror and run to Volvox's kingdom, the world's natives were confused. The next day comes and it was afternoon, the people in the water kingdom were screaming as they got out of the water, the world's natives wondered what was going on, they see the water rise up and something moving, the Nuckelavee came to land, all of the world's natives screamed in horror at its appearance, it went to the earth kingdom and was going to cause havoc, "Everybody, use your water spells, it's weak to fresh water." Dommiel said, and the natives of the water kingdom went to Volvox's kingdom to use their water magic, they use the fresh water from the faucets of the homes and shoot it to the Nuckelavee, it was hit, it screeches and its breath was released into the air, all of the walking trees in the earth kingdom began to die, the world's natives were worried about the walking trees, but Dommiel used his telekinesis to put them under the wind kingdom. Nuckelavee keeps advancing, but the head of the horse got blown off by a shotgun, everyone looks and saw Ash, the Nuckelavee begins to fall, and Ash places the chainsaw on its neck and cuts its human head off, it fell over and died, "Now, that's how you take down a monster." Ash said, the ponies looked at him with disapproval, but he went back home and everybody went on with their days afterwards. Two days pass and the technology in Volvox's kingdom began going haywire due to the ghosts haunting them, mostly to play pranks on the humans living in there. A loud shattering sound was heard in the sky, the natives began to move on their own against their wills, Volvox realized what happened, "The fifth seal has been broken." Volvox said, "Quick, get the people who attend the shrines and temples before they are killed by martyrs." Dommiel said, and Tiān lù, the twelve Zodiac animals, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, Tom, and the other natives who were not possessed help get those who attend the shrines and temples, while Volvox and Dommiel used their powers to look for the martyrs and fight them off. Volvox used his hellfire powers to take out the martyrs in the water, earth, and wind kingdoms, while Dommiel used his shadow powers to fend off the martyrs in the fire kingdom, he was making shadow creatures come out of their shadows to attack them. Horse ran around to rescue the ones in the shrines and temples with his wind magic, while Ox and Pig held them off, Tiger and Dragon worked together to fight off the martyrs, while Rabbit and Monkey deceived them, Rat threw kunais at the martyrs to distract them, Rooster changed to a basilisk and turned some of them to stone with his gaze, Dog made himself have five heads and two tails that were snakes by fusing Cerberus and Orthrus together, it scared the martyrs, Sheep used his water powers to help those in the water kingdom to safety, and Snake slithered around to block the paths of the martyrs. Tiān lù controlled gold with his mind and shot it at the martyrs, it hurt them, some died from them, he did what he could to hold them off. Tom looked into the eyes of others and gave them visions of how they will die, it scared the martyrs into quitting, Giovi used his fire magic and telekinesis to fight the martyrs in the water kingdom. The world's natives went over to help them and take those who attended the shrines and temples to safety, "Everybody, this way." Twilight Sparkle said, and they were led into their countries, some of them went to go help them fight the martyrs. The natives of the fire kingdom and earth kingdom were the main ones who fought the martyrs, the natives of the world joined shortly afterwards and they were apprehended, they were no longer controlled and had no memory on what has happened. A glass shattering sound was heard in the sky again, an earthquake happened, the sun became black, the moon rose and it became blood red, and stars fell out of the sky, the earthquake broke some of the ground, the world's natives realize the sixth seal was broken. Another glass shattering sound was heard in the sky, and silence happened afterwards, "Everyone out, the seventh seal has been broken." Volvox said, and the natives of his land go to Equestria, the Dragon Lands, Griffonstone, Yakyakistan, the Changeling Hive, and Mount Aris. The sky acts up again and Volvox saw the Greek, Aztec, Egyptian, Norse, Japanese, and Hindu gods come down, along with God and his lamb, "Something's wrong, we've been forced out of the overworld." Brahma said, "What is it?" Volvox asked, "Something just threw us out, we don't know what." Athena replied, "Can you all describe it?" Dommiel asked, "There was this invisible force, it just literally threw us out of the overworld." Hera replied, "We don't know what's going on, it's like something of divine power is acting." Ra said, "We did sense the powers, though, it feels like Apep's doing." Vishnu said, "Well, let's worry about that later, the seven trumpets are going to sound in thirty minutes." Volvox replied, "Volvox, I have found an error in the seals, trumpets, and bowls, the two witnesses are not going to happen, neither will the seven thunders." Tom said, "I didn't think so, something's obviously not right." Volvox replied, and they all wait. Thirty minutes pass and the first trumpet was heard in the sky, hail, fire, and blood fell from the sky, one third of the trees in the south, and all plants on the ground in the east, west, and south burn up. The second trumpet sounds and a mountain that was on fire falls into the water in the west, one third of the marine life in the water died, and a third of the water changed to blood. The third trumpet sounds and a star falls from the sky, it poisons all of the freshwater in Volvox's kingdom. The fourth trumpet sounds and the sun, moon, and stars become one third dimmer. An angel flies down to the land, "Woe, woe, woe." the angel said, and the fifth trumpet sounded, a star fell and opened up the ground, smoke comes out and darkens the sky, Abaddon came out of the hole, he was a demon with upside-down wings, his locusts appeared, they were warhorses, with the face of men, the teeth of lions, the wings of locusts, long hair, and the tails of scorpions, they all wore gold crowns and iron breastplates, "Go, the five month torment begins, do not kill anyone." Abaddon said, and they go forward. Volvox, the gods, and the demons fend them off, while there was many, they went down easily, the unicorns, alicorns, and changelings joined in to help, the locusts were easy to take down, and they were apprehended, "Wait, stop." Abaddon said, and the locusts did, "Where is everyone?" Abaddon asked, the locusts looked and saw all of Volvox's citizens were missing, "They died." Volvox replied, "How?" Abaddon asked, "Cyborea Iscariot and her army got them." Volvox replied, "Oh, I see, I don't have to do my job, then." Abaddon said, "We still have to apprehend you." Hera replied, "Oh." Abaddon said as he looked down, "Come with us now, Abaddon." Odin said, and he was taken away. The sixth trumpet sounds and four angels flew down, to the west and went underwater, noises were heard in the water, two hundred million horses came out, each horse had the head of a lion and a snake for their tails. Plague came out of their mouths, along with fire, smoke. The mounted horsemen were wearing breastplates that were the color of fire. The changelings change into them and go over to help, the werewolves absorb the moonlight and transform, they ran to fight them as well. Rat created duplicates of himself and entered the shadows of the horses to control them, Snake made his own body grow longer and he wrapped himself around the cavalry, Pig shined his fur to blind them, and the unicorns and alicorns shot magic at them. The changelings changed to bears to fight the cavalry, they struggled, so the yaks joined and knocked them down from behind, Sheep did as well. Volvox sent Phoenix and Thunderbird to fight the four angels, the two shoot fire and lightning at the four angels, Phoenix also absorbed fire out of the horses, the changelings subdued the cavalry with their sizes and strength, the gods subdued them with the unicorns, the four angels fought Volvox's two birds, Horse and Sheep went to them to help, Horse mixed his wind magic with Phoenix while Sheep mixed his water magic with Thunderbird, the two shot their magic at the four angels, they all got burned, blown away, soaked, and electrocuted, they scream and fall, they stopped so they do not kill them, they were arrested by the gods. The seventh trumpet sounds and lightning, thunder, earthquakes, and hail appeared everywhere in Volvox's land, a kingdom came out in the east, under the wind kingdom, it looked like an ancient Egyptian society. The doors to the temple opens and Set comes out, he makes desert storms appear out of thin air and shoots it to the people in Volvox's land, "It is my time to rule, those who oppose me shall die." Set said, and he saw Osiris going over to fight his brother, "Stay back, this is my fight." Osiris said, and he flew to Set. Set makes desert storms appear to blow Osiris back while he makes Egyptian symbols appear and the water in the west begins to have zombies come out of it, they go to Osiris and were going to help him, but they were slow, Dommiel rolls his eyes and sends them to Osiris with telekinesis. They arrive and try to take Set down to eat him, "One reason why I don't use zombies often." Volvox said, "Yeah, they have no brain to think with." Dommiel replied, and they keep watching. Set makes more desert storms appear while Osiris commands the undead, Set was soon pulled down and screamed as he was devoured, "Wait!" Twilight Sparkle said as she flew to Osiris, he looks at her, "Aren't you going to forgive him?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "How can I? He usurped my throne once, and now he wants to claim it again." Osiris replied, "Please, spare him, maybe he can still change his ways." Twilight Sparkle said, Osiris looks at Set, "Nope, too late." Osiris replied, Twilight Sparkle looks and saw Set was already devoured, Twilight Sparkle was shocked and looked at Osiris, Set groans a bit and tried to move, but Corvo made rats appear to eat the rest of him, he was gone for good at that time, Twilight Sparkle was still very shocked. The ground erupts and a big serpent comes out, it was bigger than Set, it was sixteen yards long, wore a helmet made out of flint, and had a gold body, "I have returned, Volvox." the serpent said, "You finally showed yourself, Apep." Volvox said in a deadpan tone, Apep uses his gaze to hypnotize the other gods and they went to go attack the others, the world's natives screamed as the gods attacked, great destruction appeared. Volvox shot hellfire blasts out of his three mouths, it did not do much to Apep, he shot purple venom out of his mouths at him, Dommiel made his shadow attack Apep, it did not do much, Corvo tried to possess Apep, but he could not, Lazlo's Rune of Punishment was ineffective against him, Ash's bullets were not doing well, and his chainsaw could not cut through his hide, and Eric's shotgun was not doing anything against him. Bullets riddle Apep's body and he screams in pain, the hypnotizing ends, everybody looks and they saw Alucard, "Alucard." Volvox said with surprise, Apep shoots poison out of his mouth, it destroyed Alucard, but he generated, shocking everyone, "What the?" Apep asked, Alucard laughed, "What's so funny?" Apep asked, "A monster cannot kill a monster like me, the only thing that can kill me is a human." Alucard replied, Apep was shocked, but he felt something cut him from behind, the person jumps and everyone saw Samurai Jack, "I hope I'm not too late." Samurai Jack said, "No, you're just in time." Ra replied, "Where are Set's minions?" Samurai Jack asked, "They didn't appear." Ra replied, "You fools! I cannot be destroyed!" Apep said angrily, and he got ready to attack, but Snake made his own size grow and tangled Apep, Ra, Amaterasu, and Apollo use the sun to try to burn him, it did nothing, Princess Celestia joined and she used her powers over the sun to combine it with theirs, Samurai Jack cut him to pieces, and Alucard and the man in the red trench coat shot him to smithereens with their black and white pistols. Everybody gathers around and Tom floats to them, "Everyone, the last threat will appear after the seven bowls, he's the one who's controlling all of the monsters." Tom said, "Who could it be?" Hades asked, Tom has a vision and becomes shocked, "What is it, Tom?" Susanoo asked, "The last monster is Volvox's former second-in-command." Tom replied, the gods became shocked and scared, "I thought so, I had a feeling Typhon was behind this." Volvox said, "Excuse me." Princess Celestia said as she flew to Volvox, "Who's Typhon?" Princess Celestia asked, "My treacherous second-in-command, he was my right hand before Dommiel here, he tried to overthrow me so he can control the land, he will doom us all if he wins." Volvox replied, the world's natives were shocked, "We'll keep an eye on your people." Princess Celestia said, "Okay, thank you." Volvox replied, and Princess Celestia flew back. A day passes and the angels, demons, and gods met with the world's natives, they learned there were two types of angels and demons, the regular ones, and the humans who became angels and demons by practicing the forbidden arts, they lived in caste systems as well, with the humans lower than the regular angels and demons, the gods ruled the overworld, while the underworld was ruled by marquises, counts, dukes, princes, and kings, they had many rulers, they checked Volvox's citizens to make sure they were alright. Telepathically controlled angels fly in the sky, everyone sees seven of them, each one had a bowl of red liquid. The first bowl is poured and sores and ulcers appear on Volvox's citizens, the world's natives, angels, demons, gods, and Volvox and his court look at them with great worry as they scream in pain. Nurse Redheart and the others rush to them to try to treat them. The second bowl is poured and all of the sea in Volvox's land changes to blood, the marine life die, much to the hippogriffs' horrors. The third bowl and all of the drinking water changed to blood. The fourth bowl pours and the sun becomes blazing hot, Volvox's people catch on fire, the natives of the fire kingdom were immune, so was Volvox and his court, and the gods, Rooster absorbed the sun to make himself stronger while Princess Celestia, Amaterasu, Ra, Surya, and Huitzilopochtli desperately tried to power down the sun, they managed to after a struggle. The fifth bowl is poured and darkness enshrouded Volvox's land, Volvox's people refused to worship Typhon. The sixth bowl is poured and the water kingdom dries up, "Everybody, get ready." Volvox said, and they all were ready to fight. The seventh bowl is poured and a giant earthquake happens, and a hailstorm happens as well, with each hail weighing as much as a hundred pounds. Volvox uses his telekinesis to stop the hail in midair and make them fall gently, the Pegasi try to use clouds to absorb the hail and prevent it from hitting everyone, the earthquake stops and everything was destroyed. The ground erupts and a tall humanoid figure comes out, he blocked out the entire sky, he had yellowish-green skin, big orange bat-like wings coming out of his back, arms with snakes acting as his fingers, big snakes for the lower half of his body, snakes coming out the sides of his head, his main head was shaped like a horse's head, it was light black, and he had small black mane going down to his sacrum, "I have returned, Volvox." the monster said in a deep, booming voice, "It's been a long time, Typhon." Volvox replied, Indeed, this land is mine to control." Typhon said, and he shoots lava out of his heads, shocking the world's natives, "How many heads does he have?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "One... hundred." a male giant replied weakly, "A hundred heads? I've never heard of anyone having a hundred heads before." Twilight Sparkle said, "Twilight, go unlock the chest for the Rainbow Power, I think we're going to need it against him." Princess Celestia said, and she and her five friends ran to the chest. Volvox and the others try to hold Typhon off, but they were doing very little, Zeus' thunderbolts were the most effective thing right now, Volvox's hellfire powers did little against Typhon's lava powers, he also made hurricanes and tornadoes, which blew everyone except Volvox away. Volvox tried using his telekinesis to make Typhon's snake shoot lava at him instead, it did nothing to him. The world's natives join in and try to help, Harvey changed his right hand to a gun and shot a purple sonic beam at Typhon, it did nothing, his right robotic eye lights up and he shoots red beams at Typhon, they shot at the speed of a machine gun, it also did nothing, so Harvey held his left foot out, the heel opened and Harvey shot a small rocket out of his foot, it hit Typhon and exploded, but did nothing to him, Nick and Lance had the same abilities as Harvey, but were not as good at combat as he was, Orchid used her five elements to shoot blasts at Typhon, he was immune to them all. Volvox uses his powers to change the environment around, he made volcanoes, blizzards, avalanches, hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms, and earthquakes happen all at once with his magic, it proved ineffective. Phoenix and Thunderbird tried shooting fire and lightning out of their mouths at him, Typhon took control of Phoenix's fire and burned him with it, while he used his wind powers to make Thunderbird's lightning go back to him, the two were knocked out of the sky. Rat tried to take over Typhon by going into his shadow, but could not, Typhon used his mind to force him out, Rat tried throwing knives at him, it did nothing, one of the snakes that made up Typhon's lower body landed on top of him, and injured him greatly. Ox tried growing in size and increasing his physical strength, Typhon smashed him with his right fist, but Ox was not killed. Tiger tried to scratch Typhon's hide while he made himself made out of metal, he could not cut through his skin, Typhon blew him away with his wind powers. Rabbit commanded the jackalopes to attack Typhon, but he unleashed a circle of wind around himself to blow them away. Dragon tried using all of his powers on Typhon, none of them worked on him, Typhon burned him with volcanic lava. Snake increased his own size and tried to wrap around Typhon, but he used his ninety nine snakes to wrap him. Horse ran around with the wind in an attempt to trample Typhon from different places, but Typhon controlled the wind and shot him away. Sheep tried to use his water powers to wash Typhon away, but he made volcanoes erupt around him to prevent the water from reaching him. Monkey revived the dead in the form of monkeys and he led them to attack Typhon, he shot lava out of his main head and melted them, while Monkey himself was missing, he appeared on the back of Typhon's head and tried to pull him down, but Typhon simply jumped up and landed on the ground on his back, smashing Monkey in the process, and greatly injuring him, Typhon got back up. Rooster screamed purple sonic waves out of his mouth at Typhon, it did nothing to him, he tried to turn Typhon's snake heads into stone with his gaze, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa tried to help him, but Typhon smashed them with his left hand, the four were injured, but not killed. Dog fused all of his forms together into one, his fire powers did nothing to Typhon, he also tried to slash Typhon to give him wounds that would not heal, but he could not cut through his skin, so he tried biting into him with the snakes on his five necks and the two snakes he had for his tails, he bit through, but realized Typhon was immune to poison, and Dog himself felt sick, he realized Typhon's body was full of diseases and poisons. Pig tried to blind Typhon by shining gold, it did nothing to him, and his powers to give Typhon bad luck did not work, either, so Typhon got Snake off of him and threw him at Pig, the two were knocked back. Tiān lù tried making coins cut through Typhon's skin, it did nothing, Typhon used his wind powers to blow Tiān lù away. Corvo tried shooting Typhon with his pistol, it had no effect, the Count of Saint Germain tried using his pistol as well, it did nothing, Dommiel's shadow powers were ineffective against him, Giovi's fire powers and telekinesis did nothing to him, neither did the blades he had for his claws, Lazlo's Rune of Punishment was ineffective as well, so was the Rage Rune on his right hand, Talos' sword could not cut through Typhon's body, and Eric, Alucard, and the man in the red trench coat were not able to damage him. The man in the red trench coat changed to a demon and tried attacking him with his sword, it was still ineffective. Hooks and chains latch onto Typhon, but did not cut through his skin, everybody saw Pinhead, Female, Butterball, and Chatterer, Pinhead directed the hooks, "You desire to rule, there's a spot in Hell that is open to being ruled." Pinhead said, "I am not falling for desires, cenobite, I refuse to become one as well." Typhon replied, and he used his wind magic to shoot the hooks and chains back. Pinhead directed the hooks and chains around while the others continued to fight, Ash's shotgun and chainsaw did nothing, the Laestrygonians came up to help as well, but they could not get near Typhon due to him making volcanoes erupt around him. Dommiel and Tom shot beams out of their hands at Typhon, Tom's beams were yellow while Dommiel's were black, "Volvox, try calling for help from our world." Tom said, and he does, he managed to get into contact with two people, he opened portals and they came into the world, Volvox saw the Dovahkiin and the Slayer of Demons. Dovahkiin releases a thu'um to blow Typhon's wind back and the Slayer of Demons ran to Typhon to fight him, holding the Storm Ruler in his right hand, and the Adjudicator's Shield in his left hand. The Slayer of Demons holds up the Storm Ruler and charges it up, he slams it down with a slash in the sky, it hit Typhon, it stunned him a bit, but did not do much, the Slayer of Demons tried again, but Typhon moved the slash away with his wind magic. The Mane Six unlock the chest with the Rainbow Power and they float to where the fight was taking place, they saw the unicorns, alicorns, and changelings using their beams against Typhon, they were doing nothing. The Mane Six, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Star Swirl the Bearded, and Mistmane combine their magic together to unleash a big beam at Typhon. The hundred heads and two hundred eyes of Typhon all shot lava out, Volvox's six eyes and three mouths shot out orange hellfire, but there were many beams, and destroyed whatever they touched, they intercepted with some of Typhon's beams and canceled each other out, Zeus throws a lightning bolt at his chest, Typhon grunted a bit and was stunned, he looks and saw the powers of the other gods were not working. The solid objects around Typhon begin moving around and attacking him, he becomes confused and saw Discord manipulating the land, he shot a beam at Discord out of his main head and destroyed Discord, his body floated around and continued causing chaos to distract Typhon. The beam from the Rainbow Power, princesses, Shining Armor, Star Swirl the Bearded, and Mistmane was not enough to get past Typhon's lava beams when he only fused thirty of his three hundred beams and entered a deadlock with them, they were tied, so he adds thirty more and was two times stronger than them, the changelings change to the alicorns and shoot their beams into the ponies' beams, they were managing to overpower Typhon until he added ninety more to his beam, he was just a little stronger now, the gods and goddesses use the sun and moon to attack him, they shoot beams at him, Typhon adds ninety more of his beams into his to overpower them, Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom shoot beams out to make the ponies' beam stronger, Typhon adds thirty more and was at a stalemate again, Orchid shoots out ten small beams, two of each of the five elements she controls, it was not strong enough to overpower Typhon, so Harvey, Nick, and Lance shoot purple sonic beams out of the guns for their right hands, it was still not strong enough. A green blast and an orange blast were shot from behind and hit Typhon's beam, everybody looks back and saw Queen Chrysalis and Tirek, much to their surprises. Typhon adds his last thirty beams and made a huge beam, Volvox shot six more beams out, one from each eye, so did Dommiel, and Tom, their beam was now as equally as strong as Typhon's beam. The Slayer of Demons readies the Storm Ruler and slashes the sky, he hits Typhon, the Dovahkiin does a thu'um to knock him back at that time as well, he grunts and stumbles, his beams move back and was hit by the big beam of the ponies, changelings, two of the Pillars, Volvox, Dommiel, Giovi, Tom, and several of the gods, Typhon gets hit and screams as he flew back, he destroyed part of the ground, he groaned and tried to get up. Zeus threw thunderbolts at him and destroyed his snake heads, Volvox burned them off, and Alcuard destroyed the rest with his pistols, only Typhon's main head remained, the man in the red trench coat aims a black pistol at his head with his right hand, "Jackpot." the man in the red trench coat said, and shot a bullet at Typhon's main head, he screams and was completely destroyed. Volvox sighed with relief while the natives of the world cheered, so did the citizens of Volvox's land, "Good job, guys." Ares said, Volvox glares at him, "Why didn't you help?" Volvox asked, "I did, I helped Thor fight off the cavalry, so did Odin." Ares replied, "Dovahkiin, Slayer of Demons, thank you, I'll send you all back now." Volvox said, and he does. Volvox looks for a genie lamp in his home world and transfers it into the world he was in, "Would you kindly, Orchid?" Volvox asked, and Orchid rubbed the gold lamp with her left hand, a female genie came out, "I am Shantae, the genie of the lamp, and I will grant you one wish." the genie said, "Want to head home, Orchid?" Volvox asked, she looks around for a minute, "No, even if I do find my world, I'll still have to live here and take care of Nick and Lance." Orchid replied, she looks at Shantae and says "I wish for this land and people to be fixed.", Shantae looks around, "Well, that's basically two wishes, but eh, I'll do it." Shantae said, and she does, she went back into the lamp. Volvox's land and people were back to normal, Volvox sends the lamp back to his world, "Hold on a minute, why didn't ya wish Typhon to never appear in the first place?" Applejack asked, "Because Typhon, Set, Apep, Fujin, and Raijin are gods, they can't be wished away, they're immune, also, if the Four Horsemen, four beasts, Judas, Cyborea, Popobawa, Gargantua, Nuckelavee, and Abaddon were wished to never come out, those five could undo it with their powers." Volvox replied, shocking the world's natives, "Twilight, we have to come up with precautions, Typhon is the most powerful being this world has ever faced, as you saw, he was even stronger than Tirek at his full power, we have to make precautions if someone as powerful as him ever rises, and that time, these people may not be here to help us." Princess Celestia said, the other rulers of the world agreed, "How much longer are we going to be here, Tom?" Volvox asked, "One more week." Tom replied, "Okay, let's get things ready to go home." Volvox said, and everybody rested for the rest of the day. Two days go by with Volvox's land having a good relationship with the other countries, they all showed them how to learn their magic, they had to meditate where the fire, water, earth, or wind was at, they would absorb the element that was the most present. Princess Cadence, Twilight Velvet, Windy Whistles, Cloudy Quartz, Mrs. Shy, Cooke Crumbles, and Granny Smith gathered together with Orchid to ask her about her kids, she was spending more time with them, but still felt like she needed some time off. Orchid plays with Nick and Lance when Harvey was not around, Princess Cadence tried to show her how to be more engaging, she heard laughing and saw Lance and Flurry Heart playing together, while Nick played with the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Orchid decided to try to join while Princess Cadence and the mothers of the Mane Six smiled, they played with them as well. Volvox got ready to go home with his kingdom, they were ready to leave, he saw Ash with the rulers of Equestria and the Mane Six, "You still could learn some friendship, Ash." Princess Celestia said, "Between my boomstick and chainsaw, my friends are not as valuable." Ash replied, "You are not a hero, it is a title you do not deserve." Princess Luna said, "Just to let you know, from where I come from, I'm considered a goody two shoes." Ash replied, shocking the ponies and Spike, they have watched Ash get drunk, smoke, and date a different woman every day, "You're a goody two shoes?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "From where I come from, yes." Ash replied, shocking them all greatly, "I want you to think about your actions back at home, Ash, I also heard you don't pay taxes." Princess Celestia said, "You're right, I don't, so all I know is death." Ash replied, shocking the ponies, "I do not understand how women how love you." Rarity said, "Trust me, I've got my own charms." Ash replied, "There is no way I would ever fall in love with you." Princess Cadence said, "That's unusual, usually, women like me from the get go." Ash replied, shocking the Mane Six and princesses, "How?!" Rarity asked, "Cause I'm groovy." Ash replied, shocking the ponies and Spike, "Don't you ever think about the dreams you leave them?!" Princess Luna asked, "They're usually good dreams." Ash replied, "Well, you may be a hero to them, but you are not a hero to us, a true hero doesn't behave in such a way." Princess Celestia said, "Are we done here?" Ash asked, "Yes, you are dismissed." Princess Celestia replied, and Ash walked back home. Tom was seeing the others and giving their futures, "You chose your actions poorly." Tom said, "All I did was become a father." a male dwarf replied, "A burden you will grow to regret." Tom said, the dwarf left in confusion, a female wakwak flew to him, "You will die for your thievery." Tom said, "But the store said they were free." the wakwak replied, "That means you have to pay for them with your life." Tom said, the wakwak screams and flies away, a female fairy flew up to him, "You are going to fail at your task." Tom said, "I just want to find my missing children." the fairy replied, "Death awaits you." Tom said, the fairy gasps and flies away crying, "That's enough, Tom." Princess Luna said, he looks to his right and saw her with the other princesses and Mane Six, "We've been listening to you every day, just because you can see the future does not mean you can be mean about it." Twilight Sparkle said, "I am just giving the facts, if they cannot handle it, that is their problem." Tom replied, "Give us the helmet, Tom." Princess Celestia said, "The helmet stays on." Tom replied, Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, and Rarity use telekinesis to take it off, they see Tom was a human, he had an oblong face shape, short black hair, and tan skin, his eyes were still white and monochromatic, "Now, we'll show you how its done." Twilight Sparkle said, and they put the helmet on Fluttershy, it changed its shape to fit her, she saw everything that will happen in the future. Fluttershy went to the next person, it was a swan maiden, "Um, I don't know how to say this, but you're going to have an unhappy marriage." Fluttershy said, her voice echoed a little, "What do you mean?" the swan maiden asked, "He's going to be a big meanie to you." Fluttershy replied, the swan maiden was a bit shocked, she walked away while crying, a male elf went up to her next, "I'm sorry, but you will not reach your dreams." Fluttershy said, the elf became sad and walked away, a female giant walked up to her, "Oh, this is wonderful, you're going to have a lot of hardships raising a family, but you're going to come out fine and happy." Fluttershy said, the giant became happy and walked away. All of the people were gone, "See, Tom, it's better to say nice things." Fluttershy said, "I cannot say the same with how you all talk to Cozy Glow." Tom replied, his voice still echoed, "What the? You still have your powers?" Rainbow Dash asked, "As I said, I do not need the helmet to see the future." Tom replied, "Then why are you still wearing it?" Princess Celestia asked, "It increases my power." Tom replied, "We've been through this, Tom, Cozy Glow is staying in the school." Twilight Sparkle said, "Disaster awaits." Tom replied, shocking the Mane Six, Fluttershy tries to get the helmet off but could not, so the princesses and Rarity take it off of her with their telekinesis, Tom puts it back on, "I will be elsewhere." Tom said, and he floated away, the princess and Mane Six walked back home. All of Volvox's court recovered and he saw them in Equestria, he noticed Tiger and Dragon were fighting again, and Rainbow Dash and Applejack had to break them up, he sighed and shook his center head. He also saw Corvo walking around in Ponyville, he feels something strange behind him and the Outsider appeared, "Look at that, Corvo, you have once again saved another kingdom, just as you did with Dunwall." the Outsider said, Corvo was silent, "You have slain a god, and a beast, I never expected anyone to be able to best Typhon, but he did not use his powers as creatively as I hoped, maybe I would have paid him a visit if he used his powers in a more interesting way." the Outsider said, Corvo did not respond, "You still fascinate me." the Outsider said, and he disappeared, Corvo saw no one was around, and he continued walking, with his mask scaring the foals. Volvox looks around and sees everything was normal and peaceful again, he was almost done with charging up his magic to send his land back home. Night time comes and Princess Luna finds the Void, where the Outsider was at, but she could not enter, she rolled her eyes but continued on with working in the dream realm. Princess Luna noticed several humans getting attacked in their dreams, she looks and saw Freddy Krueger haunting them, she was about to confront him, but he disappeared, she became confused and saw someone activated the Lament Configuration in their dream, and summoned Pinhead to get rid of him, that person became a cenobite in the process, the transformation was too horrifying for Princess Luna to watch, she ignores it and continues on with her duties. Volvox was ready to take everyone home the next day, they all said bye to one another, "Good luck to all of you, and good luck finding Orchid's world, it was a pleasure to have you all here." Princess Celestia said, "Feeling's mutual." Volvox replied, "Yes, this was an enjoyable world." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Well, everyone, it's time to go." Volvox said, and the world's natives said bye to them and they teleported back into their world. The world's natives used the magic they learned from them for fun, the only pony who truly mastered their magic was Scootaloo, who used their wind magic to make herself fly. The world's natives took notes on their magic and try to use it, they also fused their magic with their own and created new spells they never thought was possible. PrehistoryVolvox was created by the Maker and given the Earth to rule, he decided since it was the beginning of his reign, he would experiment around. He created dragons and land dwelling dinosaurs first, he had fun watching them grow, but he got a telepathic message from the Maker to create more animals, and some plant life and water, he did not mind, he actually liked the sound of diversity. Volvox had to create cats, dogs, rhinoceroses, elephants, bears, turtles, pigs, snakes, alligators, crocodiles, squids, sharks, lizards, sloths, birds, frogs, apes, dinosaurs to live in the water, flying dinosaurs, and bugs, he got to it, and finished after some time, he added plant life afterwards, he made the grass about four feet tall, and he made trees appear everywhere, each tree was three thousand fifty feet tall, fifty feet taller than Volvox, and thirty feet in diameter. The creatures were divided, not by what kind of creature they were, but by where they lived, there was three classes: land, air, and sea, they did not like one another, only the dragons, dinosaurs, and bugs lived all three areas, but they were divided as well, and Volvox decided that since each creature needed a ruler, it will be decided by physical strength, so each ruler ended up being male due to them being physically stronger than the females, but they still had a word in saying things if they did not like anything. The dragon king was Dommiel, he was Volvox's second-in-command and bodyguard, he was a wyvern, and the only dragon that can walk on land, fly in the sky, and breathe underwater. The sauropod king was Argentinosaurus, the theropod king was Tom, he was a spinosaurus, and the ruler of all dinosaurs, the ornithopod king was Shantungosaurus, the ceratopsia king was Eotriceratops, the pachycephalosauria king was Pachycephalosaurus, the thyreophora king was Stegosaurus, the mosasaur king was Mosasaurus, the pilosaur king was Kronosaurus, the plesiosaur king was Elasmosaurus, the ichthyosaur king was Shonisaurus, the nothosaur king was Nothosaurus, the pterosaur king was Arambourgiania, the cat king was Smilodon, the dog king was Amphicyon, the rhinoceros king was Elasmotherium, the elephant king was Anancus, the bear king was Arctodus, the turtle king was Archelon, the pig king was Entelodont, the snake king was Titanoboa, the alligator king was Deinosuchus, the crocodile king was Sarcosuchus, the squid king was Cameroceras, the shark king was Megalodon, the lizard king was Megalania, the sloth king was Megatherium, the bird king was Argentavis, the frog king was Beelzebufo, the ape king was Gigantopithecus, and the bug king was Arthropleura. Volvox was a bit nervous on how to feed the carnivores of his land, but the kings and some of their advisers had the perfect idea, they would sentence the criminals in their society to death by having them eaten by the carnivores, before that, Dommiel would burn their limbs off so they could not fight back, Volvox used his magic to remove their teeth and tails as well. The creatures did not have a culture, they all ate and drank water to survive, there was no music, no art, no fashion, the only form of entertainment they had was fighting, and the loser would get killed, and eaten by the carnivores and omnivores, each creature was only allowed to fight their own kind, since fighting a different kind could bring some unfair advantages and disadvantages to the fighters. Volvox thought his kingdom was perfect, it was mostly peaceful, even though creatures were still divided by land, sky, and sea, the creatures who fell into the sky category had to live in the trees, while no creature that flew around or walked on land was allowed into the water, they can only drink from it, Volvox made small mindless bugs and fish for the carnivores to eat, Arthropleura would sometimes send bugs out to be eaten as well, especially if they cause trouble in his kingdom. Volvox was the emperor, since the other kings answered to him, but he was not to be disturbed about anything, if they had something to say, they would go to Dommiel, and he would report it to Volvox if he thought it was worth noticing. The sky becomes filled with black clouds and they move around in a counterclockwise circle, "Volvox, you might want to see this." Dommiel said from afar, the ground burst open and Volvox came out, he walked to where Dommiel was at while the ground fixed itself. Volvox sees all of the creatures were together and looking at the same spot as Dommiel, "Make way." Volvox said as he walked forward, the other creatures move to his sides and look at the spinning clouds, "You finally showed, Volvox." a voice said in the sky, it surprised the other creatures, Volvox realized it was the Maker, it spoke with a man's voice and a woman's voice in unison, "What is it, Maker?" Volvox asked, "I have a lesson for you, Volvox, you need to learn to change your kingdom for the better." the Maker replied, "My kingdom is perfect." Volvox said, the other creatures agreed with him, "Really? I'm going to send this land to another world, full of six other kingdoms, and you're going to see what they think of your ways." the Maker replied, and the clouds spun faster, and Volvox's kingdom got sucked in, the sky changed back to normal. Volvox and all of the other creatures travel through a wormhole, they look around and see nothing, Volvox stretches his three necks out and looks forward, "Everybody, we're going to a land that seems to have magic, but it looks small." Volvox said, and he reverted his necks back to normal. The creatures look and see the land, they were going to be to the northeast of Canterlot, and to the southeast of the Crystal Empire, "Everyone, brace for impact." Volvox said, and they did as their land entered the new world. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs lived peacefully until they felt a surge of magic at where Volvox's land was going to appear, it was small, so they ignored it, until the area of Equestria where they were going to appear began moving on its own to make space for them, everybody looked on and wondered what was appearing. Volvox's land appeared and everybody was shocked by the size of the trees, "Whoa!" Rainbow Dash said, "Those trees are huge!" Sandbar said, Twilight Sparkle flew to Princess Celestia, who was on the balcony in Canterlot, "What do you think, Princess Celestia?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Those are the biggest trees I've ever seen." Princess Celestia replied, the sun was in the center, but she was nervous about the mornings when she would have to raise the sun. Princess Luna was looking as well, she was too shocked to say anything at that time. Some of the griffons, dragons, Pegasi, and hippogriffs were flying at the trees to see if anyone lived in the forest, the leaves covered the entire area, "Do you all see anything?" General Seaspray asked from afar, they all shook their heads, "There is no way a place that big can't have anyone living in there." Rainbow Dash said, "Come on, y'all, let's go explorin'." Applejack said, and she led the Young Six with her. They try to walk in and see the trees were extremely huge up close, "The trees up close actually scare me." Ocellus said, "I don't blame you, all of Equestria would get hit if one of these fell." Sandbar replied, "Look at how thick they are as well, this would probably leave a permanent hole in the land." Gallus said, "Yeah, not to mention Griffonstone and the Dragon Lands are right there, one of these falling would probably destroy the entire country." Smolder replied, "Yona believe Yakyakistan is safe from falling tree." Yona said, "I think Mount Aris is far away enough to avoid getting hit, too." Silverstream replied, "Well, if y'all ever have a fallen tree in yer country, make sure y'all help one another rebuild, alright? Let's get in there and see what we find." Applejack said, and they go in. Applejack leads them and they see extremely thick bushes, shrubs, and vines everywhere, everybody had trouble getting through, Sandbar broke through them, so did Yona, and Smolder burned them, "Help! I'm stuck!" Silverstream said, the three look back and saw her tangled in vines, unable to break through, Gallus and Ocellus were stuck as well, "A little help, guys?" Ocellus asked, and the other three try to pull them out, Applejack broke through with her physical strength and ran to them, she try to free them with her rope, but the vines fought back and pulled them back, Sandbar, Yona, and Smolder helped her, they got them out after a brief struggle and the vines returned back to normal, "Where are we?" Gallus asked, the others look around and see they could not see anything besides bushes, shrubs, vines, and trees, "Yeah, it all looks the same to me." Sandbar replied, Smolder, Ocellus, Gallus, and Silverstream fly up, past the trees. The four join the other creatures flying up there and see they can only see the leaves on the trees, "What's it like traveling in there?" Princess Ember asked, "Vines, bushes, and shrubs everywhere, every area looks the same." Smolder replied, shocking those flying around to try to see what was inside the forest, "This is a waste of time, we're not finding anything." Grampa Gruff said, "I agree, we can't find an opening anywhere." Gilda replied, "Then how are we supposed to explore? We can't see anything past the trees, and there's too many bushes and vines to enter by land." Rainbow Dash said, "Please, allow me." General Seaspray replied, and he flew down and changed to a seapony and swims through the water. General Seaspray swims in the water and tries to enter the new area, but he did not know where he was at, and the creatures who lived in the water of Volvox's land swam to the bottom of the water to hide from him. General Seaspray believes he was in Volvox's land, so he goes up to the surface, he looks and sees he was, the trees were to his left, he looks around and sees no one, he looks up to those in the sky and shakes his head, the world's natives were confused, but they all stop for the day and go back home to rest. Princess Luna tried to raise the moon but could not due to the trees blocking her view, she rolled her eyes and flew up, she raised the moon while in the sky, she sees the trees still blocked the moon, she growls a bit and moves the moon farther, making it brighter. Princess Celestia flew out and went to Princess Luna, "Luna, what are you doing?" Princess Celestia asked, "Those trees are blocking the moon, I can't rise it properly." Princess Luna replied, "Then why don't you just fly closer and raise it from there?" Princess Celestia asked, "I don't have the time for that, my nights are long and busy." Princess Luna replied, "Well, good luck, Luna, don't push yourself." Princess Celestia said, and she went back to sleep. Princess Luna enters the dream realm and works on fixing the nightmares of the ponies, she is distracted when she heard complaining, she noticed the people in the Crystal Empire were complaining about the moon being too bright, she growled and exited the dream realm. Princess Luna tries to adjust the moon so they would not complain, but they then complained it was too dark, Princess Luna growled as she tried to adjust the moon, she could not put it behind the trees of Volvox's kingdom because her magic would not reach it, "Luna, please, I think it would be best if you just put in the center of the sky." Princess Cadence said, "Yeah, I think so, too." Shining Armor said, and she did. Princess Luna went back to the dream realm and worked on the nightmares, but everybody in Equestria was complaining because the moon was very bright, and they could not sleep. Princess Luna growled angrily and flew out of the dream realm and began adjusting the moon, but whenever one area was happy, the other was not, Princess Luna got more and more irritated and had to keep adjusting for the rest of the night. Morning comes and Princess Celestia tries to raise the sun, but the trees of Volvox's land blocks it, and her magic could not reach it. Princess Celestia was a bit annoyed and she flew up to raise the sun, she did, but the trees blocked it out, Princess Celestia glared and simply raised the sun higher than usual so it will make all of the land bright. Princess Luna flew to the trees and was angry, "I DEMAND A WORD WITH YOU ALL!!" Princess Luna said with her Royal Canterlot Voice, there was no response, "DO NOT IGNORE ME!! I KNOW YOU ALL CAN HEAR ME!!" Princess Luna said, Volvox and the others did hear her, they just ignored her, but she could not see them due to the leaves and trees blocking the entire view, Princess Luna was seething with rage, she tries to remove a tree with her telekinesis, but it was way too heavy to pick up, she grunted as she tried to lift it, she stopped and panted. Princess Celestia tried and she could not lift it up either, the others decided to help, curious about what was in the forest. Volvox and the others hear them and they look, "What shall we do, emperor?" Tom asked, "Ignore them, we're a peaceful bunch, let's keep it that way." Volvox replied, "I believe it's worth checking what they're doing." Dommiel said, "I agree, we should see what they're doing." Argentavis said, "Alright, but don't get spotted." Volvox replied, "Okay, you all heard the emperor, flying bugs, go investigate." Arthropleura said, and the flying bugs fly up along with the dragons and birds, "Aren't you going, Arambourgiania?" Volvox asked, "I'm keeping the pterosaurs at bay for now, it might freak them out." Arambourgiania replied, Volvox agreed and he waited along with the others. The dragons, birds, and bugs fly up and see the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs trying to move one of the trees out, they were all struggling and grunting, "*pant* *pant* I can say for certain, one of these trees is heavier than the sun and the moon combined." Princess Celestia said, everybody was tired, they looked and watched the creatures, the unicorns and alicorns tried using telekinesis, the Pegasi and earth ponies tried pulling a tree out with rope, the dragons, griffons, and hippogriffs tried to pull it out at its roots, the changelings changed to bears, and they and the yaks were trying to pull out with rope and walking forward, "Okay, gang, I think we need another break." King Thorax said, the others agreed, "I have never thought a tree would be this hard to remove." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Yaks tired, yaks need rest." Prince Rutherford said, "How are we supposed to move these? We can't even move one." Rarity said, "Yeah, and there's hundreds of 'em." Applejack said, "My family and I are having trouble, too, Limestone and Maud are trying their best." Pinkie Pie replied, they look and saw Limestone Pie and Maud Pie trying to punch into the ground to remove the roots, "What the? The roots are as thick as the tree branches." Limestone Pie said, shocking everyone, "I am sorry, everycreature, but these are too thick for us to remove." Maud Pie said, they hear panting and saw Marble Pie was exhausted. Fluttershy arrives and a group of termites followed her, "This way, everybody, we need one of these removed." Fluttershy said, and they go onto the tree they were trying to remove, the termites try to bite through but hurt their own teeth, "Oh no, they hurt their own teeth, the termites can't bite through this." Fluttershy said, "What?! How are we supposed to remove this?!" Scootaloo asked, "Ah know, right, not even Big Mac can move one." Apple Bloom replied, they saw him trying and panting, "You alright, Big Mac?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Eeyup." Big Macintosh replied weakly, "Wait, I have an idea. Fluttershy, go get Discord." Rainbow Dash said, the others agreed, "Okay, but I can't make any promises." Fluttershy replied and she flew away, Discord came soon, "Let's see here, here goes nothing." Discord said, and he tries to use his magic on the tree they were trying to remove, his magic got deflected, "What the? The tree deflected my magic." Discord said, shocking everyone, "Wait, that means these trees are not normal." Spike said, "Yeah, that's true. Trees that deflect magic? We don't have such a thing." Starlight Glimmer replied, "Let's go home, everycreature, we'll try again another time." Princess Celestia said, and they all headed home. The dragons, birds, and bugs flew down, "They're gone now." Dommiel said, "Good, maybe now, we can be at peace." Volvox replied, "What were they trying to do?" Sarcosuchus asked, "Trying to remove one of the trees." Argentavis replied, the natives of Volvox's kingdom laugh, "I'll be underground now, if you all have anything to say, address it to Dommiel." Volvox said, and he went back under the ground. An hour passes and everycreature got on with their days, the trees still blocked out the sun, much to Princess Celestia's annoyance, the Maker noticed this and it casts its magic to make the leaves fall to the ground, the world's natives become surprised, the Maker then uses its magic to make the trees disappear into the ground, Princess Celestia smiled and let out several exclaims of relief. The trees go down completely and everybody sees the animals of Volvox's kingdom, they were shocked and surprised, "Whoa, they're huge." Twilight Sparkle said, "No kiddin', Twilight, they're even bigger than Dragon Lord Torch." Applejack replied, "I guess the Maker does want us to interact with the natives." Argentinosaurus said, the animals of Volvox's land groan and grumble, "So much for living here peacefully." Stegosaurus said, the other dinosaurs agreed. They hear flying and saw Princess Luna coming to them from the west, "I demand an apology!" Princess Luna said, they did not bother to listen to her, "Do not ignore me, because of your trees, I couldn't do my job on stopping nightmares, and the people could not sleep." Princess Luna said, they all tried to continue with their days, "I am speaking with a genuine complaint, and am a ruler of a land, and you all refuse to heed my words?! You self centered ruffians!" Princess Luna said, thunder appeared above her, Princess Luna was continuing to lose her temper, Argentinosaurus lifts his tail up and hits her out of the sky. Princess Luna screams as she falls and goes into the water, Argentinosaurus sighs as he and the others try to get on with their days. Princess Luna swims up to the surface and looked at the land, she had a scowl on her face, she flew out of the water and went back to them, "How dare you ignore royalty! I demand an apology this instant!" Princess Luna said, Tom walked to her, "Ma'am, can you please stop complaining? We are trying to get on with our days." Tom said, "You dare to refuse to listen to royalty?!" Princess Luna asked, "We're royalty, too." Tom replied, Princess Luna was surprised, "Why do you all not listen to the complaint of a princess?!" Princess Luna asked, "There you go right there, you're a princess, we're kings." Tom replied, Princess Luna was shocked, but she soon became angry. Princess Celestia flew to her touched Princess Luna's left shoulder with her front right hoof, "Sister, let's just go, we'll meet with them tomorrow." Princess Celestia said, Princess Luna calmed down and flew back with her sister, the people in Volvox's land went on with their days, everybody looked at them and saw there were several caves in the land as well, but they only saw the dinosaurs, the night was approaching and they all slept. Princess Luna raised the moon and was still angry about last night and earlier today, so she put the moon over Volvox's land and shined it brightly, the creatures there just turned around to not look at the moon, she was surprised by what she saw, she can tell they did not like it, but they did not complain, they just slept. Princess Luna ignored it and went on to the dream realm to get rid of the nightmares, she noticed the foals were having bad dreams of being eaten by the dinosaurs, she did not blame them, they were big, and looked menacing, she just zapped them away. Princess Luna does her duties while eating a grilled cheese sandwich, she finishes her duties and sighs in relief, tonight was an easy night for her, she smiles and watches the stars peacefully. The next day comes and the dinosaurs walked around while the other animals hid, Princess Celestia flew to them and landed on the ground, "I would like to meet the ruler." Princess Celestia said, and Tom, Argentinosaurus, Shantungosaurus, Eotriceratops, Pachycephalosaurus, and Stegosaurus walked to her, Princess Celestia became a bit annoyed, "I said I'd like to see the ruler." Princess Celestia said, "About that, actually, all of us are rulers." Argentinosaurus replied, Princess Celestia was surprised, "I swear I saw more animals here yesterday." Princess Celestia said, "Hey, wait a minute, where are the other rulers?" Stegosaurus asked, the others look around, "Come out, the rest of you." Tom said, and they all hear moving in the water, Elasmosaurus brought his head above the water, the world's natives were shocked by how big he was, they hear more moving and they saw Mosasaurus and Kronosaurus come up, Shonisaurus came up shortly afterwards, and Nothosaurus came up afterwards, "Is this everyone?" Princess Celestia asked, "No, one's missing." Eotriceratops replied, they hear flying and saw Arambourgiania fly to them, Princess Celestia was surprised and shocked by how big he was, he flew in one place in the sky, "Okay, now, introduce yourselves." Princess Celestia said, "I am Shantungosaurus, king of the ornithopods." Shantungosaurus replied, "My name is Stegosaurus, I am the king of the thyreophorans." Stegosaurus said, "I am Arambourgiania, the pterosaur king." Arambourgiania said, "My name is Pachycephalosaurus, king of the pachycephalosaurians." Pachycephalosaurus said, "I am Elasmosaurus, king of the plesiosaurs." Elasmosaurus said, "Mosasaurus, king of mosasaurs." Mosasaurus said, "Kronosaurus, king of pilosaurs." Kronosaurus said, "I am Eotriceratops, king of the ceratopsians." Eotriceratops said, "Shonisaurus, I am the king of the ichthyosaurs." Shonisaurus said, "Nothosaurus, king of the nothosaurs." Nothosaurus said, "My name is Argentinosaurus, I am the sauropod king." Argentinosaurus said, "Tom, king of the theropods, I'm a spinosaurus, and the supreme ruler of the dinosaurs, all of these rulers answer to me." Tom said, "You all are called dinosaurs?" Princess Celestia asked, they nod, "I see, keep in mind your land has merged with my country, so do not cause any trouble." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away. The dinosaurs get on with their days and the Mane Six try going to their country, "Guys, we got visitors." a male tyrannosaurus said, and they look at them, "What is it?" Tom asked, "We thought we could just come and say hi." Twilight Sparkle replied, "That's it? That's why you all are here?" a female velociraptor asked, "Uh, actually, I'm here to befriend all of the animals in this country." Fluttershy replied, "Then I suggest you leave, there are no animals in this land." Stegosaurus said, "Then, what about those bugs there?" Rainbow Dash asked, the other five ponies look and see the flying bugs, they were surprised by how big some of them were. The attention of the dinosaurs were caught by the wings Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy had, "What? Is something wrong?" Rarity asked, "Are those three fliers?" a male brachiosaurus asked, "Well, I have wings because I'm a princess, I didn't have any wings before then." Twilight Sparkle replied, the dinosaurs look at them disapprovingly, "What? What's wrong with that, y'all?" Applejack asked, "Walkers and fliers shouldn't be friends." Arambourgiania replied, shocking the Mane Six, "Excuse me?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "What?" Tom asked, "What do you mean they shouldn't be friends?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Don't they live in the sky?" Argentinosaurus asked, "Uh, yeah, what is wrong with that?" Rainbow Dash asked, "See, there you go, you two should only be friends with others who live in the sky, and not with those who live on land or in the sea." Tom replied, shocking the Mane Six, "Hey, but what about you guys?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Yes, we do live in all three environments, but we still mostly only interact with those who live on land, the mosasaurs, pilosaurs, ichthyosaurs, nothosaurs, and plesiosaurs only interact with those in the water, while the pterosaurs only interact with those who fly in the sky." Tom replied, shocking the Mane Six, "Where would I be?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Land, since you said you originally didn't have wings, the fliers will not welcome you." Tom replied, "Come on, y'all, let's just go." Applejack said, and they left. The creatures in Volvox's land go on with their days peacefully, the herbivores ate the plants and leaves on the ground from the trees, while the carnivores ate the bugs and fish, while the omnivores were everywhere, they were all living peacefully. Dommiel came out from under the ground, "Everyone, gather around." Dommiel said, and the dinosaurs went to him, but not just them, the dragons, birds, bugs, cats, dogs, rhinoceroses, elephants, bears, pigs, snakes, lizards, and sloths went to him. Some of the world's natives screamed in shock at how big they were, Princess Celestia flew to them, "I said to meet all of the rulers at once." Princess Celestia said sternly, "Well, you were only in this area, you have to travel out to meet the rest." Tom replied, Princess Celestia glared at them, "Fine, introduce yourselves, but I'd like to meet them all this time." Princess Celestia said, "I am Anancus, the elephant king." Anancus said, the world's natives were surprised by how big his tusks were, "My name is Argentavis, the king of birds." Argentavis said, everybody was shocked by how big the birds were, "My name is Smilodon, I am the king of cats." Smilodon said, Rarity was shocked by what the cats looked like, "I am Amphicyon, the dog king." Amphicyon said, Applejack, Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom, and Granny Smith were surprised, "My name is Elasmotherium, the rhinoceros king." Elasmotherium said, the yaks were interested in meeting the rhinoceroses, "I am Titanoboa, the king of snakes." Titanoboa said, Twilight Sparkle was extremely scared of him, "I am Entelodont, the pig king." Entelodont said, Applejack was surprised and scared of him, "My name is Megalania, king of the lizards." Megalania said, "I am Megatherium, the king of the sloths." Megatherium said, everybody was surprised by how big he was, "My name is Arctodus, I am the bear king." Arctodus said, Fluttershy was scared of him, "Hey, wait, where are the apes?" a female microraptor asked, the others look around and they hear them walking, everybody saw them come, they were surprised by how big they were, "I am Gigantopithecus, the ape king." Gigantopithecus said, Princess Celestia was surprised by how big they were, they see Arthropleura come forward, scaring the world's natives, "I am Arthropleura, the bug king, I have bugs on the land, on the sea, in the sea, they used to be in the trees, and in the sky, they answer to me." Arthropleura said, "Is that everyone?" Princess Celestia asked, "No, there's still six more." Shantungosaurus replied, "Take me to them." Princess Celestia said, she hears hopping to her right and looks, she saw frogs, Fluttershy was happy to see them, "I am Beelzebufo, the frog king." Beelzebufo said, "Alright, this way, the other five rulers live in the water." Tom said, and he takes Princess Celestia to the east. Princess Celestia walks with them and saw the alligators and crocodiles, Pinkie Pie was scared by how big they were, "Who is this?" Sarcosuchus asked, "I am the ruler of the country your land merged with." Princess Celestia replied, "Oh, well, in that case, I am Sarcosuchus, the crocodile king." Sarcosuchus said, "I am Deinosuchus, the alligator king." Deinosuchus said, a turtle comes up to the surface, Rainbow Dash was curious about it, "I am Archelon, the turtle king." Archelon said, a squid comes up, everybody was shocked by how big it was, "My name is Cameroceras, I am the squid king." Cameroceras said, a shark comes up to the surface, the hippogriffs scream in terror at how big it was, "I am Megalodon, the shark king." Megalodon said, "Is that all?" Deinosuchus asked, "Well, yes." Princess Celestia replied, "Then begone, those who walk on land and fly in the sky are not welcome into the sea." Sarcosuchus said, Princess Celestia was shocked, but she walked away with Tom. Princess Celestia walks to Dommiel, "Are there anymore rulers?" Princess Celestia asked, "Nope, they were the last ones." Dommiel replied, "Then who are you?" Princess Celestia asked, "My name is Dommiel, I am the dragon king." Dommiel replied, the dragons native to the world become surprised and fly to him, "Your world has dragons, too?" Princess Ember asked, "Plenty." Dommiel replied, "Let's see the rest." Dragon Lord Torch said, and they hear moving, they see dragons flying in the sky, they were wyverns, wingless dragons walk out of the caves, and serpentine dragons come up to the surface, out of the water, the dragons were surprised, they were a lot bigger than the dragons in the Dragon Lands, "So, you guys don't have a ruler that rules over the others?" Spike asked, "Not exactly, but I am the one they come to if they have complaints, so I guess the ruler would be me." Dommiel replied, "What the? What are you doing over there, Spike? Get back here." Twilight Sparkle said, Spike groaned and flew back to her, "So, this is the country, I am going to warn you all now to behave yourselves, if you cause trouble in my country, there will be severe consequences." Princess Celestia said, and she flew back to Canterlot, while the dragons went back to the Dragon Lands, "Alright then, as I was saying earlier, stay in the country, we will continue things as we did back at home, and if you all feel like a crime was committed, come to me, that is all." Dommiel said, and the natives of Volvox's land continue with their days. Dommiel goes under the ground and saw Volvox was laying down in the hellfire filled area, "These people look like curious ones, Volvox." Dommiel said, "I noticed, let's just continue with our ways of living, I hope it won't cause any problems." Volvox replied, "Shall we attack the other countries, emperor?" Dommiel asked, "No, we should take that white horse's words seriously, she doesn't sound like she's bluffing." Volvox replied, "Alright then, I'll keep an eye on the others." Dommiel said, "I'll watch as well, thanks for your help, Dommiel." Volvox replied, and Dommiel went back up to the surface. The next day comes and it was a peaceful day until a male velociraptor was brought before Tom by Titanoboa, "Tom, I found one of your people trying to steal the eggs of one of my females." Titanoboa said, "Why are you stealing from one of the people?" Tom asked, "It looks valuable to keep." the velociraptor said with a raspy voice, Tom glared at him, "What were you planning to do with the eggs?" Tom asked, "I thought it would be a better source of food than bugs." the velociraptor replied, "Stealing is stealing." Tom said, the velociraptor became shocked, "Wait, no." the velociraptor said, "You are guilty, carry out his sentence, carnivores." Tom said, and four of the carnivorous dinosaurs eat him alive while he screams in pain. The ponies and changelings scream in horror while Twilight Sparkle flew into their land, "What are you guys doing?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Punishing a criminal." Tom replied, "What? But you guys just ate him!" Twilight Sparkle said, "That is how our land works, every crime is punishable by death." Stegosaurus replied, the world's natives were shocked while the dragons were surprised, "Whoa." Princess Ember said with bewilderment, "How could you?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It is our way, you commit a crime in our land, you die, the type of crime committed does not matter." a female tyrannosaurus replied, Twilight Sparkle was horrified. Princess Celestia flew into the land and flew in front of Dommiel's face while flapping her wings to stay in the air, "No, I am not going to have such rules around my land, not all crimes are equal." Princess Celestia said, "Uh, this law has been enforced ever since the adults here were kids, including myself." Dommiel replied, "Well, maybe it's time for a change, I do not appreciate every crime being punished with death, I highly disapprove." Princess Celestia said, "What will happen if we don't change it?" Dommiel asked, "Yaks declare war!" Prince Rutherford replied, the other yaks were behind him and kicking dirt behind themselves with their feet, "Good luck fighting all of us." Elasmotherium said, "We will declare war as well." King Thorax said, the changelings changed to various creatures native to their world, "You would declare war on us for punishing a criminal?" Argentinosaurus asked, "I understand the need to punish criminals, but death for every crime is going too far." Princess Celestia replied, "Well, some of us need to be fed, a lot of us can only digest meat." Tom said, the other carnivores nodded, the world's natives were surprised, but Fluttershy exclaimed out of shock and became extremely scared the dinosaurs will come to her cottage and eat her animals, "What about the rest of you?" Princess Celestia asked, "Some of us can only digest plants." Gigantopithecus replied, "And the rest can digest both, meat and plants, the only drink we have here is water." Dommiel said, "I see, so you all only have basic diets, we'll be watching you guys, you are in our world, so our rules." Princess Celestia said, "So much for being completely neutral." a female giganotosaurus said, the natives of Volvox's land nodded, "Wait, neutral?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yeah, we were originally planning to be completely neutral with all territories." Tom replied, "Well, you won't, if we dislike something of your land, we will let you all know." Princess Celestia said, and she and Twilight Sparkle left, the creatures in Volvox's land exhale and sigh silently, they decide to go on with their days. The next day comes and everything was peaceful until Smilodon walked to the dinosaurs with a dead American lion on his back, he lays it down, "One of my best hunters got killed in a hunt yesterday, the bugs stung and bit him, I'm giving his body to you all as food." Smilodon said, "Thanks, Smilodon, we really appreciate the offer." Tom replied, and the carnivores who lived on the land ate the American lion. The day goes on and everyone was bored, they hear the elephants sounding off their trunks in excitement, the animals of Volvox's land goes there, Volvox came out of the ground to watch as well. The creatures saw two mastodons fighting, they were wrestling with one another while the creatures watching cheered on. The world's natives hear them and look at them, the Pegasi, dragons, griffons, changelings, and hippogriffs flew up to see what was going on, they see the fight and the dragons and griffons become excited and watch, some of the Pegasi were excited to watch as well, while the other Pegasi, changelings, and hippogriffs were shocked to see what was going on. The two mastodons fight and the creatures in Volvox's land cheer while Volvox just sits on his hind legs and watches, he smiled with his center head, the dragons and griffons cheer while they watched, they also hear cheering far away and they saw yaks on mountains and watching them, they were cheering and stomping their hooves, the creatures in Volvox's land realize they were enjoying it, they realize they had the potential to make allies. The two mastodons keep wrestling and try to attack one another with their tusks, the mastodon to the left wraps his trunk around the other mastodon and snaps its neck, the yaks, griffons, and dragons become shocked, the mastodon falls over dead while the natives in Volvox's land cheer, "Good work, you still got it after all, okay carnivores, you all can eat this one." Anancus said, and they do, Volvox walks back to where he stayed under the ground, "Wait, who is that?" Princess Ember asked, the dragons see him and watch him walk back, the ground bursts open and he goes into it, the dragons were surprised. The creatures of Volvox's land get on with their days and they see the Mane Six, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike looking at them with shock, "What were you guys thinking?!" Starlight Glimmer asked, "What? It's what we do for fun." Pachycephalosaurus replied, "For fun?! That creature just died!" Rarity said angrily, "He knew what he was in for, they volunteer willingly, and they're ready to die anytime." Tom replied, shocking the ponies, "No! Fighting to the death is not fun!" Pinkie Pie said angrily, "What's fun to you, then?" Entelodont asked, "Parties!" Pinkie Pie replied happily, the creatures in Volvox's land were confused, "Uh, what's a party?" Amphicyon asked, Pinkie Pie gasped, "You guys don't know what a party is?" Pinkie Pie asked, the creatures in Volvox's land shake their heads, "I am also noticing you all don't wear clothes, some fashion would be nice in this country." Rarity said, "Uh, fashion?" Stegosaurus asked, Rarity was bewildered, "How about air shows, like the Wonderbolts?" Rainbow Dash asked, "We fly to survive, survey, and hunt, not entertain." Argentavis replied, "Plus, we fight in the air, too, it's fun, you should try it." Arambourgiania said, "Guys, fighting to the death is not cool." Rainbow Dash replied, the creatures in Volvox's land were confused, "Uh, we don't understand how 'cool' is used in that sentence." a male quetzalcoatlus said, "What does 'cool' mean to you guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Basically, the weather or wind is a bit cold." Tom replied, "Oh, that's what it means to you guys, the word 'cool' also means awesome to us." Rainbow Dash said, "Oh." the creatures said, "Okay, we know what that means." Tom said, Rainbow Dash smiled, "You guys can also try reading for fun." Twilight Sparkle said, the creatures became confused, "Um, reading?" a male allosaurus asked, much to Twilight Sparkle's surprise, "Do you guys know what a book is?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the creatures shake their heads, "How about an animal shelter?" Fluttershy asked, the creatures shake their heads, "Just look at my cottage, it's over there." Fluttershy said as she flew up and pointed her front left hoof there, they look and see it, the carnivores become happy at seeing it, believing they have found a new eating spot, "We also grow food, y'all." Applejack said, "We have enough food here to feed us all." a female woolly mammoth replied, "Well, you guys should try some new things, come out of your country and to ours, we'd be honored to have you all." Twilight Sparkle said, and they leave, the creatures of Volvox's land had no intention of meeting the other countries, and they go on with their days just walking around, eating plants, fish, and bugs, drinking water, and tending to their young until the day ended. The next day comes and nothing happened until afternoon, several Tiktaalik came to the land, out of the water, Amphicyon growls and barks at them, he and the other dogs chase them around the surface and the seven Tiktaalik run away. The dogs chase them around the surface and three of them go into the water, Megalodon and Mosasaurus lead the sharks and mosasaurs to them and jump out of the water, they try to eat the dogs but they move back. Arambourgiania and Argentavis see the sharks and mosasaurs were high up in the air, it causes them to order the pterosaurs and birds to attack them, they attack them, which makes Elasmosaurus and Kronosaurus lead the plesiosaurs and pilosaurs to join in on the fight. The other natives in the land hear the ruckus and go over to check it out, they go to them and try to break it up, but it causes them to get attacked by the others, and every creature in the land was soon fighting, "Stop it! That's enough." Twilight Sparkle said as she, the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs broke them up, "Land dwelling scum, you have some nerve coming into our water." Megalodon said, "I can say the same about you water dwelling vermin coming onto our land." Amphicyon replied, "Not to mention, you water dwelling vermin entered our skies." Argentavis said, "And you sky dwelling garbage came to our land." Megalania replied, the creatures growled at one another, they were divided into three factions, the creatures who lived on land, the creatures who lived in the sea, and the creatures who flew in the sky, "Halt, let's find out what started it, first." Arthropleura said, "Seven of those Tiktaalik vermin came onto our land." Amphicyon replied, Sarcosuchus glared and went into the water, he comes out with seven of them, "Is this them?" Sarcosuchus asked, Amphyicyon sniffs them and nods, "Explain yourselves." Arctodus said, "We were just curious on what the land looked like." a male Tiktaalik replied, "If you're curious, then put your head up, over the surface, and look, you know better than associate yourself with land dwelling scum." Deinosuchus said, "Yeah, don't come here, stay in the water with the rest of those vermin." Tom replied, "Stay out of our skies, vermin." Argentavis said, "And stay out of our water, you sky dwelling garbage." Archelon replied, "Enough." Princess Celestia said as she walked to them, "I will not have such hatred and animosity spread throughout my land depending on where one lives, you all can learn a thing or two about accepting differences." Princess Celestia said, "We already get along with one another." Eotriceratops replied, "I mean as in all areas, you all get along, despite being different creatures, but you all dislike those who do not live in the same type of environment as yourselves." Princess Celestia said, "What's wrong with that?" Elasmotherium asked, shocking the world's natives, "What do you mean what's with that?! There's a lot of things wrong about that!" Princess Cadence replied angrily, "Like what?" Cameroceras asked, "Do we really have to spell it out?" Queen Novo asked, "Yeah, how do you guys not see the problem?" Princess Skystar asked, "I can teach you guys some things, for a few bits." Grampa Gruff said, the creatures of Volvox's land were confused about what a bit was, but ignored it, "When did this rule about the land, sea, and sky separation come into place, Dommiel?" Princess Celestia asked, "It was intact even when the adults here, including myself, were little kids." Dommiel replied, "Well, it's time you all changed that as well, you all need to learn to live together in harmony." Princess Celestia said, and she left along with the world's natives, the creatures in Volvox's land just get on with their days after reluctantly sparing the seven Taktaaliks. Volvox was in the underworld and watching his land with his magic, he was not liking the world's natives, he thought his kingdom was perfect. Dommiel entered the underworld and walked to him, "What shall I do, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "Manage the land, and I apologize in advance if you receive any harsh words from the rulers." Volvox replied, "I don't understand why they want to change it, the kingdom's perfect." Dommiel said, "I agree, and I wanted us to be neutral, but they just had to butt in." Volvox replied, "I know, right, this is our land they're in, and we have to obey their rules." Dommiel said, "They also don't seem to respect our ways, those horses can learn a thing or two." Volvox replied, "I know, right, wanting us to be friends, we're already friends with one another, and we're doing what we have to do in order to survive, plus, I don't see anyone complaining about your rule." Dommiel said, "It's that stupid Maker's fault, it thinks I need to change my kingdom, it does not listen to the thoughts and opinions of you guys." Volvox replied, "Exactly, and all of us like your rule." Dommiel said, "Well, I suppose there's nothing to do, I'm aware some of them are going to try to declare war if we don't change our ways, and one more thing, Dommiel, watch out for those shapeshifters, they might be able to disguise themselves as one of us." Volvox said, "Yeah, I know, well, back to the surface." Dommiel replied, and he goes up. Dommiel goes up and he saw General Seaspray in the country, he was flying, he flew to the water, "What are you doing here?" Deinosuchus asked, "I'm just here to ask a question." General Seaspray replied, "What is it?" Sarcosuchus asked, "Why didn't I see any of you when I first swam here?" General Seaspray asked, "We hid by going deeper into the water." Deinosuchus replied, "Okay, that's all." General Seaspray said, "Good, now leave." Deinosuchus replied, and General Seaspray flew away. A few hours pass and they hear a commotion in Ponyville, "Snakes! Snakes!" Twilight Sparkle said as she shrieked and backed away from them, the creatures in Volvox's land had an idea, "Hey, miss, you in the purple, someone has agreed with your ways." Tom said, Twilight Sparkle realized she was being called over and flew to them, "Really?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, come on, get on my tail, I'll put you in their territory." Argentinosaurus replied, "Thank you, that is really nice of you." Twilight Sparkle said, and she gets on his tail and he puts her in the territory. Twilight Sparkle walks forward and does not see anyone, Titanoboa slithers to in front of her and his snakes surround her. Twilight Sparkle became extremely scared, there was many forty two feet long snakes around her, she screams at the top of her lungs and runs away. Eqeustria hears her screaming and Princess Celestia walked onto her castle's balcony, "Twilight?" Princess Celestia asked with worry, they saw her run out of Volvox's land while screaming her lungs out, Night Light and Twilight Velvet run to her and hug her while Twilight Sparkle panted heavily with fear, "What's wrong, dear?" Twilight Velvet asked, they hear slithering and saw Titanoboa and his snakes, "Oh, that's it, you always were scared of snakes ever since you were a filly." Night Light said, Titanoboa slithers away and his snakes follow him while Twilight Sparkle was still scared, "There, there, Twilight, they're gone now." Twilight Velvet said, and Twilight Sparkle looked back, she looked and saw the creatures in Volvox's land just went on with their days, she let it go because she thought them scaring her was unintentional, even though it was, she let it go and flew back to her castle, the natives of Volvox's land snicker. A few hours pass and everybody hears grunting, they look and see the changelings were trying something, Ocellus was among them, "Come on, gang, on three, one, two, three." King Thorax said, and they try to change into the dinosaurs, but several of them scream in pain and they all change back, they pant and sweat, they realize they could not change into the dinosaurs, since they were too big, and they were too tired to stand up. The changelings get back up after twenty minutes and try to change into some of the smaller creatures in Volvox's land, they were successful, the biggest animal they could change into were the apes, they finish after sometime and go back home. The next day comes and they all go on with their days, Twilight Sparkle flew to Volvox's land, "Okay, everycreature, let's start by trying to make friends with one another." Twilight Sparkle said, "But we're already friends with one another." Gigantopithecus replied, "Well, that's wonderful, I was hoping you all could learn to bond even more." Twilight Sparkle said, "Us walkers already work together to survive." Tom replied, "The fliers already fly in packs to help one another find food." Argentavis said, "And the swimmers swim together in peace." Beelzebufo said, and the creatures who lived on land placed their heads together and smiled, so did the flying creatures, and the creatures who lived in the water. Twilight Sparkle grumbled and placed her front hooves on her face and moved them down, she then stood on all fours, "That is not what I meant!" Twilight Sparkle said in a very annoyed tone, the creatures of Volvox's land stop smiling and looked at her while confused, Twilight Sparkle calmed down, "What I mean is for you all to befriend the creatures who live in different environments from you guys, you all on land should befriend the ones who fly and swim, the flying creatures befriend those who live on land and in the sea, and the swimming creatures bond with those who fly and walk on the land." Twilight Sparkle said, "And why should we do that?" Stegosaurus asked, "Because I noticed tensions between the three are very high, having friends would help." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Ma'am, there are several flaws in your plan." Tom said, "Like what?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "First of all, all of us on land here can't fly, we can't breathe underwater, either." Tom replied, "Then you can have the fliers go swim those in the sea." Twilight Sparkle said, "We can't breathe underwater, either." a male sordes replied, "Then have the swimmers come up to land." Twilight Sparkle said, "Almost all of us cannot breathe out of the water." Sarcosuchus replied, "Ugh!" Twilight Sparkle said as she slapped her own forehead with her front left hoof, "See? Only me, Dommiel, and Arthropleura have can have our kind live in all three areas, most of them are only one, and a few of them have two." Tom said, "Wait, speaking of Dommiel, where is he?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Dommiel flies out of the water, he lands in front of her, "What is it?" Dommiel asked, "Tell the dragons to come out as well." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Guys, over here." Dommiel said loudly, the wyverns fly down, the wingless dragons walked on all fours, they came out of the caves, and the serpentine dragons came out of the water, "The rest of the creatures will be coming here to unify you guys soon, we have already labeled who's going to deal with who." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah? Good luck getting through to the swimmers." Smilodon replied, "Don't worry, we have a plan for that." Twilight Sparkle said, "Which one are you doing?" a male tyrannosaurus asked, "Land, you guys, and if possible, I'll be doing the fliers, too." Twilight Sparkle replied, "You are not welcome among our kind." a male pterodactyl said, shocking Twilight Sparkle, "What? Why not?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "You said it yourself, you got wings when you became a princess, but you didn't have them before that, therefore, you are not a true flier, and thus, not welcome among us." a female microraptor replied, Twilight Sparkle was shocked, "Why are you doing this for anyway?" Eotriceratops asked, "Because you guys are violent and aggressive to those who don't live in the same environments as you guys." Twilight Sparkle replied, "We're fine being separated." a female tyrannosaurus said, the creatures in Volvox's land agree with her, "We're not, all of that ruckus yesterday really disturbed us, we'd like for you to live in harmony like the rest of us." Twilight Sparkle replied, "That only happens every once in a while." a male dragon in the water said, "Once in a while isn't enough, we want it to never happen." Twilight Sparkle replied, the creatures in Volvox's land were surprised and realized what they wanted to do, "What do you say, Dommiel?" Tom asked, "If it prevents us from making enemies, let's try it." Dommiel replied, "Thank you, the rest will be here shortly." Twilight Sparkle said, and they wait. Ten minutes pass and the other creatures arrive, Twilight Sparkle had the unicorns, earth ponies, alicorns, and yaks go to the creatures who lived on land, they were also the biggest group, while the Pegasi, dragons, and griffons went to the creatures who flew in the sky, the hippogriffs went to the creatures in the sea, and the changelings went to all three. The world's natives learn that the creatures did not have a culture or any customs or traditions, they just did what they had to do in order to survive, "This is no fun!" Pinkie Pie said, "Ah know how ya feel, Pinkie, but they ain't civilized like us, they're like wild animals." Applejack replied, Pinkie Pie was still disappointed, "Where'd ya go, Apple Bloom?" Applejack asked as she looked around. Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle went to the sauropods, "Excuse me, mister." Apple Bloom said, and Argentinosaurus looked at them, "Can we stand on your head?" Scootaloo asked, "What the? A flier?" Argentinosaurus asked, "Yeah, but my wings are defective, I can't fly at all." Scootaloo replied, "Then you are not welcome in any of the environments." Argentinosaurus said, Scootaloo was shocked, "Wait, then what happens to that person?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Eaten alive by the carnivores." Argentinosaurus replied, Scootaloo was scared, "Well, we were bored, and wondered if we go on you for a ride." Apple Bloom said, "Get on my tail." Argentinosaurus replied, the three fillies were excited and got on, Argentinosaurus turned around and dropped the three in the water, south of their land, they screamed as they fell into the water. Rainbow Dash flew to them and got them out, she dried them as well with the leaves on the ground, Fluttershy went over to them, "Oh, that wasn't very nice of him, let's get you three dried up." Fluttershy said, and she helps, "I guess you three were lucky, at least he didn't put you guys over there." Rainbow Dash said as she looked to the east, the Cutie Mark Crusaders look and see the animals in the water, the three became scared at seeing them and decided to stay with the other ponies for the time. Ocellus and Silverstream were in the water and swam to the marine animals, more changelings and the hippogriffs were with them, "Begone, you are not welcome here." Mosasaurus said, "But we can swim in the water, too." Ocellus replied, "You are not a true swimmer, you all walk on land." Kronosaurus said, "Actually, her kind and my kind also fly in our regular forms." Silverstream replied, "Do you all live on the land or in the trees?" Shonisaurus asked, "Actually, my kind originally lived on a mountain." Silverstream replied, "And my kind lives in a cave." Ocellus said, "So you all are land dwelling scum and sky dwelling garbage, get out of our water." Megalodon said, "I find your manners to be lacking." General Seaspray said, "Well, you are in our territory." Cameroceras replied, "Go back to the surface before we eat you all as food." a male liopleurodon said, the changelings and hippogriffs become scared and go back up to the surface. The Pegasi, griffons, dragons, and changelings learn about how the birds, flying dragons, and pterosaurs live, but they just did what they had to in order to survive, everything was the same, they all did the same thing, there was no diversity on how they lived, "Why are those deer-like creatures flying with us?" Argentavis asked, "Because we can technically live anywhere." King Thorax replied, "Go back to living with your fellow land dwelling scum." Arambourgiania said, offending the changelings, the other creatures were offended as well, "Why are the rest of you getting offended?" a male flying dragon from Volvox's land asked, "Those are our friends!" Princess Ember replied, "I still don't understand why you fliers are friends with those walkers." a female bird said, "Actually, dragons usually don't do friends." Smolder replied, "You mean, no friends at all?" a female flying dragon from Volvox's land asked, the dragons native to the world nod, "Griffons usually don't do friends, either." Gallus said, "Yeah, we only be your friend if you have money." Gilda said, "Uh, what's money?" Dommiel asked, the world's natives were surprised, "You guys don't know what money is?" Spike asked, "We don't have that in our land, so no." Arambourgiania replied, the world's natives were surprised, "So, you guys don't have to buy or sell anything to make a living." Rainbow Dash said, "We don't know what that is, but no, we only need to eat, drink, and hunt to survive." a female quetzalcoatlus replied, "Well, not all of us need to hunt, some of us live by eating plants and leaves." a female microraptor said, surprising them, "Maybe you all should come to my cottage, I think you all can learn a thing or two about friendship there." Fluttershy said, the flying creatures were confused, "Think about it, guys, you might make some new friends there as well." Rainbow Dash said, and they flew away. The unicorns, alicorns, earth ponies, yaks, and changelings walk together to learn about the creatures who lived on the land, Flurry Heart stayed behind because the creatures in the land scared her. The land creatures did not have any differences in their way of living besides their diet and how they kill their prey, "Well, that's everything, there's literally nothing left to learn about us." a male triceratops said, "But this is so boring." Pinkie Pie replied, "How so?" Eotriceratops asked, "You all live the same way, there is no cultural difference between you creatures." Pinkie Pie replied, "Uh, cultural?" Entelodont asked, surprising the world's natives, "Twilight, I think this may be an underdeveloped country, I heard in the sky that these creatures don't have any currency, either." Princess Celestia said, Twilight Sparkle took note of it in her head, "What do you all do for fun?" Princess Luna asked, "We told you, fight to the death." Arctodus replied, "You guys don't play games?" Shining Armor asked, "The herbivores see who can eat the most plants in one meal, the carnivores see who can hunt and kill the most bugs and fish, and the omnivores can do either one." Megalania replied, "Yak don't see music." Prince Rutherford said, "We don't know what that is." Megatherium replied, everybody was scared of him due to his height, he was twenty feet tall when he stood on his hind legs, "Yona want know what horn animal do." Yona said, "We're the same, we work together to eat, drink, and survive." Elasmotherium replied, "Yeah, we don't really have much time for entertainment, we all work together to defend our land from those swimmers and fliers." Anancus said, "See, that's the thing, you guys need to get along with them." Princess Cadence replied, "About that, actually, we're mostly neutral with them, but we get along with the fliers better than we do with the swimmers, conflict between those who fly in the sky and those who swim in the sea is very intense." Tom said, "Well, you all need to work with that, waking up to hear you all fighting would be very unpleasant for me." Princess Celestia replied, "Well, that's everything I needed to know, we'll be going now." Twilight Sparkle said, and the world's natives leave. All of the world's natives gather together south of Volvox's land, "We couldn't get much, how about you guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "They told the changelings to get out of their skies." Gallus replied, "They forced us out of the water, too." Ocellus said, "Any information?" Princess Celestia asked, "The fliers just eat, drink, hunt, and survive." Gabby replied, "The swimmers didn't tell us anything, they told us we're not true swimmers, and we had to leave because they threatened to eat us as food." Terramar said, Silverstream grunted and groaned while moving her head around and pulling on her own ears with her talons, "This is so frustrating!" Silverstream said, "Hold on, I have an idea." Queen Novo replied, and she flew to Mount Aris. Queen Novo commands the whales to go to Volvox's land and gather information on those who swim in the water, "What do we have here?" Kronosaurus asked as he saw the whales coming, they spoke in their own language, and the creatures in Volvox's land understood them, they reported back to Queen Novo, she went back to them, "It's the same as the others, they eat, drink, hunt, and survive." Queen Novo said, "So, in other words, they have no culture." Starlight Glimmer replied, "Yeah, it seems to be that way." Sunburst said, "Got a problem with that?" Tom asked them from behind, it startled them and they look at him, "Yes, we want you all to be friends." Silverstream replied, "We are friends." Tom said, "No, have friendship spread on land and sky and sea." Silverstream replied, "It's not that simple." Tom said, "I'll admit, this is actually a lot harder than I expected." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Come on, maybe you all will learn better at my cottage." Fluttershy said, and she flew, Tom had a few theropods come with him, and they follow her, her five friends also went with her. The Mane Six take Tom and his theropods to Fluttershy's cottage, Twilight Sparkle looked up and made sure the other creatures were watching, they arrive at the cottage, and see Fluttershy's animals, they look and see she had many different types of animals, "See, I have creatures who walk, fly, and swim, and we all live together." Fluttershy said, "What is it that brings them here?" a female allosaurus asked, "Well, I take care of them and nurse them back to health." Fluttershy replied, the theropods had something else on their mind, "Hey, you guys don't seem to be listening." Pinkie Pie said, "Sorry, we gave into our instincts for a second there." Tom replied, "Honestly, y'all, y'all seem to give into yer instincts all the time." Applejack said, Fluttershy introduced her other animals, "These are my animals, plenty to see, and plenty to choose to have as a pet." Fluttershy said, "Actually, we're choosing which one to eat." Tom replied, Fluttershy became horrified while Pinkie Pie screamed with shock, the other four gathered around, "Don't you dare!" Rarity said angrily, "Seriously, guys, not cool." Rainbow Dash said, "That is our instinct, we are carnivores." Tom replied, the other theropods nod, "Well, restrain it, and don't you dare eat any of her pets, Fluttershy works long and hard to take care of them, come on now, let's go to my place." Twilight Sparkle said, and she goes to her castle with the dinosaurs following her, the other four went home, only Fluttershy was there, she was now scared. The dinosaurs see Twilight Sparkle's castle was made out of gems, they have never seen anything like it, Twilight Sparkle came out with several books, "Okay now, these are what we call books, they have many functions, keeping records, recording history, reading for fun, education, and so on, we also have picture books, I'll show you all one." Twilight Sparkle said, and she uses her telekinesis to make one float, the dinosaurs watched her horn. Twilight Sparkle opened one book and it had words in it, the dinosaurs look at it and they could not read, "Uh, what are these symbols?" Tom asked, "They're called letters." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Letter?" a female velociraptor asked, "You know, the most basic thing for a written language." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Written?" a male giganotosaurus asked, Twilight Sparkle was surprised, but she noticed how small their arms were in proportion to the rest of their bodies, so they probably could not write with them, and she can tell their teeth would break any written utensil with the slightest force, "Hey, wait a minute." a male chilesaurus said, he smells the book, "This smells like plants." the male chilesaurus said, "Well, the pages are made out of plants and leaves." Twilight Sparkle replied, "What a waste of food." a female tyrannosaurus said, the other dinosaurs agreed, Twilight Sparkle was bewildered, "Guys, plants and meat can be used for more things than just eating." Twilight Sparkle said, "Like what?" Tom asked, "Plants can be used as books as I have, they can also be used to cure sicknesses and diseases, and make potions, while meat can be used to lure dangerous animals away and set traps." Twilight Sparkle replied, the dinosaurs were surprised, but they decided they have seen enough, "Well, I guess we saw what we needed to see." Tom said, and they go back to their country. Dusk begins to approach and the clouds in the sky begin moving to Volvox's land on its own, the world's natives look on with surprise, the clouds gather into a circle and they spin counterclockwise, with a hole in the clouds that revealed the sky, "I would like to see the ruler." the Maker said, the world's natives were surprised when they heard the voice, it was a male's voice and a female's voice speaking together, Dommiel flew out of the sky and went to the Maker, "Yes?" Dommiel asked while smirking, "The supreme ruler! Not the second-in-command!" the Maker replied angrily, the world's natives become shocked, "Second-in-command?!" Princess Cadence asked, the ground in Volvox's land bursts open and Volvox comes out, the world's natives were extremely shocked, Volvox was three thousand feet tall, he was taller than every creature in the land, he was three hundred feet long, and three hundred fifty feet wide, along with having three heads. Volvox walks forward while the creatures on the land step to the sides to let him through, "What?" Volvox asked with his center head, his deep and booming voice scared the world's natives, "Are you still hiding under the ground?" the Maker asked, "Why should I interfere with how my people live?" Volvox asked, the natives of his land agree, "What about you natives, what do you all have to say about his rule?" the Maker asked, "We like his rule." Elasmosaurus replied, the other creatures agree, "Fine." the Maker said, and it makes big moose appear in the land, "Let's see if you can get a species who is not native to your land to live with the others, I'll be watching you." the Maker said, and the clouds stopped spinning around. The moose look around and see the natives of the land, "Is this the place?" a male moose asked, they look and see the animals, "Yup, this is it." a female moose replied, they look at the other creatures, "I am Volvox, the emperor of this land, I will be under the ground, watching you all, I am not to be disturbed about anything, if you have something to say or any complaints, address it to my second-in-command over there, his name is Dommiel, he and the other natives will teach you how to live in this country." Volvox said, and he began to walk back, "Really, emperor? We have to help these creatures adapt to living with us? Look at how small they are, they look weak as well, they might as well be food for us, plus, I fear their descendants are going to be small and weak creatures that will not be able to..." a male tyrannosaurus said, Volvox turned around and looked at him, "Stop your complaining, your descendant's a chicken." Volvox replied, the creatures in his land were confused while the world's natives were extremely shocked, Fluttershy looked at a chicken and at the tyrannosaurus, she was too shocked to say anything. Princess Celestia flies to Volvox while he was turning around, "Emperor Volvox, I would like a few words with you." Princess Celestia said while Volvox began to walk away, "Direct your words to Dommiel." Volvox replied as he walked away, Princess Celestia flew to in front of him, "No, I wish to speak to you directly, you will not ignore me." Princess Celestia said, Volvox stopped walking, "I was told Dommiel was the ruler, you all lied to me, I do not like being lied to." Princess Celestia said, "Well, I don't really do anything, so Dommiel is basically the one with the power." Volvox replied, "Aren't you the one who created them?" Princess Celestia asked, "Well, yes." Volvox replied, "Then you are the one with the power, I would like to know why you do not interact with your people." Princess Celestia said, "Why should I? I let them live how they want, and they like my rule." Volvox replied, "Well, my country and the others don't, you need to make a few changes." Princess Celestia said, "My citizens disagree." Volvox replied, "Then perhaps they should watch us, and change." Princess Celestia said, Volvox did not respond, he just walked past her while she watched him, the ground opens by itself and Volvox goes in, it fixed itself, she flew away and everybody watched the moose in Volvox's country. The moose met the other creatures and were introduced to the rulers, and told about the separation of the land, sky, and sea creatures, they settled down afterwards, "What is the name of your kind?" Tom asked, "Cervalces." a male moose replied, "Okay then, first off, you all need a ruler, that person will either be called King Cervalces or Queen Cervalces, who gets to rule is determined by physical strength, you all will have to fight for it, whoever is left standing at the end is the one who will rule your kind, may the physically strongest moose win." Tom said, "What?! No!" Twilight Sparkle said as she and the ponies went to their land, the dragons, griffons, and yaks thought that was a good way to determine a ruler, "That's how y'all determine who gets to rule?" Applejack asked, "Of course, we need to survive, and the ruler has to defend their own kind, so the physically strongest member of their kind becomes the ruler." Anancus replied, the ponies were shocked, "No, I will not have a ruler of a group determined in such a barbaric way, physical strength is unnecessary to rule." Princess Celestia said, "What is necessary, then?" Stegosaurus asked, "Having intelligence, along with empathy, a ruler must be kind, generous, loyal, honest, and try to bring hopes up when they are down, a ruler who lacks such things, and only has physical strength, is not fit to be a ruler." Princess Celestia replied, "You mean intelligence when it comes to hunting, right?" Pachycephalosaurus asked, "No, politics." Princess Celestia replied, the creatures in Volvox's land were confused, "We will choose the ruler for them, you all need to reconsider your rulers as well." Princess Celestia said, "Ooh, this might be fun, let's give it a try." a female moose said, "Okay, but don't come complaining to us if your ruler gets killed." Smilodon replied, the ponies glare at them, "Come on, I'll show you all around." Fluttershy said, and she led them, the creatures in Volvox's land get on with their days. The moose come back and they saw a female moose leading them, "I just got called Queen Cervalces." the female moose said, "You're... kind of small." Tom replied, "Yeah, they didn't have us fight to see who was the physically strongest, they did tests to see what our personalities were like." Queen Cervalces said, "Well, look at that. Are you all still willing to try our way?" Amphicyon asked, the moose nodded, "Alright, there are a few rules, first of all, these are fights to determine the strongest, you will be disqualified to rule if you kill your opponent, even if it's accidental, second, no fatal injuries are allowed to inflicted, third, you have to fight every single person in your group once, you cannot fight the same person twice, fourth, no hits to the head, heart, or groin, and fifth, no biting, stabbing, or scratching." Tom said, the moose nodded and they began wrestling one another, they did not use their antlers to fight. The creatures on the land watch them and the female moose lost before any male lost, the males were physically stronger than the females, just like the other creatures, the biggest male moose won, "Well, which one do you guys want?" Megatherium asked, and the moose vote, "I'll be staying the ruler." Queen Cervalces replied, "Alright then, plus, it'll probably make the other countries mad if we had the ruler be the physically strongest." Arthropleura said, the other creatures in Volvox's land agreed, "Well, you all know the rules, stay out of the water, and don't jump too high, or the creatures in the sea and sky will get you guys, follow those rules, and everything will be just fine." Dommiel said, and they live in Volvox's land. The next day comes and fighting was heard, they saw the creatures in the water and the creatures in the sky were fighting again, but it was not that loud, it stopped after a few minutes. The Mane Six decided to go to their country and bring their pets, "What the? What is this?" Argentavis asked as he looked at Owlowiscious, "He's an owl, kind of common in our country." Twilight Sparkle replied, "A flier serving a walker?" Arambourgiania asked, "No, don't look at it that way, we live together peacefully." Twilight Sparkle replied, "What is he to you?" Arambourgiania asked, "He's my pet." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Pet? He serves under you as a slave?" Argentavis asked, "No, I take care of him and feed him, while he does what he wants to do." Twilight Sparkle replied, the flying creatures were still confused. Rainbow Dash went to the water and called out for Archelon and his turtles, she showed them Tank, "This is Tank, he and I live together in peace." Rainbow Dash said, "What the? I've never seen a land dwelling turtle before." Archelon replied, "Yeah, he's kind of unique, I've never seen anymore like him, either." Rainbow Dash said, "Does he hunt and eat meat like Archelon's turtles?" Beelzebufo asked, "He eats anything, actually." Rainbow Dash replied, "Does he hunt?" Archelon asked, "Uh, no." Rainbow Dash replied, "Plus, he doesn't have flippers, he's a land dweller, thus, not welcome here." Elasmosaurus said, "I know, I just thought you guys would've liked to meet another type of turtle." Rainbow Dash replied, "Turtles who live on land do not concern me." Archelon replied, "Oh, well, I tried." Rainbow Dash said, and she flew away with Tank. Fluttershy showed all of the land animals Angel Bunny, "Everycreature, meet Angel Bunny, my main pet." Fluttershy said, "Uh, what is this?" Titanoboa asked, "He's a leporid, they're also known as bunnies and rabbits." Fluttershy replied, "Wait, did you say he's your pet?" a female velociraptor asked, "Yes, why?" Fluttershy asked, "By pet, do you mean he's your slave?" Tom asked, "Oh no, it's him who bosses me around." Fluttershy replied, "This term 'pet' is very confusing." Arctodus said, the others agreed, Fluttershy then went on to explain elaborately. Pinkie Pie went to the alligators and crocodiles to show them her pet, "Meet Gummy, my pet alligator." Pinkie Pie said, "Alligator? He looks like a midget to me." Deinosuchus said, he then laughed alongside Sarcosuchus, and the other alligators and crocodiles, "He's still a baby." Pinkie Pie replied, "A baby? Even a baby alligator or crocodile in our water can swallow him whole." Sarcosuchus said, Pinkie Pie was uneasy, "Well, he's still a baby, so, maybe he'll grow up to be big and strong like you guys." Pinkie Pie said, "I doubt it." Deinosuchus replied, "Well... I hoped you all enjoyed meeting Gummy, he and I will be going now, so bye-bye." Pinkie Pie said, and she left with Gummy, the alligators and crocodiles native to Volvox's land sigh in relief with her gone, they found her to be really annoying. Rarity took Opalescence to meet Smilodon and his cats, "Now, as you can see, this is Opal, my prized jewel, she is a bit moody, so please be careful when you approach her." Rarity said, Smilodon and his cats just look at her, "What is that on her head?" Smilodon asked, "Why, it's a ribbon." Rarity replied, Smilodon and his cats glare at her, "What?" Rarity asked, "Why?" a female homotherium asked, "Well, it's fashionable." Rarity replied, "That will get in the way of her hunts." a male saber-toothed tiger said, "Actually, it doesn't." Rarity replied, "How about hiding? The other hunters will find her easily with that." Smilodon said, "Well, we don't have hunters in our home." Rarity replied, Smilodon and his cats were surprised, "What about that thing on her neck? How does she breathe with that thing on?" Smilodon asked, "Why, it's a collar, some pet owners use it so they can remember the name of their pets, and it's not tight, our pets can breathe easily with collars." Rarity replied, "What do you guys do with them?" a female saber-toothed tiger asked, "Well, we do have pet shows, where we make them as beautiful as possible, and the most beautiful pet wins." Rarity replied, "What else?" a female homotherium asked, "They also catch pests in our homes if they invade, and do what we tell them to do, that's what pets do." Rarity replied, Smilodon and his cats glare at her, "Sounds like slavery to me." Smilodon said, his cats agreed, Rarity exclaimed with shock, "It most certainly is not, we are the caretakers of our pets, we feed them and play with them." Rarity said, "And what do they do when none of you are around?" a female dinictis asked, "Whatever they want." Rarity replied, "Oh, okay, so it's not slavery." Smilodon said, "Phew, I'm glad we cleared that misunderstanding, Opal here likes to hunt from time to time as well." Rarity replied, "All cats do." Smilodon said, "Well, I have to go now, darlings, hope we can meet again." Rarity replied, and she and Opal left. Applejack took Winona to meet the dogs, Amphicyon smelled her, "What is this?" Amphicyon asked, "This is Winona, she's part of mah family." Applejack replied, "I understand walkers befriending other walkers, but two different types being related is unheard of." a male dire wolf said, "No, y'all, long story short, she's adopted." Applejack said, "Oh." Amphicyon and his dogs said, "Now that makes sense, it is good that walkers are willing to adopt orphaned fellow walkers." Amphicyon said, Applejack smiled, "Where did you all find her?" a female aelurodon asked, "Honestly, y'all, her parents lived with mah family, they already passed, but we still consider her a part of our family." Applejack replied, "What is that around her neck?" a male borophagus asked, "That's her collar, it's so we can remember her name." Applejack replied, "Really? It looks like it's meant to strangle her to me." Amphicyon said, "It ain't, y'all, it also lets the others know who she is, her name's right there." Applejack replied, "How tight can it get?" Amphicyon asked, "It's on at its tightest right now." Applejack replied, Amphicyon and his dogs examine the collar, they see it was, "Okay, never mind." Amphicyon said, and they move back, "Well, the sun's startin' to set, we have to go home now." Applejack said, "Alright, don't get eaten." Amphicyon replied, and they leave. The Mane Six decided to see how Queen Cervalces and her moose were doing, they were getting along peacefully, and were happy, seeing a chance to finally perhaps unite the land, sky, and sea, they all head home and the night comes. The next day comes and King Thorax and the changelings change to the smaller creatures of the land and enter Volvox's land, they were planning to report to the other countries if things have changed, but while they walked around and blended in completely, the other animals smelled them and attacked them. The changelings change back and run away while screaming, the other five creatures living in the world go to them, "It's no use, they can smell us out, we can't disguise ourselves as them." King Thorax said, "So, you guys can't live among them?" Starlight Glimmer asked, the changelings shook their heads, "They can tell us apart by scent." Ocellus replied, "Wow, they must have strong senses of smell, not even we can smell odor on you guys." Sandbar said, "Well, it was worth trying, come on, let's see how those moose are doing." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she flew to them. Twilight Sparkle went to them and saw something strange, they had two rulers, "What the?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Oh, we decided to try something different." Queen Cervalces replied, "What?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Since you guys want our ruler to be the most empathetic and kind hearted, and these guys want our ruler to be the physically strongest, we decided to have two rulers, one for you guys, and one for them." King Cervalces replied, "Oh, uh... okay, this isn't what I expected." Twilight Sparkle said, "What do you have in mind today?" Queen Cervalces asked, "Actually, I was hoping to see which members of each kind were the most empathetic and caring." Twilight Sparkle replied, the other creatures in Volvox's land refused, they can tell it was going to take too long, "Uh, guys, all they did was show us different types of animals that were fine, sick, or injured, and they would see our reactions, test was short." Queen Cervalces said, "It's still going to take too long to do all of us." Tom replied, Twilight Sparkle saw Tom did have a point, "Do you moose get along with the creatures on land?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yup, we're already friends with all of them." King Cervalces replied, "Yeah, getting them adopted to the country was easy." Anancus said, the other creatures agreed, "Okay, come now, let's go to the water and see if you guys can befriend someone in the sea." Twilight Sparkle said, and she took the moose there, "What are you land dwelling scum doing here?" Sarcosuchus asked, Twilight Sparkle was offended already, but she ignored it and continued with her plans, "Go now, try to ask kindly for something." Twilight Sparkle said, "Uh, can we bathe in the water?" Queen Cervalces asked uncomfortably, "If you wish to be eaten alive." Deinosuchus replied, shocking Twilight Sparkle, "Wait, let's try someone else." Twilight Sparkle said, Megalodon came up to the surface, "You can enter if you wish, some of my sharks are hungry for your flesh." Megalodon said, "Uh, no thanks." King Cervalces replied, Megalodon snickered while he went back under the water, "Um, are there any herbivores under the water?" Queen Cervalces asked, a hammerhead creature came up, "I'm one." the hammerhead creature replied, "Go on, introduce yourselves." Twilight Sparkle said, "I'm Queen Cervalces." Queen Cervalces said, "Atopodentatus." the hammerhead creature said, "Okay, now talk about the plants you all have." Twilight Sparkle said, "I eat leaves." Queen Cervalces said, "Seaweed." Atopodentatus replied, the two look at Twilight Sparkle, "Uh, doing this doesn't feel right." Atopodentatus said, "You all are stepping out of your comfort zone, it's a normal feeling." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Why are you making us do this?" Queen Cervalces asked, "Because friendship has no boundaries, it doesn't matter what type of creature you are, what species you are, what your gender is, how old you are, what social class you come from, or what environment you live in, it's all about your personality and interests, friendship can spread on the land, in the sky, and in the sea, it is not separated like how guys are." Twilight Sparkle replied, the creatures of Volvox's land were surprised, "You do know you're still disrespecting our ways, right?" Deinosuchus asked, "That's another thing, if the three environments come together, then you all can help one another survive instead of fighting one another." Twilight Sparkle replied, the creatures thought about it, "Go on, keep trying." Twilight Sparkle said, "What do you say, Dommiel?" Tom asked, "I guess it's worth a try." Dommiel replied, "What about the emperor?" Argentinosaurus asked, "Do as you wish." Volvox replied from under the ground, the rulers of the world go to where Volvox's voice came from, "Volvox, we would like a word with you." Princess Celestia said, "Direct it to Dommiel." Volvox replied, "No, it's about your rule, your ways of making them live." Princess Luna said, "Oh, never mind, what is it?" Volvox asked, "Why do you have them separated by land, sky, and sea for?" Princess Cadence asked, "Because some can't fly, some can't swim or breathe underwater, and some can't walk on land or breathe out of the water." Volvox replied, "Didn't you make them like that?" Princess Skystar asked, "It wasn't my choice." Volvox replied, "Why did you make them the way they are?" Queen Novo asked, "The Maker told me to, it sent my kingdom here because it wanted to me to change my kingdom." Volvox replied, "Well, it did have good intentions, I mean, your kingdom is very flawed." Shining Armor said, a chord was struck inside of Volvox, but he restrained it, "Yeah, I mean, the dragons in this world have fighting for entertainment, too, but we fight until one is defeated, not to the death." Princess Ember said, "You're not going to try to fight Dommiel to rule the dragons in my land, are you?" Volvox asked, "No, we will only fight if he attacks us." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Is this why you all are here?" Volvox asked, "Yak want know why three head man make creatures separated in first place." Prince Rutherford replied, "I already said why." Volvox said, "What is the Maker?" Princess Ember asked, "A god without a physical body." Volvox replied, "Heh, no wonder why it hasn't appeared in person." Grampa Gruff said, "If you're going to continue talking about this, I literally have nothing more to say on the subject." Volvox replied, "I would appreciate it if you came out, Volvox." Princess Celestia said, "Stand back, then." Volvox replied, and they moved back, the ground bursts open and Volvox appeared, the ground fixed itself when he was out, "See anything of interest, Volvox?" Princess Luna asked, "I can see everything in my kingdom from under the ground." Volvox replied, "I noticed your country is not very developed, Volvox, we can help you if you let us." Princess Celestia said, "I'm watching the land and sea right now." Volvox replied, the other rulers look and see Queen Cervalces and Atopodentatus conversing about the plants they eat, the two smiled a bit while Twilight Sparkle smiled, "I see, it'll probably ease up tensions between the environments at best." Volvox said, "Easing up is not enough, Volvox, it needs to be gone." Princess Celestia said, and they watch Twilight Sparkle, "Okay, now that we got the sea cleared up, it's time to try one for the sky." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, tensions between land and sky is not as tense as land and sea." King Cervalces replied, "That's wonderful, this'll be easier then. Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash." Twilight Sparkle said, and the two flew, Gallus and Smolder went along as backup, "Uh, excuse me." Fluttershy said, and the flying creatures gathered around, "We were wondering if any of you would like to befriend the creatures on land." Rainbow Dash said, "We already get along with them, overall." a female microraptor replied, "No, we mean as in befriend them completely." Gallus said, "Yeah, look at us, we're friends with those who live in all three environments." Smolder said, "Well, *sigh* let's try it." Arambourgiania replied, and the female microraptor flew down, she flew to a male triceratops, "Excuse me." the microraptor said, the triceratops looked at her, "Yes?" the triceratops asked, "What do plants taste like?" the microraptor asked, "Kind of bitter, but I'm used to it." the triceratops replied, "Oh, I eat fish, they're sticky and oily, but they taste pretty good." the microraptor said, the triceratops chuckled, "I'm Zhaoianus, how about you?" the microraptor asked, "Alticornus." the triceratops replied, "Can I try a plant?" Zhaoianus asked, and Alticornus gives her one, she tastes it and spits it out, "Yuck." Zhaoianus said, "What does fish taste like?" Alticornus asked, and Zhaoianus went to go get one, she got a small one and Alticornus tried it, he spat it out, "This is terrible." Alticornus said, "Yeah, I thought the plant tasted bad, too." Zhaoianus replied, "Well, we do have different diets and digestive systems." Alticornus said, "What's yours like?" Zhaoianus asked, and they talk about their digestive systems, "Okay, now, time for sky and sea." Twilight Sparkle said, "How about you?" Fluttershy asked a male flying dragon, "I guess I'll try." the dragon replied, and it flew to the water, some of the creatures tried jumped out of the water to try to eat him, he flew back up, the unicorns and alicorns restrain them with their magic, it took several unicorns to pick up one sea creature because they were big and heavy, "Stop, this is why this needs to stop." Twilight Sparkle said, the animals in the water grumbled, "Uh, are there any hunters in there?" the dragon asked, a male sea scorpion comes up, "I'm one." the sea scorpion replied, "Well, introduce yourselves." Twilight Sparkle said, "Ventus." the dragon said, "Eurypterus." the sea scorpion said, "What kind of animals do you eat?" Ventus asked, "Anything I can catch." Eurypterus replied, "Even your own kind?" Ventus asked, "Nope, just the mindless fish and bugs." Eurypterus replied, "Wait, mindless fish and bugs?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yeah, there are fish in this country that don't have rulers, and bugs that act on instinct that Arthropleura allow us to eat, they serve as food to the carnivores and omnivores, the emperor created them so we can eat them and survive." Ventus replied, Twilight Sparkle was bewildered while Fluttershy was extremely horrified, she was nearly crying. Princess Celestia walked to them, "Instead of eating them, you all should eat those who are already deceased, and I don't mean by taking their lives, I mean as in already deceased when found, I don't think they want to lose their lives, either." Princess Celestia said, the carnivores mumble about it, "Well, what kind of meat do you eat?" Ventus asked, "Any meat I can find." Eurypterus replied, "Yeah, same here." Ventus said, "Don't you eat the animals from the water?" Eurypterus asked, "Sometimes, I usually catch the bugs in the air, and eat those who were killed in hunts." Ventus replied, "Yeah, me too." Eurypterus said, Ventus chuckled while smiling a bit, "Maybe you swimmers are not so bad after all." Ventus said, "I can say the same about you fliers, we are only separated because of where we live, and not our personalities." Eurypterus replied, "Yeah, well, nice speaking to you." Ventus said, "Alright, have a good day." Eurypterus replied, and Ventus flew away while Eurypterus went underwater. The natives of Volvox's land were surprised, and the walkers, swimmers, and fliers all began seeing one another and they befriended one another, the ponies cheered, "Yes, we did it!" Rainbow Dash said, "Time for party!" Pinkie Pie replied loudly, "Hold on, guys, give us time, we'll show you all what a ceremony and party is tomorrow, we have to put them together." Twilight Sparkle said, and the world's natives left. The next day comes and all of the creatures in Volvox's land and the natives to the world gather together, they were celebrating the fact that the creatures have united, and tensions between land, sky, and sea were completely gone. Queen Cervalces, Atopodentatus, Zhaoianus, Alticornus, Ventus, and Eurypterus were together, a ceremony was happening in front of the water so everycreature can join in, "Since you six united the three environments together, I hereby announce you six foreign heroes in our countries, you all will be remembered for uniting the land, sky, and sea in your homes." Twilight Sparkle said, the world's natives clap and cheer while Volvox and his people were bored, some were asleep, Smilodon sniffs around and smells something weird, his cats notice. Smilodon looks at a female xenosmilus, the other cats smell her, so did the natives of the Volvox's land, the world's natives watched, "What?" the female xenosmilus asked, Smilodon, Amphicyon, and Arctodus roar at her with their cats, dogs, and bears, they run to her and the xenosmilus runs away while screaming, the cats, dogs, and bears attack her, the xenosmilus changes to Queen Chrysalis, shocking the world's natives, she flew away while screaming in terror. The ponies were shocked for a moment, they knew she was plotting something, but they decided to continue with what they had planned, the party starts and the world's natives celebrated while Volvox and his people were confused, they did not know what to do, "Come on, guys, try one of the food I made." Pinkie Pie said, they look at the candy and cupcakes, they smell them and they smelled pleasant, Tom licked the icing on one cupcake and shook his head, the others licked the icing, none of them liked it, Dommiel and Volvox disliked it as well, "Too sweet." Dommiel said, the others agreed, "That sweetness comes from the love and joy of everycreature here." Pinkie Pie replied, "That's crap and you know it." Stegosaurus said, shocking Pinkie Pie, "Plus, what is that on top of them? It looks like a pile of dung." Sarcosuchus said, Pinkie Pie realized he was referring to the icing, "Come on, guys, we've got punch, too." Twilight Sparkle said, and she tried to offer them fruit punch, they smelled it, a female land dragon licked it, "What flavor is this?" a female land dragon asked, "Apple." Twilight Sparkle replied, "This is sweet apple, our apples are sour." the female land dragon said, "You don't like it?" Apple Bloom asked, the female dragon shook her head, "Come on, guys, we have dancing, too." Silverstream said, and she tried to show them, the natives of Volvox's land did not know what dance was, but they were not having fun trying it, "We have music, too." Sandbar said, and music was played, Volvox and his people did not enjoy it, they thought it was stupid because they were thinking someone playing music would give away their positions to hunters. Rarity tried to show them fashion, but they did not like it, the dragons and griffons tried fighting with the flying creatures, with Princess Ember taking on the biggest flying dragon, and Dragon Lord Torch wrestled with Dommiel, Princess Ember lost while the fight between Dommiel and Dragon Lord Torch ended in a tie. The griffons fought with the birds and pterosaurs, most of them ended in ties, and the yaks fought the rhinoceroses, with the rhinoceroses winning most of the fights, "It's getting dark, we have to sleep." Volvox said, the world's natives realize it was, and they decided to end the party and everyone went home. Morning comes and the clouds spun counterclockwise in Volvox's land again, "We need to talk, Volvox." the Maker said, Volvox came out and walked to it, his people were already awake, so were the world's natives, "Well, what do you have to say after meeting other kingdoms?" the Maker asked, Volvox looked at his people and they smiled at him, the world's natives were waiting for his answer as well, he looked up at the Maker, "My kingdom is perfect." Volvox replied with a smile, his people laugh, so did the dragons, griffons, and yaks, the changelings were bewildered, the hippogriffs were confused, and the ponies were shocked, "That's exactly what you said before I sent you here, apparently, you didn't learn your lesson." the Maker said, "What lesson?" Volvox asked, his people snicker, so did the moose. Princess Celestia flew to in front of him, "There is no such thing as a perfect kingdom, Volvox, look at mine for example, people like my rule, but I still have problems in it." Princess Celestia said, "Well, Volvox, it looks like I have to send you to another area." the Maker said, "My kingdom was perfect then, and it's perfect now." Volvox replied, "What do you moose say?" the Maker asked, they agreed with him, the Maker saw the creatures were not divided by land, sky, or sea anymore, "Oh, you guys did change, maybe you did learn something after all, Volvox, very well, I'll send you all back, I'll let you know when it's time to change." the Maker said, and Princess Celestia flew back. The world's natives say bye to them while Volvox and his creatures ignored them, the Maker transferred them out of the world and Equestria shifted back to normal. The world's natives were happy they were able to unite the three environments. Volvox and his land were returned to their home, and Volvox made the trees reappear, "Go see Dommiel if you all have anything to say." Volvox said, and he went back to the underworld, he watched his people, he knew they would go extinct eventually, and it would be time for new creatures to roam the Earth, Volvox waited patiently for that day to come. PrimitiveVolvox watched the Earth develop after he created his own kingdom, he had dragons and dinosaurs, they developed their own society, the dinosaurs were the regular citizens in his society, while the dragons were the aristocrats, while in the military, the dinosaurs were enlisted, while the dragons were officers, Volvox watched for any signs of a dinosaur trying to rebel out of jealousy, but it has not happened yet. Volvox had three rulers in his kingdom, he was the emperor since he was their creator and one of a kind to his own species, his second-in-command was a dragon named Dommiel, he was the society's king, and his third-in-command was a spinosaurus named Tom, he was the prince. Volvox would not interfere unless Dommiel and Tom called him, whenever the dinosaurs and dragons had something to say, they would go to Tom, and if he could not do anything, Dommiel would intervene. The three lived in pyramids, Tom lived in the pyramid to the right, it was the smallest pyramid, Dommiel lived in the pyramid to the left, it was bigger than Tom's pyramid, but smaller than Volvox's pyramid, and Volvox lived in the pyramid in the center, it was huge, and he did not come out unless he had to. The Maker contacted Volvox, the dragons, and the dinosaurs telepathically, it told them it was going to create a fourth species to have a society: humans, and they were created. Volvox and the others were shocked by how small they were, so they had them put out of their society so they do not end up stepping on them by accident, Volvox informed the humans what they were doing telepathically, the humans understood and appreciated it. Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom step out of their society and watch the humans, they see the humans were curious about everything, they were playing with the dirt, some ate them, some ate the grass, some thought the nearby water stream was some kind of food, and they thought the sky was another land they could live on. The humans see they can make pictures in the dirt with their fingers, they began jumping up and down in excitement, "Apparently, these humans are not so smart." Tom said, "Yeah, no kidding, they take stupidity to a whole new level." Volvox replied, "Well, an ice age is coming up, let's see if they're smart enough to survive." Dommiel said, they notice the men and women were making noises of shock and excitement when they see the different bodies of the opposite gender, Volvox sighed, "They're fully grown adults, and they're acting like they were born this morning." Volvox said, "Well, I guess we should head back." Tom replied, the others agreed and Volvox put telepathic messages in their heads, they were about his kingdom, all of the dinosaurs in his kingdom were theropods, and only the dragons flew, he also told them that the first of January is his birthday, and he is to receive a gift every year, and celebrating the birthdays of the others were optional. Volvox made caves appear for the humans so they can have somewhere to go for the ice age, he also made fur as clothes appear on them, the humans were excited, every man and woman wore a long-sleeve shirt and pants, Volvox also made calf-length boots for them, also made out of fur, the humans began to experiment with what was around them, everything fascinated them. Volvox made a big gray rock appear around his society, there was no way in, he informed the humans telepathically it was to protect themselves from getting hurt, even though it was not, he did not wish to have humans in his society because they could get stepped on. A week passes and the ice age came, the humans were jumping up and down in excitement in the snow, some caught the snow in their mouths, and others took their boots off to walk barefoot, but they screamed in pain and shock and put the boots back on, Volvox, the dragons, and the dinosaurs shook their heads over how ignorant the humans were. A day passes and the humans stayed in the caves, "Okay, they're quick learners, hopefully, they can learn quick enough so their stupidity doesn't kill them." Volvox said, the others agreed, they all sense something strange realize they were being teleported by an outside force. Volvox uses his magic to find out where it was coming from, he realized it was coming from a place full of ponies, an earth pony was doing an experiment, it was going to transfer them to their land, "Everyone, brace for impact." Volvox said, and they did, they were teleported out of their world shortly afterwards. Doctor Whooves and Roseluck were doing an experiment, Derpy was there to help them, "Do you need anything else, Doctor?" Derpy asked, "No, it's fine." Doctor Whooves replied, "So, what is this device supposed to do?" Roseluck asked, "As you know, I have been to many different worlds, I'm hoping this device can transfer their worlds here so I can reunite with some old friends." Doctor Whooves replied, Roseluck and Derpy smiled. Doctor Whooves sees something appearing just east of Canterlot, the mountains and train tracks were destroyed in that area. The area appears and Volvox's land appeared, the blizzard and snow covered everything, "Great wickering stallions!" Doctor Whooves said, "Do you recognize that place?" Roseluck asked, "Actually, no." Doctor Whooves replied, and they looked at the area. Princess Celestia walked onto the balcony of her palace and looked at the place, she felt the cold in the area, it was freezing, "Oh, I'm going to need a jacket or two to go there." Princess Celestia said, everypony was freezing cold from the new area, "Whoo, that is one mighty blizzard." Applejack said, "Yeah, I sure hope no one's there." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Me too, even the weather factory can't make blizzards that strong." Rainbow Dash said, "I hope it ends soon, it will ruin all of the fashion there if they have people." Rarity said, "Forget about the fashion, think about the animals." Fluttershy replied, "Wait, where's Pinkie?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Pinkie Pie hopped into the blizzard and looked around, "Hello? Is anyone here?" Pinkie Pie asked, the humans heard her and were scared, they hid in the caves, Pinkie Pie navigates around easily, even though the blizzard obscured her vision. Pinkie Pie hops around and sees several caves, "Ooh, caves, I love exploring." Pinkie Pie said, and she tried to hop into one, but it felt very cold, "Brrr, never mind, I'm going to need my winter clothes." Pinkie Pie said, and she hopped away, much to the relief of the humans. The ponies, dragons native to the world, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs look at the new area, they were wondering what was behind the snow, "Let's go, yak explore." Prince Rutherford said, and they go, Yona went along. The yaks walk forward and see the caves, they enter and see the humans, they became extremely scared, "Relax, yaks come in peace." Prince Rutherford said, the humans did not understand them, "Me Yona, what your names?" Yona asked, the humans did not understand her, "Do people understand us?" a male yak asked, the humans were confused and scared, "Let go, people not speak." Prince Rutherford said, and the yaks leave. The yaks go back to the world's natives, "Well? What's in there?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "People live in caves, people scared of yaks." Prince Rutherford replied, "Oh no, we have to help them, they won't survive in a blizzard that strong." Fluttershy said, "Actually, people safe in caves." Yona replied, "But they still can't come out, oh, I can't imagine how hard it is for them." Ocellus said, "I think we should clear the skies for them." Sandbar replied, the ponies agreed, "I agree, I want to meet these people, too." Twilight Sparkle said, and the Pegasi began flying around with clouds to absorb the falling snow, but the blizzard did not let up, so the Pegasi flew around and took the clouds to the weather factory to take the snow out, spilling some of the snow in Equestria in the process. Volvox, the dragons native to his society, and the dinosaurs watch them through a magic screen, "Look at that, lucky them, the natives in this world can control the weather." Volvox said, "Yeah, they probably would've died eventually." Dommiel replied, "True, they don't have any food or water in there, the only thing to eat is one another." Tom said, "Well, the Maker did create them at a bad time, I don't know why it chose now, though." Volvox replied, "Who knows, maybe the Maker has other plans." Dommiel said, "Well, we'll see." Tom replied, and they continue watching the humans. The ponies clear the skies while enduring the cold, all of the snow was gone, "Whoo-hoo!" Pinkie Pie said loudly as she ran and jumped onto the snow, but screamed when she fell into it, becoming buried up to her neck, she tries to get out but was stuck, "Help!" Pinkie Pie said, Twilight Sparkle and Rarity use their telekinesis to take her out, "It's still freezing." Rainbow Dash said, "Yeah, Ah'm gonna need a heavier coat." Applejack replied, "Let's go back, darlings, I shall prepare us a more fashionable winter attire, along with being able to endure this cold." Rarity said, and they go to Carousel Boutique. Rarity sews some outfits together while Sweetie Belle helped her get the supplies, "Do you need anything else?" Sweetie Belle asked, "No, Sweetie Belle, that is all, thank you, darling." Rarity replied, and Sweetie Belle stood by to see the new outfits. The Mane Six put on their new winter outfits, they were all covered from head to hoof with goggles over their eyes', "Wow, you all look nice, I want one." Sweetie Belle said, "After we get back, Sweetie Belle, we have a place to explore first." Rarity replied, Sweetie Belle nodded excitedly, "Come on, let's go." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go to Volvox's territory. The Mane Six walk through the snow and see a cave, even though their new winter attires were heavy, they were still cold, "Oh my, even this isn't warm enough, I'm going to have to create an even heavier one." Rarity said with her voice muffled, "Or we can have Princess Celestia heat up the place with the sun." Applejack replied with a muffled voice, "I agree with Applejack, I think that would be the better solution." Twilight Sparkle said with a muffled voice, "Me too, I can't imagine those poor animals living here, they probably never felt the warmth of the sun." Fluttershy replied with a muffled voice, "I don't see a cave anywhere, how about you guys?" Rainbow Dash asked with a muffled voice, "I remember where it is, follow me." Pinkie Pie replied with a muffled voice, and they do. The humans stay in the cave and hear walking, they were scared, they became even more scared when they saw shadows, "Wait, I hear them, they're this way." Twilight Sparkle said in a muffled voice, and she leads them to where she hears the humans, she casted a light with her horn to light up the dark cave. The Mane Six walk and see the humans, they became scared, they six ponies take their masks off and reveal their faces, "Hiya!" Pinkie Pie said happily as she ran to them, the humans were still scared, "Wait, Pinkie, I think your loud voice is scaring them, please, allow me." Fluttershy said, and she goes to them and says "Hello, my name is Fluttershy, I'd like to take you all to my cottage, you all must be hungry and cold here, I have plenty of food and water for you all." the humans were still scared and backed away, "Oh goodness, they're scared of even me." Fluttershy said, "Maybe they're not animals." Twilight Sparkle replied, "That would make sense, it looks like they're wearin' fur like clothin'." Applejack said, Rarity looks at their clothes and realized what she was saying, "I understand the need to be practical, but this fur is ugly, I especially don't like that brown color." Rarity said, "So, uh, what should we do?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I don't think there is anything we can do, come on, let's head back." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they left after putting their masks and goggles back on, the humans were very confused, but they found Fluttershy's voice to be very soothing. The Mane Six go back to Carousel Boutique, "How was it there?" Sweetie Belle asked, "The people there are scared of us, too." Applejack replied, "You guys, too?" Sweetie Belle asked, the six mares nod, "Well, can I have my winter wear now, Rarity?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Oh right, I did promise to make you one, in a minute, darling, I have to get things set up first." Rarity replied, and she walked past her while Sweetie Belle smiled with excitement. Rarity prepares to make the outfit for Sweetie Belle until she hears the door, she looks and saw Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, "Howdy, can we have one, too?" Apple Bloom asked, "Hold on a minute, Apple Bloom, that place is a lot colder than an average winter." Applejack replied, "How cold is it?" Scootaloo asked, "Really cold, even this heavy clothing is not enough to keep us warm." Rainbow Dash replied, surprising the Cutie Mark Crusaders, "Well, we should keep them just in case we go back, I agree we should make these three one as well." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yay!" Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle said together, "Hold on a minute, darlings, I have to get the supplies ready." Rarity said, and she got ready to sew outfits for them. Volvox watched the humans outside the rock around his society with a magic screen, they were gathering around to stay warm, "Well, at least they some shred of intelligence." Volvox said, and he continues watching them, he sighs with boredom while he watches the humans, the dragons and dinosaurs hear him and wonder about the humans outside. Volvox's attention was caught when he saw the sun suddenly get stronger. Princess Celestia was using her magic to make the sun stronger, the ponies in Canterlot were getting cold, the snow was coming into their country, she was curious about the humans living there, and she was worried about their safeties. Everycreature watches as Princess Celestia melts the snow, she was excited to meet the humans, the snow was completely melted and everybody sees the green grass on the ground, but everycreature's attention was to the north of the caves, there was a big gray rock there, it went up into the sky, everybody was curious about it. The humans notice the sun outside and were confused, the men and women step out and look around, they see the grass and plants everywhere, they were surprised, the humans get on their knees' and look at the grass, they smell it, and then they try eating it, much to the surprise of the world's natives. The ponies walk to them to try to greet the humans again, the princesses went this time as well, "Hello ther..." Princess Cadence said, the humans become scared and back away from the ponies, "Hey, it's okay, we're here to say hi." Princess Cadence said, Flurry Heart got onto the ground and held her front left hoof out in hopes of shaking hands with one of the humans, she smiled as well, the humans backed away from her in fear, much to Flurry Heart's bewilderment, "Come on now, shake her hoof, she means no harm." Shining Armor said, the humans were still scared, "You think it could be because they're new here?" Sandbar asked, the other ponies thought about it, "What are your names?" Cheerilee asked, the humans were confused and looked at one another, "I don't think they have names." Maud Pie said, "Ooh, this is so much fun, they have unlimited possibilities!" Pinkie Pie replied happily, the ponies agreed, "Twilight, I'm getting the feeling these creatures were born just recently, and don't know anything, it's up to us to teach them." Princess Celestia said, "Really? This is amazing, I can teach them friendship right from the start." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Don't put them in school just yet, Twilight, they seem incapable of communication right now, I doubt they can read as well." Princess Celestia said, "I can teach them, I can have Spike and Starlight help, too." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, good luck, Twilight, I'll be watching from my castle." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away, the ponies try to introduce themselves, but the humans were scared of them, they saw the dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs as well, they were scared them as well, the ponies leave and decide to try another time. The next day comes and Twilight Sparkle, Spike, and Starlight Glimmer go to the humans, the humans become scared and back away from them, "It's okay, guys, we're here to help." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans still backed away in fear, "Hey, guys, watch this." Spike said, and he breathed fire out of his mouth, the humans were confused, they pointed at it and looked at one another, they did not know what fire was, "Uh, okay, let's try this." Starlight Glimmer said, and she uses her horn to cast telekinesis, the humans were still confused, they felt their own foreheads and did not feel horns, they did not know how she made things float, the humans tried to do the same but could not. Starlight Glimmer shows them a book, the humans look at it and saw it fall, the humans were curious, they smelled the book. A male human opens the book with his left hand and everybody saw the paper, it had written words on it, the humans look at it but could not read it, they smell it, feel it, and then the same male human licks the page, much to Twilight Sparkle's bewilderment. The human tells the humans non-verbally about the taste of the page, the other humans lick it, they liked it, so the humans rip out the pages and begin eating them, Twilight Sparkle's eyes flew out of their sockets at what she was seeing, she ran to them, "Guys, no, that's not for eating." Twilight Sparkle said as she took the book away from them, she turns to a page and begins to read, "When the rats were moving the house, Jenner cut the ropes and made the cylinder block fall onto Nicodemus and kill him, meanwhile, Mrs. Brisby escaped from her cage after hearing that NIMH was..." Twilight Sparkle said, "Uh, Twilight, I don't think they understand you." Starlight Glimmer said, Twilight Sparkle looks at them and saw the humans were confused by what she was saying, "Okay, do you have any ideas?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Starlight Glimmer could not think of one, "Sorry, but no." Starlight Glimmer said, "Plus, they don't have wings, they can't fly." Spike replied, "That's true, I wonder if there's a way to get them off of the ground." Twilight Sparkle said, "I hope so, come on, I don't think there's anything we can do." Starlight Glimmer replied, "I agree, let's have another one of our friends try." Twilight Sparkle said, and the three left. The humans continue examining the area they live in and were curious and confused, they see a body of water close by, the humans go to it and look at it closely, a female human tries to touch it with her right hand, but her hand goes into the water. The human takes her hand out and looks at it with shock, the humans make grunting sounds while seeing the woman's hand was wet, the woman tries to rub the water off with the grass, but could not, she tries and eventually tries her own outfit and got the water off, much to her relief. An hour passes and Rainbow Dash flew to them, the humans look at her with surprise, "Okay, since you guys are new and don't know anything, I'm going to teach you guys how to be cool. As a Wonderbolt, I am the definition of cool, and I will show you guys how to be cool, too." Rainbow Dash said, the humans were confused. Rainbow Dash flies up and does a sonic rainboom, it scared the humans and they ran into the cave. Rainbow Dash saw became surprised and wondered if it was too loud for them, the humans come out slowly and see Rainbow Dash was still there, she smiled while they looked at her, the humans wondered why she was smiling, she just stood there, the humans were confused, but they slowly went out to her, she smiled as one touched her, she placed her front left hoof on the back of the man's neck, he felt something inside, and it felt good, "Watch this, guys." Rainbow Dash said, and she flew around and did aerial stunts, the humans were in awe, they jump and flap their arms around, but fall, they look and see Rainbow Dash's wings were on her sides, they get on all fours and look at their sides, and realize they did not have wings, they become sad and get back up on their feet, they watch Rainbow Dash and long to fly like her, she finishes and goes down, "Now, that was an act of coolness." Rainbow Dash said, the humans were still sad, Rainbow Dash noticed their facial expressions, "Oh, uh, I'll stop here, see you guys later." Rainbow Dash said, and she flew away, the humans became more sad at seeing her fly, the humans did not do anything for the time. Pinkie Pie dashes to the humans while carrying a cart of party materials, "Turn those frowns upside-down." Pinkie Pie said happily, the humans were confused, "I brought party food!" Pinkie Pie said, and she shows them fruits, cupcakes, cakes, ice cream, chips, dipping sauce, juice, and soda. The humans look at the fruits, one male human's attention was caught, he picks it up with his left hand, it was a banana, he lets out several grunts and the other humans look at it, the males look at the banana with shock and then at their groins, they let out several grunts of horror, they back away while grunting in fear and covering their groins with their hands. Pinkie Pie was bewildered, she did not know how to react, "Come on, guys, it's a banana, meant for eating." Pinkie Pie said, and she pinches the bottom of the banana skin and peels it down, "See?" Pinkie Pie asked, the men come back and another man grabbed it, he grunted while showing the others, he places the banana stem on his groin with the bottom facing up, "What? No, no..." Pinkie Pie said before she let out a scream of shock when the man put the banana on his groin. Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, the dragons, and the dinosaurs watch through a magical screen in their society, they were laughing at the man who had the banana against his groin. The dragons in the Dragon Lands laugh as they watch, Pinkie Pie saw Garble, Princess Ember, and Dragon Lord Torch laughing, along others. Pinkie Pie shows them that the banana was meant to be eaten, she shown them how, the humans realize what to do, and they tried eating the food she brought, the humans enjoyed it, but they did not know what to do with the dipping sauce, Pinkie Pie dipped a chip in it and let them try it, she also showed them how to drink, the humans enjoyed her, Pinkie Pie shook their hands and left. The humans have fun and continue looking at the plants, they smell them and wonder what to do, a man picks one out of the ground and tries to put it back in the ground, but could not, much to his amazement, their abdomens felt uncomfortable, they realized they had to use the bathroom, so they defecate on the grass, the humans pull their pants' back up and their butts become itchy and uncomfortable. Rarity comes over with some of her clothes, she has just designed them for the humans, "Over here, darlings, you all certainly cannot wear those brown fur outfits, they are just so hideous, come over here, and wear clothes that have lighter and richer color in them." Rarity said, and the humans go over, they feel the outfits and they were soft, the outfits were made of fur and silk. The humans take the outfits and pull their pants' down again, "Now then, go and..." Rarity said, she screamed out of shock when she saw the humans were wiping their butts with her clothes, Rarity fainted at the sight, the humans finish and give it back to her, the foul stench woke Rarity up, she looks at her outfits and was horrified, "This is the worst possible thing to ever happen! The... worst... possible... thing!" Rarity said, Applejack went to her, "Rarity, I think they only did it on instinct, I mean, they don't seem to have anythin' to wipe their behinds with." Applejack said, "But still, this is the worst... possible... thing!" Rarity replied, Applejack sighed, "Try again, Rarity, and show them how to put clothes on, maybe they'll do it next time." Applejack said, Rarity sighed and left. Applejack walked forward and had seeds with her, "Watch this, y'all, this is how we grow food." Applejack said, and she plants a few seeds, she walks away and comes back while pushing a watering can forward with her snout, "Go on, pick it up." Applejack said, a man tries to copy her and pushes it back with his nose, Applejack laughs a bit, "No, like this." Applejack said, and she holds the handle with her front left hoof and picks it up, she puts it down afterwards, "Go on, give it a try." Applejack said, and one man held the handle with his left hand and picked up the watering can, he makes several noises of surprises and he shows the other humans, they make noises of surprise as well, "Keep waterin' every other day, y'all, and it should grow into a nice plant of corn after a while." Applejack said, and she watched them as the humans took turns using the watering can, there was enough water to use it again after the last person watered the ground. Rarity comes back with new clothes, they were made from the same material, "Okay, let's try this again, and do it properly, this better be worth it." Rarity said to herself, and she lets out a whistle, the humans go to her, she teachers them how to put clothes on, the humans become surprised and try it, they did not know what to think about her clothing, but they got hot and began to sweat. Rarity chuckled, "You all forgot to take your old outfits off, these are not meant to be worn with another pair of clothing under them." Rarity said, and she helped the humans take their clothes off and put her outfits back on, the humans were much more comfortable, they did just wore the lavish outfits, the humans saw them as just clothing, no different from their old outfits. Rarity smiled and was happy, "Applejack was right, this was worth it, I'll be back with more, darlings." Rarity said, and she left. The humans continue getting on with their days until they heard animals, they look and saw Fluttershy coming over, "Come meet the other animals, everybody." Fluttershy said, but the humans were scared of them, especially of the big animals, "Don't be scared, they're all very friendly." Fluttershy said, and she orders the animals to go to them, they cuddle with the humans, the men and women were surprised, they did not know what to do, "Pet them, like this." Fluttershy said, and she showed them how, the humans pet the animals, they become happy and rub their heads against them, the humans tried the same thing, which made Fluttershy smile a bit, the animals enjoyed the humans, they were enamored by the flying bugs, they thought they were beautiful. The humans play with the pets until the sun began to set, "I have to go now, everyone, till next time." Fluttershy said, and she and the animals left, the humans felt tired and went to sleep. The next day comes and the humans stretch and yawn, they look at the rock and get on their knees', they begin moving their upper bodies up and hit the ground with their hands as they went back down, the creatures look at them with a confused look. King Thorax leads his changelings to go see them, "Uh, guys?" King Thorax asked, the humans look and see him, Ocellus, and the changelings, "What are you guys doing?" King Thorax asked, the humans become curious and walk towards the changelings, they look at them with surprise, they feel the changelings with curiosity. A male changeling gets an idea and he changes into a human, much to the surprise of the humans, they try to change but could not, they became sad, "Oh no, they're sad again." Ocellus said, "They can't change like how we can." King Thorax replied, "What do we do, then?" a female changeling asked, "Don't change, it upsets them that they can't." King Thorax replied, and they do, they just greet the humans and try to play with them, they also see the changelings can fly, which also made them sad, so did their ability to shoot beams out of their horns, the humans were starting to wonder what unique powers they had. The griffons came over shortly afterwards, "You guys are the new ones, we can teach ya a few things, for a few bits." Grampa Gruff said, the humans were confused, "Do... you... guys... speak?" Gallus asked, the humans were confused, and did not understand them, "I'll take that as a no." Gallus said, the humans were sad at seeing them fly, but they also see they had beaks, they felt their own mouths and realized they did not have beaks, "What a bunch of idiots." Gilda said, the other griffons agreed, the humans also tried to walk on all fours like them, it hurt their backs, so they stand up, "Ah, this is hopeless, let's just go." Grampa Gruff said, and the griffons flew away. An hour passes and the dragons walk to them, "Look at these dweebs, they look weak." Garble said, the other dragons snicker, and he punches one, the man tries to fight back but Garble was too strong physically, he began attacking the humans and they felt physical pain for the first time, they began to cry a bit, "Stupid little crybabies." Garble said in a mockful tone, he continued to physically attack them until Volvox intervened and threw him out of the country with his telekinesis, Garble screamed as he landed head-first into the ground in the Dragon Lands. Dragon Lord Torch arrives to the humans and the humans were surprised, they look at Dragon Lord Torch and then at the big rock in their land, "What? There's more of me in that rock?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, the other dragons were confused as well, "What are you guys doing?" Princess Ember asked, the humans continued bowing and paying their respects to Dragon Lord Torch, "Let's just go." Dragon Lord Torch said, the other dragons agreed and left in confusion, "Well, that was weird, they're actually worshiping us." Smolder said, "Yeah, I wonder why." Spike replied, and they left the humans. About fifteen minutes pass and the hippogriffs come over, "Wow, this is so exciting, I finally get to meet the people." Silverstream said, "I'm excited, too, let's see them." Princess Skystar replied, and they land and walk to them, the humans see they had wings as well, which saddened them, "Watch this, guys." Terramar said, and his necklaces changes him to a seapony, the humans were sad again, since they remember they cannot transform. Terramar swims around in the water, the humans decide to try and enter the water, they realize they can swim, but went back up when they eyes and noses felt uncomfortable, they inhale and exhale deeply. The hippogriffs watch them and wonder what to do, "I believe we should try to see if they have magic." General Seaspray said, "If they have any, it doesn't look like they do." Sky Beak replied, "Yeah, I agree, I don't think they have any magic." Ocean Flow said, "Well, too bad for them, I guess they'll just have to live with it." Queen Novo replied, and they try to teach the humans a few things, one of them was playing trumpets, the humans realize they can, much to their happiness, "Oh, we found something." Silverstream said, and she leads the humans to Canterlot, "Look, stairs!" Silverstream said, the humans look at it and feel it, the ponies watch them with surprise, they go back and the hippogriffs leave, the humans were happy to find something they can do. The yaks went back shortly afterwards and the humans were still scared of them, "It's okay, yak come in peace." Prince Rutherford said, "Yona have something to show people." Yona said, and begins stomping on wood to break it, the humans try but were not strong enough, the yaks decide to show the humans how to braid hair, the humans try but have trouble, they got the hang of it after a few tries, the humans undid their braids afterwards, "Maybe people not comfortable with braid." Yona said, "Give people time, braided hair take time to get used to." Prince Rutherford said, the yaks let the humans get on their backs and run around, the humans were scared instead of excited, so the yaks let them down, the humans were still a bit scared by how big they were, "Maybe we should come back another time." Prince Rutherford said, the yaks agreed and they left. The humans had mixed feelings about the world's natives, their appearances scared them, their magic and flying abilities made them sad that they do not have it as well, they were also sad to not have the yak's strengths, while they worshiped Dragon Lord Torch, the humans go into the caves and sleep while the sun set. Princess Luna enters the dream realm and checks the humans, "Let's see here, what kind of dreams do you people have?" Princess Luna asked, and she sees it, she sees the humans were not dreaming of anything, "Wow, I thought they would have an actual dream, I guess they're still too young." Princess Luna said, and she works in the dream realm while she watches the humans in case one does dream, they did not, she finishes her duties and the sun began to rise. Everycreature visits the human the next day and they share their culture and customs with the humans, they watered the plants like how Applejack taught them, the world's natives were especially confused on why they bowed and paid their respects to Dragon Lord Torch, "Uh, why do you guys worship him for?" Sugar Belle asked, the humans did not answer, "There has to be a reason, I doubt they'd just worship him at random." Cheerilee said, she looks and saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders playing with the humans, the humans saw Scootaloo could not fly, even though she had wings, they wondered why, and watched her, "It's no use, guys, I can't fly." Scootaloo said, the humans then went back to worshiping Dragon Lord Torch, the other rulers stepped in front of them, "Don't forget about us." Twilight Sparkle said, but they only continued to worship Dragon Lord Torch, "I don't understand, why are they bowing to Dragon Lord Torch?" Princess Cadence asked, "Maybe because I am the biggest ruler." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Well, they should bow to me, I'm the current dragon lord." Princess Ember said, "I wonder about that, too, I wonder if that big rock over there has something in it." Princess Celestia replied, "I doubt it, if there's anything, it's probably bugs living under it." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, come on, Twilight, you did see you want to teach them how to read." Starlight Glimmer said, and they show the humans the books again, Twilight Sparkle and the others teach the humans how to read and write, Spike was the main one on teaching them how to write, the other creatures got them to make sounds with their mouths as a start to make them learn how to speak. Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom watch them through a magic screen along with the dragons and dinosaurs in Volvox's society, "I guess they do learn quickly." Tom said, "I wouldn't be sure on that, learning a new language and how to read takes time." Dommiel replied, "Agreed, let's see how long it takes them." Volvox said, "Now that I think about it, it's almost your birthday, emperor." Tom said, "Yeah, I hope those humans give me a good gift." Volvox replied, "What do you want, emperor?" Dommiel asked, "Personally, some kind of sword or other bladed weapon." Volvox replied, "Well, you can always tell them how to make them." Tom said, "Let them figure out on their own, I have received telepathic orders from the Maker not to interfere with their development." Volvox replied, "Well, sucks for them, we'll just have to wait for them to develop, however long that takes." Dommiel said, "Probably forever, let's just get on with our days, watching them is boring." Tom replied, the others agreed and Volvox makes the magic screen go down and the dinosaurs and dragons in Volvox's society get on with their days while Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom go back into their pyramids. The world's natives continue teaching the humans how to speak, read, and write, they had trouble, "Twilight, they look tired, you should let them take a break." Princess Celestia said, "Okay, everyone, break time, go on and rest." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans did not know what to do, so Twilight Sparkle showed them what she meant, the humans realized what it was, they were happy and laid down on the grass, much to the shocks of the natives, "No, darlings, we sleep in beds." Rarity said, and she used her magic to make small ones appear, the other creatures put them in the beds, they felt comfortable, "See, darlings, that's more comfortable now, isn't it?" Rarity asked, and the humans quickly fell asleep, the world's natives laugh and leave them be, the humans slept through the night, much to the world's natives surprises. Three days pass and it was Volvox's birthday, he taught the humans telepathically because he, Dommiel, Tom, the dinosaurs, and dragons in his society were getting bored of watching them learn, and wanted to speed things up a bit. It was afternoon and Pinkie Pie brought cupcakes, the humans take the cupcakes to the big rock, it opens up a bit and Volvox took it in with his telekinesis and closed the space. The humans stood back and watched with great anticipation, but the plate with the cupcakes flies out of the top of the rock, it fixed itself while the plate and cupcakes fell onto the ground, much to the humans' shocks, the world's natives look at them when they heard the loud noise, "I do not like this gift." Volvox said from inside the big rock that covered his entire society, his loud and booming voice shocked the world's natives. Princess Celestia shoots a beam from her horn at the rock to blow it apart, they came apart and the world's natives saw Volvox's society, with a big black wall that was big enough to hide the dinosaurs and dragons, along with black double doors at the front, and three dark gold pyramids that looked like El Castillo. The humans go to the walls and double doors and they get on their knees' and begin moving up and down while their hands hit the ground, the world's natives look at them while Princess Celestia flies to the walls and goes over them to look, she saw the dinosaurs and dragons in there, "Excuse me." Princess Celestia said, the dinosaurs and dragons look at her, "Who's in charge here?" Princess Celestia asked, the dragons and dinosaurs look at the three pyramids, Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom did not come out, Princess Celestia was skeptical, she flew to the pyramids and looked at them, "Come out, I wish to have a few words with you all." Princess Celestia said, the humans grunted and made noises of worry outside, Princess Celestia turned around and shook their heads at her while scared, so she flew to them, the other creatures went to them, "Is something bad in those pyramids?" Silverstream asked, the humans shook their heads frantically, "Is there someone we will anger?" Ocellus asked, the humans nodded, "Is it the princess?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the humans shook their head, the women pointed to the men, "A male?" Smolder asked, the humans nodded, "So we will anger the prince?" Gallus asked, the humans shook their heads and tried to use their hands to tell them the person is a higher rank, "A king?" Sandbar asked, the humans shook their heads and did the same sign language to tell them the person's rank is even higher than king, "Uh, what comes after king?" Yona asked, "Yak not know." Prince Rutherford replied, "Is it an emperor?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the humans nod, shocking the humans, "Father, look." Princess Ember said, and Dragon Lord Torch sees the dragons in Volvox's society, "No wonder why they worship you, they've got dragons of their own." Princess Ember said, the humans see Dragon Lord Torch and start worshiping him again, "Heh, it seems I have some new allies." Dragon Lord Torch said, "They're allies with all of us, Torch." Princess Celestia replied, the humans continue bowing to Dragon Lord Torch, the other rulers stood by Dragon Lord Torch so the humans would bow to them as well, the humans stop and the world's natives keep teaching them until they went back to their native countries. The humans built a catapult out of sticks that Twilight Sparkle and Doctor Whooves taught them how to build, they put a rock on it and set the plants and vines off, the rock was shot into Volvox's society, much to their fears, the rock hits Volvox's pyramid. The pyramid to the humans' right makes a loud sound, the top bursts open and Tom climbs out of it, the world's natives see him and were shocked by how big he was. Tom jumps down and begins walking to the double doors. The double doors open and Tom walks out with other theropods around him, the humans begin bowing to him, "That's enough, get up on your feet, guys." Tom said, the world's natives look at him with surprise, "Which one of you shot the rock?" Tom asked, the humans look at one another, he looks and sees the catapult, "So all of you shot it?" Tom asked, the humans did not respond, "Just respond to me, guys, if you don't, the other two will get involved, and they deliver harsher punishments than I do." Tom said, the humans responsible step forward, "Alright then, naturally, you guys' punishment is fix the pyramid, get it done, and don't cause any more havoc, come on now." Tom said, and the humans follow the dinosaurs into the kingdom and the double doors. The men and women who damaged Volvox's pyramid work while the dinosaurs and dragons in Volvox's society gave them the supplies, the humans just had to put it in place and use glue to make it stick, the humans finish and it was almost dark, they go out through the double doors and back to the humans, it was dark, so they went to sleep. Four days pass and the humans were developing reading and speaking skills quickly due to Volvox telling them how to do it telepathically, he was bored watching them learn, the world's natives were surprised as well, "Wow, I'm surprised you all learned quickly." Twilight Sparkle said, "We have sources." a man replied, the men feel their faces and had something on them, "You all have hair on your faces." a woman said, Rarity chuckles, "It's alright, dears, it's normal, my father can teach you all how to shave." Rarity said, "Alright, like this." Hondo Flanks said, and he shows them how to shave and groom with a safety razor, the men decide to shave off all of their facial hair since it was itchy and uncomfortable, the men then felt irritation on their skins, Hondo Flanks takes them to the water and has the men wash their faces in it, their faces felt comfortable, "See, that's all there is to it." Hondo Flanks said, and the humans keep learning about the culture and customs of the other creatures, the humans begin to fuse the world's cultures and customs into one to form their own culture and customs. The humans continue watching the world's natives and felt sad, they did not have magic like the unicorns, alicorns, or changelings, they could not fly like the Pegasi, dragons, griffons, changelings, or hippogriffs, they could not walk on clouds like the Pegasi, they did not have the strength of the earth ponies, dragons, or yaks, could not breathe fire like the dragons, could not transform like the changelings and hippogriffs, and could not breathe underwater like the hippogriffs, the humans were sad. The humans go to the wall around Volvox's society and they pray, Tom comes out of his pyramid and jumps down, the doors open and Tom walks out with dinosaurs behind him, "What is it now?" Tom asked, "We too, want special powers." a woman replied, "Guys, we don't have powers, either." Tom said, "But you all have higher physical capabilities." a man replied, "That comes with our species, we don't have any powers, neither do the dragons." Tom said, "Please, Prince Tom, we'd like to have your strength." a woman replied, "Uh, it doesn't work that way, guys, I can't enchant." Tom said, "What about the king?" a man asked, the pyramid to the left bursts open at the top and Dommiel came out, the world's natives were surprised to see him, he was about the same height as Dragon Lord Torch, but much more slender, and had horns the protruded from the top of his head instead of the sides. Dommiel flies out while his dragons were behind him, "I cannot enchant, either." Dommiel said, "But you can fly, King Dommiel." a woman replied, "It's a species trait, we don't have powers, either." Dommiel said, "You guys cannot breathe fire?" a man asked, "That's also a species trait, not a power." Dommiel replied, the humans were surprised, while they were sad they did not have anything when compared to the other creatures, they were relieved to know they were not the only ones without powers. Orange auras appear around the humans as they float, they were surprised, "Here, have some of my powers, but don't go overboard with it." Volvox said from within his pyramid, Princess Celestia recognized his voice and flew to his pyramid, "Excuse me, I would like for you to show yourself." Princess Celestia said, "I have no reason to come out right now." Volvox replied, "Yes, you do, we need to talk, one of my citizens made that gift you threw out the other day." Princess Celestia said, "So?" Volvox asked, "I would like for you to apologize to her, it took her a lot of time and work to make that." Princess Celestia replied, "I'll do it when I have the time, I'm a bit busy right now." Volvox said, "Doing what?" Princess Celestia asked, "Trying to contact the god who made those people there." Volvox replied, "Oh, I see, just make sure you apologize to my citizen." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away. Volvox has been trying to get in contact with the Maker so he can ask why it made the humans have no powers and physically weaker than the others, he has had no luck so far. The humans decide to try Volvox's powers, a man lifts his right hand up and fire came out of the ground, it was orange, the humans were surprised, another man holds his left hand out and shot fire out, a woman felt something powerful in her and she held her arms up, the humans watch and a fifteen foot tall black skeleton appears with fire around him and between his bones. The humans become surprised and another man makes black skulls with orange fire on it float in midair, the ponies become shocked at this and Princess Celestia obliterates the flaming skeletons with fire from the sun, "What is this power?" a man asked, "The power to control the flames of Hell, itself, it is called hellfire." Volvox replied, the humans were excited. Princess Ember flew to them, "Let's see how strong it really is." Princess Ember said, and she breathed fire out, a human shot hellfire out of his left hand, it remained at a stalemate with Princess Ember's fire, "Wow, that's actually pretty strong." Princess Ember said, and she flew away while happy. The humans continue playing around with the hellfire until the clouds above them spun in a counterclockwise formation and took their powers away, "Volvox, you idiot, what did you do?" the Maker asked with a male voice and a female voice in unison, surprising the world's natives, the three pyramids burst open and Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom came out, the world's natives were extremely shocked at Volvox's size, "I told you telepathically not to intervene with their development." the Maker said, "Well, they did beg." Volvox replied, "Beg or not, you are not to interfere with them unless they need a tool or something to survive." the Maker said, "What about the rest of these guys?" Volvox asked, "What?" the Maker asked, it sees the world's natives, "Who brought them here?" the Maker asked, "I did." Doctor Whooves replied as he walked to them, "Wait, what are you doing here, you're not in your proper time." the Maker said, "Please, Maker, it was an accident." Doctor Whooves replied, "I don't care, you messed up their development." the Maker said, "I'm working on an experiment to send them back." Doctor Whooves replied, "You better, or I'll kill you, myself." the Maker said, "Excuse me." Princess Celestia said as she flew to the Maker, "I do not appreciate you threatening one of my subjects." Princess Celestia said, "Your title as ruler means nothing to me." the Maker replied, the ponies were shocked, "The humans are not happy with being weaker than the others, Maker." Tom said, "I made them like that on purpose." the Maker replied, "Why?" Dommiel asked, "By being weaker and having no powers or magic, they will use nature and technology to develop and be on equal terms with the others." the Maker replied, "How about the fact you made them stupid?" Volvox asked, "That was so they could develop their own ways of living by adapting to their surroundings." the Maker replied, "Then you can at least make some animals for them to hunt, they look hungry from just the plants and confectioneries around here." Tom said, Fluttershy became extremely horrified at hearing the humans eating animals, "That's because these stupid natives here messed up their development." the Maker replied, the world's natives were offended, "You made the humans stupid as well." Dommiel said, "It was so they can learn by experience and develop." the Maker replied, "What if that experience ends up killing them?" Volvox asked, "Then those who survive can learn from that dead person." the Maker replied, "Why did you make them so dumb in the first place?" Tom asked, "Experiment, to see if physically weak and stupid can survive in the harsh world." the Maker replied, "And if they all die?" Dommiel asked, "Then I create a new species, with different abilities and levels of intelligence." the Maker replied, the world's natives were angry with him, "What?" the Maker asked, "I understand the need to research and study, but research involving someone dying is not okay." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Watch your tongue, my power is to be feared." the Maker said, "That does not give you the right to treat others disrespectfully." Princess Celestia replied, "When you have the powers I have, you don't need to treat anyone with respect." the Maker said, Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, their dinosaurs, their dragons, and the world's natives were getting angry with the Maker, "Uh, Maker?" a male human asked, "Be silent, you idiot, you humans have no say in this." the Maker replied, the world's natives were getting angry with the Maker, "What do you plan to do with them?" Volvox asked, "Just watch them develop." the Maker replied, "Then begone, and let the humans develop, or I will raise my society and all of Hell against you." Volvox said, "Very well." the Maker replied, and the clouds stopped spinning. The humans try to use Volvox's powers but see they were gone, much to their dismay, "We'll be in our pyramids, talk to Tom if you all have any problems." Volvox said to the humans and they go back in, Princess Celestia flew back to her palace and went on with her day. The next day comes and the world's natives try to establish relationships with Volvox, "Volvox, if possible, I would like for my country to have a good relationship with yours." Princess Celestia said, "Well, I'm not sure about this, my people wish to stay neutral with all countries." Volvox replied, "I noticed, and I understand the desire to be neutral, but I would still like for our countries to have peaceful relationships so we do not go to war with one another." Princess Celestia said, "What do you humans say?" Volvox asked, they nod, "Alright, I'll let us be friends." Volvox said, "Thank you, Volvox, it really makes my subjects relieved as well." Princess Celestia replied, "Well, if the humans are going to try have a peaceful relationship with anyone, it'll be that big dragon first." Volvox said, "I noticed that, too, but Torch isn't Dragon Lord anymore, they'll have to speak to Ember instead." Princess Celestia replied, the humans were confused, "That's me, guys." Princess Ember said as she flew to them, the humans recognized her and pointed to her as they nodded to one another, much to Princess Ember's confusion, "Uh, what are you guys doing?" Princess Ember asked, the humans mumble to one another, "Well, I won't be doing much, nothing really happens in my society." Volvox said, "I know, but I'll let you know if I need you for something." Princess Celestia replied, and she flew away, Volvox went back into his pyramid. The humans had a good relationship with every country, even though their relationship with Griffonstone was a bit strained, while Volvox's society only interacted with Equestria and the Dragon Lands, they were neutral with the other countries. Twilight Sparkle watched the humans develop, "Why don't those guys let you all into their walls?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Because they can't see us at certain views, we're out here so they don't end up stepping on us by mistake." a man replied, "Oh, that's nice of them, but maybe you guys can ask them to give you guys rides on their backs." Twilight Sparkle said, "No." the dinosaurs and dragons in Volvox's society replied, "What? Why not?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's uncomfortable." a female dragon replied, "Yeah, and it makes it harder for us to move." a male tyrannosaurus said, "Why didn't you guys let them in during the blizzard?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Same reason, they didn't want to step on us and kill us by mistake." a woman replied, Twilight Sparkle realized Volvox and his people did have good intentions, but she saw signs of it doing more harm than good, "I see, well, let's continue studying." Twilight Sparkle said, and she continued teaching the humans how to read, the humans experienced joy while learning. The humans begin to form their own culture and were beginning to read, they also began building, they made beds out of leaves, and began using rocks to make weapons to protect themselves. The Maker was not liking how the humans were developing, so it made a baby appear, the humans look at it, and hold it out to Volvox's society. Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom come out of their pyramids and jump down, Volvox shook the ground. The double doors open and the three walk out, "What?" Volvox asked, the humans show them the baby, "Uh, that's nothing special, guys." Dommiel said, "What?" a male human asked with confusion, "It's just a baby." Tom replied, Pinkie Pie dashed to stand beside the humans' lefts and gasped, "Just a baby? Just a baby?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "Uh, yeah, there's hundreds of babies." Dommiel replied, "No! All babies are special!" Pinkie Pie said, the three look at one another and shrug, "Uh, what do we do?" a female human asked, "You have to take care of the baby." Volvox replied, the humans look at one another, "How do we do that?" a male human asked, Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom grumble while Volvox shook his three heads, Dommiel slapped his own face with his right hand, and Tom looked at them with shock, "This species is doomed." Dommiel said, "You can say that again." Volvox replied, "Well, maybe if you guys taught them, they wouldn't be." Twilight Sparkle said from close by, "Since the baby was created by the Maker, all of you are parents." Volvox said, the men and women look at one another, "How do we take care of the baby?" a male human asked, "The females have to breastfeed it." Dommiel replied, the women become surprised, and took their shirts off to breastfeed the baby, "Only one is required, ladies, so take turns." Tom said, and they do, "They're lucky we got transferred here." Volvox said, "Yeah, I didn't think they'd be this stupid." Tom replied, "Ahem." Princess Celestia said, the three look and saw her flying to them, she flew in front of them and flapped her wings while she stayed in the air, "They are not stupid, they are naive and ignorant, being stupid would mean they would act like that, despite knowing better." Princess Celestia said, "That's still called stupid in our world." Tom replied, "Well, learn your proper vocabulary, calling someone such is very offensive." Princess Celestia said, and she flew back to her palace. The humans take care of the baby while Pinkie Pie hosts a party and sings for the baby, it had fun, "Oh right, ma'am, I'm sorry I threw your gift out the other day." Volvox said, "It's okay, I can always try again next year." Pinkie Pie replied, Volvox saw that as unlikely, he believed his people will be back home way before his birthday comes again, "Aw." three female voices said, Pinkie Pie saw Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle walking over, they were wearing the winter outfit Rarity made for them, "Why are you three wearing that for?" Pinkie Pie asked, "We thought we'd give it a try." Scootaloo replied with her voice muffled, the humans look at it and thought it looked hot and uncomfortable, "This is actually a bit warm." Apple Bloom said with her voice muffled, "Yeah, it's not hot at all." Sweetie Belle said with her voice muffled, "Oh, Rarity, it looks like her taste for fashion has led her to designing an impractical outfit, again." Pinkie Pie replied, the Cutie Mark Crusaders agreed and they went to see the baby, they took their outfits off and the baby looked at them and tried to reach out to them, the three just walked forward and let the baby touch them, it was happy. The rest of the Mane Six come over and the Young Six came over shortly afterwards, they look at the baby with awe, "It's so cute." Silverstream said as she looked at it, and they admired the baby. Three days pass with nothing in particular happening, the clouds above spin counterclockwise, "Where is that horse at?" the Maker asked, "Which one?" Volvox asked, "That stupid doctor that brought you guys here." the Maker replied, Doctor Whooves walked to them, "What is it?" Doctor Whooves asked, "Are you done creating your device to send my people back home?" the Maker asked, "Can't you do it, yourself?" Doctor Whooves asked, "You brought them here, you send them back, that is your punishment for bringing them here and making these people interfere with their development." the Maker replied, "When do you want to go back?" Doctor Whooves asked, "At least by tomorrow." the Maker replied, "Alright, I'm working on it, I'm almost done." Doctor Whooves said, "Good, now get to it." the Maker replied, and Doctor Whooves left. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs teach them a few things, the humans find a book on how to make makeshift wings from sticks and leaves, they work all day and night to make it. The next day comes and a male human tests out the wings, he was flying, but very low, the humans made more and began flying around a bit, Twilight Sparkle was very surprised by what she saw and she trotted to them, "Wow, I can't believe you guys built something so quickly." Twilight Sparkle said as the humans glided, they were almost touching the ground, the Pegasi and Silverstream went over and pulled them up to have them fly higher, they see the baby was tightly strapped to one woman, the baby giggled happily. Doctor Whooves trotted to the humans, "Okay, the device is done, I can send you all back home." Doctor Whooves said, and the ponies and Silverstream got behind him. Doctor Whooves activates the device and the world's natives say bye to them while the humans waved, the device activates and they were sent back, "Hey, the guys in the wall didn't say goodbye." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, it's too late now." Starlight Glimmer replied, and they all just looked at where they used to be, wondering how they will be back at home. Volvox and his society, along with the humans, arrive back home, the Maker makes the ice age start again while Volvox makes the rock appear around his kingdom, the humans did not develop as the Maker planned, but it went on with it anyway, they developed a lot faster than the Maker anticipated, and they were at the top of the food chain as soon as the other fauna were created, Volvox watched them develop and smiled, he stayed in his society and helped out however he could. The humans wait for the ice age to end and they see the corn was starting to grow, they were happy and soon grew more, and they eventually found out how to make babies, and take care of them, the humans grew until they controlled all of the planet. AncientVolvox was created at the start of time by the Maker and he became very powerful, the gods were created next, and then the angels and demons, then the monsters, next were the plants and animals, and lastly, the humans were created. The humans were not as powerful as the other creatures, but were more adaptable and resourceful, the humans proved to be formidable, and created their own society. Volvox eventually formed an alliance with the humans, and he lived with them, along eight more powerful beings, so pyramids were created for the deities to stay in and the humans would worship them on their birthdays. Volvox had the biggest pyramid, it was in the center, the pyramid to his right was used to worship Typhon, the pyramid to Volvox's left had Vishnu in it, the pyramid to Typhon's right had Zeus, the pyramid to Zeus' right had Odin, and the pyramid to Odin's right had Huitzilopochtli, the pyramid to Vishnu's left had Amun, the pyramid to Amun's left had Lucifer, and the pyramid to Lucifer's left had Bishamonten. Volvox and Typhon had people with them in their pyramids, Volvox had Dommiel, a demon who acted as his personal bodyguard, and his two pet birds, Phoenix and Thunderbird, Typhon had his children, they were Cerberus, Orthrus, the Nemean Lion, the Hydra, Chimera, Sphinx, the Colchian Dragon, Ladon, and the Caucasian Eagle. The humans had a king, his name was Tom, he was believed to be a child of Zeus and Hera, and thus, a god, which caused a conflict in the society to rise with a man named Jesus, who was believed to be the Son in the Trinity, he and Tom did not get along. The humans lived in a city, on an island, there were two more islands, one to the northeast, and one to the southeast, the northeastern monsters was filled with monsters, they would attack any human who tried to enter the island, while the southeastern island had humans of dark skin, the humans in Volvox's kingdom are originally from there, the humans in Volvox's society went to that island to get slaves and bring them back. The humans on Volvox's island were also known to have gender roles, the men worked, built homes, trained in the military, voted for the government, owned homes and land, and the father of the families had the saying in everything, they also protected their families, while the women cooked, cleaned, danced, played music, and had to be loyal to their husbands, they were all expected to have sons, one advantage to the gender roles was if a family was attacked, only the men got attacked, women were spared, Volvox and the other eight did not come up with slavery and the gender roles, it was created by the humans. Volvox and the other gods watched the humans develop, they were interested in it, they wondered if the humans will remain like this all the time. Amun sensed something off, "What is it, Amun?" Odin asked, "I'm sensing a demon in the southeastern island, it feels like it's going to rise up against us." Amun replied, "I won't be surprised, we did kill Humbaba recently." Zeus said, "Yeah, it's probably his brother." Dommiel replied, "Let it go for now, we've got more slaves coming in." Volvox said, "Shall I prepare the soldiers?" Bishamonten asked, "Let's wait and see how things go." Vishnu replied, the others agreed, "My children are standing by to attack as well." Typhon said, "I'll rally my gods if necessary." Huitzilopochtli said, "The demons will rally if I command it, we should be fine." Lucifer replied, "Let's watch for now, the slave ships should be coming in soon." Volvox said, and they watch. The men wait for the slave ships to come with slaves to take, the dark skinned people get off while in chains and shackles, Tom examined the slaves, "Ah, good, some of them will be good fighters for the games." Tom said, "Just you wait." a male slave said, "Wait for what?" Tom asked, "You all have angered the king of demons, he will rise against you soon." the male slave replied, "It won't help you, get going now." Tom said, and the slave walked past him, the other dark skinned slaves followed him. The slaves were divided by gender, the male slaves would have to do manual labor, while the female slaves will have to cook, clean the house, and dance to entertain the men, the slaves longed to be free. The southwestern wind begins blowing rapidly and everybody became scared, "Is it Fujin?" Dommiel asked, "No, it must be Humbaba's brother." Volvox replied, and the wind blows so hard, it opens a portal and the three islands get sucked in. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs were getting on with their days, but the wind blows hard to the east of Griffonstone and the Dragon Lands, it stops and Volvox's island appeared, so did the other two islands, Volvox's island was in the water, to the southeast of Griffonstone, and northeast of the Dragon Lands. The dragons and griffons look at the place, Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff become shocked, "Wait, no, no, that better not be the place I think it is." Dragon Lord Torch said, "What's wrong, father?" Princess Ember asked, "Before the dragons came to this world, we were on an island with other creatures, the island southwest to that island was ruled by this giant Cerberus-like creature named Volvox, he and I didn't get along well." Dragon Lord Torch replied, Princess Ember looked on with concern; "Wait, that place looks familiar." Grampa Gruff said, "You know it, Grampa Gruff?" Gabby asked, "I think I do, before the griffons came to this world, we were on an island with other creatures, there were two more islands, one to the south of that island, and another one to the southwest, the island to the southwest was ruled by a creature named Volvox, he's like Cerberus, but bigger, and his body is three different things, his right head and right half of his body are gray and skeletal, his left head and left half of his body are literally made out of black shadows with his claws and eyes being red, and his center head, spine, and tail are pink and parasitic-like, with yellow organic bladed seven pointed stars on his spine, and a yellow organic tip on his tail, he controls the flames of Hell itself, stronger than regular fire." Grampa Gruff replied, shocking Gabby, "So, we're not natives to this world?" Gilda asked, "No, but we're not the only foreigners here, the dragons are also from that island, we didn't get along with Volvox, so when we came to this world, we erased all documents of us coming from another world, it was to forget that time of our history, since it was not a good time for us." Grampa Gruff replied, Gabby and Gilda were surprised, they all look and watch the three islands. Volvox, Typhon, Vishnu, Zeus, Amun, Odin, Lucifer, Huitzilopochtli, Bishamonten, Dommiel, Tom, Jesus, Cerberus, Orthrus, the Nemean Lion, the Hydra, Chimera, Sphinx, the Colchian Dragon, Ladon, the Caucasian Eagle, the citizens, the slaves, and the other monsters look at the dragons and griffons, they recognized them, "Wait a minute, they're originally from our world." Zeus said, "Hey, they are, now that you mention it." Huitzilopochtli replied, and they see the dragons and griffons getting closer, the humans aim their bows and arrows at them, causing the dragons and griffons to stop coming forward, "It really is Volvox's people, just my luck." Dragon Lord Torch said, "You can say that again, Torch, Volvox and I didn't get along, either." Grampa Gruff replied, the dragons and griffons look at one another with surprise, "Wait, the griffons are from there, too?" Princess Ember asked, "What? The dragons also used to serve them?" Gilda asked, "Yes." Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff replied together, surprising the dragons and griffons, but they can see the elder dragons and griffons were not surprised, they were able to realize the elder dragons and griffons were originally from the island that was northeast of Volvox's island, "You should go see them, father." Princess Ember said, "It depends on if Volvox will be happy to see me or not." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Go see him, Grampa Gruff, let's see if he'll welcome us back." a male griffon said, "I'm not too sure about this, but let's give it a try." Grampa Gruff said, and he and Dragon Lord Torch fly to them, the archers were ready to shoot them down, "Stand down, let's see what they want." Volvox said, and the archers did while surprised. Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff fly to the pyramids, "Torch and Gruff, what are you two doing here?" Volvox asked from inside his pyramid, "Just here to see if we'll be welcomed back." Grampa Gruff replied, "The answer's no, you dragons and griffons have turned traitor." Lucifer said from inside his pyramid, "Traitor? More like broke free." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "It doesn't matter, you dragons and griffons left my service, you all are not welcomed back." Volvox said, and Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff flew back, "What do they mean we're traitors?" Princess Ember asked, "Shortly after those people there aligned with them, Volvox and the others were going to that island to the northeast and destroyed homes, the dragons and griffons began serving him to be spared, but we didn't like seeing them have slaves and demanding sacrifices, so we broke away and came here." Dragon Lord Torch replied, shocking the dragons and griffons, "Come on, everybody, let's just get on with our days." Grampa Gruff said, and they do. The Dragon Lands and Griffonstone remain neutral with Volvox and his island, but they all had a sour relationship due to Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff not getting along with Volvox in the past, Dragon Lord Torch watched them while scowling, Princess Ember flew to him, "Father, I'd like to try to bring the hostilities down if possible." Princess Ember said, "No, Ember, let me take care of this, they won't listen to you." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "What? Why not?" Princess Ember asked, "They... have a certain way of dealing with things." Dragon Lord Torch replied, Princess Ember was surprised, "Call Smolder here, we need her, we have something to discuss." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Should I call Spike over as well?" Princess Ember asked, "Well, I guess it's worth a shot, but he must not tell this to his pony friends, they must not come, either, this is dragonkind's problem." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Yes, father." and Princess Ember flew to Ponyville, "I'll be back, everygriffon, I'm going to go get Gallus." Grampa Gruff said and he flew to Ponyville. Twilight Sparkle was teaching at the School of Friendship with Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream present, "Okay, everycreature, since you all are learning to bond, I have a special assignment for you all today, you all are to go out and try to befriend the other ponies in Ponyville." Twilight Sparkle said, the creatures were excited, "Headmare Twilight, Princess Ember and Grampa Gruff are here." Starlight Glimmer said, "Excuse me a minute, everycreature, I'll be right back." Twilight Sparkle said, and she went to her office. Twilight Sparkle sat at her desk with Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack standing to the sides, "What can we do for you guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I need Smolder to come to the Dragon Lands." Princess Ember replied, "Gallus needs to come back to Griffonstone." Grampa Gruff said, "Why?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's a cultural thing." Princess Ember replied, "I have some new rules in Griffonstone to tell everygriffon." Grampa Gruff said, "Wait, Ember, what is this cultural thing?" Applejack asked, "I'm not sure, father didn't go into detail." Princess Ember replied, "You didn't ask him?" Fluttershy asked, "Didn't have the time." Princess Ember replied, "Ooh, ooh, ooh, I know, it must be a festival to celebrate a secret friendship between them." Pinkie Pie said, "I doubt it, Pinkie Pie." Rainbow Dash replied, "One more thing, since this is a cultural thing, Spike has to come as well." Princess Ember said, the ponies gasp, "If Spike's going, I'm going." Twilight Sparkle said, "I'm sorry, but he has to come alone." Princess Ember replied, "I am not letting my little Spikey-Wikey go on his own." Rarity said, "It's alright, guys, Princess Ember is going to be with me, I'll be fine." Spike replied, "You sure, Spike?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes." Spike replied, "Okay, go on, go get Gallus and Smolder, Starlight." Twilight Sparkle said, and Starlight Glimmer trotted out. Starlight Glimmer goes to the Student Six, "Gallus, Smolder, you two are checking out." Starlight Glimmer said, surprising the six, "Wait, for what?" Gallus asked, "Grampa Gruff said he has some new rules to say about Griffonstone." Starlight Glimmer replied, "Oh great, I'm going to have to listen to him ramble on." Gallus said, "What about me?" Smolder asked, "Princess Ember said it's a dragon culture thing." Starlight Glimmer replied, "Dragon culture?" Smolder asked with confusion, "Wait, what exactly is going on?" Sandbar asked, "I don't know, Dragon Lord Ember and Grampa Gruff won't go into detail." Starlight Glimmer replied, "Yona suspicious." Yona said, "Me too." Ocellus replied, "Are you two coming back?" Silverstream asked, "Maybe." Gallus replied, "Probably not." Smolder said, "Come on, you two, let's go." Starlight Glimmer said, and she walks to the office with those two behind her while Sandbar, Ocellus, Yona, and Silverstream watch with suspicion. Princess Ember, Grampa Gruff, Gallus, Smolder, and Spike begin to head east, they stop when they were by the water, "Okay, guys, before we take you, we have something important to say, do not share this with the other creatures." Princess Ember said, shocking Gallus, Smolder, and Spike, "Why not?" Spike asked, "This is a dragonkind and griffonkind problem, getting the other creatures involved will only escalate it." Grampa Gruff replied, "Just what is going on?" Gallus asked, "You'll see soon, Torch and I will explain everything." Grampa Gruff replied, "Well, let's get going, then." Smolder said, and they do. The dragons stand to the north of the Dragon Lands while the griffons stand to the south of Griffonstone, Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff were in front of everydragon and everygriffon, they were all facing east, "Attention, everydragon and everygriffon, Grampa Gruff and I called you here because of a problem that has appeared, but first, some history to explain. Before the dragons and griffons came to this world, we were living on an island, a creature named Volvox was conquering and destroying the homes of other creatures, so the dragons and griffons pledged an alliance to him to be spared from losing our lives, and we served him, Gruff and I never got along with him, and we eventually broke free when one of the gods accidentally opened a magic portal, and came to this world, we lived happily and our own way. We hoped we could keep it that way, but alas, Volvox and his kingdom have appeared once again, to the east of here and Griffonstone, his island and kingdom lies, that is why the dragons and griffons are allying with each other, to fight a common enemy if war between us breaks out." Dragon Lord Torch explained, shocking the young dragons and griffons, "The dragons and griffons did not like Volvox's rule, he had slaves in his kingdom, and believed people should behave certain way based on their genders, that is why we broke free." Grampa Gruff said, shocking the dragons and griffons again, Spike was very shocked, "When we came here, the dragons and griffons destroyed every document of our time living under Volvox's rule, we also destroyed any evidence of us serving under him as well, we didn't want to remember our time of serving under him, it was not a good time for the dragons and griffons." Grampa Gruff said, "We have a sour relationship with Volvox right now, he has deemed us and the griffons traitors, but we did not betray him, we broke away because we did not like the laws of his land, but since he has returned into our lives, the dragons and the griffons are forming an alliance, so we can stand against a common enemy, we will also be making changes to our countries, since me, Gruff, and the elderly dragons and griffons have fought Volvox before, take our advises seriously, we know what we're up against." Dragon Lord Torch said, the young dragons and griffons murmur, "One more thing, this is dragonkind's and griffonkind's problem, so Spike, Smolder, do not tell this to the ponies or other creatures, it will only escalate the problem." Dragon Lord Torch said, "You heard my father, if you tell, Smolder, I'm pulling you out of the school, and as for you, Spike, my father will decide your punishment." Princess Ember said, "Same goes to you, Gallus, you'll be pulled out of the school if you reveal this to the other creatures, this is a dragon and griffon only problem." Grampa Gruff said, "Yes, Grampa Gruff." Gallus replied, "Understood." Smolder said, "I got it." Spike said, "Good, that is all, Gruff and I will watch Volvox, dismissed." Dragon Lord Torch said, and the dragons and griffons leave. The Mane Six were walking together and they hear flying, they see Gallus, Smolder, and Spike coming back, Spike landed while Gallus and Smolder kept flying forward, "Well, what were you called for?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Spike remembers what Princess Ember said and was scared, "It was just to talk about dragon history." Spike replied, "Really? That's amazing. What did you learn?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Just about Torch's reign to when Ember became Dragon Lord, nothing new." Spike replied, "Oh, I see, that's too bad, let's head back home now." Twilight Sparkle said, and they walk together. Gallus and Smolder fly back to their four friends and land, "Well, what was that about?" Sandbar asked, "Meh, just some dumb ol' boring lecture about dragon history." Smolder replied, "Talking about the Blue Moon Festival." Gallus said, "Wow, well, we're studying now, wanna join?" Sandbar asked, and they do. Jesus was sensing something strange and has a vision, he sees many monsters waiting for the ship traveling there, he sees Scylla, Charybdis, Talos, Kraken, Minotaur, Harpies, a Basilisk, a Cockatrice, the Lambton Worm, the Erymanthian Boar, Stymphalian Birds, Catoblepas, the Cyclopes, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa. Jesus sees the traveling ship going to them, he has visions of the ship getting destroyed, along with the crew getting stuck in the water, he becomes shocked and runs to Tom, "Your majesty, a ship heading to the northeastern island is about to be attacked." Jesus said, "You and your visions, you're full of lies." Tom replied, "But, your majesty, my visions and senses of what will happen in the future have never been wrong." Jesus said, "Really now? Let's see if you speak the truth." Tom replied and he goes to the top of his palace and looks to the northeast with a telescope, he sees a ship going there, and the monsters waiting there, "Wait, hold on a minute." Tom said, and he looks at the crew, he notices the crew had light skin color, "Oh, okay, let's send the rescue ships after them." Tom said, and they go. The ship continues heading to the island and the monsters were waiting, Scylla and Charybdis attack first, the men scream as they duck, they get past them, Talos walks forward and stands there, he throws the sword in his right hand at the ship and it splits in half, the men scream as they fall, Talos picks his sword back up and laughs at them. The rescue ships arrive and pull them in and sail back quickly, Jesus ignores it and he sees dark skinned men with wounds on them, he goes to them, the men bow down to him, "Come with me, I run a sanctuary for the slaves." Jesus said, and he leads them, the dark skinned men see other dark skinned people at where Jesus was at, there were women and children there as well, they were all slaves in the kingdom, and treated badly, "Thank you, we feared we would be abused and tortured forever." a male slave said, "I am against slavery and gender roles, here, there is no slave treatment, or gender roles, you all can rest here and do as you please, all children are welcome here." Jesus replied, the slaves become happy and rest in the area while Jesus played with the children and told them stories, he soon has another vision, he saw Princess Ember coming in hopes of easing the tension between Volvox's island and the Dragon Lands, but it was not going to go well, he keeps it in mind while he tends to the slaves. Princess Ember flies to the island while the men worked and the boys played outside, the women were tending to the houses while they taught the girls, "Excuse me." Princess Ember said, and the men looked at her, "I am Princess Ember, I wish to ease up tensions between this island and the Dragon Lands." Princess Ember said, "What are you doing?" a male citizen asked, "I was hoping we could try to befriend one another and not go to war." Princess Ember replied, "No." another male citizen said, "Why not?" Princess Ember asked, "We don't take orders from women." a third male citizen replied, Princess Ember became very shocked, but she soon became enraged, she grits her teeth against one another while her face literally turned red, the humans can hear what sounded like a teapot whistling. Dragon Lord Torch flew down and stood to her right, "See, Ember, in this land, they have this thing called gender roles, females have no power, let your father do the talking." Dragon Lord Torch said, "She's your daughter? Why isn't she in the kitchen, cooking your dinner?" a male citizen asked, the other citizens murmured as well, Princess Ember growled with anger, "Begone, Torch, unless you wish for me to attack you personally." Volvox said from inside his pyramid, "Come on, Ember, let's go." Dragon Lord Torch said, and he and Princess Ember flew out of the country. Grampa Gruff led the young griffons to the easternmost part of Griffonstone, "See that island over there with the other creatures, that's the original home of the dragons and griffons, Volvox and the others serving under him would try to make the creatures serve under them, some obeyed, some resisted, but we gave in because we saw Volvox's army was too big, the dragons gave in as well, since Volvox had Hell under his control as well, Torch and I were kids when we served under Volvox." Grampa Gruff said, "How long ago was this?" Gabby asked, "One thousand five hundred years ago, long before King Grover found the Idol of Boreas." Grampa Gruff replied, surprising the griffons, "Did King Grover serve under Volvox?" Gilda asked, "Of course, he was just a kid, too." Grampa Gruff replied, "So, what was it about Volvox's kingdom the dragons and griffons didn't like?" Gabby asked, "Plenty." Grampa Gruff replied, "Like what?" Gilda asked, "Slavery." Grampa Gruff replied, the young griffons gasped, "Gender roles." Grampa Gruff said, "What's that?" Gilda asked, "You have to behave a certain way because of what your gender is." Grampa Gruff replied, shocking the griffons, "Sacrifices." Grampa Gruff said, "You mean to live in society?" Gabby asked, "No, as in, losing your life, some people in Volvox's kingdom had their lives taken by the nine beings they worship, their sacrifices make their powers stronger, and on certain occasions, animals are sacrificed to them." Grampa Gruff replied, the griffons were very shocked, "It is getting dark, we must rest, but keep an eye on Volvox and his land." Grampa Gruff said, and everycreature rested for the night. Vishnu, Zeus, Amun, Odin, Huitzilopochtli, and Bishamonten feel their powers weakening, "Our powers are going down, we need a sacrifice." Huitzilopochtli said, "Very well, prepare the ritual." Volvox replied, and Vishnu ordered the humans telepathically, four humans gather around a bonfire, they all had a black ball, humans stood by with drums. Princess Luna was in the dream realm and she looks at the dreams of the ponies, "Let's see here, everything looks like normal tonight." Princess Luna said as she looks at the dreams, "Wait, what's this?" Princess Luna asked as she saw Gallus, Smolder, and Spike having strange dreams, she watches them carefully to make sure they do not change to nightmares. The humans begin playing the drums and it wakes up the griffons and dragons, they look and the younger dragons and griffons become shocked when they saw the nine rulers, "Who are those guys?" Princess Ember asked, "Those are the nine rulers, the one in the center is Volvox, the supreme ruler." Grampa Gruff replied, "What about the other eight?" Garble asked, "That's Typhon, Father of All Monsters." Grampa Gruff replied, shocking the younger dragons and griffons when they saw he had one hundred heads, "Vishnu, Hindu god of preserving the world." Grampa Gruff said, "Zeus, Greek god of thunder and the sky." Grampa Gruff said, "Amun, Egyptian god of the sun and the air." Grampa Gruff said, "Odin, Norse god of wisdom, healing, death, royalty, the gallows, knowledge, battle, sorcery, poetry, frenzy, and the runic alphabet." Grampa Gruff said, "Lucifer, Prince of Pride, and one of the rulers of Hell." Grampa Gruff said, the dragons and griffons were kind of scared of him, "Huitzilopochtli, Aztec god of the sun and war." Grampa Gruff said, the dragons and griffons were scared of him, "Bishamonten, Hindu god of warriors." Grampa Gruff said, the dragons and griffons were scared. The humans continue playing the drums while the four humans tossed the ball around while they ran around the fire, the ball eventually began to glow light blue, surprising the dragons and griffons, "What's going on?" Princess Ember asked, "This is a ritual, that ball is a magically enchanted ball, it measures one's spiritual energy, when someone fails to catch the ball, they're out, whoever is the last remaining has the most spiritual energy, they're sacrificed to the gods, the gods take that person's life, absorbs his spiritual energy, and make themselves stronger." Dragon Lord Torch replied, and they keep watching, the ritual goes on for hours, the men were out one by one until only one player remained. He floats up into the air with light blue energy around his body, light blue streams go to Vishnu, Zeus, Amun, Odin, Huitzilopochtli, and Bishamonten, the man is torn into six pieces while the six gods absorb his body and spirit into themselves, returning to full power. The younger dragons and griffons watch with horror while the old dragons and griffons watch stoically, "The sacrifice may be horrifying to you all, but in their culture, being sacrificed is considered an honor, that is why the person did not struggle, he was proud to be sacrificed." Dragon Lord Torch said, the dragons and griffons were still shocked, "Come on, everybody, if we're not going to sleep, let's get some shields up." Grampa Gruff said, confusing the dragons and griffons, "Volvox was always big on creating archers to keep foreigners at bay, and he now has bow and arrows, the dragons and griffons created shields while we served under Volvox, it was to protect us from archers of the other island to the southeast of Volvox's island, we took the shields to this world with us, we're kept them hidden, come on, let's put them up." Dragon Lord Torch said, and they go. The dragons and griffons put up pavises that face Volvox's island in case he does attack them, every dragon and griffon had another pavise to put over their heads, they finish and sleep for the rest of the night. The next day comes and the ponies see the pavises in the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone, Dragon Lord Torch has grown bigger as he got older, so his pavise was now too small for him, and he had to make a new one, "What the?" Twilight Sparkle asked as she saw the pavises, she flew up and saw the other ponies looking, she flew to Princess Celestia, who was on the balcony of Canterlot, "Do you know what's going on, Princess Celestia?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No, I do not, but it doesn't seem the dragons and griffons are becoming friends with one another, those things they put up look very old as well." Princess Celestia replied, "That reminds me, Gallus and Smolder were called out of the school yesterday, so was Spike, I heard it's a cultural thing to the dragons, and Spike learned about dragon history, he didn't go into detail, though." Twilight Sparkle said, "Now, Twilight, I know you want to learn, but you shouldn't press Spike for details, it's possible that what the dragons are doing is something very private and sacred in their culture, and forbidden to share, so if something does happen, let Spike go, and celebrate the customs of his kind." Princess Celestia replied, Twilight Sparkle felt disappointed, she really wanted to learn about what they were doing, but obeyed, "Did Gallus say anything about the griffons?" Princess Celestia asked, "No, I don't know what the griffons are doing." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I see, let's leave them be for now, even though I am curious, myself." Princess Celestia said, Twilight Sparkle looked down, since she cannot learn what they were doing, but she flew back to the School of Friendship. The other creatures look at Griffonstone and the Dragon Lands while they wonder what the pavises were for, "What dragon and griffon doing?" Prince Rutherford asked, the other yaks were also confused, "Do any of you have an idea on what's going on?" King Thorax asked, the changelings shook their heads, "What should we do, your majesty?" General Seaspray asked, "Leave them be, dragon and griffon customs are not our concern." Queen Novo replied, the other countries just went on with their days. Dragon Lord Torch makes himself a new pavise while the elderly dragons and griffons taught the younger ones how to make them, they were made in no time, Dragon Lord Torch finished his after sometime, he and Grampa Gruff got the dragons and griffons together again, "We will attack Volvox." Dragon Lord Torch said, shocking the dragons and griffons, "Wait, Dragon Lord Torch, we were no match for him a thousand five hundred years ago, his army looks bigger now." a male dragon replied, "He's right, attacking him is suicide." a male griffon said, "If we just stand here and do nothing, then Volvox will eventually attack and destroy us, he deems us traitors, and he wants to get rid of traitors as fast as possible." Grampa Gruff replied, "But, how are you guys certain he will attack?" a female dragon asked, "Because if Volvox has not changed, then he will want to take us out as soon as possible." Grampa Gruff replied, "And how do you guys know that?" a male dragon asked, "Because Gruff and I have fought Volvox before, we know what we're up against." Dragon Lord Torch replied, surprising the dragons and griffons, "Wait, before we attack, why don't you two try to see if they're going to attack first?" Princess Ember asked, Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff were surprised, "Let's go, Gruff." Dragon Lord Torch said, and they fly to Volvox's land. Jesus senses something and has a vision of Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff coming, he has another vision of Dragon Lord Torch arguing with Volvox, and Grampa Gruff arguing with Dommiel, "Is something wrong, Jesus?" a female slave asked, "Yes, I was having one of my visions, come on, let's get the other dark skinned folk here, my visions say something bad is about to happen." Jesus replied, and he and the dark skinned people left to go get the other slaves. Tom spots Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff flying over, the archers were ready to fire at them, "Stand down, let's see what they want." Tom said, and the archers do, Volvox comes out of his pyramid, so did Dommiel, he was too far to the east for the other creatures to see him, Volvox used his telekinesis to make himself fly and land in the water, Dommiel made shadow wings appear and flew to the two, "What do you two want?" Volvox asked, "Just wanted to see if we were on peaceful terms." Grampa Gruff replied, "Take a look, yourselves." Dommiel said, and the two see the archers were ready, "Uh-huh! You are planning to attack us!" Dragon Lord Torch said, "I have no patience with traitors, they must be eliminated as soon as possible." Volvox replied, "Since when did we become traitors?" Grampa Gruff asked, "When you all turned against us and ran away." Dommiel replied, Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff have flashbacks, Dragon Lord Torch fought Volvox while Grampa Gruff fought Dommiel, "We turned because we don't like your ways." Dragon Lord Torch said, "That's your own faults, you guys and your prides and greed." Dommiel replied, "At least we don't have slavery!" Grampa Gruff said, "We don't have gender roles and sacrifices, either!" Dragon Lord Torch replied, Volvox and Dommiel were angered, Volvox presses his center head against Dragon Lord Torch's head while Dommiel pressed his head against Grampa Gruff's head, they push the heads back while they let out loud grunts of anger. The ponies and hippogriffs were minding their own businesses until they hear the grunts all the way to the east, they shrug and get on with their days. Dragon Lord Torch presses on his head on Volvox's center head while he did the same, and Grampa Gruff pressed his head against Dommiel's head, the Dragon Lands, Griffonstone, Volvox's island, and the other two islands watch them. Several male dragons and griffons fly over to break it up, "That's enough, guys, let's step back and take a deep breath." a male dragon said, "This means war." Volvox said, "Very well." Dragon Lord Torch replied, and Volvox and Dommiel flew back. The dragons and griffons fly back to their respective countries, "We have to attack now, Volvox was planning to use his archers to fire arrows at us, Torch and I were right, he hasn't changed at all." Grampa Gruff said, shocking the griffons, "We must attack now, or Volvox will kill us all and destroy our land by dark, do not bring Smolder or Spike here, the last thing we need is more creatures getting involved, it will only make things worse, come on, we must attack now." Dragon Lord Torch said, and the dragons and griffons fly to the east. Volvox had his entire army ready, Typhon's children were ready to attack, Odin called the Valkyries to help, Lucifer summoned his demons, Bishamonten was ready to fight, and Tom was leading the front troops from the rear. The dragons and griffons begin flying over and Tom orders his archers to shoot at the dragons and griffons, but they wore old armor that they developed while under Volvox's rule, the arrows did not do much. Zeus throws a lightning bolt at the dragons and griffons, but it misses them, "Everyone, do not use your strongest weaponry, we're just trying to hold them off for now." Volvox said, and the humans just fire a little arrows. The dragons and griffons keep flying forward, it was not doing much, so Odin ordered his Valkyries to attack them, they ride their horses in the air and throw spears at the dragons and griffons, they all fly around to dodge them, while some of the dragons caught the spear and threw it back at them, surprising Odin, "Okay, that didn't work, try the demons." Volvox said, and Lucifer orders them to attack with a hand gesture. The demons fly to them and try to wrestle the griffons, since the dragons were too big, the griffons were able to hold them off and knock into the water, they flew back and shook their heads. Volvox tries to look past them and sees several dragons and griffons in the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone, "Archers, ignore them, shoot the arrows into their countries." Volvox said, the dragons and griffons become shocked, they quickly fly back while the archers get ready. The dragons and griffons fly back and get their young, they hide behind the pavises, they all get a second pavise and hold it in their hands' and feathers, they put it over their heads. The humans shoot the arrows to the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone, there were so many arrows, it blocked out the entire sky to the east. The ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs see the arrows, much to their shocks, "What the?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "What in tarnation?" Applejack asked, the arrows land and they all land somewhere in the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone, not a single arrow went into the water, nor hit the other countries. The dragons and griffons come up and look, everycreature sees no one was hurt, Princess Celestia flew out of her palace and into the sky, she could not see Volvox's land from where she was at, so she flew closer and higher, and saw the three islands, but saw no one, much to her suspicion. The dragons and griffons stand up and look at Volvox's island, the archers were gone, much to their relief, they begin cleaning up the arrows until the griffons hear the train, they look and saw Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack get off the train, they run to them, "No, turn back, Griffonstone is off limits for now." Gilda said, "What's going on?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Don't worry about it, this is dragonkind and griffonkind business." Gilda replied, "Oh, come on, tell us." Rainbow Dash said, "See, this is the problem, whenever the other creatures have something to do, you ponies always get involved, just this once, stay out of it, you guys getting involved will also only make things worse." Gilda replied, shocking the Mane Six, "Turn back, this is something only for the griffons and dragons." Gilda said, "I wanna see the people there." Pinkie Pie replied, "No, they are not friendly." Gilda said, the Mane Six were surprised, "Go back to Equestria, Griffonstone is going to have to cut off all entrances to our country for sometime." Gilda said, the Mane Six were surprised, but they left nonetheless, they boarded the train and went back to Ponyville. Twilight Sparkle called Gallus, Smolder, and Spike to her office, "Be specific with me, what's going on, exactly?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the three become nervous, "Well, y'all?" Applejack asked, "We're sorry, but we were told by the rulers not to tell the other creatures." Spike replied, "What?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "You can't be serious!" Rainbow Dash said, "We are, if Smolder and I say anything, we will be pulled out of the school." Gallus replied, the Mane Six and Starlight Glimmer were shocked, "Did you guys lie to us?" Rarity asked, "I didn't, what's going on in the Dragon Lands really does have something to do with dragon history." Smolder replied, "What about you, Gallus?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Gallus sighed, "I lied, this has nothing to do with the Blue Moon Festival, it's about griffon history." Gallus replied, "To back when King Grover found the Idol of Boreas?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Long before that." Gallus replied, "Um, how long ago to be exact?" Fluttershy asked, "One thousand five hundred years ago." Gallus replied, shocking the seven mares, "That's before Princess Celestia was even born." Twilight Sparkle said, "Still, why do the dragons and griffons want to keep whatever's happening a secret?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Well... we're not too sure on that, either." Spike replied, Applejack can tell he was not lying, "I see, well, dismissed, and be careful." Twilight Sparkle said, and Gallus and Smolder leave. Princess Ember and Grampa Gruff were to the west of their respective countries, Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, King Thorax, Prince Rutherford, and Princess Skystar were there and trying to argue with them, "Everycreature, we're sorry, but we have to close the borders to the Dragon Lands." Princess Ember said, "Just what is going on?" Princess Cadence asked sternly, "I'm not so sure myself, this is something only my father and the elder dragons know about." Princess Ember replied, "Is it some historical thing?" Shining Armor asked, "Yeah, somewhere around those lines." Princess Ember replied, "But you don't know the details?" King Thorax asked, "No, I do not." Princess Ember replied, "I see, well, Princess Celestia might send us here again, we'll be watching from our homes." Princess Cadence said, and Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and King Thorax left them, "What's going on in your country?" Princess Skystar asked, "It's... complicated, not even I understand." Gabby replied, "Is it griffon history?" Prince Rutherford asked, "Yeah, kind of, it's way before we were born, though." Gabby replied, "So griffon not understand?" Prince Rutherford asked, "No, not at all, and I'm sorry, guys, but Griffonstone is going to have to close its borders." Gabby replied, Princess Skystar groaned, "I'm sorry, nocreature is allowed into our country until we reopen the borders, that means the train won't be allowed to enter this country, either." Gabby said, Prince Rutherford and Princess Skystar were surprised, but they left and went back to their respective countries. Princess Celestia watches from her palace and Twilight Sparkle went to her while hyperventilating, "Princess Celestia, I need help, the dragons and griffons said whatever's going on is a cultural and historical thing, but I can't find any information on their history on whatever's happening." Twilight Sparkle said, "It also depends on when it took place, Twilight, how long ago did they say was it?" Princess Celestia asked, "One thousand five hundred years ago." Twilight Sparkle replied, Princess Celestia becomes surprised, she turns to face Twilight Sparkle, "One thousand five hundred years ago? I wasn't even born, yet." Princess Celestia said, "Please, Princess Celestia, you must have something." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I'm afraid I do not, Twilight." Princess Celestia replied, Twilight Sparkle's heart fell, she desperately wanted to learn about whatever in the dragon's and griffon's history was going on just for the sake of knowing, she was not used to not knowing, "I did check earlier, though, I saw three islands to the east of the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone, but I saw no one, I know someone's living there, there's pyramids and other architecture on the closest island." Princess Celestia said, she remembers the nine pyramids very well, they looked like dark gold versions of El Castillo, "I need to learn about this." Twilight Sparkle said, and she flew to the east. The dragons and griffons were cleaning the arrows when they heard flying, they saw Twilight Sparkle flying to them, Gilda and Princess Ember flew to in front of her, "Whoa, hold on, nocreature is allowed into this area." Princess Ember said, "What? But I want to go to the new area and learn about their culture." Twilight Sparkle replied, "No can do, nocreature is allowed to go anywhere near our country or the new area, it's too dangerous." Gilda said, "Then can I please learn the history of a thousand and five hundred years ago of the griffons and the dragons?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Why?" Princess Ember asked, "Just for the sake of knowing." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Nope, it's really none of your business, either." Gilda said, "What?! But I wanna learn!" Twilight Sparkle replied, "Trust me, this part of our history is better off not known." Princess Ember said, "But I still wanna learn it!" Twilight Sparkle replied, "No way, this is personal." Gilda said, "Ugh!" Twilight Sparkle said, but she decided to turn back and fly away, much to Princess Ember's and Gilda's relief. The dark skinned slaves keep working and were treated badly, the men had to do manual labor, while the women had to cook, clean, and tend to the kids of their masters, they were all tired, five slaves were doing carpentry and their lack of experience made pieces of wood break apart due to them not knowing how to use the tools, the natives to the island took notice of it. The military runs to them and beat them, along with subduing them, Tom walked to the area to see the damage, "Put them on a raft and tie them, let the monsters eat them." Tom said, the other slaves were shocked, "No!" a female slave said, "Daddy!" a dark skinned boy said as his father was taken away. The five slaves were put on a wooden raft and tied down at their wrists and ankles so they could not move, the soldiers put the raft in the water and it began to move. The five dark skinned men struggle to break free and they saw the raft moving to the northeastern island, the monsters were waiting for them to come so they could eat them, Scylla and Charybdis stood at the sides of the strait and waited for them, Talos was at the end, waiting for them. The dragons and griffons look and saw what the commotion was, they see the slaves being sent to the northeastern island, the elderly dragons and griffons were shocked at what Volvox's kingdom was doing, "Come on, we have to go." Dragon Lord Torch said, "What's going on?" Princess Ember asked, "The slaves caused a minor accident, so Volvox's kingdom is sending them to that island to get eaten by the monsters." Dragon Lord Torch replied, the dragons and griffons were shocked, "Come on, let's go." Grampa Gruff said, and the dragons and griffons fly to them. The five slaves struggle to free themselves while they get closer to Scylla and Charybdis, the griffons and dragons fly to them and work to free them, Scylla attacks the griffons and dragons in the sky, they work to hold her back. Arrows were shot at the dragons and griffons, they look and saw Tom ordering them to them down, they fired arrows at the dragons and griffons trying to free the slaves, but they kept missing, so Typhon sent Sphinx and the Caucasian Eagle to attack them, while Volvox sent Phoenix and Thunderbird after them, Phoenix attacked the griffons, while Thunderbird attacked the dragons. Princess Ember and the others try to free the slaves on the raft, the griffons use their talons to cut their restraints off, Charybdis begins spinning around to suck them in, but the five present picked them up and flew into the sky. Noises in the water were heard and the Laestrygonians come up to the surface, they let out several grunts and growls as they tried to grab the slaves so they can eat them, but the dragons and griffons fly up quickly while holding onto the five slaves. Phoenix fought Grampa Gruff while Dragon Lord Torch fought Thunderbird, the other griffons fought the Caucasian Eagle while a few dragons fought Sphinx, they were ganged up on and overpowered, "Come back here, you two, you two aren't going to win that fight." Typhon said from inside his pyramid, and they fly back to him, "Retreat, guys, you're outnumbered." Volvox said from inside his pyramid, and Phoenix and Thunderbird fly back to him. The dragons and griffons get ready to fly back home with the slaves, but they see the Stymphalian Birds flying to them, "Fly back, those are the Stymphalian Birds, they have feathers made out of bronze that they can shoot like arrows, metal beaks as sharp as swords, and strength that allows them to grab weapons and pieces of armor." Dragon Lord Torch said, the younger dragons and griffons were shocked, "Come on, let's go, they're too dangerous to fight." Grampa Gruff said, and the dragons and griffons fly back to their respective countries with the human slaves. The dragons and griffons kept the humans with them and hid them, "You guys alright?" Princess Ember asked, the humans nod, "We don't offer hospitality, so you guys are on your own." Gilda said, "It is alright, we will be free soon." a slave said, "Why?" Gabby asked, "Humbaba's brother will rise up and fight Tom, to free us, and avenge his brother, Humbaba was killed by by the nine they worship before we came here, he's also the one who sent us to this area." the slave replied, "I see, well, good luck surviving here." Gilda said, and the five slaves stay in the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone for sometime. Twilight Sparkle goes through her books in her library to find any information on the dragons and griffons over their history, she could not find anything, she was throwing her books behind her with her telekinesis as she tried to find something, she was beginning to hyperventilate, "I can't find anything, I can't find anything! I need to know!" Twilight Sparkle said, she hyperventilated more, her friends watched her with worry, "You okay, Twilight?" Applejack asked, "No, I'm not okay! The dragons and griffons have something in their history, before Princess Celestia was born, and only the elderly dragons and griffons know what happened, and Spike and Smolder won't talk about the dragons' history, while Gallus won't talk about the griffons' history, and I don't have any books going back that far on their history, and there are no recorded documents on whatever it is, I can't take it!" Twilight Sparkle replied, she panted heavily, "Wow, I didn't think she'd freak out over something like this." Starlight Glimmer said, "Yeah, me neither, Ah didn't think she'd go this far to learn somethin'." Applejack replied, "Twilight, dear, what are you doing?" Rarity asked as she saw Twilight Sparkle go through her spell books, "There's a spell that allows me and others to see the past, and the caster can choose which year and events to see, I need to cast it. I need to know!" Twilight Sparkle replied, and she continues looking for the spell while her friends watch her with worry. Tom watched the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone while he looked for the humans, he could not find them, he heard kids playing and saw them running around, they were in front of him, "Hey, kids." Tom said, they look at him, he says "This is a working area for adults, go play somewhere else." and the kids run elsewhere, he keeps watching and does not see the slaves anywhere, he noticed their wives and kids were relieved they were saved, he also saw Jesus healing the injured slaves by touching them, they were whipped as punishment for messing up at their jobs, he then saw Jesus leaving to go to the Dragon Lands. Tom remembered seeing Twilight Sparkle trying to enter the two countries, it gave him an idea, he went to the nine the humans worshiped, "Emperor Volvox, I have an idea." Tom said, "What is it?" Volvox asked from inside his pyramid, "I noticed the dragons and griffons speaking to someone earlier, she looked like a hybrid between a unicorn and a Pegasus, I was thinking the dragons and griffons are friends with these horses, so maybe we can build a fake one to fool them, and take the slaves back." Tom replied, "Do as you wish." Bishamonten said from inside his pyramid, "Yeah, your choice." Lucifer said from inside his pyramid, Typhon's children agreed, "What do you plan to call it?" Zeus asked from inside his pyramid, "How about Trojan Horse?" Tom asked, "Why?" Volvox asked from inside his pyramid, "Because I plan to name my son Trojan if I have one, this'll be a gift to him after we use it." Tom replied, the nine were bewildered and confused, "Okay, go ahead and build it." Volvox said from inside his pyramid, "I'll use my powers to make the soldiers work faster." Bishamonten said from inside his pyramid, and he does. Jesus runs on the water to go to the Dragon Lands, the dragons were ready to attack him, "Wait, he's with us, he heals us after we're injured." a male slave said, surprising the humans, "I'm here to bring them back, I promise you they'll be safe with me." Jesus said, "Can we trust him?" Princess Ember asked, the slaves nod, "Please, you must believe him, this man has saved us several times." another slave said, "Okay, but I'm keeping an eye on him." Princess Ember said, and the slaves go to him, Jesus carries them back while walking on water, much to the surprise of the dragons. Jesus went to Griffonstone after getting the slaves in the Dragon Lands home, "Who are you?" Gilda asked, "I am a protector and healer, the slaves have sanctuary when with me." Jesus replied, "Can we trust him?" Gabby asked, the slaves in Griffonstone nod, "Well, he is standing on the water, so maybe we can." Gilda said, and the slaves go to him, Jesus carries them back home and left. The soldiers in Volvox's society were done making the contraption, they took it to Tom for him to see, he realizes it was a giant wicker man, "No, guys, Trojan Horse, not Trojan Man." Tom said, "Oh." the soldiers said, realizing their mistake, "How are you all planning to make the fake horse look?" Tom asked, "Like a regular horse." a soldier replied, Tom's eyes widened, "Guys, that's definitely not going to work, she doesn't look anything like a regular horse." Tom said, "Well, what did she look like?" a soldier asked, "Purple, and her mane looked almost like human hair." Tom replied, shocking the soldiers, "Never mind, forget it, I'll just talk to them." Volvox said, and he came out of his pyramid, shrinking himself so the world's natives do not see him, "Torch, Gruff, I'd like to have a peaceful conversation." Volvox said, Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff flew to him, "What do you want?" Grampa Gruff asked, "What do you guys have against me?" Volvox asked, "A lot, you have slaves, gender roles, and you guys demand the people and animals to be sacrificed!" Dragon Lord Torch replied, "You really have grown, Torch, I remember back when I could smash you with my foot, same with you, Gruff." Volvox said, "It doesn't matter now, we don't like your ways, we live in areas where there are no slaves or gender roles." Grampa Gruff replied, "Isn't that female griffon over there cooking?" Volvox asked, Grampa Gruff becomes shocked and looks, he saw Gilda making scones, "It's her job, and her choice, she wasn't forced to do it." Grampa Gruff replied, "My daughter rules in my place, she can be what she wants." Dragon Lord Torch said, the humans were shocked and disgusted, "You have your ways, and I have mine, maybe I should've killed you traitors earlier." Volvox said, "Well, that's your loss!" Grampa Gruff said, and they bicker. Jesus was attending to the slaves to heal them and give them freedom, he has a vision of the islands shifting, he runs to Tom, "Tom, I just had a vision of the islands shifting to the west by magic." Jesus said, "Oh, shut up, you and your made up stories." Tom replied, "I have also foreseen your downfall." Jesus said, "I am the son of Zeus and Hera, I am a god, I am invincible." Tom replied, Jesus just glared at him. A light brilliant raspberry colored aura surrounds the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone, surprising everybody. Twilight Sparkle casted a spell to see the history of the dragons and griffons, she could not find any documents or history books on the matter, and the desire to know was driving her crazy, so she found a spell that allows her to see their history, "There, now to see what happened a thousand five hundred years ago." Twilight Sparkle said, and a big white screen appeared in the sky, everycreature could see it. The screen shows four islands, the western island was Volvox's island, the northern island was the monster island, the southern island was the human island, and the eastern island was the home of Amazons, women who were warlike. The Amazons attacked Volvox's island just for the sake of war, but Volvox's unleashed three fire breaths from inside his pyramid and destroyed the entire island, the Amazons were obliterated by his fire breaths, they were very big, shocking the ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs. The picture changes to the monster island, everycreature saw the dragons and griffons living there, much to their surprises, Volvox, Typhon, Vishnu, Zeus, Amun, Odin, Lucifer, Huitzilopochtli, and Bishamonten lead their armies and invade the island, everycreature was extremely shocked when they saw Volvox, Typhon, and Lucifer, they see them demanding the creatures to bow and serve them, but they refused, so the nine destroyed them, making some of the creatures extinct, they were going to attack the dragons and griffons next, "Wait, we surrender." the dragon ruler at the time said, "We surrender, too, don't destroy us." the griffon ruler at the time said, "Wait, father?" Princess Ember asked, they all saw Dragon Lord Torch, he was younger than Spike at that time, and did not have his wings yet, "Is that Grampa Gruff right there?" Gilda asked, they all see Grampa Gruff was a little kid as well, "Look, there's King Grover." Gabby said, everygriffon saw King Grover was also a kid, "Very well, you all will need to serve me in exchange, come." Volvox said, and he went back to his island while the dragons and griffons followed them, the dragons and griffons lived with him, they all served as Volvox's air force, they all grew and saw Dragon Lord Torch become one of Volvox's military generals, while Grampa Gruff became an adviser to him. Volvox eventually had humans come to his island, they were from the southern island, they explained they wanted to serve Volvox, and there were humans of darker skin there, they said they were enemies with them, and wanted to align with Volvox to take them down, Volvox and the other eight agreed, and attacked the southern island. The picture changes and the light skinned humans lived on Volvox's island under his rule, and provided him a navy, the ships also came back with dark skinned humans, they had to serve under Volvox as slaves, the ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs were very shocked, "Volvox, what are you doing?!" Grampa Gruff asked, "Simple, I am merely adopting, it was those humans who came up with the idea of slavery in the first place." Volvox replied, "You're not going to resist it?!" Grampa Gruff asked, "Can't, there are more humans than I have dragons, griffons, and other creatures combined, do not underestimate weak people in large numbers, Gruff, they can overpower you easily, I have also received telepathic information from the Maker not to intervene, and to let the humans grow." Volvox replied, Grampa Gruff was surprised, King Grover flew to Volvox, "Emperor, they're treating the dark skinned humans like trash." King Grover said, "Well, they did lose the war, it is common to be treated that way after losing." Volvox replied, King Grover was shocked. The picture changes to Volvox and the other eight who were worshiped having human soldiers, they only had males, "Wait, guys, what about the females?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "Only males are allowed in the military." Lucifer replied, "Why?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "Don't you dragons only allow males to join as well?" Dommiel asked, "No, both genders are allowed to serve." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Torch, remember, this is our land, our rules, the men fight, work, and protect others, while the women cook, clean, take care of the kids, nurse the injured and sick, make clothes, and keep their fellow males pleased, as long as you dragons serve us, you all will act accordingly to our society's rules of your gender." Zeus said, the ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs were extremely shocked, "What?!" Rainbow Dash asked, the other people were still very shocked. The picture changes to the humans playing a ball game, the winner was divided into six pieces and everyone except Volvox, Typhon, and Lucifer absorbed his body parts to empower themselves, the world's natives were very shocked by what they saw. The picture changes to the humans sacrificing a pig while it struggled and squealed, they kill it and cut it apart with a knife, the world's natives watched with horror, while Fluttershy cried, the pig's sacrifice made food and crops grow for the humans, which were provided by Huitzilopochtli and Amun, "What are you guys doing?!" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "Blessing them, they have sacrificed the animal to give to us as food, we are just returning the favor." Typhon replied, the dragons and griffons had enough of the kingdom's ways, so they secretly began to plot a rebellion. The picture changes to the dragons and griffons making pavises since Volvox was big on having archers, the dragons and griffons launched a rebellion one day and a small fight broke out, no one was hurt, Odin tried to open a portal to call his allies, but opened one to the current world they were in, and the dragons and griffons flew in to escape Volvox's rule. The dragons and griffons arrive into the world and settle in their respective countries, "You all know the drill, never speak of it, never look back on it, and destroy all documents and writings we have from Volvox's time, we're not there anymore." King Grover said, "Everydragon, we can start anew here, never look back at that time, we will start a new life here, and be one more free and less brutal than Volvox's rule, let's get started." Dragon Lord Torch said, and the screen went down. The ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs look on with complete shock, unable to believe what they saw, "No wonder why they won't share it, it's a part they wanna forget." Applejack said, "Did you know about this, Spike?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No." Spike replied, they just watch look forward to the east. Volvox and Dragon Lord Torch press heads against one another again, Volvox used his center head and used his powers to make himself his regular size, the two pressed their heads while growling, and Grampa Gruff growled at Volvox. A yellow aura surrounded the three islands, "What the?" Tom asked, and the islands move to the west. Princess Celestia uses her telekinesis to bring the three islands closer, she wanted to see the people there for once, she put the three islands in the Celestial Sea, just east of Baltimare, everybody was shocked to see Volvox's massive size in person, Volvox and Dragon Lord Torch growled at one another, but stopped when they saw the dragons and griffons were ready to attack them, and the human archers were ready to fire arrows at the dragons and griffons, the other eight pyramids burst open and Typhon, Vishnu, Zeus, Amun, Odin, Lucifer, Huitzilopochtli, and Bishamonten came out, so did Dommiel, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Cerberus, Orthrus, the Nemean Lion, the Hydra, Chimera, Sphinx, the Colchian Dragon, Ladon, and the Caucasian Eagle, the humans on the southeastern island were ready to throw spears, and the northeastern island had Scylla, Charybdis, Talos, the Laestrygonians, Kraken, Minotaur, Harpies, the Basilisk, the Cockatrice, the Lambton Worm, the Erymanthian Boar, Stymphalian Birds, Catoblepas, the Cyclopes, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa, they look around as well, the ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs were surprised by how many creatures there were. Dragon Lord Torch and Volvox keep growling at one another, "I have no patience with someone who has slaves." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Nor do I with traitors." Volvox replied, telekinesis was cast to separate them, "Enough. Stop it." Princess Celestia said as she flew to them, Twilight Sparkle flew with her, "I do not know what went on between you guys, but it needs to stop, I do not appreciate the other nations going to war." Princess Celestia said, "You are?" Volvox asked, "Princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria." Princess Celestia replied, "I am Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship, whenever there is a problem or people not getting along in this world, it is my job to fix it." Twilight Sparkle said, Gilda slapped her own face with her right talon, "Ugh! You ponies just had to get involved!" Gilda said, "It is my job, when people do not get along, I am to fix it." Twilight Sparkle replied, "But you're not in Equestria." Gabby said, "Whether the problem is in Equestria or not doesn't matter." Twilight Sparkle replied, the dragons and griffons grumble, "Begone, my business is with the dragons and the griffons." Volvox said, "See, even Volvox wants to keep it just between us." a male dragon said, the others agreed, "First off, Volvox, I understand you are the original ruler of the dragons and the griffons." Princess Celestia said, "Yes, I am, until they betrayed me." Volvox replied, "I do not wish to go to war with your nation, I wish for us to have peaceful relations, but the dragons and griffons are our friends, you all are going to have to work things out before we can be on good relations." Princess Celestia said, "War will break out first." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Yeah, like we will ever be friends with him." Grampa Gruff said, "Well, then I suggest you all go back to your countries and calm down, then reach an agreement with one another, I'll be back here another time." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she and Princess Celestia flew away, Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff went back home, while Volvox and the other eight went into their pyramids, everybody sleeps at night while the humans watch the dragons and griffons closely. The next day comes and the Mane Six go to Volvox's island through Twilight Sparkle's hot air balloon, they were excited, but exclaimed with shock and screamed when the humans began shooting arrows at them, "Guys, stop, it's us!" Twilight Sparkle said, "Cease fire, everyone, let's see what they want." Tom said, and the archers stop firing at them. The hot air balloon lands and the six step out, "What are you all doing here?" Tom asked, "I am doing royal duties for my country, I am required to know your customs and ways of living so I can report it back to my home country, I would like for you all to share your culture, and show me your ways." Twilight Sparkle replied, the men just get on with their days, "Excuse me, I just issued a command." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans just keep working, "Hey, I said I'd like to be shown around!" Twilight Sparkle said in a very annoyed tone while raising her voice, the humans just get on with their days, "Stop ignoring me!" Twilight Sparkle said angrily, the men continue to ignore her, Twilight Sparkle growls, Princess Celestia watched from the balcony of her palace and was noticing Twilight Sparkle getting angry, she instantly knew something was wrong. Princess Ember flew down and landed to Twilight Sparkle's left, "Hey, it's not going to work." Princess Ember said, "Why not?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Since you're in their country, you have no power whatsoever." Princess Ember replied, "I am trying to ask them kindly to show me around, but they won't listen!" Twilight Sparkle said in an annoyed tone, "That's because we don't take orders from women." a man replied, shocking the Mane Six, "What?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "Say what now?!" Applejack asked, "See, that was I was trying to tell you guys." Princess Ember replied, "What was it, darling?" Rarity asked, "Only males have authority in their land, including foreigners, you're powerless in this country because of your gender." Princess Ember replied, Twilight Sparkle was very shocked. Princess Celestia was very angry at what she heard, the ponies in Canterlot notice her making an angry face with her teeth exposed and was glaring, they can hear a noise that sounded like a teapot whistling, and Princess Celestia's face literally turned red as she pressed her teeth against one another. The Mane Six were very shocked by the revelation, "There you have it, go back to your home, horse." Tom said, "I'm a pony!" Twilight Sparkle said in an annoyed tone, "Same thing." Tom replied, "No, it's not!" Twilight Sparkle said in a very annoyed tone, Tom decided to just go with it since he has learned before not to argue with a female, "What about you five, what are you guys?" Tom asked, "Name's Rainbow Dash, Wonderbolt reporting for duty." Rainbow Dash replied, shocking the humans, "What?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Military is for men only." a soldier replied, "What?! That is not cool!" Rainbow Dash said, the humans glare at her, "That is not the proper way to use that word." a male citizen said, "Yes, it is." Rainbow Dash said, "No, it's not, the word 'cool' means either, fairly low temperature, or someone who is calm." another male citizen replied, "Oh, you guys are referring to the actual meaning." Rainbow Dash said, the humans shake their heads, "I'm Pinkie Pie, I'm a baker and party planner!" Pinkie Pie said, "Then why don't you go back to your man, and make his dinner?" a male citizen asked, "I'm single." Pinkie Pie replied, "Look at that, a spinster." Tom said, "Hey! I'm not that old." Pinkie Pie replied, "How old are you?" a male citizen asked, "Twenty." Pinkie Pie replied, "Nope, you're old, most girls marry when they're twelve." a soldier said, greatly shocking the Mane Six, "Marry?! At twelve years old?!" Rarity asked with horror, "What about boys? How old are they when they marry?" Applejack asked, "Thirteen." Tom replied, the six mares were completely horrified, "Girls marry at twelve?! Boys marry at thirteen?! That's disgustin' y'all!" Applejack said, "You don't know our ways." Tom replied, "Who are you, anyway?" a male soldier asked, "Mah name's Applejack, I run Sweet Apple Acres." Applejack replied, "You're... a farmer?" a male citizen asked, "That's right." Applejack replied, "Why are you doing a man's job?" a soldier asked, "Cause someone needs to run the farm, and mah big brother can't do it all by himself." Applejack replied, "Don't you have any children?" Tom asked, "Nope." Applejack replied, "What about you?" Tom asked, "My name is Rarity, I'm a fashion designer." Rarity replied, "You make clothes?" a male citizen asked, "Yes, I do, but I must say, you all have some weird clothing on." Rarity replied, she noticed most males were robes that looked like dresses and skirts, while Tom appeared to be wearing armor shaped like a long-sleeve shirt, pants, elbow length gloves, and knee length boots, they were black with gold outlines, and his cape was gold on the outside, while black on the inside, "Why don't you go back to your man?" Tom asked, "I'm single." Rarity replied, "Then maybe other men would like you to make clothes for them?" Tom asked, Rarity exclaimed with shock for a moment, "Excuse me, but can't a lady work on her career?" Rarity asked, "Your man comes first." a soldier replied, Rarity blushed a bit, "And the last one?" Tom asked, they all saw Fluttershy was hiding in the back, "Oh, um, I'm Fluttershy, I run a cottage and take care of animals." Fluttershy replied, "Hmm, they do have an area for raising food." a soldier said, the six mares become shocked, "Wait, they're not for eating, they're for being adopted as pets." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yes, it is very hard work." Fluttershy said, "You should be looking after sons, not animals." a male citizen said, surprising Fluttershy, the six mares notice their ways of living were completely different from their own, "Can you all at least please take us to this country's women?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Sure, this way." a male citizen replied, and they follow him. The Mane Six look around and see only male citizens working, they also see kids playing, but it was only boys, "Wait, what's going on over there?" Twilight Sparkle asked, and the others see dark skinned males walking, following a light skinned male, the dark skinned males had rope tied around their wrists, "Just a man doing his job." the male citizen replied, "And what would that be?" Rarity asked, "Getting servants to help him work in his house." the male citizen replied, "Servants? They don't look like servants to me." Applejack said, "Don't be fooled, it is." the male citizen replied, "Come now, this way." the male citizen said, and he leads them. The male citizen takes them to a place filled with women and he walked back, it was a big kitchen, the women were cooking, "Uh, excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, and they look at her, one woman went to her, "You all here to work?" the woman asked, "No, we're here to study your culture." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, you won't find much, us women are busy." the woman said, "Who are you?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I'm the matriarch of my family, I run the home and make sure everything goes smoothly until my husband gets back." the woman replied, "Wait, until your husband gets back?" Rarity asked, "Yup, the fathers or oldest males have all the power in the family." the woman replied, the Mane Six were shocked, they did not like that the slightest, "What if there is no father?" Rarity asked, "Then the oldest son runs the family." the woman replied, "What if the daughter is older than the oldest son?" Rarity asked, "Oldest son still runs the family, daughters have no saying whatsoever." the woman replied, "What if all of the male relatives have passed?" Applejack asked, "Then the matriarch will take care of things, it's usually the mother, or in some cases, the oldest female in the entire family." the woman replied, the Mane Six were still surprised, "Wow, you guys are really different from our home." Rainbow Dash said, "I noticed that, I see you girls don't wear clothes." the woman replied, the Mane Six become a bit embarrassed, "Maybe I can work there, I am a baker." Pinkie Pie said, "Mmm, maybe, cooking is a bit different from baking." the woman replied, "What about me? I sew clothes." Rarity said, "Oh no, the last woman who weaved in this country got turned into a spider." the woman replied, the Mane Six were confused, but ignored it, "What else do you all do besides cooking?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Dancing, taking care of the kids, cleaning, and entertaining the men in other ways, we're very busy." the woman replied, "Must be hard." Fluttershy said, "It's fun, though, well, for me." the woman replied, "Well, we have to get going." Twilight Sparkle said, "Okay, but I don't think you'll find much more to our culture." the woman replied, and she walked away, the Mane Six walk to the south. The Mane Six walk around and they hear heavy breathing, "There, it's okay, you are safe here, let me heal you." Jesus said, the Mane Six walk over and see Jesus with the dark skinned humans, they went to him, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, Jesus looked at them, "Please go, this is a sanctuary for the dark skinned." Jesus said, "Actually, we're just here to see what's going on." Fluttershy said, "My apologies, my name is Jesus, I am one of the incarnations of God, I have come here to help these people." Jesus replied, "What? What's going on?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Those with dark skin are slaves, taken away from their families back at home, they are forced to do manual labor, and are given beatings or even killed if they make the slightest mistake, I have come to this land to heal them." Jesus replied, the Mane Six were a bit sad to hear what he said, "We'd like to help." Twilight Sparkle said, "Thank you, any help is appreciated." Jesus replied, the Mane Six smiled, and they helped Jesus attend to the slaves, they saw Jesus could heal people by just touching them, which made them look at him with awe, "Sorry, Jesus, but we have to go back, the others are waiting for us." Twilight Sparkle said, "Okay, thank you for your help." Jesus replied, and the Mane Six go back to the hot air balloon and head back to Equestria. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Starlight Glimmer, Sunburst, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Spike, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, Ocean Flow, and Sky Beak were together in Canterlot, they were in a meeting room, Dragon Lord Torch was just small enough to fit in, "Is it true that you all originally served Volvox?" Ocean Flow asked, "Yes, we would've been destroyed if we didn't." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Well, what's he like?" Princess Skystar asked, "Well, things look different now, but back then, Volvox had supreme power, it looks like his authority has been brought down a lot, it looks like he has no authority now." Grampa Gruff replied, "I also don't like the look of those other eight guys with him." Sky Beak said, "Ah, yes, two of them are monsters, the other six are gods." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Gods?! You mean as in gods like Princess Celestia and Princess Luna?" King Thorax asked, Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff nod, "Yak want Dragon Land and Griffonstone borders to reopen." Prince Rutherford said, "I'm afraid we can't, it's too dangerous right now." Princess Ember replied, "But Twilight was able to get into Volvox's country." Spike said, surprising the other dragons and Grampa Gruff, "Oh right, yes, I sent Twilight and her five friends there through her hot air balloon, I wish for her to gather information on their ways of living." Princess Celestia said, "They will not like what they find." Grampa Gruff replied, "You sure about that?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Very sure." Grampa Gruff replied, the door opened and the Mane Six entered, they went to the others, "Well, how did it go?" Sunburst asked, "I don't like their ways of living." Twilight Sparkle asked, "What don't you like about them, Twilight?" Princess Celestia asked, "First of all, females have no power or authority in their land." Twilight Sparkle replied, "What?!" Princess Luna asked as the other females become offended, "You're saying my status as princess is revoked just because I'm a girl?!" Princess Luna asked, "I'm sorry, but yes." Princess Ember replied, Princess Luna slammed her front hooves on the table, scaring everycreature, "I demand to speak with them, I will not tolerate such injustice!" Princess Luna said angrily, "Luna, calm down." Princess Celestia said, "I'm sorry, but that's how they are, same goes with all politics, all foreign relationships and trade relations with them has to be done and conducted by males." Grampa Gruff replied, "Still, it's not fair." Princess Skystar said, "Agreed, I do not like the thought of losing my status as queen because of my gender." Queen Novo replied, "I agree, too, I don't like that." King Thorax said, "Me neither, my sister, wife, and daughter losing their royalty status just because of their gender is very angering to me." Shining Armor replied, Twilight Sparkle was very touched by his words, "Moving on, another thing I noticed is gender roles, we all already saw what those are." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, they're saying I shouldn't be a Wonderbolt because of my gender, that is totally not cool." Rainbow Dash said, "We'll have to look into it, gender roles are unheard of in this world." Princess Celestia replied, "I have also received word that the fathers have all the power in the family." Twilight Sparkle said, "What?! The father controls the entire family?!" Princess Cadence asked, "Yes, the father or oldest male relative has all the power in the family, their authority cannot be questioned by other family members." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "What about the wife?" Ocean Flow asked, "She has no power whatsoever, she is expected to be obedient to her husband without question, and give him love when he wants it." Grampa Gruff replied, the females were very offended, Princess Luna could just barely conceal her anger, "That is one reason why the dragons and griffons broke away from them, the females are expected to live a life of servitude, as a child, they are expected to serve their father, as a woman, their husband, and as an elder, their son." Dragon Lord Torch said, the females present were extremely offended, King Thorax, Prince Rutherford, Shining Armor, Sunburst, and Sky Beak were angered as well, "Last thing I didn't like is they have slavery, people there are slaves just because of their skin color." Twilight Sparkle said, everybody present was shocked, "It's true, y'all, there are dark skinned folk there, they're bein' taken away from their families and forced to serve the people there against their wills." Applejack said, everycreature there was shocked, "They had them before we broke away, the slaves are treated like trash, tortured, and killed over the slightest misdemeanors." Grampa Gruff said, "We did meet a kind man named Jesus, though, he actually had the power to heal others by touching them, he's hiding them from the people." Fluttershy said, everycreature smiled, "Well, that's pretty much everything." Twilight Sparkle said, "Wait, Twilight, you forgot one." Applejack replied, "Which one was it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The marriage." Applejack replied, Rarity exclaimed with shock, "You all will not believe this, in their country, males marry when they are thirteen years old, while females marry when they are twelve!" Rarity said, making everycreature uncomfortable, "That's too young!" Princess Cadence said, "Yeah, we thought that, too, but they said by their standards, we're old to be single." Pinkie Pie replied, shocking the other creatures, "Well, we still have two more islands to explore." Twilight Sparkle said, "Do not go that island northeast of theirs, it's filled with monsters, they will attack you on sight." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "What about the other island?" Fluttershy asked, "I don't see anything there, it looks barren." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I'm not surprised, that's where the people in Volvox's kingdom get their slaves from." Grampa Gruff replied, "You can also see the island from the Dragon Lands, everything's destroyed." Princess Ember said, "What about the people there?" Fluttershy asked, "We haven't seen any." Princess Ember replied, shocking the other creatures, "Well, I think that is all, we'd still like for the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone to reopen their borders." Princess Celestia said, "That's... going to be a bit difficult, Volvox is like us, he doesn't want you creatures in his feud with us and the griffons." Princess Ember replied, "Can't we just use telekinesis or fly into your countries?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Archers will shoot you down." Grampa Gruff replied, "Oh, right, Ah forgot about them, them arrows could possibly cover all of Equestria." Applejack said, "You shouldn't worry, Applejack, our magic shields should be enough to repel them." Princess Celestia replied, "What about the gods? How strong are they?" Ocean Flow asked, "Very strong, two of them control the sun." Grampa Gruff replied, shocking the other creatures, "One that controls the sun also controls wind, one controls the warriors and enchants them, one controls thunder and the sky, one is a master of war, magic, sorcery, and has all of the knowledge in existence, and the last one controls the world itself." Dragon Lord Torch said, greatly shocking the world's natives, "There's no way we'd stand up against six gods, we'll be annihilated." Applejack said, "Agreed, there is no way we'll win against them in a war." Princess Celestia replied, "What about the other two rulers?" Princess Luna asked, "One controls the afterlife and part of the underworld, and the other one is the father of all monsters." Grampa Gruff replied, "And what does Volvox control?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "All of the underworld and the afterlife." Dragon Lord Torch replied, making everyone uncomfortable, "Let's try to have a peaceful relationship with them for now, it might be difficult, though, but we need the borders of Griffonstone and the Dragon Lands open for that." Princess Celestia said, "Alright, but you guys are on your own if you get attacked." Princess Ember replied, "Let's go, that is all we have to discuss." Princess Celestia said, and everycreature left. The Mane Six were in Twilight Sparkle's castle and five of them were grunting and groaning with extreme irritation, "It's not fair! I can't do what I want in their country because of my gender!" Rainbow Dash said, "No kiddin', talkin' bout me doin' a man's job, farmin' is for women, too." Applejack replied, "Don't get me started on them saying I have to raise sons instead of animals." Fluttershy said, "I have to cook and can't do anything else, that means I can't party!" Pinkie Pie said, "And they said I'm not supposed to have a career, I'm supposed to please my lover, what an unspeakable demand!" Rarity said, "Girls!" Twilight Sparkle said, the five look at her, "I know what they said was not nice, but we still have to respect their ways, and they said we have no power or authority in their land because of our genders, I know this is very frustrating, but there is nothing we can do." Twilight Sparkle said, "What about Princess Celestia, isn't she trying something?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I'm sure she's going to try to talk things out, I hope it all goes well." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they all went home and slept for the day. Three days pass and Griffonstone and the Dragon Lands reopen their borders, the other creatures try to establish relationships with Volvox's island, but they have trouble, especially Equestria and Mount Aris, since their rulers were females, this angered the two countries. The Mane Six go to the Canterlot palace to see how Princess Celestia was doing, they run to her, "Is everything alright, Princess Celestia?" Applejack asked, "I'll admit, I am experiencing an equal amount of anger and frustration as the rest of you, but they won't establish country relations with me because of my gender, I'm sorry to say this to you all, but we are powerless there, Shining Armor is going to have to handle the politics." Princess Celestia replied, the Mane Six were still a bit sad, "That is all I have to say, you all are free to go." Princess Celestia said, and the six left. The Mane Six try to think of something until they hear walking, they saw King Thorax enter, "If you all want to, I can go and try to speak to them on your behalf." King Thorax said, the Mane Six agreed, "Thank you, Thorax, this really means a lot to me." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, I'll be going now, wish me luck." King Thorax replied, and he flies out of the castle to go to Volvox's island. Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream were outside with Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle standing with them, "This isn't fair! I've had it with them and their gender roles!" Silverstream said angrily, "Yeah, me too." Sandbar replied, "I'm sorry, guys, but I tried asking Grampa Gruff about the gender stuff yesterday, he didn't explain it." Gallus said, "What about the dragons?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Nope, Princess Ember tried asking the elder dragons, they don't know, either." Smolder replied, "What did her father say?" Scootaloo asked, "He said it's just how their way of living is." Smolder replied, "But still, why?" Ocellus asked, "He doesn't know, either." Smolder replied, "Ah've been wonderin' if they have school there." Apple Bloom said, "Now that you mention it, I didn't see a school on their island yesterday." Gallus replied, "Well, I hope things go well, I hope Prince Shining Armor can make progress with reasoning with them, what about the hippogriffs, though?" Sandbar asked, "My dad and General Seaspray are going to try to establish relations, if they need another person, Terramar will go." Silverstream replied, "How relationships with them between dragon and griffon?" Yona asked, "We still don't get along." Gallus replied, "Yeah, dragons still don't like them, either." Smolder said, "What about you two?" Sandbar asked, "Yakyakistan neutral, but Prince Rutherford not like slavery." Yona replied, "We're okay with them, but we don't like the fact they have life sacrifices." Ocellus said, "Well, let's hope things go alright between our kind and the hippogriffs." Sandbar said, and the nine all stand together. A ship goes to Volvox's island, Sky Beak, General Seaspray, and other male hippogriffs were on there, they arrive at the southern port of the island, they dock and get off the ship. The hippogriffs walk forward and go to Tom, "Who are you guys?" Tom asked, "I am Sky Beak, the queen's brother-in-law." Sky Beak replied, "I am General Seaspray of the Royal Hippogriff Navy." General Seaspray said, the humans watched them, "We are here to establish relationships with your country, we do not wish for war." Sky Beak said, "It's a bit early to establish trade." Tom replied, "We are not here to establish trade, we are here to make sure to have a friendly relationship with your country." General Seaspray said, "Know to who you speak, I am Tom, king of this country, child of the god Zeus and the goddess Hera." Tom replied, the hippogriffs were uncomfortable, "To invoke my wrath will also invoke the wrath of the gods, so hope we do not become enemies." Tom said, "What about the nine in the pyramids?" Sky Beak asked, "They are just there, we worship them and give them sacrifices for good fortune, I'm the one with all of the power." Tom replied, "So those nine are just worshiped, and have no power?" General Seaspray asked, Tom nods, the dragons and griffons were listening, they were surprised to hear Volvox no longer had any actual authority, "We are just here to establish peaceful relations." Sky Beak said, "Very well, pray you don't get on our bad side." Tom replied, and they signed a paper with a quill, the hippogriffs leave while happy. King Thorax went to them, the humans were happy to see him again, "Hello again, Thorax, always a pleasure to see you." Tom said, the humans agreed, "Actually, I'm here on behalf of Equestria, they are friends with my kingdom, you know." King Thorax replied, "Nope, someone from their kind has to speak with us if they want relationships." Tom said, "I'd figured." King Thorax said under his breath, "By the way, Thorax, we heard from your kind about Queen Chrysalis, we'd like to thank you." Tom said, "For what?" King Thorax asked, "For being living proof that women are not fit to rule." Tom replied, King Thorax was offended; Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Twilight Sparkle, Princess Ember, Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, Ocean Flow, and Silverstream overheard him, they were very angry at the moment. Shining Armor arrived into the kingdom and ran to Tom, "Oh, this is one of the rulers from Equestria." King Thorax said, "You are?" Tom asked, "Shining Armor, prince of Equestria, and captain of the guard." Shining Armor replied, Tom chuckled, "That's how I became ruler." Tom said, "Huh?" Shining Armor asked, "I became king through serving as an officer in the military." Tom replied, "Oh, well, I was hoping Equestria could have peaceful relations with you guys." Shining Armor said, "Sure, I already saw some of your customs, your military is actually very similar to ours." Tom replied, "Wait, it is?" Shining Armor asked, Tom nodded, "Oh, well, I guess I'm done then." Shining Armor said, "I have to get going, too." King Thorax said, "Alright, see you two later." Tom replied, and they left. Equestria, Yakyakistan, the Changeling Kingdom, and Mount Aris had a peaceful but strained relationship with Volvox's kingdom, the main reason was because of their sour relationships with the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone, Volvox ordered everyone not to attack the dragons and griffons because he can tell the ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs will rush to their aid if they do. The humans held King Thorax in high regards due to him overthrowing Queen Chrysalis, which he did not like, Shining Armor was also held in high regard for his tale about overthrowing King Sombra, but not as much as King Thorax. Typhon was with his children while they stood on his pyramid, the other eight were on theirs as well, "The games are about to start, get everything ready and train yourselves." Typhon said, "Yes, father." Typhon's children said, and they jumped off, "Yes, it is that time, isn't it?" Vishnu asked, "Yup, the games begin a few days from now." Volvox replied, and they watch. Jesus has a vision and sees Tom being overthrown, along with his own death, he ran to Tom, "I just had another vision, Tom, your downfall is near." Jesus said, "Impossible, I am a god." Tom replied, "No, you are not, you are just a mere mortal, you're not a child of Zeus and Hera." Jesus said, "Not true, I am invincible, and you will see that your vision is wrong." Tom replied, Jesus just left, he went back to the slaves he was nursing back to health, "I am sorry to say this to you all, but my time is nearly up, the other countries will keep you all safe, I wish you all good luck." Jesus said, the slaves beg for him to stay, "I am afraid I cannot, my destiny is near, I must go, but remember, I will live on in your hearts and memories." Jesus said and he left, the slaves watched sadly. The next day comes and Twilight Sparkle wanted the humans to come to her School of Friendship, the humans look at her with bewilderment, "Don't give me that look." Twilight Sparkle said, "It's wrong for a woman to be educated." a male citizen replied, "No, it's not!" Twilight Sparkle said angrily, "We are not sending our kids to your school." Tom said, "Fine, you all can at least read my friendship lesson books, then." Twilight Sparkle said, and she gave it to them before flying away, the humans saw it was written by the Mane Six, they burn the books since they were written by females, shocking and angering the six who wrote it. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence watched from balconies, they were angered by what they saw. The next day comes and the humans were getting ready for the games, so they were going to give Bishamonten a sacrifice, they were going sacrifice a sheep and a piglet. Fluttershy saw what they were doing and informed her friends, they quickly flew to save the animals, the sheep and piglet cried out with fear. The Mane Six arrive and take the two animals away, "What are you guys doing?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The god of warriors is being given a sacrifice, if it satisfies him, we will have enhanced physical capabilities." a male human said, "No! These animals have feelings too, they don't wish to lose their lives!" Pinkie Pie said, "Their wants are not our concern, they must be sacrificed to the god." Tom replied, "Don't you dare! These poor animals are just babies!" Rarity said, "That is why we chose them to be sacrificed." Tom replied, the sheep and piglet became scared, Fluttershy pulled herself together and was ready to defend them with her life, "No way! You'll have to go through us first!" Rainbow Dash said, "Yeah, there is no way y'all are sacrificin' baby animals, they still have their lives ahead of them." Applejack said, "If you guys are going to do sacrifices, then maybe do the elder animals, since they already lived their lives." Twilight Sparkle said, "You don't know our ways." Tom replied, "You don't know ours, either." Twilight Sparkle said, and the six left with the sheep and piglet, Fluttershy adopted them, Tom sighed and went to get another sheep and pig, they were old and sick, and they were sacrificed. The other countires watched them and their relationships soured more, Princess Celestia did not like the fact that the humans sacrificed other humans and animals to the gods to receive good fortune, just thinking about it disgusted her. The next day comes and several slaves make mistakes while doing their jobs, some men dropped things during manual labor, some women messed up dancing and could not sing right, they were tortured as punishment, some were killed as well, much to the horror of the ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs, while the griffons and dragons watched, they were starting to wonder if Volvox was not ordering it, but rather, it was Tom who ordered them to be hurt. Tom ordered a ship to go out into the sea, six slaves were on there with chains on their feet, four male, and two female, a male soldier drops the metal ball into the water, the six slaves slid across the ship's deck, the slaves went deep into the water while their relatives watched with horror at seeing them being put in the water for them to drown. The hippogriffs and seaponies saw what happened and Ocean Flow screamed with horror at what she saw, the seaponies swam to them while the hippogriffs flew to them. General Seaspray commanded the ships to go to them, Sky Beak and other hippogriffs went into the water to get the slaves, so did the seaponies, they get them out of the water and put them on the ship General Seaspray was on, they were taken to Mount Aris. The hippogriffs nursed them back to health while Ocean Flow came up to the surface, "Is everyone okay?" Ocean Flow asked with worry, they nod, "Silverstream's coming, mom, the ponies are with her." Terramar said, "Good, we need as much as help as we can get." Sky Beak replied, and she arrived with the Mane Six to nurse the slaves back to health. The relationships with Volvox's island soured, Princess Celestia was literally on the verge of declaring war on his kingdom. Four days pass and some of the slaves who were to be executed were sent either tried to be sent to the northeastern island to eaten by the monsters, the dragons and griffons fought the monsters to rescue them and take them into their countries, while the ones who put in the water to drown were rescued by the hippogriffs and seaponies, Princess Celestia had Cloudsdale watch from above while Queen Novo had the Royal Hippogriff Navy patrol the waters, they would attack any ship carrying slaves if they saw one. The ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs hid the dark skinned humans from the light skinned humans, and gave them new lives, they learn that Volvox and the other eight people they worship do not really have any authority, all they do was grant the humans good fortune and protect them from other monsters and demons, it was Tom who created the gender roles and slavery, while the sacrifices were seen as necessary for the six gods to get their powers back when they were low. Volvox noticed the other countries were beginning to dislike Tom's rule, and it was the day the games began, "Everybody, we're going to have to do the games elsewhere today, if they see what we do for games, they will declare war on us." Volvox said, "Well, they're all to the west, so let's do the games to the east this year." Lucifer replied, "Agreed, they should not be able to see what goes on from there." Amun said, "Let's go, then." Odin replied, and everybody goes there. Every single person in Volvox's island went to the east and Vishnu made the Colosseum appear, the nine the people worshiped surrounded it to form a circle on the inside, while Tom sat in a throne under Volvox, he was going to command the games, he had archers surround the Colosseum, they were to shoot at anycreature who tried to see what they were doing, even though the dragons and griffons can clearly see what they were doing. Tom ordered the criminals in the society to be thrown in first, they were stripped of their clothes and had their hands and feet tied, Typhon's children were all in there, they kill the criminals and eat them while the people cheered, "This might be fun to watch." Garble said, the dragons with him agreed and they watch eagerly. The next fights were some of the soldiers fighting to the death, they had swords, shields, armor, spiked gauntlets, and sometimes, horses carrying carriages, every human fought and the battles usually ended when one opponent was killed, the humans cheered while the nine people they worshiped watched stoically. The Nemean Lion decided to fight five humans, their weapons could not harm him, so he ended up eating them alive while the humans cheered. Tom ordered several male slaves to fight the Colchian Dragon, every slave was killed by the dragon. Tom noticed how the male slaves would sacrifice themselves so their wives and children do not receive the cruel treatment they received if they cowered out, so Tom had an idea, he ordered the rest of Typhon's children into the arena, along with Phoenix and Thunderbird, and had the guards put the slaves' children in there instead, shocking the nine rulers and Typhon's children, "Well, fight to the death, let it begin." Tom said, "All of you, stand down." Typhon said, and they do, "What are you guys doing?" Tom asked, "You know the rules, Tom, no women or children, that applies to the slaves as well." Dommiel replied, "Archers, shoot the children." Tom said, some archers did while others stood down, Amun used his powers to blow the arrows away, they begin to turn to stone, "What the?" Tom asked, everybody looks and they saw Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa standing on a cliff on the northeastern island, Catoblepas turned them to stone as well, the Basilisk was staring as well, but the humans looked away from it. Tom looked around and sighed, "Cancel the games, they're not the only ones ready to attack." Tom said, the humans look and saw Princess Ember was ready to lead the dragons to attack them if they try to have children killed for sport, so did Grampa Gruff, Dragon Lord Torch was ready to fight as well, "Yeah, let's cancel, we're already on the verge of going to war with the other countries." Volvox said, the humans groaned with disappointment while the children and their parents were relieved, while the nine they worshiped, Dommiel, Typhon's children, Phoenix, and Thunderbird felt indifferent to it. Jesus went to Equestria to help the slaves there, he healed them by touching them, the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, Starlight Glimmer, Sunburst, Spike, and the rulers of Equestria, Yakyakistan, the Changeling Kingdom, and Mount Aris came to see him, "Thank you, Jesus, I really appreciate your help with healing these people." Princess Celestia said, "I have tried my best to heal them all, they have suffered a lot, almost all of these dark skinned folk have lost a family member in Tom's kingdom." Jesus replied, a slave with scars from whipping on his back went to Jesus, he touched him to heal him, "How are you all doing in these areas?" Jesus asked, "They are friendly, and kind, they treat us as people rather than savages." a male dark skinned person replied, "Good, I was worried your countries had slavery, too." Jesus said, "Of course not, we teach friendship, slavery has no place in our countries." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Can you teach us, Jesus?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Yeah, pretty please?" Scootaloo asked, "I am sorry, but my time to live is almost up." Jesus replied, he notices something and has a vision, he sees two bad things were about to happen in Tom's kingdom, and he will have to sacrifice himself to prevent one, "What did you see, Jesus?" a male dark skinned human asked, "Can he see something?" Princess Luna asked, "Jesus is a prophet, he has visions of the future from time to time." a female dark skinned human replied, surprising the world's natives, Princess Celestia walked to him, "Jesus, please, tell us, what did you see?" Princess Celestia asked, "All of the dark skinned people from the southeastern island is about to be brought to Volvox's island soon, and rather than being enslaved, Tom is going to go through with his original plan, he is going to gather up all of the dark skinned people on the island and execute them, I am going to have to sacrifice myself to prevent it from happening." Jesus replied, the creatures gasp, "No, please, let us speak with him." King Thorax said, "He is not going to listen." Jesus replied, "What if we sacrifice ourselves instead?" Prince Rutherford asked, "It will not work, he will execute them all, anyway, it has to be me." Jesus replied, "Why?" Princess Luna asked, "Tom and I have never gotten along, I'm his only enemy in the kingdom, with me gone, he will think he will rule supreme with no more enemies." Jesus replied, "Is there anythin' else, Jesus?" Apple Bloom asked, "Another omen is going to come, this one will be Tom's downfall, to you dark skinned people, Humbaba's brother will rise shortly after my sacrifice." Jesus replied, the dark skinned humans were surprised, "Wait, who's Humbaba?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "When the light skinned humans made an alliance to Volvox to take us down, we were enslaved, Humbaba's attention was caught, he attacked the island and tried to free us, but Volvox and the other eight were determined to defend their own land, and fought back, they ended up killing him, Tom continued the slavery and gender roles that have been going on before it, and now, his brother is rising an army to attack them and hopes of freeing us, and avenging his brother." a male dark skinned human replied, surprising the world's natives, "I am sorry, but I will not be around for when Tom's rule is over, I am entrusting you all to keep them safe from the cruelties of slavery." Jesus said, "Don't worry, Jesus, we will." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Thank you, I must go now." Jesus said, and he walks across the water and back into Volvox's island. Slave ships dock and more dark skinned slaves come into the country, "This is the last of the dark skinned people on that island, we checked the whole island, there's literally no one on there now." a male captain said, "Good, gather all of the slaves." Tom replied, and every slave in the country was gathered together, the slaves and citizens were confused, "All archers, fire." Tom said, the citizens and slaves look at him with confusion, "Your majesty, what are you doing?" a male soldier asked, "Did you think I was going to keep these slaves in the kingdom? As soon as all of these dark skinned savages were here, I was going to have them all executed, and the time to do that is now." Tom replied, shocking the slaves and they tried to break free, "Wait!" Jesus said, the humans step to the sides as Jesus walked to in front of Tom, "I offer you a deal, Tom." Jesus said, "What is it?" Tom asked, "In exchange for the slaves and their freedom, I offer you my life." Jesus replied, shocking everybody, "What are you saying?" Tom asked, "Take my life instead, but in exchange, you must spare the slaves and free them, I want you to promise me." Jesus replied, the dark skinned humans were shocked by what he said, Tom thought about it and smiled, "Very well, getting rid of my one enemy is better than getting rid of those who cannot stand up against me, and I'll spare and free the slaves, I promise you with all of my heart." Tom said, and he ordered his soldiers to take Jesus' robe off, "Of course, those who try to rebel me get the most painful execution of my kingdom, crucifixion, but I'll make yours extra painful since you have stood against me for a long time, I have waited long for this day." Tom said, and he orders his soldiers to put Jesus on a brown wooden cross, he is placed on it with nails being hammered into his wrists, the ponies gasp at what they saw, Jesus screamed while the slaves tried to run to help, "No, stay back, Tom will kill you if you intervene, this is the only way." Jesus said, he was then whipped on his back, the world's natives look away he grunts and tries to endure the pain, Tom then ordered the crown of thorns to be put on his head, the world's natives looked away and cringed at hearing Jesus scream, nails were then hammered into his feet, Jesus did not respond, everyone thought he was dead, but Tom ordered them to make sure, and had a soldier stab a spear into his side, to his heart, Jesus did not respond. The slaves looked on at seeing Jesus, some of them began to cry, "Okay, now kill the slaves." Tom said, the slaves screamed in horror, but they were stopped by Bishamonten, "Tom, you promised to let them go." Volvox said, "So what? It's my kingdom, my rules." Tom replied, "Doesn't matter, a promise is a promise." Volvox said, "Like it maters." Tom replied, "Tom, if you do not keep your promise, I will destroy you personally." Zeus said, Tom became scared, "Yes, father." Tom replied, surprising the world's natives, "Father?" Rarity asked with confusion, "Well, go on, you all are free." Dommiel said, and the dark skinned humans begin to leave. Heavy wind begins blowing to the southwest and the humans braced themselves, "It's that wind that brought us here." Lucifer said, "Humbaba's brother must be ready to attack." Amun replied, and winged monsters appeared at the southeastern island, a demon was leading them, the world's natives found his appearance a bit uneasy, he had the body of a human, his face was a combination of lion's face and a dog's face, he had eagle talons, two pairs of eagle wings, and a scorpion's tail, "I am here in the name of vengeance, you enslaved my people, and killed my brother." the demon said, "You finally appeared, Pazuzu." Volvox said in a deadpan tone, Pazuzu used aerokinesis and electrokinesis, he blew the humans away to the southwest, he made thunder strikes hit Volvox's island, his demons flew to their island. Phoenix and Thunderbird fly to them to attack Pazuzu, but he used his wind powers to blow Phoenix's fire out, and his lightning powers to control Thunderbird. Zeus tried throwing lightning bolts at Pazuzu, he was immune to the attacks, so Zeus had no choice but to stand down, but he did try to contact the other gods to help. Odin rode Sleipnir into battle with portals opening and the Valkyries appearing behind him, they rode on horses as well, the ponies were shocked to see them. Odin orders the Valkyries to throw spears at Pazuzu, they hit his demons instead and they fell into the water, Pazuzu used his wind powers again to blow the spears to the southwest, he makes rain appear with hand gestures and then has locusts appear, they fly to the Valkyries to distract them, Pazuzu's demons attacked them while they were distracted. The sun glows and two beams of fire come out, Amun and Huitzilopochtli shoot the fire to Pazuzu, but he flies up and dodges it, he tries to blow them away with his wind powers, but Amun cancels it out with his own wind powers, he and Huitzilopochtli burn his winged demons and they fall. Archers begin shooting at Pazuzu, he sees Bishamonten was controlling them, he blows away the arrows with his wind powers, he makes lightning fall to strike the humans, but Zeus absorbed them into himself, he was not able to contact the other gods. Pazuzu was holding his ground until his winged demons began attacking one another, "What the? What are you guys doing?" Pazuzu asked, he saw other demons attack his own, he looks and saw Lucifer commanding them, he realized he was making the winged demons attack one another due to them being proud of what they are, and how strong they were, and wanting to prove they are better than the other, Pazuzu growls while he looks at Lucifer. Lucifer's eyes glow yellow and it blinds Pazuzu, he grunts and was nearly blinded, his demons fall and Typhon's children begin attacking them, some of them ate them. Vishnu begins to make the demons disappear from existence, he also revived the deceased humans, and made the locusts disappear, Pazuzu was scared of Vishnu, he was the strongest god on Volvox's island, his powers had no limit. Pazuzu tried to strike him with lightning, it did nothing, neither did his wind powers. Vishnu made the Valkyries become revived, and Pazuzu's winged demons began to fall. Typhon made himself appear at his full size, it scared the world's natives, they were also scared at the fact that he had one hundred heads, and he was made of snakes from the waist down, Typhon shoots out three hundred fire blasts, one from each eye and mouth, Pazuzu blew them away with his wind powers, but Typhon blew it back with his own wind powers, he was hit by all three hundred of them, he grunted and used his powers to blow the fire off of himself, Typhon snickered while Pazuzu struggled to put the fire out. Dommiel used his shadow powers to make himself grow, he had wings now, and his body stretched out with black shadows acting as his new body, his appearance scared Pazuzu's demons, Dommiel's helmet came off, revealing a human skull, which was not his real face, black tentacles come out of his eyes and change to tree branches, which disturbed the winged demons, Dommiel made a scythe appear and he began slashing Pazuzu's demons, but they ganged up on him and brought him down. Volvox saw it was going to take a while, so he decided to take action, he stood on his hind legs, his six eyes glowed orange, an orange sphere appeared on the bottom of his front feet, an orange sphere also appeared on the tips of his five toes that made up his front feet, and an orange sphere was in each of his three mouths, the twenty two spheres then release small orange hellfire beams everywhere, horrifying the world's natives as they hit and destroyed everything. Pazuzu's demons burn to death as Volvox's hellfire beams hit them, Pazuzu looked around in shock at seeing them fall, Volvox stopped the attack and Pazuzu was the only one left, "Stand down, Pazuzu, your people are free." Volvox said, "That's not enough, you killed my brother." Pazuzu replied, "We were just merely defending our home." Zeus said, "He wouldn't have attacked if you guys didn't enslave our people." Pazuzu replied, "That was the humans' idea, we don't have any actual power anymore." Bishamonten said, "Wait, it was?" Pazuzu asked, the nine nod, "Bring me the ruler, then." Pazuzu said, the nine look and see Tom, "Oh, never mind, the ruler's dead." Volvox said, Pazuzu looked and saw Tom's dead body, "I'm still going to avenge my brother." Pazuzu said, Volvox held his front left leg up and shot an orange hellfire blast out of his foot, it obliterated Pazuzu and he screamed, "Well, it looks like it's time to start over." Lucifer said, "Agreed." Vishnu replied, and he undid the damage Pazuzu caused, "Okay, now to deal with the traitors." Typhon said, the nine except for Volvox got ready to attack the griffons and dragons, "Wait, stand down." Volvox said, and they look at him with confusion, "Look." Volvox said, and they saw the ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs were ready to attack them if they attack the griffons and dragons, "We're gods, we can take them." Odin said, "That is not the point, if we do attack, we will have to fight them as well, which will destroy this world, which will get the Maker involved, and it will destroy us, and you guys don't want that, do you?" Volvox asked, they saw his point and stood down, the world's natives smiled, "So, what now?" a male citizen asked, "It's time for you guys to appoint a new ruler." Volvox replied, "That's easy, Tom's son." a soldier said, "Guys, Tom doesn't have any relatives, his wife got killed by Pazuzu, too, it's time for you to appoint someone new." Volvox replied, the humans were confused, "We will decide the new ruler." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans did not mind, "Very well." Volvox replied, and they all get on with their days. An hour passes and the Mane Six, rulers of Equestria, and King Thorax went to go see Jesus, "Jesus, dear." Rarity said, but they all stopped, they saw Jesus was dead, the Mane Six except for Rainbow Dash and Applejack began to cry, they all saw Princess Celestia had tears in her eyes as well, but she tried to keep herself together, "Pay your respects to him, my little ponies, he committed the ultimate act of friendship, he sacrificed himself so those treated unfairly would be spared and freed." Princess Celestia said while crying a bit, the dark skinned humans went to the crucified Jesus and they began to cry, so did the ponies and King Thorax, the Young Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, other ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs came over and cried over his body, but Rainbow Dash did not cry, she looked on sadly, so did the dragons and griffons, Applejack held her hat to her own chest, she closed her eyes, but did not cry, they all stood there and grieved over him for the rest of the day. Vishnu would revive him, but God in Heaven said he did not wish to be revived as another mortal. A few days pass and the world's natives chose the new ruler for the humans, it was a female, "To everybody, my name is Emilia, I am new to this role, so do not be harsh on my mistakes." the female said, "Okay, I hope you all like your new ruler." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, but why a female for?" a male citizen asked, "Because I've had it with the gender roles." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, I think your fellow males would disagree." a soldier said, "No." King Thorax said, and they saw male ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs, "Us, males are tired of the gender roles, too." Shining Armor said, surprising the male citizens, "You all are welcome to our countries, but to you light skinned people, if you treat the dark skinned people poorly like how you did when they were slaves, you all will receive very harsh punishments, I will also like the people who have took the life of a slave to come with me as well." Princess Celestia said, and the ones who did went with her, she punished them severely, Princess Luna punished those who treated them badly, and Princess Cadence punished the ones who took the slaves away from their homes and brought them into their kingdom to be slaves, Volvox and the other eight remained neutral again. A few days pass and the humans began attending the School of Friendship, but the light skinned humans only let the boys enter, which caused Twilight Sparkle to have a talk with them, "Everyone, I understand you all are still adjusting, but this is not how we do things." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, you said you wanted our children to have an education, and we sent them." a human mother replied, "Not just boys, I want girls in the school, too." Twilight Sparkle said, surprising the light skinned humans, "Well, send them over." Twilight Sparkle said, and they did. The world's natives also tried to change things with the gender roles, they had the males do what the females did and vice versa, some enjoyed them, some did not, and they continued living. A lot of the dark skinned humans worked on farms since manual labor was the only thing they knew, some struggled due to the torture they received, the ones working at Sweet Apple Acres had trouble due to their injuries, "Take it nice and easy now, don't push yerself." Applejack said, Apple Bloom also helped guide the injured humans, "Y'all need a break?" Apple Bloom asked, the dark skinned humans said no but thanked her, "Y'all startin' to remind me of myself." Granny Smith said, she would tell stories about her younger days to the human kids, which they enjoyed, "Everythin' alright, Big Mac." Applejack asked, "Eeyup." Big Macintosh replied as he helped the humans move heavy objects. Rarity had the dark skinned humans try sewing, the females got it done easily, but the males had trouble, "No, like this." Sweetie Belle said as she showed them, she was having fun with the humans, "Darling, don't push yourself." Rarity said, they saw a male human fall, he had less energy due to the torture he received, "Sweetie Belle, get the injured people here, I think a massage at the spa will help them with their injuries." Rarity said, and Sweetie Belle did, Rarity took them to get massages. The humans made a holiday, it was every year on the day Jesus sacrificed himself, the dark skinned humans grieved over his death that day every year, so did the world's natives, Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle made memorials in his memory in their homes, his death still saddened them every year, no matter how much time passed, it became a worldwide holiday and everycreature grieved on that day every year. The rulers of the world helped Emilia govern her people, and the humans remained on the land, slavery, gender roles, and human and animal sacrifices were abolished, the humans lived with the other creatures for years to come while Volvox and the other eight watched them grow, the six gods found another way to get their powers back, prayer, they watch and see the humans live with the other creatures and evolve for years to come. MilitaristicSomething has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.ArtisticVolvox was the first being to ever exist on Earth that was created by the gods and the Maker, he acted on his own during the time of dragons and dinosaurs, and the time of angels and demons, Volvox met Dommiel during that time, who became his best friend, they also had many different creatures roam the Earth, the two manage to befriend a ghoul named Giovi, who lost his claws in battle and replaced them with knife blades, he chose not to speak, believing actions were more powerful than words. The gods eventually created a new species together called the humans, and since Volvox was the most powerful being on the Earth, they entrusted him to take control of their evolution, which Volvox would be their supreme ruler. Volvox disliked how dangerous the world was with the other creatures making weapons and armor, along with building things for protection, he wanted people to be more creative, so he had the humans develop in visual arts, theater arts, culinary arts, performing arts, fashion, architecture, music, religion, philosophy, and many more aesthetics. The gods were very impressed with Volvox, they also gave the humans knowledge in magic to help them improve their arts, one human came from the future, he created a potion that made him immortal and gave him the ability to travel through time, he was the Count of Saint Germain, while the oldest human in the country was Tom, he was worshiped as a god due to his age and wisdom, he wore a yellow dragon robe, a black mian guan with strings attached to the front and back of the top, with beads and pearls on the strings, the front and back each had twelve strings, he also wore white pants, they were tucked into black mid-calf length boots with decorations of gold dragons on them, and he had peach skin, a round face shape, blue eyes, long white hair, and a long white beard that went down past his sternum, it was connected to sideburns and a full moustache. The Count of Saint Germain had an inverted triangular face, somewhat pale skin, straight bright blond hair that went down to his scapulae, a full, well trimmed and groomed moustache, and green eyes, he was wearing a black top hat, a red double breasted long-sleeve tailcoat with black buttons on each side and was undone and black on the inside, and had a white double folded pocket square in the pocket on the left side of his tailcoat, he also wore a black buttoned up vest with gold buttons, a collar of a white shirt could be seen at the top of his vest, a black ascot with white polka dots was tucked into his shirt, he had two gold chains on the right side of his abdomen, and two silver chains on the left side of his waist, he was wearing white striped pants, and white shoes with black throats, vamps, toe caps, and heels, it was tightened by a gold strap going across the throat. Volvox did not wear any fancy outfits while Dommiel and Giovi wore their usual attire, they liked how creative the humans were, they were the most peaceful nation in the land, the humans held a vote and decided to call the nation Vinci, their creations made them one of the most powerful nations on Earth, Volvox had a big wall surround Vinci to protect it from harm. Volvox and the meditating humans sense something off and their land was being transferred, "Everybody, get ready to protect your creation from damage." Volvox said, and they were transferred. The people of Equestria were getting on with their days, but they hear a noise in the sea that was to the northeast of Canterlot and southeast of the Crystal Empire, Vinci appeared right before their eyes, the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs look at it with curiosity, the kirins and buffaloes saw it as well, but mostly ignored it, they could not see anything due to the wall around it, it was mostly gray, but was decorated with sculptures of pink roses and green vines, "Oh, I must say those flower decorations are quite pretty." Rarity said, "Hey, look above the wall." Spike said, and they all saw tall architecture above them, "Wow, they look diverse." Fluttershy said, the others nodded. A white cloud comes down and goes to Canterlot's balcony, where Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were at, the cloud formed into Hermes, which surprised the ponies, "I am Hermes, the messenger of the gods, that nation there was transferred here due to a magic spell gone wrong on our part." Hermes said, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna laughed, "We apologize for the inconvenience." Hermes said, "It's alright, I think having them here gives us a wonderful opportunity to make new friends." Princess Celestia said, Hermes just bowed, "Well, go on and fix it, we have no complaints." Princess Celestia said, and Hermes went back up into the sky. The world's natives look at Vinci and were curious about what was on the inside, "I wanna see what's inside." Pinkie Pie said, "We all do, Pinkie." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I see a lot right now, and it looks awesome!" Rainbow Dash said, they all still wondered about how it looked as a whole, Hermes floated in the sky and was above Vinci, much bigger than before, "Volvox!" Hermes said, Volvox came out and stood on the ceiling, everycreature was shocked to see the giant three headed creature, "What is it?" Volvox asked, "I'm sorry to say this, but since you're in a new world, you have to take the wall down, you will draw suspicion upon yourself if you don't." Hermes replied, "Oh, fine." Volvox said, and Hermes went back up into the sky. The wall divides into four and goes into the water and reveals Vinci to the world's natives, they all gasp and look with awe, the north of Vinci had the Great Wall with the Sistine Chapel behind it, the northwest had the Great Pyramid of Giza and smaller pyramids, the Statue of Liberty, the Big Ben clock tower, and the Eiffel Tower, the northeast had the Burj Khalifa, Moai, and the Leshan Giant Buddha, the east had the Taj Mahal, the west had the Parthenon, the southeast had Angkor Wat, Seitenkyū, Al-Khazneh, and Prambanan, the southwest had the Sedlec Ossuary, the Terracotta Army, and Notre-Dame de Paris, the south had the Colosseum, and the center of Vinci had El Castillo, which Volvox was standing on. The world's natives look at the place with awe at what they saw, "Wow, that place is beautiful." Twilight Sparkle said, "Come on, let's go." Rainbow Dash said, and they all enter the hot air balloon and head to Vinci. The Mane Six and Spike look and see the other creatures were going over to view the place, even Princess Celestia and Princess Luna wanted to look, they fly over and see many more things, they saw highly decorated vases and pots of different shapes and colors, many different forms of writing, they saw regular writing, along with hieroglyphs, calligraphy with a quill, pens, and brushes, sculptures of Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Apollo, Athena, Hermes, Amun, Ra, Sobek, Anubis, Odin, Frigg, Thor, Loki, Gautama Buddha, Agyō, Ungyō, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Susanoo, Ebisu, Daikokuten, Bishamonten, Benzaiten, Jurōjin, Hotei, Fukurokuju, Inti, Huitzilopochtli, Quetzalcoatl, Tabaldak, Glooscap, and Gitche Manitou. The humans had many paintings, books, drawings, pots, foods and drinks to consume, scrolls, and musical instruments, everybody also wore a diverse amount of clothing. The world's natives were in awe and wanted to explore already, "WOW!!" Silverstream said excitedly, "My goodness, Equestria has never seen such magnificence in artwork." Princess Celestia said, "Hey, Volvox, look at all of the visitors." Dommiel said, "I know, I see them." Volvox replied, the humans continued with their days, the world's natives continue looking on with awe, "Eh, it's alright." Grampa Gruff said, "Hey!" Princess Ember said, the humans look at her, "Do you guys have any armor?" Princess Ember asked, several humans come and they all had knight and samurai armor, each one was decorated with coat of arms and family emblems, much to the world's natives surprises, "Oh my, even their armor is fashionable." Rarity said, "I think this place might be worth checking out." Princess Ember said, the others agree, "Okay, just don't break anything." Volvox said, and the world's natives go down to explore. Twilight Sparkle flies around and looks for books, she was hoping to learn their literature, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans look at her, "Do you have any books I can read?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "My, of course, this way." a male human replied, and he takes her to a library, Twilight Sparkle was in awe, "Wow, you guys actually read a lot."

So many books! Spike, get the books, I'm ready to read all of them!" Twilight Sparkle said, the humans chuckle, "Alright, Twilight, I'm here." Spike said, and he got every book, Twilight Sparkle and Spike fly home and Twilight Sparkle begins reading. Rainbow Dash looked at the military personnel and liked their armor, "Your uniforms look so cool." Rainbow Dash said, the knights and samurais laugh, "Take a look at this." a male samurai said, and he unsheathed his katana, Rainbow Dash looks and sees the samurai had kanji characters engraved in his sword's blade, "Wow!" Rainbow Dash said, the humans show her their weapons and she sees they had vines and flowers engraved in the blades as well, she looks and sees the predatory animals decorated on the shields of the knights as well, "How long did it take for you guys to make them?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Long time, sometimes years." a male knight replied, "I wanna see all of them." Rainbow Dash said, and they show her and the engravings in their swords, spears, axes, and hammers, there was also decorations engraved on metallic handles, and the wooden parts of each weapon had carvings on them, Rainbow Dash was impressed, "That is so cool." Rainbow Dash said, the humans then show her their armor and she looks at the decorations on them as well. Fluttershy walks around and saw many butterflies and birds flying around, much to her delight, she looks and sees the humans had cats, dogs, tigers, lions, bears, alligators, snakes, foxes, lizards, monkeys, falcons, eagles, turtles, anteaters, leopards, jaguars, and bugs being treated and well groomed by the humans, Fluttershy went to them, "Excuse me." Fluttershy said, the humans look at her, "Do you all need any help?" Fluttershy asked, the humans agree, "You can help by feeding and grooming the animals." a female human replied, and Fluttershy went over. Fluttershy begins to take care of the animals and groom them, she spoke to them in a soft and friendly voice, the animals loved her, "Wow, you're actually pretty good at this." a second female human said, "Thank you, I run an animal shelter at my cottage." Fluttershy replied, "That explains a lot." a third female human said, "Are there anymore animals that need tending?" Fluttershy asked, "Yes, over here, ma'am." a male human replied, Fluttershy sees him and goes to help him tend to the dogs. Pinkie Pie was looking at the sweets and food art of the place, "Ooh, chocolate art." Pinkie Pie said as she looked at the chocolates being shaped and molded into various pictures such as butterflies, animals, and even life sized sculptures of people and objects. Pinkie Pie keeps looking and was in awe when she saw humans carving art into watermelons, she also saw fruits and vegetables being cut and carved to form shapes like flowers and animal heads on the plates, she looks and saw cappuccino coffee with various faces and shapes in them, Pinkie Pie was having so much fun looking around, she sees the humans making them and trots to them, "Excuse me." Pinkie Pie said, the humans look at her, "Where are all of the cakes, pies, and candy at?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Ah, you want the confectionery area over there." a male human replied as he pointed his left index finger, Pinkie Pie turns around and sees many different shapes, forms, and colors of cakes, Pinkie Pie gasped at what she saw and ran there. The humans work and Pinkie Pie dashed in, she looks at the sweets and admired them, her mouth watered, "Hey! Careful!" a male human said as he ran to her and closed her mouth, "If you're hungry, you can eat those on the table over there." the male human said, Pinkie Pie looks to her left and saw small samples of the food they used for art, Pinkie Pie's mouth stopped watering, she stopped smiling as well, "Those don't look appetizing." Pinkie Pie said, "They're the same food we use to make the art, they taste the same." the male human replied, Pinkie Pie was reluctant, but tried the food samples, "Hmm, tasty." Pinkie Pie said, and she ate the samples, "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!" another male human said really quickly and held Pinkie Pie back, "Hey!" Pinkie Pie said, "Don't eat all of it, there are other people who want to try them out, too." the second male human replied, Pinkie Pie became embarrassed at the moment, but she went back and tried several samples. Rarity trots around and was enamored with the fashion, she liked the shendyt, the kalasiris, the toga, the chiton, the sari, the choli, the hanfu, the cheongsam, the charro suit, the sombrero, the escaramuza, the pollera, every type of hijab, the áo dài, the áo gấm, the panung, the sinh, the kimono, the hakama, the kasa, the kanga, the dress shirts, the tailcoats, the blazers, the tall hat, the black tie and white tie attire gowns, the corsage, the dress shoes, the high heels, and the various sandals, "My, I must say, what a lovely amount of diversity in fashion." Rarity said, "Muchas gracias, senorita, we have taken much time to make these." a female human replied, "I'm sure it did, darling, I'm Rarity by the way, fashion designer and dressmaker." Rarity said, "Well, hello, we can always use more fashion designers." a male human replied, "Oh my, what a fancy outfit you're wearing." Rarity said as she looked at his well groomed curly hair, red double breasted tailcoat, white ascot, dark yellow striped shirt, white pants that went just below his knees, white tights under his pants, and black shoes with red ribbons on them, he had a white top hat in his left hand, and a brown cane in his right hand, "What you're looking at there is called a dandy, there are more over there." the female human replied, Rarity sees them and they all had on similar outfits, some also had umbrellas, Rarity chuckled, "My, what diversity." Rarity said, but she stops when she saw several humans wearing neck rings and lip plates, she was uncomfortable, "I can't say I like those neck and lip things there." Rarity said, she looks around more and saw several people also had elongated earlobes, which made her very uncomfortable, "Um, darlings, I'm going to go elsewhere now." Rarity said, and she left while the humans said bye to her. Applejack travels around and went to go look at the gardens that were everywhere on the ground, she was going to an arboretum, she was enjoying the many types of trees there were, "Hey, where are the apple trees, y'all." Applejack asked, "Over there, to your left." a female woman replied as she pointed there with her right index finger, Applejack looks and sees apple trees, along with many other trees that had other fruits on them. Applejack looks at the trees and was in awe, "Wow, Ah've never seen such pretty trees in mah life." Applejack said, she continues looking and sees a garden up ahead, she saw flowers, vegetables, rocks, stepping stones in water, and lampposts made out of stone with candles in them, "Ah gotta say, them gardens are very pretty." Applejack said, "It's better if you see it from high ground. This way." a male human replied, and he takes Applejack to a deck that was nearby, Applejack looks and sees the plants and food in the gardens were planted in specific ways so they make shapes and words when seen from above, "Whoa, Ah've never seen plants used like that before." Applejack said, "I didn't think so, it takes years of practice to master." the male human replied, "Ah'd reckon, but it doesn't seem practical, y'all gotta eat." Applejack said, "That's the beauty of our garden, once when we pick the food, the open tops will create a new picture." the male human replied, Applejack smiled as she looked and admired the gardens from above. Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle travel together and see kids working, they trot to them, "What are y'all doin'?" Apple Bloom asked, the kids move aside and show them the artwork on the manholes, "These are the sewers for getting rid of the pee and poop everybody creates, we're drawing pictures onto them." a boy replied, "Can I try?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Come with us, let's see if we can find a manhole with no artwork on it." a girl replied, and they travel together, "Here's one." a second girl said, and they see it, the kids give Sweetie Belle and paintbrush and paint, "Thank you." Sweetie Belle said, and she begins using telekinesis to paint, "You have telekinesis?" a second boy asked, "Yes." Sweetie Belle replied, "I can walk on clouds." Scootaloo said, "And Ah have enhanced strength and growing food magic." Apple Bloom said, "That's cool, we built those big buildings by using telekinesis, we also have fire, water, earth, and wind magic." a third girl replied, Sweetie Belle begins painting the manhole cover, "Finished." Sweetie Belle said, and they all see it was a picture of Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle, the three were smiling in the picture, "Wow, you're a good painter." the first girl said, "Thank you." Sweetie Belle replied, "Can we try?" Scootaloo asked, "Sure, come on, let's see if we can find anymore manholes to paint." the first boy replied, and they walk together. Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream walk around together and admire the views, "Wow, this must've took years to complete." Sandbar said, "It's fancier than Griffonstone, I'll give it that." Gallus replied, "Ooh, ooh, look at those two statues over there." Silverstream said, and they all see the statues of Agyō and Ungyō, "Ooh, Yona like statues." Yona said, Ocellus jumps back and yelps, "What is it, Ocellus?" Sandbar asked, he looks at where she looked and says "Whoa!" as he jumped back, the other four look and see small statues of Papa Legba, Baron Samedi, Baron Cimitière, Baron La Croix, Baron Kriminel, Maman Brigitte, Elegua, Ibeji, Ìyá Nlá, Nana Buluku, Orunmila, Oshosi, Oshun, Oshunmare, Agwé, Bacalou, Belie Belcan, Anaisa Pye, Damballa, Ghede Nibo, Gran Maître, Grand Bois, and Kalfu, "Wow, those actually look kind of scary." Smolder said, "Tell me about it, these might give me nightmares." Sandbar replied, "But look at the details, and how small they are, isn't it amazing?" Silverstream asked, they all look and see each statue was so small, they could literally be destroyed by stepping on them, "Yona must admit, statue making is impressive." Yona said, "I still wonder why they had to make them look so scary." Ocellus replied, "Maybe it's a test of nerves." Smolder said, "Come on, let's look for more." Sandbar said, the others agree and they decide to look around for more small statues. Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst trot together and admire the sculptures all around Vinci, "Wow, I can't imagine how much time must've been put into to make these." Starlight Glimmer said, they look at the Bust of Nefertiti and thought it was beautiful, the next sculpture they see was Laocoön and His Sons, "That guy doesn't look comfortable." Sunburst said, "Yeah, it looks like he's in pain, it's actually kind of hard for me to look at." Starlight Glimmer replied, Sunburst nodded in agreement, the two walk around and see Moses, "Does he have horns on his head?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Yeah, he does, small ones, though, almost like baby yak horns." Sunburst replied, and they look for the next one and see David, "That sculpture wouldn't be allowed in Equestria." Sunburst said, "They might want to cover him with something." Starlight Glimmer replied, and they keep looking, they look at the Leshan Giant Buddha, even though it was far away, "I can't imagine how long it must've took to build that." Starlight Glimmer said, "Me neither, probably longer than Princess Celestia has been alive." Sunburst replied, they look around and see the Statue of Liberty next, also far away, "I bet that took a long time to build, too." Sunburst said, Starlight Glimmer nodded, they turn around and see a sculpture of The Kiss, "Aw, that looks so romantic." Starlight Glimmer said, Sunburst smiled, they see a sculpture of The Thinker beside it, "He looks like he's thinking." Sunburst said, "About what, though?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Who knows, maybe he's just thinking in general." Sunburst replied, Starlight Glimmer smiled and they continue walking around to admire the views around them even more. Autumn Blaze was excited and she trotted across the water to go see Vinci, but she stopped when she saw sculptures underwater, "Whoa." Autumn Blaze said with awe as she looked down at the sculptures, she walks forward slowly while admiring the sculptures under the country, "What'cha doin', Autumn Blaze?" Applejack asked, startling Autumn Blaze, "Whoa! Don't scare me like that. There's more artwork under the water." Autumn Blaze replied, "Really?" Applejack asked, Autumn Blaze nodded excitedly, Applejack looks down and sees small parts of them, "Wow, Ah didn't think they'd have that, Ah'll let ya get back to yer admirin, then." Applejack said, "Thanks." Autumn Blaze replied, and Applejack left. Autumn Blaze walks around and looks at the underwater art, she was in awe at what she saw, "Hey!" a male human said, Autumn Blaze yelps with surprise, "You almost stepped on the water lilies." the male human said, Autumn Blaze looks and see them, they had pink flowers on them, "Aw, they are so cute." Autumn Blaze said, and she continues looking around and admiring the underwater art. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna went to go look at the Terracotta Army, "What do you think, sister?" Princess Luna asked, "I'm baffled, I've never seen artwork like this before." Princess Celestia replied, "Me neither, I can't imagine how long this must've took to make." Princess Luna said, "Well, whoever did did a great job." Princess Celestia replied, Princess Luna could not agree more, they continue to admire the Terracotta Army and wondered if the country really had an army that big in the past, "Excuse me." Princess Celestia said as she saw the Count of Saint Germain walking by, he walks to her, "Yes?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "How many of these soldiers are there?" Princess Celestia asked, "Over eight thousand, they are built to defend the deceased in the afterlife." the Count of Saint Germain replied, the two look at the Terracotta Army with surprise, "Look, sister, I see horses and chariots in the back, too." Princess Luna said, she looks and was surprised, "Wow, I must admit, you all did a great job creating these, it'd take us years to make this, even with magic." Princess Celestia said, Princess Luna chuckles and they continue admiring the Terracotta Army. The day was coming to an end and everycreature gathered around Volvox, "Are you the ruler, Volvox?" Princess Celestia asked, "Yes, I have others to help me." Volvox replied, "Who else is in charge?" Shining Armor asked, "I am as well, name's Dommiel, I am Volvox's bodyguard and second-in-command." Dommiel replied, "You look very different from the others." Applejack said, "That's because I'm a surviving member of another time period, I'm a demon, most of my kind are extinct." Dommiel replied, surprising the world's natives, "Who else is in charge?" Princess Ember asked, "Giovi over there, he's from another country, he looks different because of his own culture, he's a quiet one, and lets his actions do the talking." Volvox replied, "I am the Count of Saint Germain, I am the one who gave the people knowledge in magic, I am a time traveler from the future." the Count of Saint Germain said, surprising the world's natives, "My, Saint Germain, what an exquisite outfit you're wearing." Rarity said happily, "I am Tom, I take care of the daily activities in this country, I am worshiped as a god due to me being the oldest native in this country." Tom said, "Tom? Are you wearing a dress?" Rarity asked with surprise, "No, it's a robe, you can see my pants at the bottom of it." Tom replied, Rarity looks and saw part of his white pants that he wore under the robe, "Oh, I see, darling, I really do like that hat." Rarity said, Tom smiled, "This is a wonderful country, we would like to establish relationships." Princess Celestia said, "I'll have to hold a vote first, you all are welcome here for now, but be careful not to break anything, and watch that baby there, last thing we need is that baby destroying the things we built." Volvox replied while he pointed his front right index claw to Flurry Heart, "Understood, we'll try our best to keep an eye on her." Shining Armor said, "You better, or there will be consequences." Volvox replied, "Come on, everycreature, it's late, we should go home." Princess Celestia said, they agree and all head home. Princess Luna enters the dream realm and saw everypony dream of the things in Vinci, she was enjoying the sights, "Ah, what lovely dreams." Princess Luna said, she smiles and goes through the dreams, she sees a foal had a dream of the painting The Starry Night, "Oh my, what a beautiful painting, if I do say so, myself." Princess Luna said, she keeps looking and sees more paintings, she saw Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, Girl with a Pearl Earring, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, The Scream, The Nightmare, The Birth of Venus, American Gothic, Arnolfini Portrait, The School of Athens, Whistler's Mother, The Ambassadors, Christina's World, Liberty Leading the People, A Friend in Need, The Great Wave off Kanagawa, and Fine Wind, Clear Morning, "Oh my, these paintings are beautiful." Princess Luna said, she continues looking and was enjoying the paintings she saw in the dream realm, she continues looking at the pictures and enjoys them, she was having a great time in the dream realm, she continues looking around and saw the foals were dreaming of all of the artwork in Vinci, "*laugh* I can't blame them, I'm inspired to try out some of their art if I do say so, myself." Princess Luna said, she smiles and continues going through the dream realm and zapped away any nightmares the foals had. The next morning comes and everycreature sees Volvox was already meeting up with the construction people, "We've thought about building this, Emperor Volvox." a male human said, Volvox uses his telekinesis to bring up the blueprint, he sees it was a blueprint on the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, "Where are you guys planning to build it?" Volvox asked, "Back there, behind the Great Wall." the male human replied, Volvox looks over his right shoulder with his three heads and sees there was enough space, he looks back, "What else are you all planning to build?" Volvox asked, "These, again, behind the Great Wall." the male human replied, and he is shown the blueprints of the Capitol, the White House, the Supreme Court Building, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln Memorial, "Is that all?" Volvox asked, the humans nod, "Hold on." Volvox said, he turns around and uses his magic to make the country even bigger, surprising the world's natives, "Let's go, everybody." the male human said, and they all begin building. The humans begin using their geokinesis, aerokinesis, and telekinesis while they build, the geokinesis and telekinesis lifted up the building materials while the humans used aerokinesis to reach the higher areas of the buildings, along with overseeing the constructions, they hear music playing, they also hear singing, they look and saw the humans who were building the six buildings were the ones playing music and singing, the song was Coro di Zingari, the ponies, yaks, changelings, hippogriffs, and kirins thought it sounded beautiful while the dragons and griffons were annoyed, they watch the humans build and they were going quickly, they finish the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda after about an hour and it surprised the world's natives, "Dang, they're fast workers." Rainbow Dash said, "No kiddin', Ah can't believe they can build somethin' like that that fast." Applejack replied, "Look, they're building more." Twilight Sparkle said, and they continue watching, the humans finish the song and the next song that plays and they sing Possente Amor Mi Chiama, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie were dancing to the music while the humans worked. Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom watched the construction carefully and made sure they did not make any mistakes, "That new guy there looks tired already." Dommiel said, "I see him." Volvox replied, and they see the tired male teenager, "I guess he's not used to working, yet." the Count of Saint Germain said, Giovi nodded, "Give him time, he was only hired yesterday." Tom replied, they see him get tired and lost his energy, he began to fall while Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, Tom, and the other construction workers use telekinesis to catch him, "Give it time, you'll get used to it." a female construction worker said, and they continue working while Volvox and his four assistants watch them to make sure everything goes right. The mirror in Twilight Sparkle's castle glows and Sunset Shimmer appears, "Okay, I'm here, where's this new place you wrote to me about?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "This way, Sunset, follow me." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they trot there. Sunset Shimmer goes to the shore of Equestria to the east and sees Vinci, "Wow, that place is beautiful." Sunset Shimmer said, "I know, I'm hoping we can establish relationships so we can use their techniques to make new art of our own." Twilight Sparkle replied, they hear the humans working singing La donna è mobile, the two listen with surprise, "Wow, even our opera singing ponies in Canterlot would have trouble singing notes that high." Twilight Sparkle said, "I wonder if anypony would sing that good." Sunset Shimmer replied, Twilight Sparkle smiles at the thought, the song finishes, they all begin to play and sing Ah! non giunge, the two move side to side while they enjoy the female singing, they look and see Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart were on balconies and listening as well, they were greatly enjoying the music, "I think the Pony Tones would enjoy singing with them." Twilight Sparkle said, Sunset Shimmer nodded even though she did not know who they were, "Come on, Sunset, let's go over to visit." Twilight Sparkle said, and the two teleport there. Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer arrive and they hear bells ringing to the southwest and heard them coming from the Notre-Dame de Paris, "Wow, they sound beautiful." Twilight Sparkle said, "I agree, they have a nice sound to them." Sunset Shimmer replied, they continue listening to the bells along with the construction people singing opera as they worked, they look and see Autumn Blaze trotting around and enjoying the place, "Who is that?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "I actually don't know." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Wow, this place is gate. Grate. Great. I have so much to learn from here." Autumn Blaze said and she trots around to look around more, "That's the ruler over there." Twilight Sparkle said as she looked at Volvox, Sunset Shimmer trots to him, "Excuse me." Sunset Shimmer said, Volvox turns around and looks at her, "Can I paint a picture of your country?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Wait until my workers over there finish building, first, I think it'll make your painting better." Volvox replied, "Okay, let me know when they're done." Sunset Shimmer said, and she continues exploring the country. The humans were meeting with Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Sandbar, Gallus, Gilda, Gabby, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, Silverstream, Terramar, and Autumn Blaze, they were led to go see Tom, who was sitting in his throne, "Alright, I'm going to need you all to tell me what you are for documenting reasons." Tom said, "I'm a unicorn." Sweetie Belle said, surprising the humans, "You look nothing like the unicorns from our home." the Count of Saint Germain said, "What do they look like?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Hold on, let's see if I can get one in this world with my magic." Volvox said, and he tries it, he makes one appear in Vinci, those present were in awe, "Wow, it looks almost like Princess Celestia." Sweetie Belle said, even though the unicorn had a white mane and tail, "Well, moving on, how about you?" Tom asked, "Pegasus." Scootaloo said, surprising the humans, "Let me guess, your Pegasus is different, too." Scootaloo said, "Actually, yes, it is." Dommiel replied, "Can we see it?" Silverstream asked, "Hold on." Volvox replied, and he makes one appear, "Wow, that one looks like Princess Celestia, too." Sandbar said, "Well, how about you two?" Tom asked, "We're earth ponies." Sandbar replied, confusing the humans, "You guys look like regular horses to me." the Count of Saint Germain said, "We ain't, we can grow food and crops." Apple Bloom replied, "And we have enhanced physical strength and stamina when compared to a unicorn and a Pegasus." Sandbar said, "Can't you all grow food?" Tom asked, "Nope, that's an earth pony exclusive ability." Sweetie Belle replied, "Yeah, our food is grown by magic." Sandbar said, "I see, interesting. What about you three?" Tom asked, "Why do you even care?" Gallus asked, "Yeah, can't you tell by just looking at us?" Gilda asked, "It's for documenting purposes." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "We're griffins." Gabby said, "Griffins?" Volvox asked, "Yeah, you got a problem with that?" Gilda asked, "Sorry, but you're the only one that looks like a griffin." Tom replied, "Do you guys have different races or something?" Dommiel asked, "Well, kind of, yes." Gabby replied, "No wonder why you two look so different." Volvox said, "Alright, next, what are you?" Tom asked, "A changeling." Ocellus replied, "Is that your regular form?" Volvox asked, "Yes." Ocellus replied, "Wow, what a difference." Dommiel replied, "What are you talking about?" Ocellus asked, "Changelings from our world are fairies." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Oh, I love fairies, I once wrote a play on them." Autumn Blaze said, "Hopefully, they're not like the changelings from our world." Volvox said, "Are they bad?" Ocellus asked, "Yes, they kidnap infants and elderly and take their place." Tom replied, shocking those present, "Oh no, we don't do that, we've reformed ever since our previous ruler was overthrown." Ocellus said, "Okay, what are you?" Tom asked, "Yona yak." Yona replied, "Are they all brown like you?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "No, yaks different color." Yona replied, "We've got some yaks in our world, but they can't speak like you." Dommiel said, they look around and see them, "Ooh, maybe Yona can teach them things." Yona said, "Okay, good, what are you?" Tom asked, "Can't you tell by just looking at me?" Smolder asked, "Is there any specific name your species goes by?" Volvox asked, "No, we're just dragons." Smolder replied, "What type of dragon?" Dommiel asked, "Just dragon!" Smolder replied in an annoyed tone, "You don't look like any dragon we've ever seen." Volvox said, "Wait, I don't?" Smolder asked, Volvox uses his magic and finds three dragons from Earth, a wyvern, a Chinese dragon, and a long dragon shaped like a snake, "Wow, I didn't know there were different types of dragons." Smolder said, "Okay, what are you two?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "We're hippogriffs." Terramar replied, "But..." Silverstream said, and she changes to a seapony, she says "We can also change into seaponies, and go underwater." "In other words, you all can change from a hippogriff to a seahorse." Volvox said, "Seapony." Terramar replied, "Is there a difference?" Dommiel asked, "It's just the proper term." Silverstream replied, "You guys look nothing like our hippogriffs." Volvox said, "Ooh, I wanna see! I wanna see!" Silverstream replied excitedly, Volvox sighs as he makes a hippogriff from Earth appear, "Wow, it really is different." Terramar said, they see the hippogriff had the front half of an eagle, and the rear half of a horse, "Alright, last one, what are you?" Tom asked, "I'm a kirin, half unicorn, half dragon, and I change into a nirik when I'm angry." Autumn Blaze replied, "Okay, so this world uses the Japanese term for them." Volvox said, "What are you guys talking about?" Autumn Blaze asked, "In our world, your kind has multiple names, kirin is one, but the most common name is qilin." Tom replied, "Qilin?" Autumn Blaze asked, "Yes, kirin is not a very common name for your kind in our world, you look nothing like them, either." Volvox replied, "What do they look like?" Autumn Blaze asked, "They have multiple forms." Dommiel replied, "I wanna see all of them." Autumn Blaze said, and Volvox uses his magic to make them appear, one had a dragon's head, scales, and a horse's body; another kirin had an oxen body, a dragon's head, two horns on its head, and ornaments of fire on its head; another kirin had a dragon's head, oxen hooves, skin and scales of a fish, deer antlers, and a lion's tail; another kirin had the torso of a deer, an ox's tail; another kirin had a tiger's head, a lion's mane, ox hoofs, a lion's tail, fish scales, and two horns; two more kirins appear and they looked just like giraffes, one was gold, and another was every color of the rainbow, "Wow, I didn't know there were so many." Autumn Blaze said, "They have multiple names, too, they're qilin, kirin, girin, gilen, and kỳ lân." Volvox replied, "Just kirin is fine." Autumn Blaze said, "Well, that is all, thank for your time, you all may go." Tom said, and they leave. Nothing eventful happens until near the end of the day, Rainbow Dash was looking around and sees mandalas around, "Wow, those actually look pretty cool." Rainbow Dash said, she continues admiring the mandalas on the walls. Pinkie Pie was looking at the food art and admiring them very much, "Can I eat them?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Samples are over there." a female human said, Pinkie Pie runs to them and begins eating the samples. Applejack walks around becomes very surprised when saw wood carvings in some of the trees, she trots to them and admires them, "Wow, Ah'm sure these took time to make." Applejack said, and she continues looking at the carvings. The day continues and night time came shortly after the world's natives left. Princess Luna rises the moon with her magic and was ready to go to the dream realm, but she stops when she sees something that caught her by surprise, "What the?" Princess Luna asked, she looks and saw a rabbit in the moon, Princess Luna stared at it in disbelief, she saw the rabbit was pounding something with a wooden hammer, Princess Luna could not tell what it was, she hears the foals in the dream realm and quickly heads there to do her duties, she looks and sees the artwork of Vinci in their dreams, "Ah, what beautiful artworks." Princess Luna said, and she admires the artwork for the night. The next day comes and Princess Celestia went to go see Tom at Vinci, "Ah, it's you, what brings you here?" Tom asked, "I was wondering if we could establish relationships with your country, your artworks are wonderful." Princess Celestia replied, "Thank you, but is there any particular reason why?" Tom asked, "Well, it's so we don't have any wars or fights breaking out, and so we can live together in peace, without having to worry about fighting one another." Princess Celestia replied nervously and embarrassingly, Volvox can clearly see she just wanted to have their ways of making art so it can be brought to Equestria, "Is there anything you'd like to do to establish a good relationship?" Tom asked, "Well, I was hoping you all could share your ways of making art, I think this world would love to know how they're made." Princess Celestia replied, Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom notice Princess Celestia looking at a picture behind the five, it was a sculpture of four animals, the left one was a white tiger, the right one was a blue dragon, the top one was a black turtle, and the bottom one was a red bird, they can tell Princess Celestia loved the picture, "Well, if that's the case, then we would need you to share your ways as well." Tom said, "Fair enough, I can arrange for that." Princess Celestia replied, and she flew away. Princess Celestia begins doing paperwork to have diplomacy with Vinci, which she was looking forward to, she went back after a few minutes, "Okay, Tom, go ahead and sign here." Princess Celestia said, and he got a quill and signed his name in cursive, which Princess Celestia liked, "Okay, that was easy, hope we all get along, and you all can come to Equestria if you wish." Princess Celestia said, "Okay, thank you." Tom replied, and she flew around and continued exploring Vinci. The humans give Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream a tour since they requested it, "You all ready to enter the Sistine Chapel?" the male human guiding them asked, they nodded while exclaiming with excitement, "Okay, here we go." the male human said, and he opens the doors, they enter and they were all in awe at the ceiling, "Look at that ceiling!" Rainbow Dash said, "Judging by how many different paintings and layers there are in them, this must've took years to finish." Twilight Sparkle replied, Gallus and Smolder laugh, "What's so funny, guys?" Sandbar asked, "Look at that one right there." Smolder replied as she pointed her right index claw at a picture of a man with his buttocks exposed, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo laugh while the others smile and were almost laughing, "That reminds me, how are you enjoying our books, purple one?" the male human asked, "I like them, so many to read, I'll admit there are some I don't like." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Which ones?" the male human asked, "I really didn't like 1984, it was so cruel, The Ugly Duckling made me kind of sad, too, so did The Little Mermaid, the end made me sad, but the others are kind of hard for me to understand." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Are you enjoying them?" the male human asked, "Well, yes, overall." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Would you like someone to explain them to you?" the male human asked, "No, it's fine, I'll figure out what's going on on my own." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Wow, so many pictures." Silverstream said as she flew around, "Best art gallery ever!" Pinkie Pie said, "Well, enjoy." the male human replied, and they do. Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst were looking at something that caught their eyes, it was round with symbols engraved into them, "Excuse me." Starlight Glimmer said, "Yes." a male human said as he walked to her, "What is this?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "What you're looking at there is an Aztec calendar, there's two types, this one here has eighteen months, each month is twenty days, and there are five days inserted into it that are not part of the months." the human replied, "What's the other type?" Sunburst asked, "The other calendar is divided into thirteen days, basically, the other calendar is made up of twenty months, each one is thirteen days." the human replied, Starlight Glimmer becomes confused and does the math in her head, she saw the amount of days in the two calendars were different, "I have to admit, it looks like all of that carving took a long time." Sunburst said, "It did, probably months." the human replied, "Still, why is the amount of days in the two calendars different?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "They represent different things, the big calendar represents the days of the year, while the small one represents which deity in their culture is their time to rule." the human replied, "Wow, I never thought of it that way." Starlight Glimmer said, "It's still kind of confusing to understand, though." Sunburst said, "Well, go on and look, maybe you'll understand it a bit better after observing it." the human replied, and he walks away while Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst observe the three hundred sixty five day calendar. Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and Flurry Heart see the humans making art with food and drinks, Flurry Heart burbled and was excited, she flew around and decided to try on her own, but she began destroying the art, "Hey! What are you doing?!" a male human asked, and the humans run to restrain her, Flurry Heart made baby noises as she tried to reach for the food art she was trying. Shining Armor and Princess Cadence run to them and see Flurry Heart actually took pieces from the already made artworks to make her own, "No, Flurry Heart, look at what you're doing." Princess Cadence said, and she does, Flurry Heart saw the art she destroyed and felt bad, "We're terribly sorry, she's a curious one." Shining Armor said, "Well, it's normal for her age, maybe we can find something for her to do without destroying our art." a female human replied, Flurry Heart made excited baby noises, "Hmm, maybe I can entertain her." the male human from earlier said, and he gets a bottle and a lot of drinks of different colors, "Okay, watch this, this is a popular one, this is called the pousse-café." the male human said, and he makes it while Flurry Heart watches with excitement, the human finishes and Flurry Heart cheers, she decides to try one on her own, but could not get the colors to be separate like how the human did, she started to get irritated, "Patience, young one, this took me years to master, too." the male human said, and Shining Armor and Princess Cadence go over to watch, they were also impressed by the pousse-café, Flurry Heart could not get the colors stacked and flew around quickly while trying different colors, she went quickly and made some of the bottles shake and fall, the other humans caught them, "Hey, careful, you almost dropped the bottles." the human said as he held Flurry Heart, she looks and sees them almost shaking, she looked down. Pinkie Pie dashed to them and looked at the pousse-café, "Can I try?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Sure, but don't drop the glass bottles." the male human replied, and Pinkie Pie tried, she could not get the different colors stacked, Pinkie Pie screamed, "I can't get it right!" Pinkie Pie said and she tried again, "Um, would you like to watch me make it?" the male human asked, "Okay. Sure." Pinkie Pie replied happily, unnerving the human, "Alright, here goes." the male human said, and he begins to make another pousse-café while Pinkie Pie, Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and Flurry Heart watched. The day ends with nothing in particular happening and Princess Luna entered the dream realm, she saw the rabbit in the moon again, but she ignored it and got on with her duties, she focuses and saw the ponies dream of the new art from Vinci again, "Ah, new art again." Princess Luna said, and she looks, she watches and saw carvings in a metallic object, "What is this?" Princess Luna asked, and she saw twelve animals in the carving, they were a rat, an ox, a tiger, a rabbit, a dragon, a snake, a horse, a goat, a monkey, a rooster, a dog, and a pig, it confused her, she saw another one that caught her mind, it was a picture of two animals fighting, they were a white tiger and a black dragon, the tiger was male and made from wood while the dragon was female and made from metal, "Okay, I'm not going to ask what that is." Princess Luna said, and she continues going through the dream realm, she soon sees the food art, her mouth watered at seeing the chocolate used to make art, Princess Luna smiled and continued working, but the rabbit pounding the elixir of life in the moon distracted her, she got annoyed and flew to the moon, "Excuse me." Princess Luna said, the rabbit looked at her, "Can you please stop? You're distracting me." Princess Luna said, "I cannot, it is my job." the rabbit replied in a female voice, "Well, I'm trying to do my job, too, and your pounding is distracting me from it." Princess Luna said, "Then why don't you wear some earplugs?" the rabbit asked, Princess Luna thought about it and made earplugs appear in her ears, the rabbit pounds the elixir of life and Princess Luna did not hear it, she smiled and went back to her duties and continued the night with no problems. The next day comes and the humans came to Equestria, they were already in awe at the country, they liked the Crystal Empire the best, "Look at all of those crystals." a male human said, "Yes, a sight to behold." a female human replied, and they continue admiring the Crystal Empire. A few confectionery chefs went to Sugarcube Corner since Pinkie Pie requested them, "Whoa, Pinkie Pie, this is too many people." Carrot Cake said, "Relax, I'm just here to show them what I can make." Pinkie Pie replied, "Okay, but don't use up too many ingredients." Cup Cake said, and they leave Pinkie Pie to her shenanigans. Pinkie Pie bakes pies and was very fast, surprising the humans, "It's finished!" Pinkie Pie said loudly, they see Pinkie Pie's pies, they were all shocked, "My, it is all cooked perfectly." a male human said, "Enjoy." Pinkie Pie said with her eyes closed and a smile on her face, but the humans did not, "Look, a delicious snack, yet artistically beautiful at the same time." a male human said, "Not eating will deprive us of a delicious taste, but eating it will ruin the artwork." a female human said, "We are facing a dilemma on what to do." a second male human said, "It'll make me happy if you eat it." Pinkie Pie replied, "But it'll ruin the art on the top." the first male human said, "It's okay, I've got plenty more." Pinkie Pie replied, and they see them, they also see the pies that had the same filling also had the same design on top. The humans eat the pie and chewed slowly and carefully, "This flavor, this texture, it is fantastic." a third male human said, and they eat the pie, "Please, we must try the other types." a second female human said, Pinkie Pie hands them out while smiling. Rarity called for the female humans to stand in front of her so she can see what they fashions look like, "Okay, darlings, let me see what you wear for fashion." Rarity said, and they do. Rarity sees the outfits she saw the first time she was in Vinci, she saw the kalasiris, the chiton, the sari, the choli, the hanfu, the cheongsam, the escaramuza, the pollera, every type of hijab, the áo dài, the panung, the sinh, the kimono, the kasa, the kanga, the black tie and white tie attire gowns, the corsage, the dress shoes, the high heels, and the various sandals. Rarity was about to examine them until she saw more female coming, she made several exclaims of excitement, "My, what is this?" Rarity asked, she looks at one of the females who came over, she wore an outfit she has never seen, the woman spoke in Japanese and Rarity did not understand, "Can I have a translator, please?" Rarity asked, "She's wearing a twelve layered outfit, it is called a jūnihitoe." a female human in a white gown with corsages on her wrists replied, "Twelve layers? Darling, that sounds very hot to be in." Rarity said, and she looks at more of the women, she saw some of them had their faces painted white, their lips painted red, and their eyebrows shaved off and repainted back on to their foreheads with black ink, "What the?" Rarity asked, she saw one woman in a kimono had black teeth, "Why are her teeth black?" Rarity asked, "It's a status symbol, it means she's married." a female human in a black gown replied, "My, how strange." Rarity said, she continues looking and sees a woman with tattoos on her chin, "What is that supposed to be?" Rarity asked, the woman with the tattooed chin speaks the Maori language, "She said the tattoo is a physical manifestation of her true self on the inside." a female human in a blue gown said, "Okay, I'm not going to argue with that there." Rarity said, and she continues looking, she becomes surprised when she saw a woman in a sari with tattoos on her hands. Rarity keeps looking and she screams in shock when she saw several women had lip plates, neck rings, elongated ears, Ethiopian women with scars on their bodies, and several women with hair and skin covered in red clay. Rarity was baffled by how many different beauty standards the humans had, some she liked more than others, "I understand you all have your own sets of beauty, but all of these lip plates and elongated ears are making me uncomfortable, so do those women with the scars there." Rarity said, "What do you like, then?" a woman wearing a red escaramuza asked, she had a heavy accent, "Well, I do like that dress you're wearing, I think the kimonos and saris are beautiful as well, and I really like those dresses there." Rarity replied as she pointed her front left hoof to the cheongsam and hanfu, "So, do you dislike our beauty standards?" a woman in a green gown asked, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, I respect you all have your own ideas, but some of them are harder to look at than others." Rarity replied, "What are your beauty standards?" a woman in a pink gown asked, "Well, firstly, I think you all saw Princess Celestia, she meets every beauty standard of our culture, I believe you all already saw her, she's that tall white pony with the flowing mane." Rarity replied, some women needed what Rarity said translated into their native language, some of the women become confused and one Ethiopian woman asks Rarity a question in her native language, "I'm sorry, but I don't understand your language." Rarity said, "She asked if you girls do any scarring for looking beautiful." the woman in the white gown replied, "Oh! Celestia, no! We do not do such things, we like our skin smooth and soft, I would have to wear clothes if I was covered in scars." Rarity said, she sighed afterwards, "One reason I called you all here is so I can take photos of your diverse views on beauty, and if possible, teach me how to make your outfits, I think our fashion industry would love to try them out." Rarity said, the women who understood translated for the others, they agree and Rarity begins taking pictures to use as a guide since she was going to try to make the outfits. Rainbow Dash was doing a Wonderbolt show for the humans, the humans used aerokinesis and telekinesis to fly, they enjoy the show and admired the colors of the trails the Wonderbolts left behind, "Now, that, is a show." Rainbow Dash said, the humans cheered, "Do you guys do any shows?" Vapor Trail asked, "Yes, but not aerial ones." a male human replied, "What do you guys do?" Sky Stinger asked, the humans point towards the Crystal Empire and they saw humans acting out Shakespearean plays, they also saw humans doing Kabuki plays as well, the Wonderbolts were very confused, "Okay, I'm not going to ask what those are about." Soarin said, "Well, we have many different ways of telling plays, that's only a few." a female human replied, they look and see Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and Flurry Heart were greatly enjoying a Kabuki play, "Well, you guys want to continue watching our show?" Spitfire asked, the humans nod while smiling, and the Wonderbolts continue their show while the humans watch with awe. Fluttershy took the humans to her cottage and they see her many animals, several of the people there begin worshiping Harry, which confused him, "Um, what are they doing?" Fluttershy asked, "It is the belief of those Ainu people, the bear is the top god." a male human replied, "Oh, I didn't know that." Fluttershy said, "Yeah, in a lot of our cultures and beliefs, the animals of our world are gods." a male child replied, "Oh, really? Wow, I never knew that." Fluttershy replied, "Also, be careful with your goats, buffaloes, cattle, and chickens, some of our cultures sacrifice them to gods to please them." a female human replied, Fluttershy becomes shocked, "You mean... as in... you all kill them?!" Fluttershy asked, the humans nod, much to Fluttershy's horror, "Well, we also do have the Zodiac, where we worship twelve animals." a second female human said, "Really? That's wonderful, what are they?" Fluttershy asked, "Rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig." the second female human replied, "What do they represent?" Fluttershy asked, "Well, it's complicated, each one is specific, you've got the five elements to it, the lucky colors, the lucky numbers, lucky flowers, the Yin Yang stuff, what it's earthly branch is, and when that animal's lunar month is." the second female human replied, "You all have elements, too?" Fluttershy asked, "Do you?" the male child asked, "Yes, we have six elements, mine is kindness, the others are loyalty, honesty, generosity, laughter, and magic, we had six more elements before that, they were strength, healing, hope, beauty, bravery, and sorcery." Fluttershy replied, confusing the humans, "Um, is something the matter?" Fluttershy asked, "Yeah, those are not elements to us." the first female human replied, "They're not?" Fluttershy asked, "No, those are what we call characteristics, while kindness and generosity are virtues, but we call generosity charity." the male child replied, "What are your elements?" Fluttershy asked, "We have four basic elements, fire, water, earth, and air, and sometimes, there's a fifth element, the fifth element for us is usually lightning, but it's changed around, sometimes, the five elements is fire, water, earth, wood, and metal, but in other times, when fire, water, earth, and air are the elements, the fifth element is different, sometimes, it's heaven, sometimes, it's void, and the two most powerful elements in our beliefs are light and dark." the first female human replied, "Wow, I wish to learn more, tell me more about your animals and elements." Fluttershy said, and the humans begin to talk about the symbolism of animals and elements in their cultures. Applejack had the humans at Sweet Apple Acres and they were looking around, "Wow, it's like a whole field of Eden." a female human said, "Say what?" Applejack asked, "There is a story in our beliefs about the first of our kind, Adam and Eve, and they were living in the Garden of Eden, where they were forbidden to eat these apples that contained all the knowledge of good and evil, a serpent tempted Eve to eat the apples, and she shared them with Adam, and the two got exiled from the garden, and lost their ability to live forever." a male human replied, Applejack just looked on, "Ah'm confused." Applejack said, "Basically, God told them not do this thing, but they did, and got banished from the garden." a second male human replied, "But wasn't it that serpent's fault?" Applejack asked, "That's another thing, Adam did nothing to stop Eve from being tempted." the first male human replied, "Huh. Ah'm still mighty confused." Applejack said, "Do we gain knowledge from eating the apples like from the story?" a female human child asked, "Sorry, sugar cube, but no, these are just regular apples." Applejack replied, "Were the apples in the story zap apples?" Granny Smith asked, "No, red apples like the ones here." a male human child replied, "Can Ah hear the story?" Apple Bloom asked, the humans agree and begin talking about Adam and Eve. Twilight Sparkle brought the humans to her castle and they were in the library, "What is that you all got there?" Twilight Sparkle asked, and she saw the humans had the Bible, the Quran, and the Tanakh with them, "They are sacred books of our religions, there are many, but these are the main ones." a male human child replied, "What are they about?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Well, mostly on how we should live and what we should practice." the male human child replied, "Wow, those actually look very long." Starlight Glimmer said, "They are." a male adult human replied, "We've got a lot of books here, we think you all will like them." Spike said, and the humans look around. The humans look at the books Twilight Sparkle had and realized some of her stories were similar to the ones from their own story, "What did you do with the books you took from us?" the male human child asked, "They're over there, I'm still reading them, and I'm also choosing stories I think my friends would like." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Which ones are you planning to read to your friends?" the female human child asked, "Well, I did like The Ugly Duckling, I think Fluttershy is going to like that story, but other than that, I'm still going through and reading." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the humans continue going through the books Twilight Sparkle offered them to read, she saw a male adult human with a book in his right hand, "What is that you got there?" Twilight Sparkle asked as she walked forward to get a better look at the book, they all look and see the book, the humans become scared, "The Necronomicon Ex-Mortis." a second male adult human said, "Excuse me?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It is a book that is used to summon demons, we have several books like them." a female adult human replied, "Summon demons? This doesn't sound safe." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, Volvox was the one who had this, I am merely burrowing it." the human with the book replied, "Can I take a look at the inside of it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, and the man let her. Twilight Sparkle uses her magic to hold the book up and go through the pages, "What the? What is this?" Twilight Sparkle asked as she went through the pages and saw the words and pictures, she was very disturbed by the pictures, "They are written in an ancient language, only a few understand it." the man who had the book said, "That's not it, it's these drawings, I'd be scared if these creatures were real." Twilight Sparkle replied, "They are real." the man with the book said, Twilight Sparkle becomes disturbed and gives it back to him, "There is one series we didn't let you read, The King in Yellow, those who read it feel despair and go insane." the male human child said, "How come?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It is believed it has some kind of power on those who, everyone who has read it went insane." a second female adult human replied, "Well, I'll check it out another time, now go on and enjoy my books." Twilight Sparkle said, and the humans read. Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle showed the human kids what they liked and they were all met with different reactions, "What do you all think?" Scootaloo asked as she showed them her scooter, "It could use more designs on it." a female human child replied, "I'm fine with the way it is." Scootaloo said, "I think your bow could use some more designs in it." a male human child said, "Ah done that once, and it was too heavy for me to wear." Apple Bloom replied, "Here's what I do." Sweetie Belle said, and she makes potions, the children with impressed, "So you know alchemy, too." a second female human child said, "You guys have alchemy?"

Sweetie Belle asked, "He won't share it with us." a third male human child replied, "That does sound pretty cool, though, being able to live forever." Scootaloo said, "Ya mean like Princess Celestia and Princess Luna?" Apple Bloom asked, "Sure." Scootaloo replied, "We also do singing, there's a lot of singing in Ponyville." Sweetie Belle said, "Let's hear it." a third female human child replied, the other human children agree and the Cutie Mark Crusaders begin singing a song. The Crystal Empire watches the humans do the plays from their home, the crystal ponies watch Japanese, Italian, and Greek plays as the actors acted, Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and Flurry Heart were watching a Kabuki play and really enjoying it, Flurry Heart wanted to use the swords they used in the play and wanted to try it, "Hey, careful, these swords are real." a male human said with a Japanese accent, Flurry Heart became surprised and stopped wanting it, "Oh, cheer up, young one, we got wooden ones you can practice with." the male human said, Flurry Heart became excited and he gives her two of them. Flurry Heart tries to hold the wooden swords and they were heavy for her, she tries to swing them around and dropped them a lot, she tried again and kept dropping them, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence chuckle and help her hold them, Flurry Heart swings them around has fun, she made exciting burbling noises and swung the wooden swords around.

Princess Celestia said, the humans look at them, "What are you all doing?" Princess Celestia asked, "Appealing to the beauty standards of our cultures." a male human replied, "Which is?" Princess Luna asked, "Each one's different, but most have similar beliefs on fitness, men must be skinny and muscular, and women must be slender with smooth skin." a female human replied, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were interested, "So, how are some cultures in beauty standards different?" Princess Celestia asked, "Some of our cultures think women are beautiful when they are fat." a second male human replied, "There's one over there." a second female human said as she pointed with her right index finger, they see a woman being fed to be overweight, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were very uncomfortable, "That doesn't look healthy." Princess Celestia said, "It's her culture, they see fat women as beautiful." the first female human replied, "But still, it's not worth it if it damages your health." Princess Celestia said, "Indeed, health always comes before beauty." Princess Luna said, "Do you males wear makeup as well?" a third male human asked, "Um, no, the stallions in our land don't wear makeup, only the mares do." Princess Celestia replied, "Well, they should, men have to look beautiful, too." a handsome man with long hair said, the two looked at him and saw he had a name tag on his suit, he was Narcissus, "The makeup we wear have health benefits as well." a woman covered in red clay said, "For example?" Princess Celestia asked, "This red clay I wear prevents me from getting sunburned." the woman covered in red clay replied, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna become a little surprised, "The makeup we wear in our culture also kills bacteria and harmful germs, they can help heal the skin as well." the first male human said, "Oh, well, in that case, I'd like to learn a bit." Princess Celestia replied, and she and Princess Luna look at their makeup and also watch the men and women exercise to stay in shape. Night time comes and Princess Luna saw something in the sky around Vinci that caught her attention, "What is this?" Princess Luna asked, and she saw twelve constellations around Vinci in a circle, she saw Volvox standing on El Castillo, "Excuse me." Princess Luna said as she flew to him, he looks at her, "What are those in the sky?" Princess Luna asked, "The Horoscope, they are represented by the certain days and months of the year, it starts at the twelve o'clock position over there." Volvox replied as he looked back, Princess Luna looks at the constellation Volvox looked at, "We start at that one and go clockwise, that one there at the twelve o'clock position is Aries, next one is Taurus, the one after that is Gemini, after that one is Cancer, the next one is Leo, that one there is Virgo, the one there at the six o'clock position is Libra, the one after that one is Scorpio, the next one is Sagittarius, the next one is Capricorn, the next one over is Aquarius, and the last one is Pisces, each constellation has a symbol, an element of either fire, water, earth, or air, a planet to represent it, a house, a keyword, and a symbol." Volvox replied, "Please, send me a letter another time, I'd like to know about these one day, I must attend to my duties now." Princess Luna said, and she flew back to Canterlot and entered the dream realm. Princess Luna watches the dreams of others and saw the ponies dreaming about the humans and their forms of entertainment, she was enjoying all of it, the humans were all having good dreams until they all suddenly disappeared, "Wha...? What is going on?" Princess Luna asked, she hears gasps of awe in the real world and flies out of the dream realm. Princess Luna looks and saw everycreature was awake, "Wow, look at the sky." a filly said, Princess Luna looks and she saw Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis in the sky, they were moving around the twelve constellations, everycreature was in awe, "Wow, it is so beautiful." Twilight Sparkle said, "I must agree, what beauty." Rarity replied, they all look and saw the sky around Vinci was full of stars, and a rabbit was in the moon. White flashes appear to Volvox's right and he looks, he saw foals and ponies taking pictures of the night sky over his country, they finish and Volvox continued watching his country. A shooting star passes through the sky and everybody in Vinci saw it, "A shooting star, someone has died." Tom said, the world's natives disagree and several go to them, "A shooting star means to make a wish." Rarity said, "Yes, we're familiar with the whole make a wish thing, but it doesn't always work." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Ooh, ooh, I know, maybe you can wish for that person back." Pinkie Pie said, "Afraid it doesn't work that way." Dommiel replied, "I know, I wish for everlasting friendship with this country." Sweetie Belle said, "Unlikely, once when my superiors up there in the sky get everything settled out, we're returning to our world." Volvox replied, "Well, can you at least share some of your things?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "We already do." Volvox replied, they all saw their points, "Well, you all should go back and get some rest." Volvox said, they agreed and they all went back home and slept. The next day comes and the humans travel to the other lands, Volvox watched the other creatures and decided which humans would be best to go to several places, he sent the knights, samurais, and shaolin monks to the Dragon Lands, construction people and architects to Griffonstone, athletes to Yakyakistan, regular citizens to the changeling kingdom, magic users to Mount Aris and Seaquestria, and entertainers to Kirin Grove. The knights and samurais show off their weapons and fighting skills, which the dragons like, but they were very curious about the shaolin monks, they see the shaolin monks practice fighting and had five banners with them, the far left banner was red with a tiger on it, the far right banner was blue with a crane on it, the center-left banner was yellow with a leopard on it, the center-right banner was green with a snake on it, and the center banner was black with a dragon on it, "So, what are these?" Princess Ember asked, a monk explains in Chinese, the dragons did not understand him, "He said that they are their fighting styles, the tiger is aggressive and only attacks, the leopard's strength comes from its speed, the crane is flexible and graceful, and attacks with precision, the snake slides and attacks vital points of the body, and the dragon is energy inside the body and out, its attacks are both, soft and hard." a knight replied, "Demonstrate, I would like to see this." Dragon Lord Torch said, and they all begin. The shaolin monks do their martial arts and the dragons won against the crane fighting style with some ease, some won and lost against the dragon fighting style, some won and lost against the snake fighting style, and they were overwhelmed by tiger and leopard fighting styles, the dragons had fun and they all continue fighting while the shaolin monks remained calm, the samurais and knights joined the fighting as well. The humans in Griffonstone begin reconstructing the country for the griffons, "Hey, hurry up, we don't have all day!" Grampa Gruff said, "Art takes time, while the heart is fast to change desire, making the first desire complete takes time." a male human replied, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, just keep working." Gilda said, the humans grumble and work, they use their earth magic to build the place, and wind magic to fly around, they also used telekinesis to rebuild Griffonstone, the griffons were impatient and demanded they hurry up, "The griffons at home were friendlier than these." a female human said, the others agreed. Gabby flies up to them and gives them scones, "Here you all go." Gabby said, they take them, "Thank you, at least there's one griffon here who's friendly." a male human said, the others agreed. Several humans go through Griffonstone and see a lot of their things were destroyed, which saddened them since they were hoping to learn about Griffonstone's culture. The humans in Yakyakistan show them their sports, the yaks loved watching, "Prince Rutherford like sumo wrestling!" Prince Rutherford said, the other yaks stomp happily, they also liked boxing, running, and soccer, which some of the humans called football, "Yak wanna play." a male yak child said, "Sure, here are the rules." a male human said, and they talk about the rules, the yaks try playing with the humans and have fun, "This reminds me of a sport my culture does." a female human said with a Spanish accent, "What sport?" Prince Rutherford asked, "Running of the Bulls." a female human replied, "What is this Running of Bulls?" a female yak asked, the female human uses her psychic powers to show the yaks what it was, it excited them, "Yak want do bull running!" Prince Rutherford said, "Okay, but we get a head start since you all chase us, and we're slower." a male human replied, they nod, they all get into position and the humans run first, and the yaks begin to chase them. The humans in the changeling kingdom just look around and were not finding things that interested them, "Are you guys enjoying this place?" King Thorax asked, "Not really." a male human replied, "Yeah, you guys are like regular bugs from where we come from." a female human said, "I heard you guys have changelings at home, too." Pharynx said, "Yes, but they're fairies, not deer like you guys." a second male human replied, "What are they like?" a female changeling asked, a human uses his psychic powers to show them a picture, they saw the changelings were ugly humanoid babies with gray skins, shocking the changelings, "Ugh, your world's changelings are ugly." a female changeling said, "They're evil, too." a female human replied, "How so?" King Thorax asked, "They steal our children." a third male human replied, shocking the changelings, "Chrysalis was an evil changeling." a female changeling child said, "Yes, but she would never stoop as low as to steal one's infant." King Thorax replied, "Well, we'll let you guys look around, and try to enjoy." Pharynx said, the humans then begin to explore the changeling kingdom, they see the throne, "What a strange looking throne." a fourth male human said, "It's anti-magic, your spells won't work on it." King Thorax replied, "I wonder." a second female human said, and she tries using telekinesis, it got deflected, "So, it resists psychic powers, too." a third female human said, "Let's try spiritual powers." the first male human replied, and the humans meditate, their spirits leave their bodies, causing the changelings to gasp, the humans go to the throne and saw they could, they tried using their powers and they worked, "Okay, spiritual power works." the first male human said, "What is this spiritual power?" King Thorax asked, "It is powers that come from your soul, as you can see, we can separate our souls from our bodies, you become souls permanently after you die." the first female human replied, the changelings were interested, "How do you achieve it?" Pharynx asked, "Meditation." the second male human replied, "Please, show us." King Thorax said, and they all meditate. The strongest magic using humans in Mount Aris and Seaquestria do shows for the hippogriffs and seaponies and they love it, they were in awe, "Tell us, how did you all learn magic?" Sky Beak asked, "Meditation and focus." a female human replied, "Focus on what?" Ocean Flow asked, "The four primary elements." a male human replied, "Which are?" Princess Skystar asked, "Fire, water, earth, and wind." a second male human replied, "You people already conquered three of the elements." a second female human said, "Which ones?" Terramar asked, "Water, wind, and earth, you all do not have power over fire, yet." the first male human replied, "I don't think fire should be messed with." Queen Novo said, "Your reasoning?" a third male human asked, "Well, first of all, our houses up here are made from trees, and fire won't work in the water." Queen Novo replied, "That, and our wings have feathers, fire will burn them." Princess Skystar said, "If you wish, we can show you all some advanced magic." the second male human replied, they all agreed, "Alright, here goes." a third female human said, and she uses advanced water magic, she began to use ice magic, the hippogriffs were in awe, "I wanna see the other advanced magic." Princess Skystar said, the hippogriffs and seaponies agree, the humans who used advanced fire magic controlled lava, magma, and volcanoes, the humans who used advanced water magic controlled snow and ice, the humans who used advanced earth magic controlled rocks, stones, plants, sand, and crystals, and the humans who used advanced air magic controlled the clouds and the weather, the hippogriffs and seaponies were surprised and in awe, "I think a show is in for a call." Queen Novo said, the humans, hippogriffs, and seaponies agree and begin setting things up to do a play. The entertainers of Vinci were in Kirin Grove and liked the place, they were quick to befriend Autumn Blaze, "It is a pleasure to meet you all, I hope you all enjoy it here." Rain Shine said, and the humans begin doing magic tricks, singing, and creating art with their magic, "Wow, can you guys teach me?" Autumn Blaze asked, "Well, I guess it's worth a try." a male human replied, and Autumn Blaze was excited. The humans try to teach Autumn Blaze how to cook and make food art, she did alright, they then teach her how to play musical instruments, she already knew how to play them all, the females try to teach her how to sing, she could already do it, the humans then try to teach her different styles of plays, Autumn Blaze could do some of them, "Okay, we found a starting point." a female human said, and they try to teach Autumn Blaze. Autumn Blaze and the other kirins join to try to learn, they growl and get angry whenever they messed up, Autumn Blaze changed into a nirik and set the props on fire, the humans use water magic but it does nothing, so they use advanced water magic to use ice, it also did nothing to the nirik fire, Autumn Blaze changed back and panted, "Sorry, I lost my temper there." Autumn Blaze said, "Perhaps meditating could help you as well." a second male human replied, "Meditating? What's meditating?" Autumn Blaze asked, "We'll just demonstrate." a third male human replied, and they do. The kirins try and felt nothing, "Excuse me." Rain Shine said, the humans open their eyes', "What is this supposed to do?" Rain Shine asked, "Clear your mind and help you focus, it also keeps your bad memories and emotions from affecting you." the first male human replied, "Okay, I don't understand, but I'm willing to try." Rain Shine said, and they do, "Ugh, this is boring." Autumn Blaze said after a while, "That is not the point, the point is to give yourself better mental health." a second female human said calmly, "But still, it is boring." Autumn Blaze replied, the other kirins agree, "Do you all wish to do what we were doing earlier?" the first male human asked, the kirins nod, "Very well, let's continue, then." the first male human said, and they continue teaching the kirins their forms of entertainment. The humans return to Vinci and report to Volvox about their findings and he and Dommiel, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, and Tom read them, "Hmm, interesting, some of the natives of this world have similar forms of art and entertainment to our own." Tom said, "Perhaps we can establish positive relationships through similar tastes in art and entertainment." Volvox said, Princess Celestia overheard him and smiled, "Emperor Volvox!" a male human said as he and other humans ran to him, it was so loud, the other creatures looked at them, "We have found something strange, it looks dangerous." the male human said, "Where?" Volvox asked, "Within the astral plane." a female human replied, the other creatures look on with confusion. Volvox closes the eyes of his right head and center head, his left head did not have eyes, he reopens them and his four eyes and eye holes on his left head had light blue and white light come out of them, the world's natives gasp with awe. Volvox's vision was dark blue with white stars, he looks through the astral plane, "Where is it?" Volvox asked, the humans meditate to enter the astral plane, "To the west of where you're looking." the male human replied, Volvox looks to his left and becomes a little startled when he sees what was ahead, "That's it, that blob thing there." the male human said, Volvox saw it was Azathoth, he looks and also sees Cxaxukluh, Daoloth, Ghroth, Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, Tulzscha, Yibb-Tstll, and Yog-Sothoth were there as well, he was careful not to look at Daoloth, as looking at him causes people to go insane, he watches them and saw they were just moving around and not causing trouble. Volvox finishes looking into the astral plane and the glows and lights on his eyes and eye holes of his left head disappear, "It is the outer gods, avoid contact with them, and do not look at Daoloth." Volvox said, the humans nod, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, Volvox looks down and sees her and her five friends, "What is the astral plane?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It is an area that is not accessible physically, it is full of mysteries and we don't know how big it is, we are still exploring it." Volvox replied, "I wanna enter the astral plane." Pinkie Pie said while hopping up and down, "You can't enter physically, you can only enter the astral plane spiritually, only souls can enter, so dead people can go, and living people can enter by separating their souls from their bodies through meditation." Dommiel replied, "Can magic permit entry to the astral plane?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Do you have magic that involves controlling souls?" Dommiel asked, Twilight Sparkle and Rarity were speechless, "I... don't think we do." Rarity replied, "Then you can't enter." Dommiel said, "Wait, if we can create a spell that allows us, then we can go." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Alright, but be careful if you do enter the astral plane." Tom said, "How come?" Applejack asked, "The astral plane is full of many unknowns, some discoveries have led to bad consequences." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "What kind of consequences?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Usually, insanity, sometimes, death, and in worst case scenarios, death, and possession of your body." the Count of Saint Germain replied, shocking the world's natives, Fluttershy whimpered with fear, "I think this is worth exploring, give us time, I think we can create a spell to enter." Twilight Sparkle said, "Okay, but be careful." Volvox replied, "What about you? Didn't you just enter with magic?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I didn't enter the astral plane, I just looked into it through a little meditation, the more you meditate and focus, you more likely you are to enter the astral plane." Volvox replied, "Okay, let's go, I'll start working on creating a new spell tomorrow." Twilight Sparkle said, and they leave while it became dark and everybody went to sleep. Princess Luna looks into the dream realm and does not see the astral plane, she was curious as well, she does her duties for the night and finishes when the sun began to rise. Morning comes and the ponies meditate with Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, and Star Swirl the Bearded were in the center, "Okay, everypony, meditate, let's see if we can reach the astral plane." Twilight Sparkle said, and they do while the ponies in the center cast a spell to see if they can separate their souls from their bodies to reach it, they try and have trouble, the unicorns grunt with effort as they try and sweat, but could not separate their souls from their bodies, "I don't understand, how were they able to do it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Well, Twily, they did say it's spiritual, not magical, so maybe internal willpower allowed them to do it." Shining Armor replied, "I wanna explore the astral plane!" Twilight Sparkle said in an annoyed tone, "Give it time, Twilight, let's rest a bit and try again." Princess Celestia replied, and they rest while Twilight Sparkle was impatient, "Is everypony ready?" Star Swirl the Bearded asked, the ponies nod, "Alright, everypony, here we go." Starlight Glimmer said, and they try again, they try and could not reach the astral plane, "I found it!" Pinkie Pie said loudly, startling and distracting everypony, they look at her, "I entered the astral plane!" Pinkie Pie said excitedly, "Of course you would find a way, Pinkie." Twilight Sparkle replied in a deadpan tone, "I'm going to go ask them how they do it." Princess Cadence said, and she flies to Vinci. Volvox was watching his citizens and watched the construction people building the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, the Capitol, the White House, the Supreme Court Building, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln Memorial, the humans were singing Funiculi Funicula while they worked, they were soon finished and they all smiled, "Excuse me." Princess Cadence said as she flew to them, the natives look at her, "How do you all enter the astral plane?" Princess Cadence asked, "We separate our souls from our bodies through meditation." Dommiel replied, "Yes, we got that, but what is the process?" Princess Cadence asked, "There isn't one, just keep meditating and be very patient, and have a strong willpower so the deities don't possess your body." Tom replied, Princess Cadence was a little speechless, "How long does the meditation process take?" Princess Cadence asked, "Years, sometimes two or three decades before you enter the astral plane for the first time, and you must meditate about one or two hours a day." Volvox replied, shocking Princess Cadence, "Are there any faster ways?" Princess Cadence asked, "Well, if you wish, I can send some of my shamans to your country, and have them summon the spirits." Volvox replied, "No, it's fine, we'll just try to go our own way." Princess Cadence said, "Alright, be careful." Volvox said, and Princess Cadence leaves. Princess Cadence flies back and shakes her head, "I see, maybe I can enter, let me try something." Princess Luna said, and she goes into the dream realm. Princess Luna enters the dream realm and looks for the astral plane, she uses her magic to detect the area around her, she was finding nothing, much to her surprise, she tries harder and was not detecting any deities around her, she keeps trying and found nothing, Princess Luna's face twitched with irritation before she left the dream realm. Princess Luna comes back to Equestria, "I'm sorry, but I can't find anything." Princess Luna said, "Ugh! This was supposed to be just a simple meditation!" Twilight Sparkle said, "Has anyone here ever heard of the astral plane?" Rainbow Dash asked, "While I have seen into the astral plane, it is very difficult to explain." Zecora replied, "How did you do it, Zecora?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "A certain potion, I can make, and a clean mental state." Zecora replied, "What's the potion?" Fluttershy asked, "For my ingredients are currently low, making it must be postponed." Zecora replied, "Well, I guess we should just continue our way." Sunburst said, and they do. The ponies meditate while the unicorns and alicorns use their magic to try to create a spell, they all gasp in awe when they their visions turn dark blue with white stars for a brief second, they all stop with surprise and sweated, "Okay, I think we got something." Princess Celestia said, "*pant* *pant* Yeah, but let's rest, I think all of us are tired." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she sees everypony was tired as well, but they smiled, "Let's try again another time, Twilight, we have to get on with our days." Princess Celestia said, and they do. Twilight Sparkle asked for Volvox to allow some of the humans to attend the School of Friendship, but he saw the school did not teach art, so he politely declined, but he did have the humans continue teaching the world's natives their ways of creating art, which they enjoyed, "Hey, I'm ready for that picture." Sunset Shimmer said from below Volvox, "I haven't forgotten, go on and try to get a good view." Volvox replied, and Sunset Shimmer tried. Sunset Shimmer wanted to get a picture of everything in the country since she thought it was beautiful, she did and took the picture, it came out developed and she liked it. The Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Sunburst, and Autumn Blaze went to Volvox, "Can we explore the buildings?" Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle asked, "Of course, but be careful, some things are easy to break." Tom replied, the visitors were elated, "Come on, everycreature, let's explore everything together." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all were ready. Black clouds appear in the sky and everybody sees them, they all see a ship with the Storm King's symbol on it, Volvox and his people were ready to destroy it, it lands and opens and they see Grubber and Tempest Shadow walk out, "Is this the new area?" Tempest Shadow asked, "Oh, Tempest Shadow, you made it." Twilight Sparkle said, "This place looks richer than the Storm King's own private ship." Grubber said, "Come on, let's start exploring." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go. The group travels together and they enter El Castillo first since it was the closest, "*pant* *pant* All of these stairs are making me tired." Rarity said, "This is nothing." Tempest Shadow replied, and they all enter El Castillo. The group explores and it was mostly gray inside, it scared them a little, Fluttershy screams briefly when a face scares her, they look and see a red object in the shape of a jaguar, it had green jewels in it, "What's this?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Judging by its shape, it looks like a throne." Sunburst replied, "But who would sit on it?" Sandbar asked, "Ooh, I know, maybe the animal ruler of whatever this animal is." Silverstream replied, "Well, if that's the case, this looks like a jaguar." Fluttershy said, "I must say, those green jewels in it look lovely." Rarity said, "A jaguar monarch, I wonder if there's one for the other animals." Starlight Glimmer said, "Well, let's explore, but stay together, the last thing we need is someone getting lost." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they explore, but do not find any more thrones, but did not find any, but they did find a chacmool statue, "Yona like statue." Yona said, "But it is just a plain dull gray color." Rarity replied, "Ya still gotta admire the carvin', though." Applejack said, they agree, "Did any of you find anything else?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Nuh-uh." Smolder replied, "Nope." Sandbar said, "I think that is all we're going to find here." Tempest Shadow said, "Well, let's go to the next one." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they exit El Castillo. The group exits and they look to the north, "We've already been in that chapel over there." Twilight Sparkle said, "Not all of us." Tempest Shadow replied, "I want to see." Grubber said, "Let's go together, then." Twilight Sparkle said, and they do, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Sunburst, Tempest Shadow, and Grubber were in awe at the Sistine Chapel's ceiling, "Wow, I sure wish I could paint like this." Sunset Shimmer said, "I can, I've actually made an exact replica of these pictures a long time ago." Autumn Blaze replied, "Ooh, can you teach me?" Silverstream asked, "If I have the time." Autumn Blaze replied, "I've never seen your kind before, what are you?" Tempest Shadow asked, "A kirin, change into a nirik when I'm angry." Autumn Blaze replied, "I think I've seen enough, let's go elsewhere." Tempest Shadow said, the others agree and leave, they go to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda next. The group enters and they see the three gold statues inside, along with decorated pottery to the sides of it, they also see letters engraved on the pillars, "Look, letters on the pillars." Silverstream said, "Wow, who would've thought." Starlight Glimmer said, "How did they do it, though?" Scootaloo asked, "Good question, I'd like to know, too." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they keep looking and see pictures on the wall, they exit and were about to leave, "Wait, wait, look at this, everybody." Silverstream said, and they turn around and see dragon engravings on the walls, along with gold statues on the outside, "Wow, I've never seen art like this before." Autumn Blaze said, "That is so cool." Rainbow Dash said, "I guess these guys really worshiped dragons." Smolder said, "I would like that, too." Spike replied, "Come on, let's go to the others." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go. The group enters the Capitol Building next and see the statues, paintings on the wall, and engravings on the wall, "My, what design." Rarity said, "Yeah, but it's not as good as the last one." Rainbow Dash replied, "I must agree, there isn't much to see in here." Fluttershy said, "That painting up there on that ceiling's cool." Gallus said, and they look up and see a painting at the top of interior, they agree, "There's nothing here, let's go." Smolder said, and they did. The group enters the White House next and they look around, they see the China Room, Map Room, and Diplomatic Reception Room in front of them and like it, "Oh my, what fine silverware they have." Rarity said, "Look at the picture on the wall in that room over there." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they look into the Diplomatic Reception Room, "Wow, I've never seen such details in a picture." Fluttershy said, "I gotta admit, these guys are talented." Gallus said, "I wanna learn how to make them!" Silverstream said, "We don't know how, Silverstream, and it'll depend on if they're willing to share or not." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they walk around more, they see the Vermeil Room and admired it, they turn around and see the library, Twilight Sparkle became excited and flew in there, "Wow, they have a library." Twilight Sparkle said as she looked at the books, "Twilight, the tour." Rainbow Dash said, "Oh, right, sorry." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they all travel together, they see the Curator's Office and liked it, but they continued. The group goes up the stairs and arrive at the Entrance Hall, they were in awe at the design of the room, "Wow." Sandbar said, they all look around and soon go forward, they stop and see the Family Dining Room to their rights, they admired it and looked to their lefts, they see the East Room and go there, they were surprised by how big it was, "Party room!" Pinkie Pie said as she hopped around, "Pinkie, careful." Twilight Sparkle said, "This is perfect for a dance room." Sweetie Belle said, "Ah know, how bout we put some of Apple family dances in this room." Apple Bloom replied, "No way, with this much space, we should go wild." Scootaloo said, "Not now, we got a tour to finish." Tempest Shadow replied, and they keep going, they see the Cross Hall, they were in awe at its appearance, "Oh, my, I really do love this red on the floor here." Rarity said, "Look at the chandeliers." Sweetie Belle replied, and they do, they liked them, "Ah gotta admit, this is a nice hallway." Applejack said, "Yeah, maybe we can build one in Equestria like this one." Twilight Sparkle replied, they walk to the east and enter the State Dining Room, they liked the room and go to the Red Room, "I do like this shade of red here." Rarity said, "It is kind of cool." Rainbow Dash replied, they look around and see the items in the room, they go to the Blue Room next, "Oh, I love blue, it's one of my favorite colors." Autumn Blaze said, "That's kinda ironic comin' from you, Autumn Blaze." Applejack replied, "I kind of don't like this shade of color." Twilight Sparkle said, "Me neither." Sunburst said, "I do." Sweetie Belle replied, "Well, let's go to the next one." Sunset Shimmer said, and they enter the Green Room, "Ooh, Yona like this color." Yona said, "Me too, reminds me of the earth pony flag." Apple Bloom replied, "It's alright." Smolder said, "I'm not liking this color too much." Gallus said, "Really? I think it's nice." Sandbar replied, "Well, I think that's everything here, let's go up to the next floor." Twilight Sparkle said, and they find the Grand Staircase and go up to the second floor while admiring the pictures on the wall. The group arrives onto the next floor and walk forward, they see the Center Hall to their rights, and the East Sitting Hall to their lefts, they look at the East Sitting Hall since it was small, "That yellow is hurting my eyes." Ocellus said, "Yeah, mine too." Smolder replied, and they walk to it and look to their lefts and saw the Queens' Bedroom, they saw the Queens' Sitting Room as well, they look and admire them, they leave the East Sitting Hall and see the Lincoln Bedroom and Lincoln Sitting Room, they admired it and went to the Center Hall next, but stop and look at the Treaty Room, they liked the design overall and they continue to the Center Hall. The group go through the Center Hall and enjoy it, they walk into the West Sitting Hall next, they liked it, "I will admit, I do like this room's design a bit." Tempest Shadow said, "I do like the plants in here, I like the yellow color, too." Autumn Blaze replied, Applejack and Apple Bloom agreed, they see the bedrooms and Dressing Room, they looked plain, which disappointed them, they walk through them and enter the Yellow Oval Room, "Wow, this room is bright." Sunset Shimmer said, "Yeah, it's hurting my eyes a bit, though." Twilight Sparkle replied, the others agree and they go out to the Truman Balcony, they look forward and admire the view, "I wish this was a little higher." Sunburst said, "Me too, it would've made a good place to take a picture." Starlight Glimmer replied, the others agreed and they walk back, they decided they have seen enough and go back to the Center Hall, to the left and north and go up the stairs. The group goes up the stairs and were on the top floor, they arrive into the Center Hall on the third floor, "Ooh, I like this red." Scootaloo said, the others agreed it was nice and they continue, they see the offices and thought it looked plain compared to the other rooms, they see the Game Room, they only saw the pool table, "What's this?" Sweetie Belle asked, everybody was curious about the pool table as well, but they leave and go into the Center Hall again, they see the bedrooms and turn north and go to the Linen Room, they all saw it was a room that stored tablecloth and where the ironing was done, which disappointed them, they turn around and see the Cedar Room, but they did not like how it looked, they walk around more and go east, they see the Music Room, Pinkie Pie was exicted and hops there, Autumn Blaze also became excited and ran there, but they stopped with disappointment, "Where are the instruments?" Pinkie Pie asked, the others saw there was only a few instruments, they leave in disappointment and go to the north and see the Workout Room, "I think this is the last room." Twilight Sparkle said, "This place looks awesome." Rainbow Dash said, "Yeah, this would be a good spot to practice mah buckin'." Applejack replied, "I could use this room as well." Tempest Shadow said, and they all go back to the bottom floor and exit the White House while the humans become shocked when they realized they have forgotten to build the East Wing and the West Wing of the White House. The group goes to the United States Supreme Court Building next, they stop and look at the outside with surprise, they see the statues and carvings in the building, along with the carving at the bottom of the two flag poles, "Wow, even the flag poles are decorated." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, this must've took forever to make." Sunset Shimmer replied, and they all continue admiring the building and they all see the statues, they also see words carved at the top of the building, "Equal justice under law." Twilight Sparkle said, "Look at the carvings above it." Grubber said, and they all do, they were all surprised to see them, "Ah've never seen carvin's like that before." Apple Bloom said, "Me neither, I didn't think something like this was possible." Sunburst replied, they continue looking and look at the Contemplation of Justice statue and the Authority of Law statue, "Let's go in." Twilight Sparkle said, and they do. The group enters and they see the marble pillars, which made them gasp with awe, "Wow, they're big." Autumn Blaze said, they walk around and see one room had decorations on the ceiling, much to their surprises, they keep walking through and liked the building, they finish and exit. The group walks to the Washington Monument and admire it, they also look at the Lincoln Memorial and admire that as well, they left shortly afterwards. Twilight Sparkle uses telekinesis to make herself and the others float up and they look at the Great Wall, they were all surprised, "Wow, this is big." Starlight Glimmer said, "It's huge." Sunburst replied, "I can't believe how long this is, I can't imagine how long this took to make." Twilight Sparkle said, they finish looking at the Great Wall and go to the northwest. The group looks at the Pyramid of Giza and its small pyramids, "This looks fun to explore." Ocellus said, and they try, but the inside of the pyramids were tight and some of the creatures could not fit through the small spaces, so they decide to look at the Statue of Liberty and the Effiel Tower, they liked them both, "How long do ya think those two took to build, Twilight?" Applejack asked, "I don't know, but probably a really long time, with all of the putting together and the carving." Twilight Sparkle replied, they then go to the Big Ben clock tower. The group looks for an entrance but do not see one, "How do we enter?" Gallus asked, the others wondered as well, "Teleporation." a male human replied from behind, it surprised them and they turn around, "It's only a part of a building, but the Big Ben was the most famous part, so Emperor Volvox put it here while he discarded the rest." the male human said, the group looks at it with surprise and the Big Ben's clock tower's bell begins to ring, which scared some of the group, but they get themselves together and go to the Effiel Tower next, "Rods! We never had those underwater!" Silverstream said, they all look and Twilight Sparkle was uneasy, "What's the matter, Twi?" Applejack asked, "These rods and the way they're structured, they look almost exactly like bone structure." Twilight Sparkle replied, the group's awe dies down, "That is unnerving to know." Sunburst said, "You think structure built from real bones?" Yona asked, "I hope not." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they continue to look at it, Fluttershy was scared, "Fluttershy, darling, what is the matter?" Rarity asked, "It's... so... tall, it... scares... me." Fluttershy replied, "You could just fly up and fly back down." Smolder said, the others agreed, "I've seen enough, let's go." Gallus said, and they all go to the west of the country. The group arrives at the Parthenon and were disappointed, "This place looks destroyed." Sunset Shimmer said, "That's because it is destroyed." Volvox replied, "Not everythin's gone, see, look up at the roof." Apple Bloom said, and they see the carvings near the roof, "There's a statue inside, too." Applejack said, and they all see the Statue of Athena, "Well, let's go, I don't think there's much more here." Twilight Sparkle said, "Still, these pillars, they remind me of Cloudsdale." Rainbow Dash replied, "Yes, they look just like them." Fluttershy said, "Well, let's go." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go to the southwest of Vinci. The group goes to the Sedlec Ossuary first and enter, they stop and scream in terror when they see all of the bones inside the ossuary, they all stood there with their mouths and eyes' wide open, "Wh... What is this?!" Rarity asked, the others were still frozen in shock at what they saw, they all look on in shock and could not believe what was before them, they all step back outside in fear. The group sees Notre-Dame de Paris next, they did stop to look at the Terracotta Army briefly, "I can't imagine how long this took to make." Sunset Shimmer said, "Me neither, probably longer than how long most of us have been alive." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I would've liked an army like this." Tempest Shadow said, "Well, come on, let's go to that area over there." Twilight Sparkle said, and they do. The group looks at Notre-Dame de Paris, they hear the bells ringing and loved the sounds, they go to the entrance and see the carvings on the door, which they liked, they go through the inside and were in awe at all of the windows, they also admire the cross at the front, they continue to explore and go upstairs, they see the bells being rung by a hunchbacked man, they watch him ring the bells and were in awe at his acrobatic skills, "Um, excuse us." Fluttershy said, the man turned around and they were initially shocked by his deformed appearance, "Don't be alarmed, I am Quasimodo, I am the bellringer of Notre Dame." the man said, "What happened to you?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I was born this way." Quasimodo replied, "Where are your parents?" Rarity asked, "I never met them." Quasimodo replied, saddening the group, "Well, what are you doing here?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Ringing the bells, it's my job." Quasimodo replied, "I wanna try!" Pinkie Pie said, "Sure, follow my lead." Quasimodo replied, and the two ring the bells. Pinkie Pie and Quasimodo jump around and ring the bells, the group smiled since they thought the bells sounded beautiful, "I wanna try!" Silverstream said, and she flies up, "Me too." Autumn Blaze said as she ran to them, "We wanna try, too." Sweetie Belle said as she ran with Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, they all ring the bells together and have fun, they finish after a while and Quasimodo had fun with them, "Okay, everycreature, let's go to the next one." Twilight Sparkle said, and they leave while Quasimodo waves bye at them. The group goes to the south of Vinci and saw the Colosseum, "Looks a bit like Cloudsdale's architecture." Fluttershy said, "You're right, it does." Rainbow Dash replied, the group looks at it and were curious, "What was this place used for?" Sandbar asked, the others wondered as well and they entered, they see the inside was circular and full of seats, "Ooh, I know, maybe this was used for parties." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, it must've been a big one." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Or maybe a concert." Spike said, the others wondered as well, "Well, there's almost nothing here, let's go to the next area." Twilight Sparkle said, and they do. The group goes to the southeast and enter Angkor Wat next, "*gasp* Look at the walls!" Silverstream said excitedly, they all do and were in awe at the stone carvings in the walls, "Wow, I have never seen wall carvings like these before." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all continue, they all admire the wall carvings and statues inside Angkor Wat, they were extremely impressed with the details the builders put into them, "I have traveled to nearly every land in this world, but I have never seen a building like this one." Tempest Shadow said, "That's really a shame, I would've liked to see it." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I may come back here, all of these wall carvings are giving me new ideas for outfits." Rarity said, and they all continue walking around and Ocellus soon got startled, "What's the matter, Ocellus?" Fluttershy asked, "That face there scared me." Ocellus replied, they all look and see a big face carved into several parts of Angkor Wat, shocking the group, "Wow, even the best builders in Equestria would have trouble buildin' somethin' like that." Applejack said, "I wonder how they did it." Rainbow Dash said, "Well, let's go, I think that's all we'll see here." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they go. The group goes to Seitenkyū next and were already in shock and awe at the temple itself, "*gasp* WOW!!" Silverstream said excitedly, the group looks at the dragon carvings in the pillars outside, along with the dragons on the top of the roof, they also see gold carvings of people under the roof, and many decorations around the outside of Seitenkyū, and two stone carvings of lions on the outside, they all walk forward and see more carvings around the entrances, "Wow, whoever made this must've been very talented." Fluttershy said, they go through and saw there was no inside, "What the?" Sunburst asked, "There's no inside." Spike said, "Well, let's go to the next one, I think we're almost done." Twilight Sparkle said, and they leave. The group goes to Al-Khazneh next and look at the outside of the building, "Ooh, my family can make something like this." Pinkie Pie said, "Can we try, Applejack?" Apple Bloom asked, "Nope, Ah don't think so, we ain't rock carvers." Applejack replied, "Look at the detail." Sunset Shimmer said, and everybody saw the carvings and decorations carved into the pillars, the leaves under the roofs, and the angels in the walls, they finish and enter, but saw it was empty, "Aw, it's empty." Autumn Blaze said, "But still, admire the carvings, they actually made a building out of rock, I've never seen anything like this." Twilight Sparkle replied, "It is kind of cool." Rainbow Dash said, and they all leave and go to Prambanan next, "Yona like this place already." Yona said, "Wow, look at those rooftops." Starlight Glimmer said, "Ugh, dull color, I think it could use more colors." Rarity replied, they continue looking around and see many smaller temples, "Wow, how many temples are there?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Two hundred forty." a female human that was nearby replied, shocking the group, "Wow, that's a lot of temples." Applejack said, "Should we go inside?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "No, it would take too long, I'm sorry, everycreature, but we have to skip this one." Twilight Sparkle said, the younger members groan with disappointment and go to the east of Vinci. The group goes to the Taj Mahal and Twilight Sparkle stopped with awe, "You alright, Twilight?" Applejack asked, Twilight Sparkle continued to just stand there and look, "I can't believe it, so even, so symmetrical, this building is perfect." Twilight Sparkle said, she stood back and kept looking and admiring, "Come on, Twilight, not now." Spike said as he slapped her to snap her out of her daze, "Sorry, I just like how even it is, let's go." Twilight Sparkle said, and they do, they look at the Taj Mahal and admire the deocrations on it, "Ah gotta admit, Ah do wonder how they got it so perfectly even and symmetrical." Applejack said, "I think this place is perfect for me to take a picture of the natives here in their different clothes." Rarity said, "Why here for?" Ocellus asked, "Why? Because this building is perfectly symmetrical, I think it will make the perfect background." Rarity replied, and they enter and saw guards, "Halt, entry into this place is prohibitted." a male guard said, shocking the group, "Why?" Sandbar asked, "This area is sacred, nobody can enter." a second male guard replied, "Yona demand entry." Yona said, "Nope, we can't enter either, not even Emperor Volvox himself." the first male guard replied, "Oh, come on, please?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Pretty, pretty, please?" Fluttershy asked, "Sorry, but we can't, us and you guys will get arrested." the second male guard replied, "Then why do you have this place in your country?" Sandbar asked, "For the art on the outside." the first male guard replied, they all still wanted to enter, "It's no use, everycreature, we have to leave." Twilight Sparkle said, the younger members of the group groan with disappointment, "Come on, last area, let's go." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go. The group goes to the northeast of Vinci and the first thing they notice is the Leshan Giant Buddha, "This thing is almost as big as Dragon Lord Torch." Spike said, "Yeah, I can't believe they actually made something like this." Smolder said, Silverstream flew around and looked at the statue, "Look at the details." Silverstream said, they all look and see the Leshan Giant Buddha had fingernails, toenails, hair, a mouth, a nose, eyes, ears, eyebrows, and a dot on his forehead, "Wow, this is the biggest statue I've ever seen." Sunburst said, "Me too, I can't imagine how long this must've took to carve." Twilight Sparkle replied, they all finish and look at the Moai around the northeast of Vinci, "What are these?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Moai statues, they are from a place in our world called Easter Island, I only put a few of them in my country, there's a total of over nine hundred statues." Volvox replied, shocking the group, "What do they represent?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Don't know, the people who made them were already gone when we found them." Dommiel replied, the group was surprised by looked at the last thing in the country, the Burj Khalifa, "Whoa, this thing is huge." Sandbar said, "Yeah, this is the biggest building I've ever seen." Twilight Sparkle replied, Fluttershy quivered in fear from the size, Silverstream flew up to the top but quickly flew down while shivering, "It's cold at the top." Silverstream said, "I figured, the top is even higher than Cloudsdale." Rainbow Dash replied, "Even the Storm King's ships can't fly above this, we would've crashed right into it." Tempest Shadow said, Rainbow Dash flies around and looks through the rooms, "This one looks more... modern when compared to the others." Rainbow Dash said, "That's the newest addition to my country, it was built by machine rather than by hand." Volvox replied, "Still, wow." Autumn Blaze said, "Well, that's everything, let's head home." Twilight Sparkle said, and they do and Twilight Sparkle used her magic to send the pictures of the insides of the areas from within her memory to Princess Celestia. The next day comes and Vinci was having a normal day, "Emperor Volvox." Princess Celestia said as she flew to him, she flies up to his three heads and flaps her wings as she faces him, "I have received a report yesterday that one of your buildings uses bones as decorations." Princess Celestia said, "Ah, yes, the Sedlec Ossuary, it's over there." Volvox replied as he pointed the index claw of his front right foot to it and Princess Celestia looked at it, she looks back at him, "Why do you have such a thing?" Princess Celestia asked, "I thought it was unique, and my subjects liked it, so I put it here." Volvox replied, "The deceased should rest, Volvox." Princess Celestia said while raising her voice a little, "They do rest, we have a catacombs under the country." Volvox replied in a slightly annoyed tone, the world's natives look at him with shock, "Did he just say catacombs?" Princess Skystar asked, Princess Celestia glared at him, "Do you not have a cemetery?" Princess Celestia asked, "Everybody has their own ways of burying the dead." Volvox replied, Princess Celestia looks and sees preserving jars, cremated ashes in pots, some cremated ashes dumped into the water, decaying bodies at the high places of the country, hanging coffins, decorated sarcophaguses, corpses being mummified, highly decorated Egyptian tombs, and people posing and taking pictures with their dead relatives. Princess Celestia was surprised but she faced Volvox again, "I do not appreciate the deceased being used in a such a way, they should rest." Princess Celestia said, "We have holidays to honor the dead and our ancestors." Volvox said, "You still should not be posing with the deceased or mummifying them." Princess Celestia replied, "The fireflies at night will let us know if they do not appreciate it." Volvox said, "Fireflies?" Princess Celestia asked, "Yes, the fireflies that are here at night sometimes are actually souls of the dead, they are warriors who have died in battle." Volvox replied, Princess Celestia was surprised, "What are they doing out at night?" Princess Celestia asked, "Usually to return to their families." Volvox replied, "Well, I would like for you to put the deceased back, they endured enough hardships in life." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away while Volvox just watched his country. A few hours pass and Volvox just watched his people while he looked around, the clouds above come down and form into Hermes, "Good news, Volvox, we have found the remaining parts of your country, including your original temple." Hermes said, "Okay, just go ahead and make it appear south of the country." Volvox replied, and he goes back into the sky. A warping sound was heard to the south of Vinci and everybody watched, the area appears and the rest of Vinci appeared, everybody saw more things that astounded them, they saw the Temple of Artemis from Ephesus, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, a Statue of Zeus from Olympia, the Mausoleum from Halicarnassus, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, Biete Medhani Alem, Biete Mariam, Biete Maskal, Biete Denagel, Biete Golgotha Mikael, Biete Amanuel, Biete Qeddus Mercoreus, Biete Abba Libanos, Biete Gabriel-Rufael, Biete Lehem, Biete Ghiorgis, and the Padmanabhaswamy Temple. The group looks on with awe while Volvox got ready to rearrange his country, "Alright, stand aside, I have to rearrange the country." Volvox said, and he did, he put the Temple of Artemis to the west, beside the Parthenon to its right, he put the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to the northeast, to the left of the Burj Khalifa, he put the Statue of Zeus to the northeast, to the left of the Leshan Giant Buddha, he put the Mausoleum from Halicarnassus to the southeast, behind Prambanan, he put the Colossus of Rhodes to the northwest, to the right of the Statue of Liberty, he put the Lighthouse of Alexandria to the north, behind the Great Wall, he put Biete Medhani Alem, Biete Mariam, Biete Maskal, Biete Denagel, and Biete Golgotha Mikael to the north, also behind the Great Wall, he put Biete Amanuel, Biete Qeddus Mercoreus, Biete Abba Libanos, Biete Gabriel-Rufael, and Biete Lehem to the south, around the Colosseum, he put Biete Ghiorgis to the west, behind the Parthenon, and he put the Padmanabhaswamy Temple in the center, behind El Castillo. The native creatures of the land look at the new Vinci and were astounded, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were surprised by the eleven monolithic churches, "Oh my." Princess Celestia said with surprise, the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Tempest Shadow, and Autumn Blaze return and look at the new areas, "Are these churches... underground?!" Silverstream asked with surprise and excitement, "Yes." Tom replied, "Wow, how did you guys make these?" Sandbar asked, "Just a lot of rock carving and patience." Dommiel replied, "What about that building with the gold roof, what is that?" Tempest Shadow asked, "That's the Padmanabhaswamy Temple, it's my old home." Volvox replied, "Padman what now?" Applejack asked, "Never mind." Volvox said, "I must say, I do like that building with the plants there." Rarity said, "That's the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of our older structures." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "What is that statue over there?" Grubber asked, "It's a statue of Zeus, another old structure." Tom replied, "What is that thing there supposed to be?" Applejack asked as she pointed her front right hoof forward, "That's the Mausoleum from Halicarnassus, it was created as the resting place for a king's wife." Volvox replied, they look and see the carvings and sculptures around it, much to their astonishment, "What about that new statue?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "The Colossus of Rhodes, it was built to symbolize a victory over a battle with an army that was surrounding them." Dommiel replied, "How about that building there behind you guys? What is that?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "That's the Lighthouse of Alexandria, it was made to help guide ships at night, it was abandoned by the humans there when the earthquakes around there got too powerful." the Count of Saint Germain replied, surprising the group, "Even though these are back, my country is still not fully complete." Volvox said, surprising the group since Vinci was huge, "What's missing?" Sweetie Belle asked, "I still have one more structure and seventy two more statues that need to be returned." Volvox replied, surprising the group, "Seventy two statues?!" Rarity asked with shock, "Yes, before I moved to my current home, my temple had a ramp that led to the entrance with seventy two big statues, thirty six on each side." Volvox replied, surprising the group, "What is the last structure to your country?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The Tower of Babel." Volvox replied, "Can we explore these new areas?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "There's not much to explore, and my old home is off limits due to religious beliefs by the people here." Volvox replied, "Wait, are you just decidin' where to live?" Applejack asked, "Not exactly, I chose that place as my old home because I thought it was the most artistic and creative, but I can't stand on the roof and watch, that is why I switched to this one, the humans don't mind either, since they want my home to be the most creative looking one, so they decide as well." Volvox replied, "So... you guys hold a vote on where you should live." Sunburst said, Volvox nods with his three heads, the clouds come down and Hermes forms, "We just found the last remants of your country, Volvox, we're transferring it now." Hermes said, and he goes up into the sky. More parts of Vinci appear to the south of it and they saw a ramp, seventy two statues, and the Tower of Babel, shocking the world's natives, "You all should leave, I have to rearrange my country one last time." Volvox said, and they do. Volvox rearranges the country and puts the ramp in front of the Padmanabhaswamy Temple's entrance, thirty six statues to each side, and the Tower of Babel in the center, the Padmanabhaswamy Temple was now in the very center of Vinci, with the Tower of Babel to its right, and El Castillo to its left. The ponies meditate again and try to enter the astral plane, Zecora and Mage Meadowbrook try to make potions to make it easier, but they were distracted by rumbling from up north, they all look and see the humans and yaks in Yakyakistan doing the Running of the Bulls, they run and it causes an avalanche, the snow falls and covers the Crystal Empire, the ponies stop what they were doing and go to Yakyakistan. The ponies arrive there and see the humans and yaks having fun, Prince Rutherford and Yona were among them, "Excuse us." Princess Cadence said, the humans and yaks look at them, "What are you doing, Yona?" Sandbar asked, "People teaching us traditional custom called Running of the Bulls." Yona replied, "Running of the Bulls?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yaks having fun." Prince Rutherford replied, "I wanna try!" Pinkie Pie said, "Come on over, then." a male human said, and Pinkie Pie hopped over, "Okay, we just run and they chase us, plain and simple." a female human said, "Ready, set, go." a second male human said, and they and Pinkie Pie run while the yaks chase them, "This does look fun. Wait for me." Rainbow Dash said, and she joined, "Wait." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all look at her, "What is the point of this?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It is a part of nine day celebration from our home." a third male human replied, "Can you all please postpone it? You all caused an avalanche and buried my kingdom in snow." Princess Cadence said, they look and see it, "Oh, our deepest apologies, we'll start cleaning now, then." a second female human said, "Thank you." Princess Cadence replied while smiling, and the humans begin using their wind magic to fly and telekinesis to remove the snow while the ponies went back to Equestria. The ponies meditate more and try to reach the astral plane, only Pinkie Pie was able to reach it, "You all need help?" Tom asked, they look and see him, "As matter of fact, yes, we do." Mage Meadowbrook replied, "Okay, good, all of you are sitting down, sit with your upper body standing up, and your hind legs crossed." Tom said, and they do, "Alright, now, tuck your arms into your laps, and close your eyes'." Tom said, they do, "Good. Now, breathe in, and out, like this." Tom said, and inhales through his nose, and exhales through his mouth slowly, "I see the astral plane." Maud Pie said, "I do, too." Limestone Pie said, "Hmm-mm." Marble Pie said in agreement, "Oh my, so many stars." Igneous Rock Pie said, "Aye, more than the sky at night." Cloudy Quartz said, they all continue, "*gasp* I see it, I see the astral plane." Somnambula said, and they all continue, the ponies all soon saw the astral plane, they gasped in awe, "Look at all of the stars." Sweetie Belle said, "It's beautiful." Twilight Sparkle said, "My, it reminds me of the night sky when I was a filly." Mistmane said, "In all of my years of studying, I have never seen anything like this." Star Swirl the Bearded said, and they look, they enjoy the visions and look at the stars floating around the area, "You all see anything floating inside the astral plane?" Flash Magnus asked, "No." the ponies replied together, "I'm havin' a little trouble staying in, lads." Rockhoof said, "Yeah, me too." Rainbow Dash replied, "I'm not having any trouble." Fluttershy said, and they all continue to meditate until they got tired, "Okay, I think we can call it a day, everypony, let's try again another time." Princess Celestia said, and they all get on with their days. Rarity was back with the human women and they were teaching her how to make the outfits of their cultures, Rarity was having trouble, "*pant* *pant* These outfits are a lot harder to make than I thought." Rarity said, she was making many of the outfits by hoof rather than sewing it together, she used her telekinesis to pull the silk thread by thread, which took her a while, the women in there were helping her make them, they also taught her how to make the neck rings, which made her uncomfortable, she was also very uncomfortable looking at the lip plates, "Okay, I'm going to need to take a break for now." Rarity said, and she sits and rests while the women finish making the oufits Rarity was trying to make, "Are we still going to take a picture?" a female human asked, "Yes, darling, after Volvox finishes rearranging his country, we will." Rarity replied, and she rests while the women continue making their own outfits. Twilight Sparkle returned to Vinci and trotted to the center of the country with the books she checked out, which she held with her telekinesis, "Excuse me, I finished all of your books." Twilight Sparkle said, "I see, go ahead and set it aside, my citizens will return them." Volvox replied, he was now standing behind the Padmanabhaswamy Temple. Twilight Sparkle and Spike look at the seventy two statues that were to the sides of the ramp that led to the entrance of the Padmanabhaswamy Temple, each statue was different, and made from gray marble, they see bronze plaques at the bottom of the statues, "What are these?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "They are the people who used to serve me, they died from old age, the plaques are their names." Volvox replied, and she and Spike looked, they see the names of the statues on the left side were Bael, Vassago, Marbas, Amon, Paimon, Gusion, Beleth, Eligos, Botis, Sallos, Marax, Aim, Glasya-Labolas, Ronove, Astaroth, Foras, Gaap, Marchosias, Phenex, Malphas, Focalor, Sabnock, Vine, Vual, Crocell, Balam, Caim, Orobas, Ose, Orias, Zagan, Andras, Andrealphus, Amdusias, Decarabia, and Dantalion, while the names of the statues on the right were Agares, Samigina, Valefor, Barbatos, Buer, Sitri, Leraje, Zepar, Bathin, Purson, Ipos, Naberius, Buné, Berith, Forneus, Asmoday, Furfur, Stolas, Halphas, Raum, Vepar, Shax, Bifrons, Haagenti, Furcas, Alloces, Murmur, Gremory, Amy, Vapula, Valac, Flauros, Kimaris, Belial, Seere, and Andromalius, "Holy guacamole." Spike said, "Did you all carve these by hand, too?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Actually, I made them with my magic, it is to honor them for their service to me." Volvox replied, "Wow, I must admit, I do like this country, so much stuff to look at, it's so fun." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, go on and enjoy, my country is finally complete until my citizens come up with something new to build." Volvox replied, and Twilight Sparkle and Spike fly around to admire the things in the country. Flurry Heart managed to make the Pousse-café after many tries and made excited baby noises, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence clapped at seeing it, Flurry Heart then flew to the Vinci. Flurry Heart flies around excitedly and her wings hit some of the artworks as she looked around, she also used her magic to make her own art, breaking some of them in the process. The humans see what she was doing and restrain her from flying, she used her magic to teleport and make new art, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence teleport to her and try to restrain her. Volvox sees Flurry Heart causing destruction while she tries to make her own art, the yellow eyes on his center head glow and Flurry Heart's horn and wings disappear, shocking Shining Armor and Princess Cadence, Flurry Heart noticed her wings and horn were gone and she began to cry, "What are you doing?!" Princess Cadence asked, "She is destroying my country with her wings and her horn, so I removed them so she does not damage my country more than she already did." Volvox replied, "When are you..." Shining Armor asked, "I'll return them when she calms down, she's still welcome to explore, but make sure she doesn't break anymore things." Volvox replied, Flurry Heart looked down with shame, "Look at the destruction you caused as well." Volvox said, and Flurry Heart sees it, she has caused more destruction than she thought, "Go on and explore, you'll have your wings and horn back after you stop destroying my country." Volvox said, and Shining Armor and Princess Cadence walk together with Flurry Heart on Shining Armor's back. Pinkie Pie hops around and sees several humans doing a squat dance, "Ooh." Pinkie Pie said, and she hops to them, the humans dancing look at her, "What are you all doing?" Pinkie Pie asked, "The prisyadka." a male human replied, "Can I try?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Sure." a male child replied, and Pinkie Pie tried, she tries to squat while standing only on her hind hoofs, but she swings her arms around as she loses balance and screams as she falls, she tries again and falls again, she looks and sees the humans doing the dance also had their arms crossed, she crosses her front legs across her chest and squats down slowly, she gets it and then tries to kick her hind legs up, she stumbled as she tried, "This is harder than I thought." Pinkie Pie said, "Keep trying, it took us years to master it, too." a male second human replied, and Pinkie Pie keeps trying. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna fly around Vinci and look at the rock carved churches, impressed by the carvings, "What do you think, sister?" Princess Celestia asked, "I'll admit, they are impressive, especially since they seem to have been carved out of the ground." Princess Luna replied, "Yes, and they seem to have been carved by one piece of rock, I still wonder how they did it." Princess Celestia said, "Should we try making some of own in Equestria?" Princess Luna asked, "Well, we can, but it might take a while." Princess Celestia replied, "No, it shouldn't, we can use our magic to make these, imagine how many tourists it would attract." Princess Luna said, "Hmm, true, come on, sister, let's look around more and see the things Twilight reported to us." Princess Celestia said, and they fly around, careful not to break anything. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna look around and soon see the carvings in the walls of some of the buildings, "Wow, I think we can some of our own wall carvings as well." Princess Celestia said, "Indeed, I was thinking maybe we can make some statues as well." Princess Luna replied, and they continue flying around and enjoying the views. Shining Armor and Princess Cadence explore Vinci and look around while Flurry Heart sulked on Shining Armor's back, "Now, now, Flurry Heart, just stay calm and look around, and you'll have your horn and wings back." Shining Armor said, Flurry Heart let out an angry groan, "Look, Flurry Heart, look at the pretty flowers in front of us." Princess Cadence said, Flurry Heart did not, the two notice she was not happy, but they continue walking around and admiring the plants, flowers, paintings, and sculptures scattered all over the country, along with the art on the manholes, "Flurry Heart, look." Princess Cadence said, and she did reluctantly, she looked back down with sorrow, "Come on, Flurry Heart, let's give it a try." Shining Armor said, and they see painting supplies nearby, they try and Flurry Heart found making art on the manhole very enjoyable, she begins to have fun and starts painting the ground, the humans look and smile, but they went on with their days while Flurry Heart has fun. The other countries around the world were inspired by the artwork of Vinci and begin making their own, the ponies try to make sculptures, the dragons began carving architecture into their mountains and make new weapons and armor, the griffons begin building sculptures of famous griffons, the yaks try to build art from wood but have trouble thinking of what to build, the changelings decided to try carving art into the walls of their caves, the hippogriffs and seaponies try to grow plants and make some of their food art, and the kirins tried everything they had. The humans and Tom go over to help the creatures make the things and the dragons and griffons were a bit unwelcoming, but the dragons warmed up, "Do people have any large weapons back at home?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "Sorry, but no." a female human replied, and they all continue helping the world's natives make their art. Pinkie Pie trots around and was looking at the dances the humans were doing, she tried all of them, some were easier than others, she was able to do the prisyadka perfectly after a few tries, she decides to walk around a bit and try more dances, there was one that caught her eye in particular, she trotted to go try it, "Excuse me, what is this dance called?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Capoeira." a male human replied, "Can I learn?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Well, you're not bipedal like us, so we're not sure if you can even do it." a second male human replied, "I wanna try!" Pinkie Pie said while jumping up and down, "Okay, let's see what you can do." the first male human replied, and the humans show her some of the dance moves, Pinkie Pie tries it and had a lot of trouble, the humans tutor her and try to teach her how to do the dance. Rainbow Dash flies around and looks at Vinci, but she sees something that caught her mind in the south of the country, "Hey! You guys might wanna come see this!" Rainbow Dash said aloud, and the world's natives came over, "What is it?" Autumn Blaze asked, "You guys need to be in the air to see it." Rainbow Dash replied, the flying creatures pick up the creatures who could not fly while the seaponies changed to hippogriffs, and the unicorns and kirins use telekinesis on themselves, they see it and let out several exclaims of surprise, they see the pictures Rainbow Dash saw, "What are those?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "What?" Volvox asked, "Those things on the ground to the south of your country." Twilight Sparkle replied, Volvox stands up straight and looks, he sees the pictures on the grounds to the south of his country, "Oh, those, I forgot about those, what you all are looking at are the Nazca Lines, they were originally in a desert in our world." Volvox said, "What do they represent?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We don't know, we just found them, and I brought them here to preserve them." Volvox replied, "Were they a part of your country when you first came here?" Princess Luna asked, "No, it came after the gods transferred the rest of my country here." Volvox replied, they all look and Silverstream gasps with excitement, "Look! There's more over there!" Silverstream said as she pointed the index claw of her front right talon to the country's east, they all look and see more pictures on the ground, "I forgot about those, too, those are called Blythe Intaglios, we don't know who created those, either." Volvox replied, they all look more, "There's another one to the west, too." Princess Ember said, they all go the east of Vinci and look, they see a white picture in a green hill, "Oh, I forgot about that one, too, that one's called the Uffington White Horse." Volvox said, "What does it represent?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Nobody knows." Dommiel replied, and they all look at the pictures on the grounds and go back to their regular days. A few hours pass and Trixie begins to do a play in Vinci, Starlight Glimmer, and several humans who agreed to help, "Come one, come all, and witness the Great and Powerful Trixie." Trixie said as she appeared from a huff of smoke, the humans were excited, "Now, watch in awe, as the Great Powerful Trixie, and her equally Great and Powerful assistant perform a show for you all to enjoy!" Trixie said, and she and Starlight Glimmer begin casting magic and doing optical illusions while the humans used their elemental magic to set the setting and atmosphere of the show, which the humans admired, "Now, Trixie will blow your minds with a new trick I have made." Trixie said, and she casts a spell that looks like she changes the gender of Starlight Glimmer, but she actually just replaced her with a stallion, the humans gasp with awe, "Now to reverse the spell." Trixie said, and she makes the stallion disappear and Starlight Glimmer reappear, the humans cheer as they watched. Trixie and Starlight Glimmer do illusion tricks and some of the humans see right through it, but they did not tell the others, they then do disappearing acts for sometime and the show ended and the humans cheered while Trixie and Starlight Glimmer bowed. Starlight Glimmer and Trixie enjoyed the praise and the humans began throwing roses at them, which baffled them, "What is this?" Trixie asked, she picks one up with her telekinesis, "Roses?" Starlight Glimmer asked, and more were thrown, the two yelp with fear and put up shields to avoid getting cut by the thorns, the humans stop after a while and they continue cheering, the two put their shields down and bow, they leave and the human continue on with their days. Twilight Sparkle went back to the country and went to go see Volvox again, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, Volvox looked at her, "Do you have anymore books?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Well, there is one, but no one understands it." Volvox replied, "Can I see it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, and Volvox uses his telekinesis to get it, he gives it to Twilight Sparkle, "What is it called?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The Voynich Manuscript." Volvox replied, and Twilight Sparkle opens it, she looks and sees she could not read the book, "I don't know this language, either." Twilight Sparkle said, "No one does." Volvox replied, and Twilight Sparkle gives it back to him, "Do you have any other books?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Of course, if you're interested." Volvox replied, "No, I was just curious, I need a break from all of those books I read earlier." Twilight Sparkle said, "Did The King in Yellow drive you crazy?" Volvox asked, "Actually, no, I did find them to be weird, though." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Okay, go on, I need to watch my subjects." Volvox said, and Twilight Sparkle left. Fluttershy walked around Vinci while seeing the animals that roamed around the country, she stopped when she saw art that caught her interest, "Ooh, I've never seen those before." Fluttershy said as she looks at artwork shaped like animals, "Wow, I've always wanted to try one of these." Fluttershy said as she looked on, "Maybe you can try this." a female human replied, and she showed Fluttershy animals that were shaped from folded paper, "What is this called?" Fluttershy asked, "Origami, we have more than just animals." the female human replied, "What about those carvings of the animals there?" Fluttershy asked, "Zoomorphism." the female human replied, Fluttershy was liking the place, "Come on, we'll show you how to make origami." the female human said, and she and other humans around there teach Fluttershy how to make origami. Time passes and everybody was getting ready for bed, the ponies hear loud rumbling in Yakyakistan, it shook the ground as well, the ponies went there and saw the humans on the back of the yaks while the yaks ran, "What are you guys doing now?" Sandbar asked, "Yak racing." a male human child replied, "Yak racing?" Rarity asked, "Yona like yak racing." Yona said, "I can see that." Sandbar replied, "So, y'all race with yaks back at home?" Applejack asked, "We race with horses, too." a female human child replied, "Also donkeys." a male adult human said, "And zebras." a female adult human said, "Don't forget elephants." a second male child said, "It looks like only the yaks is doing the racing, though." Fluttershy said, "Yaks run, people guide." Prince Rutherford replied, "I wanna try!" Pinkie Pie said, "We need someone to ride on your back, then." a second male adult human replied, "Never mind." Pinkie Pie said, "Can you all keep it quiet? It's almost bedtime." Princess Celestia said, the humans and yaks look and saw it was almost dark, "Oh, we have to go to bed, too, see you all tomorrow." a second female adult human said, and they fly home and everybody went to sleep. The next day comes and Ocellus was helping the other changelings decorate their home's walls with carvings inspired by the carvings from Vinci, they changed into different animals and objects in order to make the artwork, the kids were having fun, everycreature in the world were trying their best to create more art since they loved the art in Vinci. Flurry Heart was drawing on the manholes and saw the origami, she tries it and has trouble, "Take your time, this takes years of practice." a male human said, and Flurry Heart tried again, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence tried as well, they used their hoofs to fold the papers, the humans also introduced kirigami to the three, they tried it and had a lot of fun, Volvox thought Flurry Heart has calmed down enough, "Alright, bring her here." Volvox said, and they do, he makes Flurry Heart's horn and wings come back, much to her happiness. Flurry Heart begins doing origami and kirigami with her magic, she could not make the art properly, "I think we've learned enough." Shining Armor said, "Come on, Flurry Heart, let's see what else they got." Princess Cadence said, and they travel together. Rarity was in front of the Taj Mahal and had the women stand together so she could have Photo Finish take a picture, "Stand still, darlings, and go on and smile." Rarity said, and the women did while they showed off their outfits for the picture. Everything was set and they hear dancing, they saw Pinkie Pie doing ballet as she moved around the area, it startled some of the women, "Pinkie!" Rarity said sternly, which startled her and she looked, "Move out of ze way, I'm trying to take a picture here." Photo Finish said, and Pinkie Pie did while embarrassed, the picture was taken and Pinkie Pie's party cannon went off, "Fashion party!" Pinkie Pie said loudly, and a festival begins. The world's natives look at Vinci and the ponies were taking pictures, Sunset Shimmer wandered around Vinci and took pictures of everything, she loved their artwork very much, Tempest Shadow and Grubber would also take airbourne photos of Vinci, Autumn Blaze took pictures as well, "Well, what do we do now, Volvox?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "We wait for until when Hermes and the others can send us back, however long that will take." Volvox replied, "This was actually a pretty friendly place." Dommiel said, Giovi nodded with a smile, "I agree, we actually had no problems here, aside from a few unfriendly griffons over there." Tom replied, "Yes, and the natives are now using our art as inspiration, I hope they can create great things." Volvox said, the other four nod while smiling, "We hope so, too." Princess Celestia said as she flew to them, the five look at her, "What you all have created is wonderful, we have never seen such artwork in our world, you all have been an inspiration to us all, we are making our own, it'll be a while before we create anything like you all, but we'll get there." Princess Celestia said, "We'll probably be gone by then." Dommiel replied, "Well, we have many different magic spells, maybe we can find you all when we are done." Princess Celestia said, "Sure, I'd like that." Volvox replied, Princess Celestia smiled, and she flew back to where she was. Volvox looks around and saw Twilight Sparkle looking at scrolls and many other written documents, Rainbow Dash was doing an air show with the humans using wind magic, Fluttershy was tending to the animals and learning about the zodiac, Pinkie Pie learned how to make food art and the traditional dances of all human cultures, Rarity was looking at the fashion, Applejack was learning how to plant flora to make them look like shapes from overhead, Big Macintosh was looking at wood carvings, Granny Smith was watching the humans plant flora to make art, Spike was learning how to bake different confectionaries, Sunburst was reading their books, Starlight Glimmer and Trixie were watching human plays, Sunset Shimmer was taking pictures of everything, Princess Celestia was learning about the sundials, Princess Luna was learning about the horoscope and the constellations, Princess Cadence was watching a Kabuki play with Shining Armor and Flurry Heart, Tempest Shadow and Grubber looked at the sculptures and statues, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle were looking at the manhole arts, Sandbar was learning poetry, Gallus was admiring the architecture, Ocellus was learning about meditation, Yona was trying other yak activities with the humans, Smolder admired the art of the gemstones, Silverstream was learning different methods on how to paint, Autumn Blaze continued taking pictures of the country so she can try to replicate the same things back at home, Dragon Lord Torch was looking at the country and admiring it, Princess Ember was learning martial arts, Grampa Gruff was flying around and looking at the place, Prince Rutherford was doing yak racing in Vinci, King Thorax was looking at the carvings in the walls of the temples, Pharynx was looking at the roofs of the temples, Princess Skystar was looking at the jewelry, Queen Novo was trying the beauty products, General Seaspray was learning about the knights and samurais, Sky Beak was learning human music, Ocean Flow was learning human cuisine, Terramar was walking around and looking at the country, Rain Shine was learning how the humans made their tea, and everybody else learned new things while exploring Vinci. Volvox looks around and saw the ponies trying human clothing, he saw Rockhoof wearing a kilt, and playing the bagpipe, Mistmane was wearing a cheongsam, but he stopped looking around when he saw Rarity was trying on everything, which caught his attention for the time. The clouds come down and Hermes forms, "Good news, Volvox, we have fixed the problem that has caused you to come here, we can take you back." Hermes said, "Alright, everyone, you all need to go now." Volvox said, "Hold on, I'm almost done with pictures." Sunset Shimmer replied, "I'm almost done, too." Autumn Blaze said, "Alright, get them done, then." Volvox replied, and they do, everybody left the country, "Alright, it's time to go back." Hermes said, and Vinci was sent back home while the world's natives said bye to them. Volvox and his country were back on Earth and they saw nothing has changed, they had fun in the world they were in, "Okay, let's get back to building new structures." Volvox said, the others agreed and they all begin brainstorming on what they should build next. The world's natives were impressed by the artwork of Vinci and make their own, many years pass and a lot of the things they started on were finally finished, the ponies found Vinci with their magic and sent Volvox pictures, which he liked, and the ponies continued exploring the astral plane and wrote down everything they discovered. Sunset Shimmer went back to the world she was staying in and shared her photos with her friends, they liked the pictures and stored them in their computers, they also discovered similar artworks in their world as well, they decided that they will go and look at them at another time. DividedVolvox was the first being to ever exist on Earth that was created by the gods and the Maker, he acted on his own during the time of dragons and dinosaurs, and the time of angels and demons, Volvox met Dommiel during that time, who became his best friend, they also had many different creatures roam the Earth, the two manage to befriend a ghoul named Giovi, who lost his claws in battle and replaced them with knife blades, he chose not to speak, believing actions were more powerful than words. The gods eventually created a new species together called the humans, and since Volvox was the most powerful being on the Earth, they entrusted him to take control of their evolution, which Volvox would be their supreme ruler. Volvox was conflicted over how to make the humans, so he made two different types of humans, one group was militaristic and wanted to use things in a practical manner, they were also stoic and did things without emotion, and the other group was artistic and wanted to use things to make art and other beautiful designs, they valued their emotions and used it to make every decision. Volvox, Dommiel, and Giovi make new friends from both sides, the one from the militaristic group was Tom, he was wearing a black Kevlar and nomex pants with black Kevlar pads on his knees, black Kevlar mid-calf length steel-toed combat boots with silver spikes on the vamps and toe caps, a black Kevlar and nomex long-sleeve shirt that was tucked into his pants, black Kevlar pads on his elbows, a black military belt with a silver buckle, a heavy bulletproof black trench coat that went down to the ground with spikes on the shoulders, black Kevlar and nomex wrist-length gloves with silver spikes all over the back parts of them, and silver claws on the finger and thumb tips of the gloves, a round black Kevlar balaclava that covered the entire head except the face, and a black Level IIIA ballistic face mask with black acrylic glass built into the eye areas, a black peaked cap with a black visor, and a light gray tactical vest over his long-sleeve shirt and under his trench coat for extra armor. The human from the artistic side was the Count of Saint Germain, he had an inverted triangular face, somewhat pale skin, straight bright blond hair that went down to his scapulae, a full, well trimmed and groomed moustache, and green eyes, he was wearing a black top hat, a red double breasted long-sleeve tailcoat with black buttons on each side and was undone and black on the inside, and had a white double folded pocket square in the pocket on the left side of his tailcoat, he also wore a black buttoned up vest with gold buttons, a collar of a white shirt could be seen at the top of his vest, a black ascot with white polka dots was tucked into his shirt, he had two gold chains on the right side of his abdomen, and two silver chains on the left side of his waist, he was wearing white striped pants, and white shoes with black throats, vamps, toe caps, and heels, it was tightened by a gold strap going across the throat. Volvox did not know how to choose which group he wanted to rule until the gods proposed an idea, have them fight in a war, and whoever wins will be the group of humans to exist, while the other group and the things they built will be destroyed and erased from existence, Volvox decided it was the best course. Volvox told the humans how which group of humans would be ruled and the war began with Tom and the Count of Saint Germain acting as advisers, the gods also gave out the rules, the main one was no weapons of mass destruction, and everything had to be fair, the militaristic group made up the left half of the country and was called Sapien, the artistic group made up the right half of the country and was called Vinci, and Volvox had to regulate their weapons and armor so one group does not get too powerful, "Which one do you guys hope wins?" Volvox asked, "I don't care which one." Dommiel replied, Giovi nods in agreement, "I prefer Sapien to win." Tom said, "Vinci." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Why?" Volvox asked, "Because adjusting to Sapien is going to be very hard for me." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Same with me if Vinci wins." Tom said, "You two have no hatred for one another, do you?" Volvox asked, "No, besides us wanting the opposite side to win, we actually get along pretty well." Tom replied, the Count of Saint Germain nods, "Come on, let's see how the country looks." Volvox said, and they look, they see Sapien was completely black while Vinci was many colors, Sapien had fortresses while Vinci had silk tents, they look and see Sapien's flag was just a black flag with nothing on it and on a stick, and Vinci's flag was a flag that was yellow on the left, blue on the right, and red in the center, and had a gold serpentine dragon going across it, Sapien also had razor wires and gun turrets on their fortresses while Vinci had wood carvings and paper lanterns on their tents, each tent also had a different animal on the back of it. Volvox and the other four lived in a two storey rectangular building in the back of the country, the left half was black with razor wire and gun turrets on it, and the right half was gray with a gold roof and had rose and vine carvings in the wall, and paper lanterns hanging from the corners of the roof. The humans were fighting and Volvox regulated them so one side does not get too powerful, they all fight and were at a stalemate at the moment, they all soon sense something off, they realize they were being transferred, "Everybody, brace yourselves." Volvox said, and they were transferred elsewhere. The people of Equestria were getting on with their days, but they hear a noise in the sea that was to the northeast of Canterlot and southeast of the Crystal Empire, Volvox's country appeared right before their eyes, the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs look at it with curiosity, the kirins and buffaloes saw it as well, but mostly ignored it, they could not see anything due to the wall and ceiling around the entire country. A white cloud comes down and goes to Canterlot's balcony, where Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were at, the cloud formed into Hermes, which surprised the ponies, "I am Hermes, the messenger of the gods, that nation there was transferred here due to a magic spell gone wrong on our part." Hermes said, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna laughed, "We apologize for the inconvenience." Hermes said, "It's alright, I think having them here gives us a wonderful opportunity to make new friends." Princess Celestia said, Hermes just bowed, "Well, go on and fix it, we have no complaints." Princess Celestia said, and Hermes went back up into the sky. The world's natives look at the wall around Volvox's country and see one side was completely black while the other side was multiple colors with wall carvings on it, "It looks divided." Rainbow Dash said, "I wonder why." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Ooh, ooh, I know, maybe they're having an art competition." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, it's very clear who's winning if that's the case." Rarity replied, they look and see the black part of the wall had barbed wire and spikes around it, "Um, Ah don't think they're havin' an art competition, Ah mean, look at the black half." Applejack said, and they see the spikes and barbed wire on it, "Oh dear, I sure hope none of the animals get caught on it." Fluttershy said, "Still, I wonder what's going on." Spike said, the others nod in agreement. The world's natives watch the country but nothing happens, they all soon metal clanging against one another, "You all hear that?" Sandbar asked, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream nod, they also hear guns and bow and arrows being launched inside, "That don't sound good." Apple Bloom said, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle nod with her, but nothing happens for the rest of the day and they all go to sleep. The next day comes and the noises were still heard behind the walls, "What is going on back there?" Princess Luna asked, "I don't know, sister, but it doesn't sound good." Princess Celestia replied, they all watch and Hermes floated in the sky and was above the country, much bigger than before, "Volvox!" Hermes said, Volvox came out and stood on the ceiling, everycreature was shocked to see the giant three headed creature, "I'm sorry to say this, but since you're in a new world, you have to take the wall down, you're already distracting the natives." Hermes said, "Um, about that." Volvox replied, "I know it's risky, but it's for the best, because if you don't take it down, they're going to blast it down eventually." Hermes said, and he went up into the sky, Volvox sighed, "This is why I had my country far away from the others." Volvox grumbled, and he went back down into his country. An orange aura appears around the wall and ceiling around the country and they go into the water, they see Sapien and Vinci fighting one another with swords, spears, axes, hammers, catapults, guns, bows, arrows, trebuchets, and knives, the world's natives look on with horror while Pinkie Pie screamed. The humans continue fighting one another, oblivious to the fact that Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Spike were coming over, they land in the country with their hot air balloon, the humans continue fighting and there were dead bodies and fire everywhere, "STOP!!" Twilight Sparkle yelled with her Royal Canterlot Voice as she shot a signal fire into the sky from her horn, the humans ignore her and continue fighting, "EXCUSE ME!!" Twilight Sparkle yelled with her Royal Canterlot Voice, the humans continue to ignore her and keep fighting, Twilight Sparkle growls. The humans keep fighting until telekinesis pulls them apart, "Enough." Princess Celestia said as she and Princess Luna flew above the country, Princess Celestia used telekinesis on the humans from Sapien while Princess Luna used it on the humans from Vinci, "What is going on here?" Princess Luna asked, "We are in the middle of a war!" a male human from Vinci replied angrily, "A war? For what?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Which country will be the one to prosper on this island." a male human from Sapien replied calmly, surprising the ponies and Spike, "Let us go, we need to continue the fight." a female human from Vinci said, "How did the ruler come to such a suggestion?" Princess Luna asked, "He didn't, his superiors up in the sky did." a female human from Sapien replied, they all look up to the sky and then back, "Where is he?" Princess Celestia asked, "In that building back there." a female human from Vinci replied, they look and saw the building in the back was divided as well, they go over and look at it, "Excuse us." Twilight Sparkle said, the roof bursts open and Volvox stood on the roof, "What is it?" Volvox asked, "Why aren't you doing anything to stop the war?" Spike asked, "I can't." Volvox replied, "What do you mean you can't?" Rainbow Dash asked, Volvox tries to cast a spell to get rid of the weapons, but his spell is suddenly canceled, "See? Until the war is over, I am powerless, all I can do is regulate their weapons and armor to make sure one side doesn't get too powerful." Volvox replied, surprising the ponies, "Are there anymore rulers?" Princess Luna asked, they see Dommiel, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, and Tom appear, "What do y'all do?" Applejack asked, "He and I are just Volvox's bodyguards, we don't really do anything." Dommiel replied, Giovi nodded, "What about you two?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "He and I are just his advisors, we can't do much until after the war is over." the Count of Saint Germain replied, Tom nodded, "So, you guys just stand around." Rainbow Dash said, "Pretty much." Tom replied, "You all should leave, the people to your rights are getting angry." Volvox said, they look and see the people from Vinci getting impatient, "Let them go, and leave so you don't get caught up in the war." Volvox said, they do and stop using telekinesis and the war continues, the humans begin fighting one another once again. The Mane Six and Spike were in the throne room with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, "Well, as you all saw, there is a new country, and they are at war, and things look ugly already." Princess Celestia said, "At this rate, the war will not stop at anytime, and they are going to keep fighting." Princess Luna said, "So, why exactly did you two call us here?" Rainbow Dash asked, "If we can, we need to find a way to get both sides to live together peacefully before one side completely slaughters the other, and as you all saw, this isn't just one or two people having problems, but an entire country, this may be the biggest friendship problem we have ever faced." Princess Celestia replied, the seven were uneasy, "This is going to be a hard one, all of us might have to get involved, your jobs is to go there and try to understand both sides of the country, and have them come to terms with one another, surely, you all can do that." Princess Luna said, "Yes, Princess Luna, we can." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Good, you all start tomorrow, and be careful, all of you." Princess Celestia said, and they leave and head home while Princess Luna entered the dream realm and destroyed the nightmares the ponies had that night. The next day comes and the Mane Six and Spike head over again with the hot air balloon, the humans were fighting again and they were loud, Flurry Heart was awakened and crying from the noise, they begin to arrive and the humans from Vinci fire at them, which made them exclaim while ducking while Pinkie Pie screamed, "Begone! Or we will fire at you!" a male human from Vinci said, the six mares and Spike complain, "You all should leave, before that side loses their temper and attacks you guys." a female human from Sapien said, "But we're here to understand your ways." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Our culture and way of living is none of your business." a female human from Vinci said, "Now is not the time, wait until the war is over." a male human from Sapien said, "But one side will be completely gone." Applejack replied, "That's the point, then you can come and learn our ways." the male human from Sapien said, "No, no, no, we wish to learn about both sides." Rarity said, "We don't have time for outside diversions." a male human from Vinci said, "Please leave, we do not wish to cause an even bigger war by killing a foreigner by mistake." a female human from Sapien said, the six mares and Spike were silent for a minute, and they leave while the war continues when the hot air balloon was in the air. Twilight Sparkle and her friends were meeting in the Castle of Friendship and were discussing what to do, "This ain't good, at this rate, they'll destroy one another." Applejack said, "Yeah, and wars are not fun." Pinkie Pie replied, "I can't say I like their uniforms, especially the black ones, they are all the same, it is so dull and boring." Rarity said, "I really hope the animals there are alright." Fluttershy said, "That war looks awesome, I want in." Rainbow Dash said, the others look at her, "What?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Look, we have to stop the war before one side is completely gone, we need to teach them friendship and stop them from destroying one another." Twilight Sparkle said, "So, what do we do?" Spike asked, "We should watch them for a bit now and try to learn their ways through observation, and approach them when and if things calm down a bit." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Ooh, maybe a party will calm them down." Pinkie Pie said, "Ah wouldn't bet on that, they look unfriendly right now." Applejack replied, "Well, let's watch them for now, and try to learn about them by watching from afar." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all leave to go watch them. Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream get as close as they could without being attacked by the humans and watch them, they were still fighting, which made them uncomfortable, "What do we do?" Sweetie Belle asked, "I wanna join, that looks fun." Smolder replied, the others gasp and look at her, "What? Dragons like fighting." Smolder said, they look and the humans keep fighting, they see dead humans on the ground, "Worst country ever." Silverstream said, "Doesn't your kind have two different types?" Gallus asked, "Yes, but we live together in peace, not fighting each other in a war." Silverstream replied, "At this rate, it looks like those guys in the black clothes are going to win." Scootaloo said, they look and see Sapien was better armed and armored than Vinci, "I hope the other guys win, their area looks more fun to learn and explore." Ocellus said, "Me too, I sure hope they have a lot to share." Sandbar replied, "Yona wanna explore both sides." Yona said, "Yeah, Ah wanna learn bout them, too." Apple Bloom replied, and they see the humans continue fighting, "Wow, maybe when they're done, they'll look just like Griffonstone." Gallus said, "I hope not." Sandbar replied, and they see the humans continue fighting, "We should go back so we don't get caught up in their mess." Apple Bloom said, the others agree and they leave while the humans continue fighting. Everycreature in the world watch the new country as the humans fight one another, the humans from Vinci let out battle cries while the humans from Sapien remained silent, the two were fighting and had different tactics, the humans from Vinci had their leaders lead from the front and fought fairly, while the humans from Sapien had their leaders lead from the center, and used whatever dirty tactic they can come up with. The creatures of the world continue to watch and some of them were enjoying seeing the war, the dragons, griffons, and yaks were cheering them on, night time comes and it was time to rest, and everycreature went to sleep. The creatures of the world try to sleep, but loud explosions and gunshots were heard, which woke up the creatures, and made the babies cry, they look and see some parts of Volvox's country were on fire, "EXCUSE US!!" Twilight Sparkle yelled with her Royal Canterlot Voice, the humans ignore her and keep fighting, "HEY!!" Pinkie Pie yelled through a megaphone that was loud enough to move the mountains, the humans continue to fight one another and the humans from Sapien begin throwing explosives, which were loud and made the creatures cover their ears', Gilda flies over and grabs two of the humans off of the country, the two men scream, "Hey!" a male from Vinci said, "We're trying to sleep!" Gilda said angrily, "The war will keep going until it's over." a male from Sapien said, "But it's in the middle of the night!" Twilight Sparkle replied, "Fighting at night time is common for us." a female from Vinci said, "Well, stop, we're trying to sleep!" Twilight Sparkle replied, the humans from Vinci grumble while the humans from Sapien put their weapons down, "Thank you." Twilight Sparkle said, and they leave, the humans from Sapien watch the humans at Vinci and see them glaring at them, the humans wait until next morning to come to continue their war. The next day comes and the humans began fighting one another again as soon as the sun rose, they look and see Volvox was on top of his building and asleep, the fighting noises stop and Volvox opens all six of his eyes, he sees Princess Luna holding the people of Sapien with her telekinesis, while Princess Cadence held the people of Vinci with her telekinesis, and Princess Celestia flew to him, "I am going to ask you to order a ceasefire between the two groups of your country." Princess Celestia said, "How come?" Volvox asked, "I do not appreciate being awakened at night to the sounds of warfare, and more importantly, your country's people are destroying themselves." Princess Celestia replied, "Well, that's easier said than done, my citizens and bosses up in the sky won't like this." Volvox said, "Give it time, maybe if things go right, your people can live together in peace instead of destroying one another." Princess Celestia replied, the humans from Vinci boo while the humans from Sapien shake their heads, "I only ask for a few days, I wish for the ceasefire to be at least a week long at longest." Princess Celestia said, the humans calm down and agree, "Very well, since my citizens are fine with it." Volvox said, "Thank you, I promise you won't regret this." Princess Celestia replied with a smile, and she and the other two princesses fly away. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna called the Mane Six and Spike to Canterlot and were ready to address them, "The ceasefire is in effect now, you six are to learn about them and try to come up with a way for them to live together peacefully." Princess Celestia said, "We have all of the guards standing by, but you all should be able to enter the country safely." Princess Luna said, "Thank you, we won't let you two down." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Go on, then, there's no time to waste." Princess Celestia said, and the six mares and Spike head to Volvox's country. The Mane Six and Spike go to Volvox's country with the hot air balloon and the humans aim their long-ranged weapons at them, "Weapons down, everybody, we'll start an even bigger war if we fire at them." Volvox said, the humans put their weapons down while the humans from Vinci grumbled. The six mares and Spike come down and they walk forward, "Okay, everybody we're here to learn about your ways, and understand your ways of thinking, so I would like for you to talk about your ways of living when we visit you guys." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans from Vinci let out annoyed groans and turned away from them, so did the humans from Sapien, "Hey, we come to say hi, and this is how you all treat us? Worst welcoming party ever." Pinkie Pie said, "Come on now, don't be like that, we need y'all to cooperate and have y'all live together peacefully." Applejack said, "Like I'd ever live with those no good Sapien savages." a boy from Vinci said, "Says the group that wastes valuable resources." a boy from Sapien replied, "Enough, stop it." Twilight Sparkle said as she held the two with her telekinesis, the two stand down, "Now, we're going to learn your ways, and don't try anything funny." Twilight Sparkle said as she put the two boys down, and the six mares and Spike walk forward. The ponies and Spike walk forward and decided to split up, "Okay, Spike, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash, you all come with me, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie, I leave the other side to you three, let's do this." Twilight Sparkle said, and she, Spike, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash go to Sapien while Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie go to Vinci. The ponies and Spike go see the humans, the humans from Sapien aim guns at them while the humans from Vinci glare at them, "Hey, what's with you guys getting all defensive all of a sudden?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "You are still an intruder." a male human from Sapien replied, making Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack uncomfortable, "Come on, guys, we mean you all no harm." Rainbow Dash said, "You still cannot be trusted." a female human from Sapien replied, "Seriously, y'all, lighten up." Applejack said, "We cannot." a second male human from Sapien replied, "What do we do?" Spike asked, "We have no choice, let's just go forward." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they do. Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity walk to the humans from Vinci, they glare at them, "Oh, come on, turn those frowns upside-down." Pinkie Pie said, the humans from Vinci get even angrier, "Why, darlings, I must say, what a diverse fashion sense you all have." Rarity said, the humans from Vinci did not respond, "Um, can I see the animals?" Fluttershy asked, "There are no animals in this country." a female human from Vinci replied, "Oh." Fluttershy said, "Well, I wanna learn how to make your ways." Pinkie Pie said, "Oh, fine, but leave after we're done." a mlae human from Vinci replied, and the three walk forward. Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack walk to Sapien and look around, they see all of the weapons and fortresses everywhere, "Okay, everybody, let's get started, tell me about your culture and your ways." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans remained silent, "Guys, we won't get anywhere if you stay silent." Twilight Sparkle said, "We still can't trust you." a female human from Sapien replied, "Yes, I... I understand why, but you have to." Twilight Sparkle said, "Why?" a male human from Sapien asked, "So we can understand one another and be friends." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Sounds unappealing." a second female human from Sapien said, "Give it a try, y'all, maybe y'all will have different thoughts later." Applejack replied, they thought about it, "Very well." a second male human from Sapien said, and put their guns down, "Thanks, I promise you guys won't be... huh?" Rainbow Dash asked, she looks and sees the humans from Sapien were holding knife handles and were ready to unsheathe them and attack them if they tried anything, "Oh, come on, we mean you guys no harm." Rainbow Dash said, "Can never be too sure." a third male human from Sapien replied, "*sigh* Look, let's just get this over with, I'd like to know about your ways of living." Twilight Sparkle said, "We just do what we must in order to survive, we use everything we can, nothing goes to waste." the first male human from Sapien replied, "Nothin' goes to waste?" Applejack asked, the humans from Sapien shake their heads, "What do you all do?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Eat, drink, make weapons, study medicine, and fortify defenses." the first human from Sapien replied, "I noticed you all are calm and speak in monotone, is there a reason for that?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We value discipline and logic, emotions have no place in our culture." the first female human from Sapien replied, "What?" Rainbow Dash asked with shock, "Why, y'all?" Applejack asked, "Emotions cloud judgement and lead to poor decisions." the second female human from Sapien replied, "Don't you guys have any art or music?" Spike asked, "We only use art to record history, we don't have music." a third male human from Sapien replied, "Why not?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We have more important things on our minds." the second male human from Sapien replied, "Well, the war's not going on right now, so why don't you all go on and try it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Those materials can be used for more practical things." the first female human from Sapien replied, "But don't you guys get bored on working on surviving all the time?" Rainbow Dash asked, "We cannot feel boredom." the second female human from Sapien replied, shocking the ponies and Spike, "What do you guys do for cooking?" Spike asked, "Filtered water cooked in a pot and over a fire is enough for us." the first female human from Sapien replied, "What do y'all cook?" Applejack asked, "Meat and vegetables." the second male human from Sapien replied, "What about making things like cake and pastries?" Spike asked, "Unhealthy and waste of time." the first male human from Sapien replied, "I'm in a military-like group called the Wonderbolts, we do aerial shows." Rainbow Dash said, "Aerial shows are a waste of time." the first female human from Sapien replied, "No, they're not." Rainbow Dash said, "Say, do y'all have any books?" Applejack asked, "History and science books." the second female human from Sapien replied, leaving the four speechless, "Well, I guess that's everything we'll get to know here." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go back. Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity go to Vinci, the humans glare at them, "Come on now, everybody, we just wish to have a peaceful relationship." Fluttershy said, "With you, a trespasser?" a male human from Vinci asked, "No, no, no, we just wish to understand your ways and know why you all behave the way you do." Rarity replied, "Why?" a female human from Vinci asked, "So we can become friends through common interests." Rarity replied, the humans from Vinci murmur, "Ooh, I know, what do you all do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, the humans from Vinci become happy and excited, "We like dodge ball, fun to play." a male child from Vinci replied, "Ooh, I love dodge ball, let's play." Pinkie Pie said, "Pinkie, darling, not the time." Rarity replied, "We also have the best bakeries you can find." a second male human from Vinci said, "I wanna see!" Pinkie Pie said while hopping up and down, "Pinkie, focus." Rarity said, "So, um, do you all plan to bring animals here?" Fluttershy asked, "Why, yes, of course, we are planning to have pet shows and zoomorphic architecture if we win the war." a female human from Vinci replied, "Oh, what do you have as fashion?" Rarity asked, "We're working on that, we're planning to have fashion shows after the war." a second female human from Vinci replied, "Ooh." Rarity said as she clapped her front hoofs together, the humans from Vinci notice her excitement, "Please let me come, I'm always open to new fashion ideas." Rarity said, the humans from Vinci grow to like her, "Tell us, darlings, what does your culture value?" Rarity asked, "We value art, and spreading beauty across the country." a second male human from Vinci replied, "My, I must say, that wall that used to be up was beautiful." Rarity said, "Thank you, we all made that together." a third female human from Vinci replied, "What else do you all value?" Fluttershy asked, "Emotions, it adds so much more beauty to the world." a third male human from Vinci replied, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity smiled, "Do you all have therapy sessions?" Fluttershy asked, "Oh yes, we talk about our feelings to one another, it's okay to be open to us, go on, tell us how you feel." the first male human from Vinci replied, "That's fine, darling, we're okay right now." Rarity said, the humans from Vinci smile, "What else do you all do?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Well, we haven't developed yet, but we plan to add new forms of entertainment." a female child from Vinci replied, the three smile, "Well, that's all, thank you all for your support." Fluttershy said, and the three walk away while the humans from Vinci wave bye at them. The ponies and Spike get on the hot air balloon and the humans from Vinci wave bye at them while the humans from Sapien watched them, "How did you all get along?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Oh, it was great, darlings, I tell you, those humans on that side are very friendly and welcoming." Rarity replied, "Yes, they're all about having fun and being entertaining." Fluttershy said, "They're going to be like us after sometime, all of the baking, fashion shows, and maybe plays." Pinkie Pie replied excitedly while jumping up and down, "Wow, sounds like you all had a good time." Spike said, "What was your side like?" Fluttershy asked, "Boring, they all speak in monotone." Rainbow Dash replied, "Yeah, and they don't value emotions, it's almost like they're robots." Applejack said, "What do they do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "They don't have fun." Rainbow Dash replied, "What?" Pinkie Pie asked, "It's true, they call making those things we have as entertainment a waste of time and resources." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Oh, it is not, it adds beauty to the world." Rarity said, "Come on, everybody, let's just go home and see what we can do to make them stop fighting." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they all head home and sleep for the night. The next day comes and the humans were fighting again already, shocking the ponies and Volvox pulls them back with his telekinesis, "Not yet, everybody, give it a week before you all start fighting again." Volvox said, "But we wanna fight now!" a male child from Vinci replied, "Patience, young one, it'll get you to a lot of places if you have it." Volvox said, the humans from Vinci growl, "Volvox, they want to fight now, you know that Vinci acts purely on emotions." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Yes, I know, I do wish they'd calm down sometimes." Volvox replied, "One reason why Sapien values logic." Tom said, "Even then, someone who is always calm and acts logically cannot see someone's true colors unless it is blatantly shown." Dommiel replied, they watch and see Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream watching them from afar, "Who are they?" Volvox asked, the others shrug, they see Twilight Sparkle flying over, "You six head on to school, I'll handle this." Twilight Sparkle said, and she lands in the country, "Okay, everybody, I need two of you to get together and discuss your differences and come to an understanding." Twilight Sparkle, the humans from Vinci groan and turn away, "Don't be like that, it'll only make things worse." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans from Vinci did not turn back, "Come on, guys, what I'm trying to do is make things better." Twilight Sparkle said, "You'll make things worse at this rate." a female human from Sapien replied, "How?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Just look at Vinci." a male human from Sapien replied, she looks and sees they were still angry and did not want to speak, "I'll go if you guys do this, I promise." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans from Vinci groan, "Fine." a male human from Vinci replied, and he goes to the center of the land while a male human from Sapien goes to him. The two humans see one another while the man from Vinci glares at him, "What do you want?" the male human from Vinci asked, "We're doing what they want." the male human from Sapien replied, the man from Vinci groans with annoyance, "Come on, you two, talk about your culture and try to come to a middle ground." Twilight Sparkle said, "Fine, we value art since it makes the world beautiful." the male human from Vinci said, "It is a waste of material and resources." the male human from Sapien replied, "What about you guys?! Building those forts there, ugh, it is so ugly!" the male human from Vinci said, "It is designed to stand strong and defend the land, it's appearance is a trivial matter." the male human from Sapien replied, "How about your outfits? What do you say about them?" the male human from Vinci asked, "Designed to protect us in battle and damage the enemies in close combat." the male human from Sapien replied, "Isn't it heavy and uncomfortable?" the male human from Vinci asked, "We are trained since birth to get accustomed to the outfit's weight, the outfit itself is not uncomfortable to wear." the male human from Sapien replied, "But it looks hideous." the male human from Vinci said, "Again, it's appearance is a trivial matter." the male human from Sapien replied, "No, it's not! Looking good makes things easier on the eyes." the male human from Vinci said, "What is beautiful and what is ugly is different for each individual." the male human from Sapien replied, the man from Vinci growls, "Your side has flaws as well, you all act on emotions and never think things through." the male human from Sapien said, "Emotions is what adds character to the world." the male human from Vinci replied, "Being emotional means being easy to manipulate and going from doing one thing to another." the male human from Sapien said, "Things get boring after a while." the male human from Vinci replied, "Haven't you ever heard of diligence?" the male human from Sapien asked, "What is that?" the male human from Vinci asked, "When you start something, work on it until it's finished." the male human from Sapien replied, "That is why we have stations and take turns." the male human from Vinci said, "Even though the other person may ruin your original vision?" the male human from Sapien asked, "We have blueprints for them to look at." the male human from Vinci replied, "What if they don't follow it?" the male human from Sapien asked, the man from Vinci becomes speechless, "See, there you go, I don't know why you still take pride in the creation if you didn't make it all by yourself." the male human from Sapien said, "Because they originally came up with it!" the male human from Vinci replied while raising his voice a little, "What about the others who helped make it?" the male human from Sapien asked, "They are assistants!" the male human from Vinci replied, the man from Sapien shakes his head, "What about your side?! Where is your country pride?!" the male human from Vinci asked, "Pride is a delusion that exists nowhere but inside of your head." the male human from Sapien replied, Twilight Sparkle reels back in shock at what he just said, "Then how do you all get things done?!" the male human from Vinci asked, "We just do it." the male human from Sapien replied, "That's it?! No enjoyment?!" the male human from Vinci asked, "There are more important things to get done than feeling emotions about it." the male human from Sapien replied, "Like what?" the male human from Vinci asked, "Our country's defenses and being able to keep it protected." the male human from Sapien replied, "But making those is so boring!" the male human from Vinci said, "Boring or not, it has to be done." the male human from Sapien replied, the man from Vinci growls, "Okay, um, let's end the dispute here since you two can't come to an equal ground." Twilight Sparkle said nervously, "No, in the name of honor, I stand my ground and am ready to fight." the male human from Vinci replied, "Why do you people care so much about honor for?" the male human from Sapien asked, "Because it makes us respected and gives us glory, we'd take that over the shame of being a coward." the male human from Vinci replied, "Sometimes, it is better than run away and live another day." the male human from Sapien said, "Never!" the male human from Vinci replied, and he begins to attack the man from Sapien. The two countries run to them and they all begin fighting again, "No! Stop!" Twilight Sparkle said as she and Volvox use telekinesis to separate them, "Not yet, everyone, not until the ceasefire's over." Volvox said, "But Emperor Volvox, we want to fight now!" a second male human from Vinci said, "You will at this rate, just be a bit patient." Volvox replied, the humans from Vinci complain to Volvox while the humans from Sapien remain silent and just watch them, "Um, excuse me, guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, they all look at her, "Can you all calm down for a minute and try to think things through?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "But thinking about things is so boring." a female human from Vinci replied, "No, it isn't, thinking can be fun." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans from Vinci stop for a minute, "As always, you people from Vinci are easily swayed and can be manipulated, your emotional vulnerabilities may prove fatal one day." a male human from Sapien said, the humans from Vinci growl, "Don't get mad at us, we're not the ones swayed by words and emotions." a female human from Sapien said, the humans from Vinci get angrier, "How are you all able to think straight?" a female human from Vinci asked, "Because we already have goals and know what to do, one shouldn't just stop because of something one says." a second male human from Sapien replied, "But how do you all stay focused on it?" the female human from Vinci asked, "Because we already have a goal and know it has to be done so it will be beneficial in the long run." the second male human from Sapien replied, the humans from Vinci growl, "How do you all focus on that one thing without losing interest?!" a second female human from Vinci asked, "We work together on it at the same time." the second male human from Sapien replied, "How do you all finish without taking breaks?!" the first male human from Vinci asked, "We all work on it together instead of taking turns." the first male human from Sapien replied, the humans from Vinci look at them with disbelief, "Why don't you all work together?" the first female human from Sapien asked, "So we can be proud of each individual addition we make to everything we make." the first male human from Vinci replied, "Even if it takes longer to finish?" the second male human from Sapien asked, "Being proud is each individual addition is more important, you can't rush art." the second male human from Vinci replied, "Alright, guys, that's enough, clearly, you all can't reach an agreement." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans from Vinci glare at her, "Uh... um... is it something I said?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "You should leave before they get mad and lose their tempers." the first female human from Sapien replied, "Oh, um, alright, I'm going." Twilight Sparkle said nervously and she flies back to Equestria. Twilight Sparkle arrives back at her castle and sits in her throne, "Ugh, there has to be some way for them to get along." Twilight Sparkle said, "They couldn't come to an agreement?" Spike asked, "No, they disagree with everything, their cultures are so different from one another." Twilight Sparkle said, "What do you plan to do this next?" Spike asked, "I don't know, Spike." Twilight Sparkle replied, Spike just looks at her, "Just... give me time to rest, Spike, I need to think of a new plan." Twilight Sparkle said, and she sits and thinks while Spike leaves. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna look at the divided country and see it was mostly quiet for now, "You think Twilight will be able to handle this?" Princess Luna asked, "I hope so, I still fear they will have another war." Princess Celestia replied, "Me too, I think we may have to help them." Princess Luna said, "We will if it gets out of hoof." Princess Celestia replied, and the two go back to doing their royal duties. Everybody looks at the country and see Sapien and Vinci were quiet but it was an uneasy quietness, "Y'all think we should go there?" Apple Bloom asked, "No, let's wait for things to cool down a bit." Sandbar replied, "Yeah, going now would probably be a bad idea." Smolder said, "Oh, I can't wait, looks so fun to go to." Silverstream said, "Come on, let's go home, it's almost dark." Scootaloo said, and they all go home and sleep. The next day comes and Twilight Sparkle goes back to the country with Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, and Starlight Glimmer, the humans from Sapien aim their guns at them while the humans from Vinci glare at them when they step out of the hot air balloon, "Come on, y'all, relax." Applejack said, "We still cannot rule out the possibility of betrayal." a male human from Sapien replied, "Seriously? Calm down, guys, we're not here to cause trouble." Starlight Glimmer said, "You already are." a male human from Vinci replied, "Okay, everyone, let's try something different today, let's try switching roles." Twilight Sparkle said, "What?" a second human from Sapien asked, "What we're saying is you all should switch places, and do what the other side does, so you all can try to understand one another." Starlight Glimmer replied, the humans from Vinci look at Sapien with disgust while the humans from Sapien just look forward and their facial expressions could not be seen due to their masks, "Come on, everyone, let's give it a try, we'll explain what things are and how things work if you don't know about it." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans from Vinci roll their eyes' and the two sides go to the other side while the ponies and Spike go to them. The humans from Sapien go to Vinci and they see Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity up ahead, they just look around, "What is this?" a male human from Sapien asked, "Don't you all like the decorations?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Why?" a female human from Sapien asked, "It makes the things look more attractive." Rarity replied, "More like wasting resources." a second male human from Sapien said, "No, it isn't, animals like decorations, too." Fluttershy said, "Since when?" a third male human from Sapien asked, "Um, well, my animals like decorations." Fluttershy replied, "Are your animals domesticated?" a second female human from Sapien asked, "Some of them." Fluttershy replied, "It seems this world's animals may be different from our world, the animals don't care about decorations, they care about surviving." a fourth male human from Sapien said, "Don't they admire the decorations you all make?" Fluttershy asked, "They don't care about decorations." the first male human from Sapien replied, "Wait, they don't?" Fluttershy asked, "No, they only care surviving in the wilderness." the first female human from Sapien replied, they look around and see cake, "What's with the cake?" the second female human from Sapien asked, "To welcome you all here." Pinkie Pie replied, "Sorry, but due to our trainings, we are on a strict diet." the second female human from Sapien said, "What do you all eat?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Fruits, vegetables, bread, meat, and drink water." the third male human from Sapien replied, "But I've brought a lot of party food." Pinkie Pie said, "Sorry, but we can't eat them." the second male human from Sapien replied, Pinkie Pie tears up a little, "What is with those outfits back there?" a fifth male human from Sapien asked, "Haven't you heard of fashion?" Rarity asked, "We have, but it has no place in our culture." the third female human from Sapien replied, "And just why not?" Rarity asked, "Such clothes will get in the way of battle, and serve no function." the first female human from Sapien replied, "It's not supposed to, it's supposed to show off your taste in art and your beauty." Rarity said, "You forgot social status." the second male human from Sapien replied, "Oh, yeah, that too." Rarity said, "Well, come on, go ahead and try some of the things." Fluttershy said, and they do. The humans from Sapien look at the items in Vinci and examine them, "They carve decorations into their items? What a waste of time and degradation of quality." the first male human from Sapien said, "No, it is not, it makes the things easier on the eyes to look at." Rarity replied, "Our eyes are not affected." the second male human from Sapien said, and they look around and see the ornaments on the buildings, "There they go wasting resources again." the first female human from Sapien said, "No, it's not, if the place is ugly, no one will want to go in." Pinkie Pie replied, "Actually, we do, for shelter and hiding from the enemy." the third male human from Sapien said, the three mares become speechless, "Well, come now, we'll show you how some of these things work." Rarity said, and they watch. The humans from Vinci look at Sapien and groan with disgust, "What's the matter?" Spike asked, "They only make their homes in one shape and use one color, it is hideous." a male human from Vinci replied, "I'll admit, all of this black and razor wires is kind of tiring to look at." Twilight Sparkle said, "I can't believe they live like this, it is so tedious." a female human from Vinci said, "Well, you do need some kind of defense against invaders." Rainbow Dash replied, "No way, everybody is welcome to Vinci, regardless of who they are." a second male human from Vinci said, "That's dangerous, y'all." Applejack replied, "Ooh, what is that accent of yours?" a female child from Vinci asked, "Um, everyone in mah family has this accent." Applejack replied, "Please, teach it to us one day." a male child from Vinci said, "Focus, everyone, try their things and try to understand them, come now." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go forward. The humans from Vinci look at the things and see the books, "Ugh, those covers are so ugly." a third male human from Vinci said, "I know, and look at that plain font, how can they live with such dullness?" a second female human from Vinci asked, "It's not the cover you all should look at, it's the inside." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the humans do reluctantly, "Wha? What is this?!" a fourth male human from Vinci asked, they all look and see the pages were plain white with black letters on them, "It is so ugly, I'm bored already." a third female human from Vinci said, "No, don't give up like that, come on, try reading." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she does, the woman throws the book away, "No, don't do that, it's rude to destroy other people's stuff." Twilight Sparkle said, "I just didn't like it, I have no intention of destroying it." the third female human from Vinci replied, "Don't you all like the books?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No! These are all on history, math, and science, it so boring." the first male human from Vinci replied, "Well, what do you all want to read?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Fictional stories." the second male human from Vinci replied, the others nod, "Well, I can give you guys some of my Daring Do books if you want that." Rainbow Dash said, the humans from Vinci murmur with interest, "What is that food there?" a third male human from Vinci asked, they look and see mostly vegetables and oatmeal, "What a boring diet, our diets are full of delicious tastes." the first female human from Vinci said, "I agree with a diet being boring and having almost taste, but I also have to stay in shape for my training." Rainbow Dash replied, "Ugh, we hate training, it's boring and it hurts." a second male child from Vinci said, "But it's necessary sometimes, I had to train in order to fly at first, Spike here had to train, too." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I had a lot of training as a Wonderbolt." Rainbow Dash said, "And Ah had to build up mah strength to work on the farm." Applejack said, the humans from Vinci look at them with disbelief, "Well, come on, try learning their ways to understand them so you all don't have to fight anymore." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans from Vinci grumble and roll their eyes' but they decide to give it a try. The humans try the things of the other countries and have trouble with the mares and Spike trying their best to explain them, the humans from Sapien remain calm and silent while trying to figure out how to work some things while the humans from Vinci complain and let out angry grunts. Volvox just stands on his stronghold and watches, he sighs while he looks on with boredom, "What do you four think of this?" Volvox asked, "I'm getting kind of bored." Dommiel replied, "Yeah, me too." Tom said, "I'm bored as well." the Count of Saint Germain said, Giovi nods, "Well, let's just keep watching." Volvox said, and they do. A few hours pass and the humans were getting ready for bed, "Typical Vinci, always caring more about the art and comfort, wasteful as always." a male human from Sapien said as he looked at a bed with wooden carvings and a big mattress on it, "It is not, I'm quite jealous of this bed." Rarity replied, "Still a waste, let's just sleep." a female human from Sapien said, and they do. The humans from Vinci see Sapien had simple beds, "What is this? It's stone and a moss blanket." a male human from Vinci said, "Well, maybe they didn't have time to make proper beds." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Proper? It is ugly and looks uncomfortable, can't believe we have to sleep on such garbage bed." a female human from Vinci said, the other humans from Vinci grumble and lay down on them and sleep. The next day comes and Princess Ember, Grampa Gruff, King Thorax, Prince Rutherford, and General Seaspray go to the country, they brought gifts with them, "Here you guys go, we brought two of each, think of them as welcoming gifts." King Thorax said, the humans look and see Princess Ember brought gems, Grampa Gruff brought scones, King Thorax brought lanterns, Prince Rutherford brought helmets, and General Seaspray brought seashells, "Her Highness would have came, but she is too busy at the moment." General Seaspray said, "Come on now, one for each." Princess Ember said, and they take them, the humans from Vinci thank them while the humans from Sapien remain silent, they all go back to their respective sides to use the gifts accordingly. The humans go back to their respective sides and look on, "WHAT IT THIS?!" a male human from Vinci asked, they see their homes were fortified and some of their decorations were broken down to be used to make armor while Sapien had multiple colors and their weapons and armor had decorations carved and painted on them, "What did you all do to our home?!" a second male human from Vinci asked, "We're asking you guys the same thing." a male human from Sapien replied, "We made your country more colorful, it is so ugly with one color." a female human from Vinci said, "You should've made it camouflaged instead." a second male human from Sapien replied, "What are these hideous looking writings in our books." a second female human from Vinci asked, "They are information on math and science." a female human from Sapien replied, "You destroyed our country's beauty!" a third male human from Vinci said angrily, "You made our country more sustainable to invasion and wasted valuable resources." a third male human from Sapien replied calmly, the humans from Vinci growl. The humans in the two countries run to one another and begin fighting again, "NO!! STOP!!" Twilight Sparkle said as she shot a signal into the air with her horn, the humans continue fighting, "Should we stop them?" Dommiel asked, "No, I don't think there's any stopping them this time." Volvox replied, the humans continue to fight while the ponies and Spike try to break them up to no avail. The humans continue to fight until a yellow aura appears around them and separates them, "Enough!" Princess Celestia said as she flies down to them, "All you guys have done is fight and argue, you will destroy yourselves if you continue, I understand both sides want what is best for the country, but what you all should do is find a balance that both sides is satisfied with, not try to destroy one another." Princess Celestia said as she walked between the two sides, the humans look at her, the humans from Vinci have widened eyes' while the humans from Sapien just listen, "Now, I'm sure you all saw how the other side was, now, it's time to find an equilibrium and something both sides can agree on." Princess Celestia said, the humans from Vinci look at Volvox, who was sleeping and snoring, "Emperor Volvox." a male human from Vinci said, Volvox continues to sleeps, "Excuse me, Emperor Volvox." Princess Celestia said as she flies up to him, he continues to sleep, "EMPEROR VOLVOX!!" Princess Celestia said with her Royal Canterlot Voice, the humans back away while Volvox opens his eyes slowly, "Yeah?" Volvox asked, "Is it okay if I try to find something both countries can agree on?" Princess Celestia asked, "Go ahead, I'll let you know if my superiors complain." Volvox replied, "Thank you, I promise to get some good results." Princess Celestia said, and she flies back down. Princess Celestia walks between the two sides, "Okay, get the gifts." Princess Celestia said, and they do, "Take turns while answering, and don't talk over others, now, what did you all want to do with the gems?" Princess Celestia asked, "Make new weapons with them." a male human from Sapien replied, "Okay, what about you people?" Princess Celestia asked, "Carve them into our statues." a male human from Vinci replied, "Okay, what were you going to do with the scones?" Princess Celestia asked, "Well, whether we eat it or not depends on if it's healthy." a female human from Sapien replied, "We will consume it if it's delicious." a second male human from Vinci said, "Alright, now the lanterns, what were you all going to do with them?" Princess Celestia asked, "Light them up at night so we can see any intruders in the dark." a second male human from Sapien replied, "Set up lanterns to create a beautiful night scene for painting." a female human from Vinci said, "Alright, both have valid points, what were you all going to do with the helmets?" Princess Celestia asked, "Use it as armor." a third male human from Sapien replied, "Use it as part of a costume." a second female human from Vinci said, "Okay, and lastly, the seashells." Princess Celestia said, "Well, we could put them in cans and tie them up on rope to act as an alarm system." a fourth male human from Sapien replied, "It will be perfect to use as display for our sea and beach landscape paintings." a third female human from Vinci said, "There, you all heard what one another wants, now, work together and make a result that both sides can be happy with." Princess Celestia said, and they do. The humans begin to gather together and use their gifts together, they use the gems first, the humans from Sapien make daggers with the gems while the humans from Vinci try make carvings on statues to put the gems in, the humans from Sapien try putting the gems in the hands of the statues, along with sticking out of the statues to act as traps, the humans from both sides become satisfied. The humans try the scones next, everybody sees the humans from Sapien were either bald or had short hair or shaved heads, they examine the scones and see it was healthy, they nod and eat them, the humans from Vinci also eat the scones and liked the taste. The humans try to use the lanterns next, the humans from Sapien set them up high so they can light up the country at dark, the humans from Vinci turn them on and were unsatisfied with how Vinci looked, so they all rearrange them and try again, they all become satisfied when the lanterns were on the buildings and looked attractive when hanging around the doors. The humans use the yak helmets next and the humans from Sapien test them with their weapons, the helmet withstands all of it, the humans from Vinci wear them and try them on with other outfits and liked it. The humans try the seashells last, the humans from Sapien put them in cans and shake them around, they tie them with ropes and trip them, the cans go down and shake as an alarm, the humans from Vinci put them on their pictures and around the country for visuals, the humans from Sapien see they could also be used as caltrops, they become satisfied and continue working. Princess Celestia smiles as she watches the humans and walks to them, "Good, you all are already reaching agreements, now you all must reach agreements with everything else." Princess Celestia said, and they do. The humans begin redesigning their country while Volvox, Dommiel, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, and Tom watch, they see the country get a makeover, "Well, it looks like the war's over." Tom said, "Not exactly, I still have to see what my superiors will say about this." Volvox replied, and the humans continue redesigning, they finish and Sapien was now full of colors and decorations while Vinci was fortified, both sides were satisfied, "Truce?" a male human from Sapien asked, "Truce." a male human from Vinci replied, and they shake hands while the ponies and Spike smile. The ponies and Spike go back to Canterlot and they were satisfied, "Well, that wasn't too bad, a few bumps, but we did it." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yes, they are all now living together happily, I think this country will grow and develop at a wonderful rate." Princess Celestia replied, and they all watch them. The clouds come down and Hermes forms, "I'm in trouble, aren't I?" Volvox asked, "Well, the gods aren't too pleased that the country to prosper wasn't decided through war, but they'll let it slide." Hermes replied, "Alright, I was ready to reset things, too." Volvox said, "Well, things are fixed on our side, we can send you back now." Hermes replied, "Please do." Volvox said, and he goes into the sky, the world's natives say bye to them and the country disappears. Volvox and his country return to their world and the war was over, everybody lived on peacefully and the country prospered, everybody lived together peacefully and had no wars for generations to come. SakokuHumans lived isolated from the world and were ruled by a quadrupedal, three-headed creature named Volvox, he was a being who was thousands of years old, he befriended a demon named Dommiel during his early years of ruling over the humans, the two watched the humans and they decided that it would be best to enforce laws that would prevent foreigners from entering the country and natives from leaving it so they would be influenced by outside forces. Years passed and the humans in the country developed and there were no creatures around their land and every native who exited the country was killed, the top enforcer of the country was a human named Tom, he was elected through fighting and beating the other humans, he had tan skin, black eyes, and short black hair, "I think we've evolved the country greatly, Volvox." Dommiel said, "I agree, and no outside influences, I think we did great." Volvox replied, "Yes, and I have snipers and assassins standing by in case anyone tries to enter or exit the country." Tom said, "Good, I hope it stays like this." Volvox replied, an earthquake began and everything shook around, "What is going on?" Dommiel asked, Volvox used his magic to see what was happening, "Earthquake, we're shifting, brace for impact." Volvox said, and their country got shifted. Equestria and the other countries shook from a giant earthquake and everycreature exclaimed as the world shook, the earthquake stopped afterwards, "What was that?" Applejack asked, "An earthquake? What caused it?" Starlight Glimmer asked, the others murmured as they wondered what caused the earthquake, "Well, the volcanoes in the Dragon Lands have been a bit active recently." Spike said, "And the seaponies are doing a lot of digging in Seaquestria." Silverstream said, "Just Seaquestria, Silverstream?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Actually, no, seaponies are digging the ocean floor under the other countries, too." Silverstream replied, "Hey, what is that?" Rainbow Dash asked as she looked north from the sky, the others looked and saw a new island in the sea that was to the northwest of Griffonstone, "*gasp* A new country!" Pinkie Pie said, "It must've shifted during the earthquake." Twilight Sparkle replied, they all looked and saw it was a small island with a bridge that led into the country and a moat around it, a gray brick wall with watchtowers was around the country, they all looked and saw humans on top of the wall, they were all wearing an all black one-piece outfit with gray armor all over it, it covered every single body part except their necks and heads, they also wore gray mid-calf length metal boots, "What are those guys?" Spike asked, "I don't know, but they look just like the creatures from Sunset Shimmer's world." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Really?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Yes." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Come on, let's give them a welcome party." Pinkie Pie said, the others agreed and the Mane Six and Spike headed to the new country. The Mane Six and Spike headed to the country with Twilight Sparkle's hot air balloon while the other creatures watched, the humans aimed their bows and guns at the hot air balloon, it landed on the island and the seven began walking to the bridge, but stopped and yelped when an arrow was shot in front of Twilight Sparkle's front right hoof, "This country is off limits to foreigners." a female human said, the seven exclaimed with confusion, "What do you mean off limits?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It is the laws of our country, any foreigner who enters will get the death penalty." a male human replied, "What?! We cannot step hoof into your country?" Rarity asked, "No, you may not." the female human replied, "But we've got a welcome party for you guys." Pinkie Pie said, "We're not attending it." the male human replied, "Can we at least greet you guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, "No." the female human replied, "I want to at least see the animals." Fluttershy said, "We don't have any." the male human replied, "Come on, y'all, it wouldn't hurt to open yerselves to us and make some friends." Applejack said, "We're fine just the way we are, now turn back, or face death." the female human replied, "Oh, come on now, the other countries are watching, too, they might want to enter, too." Twilight Sparkle said, "None of you can, any foreigner who enters our country will be executed." the male human replied, the other creatures exclaim with shock, "Now go, or you seven will be executed on the spot." the female human said, and the Mane Six and Spike went into their hot air balloon and left, "Oh, the nerve, I cannot believe stepping hoof into their land will lead to execution." Rarity said, "Yeah, what are they thinkin'? We've never had a country around Equestria with a law like that." Applejack replied, "Maybe it's to protect themselves or something, we'll just have to show them how welcoming we are." Twilight Sparkle said, "Does that mean no welcome party?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Not yet, Pinkie, we just have to win their trusts and show them we offer our friendship." Twilight Sparkle replied, "So, what do we do?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Let's wait for now and see how things go." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they went back to Equestria. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna looked at the country, "What do you think, sister?" Princess Luna asked, "I can't say I like their laws about foreigners, if they don't drop it, they're going to start a war with the other less friendly countries." Princess Celestia replied, "Shall we interfere?" Princess Luna asked, "Not now, let's watch and see what happens." Princess Celestia replied, and the two walked away. The Wonderbolts practiced flying around and were at an area where they could see what was behind the fortress wall around the new country, their curiosities got the best of them and the humans shot arrows and bullets at them, they yelped and exclaimed as they flew to dodge them, "You all are in restricted airspace, divert course, or you will be shot down." Tom said through a megaphone, the Wonderbolts looked on with shocked expressions but decided to fly away. The hippogriff navy patrolled the seas and they were near the new country, their alarms went off and the hippogriffs were startled, "Attention ships, this area is prohibited, divert course, or we will open fire." a female human said on a loudspeaker, the hippogriffs looked on with disbelief but sailed away. The humans and Tom continued watching the area around the country, Volvox realized that the creatures will continue flying around the skies to go on with their lives, so he used his magic to create a roof on the wall around the country so they do not see what was inside. Silverstream flew to the country and flew low so the humans do not see her, she arrived above the moat and changed into a seapony to enter it. Silverstream swam into the water and looked for an opening to enter the country, but the humans soon heard screaming in the moat and aimed their bows and guns, Silverstream flew out and fell onto the ground while screaming, she had cuts and pieces of broken glass stabbed into her body. Twilight Sparkle teleported to the island with her and Silverstream's friends to get her, "You okay, Silverstream?" Sandbar asked, "Begone, this island is off limits to all foreigners." a male human said, "What is in that water?!" Rarity asked, objects floated up and everybody saw broken glass and sharp and rusty objects, "What is the meaning of this?!" Rarity asked, "They are to keep foreigners out." a female human replied, "What about the fish?" Fluttershy asked, "There are no animals in there." the female human replied, "You hurt our friend." Ocellus said, "She did it to herself." the male human replied, "I just wanted to see what's inside the country." Silverstream said, "Well, the answer's no, there's no opening in our wall for you to look through." the female human replied, "We can't even have a peek?" Sandbar asked, "No." the male human replied, "Now go, or we will kill you all." the female human said, "WHAT?! I'm a princess!" Silverstream said, "Your royal title doesn't mean anything in our country." the female human replied, "What?! I'm a princess, too, and I still can't enter?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "You're still a foreigner, and have to die." the male human replied, "What?! That's ridiculous!" Twilight Sparkle said, "It's the law, now go." the male human replied, and Twilight Sparkle teleported herself and the others back to Equestria. The rulers of the other countries looked at the country and glared since they were already disliking their no foreigners policy, the flying creatures and ships went around the country and tried to avoid them since the humans were aiming bows and guns at anycreature who came near, "That does it, I say we pay them a visit." Princess Ember said, "Wait, Princess Ember, you'll be killed." a male dragon replied, "I'm ready for that, I just like to have a word with them." Princess Ember said, and she flew to them, "Excuse me." Princess Ember said, the humans aimed their long-ranged weapons at her, "Wait, I come in peace." Princess Ember said, "Doesn't matter, you're still on our country borders." a male human replied, Princess Ember groaned and flew back a little, "I just want to talk with your country's ruler." Princess Ember said, a trapdoor on the roof around the country opened and Tom came out, "You're the ruler?" Princess Ember asked, "I'm just the spokesperson, I'll give your message to the ruler." Tom replied, "Your no foreigners policy is affecting my country, we have to take longer and more dangerous routes for trading gems, I ask that you all lighten it up a little bit." Princess Ember said, "We already did." Tom replied, "What?" Princess Ember asked, "The range of our no foreigners policy also applied to areas where the inside of our country could be seen, that was taken away when this roof was added, the law now only applies to our borders." Tom replied, "What about the other countries around you guys before the earthquake shifted your country?" Princess Ember asked, "There were no other countries around us." Tom replied, "Wait. Seriously?" Princess Ember asked, "Yes." Tom replied, "Anyway, can you lighten it a bit so we can fly safe passages to trade our gems?" Princess Ember asked, "How much do you want our policy to be lessened?" Tom asked, "Just around your country and not the island." Princess Ember replied, "Hold on, I'll go ask our country's ruler." Tom replied, and he opened a trapdoor on the fort's roof and went down into the country. Volvox and Dommiel were in the throne room and watching the outside world with a white screen in front of them, Volvox sat on the floor while Dommiel stood to his right, Tom walked in and the two looked at him, "I got a request from a neighboring country." Tom said, "I heard, she wants the island around us to accessible." Volvox replied, "What do you two say?" Tom asked, "Well, I won't like it, but we might have to do what she says." Dommiel replied, "What? You're just going to give in to her just like that?" Tom asked, "Tom, we're already angering the neighboring countries, it's probably for the best, we might have to fight in a war against all of the other countries if we don't." Volvox replied, "Oh, I see what you mean now, yeah, I don't want to fight them all either, we're greatly outnumbered." Tom said, "See, there you go, I'll watch those underwater seahorses for now, I'll see if they'll want to dig for pearls and seashells." Volvox said, "How far will the law be enforced now?" Tom asked, "I think the law should be enforced at where the bridge and moat start." Dommiel replied, "That sounds good, alright, the law about foreigners and natives will be enforced at the bridge and moat, I'll let the natives know." Volvox said, Tom nodded and he left. Princess Ember flew in the air and waited, the trapdoor opened and Tom came out, "We'll lessen the area where our policy takes place, you can fly around the island, but if you come to the bridge or moat, you will be in our country." Tom said, "Alright, hold on, let's give it a try." Princess Ember said, and she flew back to inform the dragons. The dragons tried flying around the island and avoided flying over the moat and bridge, "Alright, that's good enough, thanks." Princess Ember said, and the dragons flew around the country. The dragons flew and did trade with Equestria and gave their gems to the ponies for them to use however they saw fit, Tom and the humans aimed their bows and guns at any dragon who came close to their borders. The creatures continued with their days and the humans saw more seapony ships sailing around, they saw the hipppogriff navy had cannons on them and the humans aimed their weapons at them when those ships came near, "Wait, we're just passing by, we mean no trouble." General Seaspray said, the humans put their weapons down and the hippogriff ships sailed through the ocean with no problem. Tom watched and saw the creatures of the world go on with their days, he saw several creatures look at their country out of curiosity but saw nothing. The humans on the watchtowers looked around and saw the griffons flying around their home, they aimed their bows and guns at them, "You think something like that is going to scare us?" Grampa Gruff asked, Tom fired a rifle and the bullet went past Grampa Gruff's right ear, the griffons screamed and exclaimed since the loudness hurt their ears', "Okay, we'll be going." Grampa Gruff said, and they flew farther away from the country and went to the Crystal Empire to give their scones to them as trade. Volvox and Dommiel heard complaining outside and they exited their fortress, "Alright, settle down, what is it?" Volvox asked, "There's no sun coming in, we can't grow our crops." a male human replied, "It's too dark to see anything." a female human said, "I can't see inside my home." a second male human said, the humans complained more to Volvox, "Alright, alright, hold on." Volvox said, and he made small holes appear for the gardens to grow, "Thank you, Emperor Volvox." a third male human said, "Alright, you're welcome, but remember to hide if the outside people try to peak through." Volvox replied, "I wanna see what's outside." a male human child said, "Now, now, there's no need to, we're fine just the way we are." a female human replied, "Do the people look just like us?" a female human child asked, "See for yourself." Dommiel replied, and he used his shadow magic to create shapes of what the creatures outside looked like, the humans gasped with awe, "Are they quadrupedal?" a second female human child asked, "All but one." Dommiel replied, and he showed her the shadow of a dragon, "Can we see them in person?" a second male human child asked, "You can see them flying by through the holes in the roof." Volvox replied, the children looked and saw the dragons, griffons, and hippogriffs fly by, they gasped in awe, "Is there anything else you all need?" Volvox asked, "Well, it's still a little cold with the sun blocked out." a third male human replied, Volvox used his hellfire magic to heat up the area, "Thank you, Emperor Volvox, you have always did your best to look after us." the third male human said, "Just doing my job, Dommiel and I will be in our fortress if you need us." Volvox replied, and the two walked back and the day went on with nothing else happening. The next day came and the rulers looked at the country, they saw holes in the roof, and whoever tried to look through them had arrows shot at them, "They still won't let anyone near." Shining Armor said, "I know, their refusal to let anyone into their country is weakening Equestria's defenses." Princess Cadence replied, "I still don't know what to do, I've never seen a foreigner-be-executed law before." Shining Armor said, "None of us have, even Princess Celestia is shocked by it." Princess Cadence replied, Flurry Heart cooed and burbled, "Calm down, Flurry Heart, we'll try to work something out." Princess Cadence said, and they watched and they fired arrows at any Pegasus, dragon, griffon, changeling, or hippogriff who tried to look into their country, the creatures watching from their native lands looked with disbelief. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna flew to the island and landed, they walked forward and the humans aimed their guns at them, "Wait, we have important things to say." Princess Celestia said, "What is it?" Tom asked, "Your refusal to allow foreigners into your land is weakening our country's defenses, it is powered by friendship, you all not allowing us to be your friends is making us vulnerable to threats." Princess Celestia replied, "You're joking." a male human said, "We're not." Princess Luna replied, "Can't you just make do with what you currently have?" a female human asked, "We're trying, but we're not comfortable with our country having weaker defenses, we would appreciate it if you all offered us your friendship." Princess Celestia replied, "The law still stands, any foreigner who enters our country will be executed." Tom said, "But we are the supreme rulers of the country to the southwest of here." Princess Luna replied, "That doesn't matter, you're still a foreigner." Tom said, "You're willing to execute a ruler or a figure of authority if they enter your country?" Princess Celestia asked, "Yes." Tom replied, "You do realize that I am the most powerful ruler here, executing me will result in war with the other countries." Princess Celestia said, "Just stay out of our borders, and you'll be fine." Tom said, "That's not what I mean, what I mean is your country will be destroyed, you all don't seem to have any magic of any kind." Princess Celestia said, "We are only the first line of defense." Tom replied, "Well, can we at least be on good terms with you all? For our country's defense reasons?" Princess Celestia asked, "No." Tom replied, "Why not?" Princess Luna asked, "The no foreigners policy also means no relationships with other countries." Tom replied, "Seriously?" Princess Luna asked, Tom nodded, "Can we at least be on good terms with one another?" Princess Celestia asked, "Being neutral is good terms for us." Tom replied, "Neutral? We need your trust in order for our defenses to go back up." Princess Luna said, "Then you're just going to have to adapt and get used to it." Tom replied, "What? You refuse to..." Princess Luna said, "Luna, that's enough, we won't win them over, let's just go back." Princess Celestia said, Princess Luna calmed down and the two flew away. The Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike all stood together and looked at the country, "Ooohhhhh, this is making me so mad!" Pinkie Pie said while gritting her teeth together and pulling on her own mane, "Pinkie, relax, I don't think we're going to be able to get them to open." Twilight Sparkle replied, "But I wanna throw their welcome party." Pinkie Pie said, "What do you think is behind their walls?" Sweetie Belle asked, "We ain't sure, Sweetie Belle, it's anyone's guess." Applejack replied, "There were problems earlier with the dragons delivering things here, we were forced to take new routes until they thankfully made the range of their laws shorter." Smolder said, "I heard about the griffons having problems, too, some of them tried to see what was inside the country and those people there shot at them." Gallus replied, "The hippogriffs had to redirect their sailing courses since they get worried when our warships go by." Silverstream said, "Well, you guys do have cannons on those ships, so it's understandable." Starlight Glimmer replied, "Didn't the Pegasi have problems, too?" Scootaloo asked, "Yeah, the Wonderbolts almost flew over them and they opened fire." Rainbow Dash replied, "Our defenses are down, too, if they don't accept friendship, our defenses will continue to be a little weaker." Twilight Sparkle said, "I still wanna see what's inside." Pinkie Pie said, "So, we're just gonna leave it at that?" Apple Bloom asked, "I don't think we have much of a choice." Spike replied, "Say, what have the yaks and changelings been doing with them?" Sandbar asked, "King Thorax hasn't done anything yet, he's just watching." Ocellus replied, "Yeah, Prince Rutherford not trust newcomers, so yaks just watch." Yona said, "Wait, I see a birdie flying over them." Fluttershy said, they all watched, the birds flew over the countries and the humans just watched it, "I guess animals can go over them just fine." Twilight Sparkle said, "Ooh, this is splendid, Fluttershy can get the birds and flying bugs to report to her what they see inside the country." Rarity said, "I was thinking the same thing, Rarity." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Still, I can't say I like their outfits, it looks very unfashionable." Rarity said, "Well, they are guardin' the country, so Ah think wearin' fancy clothin' would be the last thing on their minds." Applejack replied, "Can you have your animals tell you what's in the country, Professor Fluttershy?" Silverstream asked, "I'll try." Fluttershy said, "Well, I guess we keep waiting for now." Twilight Sparkle said, and they watched the new country together. The humans watched the area around them and the birds flew by, they saw hippogriffs flying by and some tried to look into the country, the humans aimed their bows and guns at them and they flew back, "The people to the northwest of here are acting a little strange." a female human said, they looked and saw the yaks were looking at them and standing on wooden watchtowers, "Yak cannot see what is in country, watchtower need to be bigger." Prince Rutherford said, and the yaks began building, a male human shot an arrow past Prince Rutherford's right ear and he yelped, "Attempting to look into our country is punishable by death." the male human said, the yaks looked on with shock. Tom and the humans continued to patrol the area and it was noon, the humans went into trapdoors and went into the country while new guards came up, they watched the areas around them and they saw the birds fly around and look into their country while they flew around, the humans watched them and they flew around the country, the birds soon finished and flew away. The humans watched the sea and saw the marine life swimming around the island, "Those animals acting strange to you?" a female human asked, "A little." a male human replied, the marine animals swam around a little and soon left, "Huh. That was strange." the female human said, "It was, let's keep an eye out." the male human replied, and they and the other humans continued patrolling. The birds flew back to Fluttershy's cottage while her friends stood behind her and waited for her to finish communicating with the birds, she finished and went to her friends, "All they can see are gardens, they can't see anything else." Fluttershy said, "What?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Seriously?" Applejack asked, Fluttershy nodded, "Maybe I should try to take a look." Ocellus said, "I had the marine animals go and take a look, too, I'll ask them what they saw later." Fluttershy said, "Why are we doing this again?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Safety reasons, since we don't know what's behind those walls, they might have dangerous war weapons in there." Twilight Sparkle replied, "So, what do we do now?" Apple Bloom asked, "We wait, let's see what they do." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they continued to watch the country. Twilight Sparkle watched the country carefully and used her telescope at home to keep an eye on them, she saw the humans take turns patrolling their country and were on alert twenty four seven, Twilight Sparkle yawned and stopped watching, she laid in her bed and went to sleep. The next day came and the ponies watched the country, a hippogriff ship crashed among the rocks of the new country and wounded hippogriffs drifted ashore onto the island. The injured hippogriffs laid on the ground in pain while the humans just stood and watched. Princess Skystar flew to the country while seaponies came and changed to hippogriffs and got the injured hippogriffs, "Hey!" Princess Skystar said, the humans looked at her, "You have injured people on your island." Princess Skystar said, "Your point?" a male human asked, "Why aren't you guys tending to them?" Princess Skystar asked, "Injured foreigners are not our concern." a female human replied, "WHAT?!" Princess Skystar asked, "You heard us, anything bad that happens to anyone not native to our country will not receive our help." the female human said, "You can't be serious!" Princess Skystar replied, "She is, it doesn't matter if you come to us injured or sick, we will not offer our aid, even if you beg." Tom said, "How did you guys manage to still be a country to this day?!" Princess Skystar asked, "We help one another and love each other in the country, that's it." the male human replied, "Wait until my mom hears about this." Princess Skystar said, "I already did, Skystar." Queen Novo said as she flew to her, "Can you believe these people, mom?!" Princess Skystar asked, "As a matter of fact, I can, we didn't allow foreigners in our country, either." Queen Novo replied, "So you all executed foreigners as well?" Tom asked, "No, we'd show them the way out of the country, not kill them." Queen Novo replied, "I still can't believe you all won't help sick and injured foreigners." Princess Skystar said, "It's the law." Tom replied, Princess Skystar glared at him, "Come on, Skystar, let's go." Queen Novo said, and the hippogriffs left. The humans looked around and saw the ponies and changelings glaring at them, the humans ignored them and continued watching the outside world, more birds flew by and the humans watched them, the birds flew back and forth and the humans watched, they saw the same type of bird flying over their country, "Are they migrating?" a female human asked, "It looks like it." another female human replied, and the birds continued to fly and went past the mountains into the Dragon Lands. The humans watched and two black birds flew from the Dragon Lands went to Equestria. The two birds flew to Ponyville and went to Fluttershy and her friends, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Princess Ember, Gabby, Prince Rutherford, and General Seaspray were also present, the two birds changed to King Thorax and Pharynx, "Well?" Fluttershy asked, "We can't see much, there's only holes in the roof to allow sun in for their gardens to grow." King Thorax replied, "You guys didn't see the people inside?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Nope, holes are too small to see past their gardens." Pharynx replied, "Wait, how big are the gardens?" Applejack asked, "They're actually kind of small." Pharynx replied, "Well, considering the size of that kingdom there, I don't think there would be that many people there." Twilight Sparkle said, "Considering that they are closed off to the rest of the world, I guess gardening is how they grow their food." Princess Luna said, "It would make sense, considering they won't do trade with others." Princess Celestia replied, "The princess was furious with them earlier today." General Seaspray said, "Yes, I saw that, I am livid as well." Princess Celestia replied, "I can't believe they would just leave us injured there, that is not very nice of them." Fluttershy said, "I know, griffons do that, too, I'm tired of seeing it." Gabby replied, "So, what can we do?" Smolder asked, "There's not much we can do, we all know they have gardens inside and need the sun for it to grow, let's wait and see what they do next." Princess Luna replied, "People shot arrow at yak for trying to see what was behind walls." Prince Rutherford said, "We saw that, too, we might be going to war with them soon at this rate." Princess Cadence replied, "I hope not, our country's defenses will lower even more if that happens." Princess Celestia said, "Well, I guess all we can do is wait." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all went their separate ways. The humans continued patrolling the area and they saw seaponies around their island and had pickaxes, they looked and saw them diving deeper into the water to where they could not be seen, "What do we do, Tom?" a male human asked, "Let's wait and see if they come back up." Tom replied, and they continued to watch their borders while the day went on as usual, they watched to see if the seaponies would come back up, they did not, "I wonder what they're doing here." a female human said, "Who knows, just as long as they don't do anything to us." a second male human replied, "Let's keep watching and see if they come back." Tom said, and they did. The humans watched the waters and saw some seaponies come up to the surface with gems from under the water, "Are those pearls?" a second female human asked, "Looks like it." a third female human replied, and the seaponies changed to hippogriffs and flew back to Mount Aris with the pearls, "I guess it'll be fine." Tom said, "Yeah, I don't think them getting pearls under our water is going to affect us." a third male human replied, "Alright, time to switch." Tom said, and they did, they watched their country's borders for the rest of the day and nothing happened. The next day came and there was a commotion in the country, Volvox and Dommiel went outside to see what was going on, "Stop! Thief!" a male human said, the thief laughed as he ran away and the country's guards chased him. The thief climbed up onto a roof of a house and he jumped and grabbed the ledge, he made it onto the roof of the walls and laughed as he ran forward and jumped onto the bridge, he ran away and a woman patrolling the country's border shot an arrow into his back and killed him. The countries around them screamed at what they did and Twilight Sparkle teleported herself and her friends to in front of the bridge, "Excuse me!" Twilight Sparkle said, Tom and the others looked at her, "What was that about?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Laws of our country." a male human replied, "Yeah, yeah, I get it, no foreigner gets into your country." Twilight Sparkle said, "No native gets out, either." a second male human replied, "WHAT?!" Rarity asked while the others looked on with shock and horror, "They can't leave your country, either?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "No, that is punishable by death as well." a female human replied, the Mane Six jaws' dropped, "Excuse me." Princess Celestia said, they all looked up and saw her and Princess Luna coming, they landed on the island and walked forward, "I'd like to have a word with your ruler, I can understand executing foreigners for entering your country, but executing your own people for leaving the country is something I will not allow." Princess Celestia said, "It is the law, anybody who enters or exits our country has to die." Tom replied, "What kind of law is that?! Why is there such a law for your country?" Princess Luna asked, "The ruler doesn't want outside influence to change our ways." Tom replied, "You all should be let out to see the world." Princess Celestia said, "About that, there was nothing but water around us before the earthquake." the female human replied, "Then how did you all know about other creatures?" Princess Celestia asked, "Ships and airships." the first male human replied, "I would like to speak to your ruler." Princess Celestia said, "You address what you want to say to me." Tom replied, "No! I demand an audience with your country's ruler!" Princess Luna said while she reeled up on her hind legs and slammed her front legs on the ground and raised her voice, "No one sees the ruler." the first female human replied, "What do you mean no one sees the ruler?!" Princess Luna asked while her raising her voice more and was just about to use her Royal Canterlot Voice, "I'm his messenger, so just say what you have to say to me and I'll give it to him." Tom replied, "I would like to speak to him directly, but I'd like to know why he doesn't want outside influence in his country." Princess Celestia said, "So we can grow and develop without inference from others." Tom replied, "Okay, I would also like to know why he has his people executed for going outside the country." Princess Celestia said, "Same with the outside influence, it's so the natives don't bring it into our country." Tom replied, "This sounds more like a prison to me." Princess Luna said, "It's not, we can do pretty much anything we want inside." the first female human replied, "Anyway, I suggest you all think of your ways, the other countries are not happy, either, take a look." Princess Celestia said, they did and saw the other countries glaring at them, "Let's go, let's give them time to think." Princess Celestia said, and she and Princess Luna flew away while Twilight Sparkle teleported herself and her friends back. The humans watched their borders and saw a female hippogriff child wash ashore onto their island, "Help." the female hippogriff said weakly as she crawled forward, the humans saw she was anorexic and her stomach growled, the humans aimed their bows and guns at her, "Turn back, this country is off limits to foreigners." a male human said, "But I have nowhere else to go." the hippogriff replied, "You have wings, don't you? Why don't you fly elsewhere?" a female human asked, "They're injured, I can't, I lost my necklace to change to a seapony, too." the hippogriff replied, "Where are your parents?" Tom asked, "They're dead." the hippogriff replied tearfully, "What about your home?" a second male human asked, "It got burned down a week ago." the hippogriff replied, "What was that ship you were on?" Tom asked, "It was taking me to an orphanage, but it crashed and I have nowhere to go." the hippogriff replied, tears fell from her eyes and she crawled forward, "Please, I'm begging you, let me stay here." the hippogriff said as she crawled forward, a female human shot an arrow beside her right talon and the hippogriff yelped, "It doesn't matter if you're a child, injured, hungry, homeless, and an orphan, you're still a foreigner, so if you enter our country, we will have to kill you." the female human said, "Can I at least have something to eat?" the hippogriff asked, "Your problems are not our concern." the first male human replied, the other people in the countries exclaimed and gasped at what they said, and the rulers went to them with the yaks being carried over by dragons, "How dare you refuse to help an injured and homeless child, you all should be ashamed of yourselves!" Princess Luna said, "As we said, foreign problems are not our concerns." the female human replied, "No! This is where I draw the line, I demand a word with your ruler!" Princess Celestia said while raising her voice, "Do you all have to complain about everything?" Tom asked, "Not just us, look around." Princess Luna replied, the humans looked and saw the other creatures around them, "We are all tired of this no foreigners in your country and no natives outside your country law, along with your refusals to help foreigners in need when they come to your country." Princess Celestia said, "What problems have you all had?" Tom asked, "We are forced to change our trade routes to avoid getting shot at." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "You all have made the griffons scared to fly by." Grampa Gruff said, "We have to change course of our ships and are scared of getting gems and jewels from under the water around here." Princess Skystar said, "We are scared to go around here and my kind has been avoiding this area so we are not shot at." King Thorax said, "My kind and I are too scared to even go near this place, but this is something we can't ignore." Rain Shine said, "My empire and the rest of Equestria cannot fly through this area peacefully anymore, we even had to change the direction our train takes to get to Griffonstone because of you guys." Princess Cadence said, "See, there you all go, we'd like to speak to your ruler." Princess Celestia said, "Hold on." Tom replied, and he went into the country. Tom entered the country and walked into the fortress where Volvox and Dommiel were at, "The outsiders would like to see you two." Tom said, "The answer's no." Volvox replied, "Really? They're not happy." Tom said, "We know that, and you know the laws, no foreigners see the ruler." Dommiel replied, "Well, they're not going to be happy, but okay." Tom said, and he left. Tom went back out and the others looked at him, "The ruler said he's not coming out." Tom said, the other creatures began yelling and complaining loudly and angrily and Discord appeared in the air, "How persistent, your ruler still refuses to see them and causes chaos with your laws, I must say, I like this." Discord said, and he disappeared and appeared on the bridge, "Hello, my good people, my name is Discord, and I am here to enter your country." Discord said, the humans shot their arrows and bullets at him, they went through him and into the bridge, the other creatures covered their own ears' due to how loud the guns were, Discord laughed at them, "Nice try, but that's not going to work on me." Discord said, "Volvox, Dommiel, we've got a supernatural entity." Tom said, Dommiel used his shadow powers from inside the country and made everycreature's shadow move up and form into a giant black creature with no lower body, the creatures looked on with awe. The shadow creature smashed Discord with its hand and Discord teleported above it unharmed, "Oh please, is that really your best defense?" Discord asked, Volvox used his powers and hellfire appeared around the country and burned Discord while the others stepped back, the flames extinguished and Discord was still unharmed, "Pathetic, really, now to show you what I can do." Discord said, and he snapped his finger and thumb and made the country's walls and roof disappear. The humans on the watchtowers fell to the ground while the humans inside the walls grabbed their bows and guns from their homes while Dommiel and Volvox got ready to attack Discord, everycreature saw the inside of the country was full of gardens and homes were made from gray bricks, the males wore tonics and leggings while the females wore dresses, "Wait, everyone, stand down." Volvox said in a booming and echoing voice, everycreature stared at him with bewilderment because he was quadrupedal and had three heads and a tail while everybody else in the country were bipedal and had one head and no tail, "But Volvox." a male citizen from his country said, "Look around you, we're outnumbered." Volvox said, the humans saw how many people there were and lowered their weapons, "I assume you're the ruler." Princess Celestia said, "What do you want?" Volvox asked, "I want this no foreigners policy of yours lifted, it has given us nothing but trouble." Princess Celestia replied, "No can do, I still don't wish for outside cultures to influence my own country's." Volvox said, "But you might learn some new and interesting things." Princess Skystar said, "Nope, still not opening our borders." Dommiel replied, "But Dommiel." a female citizen from Volvox's country said, "Relax, I'll get another wall up later." Volvox replied, "No, keep it down, we are paranoid you have dangerous weapons with that wall up." Princess Celestia said, "Take a look around." Volvox replied, and the creatures only saw him, Dommiel, the humans, houses made from gray rocks, and gardens to grow food, "See, there you go, I don't have any hidden weapons or anything." Volvox said, "I'd still like for you to keep your walls down." Princess Celestia replied as she looked up at Volvox's three heads since he was a head taller than she was, "Wow, for the way you look, you're kind of small." Rainbow Dash said, "This isn't my regular size, I can change at will, I am much bigger than this." Volvox replied, "Keep your walls down, and no more executing your own people for leaving the country." Princess Cadence said, "If we don't?" Dommiel asked, "Yaks declare war!" Prince Rutherford replied, "All of us will as well." King Thorax said, "Alright, you guys win, leave now, I have to make new laws." Volvox replied, and the creatures left and Queen Novo took the hippogriff child with her. Volvox gathered his citizens together and he began to go over the new laws, "Alright, everyone, we have to help whoever comes here now if they need it since the other countries will be angry if we don't, also, due to their anger of our laws, we can no longer kill anyone who exits the country." Volvox said, "What do you suggest?" Tom asked, "Simple, if you leave, you'll be exiled and have to live elsewhere, but if you come back, then you will die, how does that sound, everyone?" Volvox asked, the humans nodded and murmured in agreement, "What about outsiders?" a female human asked, "Law still stands, any outsider who comes to our country will still die, are you all okay with that?" Dommiel asked, the humans nodded while smiling, "No, that won't do, we'll be at war if we do that, we'll have to find a way to block them from coming in." Volvox said, "So what do we do about them?" a second female human asked, "I'll just set up walls for now, let's keep the moat, too." Volvox replied, the humans agreed, "Okay, I think it's good, no more killing foreigners for entering our country, but they will be told to leave instead, no more killing natives for exiting our country, they'll be exiled, but will be killed if they come back, and our laws on crime still stand." Dommiel said, the humans nodded in agreement, "Alright, it's decided then." Volvox said, and he used his magic to make the wall reappear and the guards continued to patrol the country. The humans watched the world around them and saw everything go on normally, Twilight Sparkle teleported to their island, "No!" Twilight Sparkle said, the humans looked at her, "You all were supposed to change your laws!" Twilight Sparkle said, "We did." Tom replied, "What did you guys change?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We'll help whoever comes ashore, natives will be exiled if they leave the country, they'll be killed if they come back, and foreigners are still not permitted to enter." a female human replied, Twilight Sparkle's jaw dropped, "No! You're not supposed to execute anyone!" Twilight Sparkle said, "You won't be executed for coming into our country now, you'll likely just be put in the dungeon." Tom replied, "Why won't you guys let us in?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We just don't want any outside influences and wish to remain completely neutral." Tom replied, "You guys don't want any tourists?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Tom and the other border patrol guards shook their heads, "You guys could at least try giving friendship a try, take a look around." Twilight Sparkle said, "We already did." a male human replied, "Don't those acts of kindness and friendliness want you all to open your borders?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the humans shook their heads, "Come on, guys, there are other creatures who want to come here to learn about your culture." Twilight Sparkle said, "The ruler is still thinking about what to do if they do come." Tom replied, "He should allow them in, we all would appreciate it, too." Twilight Sparkle said, "The answer's no." Tom replied, "Come on, everybody, you all could get some valuable materials and resources if you open your borders." Twilight Sparkle said, "Is that all?" a female human asked, "No, you all can make friends and learn history." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Which part of history?" Tom asked, "All parts, each country has a different history, you can share yours, too." Twilight Sparkle replied, "No thanks." a second female human said, "Well, what about trying new food?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We're fine with what we got." Tom replied, "Aren't you all tired of eating the same thing over and over?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the humans shook their heads, "Uh... how about...?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Try to persuade us all you want, you're not coming into our country." Tom said, Twilight Sparkle growled and walked onto the bridge, Volvox sensed her and picked her up with his telekinesis and she struggled to break free while she yelped and exclaimed, he used his magic to make a wooden post appear on the island with a gibbet hanging from it, Volvox put Twilight Sparkle in the gibbet with his telekinesis and the iron rods went into her mouth to silence her and around her horn so she could not use her magic. Twilight Sparkle let out muffled yells of protest through the iron rod in her mouth, "I guess the ruler has finally decided what to do with foreigners who enter the country." a second female human said, "Yes, I think it's a good idea." a second male human replied, the other guards nodded while smiling, another teleportation happened and Starlight Glimmer appeared with her friends, "Let our friend go!" Rainbow Dash said, "She broke the laws of our country, so she must face punishment." Tom replied, "This is punishment?! Having her bound and gagged in a cage?!" Rarity asked, "It's a gibbet, we use it to punish criminals." the first female human replied, "What kind of jail is that?! They can't breathe in that!" Rainbow Dash said, "That's kind of the point." Tom replied, "Let our friend out." Starlight Glimmer said, "After she serves her sentence." Tom replied, "How long will that take?" Applejack asked, Tom went back into his country and soon came back, "Five more minutes." Tom replied, five minutes passed and Volvox made the gibbet disappear with his magic and Twilight Sparkle gasped for her while she fell to the ground and her friends went to her, "You people are not nice." Fluttershy said, "What kind of jail is that? I can't breathe in that thing!" Twilight Sparkle said, "It's designed to asphyxiate you, be grateful we didn't kill you." the second female human replied, Twilight Sparkle's jaw dropped, "Come on, Twilight, let's get you home." Starlight Glimmer said, and she teleported herself and her friends back to the Castle of Friendship. Twilight Sparkle rubbed her own mouth and horn while her friends comforted her, Spike got ice to make the red spots around Twilight Sparkle's mouth go down a little, "What do we do now?" Applejack asked, "I don't know, I'm out of ideas." Twilight Sparkle replied with a lisp, "I can try giving them their welcoming party." PInkie Pie said, "Ah don't think so, Pinkie Pie, they'll likely put ya in one of them cages as well." Applejack replied, "Consider who you're talking to, I'll get out of it in a jiffy." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, I guess it's worth a try, I still can't think of anything else to do." Twilight Sparkle said while still lisping, "Okay, off I go." Pinkie Pie said, and she dashed away. The humans patrolled their borders and watched for anything, "Excuse me." Pinkie Pie said, they looked down at the bridge and saw Pinkie Pie on the grass with her wagon and party cannon, "Can I at least throw you all your 'Welcome to Equestria' party?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Try to persuade us all you want, you're not coming in." Tom said, "No, it's just a party, I'll throw it out here." Pinkie Pie said, "We'll be exiled from our country if we leave." a female human replied, "Can you make an exception this time, I got plenty of things for everybody." Pinkie Pie said, Volvox changed his size and became as tall as Dragon Lord Torch, he looked and saw Pinkie Pie's party items while she smiled, "No." Volvox said, Pinkie Pie frowned while her mane and tail deflated a little, "Don't take it too hard, we're just not going." Volvox said, "What about you guys?" Pinkie Pie asked, the humans shook their heads, Pinkie Pie looked down and walked into the water while Volvox, Tom, and the guards watched her. Twilight Sparkle and her friends waited for Pinkie Pie to come back and she walked into the castle with her entire body wet from going into the water, "How'd it go?" Applejack asked, "They said no." Pinkie Pie replied, "That's it, I'm out of ideas." Twilight Sparkle said, "Twilight, darling, take a break, maybe something will pop into your head." Rarity replied, "Yeah, you should, you don't look well." Starlight Glimmer said, Twilight Sparkle looked at herself at a reflection on her castle's wall and saw she had bloodshot eyes with bags under them, "Yeah, *yawn*, I should rest, you all should, too." Twilight Sparkle said, and she went to sleep while her friends left. The next day came and the guards were going up into the watchtowers to patrol their country, a drunk male guard came up and walked and stumbled around, he moved side-to-side and fell into the moat. The humans ran to get him out but Twilight Sparkle, her friends, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, and the Young Six appeared on their island. Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer used their telekinesis to get the human out of the moat and the others began treating his wounds, they took the glass and rusty metal shards out of his body and put disinfectant on his cuts and bandaged him up. The creatures finished treating the injured human and Twilight Sparkle put him up into the watchtower he was in prior to falling with her telekinesis, "Here you all go." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans aimed their bows and guns at them, "Hey! What gives?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "Our country is still off limits to foreigners." Tom replied, "We just saved the life of one of your citizens." Ocellus said, "That doesn't mean we're opening our borders." a female human replied, the creatures all protest and complain to them loudly and angrily, "Complain all you want, the answer's no." Tom said, "A thank you would be nice!" Silverstream said angrily, "He brought that accident onto himself." a male human replied, "How so?" Fluttershy asked, "Just look at him, he's drunk, he's been drinking on the job." the male human replied, "We still saved his life, you guys owe us." Twilight Sparkle said, "Why?" the female human asked, "That's how things first, we help one of you, and then you help us in return, it's called repaying favors." Twilight Sparkle replied, "The answer's no." the female human said, "Come on now, we just helped you guys." Sandbar said, "Then leave already, before we put you all in gibbets." the female human replied, the creatures complained while Rarity growled, "Come on, everyone, let's go, it's no use." Twilight Sparkle said, and she teleported herself and the others away. Twilight Sparkle and the others arrived back in Ponyville and her friends groaned and growled angrily, "How rude! They didn't even thank us for helping them!" Rarity said, "I know, right, I say we declare war on them." Gallus replied, "No, Equestria's defenses will lower even more if that happens." Twilight Sparkle said, "But our country's defenses won't, I say we fight them." Smolder said, "Yona agree, yaks should declare war!" Yona said, "Everybody, calm down." Twilight Sparkle said, they looked at her, "I know you all are mad, but we should calm down and wait to see what happens, there's really nothing we can do right now but leave them be." Twilight Sparkle said, "Seriously? You've seen how small their country is, we can destroy them." Smolder replied, "Maybe, but you've seen how powerful the two rulers are, just because the country is small doesn't mean it's weak." Twilight Sparkle said, "Come on now, I think a cannon from a hippogriff navy ship will destroy that wall." Gallus replied, "I think so, too, but I really don't want to go to war with them." Silverstream said, "Me neither, they haven't attacked us, either." Ocellus replied, "But their laws have affected all of us, and for the worse." Sandbar said, "Give it time, everycreature, let's just wait and see what happens." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Fine, but one more disagreement between them, and the dragons are going to war." Smolder said, "So are the griffons, Griffonstone's had enough of them." Gallus replied, "Yaks will go, too, after yak figures out way across water." Yona said, "Go home and cool off for now, everycreature, we'll just leave them be for now." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they all left. Pinkie Pie walked around the town for sometime and made sure every foal was alright, she watched the time and was waiting for a certain time to come to go back to the country, she watched the sun and a few hours passed while she worked at Sugarcube Corner, she got her wagon and party materials and walked out of Ponyville. A few hours passed and the humans switched guards, they saw the water bubbling and Pinkie Pie walked out with her wagon, she went to the country, "I'm here to see the person who fell." Pinkie Pie said, "Why?" a female human asked, "I want to throw his 'Get Well Soon' party." Pinkie Pie replied, "Take your things elsewhere." a male human said, "But I got cards and cake." Pinkie Pie replied, "Take those with you." the female human said, "Oh, come on, I've got medicine for him, too." Pinkie Pie replied, "Keep it to yourself." the male human said, "Let me in! Please!" Pinkie Pie replied, "No." the female human said, Pinkie Pie put her head down and her front legs over her face and began to cry, "I wanna enter." Pinkie Pie said, "You can if you wish to be put in a gibbet." the male human replied while Pinkie Pie continued to cry. Pinkie Pie cried her eyes out and soon finished, "You leaving now?" the female human asked, "I still wanna make sure he's okay." Pinkie Pie replied, "You're just going to have to wait until his next shift comes." the female human said, Pinkie Pie frowned even more, "Can I at least see him now to make sure he's okay?" Pinkie Pie asked, "No." the female human replied, Pinkie Pie's jaw dropped a little, "Can you at least let him know I send my regards?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Empathy from foreigners is not welcome in our country." the male human replied, Pinkie Pie screamed out of shock and cried again, "No!" Princess Celestia said as she flew to them from her castle, she landed on the island and walked to them, "You dismiss the concerns of one of my citizens for yours! I will not stand for this!" Princess Celestia said sternly, "It's the law." the male human replied, "No! You are in our land! This place is powered by love and friendship, your refusal to accept a foreigner's concern is unacceptable!" Princess Celestia said very sternly, "What are you getting at?" the female human asked, "You all refuse to thank the others for saving one of your people, and dismissing another person's concern for them is not right! I would like a few words with your ruler!" Princess Celestia replied, Volvox grew himself bigger to see her while Dommiel made two black shadow wings appear on his back and he flew up to see her while Tom came out and went onto a watchtower, "What is it?" Volvox asked, "I would like for you to let my subject here in to see an injured subject of yours." Princess Celestia replied, "Why?" Dommiel asked, "How can you all not see her concern and desire to make sure the person is alright?" Princess Celestia asked, "I do, but I still don't wish for outside influence in my country." Volvox replied, "Even when it's beneficial?" Princess Celestia asked, "Have you ever influenced countries for the better?" Volvox asked, "Take a look, my student and her friends have changed many places for the better." Princess Celestia replied, Volvox looked and saw the ponies helping the other creatures and making them friendlier with others, "See. Why don't you give us all a chance and show you that friendship with us can be helpful?" Princess Celestia asked, "What do you say, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, Volvox looked and saw the dragons and griffons were ready to attack and declare war on him if he refused, "Let's give it a try." Volvox said, the humans looked at him and exclaimed with confusion, Princess Celestia became suspicious and looked around, "Stand down, everycreature, no violence." Princess Celestia said, the dragons and griffons did not, "*sigh* They're not going to stand down, I wish you all good luck, Pinkie, go get your friends." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away while Pinkie Pie dashed to Ponyville. Twilight Sparkle and her five friends went to the island while Volvox took the walls down and they entered, "Alright, everyone, we'd like to see that injured person first." Twilight Sparkle said, and the humans went to go get him, the man limped to them while the six mares went to him, "Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked, the man nodded, she looked at his cuts and saw they were not deep and were healing, "Wow, you're healing quickly, you'll be fine in no time." Fluttershy said, and the humans carried him away. The six mares walked forward and saw the gardens, "Y'all havin' trouble growin' food?" Applejack asked, the humans shook their heads, "Let me see the soil, though, Ah might be able to give y'all better soil." Applejack said, and she walked to a garden, she examined the soil and saw it was dark brown, "Yeah, Ah might be able to give y'all better soil." Applejack said, and they walked around more. Rarity looked at the humans and paid attention to their outfits, which she did not like, "I must say, you all need more diversity in your outfits, you all can use more than just tonics and leggings, and you all should wear more diverse dresses, I shall prepare them when I have the time." Rarity said, the humans looked at her with confusion, they walked around more and Rainbow Dash looked around, she saw kids running around and playing tag, she saw more kids playing with jacks, and other kids playing hopscotch, "Wow, I guess they don't have much things to do for fun." Rainbow Dash said, she also looked at the guards and saw they all wore the same outfit. Pinkie Pie left the group and looked around to see what sweets they made, she saw only fruits, "*gasp* You guys don't have any pies?" Pinkie Pie asked as she looked around, she looked at the sweets and desert and saw only fruits and nuts, she left and came back with her cakes and pies, "Here you go, everybody, enjoy." Pinkie Pie said, the humans did not pay attention to her, "Come on, everybody, they're yummy in the tummy." Pinkie Pie said, the humans still ignored her, she looked down and walked away. Twilight Sparkle looked around for books and did not see any, she looked and soon saw cookbooks and history books, "You guys don't have many books, I see." Twilight Sparkle said as she looked around and the humans ignored her, she went to a child she saw reading a book and he looked at her, "What are you reading?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the boy showed her and Twilight Sparkle saw the book was a fairy tale, "Oh, I have books like that, too, would you like one?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the boy shook his head, "Understandable since we're new here, maybe you'll change your mind after you read one." Twilight Sparkle said, and she walked around. The six mares looked around while the humans ignored them, "Okay, I think we can win them over, let's try helping them tomorrow, come on, let's go home, it's late." Twilight Sparkle said, and she teleported herself and the other five back to Ponyville. The humans complained to Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom about the decision to let them in, "Settle down, everybody, those other countries were going to attack us if I didn't open our borders, we're greatly outnumbered." Volvox said, "But how powerful are they militarily?" a male human asked, "We don't know, and even if they're weak, they can still overwhelm us in numbers." Dommiel replied, "That horse country doesn't look too strong." a female guard said, "Look again." Volvox replied, and the humans did, they saw the ponies had control over the weather, various magic spells, royal guards, the Wonderbolts, and Discord causing chaos, "See? Going to war against them is unwise, it'd be better to just let them in so the other countries don't go to war with us." Volvox said, "I don't like this new change." a second female human said, "None of us do, but we have to, we don't have a choice." Dommiel replied, "Let's wait for now and see if our feelings change later." Tom said, the humans became silent and decided to go on with their days while Volvox and Dommiel entered their fortress. The next day came and Twilight Sparkle teleported herself and her friends to the island with their items and they went to go see them, Twilight Sparkle saw the boy from before and showed a collection of books, "Here you go, pick the one you like the most." Twilight Sparkle said, the boy chose a purple book and opened it and he saw it was a picture book with words on it, "Can you read it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the boy nodded, Twilight Sparkle smiled and the boy read the book while she watched. Rainbow Dash flew around and looked for something to do for fun, she saw the kids playing tag and with jacks while the adults conversed and got on with their days, Rainbow Dash flew around and did stunts for whoever would be interested and a bunch of kids went over to watch her, they gathered around and watched in awe as Rainbow Dash did aerial stunts, a few adults watched her as well while Rainbow Dash smiled and had fun. Fluttershy tended to the babies since there were no animals in the country, she sang lullabies to crying babies and they calmed down, the female humans watched her and smiled while Fluttershy sang and her voice soothed many humans, "Do you all have any songs you all like to sing?" Fluttershy asked, the humans looked at one another, "Umm...?" the humans asked, "You all don't have any music to sing?" Fluttershy asked, the humans shook their heads, "That's okay, I have more songs to sing." Fluttershy said, and she sang more lullabies while the humans listened. Pinkie Pie hopped around and gave the humans her confectioneries and they tried them, "What do you all think?" Pinkie Pie asked, the humans nodded while smiling, "Goodie, I'll get your welcoming party ready soon." Pinkie Pie said, and she dashed away while the humans continued trying her confectioneries. Rarity brought dresses to the country and females looked at them with interest, "One at a time now please, there's enough for everybody." Rarity said, and the females looked at the dresses and admired the patterns and stitching, Rarity continued to show them the dresses and eventually began showing the females shoes, "Here you all go, I have many different colors, shapes, and sizes, take whichever one you like the best." Rarity said, and the females continued looking at her outfits. Applejack was giving the humans new soil to use to grow crops with, "Here y'all go, fresh soil from mah farm, give it a few months and Ah think y'all will like the results." Applejack said, the humans took the soil and began putting on the ground and began plowing it to make it suitable for using to grow crops. Applejack looked and saw the humans had carrots, corn, pumpkin, squashes, and tomatoes as crops, "Y'all need help?" Applejack asked, the humans shook their heads and Applejack walked away. Twilight Sparkle and her friends gathered together and watched the humans, "Well, Ah think we're done here for today." Applejack said, "It went pretty well for a first day for me, how about you guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yup, I had an awesome time doing tricks for them." Rainbow Dash replied, "I'm able to calm and soothe babies when they cry, it was so fun to do." Fluttershy said, "I gave my treats to them and they loved them." Pinkie Pie said, "My clothes are already getting attention, I think this will be very beneficial." Rarity said, "They're already usin' my soil, Ah'll see how their crops grow after a few days." Applejack said, "Okay, good, we're off to a good start, let's come back tomorrow." Twilight Sparkle said, and she teleported herself and her friends back to Ponyville. A week passed and the Mane Six continued helping others, Twilight Sparkle gave the humans books for them to read, Rainbow Dash did stunts, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie tended to the children, Rarity gave her clothes to them, and Applejack watched the soil, "Look." a male human said, they did and saw the crops grew faster and bigger in Applejack's soil than their own soil, "See, Ah told y'all it would work." Applejack said, and they continued tending to their crops. The humans went to Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom and talked about the foreigners, "Alright, everyone, settle down, what is it?" Volvox asked, "These foreigners are actually pretty helpful to have around." a male human child replied, the humans murmured in agreement, "Yes, we noticed, but what is it you all want?" Dommiel asked, "We'd like the foreigners policy removed." a male human replied, the other humans agreed, "You all sure?" Tom asked, the humans said they were, "Alright, it's decided, it'll be removed since majority rules, those of you who don't want it removed, you may go to another country or continue living here." Volvox said, the humans who did not want the no foreigners policy removed nodded, "Alright, I'll let the others know." Volvox said, and he grew in size, the creatures looked at him, "It's been decided, we'll remove the policy about the foreigners, you all can come." Volvox said, the other creatures cheered, "Hold on, I'm not done yet." Volvox said, and they got quiet, "Those who don't want it removed may leave my country, so natives can exit, too, just keep that in mind if they decide to leave my country. That is all." Volvox said, and he shrunk back down to the size he stayed at while the world's creatures cheered, "Alright, let's see how things go." Volvox said, and they waited to see what would happen. The next day came and the other creatures were in their country already, they saw the creatures going around and a new pony they did not recognize, "Is this the country?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Yeah, they would execute foreigners for entering their countries and natives for exiting it, they removed the policy yesterday." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I learned there was a country with a similar policy or law in my world many years ago, I forgot which country it was, though." Sunset Shimmer said, "Your world had it, too?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yeah, I'm surprised to see it in this world, though." Sunset Shimmer said, "Well, it's gone, so let's look around." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they did. Volvox watched the foreigners and he saw how excited the foreigners were to enter, "Hi there." a female voice said, Volvox looked down at the creature, "My name is Autumn Blaze, and your country looks kind of boring to me, I was hoping you would hire a jester like me to spice things up a bit." the creature said, "Sorry, but I'm not hiring anyone right now." Volvox replied, "Oh, I see, well, come see me if you change your mind." Autumn Blaze said, and she walked around, "Hey, King Volvox." Silverstream said as she flew to him, "It's Emperor Volvox." Volvox replied, "I was thinking that you should add some statues and decorations to your country." Silverstream said, "Why?" Volvox asked, "Because it's so boring the way it is, everything is made from stone, it's all one color, and there's only grass and gardens here." Silverstream replied, "Your point?" Volvox asked, "I think some decorations and paint will attract some tourists." Silverstream replied, "I have no interest in tourism." Volvox said, "But don't you want more creatures to come and check out your country?" Silverstream asked, "That's their choice, if they want to, they can come if they wish." Volvox replied, "But tourists will also want to learn your culture." Silverstream said, "You can see our culture from your homes." Volvox replied, "No, not that, I mean as in holidays and celebrations." Silverstream said, "We don't have any." Volvox replied, "What? What about your own birthday?" Silverstream asked, "That's not a holiday." Volvox replied, "Well, you should add something, it'll make visiting this country better." Silverstream said, "I'll think about it." Volvox replied, Silverstream smiled and flew away. Volvox watched the foreigners and streamers went off, "Welcome to Equestria, every... um... uh... what are you creatures called?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Humans." Tom replied, "Welcome to Equestria, everyhuman." Pinkie Pie said, and the party began, everybody joined in while Pinkie Pie made the humans try her treats and games, "Say, where were you guys before the earthquake happened?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Very far up north from here." Tom replied, "Yeah, very far, you couldn't even see our country from the northernmost part of these lands and high up in the sky." Dommiel said, "Wow, you guys were that far away from here?" Sunburst asked, "Yup, we couldn't see you guys, either." Volvox replied, "And there ain't anycreature else up there?" Applejack asked, "Nope, just us." Volvox replied, "Then why do you guys have a moat?" Smolder asked, "That to prevent natives from getting out the country." Tom replied, "Well, you all should remove all of those sharp objects and rusted materials, I think it would make a great swimming pool." Twilight Sparkle said, "What do you two say?" Volvox asked, "I don't think we have a choice." Dommiel replied, "Yeah, probably not." Tom said, "Alright, another time." Volvox said, the creatures seeing him smiled and walked away. Pinkie Pie's party continued and Trixie and Starlight Glimmer did a show and everybody enjoyed it, "Well, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "Maybe some outside influence isn't so bad after all." Volvox replied, and the party continued until nighttime. A month passed and the moat was now a swimming pool, the country got more decorative and diverse in terms of clothing, architecture, and games for kids to play, they also got more books to read, and learned about other cultures, the humans traveled out and went to the other lands and were welcomed in. Equestria's defenses went back up to maximum power and the humans lived peacefully with the other creatures. Single GenderVolvox was an ancient being who was born on a land surrounded by many other kingdoms, he had a twin sister born with him as well, the two began to set up their own kingdoms and everybody lived under the two in peace, his sister proposed an idea to him, they would rule a kingdom with only one gender in it and see how they develop, the other creatures agreed and Volvox decided to try it to see what would happen. Several years passed and the kingdoms were created, Volvox ruled an all-male kingdom while his sister ruled an all-female one, the two had several different types of creatures in them, Volvox's second-in-command was a demon named Dommiel, his bodyguard was a ghoul named Giovi, his adviser was a time traveler only known as the Count of Saint Germain, and his public speaker and commander of law and military was a human named Tom, the five looked out and saw how many different creatures lived in the kingdom, "Alright, so, how many different type of creatures are here now?" Volvox asked, "Let's see, human, mutant, angel, demon, vampire, werewolf, troll, ghoul, golem, incubus, elf, fairy, orc, dwarf, apostle, centaur, transylvanian, merman, cenobite, and tyrant, so yeah, quite a bit." Dommiel replied, "Wow, that's actually more than I thought." Volvox said, "I think your sister has just as many creatures in her kingdom." Tom said, Volvox looked from the top of his palace and saw his sister's kingdom, she had a diverse kingdom as well, "Well, we'll be having some more creatures here soon, I think, I'm just lucky we all live in a utopia right now." Volvox said, "How many more creatures you think are out there?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "A lot, we've been getting apostles ever since our encounter with Ganishka." Volvox replied, "What do you think of your kingdom so far, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "It's pretty average if you ask me, you've got gardeners there, entertainers there, we also have assassins, soldiers, mercenaries, and doctors, so yeah, a pretty normal kingdom if you ask me." Volvox replied, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, and Tom smiled. The door opened and a tall human with red hair came in, "Hey, Volvox." the human said as he walked forward, he and the other four looked and saw it was Gene, "What do you want, Gene?" Volvox asked, "When are you gonna start letting some women in?" Gene asked, "I already said, Gene, my sister decided on letting us be divided by gender, so if you really want women as company, you're just going to have to go out the country." Volvox replied, "Why did she come up with the dumb idea to begin with?" Gene asked, "She wanted to see how societies will develop with only one gender in them." Volvox replied, "That's stupid if you ask me, when they're gone, so is the entire place." Gene said, "Them, not me, I can start over." Volvox replied, "Yeah, easy for you to say." Gene said, "You're welcome to leave if you want to, Gene, no one's holding you back." Volvox said, "There's literally nowhere else with people, and besides, I'm always available if you're looking for help or need bodyguard work." Gene replied, "Why don't you serve under us as an assassin?" Dommiel asked, "Nah, my last trip had assassins after me, it left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth ever since." Gene replied, "Well, go on and leave, I have a kingdom to watch." Volvox said, and Gene left, "Really a shame, he would've made a good assassin." Tom said, "True, but maybe we can hire him for mercenary work or fight in the tournament." Volvox replied, "I agree, I think he'd be a good opponent." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Maybe, let's wait a bit and see if we can find a job for him." Volvox replied, and they got to running the country. Volvox watched the country along with Dommiel and Giovi while the Count of Saint Germain discussed with others on how to make the law enforcement on future events to prepare for while Tom walked around the kingdom and made sure everybody lived in peace, everything went well and he climbed into a watchtower to see if there was anyone coming to the kingdom, there was no one, so he climbed down. The kingdom ran smoothly and a big earthquake suddenly happened, "Which one of you cast earth magic?" Volvox asked, the citizens shook their heads, "Anyway, brace for impact." Volvox said, and the plate tectonics shifted. The world shook as the creatures screamed, "What's going on?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Ah don't know." Applejack replied, and the earthquake stopped while everycreature held onto whatever they could. Everycreature got up and looked around, "Is everyone alright?" Twilight Sparkle asked, everycreature nodded, "*gasp* Look!" Pinkie Pie said as she pointed, everycreature gasped at seeing a new kingdom in the water that was to the northwest of the Dragon Lands, "A new place." Rainbow Dash said, "Come on, we can at least welcome them." Twilight Sparkle said, and her friends got into the hot air balloon and headed to the island. Twilight Sparkle and her five other friends arrived at the island and parked the hot air balloon, the six walked to the entrance, a green light came out and scanned them and they heard the double doors lock, "Hey, what gives?" Applejack asked, Tom and the others heard them and they and several creatures climbed up into the watchtowers and saw them, "Um, hi, Princess of Friendship here to welcome you guys." Twilight Sparkle said, "Sorry, but we can't let you in." Tom replied, "What?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Why not?" Rarity asked, "This is a single gender society." Tom replied, "Huh?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "What?!" Rarity asked, "You heard me, this is an all-male society, you six want the all-female society over there." Tom said as he pointed to his left, but he saw the all-female society was not there, "What?" a human asked, the other creatures went to the walls and looked around while Dommiel grew shadow wings and flew while Volvox grew bigger and they all looked around, the other creatures noticed how many different creatures lived in the kingdom, "Where is the all-female society?" another human asked, "Anyway, we're here to welcome you guys, so can we come in?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Nope, it's illegal to let females in here." Tom replied, "Oh, come on, who came up with that?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "My sister." Volvox replied, "Your sister?" Fluttershy asked, "Yeah, she wanted to see how societies will develop if they only had one gender." Tom replied, "Can we at least throw you all a welcoming party?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Nope, we can't let any of you in for any reason." Tom replied, "So, we can't enter your country." Applejack said, "Yeah, only males can enter, so you're just going to have to leave." Tom said, the six mares looked down and walked back to the hot air balloon, "Sorry." Tom said, and the hot air balloon took off. The hot air balloon went back to Equestria and Rarity growled, "I can't believe they didn't let us in, that is no way to treat a lady." Rarity said, "Still, no females allowed, that's a weird law." Rainbow Dash said, "I know, Rainbow, I'm just as baffled as you are, and a society with only one gender is not going to live on for generations, they should change it." Twilight Sparkle replied, "What do we do now?" Applejack asked, "Well, since they won't let girls in, I might have to send Spike to act as our messenger." Twilight Sparkle replied, "And if that doesn't work?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Then we might have to send my brother or Sunburst instead." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Um... we can see their kingdom from here." Fluttershy said, they looked and saw the inside of their kingdom behind the walls, "It looks pretty normal to me." Applejack said, "Yeah, what a diverse amount of creatures, though." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, I guess we should just head on back and make arrangements to stay on their good side." Applejack said, and they went back to Ponyville. The creatures around the world murmured about the law and Volvox listened to them, "A single gender society? How did they live to be around?" Princess Skystar asked, "That's beyond me, Skystar, we're going to have to send Sky Beak and General Seaspray to handle the politics, maybe Terramar, too." Queen Novo replied, "You going, father?" Princess Ember asked, "No need, Ember, I can see everything just fine from here." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "You wanna go, Pharynx?" King Thorax asked, "I'll think about it, I think we can both go together." Pharynx replied, "You all stay here, I'll go and check it out later." Grampa Gruff said, "Yak will go to new place soon, other yaks wait here." Prince Rutherford said, "Who should we send, Rain Shine?" Autumn Blaze asked, "I don't know, Autumn Blaze, I'm going to have to choose when I have the time." Rain Shine replied, Volvox watched the world as they discussed what to do, he looked around and noticed a lot of creatures around his kingdom, "What do you think, sister?" Princess Luna asked, "I'm going to contact the Crystal Empire soon, I'm going to see if Shining Armor is available to handle trade and relations with them." Princess Celestia replied, Volvox shrugged and he shrunk himself to a smaller size and went back into his palace. The Mane Six met up with one another in Twilight Sparkle's castle and they went to Spike, "Spike, I have a favor to ask of you, that new kingdom there doesn't allow girls inside, can you act as our speaker and ambassador for us?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Sure, I won't let you down." Spike replied, "Thanks, Spike." Twilight Sparkle said, "Still, a single gender kingdom, I've never seen one of those before." Starlight Glimmer said, "None of us have, it's still very surprising such a place exists." Twilight Sparkle replied, "And that big three-headed guy said there's another one with only girls in it." Rainbow Dash said, "I am still very baffled by this, I don't even know how they came up with something like that." Rarity said, "We're all baffled, Rarity, Ah'm still havin' trouble gettin' it through mah head." Applejack replied, Spike burped and letter came out, "It's from Princess Celestia, she's saying Shining Armor and Sunburst are going to be going to the kingdom." Spike said, "Good, we can always use more than one." Twilight Sparkle said, "Can I have Cheese Sandwich throw them a welcoming party?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Maybe later, Pinkie, we need to see what they're like, first." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I sure hope their animals are alright." Fluttershy said, "We'll know when Spike sees the place, Fluttershy." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they looked at the kingdom and saw the other creatures going over, "Oh, they're going already, you should go, too, Spike." Twilight Sparkle said, "On it." Spike replied, and he flew to the kingdom. Spike flew to the new kingdom and met up with Shining Armor, Sunburst, Sandbar, Gallus, King Thorax, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, Sky Beak, and General Seaspray, "Sandbar? Gallus? What are you two doing here?" Spike asked, "The girls wanted to know what was in here, too, so we're here for them." Sandbar replied, "I hope it's fun inside." Gallus said, the green light scanned them and the doors opened, the natives of the kingdom looked at them, "Who are you guys?" Volvox asked, "We're ambassadors from the other countries." Sunburst replied, "Which ones?" Dommiel asked, "He and I are ambassadors for the ponies." Shining Armor said as he pointed to Sunburst, "I'm here as an ambassador for them, too." Spike said, "Aren't you here to represent them?" Volvox asked as he pointed to the Dragon Lands, "Huh? No dragon ambassador?" Spike asked, "Doesn't look like it." Gallus replied, "Me represent yak." Prince Rutherford said, "I'm here to represent the changelings." King Thorax said, "I represent the griffons." Grampa said, "And I represent the hippogriffs and seaponies." General Seaspray said, "Two creatures?" Tom asked, "Yes, I can change between the two at will." General Seaspray replied, "Hold on. Gene, I got a new job for you." Tom said, and Gene walked out, "Alright, guys, let's get this over with." Gene said, "And you are..." Sunburst said, "Gene Starwind, freelancer, I'll be acting as your tour guide." Gene replied, "You're a tour guide?" King Thorax asked, "You got a problem with it?" Gene asked, "It's just... you don't look like a tour guide." King Thorax replied, "You really don't, I mean, you have a knife, whatever that thing there on your right thigh is, a star on your shoulder, and you're covered in scars." Gallus said, "It's from my other jobs, I usually don't do jobs like this." Gene replied, "What jobs do you usually do?" General Seaspray asked, "Treasure hunting, bodyguard work, and sometimes make money at the tournament." Gene replied, "You guys have a magic tournament?" Shining Armor asked, "Fighting tournament." Gene replied, some of the ambassadors became uncomfortable, "Anyway, let's go, let's make this quick." Gene said, "Wait!" a voice said, everybody looked and saw a male kirin running on the water and to them, "I hope I'm not too late, I'm here to represent the kirins." the kirin said, "Is that everyone?" Gene asked, they nodded, "Let's go." Gene said, and they entered the kingdom. Gene led the creatures into the kingdom and there were humans in front of them already, they saw a yellow car driving people around, it finished and people came out, "What is that?" Grampa Gruff asked, "A taxi, driver's a bit messed up in the head, though." Gene replied, the driver came out and the creatures looked at him with bewilderment since he was wearing sunglasses and had a mohawk, "Hey, Gene, alright if I drive them around?" the taxi driver asked, "Another time, Travis." Gene replied, "You know him?" Spike asked, "Everybody does, he's Travis Bickle, he's been hailed as a hero recently for stopping some crime around the kingdom." Gene replied, "Still, that's not an ideal mane style to have for his job." Sunburst said, "You guys have taxis, too?" Gene asked, "Yeah." Shining Armor replied, "Anyway, let's keep going." Gene said, and they walked forward. Gene led the group and they looked around and saw many creatures singing, dancing, drawing, painting, sewing, arranging flowers, making movies, the group exclaimed and Gene looked, they were looking at a singer, "Oh, that's just Dr. Frank-N-Furter." Gene said, "What is he wearing?" General Seaspray asked, "He always dresses like that." Gene replied, "That looks like girl clothing." Spike said, "Anyway, let's go, I don't have all day." Gene said, and they followed him. Gene led the ambassadors around the country and they saw a bunch of people at a boxing ring, "That's the tournament area right there, you fight with everything you got, and you win money for each round you win." Gene said, "Hey, Sandbar, you wanna try, you against me?" Gallus asked, "No." Sandbar replied, screaming was heard and a human flew out of the ring and got buried into the ground while a tall humanoid creature wielding a big sword in one hand and a battleaxe in his other hand stood triumphantly, "And Nosferatu Zodd wins again." an announcer said, the creatures around the ring cheered, "Is he alright?" King Thorax asked, "Yeah, he'll be hospitalized soon." Gene replied, "So, what's next?" General Seaspray asked, "This way." Gene replied, and he led them. The group arrived at a training field and saw many different creatures training and fighting, "This is where recruits train to be soldiers, we're always looking for new people to join our army." Gene said, "Wow, so many different creatures." Spike said, "See that guy? That's Big Boss, he's the greatest soldier we've ever had in our kingdom." Gene said as he pointed to him, "He does look a bit rough around the edges." General Seaspray said, "He is, ever since he... lost his mentor, he's never been the same." Gene replied, "What happened?" Sunburst asked, "He doesn't want to talk about it." Gene replied, "Wait, Gene, quick question, where's the school?" Sandbar asked, Gene pointed and they looked and saw an all-boys school, there was a picture that had a blond haired man named Eikichi Onizuka that has been elected the teacher of the year, and the top student in the school was a person named Sakamoto, "Who is that guy there?" Spike asked as he pointed, Gene looked, "That's Black Jack, he's our kingdom's top surgeon." Gene replied, "Kingdom is pretty small." Prince Rutherford said, "It is, but Volvox has thought about expanding it a bit." Gene replied, "Speaking of rulers, we need to meet with them to establish relationships." Shining Armor said, "This way." Gene replied, and they followed him. Gene led the ambassadors into the palace and they saw suits of armor on the sides of the hall, "Volvox, we're here." Gene said as they walked, Volvox, Dommiel, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, and Tom faced them, "You all enjoyed your time here?" Volvox asked, "No, I was hoping it'd make me more bored." Gallus replied, "So, who are you guys?" Sandbar asked, "I am Emperor Volvox, supreme ruler of this kingdom." Volvox replied, "Dommiel, I'm Volvox's right-hand demon, I run things when he's not available." Dommiel said, "I am the Count of Saint Germain, time traveler, I am his adviser." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Name's Tom, I command the police and military, I'm also Volvox's public speaker." Tom said, "And this is Giovi, my bodyguard, he's not one for words." Volvox said, "What is he?" Sunburst asked, "A ghoul." Tom replied, "Are those knife blades on his hands?" Sandbar asked, "Yeah, he lost his claws many years ago." Dommiel replied, "Okay, so, um... Emperor Volvox, we're here to establish good relations, since this area you're in is ran by friendship." Shining Armor said, the five looked at the ambassadors with bafflement, "Seriously?" Dommiel asked, "Yes, our country's defenses will go down if we have a bad relationship with a country." Sunburst replied, "How about the rest of you?" Tom asked, "Nope, dragons usually don't do friends, but this one does." Spike replied, "I'm more powered by love than friendship." King Thorax said, "Do I look like I have friendship?" Grampa Gruff asked, "Well, we just opened borders recently, but it is nice to have an ally." General Seaspray said, "We're thinking about adapting friendship, we just reopened our homes to other creatures recently." the kirin said, "I think it's best if we do, Volvox, remember what happened when Ganishka attacked us." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Ganishka started a war with us to conquer the world, these guys aren't, but I do agree with you." Volvox replied, "Will you?" Spike asked, "Sure, we don't need another war." Volvox replied, "Great, we'll discuss trade and deals and we'll be going." Shining Armor said, "Here you go, Gene." Volvox said as he used telekinesis to give him money, "Thanks, aren't you going to introduce them to your assassins?" Gene asked, the ambassadors exclaimed with confusion, "Assassins?" Shining Armor asked, "Yeah, he has assassins to hunt down criminals who escape his kingdom." Gene replied, "We're required to meet them, too." King Thorax said, "Alright, come on here, guys." Volvox said, and the assassins came forward, they saw seven assassins, "Who are you guys?" King Thorax asked, "That one there is Plissken." Gene replied as he pointed to him, "Call me Snake." Plissken said, "Who is that tall guy with the hat there?" Spike asked, "Mr. X, he's not one for words, either." Dommiel replied, "That guy next to him?" Sunburst asked, "Birkin, he's also known as G, we call that form G3 because that's his third mutation." Tom replied, "Who is guy there with long silver stick there?" Prince Rutherford asked, they looked at the person, "Oh, that, what he's holding is a rocket launcher, that's Nemesis." Volvox replied, "His face is kind of scary looking." Spike said, "That next guy there is Pinhead, he's one of the more dangerous ones." Gene said, "I see you all desire friendship, you all can benefit from my assistance." Pinhead said, the ambassadors got an uneasy feeling from him, "Who's the next one there?" the kirin asked, "I am Candyman, I live as a legend among these people." the next assassin replied, "Why does he have a hook for his hand?" Spike asked, "He lost his real hand many years ago." Gene replied, "I bet he'll look much smaller when he takes off the coat." Grampa Gruff said, the natives of the kingdom groaned with uneasiness, "Trust us, you don't want to see what he looks like under the coat." Gene said, "Yeah, it's super gross." Tom said, "Anyway, that last assassin there is a guy I have history with." Gene said, "I have two names, my real name is Leilong, my name when I'm on the job is Shimi." the last assassin said, "Which name do you go by right now?" Spike asked, "My real name." Leilong replied, "Who's the top assassin among you seven?" Gallus asked, "I am." Leilong replied, "He's not the top assassin in the kingdom, though." Volvox said, "Who would that be?" Sandbar asked, "This way." Gene said, and they followed him, "See that tall guy there, short black hair and wearing the white suit?" Gene asked as he pointed to him, "Yeah, I see him." Sunburst said, "That's Duke Togo, also known as Golgo 13, he's the best assassin in the kingdom." Gene said, "Why isn't he here?" Sandbar asked, "Because he won't enter into long-term contracts, he'll usually only do one job per person." Volvox replied, "Well, I'll be taking my leave now." Gene said, "Alright, you did well, Gene, we'll be in touch if we have another job for you." Volvox said, "Say, Gene, do they hire you to do assassin work?" Gallus asked, "Nope, I am hired for bodyguard work sometimes, though." Gene replied, "Well, go on now, Gene, we need to discuss business and trade." Tom said, and he left while the ambassadors spoke, they left the kingdom and went back home hours later. Spike went back to the Castle of Friendship and met up with the Mane Six, "How'd it go, Spike?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Sorry to say this, but I'm going to have to act as an ambassador for the Dragon Lands instead since they didn't send any ambassadors." Spike replied, the six mares became speechless, "It's alright, Spike, I'm sure you'll do well." Twilight Sparkle said after a while, "So, what exactly were you able to come up with?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Well, I discussed giving them some gems as trade, and they give us some of their own gems." Spike replied, "That's it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "For now." Spike replied, and he talked about what was in the kingdom. Sandbar and Gallus were at the School of Friendship and were meeting with Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream, "They have fighting tournaments?" Smolder asked, "Yup." Gallus replied, "What was this about the rulers having assassins?" Ocellus asked, "They said it's so they can hunt down criminals who run away from the country." Sandbar replied, "What did they look like?" Silverstream asked, "Most of them actually looked pretty scary." Sandbar replied, "Did Sandbar and Gallus get souvenir?" Yona asked, "Sorry, but we had a tour guide who just showed us around, we couldn't get anything." Gallus replied, "So, how is the place?" Ocellus asked, "Looks pretty normal to me." Sandbar replied, "Yeah, they have entertainers, police, military, ways to make money, nothing special, really." Gallus said, "Nothing caught your interests?" Ocellus asked, "No, not really." Sandbar replied, "Well, some of the people in there do look pretty weird." Gallus said, "How?" Silverstream asked, "Well, there was one guy in there wearing girl's clothing." Gallus replied, Ocellus', Smolder's, Yona's, and Silverstream's eyes' widened, "Really?" Smolder asked, Sandbar and Gallus nodded, "Can you all elaborate on everything you all saw?" Ocellus asked, and the two talked about the place. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were in a tree and looking at the kingdom, "What do y'all two think?" Apple Bloom asked, "Looks pretty normal to me." Scootaloo replied, "Yeah, I see nothing unique about the kingdom." Sweetie Belle said, "Ah think Ah see a farm." Apple Bloom said, they looked and saw several creatures plowing the field with animals, "I still wanna enter the place." Sweetie Belle said, "Me too, it looks fun." Scootaloo replied, "Ah'm sure they'll come around later, let's just watch for now." Apple Bloom said, and they continued observing the kingdom from the tree. Shining Armor and Sunburst were with Princess Cadence and discussed things with her, "You considered trading crystals with them?" Princess Cadence asked, "Yeah, the ruler said the carvers can use them to make new art." Shining Armor replied, "Really? That's wonderful, I do think their kingdom can use some decoration." Princess Cadence said, "Me too, we didn't see a library anywhere, though." Sunburst replied, "No historical documents?" Princess Cadence asked, "Well, if they have it, our tour guide didn't point it out to us." Shining Armor replied, "I see, well, you should go tell the Crystal Empire what the deal with them was." Princess Cadence said, and Shining Armor went to go tell the crystal ponies about their new relationship. Princess Ember was with Dragon Lord Torch and the other dragons, they complained to them about the deal, "Now, look, I know you all are upset we have to give them our gems, but they're not asking for much, just one gem from each deal is fine." Princess Ember said, the dragons still complained, "Ember, remember, the gems are our food." Dragon Lord Torch said, "I'm not the one who came up with this deal, it was Spike." Princess Ember replied, the dragons booed her, "Everydragon, relax, I'll have a talk with Spike later." Princess Ember said, and the dragons grumbled about it. The griffons in Griffonstone were complaining to Grampa Gruff about his deal in trade, "We have to give them our scones?!" Gilda asked, "It's all I can think of, unless you want to give them your money." Grampa Gruff replied, the griffons disagreed, "Anyway, that's the cheapest thing I can think of, there is no way I'm giving them our history books or sharing the customs of our culture, they are too sacred." Grampa Gruff said, "Okay, so what are they giving us in return?" Gilda asked, "Some of their own cuisine." Grampa Gruff replied, "I bet it'll be worthless compared to ours." Gilda said, the griffons nodded, "All we can do right now is wait, let's see what happens next." Grampa Gruff said, and the griffons nodded as they waited. Prince Rutherford met with the yaks in Yakyakistan and talked about the deal he made, "Yak must give new kingdom some of our fur?" a male yak asked, "Rutherford does not want share yak culture, so we give goods instead." Prince Rutherford replied, "Must yak trim fur?" another male yak asked, "No, we give fur from previous winter to kingdom." Prince Rutherford replied, "What kingdom give us?" the first yak asked, "Kingdom give us coats to keep us warmer in winter." Prince Rutherford replied, "Yak like deal." the second yak said, the other yaks smiled and Prince Rutherford went to go gather old fur. King Thorax discussed the deal with the changeling kingdom and the changelings murmured about it, "So, we're going to have to give them some of our carvings and potteries while they're going to give us their paintings." Pharynx said, "Yup, I think it sounds good." King Thorax replied, "Thorax, we need ways to defend ourselves." Pharynx said, "I know, but I think sharing culture would be better, we're not under Chrysalis' rule anymore." King Thorax replied, "So what? We can use some weapons and training." Pharynx said, "I don't know if they're willing to share those, Pharynx." King Thorax replied, "Why is there shaking in your voice? You scared?" Pharynx asked, "Well, um... there are some scary looking creatures in that place." King Thorax replied, "Anyway, I personally don't like the agreement, but I'm just going to have to go with it." Pharynx said, and they got on with their days. General Seaspray went to go see the hippogriffs and seaponies and talked about their deal, "So, let me get this straight, we will give them our pearls from under the water while they will give us their trumpets in exchange." Sky Beak said, "Yes, that was the deal we managed to work out." General Seaspray replied, "What was it like in there?" Terramar asked, "Nothing special, they have entertainers, tournaments, schools, doctors, and so on, but one thing that set it apart is the ruler has assassins." General Seaspray replied, "What? Why does he have those for?" Ocean Flow asked, "The ruler said it is so he can hunt down criminals who escape the kingdom." General Seaspray replied, "Do you think he was telling the truth?" Sky Beak asked, "He sounded honest when he said it." General Seaspray replied, "I'm still not comfortable with him having assassins." Ocean Flow said, "Neither am I, but it's the best we can do for now, I'll try to renegotiate if the deal ends up unsatisfactory." General Seaspray replied, and the hippogriffs and seaponies got on with their days. The male kirin was in Kirin Grove and talked to Rain Shine, "Alright, so let me get this straight, they will give us their books and plays for us to read while we give them some of our plants and flowers." Rain Shine said, "Yes." the male kirin replied, "That doesn't sound too bad to me." Autumn Blaze said, "I agree, I think it's a pretty fair trade off." Rain Shine replied, "The kingdom had some pretty scary looking people in it." the male kirin said, "I figured, I saw the tour guide." Rain Shine replied, "I know, right, he's all covered in scars, wearing black clothes, and has a knife, no tour guide around this world looks like that." Autumn Blaze said, "Well, he did say he does more jobs than just tour guide." the male kirin replied, "Like what?" Autumn Blaze asked, "He said he also does bodyguard work." the male kirin replied, "Well, you did good, I think we're going to have a good relationship." Rain Shine said, and the male kirin headed home. Two days passed and there were no problems so far, the countries did trade while the females watched them, Sunset Shimmer arrived yesterday after Twilight Sparkle gave her a message about the new place. Volvox was looking for his sister's kingdom around the world while the Count of Saint Germain went into the future to see when it would be found again, a portal opened and he returned, "Well?" Volvox asked, "Two weeks from now, we'll find her to the northeast with some help from two of the flying horses from that country there, and tomorrow, criminals will break out and escape the kingdom, we're going to have to send our assassins and they will succeed in stopping them, but ten criminals will escape to the other countries, so we will have to hire Duke, and starting right around now, the foreigners will contact you." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Excuse us, Emperor Volvox." Spike said from outside, he walked out of his palace and made himself bigger with his powers, he saw the ambassadors standing at his kingdom's doorway, "We need ambassadors from your kingdom in our countries as well." Shining Armor said, "Alright, give me a minute, I'll get the seven ambassadors ready." Volvox said, "Actually, the Crystal Empire is separate from Equestria, so you'll need two ambassadors for the ponies." Sunburst said, "I request two ambassadors as well, one for the hippogriffs and one for the seaponies." General Seaspray said, "Alright, hold on, I'll choose the ambassadors shortly." Volvox replied, and he looked at the countries to see what they were like, "Excuse me a minute." Volvox said, and he shrunk himself to be smaller, "Tom, can you get Nosferatu Zodd and Grunbeld here?" Volvox asked, Tom nodded and left, he came back with the two, "How would you two like to travel the world around here?" Volvox asked, "I have no interest in politics, I live only for battle." Nosferatu Zodd replied, "As do I, diplomacy is not for me." Grunbeld said, "Actually, I was wondering if you two would've liked to travel the countries to look for strong opponents." Volvox said, "No, these creatures look weak." Nosferatu Zodd replied, "Indeed, one hit from my hammer will likely smash them." Grunbeld said, "Well, it was worth a try, I thought you two would at least be interested in seeing the dragons." Volvox said, "Only that big dragon there looks like a worthy opponent." Grunbeld replied, "I agree, those dragon scales don't look like they'd stand a chance against my sword and axe." Nosferatu Zodd said, "Alright then, go on, I'll find other ambassadors." Volvox said, "We'll be fighting in the tournament if you need us." Grunbeld said, and the two left. Volvox discussed with others to act as ambassadors and went outside, "Okay, everyone, here are your ambassadors." Volvox said, and they walked out, "Alright, this way, guys." King Thorax said, and they led them to their countries, "Hey, Volvox, alright if I go, too?" Gene asked, "For what?" Volvox asked, "Look for a job." Gene replied, "Oh, sure, go on." Volvox said, and Gene left the kingdom and went to Griffonstone, "What's next?" Volvox asked, "That's all for now." Dommiel replied, and Volvox sighed while he looked for his sister's kingdom. The creatures looked at the ambassadors that Volvox sent for their countries, Equestria's ambassador was a vampire, the Crystal Empire's ambassador was a golem, the Dragon Land's ambassador was a mutant, Griffonstone's ambassador was a centaur, Yakyakistan's ambassador was a troll, the changeling kingdom's ambassador was an incubus, Mount Aris' ambassador was a fairy, Seaquestria's ambassador was a merman, and Kirin Grove's ambassador was an elf, Volvox watched them and saw they were all getting along overall, but the female changelings were a little uncomfortable around the incubus, "Alright, that should do for now." Volvox said, and he shrunk himself, "Assassins, get in here." Volvox said, and Plissken, Mr. X, Birkin, Nemesis, Pinhead, Candyman, and Leilong walked to him, "The Count of Saint Germain said some criminals are going to break out tomorrow and escape the kingdom, you all will need to hunt them down." Volvox said, "What criminals?" Plissken asked, "The ones locked in the dungeon, I saw them escaping in the future." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "They're still there now, aren't they? Why don't we kill them now?" Leilong asked, Volvox, Dommiel, and the Count of Saint Germain became speechless, "Alright, let's go ahead and round them up, and be careful, one of them is an apostle." the Count of Saint Germain replied, and they went with him. The prisoners in the dungeon were busy working to dig a hole and escape, they were being led by an apostle named Wyald, "Get digging, we'll be able to enjoy ourselves when we leave." Wyald said, and the men kept digging quickly and frantically, Wyald became bored and killed a few of the prisoners by smashing their heads with his hands, the remaining prisoners began digging faster out of fear for their lives. The dungeon's entrance opened and running was heard while Mr. X's footsteps echoed throughout the prison, the Count of Saint Germain ran to them, "There they are right there." the Count of Saint Germain said, and hooks and chains came up and cut the prisoners apart, a prisoner screamed as he got cut in his back and Candyman was behind him, Plissken ran to them and began shooting at them with a rifle while Birkin swung his arms around and slashed whoever was near him, "Hurry! Dig!" Wyald said, and they did. Rocket thrusters were heard and Leilong flew forward while holding a sword, he slashed the prisoners who tried to fight back, Wyald pulled a chunk of the wall out and threw it at Leilong, he activated a light shield with a device on his left wrist and blocked it. A tentacle went forward and stabbed several prisoners and they screamed, Wyald looked and saw Nemesis running around and he punched whichever prisoner was nearby, he also hit several prisoners with his rocket launcher, Wyald quickly dug out the wall and headed outside, several prisoners were heard screaming and the others looked back and saw Mr. X punching whoever tried to escape, the assassins killed whoever tried to escape and then headed outside. The kingdom was peaceful for today until the ground burst open and people ran back, Wyald broke out and so did several other prisoners, the people ran away from Wyald while he begun chasing after people he could kill, the angels and demons tried to fight him but he killed them easily, the centaurs also tried to fight him but Wyald threw them around. Dommiel made his own shadow bigger and tried to smash Wyald, he held him back and Volvox shot orange hellfire blasts out of his front feet at Wyald, he grunted from it and began running around, he attacked whoever was in his way and put holes in the walls around the kingdom. The other creatures looked on and saw the kingdom's walls get destroyed and the natives thrown out, they saw Wyald causing trouble, Pinhead makes chains and hooks come out of the ground and restrain Wyald, "You seek the deepest of experiences, submit to me, Wyald, and I shall give you what you desire, like your fellow prisoners here." Pinhead said and he showed the prisoners he has changed into cenobites, the other creatures in the other countries screamed in horror at how they looked, Wyald growled and punched the cenobites away. Bees appeared around Wyald and they begun to sting him, he saw Candyman to his left and he took off his coat and revealed his body and the bees inside of him, the creatures of the other countries gagged and turned away while Fluttershy looked at him with shock. Candyman cut Wyald's back with his hook but Wyald grabbed his head and began to squeeze it, "It's you, you're the reason why I got locked up in jail." Wyald said, and he tried to smash Candyman's head, but he disappeared and more bees appeared and stung Wyald. Plissken shot at him with his gun and Wyald shrugged off the bullets, Mr. X walked to him and tried to punch him, Wyald grabbed his fist and threw him over himself, Mr. X laid on the ground to recover, Birkin jumped to him and tried to slash him with his four arms, Wyald punched the eyeball in his right upper arm and Birkin screeched in pain, Leilong shot several bullets at him with his gun and Wyald lunged towards him, Leilong used his rocket thrusters to fly back, "You always were a big dumb monkey, Wyald." Leilong said, Wyald looked around and mines beeped, they exploded and Wyald screamed, he fell but soon got back up, he roared but a missile soon hit him and he screamed, everycreature looked and saw Nemesis holding a rocket launcher. The assassins looked on to make sure Wyald was dead, but he stood back up and tried one final lunge at Leilong, he held out a whip-like weapon and it detached itself from the handle while Leilong flew to the side and went behind him, Wyald got tied up with the weapon and it exploded, he screamed from the explosion, "That does it!" Wyald said, he stood up and transformed into an ape-like creature, the citizens screamed, "Apostle!" a human said as they ran away. Wyald pulled a tree out of its roots and swung it around, people who got hit by it were flung away. Plissken tried shooting him with his gun and Wyald blocked it with the tree, more chains and hooks came out of the ground and they stabbed into Wyald's arms, he grunted as he tried to move them and Mr. X punched the tree and broke it, "Hey, ugly!" Gene said from Griffonstone, Wyald looked back and Gene took off his coat and shot missiles at him, Wyald growled and picked up a house and threw it at him, Gene ran and dodged it, he then took out a rocket launcher and shot it at Wyald, the smoke cleared and Wyald was still unharmed, he laughed at him, "Oh, yeah, laugh at this." Gene said as he took out his caster gun and fired a shell at him, it hit him and exploded while Wyald screamed. Gene looked and saw Wyald on his knees, Volvox got ready to kill him but Wyald quickly recovered and hit people away with his large hands, his assassins were flung away and Wyald laughed as he began causing destruction around the kingdom, he stopped when he saw Nosferatu Zodd and Grunbeld in front of him, "Come on, my friends, let us enjoy and excite ourselves." Wyald said, the two raised their weapons, "Wha... What are you two doing?" Wyald asked, "Following the orders of our angels, do as thou wilt." Nosferatu Zodd replied, "Yes, we have both decided long ago that you shall die if you were to ever break out." Grunbeld said, "What? You two would attack a fellow apostle?" Wyald asked, the two attacked him and Wyald quickly flung his arms around to fight back, but he screamed as Nosferatu Zodd cut his legs with his sword and battleaxe while Grunbeld smashed his feet with his war hammer, he also shot fire out of his shield at him, he roared but stopped when Candyman stabbed him in the back of his neck with his hook, "Be my victim." Candyman said, and he let Wyald fall, he quivered with fear while Grunbeld walked forward and lifted his hammer, he screamed and Grunbeld smashed his head. Volvox used his hellfire powers to burn Wyald's body while he changed to a frail old man, he saw the other countries looking at him with horror, "Volvox!" Dommiel said as he ran to him, Volvox faced him, "Some of the criminals went to the other countries while we were busy dealing with Wyald." Dommiel said, Volvox looked at his seven assassins and there were on their knees', "You guys alright?" Volvox asked, "I'm out of breath." Leilong replied, "Me too." Plissken said, he saw Mr. X, Birkin, and Nemesis resting, "You want to hunt them down, Pinhead?" Volvox asked, "Even though I serve as an assassin, killing is not my specialty, it is making them have experiences." Pinhead replied, "What about you, Candyman?" Volvox asked, "I have blood to shed elsewhere." Candyman replied, "Very well, I need a list of the escaped criminals." Volvox said, and the police began working to find info on the escaped criminals, he got a list of ten criminals that escaped, "Thank you. Duke Togo, I have a job for you." Volvox said, and Golgo 13 walked to him, "These ten criminals have escaped, we have tried both, jail time and rehab, and neither one worked, I would like for you to track down these criminals and kill them before they cause any trouble in the other countries." Volvox said, "I'll take the job." Golgo 13 said, and he walked away while everybody got on with their days. Spike was at the Castle of Friendship and knocking was heard, "Spike, we need to talk." Princess Ember said, and Spike opened the door, "Hi, Princess Ember, what is it?" Spike asked, "That deal or trade you came up with has left the dragons in the Dragon Lands very unhappy." Princess Ember replied, "It was the best thing I could come up with, though." Spike said, "Give them our gems? We're giving them our food, Spike." Princess Ember replied, "Well, what else could I give them?" Spike asked, "Rocks created from our volcanoes, that could've been better." Princess Ember replied, "Alright, but what do you dragons think about them giving you guys armor?" Spike asked, "It's alright, we just need to stop giving them our food so the dragons don't go hungry." Princess Ember replied, "Alright, but what do I tell them?" Spike asked, "*sigh* Just tell them we'll have a famine eventually if we continue giving them gems." Princess Ember replied, "Okay, I don't know if they'll buy it, though." Spike said, "Well, there are several creatures at his kingdom right now, so now might be a good time to go." Princess Ember replied, and Spike flew to the kingdom. Volvox was looking outside his kingdom since Shining Armor, Sunburst, and King Thorax were there, "You send your people to kill criminals who escape your country?" Shining Armor asked, "What's wrong with that?" Volvox asked, "Everything! Don't you forgive and befriend your enemies?" Sunburst asked, "Guys, trust me, that primitive ape is the last guy you'd want to befriend." Volvox replied, "Have you ever thought about forgiving them at least?" King Thorax asked, "That depends on what they say to the counselors and their own behavior." Volvox replied, "Wait, you offer counseling?" Sunburst asked, "Yes, I have rehab, too." Volvox replied, "Then why don't you try to forgive those criminals who escaped from your country?" Shining Armor asked, "Already did, didn't work, they have no regrets, either." Volvox replied, "How do you know that?" Shining Armor asked, "Sometimes, you can tell by what they say and how they act." Volvox replied, "Well, you should at least change your ways a bit, Emperor Volvox, no country here does execution." King Thorax said, "Are you three here by your own accord or are the females using you to speak to me?" Volvox asked, "Well... it's kind of both." Shining Armor replied, "Yeah, all of us agreed that we needed to address your ways with dealing with criminals." Sunburst said, "Is that all?" Volvox asked, "Well, for now." King Thorax replied, "Alright, I'll see what I can do." Volvox said, and Shining Armor, Sunburst, and King Thorax headed home, "What do you have to say?" Volvox asked, "Um, the dragons want to change the trade a little." Spike replied, "With what?" Volvox asked, "They want to give the rocks formed by the volcanoes instead, since those gems are our food and we'll go hungry after a while." Spike replied, "Well, I did say one gem per deal." Volvox said, "Right, and we're going to starve eventually if it keeps up." Spike replied, Volvox looked at the Dragon Lands and saw hungry baby dragons, "Do those babies have any food?" Volvox asked, Spike flew up and saw the crying baby dragons, "No." Spike said, "Okay, change, it is." Volvox replied, Spike smiled and flew to the Dragon Lands and told the dragons, they cheered while Princess Ember smiled and Spike flew back to Ponyville. Gene walked around Griffonstone and looked for a job, "Hey, you guys hiring?" Gene asked, "What do you think?" a griffon asked, Gene looked and saw no one working, so he left, "Man, how can anyone get a job in this dump?" Gene asked, he saw another griffon and walked to him, "Hey, excuse me." Gene said, the griffon looked at him, "Can you show me a place that's hiring?" Gene asked, "You got the money?" the griffon asked, "Yeah, I got some money, now show me around." Gene replied, and the griffon led him to the exit, "Huh? Hey, what gives?" Gene asked, "There are no places here hiring, now take your stuff and get lost." the griffon said, "Alright, I'm going." Gene replied, "Wait, where is my money?" the griffon asked, "Relax, I'll pay you when I make it big." Gene replied, "Well, you better." the griffon said, and Gene headed to another country. Four days passed and the golems were working on rebuilding the walls around the kingdom while Volvox helped them, swords clanging were heard and everybody looked and saw Guts and Cloud fighting one another, Cloud's Buster Sword and Guts' Dragonslayer clanging against one another made really loud noises, the others looked and became shocked at seeing the Dragonslayer, "What an enormous sword." Rarity said, "I know, right, how does he swing that?" Rainbow Dash asked, the two entered a deadlock and Guts shot Cloud with his arm cannon and Cloud screamed as he got blown away, "And Guts wins again!" the announcer said while the people around the arena cheered, "His name is Guts?!" Rarity asked, "Who in tarnation names their child Guts?" Applejack asked, "Who knows, but that's sure one name I don't want." Twilight Sparkle replied, and Guts' next opponent entered the ring, it was a mutant, "Wait, are those blades coming out of its arms?" Rainbow Dash asked, "It looks like it, maybe it's hardened and sharpened bone." Sunset Shimmer said, and the mutant tried to slash Guts but Guts cut his head off with his sword, "Wow! Guts beheaded him in one move." the announcer said, the people around the ring cheered and Guts' next opponent entered the ring, it was Nosferatu Zodd, "Black Swordsman! I have waited for you." Nosferatu Zodd said, "Let's settle this once and for all, Zodd." Guts said, and Nosferatu Zodd lifted his sword and battleaxe. Guts swung the Dragonslayer around and Nosferatu Zodd blocked each attack, he swung his sword and battleaxe and each move pushed Guts back, "What is this?! Nosferatu Zodd is pushing Guts back!" the announcer said, and Guts was barely withstanding Nosferatu Zodd's attacks, "Whoa! That guy is probably even stronger than the yaks." Applejack said, "Still, I'm getting a strange sense from him, almost like... he's a monster like the guy who changed into the ape." Twilight Sparkle replied, "What was that guy called again? An apostle?" Rainbow Dash asked, "That sounds right." Fluttershy replied, "Hey, look, there's something on the back of Guts' neck." Silverstream said as she pointed at it, "Is that... a brand? What is that?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Ooh, I know, maybe he's food for somecreature and they want to eat him." Pinkie Pie said, Nosferatu Zodd continued swinging his weapons and Guts was on his knees, "For those of you unfamiliar, there is history between these two, they have engaged in combat several times." the announcer said, Guts watched Nosferatu Zodd and stepped forward while he lifted up his two weapons and slashed his abdomen, "*chuckle* Splendid, Black Swordsman." Nosferatu Zodd said, and he swung his sword and battleaxe at blinding speeds while Guts tried to repel them, but his attacks made Guts' sword fly to the side and push him back, Nosferatu Zodd got ready to swing his two weapons down, but Guts quickly slashed his sternum and he grunted from the pain, he swung his weapons from the side and Guts did a horizontal slash and broke Nosferatu Zodd's sword and battleaxe, "You're child's play now, Zodd." Guts said, Nosferatu Zodd laughed, "You know full well I've been holding back, Black Swordsman, time for me to use my full power!" Nosferatu Zodd said, and he transformed into a bipedal goat-like monster with two horns and wings, "Look at that, everybody, Nosferatu Zodd has changed into his apostle form." the announcer said, "Wow, he's kinda big." Apple Bloom said, "Yeah, it's scary." Sweetie Belle said, Nosferatu Zodd slamed his hands down and destroyed the ground, "Whoa! He smashed the entire ring!" Scootaloo said, "Yona scared." Yona said, "Yeah, me too." Smolder said, "Say, Ocellus, can you change into something like that?" Gallus asked, "I can try." Ocellus replied, Nosferatu Zodd swung his arms around and destroyed whatever he hit, Guts got ready to slash him but he stunned him with his roar, he flew to him with his wings and tried to stab Guts with his horns, he slashed Nosferatu Zodd with his sword and he screeched when Guts cut his face, he stopped flying and Guts got ready to attack him from behind, but Nosferatu Zodd hit him away with his tail, Guts grunted as he fell, he grabbed his sword as he got back up, he saw Nosferatu Zodd flying to him, he got ready to ram him but Guts cut his head with his sword and Nosferatu Zodd roared when he got hit, he stopped flying and fell to his knees while Guts panted, "Unbelievable! Guts has won!" the announcer said, the people cheered, "Splendid, Black Swordsman, I will be looking forward to our next battle." Nosferatu Zodd said, and he changed back to his human form and walked away, "Well, Guts, would you like to stop now and collect your money, or do you wish to keep fighting?" the announcer asked, "Bring out your next opponent." Guts said, "Fighting, it is." the announcer said, and a war hammer came down, Guts looked forward and became frozen in place when he saw his next opponent was Grunbeld, "We meet again, Black Swordsman, but rest first, I want to fight you at your full strength." Grunbeld said, and Guts rested, "Look at that, everybody, Grunbeld wants a fair and square fight, that's something you don't see in an apostle every day." the announcer said, "So, he's one, too." Sandbar said, "I wonder what he transforms into." Spike said, they watched and Guts recovered, "Are you ready, Guts?" the announcer asked, "Start the battle." Guts said, "Alright. Begin!" the announcer said, and Guts ran forward while Grunbeld swung his hammer down, Guts blocked it with his sword, but it knocked him back, almost made him fall, and left a big crater in the ground, the creatures watching looked on in shock, "He's even stronger?!" Scootaloo asked, "How is he supposed to win against that?!" Rainbow Dash asked, they looked and saw Guts panting while his arms were numb and he could not lift them, "You haven't improved, Black Swordsman." Grunbeld said, and he aimed his shield at him and shot fire out of it, Guts rolled and was on the ground while panting heavily, "What is this? Guts is exhausted from taking only one hit from Grunbeld, that's the strength of an apostle for you, boys." the announcer said, Grunbeld walked to him and Guts looked up, "I'm disappointed, Black Swordsman." Grunbeld said, and he got ready to hit him with his hammer. Guts activated his armor and transformed. Grunbeld was knocked back and Guts roared, "Look at that, gentlemen, Guts has activated his Berserker Armor." the announcer said, "Berserker Armor?" Applejack asked, "That doesn't sound good." Twilight Sparkle said, Guts began attacking Grunbeld relentlessly and he tried blocking with his shield, Guts destroyed it with his attacks, he made two sword blades come out of his partially intact shield but Guts hit his shield a few more times and destroyed it. Grunbeld blocked Guts' attacks with his hammer but each hit from Guts' Dragonslayer bent his hammer's handle, he destroyed it and Guts began attacking Grunbeld's armor, he grunted as Guts knocked him back, "Fine, you leave me no choice." Grunbeld said, and he transformed into his apostle form, the creatures from the other countries gasped, "He's a dragon?!" Spike asked, Grunbeld breathed fire out of his mouth, Guts was unharmed and he attacked Grunbeld's body and cracked his scales, "Wow, his scales must be tough to endure those." Starlight Glimmer said, "I must say, I do feel the urge to pick them off of him, they look very valuable." Rarity said, and Guts continued attacking Grunbeld until he changed back and fell to his knees. Guts changed back while Grunbeld panted, "And Guts wins again!" the announcer said, the crowd cheered, "Well? Who's next?" Guts asked, the other competitors ran away, "Well, look at that, Guts is the winner." the announcer said, the people clapped and cheered while Guts will given a sack full of money, he took it and walked elsewhere, "Well, it's over." Gallus said, "That was kind of scary." Ocellus said, "Come on, everycreature, let's get on with our days." Twilight Sparkle said, and they went back to Ponyville. Gene was in Ponyville and looking for work, others looked at him while he looked for places that were hiring, "What are you doing here, Gene?" Spike asked, "Just looking for work." Gene replied, "Wait, did Volvox send you away?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No, I left on my own accord." Gene replied, "Oh." Twilight Sparkle said, "You can work for me, Ah can always use extra hands on mah farm." Applejack said, "Yeah, alright." Gene replied, "No, Gene, wait a minute, you can't go around looking like that, let's get you a more suitable outfit." Rarity said, and he followed her to her shop. Rarity measured Gene's measurements and began sewing an outfit for him, "Gene, darling, I must say, your red hair is quite an attractive color, but you should cut it a bit short." Rarity said, "I'll think about it." Gene replied, and Rarity made him a bright yellow suit and black shoes, "Here you go, darling, now you're ready to get a job." Rarity said and she put it in a bag and gave it to him, "Okay, thanks." Gene said, "Nuh-uh-uh, my payment." Rarity said, "Oh, um, can it wait?" Gene asked, "No, I demand payment now, Gene." Rarity replied, "Don't worry, I'll pay you when I make it big." Gene said, "No, you most definitely will not, you're paying now." Rarity replied, "Wait, what?" Gene asked, "I have heard that excuse a million times, you are not going to skip out on your payment." Rarity replied, "Fine, do you accept wongs?" Gene asked, "Wongs? I take bits." Rarity replied, "Well, I don't have bits." Gene said, and he showed her his money, "Hmm, I'll take it, maybe I can convert this into my currency." Rarity said, and she took it while Gene pumped his fist, "Well, that's all, good luck on getting a job now." Rarity said, and Gene headed out. Gene headed outside and saw Applejack at her farm, he sighed and went there, "Ya here to work?" Applejack asked, "Yeah." Gene replied, "Alright, Ah'll show ya around." Applejack said, and Gene started his new job. Golgo 13 was in Griffonstone and found three criminals that he was assigned to kill, they were a golem, a werewolf, and a demon, he watched their movements and analyzed them all day to see what they did for their days, the three met up in an abandoned house and Golgo 13 got into position, he aimed his customized M16, he fired the first shot and the bullet went through the wall of the house and he hit the golem in his head, the two looked at him and the werewolf got shot in his head, the demon looked and one last shot was fired and he was hit in the head. Golgo 13 stopped aiming while he watched his last target fall over, he walked to the train station while the griffons looked at him, the train came and he boarded it, he sat and waited for the train to head to its destination, the train arrived into Appleloosa and Golgo 13 got off and began tracking down his next target. Three days passed and nothing of interest happened, Volvox looked around to try to find his sister's kingdom but could not, "Um, excuse us, Volvox." a female voice said, he looked and saw Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, "Sorry we're here, but your usual ambassadors are unavailable right now, they're wondering why you've been looking around a bit for these past few days." Princess Celestia said, "I'm looking for my sister's kingdom." Volvox replied, "Is it okay if we help?" Princess Celestia asked, "Sure, I can use a helping hand." Volvox replied, "You're not going to deny us because of our gender?" Princess Luna asked, "Your gender is not of importance, you just can't enter the kingdom." Volvox replied, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna smiled, the two flew up and helped him look for his sister's kingdom. Volvox kept looking around while the two princesses flew up and helped him look for his sister's kingdom, he also watched and saw the griffons moving bodies, he noticed it was three of the criminals who escaped from his kingdom, they had bullet holes in their heads, he smiled at learning the fact that Golgo 13 was already hunting them down, he looked around more and did not see his sister's kingdom anywhere, "Angels, demons, I need you all to scout." Volvox said, and they flew up, Dommiel also flew up by making black shadow wings come out of his back, "You guys see my sister's kingdom?" Volvox asked, they shook their heads, "One more week, Volvox." the Count of Saint Germain said, "I just hope I can find it before that." Volvox replied, and he watched the kingdom to make sure everybody got along. Tom was with Plissken and having a conversation, "Why did you become an assassin for, Snake?" Tom asked, "Had nothing better to do." Plissken replied, "Even though you hate the government?" Tom asked, "Look, I don't care what your government says, I only care about getting paid." Plissken replied, "This isn't like you, Snake, you usually just act on your own accord regardless of pay or reason." Tom said, "I guess I just wanted a change in my life." Plissken replied, "You can always go back to the army." Tom said, "No way, I already lost my eye in the army, I've had enough of that life." Plissken replied, "Well, go on and do what you wish, Snake, I really don't have anything to discuss with you right now." Tom said, and Plissken left, he looked and saw Big Boss conducting a training routine while Black Jack stood by to do any surgery on those who got injured, every soldier got injured and only one finished the course, "*sigh* Only HUNK passed." Big Boss said, "Again? You might as well send him on all military operations." Black Jack said, "What is my next assignment?" HUNK asked, "Nothing, rest for now, HUNK." Big Boss replied, and he did while he spoke to the injured soldiers after Black Jack finished performing surgery on them. The day passed and it was night time, Dr. Frank-N-Furter did a show and sang, the creatures of the other countries screamed at seeing his outfit while Rarity fainted; Fluttershy heard Discord singing the same song behind her, she looked and exclaimed at seeing Discord wearing the same outfit as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, he also wore a wig that resembled his hair and the same makeup Dr. Frank-N-Furter wore on his face, "Discord!" Fluttershy said, "What's the matter? Don't you like my outfit?" Discord asked, "No! That outfit is ridiculous, even for you." Fluttershy replied, "Oh, come on now, why don't you try it on?" Discord asked, "No." Fluttershy replied, "Oh, alright, there's no changing your mind." Discord said, and he made the outfit, wig, and makeup disappear, "Thank you, Discord." Fluttershy said, and the night went on and everybody went to sleep. Golgo 13 remained in Appleloosa and was watching four criminals, they were a mutant, a vampire, a centaur, and an incubus, they were discussing on what crimes to commit for their own amusement, they were also sitting in the sand and drawing pictures. Golgo 13 went to his sniping position and aimed his M16, he shot his first bullet and hit in the incubus in the head, the other three looked and Golgo 13 shot the centaur in the head while they were distracted, they looked at him and the vampire got shot in the head next, the mutant looked at where the bullets were coming from and he got shot in his forehead. Golgo 13 stopped aiming his M16 while his last target fell over dead, he proceeded to walk out of the town and look for his next target. The next day came and everything was peaceful, Volvox's ambassadors had no trouble in the other countries, the single gender kingdom continued to remain peaceful, Volvox continued to look for his sister's kingdom with help from Dommiel, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna, Giovi and Tom visited the wounded soldiers from yesterday's training regime, and the Count of Saint Germain headed to the future to see what events they will have to prepare for next. Gene worked at Sweet Apple Acres and did manual work, he plowed the field and moved heavy objects, "Hey, Gene." Apple Bloom said as she trotted to him, he faced her, "Why don'tcha work with the animals for?" Apple Bloom asked, "Animals aren't really my specialty." Gene replied, "How long have been in that kingdom there?" Apple Bloom asked, "Six years." Gene replied, "How did ya get in?" Apple Bloom asked, "I traveled into outer space with my father, we got attacked by a ship, my dad put me in an escape pod, and it landed inside that kingdom." Gene replied, "Oh, what do you do when yer not on the job?" Apple Bloom asked, "I'm usually at the bar drinking or sleeping with a girl." Gene replied, "You have a girlfriend?" Apple Bloom asked with excitement, "No, it's a different girl each time." Gene replied, "Why don't you stay with one, then?" Apple Bloom asked, "Well, let's put it this way, there's this special attraction when you first see them, but overtime, that attraction goes away, and it's not as special anymore." Gene replied, "But why do you drink and sleep with them girls for?" Apple Bloom asked, "Um, it's kind of a coping mechanism over losing my father." Gene replied, "Oh, there are better ways to cope with loss, Gene." Apple Bloom said, "Hey, I'm not all that bad, at least I didn't choose to become an apostle." Gene replied, "You mean those guys who transformed into them giant creatures?" Apple Bloom asked, "Yeah." Gene replied, "You can actually change to one?" Apple Bloom asked, "Everybody has the potential to be turned into an apostle." Gene replied, "How?" Apple Bloom asked, "There is this necklace thing they use, I forgot what it was called, they use it to summon these five guys known as the God Hand, I've never met any of them, though, anyway, in a moment of despair, they are called upon the person feeling despair, and they sacrifice their loved ones to them in exchange to becoming an apostle." Gene replied, "That's horrible." Apple Bloom said, "It is, but when I look at them, I think I was lucky I didn't become an apostle, I felt great despair when my father died, I didn't have the necklace to summon them, though, and all of my other loved ones were already dead at that time, too." Gene replied, "Well, who knows, Gene, maybe our teachings of friendship can save 'em before they turn into apostles." Apple Bloom said, "Not just apostles, everybody has the potential to become a cenobite, too." Gene replied, "How does one become a cenobite?" Apple Bloom asked, "Be a hedonist, basically." Gene replied, "Oh, so have fun and party all the time." Apple Bloom said, "Yeah, that's one way to become a cenobite." Gene replied, "I saw what them cenobites looked like when y'all dealt with that monkey man, they don't look pretty." Apple Bloom said, "Almost all cenobites look like that." Gene replied, Apple Bloom's jaw dropped, "Well, I should work a bit more, I'm a little behind schedule right now." Gene said, and Apple Bloom walked away while Gene continued to work. Golgo 13 was in Ponyville and walked around while everybody looked at him, he heard screaming above him and saw a fairy flying around and stealing things from the Pegasi in Cloudsdale, he recognized it was one of his targets, he watched him and walked slowly to follow him, he flew into a house and began looking at his possessions. Golgo 13 went onto the roof of somepony's house and watched the fairy, he aimed his M16 at the cloud house he was in and the fairy heard the gun cock, he quickly flew out and went behind a building. Golgo 13 continued aiming his gun and waited a little, the fairy began to fly to his left as fast as he could, Golgo 13 quickly adjusted where he was aiming at and shot a bullet, it pierced through the clouds in the sky and left holes in them, the bullet traveled through the air and the others watched and saw the fairy continuing to fly in the direction he was going, the bullet pierced through the last cloud and hit the fairy in the head and he fell. The ponies in Ponyville gasped at seeing that Golgo 13 hit his target, he got off the roof and walked out of town to look for his next target, "What do you guys think of him?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Honestly, he kinda scares me." Applejack replied, "I get a bit scared seeing him, too." Twilight Sparkle said, "Hey, he's already leaving." Rainbow Dash said, and Golgo 13 boarded the train and left. Twilight Sparkle flew up and saw four dead bodies on Appleloosa, she became speechless that Golgo 13 was already killing them since there was no news about it, she looked at Canterlot and saw the ambassador from Volvox's kingdom was meeting with the royal guards, she flew back down and met with her friends, "It doesn't seem the ambassadors are hiding the assassinations." Twilight Sparkle said, "You think maybe they don't know yet?" Rarity asked, "That's possible, I mean, there are four deceased people there in Appleloosa, and they're not making a deal about it." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, it is foreign business, Twilight, that kingdom over there will have to handle it." Rarity said, "I know, but still." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she flew up and watched Volvox's kingdom. Two days passed and everything was still peaceful, Golgo 13 was in the Dragon Lands, he watched his target through the scope of his M16, it was an orc, and he was on the mountain Canterlot was built on, he watched closely and the orc took out a bow and arrow and aimed it at Princess Celestia while she walked around comfortably, the orc got ready to fire and Golgo 13 shot a bullet, it traveled through the air quickly and headed to the orc, it hit him in the back of his head and he grunted. Princess Celestia and the other ponies in Canterlot looked and saw the dead orc fall off of the mountain, they then heard cheering and looked, the ponies of Canterlot gasped while Princess Celestia exclaimed with shock at seeing Golgo 13 in the Dragon Lands, he stopped aiming his M16 while the dragons continued to cheer, he walked out of the country and to the train while Princess Celestia stood there speechless and mouth wide open at how far Golgo 13 was able to hit his targets, he waited for the train to come and he boarded it when it arrived. Volvox continued looking for his sister's kingdom and he stopped for a moment when he heard loud clashing at the tournament ring, he looked and saw the opponents were Nemesis and Grunbeld, Plissken, Mr. X, Birkin, Pinhead, Candyman, Leilong, Guts, Nosferatu Zodd, Big Boss, and HUNK were among the many people in the crowd. Nemesis fired his rocket launcher and Grunbeld blocked it with his shield, while Grunbeld did block the missile, it still cracked his shield a little. Grunbeld lifted his hammer and tried to hit Nemesis, he got hit but it did not knock him down, Nemesis tried to shoot a tentacle out of his right hand and into Grunbeld's face, he made the two sword blades come out of his shield to sever the tentacle, he then made the blades retract and shot fire out of his shield at Nemesis and set him on fire, it did nothing to him and Nemesis shot another rocket at him, it hit Grunbeld's armor and he grunted as he got pushed back a little, he loaded the next rocket into his rocket launcher while Grunbeld got back onto his feet, he got ready to hit Nemesis with his hammer and Nemesis quickly hit him with his rocket launcher, it only put a crack in his armor, the hammer came down and hit Nemesis, he grunted as he fell over, "Impressive, next opponent." Grunbeld said, and the tournament continued while Volvox went back to looking for his sister's kingdom, he looked around the world and saw a dead orc in Canterlot, he realized Golgo 13 was almost done with his job, he went back to looking for his sister's kingdom and still saw her nowhere, he sighed and decided to take a break and watch the tournament, he saw a taxi was now in the crowd and noticed Travis was now watching the tournament as well, he, along with Dommiel, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, and Tom went to go watch the tournament and enjoyed what they were seeing. The next day came and Golgo 13 saw his last target was in Yakyakistan, it was a troll, he looked for the troll ambassador and noticed the two looked completely different, he watched his target's move and aimed his M16, he could not get a good view due to all the mountains being in the way, so he boarded the train and got off at Mt. Aris, he walked to the top of the mountain and the hippogriffs watched him, he stood on the top of Mt. Aris and aimed his M16, he saw his target was already stealing things from the yaks, the troll counted the money he stolen and Golgo 13 shot a bullet at his last target while he was distracted. The bullet flew through the air and pierced through the clouds, the bullet travled through the countries and cities across Equestria as it made its way to its target, the bullet flew past Appleloosa, the Everfree Forest, Ponyville, Cloudsdale, Canterlot, and to the west of the Crystal Empire, the bullet made its way into Yakyakistan and hit the troll in his head. The troll fell from the mountain and the yaks gasped, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence saw the troll fall and Princess Cadence flew up to see where the bullet came from, so did the Pegasi in Cloudsdale, the ohters looked back and gasped while Pinkie Pie screamed with shock, they all saw Golgo 13 in Mt. Aris with his gun, he began to walk away while everycreature looked at him shocked and speechless at how far he was able to hit his targets from, he walked to his home kingdom and Dommiel flew over to pick him up. Dommiel flew to Volvox and he gave Golgo 13 three million dollars, "Good work, Duke, I think you managed to stop our relationships from souring." Volvox said, and Golgo 13 walked away, "You do know we can't call for his services ever again, right?" Dommiel asked, "I'll think of something." Volvox replied, and Golgo 13 walked to the taxi and Travis drove him home, "Destination." Travis said, "I'll tell you where to drop me off." Golgo 13 replied, "I can drive you to your house if you want to." Travis said, "No, it's fine, I'll walk the last parts on my own." Golgo 13 replied, and Travis drove the taxi while playing jazz music in the car, Golgo 13 gave him the directions and he stopped at where Golgo 13 told him to, Golgo 13 paid him and got off and walked home while Travis drove away. Three days passed and Princess Celestia and Princess Luna continued helping Volvox look for his sister, "Excuse us, Emperor Volvox." Sunburst said, Volvox looked down and saw him and Spike, "We'd like for the apostles to come with us." Spike said, "For what?" Volvox asked, "It's my best friend, she's a counselor, she wants to speak with the apostles." Sunburst replied, "Might as well, Grunbeld." Nosferatu Zodd said, "I agree, let's get this over with." Grunbeld replied, and the two walked to them, "You should go, too, Guts." Volvox said, and he went with them, the three arrived at the two and Sunburst teleported them to the School of Friendship and they entered. Gene was sitting in Starlight Glimmer's office while the Mane Six stood by, the door opened and Spike and Sunburst entered with Nosferatu Zodd, Grunbeld, and Guts, "You're an apostle, too?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "No, I used to hunt them, I was told to come along." Guts replied, "Alright, sit, all of you." Starlight Glimmer said, and they did, "Gene here told one of the foals about apostles, and she told others about it, so we know how one becomes one, I would like to know what brought you two to feel such despair to become apostles." Starlight Glimmer said, "I... was betrayed and spared my loved ones from a cruel fate." Grunbeld replied, "What about you, Zodd?" Starlight Glimmer asked, Nosferatu Zodd continued looking back, "It's been so long, I don't remember." Nosferatu Zodd said, "Are you really that old, Zodd?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "I may not look like it, but I've been an apostle for three hundred years." Nosferatu Zodd replied, "Wait, three hundred years?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Apostles are immortal once when someone becomes one." Guts said, "Also, Gene mentioned something about needing some kind of necklace to turn into one." Starlight Glimmer said, "A behelit." Guts said, "Oh, that's what they were called." Gene said, "Don't you have one?" Nosferatu Zodd asked, "It's in my satchel." Guts replied, "I would like to see it." Starlight Glimmer said, "Puck." Guts said, Puck peeked out of the satchel, "Yeah." Puck said, "Show her the behelit." Guts said, and Puck flew out while holding the behelit, Starlight Glimmer used her telekinesis to move it toward herself and she and her friends looked at it, "What in tarnation?" Applejack asked, "I'm with you, Applejack, I've never seen or heard of anything like this." Twilight Sparkle said, "Um... can you explain why the facial features are misaligned?" Fluttershy asked, "All behelits are like that, when activated, the facial features will align themselves." Guts replied, "How does one activate it?" Spike asked, "Someone's blood has to touch it." Grunbeld replied, the Mane Six, Spike, and Sunburst looked on with discomfort, "Where did you get this, Guts?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "When I was going on my quest of revenge to kill all apostles, one of them had this with him, so I took it." Guts replied, "I see, but tell me, haven't you guys ever thought about trying to befriend someone thinking about becoming an apostle?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "I tried to stop my best friend from becoming one, but he decided his dream was more important, so me and his other friends were sacrificed and he became an apostle, I managed to escape death with help from someone." Guts replied, "I still think I would've became an apostle if I had a behelit and somebody else I loved besides my father after his death." Gene said, "Well, if you guys would like to, Spike and Sunburst can spread our teachings of friendship to your kingdom." Starlight Glimmer replied, "Why?" Nosferatu Zodd asked, "So no one will become an apostle, so their despair won't consume them and they won't sacrifice the lives of their loved ones, nocreature deserves that." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Yeah, and I can throw parties and cheer them up with singing." Pinkie Pie said, "Sounds like you have a new companion, Guts." Puck said, "I'm fine on my own." Guts replied, "Who were they sacrificed to again?" Rainbow Dash asked, "The God Hand." Guts replied, "Who are they?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Our angels, they appear in person every two hundred sixteen years." Nosferatu Zodd replied, "Every two sixteen years? We won't be alive by that time." Rarity said, "Wait, hold on, Rarity. When was the last time they appeared?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Two years ago." Nosferatu Zodd replied, the ponies and Spike became speechless, "Yeah, we'll be gone by then." Sunburst said, "I won't." Spike replied, "Me neither, but we can at least write down notes about them. What are they like?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "There are five members, Void, Slan, Ubik, Conrad, and Femto, Femto was my former best friend, his real name is Griffith, he is the most recent member." Guts replied, "Do they have a leadership or anything?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Void is the leader." Grunbeld replied, "Alright, so, um... why are they your leaders?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "They are the strongest of apostles." Nosferatu Zodd replied, "What are they capable of?" Applejack asked, "Femto has complete control over gravity and space, he can also send this invisible force that destroys one's physical body that leaves no trace of them behind." Guts replied, the ponies and Spike became uncomfortable, "What about the others?" Fluttershy asked, "Conrad spreads the plague and sicknesses around, he can also transmutate items." Nosferatu Zodd replied, "That's not bad, I'm sure some spells of mine can fix those." Twilight Sparkle said, "Ubik is not much of a fighter, he prefers to give out speeches that breaks one mentally." Nosferatu Zodd replied, "That's fine, I'm sure a little talk to raise one's spirits will help them decide otherwise." Twilight Sparkle said, "That's the thing, the speeches Ubik gives to break one's spirit are always accurate so you can't deny that he's lying." Grunbeld replied, "So he's basically a twisted version of the Element of Honesty, Ah guess the only way to counter him is to remind one of their good deeds and how much everybody loves them." Applejack said, "What is Slan like?" Rarity asked, "Well... Slan is like a succubus, she's like someone who will interfere with your relationship with someone and ruin them, she can manifest herself in the world as well." Guts replied, "Oh, how rude, there will be no one standing between me and my special stallion." Rarity said, "There's more, she also enjoys inflicting and receiving pain." Guts replied, the ponies and Spike became uncomfortable again, "And Void?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "He can open rifts in space and send your attack back to you, he and Ubik can also manipulate one's consciousness." Grunbeld replied, the Mane Six's eyes' widened, "He's also the one who marks those who are to be sacrificed and eaten by the other apostles, he put the brand on my back of my neck." Guts said, "Oh, so that's what that is, I was wondering about that mark." Twilight Sparkle replied, "It bleeds when an apostle is near me, that's what alerts me of their presence." Guts said, "Well, if you guys do encounter someone with this behelit and about to use it, you all should try to remind that person that there's no reason to give up hope, and be their friend, no dream or goal is worth sacrificing the lives of your friends and loved ones for." Starlight Glimmer said, the four remained speechless, "Is that all?" Grunbeld asked, "Well, pretty much, I was hoping you two were going to open up about the despair that caused you guys to become apostles." Starlight Glimmer replied, "I already said mine." Grunbeld said, "Do you regret becoming an apostle?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "A little." Grunbeld replied, "And you, Zodd?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Somewhat." Nosferatu Zodd replied, "What is it you two regret?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Not finding strong and challenging opponents." Nosferatu Zodd replied, "What?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Zodd and I live only for battle, our strengths as apostles have left us unable to find worthy opponents, since we tend to kill our opponents in one hit." Grunbeld replied, "You guys don't regret the loved ones you sacrificed?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "I don't think about it." Grunbeld replied, "Me neither." Nosferatu Zodd said, Starlight Glimmer became speechless, "Well, I don't know what to say about that, so you two may leave." Starlight Glimmer said and the two left, "Now Guts, we need the behelit for a minute, so can you come with us? Spike already sent a letter to Princess Celestia about the apostles." Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright." Guts replied, "Okay, Gene, let's talk, let's start at when you arrived into the kingdom after you father put you in that escape pod." Starlight Glimmer said, and Guts went outside with the others and they headed to Canterlot while Sunburst went to the Crystal Empire. Guts arrived into Canterlot and he and the six mares and Spike went to go see Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, "We're here, Princess Celestia." Twilight Sparkle said, "Oh, good, I'd like to see the behelit." Princess Celestia said, and Puck flew out of Guts' satchel and showed it to her, "My, I've never seen anything like it." Princess Celestia said, "Do you two know about the God Hand?" Guts asked, "No, in our lives of over a thousand years, we have never heard of them." Princess Celestia replied, "Well, maybe it's because me and a lot of those people in that kingdom are from different dimensions." Guts said, "Different dimensions? Wait, that would actually make sense." Twilight Sparkle said, "Even then, we have interdimensional travel as well, we should've been able to enter the God Hand's realm as well." Princess Luna said, "I assume you were already informed about the apostles." Guts said, "Yes, I was, I was already informed on how one becomes an apostle as well." Princess Celestia replied, "I saw the report, too, it brings back bad memories of when I became Nightmare Moon." Princess Luna said, "So, you gave in to despair, too?" Guts asked, "Well, it was mostly jealousy that changed me." Princess Luna replied, "Well, I am done, here is your behelit back." Princess Celestia said as she gave it back to Puck, "I ask you kindly to give any behelits you find to me, I have an area in my castle to seal away such artifacts." Princess Celestia said, "I may not be even close to this place when I find the next apostle." Guts replied, "That is why I wish to create a magical web of contacting others around the world for this." Princess Celestia said, "Why?" Guts asked, "So we can stop people from turning into apostles, we need to let them know that there is hope and help, and to be honest with you, if I had a behelit at the time I sealed away Luna into the moon, I probably would have became an apostle myself." Princess Celestia replied, "Am I done here?" Guts asked, "Well, yes, I just wanted to see the behelit." Princess Celestia replied, "Come on, Puck." Guts said, and Puck flew into his satchel and the two headed back to the kingdom, "Tell me, Princess Celestia, what do you think about that kingdom?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Well, they're not bad, but I am a bit frustrated over the fact that I have no say in politics or trade with them." Princess Celestia replied, "It's not just us, Cadence has been very frustrated as well." Princess Luna said, "Yeah, me too." Twilight Sparkle said, "And I was going to represent you guys, but i have to do the Dragon Lands instead since they didn't send anyone." Spike said, "Well, it ain't all that bad." Applejack said, "Yeah, I mean, the ruler is reasonable." Rainbow Dash said, "True, but you all should go, Luna and I have to get on with our days." Princess Celestia replied, and they left while Princess Celestia and Princess Luna continued with their days. A few hours passed and Volvox continued looking for his sister with help from Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, "Excuse me, Emperor Volvox." Princess Celestia said as she flew to him, "I think I see a kingdom far away over there." Princess Celestia said as she pointed towards Griffonstone, Volvox shrunk himself and used his telekinesis to fly and went up higher, he saw a land behind Griffonstone, so he flew to it. Volvox flew to the land and he saw his sister, he kept flying forward and she noticed him, "Volvox?" Volvox's sister asked, Volvox flew forward and grew himself up to regular size, "I finally found you." Volvox said, "I was looking for you, too, I was worried." Volvox's sister replied, "You been alright?" Volvox asked, "Yeah, we actually had no problems here." Volvox's sister replied, "Good, I'm in an area surrounded by many other countries." Volvox said, "Really? Has there been any problems for you?" Volvox's sister asked, "I had criminals escape into them, but an assassin I hired managed to stop them before they did any serious damage." Volvox replied, "Good, well, why don't you move your kingdom here?" Volvox's sister asked, "Well, um... I already have ambassadors in the other countries." Volvox replied, "Oh, really? Well, gather your people around, and have them decide whether they want to come here with us, if not, I'll move there instead." Volvox's sister said, Volvox nodded and he shrunk himself and used telekinesis on himself to fly back to his kingdom. Volvox arrived back at his kingdom and he changed himself back to his regular size, "All of my citizens, I need you here." Volvox said, and everybody from his kingdom went to him, "I have found my sister's kingdom, but we have a choice, either you all can stay here and have her move kingdom here, or decide you don't like this place and move ourselves towards her kingdom instead." Volvox said, the other countries disagreed, "Well, truth be told, the changeling kingdom kind of grew on me." the changeling kingdom's ambassador said, "Me too, I'm kind of enjoying the country I'm in." Yakyakistan's ambassador said, "What about the rest of you ambassadors?" Volvox asked, "Kind of." Kirin Grove's ambassador said, "Me too." Seaquestria's ambassador said, "Yup." Mt. Aris' ambassador said, "I'm having fun, too." the Crystal Empire's ambassador said, "So am I." Equestria's ambassador said, "The country I'm in is alright." Griffonstone's ambassador said, "Yeah, I'm okay where I'm at, too." the Dragon Land's ambassador said, "How about you, Gene?" Volvox asked, "Well, I did find a job, and it's not too bad." Gene replied, "You actually found a job?" Leilong asked, "Yup, farm work." Gene replied, "Farm work? That isn't like you, you tend to take jobs that have big risks and big rewards." Leilong said, "Well, the job was given to me for free." Gene replied, "Well, Gene, do you want to keep your job or stop it?" Volvox asked, Gene thought about his decision, "Yeah, alright, I'll keep it." Gene said, "Excuse me a minute." Volvox said, and he shrunk himself and used telekinesis on himself to fly. Volvox's sister watched her kingdom and she saw her brother coming, "They decided, they want to stay there." Volvox said, "Alright, I'll move my kingdom to where you're at." Volvox's sister replied, and she shrunk herself and used telekinesis on herself to fly and saw Volvox's kingdom, she flew back down and used telekinesis on her own kingdom and moved it while Volvox flew back to his kingdom. Volvox arrived back while his sister's kingdom arrived, it landed to the east of Volvox's kingdom, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack headed there along with Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream, Autumn Blaze trotted over the water and joined them, "You too, Autumn Blaze?" Fluttershy asked, "Yup, Rain Shine wants me to report back what I find." Autumn Blaze replied, flying was heard and Gabby came, "Hi, am I late?" Gabby asked, "Nope, you're just in time." Pinkie Pie replied, "Great." Gabby said, and she landed, a green light scanned them and the double doors opened and they entered. The Mane Six, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, Silverstream, Gabby, and Autumn Blaze walked around and looked at the place, "Wait a minute, this place looks almost just like the male kingdom." Rainbow Dash said, "Now that ya mention it, it does." Applejack replied, "Hey, sorry I'm late." a female demon said as she ran to them, "Who are you?" Gabby asked, "I'm your tour guide." the demon replied, "Oh, thanks, show us around." Twilight Sparkle said, "This way." the demon said, and they followed her. The demon showed the foreign creatures around the kingdom, "See that there, that's where the artists and entertainers work." the demon said, the girls looked and saw the kingdom had the exact same forms of art and entertainment as the male kingdom, "I must say, some of those dresses could use some extra work." Rarity said, "Well, we have different creatures, and each one has different tastes in culture and entertainment." the demon replied, and she showed them around some more, "That's the tournament right there." the demon said as she pointed to it, "Fireball!" a competitor said, an explosion happened and another female screamed, "Lina Inverse wins again." the announcer said, and the females around the ring cheered, "A fire spell? You guys have magic?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the demon nodded, "What are they doing?" Rainbow Dash asked as she pointed, the demon looked and saw girls doing a training regime, "They're doing a training regime, see that human there, she's the one who trains them." the demon said, they watched the training and they decided they seen enough, "Do you guys have a taxi?" Fluttershy asked, "Sorry, but no." the demon replied, "Well, the kingdom's not that big." Ocellus said, "Do you all have a school?" Silverstream asked, "It's right there." the demon replied as she pointed to it, they saw the person voted for best teacher was Kumiko Yamaguchi, and the school's top student was Makoto Niijima, "Um, does kingdom have doctor?" Yona asked, "Over there." the demon replied as she pointed, there were several doctors working, "Um, can we meet the ruler?" Autumn Blaze asked, "Sure, follow me." the demon replied, and they followed her. The Mane Six, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, Silverstream, Gabby, and Autumn Blaze walked into the palace, "They're here." the demon said, "Hello, I am Empress Euglena, ruler of this single gender kingdom." Volvox's sister said, the visitors stood there and looked at her while speechless because she looked exactly like Volvox, "Who's the second-in-command?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I am, my name is Lilith." the demon replied, "Okay, um, where's the bodyguard?" Rainbow Dash asked, a female golem walked forward, "This is Terra, she's acts as my bodyguard, and usually my last line of defense alongside Lilith." Euglena said, Terra waved at the visitors, "Who else is here?" Gabby asked, an angel and a human came forward, "The angel here is Amser, she can travel through time and is my advisor, and the human is Tiffany, my spokesperson." Euglena said, "Hello, we were expecting visitors today." Tiffany said, "Tiffany, darling, why are you wearing a business suit?" Rarity asked, "It's for my job." Tiffany replied, "Alright, um... do you have assassins?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Just one." Euglena replied, "We'd like to meet her." Twilight Sparkle said, and the person came forward, "This is Casca, she's usually a mercenary, but she decided to serve me to make money, assassin is a job most girls in my kingdom don't want." Euglena said, "What the? You look like a boy." Smolder said, "Long hair gets in the way of battle." Casca replied, "What the? You only have one assassin?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Is something the matter?" Euglena asked, "I got reports from the males of my home country that your brother has seven assassins." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Oh, that, that's because men are more willing to do that job than women." Euglena said, "There are also less female criminals to hunt down, too." Casca said, "Do you work divided by gender?" Fluttershy asked, "No, I work with the other male assassins sometimes." Casca replied, "I sure hope they don't look at you differently because of your gender." Rarity said, "Actually, no, they treat me like an equal." Casca replied, "One more thing, Empress Euglena, do you have apostles in your kingdom?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes." Euglena replied, "Well, we are trying to spread friendship all over the world, we would like for those feeling despair and thinking about changing into an apostle to be brought to us for counseling." Twilight Sparkle said, "I'm not sure if that's going to work." Lilith said, "Well, it's worth a try." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, that is all to our kingdom, I hope you liked it." Lilith said, "Well, we did watch your brother's kingdom, this place is basically no different." Rainbow Dash replied, "We know, we watch each other's kingdom." Amser said, "Well, thank you, we'll be going back now." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all left while the girls in the kingdom waved bye at them. Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream told their respective countries what they found in the all-female kingdom and went back to Sandbar and Gallus, "Wait, so there's no difference?" Sandbar asked, "Not really, she only has one assassin and there are many more doctors, but other than that, everything is pretty much the exact same." Smolder replied, "Yeah, there's really no difference between the two." Ocellus said, "I guess there's no reason for them to separated then." Gallus said, "Yona agree." Yona replied, "Well, maybe we can get the two kingdoms to come together and we can all enter as an entire group." Silverstream said, "I hope so, it'd make visiting more fun, too." Sandbar replied, "Well, let's go, let's see how the others handle this." Ocellus said, and they went back to the School of Friendship. Three days passed and Euglena was filled in on the other countries by Volvox, so she sent ambassadors to the places, her ambassador for Equestria was a fairy, the Crystal Empire's ambassador was a troll, the Dragon Land's ambassador was a golem, Griffonstone's ambassador was an elf, Yakyakistan's ambassador was an angel, the changeling kingdom's ambassador was a dwarf, Mt. Aris' ambassador was an orc, Seaquestria's ambassador was a mermaid, and Kirin Grove's ambassador was a mutant, Euglena was also informed by Volvox about the trade system and she decided to trade the same things. Volvox's and Euglena's kingdoms were peaceful at the moment until Volvox heard a gunshot and a grunt, he looked and saw a mutant fall over with a bullet in his head, he saw Golgo 13 aiming his M16, he stopped aiming and walked to the taxi and Travis drove to where he was told to go, clangs were heard and girls were fighting in Euglena's kingdom at the tournament, "Dragon Slave!" one competitor said, and a big explosion happened, the angels used their light magic to block the attack, the smoke cleared and everybody was glaring at Lina, "Look, Lina! You just destroyed part of the kingdom." Euglena said, Lina looked and saw the areas not protected by the angels' magic were destroyed, it was mostly the walls around the kingdom, "Sorry." Lina said as she scratched the back of her head, "Get building." Euglena said, and Lina began using her magic to rebuild the walls. Volvox heard swimming and Gene arrived back into the kingdom, "You get fired?" Volvox asked, "No, I'm on break right now." Gene replied, "Oh." Volvox said, and Gene went to an outside bar and had a drink, Leilong sat beside him, "Enjoying the place?" Leilong asked, "It's alright." Gene replied, "So, what is that country with the horses like?" Leilong asked, "A little too happy for my liking, and their talks about friendship makes me a little nauseous, but now the female kingdom is here, I can sleep like a baby again." Gene replied, "You never change, Gene." Leilong said, "What do you think is going to happen next?" Gene asked, "Well, I don't know, we'll have to see how our relations with the foreign countries go." Leilong replied, and the two drank more while Volvox and Euglena watched their kingdoms. Four days passed and everything was peaceful, "Excuse us." Twilight Sparkle said, the two kingdoms saw her with Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Spike, Sunburst, Shining Armor, Sandbar, Gallus, Gabby, Gilda, King Thorax, Ocellus, Garble, Smolder, Prince Rutherford, Yona, Terramar, Silverstream, Autumn Blaze, and the male kirin, "We would like for y'all to put yer two kingdoms together." Applejack said, "Sorry, but we're doing a social experiment." Euglena replied, "Yeah, we got that, but your kingdoms kind of developed the same ways." Rainbow Dash said, "What reasons do you guys have for fusing our kingdoms together?" Volvox asked, "Well, some of us are brother and sister, and we'd like to travel your kingdoms together as a family." Terramar replied, Silverstream nodded in agreement, "Is that all?" Volvox asked, "No, I'd like to go with my wife and daughter." Shining Armor replied, "And my best friend can't come with me if I decide to see you guys." Sunburst said, "The social experiment is still going." Euglena said, "How long has it been going?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Five, ten years." Volvox replied, "Ten years sounds right." Euglena said, "I think that's long enough for results, look at your kingdoms." Twilight Sparkle said, Volvox and Euglena looked at their kingdoms and saw their kingdoms were nearly identical, "See, aside from having opposite genders, you all basically developed the same way, same interests, same jobs, same forms of entertainment, and so on, we think you two should combine your kingdoms together." Twilight Sparkle said, "Your say, Euglena, you're the one who suggested the social experiment in the first place." Volvox said, "What do my citizens say?" Euglena asked, the females did not respond, "How many say we stay the way we are?" Euglena asked, half of the kingdom raised their hands, "How many say we combine with the boys?" Euglena asked, the other half raised their hands, "How about you guys, how many want to stay apart?" Volvox asked, half of his kingdom raised their hands, "How many want to combine?" Volvox asked, the other half raised their hands, "It's a tie in my kingdom." Euglena said, "Yeah, mine too." Volvox replied, "Let's look at it this way, everyone, do you all want to have future generations?" Twilight Sparkle asked, most of the citizens in the two kingdoms agreed, "See, there's a reason right there, being divided by gender means no future for your countries if you all die out." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, you all know the rules, majority rules, the social experiment's over." Euglena said, and the creatures from the other countries cheered while Volvox and Euglena used their telekinesis to put their kingdoms together. The creatures from the other kingdoms entered together and they began exploring the newly formed land, Flurry Heart flew around the kingdom and looked at the newly formed kingdom, Princess Cadence flew to her and took her, "Careful, Flurry, you'll destroy something if you fly around like that." Princess Cadence said, and the two traveled together with Shining Armor. Rarity walked to Travis as he came out of the taxi, "Travis still has his mohawk." Sunburst said, "Travis." Rarity said as she trotted to him, he looked at her, "You can't be a taxi driver looking like that, that mohawk has got to go." Rarity said, "My hair will grow out again eventually." Travis said, "No, it'll make your hair look weird by having the center area longer than the sides, hold still now." Rarity said, and she got scissors and a shaver and cut and shaved off his mohawk, "There, now you look more professional." Rarity said, Travis looked at himself in the taxi's mirror, "It's not too bad." Travis said, and he drove away to get new customers while Rarity went to go explore elsewhere. A week passed and the natives of Volvox's and Euglena's kingdom began traveling outside, Candyman was at Fluttershy's cottage and she wanted to see his bees, "Now, Candyman, um... can I see your bees?" Fluttershy asked, Candyman opened his coat and revealed his bees, "Okay, um..., can you all make me some honey, please?" Fluttershy asked, "My bees are meant to kill, not make honey." Candyman said, "Well, let's try something new, so can I have some honey, please?" Fluttershy asked, and the bees produced some honey for her. Princess Celestia was hoof wrestling with other creatures and she won every match so far, "Next, please." Princess Celestia said, and she became a little speechless when she saw her next opponent was Grunbeld, he sat and put his arm on the table. Princess Celestia slowly lifted her leg and began to wrestle and Princess Celestia could not move Grunbeld's arm, Grunbeld then used his strength and moved Princess Celestia's leg to the end of the table and she yelped when he broke the table and her hoof got smashed into the floor, "I heard you were a goddess, I am disappointed." Grunbeld said, and he left. Princess Celestia got her hoof out of the floor and grunted as she moved it, she put a cast on and rested while she watched Princess Luna hoof wrestle in her place. Rarity was doing new fashion designs with the other creatures and was opening up to new designers, the door opened and Rarity screamed at seeing it was Dr. Frank-N-Furter, "How do you do? I am here to spread my spectacular taste in fashion to the other men here." Dr. Frank-N-Furter said, "Uh... in a minute, I think you can make some improvements." Rarity replied, and she ran around while giving him advice on how to improve his own taste in fashion. The two kingdoms began to mix together and babies were born years later, people from the other countries and native to the kingdom began going in and out of the kingdom and it thrived for years to come. DystopiaVolvox was a being who lived on an island that was inhabited by other creatures, he ruled his own section of the island ruled over all but two creatures, they were Cerberus', Orthrus', Minotaurs, Bigfoots, Wendigos, and Onis, his two second-in-commands and scouts were his pet birds, Phoenix and Thunderbird. There were two more groups that inhabited the island, one was a gang of demons led by a demon named Dommiel, and a gang of humans led by a man named Tom, they were all fighting one another for dominance of the island. The island was originally full of life and many plants, but it has decayed through the years of war, there was now no soil to grow anything, alongside roads and buildings on fire, and those who were not a part of any faction lived in the sewers, food was also now very scarce and people have resorted to eating anything they could find, and meat produced by a man in a factory. Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom waged war against one another every night while the creatures who were not in any faction were going to try to find a new home using demon magic and human technology, everycreature felt the space and time continuum ripping and a wormhole appeared, everycreature braced for impact as they got transported elsewhere. Equestria and the the other countries were going along their days peacefully until they all felt a disturbance in the water, it was between Equestria, the Dragon Lands, and Griffonstone. White electricity appeared alongside a transparent sphere, it disappeared and everycreature gasped when they saw the place, it was completely black, the ground was nothing but roads and manholes, all of the buildings were decrepit with parts of them missing, some of them were on fire, and there were dead bodies and bones laid throughout the island. The creatures looked on with shock and disbelief at how the place looked, "That place don't look too good." Applejack stated, "It doesn't, but I'm wondering if anybody lives there." Twilight Sparkle replied, "What? You can't be serious, Twilight, who would live in such filth?" Rarity asked, "I can." Rainbow Dash remarked, Rarity glared at her, "I mean, there is a person right there." Spike spoke as he pointed to a corpse, "I don't think that person's alive, Spike." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Alright, so someone does live there, we could visit." Applejack said, "I'd rather... not go... it looks... scary." Fluttershy quivered, "Oh, relax, Fluttershy, my party will lighten things up." Pinkie Pie replied, "We still should take some precautions, the place looks very dangerous." Twilight Sparkle warned, "Ah agree, let's pack up a little first." Applejack added, and they left and put items in their saddlebags, Twilight Sparkle got books on shields and escape spells, Rainbow Dash packed her Wonderbolts training guide, Fluttershy packed a book on animals, Pinkie Pie packed her party materials, Rarity packed clothes, and Applejack packed a few apples and horseshoes, they all met again, "Is everypony ready?" Twilight Sparkle asked, they nodded, "Let's go." Twilight Sparkle ordered, and they got into her hot air balloon and headed to the new island. The Mane Six and Spike headed to the new island with the hot air balloon and they looked on in awe at how many people were there and the diversity of creatures, Volvox and his gang were in the north, northeast, and east, Dommiel and his gang were in the northwest and west, and Tom and his gang were in the southeast, southwest, and south. Twilight Sparkle moved the hot air balloon forward and everycreature saw them coming, "Intruders!" a male human hollered, "Wait, no, we're visitors." Twilight Sparkle corrected, and the demons shot dark energy at them out of their hands, the ponies and Spike screamed, "You are in demon territory, you are not welcome here." Dommiel said, "What if we don't leave?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Then die." a male demon replied, the mares and Spike became speechless, "Last warning, leave, or we shoot you down and kill you." Dommiel warned, Twilight Sparkle quickly moved the hot air balloon elsewhere. She arrived at the southern area and the humans began shooting at her hot air balloon with guns, she and her friends screamed as they ducked, "This is human territory. Begone!" Tom ordered, and she went to the northern area and a big fire breath went past her hot air balloon and almost hit it, she and her friends exclaimed, "Hey! What gives?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Get off my turf." Volvox ordered, the six mares and Spike looked on with disbelief, "Isn't there anybody welcoming here?!" Twilight Sparkle asked loudly, "Unless you are here to help us fight in the war, leave, or we will kill all seven of you and eat your corpses." a male Bigfoot threatened, the seven exclaimed and screamed as they left. Twilight Sparkle and her friends looked on at the people while they were all gearing up for their next battle, "*growl* Those people are so rude." Rarity fumed, "Ah know, right, they talkin' bout eatin' us, too." Applejack replied, "Princess Celestia will be furious if they do that, Applejack, she will likely go to war with them if they do." Twilight Sparkle said, "Still, what are they doing?" Fluttershy asked, they all looked and saw the humans loading guns and putting on armor, "Let's watch from afar, let's see how things go on that island." Twilight Sparkle ordered, and they all headed back home. Volvox and his gang were preparing for the night and got their weapons ready, "What do you think made us come to this place, Volvox?" a male Wendigo asked, "It must've been those sewer people trying something, they'll be dealt with soon." Volvox replied, and they all prepared for the night. Night time came and everycreature was ready to fight, a bell was heard ringing and a male human bringing forth meat products on a servicing tray on wheels came forward, "Get your Soylent Green products here." the man stated, and everycreature ran to him while snarling, the manholes opened and the people living in the sewers came out. The world's creatures watched with shock while Rarity exclaimed, the creatures living on the island growled and snarled as they ripped and tore the meat apart with their bare hands', they fought and killed one another for the food as well, "Oh, how barbaric." Rarity stated, and they all finished eating, "Okay, bring me all of your sick, disabled, and defected infants, and animals that can't move anymore." the man ordered, and they did, and he put them on the tray and rolled it to a building called 'Soylent Green Processing Factory', "What do y'all think is in there?" Applejack asked, "I don't know, but I'm sensing something really fishy about that place." Pinkie Pie answered, "Come on, everypony, it's getting late, we need sleep." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all went home. Everycreature except for Princess Luna slept but they were all awakened by the sound of explosions, some creatures screamed and they all looked out and saw the natives on the island fighting, Volvox and his creatures used brute force to kill their enemies while Phoenix shot fire out of his mouth and Thunderbird summoned lightning by unfolding his wings, Dommiel and his demons used their magic, and Tom and the humans used technology. Fluttershy gasped and Pinkie Pie screamed when they saw children and animals were fighting as well, one female demon child got shot in her leg and then a human ran her over with a tank, Rarity screamed while she and her friends looked away, Twilight Sparkle had tears falling out of her eyes. The fighting continued and the gunshots, explosions, growling, snarling, and screaming went on all night, Princess Cadence comforted Flurry Heart while she cried all night. The next morning came and everycreature was tired, they saw the man who gave them food again, he picked up the corpses and took them to the Soylent Green Processing Factory, the manholes opened and the people living in the sewers came out to collect some of the corpses, "Excuse us." a female Minotaur stated, the man looked at her, she gave him a baby, "This one has defects." the Minotaur said, and he took it, "Thank you for your distribution." the man stated, and he went back to the factory. Twilight Sparkle and her friends watched with disbelief at seeing the people in the sewers were all dirty, anorexic, and dressed in leather with fur, they looked and saw an anorexic puppy walking around on the roads as well, "Food!" a male demon hollered, and they all chased and ate the puppy while growling and snarling. Fluttershy gasped while looking away and crying, "Worst country ever!" Pinkie Pie declared, "You said it, Pinkie, Ah don't know how the ruler can let their country fall into such a state." Applejack replied, "Still, I wonder, who is the ruler?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Well, I'd like to have a word with them, the country's fighting has ruined my beauty sleep." Rarity fumed, "Come on, everypony, let's go see those people." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Can we come?" Sweetie Belle asked as she went to the Mane Six with Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, "I think it's best you and your friends stay here, Sweetie Belle, that country's unwelcoming and dangerous." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Yeah, they threatened to eat us when we went there yesterday." Applejack added, "Are y'all gonna be okay?" Apple Bloom asked, "Don't worry, I'm ready to fight if they attack us." Rainbow Dash declared, "But they look really strong and have magic and technology." Scootaloo reminded her, "I'll keep us safe, you three stay here with Spike." Twilight Sparkle said, and they went into her hot air balloon and went back to the country. The Mane Six went into the country again while the sewer people watched them, they landed and walked forward, "Y'all ain't gonna send us back?" Applejack asked, "Actually, we're the ones who transferred the island here." a female oni replied, "What? How come?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "Just look at this place, filled with war, no soil to grow any crops, food is scarce, everybody struggling to survive, all the buildings are about to crumble, all natural resources of our land has been used up, and all the water from where we're from is dried up and gone, if we don't find a new home, we're all going to die." a female human explained, the mares became speechless, "Wow, so um..., what are you doing in the sewers?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's the safest place for us to hide, since we are with neither of the three gangs, we have been labelled food and the gangs will try to kill us and eat us if we're spotted." a male Wendigo replied, the six mares' jaw dropped, "How did you all get here?" Rainbow Dash asked, "This way." a male human replied, and they went into the sewers. The Mane Six entered the sewers and they coughed and gagged from the stench, "Sorry about that, there's no water to wash the waste and trash away." a female human spoke, and they went down the ladder. They arrived at the bottom and they all looked away and gagged when they saw the sewers was filled with urine, feces, vomit, and trash, it was completely dry with no water in it, "How can you live in such filth?" Rarity asked, "It's not too bad, we find the things we need to survive in the trash." a male oni replied, "But still, this is disgusting." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Anyway, come on, this way, and stay with us, Volvox's, Dommiel's, and Tom's gangs are down here wandering around, they'll kill you and send you to the Soylent Green Processing Factory if you're caught." a female Wendigo warned, "What goes on in that place anyway?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Do you guys eat meat?" a male human child asked, "What? No, of course not." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Then you'll be better off not knowing." a female human child spoke, "What? Oh, come on, tell us, please?" Rainbow Dash begged, "Trust us, you don't want to know." the male human child replied, and they all walked while Twilight Sparkle used her magic to make photos of the sewers, "What are you doing, Twilight?" Rarity questioned, "I'm taking pictures with my magic, I'm going to send pictures to Princess Celestia to show what their living conditions are like." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Good idea, Twi, maybe she can improve it." Applejack stated, "Keep your voice down, the members of the gangs will hear you." a male Bigfoot warned, and they kept walking. The Mane Six followed them and looked at the sewers, it was very rusty with chipped paint falling off of the walls, "Hide." a male Orthrus child whispered, and they did, they saw dogs, wolves, other Orthrus', and Cerberus' walking around, they passed by and the creatures led the Mane Six to their hideout. Everycreature arrived at the hideout and saw many more creatures there, "Here are the visitors." a female Cerberus stated, and they walked forward, "So you're the ones who want to explore this country, you six are courageous, I'll give you that, the daytime is the safest, but you still need to be careful, the gangs still patrol the streets and buildings." a male demon spoke, "How did you get here?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the creatures got a device and the demons used their magic to create a screen, "Shortly before we came here, we're all from a place with nothing but water all around us, and then a few days before that, the water dried up, we began using our magic and technology to look for a new home, we came here just by chance." the male demon explained as they showed pictures of where they were from, all the water was gone and there nothing but the island there, "What happened to the resources?" Applejack asked, "The three gangs used it all up, those three are fighting for dominance, whoever wins will rule the island." a female demon answered, "Wait, how did the fights start?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "The three have different views on how the island should be ruled, those who joined them supported them, we're down here because we disagree with all three of them." a male oni replied, "I see, wow, I'll send the information to Princess Celestia and she'll have a word with the supreme ruler." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Wait." a male human child blurted out, "Don't worry, I'm sure after a few discussions, things will get straightened out." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she made a letter appear with her magic and wrote on it and put pictures on it with her magic and teleported it, "There, just wait a bit, things will get better soon, let's wait for Princess Celestia, everypony." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and they went back to the hot air balloon and waited. Princess Celestia was walking throughout Canterlot Castle while Princess Luna relaxed, she got a letter and opened it while Princess Luna walked to her, the two read the letter, "Dear, Princess Celestia, I have met with the people in the sewers just now, they are looking for a new home since where they are from, all water and resources are gone. I cannot believe how filthy this place is, if you thought the top part was dirty, the sewers is much worse, I am sending pictures of what the place looks like, I am shocked at their living conditions, I was hoping if you could please let these people into Equestria for a new life." Princess Celestia read, she and Princess Luna looked at the pictures and she exclaimed out of shock while covering her own mouth with her hoof while Princess Luna's jaw dropped, "My goodness, I can't believe they live in such filth." Princess Celestia spoke, "Shall we let them live with us, sister?" Princess Luna asked, "Of course, we're a land of friendship, it would be wrong not to give them a new home, but first, I'll need to speak with their ruler, I'll be right back." Princess Celestia replied, and she flew out of the castle. Princess Celestia flew to the island and Twilight Sparkle and her friends walked with her, "Excuse me, can everycreature come out, please?" Princess Celestia asked, and everyone did, "I have seen the filth of your country, and honestly, I can't believe you guys live in such conditions, I would like a word with your ruler." Princess Celestia requested, and Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom walked forward, "No, your supreme ruler." Princess Celestia said, "There isn't one." Volvox replied, "What?" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed, "See, that's what I was trying to say earlier, we don't have a ruler." the male child from earlier explained, the mares' mouths opened out of shock, "Then... who rules the island?" Fluttershy asked, "It's different in each area, here, Dommiel, the south, Tom, and the north, Volvox." the child explained, "Well, since you all don't have a ruler, I pray and hope you all can settle your differences and get along." Princess Celestia remarked, "Why did you want to see the ruler?" Tom asked, "Because of the state your country is in, I honestly can't believe this, no one should live in such conditions." Princess Celestia replied, the natives looked at one another, "It's not too bad." a female human child remarked, "What?! Not too bad?! This is horrible! The buildings are about to crumble, you all are hungry and thirsty, everycreature is fighting to survive, and worst of all, your clothes and tastes in them are unfashionable!" Rarity ranted, "That's your biggest concern? We have bigger problems than looking fashionable." a female Bigfoot fumed, Rarity growled, "Anyway, my country's open to those who wish to live elsewhere, just keep in mind the other countries will be watching you all." Princess Celestia reminded, and they all left and the island natives got back with their days. The days went by and everycreature was kept up a night by the sounds of warfare, the man from the Soylent Green Processing Factory gave out meat for everycreature to eat right before they fought every night, and the creatures gave him injured and defected babies and animals for him to take to the factory. The fighting at night continued every night and the humans' automobiles made even more noise, so did Phoenix's fire and Thunderbird's thunder, the creatures went over to them after about a week of nightly fighting has kept them up, Princess Celestia held them all back with her telekinesis as she walked forward, "Enough! We cannot sleep! And more importantly, you all can't get along and settle things peacefully, so we're going to establish a co-ruling." Princess Celestia stated, "Foreigners cannot rule this island." Dommiel explained, "No, I am here establishing a rule on this island since you all can't get along, I will also provide food and water for you all as well." Princess Celestia replied, the natives thought about it, "Yeah, I guess, we can always use more food." Tom spoke, the others agreed, "For those looking for a new home, you may come to our land." Princess Celestia stated, and she and the six mares went back and everycreature slept peacefully for the rest of the night. The next day came and the sewer people went to Equestria while the three gangs slept, "Oh, no, no, no, you all cannot come here wearing such dirty clothing, come on now, let's get you all nice and clean." Rarity remarked as she took the humans to Carousel Boutique, she got ready to clean and noticed all of their outfits were made from leather and some had fur, "Huh? Your clothes are all made from leather and fur." Sweetie Belle said, "That's because they're made from dead natives of our island." a female human child replied, Rarity screamed, "You can't wear that! That is criminal!" Rarity thundered with her voice cracking, "Well, the island's cold at night, we need something." a female human adult responded, "I would like a word with your tailors." Rarity stated, the creatures looked at one another, "Don't tell me you don't know what a tailor is, it's a person who makes outfits fit for you all." Rarity explained, "Oh, no, we don't have that, the Soylent Green factory man just skins the dead people for us and gives them to us for us to wear." a male human child replied, "Ugh." Sweetie Belle exclaimed while sticking her tongue out, "Don't you all have any cotton to wear?" Rarity asked, the creatures shook their heads, "Well, that's how this land works, you can't wear people or animal skin as clothing here, it has to be fancy, like a business suit." Rarity explained, the humans stepped forward and Rarity began measuring them and used her magic to make outfits for them quickly, "Here is something for you ladies." Rarity stated as she gave them skirts, "What's this?" a second human female child asked, "Why, it's a skirt, lets you be fancy no matter where you're at." Rarity replied, the female humans shrugged and took them, "There, go on now, I think you all will like it here." Rarity remarked, and they left her shop. The natives from the island explored Ponyville and they saw Sweet Apple Acres, they sneaked to the area and saw the many animals, they got ready to kill the animals and collect the apples to eat, "HEY!!" Applejack hollered, they got startled and looked back while the humans took their knives and guns out, "What are y'all doin'?" Applejack questioned, "Uh... just getting food." a male demon answered, "Come on, y'all, there's no need for that, just come on in and have yerselves some apples." Applejack said, and they did. The creatures had apple treats that the Apple family baked while the Wendigos, onis, and demons did not eat, "Y'all not hungry?" Apple Bloom asked, "Oh, right, they're carnivores." a male Bigfoot child stated, "Meaning?" Apple Bloom asked, "They can only eat meat, Apple Bloom." Applejack explained, "I assume you guys don't eat meat." a male Wendigo child spoke, "Eenope." Big Macintosh answered, "Well, y'all can't eat our animals, they're our sources for some of our meals and drinks." Granny Smith said, "Do you guys at least have some eggs?" a male oni child asked, "Sure, hold on a minute." Applejack replied, and she trotted away, she cooked the eggs and came back with sunny side-up eggs for the Wendigos, onis, and demons, "Here y'all go." Applejack said as she gave it to them, they looked at the eggs and held them up as they examined it, "Um, why are the eggs like this?" a female demon asked, "Cause I cooked 'em." Applejack responded, "We eat everything raw back on the island." a male demon child remarked, "How come?" Apple Bloom asked, "Things take too long to cook, you'll get killed during that time you wait." a male human teenager replied, the Apple family became speechless, "Say, how do y'all know about eggs?" Applejack asked, "We had birds and snakes on the island that laid eggs, we hunted them all to extinction for food." a female elderly Wendigo explained, they became speechless again, "Life on the island sounds hard." Apple Bloom said, "Well, we think it's normal, we all have to do what we have to do to survive." a female Bigfoot replied, "Well, anyway, go ahead and finish, y'all, Ah need to pack fruits for yer island, too." Applejack stated, and they did and left while Apple Bloom and Granny Smith washed the dishes. The creatures traveled Ponyville and their attentions were first directed to Fluttershy's sanctuary, the humans', demons', Cerberus', Orthrus', oinis', and Wendigos' mouths watered at seeing the animals, "Um, guys, I think those are her pets." a male Minotaur stated, "Yeah, it's probably best we leave them be." a female Bigfoot child added, they all went there anyway, the Bigfoots and Minotaurs shrugged and followed them. The creatures arrived at Fluttershy's sanctuary and the Wendigos, onis, and demons began stalking the animals, "Hi there, would you all like a pet?" Fluttershy asked as she flew to them, they got startled and looked at her, "No, it's fine, we're just here to see the animals." a male Wendigo answered, "Oh, well, come along, I'll tell you what they are." Fluttershy stated, "That won't be necessary." a male oni replied, "Okay, suit yourself." Fluttershy said, and she flew away. The humans, Wendigos, onis, and demons began watching the animals as their mouths watered, they went back to stalking the biggest animals and crept to them slowly, Fluttershy saw what they were doing and screamed at the top of her lungs, she quickly flew down in front of them, "NO!! You will not eat my pets! You all should be ashamed of thinking that way!" Fluttershy scolded, "You'll have to excuse them, food is scarce at home, and they can only eat and digest meat." a male Cerberus said, "That's still no excuse for their behavior." Fluttershy scolded, "Can we eat them if we adopt them?" a female oni asked, "NO!!" Fluttershy shouted, the natives from the island were not fazed by the loudness of her voice, "Well, I guess we can at least watch them and see how they act." a male human child said, "That's fine, let me know if you want to know anything about them." Fluttershy replied, and she flew away. The natives of the island looked at the animals and bugs, the carnivores and humans managed to repress their hungers and watched them, they decided they have seen enough for the day and the demons used their magic to teleport themselves and the others back to the island. A few hours passed and Princess Celestia flew back to the island with many fruits, vegetables, grains, and bakeries, "Here you all go, no more famine for a while." Princess Celestia remarked, the natives of the island began fighting for the food while growling and snarling, "No." Princess Celestia said as she used her telekinesis to separate them, "One at a time, I would like for you all to be in a single file line." Princess Celestia spoke, and they did. The children went first and they tried everything, the natives had trouble eating the bakeries, the Wendigos, onis, and demons did not eat. The bell was heard ringing and the man from the Soylent Green factory came out with meat products, they ate the meat. Princess Celestia noticed Volvox was not around and she tried to see where he was at, she soon saw him walking around, "Come on over, Volvox, I have enough for everybody." Princess Celestia called out, "I don't need to eat to survive." Volvox replied, "What?" Princess Celestia asked, "He's right, for some reason, he doesn't need to eat or drink anything in order to live." a male demon explained, Princess Celestia raised an eyebrow. She watched and saw some of the food on the road, an anorexic dog came and ate them, she put her hoof on her own heart while her jaw dropped at the sight, she watched and they were all full, "Please wait a bit, the others of my country are gathering water and other drinks, they'll be here shortly." Princess Celestia stated, and she flew back. Several minutes passed and Princess Luna and Princess Cadence came with water, milk, fruit juices, punch, and cider, "Here you all go, this should be enough for about a month." Princess Luna stated, and they all took turns drinking them directly from the bottles and barrels, "Um, don't you all have any cups?" Princess Cadence asked, they all looked at her, "Cup?" a male Bigfoot asked, "You know, you pour your drink into it and you drink from it." Princess Cadence explained, "We don't have that." a male human child replied, the two became speechless, they also noticed the majority of them only drank water, they saw several dogs and wolves come forward to drink as well, they finished and the two princesses flew back. A few days passed and Twilight Sparkle requested the natives of the island to send their children to the School of Friendship, they arrived and saw the ponies and five other creatures there, they sat with them, "As you know, we had a new island appear, those kids are from that island, so we'll be able to teach them friendship and hope it will end the war and fighting there, would you all kindly give them books on our school's curriculum?" Twilight Sparkle asked, and Ocellus did, "For those of you new, open the books and start reading." Twilight Sparkle ordered, the natives of the island looked at the books with confusion, "No, guys, you open them, like this." Sandbar stated as he showed them, they did and looked at the words on the first page, "There, now go ahead and read the book." Twilight Sparkle instructed, the island natives looked at one another, "Um, we don't know how to read." a female human stated, "*gasp* You guys can't read?" Silverstream asked, "We're too busy trying to survive another day, we don't have time to learn new things." a male human replied, "Well, you have the time now, I can teach you all as well." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they tried to learn while Ocellus taught them the letters and how to pronounce the words and what they meant, "How did you all learn how to speak?" Ocellus asked, "The adults taught us." a male Wendigo replied, "Oh, well, come on now, I'll teach you all how to read, it's fun." Ocellus remarked, and she did, the island natives had trouble memorizing the alphabet and words as Ocellus explained it to them and what the sentences meant, the island natives still had trouble, "It's okay, Ocellus, maybe they'll learn more from experience, get to class now, everycreature." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they did. Classes started and Fluttershy's class was first, "Okay, everycreature, I will show you all a new creature today, this is an armadillo." Fluttershy spoke as she showed it to them, "Wow, we never had this animal on our island." a female oni stated, "What happened to your island's animals anyway?" Gallus questioned, "We hunted them to extinction." a male human answered, the class reeled back in shock, "But why?" Ocellus asked, "We needed the food." a male demon replied, "Yona wanna meet animals on island." Yona said, "There's only dogs and wolves now." a female Wendigo replied, "Anyway, back to class, this is the armadillo, they roll up into a ball when they feel threatened, the scales on their bodies protect them from harm." Fluttershy explained, the armadillo walked around a male demon looked up to it menacingly, the armadillo rolled up into a ball, "That wasn't very nice of you." Fluttershy scolded, the armadillo rolled out of the ball and walked around again, the students petted it while it went back to Fluttershy, the bell rung afterwards, "Go on to your next class, everycreature." Fluttershy said, and they did. The island natives walked through the school while following the six students, "That orange bipedal one looks like it eats meat." a male Minotaur spoke, the others nodded, "No, I eat gems, nocreature of any country eats meat." Smolder replied, "I guess we're the only ones." a female Orthrus stated, "Say, how do you creatures with multiple heads think and function?" Silverstream asked, "Well, it depends on whether if you have two heads or three heads." the female Orthrus replied, "Well, how does it work?" Gallus questioned, "Well, with me, both of my heads are equally dominant and functional, for the three headed ones, the middle head's the dominant one." the female Orthrus explained, "What do the other two heads do?" Sandbar asked, "Obey the center head." a male Cerberus replied, "Wow, well, our next class is here." Ocellus stated, and they entered the classroom. Rainbow Dash got ready to teach her class and barely contained her excitement over meeting kids from the new island, they entered and she flew around the class, "Alright, newbies, I am Rainbow Dash, also known as Professor Egghead, I hope you all are excited for my assignment." Rainbow Dash stated, "Before you do, we can't read." a male demon reminded her, "Don't worry, my assignment doesn't involve any reading, and personally, I don't like reading very much either, I'm all about teaching teamwork." Rainbow Dash replied, "Oh, that's easy." a male human commented, "Alright, so if it's easy, I want you all to show me teamwork." Rainbow Dash replied, and they all went outside and began stalking some of the animals, "Okay, guys, you all can't hunt here." Rainbow Dash stated as she separated them, "But that is our main way of showing teamwork." the female Orthrus said, "Hmm, do you guys know how to build buildings or houses?" Rainbow Dash asked, the natives shook their heads, they looked around and saw things they could use, "Wait, I know, we can make rope." a male Bigfoot said, the others looked and agreed, they picked some of the plants and broke them apart, they twisted their fibers together to make rope, "Cool, I guess that's one form of teamwork." Rainbow Dash commented, the others smiled, "Come on, the others can teach you how to make things." Rainbow Dash suggested, and they did. The creatures got various items around outside and they began showing the island natives how to build a shed, "I'm still surprised you guys don't know how to build these." Gallus said, "We were never taught, only the oldest people of our home know how." a female Cerberus explained, "So, is hunting the only thing you guys do for teamwork?" Silverstream asked, "Pretty much, only other thing we do together is fighting." a male human replied, "Wow, you guys really need to expand what you do." Smolder commented, "Yona think same thing." Yona added, "Alright, we'll do something basic, build a shed." Sandbar said, and they did. The students showed the island natives how to build a shed with wood and nails, the demons, Bigfoots, Wendigos, and Minotaurs wondered about putting the nails in, they pressed them down with their hands' and they went into the wood easily, they shrugged and built their own shed while watching the other students, "Wow, look at them, they're not even communicating, it's almost like they can read each other's minds." Ocellus said, the others looked and noticed they were right, "It's probably because they have worked together so much in the past, they can do things non-verbally." Rainbow Dash replied, they all watched them and they finished the shed in about an hour, "Done." a female Cerberus said, "Okay, not bad, you guys really do work well together." Rainbow Dash observed, the island natives smiled, the bell rung after that, "Well, go on, everycreature, you all did good." Rainbow Dash stated, and they did. The island's natives went to Pinkie Pie's class next and their attentions were caught by how bright and decorative her class was, "Come on in, I've gotta throw your 'First Day of School' party." Pinkie Pie ordered as she told them to come in with her hoof, and they did, the party cannon went off and they quickly got defensive and some were ready to attack, "Guys, relax, it's just her party cannon." Sandbar explained, "Thing sounds like a weapon from our home." a male human commented, "Relax, I always use this, come on, have some fun." Pinkie Pie said as her confetti and streamers went off again, and they did. The island's natives looked at the games she had and they just moved things on the boards around randomly, "No, there are rules to these games, you can't just do what you want." Pinkie Pie stated, "Professor Pinkie, remember, they can't read." Gallus reminded, "I haven't forgotten, Gallus." Pinkie Pie replied, and she tried to explain the rules of the board games to them, they all shrugged and continued doing what they wanted to do, "Didn't you all hear a word I said?!" Pinkie Pie scolded, "We did, we'll play seriously later." a male demon replied, "Oh, okay, sorry." Pinkie Pie remarked, and she gave them several foods, "Sorry, but I don't have any meat." Pinkie Pie spoke, and they tried them, the sweetness of her food was very strong and they almost spat them out, "Too sweet." a female human said, "Oh, sorry, well, wait a bit, lunch is about to start." Pinkie Pie replied, and they continued looking at her things until the bell for lunch rung. Everycreature went to the cafeteria and they were all served fruits and grains, the island's natives looked at each tray with surprise, "Wow, this is how much food you all get for lunch every day?" a male human asked, the students nodded, "This is more food than most of us eat in a week." the male human stated, the students looked at them with shock, "More food than in a week?" Silverstream shrieked, "Yeah, food's always been scarce back at home." a female human replied, "Now that you mention it, you all do look awfully skinny." Sandbar remarked, "We're average weight by our island's standards." a male Bigfoot replied, "You guys must be very skinny then." Gallus snarked, "You're fat by our standards." a male Wendigo snarked back, Gallus chuckled and everycreature except the carnivores had lunch. The creatures returned to Pinkie Pie's class and they continued trying out her party things, "Who wants to fly with my party cannon?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Ooh, ooh, I do." Silverstream hollered, and she was put in and Pinkie Pie shot her forward, "Whee!" Silverstream exclaimed as she flew through the air and flapped her wings to land safely, "Come on, everycreature, join in." Pinkie Pie ordered, "Um... no thanks, we've had enough of those back at home." a female Minotaur replied, the others nodded, "Okay, have fun with the other stuff." Pinkie Pie spoke, and the students took turns in the party cannon and she shot them, they all had fun until the bell rung, "See you all tomorrow." Pinkie Pie stated, and they all went to the next class. Applejack waited for the class to come and they entered, "Howdy, y'all, Ah trust y'all been studyin' how honesty can hurt someone." Applejack spoke, "Wait, an honesty class?" a male Cerberus questioned, "Well, yeah, they teach us the Elements of Friendship." Sandbar explained, "Don't y'all learn honesty back on the island?" Applejack asked, "Well, yes, but we're taught to either tell the truth or lie depending on the situation." the female Orthrus replied, "Whaddya mean by that?" Applejack asked, "More surviving, if lying is going to save your life and let you live another day, then lie." a male Bigfoot explained, "Y'all, this ain't about survivin' and livin' another day, this is about being a morally decent person in yer everyday life." Applejack explained, "Your everyday life is different from ours." a male human replied, "Yeah, fighting to survive another day is our everyday life." a female human added, "Well, try to adjust, we don't have that here, Ah trust these students here can help ya." Applejack replied, and she got ready to teach. She began teaching about the apples and bucked them in her free time while the students cheered, "Um... is that what you do for fun?" a male human questioned, "For today, Ah have activities for other days." Applejack replied, "Okay, but... why do you kick the apple instead of eating it?" a female Cerberus asked, "Cause Ah've got plenty and food ain't scarce in this country." Applejack explained, and they all kicked the apples while the island natives watched with confusion, the bell rung after a while, "Hold on, y'all, here are yer homework, as for y'all islanders, Ah'll give y'all homework when y'all learn how to read." Applejack remarked, and she did, and the students went to the last class. The students walked to the last class while the island's natives followed them, "This is the last class, guys." Sandbar said, "Wait, so only five classes?" the female Orthrus asked, "Yup, they're quite busy, though." Smolder replied, "For your own goods, try to look professional, this last teacher is very observant and a bit strict on appearance." Silverstream informed, and they headed to the class. Rarity was ready to teach her class and they entered, the island natives stopped when they saw her, "You again." a male demon commented, Rarity looked at their outfits and screamed, "You all are still wearing your leather outfits, this is no place for clothing like that." Rarity spoke, "Is something wrong with their clothing, Professor Rarity?" Ocellus asked, "Yes, those outfits are made from the skin and fur of other people and animals." Rarity replied, the students screamed, "Well, we need some way to stay warm in the winter and at night." a male human stated, "Why can't you all just make a fire?" Ocellus asked, "We're easy targets if we stay in one place." a female Wendigo replied, "How about physical contact with one another?" Smolder brought up, "We do that when we sleep." a male Bigfoot answered, "Come on now, put on the clothes I gave you all a few days ago." Rarity ordered, "Oh, um... we left them at home." a female Orthrus responded, "Okay then, you were going to make a new outfit today anyway, but my supplies are limited, so make sure you share." Rarity spoke, and they did. The students showed the island natives how to sew and use the sewing machines, the students cut the cloths for them and they did the sewing, they shared the threads and sewn together, "How are you all coming?" Rarity asked as she trotted to them, they showed her and they have made a mess, their clothing was a bunch of fabrics sewn up into a ball, "It's alright, darlings, first time's always disastrous." Rarity said, and they tried again and could not sew an outfit together, "Give it time, it took me years to perfect my sewing skills, too." Rarity commented, and they tried until the bell rung, "See you all tomorrow, class." Rarity said, and they left. The island's natives looked for the exit while the students headed back to their dorms, "Um... students go to dorms." Yona spoke, "We'll be heading home." a male Cerberus replied, "Yeah, the island needs us." a male human added, and they headed home but stopped when they saw Starlight Glimmer and Spike, "There you all are, I trust you all like the school." Starlight Glimmer stated, the island's natives thought about it and shrugged, "You all don't like it?" Spike asked, "It's alright." the female Orthrus replied, the other island natives nodded, "I'm Starlight Glimmer, the school's counselor, if you all have anything on your mind that's bothering you, my door is open." Starlight Glimmer said, "What kind of school is this anyway?" a female human questioned, "This is the School of Friendship, Fluttershy teaches kindness, Rainbow Dash teaches loyalty, Pinkie Pie teaches laughter, Applejack teaches honesty, and Rarity teaches generosity." Starlight Glimmer explained, "Well, I suppose it could help." a female demon commented, "Yeah, we can use friendship to survive another day." a female Wendigo added, "Guys, the power of friendship isn't just about surviving, it's also about getting along and helping others all the time." Starlight Glimmer explained, "Well, we'll be going now, thanks for clearing that up for us." a male Bigfoot stated, and they all went back to the island. The next day came and the kids talked about what they learned at the School of Friendship, the adults decided not to send them back, Twilight Sparkle flew back to the island, "Excuse me, everycreature." Twilight Sparkle hollered, they all came out, "I'd like those kids back in my school." Twilight Sparkle stated, "For what?" Dommiel asked, "I'm not done teaching them." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Another day, we need them here, too." Tom said, "We'll send them when we wish, but we need them for today." Volvox said, "Alright then, kids, share what you learned with them." Twilight Sparkle instructed, and she flew away. The island's natives went on with their days and some of the kids slept in the old decrepit buildings while some slept on the road and some slept on the buildings' support beams, Princess Cadence noticed it and she and Shining Armor went to the island with sleeping bags and pillows, "Excuse me, everycreature." Princess Cadence spoke, they all looked at her, "Can you wake up the others?" Princess Cadence asked, and they did, Shining Armor gave them sleeping bags and pillows with his telekinesis, "Here you all go, maybe this will be more comfortable to sleep in than on the road and in those decaying buildings." Shining Armor said, "Um, why are you giving these to us for?" a male human child asked, "Because this road and all of that wood and stone in the buildings look uncomfortable to sleep on, and don't forget the fire on some of them, kids should be able to sleep peacefully without worrying about their lives." Princess Cadence explained, they all remained speechless and simply took them, "Wait a bit, the hippogriffs will be here with more water." Princess Cadence said, and she flew away while Shining Armor teleported. A few hours passed and ships came, they saw the hippogriffs coming with barrels of water, they walked to them, "Here you all go, requested from Equestria to bring you all fresh drinking water." General Seaspray announced, and the island's natives took it, "Why are you all listening to them?" Tom asked, "Because Equestria is the most powerful country in this world, we also have a good relationship with them." General Seaspray explained, he watched Volvox and his gang take a few barrels and they dumped them into a big glass container and Thunderbird electrified the water, "Can you lend us your weapons?" Dommiel requested, "Heavens no, we already got invaded once, we need them so it doesn't happen again." General Seaspray replied, "Understandable, sorry for asking." Dommiel responded, and they took the water, the hippogriffs left with their ships. A night of fighting and warfare went on and the next morning came, Princess Celestia flew there with a treaty, "I am ordering a ceasefire between the three groups, this has gone on long enough." Princess Celestia announced, "And if we don't sign it?" Volvox asked, "Then go elsewhere, we've all had enough of being kept up at night with the sounds of war." Princess Celestia replied, and he signed it alongside Dommiel and Tom, "Thank you, no more fighting, you'll be put in jail if you do." Princess Celestia announced, and she flew away. The day went on and the island's natives kept their kids away from the School of Friendship, they saw Twilight Sparkle and her friends coming that afternoon, "We can't send the kids to your school today, either." Dommiel announced, "No, we're not here for that, we'd like permission to enter the Soylent Green factory." Twilight Sparkle replied, the natives became speechless, "Um... it's open to everybody." Tom explained, "Oh, sorry, well, girls, let's go see what their main food source is." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they went to it. The Mane Six entered the Soylent Green Processing Factory and saw it was dirty and rusty inside, "Oh, what a filthy factory, I can't believe someone can actually work in these conditions." Rarity announced, "It's not too bad." Rainbow Dash responded, "Not bad? Not bad?! How is this not bad?! You've rust on the walls there, dust and cobwebs over there, broken windows right there, rotting wood there, and all of these pieces of the wall and ceiling on the floor here. Ugh, how can someone work, or even worse, live in such conditions?!" Rarity ranted, "Ah agree with Rarity, Rainbow, this place ain't suitable to work in." Applejack added, "Enough chit-chat, let's go." Twilight Sparkle announced and they did. The Mane Six walked and they heard what sounded like cages being rattled and babies crying, "*gasp* I hear kids crying, don't worry, I'm coming!" Pinkie Pie hollered as she ran with a pink trail behind her, they followed her and soon heard dogs whimpering, "*gasp* I hear them, they sound sad, I'm coming." Fluttershy announced and she flew faster, the four followed them and they gasped when they saw them in cages. The six mares went over to them and Fluttershy comforted the dogs, "Shh, shh, it's okay, I'm not here to hurt you." Fluttershy whispered, and they stopped whimpering, "What's going on here?" Fluttershy asked, the dogs leaned their heads to their lefts and the six mares looked to their rights, they saw the man covering a baby's mouth with his hand and then put it on a conveyor belt, the babies, children, dead people, puppies, pups, wolves, dogs, and dead animals moved on it and went inside another device, they came out the other side cut into various cuts and sizes of meat. The mares screamed in horror while Fluttershy began crying and Rarity fainted, "Wait until tonight, I'll have the meat ready soon." the man stated, the six watched with horror and they soon ran out screaming, "Everycreature! Come out here!" Twilight Sparkle shouted at the top of her voice, they all came out, "What is it?" Volvox asked, "Soylent Green is people and animals! You all are eating one another!" Twilight Sparkle shouted, the other countries screamed in horror at what she said while the island natives remained silent, "Um... we already know that." Tom said, "What?! Y'all knew?!" Applejack asked, "Of course, we need some way to feed the island's carnivores, so we all came up with it together." Dommiel explained, the six mares looked on with shock and horror, "How are you all okay with that?!" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "Meat is meat." a male demon replied, the mares jaws' dropped, Twilight Sparkle went back into the factory, she used her magic to take pictures and made a letter appear, she wrote on it and teleported it to Princess Celestia, she went back out, "Come on, girls, let's go home." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and they began to head home, she looked and saw Princess Celestia and Princess Luna on the balcony of Canterlot Castle, they received her letter and looked at the pictures and read about the Soylent Factory, she and Princess Luna jaws' dropped while Princess Luna covered her own mouth with her hoof, she and her friends headed home. The next morning came and Princess Celestia went back to the island, "I order that factory to be shut down." Princess Celestia declared, "That's our main food source." a male Wendigo replied, "No! I order it to be shut down now! That is the most sickening food source I have ever seen!" Princess Celestia thundered, her subjects watched with discomfort since she was actually raising her voice, "That's going to bring up a problem if we do." Tom explained, "I get that, me and the other countries are trying to find other sources of meat to use as food, and if possible, an alternate source, but using injured, sick, defected, or deceased people and animals as food is not okay, they should be buried with respect, and those who are still alive still have lives." Princess Celestia replied with her voice back at its regular tone, "We are currently looking for alternate sources, one of my subjects is going to try to give you fish." Princess Celestia stated, "We might be able to digest that." a male demon replied, "Good, but no more eating people." Princess Celestia ordered, and she flew away. The man came out of the Soylent Green Processing Factory and Volvox used his telekinesis to take it down, he freed the people and animals that were still alive, all of the island's natives then began eating the leftover meat, "What are you going to do now?" Tom asked, "I don't know, maybe go fishing or try to catch some bugs." the man replied, and they all ate the remaining meat like wild animals. Early evening came and Fluttershy flew to the island with a big net filled with fish, "Here you all go, sorry I took so long." Fluttershy said, and she put the fish down and the demons, Wendigos, onis, and humans began fighting over the fish while growling and snarling, "WAIT!!" Fluttershy shouted, they looked at her, "Be careful, some parts of them are poisonous." Fluttershy warned, "I'm sure we'll be fine." a female oni responded, and they all began fighting over the fish and ate with their bare hands', they chewed with their mouths open with crumbs falling out, she became squeamish at the sight and saw the dogs and wolves going over to eat them the crumbs, "Um, if it's okay with you guys? Can I take the dogs and wolves to my place to nurture them?" Fluttershy asked, "Sure, just make sure you bring them back when you're done." Dommiel replied, "Don't worry, I will." Fluttershy responded, and she carried them to her sanctuary. Fluttershy took the animals to her sanctuary and the dogs and wolves began circling around the other animals, "No! They are not food!" Fluttershy fumed as she held them apart with her hoofs, the dogs and wolves growled at her, "No! They all live here, you will not have them as food!" Fluttershy declared, they began circling her while showing their teeth and drooling, she did the stare and the dogs and wolves backed away while whimpering, "There, sorry about that, as long as you all behave, you will like it here, I promise." Fluttershy assured in her regular soothing voice, and she got things ready for them. She made beds for the dogs and wolves to sleep in, she then got them fish to eat and they fought over the fish while growling, "No, no fighting, we share here." Fluttershy announced as she broke up a dog and a wolf fighting over a fish, "We share here, so if you're going to fight for food, you will have none." Fluttershy snapped, and the two stopped, she broke the fish in half and gave a piece to each one, the dog and the wolf ate them and they looked at each other's piece, "No, eat your own." Fluttershy commanded as she turned their heads to make them face their own fish, they did and walked away while Fluttershy gave fish to the rest. Night time came and she was ready to put every animal to sleep, some of the animals tried to go into their beds and the dogs and wolves growled at them, "Oh, stop that, they sleep there, too." Fluttershy ordered, and they continued to growl, she used the stare on them and they obeyed her and let the animals sleep, "There, goodnight, everyanimal." Fluttershy commented, and they all slept. The next morning came and Fluttershy gave the animals breakfast, she then got ready to bathe the dogs and wolves, they resisted and struggled to break free of her grip, "No! You are not going to be all dirty and smelly here, you will be clean as I nurse you back to health!" Fluttershy declared, they continued resisting her and one dog bit her hoof, she yelped loudly, the birds flew away, "How dare you! I am trying to nurse back to health and make you healthy, and this is how you repay me, you should be ashamed of yourself! How would your mother feel if she knew what you did just now?!" Fluttershy scolded while staring into the dog's eyes, the dogs and wolves looked at each other with confusion, "Now, you will take a bath and be clean, so stop fighting." Fluttershy ordered, and she tried to put them in a tub of water and they continued resisting, "Fine, we'll just do this with the hose." Fluttershy said, and she got a water hose and tried to spray the water on them, they ran away, "Come back here!" Fluttershy demanded as she flew after them. The dogs and wolves ran around her sanctuary as she chased them, she tried flying in front of them and they split up and ran around, Fluttershy growled as she tried to get them but they kept running away until they were restrained by magic and put in one spot, Discord appeared in front of them, "If you're not going to listen to her, then maybe you will listen to me." Discord announced, and he made water and soap appear on them, they growled at him and Discord used his magic to open the ground and show skeletons in lava, the dogs and wolves whimpered, "Now, you either listen and obey me, or into the lava pit you go." Discord threatened, and they stopped resisting while he used his magic to wash them, he then dried them, "Thank you, Discord." Fluttershy said, and he disappeared. Fluttershy let the dogs and wolves sit as she fed the other animals and let them exercise, "Come on, you all too." Fluttershy ordered, and she tried to have the dogs and wolves walk around her sanctuary, they sat and did not budge, she tried pushing them forward while grunting, she could not move them, "Why do you all have to be so stubborn?" Fluttershy asked while grunting, they heard walking and her five friends came over, "Is everything alright, Fluttershy? We can hear you all the way in Ponyville." Twilight Sparkle stated, "I'm trying to get these dogs and wolves back to health, but they're so stubborn and won't listen to me." Fluttershy responded, and she grunted as she tried to push a wolf with her back, she turned around and tried to push him forward, "Why won't get up and walk?" Fluttershy asked while grunting, the wolf turned its head to the right and bent down and bit her hind hoof, she screamed loudly and the birds flew away. Fluttershy's friends looked on with shock while she whimpered, she stopped and tried to get them to walk again, "Come on, you all, I don't have time for this." Fluttershy spoke as she grunted, she grunted more as she tried to push them. Applejack trotted to her, "Fluttershy, take a break, Ah'll handle this." Applejack remarked, and she ran home and came back with a Frisbee, "Look at what Ah got." Applejack stated as she waved the Frisbee in front of them, "Y'all want it?" Applejack asked, the dogs and wolves did not move, "Wow, they're actually resisting it." Applejack commented, "Wait, Applejack, I have an idea." Fluttershy replied, and she gave her a fish instead, "Y'all want this?" Applejack asked, the dogs and wolves got up and ran to her, "Fetch!" Applejack commanded as she threw it. The dogs and wolves ran to the fish and they growled and snarled as they fought one another, Rarity exclaimed while the other five gasped, "Stop it! No!" Fluttershy scolded as she took the fish and flew back with it to Applejack, the dogs and wolves stopped, "When you play fetch, you catch the item, and give it back to the thrower, they'll throw it again for you to catch again." Fluttershy explained, the dogs and wolves growled at her, "No, I said it before, no fighting, we share here." Fluttershy reminded, they growled louder, "Ugh, look at their teeth!" Rarity exclaimed, they did and saw their teeth were yellow with meat and fish between them, "Come on, we need to clean you guys' teeth." Fluttershy stated, and she went into her home. She came out with toothpaste, toothbrushes, and dental floss, she let them taste the meat flavored toothpaste first and she and her friends began brushing their teeth while they swallowed the toothpaste, they finished and Fluttershy got ready to rinse their mouths, "Open wide now." Fluttershy commanded, and she tried to rinse their mouths with the hose while they looked away, "Hold still." Twilight Sparkle ordered as she used her telekinesis to hold them still and open their mouths, their mouths got rinsed, "There, don't you all feel better?" Fluttershy asked, they felt their own teeth with their tongues, she went back into her home and came back out with dental floss, she an her friends tried to floss their teeth but they resisted, "No, don't resist, this will get the food out from between your teeth." Fluttershy explained, and she fought to get the floss between a wolf's teeth and flossed the food out, the wolf tried to lick the fish off of the floss, "No, this is trash, you don't eat this." Fluttershy stated, the wolf groaned and she and her friends cleaned the teeth of the others, "There you all go, your teeth are now clean." Fluttershy spoke, the dogs and wolves felt their own teeth and became happy, "Ooh, I know, this calls for a picture!" Pinkie Pie cheered, "Another time, Pinkie, wait until I'm done." Fluttershy replied, "Oh, okay." Pinkie Pie commented, "Let us know if you need our help again, Fluttershy." Twilight Sparkle stated, "I will, thank you all very much." Fluttershy replied, "Don't mention it, Fluttershy, it's what friends do." Rainbow Dash remarked, "Still, thank you." Fluttershy replied, and they left. The next day came and the kids from the island came, "Hello, where are your parents?" Fluttershy asked, "Busy." a female Wendigo replied, "Yeah, we're here to see our dogs and wolves." a male human added, "They've been quite hard to take care of and they're resisting me, I hope today will be better." Fluttershy replied, "Well, we're going back to the school today." a male Bigfoot stated, "Really? That's wonderful, please, come." Fluttershy replied, and they followed her to the school. The island's natives went to school with Fluttershy and sat with the other students, "Oh, good, you all came today, I trust you all taught your parents what you learned about friendship?" Twilight Sparkle spoke, "Uh..." the island's natives said together, "We... kind of forgot to." a male Cerberus responded, "That's alright, you all are busy, we can introduce friendship to your island once when things there settle down." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the lecture went on until it was time to go to class. The island's natives walked with Sandbar and the five foreign creatures again, "Yona want know what creatures called." Yona spoke, "Who is this Yona you're referring to anyway?" a female human asked, "Oh, that, that's a yak trait, they refer to themselves in third person." Sandbar replied, "I see, we're humans, those slightly light blue guys who are muscular with the horns on the forehead, sharp teeth, fangs, and wings are demons, the apes are Bigfoots, these bipedal guys with the deer heads are Wendigos, the ones with human bodies and bull heads are Minotaurs, those red guys with the horns and sharp teeth are onis, the two headed dogs are Orthrus', and the three headed ones are Cerberus'." the female human explained, "What about those two birds?" Ocellus asked, "They're phoenixes and thunderbirds, there used to be plenty, those two with Volvox are the only two left." a male human replied, "What about Volvox? What is he?" Silverstream asked, "Well, none of us know what he is, he's a one of a kind species on our island." a female Cerberus answered, "Wow, you sure he's not some kind of mutated Cerberus?" Gallus asked, "Yeah, we're sure, he has magic and psychic powers, us Cerberuses don't." a male Cerberus responded, "Wow, so none of you know what he is." Smolder remarked, they shook their heads, "Well, come on, classes are about to start." Sandbar said, and they all went on with school. The people on the island got on with their days and their kids came back later in the afternoon with the ponies coming to them with various tools, "Alright, everyone, let's get this island fixed." Sunburst stated, "What's wrong with the island?" Dommiel asked, "Just look around, the buildings are on the verge of collapsing, your sewers are not working, there's dust and cobwebs everywhere, the walls and shingles are cracked, everything's rusty, your building's support beams are rotting, your windows are broken, and they're all about to collapse, this is no place for a kid to live in." Princess Cadence explained, "Really? We've been fine so far." a female Cerberus puppy replied, "You all grew up too fast, you all should be playing and having fun, not struggling to survive." Princess Cadence responded, "Yeah, isn't there like a playground or anything for the kids to play at?" Sunburst questioned, Volvox used his telekinesis to move some of the buildings aside, the ponies saw a few kids playing on old and worn out buildings, they climbed the support beams for fun while one tried to play on a tire swing, they all broke apart and the kids began to fall, the unicorns quickly used their telekinesis to grab them while the others gasped and Rarity exclaimed a few times, "See, this isn't a place for kids, we're here to help you rebuild, everything has to be torn down and built from the ground up, you all need to clean, too." Princess Cadence announced, "Truth be told, none of us get sick here." a male Bigfoot replied, "This isn't just about you guys not getting sick, it's also so you don't spread any sickness into our countries." Sunburst responded, "Oh." the island's natives said, "Alright, let's get started, we'll help you all." Princess Cadence announced and they did. The ponies used their magic to take down all of the old and decrepit buildings and the Pegasi used rain clouds to put the flames out, they all rebuilt the buildings together while several others cleaned out the sewers and got water back in for it to work again, they all worked for hours and everything was rebuilt, "There, you all now have improved living conditions." Princess Cadence announced, "Honestly, I'd like to see some ornaments and decorations on the buildings." Rarity said, "They looked like that before they got worn down." Volvox replied, "Well, maybe you should add some decorations and more color to it this time." Rarity commented, "Rarity, I think they'll do that later, come on, let's let them adjust." Twilight Sparkle responded, and they all left. A week passed with peaceful nights and Fluttershy was almost done getting the dogs and wolves back to a healthy weight, the sewer people now lived on the island and in Equestria while their kids attended the School of Friendship, "Excuse me, kids, over here." Starlight Glimmer announced, and they entered her office, "I'd like for you to talk about your times on the island during the war, one of my jobs is to counsel traumatized and disturbed people." Starlight Glimmer stated, "We haven't been bothered by the war and noises of battle." a female human responded, "Right now, but in a few years from now, you will start to be bothered by the memories, so it's best to start early, so tell me about your experiences in the war." Starlight Glimmer replied, and they did. A week passed and Fluttershy went back with the dogs and wolves, "Here you all go, they were hard at first, but they mellowed out near the end." Fluttershy commented, "Thanks." Volvox responded as the animals went back to them, and Fluttershy flew back. The day went on peacefully until Princess Celestia flew to the island in the afternoon, "Have you all decided on a form of government yet?" Princess Celestia asked, they all shook their heads, "Really? You've all had plenty of time to decide." Princess Celestia stated, "We can decide if you let us fight over who gets to be the ruler." Tom replied, "No, you are not doing that, I'd like for you all to come up with an alternate." Princess Celestia ordered, "Um..." the island's natives said as they thought about it, they soon looked at her, "What do you suggest?" Volvox asked, "You guys can't come up with another way?" Princess Celestia asked, the island's natives shook their heads, "I think it would be best for you all to form a counsel with a representative of each creature there." Princess Celestia suggested, "Look at that, looks like I win automatically." Volvox boasted, "No, you do not, the other two leaders will be part of the counsel, too, as for the other creatures, pick your leader." Princess Celestia replied, and she flew away. She watched the island at they all voted for who should be their representative, they all decided to make the oldest person of their kind the ruler, so the rulers were now Volvox representing himself, Dommiel representing demons, Tom representing humans, a male Bigfoot, a female Wendigo, a female Minotaur, a male oni, a male Cerberus, and a female Orthrus, they all gathered together while Volvox had Phoenix and Thunderbird by his sides, he glared at the demons and humans alongside the other creatures, they all sided with him. The other creatures watched each other and were silent, they all left without saying anything while the others watched them. The next day came and the people used the bathroom in the roads, the creatures in the other countries gasped when they saw it, "Hey!" Twilight Sparkle hollered as she went over, they looked at her, "There are toilets for a reason." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Sorry, but we haven't used toilets for so long, we've forgot about them." a male oni responded, "Well, at least clean it, other creatures are going to be curious and want to explore this place." Twilight Sparkle explained, and the island's natives did, "Is this the place, Twilight?" Sunset Shimmer asked as she used her telekinesis to fly to the island, "Yes, this is it." Twilight Sparkle responded, she looked around, "Wow, I didn't think there were humans in another place." Sunset Shimmer stated, "You're not from here?" Dommiel asked, "Well, I am, but I'm staying in a different world also filled with humans." Sunset Shimmer explained, and she looked at the place, "Wow, a big improvement over the picture you sent me of how it first looked." Sunset Shimmer commented, "It is, this place was filthy was it first arrived." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, there will be others coming here soon, guys, they're tourists who want to explore your country." Sunset Shimmer stated, "That's fine, just as long as they don't get in the way with anything." Volvox replied, and she explored the island. She continued visiting and the other creatures soon came and went to the others, "If you want, we can establish relations for trade." Princess Ember announced, "No thanks." Volvox replied, the others nodded, "Why not?" King Thorax asked, "Well, we just formed the counsel, we'd like to be independent for now." the Wendigo ruler explained, "Can yak do trade?" Prince Rutherford asked, "Maybe later." Dommiel replied, "You all should go back to your fighting selves, it was more entertaining that way." Grampa Gruff remarked, "Yeah, it was kind of fun." the Cerberus ruler responded, the other natives nodded, "But it's not what you all need, you all need to come together peacefully." King Thorax explained, "We get that, but no relations until we figure things out." Tom replied, "Just remember we'll be watching, so if any of you begin fighting or causing trouble, we'll arrive to help." Rain Shine stated, "What do you mean help?" Dommiel questioned, "Try to figure out what's wrong and resolve it peacefully, this area is powered by friendship." Rain Shine explained, the island's natives looked at one another with confusion, "We'll leave you guys for now, but we'll watch your progress." Princess Ember remarked, and the country rulers went back to their homes. The countries watched the island as they formed a new government and quickly began using currency called bits to buy things, some of the creatures still fought when they wanted the same thing and the creatures from the other countries had to break them up, the other creatures soon began going to the island as tourists even though the natives did not have anything to attract them, they did not put any decorations or ornaments on anything either, the other creatures soon went over to try to establish trade relations, "Alright, guys, the dragons will give you all some of our obsidian for you to use." Princess Ember stated, "Okay, we can give you some of our clubs." the oni ruler replied, Princess Ember nodded in agreement, "The griffons can try to find some birds for you all for those two to try to recreate their kind." Grampa Gruff stated as he pointed to Phoenix and Thunderbird, Fluttershy, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle were tending to them and feeding them, "Alright, we can always have our fauna come back, we'll let them go to your country, too." Volvox responded, "Well, us changelings can't give you much, but we are willing to offer some of our arts." King Thorax stated, "We'll see what we can do, we'll give you pieces of our road." Dommiel replied, "Yak bring musical instruments to island." Prince Rutherford said, "Yeah, and we'll give you our clothes." Tom replied, "We'll give you all more water since there's still not enough for you all." General Seaspray announced, "Thanks, and we'll give you guys our weapons for you all to defend your home with." the Orthrus ruler responded, "We'll give you all our tea in case you all get tired of having water all the time." Rain Shine stated, "Thanks, but I doubt it, we'll give you guys various items for you all to use for your plays." the Cerberus ruler replied, "Alright, we'll give you the many aspects of our culture so you all can grow, Equestria would like to have your animals in our country so they can be adopted and given happy homes." Princess Celestia announced, "Alright, that can be done." Volvox replied, "Thank you, I think we're off to a good start." Princess Celestia stated, and they all left. Several days passed and the children from the island were in Equestria and seeing Rarity, they returned the clothes she made for them, "Is something wrong with the skirts?" Rarity asked, "We can't move completely in them." a female human answered, "Oh, common, that takes some getting used to." Rarity stated, "Well, we're here to return them." a female oni stated, and Rarity took them, she smelled them and their hands' left a putrid stench on the clothes, she covered her snout from it, "You all are still dirty, do you all take baths or showers?" Rarity asked, the kids shook their heads, "Come on now, into the shower, all of you." Rarity stated, and she and Sweetie Belle washed them, they were taken aback by seeing they all had black stains on their bodies and flies living in their armpits, "When was the last time you all cleaned yourselves?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Never." a male Bigfoot answered, she and Rarity looked on with shock, "Well, start cleaning, you can't go around the other countries all filthy." Rarity ordered as she and her sister washed them, dust and other trash fell out of the humans' hair, Rarity exclaimed and gasped when dead bugs fell out of a male Bigfoot's fur, she and Sweetie Belle used shampoo and mane conditioner on them and washed them thoroughly, they then used their mane dryers to dry them quickly, "There you all go, nice and clean, now wash your clothes." Rarity commanded, and they did as she and Sweetie Belle helped them, they brushed their leather outfits with toothbrushes and lotion to make it shiny, "There, now you all are ready to explore." Sweetie Belle remarked as the kids looked at one another, "Go on now, and tell the adults to clean, too." Rarity stated and they left. The kids came back and told the adults about having to be clean in the other countries and they did. The country's flora did not grow back, so Applejack gave some of her soil to the island so they can grow crops, they were given instructions and everycreature noticed they were patient in waiting, the flora began growing after about six months and the island was no longer a wasteland, they all began peaceful trades and the people who transported the island found new homes. UtopiaVolvox was a very ancient being who has lived on an island inhabited by humans, cats, dogs, and various other monsters, the monsters all died out by fighting one another as time went by and only one demon remained after a while, the demon's name was Dommiel. Volvox eventually became the oldest living being on the island while Dommiel became the second oldest, this made them become the rulers, they decided it would be best to have the island become a peaceful and orderly kingdom, so they put every remaining human, cat, dog, and the five monsters still alive under mind control and live peacefully while the humans who disagreed were exiled. They cast their magic and made the island shaped like a big circle with gold houses and buildings everywhere, and every family had six members: a father, a mother, a son, a daughter, a pet cat, and a pet dog, they also cast spells so the humans were immortal, never age, and never had to eat or drink to survive or use the bathroom. The humans had light skin tones, black hair, males had short hair while females had long hair, and brown eyes, they all wore white long-sleeve button-up dress shirts with their collars buttoned down and tucked into dark blue pants, they also wore black belts, white socks, and black shoes while the cats and dogs all had white fur, the cats had green eyes while the dogs had brown eyes. Volvox became the country's emperor while Dommiel became its king, they appointed the oldest human as the prince, a man named Tom, he made public appearances while Dommiel resided in the tallest building in the island's very center and Volvox was nowhere to be found, "All hail Emperor Volvox." the humans said every day at 6 a.m. in emotionless monotone voices, everything was a normal day until one day, an earthquake happened, the plate tectonics shifted and they moved elsewhere. The world shook while the earthquake continued and everything shifted, everybody exclaimed as the plate tectonics shifted around and changed the formation of the countries, it went on for about a minute before stopping, "What in tarnation caused that earthquake?" Applejack asked, "Who knows, but it's definitely too big to be a natural one." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Excuse me, everycreature." Princess Celestia called out from the sky in her Royal Canterlot Voice, they all faced her, "I apologize for that earthquake, some of my students are trying new spells, some of them have just cast a powerful earthquake spell as part of their experiments for a school project, they did not mean any intentional harm to anyone." Princess Celestia explained, and she flew back down, "Well, there's our answer, some magic spell gone wrong in Canterlot." Rainbow Dash spoke, "I don't think it went wrong, Rainbow." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "*gasp* Look!!" Pinkie Pie hollered as she pointed, everyone did and saw Volvox's kingdom to the east of Canterlot, "Did the earthquake move that place here?" Fluttershy asked, "It sure looks like it." Applejack replied, "Ugh, it's all gold, they could at least use more variety in color." Rarity commented, "Well, we can at least greet and welcome them, come on, let's give them a welcoming." Twilight Sparkle responded, and they went into her hot air balloon and headed to the country. The Mane Six headed to the new kingdom and Twilight Sparkle looked on in awe at the place, "Everything in this country is nice and clean, neatly lined up, all buildings getting taller or shorter as they get closer or farther away from the center but still same size as the others in the same section as it, everything one color, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, this country is like a dream come true place for me." Twilight Sparkle ranted, "Ugh, really, dear, you need to be more open about expressing one's self." Rarity responded, "Yeah, everything being orderly like that is boring." Pinkie Pie added while saying 'boring' in a singsong voice, "We'll see how the people are when we get closer, the biggest thing I hope for is they're friendly and welcoming." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Same, I wouldn't want a neighboring kingdom or country next to our own to be unfriendly." Fluttershy remarked, and they kept going to the new country. They continued floating to the country and arrived, Twilight Sparkle gasped excitedly when she saw all of the citizens wearing the same outfit and cats and dogs looking exactly the same, "Everybody wearing the same outfit? All cats and dogs the same size and color as all the other cats and dogs? This country really is paradise for me." Twilight Sparkle remarked, the hot air balloon then got caught in an invisible barrier around the country and the six mares exclaimed as they stopped suddenly. Gold lights emitted from the country and scanned them, "Figures are quadrupedal and do not match the genetic and anatomical appearance of country's natives, entry into country denied." a male robotic voice spoke, and the invisible barrier went down while a gold electrified barrier appeared around the country, "Wait, we have to be the same size, shape, and color as the cats and dogs?" Rainbow Dash inquired, "It looks like it, or those bipedal natives there, that means none of us can enter their country." Twilight Sparkle answered, "What do we do then?" Fluttershy asked, "Well, I guess we just watch from afar and see what they do, we need to make sure they're not a threat, too." Twilight Sparkle responded, "So we go back?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Yeah, let's go to Canterlot and report to Princess Celestia." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they headed there. Tom was watching the six mares from Equestria leave while standing on the top floor of the tallest building in the country's center, "What do we do about them, Dommiel?" Tom asked, "Let's let them do as they please for now, they don't seem to be a threat to our country." Dommiel replied while standing behind Tom, "I was wondering if they'll try to take down our barrier." Tom brought up, "We'll have our citizens ready to fight them if they do." Dommiel responded, "Indeed, it may not look like it, but every citizen's a soldier in time of battle." Tom spoke, "I just hope we won't need to use our three monsters on them." Dommiel said, "Me neither, it'd be wasting their energy if they really are weaklings." Tom added, "Just let them act how they wish for now, I see no reason to engage in combat with them as of now." Dommiel suggested, "I agree, I think everything's going to be fine as of now." Tom spoke, and they continued watching the mares. The Mane Six arrived in Canterlot and went to go see Princess Celestia, they went to her throne room and bowed to her, "Princess Celestia, we tried to welcome the new country but were unable to enter it." Twilight Sparkle reported, "I'm aware, that country seems to put emphasis on everything being orderly, even one misstep out of their country's system would be considered a problem." Princess Celestia replied, "I really like how everybody and everything looks the same there, Princess Celestia, it looks like a good thing to me." Twilight Sparkle said, "No, Twilight, it's bad." Princess Celestia responded, "Bad? How?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "They all look and act the same because they lost their sense of self, they have no sense of individuality, they're acting more like machines than people, and they can't express themselves like how Pinkie and Rarity do." Princess Celestia explained, Twilight Sparkle's jaw dropped, "Not only that, their orderly paradise country is likely only like that on the surface, if you look into the country and see how things are within their government and politics, you will see the country's a mess, the emotionless expressions on their faces are likely masks of their true feelings, too." Princess Celestia continued, "So... what do you suggest we do, Princess Celestia?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Let's watch them and see how their daily routines are, it might be boring, and nothing happens, but it'll give us an idea on how the natives live." Princess Celestia answered, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, I don't feel like sitting around, watching a country while doing nothing for a full 24 hours." Rainbow Dash interjected, "You all don't have to do it together, just one of you can be enough if you can stay awake that long, but I do suggest taking turns, and have Spike and Starlight Glimmer watch as well to make how long you all have to watch shorter." Princess Celestia suggested, "Well, Ah guess it wouldn't hurt, let's gather up some of our friends and have them write down what they observe, we'll take turns too, the younger ones watch and observe durin' the day while us older fellers do it in the night." Applejack said, "True, come on, let's go home, we start tomorrow." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and they went back to Ponyville and got on with their days. The next morning came and the Mane Six got up and went outside early, "All hail Emperor Volvox." the humans all said together at 6 a.m. in monotone voices, everycreature of every country looked at them, "Emperor Volvox?" Applejack blurted, "That must be their country's ruler." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Maybe he's residing in that big building in the country's center." Fluttershy suggested, "I would think so, he should be able to see the entire country from there." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "We're here." Sandbar hollered as he ran to the Mane Six with Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream, "Wow, y'all six are early today." Applejack stated, "Well, we heard about watching and observing the new country, and we were excited at the idea of learning about the new place, so we woke up as early as we could." Silverstream explained, "You didn't have to come into our dorms and yell at us it was time to wake up." Gallus scolded, "Can you lead us there? I'm ready to start taking notes on the new place." Ocellus spoke, "Of course, we will lead you all there now." Twilight Sparkle responded, and they did. They arrived at a cliff that allowed them to see the entire country, "Okay, we'll take turns taking notes, you all can still have fun and play here as long as you work, and you all can take breaks, I would recommend all of you taking turns on writing your review, but how you go with it is up to you guys, we'll be here to take over and write down what we see tonight when you all are asleep." Twilight Sparkle explained, and she and her friends left. Sandbar and his friends began watching the country from afar, "I'll go first, guys, you all have fun." Sandbar spoke, "You sure, Sandbar?" Silverstream asked, "I'm sure, we'll all being taking turns anyway." Sandbar responded, "Alright then, we'll let you know when your turn's over." Smolder spoke, and they set up a timer to go off in 90 minutes and they began to play and have fun while Sandbar began taking notes. Sandbar watched the country while his friends played board and card games behind him, he wrote down everything he saw, he saw the men walking into various buildings while others stayed outside and polished all of the buildings while the women tended to the houses and the kids went to school. He watched the men work while the women walked and took care of the cats and dogs while they ran around freely and played with one another, everything was peaceful, quiet, and slow in the country. Sandbar yawned as he watched and nothing else happened, the timer dinged after 90 minutes, "Sandbar, you're done." Ocellus stated, "Oh, good, nothing happened, it was boring." Sandbar spoke, "Yeah, we noticed that from here, too." Gallus replied, "Yona wants to go next. Yona wish to get assignment over and done." Yona stated, "Okay, but don't go crazy, Yona." Ocellus replied, and she reset the timer. Tom looked at the six students watching and reporting what goes on in their country, "Let them finish, Tom, we have to let the other countries know we pose no threat to them." Dommiel spoke, "Still, I don't like having them watch us like that." Tom remarked, "Hold it out for now, if we can convince them we're not a threat, they'll leave us be." Dommiel stated, "I hope they don't attack us." Tom commented, "We're ready to fight them if they do, remember, Tom, you, me, and everyone else in this country is a soldier, everyone's combat trained if war breaks out." Dommiel reminded, "I still hope things can stay peaceful." Tom said, "Give them a day, if they watch us daily, then it will be a problem." Dommiel spoke, and they continued watching their country. Yona watched the country while her friends played and had fun, "Ugh! This is boring! How much longer must Yona watch?!" Yona fumed, "20 more minutes." Ocellus replied as she checked the timer, Yona seethed while she continued writing, the timer dinged after a while, "Finally." Yona commented, "I'll go next, I want this to be over and done with." Smolder spoke, and she began taking notes while the others had fun. Twilight Sparkle and her friends were in the Castle of Friendship and helping her go through her spell books, she also called Sunset Shimmer to help her, "What kind of spell are ya lookin' for again, Twilight?" Applejack asked, "A shapeshifting spell, if we can disguise ourselves as females of that country, maybe we can observe and make sure they're not threats to us." Twilight Sparkle answered, "You could've just asked Ocellus to try to change into one of their natives and enter the country, Twilight." Starlight Glimmer remarked, "Yeah, but getting her into the country would be hard, we don't know if they have anything that can detect magic or not, either, plus, Ocellus could end up in danger if she's detected." Twilight Sparkle responded, "So, the idea is find the spell, practice casting it until its right, and then check out the country and make sure they're not hiding anything dangerous?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Yes, everycreature is waiting for our answers, until we confirm they're no threat, we're can't sleep at night comfortably." Twilight Sparkle answered, "And you called me here because the country's natives look like the people from my world and I might have a better chance of getting the spell right." Sunset Shimmer deduced, "Right, but unlike your world, that country's natives all have the same skin, hair, and eye colors, we have to get the height and weight right too since the kids look to be the same height and weight as the other kids, same with the adults." Twilight Sparkle added, "That... might be a bit hard for me to replicate." Sunset Shimmer commented, "Well, keep looking, the spell should be somewhere." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they kept checking, "I found it!" Spike hollered about 10 minutes later, and he put the book on the table. They looked at the spell and Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer began casting their magic, they all got the spell wrong the first time and kept practicing for about 40 minutes until they were finally able to make themselves look like humans, "There, we got it, phew, that took a while, let's rest a bit, we'll continue trying to get the spell right afterwards." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and they did. The six students continued taking turns writing down what they saw in the new country, Gallus went after Smolder, then Silverstream, and Ocellus went last, the timer went off after she watched for 90 minutes, "Ugh, finally, the assignment's done." Gallus spoke, "Come on, let's gather together and combine what we wrote." Ocellus suggested, and they did. They put their papers together and looked at what they reported, "Wait, they're all the same, only two things we noticed in differences is the females go back home after walking their cats and dogs and the kids come from school about an hour ago." Gallus stated, "Yeah, that was a pretty pointless assignment." Smolder added, "Well, it's done, our teachers should be here anytime now." Sandbar stated, and they waited. About five minutes passed and they heard running, the Mane Six arrived, "Sorry we're a little late, we were busy and took a short break, we were looking for a spell and practicing it so I can try to disguise myself as one of the natives and enter the country." Twilight Sparkle explained, "You could've asked me to try to morph into one of their citizens and enter the place." Ocellus remarked, "I want to make sure it's safe first, Ocellus, I'm also going to see if they have barriers or sensors that can detect that stuff, too." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Ah, okay, gotcha." Ocellus stated, "Head on back, y'all, we'll take over observin' them from here, so leave yer notes for us." Applejack stated, and the Student Six headed back to the School of Friendship. The Mane Six watched the people in the country while struggling to stay awake, "Ugh! This is boring!" Rainbow Dash vented, "Yeah, nothing's happening." Pinkie Pie added, "Not only that, there's no one outside in the kingdom right now, I think all of 'em's asleep." Applejack remarked, they looked and saw the country was completely dark and quiet with no one outside and no lights on, "Yeah, I agree, come on, let's head home, I think we're done." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and they all headed home. Tom watched the ponies leave and he got ready to sleep, "Well, I think they're done, Dommiel." Tom said, "I think so, too, now, hopefully, they will leave us be." Dommiel responded, "I doubt it, we're still newcomers, and due to us not allowing them into our country to check it out, they're probably paranoid that we're hiding something." Tom remarked, "I figured, if they remain paranoid, I'll think of a way to try to reduce it." Dommiel responded, "There's also the exiled humans who have been trying to reenter our country." Tom reminded, "Well, they didn't like my and Volvox's idea of a utopia and try to prevent the people from fighting and killing one another, we also use mind control so they don't do that stuff." Dommiel remarked, "I don't hold anything against you two, I think that was the best decision, too, well, Dommiel, I'll go ahead and get some rest, goodnight." Tom said, "Goodnight, Tom." Dommiel replied, and they slept. The next morning came and everybody woke up early, "All hail Emperor Volvox." the citizens of the country said at 6 a.m., "Do you notice something strange in their tone of voice, Tia?" Princess Luna asked, "Yes, they're all speaking in an emotionless monotone, almost like either they don't enjoy their life there or somebody is controlling them telepathically, I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed." Princess Celestia replied, "Still, even though we can't enter their country, I'm getting the feeling they're hiding something." Princess Luna said, "So am I, their monotone voices makes it more suspicious as well." Princess Celestia spoke, "I hope we can find some way to establish trade and let us enter the country so we can really see for ourselves how things really run there." Princess Luna said, "Let's leave that to Twilight and her friends for now, we'll get involved if things get violent." Princess Celestia responded, and they continued watching. Twilight Sparkle and her friends looked at the country and got a good view on the females in the country, "Okay, we got our ideal appearance, here we go." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and she, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer cast the spell to disguise themselves. They focused and tried to disguise themselves as adult females, they tried for a few minutes and soon got the appearance right except for the hair and eye colors, "That's good enough, dears, I got some eye color changing contact lenses and mane dye that can take care of the flaws." Rarity said, and she cast spells to make their hair and eye colors the same as the citizens and made the three wear the same outfits as the citizens, "Okay, I'll go first. Rarity, go ahead and teleport me to the country." Twilight Sparkle instructed, and she did. Twilight Sparkle arrived in the country and saw all of the kids going to various schools throughout the land, the country went into lockdown shortly after she arrived with force fields appearing around every building, "Country's population over limit, outsider detected, beginning anti-magic, anti-hologram scan." a computer spoke, and a yellow light lit the country and Twilight Sparkle's spell was canceled out, "Outsider detected, beginning teleporting process." the computer spoke, and she was teleported out of the country. Twilight Sparkle appeared just out of the country and was in the water around it, the barrier appeared around the country again as well, she teleported to where her friends were, "Can't enter that way, Ocellus and the changelings' shapeshifting abilities will likely not work, either." Twilight Sparkle spoke, "So, uh... what do we do now?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I can have the animals go around the country and report to me what they see." Fluttershy suggested, "Yeah, I don't think so." Pinkie Pie replied as she looked on and saw the birds and marine animals moving away from the country, "Huh, I wonder what's going on." Fluttershy spoke, "Maybe that barrier goes underwater, too." Applejack theorized, "Maybe, but the way they're moving away, it's almost like there's some giant or scary monster in that country's waters." Fluttershy responded, "I can check if you all want." Pinkie Pie suggested, "It's fine, Pinkie, I'm sure the animals have their reasons." Starlight Glimmer remarked, "Well, so much for checking out their country." Sunset Shimmer said, "Let's wait for now and see what they do, I don't think there's anymore we can do on our part." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they got ready to head home. Tom sat at a table and wrote a letter, "What are you doing, Tom?" Dommiel asked, "I'm going to send a letter to those horses watching us, I hope this will bring down their paranoia and worrying about us hiding stuff a bit." Tom explained, "Good idea, since they're that paranoid, this might be the best idea." Dommiel spoke, "I'm going to leave you and Volvox out of the note, I plan to make it look like only I'm the ruler." Tom stated, "Good idea, but if they do find out, I'll explain that we are special exceptions and function as people who defend the country from invaders." Dommiel responded, "Sounds good, I'll start going around getting pictures now." Tom stated, and he headed outside with a camera. The Mane Six got ready to head back but saw Tom come out of the building in the country's center, "Hey, look, there's someone walking on his own." Rainbow Dash said as she pointed, they all saw Tom walking around, he looked just like the other males except his hair was whitish gray and he had wrinkles in his face, "Ah don't think he's Emperor Volvox." Applejack spoke, "I doubt it, he looks more like a representative for the country than its actual ruler." Twilight Sparkle commented, "Yeah, I imagine Emperor Volvox wearing fancy clothing exclusive only to him and being carried around by others while he sits in a palanquin." Rainbow Dash commented, "Ooh, I know, maybe he's the king." Pinkie Pie said, "I'm thinking he's more of a chancellor." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Or the regent if Volvox is still a kid." Fluttershy countered, "Well, whatever he is, I hope he establishes contact with us." Rarity stated, "Me too, let's keep watching and see what he does." Twilight Sparkle responded and they did. Tom walked around his country and took pictures of the buildings' interiors, he took pictures of the inside of one house and a school, he then went back into the country's tallest building and put the pictures and letter in a bottle, he put them in the center of his table while the building's roof opened, a launcher shot the bottle into the sky. The eight mares saw something launch out of the country's center building and landed in the water, it floated towards Equestria and they gasped when they saw it, "It's a letter!" Pinkie Pie hollered, and Sunset Shimmer brought it over with her telekinesis. She opened it with her telekinesis and they all looked at the letter while Twilight Sparkle unrolled it, "Dear, Horses, I am Prince Tom, spokesman and representative for my country's citizens. I have brought you all pictures to show you all that we are peaceful and not hiding any dark secrets, while I would like to meet you person, I cannot due to my country's laws saying we cannot exit the country alongside the population being required to remain at a fixed number at all times. We will have to exchange communication through letters due to our country being a utopia, and no foreign creature is allowed to enter. I am not sure as of this time if I can establish foreign relationships and trade yet, I will need to consult with my higher ups on it first." Twilight Sparkle read, "Look at that, we managed to establish contact." Applejack chirped while smiling, "We got something, but it's not much, I hope his higher ups do say 'Yes' to having a relationship with our country and we can spread friendship to them." Twilight Sparkle stated, "I wonder who his higher ups are." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, we got Emperor Volvox as one, and he's a prince, so obviously, there's also a king or a queen or both." Applejack responded, "We'll let them figure that out, let's look at the pictures he sent us." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they did. They examined the pictures closely and saw they were the interiors of their schools, homes, and factories, they were completely gold, one thing that caught their attention while there were males and females in the schools and homes, the factories only had males in them, "I guess the females don't have jobs in their country." Fluttershy commented, "Still, taking care of the house, children, and pets is no easy task." Rarity replied, "I'm not seeing any currency, either." Rainbow Dash said, "Now that you mention it, you're right, I don't see money in any of these pictures." Twilight Sparkle replied, "They're probably hidin' it so they don't get robbed." Applejack deduced, "I don't think so, Applejack, Celestia said all of the citizens seem to be mind controlled, so I doubt there would be any stealing." Twilight Sparkle countered, "Still, it'd be weird if they don't have any form of money." Applejack remarked, "Well, whatever the reason, they might have some kind of currency, I'll wonder about that later, I'll go ahead and write a letter to them." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she made a letter and quill appear and began writing, "Dear, Prince Tom, I am sorry for my and friends' intrusion into your country, I am Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship in the country of Equestria. I was trying to visit you all not only to welcome you, but also because a little while ago, our country had foreign invaders that were under the command of a person called the Storm King, he destroyed our country, trapped our rulers in stone, and enslaved us, so we were a bit uncomfortable about your arrival as well. The other countries are also watching us since we're the most powerful country around here and are on good terms with them, so we're checking for them as well, if possible, we would like to be on good terms with you all as well. P.S. Our kind are called Ponies, not Horses, if possible, we would like to know what your kind are called as well." "There, it's done, I'll go ahead and send it." Twilight Sparkle said, and she used her telekinesis to give the letter to Tom and moved it to their country's center building, its top opened and she lowered it into the building. Tom put the letter on the table and unfolded it, he and Dommiel read it together, "Oh." Tom and Dommiel said together, "No wonder why they're uncomfortable not knowing what's in our country." Tom commented, "The experience must've shook them, they must want to make sure we're peaceful and mean no harm so it doesn't happen to them again." Dommiel theorized, "I agree, hopefully, those pictures I sent them will relax them." Tom responded, "I hope so, too, last thing we need is war with the other countries." Dommiel added, "Well, I'll go ahead and write a short note to them." Tom stated and he did, he then wrote a sentence on a piece of paper and put it in a bottle, he then put it on the table's center and the launcher in the table shot the bottle out of the roof and high into the sky. Sunset Shimmer picked up the bottle with her telekinesis and unfolded it, "We are called humans." Sunset Shimmer read, "Sounds easy enough to remember." Applejack remarked, "I think that's all the communication we can do with them today, let's head back." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they did. The next day came and everybody got up early, "All hail Emperor Volvox." the country's citizens said at 6 a.m., "What do you two think Emperor Volvox looks like?" Scootaloo asked, "Ah don't know, maybe really old." Apple Bloom replied, "Yeah, I think so, but that Prince Tom guy looks old, I'm wondering how old Emperor Volvox is." Sweetie Belle added, "Well, Ah'm sure we'll see eventually, c'mon, let's go get a better view of that country." Apple Bloom instructed, and they got on a house's roof and looked on at the country. The Mane Six gathered together and got ready to head back with Spike, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer, but saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders trying to get a better view of the country, they went to go see them, "Apple Bloom." Applejack said, the three fillies turned around, "If ya wish, you and yer two friends can come with us." Applejack suggested, "Really?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Why, of course, darling, the country's pretty big up close." Rarity responded, "Come on, we'll show you how it looks up close." Fluttershy said, and the fillies followed them to Canterlot. The ponies and Spike arrived at the cliff and the Cutie Mark Crusaders let out sounds of awe, "The country's huge from here." Sweetie Belle stated, "See, told ya." Applejack replied, "Hey! Look, there's the old guy again!" Pinkie Pie hollered as she pointed at Tom standing on the center building's roof, "Excuse me, citizens, can I have your attentions please?" Tom asked, they all looked at him, "King Dommiel and I have discussed what to do with establishing foreign trade and relationships with the neighboring countries, we both agree it's best we do to prevent hostilities and reduce the risk of war breaking out, but we would like for you all to vote, we want to know what you all think about having foreign relationships, whichever gets the most votes will decide the outcome, voting will start after all of the men finish work today." Tom explained and the platform he was on went down into the center building. The ponies and Spike watched while the citizens got on with their days, "I guess they have some freedom." Twilight Sparkle commented, they watched the people get on with their days and they went to the center building in the afternoon and began voting. Everybody lined up in a single file line, "Wow, I didn't think they could vote, too." Spike said as he saw the cats and dogs were in the line as well, it took hours for the voting to finish and they all went home. The top of the center building opened and a platform Tom was standing on raised, "We have finished counting the votes, most agree on having good relationships with the other countries, we will see how we can establish the routes." Tom said, and the platform went down. The creatures cheered loudly while the humans remained silent, "Alright, we can establish trade, hopefully, we can form a friendship with them." Twilight Sparkle stated, "I hope so, too." Princess Celestia replied as she and Princess Luna walked to them, "You all have done well, me, Luna, Cadence, and the other country rulers will take it from here, we'll focus on establishing trade routes with them." Princess Celestia stated, "What we're thinking so far is have the hippogriffs use their ships to deliver the items, if that doesn't work, we'll try to use our magic to deliver them." Princess Luna added, "Head on back now, we'll let you know how establishing the trade routes go." Princess Celestia spoke, and they all left the area. Tom and Dommiel sat at the table together, "You have any ideas on how to establish trade routes, Tom?" Dommiel asked, "Well, I was thinking maybe having those horses to the west of our country using their telekinesis to move the items around." Tom suggested, "I'm thinking that's best, too, there's no way the foreigners can get close to us without setting off the barrier." Dommiel remarked, "Don't forget we can't leave the country either due to the law saying it requires a fixed number of people at all times." Tom added, "That too, maybe the best choice would be is to have them come here to us by ship, if they have any, and discuss trade routes and items to trade through the barrier." Dommiel suggested, "If anything, history books would be nice, I would like to learn about the history of this area." Tom remarked, "Me too, learning history would be nice, but other materials would be useful, too." Dommiel responded, "We can always use extra cotton, we're kind of low after making uniforms for every citizen." Tom stated, "That's true, we always have to make different sizes when we have a new child born to replace someone who has died." Dommiel replied, "I'll wait for a bit and see what the others do, I'll adapt depending on their decisions." Tom remarked, and he sat and looked at a map with Dommiel while planning trade routes in case the other countries trade by ship. The rulers of each country gathered in Canterlot and sat together, "What have you two had in mind for trading, Princesses Celestia and Luna?" Princess Skystar asked, "Well, considering they don't allow outsiders into their country, and it's surrounded by water, we thought about having you hippogriffs try to deliver the items with your ships if our magic doesn't work." Princess Celestia explained, "I think our magic should work since Twilight was able to use her magic to deliver letters to them with no problem." Princess Cadence remarked, "What about yak? How do yak deliver goods and do trade with country?" Prince Rutherford questioned, "We'll deliver your items with our magic." Princess Luna answered, Prince Rutherford smiled, "How are the people? Can they really be trusted? Us hippogriffs don't want another Storm King." Queen Novo said, "Well, they seem peaceful so far, they're not going around trying to conquer other countries, and we have managed to establish communication thanks to Twilight and her friends' efforts, they seem reasonable." Princess Luna responded, "Me and Cadence have been watching them from our homes as well, we can see the people of that country, there's no fighting or arguing of any kind, but we believe the citizens are being mind controlled to some extent considering they their 'All hail Emperor Volvox' every morning at the same time in complete monotone." Shining Armor explained, "That's been bothering me, too, it's almost like they have no freedom and someone is making them that way by force, my father was kind of like that, too." Princess Ember stated, "I never told you all to have no emotion." Dragon Lord Torch objected as he laid on his stomach, "Griffonstone has been aggravated by their morning sentence, we wish to see this Emperor Volvox in person." Grampa Gruff spoke, "I think we all do, but it seems we have to settle on discussing things with Prince Tom for now, we learned this morning there's also a King Dommiel, we wish to meet him as well." Princess Celestia replied, "Still, Emperor Volvox is still no show, my kind is starting to think he doesn't exist." Rain Shine remarked, "What? I surely would think he definitely exists if the people worship him." Princess Luna objected, "We know that King Dommiel exists since Prince Tom mentioned this morning he had a talk with him." Princess Cadence added, "I'd like to meet them as well, but I gathered you all here so we can go see them together, we will try to get as close as we can to their country and hope we can discuss things." Princess Celestia explained, "Still, it's unusual for a country around here to not have a monarch show." King Thorax remarked, "Yeah, it's almost like he's hiding deliberately, I sure would like for him to show his face at least once." Pharynx added, "Well, come on now, let's go see them, I think it's best we use a ship and sail there, but Dragon Lord Torch, you will have to fly there since you're too big." Princess Celestia stated, Dragon Lord Torch scoffed, "Yak will need ship since yak can't fly or walk on water." Prince Rutherford spoke, "Sure, we can prepare a ship for you." Princess Skystar responded, "Just don't stomp or smash anything." Queen Novo commanded, "Let's go then, I guess we all use the ship then." Princess Celestia spoke, and they all left the room while Dragon Lord Torch broke part of the wall as he crawled through the doorway, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna left last. The rulers went near Mount Aris and boarded a ship, General Seaspray steered it, "I see something in the water." Princess Skystar stated, they looked and saw two big glowing yellow eyes looking at them from under the water, "I don't recognize that creature." General Seaspray commented, "I see another creature there, too." Princess Celestia answered, they saw a long serpentine creature with scales of eight different colors wrapped around something under the country, "I can see another creature past it." Princess Luna added, they all saw a big human skull past the serpentine creature, "We'll ask about them when we arrive." Princess Celestia remarked and they kept going. The ship arrived at the country and Tom walked to them, "Outsiders detected near border, activating barrier." a computer said, and it came up, "Can you hear us?" Princess Celestia asked, "Loud and clear." Tom replied from inside the barrier, "Good, we would like to discuss establishing ways of transporting trade and goods to one another." Princess Celestia stated, "I've been trying to figure that out, still haven't came up with how to get our stuff outside our country, yet." Tom spoke, "Can't you use that thing in your center building to shoot stuff out of the country?" Princess Cadence asked, "Well, that's mostly for shooting messages in bottles to people on ships or nearby islands, it's not made for other stuff." Tom answered, "Well, it never hurts to give it a try." Princess Skystar stated, "True." Tom remarked, "Well, is there anything you wish for in particular?" Shining Armor inquired, "Cotton." Tom answered, "Cotton?" Shining Armor asked, "Yes, country's kind of low on that material for making clothes, we wear the outfits we wear because they're our uniforms, the law states everyone's uniform has to look the same, be made from the same material, and be the same colors." Tom explained, "Oh, wow." Princess Skystar remarked, "That reminds me, we would like to meet this King Dommiel and Emperor Volvox." Princess Luna stated, "Sorry, but King Dommiel is too occupied to make public appearances most of the time, and Emperor Volvox has no involvement with government affairs anymore." Tom responded, "Wait, so then, who handles all of the laws and foreign relationships of your country?" Princess Luna questioned, "King Dommiel, he is looking at the ocean and trying to think of trade paths by ships right now as we speak." Tom replied, "What do you do then?" King Thorax asked, "I am his eyes and ears on watching the citizens and making sure they stay safe, I am also the spokesperson and representative of our country's government, I'll be handling the trade of goods as well." Tom explained, "And King Dommiel?" Princess Cadence inquired, "He will try to meet you all in person if he has free time, after the trade deals are established, he will be signing documents and certificates to validate them." Tom answered, "So we're not going to be able to meet him?" Princess Ember asked, "Not at this time, no." Tom responded, "Well, we can provide you all cotton, as for us, well, we haven't decided what we want from you all, yet." Princess Celestia stated, "That's fine, you can decide that after the trade routes become official." Tom replied, "Yak will need to figure out way since yak cannot fly, use magic like pony, or walk on water like kirin." Prince Rutherford commented, "Leave it to us, Shining Armor and I will deliver your country's items to them." Princess Cadence responded, Prince Rutherford smiled, "I'll let you all figure out what you all want from our country, but as for us, just cotton as of now, you all can send me letters like how the previous group did." Tom said, "Thank you, but one more question before we go." Rain Shine stated, "Yes?" Tom asked, "What are those things in the water under your country?" Rain Shine questioned, "Those three are creatures that protect our country from foreign invaders, our land had more than just humans in the past, they destroyed one another through constant fighting, there are seven creatures that are not humans and don't fit into the criteria of our country's laws, so special exceptions were made for them. Those three under the country are our protectors, two more creatures act as Emperor Volvox's pets and bodyguards, and King Dommiel and Emperor Volvox themselves aren't humans, they became our rulers because they're now the oldest natives of our island with Emperor Volvox as the oldest and King Dommiel as the second oldest." Tom explained, "Why are you the prince?" Princess Ember asked, "Because I'm the oldest human in the country right now, the next oldest human will become the next prince after I die, those seven creatures are older than me, but their races and species have died out long ago, so they're the last of their kind, us humans, cats, and dogs are the only abundant species left on this island." Tom explained, "Ah, I get it now, makes sense." Princess Skystar commented, "We'll be heading back now, we know how we'll do trade, us ponies will use our magic to deliver the goods of our kind and the yaks, dragons, griffons, changelings, and hippogriffs can fly, seaponies can swim here, and kirins can travel on the water and come here." Princess Celestia stated, "That sounds good, I mean, it's not that far away for us." Princess Ember commented while smiling, "I think I already have an idea on what us griffons want." Grampa Gruff said smugly with a smirk on his face, "We'll hand you the documents after we make them for you all to sign." Princess Celestia stated, "Okay, I'll be waiting." Tom replied, and the ship left while he went back into his country's center building. Canterlot's printing companies began making the documents while the rulers told the workers what they would like on them, they signed them and the ponies then used their magic to deliver the documents to the country. Tom and Dommiel sat and read them together, "So apparently, those birds to the east of us want gold." Tom commented, "Well, there's not much we can do, we don't use currency." Dommiel responded, "I have an idea, Dommiel." Tom said, "Okay then." Dommiel remarked, and they continued reading the other documents, they read and saw the ponies wanted their outfits, the dragons wanted any jewels if they had any, the yaks wanted musical instruments, the changelings wanted their history books, the hippogriffs and seaponies wanted their jewelry, and the kirins wanted their art, "Well, it's quite a bit, every species wants a different item, we'll have to convert some of our factories into making those stuff." Tom remarked, "It'd be like old times before Volvox made this utopia of our country, it's almost like you humans are getting back in touch with your roots of art and money." Dommiel stated, "It wasn't just us humans, you demons had stuff like art and currency in the past, too." Tom reminded, "Well, I think we can manage this, as long as they don't ask for too much." Dommiel said, "I agree, having the factories producing them shouldn't be too hard, either, let's go ahead and sign them." Tom replied, and they signed the documents. The next day came and Tom was on the center building's roof again, "Everyone, due to us opening trade with the other countries, some of the factories will begin making and producing different items, we have to make jewelry, musical instruments, and art again, just like before we became a utopian country. We will also have to give away some of our history books from school due to some of the other countries wanting to learn about us, while the other countries will give us cotton in exchange for us to make the uniforms we all wear. We will try to maintain a healthy relationship the best we can, since we still cannot allow outsiders in, if they don't work out, the converted factories will revert back to making what they used to make." Tom spoke, and the platform went down. The factories began going under construction and the other countries watched, "Ah guess that country used to be just like any other country here back then." Applejack commented, "I still wonder why they became the way they are." Ocellus replied, "We'll learn when we look into their history books." Twilight Sparkle spoke, "Give them time, darlings, they have to get everything set up now, I hope things can get going and produced in six months latest." Rarity stated, and everyone got on with their days. About a week and a half passed and the trades began, Tom and Dommiel used their table's launcher to shoot the items out of the country while the ponies caught them in midair with their telekinesis, the items for their respective countries were taken by its creatures while the ponies used their telekinesis to deliver the country's musical instruments to the yaks. The School of Friendship taught the students while they looked at the humans' history books, "Okay, class, two big announcements today, obviously, we will be looking at the humans' history and learn about it together, and the other big news, we have managed to convince Kirin Grove to send one of their own here to the School of Friendship, everybody, say hello to Autumn Blaze." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and Autumn Blaze jumped forward and waved at everybody, "Hello, everybody, I'm Autumn Blaze, I look forward to being friends with you all. Kirin Grove has been wanting to befriend other countries ever since we stopped being silent and opened our borders to foreigners, Rain Shine hopes me being here will strengthen our bond with Equestria and offer our friendship to the other creatures..." Autumn Blaze rambled, "Autumn Blaze, I have to start teaching now." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Oh, sorry." Autumn Blaze said, "Go on and take your seat now." Twilight Sparkle instructed, and she trotted and sat next to Gallus, "Hopefully, we can get a human in our school, too, but it's probably going to be difficult due to their country's laws, but we hope that we can get one of them here and spread friendship to their country, too. Let's get started on today's assignment." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and they opened the new history books. Everybody read the history of the country with the first chapter dating back billions of years ago, the island was inhabited many different types of creatures, they all fought and killed one due to either needing food to survive, hostilities between one another, or wanting to become the ruler of the island. Volvox was born around this time and was a three headed quadrupedal creature, his kind also fought to be the rulers of the island and were killed until only he remained. Dommiel appeared in the books and was born about 1,000 years after Volvox, he was a demon, his kind also fought to be rulers of the island and were killed, they were also killed by being hunted as food. They read together and the students began yawning, "Okay, everybody, I think we'll stop here for now." Twilight Sparkle said while yawning, and they closed the books, "We'll continue tomorrow, but until then, school goes on as normal, dismissed, everybody." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they all left the room. The few days went by and everything was peaceful, "All hail Emperor Volvox." the country's citizens said at 6 a.m. daily, the days went on peacefully while Tom and Dommiel watched their country, "I got a note, that purple pony in the country to the west still wants us to send a human to her school to represent our country." Tom revealed, "We will have to decline, it will make our population go down from the fixed number assigned by Volvox as the law." Dommiel replied, "There's also the fact if we hold a vote, most citizens would not want to change that law, either." Tom added, "That, too, the citizens are content with that law, plus, sending a kid away would be distressing for the child and their family." Dommiel remarked, "People are okay with their lives here, too, and our schools are satisfactory enough according to the reports our citizens give us, even without the mind control." Tom added as he looked at the notes and voting polls on the schools being liked enough, "I'll go ahead and write a note to them saying we have to refuse." Dommiel spoke, and he wrote the note, put it in a bottle, and the launcher in the table shot it out of the center building's roof and into the water. The ponies saw the bottle drifting to Equestria and Twilight Sparkle picked it up with her telekinesis, she opened the bottle and unfolded the letter while she and her friends gathered around her, "Dear, ponies, We must decline your request of having one of our kind attend your school due to a few reasons. One is our country's law requires us to have our population a fixed number at all times, another is another law saying natives of the country cannot leave, and the last one is due to the distress the child and family will feel due to them being separated from one another far away and for a long time." Twilight Sparkle read, "That last reason sounds like an excuse." Rainbow Dash remarked, "It really does." Sunset Shimmer added, "Not only that, look at the writing, this don't look like Prince Tom's writin'." Applejack commented, "You're right, it must be King Dommiel's." Starlight Glimmer replied, "I still wish to meet him in person one day." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "Now, now, darling, I'm sure he'll show himself one day, just give him time and let him finish up with his job." Rarity suggested, "Should we ask them about their country's law?" Fluttershy asked, "No, Fluttershy, that is not up to us to decide, we'll have to let them sort it out on their own, all we can do is wait and hope they change that law." Twilight Sparkle answered, "And if they don't?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Then they don't, we'll just have to deal with it." Twilight Sparkle responded, "I mean, they're still new here and we haven't really befriended them, yet, maybe they'll change their law in the future to let us in after we've gotten along in a few years from now." Spike said, "I sure hope so, but until then, we'll just keep reading their history books." Twilight Sparkle answered, and they went back home. Night time came and it was pouring rain with thunder and lightning, everybody saw a light in the distance to the north, it came closer and everybody saw it was a big wooden ship with humans on it, "We found the country." a man said, everybody saw the humans in the ship were all wearing different outfits and had different hairstyles from one another, they continued sailing forward until a creature with glowing yellow eyes emerged from the water, it was black like a shadow and as tall as a mountain, "It's the Umibōzu!" another man exclaimed, the creature let out a very loud moan and then began swinging its arms down to destroy the ship. The humans screamed while the Umibōzu continued swinging its arms down and destroying the ship, water from the ocean began flooding the ship, it soon got destroyed and the humans floated around in the ocean. General Seaspray led a ship with hippogriffs on them to the humans and began getting them out of the sea and onto the ship with help from the seaponies, "Hurry! Turn around and head back to Mount Aris!" General Seaspray commanded, and the hipppogriff did. The Umibōzu moaned while it picked up a piece of the destroyed ship and threw it at the hippogriffs' ship, the unicorns used their telekinesis to hold the ship part in the air while the hippogriffs' ship sailed back to Mount Aris and the Umibōzu went back under the water. The next morning came and the ponies headed to Mount Aris and gave the humans clean clothes, towels, and food, "Y'all alright?" Applejack asked, "Yes, thank you." a man replied, "While I have seen many creatures in one form or another, that one from last night was like no other." Zecora said, "Who are you guys?" Rainbow Dash inquired, "We were originally citizens from that island, we didn't agree with Emperor Volvox's laws, so we were exiled, we lived on a nearby island until the earthquake shifted us around." the man explained, "Those humans on the island are our families and friends, they were okay with Emperor Volvox's ways, though they have freedom in voting and deciding the laws of the government, they are mostly under mind control, Volvox made them that way in an attempt to stop us from fighting and killing one another for one reason or another." a woman added, "Um... we already established trade with them and get along well, they did give us their history books as part of the trade." Rainbow Dash spoke, "So I assume you all are familiar with how Volvox became the ruler then." the man responded, "No, we didn't get that far yet, we're at the part about when he and Dommiel were born and the creatures slaughterin' one another." Applejack revealed, "Long story short, they all fought either for food, survival, or the throne, that creature that attacked us last night is the last of its kind." the man responded, "What was that?" Princess Skystar asked, "That was the Umibōzu, they are creatures black like shadows and tall as mountains, they lived in the sea and fought for dominance on the island, that one is the only one left." the man revealed, "When me and the other rulers went over to discuss trade, we noticed it watching us, we saw a big skeletal head and a long snake-like creature under the water as well." Princess Luna stated, "That skeleton is the Gashadokuro, it is 15 times bigger than us humans, they were one of the apex predators back in ancient times, we still don't know how skeletons like that are able to be sentient or even alive. The serpent is Yamata no Orochi, it is a giant serpent with eight heads and eight tails, unlike the others, Orochi has always been one of a kind, it's still around because it has proven itself to be too powerful to take down, Orochi is as old as Volvox himself." the man explained, "Wait, when we visited that country with the other rulers, Prince Tom said there was seven people in that country that didn't fit the criteria of their laws with Volvox and Dommiel being two of them." Princess Celestia remarked, "The last two are Phoenix and Thunderbird, Volvox's personal pet birds, they are big and look identical, but Phoenix is made of red fire while Thunderbird is made of blue lightning." the woman answered, "Where is Volvox? We haven't seen him at all." Pinkie Pie said, "Volvox resides in an underwater shelter, he has no power or authority as of now, he's mostly just there, it is Tom and Dommiel that are running the country." the man replied, "That's another thing, we're still waiting to meet Dommiel since Tom said he's too busy right now." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "Tom's lying, Dommiel never makes a public appearance, he's always in that center building watching the country, he only comes outside if there's an attack in or around the country going on." the man answered, "So... we will never get to meet Dommiel?" Princess Skystar asked, the humans shook their heads, "What are y'all gonna do now?" Applejack inquired, "We're going to rest and recover for now, we'll try again in freeing our families and friends from Volvox's and Dommiel's mind control afterwards." the woman answered, "You sure about that? That big black creature looks really strong." Terramar remarked, "It is, the Umibōzu is that country's first line of defense whenever invaders arrive, we still have to contend with the Gashadokuro and Orochi after it." the man spoke, "We'll see if we can convince the rulers about letting your families and friends free." Princess Celestia stated, "Thank you, but I doubt it's going to work." the man replied, "Come on, everyone, it's time to go back." Twilight Sparkle said, and they went back to Equestria. Tom and Dommiel looked at the exiled humans in Mount Aris, "So they finally found us again." Tom spoke, "It was a matter of time, we're going to have to deal with them trying to come into our country again." Dommiel stated, "I mean, all we did was tell them to live elsewhere if they're not going to agree with our laws, they should be grateful that you, me, and Volvox didn't decide to execute them." Tom said, "They're still natives and related to our citizens, Tom, executing them still feels wrong to me." Dommiel remarked, "I don't like the idea of doing that, either, but we might have to if things get really ugly between us and them." Tom reminded, "I hope not, even if we have to to stop them permanently from trying to come back, I'm still going to regret it." Dommiel responded, "Me too, Dommiel, so will Volvox." Tom added, "Our citizens are still free enough to recognize they're their former family members and friends, so of course they'll be against killing them as well." Dommiel said, "That's true, they're still their loved ones, even though us humans killed other humans very often back then either out of spite or try to become the island's ruler or ruler of the humans." Tom replied, they soon heard a ship coming and saw the other country's rulers on it, "I'll be right back." Tom stated, and he headed outside. The rulers of the country sailed on General Seaspray's ship and arrived near the country, the barrier went up when they were in front of it, Tom soon arrived in front of them, "Prince Tom, we need to talk." King Thorax spoke, "Is it about last night?" Tom asked, "Well, partially, we heard from those people on the ship that they're former natives of your island." Princess Ember responded, "They are, they didn't agree with our utopian laws and society, so they were exiled and sent to live on another island." Tom explained, "And those who are citizens in your country?" Pharynx asked, "They agreed to live like this willingly." Tom revealed, "Under constant mind control and doing the same thing every day?" Queen Novo inquired, "Volvox decided that it would be for the best, us humans fought and tried to kill one another very often back then for various reasons, Volvox and Dommiel put them all except me under a bit of mind control to prevent that from happening." Tom explained, "And those cats and dogs?" Princess Celestia asked, "At first, but after they got used to each other, there was no longer any need to mind control them, they are content with their current lives as well." Tom answered, the rulers looked through the barrier and saw the cats and dogs playing with one another and having fun, "We would like for you all to accept those formerly exiled natives back so they can see their families and friends again." Princess Celestia said, "If they're willing to accept our laws and adapt, they're welcome to return." Tom replied, "And be under mind control and unable to do what they want? I don't think so." Princess Ember rebuked, "We would like for you all to stop the mind control and let your natives have their free will back." Shining Armor stated, "And revert back to our warmongering nature again?" Tom asked, "Prince Tom, I can stop people from fighting one another with my magic, so you don't need to worry about that." Princess Cadence explained, "Hmm, I will need to speak with Dommiel and my citizens over this." Tom remarked, "Thank you, Prince Tom, we hope you can settle this peacefully." Princess Celestia spoke while she and the other rulers smiled, and the ship they were on sailed back while the barrier went down and Tom went back into the center building. Tom entered the center building and stood on a platform on the floor while the building's roof opened, the platform moved up and he stood on the center building's roof, "Attention, everyone." Tom said, the citizens looked at him, "We have been requested by the foreign countries to end Volvox's and Dommiel's partial mind control over you guys, and accept the exiled humans back in, I understand a lot of you would like to see your families and friends again, but are also comfortable with our current life, so we will hold a vote, it will be either you all want those exiled people back and end the mind control, or you all want to stay the way life is right now, voting starts after school and work end today." Tom spoke, and the platform went down. He walked to the table and sat, "Well, there's nothing we can do, Tom, our people will ultimately decide what happens." Dommiel remarked, "That's not it, I'm worried on how you, Volvox, and the other five creatures will react." Tom replied, "I won't get mad, but I'm worried Volvox might disagree as well." Dommiel remarked, "I just hope he doesn't take control of you and the other creatures." Tom stated, "Me too, but he might, I pray that he doesn't." Dommiel responded, and they watched their country. The Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Student Six, Autumn Blaze, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Sunburst, Pillars of Equestria, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Spike watched the humans in the country vote, "Well, I hope this goes well." Flash Magnus stated, "Me too, but I'm getting a bad feeling about what they're doing." Mistmane replied, "That reminds me, have you detected how powerful the mind control is, Starswirl?" Princess Celestia asked, "It's kind of strong, but we might be able to break it, and look right now, they're voting, I have sensed that they are being led where to vote through the mind control, but they're not controlled on what they vote for, they have free will in deciding that." Starswirl the Bearded explained, "I've tried sensing the kids when they're in school, they're mind controlled into taking notes, but they choose what notes to write down, same with tests, they choose the answer of their own free will." Sunburst added, "The cracks and flaws of their utopia are finally starting to show." Princess Luna commented, "Indeed, they are, not only do they forbid outsiders and foreign aid, but they will exile those who don't agree with their laws, I always thought there was some kind of problem with their country, and I now know there is." Mage Meadowbrook replied, "There's also this Emperor Volvox person, he has only been mentioned and has made no appearance, at least we know King Dommiel is there since we saw his writing and signature on the documents, but not Emperor Volvox, I'm beginning to think he may not be real after all." Somnambula commented, "I agree there, lass, and just like how they all say their 'All hail Emperor Volvox' every morning, I figured something was off by their emotionless monotone voice every time they say it." Rockhoof responded, the others nodded in agreement, "There's also their laws, they haven't gone into detail about it besides having to wear the same outfit, but from what I see, I think some of their other laws might be everybody needs to be the same height and same weight, and everyone have the same hair or fur color with the young humans having black hair and the old humans having white or gray hair." Scootaloo remarked, "Not only that, all of them have the same eye color, too, they all have the same skin color as well, and everyone's hair is the same length, I bet y'all bits that country only has two names, one name for all the boys, and another name for all the girls." Apple Bloom added, "Ah noticed that, too, Ah think it also applies to the cats and dogs, as well, they all have white fur, are the same size, shape, and height as one another, and all the cats have green eyes while all the dogs have brown eyes." Applejack replied, "While I do like their simplicity and their outfits overall being fashionable despite simple, I still wish they would have more variety." Rarity said, "Yeah, aside from the buildings being taller or shorter depending on how close or far away they are from the center, everything looks the same, color's the same on everything, too, even the buildings except the one in the center all look the same, it's so boring." Pinkie Pie added, "There's something that's still bothering me." Fluttershy spoke, "What's that?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The animals and people don't seem to age, I'm not seeing any stores or food, either, I never saw anyone eat or drink anything in that country, either, it's almost like they're more like machines than people." Fluttershy explained, "Now that you mention it, I've kind of noticed that, too." Rainbow Dash spoke, "Maybe they're under some kind of spell that's making them like that." Spike suggested, "It's possible, we already know they know magic exists, so maybe one of them knows a spell or spells to make the people the way they are now." Starlight Glimmer stated, "Now that I think about it, maybe we should've had Discord investigate the country for us when they first appeared." Sunset Shimmer commented, Discord appeared, "Oh, no, I most certainly couldn't. You see, I am sensing great danger from under the country, like there is some kind of giant monster residing there." Discord spoke, "Oh, come on now, Discord, you're basically immortal, you have nothing to be afraid of." Rainbow Dash said, "On the contrary, I am sensing some demonic energies from the top of that center building and right under it, the one at the top feels like a bunch of shadows, and the one under it feels like the flames like that of Celestia when she becomes Daybreaker." Discord explained, "You sure it isn't when my kind turn into niriks?" Autumn Blaze asked, "Or dragon fire?" Smolder suggested, "I guarantee you that the fire on Daybreaker is as hot as the flames of the sun, which is even hotter than both combined." Discord answered, "Still, it's a bummer we can't enter their country, I would've liked to have explored it." Sweetie Belle stated, "Me too, Sweetie Belle, it's my kind of country, everything nice and clean, neatly arranged, island shaped like a perfect circle, and everyone does everything in an orderly fashion, I would've adapted so easily to living there." Twilight Sparkle gushed, "I couldn't live there, I'd get bored quickly." Sunset Shimmer remarked, "Me too, same thing every day at the same time, what a boring lifestyle." Silverstream added, "There's also the mind control, I don't want any kind of mind control over me." Sandbar stated, "Me neither, I want to live as free as possible." Gallus spoke, "Can you guys please not bring that up? I have bad memories of being mind controlled." Shining Armor responded, "Yona bet country not look good up close." Yona spoke, "Probably not, I don't see any decorations on the roads and buildings, all of that gold would make my eyes tired, too." Ocellus said, "The way it shines during the day comes into Flurry Heart's room and the reflection has woken her up a few times." Princess Cadence remarked, Flurry Heart let out baby noises while frowning, "Hopefully, if they do vote to end the mind control, I hope they change the law about the population being at a fixed number so we can get one of their citizens into our school." Twilight Sparkle stated, "That would be great, Twilight, we will be able to spread love and friendship to them and make others a whole lot more comfortable having them around." Princess Celestia replied, "Flurry Heart has been wanting to meet the citizens there, too." Princess Cadence said, Flurry Heart cooed excitedly, "Let's head off to bed now, everybody, we'll know what they choose tomorrow." Starswirl the Bearded stated, "I hope they decide to accept their exiled citizens back." Spike said, "We all do, Spike, let's go now." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they all went home and slept. The next morning came and everybody of every country watched the humans' country with Tom standing on the center building's roof, "All hail Emperor Volvox." the humans all said in their usual emotionless monotone voices, Tom came up on the platform and stood on the center building shortly afterwards, "The votes are in, most of the humans have voted that we should to end the mind control and let the exiled humans back in, we will lower our barriers and let them enter peacefully, but be ready, people, you all may already know this, but Emperor Volvox will more than likely not be pleased." Tom spoke, and the platform he was on went down. The hippogriffs at Mount Aris put the exiled humans in a ship, "I'm sure you all know how to steer a ship, good luck getting acquainted on things back at home." General Seaspray spoke, "Yes, we know how to control and ship, and thank you all for your hospitality, we'll be off now." the man who spoke to the ponies yesterday replied, and another human began sailing the ship to their country while the hippogriffs waved bye at them. The ship sailed to the country and humans there were no longer mind controlled and waved at them, they got close to the country and the barrier suddenly went up. Everybody exclaimed in confusion and the Umibōzu emerged from the water while letting out a loud groan. it began swinging its arms down at the ship and the humans in the country tried to get through the barrier, "Volvox! This is what the humans want!" Tom hollered, an earthquake began and the platform he was on quickly went down, he ran out of the building and the ground in the country's center split open. The Gashadokuro emerged and roared loudly, the other creatures in the other countries jaws' dropped at seeing it, "That thing is huge!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she looked at the 90 foot tall skeleton, the Gashadokuro began swinging its arms around and destroying the buildings, it also picked up buildings and threw them at the humans trapped in the country. The other countries went over and began trying to help, the unicorns tried to destroy the barrier around the country, the Pegasi, dragons, griffons, changelings, hippogriffs, seaponies, and kirins helped the exiled humans fight the Umibōzu while also bringing the humans in the water to safety, and the earth ponies and yaks threw big boulders at the Umibōzu and barrier in an attempt to destroy it. The Umibōzu threw objects and fish at the creatures while the exiled humans fired their ship's cannons at it, it had no effect on it, it began picking up humans from the ship and threw them at the ship, they screamed while the unicorns caught them in midair with their magic. Fluttershy commanded her birds and marine animals to go help the humans and they began pecking and biting the Umibōzu, it swatted the birds into the water while the marine animals continued to bite its body, "Dragons! Together, let us breathe fire! That creature resides in the water! Maybe the heat makes it uncomfortable!" Dragon Lord Torch bellowed, and they all flew over and breathed fire on the Umibōzu, Smolder and Spike joined them. The Umibōzu groaned loudly and steam began to emit from its body, it got too hot and went back into the water while moaning, "Okay, it's down, onto the barrier!" Princess Ember commanded, and they did. The humans in the country hid under the rubble while the Gashadokuro picked up the buildings and looked for humans, cats, or dogs to eat, they all hid while everybody on the outside got desperate to destroy the barrier, "Twilight, Starlight, Sunset, come over here with me, Luna, Cadence, Shining Armor, and Starswirl." Princess Celestia called out with her Royal Canterlot Voice, and they went to her. They arrived in Canterlot and met up with the others, "We're going to try to destroy that barrier with our magic combined together." Princess Luna explained, "We're ready." Twilight Sparkle replied, Starlight Glimmer and Sunset Shimmer nodded, "Okay, on three, one, two, three." Princess Celestia spoke, and they all shot big blasts out of their horns and combined them together, everybody got out of the way and they hit the barrier, electricity appeared on it for a few seconds and it exploded, "Let's go." Princess Celestia spoke, and they teleported. The exiled humans sailed forward while the Royal Hippogriff Navy also arrived with their ships, the Gashadokuro began swinging its arms around and destroying every building and home. Twilight Sparkle arrived in the country, "Outsider detected, commencing teleporting outsider out of country. Error, teleporting device, anti-magic device, and anti-hologram device malfunctions." a computer voice spoke, she used her telekinesis to move the pieces of debris up, "Everybody! This way!" Twilight Sparkle called out, they ran to where she was and to the ships. The cats and dogs also ran to the exit while the unicorns used their magic to tie and restrain the Gashadokuro, it broke free from its magic chains easily each time. The humans arrived at the island's border but huge flames suddenly appeared all around the island's borders, the humans stopped running while blue lightning struck the island, they heard birds cawing near the island's center and the ground burst open, two big flying birds emerged, one was made of red fire while the other was made of blue electricity, everybody realized it was Phoenix and Thunderbird. Phoenix and Thunderbird shot fire and lightning out their mouths respectively at the country while Phoenix also flapped his wings around to create waves of fire. The kirins turned into niriks and ran through the fire around the island unharmed while the dragons flew past it unharmed due to their scales protecting them, they arrived into the country and helped Twilight Sparkle fend off the two birds. The dragons grabbed and restrained Phoenix while the niriks absorbed his fire, Thunderbird held his wings out and electrified the entire island, Twilight Sparkle quickly cast a shield around herself and the humans to block the electricity. The two birds shot more fire and lightning out of their mouths and mixed them together, the entire country caught on fire while the Gashadokuro was unharmed by all of the flames and electricity. The flames around the island got doused by Pegasi using rain clouds, they flew to above Phoenix and put a downpour on him, he screeched as he evaporated. Thunderbird held his wings out and screeched to summon lightning, it came down but got redirected and absorbed into a thundercloud held by more Pegasi, he held his wings forward and shot lightning out his feather tips, they got absorbed into the thundercloud, he and Phoenix screeched while Phoenix evaporated and Thunderbird got absorbed into the thunderclouds. The humans ran to the ships and got on, they began to sail away while the Gashadokuro got fully restrained and it roared. The ships sailed away from the island but more rumbling began, eight whirlpools appeared around the island, the waters rose highly and eight big, long, serpentine heads and necks emerged out of the water, they all roared while the kids screamed, "It's Orochi! Orochi has appeared!" a male citizen from Volvox's country exclaimed, the other creatures looked on with shocked expressions at how big it was along with each head and body being different, one was made of red fire, one was made of blue water, one was made of brown rocks, one was made of light pale green wind gusts, one was made of yellow electricity, one was made of brown wood, one was made of silver metal, and one was made of light blue flames. All eight of Orochi's heads began slamming their bodies down to destroy the ships and tried to bite anyone nearby, the fire head burned the ships while the water head flooded them and the wind head broke them apart, the lightning head leaned above the ocean and opened its mouth, he shot lightning into the ocean and electrified it. The unicorns fired magic blasts at it and tried to restrain it but none of them were working, the fire head shot fire at Equestria and Princess Cadence and Shining Armor quickly put up a barrier, the wind head made the debris in Volvox's country float around its entire body and then began shooting them at the countries and ships. Everycreature tried using everything they had against Orochi but nothing was working, "How are we supposed fight this thing?!" Rainbow Dash inquired, "That's the thing, Orochi has been too powerful for us to fight against even back then, the eight bodies are all different elements, the red one is fire, the blue one is water, the rock one is earth, the green one is wind, the yellow one is lightning, the brown one is wood, the silver one is metal, and the light blue one is void." a man explained, "Void?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "What's void?" Applejack asked, "Spiritual power, it's things that are not physical, like emotions and willpower, it is also known to some of us as aether." a woman explained, "Why don't we try using the Elements of Harmony?" Rarity suggested, "I don't think it's going to work." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Yeah, and there's only six elements for us, Orochi has eight." Rainbow Dash added, "Seven if you count me." Sunset Shimmer reminded, "But if we can get the Pillars of Equestria to join us, that'll give us 13 elements and maybe we can overpower him." Applejack suggested, Orochi's heads roared and the lightning head shot several bolts out of its mouth that floated around in midair, the earth, wood, and metal heads shot rocks, wood chips, and metal shards out of their respective mouths to pelt the ships, the wind head made debris fly everywhere, the fire head burned everything while the water head flooded the ships, and the void head shot non-elemental energy blasts out of its mouth. The dragons and niriks tried fighting Orochi with their fire and they noticed the metal head was uncomfortable, "Wait, that's it, maybe we can take out at least four heads, five if we're lucky." the man said, "What do ya mean?" Applejack asked, "In one of our element chart beliefs, fire overcomes metal, metal overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, and water overcomes fire, maybe we can use them against each other." the man answered, "Let's give it a try." Starlight Glimmer spoke, and they got ready. Orochi's heads shot out breaths of their respective elements at every country and the unicorns grabbed the fire, water, rocks, wood chips, and metal shards with their telekinesis and threw them, the fire hit the metal head, the water hit the fire head, the rocks hit the water head, the wood chips hit the earth head, and the metal shards hit the wood head, the five heads got knocked out, "What about the other three?" Pinkie Pie questioned, "There is no element weakness for them." a second woman answered, "What do we do?" Fluttershy inquired, "Pillars of Equestria, me and my friends need your help, let us try combining our elements together to overcome the creature." Twilight Sparkle spoke in her Royal Canterlot Voice, all six of them arrived with Starswirl the Bearded teleporting them, "Let's do it." Starswirl the Bearded agreed, and he cast a spell to get the Elements of Harmony and the Mane Six wore their respective elements. The Mane Six, Pillars of Equestria, and Sunset Shimmer floated up in midair and their eyes' glowed white, they all shot beams of different colors while Orochi's wind, lightning, and void heads absorbed the elements of the other five heads into themselves and shot them out, the wind head shot fire, rocks, and wood chips alongside its wind breath, the lightning head shot out water with its lightning breath, the void head shot out metal shards with its void breath. The eight elements combined together into one blast and entered a deadlock with the 13 ponies, a big earthquake began while they tried to overpower one another, the ponies sweated but they soon overpowered Orochi's breath attack and knocked out the three remaining heads. The Mane Six, Pillars of Equestria, and Sunset Shimmer floated down and panted while they sweated, "Is that the last of them?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No, there should be two more threats." Tom replied, "Volvox and Dommiel, right?" Starlight Glimmer asked, Tom nodded, "Well, it looks safe, come on now, let's take them to the closest country." General Seaspray commanded, and they sailed to Equestria. The barrier around Equestria went down and the ships arrived, everybody got off at Equestria's easternmost border and walked forward. Black shadows appeared behind them and everyone saw shadow-like wings going back to the humans' country, a shadow creature with a bipedal body, horns, claws, and teeth appeared in the sky, it roared while it twitched its head around a bit, "Look!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, "It's being mind controlled, it must be trying to break free." Starswirl the Bearded deduced, the creature threw its arms forward and black blasts shot out of its hands, everything the blasts touched got infected with dark energy. The creature flew forward and roared as it dived down and got ready to grab someone with its hands and feet, everyone sidestepped and dodged him easily while he twitched and struggled to regain control of himself. Starswirl the Bearded cast a spell to break the mind control and the creature regained control of itself, it transformed into a smaller form and changed to Dommiel, he sighed and panted, "Where were you?" Tom asked, "Under the country." Dommiel revealed, "We finally meet, Emperor Volvox." Pinkie Pie stated, "No, this is King Dommiel." Tom corrected, the other creatures exclaimed, "Where's Emperor Volvox?" Rainbow Dash inquired, "Emperor Volvox hasn't been seen in years." a girl from Volvox's country answered, "No offense, y'all, but Ah'm beginnin' to think this Emperor Volvox guy ain't real." Applejack commented, "He's very real." a man from Volvox's country interjected, "Then where is he?" Fluttershy asked, "Under the country, there was an elevator at the bottom floor in the center building that would lead to him." Tom answered, "Well, let's go, and Prince Tom and King Dommiel, I'm sure Princess Celestia would like to have a word with you two on running the country." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and they kept walking. Everybody walked until they heard a big explosion behind them and looked back, orange flames surrounded the entire humans' home island, "What now?!" Rainbow Dash fumed, "It's Emperor Volvox." a human boy replied, "So he's finally decided to make an appearance." Twilight Sparkle commented, the orange flames in the center rose higher and higher, it reached high into the sky and everyone saw a figure through it, "I have given you all immortality, I have stopped you all from aging, I stopped you all from fighting and waging war permanently, I used my magic so you all don't have to eat, drink, or have to use the bathroom, that by extension gotten rid of the need to hunt and kill your pets and one another, I preserved our old history for you all to learn your origins and taught you all well, I have gotten rid of currency so none of you would be swayed and tempted by money. I've given you all a paradise, and this is the thanks you all give me? It took me a long time to make the utopia what it is, you all should be grateful that you humans are still alive today." Volvox ranted in a deep, loud, booming voice, the flames spread out and went down. Everybody reeled back and dropped their jaws at Volvox's appearance, he was a 3,000 foot tall three headed quadrupedal creature, the right half of his body was made up of big gray bones with his right head being skeletal, the left half of his body was made of black shadow-like mass with his left front leg's and left hind leg's claws and left head's eyes being red, and his center head, spine, and tail were pink with yellow seven pointed star shaped chitin growing down his spine and connected by tentacles laying neatly down his spine, and a big yellow sharp pointed triangular tip on his tail with two more sharp tips on the back corners of it. Volvox used his telekinesis to pick up the humans and Dommiel, "I am not going to have you all spread your violent, warmongering ways to the other countries, I might as well make you all extinct now." Volvox's center head spoke, "Wait, Volvox, look at the humans you exiled, they were peaceful with the other countries' natives when they met them." Dommiel stated, "That's because they're still new, humans usually don't start their destruction of other countries and species until after the other species feel they can trust and befriend them." Volvox countered, "Volvox, please, give the humans a chance, plus, look around at the other countries around you." Dommiel pleaded, Volvox looked and saw the other creatures looking at him with pleading faces, "Very well, but if you start destroying stuff and waging war, I'm rendering you all extinct." Volvox warned, and he put them back down in Equestria, "I believe you should be punished in some form, Volvox." Princess Celestia spoke as she flew up to him, "Due to you attacking your own citizens, alongside us, and mind controlling your people, I believe you should be arrested and tried in court." Princess Celestia said, "What are my charges?" Volvox asked, "Attacking other countries, taking away your citizens' free wills, and attacking your exiled citizens." Princess Celestia answered, "Am I the only one being put on trial?" Volvox asked, "No, Dommiel and Tom will face charges as well." Princess Celestia replied, "Come on, you two, might as well get it over and done with." Volvox spoke, and he walked to Equestria while each of his steps made the ground shake, they went to Canterlot while the other rulers went as well, "Let's go, everyone." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they went to Canterlot. The trial in Canterlot began and Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom were on the stand, the trial took place outside since Volvox was too big to enter any buildings and unable to go to the courtroom, Volvox received the most charges with the ones Princess Celestia mentioned while Dommiel was charged with helping Volvox making the utopia and Tom was charged with lying to the other rulers on some subjects, Dommiel and Tom served time in a dungeon while Volvox was held with magic chains and shackles outside. The next morning came and all of the humans gathered together outside the School of Friendship, "Okay, now I can finally have a human representative in the school, which one of you would like to attend?" Twilight Sparkle asked, a human boy from Volvox's country stepped forward, "Oh, nice, I already have one who wants to attend, what's your name?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Tom." the boy replied, the other creatures' attentions were caught as their eyes' widened, "Hold up, how many of y'all are named Tom?" Applejack questioned, every single male from Volvox's country raised their hands, some of the other creatures gasped under their breaths, "What are y'all girls called?" Applejack inquired, "Mia." a girl from Volvox's country answered, "Do all of you females have the same name?" Sunset Shimmer asked, they nodded, "They don't even have their own identity." Rarity lamented, "Okay, first assignment for you guys, give yourself all different names." Twilight Sparkle instructed, and they tried while the exiled humans gave them ideas, they soon adapted different names, "Good job! Now, to change your hairstyles, the outfits will be worked on later." Pinkie Pie spoke, "I'll handle the outfits part, darling." Rarity replied, "For those of you who wish to grow your hair out, give it time, for those who wish to either cut your hair or tie it, we have the supplies." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she got them with her telekinesis. The human females began styling their hairs while some of the males shaved theirs off, the males with short hair just watched, "Okay, that's good, we'll continue tomorrow." Twilight Sparkle said after they finished, "Everycreature, make sure you share your dorms and meals with them tomorrow." Fluttershy instructed, and they entered the school and slept. The next day came and the humans were all in Rarity's class with Pinkie Pie as her assistant, she gave them sewing machines and instructed the humans from Volvox's country to make their own outfits, they finished and Rarity shrieked when she saw they all made the same uniform they were currently wearing, "No, everyhuman, you all are supposed to make your own unique outfit." Pinkie Pie instructed, "About that, this is the only outfit we know how to sew and make." a girl from Volvox's country explained, "Well, you all can start by making your uniforms from threads and cottons of different colors, I'll be able to work from there." Rarity said while smiling, and they did, "Very nice, now to make your outfits more different by adding various decorations." Rarity instructed and she and her students showed them how, "Um, Miss Rarity, is there a reason in this?" a boy asked, "Why, yes, this is to teach you how to express yourselves, and make yourself unique and stand out as an individual, living in unison and all being the same like how you were under Volvox's rule is something many people do not want." Rarity explained, and they continued class until it ended, they went to the other classes and Pinkie Pie taught them to open their emotions, Rainbow Dash tried to teach them how to have fun, Fluttershy taught them about other animals besides cats and dogs, and Applejack taught them the concepts of food with her apples. The days gone by with the humans from Volvox's country meeting with Starlight Glimmer for counseling and Sunset Shimmer showing them the humans of the world she stayed in, Volvox went back under his country after his sentence was over while Dommiel and Tom still commanded the humans, the Umibōzu began helping the ships sail through storms, the Gashadokuro became a tourist attraction in Equestria while it gave children piggyback rides, Orochi used its eight heads to rescue people drifting in sea from shipwrecks, and Phoenix revived himself naturally while Thunderbird's lightning came out of the thunderclouds and gathered together and they flew around the world. The humans eventually adapted and broke free from the habits Volvox's instilled onto them, they all began wearing different outfits, different hairstyles, and built houses and buildings of different shapes, sizes, and colors, some lived in the other countries while others returned to the island and lived with the other creatures peacefully. New RulerVolvox was a creature who was one of a kind and mysteriously created during prehistory, he has watched angels and demons live on Earth alongside the trilobites and dinosaurs, he befriended a demon named Dommiel and they watched history pass by. They watched the formations of vampires, werewolves, trolls, ghouls, goblins, elves, fairies, orcs, dwarfs, ogres, cyclopes, giants, dragons, monsters, and humans appear and they would go on to rule the Earth, they have also seen aliens arrive and influence ancient human civilizations while also seeing mythical creatures and ghosts roam the Earth. Modern times came and everything was mostly peaceful until one day, the apocalypse happened, and a global catastrophic war broke out and decimated the Earth. The war lasted for several years and everything was destroyed, most of Earth's waters have dried up, earthquakes and sinkholes everywhere, air in some parts of the world were poisonous to breathe in, civilizations burned to the ground, radiation everywhere, nature contaminated by demonic energy, places haunted by angry and vengeful ghosts, and humans and machines from the future coming to the present either to destroy or protect others. Volvox and Dommiel were on a small piece of uncontaminated or haunted land with about two hundred humans from present day, a ghoul, two magic birds, and about forty humans from the future, they were protecting the humans from any threats that arrive onto the land while the humans' ruler was an old man named Tom, he fought during the apocalypse and was using a cane to stand, "Can you believe it's been five years since the apocalypse, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "No, I remember ancient humans predicting an apocalypse happening one day, but it was nothing like what they thought it would be." Volvox answered, "Well, some of it was, we did have demons to fight, but they didn't predict aliens attacking us." Tom added, "Some of them did, but look at our world now, we've barely got enough to provide for everyone, we won't be around much longer at this rate." an old woman said, "I'll try contacting some of the space stations if we need any food or water, but I doubt it'll be enough." Volvox spoke, "Don't forget that a lot of parts of our lands have been transported to parts unknown as well." Dommiel reminded, "True, I still don't know where they went, but my guess is another dimension since it is the demons who started transporting parts of our lands randomly with their magic." Volvox remarked, and everybody went on with their days until the ground suddenly became to shake, "Is it a demon?" Tom questioned, "No, I think it's our turn to be transported now." Volvox replied, and everybody braced for impact and their land teleported. Twilight Sparkle and every other creature of their world were looking around and murmuring while they saw various parts of lands suddenly appearing everywhere and they had jagged and uneven edges, "Another one appeared over there near the Bone Dry Desert today." Rainbow Dash stated as she pointed south, "I still wonder what happened." Fluttershy said, "Yeah, so far, everythin's that's appeared has been completely decimated and no people." Applejack responded, "That's worrisome for me, too, Applejack, it's almost like some big disaster happened and wiped them all out." Twilight Sparkle said, "Still, I wonder what could have done it." Starlight Glimmer added, everybody felt rumbling between Equestria and Griffonstone and everybody watched. Another land appeared and everybody gasped when they saw people on it, everyone looked at Volvox first, he was three thousand feet tall, three hundred fifty feet wide, three hundred feet long, had three heads with each head being the same shape with the back of his heads shaped like semicircles and the front shaped like two right triangles that were back-to-back and did not have any ears or noses, his six eyes were slanted and monochromatic and did not have any pupils or irises and were on the sides of his head. The right half of his body and right head were gray and skeletal with black holes in place of his eyes and white teeth, the five claws on his right front foot and right hind foot were also made of gray bones; the left half of his body and his left head were pitch black like a shadow, the head's eyes and teeth and five claws on his left front foot and left hind foot were red; his center head, spine, and tail were pink and made out of a parasitic-like skin, his spine had yellow seven pointed star-like organic matters growing on him and each tip was sharp, the tip of his tail was yellow and shaped like a spear's tip with sharp tips on the back corners, and the center head's eyes and teeth, the seven-pointed organic stars, and his tail's tip were all yellow. Everybody kept looking and saw Dommiel next, he was about eight feet tall and had a muscular body, he was wearing a dark blue suit of armor with three red-orange organic spikes on his pauldrons, a white spike on the back of each couter, white spikes on the back of his bracers and gauntlets, a white spike on the top of each sabaton and the end of his sabatons were pointed and sharp, his cuirass did not have any decorations on it, and his leg armor were custom-made, he had one piece cover his entire shins and calves, knee pads, another piece covering his entire thighs, and a piece of armor that covered his groin and butt areas, Dommiel's helmet covered his entire head and left only his glowing red eyes exposed, he had three white horns on his helmet with two curved horns on the sides and one straight horn on his forehead. The ponies noticed many more people on the new island but they were too far to make out, they also noticed everybody seemed to be struggling to survive, "Nobody looks happy." Pinkie Pie commented, "Well, considering how decimated the other islands are, I don't think they have any reason to be smiling." Rarity replied, "What do you think of our surroundings, Volvox and Dommiel?" Tom asked while everyone looked at them, "Well, I am seeing some hostile looking spots here and there, but this place looks mostly friendly." Dommiel responded, "Agreed, a hostile place would've attacked us by now." Volvox added, his deep and booming voice from his center head surprised everybody, "Be on guard, everybody, there's always a chance we will be invaded later." Tom instructed, the humans nodded and picked up spears made from sticks with rocks as tips and tied with vines. The creatures watched the people plant food and harvest fruits, vegetables, and grains, everybody ate everything raw and drank plain water, "Oh, it seems they have some form of civilization." Rarity said, "Ah can see that by just how they're dressed." Applejack remarked, "Come on, everypony, let's at least welcome them here." Twilight Sparkle spoke, her five friends smiled and went into her hot air balloon. The Mane Six floated near the land and everybody saw the hot air balloon, "Intruders!" a man said, Tom and the teenage and adult humans began shooting arrows, bolts, and bullets at them, "No! Wait!" Twilight Sparkle hollered, Dommiel shot black shadow beams out of his eyes while Volvox shot three big orange blasts of hellfire out of his three mouths and Twilight Sparkle quickly teleported herself and her friends elsewhere while her hot air balloon got destroyed. They appeared on the ground and the humans shot more arrows and bullets at them, "Wait! Stop! We come in peace!" Twilight Sparkle hollered in her Royal Canterlot Voice as she caught the arrows, bolts, and bullets with her telekinesis and put up a shield around herself and her friends, everybody stopped attacking and she put her shield down, "I am Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship of Equestria, I am here to welcome you all to our world." Twilight Sparkle announced, "Finally, a creature that is not hostile." a man with a gruff voice spoke, "Sorry about that, we went through chaotic times and have been jumpy ever since." Tom explained, "Are those other pieces of land from your world?" Rarity asked, "Yes, every destroyed part of land that has appeared here is from our world." Dommiel answered, "What in tarnation happened to y'all's world?" Applejack questioned, "The apocalypse." Tom responded, the Mane Six's jaws dropped, "Seeing how everything is destroyed except this land, I can believe that, just what happened exactly?" Twilight Sparkle inquired, "These demons used four items at once and it triggered a chain event, we were invaded by creatures and attacked all over the world, we were invaded by aliens from other planets as well, the devices that triggered the apocalypse were activated in two very haunted areas of our world as well." Volvox explained, "What kind of creatures attacked you guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "You name it, demons, vampires, werewolves, trolls, ghouls, goblins, elves, fairies, orcs, dwarfs, ogres, cyclopes, giants, dragons, other humans, mutants, monsters, ghosts, zombies, Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, Harvesters, Yautja, Terminators, Cenobites, Maykrs, Apostles, Daedra, everywhere on Earth was a war zone." another man covered head to toe in a strange suit answered in a tired and traumatized tone, "There were so many bodies everywhere when the Apostles came, the God Hand had them feast on my friends when they arrived." a tall, muscular man in black armor added, "I had fun during the apocalypse to be honest, it meant a lot of business for me since I was already demon hunting before it began." a man in a red coat with white hair said, "Wow, it sounds like something out of a nightmare." Twilight Sparkle stated, "It was a nightmare." the man in the strange suit responded, "Most of us still have nightmares of what we experienced, all of the elders, adults, and teenagers here fought in the apocalypse." Volvox explained, "This isn't everybody, though, there are also some survivors from our world living in other parts." Dommiel added, "We're still on guard because before we were transferred here, remnants of our enemies would attack us every now and then." Tom stated, "Wow, don't worry, we won't attack y'all, maybe mah family and Ah can get y'all some food and soil." Applejack remarked, "We would appreciate that." Tom stated and Applejack smiled, "Well, we're here to welcome you all and be acquainted if that's not a problem." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Very well, I'm Volvox, I protect this area from any dangers that come here, I was the leader of the fighters during the apocalypse, I have abdicated my throne ever since the apocalypse ended." Volvox said, "Oh, I thought you were the ruler of this place." Rainbow Dash stated, "Former ruler." Volvox corrected, "I'm Dommiel, I'm a demon who sided with the others here when the apocalypse happened, I was Volvox's second-in-command and last line of defense during the war, I've retired from my role in the apocalypse as well." Dommiel stated, "So some of you demons defected?" Fluttershy questioned, "Just me and one other." Dommiel answered, "I'm Tom, I'm a veteran from the war, and as you all can see, I'm old and crippled now, I'm the ruler of this community." Tom spoke, "Do you have an official title, Tom?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Chief." Tom replied, "Chief Tom, I kind of like it." Rainbow Dash spoke, "Who is that there?" Twilight Sparkle asked as she pointed to a ghoul, he was muscular, had light blue skin, white monochromatic eyes, a strong jawline, shoulder-length straight black hair, and was shirtless and barefoot and only wore torn black pants, he had bandages around his hands with five knife blades on each hand, "That's Giovi, he's not one for words, he's a ghoul who helped us fight during the war." Tom explained, "What happened to his hands?" Rarity questioned, "His claws got cut off and he replaced them with knife blades." Tom answered, "Any other person of interest here?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "I am the Count of Saint Germain, I'm a time traveler who can go to either the past or the future, I was the strategist during the war." a man in futuristic armor stated, "The Count of Saint Germain tried his best to stop the apocalypse but stopping the people who triggered it usually only caused other people to trigger it, he also warned us about the Terminators going to the past, that's why me and my group are here." a man spoke, "Wait, y'all are from the future?" Applejack questioned, "Yeah, turned out some AI has waged war against us humans many years in the future and a war between human and machine is going on, the AI began sending its robots back to our time in an attempt to make us extinct in the future." Tom explained, the Mane Six's eyes' widened and jaws dropped, "Oh, your world sounds scary." Fluttershy spoke, "It was scary." Tom replied, "So, any other people of interest here we should know?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "Quite a few, actually." the man with the gruff voice responded, "And you are?" Twilight Sparkle inquired, "Sebastian Castellanos, I was a police detective investigating a gruesome case when the apocalypse happened, the man I was after was trying to make his monsters come from his world and into the real one." the man with the gruff voice answered, "Oh, so how's that case been?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's still a cold case." Sebastian answered, "Cold case?" Rainbow Dash asked, "It means it's still unsolved and open, Rainbow Dash." Twilight Sparkle explained, "So, what about that man covered head to toe in that strange suit, is he a person of interest?" Applejack questioned, "My name is Isaac Clarke, I'm an engineer who went to a ship called USG Ishimura to look for my girlfriend, but she was already gone when I got there, we got attacked by Necromorphs on that ship, I was the sole survivor of the attack, I was found drifting in space and Volvox brought me here with his telekinesis." the man in the strange suit said, "He doesn't sound too good." Rainbow Dash commented, "He isn't, I know that tone of voice anywhere, whatever he encountered on there traumatized him, who knows what horrors he has witnessed." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Isaac wasn't the only one found adrift in space after getting attacked by aliens, those four there were found as well." Volvox stated as he pointed to a man, a woman, a girl, and a man whose lower-body was missing and had tubes hanging out, "Who are y'all four?" Applejack questioned, "I'm Ellen Ripley, I was a warrant officer on the spaceship Nostromo and we picked up a hostile alien, I was the only survivor, I was then assigned to go with the Colonial Marines to deal with an infestation for them." the woman answered, "I am Bishop, I'm one of the survivors of that attack." the man with his lower-body missing stated, "I am Dwayne Hicks, and this here is Newt, I'm the only surviving Marine from that infestation." the man answered, "You all were attacked by Necromorphs, too?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "No, what we encountered are called Xenomorphs." Ripley responded, "Eventually, the Xenomorphs and Necromorphs came to our planet, but there were already two hostile aliens on our planet before they arrived, those two there dealt with them." Dommiel explained as he pointed to two men, "Who are y'all two and what did y'all two encounter?" Applejack asked, "I'm Alan Schaefer, people call me Dutch, my unit and I were sold out by a traitor and we got hunted down by a Yautja in the jungle, I'm the only survivor of my original team." the first man answered, "My name is R.J. MacReady, I don't know what I encountered, but it was this thing that was able to impersonate other people and animals almost perfectly, there was another survivor with me named Childs, but he didn't make it." the other man responded, "Hold on, did ya say this creature that attacked you was able to impersonate others?" Applejack inquired, "Yes, it mimicked their voices and behavior perfectly, too." MacReady answered, the Mane Six looked at him with horrified expressions, "That's scary." Fluttershy said, "It really is, I really hope that thing isn't running around somewhere out there." Twilight Sparkle added, "So, moving on, you, in the black armor, what's your name?" Rarity asked, "Guts." the man in the black armor responded, "The last person of interest is right there?" Volvox stated as he pointed to her, "And you are?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Kirsty, Kirsty Cotton, I dealt with the Cenobites during the apocalypse, they're not like the other attackers, they can be reasoned and bargained with." the woman answered, "Even then, Kirsty reported that the Cenobites tried to double-cross her, so trying to bargain with them is too risky." Volvox said, "What about you all from the future? Who are you guys?" Pinkie Pie inquired, "My name is John Connor, I'm the leader of the human resistance against Skynet and the Terminators." the man from the future replied, "Wow, you all must have had it rough." Twilight Sparkle said, "We still do, us survivors are now plagued by nightmares." Isaac responded, "I'm not." the man with the red coat and white hair remarked, "Who are you?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Name's Dante, I'm half human, half demon, my father's name was Sparda, he's the other demon who sided with humans during the apocalypse." the man with the red coat and white hair answered, "A hybrid? Wow, we've never seen a hybrid person here before." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "Alright, I think that's everybody of interest." Volvox stated, "Wait, what about him? I'm sensing some monstrous energy from him." Twilight Sparkle spoke as she pointed to man who had short black hair, a soul patch, and brown eyes, he was wearing a white sleeveless shirt, orange pants, and white shoes, "Oh, that's Torque, he's not one for words, either, we're kind of nervous having him here because he's like a magnet to certain monsters, but we decided to keep him here since he's a survivor and had nowhere to go." Dommiel explained, "Wait, what do you mean he's like a magnet to monsters?" Twilight Sparkle inquired, "Exactly what he means, for some reason, monsters are attracted to Torque, wherever he goes, the monsters follow." Sebastian answered, "In my case, it would be because I have a mark that brands me and attracts monsters, but Torque doesn't, so I don't know why the monsters are after him." Guts added, "So, is this everybody left from that big war?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "No, there are more survivors scattered throughout our world." Volvox replied, "Well, can you all group your island pieces together?" Twilight Sparkle requested, "I'll do it after you all leave." Volvox answered, "Okay, I'll let you know where everything is at, me and the others are called ponies, that big land there is all of our country, to your rights are dragons and griffons..." Twilight Sparkle explained, "Wait, did you say dragons?" a woman asked, they looked and saw them. Everybody got ready to attack, "Wait, everybody, they're friendly." Twilight Sparkle spoke, the humans and dragons glared at one another, "Sorry, but we have very unpleasant history with dragons." Dommiel explained, "Well, can you all at least give them a chance, I promise you all that they're not destructive." Twilight Sparkle requested, "Well, Chief Tom?" a man asked, "Keep your guards up just in case." Tom responded, Twilight Sparkle looked at them unamused while she noticed Volvox and Dommiel were ready to attack the dragons as well, "Anyway, as I was saying, to the north of us there are the crystal ponies and the yaks, to the south of Equestria are the seaponies and hippogriffs, the changelings have hives all over the world, the Saddle Arabians live in a desert within Equestria, and the kirins are there on border to you guys' west." Twilight Sparkle explained, Volvox and the others looked and saw Autumn Blaze waving at them and smiling, "I'll make myself very clear, if any of you cause us trouble, we will attack." Tom warned, "Oh, relax, y'all, we don't invade, all of the invaders we had in the past have been dealt with." Applejack responded, "How many invaders have you all had?" Volvox questioned, "Nine." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Nine invaders?" Dommiel asked, "Nightmare Moon, Discord, Queen Chrysalis, King Sombra, Tirek, Starlight Glimmer, Stygian, the Storm King, and Cozy Glow." Twilight Sparkle listed, "If you all are done, we would like to get on with our days." Tom said, "Oh, yes, we are, we were just here to welcome you all." Twilight Sparkle responded and she teleported herself and her friends away and Volvox then used his telekinesis to get all pieces of their world's land and fused them with the land he was on. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were standing in Canterlot Castle and watching the new land while the humans harvested crops, the Mane Six ran into the throne room, "Princess Celestia, those newcomers are a bit hostile." Twilight Sparkle reported, "I noticed, but they can't be blamed considering the state their land is in and if their story about all of the hostile creatures are true." Princess Celestia responded, "They're struggling with the small patch of land they're on alone, look at the other parts of their land that have been fused onto theirs, you can tell by looking at them that they are uninhabitable." Princess Luna added, they looked and saw the barren parts of the land were dry and unable to grow any food and there was no flora on some parts and no fauna on every part, "I can't even begin to fathom how much destruction they have suffered, but if they really are the last survivors of their world, then they're not going to last much longer." Princess Celestia said, "Ah was thinkin' about givin' them some food and beds." Applejack spoke, "Let's see how they do on their own first, and if they're struggling, we'll offer them our services." Princess Luna replied, "Everybody, listen up, what I'm about to say is very important. We're not in our home world anymore, so we have to adapt and respect the cultures and customs of every species here, it's just like back at home, when you visit a foreign place, you must live as they do, and accept the local customs, this place is no different." Tom spoke, "Oh, look at that, it seems they have some understanding of visiting a foreign land." Princess Luna chirped while smiling, "They seem pretty hostile themselves, but Ah'll wait and see if they warm up, I don't think them attacking us will do them any good since there's only like two hundred of 'em." Applejack said, "Still keep your guards up, my little ponies, just because they're small and there's a few doesn't mean they're weak, I'm sure they have a lot of dirty tricks up their sleeves, most of them are survivors of a war, too, and that Volvox and Dommiel have powers of their own as well." Princess Celestia reminded, "So... just leave them be for now and hope they warm up to us?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I believe that would be the best course of action." Princess Celestia replied smiling, "Come on, girls, let's just get on with our days and leave them be so they get comfortable around us." Twilight Sparkle instructed, and they left while Princess Celestia and Princess Luna smiled. Tom and the other humans tried to grow and harvest crops and teach their kids how to fight and defend themselves, Tom taught them how to use spears, Guts and Dante taught them how to use swords, and Sebastian and Dwayne taught them how to use guns, everybody finished and Dutch taught them how to make and set traps for capturing animals while MacReady taught others how to use a flamethrower and explosives, "You have anything to teach us, Ms. Ripley?" a girl asked, "Not really, if Xenomorphs arrive here, then I'll teach you all how to fight." Ripley responded, "How about you, Isaac?" a boy questioned, "No, I'm not much of a teacher, fixing technology isn't a job for kids, either." Isaac replied, "It really isn't, one mess up, and you can lose your life." John added, the kids looked on with horror, "Alright, kids, I think that's enough for one day, go ahead and rest." Tom instructed, and they ran around while cheering, "You think the places where we encountered our respective enemies will be transported here?" MacReady asked, "I hope not, and even then, the place where I fought my alien enemy is destroyed." Dutch answered, "I wouldn't count on it, when Volvox rescued me from Antarctica, he said his two birds found a pyramid there where the species of the alien you encountered and the one Ripley encountered have met one another before and were at war." MacReady revealed, "That's fine with me, just as long as they make one another extinct." Dutch answered, "Same here, those Xenomorphs can rot for all I care alongside the Necromorphs and the Harvesters." Ripley added, "I already added zombies, Apostles, Cenobites, Maykrs, and Daedra to my demon hunting business, maybe I should add aliens as well." Dante suggested, "We would appreciate that, Dante, it would help if you fought the Terminators as well." Tom responded, Dante chuckled, "How many Cenobites have you encountered so far?" Kirsty asked, "Two." Dante responded, "I'll leave hunting them down to you since I can only vanquish them and not put them down permanently." Kirsty commented, "Holy objects are effective against them like many other demons, Leviathan is their master, he's a demon, so they would be considered demons as well." Dommiel explained, "I'd still take fighting a Cenobite over an Apostle any day." Guts said, "I wouldn't fight either, the stuff I encountered in Ruvik's mind was bad enough." Sebastian remarked, "What about you, Torque, what kind of monsters did you fight?" another boy questioned, "Malefactors, they're another type of demons, they are manifested from tragedies in a certain area." Dommiel answered, "What kind of tragedies?" another girl asked, "Any tragedy, crime, death, violence, you name it, most Malefactors form from executions and cruelties." Volvox explained, "But why are they attracted to Torque for?" Newt questioned, "That's the thing, no one knows why." Tom replied, "My files said the Malefactors began coming to Torque as soon as he set foot on one of the two places where the apocalypse was triggered." Sebastian spoke, "One reason why they're not on this island is because me, Dommiel, Torque, Guts, and Dante already killed them." Volvox said, "Thankfully from what I heard, regular human weapons work on them, so our makeshift spears and guns will be effective." Dwayne remarked, "We'll keep an eye on the new pieces of islands connected to us tonight, it's usually at night when the monsters come, so be on guard, all of you." Tom ordered, the humans saluted him and everybody went around casually for their days while Volvox and Dommiel watched. Night time came and Volvox used his telekinesis to carry Bishop on the other parts, "Any signs of radioactivity, Bishop?" Tom asked, "Not in this area." Bishop responded, and Volvox continued carrying him around. Bishop looked around carefully while all of the other humans except Newt had their weapons ready, he examined the places and listened carefully, he heard groaning and Guts grunted when the mark on his neck began to ache, "Be on guard, Apostles might be in the area." Dommiel warned, and everybody held up their weapons. Volvox carried Bishop away and they heard moaning, thousands of floating ghosts appeared and they charged towards Guts. Guts began swinging his big sword around to fight them off while the others tried to shoot them but their guns except for Dante's had no effect, Volvox shot big hellfire blasts out of his mouths while Dommiel shot shadow blasts out. The spirits began to possess people and the adult humans tried to force them out with their willpower. The spirits then began to possess inanimate objects and the spears, guns, and blades of grass began flying around, Dommiel tried to use his powers to get them out while Volvox's eyes glowed light blue and he tried to use his spiritual energy to destroy the spirits. Torque realized his weapons were not using and he roared while he transformed, he was now shirtless, had blue skin, a blade replacing his right hand, and claws on his left hand. He ran forward while grunting and began swinging his right arm around to cut apart the spirits, he also thrusted his left hand forward and impaled them with his claws and threw them away from himself and they exploded on impact, many more spirits came and Torque made two chains come out of his back and they went into the ground, they came out and spun around and any spirit or possessed object that got hit got destroyed. Isaac used his stasis module to slow down the possessed people and objects and Volvox pulled the spirits out of them forcefully and shot hellfire blasts at them and destroyed them, Dommiel grabbed some of the people and objects Isaac slowed down and pulled the spirits out by hand and ripped them apart. The remaining few spirits flew out of the objects they possessed and flew forward but Guts and Dante quickly slashed them with their swords and destroyed them. Everybody except Volvox and Dommiel panted and Torque changed back to normal, the possessed humans forced the ghosts out with their willpower and Volvox shot orange hellfire beams out of his six eyes and destroyed the spirits, "Is everyone alright?" Tom asked, they nodded, "Volvox, I would like continue my examination of the islands." Bishop remarked, and Volvox carried him with his telekinesis. Bishop looked around the remaining parts of the island and found nothing of interest yet, he kept looking and stopped when he saw something, "Volvox, there is a strange item under that debris there." Bishop said, Volvox put Bishop down and used his telekinesis to move the debris and picked up a cube with familiar designs on the sides, "No, it can't be." Kirsty remarked, "I'm sorry, Kirsty, but it is, a Lament Configuration, someone who lived here must've tried to summon the Cenobites." Volvox responded, "Let's put it under the ground with the other artifacts, it's unfortunate we haven't found a way to destroy them yet." Dommiel added, and Volvox did, "I do not see anything else of interest." Bishop remarked, and Volvox carried him back with his telekinesis and everybody except Bishop slept. The next morning came and everybody saw Princess Celestia rising the sun, the humans gasped, "No way!" a woman said, "They can control the sun." a man stated, "What's so bad about that?" Newt asked, "Don't you know what that means? They can fry us on a whim." another man explained, "Then it would best to try to remain on their good side since we now know we risk getting burned to death by the sun if we anger those horses." Tom said, "It also would've been nice if we knew that earlier, they could've raised the sun sooner to destroy those monsters that were attracted to my mark." Guts responded, "Hmm, true, that would've been really helpful if they did that." Volvox remarked, "Hopefully, they will next time, even we were unable to control the sun back on our home world." Dommiel added, "No point dwelling on it, come on, everyone, let's check our crops." Tom instructed, and they did. Everybody harvested ripe food, watered the rest, trained in combat, and checked their weapons, "Excuse me, everyone." Princess Celestia stated, everyone saw her and Princess Luna arrive and they landed while Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike appeared, "I have noticed you all got attacked last night and couldn't help but hear you all talking about the sun." Princess Celestia said, "The sun destroys those ghosts." Volvox explained, "So do the monsters only appear at night?" Princess Luna questioned, "No, most come out in the night, some attack during the day as well." Sebastian replied, "Hmm, I see." Princess Luna commented, "What were you guys doing with Bishop last night?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Whenever there is a new place, I am sent to investigate since some parts of our world are not safe for organic beings to be on." Bishop explained, "What was that you all mentioned? Radi... raid..." Twilight Sparkle said, "Radiation." Volvox spoke, "What is it?" Spike questioned, "Well, there's several types of it, but the one we're referring to is harmful to us, it can cause sickness in us and make us mutate." Dwayne explained, the ponies and Spike eyes' widen, "We're mostly here to make sure you all are alright after last night, we're also wondering what that object you all took last night was." Princess Celestia spoke, "That box is what summoned the Cenobites, I used one before and summoned four of them to our world, I never seen such grotesque looking creatures in my life." Kirsty explained, "What are they like?" Applejack asked, "They are practitioners of pain and pleasure, they also grant wishes but they come with hefty prices." Kirsty explained, "These Cenobites sound untrustworthy already." Princess Luna remarked, "Another reason why we're here is because we noticed Torque transform into some creature last night, we'd like to know what that is." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Well, we're not sure what Torque transforms into, we just call it The Creature, but from we seen, he seems to be able to transform when he's under great stress and fighting a long battle." Tom explained, "Great stress during a long battle you say, maybe we can help him." Princess Luna suggested, "And lastly, Guts, I would like to examine that mark on your neck." Princess Celestia said, and he walked forward. Princess Celestia looked at the Brand of Sacrifice on Guts' neck and sensed demonic energy from it, "Hmm, I can sense evil energy from this already, a lot, too, but maybe I can remove it with my magic." Princess Celestia suggested, "I notice some dried blood here as well, it looks like it's painful when the demons are near." Princess Luna added, "I'm used to it." Guts remarked, "Don't be like that, Guts, it'd be better to get something like this removed than to keep it." Princess Celestia replied, "Perhaps it will mean less spirits for you all to deal with as well." Princess Luna said, "You should get it removed if that's the case, Guts, it'd make night time safer for all of us." Volvox stated, "I'll think about it." Guts responded, "It's a suggestion, I'll be in my castle if you decide you want it removed." Princess Celestia stated, and she and Princess Luna flew away while Twilight Sparkle teleported herself and her friends elsewhere. The Mane Six watched the new land from Ponyville and saw Tom instruct everybody on what to do for the day, "How are things over there?" Apple Bloom asked from behind, they turned around and saw her with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, "They don't look good, Apple Bloom, they got attacked last night, they're growing crops and can only eat one small meal a day, I don't see any water, most of the parts of their land can't grow crops, there's almost no plant life and absolutely no animal life, and they said some parts are uninhabitable for organic life." Twilight Sparkle explained, "Are they friendly?" Sweetie Belle questioned, "Well, they're a bit rough 'round the edges, but they seem to be good people." Applejack answered, "I'm guessing we can't visit them." Scootaloo remarked, "No, no, no, you all shouldn't, as you all saw last night, that land is dangerous." Rarity spoke, "I wonder if they'll migrate to here." Sweetie Belle said, "It's possible, from what I've seen, they won't be able to live much longer if they don't, and we'll welcome them to live with us if they do migrate." Twilight Sparkle replied, "That would mean making new friends." Pinkie Pie remarked, "Ah know, maybe we can have 'em work on the Apple family farm." Apple Bloom suggested, "It wouldn't hurt to try, come on, Apple Bloom, let's get pickin'." Applejack responded, and everybody went their separate ways. Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, and Silverstream were standing on Equestria's edge and watched the new land's natives, "I'm scared to go there after what happened last night." Ocellus said, "Yeah, me too." Sandbar replied, "You all scared of little ghosts?" Smolder taunted, "I... I don't like ghosts." Silverstream commented while shaking, "Oh, relax, you all know ghosts can't harm the living." Gallus commented, "Yona believe those ghosts can." Yona reminded, "They can, we all saw it last night." Sandbar added, "I hope Headmaster Twilight has a spell, we've never dealt with ghosts before besides that one time when Discord became one." Ocellus stated, "Those aren't the things that scare me the most." Silverstream spoke, "What scares you the most then, Silverstream?" Sandbar questioned, "What I heard that scruffy guy mention, a creature they just call the Thing, he said it can mimic other people and animals perfectly, I'm scared to encounter that." Silverstream explained, "I was wondering about it, if it can mimic other lifeforms, then maybe us changelings can counter its abilities with our own shapeshifting powers." Ocellus suggested, "Yona doubts it." Yona remarked, "Well, let's keep watching them, we still got time before our classes start." Sandbar stated, and they watched the new land. Twilight Sparkle was in her castle and wrote a letter to Sunset Shimmer and asked her to come back to Equestria, she walked back and forth in front of the mirror while waiting for Sunset Shimmer. The mirror lighted up several minutes later and Sunset Shimmer arrived, "Twilight!" Sunset Shimmer hollered joyfully, she almost fell over and Twilight Sparkle showed her how to stand in her pony form, they hugged one another and let go, "Glad you made it, Sunset, I was wondering if the people who got transferred here were from the world you're staying in." Twilight Sparkle stated, "I doubt it, my world is still peaceful, and everything's still intact, there's no threat from aliens or demons, either." Sunset Shimmer responded, "I figured, come on, I'll show you the place." Twilight Sparkle said, and she led her outside. They went to Equestria's eastern border and saw the land, "Oh, no, they're definitely not from my world, my world doesn't have any creatures like that three headed guy there or that guy with the horns on his helmet there, we don't have machines like that human-like one there, either." Sunset Shimmer said, "Plus, your world's people sound happy, those guys aren't, especially that Isaac guy there, and that there is Torque, he's able to transform into some kind of monster." Twilight Sparkle stated, "I saw that in your message, I wonder if he's empowered by some kind of magic." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Maybe, I also heard them talk about the Malefactors which are attracted to Torque, we haven't seen any Malefactors yet, but from what we heard, they are born from hatred and tragedies, Princess Cadence and I are wondering if love and friendship can pacify them." Twilight Sparkle explained, "That sounds like a good plan, I'll stay here and watch them and see what they do." Sunset Shimmer spoke, Twilight Sparkle smiled and they walked back to Ponyville. Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, Giovi, and the Count of Saint Germain watched everybody and it was a normal day, an earthquake began and a big island appeared to the south of the world. Everybody looked and saw an island that was all dried land with a snowstorm going on and several domes, Volvox moved it to their land with his telekinesis and stopped when he saw mutants on it, they roared and started to go into the water. Ripley, Dwayne, Dutch, MacReady, John, Sebastian, and Torque fired their guns while Isaac used his plasma cutter, Giovi teleported around and slashed the mutants with his blades while Volvox shot hellfire out of his eyes and disintegrated them. The natives watched with surprise while everybody listened, they saw four people in hazmat suits and gas masks come out of hiding and they got ready to attack, "Wait, don't shoot." one man said, Tom recognized his voice, "It's alright, everyone, he and the other three helped us fight in the war." Tom spoke, "Come to our island and unveil yourselves." Dommiel said, and they did. The two adults and two kids took off their suits and saw a man, a woman, a teenage boy, and a toddler boy, "It's alright, everyone, this is Harvey, his wife Orchid, their son Nick, and their adopted son Lance, they helped us fight and survive during the apocalypse." Tom explained, the world's natives looked at them with surprise. Harvey, Nick, and Lance had the upper-right part of their faces replaced with silver metal and red robotic right eyes with Harvey's and Nick's left eyes were blue while Lance's left eye was brown, alien right foots that were dark red on top and dark orange on their undersides and black claws replacing their toenails, silver robotic left foots, silver robotic right hands, dark red and dark orange left hands with black claws, two bat-like wings coming out of their backs with dark red digits, dark orange membranes, and black spikes on their ends, there were silver robotic parts on the wings as well, they also had gills on the sides of their necks, dark red and dark orange alien abdomens with silver robotic parts in some areas, alien tails coming out of their tailbones with the top dark red, the bottom dark orange, and three curved gray horns protruding from their heads with one straight horn coming out of the center of their foreheads and two curved horns above their ears, all three of them were shirtless, barefoot, and wearing only torn black pants. Orchid had pale skin, an hourglass body shape, an inverted triangular face shape, green eyes, and red hair that was a bob and went just past her ears; she was wearing a long-sleeve shirt, pants, shoes, and a cape that went halfway down her back that were all a light beige, she had five small round jewels in the center of her chest on her shirt and formed a star, the left jewel was a red ruby, the lower-left jewel was a yellow topaz, the lower-right jewel was a green emerald, the right jewel was a blue sapphire, and the top jewel was a purple amethyst. The world's natives looked at Harvey, Nick, and Lance with surprise at their appearances, "It's a relief to see more survivors, my wife, son, and Lance here have been having a hard time surviving with the others." Harvey spoke, "There are others?" Tom asked, "Yes, they're in the domes over there, I don't have any exorcism or magic to conceal us other than making fog, so dealing with ghosts has been difficult." Orchid replied, "What are you all doing?" John questioned, "We were looking around since we heard noises outside, the machines are busy being repaired right now." Nick answered, "We also thought we heard someone calling for help outside but it looked like it was those mutants there were staging an ambush." Lance added, "I see, I'll go ahead and send Bishop to look." Volvox stated, and he picked him up with his telekinesis. Bishop examined the place while finding no forms of life, "There is a rather big crater there." Bishop commented, "That's where the alien Lavos emerged, he shot his spines out and made this part of the world inhabitable, no food can grow here either." Volvox explained, "Thankfully, we were able to heal ourselves with magic and preserve some food from other parts of the world, foreigners are coming to give us food, too, but most of us here have long passed." Harvey spoke, "Bring the others here, you all can stay with us." Tom stated, "We found a group of friendly survivors, everybody." Nick hollered, and mutated humans came out of the domes and walked to them. The world's natives looked at them with shock and Twilight Sparkle and teleported herself to their land with the rest of the Mane Six, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer, "What happened to you guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, "This is what happens when organic beings are exposed to radiation, they are mutated, that is why I am sent to explore new areas, us machines are immune to its effects." Bishop explained, "Can we change them back to normal?" Fluttershy asked, "We haven't found a way to." Nick replied, "Dommiel, Giovi, and I already tried with our magic to no avail." Volvox said, "My magic has not worked, either." Orchid added, "Maybe we can try with our magic." Twilight Sparkle suggested, "Why are you four out in the radiation for?" Newt asked, "I can shield myself from it with my magic to an extent." Orchid answered, "Me, Nick, and Lance are part human, part machine, part mutant, and part alien, it has granted us partial immunity to it, but we still have to wear suits to protect ourselves." Harvey explained, "What? Were y'all born that way?" Applejack inquired, "No, before I met Orchid, I was captured and experimented on to be a living weapon, Nick was chosen when he was eighteen, and Lance got taken when Nick escaped, I'm Ultimate Being One, Nick's Ultimate Being Two, and Lance is Ultimate Being Three." Harvey replied, "That reminds me, Orchid, we use magic as well, our magic is very versatile, it is powered by love and friendship as well." Twilight Sparkle stated, "My magic's not powered by love or friendship, I control the elements of nature, fire, water, earth, wind, and lightning to be specific." Orchid said, "Hmm, might be different from ours." Starlight Glimmer remarked, "So is mine, I use shadow magic, and Giovi there uses mostly telekinesis." Dommiel stated, "Your magic seems specific, too, Volvox." Twilight Sparkle spoke, "Yeah, fire magic, but not ordinary fire, I use hellfire magic, it is much hotter and stronger than regular fire." Volvox explained, "Do you have any parties in your place?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Not really, we do celebrate birthdays, but it's small." Nick answered, "What about the machines, do they party?" Pinkie Pie asked, "No, but now that you mention it, we should get them here to help defend this place." Harvey replied, and Volvox carried Bishop to the dome they were in and he programmed them, "It is done, Volvox." Bishop said loudly, and he took him out. Everybody heard metallic footsteps and they saw the robots and Fluttershy quivered, "They look scary." Fluttershy commented, "What you all are looking at are Terminators, we managed to reprogram some of them to protect us during the apocalypse, most Terminators also have human-like organic matter on their bodies to blend in with us, these don't." John explained, "It caused a big confusion at first when John saw me and thought I was a Terminator, I saw an enemy one and noticed their outside appearance looked like they were modeled after me." Dutch said, "What are you, Bishop? You don't seem to be a Terminator." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "I am an android, I'm also called a Synthetic and an artificial person, or AP for short." Bishop answered, "I think you all's world is going to be run by these machines sooner or later." Rarity commented, "It's already happened in some areas." John responded, "That reminds me, Volvox, we have contact with the UAC, Samuel Hayden is monitoring us from outer space and giving us weapons to protect us." Harvey stated, "Go ahead and try to contact him, let's see if he's been transferred as well." Volvox replied, Harvey nodded and he got a device with his telekinesis. He brought a portable screen and a button to press on it, he pushed it and the screen came on, static appeared and the screen fixed itself, everybody saw a white robot with a light blue light on its face, "Hello, this is the chairman of the UAC, Samuel Hayden." the robot said, "Hey, Samuel, it's me again, my land just got transferred to another world, some of the other survivors from our world are here, too." Harvey stated, Samuel looked around and saw the world's natives through his screen, "Hold on, I'll check my station and see if I've been transferred as well or not." Samuel said, and he gave orders and checked where he was located, "Yup, I've been transferred, too, I'm right above your land and still in space." Samuel stated, "How is the Doom Slayer?" Volvox asked, "He's just sitting around and behaving himself right now, but he's eager to get back into battle." Samuel answered, "Haha, I knew he would be." Dante commented, "Anyway, I've got things to do up here, so I'll be busy, so over and out." Samuel spoke and he ended the transmission, "How the Doom Slayer is still determined and willing to fight after so many battles and so long is beyond me." Isaac spoke, "No kidding, into Ruvik's mind one time was enough for me." Sebastian added, "I guess it's his natural character, come on, guys, let's get you all settled." Tom said, and they did. The new humans were informed of everything that has happened and another piece of land soon appeared to the south again, they looked and saw all forest and a yellow car driving around, "Wait, is that who I think it is?" Guts asked, the yellow car drove to them the driver came out, it was a man with short black hair, wearing a torn blue shirt, and brown pants, he had a sawed-off shotgun holstered on his back and a fake right hand, "So there are other survivors after all." the man spoke, "Who are you?" a little girl asked, "Name's Ash, baby, professional zombie exterminator." the man revealed, "He helped us fight during the apocalypse, he was best at holding back the zombies." Tom explained, "They're specifically called Deadites, but yeah, killing zombies is basically my specialty." Ash said, "All survivors are gathering here, Ash, you're welcome to stay if you have nowhere to go." Volvox spoke, "Thanks, my car's getting low on gas anyway." Ash spoke, and he parked his car and came out. Ash got his chainsaw out of his car and then began examining his shotgun, "How have things been for you, Ash?" Kirsty asked, "Not so good, ever since I escaped the cabin, I went back to working as a store clerk and more monsters attacked, I escaped since my boomstick and chainsaw aren't effective on some of them." Ash explained, "Did you see my partners, Leslie, or Ruvik there?" Sebastian asked, "Sorry, but no." Ash answered, another land appeared to the south and everybody looked. They saw black masses with red outlines everywhere on the land, "What the?" Newt exclaimed, "The land's cursed." Dommiel answered, everybody looked at it and saw everything looked dead and scrolls were floating around, "What do you think, Cadence?" Shining Armor questioned, "I can tell it's dangerous by just looking at it, but I don't think I can cure that type of curse." Princess Cadence answered, Flurry Heart cooed while holding her hooves out, "I'm sorry, Flurry Heart, but you saw the place, it's dangerous, we can't risk going there because of the radiation." Princess Cadence spoke, Flurry Heart looked down, "Hmm, that cursed land looks similar to Sombra's dark magic, I'm wondering if I have spells that can undo it." Sunburst commented, "Do you have any ideas on how to cure the curse, Orchid?" Lance questioned, "Yes, I do, see that dead tree there? That's a magically enchanted tree, it has to bloom again to destroy this curse, but I do not have the magic or spell to do it myself." Orchid explained, "What do we do then?" Dwayne asked, "I'll keep it away from our land for now." Volvox responded, and everybody got on with their days. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna looked at the cursed land along with the Mane Six, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, the Young Six, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Spike, "You think you can undo it, Princess Celestia?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I'm not sure, I can sense a malevolent energy from it all the way here, it seems to be a bit similar to King Sombra's dark magic, but it also seems to be a bit different." Princess Celestia explained, "If what Orchid said is true, then we need to get that tree to bloom, but we have to find a way to revive it first." Princess Luna stated, "I'm sure Twilight has a spell for it." Sandbar said, "I do, but getting to the tree is going to be the hard part." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I'm hoping there's someone there who can make the tree bloom." Silverstream spoke, "Me too, but I don't see anybody." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Ah wonder if it's like the Tree of Harmony." Apple Bloom commented, Discord appeared with them, "Oh, no, it most certainly is not, that tree there simply undoes the evil energy there." Discord explained, "And how do ya know that?" Applejack inquired, "Your dear friend Pinkie Pie knows the answer." Discord responded, "I think we might be able to fly over the cursed parts to the tree." Gallus suggested, "No, Gallus, look, the cursed energy goes into the sky as well." Princess Luna replied, he looked and saw faint vapors in the sky, "So, what do we do?" Ocellus asked, "Let's wait and see if they have something to help them, if not, we'll try to get rid of the evil energy." Princess Celestia stated, and they continued watching. Volvox looked at the cursed land and turned back, "Phoenix, Thunderbird, we need your helps." Volvox said, and red fire and blue lightning burst out of the ground and they formed into two birds that flew in the sky, "I need you two to examine that new land there and see if there's anything that can undo the curse." Volvox explained and they flew. Phoenix and Thunderbird flew up high into the air and looked at the cursed land and examined it closely, demonic fish flew out of the water and attacked them, Phoenix shot fireballs out of his mouth while Thunderbird shot lightning bolts out of his, Volvox shot three hellfire blasts out of his mouths and into the water, the demonic fish turned into ash and fell while more ash came to the surface. Phoenix and Thunderbird flew around more and crows wearing Japanese clothing and wielding katanas appeared, they got ready to fight but a reflector appeared and they turned into flowers and disappeared when the wind blew. Everybody heard running on the cursed island and saw an adult wolf with white fur, red markings, and a reflector on her back, "It's Amaterasu." a middle aged woman said, "She helped us a lot in fighting the monsters and demons, she's a veteran from the apocalypse as well." Dante explained to the kids, Amaterasu then proceeded to paint black ink around the big tree with her tail and it bloomed, flowers appeared and spread out and the cursed energy disappeared while all of nature came back, the ponies watched with awe at what they saw. Amaterasu ran to the others and the adults patted her head, "Good to have you back, Amaterasu." Tom commented, Amaterasu barked, "Is that you, Tom, you really have gotten old, gramps." a boy as small as a bug with a green light around him stated, "I see you're well, too, Issun." Tom remarked dryly, "Ammy and I have been traveling from place to place and dealing with monsters and curses, but there are some where her celestial brush techniques don't work on." Issun said, "Didn't think so, Dante and Guts will deal with them, Dommiel's there to help us, too, and Orchid's there." Tom said as he pointed to them, "Is there anyone else in the land there?" Volvox called out, everybody heard flying and saw a big moth and a big pterandon flying to them, "Look! It's Mothra." a little girl chirped, "It's good to see Rodan's doing fine, too." a teenage boy replied, everybody heard loud thuds and a big dinosaur-like creature came out of an underground cave, "Who is that?" a little boy asked, "That's Anguirus, he's another veteran from the apocalypse." Tom explained, and he walked forward, "Guys! There's someone huge in the water here." Princess Skystar called out, Volvox looked and saw him, "It's no use hiding, Godzilla, I can see you from here." Volvox called and Godzilla walked onto the land and roared, "So, is this all of the veterans?" Newt questioned, "No, there's two more prominent ones, they're both secluded." Volvox answered, and he then connected the no longer cursed island to their land. He then sent Bishop forward with his telekinesis to look for any survivors, "Ammy and I got an animal shelter started." Issun stated, "Where is it?" Bishop asked, Amaterasu ran and Volvox carried Bishop behind her, they found the animal shelter and Amaterasu led them to the new land, the various animals looked around, "Look at that, there are surviving animals after all." Dommiel commented, "Won't be surprised if they're the last of their kinds." Volvox responded, and everybody watched while Amaterasu fed the animals and the newcomers adjusted. Night time came and everybody was on alert, they heard blades scraping on the new islands and everyone saw monsters with blades replacing their hands and feet coming, "Malefactors!" one man yelled, Torque ran forward while holding two revolvers and began shooting them, he killed several and monsters with gun turrets on their backs burst out of the ground. They crouched and began firing their gun turrets at Torque while he rolled around, he grunted and fell when one hit him, he heard walking in the waters and saw bloated monsters holding metal balls emerging from the sea. Volvox shot hellfire blasts out of his front feet while Dommiel shot big shadow blasts out of his hands, Harvey, Nick, and Lance shot red lasers out of their right hands, Orchid shot fire out of her ring fingers, water out of her index fingers, a yellow beam and rocks out of her pinkies, wind out of her thumbs, and lightning out of her middle fingers, and everybody else but Guts and Amaterasu fired their guns while Kirsty kept the children away from the monsters. Guts slashed the Malefactors with his sword while grunting loudly and angrily and Amaterasu used her reflector, Dante used his sword when the monsters got too close to him for him to use his two pistols, Ash fired his boomstick and reloaded after every two shots, he used the chainsaw replacing his right hand when the monsters were near him. Giovi slashed the Malefactors walking to the land and their stomachs opened, explosive rats came out and ran to them, Volvox shot hellfire blasts and Godzilla shot his blue atomic breath out of their mouths and destroyed the Malefactors while some of the ones with bladed limbs came back to life, "What the?" a man asked, "You have to destroy their heads." Dommiel explained, and everybody did. A Malefactor with bladed limbs in black armor and smoke around it appeared and began attacking Torque. Torque grunted and got back up, the Malefactor pressed its arm blades on the ground and three more Malefactors with bladed limbs came out, he fought them while the other humans tried shooting the black armored Malefactor but their bullets bounced off, "It's no use, everyone, only Torque's Creature form works against that type." Volvox stated, Mothra shot a blast out of her antennae at the Malefactor and it had no effect. Torque roared angrily and transformed into The Creature, the Malefactor hissed while holding its arms up. Torque grunted while swinging his bladed right arm around and cut it into pieces, he then looked at the big Malefactors coming from the water and bent down, three machine guns came out of his back and they fired and every Malefactor around him exploded, he then roared again and changed back to normal, "I think that's all of them." Guts stated, "Come on, everyone, bedtime, we'll rebuild in the morning." Tom said, and everybody went to sleep while the world's natives watched them worriedly. Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Harvey, Orchid, Nick, Lance, Ripley, Newt, Dwayne, Dutch, John, MacReady, Kirsty, Ash, Godzilla, Anguirus, Mothra, Rodan, Guts, Isaac, Torque, Sebastian, Dante, Amaterasu, Issun, and the older members of the land all tossed and turned while they had nightmares, they sprung awake covered in cold sweat while Torque screamed and everyone tried to wake him up, he eventually woke up and panted heavily. They all looked around and saw themselves in the peaceful world and took deep breaths, "Are you all okay?" a young girl asked, "Yeah, hold on, we'll harvest crops and water them when we recover." Tom responded, and they calmed down. The humans harvested crops and Orchid watered them with her magic, "Look at that, we're still having nightmares of the apocalypse." Dommiel said, "I think all of us were traumatized by that war." Dante replied, "Come on, everyone, there's nothing we can do but keep moving forward." Tom stated, and they got on with their days. Mothra and Amaterasu checked the remaining land for any survivors or items of interest, Mothra found no survivors while Amaterasu dug the ground and she barked, "What is it?" Dwayne asked, Amaterasu put her head in the hole and check out an egg shaped item with her mouth, "What the? No way." Guts commented, Volvox took the item with his telekinesis, "A Beherit? Here?" Volvox questioned, "We have to destroy it, Volvox!" Guts demanded, "I know, but we haven't found anything that works yet." Volvox responded, "Excuse me." Princess Celestia said from above and everyone saw her, "Since you all want to destroy it, I would like to know what it does." Princess Celestia stated, "They summon a group called the God Hand, they're the five rulers of the Apostles, Guts' mark hurts like crazy when they're near, this item is one of the four items that triggered the apocalypse back on our world." the Count of Saint Germain explained, "I'll bury it for now." Volvox commented, and he put it under the ground and Princess Celestia flew back. Everybody got on with their days like normal until another island appeared to the south, it was snowing and a wooden cabin was there, the door opened and an old man with short white hair and a moustache came out, "Wait, is that Snake?" Ripley asked, "It is." Volvox answered, "Wow, he has aged." Dommiel added, and Volvox moved the island to connect it to theirs. Snake walked to them, "I'm surprised to see more survivors of the apocalypse." Snake remarked, "Who is this?" a boy asked, "Solid Snake, he's one of the last two prominent veterans from the apocalypse, he was vital in helping us fight the aliens." a middle aged man responded, "What happened to you, Snake?" Tom asked, "Accelerated aging." Snake answered, "I figured, considering you're a clone, you would age faster than the person you were cloned from." Harvey commented, "I thought I was the last survivor, I don't have contact with anyone, there's no people where I live, either." Snake said, "I'd like for you to stay with us, Snake, we're trying to rebuild and survive, we can use your skills in fighting off the monsters attacking us at night." Tom spoke, "I'll do it." Snake replied, "Thank you, Snake, I hope you like it here." Tom commented, and Snake walked to them, "Whoa there, Snake, every other place except here is teeming with radiation, I'll bring you over." Volvox said, and he brought Snake over with his telekinesis. Snake got to know new people while also reuniting with Ripley, Newt, Dwayne, Bishop, Dutch, MacReady, John, Harvey, Orchid, Nick, and Lance, "Got Terminators reprogrammed, huh?" Snake commented, "Yeah, but these are the only ones from where we're from." Nick stated, "Still, nice job." Snake remarked, "Thanks." Lance responded, and they got on with their days. Everything returned to normal until another land appeared to the east and Volvox connected it to theirs, "Wow, that place is barren." a teenage boy commented, "I see footprints, though." a little girl remarked, Volvox looked at them, "This is the home of the last prominent veteran from the apocalypse, leave him." Volvox instructed, "Why?" another little girl asked, "He's not good with people, everyone's out to attack him as well." Dommiel answered, everyone heard footsteps and saw the last veteran, it was an eight foot tall man with green skin and eyes, short black hair, and wearing nothing but ripped purple pants. The green man looked at them for a second and then sat, the teenagers walked to him, "Hey, we're gathering over here." a teenage boy stated, "Leave Hulk alone!" the green man hollered, the people moved back, "But we're all friends here." a teenage girl commented, "Leave Hulk alone, Hulk have no friends, Hulk not welcome anywhere, Hulk wanted dead wherever Hulk goes." Hulk responded, a girl tried to walk forward but Torque touched her shoulder and shook his head, "It's alright, Hulk, no one here will harm you." Guts commented, "Guts and Torque safe, Hulk relieved." Hulk remarked, "Huh? Why are you nicer to them?" a little boy asked, "Torque understand Hulk. Guts understand Hulk. Doom Slayer understand Hulk. All anger and rage incarnate like Hulk." Hulk explained, "I would like to speak to Bruce, Hulk." Tom said, "Bruce gone, Hulk has taken over completely." Hulk replied, "Well, so much for someone trying to find a way to grow crops all over this barren and radiation filled island." Harvey remarked, Hulk opened a can of canned beans and ate them, "You mind sharing some of those beans with us?" Ash questioned, "Beans for Hulk only." Hulk stated, "So much for getting food from the Jolly Green Giant." an old man remarked, "No, that's his rival, Hulk would replace Popeye and his spinach." Ash responded, "Let's just leave him be, everybody, Hulk has a very bad temper, too." Volvox responded, and everybody walked away and got on with their days. Princess Celestia and the other rulers were in Canterlot and having a meeting, "I have called you all here because of that land, as you all see, they are struggling to survive, and they're not growing enough crops to feed everyone, sooner or later, they will start migrating to our lands in hopes of surviving." Princess Celestia explained, "What? Migrate? No way, I am not letting them into the Dragon Lands after they almost attacked us on sight, my father and fellow dragons don't want them, either." Princess Ember declared, "Me neither, I don't want that giant lizard that emerged in the water making his home in my country." Queen Novo added, Princess Celestia looked out a window and at Godzilla, she looked back a second later, "What about the rest of you?" Princess Celestia questioned, "Nope, they don't seem to have any money, they're not welcome to Griffonstone until otherwise." Grampa Gruff declared, "Well, Pharynx and I have talked about inviting them, but they're a bit rough around the edges, they will scare the young changelings easily." King Thorax commented, "Yak hope foreigners friendly, but yaks like Hulk in particular." Prince Rutherford said, "I wouldn't mind them coming as long as they're friendly and respect our way of life." Rain Shine stated, "Us crystal ponies stand the same with the Equestrian ponies." Princess Cadence spoke, "Of course you would, you ponies are all friendship and acceptance this, friendship and acceptance that, of course you all would welcome them." Princess Ember remarked, "Now, now, Ember, me, my sister, Cadence, and the Pillars are not ready to straight up accept them, we're ready to fight if they're hostile." Princess Celestia stated, "Yak believe people will migrate to land where food grow." Prince Rutherford stated, "Hmm, true, a place like Yakyakistan wouldn't be able to produce much crop, neither would the Dragon Lands or Griffonstone for that matter, or the Hive, they would more likely to go to either here, Mount Aris, or Kirin Grove." Princess Luna replied, "I wouldn't mind them coming to Mount Aris so they can survive just as long as they don't cause any trouble." Queen Novo stated, "I don't care if they're friendly or not, I'm throwing them out if they come to the Dragon Lands." Princess Ember declared, "Ember, I don't think that would be very wise, you have seen how powerful Volvox and those other four creatures as gigantic as him are." Princess Celestia reminded, "My father can take them." Princess Ember stated, "Well, some of you won't allow them, but I believe we should at least try to welcome them if they do migrate to our lands." King Thorax said, "Agreed, and if they're troublemakers and criminals, we either arrest them or deport them." Princess Celestia replied, "I think it's mostly settled then, we'll try to welcome them, but you all are free to do what you all wish back in your countries." Princess Cadence stated, "Well, with that, this meeting is finished, dismissed." Princess Celestia stated, and everybody left the room and headed home while Princess Celestia and Princess Luna walked back to their thrones. Tom counted the crops harvested and realized there was not enough to feed everybody, he then looked at Hulk and saw him eating more canned beans while Amaterasu tried her best to feed the animals. Another land appeared to the southeast and everybody saw a big UFO hovering over it, "Harvesters! Take cover, everybody!" Tom commanded, and they ran while the UFO shot a beam down and destroyed the land under it. The UFO began hovering to them slowly and some of the younger humans shot arrows and bullets at it, "No! Don't! It won't work!" a middle aged man hollered, an energy shield came up around the UFO and the arrows and bullets got deflected. Harvey, Nick, and Lance began trying to disable the UFO's energy shield with their psychic powers while smaller ships came out of it. Mothra, Rodan, Phoenix, and Thunderbird flapped their wings around and powerful wind gusts made the ships fly crookedly while the energy shields protected them Phoenix's fire waves and Thunderbird's lightning strikes, Volvox slapped the smaller spaceships with his front legs and they got destroyed and fell to the ground, Godzilla also swatted them out of the sky with his arms and Anguirus bit them with his teeth and destroyed the attacking ships. Some of the flying ships fell into the water and other countries and their natives screamed, the Harvesters came out and began attacking immediately. The ponies screamed while some of the unicorns tried to hold them back with their telekinesis, the dragons overpowered and destroyed them, the griffons were at a stalemate, the changelings shifted and restrained them, the yaks were at a stalemate, the seaponies and hippogriffs tried to hold them back, and the kirins turned into niriks and burned them. Amaterasu painted black ink with her tail and a very strong wind appeared, the flying ships struggled to fly and some began to fall, Hulk ran and punched them while grunting angrily, the ships flew through the sky and landed in Mount Aris and broke apart. The people on the island destroyed the Harvesters and they focused on the UFO, Anguirus jumped and rammed the spikes on his back into the UFO and only put a dent in it, Amaterasu then drew horizontal marks with the ink on her tail to slash the UFO but it had no effect. Godzilla looked at Hulk and tilted his head and Hulk nodded, he ran at high speeds and leaped into the air, he grabbed onto Godzilla's tail and he swung his tail forward, Hulk went through the air and he screamed with rage and grew bigger, he punched the UFO and it broke into pieces and debris fell everywhere. The world's natives exclaimed and screamed while Hulk fell and landed on the ground, he shook the world while putting a huge crater in the ground. Volvox, Giovi, Harvey, Nick, Lance, and some of the mutated humans gathered the Harvesters and their vehicles with their telekinesis, they separated them and Godzilla obliterated the Harvesters with his atomic breath. Volvox used his telekinesis to move Bishop to the new land while Godzilla and Hulk walked to it, “Wait, they can enter radiation filled areas just fine?” Applejack asked, “Yup, Godzilla and Hulk were mutated by radiation, nuclear radiation in Godzilla’s case and gamma radiation in Hulk’s, they can enter radiation filled areas with no problems as a result.” Dommiel explained, “That reminds me, can you all keep the debris from your fights within your country?” Princess Ember demanded, “Us dragons do not appreciate another country’s trash in our lands, we will throw them back without a care if anything gets destroyed.” Dragon Lord Torch added, Godzilla and Hulk faced him and Godzilla roared angrily while Hulk screamed with rage and got bigger, "Get mad all you want, I won't budge on my orders." Princess Ember said, "Hulk smash puny dragon!" Hulk roared, Godzilla roared in agreement, "I'll fight you two if you two don't like it, I'll take both of you on at the same time if I have to." Princess Ember declared, "That would mean declaring a war on us and having to fight me as well." Guts remarked, "You think I'd be scared of a person with a big sword?" Princess Ember questioned, "My sword is literally called Dragon Slayer." Guts stated, the dragons reeled back in shock, "Also, this isn't my only weapon, I've been holding back in my battles." Guts added, "You still wanna risk going into battle with us?" Volvox asked, "I will if it comes to that, but if you all don't want it, keep your enemies' remains and debris out of our country." Princess Ember demanded, and she flew away. Bishop, Godzilla, and Hulk went back to looking for any survivors and found none, "Volvox, can you move me to the part they destroyed?" Bishop requested, and he did, he examined the crater and looked at the pieces of land, "Strange, I can't find anything here, it's almost like the Harvesters just wanted to destroy land for the sake of it." Bishop commented, John programmed the Terminators and they began walking to the land, they searched the ground and dug it up, chains came out and cut the Terminators apart. The creatures moved to where the land's inhabitants were and to Torque, "More Malefactors!" Tom stated, the creatures burst out of the ground and swung their chains forward. Torque jumped back while everybody fired at the creature, it burrowed back into the ground and Snake threw a grenade into the hole, it exploded and the creature came out and fell dead, another creature came out and Torque shot it with his revolvers. Volvox and Dommiel looked and saw more Malefactors coming and going to Torque, Dommiel disappeared and the creatures suddenly came out of the ground and they fell dead while everybody saw Dommiel in their shadows and attacking them, he returned to his post afterwards. Everybody went back to the land and tried to harvest more crops until another piece of land appeared to the north, Volvox got ready to connect it but stopped when he got a bad feeling, "What is it?" Tom asked, "I feel a malevolent energy." Volvox replied, "Me too." Dommiel added, "Could it be demons?" Dante asked, "No, but similar." Dommiel answered, they heard walking and soon saw humanoid creatures with black and red skin, black hair, and brown horns on their heads, they were wearing black and red armor and carrying big swords, "Mortals are there." one creature said, "I smell weakness in them, get them." another one said, and they jumped onto the land, "Take cover! Daedra are no joke!" an old man stated, and everybody held their spears up. Giovi, Guts, and Dante ran to fight them while Volvox looked to see if there were any more, he saw about thirty more coming and he held his tail up and shot red lightning out of its tip to disintegrate them, some of them jumped onto the land and they looked up in horror when Anguirus slammed his feet down on them, some of them ran around them and got attacked by Ash, he shot them with his boomstick and cut them apart with his chainsaw. The Daedra got slaughtered and Volvox shot hellfire blasts out of his mouths while Godzilla used his atomic breath and they destroyed their stronghold, "So that's the Daedra?" Princess Celestia asked while she flew above the land, "Yes, but those are specifically called Dremora, there is more than one type of Daedra." Tom replied, "Hmm, I see, perhaps we can seal them away if more appear." Princess Celestia stated, "If more do appear." Dommiel commented, and Princess Celestia flew away. Two days passed with nothing eventful happening and everybody struggled to grow more food, another island appeared to the southeast and connected itself to the land, everybody held their weapons up and watched closely, humans walked to them and everybody looked on with surprise but Amaterasu sniffed them and got into a fighting stance, "What is it, Ammy?" Issun asked, the other dogs began barking at the newcomers, "Is it that thing I encountered in Antarctica?" MacReady questioned, "Negative, MacReady, my readings are saying their human skin is synthetic." Bishop responded, the older humans' eyes' widen, "Get your weapons! They're Terminators!" a man hollered, and the newcomers took out their weapons. The newcomers fired plasma guns while John and his group got theirs, they fired at one another while Isaac fired his plasma cutter at them, small bits of their synthetic flesh flew off but it was ineffective against their endoskeletons. Harvey, Nick, and Lance tried to control them with their psychic powers but they resisted it, Orchid shot lightning out of her middle fingers while Amaterasu painted a zigzag with her tail and a lightning bolt fell on them and they all shut down. Harvey, Nick, and Lance brought them forward with their telekinesis and began reprogramming them with their psychic powers, "I don't get it, my plasma cutter is strong enough to blow things apart, it seemed to have little effect on them." Isaac commented, "It's alright, Isaac, watch." Volvox stated, and he shot hellfire breaths at the newcomers, their synthetic flesh and clothes burned off but their endoskeletons were still intact, "See, these Terminators are highly resilient, not even my hellfire blasts can obliterate them." Volvox said, "It'd be really helpful if they were on our sides, in the future, we have video footage of the apocalypse, we discovered that thing MacReady fought cannot replicate machinery, they were deployed all over the world to counter its replicating abilities." John explained, "Where is it in your time?" MacReady questioned, "Frozen and in stasis, Skynet is trying to domesticate it and use it against us humans." John answered, "Volvox, can you transfer lands from our world here?" MacReady asked, "Sorry, but no." Volvox responded, "That sucks, I was hoping you could and find that thing, if we can destroy it now, maybe it won't be in the future." MacReady stated, "We'll keep an eye out on it." Dommiel spoke, MacReady smiled and nodded. Harvey, Nick, and Lance continued trying to reprogram the hostile Terminators but purple lasers got shot at them and distracted them, everybody looked and saw a tank coming. John and his group quickly got their bombs and ran to it while Dwayne, Dutch, MacReady, and Snake ran to go fight it, "What is that?" Newt asked, "A tank from the future, us adults were debriefed during the apocalypse that the future has robotic vehicles called Hunter-Killers." a middle aged man answered, the hostile Terminators rebooted themselves and began attacking everybody. Volvox, Godzilla, and Anguirus stomped on them and destroyed them, the Hunter-Killer Tank opened fire and Volvox, Godzilla, and Mothra got ready to shoot blasts at it but they got shot by more purple beams, they looked and saw Hunter-Killer Aerials flying to them. Volvox and Godzilla swatted them and destroyed them while Mothra shot beams at them and Rodan flapped his wings and destroyed them with powerful gusts of wind. The Hunter-Killer Tank fired at the humans battling it and they got ready to plant explosives, but its sides opened and Terminators with no synthetic skin came out. They fired their weapons and everybody took cover while MacReady and Snake threw explosives at them, they broke apart but continued fighting. John and his group shot plasma weapons at them but it did little, Snake then sneaked around them quietly and got behind the Hunter-Killer Tank, he planted a grenade on its and ran away, it exploded and the Hunter-Killer Tank got destroyed. Giovi moved up the building on the new land with his telekinesis and saw more Hunter Killer-Tanks and Hunter Killer-Aerials coming, Godzilla and Mothra shot beams at them and destroyed them while one Hunter-Killer Tank drove to Hulk, he grabbed its head and ripped it off, he then picked up the body and spun around and threw it into the water. More hostile Terminators walked to them and the Count of Saint Germain fired his pistol and blew their heads off and they fell, everybody watched but saw that was all of the enemies. Bishop finished examining the new place and reported no survivors, Volvox then connected the new land and brought all of the machines to them while the Mane Six appeared on the land, "Wow, I'm a student of science myself, but I never seen technology this advanced." Twilight Sparkle commented, "They're from my time, so several decades into the future." John reminded, "Do you all have any robots that throw parties?" Pinkie Pie asked, "No, they were built with warfare being top priority." Harvey answered, "If your guys' future has stuff like this, I'm scared to see what it's like." Fluttershy said while quivering, "It's not just the future that's scary." Ash remarked, "You traveled through time, too, Ash?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Sure did, while John and the Terminators came here from the future, I was sent to the past, 1300 A.D. to be exact." Ash responded, "Oh, yeah, there was a statue of you in my hometown." a man said, "Did it have a plaque or anything?" Ash questioned, "Yup, Hero from the Sky, it also said you're the man who saved my country from the Deadites." the man responded, "I sure was glad to be back in this time after I got out of there." Ash remarked, "Say, how did you all travel through time?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Me and my group were transferred by time displacement equipment, we can go either forward or backwards, it's mostly reliable, but there are mishaps sometimes." John explained, "I was sent through time when a portal was opened by a book called the Book of the Dead." Ash replied, "So you all can travel time through magic, too, it's been a while since I traveled through time." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "We can travel through time with technology in our world, too." Dommiel replied, "Why don't you all travel to the past and try to prevent the apocalypse that destroyed your world?" Rarity suggested, "About that, some people from my time tried that, it only delayed it, there's also been times when the apocalypse happened because of factors beyond our control." John explained, "Like what?" Applejack asked, "The Xenomorphs attacking us, we tried to wipe them out, but that company Ripley worked for brought them back from extinction many years after my time, same with the Necromorphs, they come back eventually, too, so do the Daedra, the dragons come back after humans are extinct, too, and there are ghosts that still haunt places and more Apostles in the future as well." John explained, "So, what was the apocalypse like for y'all?" Applejack inquired, "There was fire everywhere, earthquakes opened the ground and demons came out all over the world, sounds of fighting everywhere, but the main thing was our world was consumed by flames." Tom explained, "So basically the opposite of us, if we don't have friendship in our country, Wendigos come and freeze our land." Twilight Sparkle stated, "I didn't see any blizzards when I traveled the world, when the apocalypse began, there was big fire all over the world." Snake responded, "How did the radiation thing happen?" Applejack inquired, "Nuclear weapons." John responded, "The nuclear weapons destroyed many parts of the world, too, there were so many monsters and they were so powerful, they were used as a last resort." Dante added, "It wasn't just us, Skynet used them in the future as well." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Wow." Fluttershy said, "Well, we'll let you all get on with your days, and remember, if you all need food, we're ready to provide." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Okay, and thanks." Tom replied, and the Mane Six disappeared while the people got on with their days. The world's natives watched the people and they noticed the older members having nightmares every night they slept, Princess Luna decided to take a look into them and reeled back in horror at seeing Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Harvey, Orchid, Nick, Lance, and the other natives fighting to survive against various monsters, Ripley, Newt, Dwayne, and Bishop fighting Xenomorphs, Dutch fighting a Yautja in a forest, John and his group fighting Terminators and other machines in a destroyed world, MacReady fighting the Thing in a snowy environment, Kirsty in a realm of horrors and dealing with the Cenobites, Princess Luna reeled back in horror at seeing the four Cenobites. She then saw Ash fighting monsters in a wooden cabin and then fighting even more in the past, Godzilla, Anguirus, Mothra, and Rodan fighting dragons, two dragons that caught her attention were a gold three-headed dragon and a big black dragon with red eyes, Guts in a place of horrors with Apostles all around him, Isaac fighting the Necromorphs on the USG Ishimura, Torque fighting Malefactors on Carnate Island and in Baltimore, Sebastian's experiences inside Ruvik's mind, Dante fighting demons around the world, Amaterasu and Issun fighting monsters and curing cursed places, Snake fighting other humans across the world, and Hulk fighting to survive while everybody chased him for various reasons, "No wonder why they're all so traumatized, they've all witnessed and experienced many horrors." Princess Luna said, she continued watching saw the various Daedra attacking their world as well, "Hmm, so those are the other Daedra, I wonder who these Daedric Princes are." Princess Luna commented, she then watched more dreams and saw the Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, and the Thing in action, "So that's what they do, we're going to need to come up with countermeasures if they come here." Princess Luna noted, she watched more but stopped for a moment when she saw the ground erupt in several dreams and a big creature with many spines and three mouth sections came out of the ground, "What is this?" Princess Luna asked, the creature shot its spines everywhere onto the ground and destroyed all of the land alongside flora and fauna, the sun also got blocked and its spines polluted the air, the land became too dry and barren to grow anything, and a snowstorm began, she then saw Volvox, Dommiel, Giovi, Godzilla, Mothra, Dutch, Harvey, Orchid, Guts, Amaterasu, and Hulk working together to destroy the creature, "What is this thing?" Princess Luna asked, she saw them enter inside the creature and fight another creature and then three more in its core and destroyed it after a long battle, "I'll need to ask them about this." Princess Luna remarked, and she began soothing their nightmares. The next day came and Princess Luna gathered the world's attention, "Natives of the new land, I have entered the dream realm last night and saw your dreams, I have saw the enemies you all have faced and the horrors you all have experienced, I offer you all my sincerest condolences, but the reason why I gathered everyone is because I have noticed your enemies attack all creatures that are not the same as them, I would like to discuss them so our countries can have countermeasures in case those creatures attack us as well." Princess Luna explained, "What do you want to know?" Isaac asked while panting a little heavily, "Mostly how they attack, how they invade, what are their weapons, and so on." Princess Luna answered, "That's going to be a big subject because there's a big variety of demons and Daedra." Volvox commented, "I realized that, that also brings up a question I have from seeing your dreams last night, who are the Daedric Princes?" Princess Luna asked, "They are the leaders and most powerful of all Daedra, there's technically seventeen princes, but two of them are the same people." Tom explained, "What are their names and what do they rule?" Princess Luna questioned, "Azura is the prince of dusk and dawn, Boethiah is the Prince of Plots, Clavicus Vile is the prince of bargains and regrets, Hermaeus Mora is the prince of knowledge and memory, Hircine is the prince of hunts, Jyggalag is the Prince of Order, Malacath is the prince of vengeance, Mehrunes Dagon is the prince of destruction, Mephala is the prince of lies and secrets, Meridia is the prince of energy, Molag Bal is the prince of domination and enslavement, Namira is the prince of dark instincts, Nocturnal is the prince of night and darkness, Peryite is the prince of sicknesses, Sanguine is the prince of hedonism, Sheogorath is the Prince of Madness, he and Jyggalag are the same person, and Vaermina is the prince of dreams, nightmares, and omens, all of them were involved in the apocalypse." Tom explained, "Oh, very different from what I thought they would be." Princess Luna said, "Anything else you'd like to know?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "No, it's fine, I'd like to know the general weaknesses of demons next." Princess Luna replied, "Well, a lot of demons are weak to light, some of the weaker ones are weak to holy artifacts, too." Dante stated, "What kind of holy artifacts?" Princess Luna questioned, "That cross some of us carry is the main one." Dante responded, a girl showed her a cross with Jesus crucified on it, "Hmm, I see, interesting, I'd like to know about the Apostles now, and again, general weakness since I noticed there's a big variety of them as well." Princess Luna spoke, "Apostles are all former humans, when they transform, there's a part of them that remains human, that is their weak spot." Guts explained, "I see, I have also noticed how powerful they are, I don't think Equestria will be able to stand up to an army of them." Princess Luna remarked, "Those are the regular Apostles, the ones who change people into Apostles don't have that weakness." Guts stated, "Yes, I noticed that in your dream, five creatures standing on a hand." Princess Luna spoke, "Yeah, the God Hand, one of them was a man I once called my best friend, they don't have the weaknesses of other Apostles, human weapons are mostly ineffective against them, too." Guts explained, "I think we may have something that works, I have also seen how people turn into Apostles, maybe our teachings of love and friendship can prevent it." Princess Luna said, "I doubt it." Guts responded, "Moving on, next would be the zombies, or more specifically, the Deadites." Princess Luna said, "Most weapons we have work on them, my boomstick and chainsaw is usually enough to put them down." Ash replied, "I see, but I have noticed they are a bit clever." Princess Luna stated, "Yeah, they can change between humans and Deadite at will, that's usually done to make you drop your guard and attack you." Ash explained, "Hmm, perhaps we can see through it with our magic. My next group of enemies to know about is the Cenobites, have you found any weaknesses on them, Kirsty?" Princess Luna asked, "You saw them in my dream?" Kirsty questioned, "Yes, I have saw their realm, too, I'm glad you made it out of that realm of horrors." Princess Luna spoke, "I don't know any conventional weaknesses, but the Cenobites can be reasoned and bargained with, the box that summons them can seal them away, too." Kirsty explained, "Hmm, so they're basically creatures summoned by magic, me and my sister might have something to combat them." Princess Luna commented, "I would appreciate that." Kirsty responded, "Next, the ghosts, what are their weaknesses?" Princess Luna questioned, "Well, ghosts can be a bit tricky, there are some spiritually enchanted items at our world that can pacify and exorcise them, but since they aren't here, we have to resort to destroying them, magic is what destroys ghosts." Volvox explained, "How do you pacify one?" Princess Luna asked, "Some ghosts had items they held onto dearly when they were alive, giving them that item can make them happy and stop attacking others, but there are times when they have to be appeased, the most common way to pacify them that way is to worship them as gods." Dommiel explained, "Worship them as gods? What arrogance." Princess Luna remarked, "It's the only way sometimes." Tom responded, "Well, moving on, I would also like to know if there are anymore supernatural threats you all encounter." Princess Luna said, "Skeletons." Volvox replied, "And what are their weaknesses?" Princess Luna questioned, "Put down temporarily, blunt force, permanently, take out the sorcerer." Tom responded, "They can also be put down permanently if you reduce their bones to ashes." Dommiel added, "Hmm, I see, anymore types of supernatural creatures you all fight?" Princess Luna questioned, "Of course, you got the vampires, werewolves, trolls, Giovi's species, which are the ghouls, elves, fairies, giants, ogres, orcs, cyclopes, dwarfs, goblins, and dragons." Tom explained, "How do you deal with them?" Princess Luna asked, "If you're big like me and Godzilla, you can just smash them, but for the others, vampires are weak to silver, garlic, the sun, and a stake to the heart, werewolves are weak to silver, trolls are weak to lightning and easily fooled, ghouls are weak to light magic, elves are weak to iron, fairies are weak to iron and silver, cyclopes eyes are their weak spots, goblins can be easily overpowered with brute force, and as for giants, ogres, orcs, dwarfs, and dragons, they don't really have a weakness, you have to overpower them one way or another." Volvox explained, "Speaking of dragons, when I looked at your dreams, I noticed two that particularly stood out, one was a three headed golden dragon and the other was a big black dragon with red eyes." Princess Luna stated, "Ah, those two dragons were the most powerful dragons that we fought during the apocalypse, that gold three headed dragon is King Ghidorah, he's an alien from outer space that came to our planet in an attempt to destroy us, that big black dragon is Alduin, he was the leader of the dragons when they attacked our world, he's native to our planet, he tried to destroy all life and was hostile to even other dragons at times, when King Ghidorah arrived, they didn't get along, but they set aside their differences to destroy all life and planned to destroy each other after only the dragons remained on the Earth." Tom explained, "Where are they now?" Princess Luna asked, "King Ghidorah has escaped into space, the UAC is looking for him, and Alduin's physical body has been destroyed, but his soul is still elsewhere, there's a big risk he might come back one day." Harvey stated, "What do you mean his soul is elsewhere?" Princess Luna questioned, "Alduin is the physical embodiment of the end of the world, the apocalypse being triggered caused him to manifest." Volvox explained, Princess Luna had a shocked expression, "What's the next group of enemies you want to know about?" Dutch asked, "Those aliens from space, I'd like to start with the Harvesters since we already saw them." Princess Luna answered, "The Harvesters themselves are very weak, how you all saw them is a bio-suit, the actual alien is small, their energy shields don't work against close-range attacks, either." Volvox explained, "I see, next are the Xenomorphs, have do you all combat them?" Princess Luna asked, "Our weapons work on them, but from my experiences, fire and extreme heat works best, confronting them up close is too risky." Ripley answered, "I have seen their acid blood and capabilities, I must admit I am shocked, I have never seen such a defense mechanism." Princess Luna stated, "Another weakness we discovered is they can't breathe in space." Dwayne added, "Well, we're not in space right now, so that won't work. Next is the Thing, how about it, MacReady, have you discovered any other weaknesses to it besides fire and explosives?" Princess Luna questioned, "Not really, thing is basically invincible, but there are ways to expose it." MacReady answered, "I noticed, if it arrives here, let me and my sister examine it, maybe we can seal it away permanently." Princess Luna stated, "You should destroy it." MacReady remarked, "We will if possible. Next aliens to discuss are the Necromorphs." Princess Luna said, "Their weakness is cut them apart, it's the only weakness they have, either that, or put the Marker back in its original place, there is no other weakness." Isaac replied, "Isaac, I saw your experiences on the USG Ishimura last night, you poor man, but I want you to know that we are a land of love and friendship, and we wish to help you if possible, and I'm very sorry about Nicole, I will attend to your nightmares if they really bother you." Princess Luna stated, "Thank you." Isaac said, "Okay, next up is the Yautja, do you know any of their weaknesses, Dutch?" Princess Luna questioned, "It can't see you if you cover yourself in mud." Dutch responded, "Mud? Do you have a cleaner alternative?" Princess Luna asked, "Anything that can cool down your body temperature will work, and if possible, avoid fighting them head-on, you won't win." Dutch said, "Yes, I noticed that." Princess Luna remarked, "We owe a lot to Dutch, he's the one who gave us our motto for fighting during the apocalypse." a middle aged man said, "Which is?" Princess Luna asked, "If it bleeds, we can kill it." Dutch stated, Princess Luna had an unamused expression, "Moving on, next one is the Maykrs you all mentioned when you all came here." Princess Luna said, "They're extinct." Tom replied, "What happened?" Princess Luna inquired, "The Doom Slayer wiped them out." Volvox revealed, "Oh, wow, next up to discuss are the Terminators." Princess Luna stated, "That's a bit complicated, it depends on which model you're talking about." John stated, "Wait? Did you just say which model?" Princess Luna questioned, "Yes, there's more than one type of Terminator." John revealed, "Let's just cover the ones you all are encountering now." Princess Luna stated, "These would be the T-800 models, they're most vulnerable to very high pressure, they can be crushed beyond repair, they can also be shut down for a short time with electrocution, partially vulnerable to acid, strong plasma weaponry can damage them, too, and high extreme temperature can melt them, high blunt trauma works, too." John explained, "Oh, so they have several weaknesses, but I can clearly see you all still have trouble against them." Princess Luna remarked, "Hulk has no fear of Terminators, Hulk smashes and breaks Terminators with no effort." Hulk spoke, "You mean to say he can actually damage them with their bare hands?" Princess Luna questioned, "Yeah, he's the only human here who can take them head-on." John answered, "Hmm, I wonder why." Princess Luna remarked, "Because Hulk is strongest there is." Hulk replied, "Okay, next is the Malefactors, I just want to know their general weakness since I noticed there's a variety of them as well." Princess Luna said, "Well, human weapons work on them, they have the same weakness as Necromorphs in having their body parts removed, but it's much more effective on them than on the Necromorphs. The ones with the black smoke are invincible to pretty much everything, only Torque's creature form works on them." Dommiel explained, "Why is that?" Princess Luna asked, "We have no clue." Tom responded, "Hmm, I am curious on why, myself." Princess Luna stated, "There being a variety of Malefactors also works against them, each type of Malefactor can't stand the other types and they actively seek out to destroy one another." Volvox said, "So a self-destructive group of creatures, I don't assume they were the only ones." Princess Luna spoke, "Nope, the demons and some of the Daedra destroyed one another, too, so did the dragons, many fought Alduin for his position as strongest and leader of the dragons." Dante replied, "I see, last group, Sebastian, I need to know how to confront the monstrosities you encountered in Ruvik's mind." Princess Luna stated, "Most human weapons we have here work on them, but the biggest weakness they have is fire, when they're down, they revive after a few minutes, fire puts them down permanently." Sebastian explained, "Is that the only thing that keeps them down?" Princess Luna questioned, "Destroying the head works too, but I find using fire to be easier." Sebastian replied, "I see. One more thing before I go, I saw a monster with many spines on its body burst out of the ground and launched them all over the land and basically made the place inhabitable." Princess Luna said, "That's Lavos, and as I said, that crater there in the land where I'm from is where he emerged from." Harvey explained as he pointed to it, "Where did it come from?" Princess Luna asked, "We're not sure, none of us knew it was there, several years into the apocalypse, it suddenly burst out of the ground and launched its spines everywhere, we teamed up and managed to destroy it, but Mothra and Orchid have said they think it's not truly gone." Volvox explained, "When we first destroyed it, I got a sense that it was sent elsewhere, I don't know where, but a monster like that is too powerful to ignore, it feeds on a land's natives, it also has the power to control and influence the evolution of a place's fauna." Orchid explained while Princess Luna's eyes widened, "I agree that's something that should not be looked over, if something with that power comes here, it could spell potential doom for our world." Princess Luna remarked, "We still do not know where it went after it was defeated." Orchid replied, "Hmm, maybe my sister and I can find it. Okay, that's everything I needed to know, thank you all for your reports, I will now discuss with my country on creating countermeasures against them." Princess Luna spoke, and she flew away, "You think their countermeasures are going to work, Tom?" Newt questioned, "I don't know, but we will have to wait and see, if they can get them set up fast enough." Tom responded, "There's no point in wondering right now, let's just go on as normal and watch for any dangers coming." Volvox said, everybody agreed and got on with their days. The rulers, Mane Six, Pillars of Equestria, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Sunburst, and Student Six gathered together in Canterlot's throne room and Princess Luna displayed the dreams she saw with her magic, "As you all can see, their world is full of monsters and dangers, the fact some of them are still alive is a miracle." Princess Luna stated, "And your reason for calling us here was...?" Queen Novo asked, "Those monsters attack everything that is not the same creature as them, while they are mostly focusing on the newcomers, there is very high risk that they will attack us as well, and we must make countermeasures." Princess Luna explained, "I think it would be best if we focus on the big groups first." Pharynx suggested, the others nodded, "Alright then, first, the Daedra, they are a very variable type of creature, we must make many precautions against them." Princess Luna stated, "From what we've seen, regular weapons and magic seem to work on them." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yes, but I saw in their dreams that the Daedric Princes are on a whole other level, I don't think even Discord or the Tree of Harmony will be able to stand up against them." Princess Luna replied, "Can you show us their powers and abilities?" Princess Skystar asked, and Princess Luna did. Everybody watched with shock at seeing what the Daedric Princes were capable of, "I've never seen creatures of such power." Shining Armor exclaimed, "It seems some of them are benevolent and can be reasoned with, though, maybe we can form a truce with some of them." Sunburst suggested, "I agree, but we must make countermeasures against Molag Bal, Mehrunes Dagon, Boethiah, Mephala, Namira, and Vaermina, and Hircine as well if he goes after our pets or Fluttershy's animals." Princess Celestia replied, "I'm seeing more types more often than others." Princess Cadence commented, "Indeed, I learned from their dreams that the ones they fought are called Dremora, the other more common type I'm seeing are called Atronachs, they seem to be three elements, fire, ice, or lightning, I think our spells can counter them rather easily." Princess Luna said, "One thing, Princess Luna, look, it looks like that type of Daedra there is absorbing magic." Sandbar stated as he pointed to one, "Ha, maybe Yona and yaks can put it down." Yona replied, "Yak will kick Daedra out of Yakyakistan." Prince Rutherford boasted, "Wait, hey, they're not serving the Princes loyally." Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she saw some of the lesser Daedra change their loyalties from one Daedric Prince to another, "So they have no loyalty for their masters? They should be punished." Princess Ember declared, "I looked into that, it seems they swore allegiance to whatever Prince is the strongest at the time in exchange of said Prince protecting them." Princess Luna explained, "No loyalty, I see, they're drawn to power, I can kind of understand." Grampa Gruff stated, "Well, anyway, it looks like they have realms of our own, I believe we can seal the gateways with our magic." Star Swirl the Bearded stated, "I agree, Star Swirl, if we can prevent them from entering our world, that'll be great." Princess Celestia replied, "Next group are the demons, they're a big group, too, but they all seem to have common weaknesses." Princess Luna said, "Light magic, the sun, and those religious symbols from their world, nothing we can't handle." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "Yeah, I think Equestria's magic with friendship will probably keep them at bay." Sunset Shimmer added, "I hope our love in the Hive works, too." Ocellus spoke, "Alright, they're mostly settled, next is the Apostles, I know that one becomes an Apostle by summoning the God Hand with a Beherit, but said person must be at their lowest and in despair at that time, so I believe talking one out of summoning them and offering them love and friendship is vital for their prevention." Princess Luna explained, "I agree, this is one reason why we should preach love and friendship across the world." Princess Celestia added, "Ooh, I can cheer them up with my parties and singing!" Pinkie Pie suggested while jumping up and down, "Um, can we try to talk them out before they summon the God Hand, them, their realm, and all of their Apostles are very scary looking." Fluttershy quivered, "I agree, Flurry Heart will have nightmares if she sees the God Hand." Princess Cadence responded, "That brings me to the next group, Malefactors, since they seem to born from tragedy, love and friendship might be able to prevent them from forming, and like many of you have witnessed, they seem attracted to Torque in particular, I certainly don't want to ostracize him from our country because of that." Princess Luna remarked, "Still, I wonder why they're going to him for." Mage Meadowbrook commented, "Who knows, lass, the reason is probably something beyond our understanding." Rockhoof responded, "I still can't imagine how annoyed Torque is by that." Smolder said, "I think Guts is more annoyed with the Apostles after him since they seem to be much stronger." Gallus reminded, "So, what do you think will work against those Malefactors?" Silverstream questioned, "Well, I believe our magic can make them disappear, but I'll have to look into the ones with black smoke on them since so far, only Torque's creature form works against them." Princess Luna remarked, "Ugh, I hate that creature form of his, it looks so hideous and makes his already unfashionable clothes even more unfashionable by making the upper part disappear." Rarity stated, "Rarity, focus." Applejack said, "I will now discuss the Cenobites, as you all see, they are terrifying looking, and their logic is a logic we will don't understand, as you all see, we must take precautions if they ever come to our world." Princess Luna stated, "I believe that cube thingy in Kirsty's dream there should be destroyed." Mistmane suggested, "Agreed, I don't understand why Volvox put one under the ground." Somnambula added, "He might have a reason, he just hasn't said yet." Flash Magnus said, "What else have you noticed, Princess Luna?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Well, it seems they are driven to people who have a desire for anything, they will grant your desires, but at a price and in their own twisted ways." Princess Luna replied, "I remember hearing they don't keep their ends of bargains either." King Thorax remarked, "They don't, I saw in Kirsty's dream that they didn't." Princess Luna responded, "If the boxes prove to be unable to be destroyed, I will seal them away with my strongest magic." Princess Celestia suggested, the others smiled, "Okay, last supernatural group, the undead, that consists of the ghosts, the Deadites, and the skeletons, I'm putting ghosts in this section since they're deceased like the other two as well." Princess Luna stated, "I... I don't wanna deal with ghosts." Silverstream said while quivering, "M... me neither, Yona scared of ghosts." Yona added while quivering, "Everyone, remember, they said some of the ghosts can be pacified by bringing them peace." Twilight Sparkle reminded, "Yes, but they have said most ways to pacify ghosts by worshiping them as gods, oh, I can't believe how arrogant they are." Rarity remarked, "Yeah, no way us griffons are going to worship them as gods." Grampa Gruff added, "Neither would us kirins, my rule is the highest in our land, they will not worship a commoner who demands to be seen as a god." Rain Shine stated, "I agree that that is not a good way to pacify them, I can understand being sad and lonely and they need love and friendship to be at peace and stop hurting others, but demanding to be worshiped as gods is where I draw the line, our citizens would not accept that, us rulers here are the highest ranking people of our societies, a foreigner coming to our countries and demanding to worshiped as a god is beyond angering." Princess Celestia said, the others nodded in agreement, "What do you suggest then?" Spike questioned, "I will send them to Tartarus if they make such a demand." Princess Celestia replied, "Hold on a sec, Princess Celestia, isn't that a bit harsh?" Applejack asked, "Well, we don't really have any way of imprisoning and incapacitating ghosts, there's also what our citizens say, they would believe that someone demanding a higher status than us alicorns is deserving of the harshest punishment we give out." Princess Celestia answered, "Plus, I don't think our countries have any way of dealing with ghosts, either." Princess Skystar added, "We'll try to come up with something in the future, the next group are the Deadites, I know they're zombies and all, but they seem to be possessed by demonic energy." Princess Luna stated, "Possessed, right? I'm sure we have a spell that can get it out." Sunset Shimmer suggested, "We do, and if possible, we should try to get them out of their host without harming them." Princess Celestia answered, "But look, it looks ilke they can transfer to another host and possess them." Princess Ember reminded as she drew everyone's attention to the magic projection, "Do you unicorns have any counters against that?" Sandbar questioned, "I think my shields will be able to hold them back." Princess Cadence replied, "If any of you other rulers encounter Deadites in your country, bring them here. Now, onto the other supernatural threats from their world, the vampires, werewolves, trolls, ghouls, goblins, elves, fairies, orcs, dwarfs, ogres, cyclopes, giants, and dragons, and as you all can see, their dragons are different from our world's dragons." Princess Luna stated, "Them vampires kind of remind me of them bat ponies on mah farm." Applejack said, "I see the resemblance, too, but as for a countermeasure against the vampires, maybe bring up the sun since they seem to hate it, it looks like it works on the werewolves, too." Twilight Sparkle added, "Look, guys, it looks like the sun works on the trolls, too." Rainbow Dash said as she pointed to a projection of a troll being in the sun and turning to stone, "Interesting, I've never seen a creature turn to stone in the sun." Princess Celestia stated, "What do we do against the ghouls?" Princess Skystar questioned, "Ugh, what a disgusting creature." Rarity said as she watched it eating meat, "They seem to hate the light and thrive in the dark." Queen Novo commented, "Oh, that's easy, just light up dark areas and they'll scram." King Thorax suggested and the others smiled, "Those goblins look easy, too, us dragons can overpower them easily if they try to fight us." Princess Ember said, "Yeah, one on its own looks very weak, a simple buck should do the trick." Applejack replied, "As you all can see, the elves are very arrogant and constantly underestimate their foes, I believe a simple restraining spell will do the trick." Princess Luna spoke, "I know they said a fairy's weakness is iron and steel, but I'd rather not harm them, maybe we can put a power nullifier on them." Flash Magnus suggested, "I agree, and as for the orcs, dwarfs, ogres, cyclopes, and giants, there seems to be nothing except overpower them with brute force, but as you all can see, they are very strong, not even Rockhoof, earth ponies, or us alicorns can match their strength." Princess Celestia said, "Maybe Yona and yak can overpower them." Yona stated, "Some of us dragons, too, my father will take them down easily." Princess Ember added, "Alright, now the dragons, as you all can see, they are big and strong, this Alduin seems to have magic as well, but my main concern is this King Ghidorah here, as you all know, we have never seen a dragon with so much destructive power." Princess Luna stated, "Not only that, but we've never seen a three headed one before, either." Princess Ember added, "Look, I think I see a weakness on him there." Twilight Sparkle stated as she pointed to a projection of Volvox and Godzilla fighting King Ghidorah, they all saw Godzilla shoot his atomic breath at the front part of King Ghidorah's center head's neck while Volvox's left and right heads shot hellfire blasts at the other two necks and all three of King Ghidorah's heads came off, "Wait, how did he survive that?" Rainbow Dash questioned, "I do not know, their memories don't show how he came back from that." Princess Luna answered, "He's still just like us dragons here, the parts of his bodies with no scales are his weak spots." Smolder stated, "I don't think that applies to Alduin though." Spike replied as everyone saw him getting attacked at his body parts with no scales and doing almost no harm to him, "I'll have to look into him again, but it looks like ice magic works best on him. Next is Ruvik's mind, I would put this under a scientific threat, but they seem supernatural in nature, and as Sebastian said, fire seems to work best, I'm usually against using such methods, but I don't think we have a choice in this case, look at how hostile they are." Princess Luna explained as everybody saw Sebastian's experiences inside of Ruvik's mind, "Wow, Sebastian sure had it rough." Applejack commented, "No kidding, I'm impressed he still has his sanity, that place would've drove me crazy." Twilight Sparkle stated, "About that, I've noticed all of those people are troubled with their memories, but Sebastian, Guts, Ripley, Snake, Isaac, and Torque are the most troubled of them all." Princess Luna remarked, "I can see why, I can't believe they still have the will to keep going." King Thorax said, "Well, now that the supernatural threats are out of the way, onto the scientific ones, I'll start with the Harvesters since we've seen what they're capable of, and yes, they're weak physically, but getting to them is the hard part, we all saw how advanced and powerful their technology and weaponry is." Princess Luna stated, "I know, right, there's no way we're gonna get past their shields, not even the Wonderbolts have anything to counter that." Rainbow Dash exclaimed, "Yeah, and same with the unicorns' magic, it ain't gonna get through, either." Applejack added, "Well, I looked at one memory and it appears something was put on their vehicles to disable their shields." Princess Luna stated, and she showed the dream to the others, "Oh, I see, it's like a computer virus, maybe I can ask them for it." Sunset Shimmer said, "What's a computer?" Rarity asked, "I'll explain later." Sunset Shimmer remarked, "Next is one we haven't seen yet, the Xenomorphs, and looking at Ripley's, Newt's, and Dwayne's memories, these creatures are very hostile, there seems to be more than one, too." Princess Luna stated, they all watched with horror at what the Xenomorphs did, "Wait, look, it looks like that big one there is their leader, maybe their social structure is similar to our own." Ocellus stated, "I think so, too, Ocellus, but one problem dealing with them is they tend to attack in groups, we have to find a way to neutralize their acid blood, too." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I'm as shocked as you all are, I have never seen anything like that in my long life, I'm as scared at encountering that as the rest of you are as well." Princess Celestia stated, "Hmm, I was wondering if we should let the dragons deal with them, maybe their scales can endure the acid." King Thorax suggested, "I don't think so, our scales are designed to withstand fire, not acid." Princess Ember answered, "If you ask me, we probably have to wipe them all out, I know it's not our ways, but we might have to make an exception with them." Starlight Glimmer spoke, "It pains me to do that as well, but I think that's the only solution to dealing with them. Next up is the Yautja, I know there hasn't been any here, yet, and they and the Xenomorphs seem to be at war with one another, but as you see here in Dutch's and others' dreams, they're not friendly, either." Princess Luna stated, "Didn't he say something about cooling your body down?" King Thorax questioned, "He did, but he suggested using mud, oh, how filthy, I am not going to cover myself in such a disgusting substance." Rarity responded, "I believe covering ourselves in snow or cold water will work." Rain Shine suggested, "Headmaster Twilight, what do you think about their visions?" Gallus asked, "Well, if I had to deduce by the information we have, they probably see us by seeing our body heats, I don't know how that kind of vision would look, though." Twilight Sparkle responded, "But how are we supposed to take them down, look, they have some crazy weapons, and they're physically powerful." Rainbow Dash reminded, "Whoa, they're seem much stronger than even the yaks and alicorns combined." Sandbar exclaimed, "I know they're frightening to watch, but maybe we can come up with something if we work together." Princess Cadence suggested, "Look at some of those dreams, too, they're not attacking anyone who can't fight back or is too weak to fight, they seem to have rules that they follow." Shining Armor stated, "Well, whatever they are, they seem to be rules too alien for us to comprehend." Princess Ember replied, "It looks like they don't attack the weak, defenseless, sick, or injured, it looks like they give their opponents a fair chance, too." Shining Armor observed, "That gives me an idea." King Thorax said, "Oh, no, Thorax, we're not going to make the changelings super peaceful and pacifistic again." Pharynx remarked, "I was thinking of just using it as a front, us changelings are no match for the Yautja." Thorax corrected, "One last thing I want to point out is they seem to self destruct when they're defeated, and the explosion is huge." Princess Luna said, and she showed it, "Wow, I don't know if my shields can withstand that." Princess Cadence stated, "I believe the best choice in this case is get all of our unicorns and alicorns to work together to cast a powerful shield." Sunburst suggested, "Agreed, an explosion like that will obliterate mine." Flash Magnus replied, "Wait, one more thing, what about their invisibility?" Rain Shine questioned, "We have spells that can detect them, some of Fluttershy's pets can sniff them out, too." Twilight Sparkle answered, "Indeed, we can render their invisibility ability useless with our magic. I will now move onto the next creature, the one MacReady simply calls the Thing, to be honest with you, this one unnerves me, its mimicking abilities is terrifyingly accurate of the one it mimics." Princess Luna said, and she showed everyone MacReady's dream and they all watched in fear of the Thing's powers, "Oh, that's scary." Fluttershy quivered, "It is, it appears to on purposely induce paranoia among others, too, it seems to have some form of sentience and intelligence beyond that of a wild animal, too." Twilight Sparkle added, "Obviously, our countermeasures must counter its mimicking abilities, we have to come up with ways in finding it when it is hiding among us." Princess Luna explained, "I still think us changelings might be able to counter it." Ocellus stated, "After seeing it in action, I doubt it, I believe changing it back with our magic would be best." Twilight Sparkle countered, "Yeah, also, it looks like dogs can sniff it out." Applejack added, "We can cast fire with our magic, too." Sunset Shimmer stated, "As you all can also see, the creature also infects and mutates any living creature it touches, so physical contact must be avoided." Princess Luna said as they watched the Thing assimilate people and animals while Volvox, Godzilla, Anguirus, Mothra, and Rodan stood back to avoid being touched by it, "I'm guessing holding it back with our magic is essential then." Twilight Sparkle said, "Indeed, and as you see in MacReady's dream here, fire and explosives are effective against it, I believe freezing it might work as well." Princess Luna replied, "With all due respect, Princess Luna, Ah don't want this thing runnin' around Equestria." Applejack stated, "Me neither, and I believe we might have to destroy this as well, I'm wagering my sister's powers over the sun can work." Princess Luna remarked, "It goes without saying that this Thing is too dangerous to be left alone wandering our world, if it does come here, we must catch it and destroy it immediately." Princess Celestia added, "I believe the dragons and us kirins will have the best chance against it, even if it mimics us, I think a dragon's fire breath and nirik fire will harm it if it tries to use them." Rain Shine spoke, the others agreed, "Next enemy are the Necromorphs, take a good look at them, first priority is not get scared, I know they have horrifying appearances, but you can't freeze in place, as you can see, they're very hostile as well." Princess Luna stated, "Wow, there's a variety of them, they're all scary looking." Princess Skystar mentioned, "I see their weakness is basically take them apart, but I'm not comfortable doing that, I think burning and freezing them would be our best options." Twilight Sparkle suggested, "There's more, look at this big stone in Isaac's dream here, I learned from his memories that it is called a Marker, it seems to be what brings the Necromorphs, it also inflicts terrifying symptoms on those nearby or come in contact with it, as you all can see from the damages it causes here in Isaac's memories, if a Marker does end up transferred here, destroying it is essential." Princess Luna explained, "Hallucinations, paranoia, dementia, depression, wow, I'm seeing clearly that this Marker is bad news, and there is no place of origin for them here in Equestria, so I agree with Princess Luna that they have to be destroyed." Twilight Sparkle stated, the others nodded, "Who is that?" Applejack asked as she pointed to Issac's dream, they all saw Isaac get picked up by a spaceship with the letters UAC on it and Samuel Hayden got Isaac out of the space shuttle, "There, there, it's okay, Isaac, the people on Earth managed to find you and we'll be moving you closer to Earth so Volvox can bring you back with his telekinesis, did you see anymore remaining Necromorphs on the USG Ishimura before going to Aegis VII?" Samuel asked, Isaac nodded, "Alright then. Hook the USG Ishimura to our ship." Samuel commanded, and they did and brought it forward, "Alright, that's good, Doom Slayer, you know what to do." Samuel said, and they saw a tall and very muscular man wearing a mostly green armored suit with orange on his left arm, his muscular arms being exposed, and a small gun on his left shoulder, he picked up a sawed-off double-barreled shotgun and walked into the USG Ishimura, "So that's the Doom Slayer." Starlight Glimmer remarked, "Still, wow, I've never seen anyone that muscular in my world." Sunset Shimmer stated, "Moving on, last group, the Terminators, I know they're scary looking, too, but as you all can see, they have several weaknesses that we can exploit." Princess Luna commented, "Ooh, Yona think yak kicks can destroy Terminators." Yona stated, "Plus, they're machines, unicorns, alicorns, and kirins can disassemble them with magic." Twilight Sparkle stated, "There's also the thunderclouds short circuiting them." Rainbow Dash added, "Ooh, ooh, I know, maybe we can shut them down permanently by putting them in water." Silverstream suggested, "I don't think that's a good idea, Silverstream, they will likely electrify the water if electricity comes out." Twilight Sparkle explained, "They don't seem to able to handle extreme temperatures, either, so maybe the fires in the Dragon Lands and cold weather of Yakyakistan will immoblize them as well." Princess Ember stated, "So the Terminators have several weaknesses, high blunt trauma, extreme heat, extreme cold, electricity to an extent, and able to be reprogrammed, I think we can come up with several countermeasures against them." Twilight Sparkle stated and the others smiled, "Alright, that's all of them, but before I finish, I have one more thing to show you all." Princess Luna said, and she showed them projections of Hulk's dream and saw him being hunted and captured wherever he went either for being seen as a monster or people wanting to harvest his powers to mutate themselves and get stronger, "Yikes, Ah can now see why Hulk wants to be left alone." Applejack remarked, "Look at him, too, look at how he moves around, it's almost like he has the mentality of a child, it's almost like he doesn't understand why he's being targeted." Twilight Sparkle commented, "Oh, that is so sad, Hulk even said no one accepts him wherever he goes." Fluttershy lamented, they saw Hulk change back to Bruce in his dream, "So that's Bruce Banner." Twilight Sparkle said, and she watched in awe at him working as a scientist, "Wow, what a contrast, it's like they're two completely different people." Rarity commented, "They might as well be, Bruce is basically the smart adult and Hulk is the strong child, I hope Bruce is as cool and awesome as Hulk is." Rainbow Dash stated, "I think he and I would be able to teach one another a lot of things." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Well, with that, that is all, I have also seen the Maykrs and Lavos in other dreams as well, it looks like our regular defenses are effective against them, so basically, our countermeasures are our magic spells and kicks, and as for the Maykrs, it looks like their heads were their weak spots." Princess Luna remarked, "Still, wow, those guys have been through a lot, the fact they're still alive is a miracle." Sunset Shimmer remarked, "It really is, Equestria would've been destroyed if they fought all of those monsters at once like how they did." Princess Cadence added, "Are we done here?" Queen Novo asked, "Well, going over their enemies, yes, we must all now work together to come up with more countermeasures." Princess Luna replied, and they began discussing creating them. Volvox and the others got on with their days and they preserved whatever food grew while Amaterasu caught fish from the water and fed the animals, everyone ate little while the other countries got on with their days and also watched them with curiosity, "Um, Chief Tom." a boy said, Tom looked back and saw him with the other kids, "About what that blue horse from earlier said, it made us notice that you and the other older people here never told us about the apocalypse and our history." the boy stated, "We were planning to tell you all when you all were older." Tom revealed, "Seeing how things are, some of us probably won't live much longer." a girl reminded, "You all can still be around and learn as ghosts." Tom reminded, "But what if we're vengeful spirits that haunt and harm others and not care about our history?" a second boy questioned, "Hmm, good point, you all won't care about our history or the apocalypse if you all become angry and vengeful ghosts, let's go ahead and teach you all now." Tom said, the kids cheered. Everybody gathered around and Harvey went into the dome and came out with a big TV screen, "There are recordings of the apocalypse on here, we can show them how bad it was." Harvey commented, "Alright, kids, let us get everything set up, Volvox has got some wall carvings with him as well." Tom stated, and Volvox got them out from underground with his telekinesis and put it up, the kids looked in awe when they saw various monsters fighting in a four-way battle, "Before you all start asking, every single one of them is a demon, their infighting is one reason why we survived the apocalypse." an old man stated, "Okay, we'll begin, everything was going on as normal in everyday life and then one day, explosions suddenly appeared, earthquakes and sinkholes followed afterwards, we thought a big disaster was happening, but soon, monsters began to emerge from the holes, the demons began attacking everybody and the vampires, werewolves, trolls, ghouls, goblins, elves, fairies, orcs, dwarfs, ogres, cyclopes, and giants soon began attacking as well since they saw it as an opportunity to wipe out us humans from existence. Humans have dominated the world for centuries as the apex species, the others didn't like that and wanted us gone." Tom explained, "Where was Volvox and Dommiel at that time?" a girl asked, "I already emerged and helped in fighting, Dommiel soon joined me afterwards." Volvox stated, "Long before the start of the apocalypse, me and Sparda defected to the humans, we helped them fight off the demons and gave them advice on how to deal with each one, it was a shame many humans forgot our advice centuries later." Dommiel added, "Giovi defected to us before the apocalypse as well, we don't know what his reasons are since he chooses not to talk, but he helped us a lot in battle as well." Tom spoke, "And Phoenix and Thunderbird?" a boy questioned, "Well, their cases are different, they're the last of their kinds, I adopted them after their species were wiped out, the two followed me into battle willingly." Volvox answered, "Several weeks into the apocalypse, several cults made of humans and other species began doing worships in secret and opened the realms to the Daedra, they soon came and things got much more chaotic, and shortly after that, our fighting caught the attentions of the Yautja, they came to fight challenging opponents and that was when the aliens came, we also discovered that had ancient structures on our world that contained Xenomorph eggs, they hatched and infected the people exploring them, that's what brought the Xenomorphs to the apocalypse." Tom continued, "What about the Necromorphs?" another boy asked, "I'll get to them soon." Tom answered, "Early during the apocalypse, I noticed that several of the monsters were not demons, and some of the companies that did space travel had Xenomorph eggs and the Necromorphs that turn people into other Necromorphs with them, I saw the Cenobites every now and then, too, alongside the Deadites, me and Dommiel did some investigating and discovered the four items that triggered the apocalypse." Volvox explained and he used his telekinesis to get them out of the ground. The kids looked on in awe and shock at seeing a big double-helix stone with blue outlines on it, boxes with different patterns on each side, a book with a face on it, and red pendants with faces on them, "Here are the four items that triggered the apocalypse, this big double-helix stone here is called a Marker, this isn't an ordinary Marker, it is magically enchanted with demonic energy and stronger than a normal Marker. These boxes here are called Lament Configurations, they are what summon the Cenobites. This book is called the Book of the Dead, its proper name is Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, this summons a demon that has been sealed away called the Kandarian Demon, that's what creates the Deadites. These pendants here are called Beherits, they are what summon the God Hand and bring forth the Apostles, I am keeping these here for now because we have not been able to find any way to destroy them." Volvox explained, "Can't you just throw that book into a fire?" another boy asked, "I tried that, it didn't work." Ash replied, "The Book of the Dead is also what opened portals to the past and future, that's how Guts, John and his crew, and Harvey and his family ended up here." Dommiel stated, "The Count of Saint Germain came to us with his time traveling powers, it was through him and John that we discovered that we survive the apocalypse, but we are in another war in the future, a war between organic life and machines, and shortly after Harvey arrived, Lavos emerged out of the ground and shot its spines on his homeland, me and the other powerful beings here fought Lavos and it disappeared, the Count of Saint Germain then went through time and noticed Lavos has been hiding under the ground for millions of years, what caused it to burst out of the ground is unknown." Volvox explained, "I was going to warn you all of Lavos, but the time my crew and I came to here was after it came out." John stated, "Lavos covered the land and made it the way it is now, some of the Yautja tried to fight it but died, so did the Terminators, they got destroyed, the Xenomorphs and Deadites fell to it as well, we all worked together to take down Lavos, it's gone now, but Volvox and Orchid have always sensed that it's not gone completely and might come back one day." Tom said, "We went back to fighting the demons, Daedra, and aliens after dealing with Lavos, it was during that time the Harvesters came to invade us, they were here to harvest our resources and kill us all." Dommiel stated, "Shortly before all of them and the people from the future came, I discovered where the apocalypse was triggered, it was in two places, the prison island Torque is from, Carnate Island, is one, the other location was an abandoned foggy town called Silent Hill, the demons used the used the Marker and Necronomicon Ex-Mortis on Carnate Island while the Beherit and Lament Configuration were activated in Silent Hill." Volvox revealed, "Were they activated one after another?" a girl asked, "No, all four were activated together at the same time." Volvox answered, "Our recordings in the future showed us the demons and Cenobites meeting in Silent Hill, the demon who summoned them were asked what his desires were, he said he wanted to spread the monsters and demonic energy of Silent Hill and Carnate Island, the God Hand and Apostles, Deadites from the Book of the Dead, and Ruvik's mind to the entire world, his also desired a magically crafted Marker to draw the Necromorphs to Earth, the demons then opened a portal that allowed them to come to our world." John explained, "The flying Necromorphs are the ones who infect other organisms to turn them into Necromorphs, during all of that chaos, the alien called the Thing was running around Antarctica and causing destruction, MacReady was already fighting it by the time we found out." Volvox added, "Luckily, none of those other aliens came to where I was at when I dealt with it, but after we persumely destroyed it, Dommiel discovered the demons arrived at the base I was stationed at and began looking for remains of it." MacReady stated, "Hulk believe demons want Thing's powers to empower their demons just like how they and other humans tried to harvest Hulk's powers to empower themselves." Hulk said, "Please don't remind me, Hulk, dealing with those gamma radiation infused Archviles is one thing I wanna forget, same with those Xenomorphs mutated by Necromorphs, that's one thing I also wanna forget." Tom stated, "We'll get back now, when we dealt with Lavos, that was when the battles got really violent, the dragons began attacking us and the chaos caused Alduin to manifest and they tried to destroy everyone, their flames purged the world and it was enough for Mothra to get involved, she tried to persuade Godzilla, Anguirus, and Rodan here to help her fight, but they refused, it was only when they got attacked they joined in, it was a real help for us, too, Godzilla, Hulk, and Guts here were our heavy hitters during the apocalypse alongside the Doom Slayer, Volvox did all of the strategies and tactics while also leading us and fighting in the battles himself, he really saved us when he helped Godzilla fight King Ghidorah." Dommiel stated, "When did King Ghidorah arrive?" a girl asked, "Around the halfway part of the apocalypse, he and Alduin got into fights over who got to lead the dragons, also during that time, the Daedric Princes began to manifest, Mehrunes Dagon was the one who caused the most destruction, Godzilla and Mothra teamed up together to put him down." Volvox answered, "Where were the rest of you all?" a boy questioned, "Me, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Anguirus, and Rodan were busy dealing with the dragons, the humans fought the Daedra, Guts was busy with the Apostles, Dante, Dommiel, and the Doom Slayer were fighting the demons, Torque was fighting the Malefactors, Ash was fighting the Deadites, Kirsty was dealing with the Cenobites, Tom, Ripley, Newt, Bishop, Dwayne, Dutch, MacReady, Snake, Isaac, Harvey, Nick, Lance, and many more humans here were fighting the Harvesters, Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, and Yautja, the Thing was already neutralized by that point, Giovi, Amaterasu, and Orchid were fighting the various monsters, ghosts, and other creatures, John, his group, and the Count of Saint Germain were fighting Skynet's creations, Harvey, Nick, Lance, and Snake fought them as well, Sebastian was still inside of Ruvik's mind trying to survive, and Hulk fought whoever attacked him." Volvox responded, "Luckily, the horrors of Ruvik's mind didn't spread to the world, but when I left, Leslie went missing, my two partners that entered with me are nowhere to be found as well, but I still got a bad surprise, to find the world overrun with monsters and demons." Sebastian said, "Unfortunately for Sebastian, the demonic energy from Silent Hill and Carnate Island already spread to the world, he said it's almost like he never left Ruvik's mind." Tom stated, "We'll find them if they're still alive, Sebastian." Snake stated, "Thanks, if Ruvik's out there, I have to stop him." Sebastian replied, "What about Hulk? What was he doing?" a boy questioned, "Hulk was trying to live in peace as Bruce, but when apocalypse started, demons and Daedra attacked Hulk, Bruce had to turn into Hulk to fight back and survive, during that time, humans who were chasing Hulk before apocalypse in hopes of creating Hulk soldiers started coming after Hulk again, so Hulk had to fight and survive to avoid being experimented on. Hulk tried to live in peace away from apocalypse, but humans, demons, and aliens wouldn't leave Hulk alone, so Hulk was forced to join forces with Volvox to survive apocalypse, Hulk fought all over the world and became one of Volvox's best agents, Hulk fought Silent Hill monsters, demons, Daedra, Malefactors, Harvesters, Terminators, Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, Yautja, Deadites, Maykrs, ghosts, Apostles, Cenobites, dragons, vampires, werewolves, elves, fairies, trolls, ghouls, orcs, ogres, dwarfs, giants, goblins, cyclopes, and creatures mutated by radiation. Hulk teamed up with Guts most during apocalypse, Hulk and Guts made a great team, but after apocalypse, Hulk's problems did not end, creatures still won't leave Hulk alone, many creatures coming to Hulk to avenge fallen comrades while Yautja will not stop hunting Hulk until Hulk is trophy, Hulk just want to live in peace." Hulk explained, "Wow, Hulk sounds lonely." a second boy stated, "Hulk not lonely." Hulk replied, "You're not a freak here, Hulk, look around you, you got me, a big Cerberus-like creature, four big creatures here like myself, a demon, a ghoul, a time traveler, three people who are part human, part mutant, part machine, and part alien, mutated humans, a wolf with god-like powers, a magic user, a Synthetic, a half human half demon demon hunter, an Apostle hunter wearing magic armor, an escaped convict who transforms into a creature, and my two birds of fire and thunder, you can call us your family if you wish." Volvox reminded, "I'm guessing Hulk has no friends." a girl remarked, "Hulk has found some companionship in Guts, Torque, Snake, and Doom Slayer, Hulk also got along with Isaac, Bruce and Isaac good friends." Hulk responded, "I find it hard to imagine Hulk and Isaac being friends." a second girl stated, "Shortly after I was brought back here from the USG Ishimura, Hulk changed back to Bruce and examined me, he also developed special medicine for me to help me combat the Marker's symptoms affecting my mind, when I began to have nightmares, Bruce listened to my story and he tried to come up with a way to wipe out the Necromorphs permanently." Isaac explained, "Did you all come up with anything?" a teenage boy asked, "Well, not a permanent solution, but we did come up with one, and I wasn't the only one there to talk about aliens." Isaac answered, "Really?" a teenage girl asked, "I was there, too, so was Newt, Hicks here, MacReady, and Dutch, we all talked about our alien experiences with Dr. Banner, he gave us medicine so we can sleep peacefully, he contacted Harvey and Orchid in an attempt to come up with a solution to deal with the alien threats." Ripley explained, "Which is?" another boy asked, "If any signs of a Xenomorph or Necromorph infestation is spotted, report it to the UAC and they will send the Doom Slayer to deal with it." Orchid responded, "It was decided that would be the best solution after the Doom Slayer cleared out the USG Ishimura of the remaining Necromorphs after I was rescued, he fared against them much better than I did." Isaac said, "Say, Orchid, where are you and your family from?" another girl questioned, "I'm not from Earth, neither is my husband, we migrated from two different worlds and had Nick on Earth, Lance is also a native to Harvey's world." Orchid stated, "We were all already on Earth when the apocalypse started, well in the future, but still here on Earth." Harvey said, "You all ready to continue?" Tom asked, the kids nodded, "Alright. When Mehrunes Dagon manifested on Earth, he wasn't the only Daedric Prince who appeared, Molag Bal also appeared and led the vampires, so did Malacath, he led the orcs into battle, Hircine also appeared and the Yautja went into his realm to get more trophies, and the abundance of Deadites and skeletons caused Meridia to manifest and fight them herself, Namira also appeared to lead and defend the things we all find repulsive, it also led to infighting within the Daedra." Tom stated, "That picture Volvox put there makes it look like there was infighting with the demons, too." Newt commented, "There was, the demons were divided into four groups with four different leaders, the leaders were Lucifer, Mundus, Argosax, and Davoth, each faction has its own type of demons, Lucifer led the biggest group, Mundus and Argosax have some of the same type of demons serving them, and Davoth's demons are a whole different variety entirely, they were also the only demons to use technology, also, you kids didn't see it, but us older members have seen Davoth's appearance, he looks just like the Doom Slayer, we wondered if they have some kind of connection to one another." Volvox said, "It was Davoth's demons who kidnapped and experimented on Hulk, Davoth wanted gamma infused demons, Archviles were first demons to become demon-Hulk hybrids, Davoth's Barons of Hell and Hell Knights were given Hulk's powers next, after them, Hulk's powers were given to Davoth's Dread Knights and Fireborne Barons, Marauders got Hulk's powers next, and Pinkies were last. After experimentation was complete, Davoth unleased five hundred Archviles and one thousand Marauders with Hulk's powers onto the world, Doom Slayer fought and destroyed them all, Doom Slayer would have fallen if not for Guts' intervention." Hulk explained, "I had to activate my armor in that battle." Guts stated, "Same, I actually had to use my devil trigger in that fight." Dante added, "It wasn't just Hulk who Davoth conducted experiments on, Xenomorphs, too, he was hoping to use them to make new demons with their acid blood to counter the Doom Slayer's usual methods of dealing with demons, it worked to an extent." Volvox stated, "He also tried to use the Necromorphs to empower his demons, but he couldn't find a way to control them and scrapped that plan." Dommiel added, "A human sided with the demons too if I remember correctly." a man said after a few seconds of silence, "Yeah, my brother, Vergil, it wasn't willingly, though, when he was under Mundus' command, he was Nelo Angelo, I learned later that he was tortured and corrupted to become him." Dante explained, "Where is he now?" a woman asked, "I don't know, but he's probably dead." Dante answered, "When the war seemed to be going badly for the demons, Mundus and Argosax themselves appeared on the Earth to fight us, Volvox, Dante, and Mothra defeated Mundus together while Amaterasu and I dealt with Argosax, Guts cut down Lucifer's army and they were forced to retreat, and when Davoth realized he was going to be targeted, he unleashed the Icon of Sin on us, it and Mundus attacked us at the same time, me, Volvox, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Godzilla, Anguirus, Mothra, Rodan, Guts, Dante, Hulk, Amaterasu, and the Doom Slayer worked together to put them down, Davoth retreated afterwards, but when the commanders fled to safety, all portals to the underworld closed and stranded the remaining demons on Earth, they fought until they died." Dommiel continued, "Eventually, when all hope seemed to be lost, and Earth was being overrun by Daedra, demons, Apostles, Malefactors, monsters from Silent Hill and other places, vampires, werewolves, trolls, ghouls, goblins, giants, elves, fairies, orcs, dwarfs, ogres, cyclopes, dragons, Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, Harvesters, Yautja, Terminators, Deadites, and ghosts, we thought we were all going to be destroyed, so us humans came to the agreement to use nuclear weapons, we shot them all over the world to wipe out our enemies, while it did destroy the majority of them, some survived, and radiation spread to the world, it mutated our native life into what you all see now. We have fights every now and then, but other than that, there's much less fighting than before, and nothing eventful happened until we were transferred to this world." Tom concluded, "Wow, sounds like the apocalypse was scary." a boy stated, "It was, we may have won and survived, but it came at a very heavy cost." Tom remarked, "There wasn't just infighting with demons and Daedra, us humans had infighting, too." a middle aged man added, "If it's okay with you all, I'll go ahead and show you all the recordings of the apocalypse." Harvey stated, and everybody watched him. Harvey turned on the TV and everybody saw fire everywhere, gunshots and fighting sounds were heard and demons and Daedra soon filled the screen. People screamed in the recording while human soldiers and tanks tried to fight off the demons and Daedra with little avail, aircraft fell out of the sky and crashed on the roads and the kids screamed when they saw the creatures from Silent Hill attacking everybody, orange blasts appeared and they got reduced to ashes, they saw Volvox shooting hellfire blasts out of his mouth and eyes to destroy all of the demons, Daedra, and monsters from Silent Hill, a Harvester's UFO flew onto the screen and sent out its smaller ships. Volvox swatted them with his front legs while Anguirus appeared in the air and rammed his back onto the UFO and destroyed it. The screen changed again and everybody saw the Terminators attacking everybody and Hulk ran to them while screaming and destroyed them with his punches, Snake threw grenades at the Hunter-Killer Tanks and shot down the Hunter-Killer Aerials with a rocket launcher, John and his group planted explosives on the Hunter-Killer Tanks in the background. The screen changed and Cenobites were walking down the street and attacking everybody and the kids screamed at their appearances, everybody then saw Kirsty being the only remaining human standing around, "Kirsty! We meet again." a male Cenobite with nails in his head said, "No! You were supposed to be gone!" Kirsty exclaimed, "Afraid not, child, it appears our master and his fellow demons have been summoned here to Earth, our fellow demons here on Earth have summoned us with strong desires of their own." the Cenobite stated, "The box was destroyed, it was put in a fire." Kirsty stated, "There is more than one box in existence." the Cenobite replied, "What was the desire of your summoner?" Kirsty questioned, "Simple, he just wanted the world to burn, so he had us spread the energies of Carnate Island and Silent Hill to the world, he also took an interest in Isaac Clarke's report on the Necromorphs, so we opened a portal here to let the Necromorphs come to Earth upon his request alongside helping him and the other demons to make a magically crafted Marker. He also desired the God Hand and Apostles, creatures from the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, and the monsters inside the mind of a man who once studied us to spread upon the entire world." the Cenobite explained, "Who is this man with the monsters in his mind?" Kirsty inquired, "Ruben Victoriano, he now goes by the name Ruvik, he is a scientist looking for a way to come back to the world after his body was destroyed, but he has decided not to summon us to achieve his desire." the Cenobite explained, "There is no one with desire here, the only desire we have is to sur..." Kirsty said shortly before the Cenobites were shot from behind and became incapciated, they fell and Kirsty saw Dante aiming Ebony & Ivory, "You called?" Dante asked, "No, I was just trying to figure out what happened." Kirsty responded, "Well, long story short, someone wants Earth destroyed." Dante stated, "Yeah, I figured that much." Kirsty spoke, "Well, come on, there's other survivors where I'm staying." Dante said, and he led her. The screen changed to a road with Xenomorphs and Yautja fighting one another, the Necromorphs joined in and it became a three-way battle, everybody heard running and saw Hulk appear on the screen with the Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, and Yautja all chasing and attacking him. The screen changed to Apostles attacking a countryside and Guts and the Doom Slayer were working together to take them down, they destroyed the Apostles violently while most watched in shock and horror. The screen changed and everyone saw Ash and Dante fighting Deadites in the front while Torque and Sebastian were fighting Malefactors in the background, Ash shot everything with his boomstick and cut everything apart with his chainsaw while Dante used his sword to fight, everyone saw Sebastian make monsters heads' explode by punching them with a brass knuckle on his right hand while Torque used various melee weapons and guns, they wiped out every monster and went their separate ways. The screen changed and everyone saw many Archviles and Marauders marching, the Doom Slayer began firing his weapons but the Xenomorph's acid blood gets on him and began eating through his armor, the Marauders moved quickly and towards the Doom Slayer while keeping their shields up, the Doom Slayer tried to shoot one Archvile from far away with his super shotgun but a Marauder dashed in front of it and the bullets hit his shield, a wolf appeared and howled and ran around to fight the Doom Slayer. One Marauder got close to him and the Doom Slayer punched him, acid blood got on his armor and began melting it, the Doom Slayer ran back while the Archviles teleported to block his path and they began summoning more demons, Dread Knights, Fireborne Barons, Tyrants, and Pinkies appeared on the battlefield, they then buffed them and the summoned demons had red lights on them. The Doom Slayer moved back and put a module on his shotgun, he began firing bombs and the chitin on the Pinkies came off, acid blood spilled everywhere and he moved back again while seeing the demons summoned by the Archviles also had Xenomorph blood in them. The Doom Slayer switched to using a chaingun and put a modification on it, an energy shield appeared and he began firing, it protected him from the Xenomorph blood for a short time before going down, the Archviles then summoned several Carcasses and they began putting up shields to block the Doom Slayer's attacks, several wolves summoned by the Marauders surrounded the Doom Slayer and got ready to attack but a cannon is heard and several enemies got blown up from behind and pistols shot into the back of many of the demons' heads. Guts and Dante ran to help the Doom Slayer and they kept their distances while the Archviles summoned more Dread Knights and Fireborne Barons, they all roared and grew bigger while turning green. The Doom Slayer noticed the Archviles were also reviving the dead demons and he quickly fired at them and they teleported elsewhere and faster than before. Dante flew up into the air and activated his devil trigger, he had a monstrous appearance and he shot lightning out of his hands at the Archviles and destroyed them, Guts fired the cannon in his artificial left arm while also using the crossbow on his wrist but their wounds healed, the Archviles kept summoning new monsters and reviving the dead ones while also buffing the nearby demons and the three made it their top priority to take them out. Dante flew around shot lightning at the Archviles while they blocked it with their shields and Hulks powers made them regenerate while they teleported around, Guts shot his cannon at them but it did almost nothing, and the Doom Slayer moved around quickly and shot them whenever he spotted them. The battle went badly for them and Guts realized there were too many enemies, he growled and his helmet's armor went onto his head on its own, his Berserker Armor activated and he began fighting wildly, he slashed the demons with his sword while ignoring the acid blood on his armor and the demons regenerating due to Hulk's powers, he moved quickly and became a blur to everyone. The Doom Slayer shot bombs from his shotgun while the demons were distracted and made them explode while Dante's devil trigger changed form as he used different weapons, the Archviles were soon too injured to regenerate and got wiped out and they focused on fighting the rest, the demons were all destroyed after a long battle and Guts and Dante changed back to normal, "Whew that was a tough battle." Dante stated, "It was, these demons are becoming as powerful as the Apostles." Guts replied, "You alright?" Dante asked, the Doom Slayer nodded, "Good, we'll leave you to your job then." Dante said, and he and Guts left. The screen changed and Isaac was fighting Necromorphs in the streets with his plasma cutter, the Necromorphs ran to him and one got close to him and Isaac held it back with his hands. Another Necromorph ran to attack him but a chainsaw began cutting it from behind, they looked and saw the Doom Slayer coming, one Necromorph ran to him and he punched it with his left arm, the Necromorph's limbs flew off and its torso flew through the air. Isaac threw the Necromorph off of himself and continued firing while the Doom Slayer used his sawed-off double-barreled shotgun and his bare hands, the two fought them and the Doom Slayer took down many more Necromorphs than Isaac, more began to come to them from behind and Hulk ran onto the screen and punched them while grunting angrily, they flew through the sky with their limbs coming off and they got rid of all of the Necromorphs. The screen changed and there were hundreds of Xenomorph eggs on the screen, Tom, Ripley, Dwayne, Bishop, Dutch, MacReady, John, Isaac, Torque, Snake, and many more humans burned them with flamethrowers while Volvox shot hellfire out of his eyes, Orchid shot fire out of her ring fingers, and the Doom Slayer shot fire out of the gun on his left shoulder, they burned the eggs until they were all gone. The screen changed and the place was dark and destroyed, everybody was fighting the demons while Mundus invaded Earth personally and Davoth was riding on the Icon of Sin, Volvox, Dommiel, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Godzilla, Anguirus, Mothra, Rodan, Guts, Dante, Hulk, Amaterasu, and the Doom Slayer dealt with Mundus and the Icon of Sin while Tom, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, Harvey, Orchid, Nick, Lance, Ripley, Dwayne, Bishop, Dutch, MacReady, John, Isaac, Torque, Sebastian, and many more humans dealt with the smaller demons. Mundus made orbs appear in midair and they fired white beams around while Dante flew around them and shot red blasts at his chest, he also made fire fall from the sky and Rodan extinguished them by flapping his wings, the Icon of Sin shot boxes out of his forehead and various demons appeared, it then shot fire out and made meteors fall from the sky. Everybody fighting Mundus and the Icon of Sin struggled due to almost all of their attacks being completely ineffective on them, Volvox lifted up the tentacles on his spine and threw the yellow seven-pointed stars around, they ricocheted off of whatever they touched and cut whoever touched them. The Icon of Sin shot fire out of its hands while Mundus shot a big white beam at everyone, Dommiel shot shadow blasts at them but they did nothing, John and Dutch fired rocket launchers at them and they did nothing, Mundus laughed as he flew forward while rolling in midair, everybody ran back when Mundus rammed and broke a nearby building and destroyed it, the people fell while others grabbed them and tried to pull them up. The Icon of Sin noticed the people distracted and slammed its fist down and destroyed more of the building to make the people fall. Hulk ran to the Icon of Sin and punched its head, it reeled back and roared with a dent in its armor, everybody then heard Mundus grunt loudly and they saw a flying dragon explode on the light on his chest, "His chest's his weak point, fly me up there." Guts ordered, and Dommiel flew down and Guts stood on his back. Dommiel flew to Mundus while Guts held his sword up, Mundus saw them coming and made more brown orbs appear and they shot small white beams at them, it did not stop them and he began summoning rocks to fall from the sky and Guts cut them with his sword, Dommiel flew forward Guts stabbed his sword into Mundus' chest, he grunted loudly while Dante sent out another small dragon and it exploded on him, he grunted loudly again and his body began to crack and reveal an orange body underneath, Volvox shot hellfire blasts out of his mouths and destroyed Mundus' stone body, he quickly went into a portal and left. Hulk continued punching and throwing objects at the Icon of Sin's armor and began cracking it, the Doom Slayer fired his rocket launcher and ballista and the Icon of Sin's armor began to break off, Davoth made orange phantom demons to attack them, Mothra shot them with her beam and destroyed them. The Icon of Sin slammed its fists down and began punching at its attackers, everybody shot at it and its armor cracked even more, it reeled back and shot more fire out of its hands, Anguirus jumped and rammed the Icon of Sin with its back, it roared and fell over, it stood back up and its armor had even more cracks and chips of it fell off. Anguirus tried to jump and ram him again but the Icon of Sin grabbed him and threw him forward, Godzilla caught him and threw him back, the Icon of Sin got hit by Anguirus' back again and its armor broke more, Hulk leaped and punched it again, the Icon of Sin reeled back while roaring and all of its armor broke. The Icon of Sin stood back up and Harvey, Nick, and Lance shot red projectiles out of their right eyes' while their right hands changed to gatling guns and they fired at the Icon of Sin, Orchid shot fire out of her ring fingers, water out of her index fingers, yellow beams and small rocks out of her thumbs, small tornadoes out of her pinkies, and lightning out of her middle fingers, Amaterasu shot beads enchanted with ice magic out of her mouth while also painting with her tail to slash the Icon of Sin and blow it up with cherry bombs, they exploded but had little effect on it. The Icon of Sin summoned a large amount of meteors and everybody exclaimed but Amaterasu painted with her tail and made mist appear that slowed down time, everybody moved away while the big members remained. Volvox shot hellfire blasts at the Icon of Sin and burned it, Godzilla shot his atomic breath but it had little effect, the spines on his back glowed red and he shot a red atomic blast at the Icon of Sin, it roared as its bones got exposed, it soon fell over and the Doom Slayer soon climbed on it and stabbed a red sword into its brain and put it down, Davoth quickly opened a portal and left, "Is everyone alright?" Volvox asked, everybody nodded, "Good, let's see if we can eat these demons as food, good job, everyone." Volvox said, and everybody rested. The screen changed and everything on Earth was destroyed and humans were being wiped out by vampires, werewolves, trolls, ghouls, goblins, elves, fairies, orcs, dwarfs, ogres, cyclopes, giants, dragons, demons, Daedra, monsters from Silent Hill, monsters from elsewhere, ghosts, Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, Yautja, Harvesters, Terminators, Maykrs, Apostles, and humans mutated with Hulk's powers, every human was wiped out and everybody saw a light in the sky, a nuclear bomb fell and blew up the entire area while the camera became static. The recordings ended and Harvey turned the screen off, "See, you all basically have an idea how chaotic the apocalypse was, you all just saw only small bits and pieces of the whole thing, and at the end when the place was nuked, the entire world was overrun with all of those creatures there out to destroy us, we really didn't want to use nuclear weapons, but at that time, there were so many enemies to us, we didn't have a choice in order to ensue our survival." Harvey explained, "Where were you guys?" a girl questioned, "Underground bunkers, I went under the Earth while Godzilla went underwater, Anguirus, Rodan, Phoenix, and Thunderbird hid in caves, and Mothra went into space." Volvox responded, "Unfortunately, as you all can see, not every human was able to make it to an underground shelter, and the radiation mutated them." Dommiel added, "What's it like for you guys?" Newt asked, "Being mutated has its pros and cons, we have to adapt to our new bodies, of course, we can't touch anyone who isn't mutated since the radation in our body is harmful to them and will mutate them, but the good thing is we are immune to radiation in other areas and we can act as search teams." a male mutant with six arms and insect legs explained, "Those who didn't survive the nuclear blasts became ghosts, what's so dangerous about that is not just humans become ghosts, every other type of creature have become ghosts as well." Orchid stated, "So, every monster is a ghost now?" a boy asked, "Pretty much." Orchid replied, "That covers the apocalypse, I'll leave this picture here if you wanna read it." Volvox stated, and everybody noticed the other countries looking at them with shock and horror, the people looked at them briefly and got on with their days. Twilight Sparkle flew to the land and landed, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, everybody looked at her, "Can I look at that picture of the demons there?" Twilight Sparkle requested, "Go ahead, it's going to be there for a while since our kids wish to learn." Tom answered, "Don't worry, I won't be long." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she flew to it. She looked at the picture and saw Lucifer's, Mundus', Argosax's, and Davoth's names on it, she kept looking and saw many more names, the names in Lucifer's group were Leviathan, Mammon, Asmodeus, Belphegor, Beelzebub, Satan, Bael, Agares, Vassago, Samigina, Marbas, Valefor, Amon, Barbatos, Paimon, Buer, Gusion, Sitri, Beleth, Leraje, Eligos, Zepar, Botis, Bathin, Sallos, Purson, Marax, Ipos, Aim, Naberius, Glasya-Labolas, Buné, Ronove, Berith, Astaroth, Forneus, Foras, Asmoday, Gaap, Furfur, Marchosias, Stolas, Phenex, Halphas, Malphas, Raum, Focalor, Vepar, Sabnock, Shax, Vine, Bifrons, Vual, Haagenti, Crocell, Furcas, Balam, Alloces, Caim, Murmur, Orobas, Gremory, Ose, Amy, Orias, Vapula, Zagan, Valac, Andras, Flauros, Andrealphus, Kimaris, Amdusias, Belial, Decarabia, Seere, Dantalion, Andromalius, and Dommiel. She made a notebook appear with her magic and wrote down their names while she saw even more names of demons under Mundus' command, they were Sparda, Phantom, Griffon, Nightmare, Cerberus, Agni, Rudra, Nevan, Geryon, Beowulf, and Doppelganger. Twilight Sparkle then looked at Argosax's demons and saw the names Orangguerra, Jokatgulm, Nefesturris, Furiataurus, Noctpteran, Tartarussian, Plutonian, Bolverk, Freki, Geri, Tateobesu, and Trismagia. Twilight Sparkle then looked at Davoth's group and saw the names Cyberdemon, Spider Mastermind, Hell Guards, Icon of Sin, Mother Demon, Resurrector, Guardian of Hell, Sabaoth, Helltime Hunter, Berserk Hunter, Invulnerability Hunter, and Maledict. Twilight Sparkle finished writing them down and drawing them while some of their appearances surprised her, she also noticed that the name Nelo Angelo was missing, she finished looking and walked to Tom, "Thank you, Tom, there's something I noticed, some of the demons under Davoth look human." Twilight Sparkle commented, "They were, Sabaoth was turned into a demon against his will, Maledict had himself transformed willingly." Tom explained, "Wait, Maledict was originally a human?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Tom nodded, "Why did he choose to become a demon?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "We're not sure, but many believe he was crazy, the people stationed with him in the space station he was at also reported to Earth that he wanted to bring the Xenomorphs and Necromorphs back to our planet." Tom responded, Twilight Sparkle's jaw dropped, "Anything else you'd like to know?" Tom questioned, "Oh, yeah, one more thing, where's this Nelo Angelo demon that Dante mentioned in that picture?" Twilight Sparkle inquired, "That picture was made before his brother became Nelo Angelo, it was made before Dante was born, see that demon Sparda there in that picture? That's their father." Tom explained, "Wow, so that's your dad, what did your mom look like, Dante?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "My mother was an ordinary human." Dante responded, "Oh, so she looked just like the others here." Twilight Sparkle commented, Dante nodded, "Well, I'm done here, thanks for your time, guys." Twilight Sparkle said, and she flew away. Three days passed and Tom counted the food and safe water while trying his best to preserve it while Volvox made any land that appeared connect to their land and the everybody looked for survivors, "Excuse us, Chief Tom." a girl said, "What is it?" Tom asked, "Can we explore the other countries?" the kids asked together, the natives looked at them and the ponies, changelings, and kirins smiled, the dragons and griffons scowled, and the yaks, seaponies, and hippogriffs had neutral expressions, "Well, I'm not sure if that's a good idea, some of those natives don't look welcoming." Tom commented, "We just wanna see the friendly countries." a boy said, the other kids nodded, "I suppose it's fine to enter their countries, Tom, I don't see any border patrol at the other countries." Volvox said, the natives exclaimed with confusion and murmured, "What's border patrol?" Gabby asked, another female griffon shrugged, "Well, go ahead, but the adults will be with you in case there's trouble or danger, and if any threats come up here, you all are to come back and help us defend our land." Tom ordered, "Yes, Chief Tom." the kids stated, and they all headed to Equestria and Kirin Grove while Volvox used his telekinesis to move them across the water and the ponies and kirins smiled. The humans arrived in Equestria and Princess Celestia was waiting for them, "Hello, and welcome to Equestria, I am Princess Celestia, co-ruler of this country along with my sister. I hope you all enjoy your stay here, we have been looking forward for you all to come for quite a while now, so feel free to explore and have fun." Princess Celestia stated, the humans looked around while she noticed the humans brought knives, spears, bows, crossbows, arrows, bolts, guns, and bullets with them, "One more thing, everyhuman, no need for weapons, we are a very safe and peaceful country, I promise you all any violence or fighting here is unlikely among most of my subjects." Princess Celestia stated, "We were told your country had several conquerers and invaders." a man replied, "Well, yes, but they arrive every once in a while, same with any threats or danger, those are few and far between here as well." Princess Celestia stated, "And if any of your subjects try to pick a fight with us?" a woman questioned, "I will hear out all sides, but keep in mind that most fights we have are arguments and disagreements that are usually solved within several minutes, there's usually no violence involved." Princess Celestia explained, "Oh." the woman said, "Well, go ahead and explore, and try to have fun." Princess Celestia stated, and she flew away. The humans walked together while the ponies waved at them and said hi, they waved back and the kids looked in awe at seeing stores, restaurants, circuses, magic shows, and gardens, "Wow, it looks just like Earth before the apocalypse." an old woman stated, they kept walking and looking more, "It mostly is, but it looks like they don't have some of our technologies like TVs, radios, video games, or phones." a middle aged man spoke, they kept walking together while the ponies got on with their days and stopped when they saw a magic show going on, "Come one, come all, and witness the brilliance of the Great and Powerful Trixie." a unicorn said loudly, she appeared and everybody cheered, "Now, watch in awe as the Great and Powerful Trixie displays her magnificent magic tricks with the help of her partner, Starlight Glimmer." Trixie announced while Starlight Glimmer appeared on the stage. They performed magic tricks while the audience cheered and the human kids were in awe, they continued doing magic tricks while the older humans had flashbacks of gunfire when the two unicorns did bright lights for their performances, they tried to suppress the memories and enjoy the show, they finished and everybody cheered, "Wow, that was so cool." a boy stated, "It was, come on, let's keep exploring." a middle aged man replied, and they walked. The humans walked around Equestria and encountered a few wild animals while traveling, they fired warning shots into the sky and the loud gunshot scared the animals away, they also tried to buy stuff at the restaurants but the ponies explained that they do not accept dollar bills as currency and use bits, the kids began to get hungry and lose energy and the adults carried them. They arrived in Canterlot and the high class ponies turned away from them and scoffed, "Wow, they're just like the rich folk from pre-apocalyptic Earth." a middle aged woman commented, "Yup, some of them were among the first victims of the demons." a middle aged man replied, "What happened?" a girl asked, "Well, some rich people like to collect art from all over the world, some of them turned out to be demon artifacts or possessed by vengeful ghosts, either the demons were summoned through them, or the ghosts haunted them." an old man explained, "Oh." the girl stated, "Not all rich people were like that, though, some of them were military veterans and helped us fight immediately." a second middle aged man commented, "Is Chief Tom from a rich family?" a boy asked, "No, Chief Tom's from a middle-class family, he was a soldier doing active duty in the army when the apocalypse started." a second old woman explained, "Wow, that is very cool." the boy responded, "It's still a shame you all were born after everything was destroyed, what you all see here is pretty close to how our world was before the apocalypse began." a second old man stated, the kids looked around and looked in awe at the castle, "Why, hello there, newcomers." Princess Luna said as she flew down, "I am Princess Luna, sister of Princess Celestia and co-ruler of Equestria." Princess Luna announced, "Do you guys have any title higher than Princess?" a girl asked, "Nope, that's the highest title granted in our country." Princess Luna replied, "How unusual, so no queen or empress." a man stated, "We never had those titles in our country, it never occurred to us to use them." Princess Luna stated, "What about goddess?" a teenage boy questioned, "Oh, goodness, no, such a title would never be permitted in our country." Princess Luna spoke, "Say, why do a few of you have both, a horn and wings, is that a genetic thing or something?" a middle aged man asked, "Well, it might be now since my adopted niece's daughter was born as one, but before that, no, we had to do a princess worthy deed to become alicorns, us with both, horns and wings, are rulers of this country, there is five of us, me, my sister Celestia, my adopted niece Princess Cadence, her husband's sister Twilight Sparkle, you all already met her, and my niece's daughter, Flurry Heart." Princess Luna explained, "Being a leader doesn't mean too much for us, Chief Tom is mostly relaxed and a calm person." another stated, "Well, it's mostly because your world is destroyed, if it was developed like our country, you will see how busy being a leader or royalty really is." Princess Luna responded, "Um, where is that purple horse who visited us live?" another girl asked, "Princess Twilight lives in Ponyville to the south of here, my niece, her husband, and their daughter live in the Crystal Empire north of here, and we're called ponies, we don't use the word 'horse' to describe our kind here." Princess Luna answered, "You kids wanna go see Twilight Sparkle again?" another middle aged man asked, the kids cheered, "She's in Ponyville, can't miss it, I hope you all like it there." Princess Luna said, and she flew away while the humans went south. The humans in Kirin Grove looked around and some of the older ones had flashbacks, "Welcome to Kirin Grove, I am Rain Shine, ruler of this area, we recently reopened our country to others ever since we decided to end our vow of silence." Rain Shine stated, "Where's the one that was waving at us when we first arrived in this world?" a man asked, "Pardon?" Rain Shine commented, "There was one waving at us with a smile when we first came to this world." the man explained, "Oh, that's Autumn Blaze, that's her right there." Rain Shine answered as she pointed to her, "Why, hello there, everybody. My name's Autumn Blaze, I'm happy to see you all finally come here, I have been so lonely until we reopened recently, we closed because two kirins argued, turned into niriks, and ended up burning our village down, long story. I refused to take the vow of silence so we don't get angry and burn down the village again, so Rain Shine sent me away to live in the woods on my own away from the others, and I got so lonely, I had to make friends out of inanimate objects to keep myself company and talk to my shadow so I believe I had a friend, I also made imaginary friends to invisible to everybody except me while I was living all by myself, I'll let you all know where they're at when we..." Autumn Blaze said, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down a bit, I know you're excited, but we just got here, and we wanna take in the scenry first." a middle aged man stated, "Oh, go ahead, make yourselves at home, I think you all will enjoy the sights we have here." Autumn Blaze stated, and she trotted elsewhere. The humans looked at Kirin Grove and the older members looked at the kirins' homes, "Why do you all look interested in their homes for?" a girl questioned, "They look just like the old mound homes from our world from thousands of years ago." an old woman answered, the kirins murmured while the humans continued looking, "Look at that, they have puppetry, singing, stand up comedy, and making tea, just like our world before it was destroyed." a man stated, "Oh, that's wonderful, maybe we can exchange them with one another." Autumn Blaze suggested, "Well, we don't really have any tea anymore, but maybe we can do the rest." another man spoke, "I remember wanting to be a comedian before the apocalypse began." a young man commented, "Well, maybe now you can." Rain Shine stated, "Maybe." the young man said, "If you all want, I can show you the forest around here." Autumn Blaze stated, "Sure, it does look pretty full of life." a boy stated, "Great! Come on, there's a lot of stuff to see there, I'll show you all around since it's easy to get lost." Autumn Blaze spoke, and they followed her. The humans in Equestria arrived in Ponyville and they got startled and aimed their bows, crossbows, and guns when Pinkie Pie's party cannon went off, "Hello! I have prepared for you alls' Welcome to Ponyville party!" Pinkie Pie hollered, and music began playing while she danced. The kids clapped along and cheered her on while the adults looked around Ponyville, "Quite an interesting place they have here." a man said, "Yeah, it's different from the last area, almost like country folk versus city folk back at home." a woman replied, "Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to look around." an old man stated, the others agreed and walked together. Everybody looked around and saw Sweet Apple Acres, they decided to go over and saw Applejack, Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom, and Granny Smith there, "Why, howdy, y'all, Ah see y'all have finally decided to come visit us." Applejack stated, "I remember you." a middle aged man commented, "Ya better, Ah'm the only one of that group who does farmin'." Applejack responded, and they watched her family work, "Wow, they're doing a much better job at growing food than we are." a girl commented, "Their land's not polluted with radiation like ours, their soil is probably healthier, too." a second man replied, "We've had lots of time to grow, too, we don't really have any starvin' and strugglin' to survive people like y'all, so we have the time to grow apple trees." Applejack commented, "We've had apple trees before the apocalypse, but they're destroyed now." an old man said, "Oh, dang, if y'all want, the deal with mah family and I givin' y'all some of our apples is still available if y'all need it." Applejack stated, "Eeyup." Big Macintosh said, "Thanks, but Chief Tom will have to decide that." an old woman replied, "Y'all wanna try some of our famous apple recipes?" Apple Bloom suggested, "What do apples taste like?" the human kids asked the adults together, "Come on in, and Ah'll get y'all some apples, and try to unwind, y'all kids should be outside, playin', havin' fun, not bein' forced to preserve food and fightin' to survive." Granny Smith answered, and they entered. The Apple family began making their dishes and they smelled the food in the air, "Mmm, that smells good." a boy stated, "Hold your appetite, it was customary when I was your age not to eat until everybody got their dish." an old woman responded, and they waited until they finished cooking and served the dishes, "Alright, y'all, time to eat." Granny Smith said, and they did. The kids ate messily while the adults chuckled, they enjoyed the apple dishes, they finished and the kids smiled, "Mmm, this is yummy." another boy stated, "Thank you." a girl spoke, "Yer welcome, tell y'all what, we'll give y'all some of our apples so the other kids can try 'em, but we'll need to examine the soil first before we plant a tree there." Granny Smith spoke, "Can I visit y'all one day?" Apple Bloom requested, "Sure, but not when we're being attacked." a middle aged man replied, "Okay." Apple Bloom chirped, "Have fun explorin' Ponyville, y'all." Applejack spoke, and they left. The humans kept walking through Ponyville and saw Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Rarity again, "So this is where they live." a girl said, "It's a pretty nice place, I gotta admit." a man replied, "Well, come on, let's see what else they have here." a middle aged woman stated, and they walked. They looked at the places and their attentions were caught at seeing Sugarcube Corner, "Is that building... made out of candy?" a second man asked, "It looks like it." a woman responded, "Look at that, just like Hansel and Gretel." a third man commented, the older members chuckled, "Hansel and Gretel?" Twilight Sparkle asked as she walked to them, "Old fairy tale from our world." an old woman answered, "Oh, I'd like to read it if possible, but let's get to what I want to ask, are you all liking Equestria so far?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's alright." a teenage boy answered, the other humans nodded, "My castle is over there, and over there is the School of Friendship, I'm the headmistress of that school." Twilight Sparkle explained, "School of Friendship?" an old man asked with confusion, "I don't know how you guys' world is, but friendship is an extremely valued trait in our country and culture, it literally powers our country's defenses against outside threats and prevents the Wendigos from coming and freezing our country, we are big on love and forgiveness, too." Twilight Sparkle explained, "Our enemies were not the types to forgive." another teenage boy stated, "You guys didn't at least try to sit down and negotiate a peace treaty or truce between you all and your attackers?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "Nope, they just started attacking and killing us immediately." a fourth man answered, "Not only that, some of our attackers are like wild animals and driven by instinct, logic and reasoning doesn't work on them." a young boy added, "But you all said two demons defected to your side." Twilight Sparkle reminded, "And only those two, every other demon remained firmly on killing humans." a middle aged woman spoke, "There weren't any creatures willing to form a truce of some sort?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "Best chance for that is with the Yautja and Cenobites, but that's unlikely to happen, the Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, and the Thing are like wild animals and driven by a desire to survive and kill, the Harvesters want to kill all life, the Terminators are machines and can't be reasoned with, the demons and Daedra actively seek out people to kill, and pretty much everything else wants to kill all life." a teenage girl explained, Twilight Sparkle looked at her with a shocked and baffled expression, "Trust us, we wish it wasn't that way, but you must keep in mind that they attacked us first, it was fight back or be killed for us." a fifth man stated, "Well, hopefully, you all won't have to resort to that here, I'll leave you all to explore Ponyville now." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she left while the humans continued exploring. Volvox, Dommiel, Phoenix, Thunderbird, and Mothra watched the humans traveling the other countries and noticed them having fun, "Hey, Tom, your subjects are actually enjoying themselves in the other countries." Volvox said, "That's good, we probably have to migrate elsewhere sooner or later anyway." Tom replied, "How's the crops and rations looking?" Dommiel asked, "Low, it's getting worse, too, the soil here is losing its nutrition and won't be able to grow much more." Tom answered, "We're not going to have to make Soylent Green, are we?" Ash questioned, "We're trying to avoid that." Volvox responded, "Hulk don't want to be put in another Soylent Green factory." Hulk said, "We'll try to avoid that, Hulk, but if things get really bad, you might have to share your canned beans with everyone." Dommiel spoke, "No, canned beans for Hulk." Hulk remarked, "The others will starve if you don't share, Hulk." Volvox reminded, Hulk got a little smaller while thinking about what Volvox said, "The sun's beginning to set, I think now would be a good time to bring them back." Orchid commented, Volvox looked and saw the humans standing at the water and waiting, Volvox brought them to the land with his telekinesis. The humans arrived back and smiled, "How were the other lands?" Newt asked, "Fun! The people are nice, too!" a boy responded, "It looks a bit like Earth before the apocalypse, too, they also have some of the same forms of entertainment as us." a man added, "Yeah, just minus technologies like TV, radios, video games, and phones, they seem to have go carts, though." a woman said, "We also brought back apples for you all." a girl stated, and they shared it with the others, "Look at that, sweet apples, I guess they don't have any sour ones." Tom commented, "Well, Tom, maybe our migration to another land to survive problem might be solved." Volvox said, "I sure hope so, we won't last another year if we stay here." Tom replied, "I'm tired from traveling today." a boy spoke, "Me too, I'd like to get some sleep." a girl added, "Might as well, sun's about to set." Nick said, and they all slept. The next morning came and another land appeared to the south after everybody was awake, Volvox moved it forward briefly but stopped when he sensed something off, "What's wrong, Volvox?" a girl asked, "I sense a malevolent force there." Volvox responded, Amaterasu walked forward and looked, she got into a defensive position and beared her teeth, "Ammy's sensing something off, too." Issun commented, "Harvey, Nick, Lance, are your robotic eyes picking up anything?" Orchid asked, "Nope." Nick replied, "Nothing." Harvey answered, "I'm not getting anything." Lance stated, Dommiel made black shadow wings come out of his back and flew forward. He examined the place and saw transparent light blue figures with angry expressions looking at him, he quickly flew back, "Ghosts!" Dommiel hollered, the ghosts of humans, demons, vampires, werewolves, trolls, ghouls, goblins, elves, fairies, orcs, dwarfs, ogres, cyclopes, giants, and dragons flew forward and went to attack the people. Volvox's eyes glowed light blue as he looked at the astral plane while Dommiel tried shooting his shadow magic at them but it went through them, Giovi's magic and Orchid's magic went through them as well. The ghosts possessed the food, grass blades, and weapons, and they began floating around, they began attacking everybody while Volvox focuses and tried to force the ghosts out. Guts cut the grasses with his sword and the spirits flew out, "Hmm?" Guts said as he noticed the ghosts were moving around in the daytime, "These ghosts are different from the ones I usually fight." Guts remarked, Giovi enchanted his finger blades with magic and a light red outline surrounded his ten blades. He tried slashing the ghosts but it had no effect, one tried to possess him and he resisted with his willpower and shot the ghost out. Volvox used his spiritual powers to forcefully pull the ghosts out of the objects they possessed and they flew around and tried to fill the people's minds with unpleasant flashbacks. Several people fell to the ground and cried and screamed while clutching their heads, Amaterasu painted horizontal lines with her tail and slashes appeared but they did not affect them, "Harvey, contact Samuel, we need microwave beams." Volvox ordered, Harvey nodded and turned on the screen and Samuel Hayden appeared, "This is the UAC, what is your emergency?" Samuel questioned, "Ghosts, hundreds of them." Harvey answered, "Hang on, I'll be deploying plasma rifles with microwave beam modules attached now." Samuel said, and he went off. The ghosts possessed the Terminators and they began shooting their weapons at everybody, while Harvey, Nick, and Lance tried to shut them down with their psychic powers but it had no effect, Orchid shot lightning out of her middle fingers and tried to short circuit them but it did not work. A twinkle appeared in the sky and a big metallic crate with fire around it flew down and landed on the ground and left a crater. Snake ran to it and the crate opened itself and he saw the weapons, the ghosts quickly flew to possess them and the rifles floated around and shot at everybody. Volvox focused and tried to force the ghosts out of the plasma rifles but they began shooting at his three heads, he leaned down to dodge them and soon got them out, he then gave the plasma rifles to the humans with his telekinesis. Every human except Newt and the kids used the microwave beams on the ghosts while Volvox held them in place with his telekinesis and the ghosts got destroyed by the microwave beams, all of them were soon destroyed. Everybody except Volvox, Giovi, Guts, Hulk, Bishop, and the Terminators panted while looking around, "Is everyone alright?" Tom asked, everybody nodded, Volvox then connected the land to theirs and Bishop, Hulk, and the mutants went to go examine it. They examined area while the mutants with psychic powers moved the buildings around while Hulk flipped them over, "No survivors." Bishop reported, "Didn't think so, the ghosts haunting the place probably killed them all." Dommiel remarked, and Volvox brought Bishop back while the others walked back. Everybody rested and noticed the other countries watching them, they heard them murmuring about the ghosts and discussing creating countermeasures, "I guess they don't have countermeasures against ghosts." Dante commented, "Neither did we until the Doom Slayer discovered his microwave beam works, it's a miracle the UAC had it mass produced to deal with the ghosts." Tom replied, "Well, I guess we'll have to hold onto them for now." Ash said, the others agreed and got on with their days until another island appeared to the east. Volvox moved it forward slowly with his telekinesis while everybody aimed their weapons, "I'll swallow your soul!" a raspy distorted female voice said, and creatures appeared out of the buildings, "Deadites!" a man said, "Step back, everyone, I got this." Ash stated, and he walked forward. The Deadites ran forward while Ash readied his chainsaw, they swam to the land and Ash began fighting them and shooting them with his boomstick, many Deadites went down and the demons possessing them flew out and went on to try to possess others and Volvox's eyes glowed light blue and he tried to destroy them. The Kandarian Demons floated down to the people and tried to possess them but everybody ran away while Dommiel got the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis. He opened it and looked for the page to seal the spirits away and found it. He began reciting the passage while his voice echoed and Ash heard him, he continued fighting the Deadites while Guts and Dante joined in and helped him, a big swarm of Deadites came out and they ran to attack them. Ash floated into the air with orange lightning coming out of his limbs while his torso moved around, he landed and bent down, he stood up and growled while he grew taller and more muscular, his eyes turned pure white, his skin turned to an orangish hue, and orange electricity moved around his body. Ash moved faster before and fired his boomstick constantly and each shot made the Deadites explode, he also attacked them with his chainsaw and destroyed them easily. Guts and Dante cut down the Deadites with their swords and Guts remained stoic and serious while Dante had fun, all of the Deadites were destroyed and the demons floated up and looked for hosts. Dommiel finished reciting the passage and a portal open and sucked in the demons while Volvox held everybody with his telekinesis, all of the demons got sucked in and Dommiel recited another passage to close the portal. Everybody sighed with relief while orange electricity appeared on Ash and he changed back to normal, he puts his boomstick on his back and looked back, "See, everyone, that's why I'm hired to deal with the Deadites." Ash commented, "What did you turn into?" a boy asked, "Oh, that? That's just my bad side, when my job gets hard, my bad side emerges to put those Deadites in their places." Ash explained, "You look like you turned into a Deadite yourself." Newt remarked, "That's why it's called my bad side, I try to keep it from emerging, but sometimes, I have no choice." Ash responded, "You're not gonna attack us, are you?" a girl asked, "Nah, don't worry, I can tell friend from foe." Ash replied, and he walked back while Volvox connected the new land to theirs and everybody got on with their days. The Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer stood together and watched the land, "Did you all see what Ash turned into?" Scootaloo asked, "Yes, I think we all did, Scootaloo." Princess Celestia answered, "What do you all think it was?" Sweetie Belle questioned, "Well, considering that he seemed to turn into one of those things, I'm guessing he turned into a Deadite but he's against them." Princess Luna deduced, "I wonder what gave him the ability to turn into one." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Who knows, but he did call it his bad side, I guess he changes to it when he's mad." Starlight Glimmer replied, "He didn't sound serious when he said that." Sunset Shimmer reminded, "Well, whatever it is, it's clear that he has high destructive power in that form, let's go ahead and keep an eye on them and see if anymore of them can transform." Princess Celestia spoke, and they walked back to their homes. Four days passed with no incident and Tom counted the amount of crops they had, "Our food's getting low, the soil won't grow much more, we'll have to start migrating soon." Tom stated, "The farm family we met in the horses' country said they're willing to plant apple trees here for us if the soil's suitable for growing them." a girl explained, "Well, what do you say, Volvox?" Tom asked, "Tom, remember, I'm not the ruler anymore, you are, you decide." Volvox reminded, "Alright then, let's hold a vote, how many want to try to have the apple trees planted here?" Tom asked, he and everybody else raised their hands' while Volvox raised his front right leg, "Oh, it's an unanimous vote, let's go ask them." Tom said, and Volvox sent the humans who visited Equestria back with his telekinesis and they headed to Sweet Apple Acres, they signaled they were ready and Volvox brought them all back with his telekinesis. The Apple family got their items out and they began testing the soil's Ph level, "Ph level is fine, Ah'll go ahead and test to see how much fertilizer this soil's got." Granny Smith stated, and Apple Bloom helped her set up the tester, they watched the numbers appear on a small screen, "There's enough fertilizer, let's go ahead and try plantin' a few, we're gonna need help with the diggin' if y'all don't mind helpin'." Granny Smith said, and the teenage and adult humans dug the ground by hand and Applejack and Big Macintosh planted an apple tree, "There, we're gonna go ahead and plant the rest, and if possible, maybe spread it out a bit." Applejack stated, "Negative, my readings say all of the other places here have radiation in their soil, it will mutate the trees." Bishop remarked, "Oh, well, um, Ah guess it's gonna get a little cramped here then." Applejack said, and they planted the rest while Orchid used her earth magic to open holes in the ground and Volvox and Giovi planted them with their telekinesis, "There, it took quite some time, but that's all of 'em." Applejack spoke, "Any of you know how to take care of apple trees?" Tom questioned, "I do, I know when to water them, how to prune them..." a woman spoke, "Whoa, whoa, whoa there, these are magical trees, the apples grow on their own, no need to do any waterin' or prunin'." Applejack stated, "Oh, that's convenient." the woman said, "Say, y'all have any cooking utensils?" Apple Bloom asked, "Well, we did have cuisine, but a lot of ovens, stoves, cooking utensils, and recipe books were destroyed during the apocalypse, we don't cook here because we don't have any rocks or sticks to use, so we eat everything raw." a man spoke, "Well, Ah suppose some sticks and pots wouldn't hurt, hope y'all don't mind campfire cookin'." Applejack said, "What's campfire cooking?" a boy asked, "We'll show you all if possible since you all never saw cooking before." a man responded, "Actually, mah family and I cooked in our kitchen when some of y'all visited us." Apple Bloom reminded, "Oh." the kids said, "So that's what cooking is." one girl remarked, "Y'all never seen cookin' before?" Apple Bloom inquired, "They were born after all of civilization on our world was destroyed." Tom responded, "They were born here, too, and we don't have anything to use for cooking besides making a fire with the grass." Dommiel added, "Oh." Apple Bloom stated, "Well, best of luck to y'all, mah brother here and Ah have to get back to our farm and pick more apples to sell." Applejack said, and Volvox sent them back with his telekinesis while Granny Smith, Applejack, and Apple Bloom said bye and Big Macintosh waved at them. The next day came and everybody except Volvox, Dommiel, Phoenix, Thunderbird, and Hulk ate the apples, Hulk dumped a full can of beans into his mouth and burped loudly, the ground shook from it, everybody continued eating the apples until they were full. Volvox looked at the Marker, the collection of Beherits, the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, and the collection of Lament Configurations, "What is it, Volvox?" Orchid asked as she walked to him, "I've been trying to think of a way to destroy these, but nothing's worked so far, Dommiel and I have made no progress on getting rid of them." Volvox explained, "Wanna try combining everything we have together?" Orchid suggested, "Sure, as long as it destroys these." Volvox responded and everybody stepped back. Volvox reeled up on his hind legs and orange light appeared on the balls of his front feet, on the tips of front feet's toes with five on each one, in his three mouths, and in his six eyes and inside the two eyes holes of his skeletal head, and red electricity appeared on his tail's tip, Dommiel made black energy appear in his hands, Tom, the Count of Saint Germain, Snake, and several more humans aimed their bows, crossbows, and guns, Giovi's blades glowed light red, Phoenix and Thunderbird spread their wings, Harvey, Nick, and Lance changed their right hands into guns while their right eyes' glowed red while using their psychic powers to instruct the Terminators to aim their guns, Orchid had fire on her ring fingers, water on her index fingers, yellow beams surrounded by rocks on thumbs, tornadoes on her pinkies, and lightning on her middle fingers, Ripley and Dwayne aimed high-powered guns, Dutch held a gatling gun, John and MacReady lit bombs, Ash transformed back into his Deadite form, Guts activated his Berserker Armor, Godzilla's spines glowed red, Mothra was ready to fire a beam, Rodan readied his wings, Dante activated his devil trigger and aimed three gun barrels out of his palms, Torque turned into the Creature and had white electricity around himself, Isaac grunted loudly as he held and aimed his contact beam and charged it, Sebastian aimed a rocket launcher, Amaterasu got ready to paint with her tail, and Hulk growled as he grew bigger, "Should we ask the UAC to deploy the BFG?" a middle aged man questioned, "Nah, it's too risky, if we fire it wrong, there's risk it will hit us or the other countries, plus, the Doom Slayer has it, I don't think he's willing to give it up." an old man answered, "Okay, on three, everybody, one, two, three." Tom ordered, and they attacked. Volvox shot hundreds of hellfire blasts out of his eyes, mouths, tips of his front toes, balls of his front feet, and red electricity out of the tip of his tail, Dommiel shot a big black shadow blast, Giovi shot red blasts out of his knife blades, Tom, the Count of Saint German, Ripley, Dwayne, Dutch, Sebastian, Snake, and the other humans fired their bows, crossbows, and guns, the Terminators fired their plasma weapons, Phoenix and Rodan flapped their wings and fire and gusts of wind went forward, Thunderbird shot lightning out of his wings, Harvey, Nick, and Lance shot big red blasts out of their right eyes' and missiles out of the guns replacing their right hands, Orchid shot fire, water, earth, wind, and lightning blasts fused into one, John and MacReady threw the bombs, Ash fired explosive shells from his boomstick, Guts began moving wildly while slashing the artifacts at blinding speeds and fired the cannon built into his prosthetic left arm, Godzilla and Mothra shot beams and blasts out, Dante shot fire, ice, and lightning projectiles out of his palms at the speed of machine guns, Torque's electricity electrocuted the artifacts and created explosions, Isaac fired his contact beam, and Amaterasu painted and made cherry bombs, tornaodes, big fire, heavy rain, lightning bolts, and ice appear, they stopped to take a break and Anguirus and Hulk jumped forward, Anguirus rammed the artifacts with his back while Hulk landed on the ground while screaming and slammed his fists down and made another crater. Everybody stopped and waited for the dust to clear, Ash, Guts, Dante, and Torque changed back to normal while they waited, it cleared and everybody's eyes' widened when they saw the Marker, the Beherits, the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, and the Lament Configurations were completely undamaged, "What the?" a man asked, "It didn't work." Snake commented, "I don't understand, that Marker was supposed to be destroyed. That Marker was supposed to be destroyed!" Isaac said angrily, "Isaac, remember, this isn't an ordinary Marker, this is a magically crafted one, the other three are magically crafted as well." Volvox reminded, "Hulk smash demon artifacts!" Hulk hollered and he grew even bigger. He began punching his fists into the ground and made more craters as he tried to destroy the Beherits and Lament Configurations, he stopped and panted and saw the artifacts were undamaged, "What do we do then?" Newt questioned, "Maybe we can help." Princess Luna said as she and Princess Celestia flew to them. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna landed and walked to them, "I can see you all are having trouble getting rid of them, I wish to see what we can do since these artifacts put us and the other creatures here in danger as well, we'll see if we can destroy them, if not, then at least try to seal them away." Princess Celestia explained, "Which one do you two want gone first?" Volvox asked, "The Marker, I have seen firsthoof what it does and its effects, destroying or nullifying that thing is imperative." Princess Luna answered, "We'd rather have them destroyed completely." the Count of Saint Germain stated, everybody agreed, "Let us see what we can do. Hulk, would you kindly step back?" Princess Celestia requested, and he did. Princess Celestia's and Princess Luna's horns had magic auras around them and they tried casting a spell to destroy the artifacts, they shot big blasts out of their horns while Princess Celestia also made the sun stronger and had a big ray come out and tried to burn the artifacts, Princess Luna then summoned lightning and zapped them, they stopped and looked with shock when they saw the artifacts were undamaged, "My, these artifacts are persistent." Princess Celestia commented, "I guess you all can't destroy them, either?" Guts asked, "Hold on, I'm going to get others for help." Princess Celestia answered, and she flew away, "I'm assuming our magic and powers are still new to you." Tom stated, "Yes, they are, you all have so much variety in your resources, I've been alive for over a thousand years, and this is my first time ever hearing about things like demons, Daedra, aliens, and radiation." Princess Luna answered, "Do you have any magical artifacts in this world?" Ash questioned, "Yes, we do, but most of our artifacts are used for good, they're not as destructive as these four, either." Princess Luna responded, "Which one scared you the most?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "The Marker, definitely, I can't believe something like this exists, it shouldn't be real, the Beherit is a close second as well, these shouldn't real if you ask me." Princess Luna commented, "About the Marker, the UAC has reported to us there are several traveling throughout space on asteroids, they also reported that they seem to fly to planets with sentient life in particular." Volvox said, "What? There's more?" Princess Luna inquired, "They said they've seen hundreds of them." Harvey replied, Princess Luna had a horrified expression. Princess Celestia came back and Princess Cadence and Twilight Sparkle flew with her, they landed and Star Swirl the Bearded, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Trixie, Sunburst, and Shining Armor appeared, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Spike, Garble, Smolder, and the dragons flew to the land, and Autumn Blaze, Rain Shine, and the kirins trotted on water and arrived at the land, Volvox carried them forward with his telekinesis and over the radioactive territories, "Is Flurry Heart okay?" Princess Cadence asked, "She's asleep right now, we decided it would be best not to bring her because we don't want the Marker to affect her." Sunburst answered, "Okay, everyone, join with me, let's combine our powers together." Princess Celestia ordered, and they did. The land's natives did their attacks again while Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Sunburst, Star Swirl the Bearded, Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Trixie fired their most powerful blasts from their horns while the kirins transformed into niriks and shot fire out of their horns and the dragons used their fire breaths, Princess Celestia also made the sun fire a big ray down while Princess Luna summoned lightning to electrocute the artifacts. Everybody stopped and Ash, Guts, Dante, Torque, and the kirins changed back to normal, the ponies, dragons, and kirins exclaimed with shock at seeing the artifacts were still undamaged, "What the? Even with our combined might, we still can't destroy them." Princess Ember stated, "You all! As big as me! Let's try stomping on them!" Dragon Lord Torch suggested and he alongside Volvox, Godzilla, and Anguirus tried smashing the artifacts with their feet but it did no damage, "What do we do then?" Trixie questioned, "Seal them away and place spells on them to nullify their powers, I'm hoping at least that will work." Princess Celestia answered, "Before we do that, I would like to look at the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis and examine that book's contents." Twilight Sparkle said, "Good luck with that, not even I can translate its language." Dante replied, Twilight Sparkle opened the book with her telekinesis and the others looked, "Wha...? What is this?" Princess Luna questioned as she saw the drawing of monsters in it and everything written in blood and in an unknown language, "It was first found at the cabin I was staying at, a man there and his daughter that arrived later were able to read and understand its contents, but both of them are dead now." Ash remarked, "P... Princess Twilight, you're not gonna use it, are you?" Garble quivered, "No, of course not, I just wanna take a look at it, and if possible, have it translated." Twilight Sparkle replied, "For what?" Dommiel asked, "So I can know what the pages say, and if possible, I can create counter spells against the book's powers and whatever creatures that it summons." Twilight Sparkle responded, "I think it's for the best, the Deadites will attack anyone regardless of who or what they are." the Count of Saint Germain stated, "I agree, Dommiel, would you translate the book for her?" Tom requested, Dommiel nodded and walked forward. Twilight Sparkle made notes appear and Dommiel translated the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis into English and Twilight Sparkle wrote it down with a quill, "Hey, that looks like that Ash guy right there." Spike said as he pointed to him, "It is, this passage is about the Hero from the Sky, and how Ash is the chosen one who will help King Arthur and his knights put down the Deadites and save England." Dommiel explained, "It wasn't easy, I certainly didn't have fun there, either." Ash remarked, "Trust me, Ash, I know how hard it can be to be the chosen one and have so many responsibilities." Twilight Sparkle stated, "I don't understand, though, to be the chosen one in our country usually requires one to be extremely talented in magic and personally trained by royalty, you seem to lack both of them." Princess Cadence spoked, "Yeah, it doesn't work like that in our world, I became the chosen one because I was the most competent at killing the Deadites." Ash explained, "Ash, you have a lot to learn before you can fulfill your role as the chosen one properly." Princess Celestia remarked while shaking her head, "So, um..., is there anymore chosen ones among you guys?" Spike asked, "In a way, I'm one as well, since my father fought and sealed away demons to protect humanity the best he could, I sometimes have to clean up his mess whenever they reemerge because no one else can stand up to the demons where I originally lived, and the keepsakes of my mother and father are keys to opening and closing portals that allow them to come to Earth in the first place." Dante explained, "Oh, wow, that does sound like a lot of responsibility, you got any friends to help you?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Every now and then, I have a partner to help, but most cases, no, I'm working alone." Dante replied, "It never hurts to have friends every now and then, Dante." Shining Armor remarked, "I know, but most people at places I go to for my job can't stand up to the demons except me, so I have to fight them alone." Dante responded, "Maybe you should reach out, Dante, Equestria is always willing to make new friends." Sunburst stated, "I'll think about it." Dante said, "I'm a chosen one, too, Skynet has sent Terminators back in time to try to kill my mother before I was born." John spoke, "Oh, wow, I'm really lucky no one has tried that with me and my brother's parents." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Yeah, that would've affected me as well, I probably would've never been born if that happened." Spike spoke, "It would've affected Equestria's history as well." Princess Celestia added, "Is there anymore?" Princess Luna asked, "Yeah, the Doom Slayer, we've found reports about him being selected as the chosen one by some group called the Night Sentinels choosing him to wear their crown and blessed by someone called the Seraphim, it is believed that he is destined to defeat Davoth and put down his demons." Harvey explained, "Who is this Seraphim?" Princess Luna asked, "We don't know." Volvox replied, "Hmm, I wonder if that's true." Princess Celestia commented, "So, um... anymore chosen ones you guys have?" Sunset Shimmer questioned, "Well, I think Isaac is one in a twisted way." Dommiel answered, "What do you mean twisted?" Smolder questioned, "When Hulk was Dr. Banner, he examined the minds of those from the USG Ishimura, he discovered that the hallucinations and visions Isaac had were different from everybody else's, symbols in a strange language and blueprints appeared in his mind and nobody else's." Dommiel explained, "I don't know what that was, neither does anyone else here." Isaac said, "I'll need to see those one day, come on, Dommiel, let's finish translating this book." Twilight Sparkle stated, and he continued translating the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis for her and explained the monsters on the pages, "Okay, it's done, thank you kindly, Dommiel, I'll see if I can create some counter spells back in Equestria." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and Dommiel walked back, "Okay, let's seal them away." Princess Celestia remarked, and she alongside Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Star Swirl the Bearded, and Twilight Sparkle cast a spell together, yellow, blue, gray, and light pink chains and locks surrounded the artifacts while a pink shield appeared around them and then a light blue shield, "Okay, they're sealed, I'll go ahead and put them in a restrictive area in Canterlot." Princess Celestia stated, and she teleported them away with her magic, "Good luck to you all, if you want find more of the artifacts, send them to me, and I'll seal them away." Princess Celestia stated, and she and the others left or teleported away. The next day arrived and everyone saw Twilight Sparkle practicing her magic and trying to create counter spells to the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis' monsters, another island then appeared to the south and Volvox moved it forward slowly. Everybody readied their weapons and a small group of men and several dogs came out of hiding, "Wait, don't shoot!" one man said, "We're unarmed, we come in peace." a second man added, the kids lowered their weapons while the dogs with Amaterasu began barking at them, the newcomers remained unfazed, "Are they Terminators?" John asked, "No, my scanners say they're organic." Harvey replied, the dogs continued barking while Amaterasu smelled them, she got into a fighting stance and beared her teeth, "Guys, I think Ammy's onto something." Issun stated, Nick continued scanning them and his human eye widened, "It's the Thing!" Nick exclaimed, MacReady quickly looked at them. The new humans and dogs began to shake around and their bodies mutated with tentacles coming out, each newcomer roared monstrously while the creatures in the other countries screamed. The creatures began jumping forward while tentacles grew out of them and tried to touch everyone, Tom, the Count of Saint Germain, Ripley, Dwayne, Dutch, MacReady, John, Snake, Isaac, Torque, and all other adult humans used flamethrowers while Orchid shot fire out of her ring fingers, Sebastian got his crossbow and fired incendiary bolts at the land's shore to set it on fire, and Amaterasu painted a picture with her tail to summon more fire. The Thing screeched as all of the mutated people caught on fire and ran back, MacReady, John, and Snake then lit bombs and threw them and made them explode, Phoenix then flapped his wings to spread fire to burn the new land, more Things came out and ran out around, Volvox then shot hellfire blasts out of his mouth and destroyed the land. Everybody kept their weapons up but no creature appeared, so Orchid shot water out of her index fingers and extinguished the flames, "Was anybody touched by any of them?" MacReady questioned, everybody shook their heads, "Volvox, we need to keep the shores on fire, every cell and atom in it is alive and independent, if one part of it survived, it will come back." MacReady explained, Volvox nodded and shot hellfire blasts out again and lit their land's shores on fire, John then sent the Terminators to examine the shore while the other countries watched uncomfortably. The Terminators examined the shores and scanned the areas but found nothing, tentacles emerged from the fire and the Terminators were dragged in, the Thing emerged onto the shore as a big blob with various humans, animals, monsters, demons, and Daedra in it. Tentacles grew out of it while Volvox shot hellfire blasts at it and it continued coming forward, the tentacles grabbed a few adults and pulled them forward and began eating them while they screamed. Tom, MacReady, John, Snake, Torque, and the others quickly got a bunch of their explosives and bundled them together and lit it, they threw it at the Thing while the others moved back, the bomb exploded and the Thing's body parts flew everywhere, Volvox quickly gathered them with his telekinesis and Ripley burned them with her flamethrower. Everybody heard gurgling and realized the adults who got attacked were mutating into Things, Dutch used his flamethrower on them and they ran away while screaming and Tom quickly lit bombs and threw them at them and they exploded. MacReady quickly ordered everybody to get together and they did, "To you young kids, I'm going to have to do a test, any of us can be one of those things, so I need to do a blood test, brace yourselves, this is going to hurt a bit." MacReady stated, "No need for that, MacReady, my son, Lance, and I can scan them and see if they're infected or not." Harvey reminded, "Oh, that's convenient, go ahead then." MacReady spoke, and they scanned and analyzed everybody, "Everyone's fine." Nick said, "You sure?" MacReady questioned, "We're sure." Lance answered, "Alright, I'll go ahead and douse the fires so they don't spread to here." Orchid stated, and she shot water out of her index fingers and put them out while Amaterasu made rain appear and doused the fires, "Stay on guard, everydragon, if you all see that creature here or any signs of it, use your fire breath immediately." Princess Ember ordered to the dragons, "I feared this day would come, my fellow kirins, that creature assumes the form of any creature, so if you all spot it, change into your nirik forms." Rain Shine said to the kirins, "My little ponies, it is with great distress that this creature from their world has arrived in our world, what I am about to say is very important, so listen carefully. That new hostile creature there takes the form and mimics any creature or animal, it is very dangerous and aggressive, anypony who sees it must report it to the royal guards immediately, do not try to fight it or capture it since it infects and mutates any living creature upon physical contact, we are going to put up shields around every settlement and deploy some of our guards to Griffonstone, the Crystal Empire, Mount Aris, Seaquestria, and the Changeling Hive since they have no way to defend themselves against their abilities, if any of you spot it, let me know, and me and the rest of Equestria's defenders will deal with it accordingly." Princess Celestia spoke to the ponies in her Royal Canterlot Voice, "Should we help them?" Newt asked, "Well, they did give us more food, so yeah, helping them would be repayment for that." Tom responded, "I guess we're going to be up all night, won't be the first time for me." Guts commented, "Me neither, but I don't think the kids here can pull an all nighter." Snake responded, "Alright, kids, here's how it will go." Sebastian stated, and he explained everybody will take turns patrolling and sleeping while the remaining Terminators will remain active at all times and they began when night time came. A week passed and the Thing did not emerge, everybody watched carefully and another land appeared to the east, Volvox waited and more humans soon came out of hiding, "Scan them." Tom instructed, and Harvey, Nick, and Lance scanned the men, "They're human." Nick reported, and Volvox connected the land. The men walked through the radioactive parts with no problem and everybody became suspicious, "There he is!" one man said as he pointed to Hulk, "It's the Hulk!" a second man said, "Get him!" a third man ordered, and the twenty four men ran to him while Hulk growled, all twenty four men grew bigger and their skins changed green as they turned into Hulks. The mutated men began attacking Hulk and Hulk punched them away while growling, they got back up and ran to him to attack him again, "We'll deal with him, the rest of you get the supplies." one mutated man ordered, and twenty of them went to go attack and rob the land's natives while the children screamed. The adults fired their weapons and the arrows and bullets bounced off of them and shot back at the others, Volvox shot hellfire blasts at them while Dommiel shot shadow blasts, they had no effect and Giovi tried slashing the invaders with his blades but they could not cut their skins. Hulk punched the invaders away while grunting and screaming angrily but the mutated humans did back flips and landed on their feet, the four continued attacking him and he tried punching and kicking them but they were unfazed and continued running to him and attacking him. Hulk tried to fight back his four attackers but got distracted when he heard a kid scream, he looked and saw some of the other gamma mutated invaders punching and kicking the kids, one boy was getting punched into the ground and he noticed everybody having trouble fending them off. Hulk roared and grew bigger while his four attackers stopped attacking and their eyes' widened, Hulk punched them while grunting angrily and the four men screamed as they flew into the air and fell into the water, he then ran to help the others. Volvox and Godzilla tried to stomp on the mutated invaders but they held their feet up, Anguirus tried jumping and ramming the invaders with his back but two of them picked him up and threw away, Guts tried to slash one invader with his sword but he grabbed his wrists with one hand and stopped his sword mid-motion, Dante tried shooting them with his pistols but the bullets bounced off, "Ooh, I guess it's sword time." Dante commented, and he slid across the ground while holding his sword out and stabbed one invader in his abdomen, he screamed but Dante looked up when he saw his abdomen heal and push his sword out, he punched Dante away but he landed on his feet. Harvey, Nick, and Lance tried to round up the twenty four invaders but they grunted since they were heavy and resisting their psychic powers. Hulk grew even bigger and punched the invaders into the water and it fell everywhere, "Wait, let's see if they reemerge." Volvox spoke, and they waited. The twenty four Hulk invaders jumped out of the water and high into the sky, Godzilla fired his atomic breath while Mothra fired a beam at them, they grunted while they fell onto the ground, they stood up and continued running to them, Godzilla shot his red spiral heat ray out while Volvox shot nine more hellfire blasts out and Mothra shot another beam out of her antennae, the twenty four invaders screamed and got obliterated. Everybody looked at the injured natives and the humans began tending to their wounds, Twilight Sparkle appeared in the sky and flew to them, "We saw what happened, what were those guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "People during apocalypse were shot with and given injections of gamma radiation from Hulk's body, after apocalypse was over, people mutated with Hulk's powers formed gangs and began attacking everybody and stealing everything, they believe Hulk's powers makes them invincible, they also believe they are superior to Hulk even though they do not get stronger with anger like Hulk does, they wish to kill Hulk for that reason." Hulk explained, "What? That's awful, they should use their powers to help others, not harm them." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "That's pretty rare in our world, people with powers like Volvox and the others here like to think they can do whatever they want." Tom replied, "They shouldn't, I can see from you guys that people need help in your world, and it's already bad enough from what I've seen." Twilight Sparkle said, "Speaking of help, do you have any healing spells?" Orchid questioned, "Oh, yes, I do, I'm coming." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she flew to the injured people and cast a healing spell on them, "There, you all are healed, Princess Luna will attend to your dreams if you all have nightmares. And Hulk, if possible, I would like to examine your powers and see your full capabilities." Twilight Sparkle said, "Hulk's capabilities is unlimited." Hulk reminded, "Well, can you at least try to control it? Having you go bad and on a rampage would be scary." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Hulk will try." Hulk spoke, Twilight Sparkle smiled and disappeared, "Ha, like Hulk will calm down, calm Hulk is weak Hulk." Hulk declared, "Well, let's just get on with our days, and keep an eye out for the Thing." Tom stated, and everything returned to normal. Five days passed and everything went on peacefully and the Thing did not reappear yet, a new big land appeared to the southeast and everybody looked at it, they saw several skulls around the rocks and everybody's attentions were caught, "Don't connect it, Volvox, it's the home of a Yautja hunting group, they might be nearby." a man said, everybody looked at the skulls and saw human, vampire, werewolf, troll, ghoul, goblin, elf, fairy, orc, dwarf, ogre, cyclops, giant, dragon, Xenomorph, Necromorph, Archvile, Marauder, Pinkie, Baron of Hell, Hell Knight, Malefactor, Deadite, Dremora, and Harvester skulls alongside Terminator heads, "Any invisible people nearby?" Dutch asked, "Yeah, there's several right in front of us." Nick replied, the Yautja deactivated their cloaking devices and revealed themselves while the other countries exclaimed with surprise, "Lower your weapons, they don't attack the defenseless or those who can't fight back." Tom instructed, and everybody did. The Yautja scanned everybody and they recognized Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Ripley, Dwayne, Dutch, John, MacReady, Ash, Godzilla, Anguirus, Mothra, Rodan, Guts, Dante, Snake, Isaac, Torque, Sebastian, Amaterasu, and Hulk, two blades protruded from the Yautjas' left wrists and they roared at them through their helmets, "Get the kids out of here!" Tom ordered, and Kirsty led all of the kids away. The Yautja jumped over the water and landed on the land, they arrived and took their spears out and they extended. The humans fired their weapons and the Yautja ran around and got close, they began attacking everybody with their spears and Godzilla shot his atomic breath at them, one Yautja threw its spear at him and Godzilla swatted it out of the air and broke it. Sebastian shot shock bolts at the Yautja near him and they screeched when they got electrocuted and stuck in place, Volvox shot hellfire blasts at them and obliterated them, the Yautja threw their spears at him and he smacked them away while they bounced off of Anguirus. Guts and Dante had trouble using their weapons since their long-range weapons did no damage to their armor while their swords could not cut through them, a Yautja in front of Guts tried to stab its wrist blades into Guts' armor but he blocked it with his sword and then shot the Yautja in its face with his arm cannon. He looked and saw the Yautja's helmet was undamaged, he activated his Berserker Armor and fought the Yautja. Isaac and Sebastian fire their weapons at the Yautja but they did little to no damage, Isaac threw a stasis module on the Yautja to slow them down and he fired his ripper at them but the saw blades' teeth broke on impact with the Yautja's armor. Sebastian fired his guns but they did nothing to them, so he ran away to Dutch and they shot their bows at them together, they fired explosive bolts at them but they had little effect. Godzilla roared in pain and everybody saw him getting shot at by the Yautja's shoulder-mounted guns, Volvox was also shot and he grunted a little while the projectiles exploded on him, Hulk ran to them and punched them away, the Yautja only slid back a few feet and ran to him. The Yautja shot nets at Hulk and they ensnared him, he roared when they began to tighten and cut his skin, he grew bigger and his skin regenerated and the nets broke, they also shot them at Guts but he cut them with his sword, Dante also cut the nets with his sword. Volvox swayed and dodged most of the shots from their shoulder-mounted guns and he shot hellfire blasts out at them, the Yautja roared in pain and fell back, Harvey shot red projectiles out of his right eye while Nick got knocked down and he shot a cannon out of the bottom of his left foot and Lance punched a few Yautja away. The Terminators walked and fired their guns at the Yautja but most of them got destroyed easily. Dante blocked one Yautja who tried to attack him with a disc shaped weapon with his sword and they entered a deadlock, the Yautja began to overpower him easily and he activated his devil trigger to be in a stalemate, Torque changed to the Creature and tried slashing them with his bladed arm, they roared when he cut them. Godzilla and Anguirus tried to stomp on the Yautja but stopped when they saw they had their spears pointed up and ready to stab them, Dommiel and Tom got pinned down and they tried to fight back but could not, "Where is Doom Slayer?" one Yautja asked in a very deep male voice, "You all wish to hunt the Doom Slayer?" Tom questioned, "Correct." the Yautja responded, "He's not here, and we don't know where he is." Dommiel replied, the Yautja looked at one another and Volvox shot red electricity out of the tip of his tail and the Yautja fell over, one Yautja jumped up to him and Volvox swatted him away with his tail. One Yautja roared loudly and fell and bled profusely, they looked and saw a berserk Guts walking to him while panting heavily and decapitated the Yautja. Guts changed back to normal while panting, "These guys are as strong as Apostles." Guts stated while commenting, he heard walking and saw the other Yautja come, they surrounded him and bowed to him and stood up, "Doom Slayer is not here." a Yautja commented, and they picked up their dead comrade and went back to their land while the other countries murmured with confusion. Volvox kept the Yautja's land separated from them while everybody recovered, "I can clearly tell by watching the natives here they don't understand the Yautja's ways." Dutch said, "Then again, probably no non-Yautja does." John responded, "I'll keep them separated from us, hopefully that will prevent some attacks from them in the future." Volvox spoke, and everybody rested. Another land appeared to the south and Volvox moved it forward slowly and saw the buildings were destroyed, Harvey, Nick, and Lance scanned it thoroughly, "I'm picking some strange objects on the inside of the buildings." Lance reported, Volvox moved up the buildings with his telekinesis and saw egg sacs, "Oh, God, those are Xenomorph eggs! We have to burn them!" Ripley stated, Volvox shot hellfire blasts at the land and destroyed it, some of the egg sacs floated in the water and he gathered them with his telekinesis and brought them to the land and Tom, the Count of Saint Germain, Ripley, Dwayne, Dutch, John, MacReady, Snake, Isaac, and Torque burned them with flamethrowers while Amaterasu painted a symbol to make fire appear. They finished burning the egg sacs while Fluttershy watched with shock and horror, Volvox looked at the Yautja and moved up their surroundings with his telekinesis, they heard roaring and fully grown Xenomorphs came from under the ground, "I should've guessed." Volvox remarked, everybody got ready to fight the Xenomorphs but the Yautja took them down quickly, the rest of the day went on with everybody watching the Yautja carefully and uncomfortably. The next day arrived and a big land appeared to the south and everything was destroyed, Volvox moved it forward and stopped when he heard walking, roars came from the place and hundreds of Xenomorphs came out of hiding and ran to them while swimming across the waters, "Xenomorphs! Keep your distance from them, kids, their blood is acidic!" a man spoke, Volvox shot many hellfire beams at them but the Xenomorphs strafed around and dodged them. Everybody began shooting at them but the Xenomorphs kept coming forward and everybody backed away from them, another land appeared to the west and connected to theirs and Necromorphs were on it, they roared and ran to attack the people. Isaac threw stasis modules on them and fired his weapons at the many Necromorphs but he soon ran out of ammo, Sebastian stopped firing and saw a human with the Necromorphs and recognized him, "Leslie!" Sebastian hollered, he walked to him calmly and through the radiated area, "You okay, Leslie?" Sebastian asked, but Leslie soon grabbed his neck and held him up, "Leslie is gone, Seb." Leslie said in a deep voice, Sebastian realized it was Ruvik, he floated up and Amaterasu drew another symbol with her tail and made fire appear, Ruvik screamed while he let go of Sebastian, he growled while Amaterasu beared her teeth at him. Ruvik changed the scenery with his powers and made the dragons from the humans' world appear, they roared and flew in the sky and began shooting fire and ice breaths everywhere, a big red worm-like Malefactor then burst out of the ground and roared, more humans appeared and they recognized Guts and turned into iguana-like Apostles, and Archviles and Maurauders appeared. Everybody fought to defend their land and some of the dragons went to go attack the Dragon Lands, the Malefactor put its mouth on the ground and made Malefactors with black smoke around them appear. Torque fired his guns at the nearby Necromorphs and soon turned into the Creature and destroyed the Malefactors with black smoke around them, Godzilla then fired his atomic breath at the big red Malefactor but it stood its ground, it tried to slash Godzilla with its right mandible and Godzilla crouched to dodge it, he then picked up Anguirus and threw him, the Malefactor screamed when Anguirus rammed it with his back. Guts tried slashing the Apostles with his sword and they kept coming like nothing happened, one tried to bite him with his serrated teeth and he stabbed his sword into his mouth and did minimal damage. Dante had trouble against the Archviles and Marauders since they were different from his usual demons, Dante tried shooting them and the Marauders blocked it with their shields and summoned wolves, Dante saw an opening and a Marauder's eyes glowed, he shot him with his pistols and he grunted in pain when Xenomorph blood came out and got on his clothes, he quickly took his shirt and coat off. The Archviles had shields of fire around them and teleported around while summoning Dread Knights, Fireborne Barons, Tyrants, Pinkies, and Carcesses and reviving the dead Xenomorphs and Necromorphs. The chaos caused black mist to appear in the sky and Alduin formed while Volvox's eyes' widened, "I have returned, and what is this? An inferior breed of dragons, they are not worthy of living." Alduin remarked, and he flew to go attack the Dragon Lands. Sebastian heard Leslie screaming and saw him running to the south of the land, "Leslie!" Sebastian called out as he ran to him, but the southern part of the land changed to the interior of a factory and many creatures from Ruvik's mind appeared. Sebastian fired his weapons and punched them with his brass knuckle to make their heads explode, Dutch ran over and fired a flamethrower to burn them, all of Ruvik's monsters screamed as they got destroyed and another wave appeared, Volvox shot hellfire blasts between them and lit the ground on fire. Harvey turned on the screen and contacted the UAC, Samuel Hayden appeared on the screen, "What is it? This isn't a good time, we're being attacked by King Ghidorah." Samuel said, "We need the Doom Slayer, we got a Xenomorph and Necromorph infestation." Volvox spoke, they heard running and saw the Doom Slayer running and holding his sawed-off double-barreled shotgun, he entered a pod and it shot down, "Sir! King Ghidorah's about to fire at us!" a man offscreen said, King Ghidorah roared and Samuel looked behind himself, bright yellow appeared behind himself and static appeared on the screen. Everybody continued fighting and a twinkle in the sky appeared, a pod with fire around it appeared and it put a crater in the ground, it opened and the Doom Slayer came out, he ran into battle and began shooting the demons, Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, Yautja, demons, and Apostles with his double-barreled shotgun, he went after the Archviles and dashed through the land, the Archviles teleported around and away from the Doom Slayer and he kept chasing them, the other demons and Necromorphs surrounded him and he sent them all flying away with one punch and the Necromorphs' limbs and heads flew off. The Archviles began reviving them and summoning more demons, Amaterasu painted with her tail and summoned icicles falling from the sky to freeze the Archviles and Dante shot bullets into their foreheads, more of them teleported around and Volvox held them up with his telekinesis and the Yautja fired their shoulder-mounted guns at them, they got blown apart and everybody backed away while Xenomorph blood fell out of them. Everybody saw another twinkle in the sky and the UAC space station began to come down with fire around it, Volvox grabbed it with his telekinesis and lowered it, Samuel and the others came out, "So this is the new land." Samuel commented and he saw the many creatures, the other UAC members quickly ran back into the space station, Samuel heard the Marauders' wolves howling and coming to him, Torque shot them and they disappeared. The attackers all got lined up and the Doom Slayer took out his BFG 9000, everybody backed away while the Doom Slayer aimed it. The BFG 9000 charged up in one second and it fired, the green orb flew across the land and green streams of electricity came out and attacked anyone nearby, the Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, Malefactors, Dread Knights, Pinkies, Carcasses, and Ruvik's monsters got obliterated while the Yautja, Apostles, big red worm-like Malefactor, Fireborne Barons, Tyrants, Archviles, and Marauders survived it. The Archviles began summoning more demons and used their magic on the Marauders and they had a red aura around them and they became faster, stronger, and more durable. The Marauders moved at high speeds and attacked faster and were more harmful, Dante activated his devil trigger while Guts activated his Berserk Armor to keep up with them, the Archviles then began sending waves of fire forward and Ruvik changed the ground to a sewer floor with exploding booby traps and spining saw blades moving across the floor. Sebastian ran after Leslie but he teleported around and changed the scenery again, he heard Leslie screaming and saw him running away while a creature holding a meat tenderizer and with a safe for its head chasing him, Sebastian ran after him but more of Ruvik's monsters appeared and they began firing sniper rifles and rocket launchers at him. Yellow electricity then appeared from the sky and shocked the entire world, King Ghidorah flew down with lightning bolts coming out of his wings, "So that fool Ghidorah is alive, I bet he's here to try to usurp me again." Alduin said as he watched King Ghidorah fly to go fight Godzilla. Godzilla fired his atomic breath at King Ghidorah and his scales protected him, he flapped his wings and created extremely powerful gusts of wind that blew everybody except Volvox, Godzilla, Anguirus, Mothra, and Rodan away, the unicorns in Equestria grabbed them with their telekinesis. The Doom Slayer landed on his feet and fired his BFG 9000, the Fireborne Barons got destroyed while the Archviles and Marauders survived, Torque changed into the Creature and more roaring was heard at the southwest, the Thing came out of the water and fish mutated by the Thing walked onto the land while the hippogriffs and seaponies exclaimed with horror and cried. MacReady fired his flamethrower at them and the Thing screeched and ran away, infighting began and everybody saw a battle between Xenomorphs, Yautja, Terminators, the Thing, and Necromorphs going on. The big red worm-like Malefactor dropped down and put more black smoke Malefactors on the ground, Torque turned into the Creature and his body parts moved away from him with a blue light appearing, the Malefactors covered their eyes' while Torque's Creature form reverted back to normal, he held his arms out and he turned into the blue light and Volvox quickly used his telekinesis to move his allies away while every human sized creature exploded except for the Marauders. Torque's Creature form reverted back to normal and Ruvik used his powers to summon more Archviles into the place, King Ghidorah then shot his gravity beams at the Doom Slayer and he ran and strafed around. Hulk then began punching King Ghidorah's right leg and his three heads looked at him, Hulk continued punching him in his leg but it had no effect, King Ghidorah lifted his leg up and stomped on Hulk and pinned him down. King Ghidorah then shot lightning beams out of his three mouths while Volvox shot hellfire blasts out of his three mouths and they enetered a deadlock, Godzilla then shot his atomic breath at King Ghidorah and his scales protected him, Mothra shot a beam out of her antennae and his scales protected him from it. King Ghidorah began to tumble and lose balance when Hulk grew bigger and began to lift his leg off of himself, King Ghidorah fell over and Volvox, Godzilla, and Anguirus began stomping on his heads. Sebastian and Snake went after Leslie and they shot at Ruvik's monsters, he changed the area to a kitchen with spinning saw blades moving on the floor and fire everywhere. Sebastian and Snake shot and destroyed the moving saw blades with shotguns and ran after Leslie, they stopped when they heard screeching and saw a faceless hooded figure appear and made hands appear out of the ground, "Run! We'll be dragged to our deaths if it catches us!" Sebastian said, and he and Snake ran back while Volvox shot hellfire blasts at Ruvik's monsters and burned all of them, Ruvik made more appear and Orchid shot fire out of her ring fingers at them while Harvey, Nick, and Lance punched them away. Guts took down the iguana Apostles and ran after Ruvik while the giant red worm-like Malefactor bent down and swallowed Guts, everybody looked on with shock until the Malefactor screeched in pain and Guts cut it apart from the inside, he jumped out of its mouth and landed while the Malefactor fell into the water. Ash remained in his Deadite form and shot everything with his boomstick and made Ruvik's monsters explode, the creature with the safe for its head attacked him and Ash blocked its meat tenderizer with his chainsaw and shot the creature with his boomstick in its body, the safe for its head opened and its contents spilled out while its body disappeared and the safe remained, he then ran after Ruvik. Ruvik changed the scenery again to a room with big spinning blades around and Leslie screamed as he got trapped between them, "Hang on, Leslie!" Sebastian hollered, he looked for a way to get through the blades until Isaac threw a stasis module to slow down the spinning blades, Sebastian ran through them and grabbed Leslie, "It's okay, Leslie, I'm here." Sebastian said, he grunted and Leslie screamed while Ruvik appeared out of Leslie and strangled them, "Leslie belongs to me." Ruvik said, and he then floated up and the unicorns shot beams at him, he got distracted and Volvox shot hellfire beams out of his eyes and Ruvik panicked as he caught on fire and dropped Sebastian and Leslie. Alduin continued leading the attack on the Dragon Lands and Princess Ember struggled fighting against him, King Ghidorah's attention got caught and he stood up and flew to go attack the Dragon Lands, Alduin then summoned meteors and they fell onto the Dragon Lands, "Pathetic breeds of dragons, you give us all a bad name." Alduin remarked, Dragon Lord Torch shot big fire breaths at him and Alduin resisted the fire, he breathed fire everywhere on the Dragon Lands while King Ghidorah began summoning strong gusts of wind to destroy the country alongside shooting lightning beams out of his three mouths and wings. Dragon Lord Torch shot more fire at King Ghidorah and his scales protected him, he shot lightning beams out and he and Dragon Lord Torch enetered a deadlock, Godzilla's spines glowed red and he shot his red spiral heat ray at King Ghidorah from behind, he roared and winced in pain and fell over, Dragon Lord Torch shot more fire at King Ghidorah's wings and he screeched and got ready to fly away, but Volvox shot hellfire blasts at him and blew all three of his heads off and he fell into the water. Dommiel flew to fight Alduin and he shot shadow blasts at him, Alduin was unaffected and he then did a shout to force the Dragon Lands' dragons, Spike, and Smolder to serve him, "Bend to my will, weaklings." Alduin said, and they all flew all around the world and attacked the other countries. Twilight Sparkle quickly began trying to cast a spell to break Alduin's hold on them, Spike began attacking her and she exclaimed, "I... I'm sorry, Twilight, b... but I can't control myself." Spike stated, and he breathed fire at her while she put up a shield. Dommiel continued fighting Alduin and tried punching and kicking him and his scales protected him, Rodan summoned gusts of wind by flapping his wings and tried to make Alduin fall while Phoenix and Thunderbird shot fire and lightning at him and Orchid used her fire, water, earth, wind, and lightning magic on him, "Nothing's working." Orchid remarked, several humans got their rocket launchers and fired them at Alduin while he flew around the world and started destroying everything. Equestria put a shield up and Alduin summoned meteors to fall on it while he breathed fire on it and onto the other countries, Dommiel changed into a formless shadow and floated to Alduin and restrained him, "Volvox, now." Dommiel said in a gurgled voice, and Volvox shot hellfire blasts at Alduin from behind from his eyes, mouths, tips of his front toes, and balls of his front feet, red lightning from the tip of his tail, and the threw the razor-sharp seven-pointed stars on his spine at him, Alduin roared and he flew to go fight Volvox while Phoenix, Thunderbird, Godzilla, Anguirus, Mothra, and Rodan joined him. Alduin shot fire and ice out of his mouth together while he made Dragon Lord Torch fly to help him, he tried resisting Alduin's will while breathing fire at Volvox and the others, they endured it and Volvox, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Godzilla, and Mothra shot their long-ranged attacks at Alduin together while Dommiel continued restraining him, Dutch and John then fired rocket launchers at Alduin and he roared. Volvox heard beeping and noticed several Yautja being overwhelmed by the Xenomorphs, Terminators, the Thing and its creatures, and Necromorphs, Volvox used his telekinesis to take that part of the land off and put it on Alduin's back, everybody backed away while Dommiel changed back to normal and flew away, the piece of land let out a big explosion while the Xenomorphs, Yautja, Terminators, the Thing, and Necromorphs got destroyed and Alduin got blown up with it, he turned pitch black and said something in a foreign language while his form destroyed and he disappeared into the sky. The dragons regained control of themselves and they panted while everybody focused on Ruvik, everything floated in the air while he entered into a big creature and attacked the entire world while Leslie screamed and tried to get away from him, the humans fired rocket launchers at him while Volvox, Godzilla, and Mothra fired blasts and beams at him, Ruvik's creature began smashing everything it touched, Dante and Guts jumped and flew up to it and attacked the form while Sebastian floated through the air and fired his guns at Ruvik, the Pegasi, dragons, griffons, changelings, and hippogriffs flew up and tried to get Leslie but Ruvik made the environments Leslie has been through appear, Leslie screamed while everybody saw fire, spikes, barbed wire traps, tripwire explosives, and spinning blades everywhere, they also saw images of Leslie running away and panicking while the many of Ruvik's monsters chased him, the world's natives stopped and looked on in horror at Leslie's experiences. The Doom Slayer continued fighting the Archviles and Marauders and Hulk ran to them and punched and kicked them down and the Doom Slayer took them down, he saw Ruvik's monsters up ahead and he ran forward, he began firing his guns, using grenades and frost grenades, a blade on his left forearm, a flamethrower on his left shoulder, a chainsaw, a red hammer, and his punches to take them down, he moved nonstop and Ruvik's monsters fell quickly, Twilight Sparkle's jaw dropped at seeing the Doom Slayer in action. Ruvik began to float away while holding Leslie and Hulk ran extremely fast and jumped into the air and punched Ruvik's vessel, it fell over and Hulk grabbed Leslie as they fell, he landed and put another crater in the ground. Ruvik appeared on the ground and walked towards Leslie, he panicked and ran away while Ruvik teleported to him, Torque ran to him while in his Creature form and slashed Ruvik with his bladed arm while grunting, he fell over and disappeared, he reappeared behind Leslie and got ready to touch Leslie's head, Torque quickly ran to him and slashed him again. Ruvik reappeared again and Torque tried to slash him but he dodged it and teleported onto Torque and began strangling him, Godzilla shot his red spiral heat ray at Ruvik and he snarled while he caught on fire. Ruvik glared at everyone and Sebastian shot him from behind with his shotgun, he fell over and tried to teleport away again, "No!" Princess Luna hollered as she cast a spell on him to restrain him, and she arrived alongside Princess Celestia, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, the Mane Six, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Sunburst, and the Pillars of Equestria, "You repulsive man!" Rarity exclaimed, Ruvik looked at them and Sebastian turned them away, "Don't look into his eyes!" Sebastian ordered, Ruvik panted heavily while scowling. Leslie began to cry and Hulk changed back to Bruce, "Leslie? Leslie. It's alright, look around you, you're safe now." Bruce said, Leslie looked up and saw everybody around him, "Sebastian." Leslie called out and clinged to his leg, "He looks so young." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Twenty five, but he has the mentality of a toddler." Sebastian responded, the Mane Six gasped while Leslie crawled to them and Twilight Sparkle hugged him, "Oh, Leslie, you poor, poor boy, stuck in that place of horrors for who knows how long, I promise you you'll be safe and sound here." Twilight Sparkle stated, Ruvik growled and got ready to teleport but a microwave beam appeared on him and he screamed until he exploded, everybody looked and saw the Doom Slayer holding a plasma rifle, the hostile dragons then came back as ghosts and everybody quickly used the microwave beams on them to destroy them, "There, okay, I think we're safe now." Bruce stated, "You're Bruce, right?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, I'm Dr. Banner, I'm a scientist and specialize in nuclear physics, I'm a medical doctor, too." Bruce replied, "Wow, ya behave nothin' like yer other self." Applejack commented, "Yeah, Hulk and I are basically two completely different people, I basically have split personality." Bruce answered, "Do you plan to help the UAC develop weapons to fight the invaders again, Dr. Banner?" Samuel questioned, "Not right now." Bruce replied, "How did you become that way?" Princess Celestia inquired, "I was dying of stage four brain cancer that couldn't be cured, so I had parts of my brain transferred into this robotic body of mine." Samuel explained, "And the Doom Slayer?" Princess Luna asked, "I empowered him to how he is now, he'll be put to rest after all of the demons except Dommiel and Dante are dead, but until then, his fight is eternal." Samuel answered, "Whoa there, I wouldn't mind fighting those guys every now and then, but for eternity and that is all there is to your life? No thanks." Rainbow Dash said, "If you all are done, do you all have any magic to change our land back to normal?" Orchid asked, and Twilight Sparkle did, "You all are welcome to live in Equestria if you wish since I have noticed you all struggling to survive and grow food, we can establish relationships and do trade if you all wish." Princess Celestia suggested, "Wait, about that, look around you, we don't have any goods to give." Tom reminded, "That's quite alright, maybe when you revert back to how your lives used to be, then we can start doing trade and develop a friendship between our countries." Princess Celestia spoke, "I'll think about it." Tom remarked, "Alright then, well, let's go back, everypony, and good luck to you all." Princess Celestia said, and their visitors left. Tom thought about Princess Celestia's offer while some of the humans walked to him, "Chief Tom, I think it would be best if we do migrate to their country since we're having a hard time surviving here, and their country is reminiscent of Earth before the apocalypse, we'd like to live in their country if that's alright with you." a man spoke, "Go ahead, make sure you all come back to help us fight if more hostile invaders arrive." Tom said, and Volvox put them in Equestria with his telekinesis. Two weeks passed and the humans adapted to living in Equestria and a few worked in Sweet Apple Acres and picked apples, "No, no, no, not that way, y'all, like this." Applejack spoke, and she bucked a tree and made the apples fall, the kids tried kicking the trees but the apples did not fall, "We gotta work on y'all's skills and techniques." Applejack said, Hulk ran and grunted while he kicked a tree, the roots came out and the tree flew through the air, "Whoa there, Hulk! You kicked it too hard there, Ah hope nopony gets hurt wherever that tree lands." Applejack said, Fluttershy was in her home and reading to her animals, everything was peaceful until an apple tree fell through her house's roof and inside, she jumped back while shrieking and looked at the apple tree and her broken roof with shock. "Ya gotta control that strength of yours, Hulk, see how mah big brother Big Mac does it?" Applejack asked, they watched Big Macintosh tap his hoof on an apple tree and all of the apples fell, "See, nice, clean kick, Ah believe ya can learn some things from him, ain't that right, Big Mac?" Applejack asked, "Eeyup." Big Macintosh answered, "Well, back to work, y'all." Applejack said, and they did. The Doom Slayer was at Fluttershy's sanctuary one day and he looked at the animals, "Oh, hello there, um... are you looking for a pet?" Fluttershy asked, the Doom Slayer shook his head and walked around, he stopped and froze in place when he saw rabbits hopping around, he looked at the rabbits and had a sorrowful expression under his visor, "Um... Mr. Slayer, are you okay?" Fluttershy questioned, the Doom Slayer just looked at her for a second and walked away. Fluttershy continued with her day and she heard another visitor coming, she went outside and saw Snake, "Oh, um... hi, Snake, would you like a pet?" Fluttershy asked, "No, I'm fine, I'm just looking around, place brings back memories a bit, I was raising some sled dogs before the apocalypse happened." Snake answered, "Oh, that's wonderful, I can give you some dogs if you wanna get started again." Fluttershy stated, "No, it's fine, I might just live here in peace for now, I'm getting too old for fighting." Snake said, "Oh, hope you like it here, and hope I'll see you again." Fluttershy replied, and she flew away while Snake looked at the animals with a smile and walked away. The humans adapted to living in Equestria and some of the kids began attending the School of Friendship with Nick's and Lance's mutated features catching everybody's attentions and Tom, the Count of Saint Germain, Ripley, Newt, Dwayne, Dutch, John, MacReady, Kirsty, Ash, Guts, Dante, Snake, Isaac, Torque, Sebastian, Leslie, Bruce, Hulk, and the Doom Slayer received counseling from Starlight Glimmer alongside several others, the Doom Slayer got up to leave, "Wait, Doom Slayer." Starlight Glimmer said, he turned around and faced her, "Spike got a message from Princess Celestia for you earlier today, she said keep a very close eye on Samuel Hayden, she said she's getting a bad feeling about him and she thinks he's hiding something." Starlight Glimmer warned, the Doom Slayer then left the room. Bruce was called into the school one day to talk about other cultures and the students listened with shock and confusion while being completely unable to understand and comprehend Cenobite, Yautja, and Daedra cultures. Everybody lived peacefully and new lands continued to appear and Volvox connected them to their land and Bishop and the Terminators checked for any survivors and radiation, more demons, Daedra, Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, and human robbers and looters appeared every now and then but they got destroyed quickly and easily while the humans helped the other countries develop countermeasures against their world's threats, everybody lived in peace and the humans eventually began migrating to the other countries while they continued to survive and regrow in the new world. Conqueror (Humans)Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.Conqueror (Monsters)Volvox was the very first being created on Earth by the Maker and the gods, he was ageless and already an adult when he was created, the Maker and gods were surprised by how he turned out, he was a three thousand feet tall, three hundred fifty feet wide, three hundred feet long creature with three heads with the back of his heads shaped like semicircles and the front shaped like two back-to-back right triangles, he did not have any ears or noses, his four eyes were slanted and monochromatic and did not have any pupils or irises and were on the sides of his head. The right half of his body and right head were gray and skeletal with black holes in place of his eyes and white teeth, the five claws on his right front foot and right hind foot were also made of gray bones. The left half of his body and his left head were pitch black like a shadow, the head's eyes and teeth and five claws on his left front foot and left hind foot were red. His center head, spine, and tail were pink and made out of a parasitic-like skin, his spine had yellow seven pointed star-like organic matters growing on him and each tip was sharp, the tip of his tail was yellow and shaped like a spear's tip with sharp tips on the back corners, and the center head's eyes and teeth, the seven-pointed organic stars, and his tail's tip were yellow. Volvox conversed with the Maker and gods and got to know the other gods, they were Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Amun, Ra, Odin, Vishnu, Bishamonten, and Huitzilopochtli, he watched them create more beings and dragons and dinosaurs were the next things created. Volvox taught them about their origins and creations and they bowed to him, he examined each species carefully and saw they were not equal, the gods decided they were too weak and changed Earth to a dangerous environment, everybody struggled to survive and the dead creatures' souls got taken by Hades, Osiris, and Anubis, Volvox followed them and watched the souls get judged, the Maker then granted Volvox various powers. He tried them and saw he now had control over hellfire and shot them out of his mouths, eyes, balls of his front feet, and tips of his front feet's claws, he can also shoot red electricity out of his tail's tip, he tried more things and discovered he also had telekinesis with each head, he grow and shrink in size at will, and he can stretch his neck out and burrow them underground. Volvox trained and honed his fighting skills and powers while also defending himself and watching the dragons and dinosaurs struggle to survive, the gods added more flora and fauna and it made Earth even more dangerous, they then began controlling the temperatures and weather to see which species will die and which will survive. Volvox survived on his own while also watching the other species' survive, each creature was divided and eventually, every creature was strong enough to survive the harsh environment, the creatures then began fighting and killing one another while Volvox killed all of his attackers easily. The gods were satisfied with their now powerful creatures and directed them telepathically while making Volvox the planet's ruler and gave him the ability to be sentient and speak, the gods and underworld's natives then sent angels and demons to Earth, "Come, my brethren, we got new enemies to fight, the gods have sent them to help us continue getting stronger, let us begin conquering them." Volvox said, and they charged forward. The angels and demons took down the dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals easily, "Withdraw!" Volvox ordered, and they did. Volvox watched the angels and demons conquer Earth while also slaughtering any flora and fauna they found, "Perhaps we can help." a deep male voice said in the sky, Volvox looked up and saw a black swirling mass in the sky and they formed into nine scary looking beings, "We can grant you a distraction to help you take out the angels and demons, but in exchange, the beings we create must roam and terrorize the Earth." the being in the center spoke, "Who are you guys?" Volvox asked, "We are the Outer Gods, I am Nyarlathotep, me and these eight here are the gods of the other planets." the being stated, "I am Shub-Niggurath, mother of a thousand young, it is I who will create the creatures that will roam the Earth." a female being stated, "I am Cxaxukluth, I will make the demons hungry and distracted." a male being spoke, "I am Daoloth, the all-seer, I have seen your future, Volvox, much later from now, you will be leading us and a group of various creatures against bipedal creatures called humans in a land full of colorful horses." another male being said, "Colorful horses, you say? I suppose it wouldn't be the strangest thing to witness." Volvox commented, "Still, do not underestimate them because they are cute looking and their world is all sunshine and rainbows." Daoloth reminded, "I am Yog-Sothoth, you cannot hide any secrets from me, I see all of existence, past, present, and future." a being made of glowing spheres stated with a deep male voice, "I am Tulzscha, I can induce madness upon your enemies with a certain ritual." the pillar of green fire said in an androgynous voice, "I am Yibb-Tstll, I shall cover your enemies' homes in black snowflakes." a grotesque being in a green cloak spoke with a deep female voice, "I am Ghroth, my presence shall destroy your enemies' planets." a being as big and shaped like a moon with an eyeball said in a deep voice, "I am Azathoth, I am the leader of the Outer Gods, I will help you at the time when you fight the humans." a big and blurry being with an abstract appearance in the sky said with a deep male voice, "Well, thanks, I'll take your offer, the dragons, dinosaurs, cats, dogs, bugs, and everything else are going to die at this rate." Volvox remarked, "Very well, we will distract the angels and demons, and our monsters will roam the Earth, you will have to defeat them in combat if you wish to command them." Azathoth responded, and they began moving around the sky and the angels and demons went insane while natural disasters occurred, "Everybody, now! Attack!" Volvox ordered, and they did and took down the angels and demons. Many monsters appeared all over the world on the land, in the sky, and in the sea, the gods and more angels and demons appeared, "What's going on?" Odin questioned, "I made a deal with nine gods called the Outer Gods, let them create creatures to roam the Earth in exchange for gaining an advantage over the angels and demons." Volvox explained, "What? Volvox, the Outer Gods are controlling what kinds of life gets controlled throughout the universe, we made a deal for them to leave this planet alone and let us make creatures as we see fit, you messed up this planet's progress." Vishnu explained, "Sorry, but they left that part out." Volvox responded, "It is alright." a male and female voice spoke together while the clouds spun and the Maker conversed, "The Earth can still develop, these monsters the Outer Gods have created will give us the chance to make our own creations grow stronger through battle and intelligence, let us take advantage of it." the Maker continued, the others agreed and the clouds stopped spinning. Volvox and the others began fighting the new creatures but arrived at a stalemate, so the angels and demons formed an alliance with the dragons, dinosaurs, and prehistoric animals, Volvox got know and befriend a demon named Dommiel, they fought and won against the new creatures and all of them joined with the opposing team with Volvox ruling over them with Dommiel as his second-in-command and a dragon named Tom as his third-in-command and frontline commander, Volvox barely restrained his laughter at how simple Tom's name was, he also befriended a muscular ghoul named Giovi who had his claws severed and replaced with knife blades. Centuries passed and the other creatures were all living peacefully until a new species appeared on Earth one day, "What are these?" Dommiel asked, everybody looked at the new bipedal male and female creatures of various skin, hair, and eye colors and noticed they looked similar to the vampires, various nymphs, swan maidens in their humanoid forms, and some of the ghosts and zombies, "Maker, did you make these?" Tom asked, the clouds spun and formed a circle in the sky, "No, they're most likely a byproduct of either our creations or those Outer Gods, I just spoke with them and they said they didn't create them, I'll keep them here for now, they seem to be another primitive group of animals." the Maker stated and the clouds stopped spinning. Centuries passed and the creatures began calling themselves humans, they began developing and began hunting and living off the land, they eventually developed various civilizations while remaining friendly and welcoming to Volvox and his subjects. The humans have tried to coexist peacefully with the other creatures but they considered them outsiders and began attacking and destroying their civilizations, the humans struggled to fight against Volvox and his many monsters alongside the prehistoric animals, angels, demons, and angry gods, some humans tried to offer peace offerings or make deals to live together but Volvox killed all of them. The human civilizations and settlements got destroyed quickly while Volvox led all of the non-human creatures while partaking in the battles himself, some of the creatures ended up opening rifts that sent parts of Earth to another dimension. The ponies of Equestria and the other creatures were having a peaceful day until they sensed a disturbance to the east of the Bone Dry Desert, a land appeared in the waters and they looked on with shock while some creatures gasped, "What the...?" Applejack asked, every house and building was destroyed and burnt black with pieces laying everywhere and with no signs of life, "Come on, girls, let's go see if anyone's there." Twilight Sparkle said, and the Mane Six and Spike went into her hot air balloon. They arrived at the land and looked on in shock at seeing the destruction, they landed and got out of the hot air balloon, "Hello? Is anybody here?" Twilight Sparkle called out, there was no response, she and Rarity picked up the debris with their telekinesis, "My, there's no one here." Rarity stated, "What could've happened?" Applejack questioned, "It looks like some creature or an army came through here and destroyed everything." Rainbow Dash deduced, "Rainbow might be right, I don't think some accident or disaster occurred here, someone or something probably destroyed this place and slaughtered everyone in the process." Twilight Sparkle stated, "You think this could be just like when the Storm King attacked us?" Pinkie Pie asked, "No, Pinkie Pie, this looks even worse, whoever did this likely isn't taking any prisoners." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I hope the animals and pets made it out okay." Fluttershy stated, "Hate to break it to ya, Fluttershy, but I'm not seeing any signs of pets being kept here." Spike replied, "So, what do we do with this place?" Rainbow Dash asked, "There's probably nothing we can do right now, let's wait and see if more lands appear." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they went back to the hot air balloon and went back to Equestria. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were on Canterlot's balcony and looking at the new land in disbelief, "I'm getting a bad feeling about this, sis." Princess Luna said, "So am I, I think something dangerous will be upon our world soon." Princess Celestia stated, "Well, I mean, it won't be the first time our world was in danger." Princess Luna reminded, "True, but this time, I'm sensing the threat is huge, who knows what we will encounter." Princess Celestia responded, and they went back into Canterlot's castle and Princess Luna tended to the dream realm, the foals had nightmares on what could have destroyed the new land and she zapped them away. The next day came and another land appeared between Equestria and Griffonstone, everybody stopped for a minute when they saw the entire land was frozen with lightning on the destroyed settlements, "That land's destroyed, too." Princess Cadance stated, "What could've done this?" Shining Armor asked, "I'm not seeing any clues." Sunburst remarked, "Still, everything's frozen and electrified, how strange, it's almost like they were destroyed by magic." Princess Cadance responded, "I'll go keep an eye on Flurry Heart, call me if you need anything." Shining Armor spoke, and he walked away while Equestria's royal guards searched the new land for any survivors but did not find any. Another piece of land appeared between Equestria and the Dragon Lands and everybody became shocked at seeing many arrows in the ground, the ponies and dragons moved the debris and the creatures gasped and looked away when they saw dead humans shot to trees with many arrows, the Mane Six, royal guards, and dragons went over and looked at them, they took the arrows out and the bodies fell over, "I'm guessing whoever did this didn't like them." Princess Ember spoke, "This doesn't look like it was done by one person, it looks like hundreds of them." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Hey! I found something strange here!" Starlight Glimmer hollered, and everybody went to her. Everybody saw to spears that were in two humans, Twilight Sparkle tried to grab them but exclaimed when yellow electricity appeared, "What the?" Princess Ember asked, "Come on, let's take this to Princess Celestia." Twilight Sparkle said, and the ponies left the land. The Mane Six, Spike, and Starlight Glimmer arrived in Canterlot and gave the spears to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, the yellow electricity reappeared when they got near it, "This confirms their attackers are not primitive beings driven by instinct, this is a magic not from this world either." Princess Celestia stated, "Judging by its appearance and the sense I'm getting, it's light magic, a bit similar to sis' own." Princess Luna added, "Any idea on what could make magic like this?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Well, it is a bit similar to the angels in the old tales of my childhood that used to be read to foals when Luna and I were fillies." Princess Celestia answered, "You think they could be real?" Pinkie Pie squeed, "Maybe, anything's possible, how about you, Pinkie, you picking up anything strange?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "Hmm, well, it's not of this world, and I'm getting a really strange feeling that these spears fell from the sky." Pinkie Pie responded, "Fell from the sky? The creatures who used these must have some form of flight then." Princess Luna deduced, "We'll lock these away for now, let us wait for the next lands to appear and hope there will be life on one of them." Princess Celestia stated, and they parted ways. A few hours passed while everybody wondered where the next land will appear and another appeared to the northeast of Equestria, everybody heard screaming and saw humans running, they looked and saw there were being hunted and attacked by big cats, big dogs, big frogs, and bugs, everybody heard moaning and their attentions got caught when they saw human-like creatures with decaying flesh tied to posts with ropes, "Okay, that's definitely not natural there." Twilight Sparkle commented, another land appeared to Equestria's southeast and they heard more humans screaming, they saw human looking creatures wrapped in bandages casting dark magic and necromancy to summon and control skeletons while some of the skeletons acted under their own will, "So their attackers do have magic." Princess Luna stated, "That's not all, look at the skeletons." Spike responded, and they did, everybody looked on in shock at seeing animated skeletons of various big creatures, dragons, winged humanoids, bipedal humanoids with pointed ears, bipedal humanoids with two big fangs on their lower set of teeth, humanoids short in height but had very wide body frames, humanoids with four fangs, bipedal wolves, tall bipedal creatures with rectangular shaped heads and three eyes, slouched bipedal creatures with sharp teeth, small bipedal creatures, twelve feet tall humanoids, very small humanoids, and tall humanoid figures with one eye, "What in tarnation?" Applejack exclaimed, "Oh, this isn't looking good." Twilight Sparkle quivered, another land appeared to the Bone Dry Desert's east and they saw the humans getting slaughtered by big red, muscular bipedal creatures with horns on their heads, fangs in their mouths, and were wielding black metallic clubs, everything suddenly caught on fire and the world's natives screamed when they saw a wheel with a man's face in its center with fire around it come into view, he rolled around and set everything on fire while also shooting fire out of his mouth, another land appeared very close to Equestria's east and the humans were getting slaughtered by giant pigs, the ground erupted and lava flew up very high, it went down and a huge creature emerged, the humans screamed and ran away while the world's natives looked in horror, the giant creature that blocked out the sun and had a hundred heads. It shot fire into the air out of its one hundred heads and then flapped its wings to create extremely strong gusts that spread the fire far, the ponies quickly put up magic shields around the countries and new lands and the flames still pushed them back. The creature held its hands high up in the sky and volcanic eruptions began on every land with humans on them, he then summoned typhoons, hurricanes, earthquakes, and shot fire and venom out of his hundred mouths and two hundred eyes. The world's natives watched in horror while the giant one hundred headed creature continued causing massive destruction to human settlements, "How are they supposed to fight something like that?!" Rainbow Dash inquired, "That is beyond me, Rainbow, those creatures fighting back don't seem very developed either." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Plus, we have to make new defenses as well, Equestria has never seen such a creature." Princess Celestia added, another land appeared in the waters between Equestra's and the Bone Dry Desert's east and the humans were running away and screaming while they got slaughtered, everybody saw four bipedal skeletal figures in black hooded robes riding horses killing the humans, one was on a white horse and holding a bow, he also had a crown on his head, one was on a red horse and holding a sword, one was on a black horse and holding a set of scales, and one was on a pale horse and holding a scythe, they were joined in by two more creatures on horseback, they were both headless while one was holding an axe while the other was holding a sword, they also heard roaring and snarling and saw a group of hundreds of bipedal creatures with gray skin, sagging flesh, leathery wings, sharp claws and talons, and bird-like facial features fly forward and destroy everything in their path and kill humans, "Oh, this is terrible." Fluttershy quivered, "Come on, let's help 'em." Applejack said, ships appeared in Seaquestria's sea and humans were on them. The humans looked on worriedly and they saw human women standing on the water, a man quickly ordered everybody to defend themselves and the human women on the waters floated in the air and changed to swans, they began pecking and kicking the humans in the ships struggled to throw them off, the waters then rose to very high levels and giant creatures black as shadows with bald heads emerged and groaned loudly. They began slamming their arms down on the ships and destroyed them and the humans drifted in the sea, the seaponies swam and carried them to Mount Aris. One more land appeared to in Equestria's eastern sea and they saw it was frozen over, humans screamed while transparent female humanoid creatures formed in the snow and blew snow everywhere that froze the land, humanoid creatures with white feathered wings flew down from the skies and threw spears with yellow electricity down and they impaled a few humans while electrifying the land. The world's natives quickly went over to rescue the humans, some flew and swam to get them while the unicorns used magic to teleport them and the kirins used telekinesis to grab them, they brought them to Equestria and Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, the Mane Six, and Spike went to them, "You guys okay?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the humans spoke in different languages and Twilight Sparkle cast a spell, "Thank you, you saved us, we are at war back at home, those monsters and creatures have all gathered together to wipe out us humans from existence, we are on the verge of extinction." one man said, the other humans looked at him with disbelief and he then looked at himself, "My, you are speaking a different language." a woman stated, the humans looked at her with surprise, "I have cast a magic spell to translate what you all say to stuff I can understand since you all are speaking various languages that I never heard before." Twilight Sparkle explained, "Oh, that explains a lot." a second man commented, "So, are you all like being driven out or something?" Rainbow Dash questioned, "No, we're being killed and all of our settlements destroyed, the other creatures of our world are conquering our lands, we tried to make peace and coexist with them but they refused, they said they were on the world first, and we were not created by the Maker like how they were, so they all decided to wipe us all out." a third man explained, "What? That ain't right, y'all don't seem to be troublemakers either." Applejack remarked, "But it's true, even the gods are trying to drive us to extinction." a second woman responded, "A full extinction of a species on a global scale, we have had threats and conquerors in our world before as well, but they never went that far." Princess Luna said, "Plus, several of those creatures seem like wild animals and have no sentience, somebody has to be leading them." Princess Celestia deduced, "Yes, the leader of all of the creatures hasn't been transferred here yet, he's the ruler of our home planet, all of the native animals and creatures bow to him." a fourth man answered, "Come with us, we'll provide you all food and medicine, we need to know what type of creatures you all are fighting and the names of the high ranking members in this commander's army if there is any." Princess Celestia explained, "Thank you, we'll tell you all everything you need to know." a third woman replied, and they went to Canterlot. The humans arrived in Canterlot Castle and sat in the throne room, they were served hay, vegetables, fruits, grains, and various drinks, "Our bodies cannot handle hay." a woman said, "Oh, sorry, I don't know what your kind can digest or not." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Do you have any paper and writing utensils so we can draw our enemies and write down their names and descriptions?" a man requested, "That won't be necessary, I have a spell that will show us all of your enemy types and you all can explain." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Well, that's convenient." a second man commented, and Twilight Sparkle cast a spell. A white screen came up and images of the humans' enemies came up, the ponies and Spike looked on in shock, "Whoa!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, "Golly! That's a lot of different type of creatures!" Applejack exclaimed, "Well, let's get started, I'd like for you all to start with the ones already here." Princess Celestia said, "Very well, the big cats with two big teeth there are smilodons, those big dogs are amphicyons, those big frogs with horns are beelzebufos, those big millipedes are arthropoleuras, they are native fauna of our home planet that have existed centuries before us." the first man explained, "So, your own animals are trying to wipe you guys out, too?" Fluttershy asked, "Yes, while they are primitive and driven by instinct, they have swore allegiance to the one leading them." another woman replied, "Is that possible?" Pinkie Pie questioned, "Well, yes, animals like that usually follow the strongest of the group." Fluttershy answered, "What were those moaning creatures you had tied to posts with rope?" Rarity asked, "Zombies, they are reanimated corpses without their souls in them, whenever we fight back against our enemies, they are the first line of defense due to them being slow and mindless." a third woman explained, "So a bit like the prank you all pulled on me with the cookies." Rainbow Dash grumbled, "Next we saw were creatures who looked like you guys but were wrapped completely in bandages, what are those?" Princess Luna questioned, "Mummies, they have existed longer than us humans, they also among the front line of our enemies, they serve as spellcasters among our direct enemies." a fourth woman responded, "We all know what the next ones were, we have animated skeletons here in our world, too." Applejack stated, "So you all have to tend to them as well." a third man remarked, "One thing I noticed is the skeletons were all different shapes and sizes." Starlight Glimmer said, "Yes, the skeletons you all saw were of the other creatures that make up most of the different type of conquerors, as you all saw, we have a primitive species called dinosaurs, dragons of various shapes and sizes, the winged skeletons with feathery wings are angels, the ones with leathery wings and horns are demons, the winged humanoids with the upside-down feathery wings are fallen angels, the males winged humanoids with pointed ears are incubi, the female versions are succubi, the humanoids with pointed ears and no wings are elves, the creatures with bug-like wings are fairies, the creatures with two big fangs are orcs, the short skeletons are dwarfs, the skeletons with four fangs are vampires, those bipedal wolves are werewolves, we have several different types of were-beasts, the three-eyed monsters are trolls, the slouched creatures with sharp teeth are ghouls, the small monsters with oval shaped skulls are goblins, the very tall humanoid skeletons are giants, the small skeletons that only grow up to our shins are alps, and the one-eyed bipedal skeletons are cyclopes." the first man explained, the ponies and Spike became speechless, "Wow, so what do they do?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "The dinosaurs chase and eat us. The dragons fly, swim underwater, breathe fire, and summon lightning, they try to eat us, too. Angels throw spears at us, demons use magic and a variety of weapons, fallen angels use dark magic and spears, incubi and succubi trick us into falling in love with them and suck out our life force while we sleep. The elves and fairies use bows and arrows, swords, and magic, orcs use two-handed weapons and brute strength, dwarfs attack us with two-handed axes, vampires drink our blood, turn into rats, bats, and mist, and only come out at night, werewolves and other beasts hunt and eat us, trolls and ghouls use bones as weapons and try to eat us, goblins steal our stuff and attack us. The giants chase us and try to smash us with clubs, alps sit on our chests and suffocate us when we sleep, and cyclopes attack us with clubs made from bones and try to eat us." the second man explained, "Dang, talk about bad luck." Rainbow Dash remarked, "Excuse me, but what is a fallen angel?" Princess Cadance asked, "The angels reside in a place high in the skies called Heaven, when an angel breaks its rules, they are cast out and into a place under the ground called Hell, they change to fallen angels and their wings turn upside-down to let others know they have been cast out, which causes them to lose their powers over light magic and get replaced with dark magic." the first woman explained, "It is a bit like our world's dark ponies." Princess Luna said, "It is, indeed, please continue." Princess Celestia requested, "Those big red bipedal creatures with clubs are called oni, they chase and eat us as well." the third man answered, "And what are they supposed to be?" Spike questioned, "We don't know, they just live in caves, far away from others, and come out to hunt and eat while using their black metal clubs." the fourth woman answered, "Hmm, they seem more sentient and civilized than the other creatures." Rarity remarked, "Yeah, good point there, they don't seem like yer typical run-of-the-mill hungry wild animal, some of 'em seem to be wearin' armor, too." Applejack added, "We'll worry about that later. What was that wheel on fire with the face in its center?" Princess Celestia questioned, "Wanyūdō, unlike the other creatures, he is one of a kind, there are none like him, he is sentient and capable of speech, too. He is a creature of fire that burns anything wherever he goes." the first man explained, "A wheel that burns anything it touches, it sounds like he was created with magic." Star Swirl the Bearded theorized, "We'll wonder about that later, what were big pigs that came out afterwards?" Mistmane asked, "Entelodonts, they are native fauna from our planet and have existed centuries before us humans." the second woman responded, "Alright then, onto the next one, this is the one we're all the most curious about, that giant one hundred headed creature." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Yeah, who and what is that thing?" Rainbow Dash inquired, "Typhon, he is a god, he has existed before any life on the Earth formed." the first man answered, "What?! That guy's a god?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, the humans nodded, "He is one of the many powerhouses in the enemy's army, but from what we've seen, it's possible he is the most powerful individual of our opponents, us humans don't have anything that works against him." a fourth man stated, "From what we've seen of him, we may need help from the other countries, sister." Princess Luna said, "I agree, this Typhon looks even stronger than Tirek at his full power." Princess Celestia stated, "We pray for your safeties and victories if you all fight Typhon, we saw you all have magic, us humans do not, so you all might be able to fight back." a fifth woman remarked, "Twilight, we might need help from every country against him." Applejack commented, "I agree, his powers seem to be off the charts, not even the Tree of Harmony and Rainbow Power is going to be enough to put him down." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, onto the next one, what were those skeletons on the horses in the last island?" Rockhoof questioned, "The four you saw are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the one on the white horse and carrying the bow is White Rider, he conquers land and rules over them, the one on the red horse and carrying the sword is Red Rider, he causes wars to break outs, the one on the black horse and carrying the weighted scales is Black Rider, he causes famine to occur wherever he goes, and the one on the pale horse and carrying the scythe is Death, but we call him Pale Rider, he kills any living being he passes while any plants around him wither and die." the first man explained, "We are a land of love and friendship, we may have spells that can counter their powers." Princess Celestia said, "Good, anything will do at this rate." the third man replied, "What about those two headless horse riders who joined them afterwards?" Somnambula asked, "The one holding the axe is the Headless Horseman, the one holding the sword is Dullahan, they ride around anywhere they please and kill any human they come across." the first woman responded, "I see, and those scary looking flying creatures with them?" Mage Meadowbrook questioned, "The Sluagh, they kill and eat everything in their path, they're a variation of the regular fairies we encounter." the third woman explained, "Facing them head on would be a bad idea, we might have to freeze them somehow." Flash Magnus suggested, "Next things we saw were creatures that looked like you guys but changed to swans." Sunburst stated, "Swan maidens, they are usually spies for our enemies." a fifth man responded, "And those black shadowy creatures that emerged out of the waters?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "Umi-bōzus, they hide in the water and sink ships, they are black like shadows and as tall as mountains." a sixth man replied, the ponies and Spike had shocked expressions, "Let's continue, let's write down the last two, what were those creatures in the last land blowing snow and freezing everything?" Spike questioned, "Yuki-onnas, they are an all female type of creature just like the swan maidens, the yuki-onnas float around and freeze everything by blowing snow out of their mouths." the second man explained, "My, they sound almost like our world's Windigos." Princess Cadance remarked, "I see the resemblance, too." Shining Armor stated, "And the last flying creatures we saw?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "Angels, they are from Heaven, from the info we have gathered, there are nine different types: Angels, Archangels, Principalities, Powers, Virtues, Dominions, Thrones, Cherubim, and Seraphim, only the Angels and Archangels have been sent to fight us." a sixth man explained, "And those spears with yellow lightning they use?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "That is the primary weapon of the angels since they usually attack from the sky, the magic on their spears counter the magic the demons use." the fifth man stated, "Wow. Alright then, now, the other creatures that are not here in this world yet, we need to know about them as well." Twilight Sparkle spoke, "Very well, we'll start with our native fauna first, those giant moose there are cervalces', they mostly ram into us. Those elephants with the big tusks are anancus', those giant snakes are titanoboas, they constrict their prey, those giant four-legged lizards there are megalanias, those giant sloths there are megatheriums, those big bears are arctodus', very dangerous. The big apes there are gigantopithecus', the big alligators there by the waters are deinosuchus', the crocodiles beside them are sarcosuchus', the big squids in the water under them are cameroceras', the big turtle on the water's surface are archelons, and the big sharks in the waters are megalodons, very dangerous, so be careful if you encounter them, and the last non-dinosaur animal here are those big birds there, they are called argentavis'. The rest of the antagonistic fauna are dinosaurs, they are divided into several types, these here are the pterosaurs with the arambourgianias commanding them, these here are the northosauruses, they command the northosaurs. These are the shonisauruses, they command the ichthyosaurs, these here beside them are the elasmosauruses, commanders of the plesiosaurs, the next closest ones are the kronosauruses, commanders of the pilosaurs, and the last water dinosaur types are the mosasaureses here, commanders of the mosasaurs. The land dinosaurs here are higher ranked than the flying and swimming dinosaurs, these here are the stegosauruses, commanders of the thyreophorans, the next ones here are the pachycephalosauruses, commanders of the pachycephalosaurians. These dinosaurs here with two horns on their heads and horn on their noses are eotriceratops', commanders of the ceratopsians, these giant long-necked dinosaurs are the argentinosauruses, commanders of the sauropods, these dinosaurs here are the shantungosauruses, commanders of the ornithopods, and these are the spinosauruses, commanders of all of the dinosaurs, we were surprised because we thought the tyrannosauruses or giganotosauruses were going to be the supreme dinosaur commanders, but they're not." the first man explained, "Wow, you guys sure have a lot of different types of dinosaurs." Spike remarked, "Those are only the commanding types, there are many more different types if we tell you all of the races." the third woman responded, "We don't have time for all of that, please tell us about the other type of creatures you all are fighting." Princess Celestia requested, "A common creature we fight not here yet are ghosts, they are the dead returning as spirits, they haunt us and can possess people and objects." the fourth man stated, "Ooh, that's scary." Fluttershy quivered, "I've noticed some creatures you guys didn't talk about yet resemble the dinosaurs, can you explain to us who they are?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Very well, the plesiosaur one there is the Loch Ness Monster, the plesiosaur by it is Morgawr, the third plesiosaur by them is Issie, the big water serpent there is Ikuchi, the other water serpentine dragon by it there is Mizuchi, the shark hiding in the waters there is Isonade, that big eel-like creature in the water there is the Lambton Worm, and those three big, tall, bipedal ape-like creatures have different names, the brown one is Bigfoot, the white one is Yeti, and the black one is Hibagon." the fifth man explained, the ponies and Spike noticed their Yeti looked very different from the ones in Yakyakistan, "Wait, that giant many legged bug crawling on the mountain back there isn't a dinosaur?" Pinkie Pie asked, "No, that's the Ōmukade, one of a kind." the fourth woman answered, "What about the other bears, are they old and ancient animals, too?" Rarity asked, "No, they are types of demons, those one-eyed bears are nandi bears, and those bipedal bears are onikumas, and just like werewolves, we have were-bears to contend with as well." a sixth woman answered, "Um, I don't mean to be rude and interrupt, but is that colorful bird there a dinosaur, too?" Fluttershy asked, "Oh, that's the Kongamato, we don't know what that is, but we haven't ruled out the possibility of it being a dinosaur." the first woman answered, "What about that big snake there? Is that another titanoboa?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No, that's the Basilisk, it's another one of a kind monster, anything that looks into its eyes dies and its breath makes creatures choke." the fourth man responded, "We'll see to dispose of it quickly." Princess Celestia stated, "Speaking of snakes, that really small one on the ground there to the left in the picture is the Tsuchinoko, it is much nimbler than it looks, it has venom in its fangs, too." the fourth woman stated, "Aw, it looks rather cute." Fluttershy remarked, "Are there anymore prehistoric looking animals you all would like to mention?" Princess Celestia questioned, "Sure, that creature with the spines coming out of its back is the Chupacabra, it is a very fast runner, those big apes with the fangs there are the yowies, those black apes with red eyes near the top in the background are the skunk apes, those cats there with dark gray fur and black stripes are mngwas, extremely dangerous. Those bipedal birds with human features and body shapes in the sky in the picture's upper-left corner are ekeks, and those humans with bat wings and talons beside them to their rights are the wakwaks." the first man answered, "So they don't have any special powers or magic?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Well, the ekeks can transform into huge birds and bats, it and the wakwaks can also trick people into believing they're closer or farther away than they actually are, the closer they are, the fainter their sounds are, and the louder, the farther away they are, but the other creatures he just mentioned only have claws and teeth and no magic." the first woman replied, "I see, I've noticed a giant skeleton in the background of the picture as well." Princess Luna remarked, "That is the Gashadokuro, it was a skeleton even when first created, it's been hunting and eating us humans." the third man answered, "You all sure that's not a skeleton of one of the giants?" Sunburst questioned, "I doubt it, look at it and the giants, it's much bigger and taller than them." Shining Armor replied, "Hold on, Ah think Ah see another snake, is that... an elephant's head and tusk it has there?" Applejack questioned, "Grootslang, it is another one of the enemy army's powerhouses, it is also one of the first beings created on our planet." a sixth man explained, "I figured it was one of the heavy hitters, you can tell it's strong by just looking at it." Rainbow Dash remarked, "So, what's next to know?" Princess Cadance requested, "See those flying flames in the skies there, those are certain types of ghosts, there's two types: onibi and will-o'-the-wisp, we can't tell the difference between the two so we use them interchangeably, and that stream of light in front of them is a tenka, another form of a ghost, and those floating flames with faces are kechibis, another type of ghost, the next ghost is by them, it's those human females with children in their bodies, those are mu-onnas." the second man explained, "That reminds me, see those creatures down in the lower-left corner of the picture? Those are draugr, they're smarter than zombies and use weapons." a seventh woman stated, "Are they mindless?" Applejack questioned, "Not completely, they know how to use weapons, they don't eat us, either." the seventh woman answered, "Those creatures beside them are ogres, they usually reside in swamps, they and the orcs occasionally team up together." the fourth man stated, "Are there anymore big group creatures in your enemy's army?" Princess Celestia questioned, "Yes, those down near the center there are the Fomorians, that guy leading them is Balor. Those guys there with human upper-bodies and horse lower-bodies are centaurs, they are fast, strong, and skilled archers.

Pinkie Pie exclaimed, "Even gods are in leagues in them?" Rainbow Dash questioned, "Yes, but unlike the others, they have no loyalty to the leader and do not follow his orders, they do as they please, they're only working together to achieve the common goal of making our kind extinct." the fourth man explained, "Who are they?" Princess Celestia questioned, "Fujin was a god of wind and Raijin was a god of lightning, the bearded guy there with the lightning bolts is Zeus, another god of lightning, the tall guy in the sea is his brother, Poseidon, god of the sea, that guy controlling the zombies and skeletons there is their other brother, Hades, god of the dead, that woman in the water is Amphitrite, goddess of the sea and Poseidon's wife, the woman coming out of the ground there is Persephone, the goddess of fertility and Hades' wife, the woman with the bow there is Artemis, goddess of hunting and the moon. That old bearded guy on the eight legged horse is Odin, a god of war and death, the Valkyries serve under him, and the horse is Sleipnir, and that guy with the hammer to their rights is Thor, another god of lightning. That green skinned guy is Osiris, god of the dead, the blue skinned guy is Amun, god of air, the guy with the falcon head is Ra, god of the sun, the other guy with the falcon head is Khonshu, god of the moon, the guy with the jackal head is Anubis, another god of the dead, the big serpent beside him is Apep, god of chaos and darkness, the guy with the donkey head is Set, another god of war. The four armed guy is Vishnu, god of preservation, the guy beside him with the spear is Bishamonten, yet another god of war. The woman with the black hair there and in the fancy white kimono is Amaterasu, another goddess of the sun, the guy to her right there in the blue robes is her brother, Tsukuyomi, another god of the moon. That short blue skinned guy is Huitzilopochtli, god of the sun and war, and that strange looking flying guy to his left is Pazuzu, god of plagues and the southwestern wind." the fifth man responded, "Is that everybody besides the leader?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "From what we've heard from our enemies, there are also nine gods from outer space called the Outer Gods, we've never seen them, but we heard their names are Azathoth, Cxaxukluh, Daoloth, Ghroth, Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, Tulzscha, Yibb-Tstll, and Yog-Sothoth, and they're ugly and scary looking." the first woman responded, "What is this outer space?" Applejack asked, "We don't know." the third man stated, "Hmm, I see, is that all?" Princess Celestia inquired, "Yes, only one left is the enemies' supreme commander, Volvox, he's that big three-headed quadrupedal creature in the very center of the picture." the fourth man replied, everybody looked at him with shock, "So that's who that is." Star Swirl the Bearded commented, "Still, wow, what a bunch of different type of creatures." Starlight Glimmer stated, "Thank you all for your time, you new people may go." Princess Celestia said, and the humans left, "We have to prepare quickly, this world has never gone up against an army of so many different creatures, we actually face the threat of extinction this time, we have to start preparing accordingly and immediately." Princess Celestia stated, and the ponies and Spike began preparing Equestria's, the Crystal Empire's, and Saddle Arabia's defenses. The next few days passed mostly peacefully while the mummies tried casting spell and the world's natives' shields repelled them, they also blocked the spears thrown by the angels, blocked out any snow the yuki-onnas breathed on them, blocked out the Sluagh and the skeleton angels, demons, fallen angels, incubi, succubi, fairies, vampires, flying were-beasts, and dragons, blocked the rocks and debris thrown by the oni, and skeleton giants, orcs, dwarfs, and cyclopes, blocked the arrows shot by White Rider and the skeleton elves and fairies, and just barely blocked the volcanic eruptions and hurricanes Typhon summoned, "The shields aren't going to hold against that Typhon guy." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Y'all come up with anythin' that'll work against him?" Applejack asked, "Not yet, I think we may have to call Discord to deal with him." Twilight Sparkle replied, "So... what do we do about them?" Sweetie Belle questioned, "Well, obviously, trying to offer them friendship is out of the question, they're likely going to attack us on sight." Twilight Sparkle responded, "We haven't been able to sleep cause of their racket." Apple Bloom remarked, "Yeah, some of the foals at school said they're having nightmares, too." Scootaloo added, "Y'all kids go into hidin', it's too dangerous to be out right now." Applejack stated, white electricity appeared in the sky and a black hole opened, draugr fell out and into the water, they began swimming to the nearest lands and the ones on Equestria began attacking with swords, shields, spears, axes, hammers, clubs, and maces while the ones on human lands fired arrows. Valkyries rode out on horses and they threw spears at the shields, Thor then came out and shot lightning strikes by swinging his hammer, Odin emerged next while riding on Sleipnir, he rammed into the shield and began stabbing it with his spear, the ponies exclaimed when they saw his spear pierce through the magic shield, "What?!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, "How did he get through the shield?!" Rainbow Dash inquired, "Odin's spear is magical in nature, it also always hits his target no matter what." one man explained, "Well, judging by where he's stabbing, his target is... *gasp* his target is me!" Twilight Sparkle stated, "Some of our enemies can foresee the future, I'm guessing they see you as a big problem for them because of that." one woman deduced, "Well, anyway, we gotta do something, he's going to get through to us at anytime." Rainbow Dash remarked, the umi-bōzus emerged out of the waters and began slamming their arms down on the shield around Mount Aris while the Royal Hippogriff Navy quickly sailed away, portals opened inside the magic shields and zombies came out. They moaned and moved slowly while everybody just stood around and watched them, "No wonder why they're Volvox's first group of attackers." Spike snarked, the zombies stumbled around and tried to bite anyone nearby and they just moved around slowly, the unicorns shot zaps at them and made them disappear. More rifts opened and many more monsters came in and began attacking the world's natives, the shields eventually went down and Stymphalian birds flew around and began pecking the humans with their bladed beaks. The unicorns and alicorns shot zaps at them to make them disappear and fallen angels appeared in the sky next, "Is something on our end opening them?" Rainbow Dash inquired, "No, I sensed those holes with my magic, someone or more than one person are opening rifts between this world and the other world, something big is coming through to east of the Dragon Lands, too." Twilight Sparkle answered, everybody looked and saw a lot of electricity appearing in the sky and water, they disappeared and everybody's jaws dropped when they saw Volvox and his entire army. Volvox stood in the very center of his entire army and Tom flew forward, he led all of the orcs, dwarfs, elves, fairies, vampires, were-beasts, trolls, ghouls, goblins, alps, giants, cyclopes, incubi, succubi, and dragons, Poseidon commanded the oceanids, the seven archangels led the angels, Typhon commanded his world's Orthrus, his world's Cerberus, his world's Chimera, the Nemean Lion, his world's Hydra, his world's Sphinx, the Colchian Dragon, Ladon, and the Caucasian Eagle, Azrael and Abaddon led the fallen angels, the Seven Princes of Hell and the seventy two Solomon demons led the demons, the spinosauruses led the other prehistoric fauna, Shuten-dōji led the onis, Balor led the Formorians, and Volvox ordered the rest of the monsters around. Volvox and all of the creatures present used their various powers and abilities to lay waste to the countries while the humans and world's natives tried to fight back, fire, lightning, ice, water, wind, lava, light magic, and dark magic appeared everywhere while Volvox and his army worked together to create every kind of natural disaster. The unicorns and alicorns cast magic spells that had various levels of effect on them, the Pegasi flew around and tried bucking and kicking them, the earth ponies used catapults to launch various items at them, the dragons breathed fire at them and some creatures burned while others were immune, the griffons flew away while some tried biting and pecking the creatures, the zombies bit them and they got sick, the changelings changed to various fauna of the world and fought the invaders head-on, the yaks charged forward and rammed them, the seaponies and hippogriffs worked together to fight off the invaders while using their naval ships, and the kirins changed to niriks and tried to burn the invaders while also using telekinesis. Volvox swatted the Pegasi, dragons, griffons, changelings, and hippogriffs away while shooting six orange hellfire blasts out of his front left foot, one from each claw tip and one from the ball of his foot, "So their leader uses fire magic." Applejack remarked, "This isn't ordinary fire magic, I sense dark magic in it, he's using hellfire, it's much stronger than ordinary fire." Princess Celestia explained, she saw Dommiel create shadow duplicates of himself and they grew wings out of their backs and flew forward to attack the other countries, the angels threw spears enchanted with light magic while the fallen angels threw spears enchanted with dark magic, the regular demons cast fire and shadow spells, the vampires transformed into bipedal bats and flew around, and the human looking members of Volvox's army transformed into werewolves, were-bears, were-lions, were-tigers, were-owls, were-vultures, were-sharks, and were-honey badgers. Volvox reeled up on his hind legs and orange circles appeared on in his three mouths, on his four eyes and in the two eye holes of his skeletal head, on the tip of his front legs' claws, and the balls of his front feet, and red electricity appeared on his tail's tip, "Take cover!" a human male ordered, and all twenty one orange balls shot out up to fifty hellfire blasts while red lightning shot out of his tail in all directions, explosions covered the world and destroyed the countries' buildings while the world's natives watched in horror, the houses and architecture fell apart while Volvox stopped attacking and back on all fours. Volvox and his army continued moving forward and destroyed everything in their path, the humans and world's natives saw they were not doing well, Princess Celestia cast a spell to make the sun brighter, it shot a big beam out and burned everything it touched, some of the creatures in Volvox's army turned to ashes and Volvox quickly used his powers to open the ground and he and his entire army went underground. Everybody panted while they saw how much destruction the invaders caused, "Is everyone alright?" Applejack asked, the humans nodded, "What an enormous army." Princess Luna stated, "So, did they get scared and run away?" Rainbow Dash asked, "No, they've withdrawn for now and are recovering, Volvox is probably planning the next attack right now, too." one man explained, "Where exactly did they go?" Rarity questioned, "Very deep underground, we won't reach them no matter how far we dig." a woman responded, "Well, let's go ahead and rebuild and fortify for now, we usually don't use violence, but it seems we have no choice this time." Twilight Sparkle commented, "Do you guys have any way to view other worlds, realms, or dimensions?" a boy asked, "Well, we could try casting a spell and see if anything comes up." Starlight Glimmer answered, "Can you try to bring the rest of us here?" a girl requested, "Sure, come on, Starlight, let's try opening the rifts to their world together." Twilight Sparkle said, and she and Starlight Glimmer cast a spell. The rifts reopened and everybody saw the humans' world, the humans screamed and exclaimed with shock and horror and some cried when they saw all of their civilizations and settlements were destroyed and the humans who remained on Earth were dead, "So that's why Volvox and his monsters took a while to get here, they were busy slaughtering the ones who didn't come here before arriving themselves." one man said, "It looks like we're the only humans left." one woman added, "I got a mirror that leads to another world with creatures like you guys, a friend of mine named Sunset Shimmer lives there, I'll contact her after we finish rebuilding and fortifying." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the creatures worked together. Volvox and his army of creatures, prehistoric animals, angels, demons, fallen angels, and gods were in the world's core and watching carefully, "So those are our new enemies." Zeus commented, "And unlike the humans, they have magic and spells to use against us." Odin added, "Those humans are lucky to have such allies." Barbatos commented, "Indeed, if it were not for them appearing here, we would've wiped them out by now." Paimon replied, "I am ready to wipe out humanity, the Maker didn't make them." Typhon remarked, "Yeah, we were on Earth first, too." Thor added, "What are thinking of doing for our next attack, Volvox?" Lucifer asked, "I'm still arranging things in my heads right now, I'm hoping our next assault will wipe out our enemies." Volvox answered, "I think sending in our shapeshifters to spy on this world's creatures would be a good idea." Dommiel suggested, "I agree, we just arrived, so we don't know how powerful this world's natives are." Tom added, "That is why I am labeling them as extremely high level threats in my mind right now." Volvox responded, "So, should we send a message to this world's natives not to mess with us?" a Valkyrie suggested, "Yeah, that sounds good, let them know to leave us alone." another Valkyrie remarked, "We should also destroy their capitals as warnings." Pazuzu stated, many creatures agreed, "No." Volvox said, the others looked at him, "We treat them like how we treat our human enemies, no warnings, threats, or messages of any kind, and we take no prisoners, we attack them from their blind spots as well. When we attack, we destroy every piece of land and civilization, we do not rest until we kill every single human, native creature, flora, and fauna until there is not a square millimeter of life left in this world, and if they give up and surrender, we kill them. I, myself, will be partaking in the next assault, we attack the humans and this world's natives in their blind spots tonight while they are asleep, I will now assign you all which country to attack." Volvox explained, and he began. The world's natives rebuilt and fortified their countries and were tired at the end of the day, they slept peacefully at night while Princess Luna was in the dream realm, everybody was relaxed until they suddenly woke up screaming from getting attacked, Volvox shot hundreds of hellfire blasts into Equestria and the Crystal Empire from under the ground, Dommiel created shadow duplicates of himself and attacked every country, Tom and the dragons shot fire and lightning into every country, Giovi and the ghouls attacked and bit the humans, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael Uriel, Selaphiel, Jegudiel, Barachiel, and the angels shot yellow lightning and threw spears into every country, Azrael, Abaddon, and the fallen angels shot big black blasts of dark magic into Equestria, Lucifer smashed buildings with his fists while also shooting black blasts out of his eyes everywhere, Leviathan rammed Seaquestria's architecture and ate any seapony in his way, Mammon made coins fly around and cut people, Beelzebub summoned flies all over the world to eat the humans and world's natives, Belphegor made the world's gravity stronger to make the world's natives fall, Asmodeus' eyes glowed and it caused infighting among the humans, and Satan made fire appear in random places around the world. The world's natives struggled to fight the invaders and stopped for a second when the seventy two Solomon demons appeared.

Seere did hit-and-run attacks, and all seventy two of them commanded thousands of demons. Twilight Sparkle watched in horror at seeing the humans be incompetent while their invisible enemies attacked them from everywhere and nothing worked against them, the world got destroyed while the unicorns and kirins tried to look for the demon casting the invincibility spell. Zombies, skeletons, and mummies appeared everywhere while the humans and world's natives could not see them, the zombies bit the humans and turned them into zombies while the skeletons used melee weapons and the mummies cast black magic and necromancy.

The ponies came out of hiding and the unicorns and alicorns put the shields down, the other survivors emerged from underground and looked on in shock and horror at their destroyed world, "Our home..." King Thorax lamented, "It's too damaged to rebuild." Pharynx replied, "Wow, compared to the other countries, ours didn't get damaged very much." Princess Ember commented, "We got less casualties, too." Dragon Lord Torch added, "I guess us dragons being tough helped this time." Garble remarked, "Yeah, though we still have to be careful, our enemies can still got through our scales and armor." Smolder reminded, "Same can't be said about Griffonstone, place has been reduced to ashes." Gallus said, "It's a miracle we survived, all of that fire was scary." Gabby responded, "Yeah, I thought I was a goner." Gilda added, "There's only a few of us griffons left, we suffered heavy casualties." Grampa Gruff reminded, "How are the other countries?" Princess Celestia questioned, "Horrible, we got a lot of very sick citizens in ours, the invaders have turned the Crystal Empire into a disease ridden environment." Princess Cadance reported, "Cloudsdale's not any better, the weather factory has been destroyed and many Pegasi are too injured to move." Spitfire reported, "Yakyakistan destroyed, yaks have no home." Prince Rutherford reported, "Mount Aris got heavily damaged, we had many casualties, too."

General Seaspray reported, "Kirin Grove has been frozen over, we got frozen kirins and niriks as well." Rain Shine reported, "And from the looks of it, it seems the Bone Dry Desert didn't have much damage done to it and Kludgetown is completely destroyed, I don't see any survivors either." Twilight Sparkle stated as she flew up and observed, "Are there anymore survivors?" Princess Celestia questioned, they gathered up and she saw the survivors were herself, Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Grampa Gruff, King Thorax, Pharynx, Prince Rutherford, Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, Sky Beak, Ocean Flow, Terramar, General Seaspray, Rain Shine, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunburst, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, Silverstream, Autumn Blaze, Doctor Whooves, Daisy, Lily Valley, Roseluck, Derpy, DJ Pon-3, Octavia, Daring Do, Photo Finish, Spitfire, and a few more citizens, "This is all that's left of this world?" Silverstream asked, "Trixie?" Starlight Glimmer called out, "Over here." Trixie hollered from debris being moved around with telekinesis, Starlight Glimmer moved the remaining debris and Trixie ran forward, she came out and ran to the others. Everybody looked for more survivors and they heard running to the northeast, they saw Tempest Shadow arrive with Grubber and several Storm Guards, "Oh, thank goodness, I was worried about you, Tempest Shadow." Twilight Sparkle said, "We tried to fight back, but nothing worked no matter what we tried." Tempest Shadow replied, "About that, we cast some counter spells to discover why they're like that, turns out one of the commanders is casting an invincibility spell on the entire army." Starlight Glimmer revealed, "Invincibility? Well, that explains a lot." Tempest Shadow remarked, "We pretty much wasted all of our resources." Grubber commented, "We can still fight." Tempest Shadow reminded, "I'll go ahead and write a letter to Sunset Shimmer saying we need her help." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she made a sheet of paper and a quill and began writing and soon finished, "Okay, so... um? Is this everybody?" Autumn Blaze asked, "I hope not, come on, let's keep looking." Sandbar remarked, and everybody searched the world for survivors. Volvox and his army were underground Volvox watched the world's natives group up, "I think it would be best if we kill them now, Volvox." Dommiel suggested, the others agreed, "Not yet." Volvox said, the others exclaimed with confusion, "The survivors are still scattered across the land, let them group up, we will launch our next attack when they are all in one place and try to wipe them all out in one swoop." Volvox explained, "I agree with Volvox, that sounds like a good idea." the Satori spoke, "Plus, my invincibility spell will make it impossible for them to fight back." Foras boasted, "Can you cast it on yourself, Foras?" Volvox questioned, "Nope, only works on others." Foras responded, "I see, those who can see into the future, are the natives making a counter spell to it?" Volvox inquired, "Yes, but we still win, we still got Alloces' immortality spell, too." Vassago responded, "And the Outer Gods? When will they come?" Volvox asked, "Near the end of the battle in this world." Barbatos answered, "Alright, go ahead and rest now, we launch another sneak attack when all of the survivors are gathered in one place." Volvox said, and they watched the world. The world's natives and humans gathered together and the unicorns tried to change them back to normal and undo Marbas', Orias', and Andrealphus' powers, "I'm having trouble changing them back." Starlight Glimmer remarked, "Me too, these spells of theirs are stronger than usual." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Do y'all know how to undo their spells?" Applejack asked, the male humans did not respond, "Are you all alright?" Princess Cadance asked worriedly, the female humans looked at them and checked them, "Oh, no, it's Gaap, he makes the male humans stupid with his powers, it's still in effect." a female human explained, "A brain altering spell, I might have something to help with that." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "Discord, where are you?" Fluttershy called out, he appeared in the air, "Here I am, I must say, that was quite the show." Discord said while eating popcorn, "Where were you when we needed your help?" Fluttershy inquired while raising her voice and Discord dropped his popcorn, "I was... uh... busy tending to problems in my realm." Discord replied while sweating, "What kind of problems?" Fluttershy asked while glaring and focusing on him, Um..." Discord said while sweating, "There was no problem, was there?" Fluttershy questioned, "Do you really think I would've stood a chance against that army of many creatures?" Discord asked, "We could've used your help, Discord, your powers could have prevented a lot of the damages around the world now." Fluttershy reprimanded, "Now, now, I may be almighty powerful and all, but that army is too much even for me." Discord remarked, "Couldn't you at least nullify their invincibility spell?" Princess Celestia inquired, "Considering how powerful the caster is, unlikely." Discord stated, "Well, can you at least try to undo the damage you see before you?" Princess Luna requested, "Sure, hope you all like sweets." Discord responded, and he changed the world to be full of desserts and confectioneries and the world rained chocolate, "What? What is this?!" Princess Ember fumed, "Is something the matter?" Discord asked, "Dragons don't eat sweets." Dragon Lord Torch answered, "What? You guys can't digest it or something?" Discord questioned, "Dragons are tough and just don't like sugar." Smolder replied, "Well, now's not the time to be picky, and Discord, if you would kindly, I would like the crops back so we can grow stuff to use for cooking and baking." Princess Celestia stated, and he did. Everybody continued searching for survivors and Star Swirl the Bearded, Flash Magnus, Somnambula, Mage Meadowbrook, Mistmane, Rockhoof, and Stygian regrouped with them, they began rebuilding while the unicorns tried to come up with a counter spell to Foras' invincibility spell and undo Gaap's spell on the male humans and make them regain their intelligence, "Any luck, y'all?" Applejack asked, "Nope, these spells are proving to be harder to undo than regular unicorn spells." Sweetie Belle responded, "Well, keep tryin', c'mon, Apple Bloom, we gotta work." Applejack said, and they did, Apple Bloom suddenly stopped after several minutes, "What's the matter, Apple Bloom?" Applejack questioned, "They got Big Mac and Granny." Apple Bloom lamented, Applejack looked at where Sweet Apple Acres used to be and saw black ashes everywhere, "Hey, now's not the time, you're not the only one who lost someone. I lost my fellow Wonderbolts, Twilight lost her friends in Canterlot and Ponyville, Pinkie lost Mr. and Mrs. Cake and Sugar Belle, Fluttershy lost all of her pets, Rarity lost all of her business partners, and Applejack lost her family, and all of our pets are gone." Rainbow Dash said, "It's not just them, we looked around, Rainbow, Cheerilee, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, their families, the other students in the class, and Zecora are all gone, too." Twilight Sparkle reported, "I've been looking at my machines and tampering with them, if I'm lucky, I can create a time machine to go back in time before the attack." Doctor Whooves said, "Need me to use my history altering spell with it?" Starlight Glimmer suggested, "I doubt that will help, these newcomers said a few of the invaders are actual gods, time travel and altering history likely has no effect on them." Doctor Whooves stated, "Me and Luna might have to deal with them, gods are usually immune to spells cast by regular ponies." Princess Celestia spoke, "I hate to suggest this, but I think we might have to free Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow to stand a chance against them." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "It's possible, but I have not seen their statues anywhere ever since last night's attack." Princess Celestia stated, "No worries, Twily, we'll take them down, though I am reluctant to destroy them instead of offering friendship." Shining Armor remarked, "We all are, I've never destroyed a person before." Twilight Sparkle responded, "You gotta be tough like a dragon in this case, maybe you should let me and my father lead us in this." Princess Ember suggested, "Before we do, I think us changelings should try to gather info on our enemies." King Thorax suggested, "I agree, we can change into anything, maybe we can see what they're planning next." Ocellus added, "Good idea, go ahead and try changing to their fauna, I think they'll be easier to repulicate, I'll teleport you all to under the ground." Twilight Sparkle stated, and the changelings changed to smilodons, amphicyons, arctoduses, beelzebufos, arthropleurae, velociraptors, microraptors, homotheriums, saber-toothed tigers, dinictises, dire wolfs, aelurodons, borophaguses, and xenosmiluses, "Okay, it looks like all of you are ready, we'll send you down now." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she alongside the other unicorns teleported them to under the ground. Volvox was sitting and listening to Vassago, Barbatos, Paimon, Gusion, Eligos, Botis, Ipos, Purson, Berith, Marchosias, Vual, Balam, Caim, Orobas, Gremory, and Flauros on what they foresaw of future events, "Those multi-colored creatures called changelings should be arriving here soon disguised as the smaller prehistoric animals to spy on us and gather info." Barbatos informed, "Alright, everyone, pretend to be exhausted and you don't know anything." Volvox ordered, and they did. King Thorax, Pharynx, Ocellus, and the other changelings appeared under the ground and are caught off guard by how hot it was, they endured it and saw Volvox and his army, they pretended to sleep while the changelings went over. They went over to the animals they posed as and tried to watch them, the animals pretended to sleep and kept their eyes' closed, King Thorax ordered the changelings around non-vocally and they began walking around. They tried to walk but saw it was crowded, so they changed to moths and flew around quietly, King Thorax could not find anything new about them and then looked at the other changelings, they shook their heads, they flew away and then changed to unicorns and teleported out. Volvox and the others opened their eyes' and got up, "Alright, they will be attacking us soon." Paimon commented, "Get ready, everyone." Volvox stated, and they did. The changelings returned to the surface and sweated and panted heavily, the unicorns cast spells to make ice appear to cool them, "How were they?" Tempest Shadow asked, "Asleep, it looks like they're exhausted from fighting us and are currently recovering." King Thorax reported, "Come on, now's our chance to strike." Princess Ember said, "Wait, how can you be sure it's not a trap?" Princess Luna questioned, "We didn't see anything that implies they're setting a trap." Pharynx replied, "See, that settles it, us dragons will go in first, everyone else, stay behind us." Princess Ember ordered, and they did and the unicorns opened the ground with their magic. They descended down and saw the invaders, Volvox shot big hellfire blasts out of his three mouths at them and the world's natives exclaimed loudly while Twilight Sparkle, Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart put up shields, Volvox stretched his necks out and went into the ground, his heads went under the shields and entered them, he shot his hellfire blasts into them and everybody screamed while Princess Celestia teleported everybody back onto the surface. The unicorns healed everybody while they hyperventilated, "I swore they were asleep." King Thorax remarked, "The ground opening probably woke them up." Twilight Sparkle deduced, "Unlikely, they were already alert instead of drowsy, they likely saw you guys coming." Tempest Shadow remarked, "But how?" Ocellus inquired, "Several high ranking members in Volvox's army can see into the future, remember?" a human female reminded, "We thought they were just seeing possible future outcomes." Sandbar stated, "No, they foresee the events that will happen, not events that might happen." a second human female explained, "What?!" Rarity exclaimed, "That's not fair! How are we supposed to win then?!" Rainbow Dash inquired, "What are we supposed to do then?!" Silverstream asked, "I'll come up with something, we need to nullify their future seeing powers and invincibility spell first and foremost." Princess Celestia replied, "Can't you do anything, Discord?" Terramar asked, "Well, I can try, but since they can see into the future, they will see me coming." Discord reminded, "We'll try to come up with something, you all continue trying to heal the male humans and undo the spell on them." Twilight Sparkle said, and they did. Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia went through their destroyed books in hopes of finding something, the mirror flashed and Sunset Shimmer arrived, "I'm here... whoa, what happened?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "You don't wanna know." Sweetie Belle replied, and she walked to help the others, "Have you been informed about our situation?" Tempest Shadow asked, "A bit, Twilight let me know the gist of it." Sunset Shimmer responded, the male humans groaned and looked around, "Where are we?" a male human asked, "It looks like the spell on them has been undone." Photo Finish commented while smiling, "Spell? Did Gaap make us stupid again?" a second male human asked, "Yes, the spell just got undone." a female human answered, "Must be convenient to have magic." a third male human remarked, "Yeah, all we got are knives, daggers, swords, shields, spears, javelins, axes, maces, clubs, hammers, sickles, halberds, pikes, staffs, bows, arrows, and crossbows, we don't have any of the powers our enemies have." a fourth man stated, "Wait a minute, y'all can't use magic?" Applejack asked, the humans shook their heads, "What about flying, can you guys do that?" Rainbow Dash asked, the humans shook their heads, "Are you guys as strong as the earth ponies here?" Sweetie Belle questioned, the humans shook their heads, "What about swimming?" Silverstream asked, "We can only swim at a certain depth, our bodies can't handle the water pressure if we go too deep." a second female human stated, "We can't swim against strong tides either." the first man added, "What can y'all do then?" Applejack asked, "We can walk, run, throw, punch, kick, make and use weapons, build, hunt, ride horses, fish, wrestle, and cook, our entertainment stuff haven't been helpful against our enemies, and they can do all of those too." the third man answered, "Well, I live in a world with your kind in it, too, so I know what you all are capable of." Sunset Shimmer stated, the humans' attentions got caught, "Are the humans in your world like us?" the second man asked, "Well, in the having no magic part, mostly yes, but as for the way you guys dress, no, your outfits are from a time in history called ancient times, I'm guessing your world is maybe at least two thousand years behind the world I'm in, minimum." Sunset Shimmer explained, "What is that human world like?" the first woman asked, "Fun, lots of entertainment and electronics." Sunset Shimmer responded, "Electronics?" the first man questioned, "Well, I'm not sure you all would understand it even if I did explain it." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Does it involve lightning?" the first man asked, "In a way, yes, but not like the lightning you guys are familiar with." Sunset Shimmer responded, "How is it different?" the second woman inquired, "Well, first of all, it's very small, you can't see it with your eyes." Sunset Shimmer answered, "What do you mean?" a third man asked, "Many centuries after your guys' time in my world, it was discovered that there are living beings and objects that are so small, you can't see them with your eyes, you need a device called a microscope to see them." Sunset Shimmer explained, "Small organisms that cannot be seen? We must see this." the second man said, "I can take you guys to my world if you wish." Sunset Shimmer suggested, "No, it will bring Volvox and his army to invade that world as well, we will remain here." the first man replied, "Alright then, I'll bring the stuff here then." Sunset Shimmer stated, and she ran back into the mirror. She came back with the microscopes and showed the humans, "Wow, who knew such things even existed." the third man said, "Well, you guys do live in a time where no one knew they were real, it's not surprising you all don't know about them." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Do you have views of gangrene?" the first woman requested, "Sorry, but no." Sunset Shimmer answered, and the humans continued examining the microscopic views of various things while the world's natives continued gathering together and rebuilding. Volvox was listening to his future seers and planning his next moves, "The last survivors will meet up soon, they are the parents and sisters of that pink horse, be wary, Volvox, they have powers that allow them to break the physics." Paimon warned, "When will those three in the statues be released?" Volvox asked, "Soon, after the next attack, they will be released, and an uneasy alliance will form between them." Ipos answered, "They will try to attack the one named Discord due to a past event but will be restrained, they will fail, but if they did succeed, they will try to obtain a bell that he hid to try to steal away our magic to empower themselves, they will target Foras first and try to take away his powers, mainly his invincibility spell, they will come after us future seers next so they can rob us of our ability to see future events." Flauros added, "We need to get that bell then, I'm also seeing signs those five winged unicorns will be our final opponents in this world to take out." Volvox commented, "No, but two of them are the fourth-to-last to fall, those six heroes will be after them, five will fall, then that pink horse and her family that will be standing at the end alongside Discord, he will be our final opponent, and he will empower himself greatly with that bell when he is the only being left on this world." Purson answered, "And the Outer Gods, when will they arrive to help?" Volvox questioned, "The attack after the next, they will greatly help us in wiping out this world." Barbatos replied, "Good, because after we make this world extinct, that world where Sunset Shimmer's residing is next, our goal is wipe out all humans from existence." Volvox stated, the others agreed, "Who do those humans think they were, they started making their own civilizations on our Earth like they owned it." Pixiu said, "Yeah, we were there first, the Maker didn't make them either." Sun Wukong added, "So, when do we attack next, we're getting tired of waiting." Yamata-no-Orochi stated, "Soon, we'll let them relax for now and do another attack when they're relaxed, hopefully, this one will wipe out the humans." Volvox answered, "I think my sisters and I should turn them to stone this time." Stheno suggested, "Indeed, that will make destroying them easier." Euryale added, "I agree, we and Catoblepas should turn them to stone next time." Medusa said, "If all of the survivors are gathered in one place, sure, but you lightning users electrify and paralyze them first if so." Volvox stated, "Perhaps we should have our shapeshifters watch them from afar." Pazuzu suggested, "Not a bad idea, go ahead and go." Volvox stated, and the kitsunes, tanukis, bakenekoes, nekomatas, mujinas, and the Popobawa transformed into various bugs and Volvox made a slight opening in the ground the shapeshifters flew up to the surface. Volvox's shapeshifters kept their distance while Bael cast an invisibility spell on them, they flew up high and far away so the natives do not hear them buzzing. They looked around and noticed Pinkie Pie and Discord seemed to notice their presence, they flew up into the sky and looked down at the world, they saw a stallion and five mares walking together and going to former Ponyville, they flew around the world and noticed they were the last survivors in the world. The Popobawa noticed the world's natives felt like they were being watched and looked around, he flew farther away from them while he noticed Twilight Sparkle was casting a spell, the shapeshifters began to become visible and they quickly hid, "Uh-huh! I knew we were being watched!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, "Well, they're gone now." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "They're not going to find anything, there's really nothing here." Grubber commented, "Let's continue rebuilding, there's still a chance we can survive." Tempest Shadow remarked, and they did. The day passed and everybody heard walking to the west, "Pinkamena Diane Pie, thank goodness, we were worried thou hath perished." Igneous Rock Pie said, Pinkie Pie gasped when she saw him with Cloudy Quartz, Limestone Pie, Maud Pie, and Marble Pie, "*gasp* Mom! Dad! Lime! Maud! Marble!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, and she hugged all of them, "Get off of me!" Limestone Pie demanded, "I am glad you are okay, too, Pinkie, even though I am not enjoying this hugging." Maud Pie commented, and Pinkie Pie let go of them, "Hast thou been well, Pinkamena Diane Pie?" Cloudy Quartz asked, "Mmhm, we are rebuilding and everybody's helping." Pinkie Pie answered, "I must confess, exploring the new land was a bit difficult." Maud Pie commented, "Mmhm." Marble Pie said while nodding, "Well, come on, let's start working, world's not gonna rebuild itself." Limestone Pie remarked, and Pinkie Pie and her family began breaking the laws of physics to rebuild the world. Volvox and his army were watching the world's natives while he noticed all of the world's survivors were now in one place, "Get ready, we attack tonight while they're asleep, those who can paralyze others with lightning, turn others to stone, and kill others by looking at them will attack first, all of us attack together as a group if they fail." Volvox stated, and they did. The world's natives and humans worked all day and became tired and slept, the dragons patrolled the world and looked for any enemies while the other creatures slept peacefully, Volvox opened the ground quietly while Bael, Foras, and Balam cast their invisibility spells while Foras also cast his invincibility spell and Ronove enchanted them to enhance their physical and magical capabilities. Tom, Barachiel, Zeus, Thor, Furfur, Amdusias, Thunderbird, Nue, Raijū, the Basilisk, Volvox's Cockatrice, Catoblepas, Boogeyman, Stheno, Euryale, Medusa, Raijin, and the lightning dragons went forward. They went high into the sky while Volvox moved the Basilisk, his Cockatrice, Catoblepas, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa with his telekinesis, Dragon Lord Torch looked and noticed orange outlines around six invisible creatures in the air, "INTRUDERS!!" Dragon Lord Torch yelled, everybody woke up while Tom, Barachiel, Zeus, Thor, Furfur, Amdusias, Thunderbird, Nue, Raijū, Boogeyman, Raijin, and the lightning dragons shot lightning down at the humans and world's natives. The unicorns and alicorns quickly put up shields to block the lightning strikes, they exclaimed when the force knocked them down and hitting the magic shields produced shockwaves that destroyed the world and set it on fire, Igneous Rock Pie, Cloudy Quartz, Limestone Pie, Maud Pie, Pinkie Pie, and Marble Pie disappeared out of everybody's sights and appeared in the sky. They began doing hit-and-run attacks while they bypassed Foras' invincibility spell, everybody got attacked by them left, right, front, back, above, and below, Dommiel made shadow deplicates of himself appear and tried to restrain them while Giovi also appeared and tried to slash them with his blades and teleported around. The ground erupted and the rest of Volvox's army appeared, Volvox stretched his necks out and burrowed them into the ground, they appeared inside the shields and he shot hellfire blasts in them, everybody screamed and quickly put their shields down. The spinosauruses, argentinosauruses, shantungosauruses, eotriceratopses, pachycephalosauruses, stegosauruses, arambourgianias, smilodons, amphicyons, elasmotheriums, anancuses, arctoduses, entelodonts, titanoboas, deinosuchuses, sarcosuchuses, megalanias, megatheriums, argentavises, beelzebufos, gigantopithecuses, arthropleuras, cervalceses, velociraptors, tyrannosauruses, giganotosauruses, American lions, mastodons, quetzalcoatluses, allosaurus, woolly mammoths, tiktaaliks, sordeses, pterodactyls, microraptors, triceratopses, chilesauruses, homotheriums, saber-toothed tigers, dinictises, dire wolves, aelurodons, borophaguses, and xenosmiluses charged forward and began scratching, biting, stomping, tail whacking, pecking, punching, kicking, ramming, and contricting the world's natives and humans. Everybody screamed and some of the humans and hippogriffs tried hiding in the waters but Volvox made mosasauruses, kronosauruses, elasmosauruses, shonisauruses, nothosauruses, archelons, camerocerases, megalodons, liopleurodons, atopodentatuses, eurypteruseses appear and attack them. The changelings and crystal ponies tried to fight but the incubi and sucubi absorbed their loves into themselves and weakened them while the kitsunes, tanukis, bakenekoes, nekomatas, and mujinas shapeshifted into various monsters but Discord changed them around, the Popobawa tried transforming but Discord changed his form around as well. Tom and his dragons breathed fire, summoned lightning from the sky, created powerful gusts by flapping their wings, and rode on the water waves and attacked everybody, Dragon Lord Torch's dragons breathed fire at them and the orcs began attacking them with their war hammers, the giants, onis, Shuten-dōji, and ogres attacked them with their clubs, the Tsurube-otoshi was carried through the sky by Volvox's telekinesis and made fall on Dragon Lord Torch's dragons, Hibagon, Bigfoot, Volvox's Yeti, the skunk apes, and yowies attacked them by bashing and throwing rocks at them, and the giants, golems, and Laestrygonians attacked them by slamming their fists down and punching them. Princess Ember realized their attackers' blunt attacks were cracking and breaking their armors and scales, she looked at the crystal ponies and saw they were sick, the Keukegan induced sicknesses on them, the Hound of Baskervilles placed death curses on them, the Flatwoods Monster let out shrill hisses while everybody around it felt sick, and Leraje infected the wounded creatures with gangrene. The unicorns undid the spell on the humans and made get their intelligence and thought processes back, they tried to fight back but Volvox grabbed some of the humans with his telekinesis and took them to his bipedal creatures, they held the humans in front of themselves and used them as shields while the other humans found themselves unable to attack and kill their fellow humans while the unicorns gasped, the angels, fallen angels, and Valkyries threw their spears at the humans and killed them, Michael then took his sword out and began slashing the world's natives and set them on fire, Gabriel blew a trumpet to summon natural disasters, Raphael shot arrows while also summoning tsunamis, Uriel absorbed souls out of peoples' bodies, Selaphiel summoned smoke to hide others, Jegudiel attacked with his three thonged whip, and Barachiel shot lightning out of his hands while his rose petals cut whoever they touched. The fallen angels cast shadows all over the land and it became pitch black, they hid in Selaphiel's smoke and threw their spears at the humans while Azrael destroyed their souls and Abaddon summoned black flames enchanted with dark magic that destroyed everything alongside locusts that ate all of the crops. Volvox moved the humans around with his telekinesis and had them shield his army to prevent the humans from attacking and they attacked and killed them, the zombies bit and turned them, the skeletons slashed them with their swords, the mummies turned the humans into dust with their magic, the ghosts of other creatures absorbed and destroyed the human ghosts, the elves shot arrows into them, the fairies cast fire magic, the dwarfs attacked with their axes, the vampires sucked their bloods out, the werewolves, were-bears, were-lions, were-tigers, were-honey badgers, trolls, onikumas, mngwas, Nemean Lion, nandi bears, and Erymanthian Boar attacked with their claws, teeth, and tusks, the ghouls and wendigoes ripped the humans apart and ate them, the goblins, alps, and Dover Demon jumped on the humans and clawed them, and the cyclopes attacked them with wooden clubs. The humans tried to run away but Volvox used his telekinesis to move the Basilisk, his Cockatrice, Catoblepas, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa around, those who looked into Catoblepas', Stheno's, Euryale's, and Medusa's eyes' turned to stone while those who looked into the Basilisk's and his Cockatrice's eyes' dropped dead. The Mane Six got the Elements of Harmony while Star Swirl the Bearded, Flash Magnus, Mistmane, Mage Meadowbrook, Somnambula, and Rockhoof got their elements but Sun Wukong quickly swooped by and took them, they exclaimed and Rainbow Dash flew after him. She chased him through the sky and soon did a sonic rainboom, she flew after him but looked on in shock when she saw he was still faster than her, Sun Wukong's staff stretched out to massive lengths and he swung it around, Rainbow Dash dodged his attacks and the Sluagh swarmed her, "Get... off... of me!" Rainbow Dash fumed while she swatted them away, she continued chasing Sun Wukong and the ōkubis began blowing their breaths to knock her off course, she groaned while their breaths made her feel sick, she flew to them and punched them and then continued chasing Sun Wukong. She continued flying after him and harpies and Stymphalian birds arrived and began biting and pecking her, "Get off! Get off of me!" Rainbow Dash hollered as she punched them away, she continued going after Sun Wukong and Volvox's sirens flew to her and began singing, the male humans entered a trance while they tried to grab and restrain Rainbow Dash, she punched and kicked them away and kept flying. Swan maidens flew up next and they surrounded Rainbow Dash, they grabbed her and the changed to humans, they weighed her down and she threw them forward while Sun Wukong strafed and dodged them easily. Volvox's griffon, Volvox's hippogriff, and the Caucasian Eagle flew after her next and flew very fast, the hippogriff caught up to Rainbow Dash quickly and began pecking her with its beak and kicking her with its hind legs, the griffon caught up to her and grabbed her with its talons and began pecking her head with its beak, the Caucasian Eagle arrived and it began biting her, Rainbow Dash spun around and got them off of herself and continued pursuing Sun Wukong. She continued flying after him and she saw shadows engulf her, she looked up and back and saw the Kongamato, Volvox's Roc, and the Piasa flying to her, they flew to her and the Kongamato began trying to cut her with its talons and biting her while the Roc grabbed her with its talons and the Piasa held her with its talons and began biting her, Rainbow Dash screamed in pain and was unable to shake them off, Star Swirl the Bearded and Twilight Sparkle saw her slow down and shot beams at them to shoot them off, they then tried to get Sun Wukong but he was too fast. Rainbow Dash saw Sun Wukong turning and smiled at seeing a possible chance of catching him, she flew to him as fast as she could and saw he was close to her, she heard fire and electricity crackling from behind and a swirl of red fire and blue lightning surrounded her, she looked back and saw Phoenix and Thunderbird coming, she rolled around and continued chasing Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong noticed the unicorns and alicorns down below trying to cast spells on him but he moved too fast for them to focus on him, he extended his staff and tried to smack the people below him, they moved out of the way while he destroyed the ground, he looked back and saw Rainbow Dash was still chasing him with Phoenix and Thunderbird behind her, they shot fire and lightning at her and she continued rolling around and dodging them, the two birds stopped shooting from their mouths and began shooting fire and lightning from their wings, Rainbow Dash flew up higher and dodged them. Sun Wukong stretched his staff out and got ready to smack Rainbow Dash out of the air, she flew to the side and dodged it, he quickly rode on his nimbus cloud and continued trying to smack her away with his staff but she dodged each attack. She began to catching up to him and shrieked when cuts suddenly appeared on her, the tengus surrounded her and they began doing lightning fast slashes with their swords and cut her knees and wing joints, she screamed when she began to fall and Starlight Glimmer quickly cast a healing spell and she could fly again, she punched the tengus away but continued receiving painless cuts, Twilight Sparkle used his telekinesis and caught the kamaitachis that were riding on the winds and cutting Rainbow Dash with her sickles, she teleported them elsewhere. She continued pursuing Sun Wukong but exclaimed when the Gashadokuro suddenly emerged and roared, she covered her ears and it tried to swat her and bite her but she dodged it easily due to how slow it was, she went past it and Typhon emerged next. Rainbow Dash shrieked and Typhon quickly shot fire and venom out of his eyes' and mouths at her, she flew to her left and Ladon appeared, his hundred heads tried to eat her and she flew back, she saw Ziz up ahead, he flapped his wings and created very powerful gusts and Rainbow Dash quickly flew to her right and dodged them, she saw Sun Wukong up ahead and rammed him out of the sky. Rainbow Dash and Sun Wukong fell onto a mountain and Twilight Sparkle teleported herself, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack to their location, Sun Wukong swung and extended his staff and destroyed the world again, they dodged his attacks while Pinkie Pie tried to get the elements back and Sun Wukong rode away on his cloud, "Oh, no, ya don't." Applejack said while she spun her lasso and threw it around him, "Whoa!" Applejack exclaimed when she fell over and her lasso broke, Twilight Sparkle could not get a hold on Sun Wukong with her magic while Pinkie Pie tried to sneak and get the elements but could not, Sun Wukong laughed and stretched his staff out to attack the world's natives, Rainbow Dash flew while he was distracted and got the elements back, he looked on baffled while the ponies left. They arrived to the others and saw the humans trying to hide in the waters, they heard screaming and saw the humans in the waters get attacked, the kappas tore and ate them, the nure-onnas drained their blood with their tongues, the Ushi-oni breathed toxic breath and ate the humans, the ningyos ate any human they encountered in the water, Volvox's Bunyip ate any human near it, the Thetis Lake Monster slashed the humans with its claws and bit into them with its fangs, the Nuckelavee picked up and carried humans into the waters while its breath killed crops and made others sick, the Kelpie grabbed people with its mouth and put them on its back, they got stuck and it went into the water and drowned them, and Scylla grabbed the humans with her six mouths and ate them with three of her heads while the other three threw them into Charybdis and she sucked them in. Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Star Swirl the Bearded, Flash Magnus, Mistmane, Mage Meadowbrook, Somnambula, and Rockhoof got ready to use their elements but they exclaimed when projectiles went past them, they looked at one of the water bodies and saw mermen, mermaids, and ningens throwing tridents at them, the unicorns held them with their telekinesis and shot the tridents back, Foras' invincibility spell protected them from harm. The Mane Six and Pillars floated up into the sky and shot a big rainbow blast throughout the world, the invisibility spells, Foras' invincibility spell, and Alloces' immortality spell became undone and the unicorns stopped casting spells to make the invaders visible. Volvox sent the Nemean Lion, Catoblepas and the Stymphalian birds to fight the humans and none of their weapons could damage their bodies, the unicorns and kirins cast magic on them and changed them to regular animals, Volvox quickly moved them away with his telekinesis. Boogeyman and the Popobawa changed into various monsters but the unicorns changed them around, they turned into ghosts and they realized their magic could no longer affect them, they began possessing the humans and made them attack the others while jumping from host to host, Volvox and his army saw the humans were close to extinction and one group sat on their knees' while a man waved a white flag, "Please, no more, we surrender." the man said while he waved the white flag, Volvox shot hellfire blasts out of his three mouths and obliterated the group, they screamed while the world's natives gasped in horror, "Withdraw for now." Volvox ordered, and all of them went under the ground. Twilight Sparkle looked and saw only a few humans remained, they grieved their loved ones while she and the world's natives looked for survivors, they heard a scream and looked, "No!" Ocellus exclaimed, they looked and saw the body of Pharynx alongside several changelings, they kept searching and also found the bodies of DJ Pon-3, Octavia, Photo Finish, Daisy, Lily Valley, Spitfire, Garble, Gilda, Gabby, Skybeak, Ocean Flow, Terramar, General Seaspray, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, and Rain Shine, "*scream* NO!! Mom! Dad! Little brother! Cousin! Auntie! General!" Silverstream hollered, and she held them and cried, the others went over and grieved while Discord and the dragons and Gallus just stood back and watched, "Wow, we don't cry over lost ones in Griffonstone." Gallus stated, "Neither do dragons, we considered grieving to be for the weak." Smolder replied, "You going to miss your brother?" Gallus asked, "Yeah, but I'm not crying because it is how us dragons are raised." Smolder explained, and they continued watching the others grieve while Princess Ember began to lose her patience on how long the ponies grieved, "Come on already! We have to fortify and get ready for the next attack!" Princess Ember vented, "We're not ready yet!" Pinkie Pie fumed, "It doesn't matter if you're ready or not! We got work to do whehter you like it or not!" Princess Ember countered, Pinkie Pie growled, "I'll go ahead and help." Rainbow Dash said, "No, I wanna do a group grieving event." Pinkie Pie stated, "Now ain't the time, Pinkie, we have to get ready." Applejack replied, Pinkie Pie looked down and everybody began working. Volvox and his army were underground and watching the world, "Why didn't you all mention those rainbow beams that disabled some of our spells?" Volvox inquired, "It didn't appear in our visions." Marchosias explained, "Yes, it looks like this world might have artifacts that are immune to being seen by our future visions." Vual added, "Do we continue as planned, Volvox?" an incubus asked, "There will be a slight change of plans, I will send those who have hides and bodies that are immune to the humans' weapons from now on, although it might be risky since the gods, angels, fallen angels, and demons do not obey me and Typhon's children only listen to Typhon." Volvox responded, "To be honest with you, Volvox, we follow your orders for now since your suggestions have actually been pretty effective, we would disobey completely if you proved to be a poor planner and unable to fight." Odin remarked, "What do we do after we conquer and destroy this land, master?" a Valkyrie asked, "Same as before, we train and try to get stronger." Odin replied, "Don't forget that orange horse with the red hair is from another world full of humans, we destroy that place after we're done with this world." Huitzilopochtli reminded, "I have looked into that world, there are almost no magic users in that world, it's much weaker and less prepared to deal with a threat like us, that world has human counterparts of this world's natives, destroying them will be easy compared to here." Paimon remarked, "How do we enter that world?" Dommiel asked, "The Outer Gods will be here soon, they will open portals to that world for us to enter." Barbatos answered, "Good, it looked like some kind of mirror was used to bring that oragne horse into this world, it's too small for almost all of us to fit through." Tom said, "We'll worry about it later, right now, we need to find a way to restore Foras' magic since those gems and the pink horse and her family managed to bypass it, let's rest for now as well." Volvox said, "What are the natives doing right now?" Beelzebub questioned, "Three enemies should be being freed from stone right now." Vual responded, and all of them rested. The world's natives and humans rebuilt and fortified the world while Doctor Whooves messed with his time machine, "What is it, Doctor?" Derpy asked, "I'm not sure if I should continue to build this time machine or not, considering our enemies have members who can see future events, they likely already know about it." Doctor Whooves answered, "I suggest you destroy it so they can't use it." Tempest Shadow stated, "Agreed, it risks bringing our enemies' creatures here, too." Grubber added, "Do you all have any spells that can hide the machine from future seers?" Doctor Whooves requested, "Well, we can try, but it's probably too late now." Princess Luna warned, "I think we should, I plan to hide it." Doctor Whooves said, "Good idea, we can use it as a last resort if things get worse." Princess Celestia replied, and the alicorns cast a spell on it, "Let's go ahead and put it in my realm." Discord remarked, "Hold on, how do we know you're not planning to keep it to yourself?" Starlight Glimmer questioned, "I have changed, I truly have, and I promise, if it's required, I'll transfer you all to my realm." Discord reassured, "Okay, but you better keep it." Doctor Whooves said, and his time machine was put into Discord's realm, "We're getting short on people who can fight, I hate to suggest this, but we might have to free Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow to help us." Shining Armor stated, the others looked at him with disbelief, "Darling, you can't be serious." Princess Cadance said, "I know it's something none of you want, but at this rate, we will lose, we can use any help we can get." Shining Armor remarked, "Things are getting desperate, maybe we can use some kind of restraining spell on them so they don't try anything." Sunburst suggested, "I agree, we should put power limiters on them, no doubt they will try to betray and destroy us." Star Swirl the Bearded added, "Well, it's a risky move, but I think they would rather have a land to conquer and rule than have it all destroyed and all of us extinct, I guess we can free them, but restrain them and keep an eye on them at all times." Princess Celestia ordered, the others agreed, "Well, let's go ahead and free them, though I bet they're going to attack us in a fit of rage when we free them for putting them in stone." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "No worries, Twilight, they are unconscious and unaware of their surroundings in the stone, they won't remember any of it when freed." Princess Luna responded, "Oh, I see, let's go ahead and free them." Twilight Sparkle said, and they went. The world's natives and humans arrived at the statues of Queen Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow, "This is them?" a human woman asked, "That small horse with wings there looks harmless." a male human remarked, "That's Cozy Glow, don't be fooled by her looks and name, she's actually a very skilled manipulator." Twilight Sparkle warned, "It looks like that creature there who looks a bit like the kelpie is the strongest among them." a second male human stated, "That's Queen Chrysalis, she's the former ruler of the changelings, she's a shapeshifter, too, and that last guy is Tirek, he's depowered right now, he looks completely different when he absorbs magic, and when he does, he's easily the strongest of the three." Twilight Sparkle explained, "Does everyone have their spells ready?" Princess Celestia asked, the unicorns' horns had magic auras of various colors around them, she, Princess Luna, and Discord then shot beams out and freed them. Queen Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow groaned, "What happened?" Cozy Glow asked, "Strange, all I remember if we were going to take over Equestria and the world with Discord's magic, but we lost and got depowered, I don't remember what happened after that." Queen Chrysalis stated, "Well, we're free now, I guess we should power up and try again." Tirek suggested, magic chains appeared around them and they exclaimed, "I am going to make myself very clear, you three were only released because our world is threatened by a huge army of invaders made up of many different creatures with many different powers, almost every native of this world has fallen and you three have been released in a desperate move to stop the invaders and save this world from destruction and extinction." Princess Celestia explained, "What? Why exactly would I team up with you and your subjects?" Queen Chrysalis inquired, "Because you'll have a better chance of surviving against the invaders than on your own." Princess Luna remarked, "What invaders? I do not see any." Tirek commented, "But the world sure is different from what I remember." Cozy Glow replied, Queen Chrysalis and Tirek looked around and saw the changed world, "I added some touches of my own to improve it after near total destruction." Discord explained, "You! You traitor!" Queen Chrysalis fumed as she tried to lunge and attack him but the chains restrained her, "You three will be restrained and watched at all times while you are out of stone, we didn't wish to do this, but this entire world risks total destruction and extinction at the moment." Princess Celestia explained, Queen Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow growled, "We will empower you all when the next attack starts, but you three better not try anythng funny." Princess Luna warned, Queen Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow grumbled, Igneous Rock Pie, Cloudy Quartz, Limestone Pie, Maud Pie, Pinkie Pie, and Marble Pie watched them while the others fortified the world. Volvox and his army were watching the world while recovering, "We should've destroyed the statues of those three earlier." Dommiel remarked, "No worries, they're still depowered, they won't stand a chance against us at this rate." Volvox stated, "We still must plan something with Discord, it seems our powers are immune on him." Paimon said, "Azathoth and his gods will be coming here during our next attack, hopefully, he will be strong enough to take him out." Barbatos replied, "That reminds me, if it's required, I would like all of the archangels, princes of Hell, and gods to work with me and fuse our attacks together into one attack if that is what is required to destroy him." Volvox said, "I think just me and Azathoth combining our powers will be enough." Typhon remarked, "I'd rather not take any chances." Volvox responded, "Neither will the Maker, should we fail one way or another, it will attack this world itself." Michael stated, "Let us get ready to attack tonight, let's hope our next attack will end this world." Volvox said, and everybody got ready to attack again. The Mane Six, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and the Pillars went to go visit the Tree of Harmony, "You think the Elements of Harmony might work again?" Mistmane asked, "We haven't tried, but considering your and our elements shot out a rainbow blast on the last fight, and the tree is bigger than before, I think they will." Rainbow Dash stated, "But remember what the humans said, the Princes have seven elements: pride, envy, greed, gluttony, sloth, lust, and wrath, we're one short if we just use our group's Elements of Harmony, there's no tellin' how strong they are, either." Applejack reminded, "You all got me, I represent the element of empathy, the Pillars are here, too, so we have a total of thirteen elements." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Remember, that eight headed creature, Orochi, was said to be eight elements himself: fire, water, earth, wind, lightning, wood, metal, and void, whatever that is, they still have more than us combined." Flash Magnus said, "Can you humans come here for a minute?" Sunset Shimmer requested, and they did, "Are there anymore of these elements our enemies have?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Well, only Orochi has weapons, we're not sure if the seven archangels represent anything or not." a male human answered, "This may be the first time ever in history where we have to combine the Elements of Harmony, Tree of Harmony, Rainbow Power, Pillar elements, alicorn magic, and Discord's magic together." Star Swirl the Bearded stated, "Anything to stop the invaders." Starlight Glimmer responded, "Alright, go ahead and take your element gems." Star Swirl the Bearded said, the Mane Six did and they left the place. Tirek tried absorbing magic from others far away while Queen Chrysalis tried absorbing love from the other countries around her, "Guys, those two are acting a bit funny." Autumn Blaze reported, everybody looked at them and saw what they were trying to do, "I'm not surprised, the Royal Sisters will likely empower them when our invaders attack us next time." King Thorax said, "Thorax, you traitor! I ought to have your head! You will be punished severely for betraying your queen!" Queen Chrysalis thundered, and she tried absorbing love from the people nearby, "What is she doing?" a male human asked, "She absorbs and takes love from others to empower herself." Ocellus explained, "So she's like a succubus." a second male human remarked, "A succubus?! How dare you refer to me as such! I am a changeling!" Queen Chrysalis fumed, "So this is your former ruler?" a female human asked, "Yes, we overthrew her after we discovered she was starving us on purpose." King Thorax explained, "What happened afterwards?" the woman questioned, "She ran away after the ponies here offered her friendship and she rejected it, and she was living in exile until she reemerged with those two one day." a male changeling answered, "Exiled? Lucky her, Volvox and his subjects would've killed her if they were the ones who overthrew her." a second female human commented, Queen Chrysalis reeled back in horror, "Volvox? Is that the invader's name?" Tirek asked, "There are many invaders, Volvox is the leader of them all." the first man replied, "Still, a bit strange, in my world, one of the microscopic organisms is called a volvox." Sunset Shimmer commented, "Could it be named after him?" the second man asked, "I doubt it, I never saw any creature like him in my world." Sunset Shimmer replied, "So, what am I supposed to do, I can't fight, I'm just a filly." Cozy Glow said, "Well, maybe you can try to convince and persuade Volvox to make a truce with us." Sweetie Belle suggested, "No, we already tried that before we came here, Volvox and his army killed the messengers." a third male human said, "Well, I'm not surprised, you all look weak when compared to us." Queen Chrysalis remarked, "Well, there's no point in sittin' here and just talkin', we gotta fortify so we can survive." Apple Bloom said, "Yeah, we got harvests and crops to tend to, too." Scootaloo added, and they got back to work. Twilight Sparkle and the others came back and everybody worked together to rebuild, grow and harvest food, and watched Queen Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow. Volvox and his army were watching the world's natives and humans and saw them getting tired and they got ready to sleep, "Get ready, everyone, let's see if we can wipe them all out this time." Volvox said, and they got ready to attack. Everybody stayed awake and kept their guards up while sleeping lightly, Tempest Shadow stayed the most alert and patrolled everything, she noticed the nymphs coming, "Everybody, to arms, they're here!" Tempest Shadow announced, and everybody stood up. The nymphs began using powers to control the land, the oreads made mountains and grottoes appear, the naiads shot and controlled water from rivers, springs, and waterfalls, the nereids and oceanids controlled water from the sea, the alseids controlled the plants in glens and groves, the auloniads controlled the plants in mountain pastures and vales, the leimakids controlled the plants in meadows, the napaeas controlled everything in wooden valleys, the anthousais controlled all of the world's flowers and pollen, the dryads made trees appear and controlled them, the hamadryads made their specific trees appear in certain areas to block others and smash them, the hyleorois controlled all of the plants and trees in the world's various woods', and Nephele floated through the air and various clouds appeared and covered the world in storms and hail while she teleported around from cloud to cloud. The world's natives struggled against the nymphs' various powers being used at once and Discord used his powers to change the land around and cancel out their powers, strong winds blew Nephele's storms and hail everywhere while lightning appeared everywhere, everybody looked and saw Fujin and Raijin in the sky, they used their powers to create a storm around the world and Princess Celestia and Princess Luna used their magic to reduce it. Shining Armor, Princess Cadance, and Flurry Heart put up shields while Tirek saw the various monsters appearing and depowered them by absorbing their magic into himself, he became full power and began fighting while Queen Chrysalis shot blasts out and Cozy Glow hid and cowered. The humans tried fighting the creatures and managed to take down several of the prehistoric fauna while the orcs, dwarfs, were-beasts, trolls, ogres, and onis overpowered them, the mu-onnas' bodies opened down the center and they smashed humans between their two halves while fusing back together, the Hone-onna grabbed men forcefully and kissed them to suck their life forces out, Volvox's Manticore stayed a safe distance away from everyone and shot poisonous darts out of its tail in all directions, the Jersey Devil flew around and slashed and bit any human it came across, the Chupacabra ran at blinding speeds and bit the humans and drank their blood, the namahages slashed people apart with their giant cleavers, the Tsuchinoko jumped and rolled around and bit its venomous fangs into any humans it passed by, and Onihitokuchi picked up and ate people. The centuars tried to fight Tirek but he overpowered them with his strength easily, they began shooting arrows at him but he shot blasts from his hands and between his horns and obliterated them, the satyrs played reed flutes and controlled nature with them magically, they tried to restrain him and Queen Chrysalis but they broke out easily and Queen Chrysalis absorbed love out of them and shot zaps at them, she then absorbed love out of the incubi and succubi and weakened them. The draugr tried attacking everybody but Tirek absorbed their magic and depowered them, he then absorbed magic out of the zombies, mummies, skeletons, angels, fallen angels, demons, kitsunes, tanukis, bakenekoes, nekomatas, and mujinas, he then shot more fire out and destroyed them except for the angels, fallen angels, and demons. Tirek and Queen Chrysalis heard very quiet rustling and listened, the sounds got softer while they thought the creatures were farther away, they then got bitten by wakwaks alongside Cozy Glow, Cozy Glow screamed while Tirek swatted them away and Queen Chrysalis shot zaps at them, "You dare use such dirty tricks on me?! I will not be taken down by cheap shots!" Queen Chrysalis hollered, the ekeks then ganged up on her and tried to drink her blood, she transformed into a big dragon and smashed them, she then reverted back. The humans heard a peaceful river stream nearby and saw it, it looked peaceful and okay to hide for a short time, some of them ran into it and nothing happened, they heard the Azukiarai laugh and the waters got violent, Scylla grabbed the remaining humans and threw them into the water, they tried to get out but the Mongolian Death Worm slithered on the ground and shot an electrical shock into the water, it electrified the water and paralyzed the humans. Volvox moved the Bake-kujira, Isonade, and Morgawr into the waters and they began eating the humans. The hippogriffs flew to get the humans and Volvox used his telekinesis to put more of his creatures in the nearby waters, the Loch Ness Monster, Issie, and Mizuchi tried to eat them while the umi-bōzus tried to either grab the hippogriffs or slam them into the ground, some hippogriffs got hit while others flew past them, Ikuchi rose out of one water body and used its very long body to entangle the humans and hippogriffs. Daring Do ran to go help them and got attacked by the yadōkais, they said incantations that caused fire to float around them and they homed on Daring Do, "What the? Are they... monks?" Daring Do asked, the flames homed on her and the yadōkais floated to her while also appearing and disappearing at random, she jumped around and dodged the fire while an illusion was cast and she was stuck in the middle of a forest. The yadōkais began attacking her with their staffs and she blocked, parried, dodged, and redirected each attack, the floating flames touched and burned her and Daring Do screamed, she heard voices in the flames and realized they were spirits, she saw the yadōkais were about to attack her again and she quickly punched and kicked them away. The illusion did not go down and she realized there were more monsters waiting for her, "Come out! I know you're there!" Daring Do ordered, a tsuchigumo's legs burst out of the ground and grabbed her, she grunted loudly while it emerged from the ground and she looked on in shock at its size, twenty nine more tsuchigumos came out of the ground and crawled to her. Daring Do looked at them carefully and deduced they behave like regular spiders, the nearest tsuchogumo tried to bite her with its fangs and she ran under it, four nearby tsuchigumos began shooting web at her and she jumped around and made them shoot webs at one another, they got tangled by they stretched their legs out and broke out of them. Daring Do wondered about something while the tsuchigumos ran after her, she waited for one to lower its head and she jumped on it hard, it got stunned but it did not undo the illusion, she jumped around and slammed her hoofs on the other twenty nine tsuchigumos and the illusion disappeared after she hit the last one, Daring Do smiled and ran forward. She ran to where the hippogriffs and humans were and saw the Pegasi have arrived to help and they had trouble, she ran but stopped when the Jorōgumo and her spiders crawled to her, "Ugh, more spiders?" Daring Do exclaimed, the Jorōgumo's spiders began breathing fire and she jumped back, she looked at the water bodies past her and ran to one. The Jorōgumo shot webs out of her wrists and Daring Do jumped forward while the webs entangled four tsuchigumos and they could not break out of it, Daring Do picked up a rock and threw it at the Jorōgumo, she ducked and dodged it while Daring Do threw more rocks at her and hid in the woods. The Jorōgumo's spiders breathed fire and began burning them down, they could not find Daring Do, she jumped from a tree and landed on one spider and squashed it, she then jumped and squashed the other five spiders. The Jorōgumo threw her dead spiders away and she got on all fours, her lower-body transformed into a spider's body while Daring Do looked on in shock, the Jorōgumo crawled to her while her legs slashed the trees open and she shot webs out of her mouth and abdomen. Daring Do ran and jumped and laid on her abdomen to dodge the webs and the Jorōgumo proceeded to crawl forward and tried to trample her, she quickly got up and ran, she jumped onto a tree branch and the Jorōgumo cut it down with her leg, Daring Do jumped to another tree and the Jorōgumo cut it down, she quickly jumped down and pushed it in a different direction and made it fall on the Jorōgumo, she got squashed and Daring Do ran forward. Daring Do arrived at where the humans, Pegasi, and hippogriffs were and saw the Lambton Worm coming to her, it turned around and swung a tree with its tail like a club, Daring Do ran away and the Lambton Worm chased her, she ran but shrieked and stepped back when electrical zaps came out of the ground and the Mongolian Death Worm came out. Daring Do looked back and forth fearfully while the two worms closed in on her, the Mongolian Death Worm shot venom out of its mouth and she quickly ran to the side and the Lambton Worm slid to in front of her to block her path, she jumped on its body and went past it, the Lambton Worm tried to smash her with the tree held by its tail and she exclaimed while jumping forward to dodge the attacks. She heard the Mongolian Death Worm coming and saw every grass, flower, and plant that touched it wither and die, "its body must be poisonous to touch." Daring Do deduced, the Mongolian Death Worm then shot more lightning zaps and venom out of its mouth, she got an idea and ran to the Lambton Worm, she jumped over it and the Mongolian Death Worm's venom and zaps hit it, it got paralyzed for a second and continued moving again, "What?" Daring Do asked, the Pegasi and hippogriffs picked up and threw rocks at it and cut the Lambton Worm but its wounds healed immediately, "Regeneration?" Daring Do commented while the Pegasi and hippogriffs had shocked expressions. Daring Do ran and looked for something she could use to help, the Laestrygonians emerged from the big water bodies and tried to grab and eat her, "Wait, that gives me an idea." Daring Do said, and she waited for the two worms to come while avoiding the Laestrygonians, the two worms arrived and the Laestrygonians grabbed and held them while Daring Do jumped around and dodged them, she ran past them and to the humans. She carried some of the humans and helped the Pegasi and hippogriffs carry them, they worked together and carried them back to the others. The world's natives struggled to fight off their attackers while they destroyed everything, the Penanggalan, Aswang, Manananggal, Mothman, and Owlman flew around and attacked everybody, Nue summoned lightning and a storm, Spring-heeled Jack jumped around and slashed people with his claws, Balor and the Formorians attacked everyone with various weapons, the Satori read minds to predict the next attacks while overpowering his attackers with his raw strength, Goatman slashed everyone with his axe, and Lou Carcolh grabbed the world's natives and humans with its tentacles and ate them. Aim, Furcas, and Amy made the world's natives' forts and buildings catch on fire while Tarasque set anything its feet touched on fire, the onibis, tenkas, and will-o'-the-wisps floated around and anything they touched caught on fire, the kechibis floated everywhere and shot fireballs out of their mouths, Rōjinbi ran around and set everything in his path on fire, Typhon's Chimera, the Colchian Dragon, and Wanyūdō breathed fire everywhere, and Enenra floated around and suffocated the humans with its smoke. Autumn Blaze changed to her nirik form and became immune to the enemies' fires, she threw the invaders' around with her telekinesis and kicked the smaller ones away, Volvox shot his hellfire blasts at her from under the ground and it had very little effect on her, the yuki-onnas floated to her and breathed their ice breaths on her, Autumn Blaze screamed while her flames got extinguished and began to freeze her. The Ōmukade and Grootslang constricted around the dragons and tried to entangle them, Dragon Lord Torch grunted loudly while he picked them up and threw them away, they stood back up and began coming back, Tirek absorbed the Grootslang's magic while Queen Chrysalis shot blasts at the Ōmukade and made it fall over. Volvox's Minotaur wrestled with Princess Ember and she struggled to break free from its enourmous strength while her armor and scales protected her from his claws, she grunted while she tried to throw it off but could not, Dragon Lord Torch grabbed Volvox's Minotaur's head and threw him far away, Princess Ember panted heavily and brushed herself off and continued fighting. Everybody continued struggling and big explosions suddenly appeared, everybody looked and saw Tirek fighting Yamata-no-Orochi, its eight heads shot out a different element, one head shot out fire, one shot water, one shot rocks, one shot wind gusts, one shot lightning bolts, one shot wooden shards, one shot metal shards, and one shot a light blue stream with screaming souls in it, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna flew over to go fight it while Tirek held his own against it. They cast the same elements as Orochi to counter and cancel its attacks, Princess Celestia canceled Orochi's fire with water, water with fire, earth with wind, and wind with earth, Princess Luna canceled Orochi's lightning by putting up a rubber shield, wood with fire, and metal with stronger fire, they realized they did not have an element to counter and cancel void, Orochi's last head shot spiritual blasts everywhere and it destroyed the land, those who got killed were absorbed into it while the Pixiu either controlled or destroyed some of the dead souls and shot gold, silver, and jewels that cut and pelted the humans and world's natives. Tirek tried absorbing Orochi's magic and realized it had too much for him to handle, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna shot non-elemental blasts at Orochi and they got into a deadlock with his eight elemental breaths, Tirek shot a blast from between his horns and another from his hands and Orochi screeched while it fell over. Tirek laughed and a hundred fire and venom blasts were shot at him, he screamed and then felt very powerful wind gusts and earthquakes happening, he growled and looked forward but looked in horror and froze in fear when he saw Typhon in front of him, "Wow, even Tirek is scared of Typhon." Spike remarked, everybody saw Queen Chrysalis looking at Typhon with fear and horror as well and her legs were shaking, Typhon caused volcanic eruptions, wind gusts, and earthquakes to appear everywhere while also shooting fire and venom out of his mouths and smashing anyone nearby with his hands and feet. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna had big auras on their horns appear and the sun and moon glowed brightly, they then transformed into Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker, Daybreaker shot orange fire out of her horn while also shooting orange fire blasts out of the sun and Nightmare Moon shot a light blue blast out of her horn alongside yellow fire from the moon while also summoning lightning, all of them hit Typhon but went up in smoke while he did not react, "What?! Tis impossible!" Nightmare Moon hollered, he punched Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker and they screamed while they fell onto the ground. They got back up and shot blasts at him alongside Tirek, he gathered them into a ball between his hands and threw it back, everybody moved away and the ball of magic destroyed much of the land. Discord and Queen Chrysalis went over to help and Discord tried using his chaos magic to fool Typhon while Queen Chrysalis transformed into a bugbear, Typhon snickered and smashed Queen Chrysalis with his hand, he heard her transforming and quickly moved his hand away, Tirek shot two blasts at him and they went up in smoke when they touched his body. The Pillars went over to help and Star Swirl the Bearded tried casting magic shields on him while Stygian transformed into the Pony of Shadows, he shot black blasts out of his horn at him and Typhon caused earthquakes that made the land creatures fall while the flying creatures flew, the dragons breathed fire at Typhon while Twilight Sparkle, Princess Cadance, and Flurry Heart shot big blasts at him, Shining Armor, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer stood up and shot blasts out of their horns while Sunset Shimmer shot fire. Typhon summoned wind gusts to blow the fire back and everybody screamed while running away, Daybreaker, Nightmare Moon, Princess Cadance, Twilight Sparkle, Flurry Heart, Shining Armor, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Trixie, Star Swirl the Bearded, Mistmane, Discord, Queen Chrysalis, Tirek, and the Pony of Shadows shot blasts at Typhon together and it still had no effect on him, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Spike, Smolder, and the other dragons then shot fire breaths at him and he was still unharmed, Typhon snickered until Igneous Rock Pie, Cloudy Quartz, Limestone Pie, Maud Pie, Pinkie Pie, Marble Pie, and Rockhoof combined their strengths together and threw a mountain on him. Everybody smiled until Typhon stood up and threw the mountain into the sky, everybody looked on in disbelief while others screamed while the mountain fell, Tempest Shadow jumped forward and barely dodged it while Grubber and the Storm Guards got squashed by it, "GRUBBER!!" Tempest Shadow yelled, there was no response, she looked down while everybody else continued fighting Typhon. Flash Magnus, Rainbow Dash, and the Wonderbolts led the Pegasi in an attack formation against Typhon but the Ittan-momen flew forward and wrapped the Pegasi in its cloth body, they let out muffled grunts and struggled to break free, Princess Ember and the smaller dragons breathed fire on it, the Ittan-momen quickly flew away and burned to ashes. Typhon's Sphinx flew forward next and she began biting and clawing the Pegasi, dragons, changelings, and hippogriffs while also biting with her serpent tail and injecting them with paralyzing venom, the humans shot fire arrows at her and Typhon's Sphinx quickly flew away while the dragons breathed fire at her. The Raijū summoned lightning and shot it at the others, the Pegasi flew with clouds and absorbed it, Tirek absorbed its magic and depowered it. Everybody arrived at Typhon and he shot them away with powerful wind gusts and everybody exclaimed, the Kraken emerged from the waters and tried to attack the flying creatures with its tentacles, they flew around it and went to Typhon, the Pegasi pressed on clouds to shoot lightning zaps at him but it did no harm. The Bakunawa flew through the sky and blocked the sun while causing a downpour, earthquakes, and tornadoes, everybody screamed while Daybreaker laughed and used her magic to heat up the sun, she shot a blast out of it and set the Bakunawa on fire, it panicked and slithered away. Talos and Behemoth emerged out of the ground and attacked the flying creatures, Behemoth swatted them out of the sky while Talos grabbed and held them in one hand and swung a sword in his other hand at the other creatures and they flew back while shrieking, "Hey! A little help here?!" Twilight Sparkle requested, her jaw dropped when she saw the others on the land fighting their own enemies, White Rider shot arrows everywhere at a rapid rate, Red Rider slashed people with his sword, Black Rider made crops wither and die with his scales while trampling people with his horse, Pale Rider slashed people with his scythe and stole their souls, the Headless Horseman attacked people with his axe and trampled them with his horse, and Dullahan destroyed everything and attacked people with his sword and ran over others with his horse. The humans tried to fight off Typhon's Hydra but it grew two new heads every time one head was cut off, its center head breathed fire while its other eight heads breathed toxic gas, Typhon's Orthrus bit down on the humans' weapons and broke them while breathing fire out of its two mouths and its serpent tail bit people and injected them with venom, Typhon's Cerberus bit down on the humans while also breathing fire out of its three mouths, melted stuff with its acidic saliva, and the serpents on its necks and the serpent for its tail bit people and injected venom into them, and the Azhi Dahaka ate its enemies while those who managed to cut it made venomous snakes, spiders, scorpions and lizards fall out of its body and attacked everybody. Everybody struggled and the ground burst open and the rest of the invaders appeared, Queen Chrysalis looked on in horror at Volvox's appearance while the creatures began attacking immediately. The humans and world's natives on land got attacked by many more creatures, Agares', Vassago's, and Sallos' crocodiles ate people while Agares' and Vassago's hawks kicked them. Samigina trampled people, Marbas and Valefor hunted, slashed, and bit the humans, Barbatos shot people with his rifle, Sitri flew around and slashed people with his claws. Beleth, Eligos, Bathin, Berith, Sabnock, Vine, Furcas, Alloces, Orias, and Kimaris trampled the humans with their horses. Leraje and Kimaris shot arrows with their bows and Leraje infected the humans with gangrene. Eligos attacked with his lance, Botis constricted the world's natives with his body, Bathin punched the humans and hit them with his tail. Purson's and Balam's bears mauled the world's natives. Morax rammed people with his horns, Aim's snake swallowed people whole, Glasya-Labolas flew around and bit the flying creatures, Astaroth's mount ate people while his snake bit people, Forneus ate the humans, Foras punched and kicked people.

Volvox and his army began attacking the entire world and the Pie family used their powers to take down the creatures while Tirek absorbed magic out of them and depowered some of Volvox's creatures, but he was unable to drain magic out of the angels, fallen angels, demons, and gods. Giovi teleported around while using his shadow magic to make the shadows of the world's natives and humans attack them, he also swung the blades on his hands around and sent out light red magic lines that cut anything they touched. Tom flew forward and led the creatures while he shot fire and lightning out of his mouth while flapping his wings to create powerful wind gusts that destroyed property, Volvox and Dommiel provided cover fire from behind him with Dommiel shooting shadow blasts and Volvox shooting hellfire blasts. Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker combined their magic together and destroyed much of the world while Sunset Shimmer watched in shock, "Princess Celestia is capable of this much destruction?" Sunset Shimmer exclaimed, Daybreaker laughed very loudly, "Bow before me! I am the most powerful being in the universe! Those who do not will fall!" Daybreaker declared, Sunset Shimmer watched with discomfort while she set the world on fire. The humans screamed as they got destroyed and some of the Pixiu absorbed and destroyed their souls, the ponies watched in shock and Volvox shot hellfire blasts at them while they were distracted, they quickly regained their senses and the unicorns put up shields to block it. Tirek continued depowering Volvox's magical creatures and shot big blasts that destroyed some of them and Queen Chrysalis shot big blasts at the prehistoric fauna and reduced them to ashes, white lightning appeared in the sky and the sky distorted, "What's goin' on?" Applejack asked, "Something's coming into our world." Doctor Whooves replied, a white flash appeared and Azathoth, Cxaxukluth, Daoloth, Ghroth, Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, Tulzscha, Yibb-Tstll, and Yog-Sothoth appeared. The humans and world's natives screamed in horror at their appearances, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. It's the Outer Gods!" a man exclaimed, "What do we do?! We never fought them before! We don't know what they're capable of!" a woman hollered, "About time you nine got here." Volvox remarked, "Sorry for the wait, let's wipe out these humans." Azathoth replied, and they attacked. Azathoth began moving around and his appearance was always changing and blurry, the world suddenly began disappearing alongside some of the natives and humans while he also erased their souls from existence, everybody looked on in horror, "What power!" Nightmare Moon exclaimed, "Oh, I don't think I can stand up to that." Discord commented, Azathoth tried to erase Discord from existence but he used his own magic to counter and avoid him. Cxaxukluth divided into a male half and a female half and they began eating the humans and world's natives, Daoloth grew bigger and shot psychic circles out of his brain, the humans became insane and began destroying themselves, "No! Stop!" Twilight Sparkle ordred as she tried to undo his powers, Ghroth opened its eye and volcanoes erupted, tidal waves, earthquakes, changing tides, and storms began as well, Nyarlathotep contacted the humans telepathically and drove them insane while making avatars of various appearances and powers of himself appear to attack the world, Shub-Niggurath laughed while she made monsters appear to attack, "Foolish mortals, you are powerless against us Outer Gods." Shub-Niggurath said while she made more monsters appear, Tulzscha burrowed itself into the world and then erupted out of the ground and its green fire spewed everywhere that began to make the world colder and the humans got sick, Yibb-Tstll had bat-like monsters fly off of her body and attack the humans and world's natives while black snowflakes came off of her and that stuck to the humans and world's natives and suffocated them, and Yog-Sothoth made avatars of himself that had various appearances and powers attack the humans and world's natives while he looked into the past, present, and future of all of existence. The humans and world's natives looked on in disbelief at how powerful the Outer Gods were while Azathoth continued erasing them from existence, Volvox shot red lightning out of his tail's tip to paralyze the humans and Azathoth erased them, everybody screamed and ran and flew away and Volvox threw the yellow seven-pointed organic stars on his spine around, they bounced off of surfaces and cut whatever they touched, the humans fell one by one and Hades, Osiris, Anubis, and the Pixiu destroyed their souls, "The humans, they're all gone." Tempest Shadow said, "No." Rainbow Dash stated, "We failed." Fluttershy lamented, "No, we still have to stop them, if we don't, the humans in my world are next." Sunset Shimmer stated, "Come on, everybody, we have no choice, we have to combine all of our defenses together." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they got ready to attack together. Daybreaker, Nightmare Moon, Princess Cadance, Flurry Heart, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Sunset Shimmer, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, Silverstream, Star Swirl the Bearded, Flash Magnus, Mage Meadowbrook, Mistmane, Somnambula, and Rockhoof all floated up into the air and combined their elements and alicorn powers together and shot a big blast out while Shining Armor, Starlight Glimmer, Discord, Queen Chrysalis, Tirek, and the Pony of Shadows shot their own blasts out from the ground and combined it with theirs. Their blast flew to their enemies but they exclaimed and almost got pushed back when a big blast hit theirs and almost shot them back, they looked and saw Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Selaphiel, Jegudiel, Barachiel, Azrael, Abaddon, Lucifer, Leviathan, Mammon, Beelzebub, Belphegor, Asmodeus, Satan, Zeus, Poseidon, Amphitrite, Hades, Persephone, Artemis, Typhon, Osiris, Amun, Ra, Khonshu, Anubis, Apep, Set, Odin, Thor, Vishnu, Bishamonten, Huitzilopochtli, Pazuzu, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Fujin, Raijin, Sun Wukong, Azathoth, Cxaxukluth, Daoloth, Ghroth, Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, Tulzscha, Yibb-Tstll, and Yog-Sothoth have combined their powers together to make a big blast of their own. The deadlock between the two blasts created a shockwave that hit the entire world and a huge earthquake that shook the entire world began. The world's natives struggled to repel the invaders' blast and the other unicorns joined in while the other invaders attacked those not shooting the blast. Volvox and the others began to push the world's natives' blasts back and Tempest Shadow tried kicking obsidian orbs to them, Volvox's other creatures stood in front of them to block it and they turned to stone, the earthquake began splitting the world into pieces and the dragons began breathing fire into the world's natives' blast in hopes of strengthening it, the Tree of Harmony sparkled and shot a blast out and it joined with the others. They struggled to repel the invaders' blast and they began to get tired, the invaders' blast went to them and they screamed when they got hit. The impact of the blast obliterated the world while the unicorns and alicorns quickly put up shields while the invaders went underground, the blast created a huge explosion alongside a mushroom cloud and put a crater in the ground that went down to the world's core while all of the land got obliterated by a giant shockwave, everything was barren while the world's natives looked around. Volvox and his invaders came back out and resumed attacking, "Now, let us obliterate them." Volvox ordered, and all of them attacked together. Volvox and his army attacked together and used their various powers to destroy the world, Doctor Whooves sprinted away while the others noticed him, "Satori, read his mind." Tom stated, and it did, "He has a time machine that has been enchanted with a spell to nullify our future seeing powers hidden in another realm, only that creature named Discord can open the portal." Satori explained, the portal opened and he went in while Sunset Shimmer flung Starlight Glimmer into it with her telekinesis, "I'll deal with them." Yog-Sothoth stated, and part of him disappeared. Doctor Whooves and Starlight Glimmer were in Discord's realm and got ready to activate the time machine, "Come on, Starlight Glimmer, we have to hurry, if possible, let's go back to before they arrived so we can warn the others and prepare accordingly." Doctor Whooves said, "I'm ready, I'll go ahead and start setting the coordinates for what time we go to." Starlight Glimmer replied, and she rested. Doctor Whooves got ready to turn it on but stopped when he saw Yog-Sothoth appear in the place as a bunch of glowing sphere of various sizes that were growing and shrinking randomly, "Great wickering stallions!" Doctor Whooves exclaimed, "You foolish mortal, I am anywhere and everywhere at the same time in all of existence, I can also see the past, present, and future of all of existence, you cannot hide anything from me, since you have aided the humans, you, too, will suffer their fate." Yog-Sothoth said, Doctor Whooves screamed while he felt his body fading and it disappeared completely Yog-Sothoth then destroyed his soul. Starlight Glimmer watched with horror and tried to teleport out but Yog-Sothoth got her with his powers and she screamed while her body and soul got destroyed, he then destroyed the time machine and Discord's realm and disappeared. Everybody looked back at where they heard Doctor Whooves and Starlight Glimmer screaming, Discord opened a portal to his realm and saw the destroyed machine, "No, they must've got them." Discord said, "Starlight?!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed and her jaw dropped, they heard another scream and saw Cozy Glow in the air, "Starlight Glimmer?!" Sunburst called out while looking on in horror while Trixie was speechless, Vishnu destroyed Cozy Glow's body with his powers and the Pixiu then destroyed her soul, Discord looked on in shock and slithered away, "Wait, Discord!" Twilight Sparkle called out, all of the world's natives began to have their bodies and souls destroyed and everybody saw King Thorax and Trixie were in the next group. Sunset Shimmer quickly ran to the mirror and destroyed it with a blast from her magic, she heard more screaming and saw the next group of creatures get their bodies and souls destroyed, she saw Princess Ember and Ocellus were in the group, "OCELLUS!!" Silverstream called out, "DAUGHTER!!" Dragon Lord Torch hollered, the next group got their bodies and souls destroyed that had Roseluck and Autumn Blaze in it. Sun Wukong began stretching his staff out and hitting the world's natives on their heads while Catoblepas, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa turned others to stone with their gaze and the Basilisk and Volvox's Cockatrice killed the world's natives with their gazes, Osiris and Anubis then destroyed their souls that had Sandbar and Silverstream in it, "SANDBAR!! SILVERSTREAM!! THAT DOES IT!! YONA MAD!!" Yona yelled and she charged forward while screaming, "Yona! No!" Smolder hollered, Yona screamed and Raijin electrocuted her body to ashes, Anubis took her soul and destroyed it. Azathoth continued erasing the world's natives from existence and the Storm Guards were gone, everybody heard Queen Chrysalis screaming while she was held up in the air by Volvox's telekinesis and he shot hellfire beams out of his eyes', Discord came back with the Bewitching Bell and absorbed Queen Chrysalis' magic into it, "NOOOOOOOOO!!" Queen Chrysalis hollered as her body turned into ashes and the Pixiu destroyed her soul. Discord then used the Bewitching Bell on Tirek and depowered him, "What are you doing?!" Nightmare Moon inquired, Zeus and Thor electrocuted Tirek and reduced his body to ashes and Osiris destroyed his soul, Azathoth saw Tempest Shadow kicking obsidian orbs everywhere and he erased her from existence. Gallus and Smolder tried to fight back but they got overwhelmed by the many creatures and slaughtered, Anubis took and destroyed their souls, "NO!!" Twilight Sparkle yelled, "Ah can't believe it, they got all six of 'em." Applejack remarked, Twilight Sparkle growled and shot huge blasts out of her horn that obliterated most of the mortal monsters on the land, Volvox's Roc picked up Spike and carried him away, "SPIKE!!" Rainbow Dash yelled, and she flew after him while Twilight Sparkle stopped and looked. She shot huge blasts out while growling and Fujin blew wind at her to knock her down, she yelped while Sun Wukong took Spike and he tried to break free, the Sluagh then surrounded and cut him apart, the Pixiu then took and destroyed Spike's soul, "SPIKE!!" Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor exclaimed while tears fell down Twilight Sparkle's cheeks, she and Shining Armor growled and shot big blasts together. Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle shot a big blast together and combined them into a big swirling blast of two colors, Volvox and the others swayed to the sides and dodged it, a big explosion appeared behind them and the shockwave knocked the smaller creatures down while the bigger ones were unfazed, they shot more destructive blasts together while Volvox burrowed his three heads into the ground, he appeared under them and shot hellfire blasts at them, Twilight Sparkle exclaimed and quickly teleported while Shining Armor tried to put up a shield but got caught in the blast and got reduced to ashes, "DARLING!!" Princess Cadance yelled while Flurry Heart exclaimed with horror, Anubis then destroyed Shining Armor's soul. Twilight Sparkle and Princess Cadance fell to their knees' and cried with Flurry Heart, Typhon shot fire from his hundred heads at them and Sunset Shimmer quickly teleported them away, Princess Cadance and Flurry Heart looked at Volvox and his invaders with rage and shot powerful blasts at them, Sunburst undid Flurry Heart's seal and she used her magic to its full power, Azathoth then erased Sunburst out of existence. Flurry Heart shot one big blast after another that destroyed a lot of Volvox's army while the angels, fallen angels, demons, and gods were unaffected, she held up the alps and goblins with her telekinesis and shot big blasts at them and destroyed them, the centaurs and satyrs shot arrows at her and she put up a shield to block them, it also blocked out magic. Princess Cadance flew around and shot blasts at the invaders ragefully, she put up a shield every time something tried to attack her but Zeus' lightning bolts knocked her back, she kept flying and shooting blasts, Volvox ducked under one and shot hellfire blasts from his three mouths at her, she teleported higher into the air and was above the others, Daoloth shot psychic blasts into Princess Cadance's brain and she went insane, she screamed at the visions in her mind, "Mama!" Flurry Heart hollered, the incubi and succubi absorbed love out of Princess Cadance to empower themselves, Discord quickly used the Bewitching Bell to absorb Princess Cadance's magic and Volvox shot hellfire blasts to burn her to ashes and Anubis destroyed her soul. Twilight Sparkle looked on with shock and was speechless while Flurry Heart had tears fall out of her eyes, she growled and shot bigger blasts out of her horn while screaming. Volvox and his army swayed around to dodge her blasts and she growled, Flurry Heart shot blasts into the ground and activated volcanic eruptions, she shot more and teleported around until Vishnu got a hold of her with his powers, Flurry Heart panicked and let out baby noises while she felt herself disappearing, "FLURRY HEART!! NO!!" Twilight Sparkle yelled as she tried to save her with her magic, Discord absorbed Flurry Heart's magic with the Bewitching Bell and she faded from existence. Twilight Sparkle looked on tearfully while Star Swirl the Bearded, Flash Magnus, Mistmane, Mage Meadowbrook, Somnambula, Rockhoof, and the Pony of Shadows worked together to try to take down the invaders but Azrael and Abaddon were proving to be too powerful for them, Abaddon absorbed the Pony of Shadow's dark magic and turned him back into Stygian, Azrael's eyes glowed and Star Swirl the Bearded put up a shield to repel his power. Azrael stopped and Star Swirl the Bearded cast a spell that summoned white light around them and the fallen angels became depowered while Azrael and Abaddon continued fighting. Azrael controlled the souls he took and shot blasts at them while Abaddon turned into a black blob of dark magic and flew around, the Pillars came together and shot a big blast at Abaddon and he reverted back to normal, he attacked relentlessly and the Pillars blocked his attacks, Azrael used his powers on them while they were distracted and not in their views, Abaddon flew to behind him and the Pillars and Stygian looked at Azrael, his gaze killed them and Osiris destroyed their souls while Discord absorbed the Pillars' elements and the Pony of Shadow's dark magic out of Abaddon and into the Bewitching Bell. The Mane Six looked on in disbelief at seeing everybody fall and they heard familiar screaming, they looked and saw Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle held up in the air with Volvox's telekinesis, "NO!!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she flew to them, Thor shocked and paralyzed her, Rarity tried to teleport the Cutie Mark Crusaders out of Volvox's grip but Phoenix and Thunderbird flew to her and shot fire and lightning at her. She exclaimed while Applejack ran and jumped while throwing her lasso forward to try to grab the Cutie Mark Crusaders, the angels carried Tsurube-otoshi and dropped him on Applejack, she grunted when she got pinned to the ground, Azathoth then erased the Cutie Mark Crusaders from existence, Rainbow Dash and Applejack screamed in horror and Rarity sobbed hysterically. Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon destroyed much of Volvox's army and all of the prehistoric fauna were destroyed, Bishamonten summoned rain and put out Daybreaker's fire and Nightmare Moon created illusions to hide and shot zaps at Shub-Niggurath's creations, the abstract looking creatures swarmed them and Nightmare Moon flew up to take avoid them, Nyarlathotep began changing reality around and Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon became confused, Bishamonten attacked them with his spear and they saw it coming and teleported, Pazuzu blew the southwestern wind and knocked them out of the sky, Volvox shot hellfire blasts and Nightmare Moon screamed while Daybreaker withstood it and laughed, she screamed when the yuki-onnas froze her, Discord absorbed their magic into the Bewitching Bell while Daybreaker melted into a puddle of water and Nightmare Moon became ash, Osiris then destroyed Princess Celestia's and Princess Luna's souls. The Mane Six looked on in disbelief at seeing almost everybody was gone, they saw Dragon Lord Torch, Sunset Shimmer, and the Pie family were still trying to fight back, Azathoth erased Dragon Lord Torch out of existence while Sunset Shimmer's fire magic did not do well, Typhon shot fire at her and Sunset Shimmer screamed, "Stop... them! Can't... have them... in... vade... my world." Sunset Shimmer said, Discord absorbed her element into the Bewitching Bell and she got reduced to ashes, the Pixiu then destroyed her soul. The Mane Six looked around and nodded, they ran to the Tree of Harmony and went to a chest. They put six keys in it and a rainbow came out, they transformed and floated, they shot a rainbow light at the invaders but Zeus, Poseidon, Amphitrite, Hades, Persephone, Typhon, Osiris, Amun, Ra, Anubis, Apep, Set, Odin, Thor, Vishnu, Bishamonten, Huitzilopochtli, Pazuzu, Fujin, and Raijin combined their powers together to unleash one blast and entered a deadlock, the seven archangels flew to behind the Mane Six and shot light magic into their backs, their shield deflected it while they tried to overpower their attackers. Seere appeared inside the shield and began running and trampling the Mane Six with his horse, they exclaimed while they fell over and the shield went down, Seere disappeared and the gods' blast hit them and they screamed, a shockwave damaged the world while Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Applejack groaned and laid on the ground, Volvox shot hellfire blasts at them and screamed while getting reduced to ashes, Discord absorbed their elements and powers into the Bewitching Bell while holding his tears back, the five mares got reduced to ashes and Osiris and Anubis destroyed their souls. Volvox and his army looked around and saw no one, "There should be at least seven people in this world left around now." Barbatos said, everybody suddenly got punched and they saw Igneous Rock Pie, Cloudy Quartz, Limestone Pie, Maud Pie, Pinkie Pie, and Marble Pie break the laws of physics and attacked them, "YOU HURT AND DESTROYED MY FRIENDS!! I'LL NEVER FORGIVE ANY OF YOU!!" Pinkie Pie yelled, and she and her family began multiplying and moving at blinding speeds. Vishnu and Azathoth began erasing the clones from existence but more clones of the Pie family came out from under the ground, they began throwing rocks with their manes and tails while Dommiel made their shadows attack them, Ra and Huitzilopochtli controlled the world's sun and tried to burn the Pie family but they absorbed the sun's fire and began throwing it out of their hoofs, manes, and tails, and shooting it out of their mouths and eyes'. The Pie family and their clones floated around and punched and kicked the others, the gods and giant creatures were unfazed while the small, medium sized, and slightly large creatures fell over, they then burrowed into the ground and began throwing boulders at them. Azathoth began trying to erase the Pie family from existence but they multiplied and more of them appeared out of nowhere, Dommiel tried to make their shadows attack them but the Pie family's shadows helped them instead. All of them began controlling various elements and Volvox's army began to fall back, Thunderbird shot lightning at them and Igneous Rock Pie caught it in one front hoof, directed it through it his body, and shot it back with his other front hoof, the invaders swayed to their sides to dodge it while the lightning went into the clouds and lightning struck the entire world. Pinkie Pie and her shadows and clones began playing various instruments and shot fireballs out of her woodwind and brass instruments while her string elements summoned tornadoes and percussion instruments triggered earthquakes, Odin struck the Pie family with his spear but more of them appeared while his Valkyries began to fall, Typhon's children got overwhelmed and Typhon shot fire and venom everywhere and burned and poisoned the entire Pie family and their clones. The invaders kept their guards up and the Pie family reappeared, they began shooting rocks at them and used their powers to break the golems apart, they shot their body parts at them and the orcs and draugr smashed their pieces with their war hammers, the Sluagh tried to eat the Pie family but they disappeared and reappeared in the sky. They threw rocks into the sky and it rained boulders and confectioneries, Volvox shot his hellfire blasts at them and they were gone, they reappeared in front of them and stomped their hoofs on the ground to create landslides and made rocks shaped like spikes grow out. Tulzscha went into the ground and erupted, the Pie family coughed and felt sick and Yibb-Tstll put black snowflakes on them, they wheezed and struggled to breathe and Shub-Niggurath's monsters swarmed them, they got destroyed and Hades, Osiris, Anubis, the Pixiu destroyed their souls. The invaders kept their guards up and more boulders came down from the sky, they saw the Pie family in the air and Pinkie Pie pelted them with frozen desserts, Volvox shot red lightning out of his tail's tip to paralyze them and then shot hellfire beams out of his eyes', Discord absorbed their powers into the Bewitching Bell and they soon got reduced to ashes and Hades destroyed their souls. Volvox and his army looked at the destroyed world and saw no one, "Is that everyone?" Cxaxukluth asked, "There's one more." Paimon answered, everyone saw magic get drained out of the Tree of Harmony and into the Bewitching Bell, Discord then used the Bewitching Bell to put the elements of magic, sorcery, loyalty, bravery, kindness, healing, laughter, hope, generosity, beauty, honesty, strength, and empathy, Rainbow Power, the alicorn magic of Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, Twilight Sparkle, and Flurry Heart, Queen Chrysalis' and Tirek's magic, the Pony of Shadow's dark magic, and the Pie family's powers to break the laws of physics into himself and combined it with his chaos magic, he glared at the invaders while holding his arms out to the sides with his palms facing the sky and lava erupted out of the ground around him while lightning bolts appeared behind him. Discord flexed his body outwards and a rainbow colored shockwave appeared that destroyed the world and caused natural disasters to happen, Volvox shot hellfire blasts out of his front feet while Dommiel shot shadow blasts out of his hands and Discord caught them and shot them back, he began changing the world to what he visualized and all of the inanimate objects began attacking the invaders. Discord made clones of the Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Star Swirl the Bearded, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, Flurry Heart, Queen Chrysalis, and Tirek appear and they shot their magic blasts at them while Discord shot a huge blast consisting of the elements, Rainbow Power, alicorn magic, and his own magic together, the invaders moved away to dodge it and the blast split into smaller beams that homed on the invaders. Foras tried to cast his invincibility spell but it was still nullified, the blasts hit them and caused big explosions, many of Volvox's mortal creatures got wiped out, Discord shot another blast and one from his mouth and two more from his eyes, he aimed for Volvox and he shot hellfire blasts out of his mouths, eyes', two eye holes in his skeleton head, balls of his front feet, and tips of his front feet's toes. They entered a deadlock but Discord overpowered him easily and Volvox groaned while wincing back, Tom and his dragons breathed fire and lightning at him but Discord absorbed them into his body and shot them back, Tom and his dragons fell out of the sky. Zeus and Odin attacked him together and Discord got pushed back by Zeus' lightning bolts and Odin's runes shooting non-elemental blasts at him, he created clones of himself and he changed the landscape to a maze, Satan burned it down with his fire magic while Belphegor tried to make Discord stuck in one place with his gravity magic but it had no effect on him. Discord laughed with his voice echoing and summoned meteors from the sky, they devastated the land while Discord punched his fists together to create another Rainbow Power shockwave that destroyed the world, the invaders got pushed back while the smaller creatures got shot away. Catoblepas, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa looked at him and turned him to stone, Discord appeared behind it and his stone clone began moving on its own, Beelzebub sent flies to eat Discord but he used the Pie family's powers to create duplicates of himself and he began appearing in random places and attacking the invaders, blue and green flames appeared and took his form and they grew extra limbs and shot more powerful blasts at the invaders. Discord and his clones began growing extra limbs and shot big beams into the sky, it rained down and destroyed the land while rainbow shockwaves appeared and Volvox quickly moved himself and his army into the world's core, Discord appeared down there and made the core bigger and burned the mortal creatures of Volvox's army, they got out and onto the surface where rainbow shockwaves shook the world. Discord continued creating clones of the world's dead natives and they shot their magic beams at them, Azathoth erased them from existence while Vishnu and Bishamonten tried to get the Bewitching Bell, Discord used it to depower the many creatures in Volvox's army and put their magic into himself, he got more powerful and his magic auras got bigger. Phoenix and Thunderbird combined their fire and lightning attacks together and Discord flew and slithered around with his clones, he tried to use the Bewitching Bell on Azathoth and Yog-Sothoth but their powers were too much for the Bewitching Bell to handle and shot them out, Typhon made volcanoes erupt and summoned powerful earthquakes and wind gusts that had no effect on Discord, he shot fire and venom out of his hundred mouths and two hundred eyes' but they had no effect on Discord. Discord held the Bewitching Bell and drained magic out of the fallen angels except for Azrael and Abaddon since their powers were too much for the bell to handle, Volvox shot a big hellfire blast out of his front right foot at the bell and a white flash appeared, Discord grunted while the bell cracked and white light appeared out of it. Michael saw the bell cracking and Discord still used it to depower the invaders, he alongside the other archangels, Seven Princes of Hell, seventy two Solomon demons could not get depowered, Michael flew to Discord and he teleported with the bell, Volvox tried to hold him in place with his telekinesis but Discord teleported out of it, he held the bell out to drain his army's magic while teleporting around, Michael did many swings that sent fire everywhere and a few hit the bell, it cracked more and exploded and shot Discord back. Discord stood up and Volvox and his magic users cast their spells on him, he began using the Pony of Shadow's dark magic and his eyes turned green with a purple haze coming out of them, he shot dark crystals everywhere while more grew out of the ground, the angels got heavily affected while the fallen angels and demons did not. They realized it was dark magic and Lucifer and Abaddon absorbed it into themselves, they shot black blasts at Discord and he made his own shadow and skeleton come out of his body and they began using his chaos magic while transforming their body parts into different parts. Discord saw the dark magic was not working well and fallen angels and demons absorbed it to heal and empower themselves, he held his arms out and shot Rainbow Power out of his fingers and claws in the form of lightning strikes, the rainbow lightning strikes turned the mortal invaders into ash while the immortal members withstood it, the lightning strikes that hit the world destroyed it while causing more rainbow colored shockwaves to appear. Volvox burrowed his three heads into the ground and appeared under Discord and shot hellfire blasts out of his mouths and at him, Discord withstood it and shot the Rainbow Power lightning at him, Volvox's heads returned to his body and he winced back while groaning loudly, Discord realized Volvox's heads were his weak points and aimed for them, Volvox covered his own heads with his front legs and then jumped into the air, everybody watched him and he body slammed Discord while breaking the ground. Discord reappeared in the sky and he made the sun and moon appear, he made them glow and the sun shot orange blasts out while the moon shot out yellow blasts, they burned the world and he made light blue, yellow, and dark pink shields appear around himself, the world burned while he also used his magic to make more meteors fall and the stars began flying down to the world and burned it. The Outer Gods tried using their powers on Discord but he resisted them a little, the Satori tried to read his mind but discovered it could not, Discord laughed while his voice echoed and he warped time and space while creating natural disasters, Hades, Osiris, Anubis, and the Pixiu tried destroying his soul but Discord kept reappearing elsewhere and more clones of himself appeared, they also shot powerful magic blasts and controlled the sun and moon. The invaders began falling one by one while Discord's powers continued destroying the world, he started making live inanimate objects appear that attacked the invaders while adding more limbs and weapons onto them, he created an army of his own creatures and they attacked the invaders and overpowered them by numbers. The gods looked at the sun and moon and nodded, Azathoth erased them and the stars from existence but Discord made more appear and continued using their powers to destroy the invaders, his army continued overpowering the invaders and Volvox and his army pretended to play dead, Discord stopped using his powers and floated to them while keeping his shields up, he began reshaping them but discovered he cannot reshape Azathoth and Yog-Sothoth, he sighed with relief and put his shields down, Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, Giovi, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Zeus, Odin, Thor, and Typhon shot their various blasts at him and destroyed his body. Discord's soul floated around and the Pixiu tried to catch him, Discord realized he was at risk at being destroyed and he absorbed all of the magic into himself while also creating a new sun, moon, and stars, the sun and moon fused together and went into his body. Discord screamed while holding his body out and a huge wall of sun and moon fire, stars, meteors, all elements in Equestria, non-elemental alicorn magic, dark magic, and Rainbow Power appeared around him, the Rainbow Power shockwave went out slowly and destroyed everything in its path while the spinning wall of fire sent meteors flying in all directions. Volvox flung the meteors back with his telekinesis and Discord starting shooting Rainbow Power lightning out everywhere and craters appeared all over the world while he desperately tried to destroy the invaders. Everybody backed away while Discord floated to the center of the world and screamed in rage and the wall of magic got bigger and spread out faster, the invaders went under the ground and the surface got destroyed, Discord quickly went into the world's core and fused with it, the solar and lunar flames erupted out of the ground everywhere alongside rainbow colored lava, pictures of the cutie marks of the Mane Six, Pillars, and Sunset Shimmer appeared in the sky. Volvox and his army began to fall and Discord floated in the sky and shot big blasts in all directions, Apep got stronger by the chaos and summoned a black mass that darkened the world, he began absorbing Discord's chaos magic while Vishnu reshaped the world, the sun, moon, and stars disappeared and Discord stopped using his powers for a second in disbelief, Hades, Osiris, Anubis, and the Pixiu quickly got a hold of his soul while he desperately tried to escape but they destroyed his soul and erased him from existence. Volvox and the other survivors of his army panted heavily while they saw every single human and native of the world and its flora and fauna have been destroyed, "We finally did it." Dommiel said, "But at a high price." Tom replied, everybody saw only a quarter of the army was left and some species' have become extinct, "Let us rest for now." Volvox stated, and they did, "Is everybody ready?" Volvox asked three hours later, the survivors nodded, "Let us go to that orange horse's world next and wipe out that world's humans." Volvox commanded, "Considering there's much less magic there, this should be much easier." Sun Wukong commented, "Wait, Foras, can you cast your invincibility spell again?" Typhon asked, Foras tried and it worked, "Yes! It works again!" Foras boasted, the invaders snickered while Bael, Foras, and Balem made them invisible, Ronove enchanted the creatures to be more powerful than they already are, and Alloces made the invaders immortal, "Let's go." Volvox stated, and the Outer Gods opened portals to Sunset Shimmer's world. The invaders arrived and Malphas made the humans forget their thoughts while Shax made them blind and deaf. Azathoth and Vishnu then erased that world's Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Spike from existence alongside all of its magical artifacts and they invaders quickly destroyed the world and drove every person, flora, and fauna to extinction. The Maker then merged Volvox's Earth with Sunset Shimmer's Earth and Equestria and the creatures ruled the new world and shaped it as they saw fit. No HumansVolvox was the very first being created on Earth by the Maker and the gods, he was ageless and already an adult when he was created, the Maker and gods were surprised by how he turned out, he was a three thousand feet tall, three hundred fifty feet wide, three hundred feet long creature with three heads with the back of his heads shaped like semicircles and the front shaped like two back-to-back right triangles, he did not have any ears or noses, his four eyes were slanted and monochromatic and did not have any pupils or irises and were on the sides of his head. The right half of his body and right head were gray and skeletal with black holes in place of his eyes and white teeth, the five claws on his right front foot and right hind foot were also made of gray bones. The left half of his body and his left head were pitch black like a shadow, the head's eyes and teeth and five claws on his left front foot and left hind foot were red. His center head, spine, and tail were pink and made out of a parasitic-like skin, his spine had yellow seven pointed star-like organic matters growing on him and each tip was sharp, the tip of his tail was yellow and shaped like a spear's tip with sharp tips on the back corners, and the center head's eyes and teeth, the seven-pointed organic stars, and his tail's tip were yellow. Volvox watched the Earth develop over time and many animals get created by The Maker and watched dragons and many other animals fight one another and go extinct, he trained himself and the powers he had and his own fighting abilities to defend himself from predators, he took out his attackers very easily and angels and demons soon came to Earth to use it as a hunting ground and test their own powers and fighting abilities against Earth's animals. Volvox met a demon named Dommiel and befriended him, he was about eight feet tall and had a muscular body, he was wearing a dark blue suit of armor with three red-orange organic spikes on his pauldrons, a white spike on the back of each couter, white spikes on the back of his bracers and gauntlets, a white spike on the top of each sabaton and the end of his sabatons were pointed and sharp, his cuirass did not have any decorations on it, and his leg armor were custom-made, he had one piece cover his entire shins and calves, knee pads, another piece covering his entire thighs, and a piece of armor that covered his groin and butt areas, his helmet covered his entire head and left only his glowing red eyes exposed, he had three white horns on his helmet with two curved horns on the sides and one straight horn on his forehead. They watched the world fight until a mass extinction happened and wiped out lots of native life on Earth, the dinosaurs and many other animals died out while Volvox's hellfire powers made him immune to the heat and the angels and demons went back home. Animals that survived the extinction continued with life and some went extinct due to Earth's changes. Volvox noticed the dragons survived the mass extinction and the angels and demons also came back, The Maker and other gods created new beings to roam the Earth and another cycle of life began. Volvox decided to spend this time getting to know the angels, demons, and dragons, Dommiel introduced him to many demons and got to learn its seventy two high ranking members and seven rulers, the seventy two high ranking demons were Bael, Agares, Vassago, Samigina, Marbas, Valefor, Amon, Barbatos, Paimon, Buer, Gusion, Sitri, Beleth, Leraje, Eligos, Zepar, Botis, Bathin, Sallos, Purson, Morax, Ipos, Aim, Naberius, Glasya-Labolas, Buné, Ronove, Berith, Astaroth, Forneus, Foras, Asmoday, Gaap, Furfur, Marchosias, Stolas, Phenex, Halphas, Malphas, Raum, Focalor, Vepar, Sabnock, Shax, Vine, Bifrons, Vual, Haagenti, Crocell, Furcas, Balam, Alloces, Caim, Murmur, Orobas, Gremory, Ose, Amy, Orias, Vapula, Zagan, Valac, Andras, Flauros, Andrealphus, Kimaris, Amdusias, Belial, Decarabia, Seere, Dantalion, and Andromalius while its seven rulers were Lucifer, Leviathan, Mammon, Beelzebub, Belphegor, Asmodeus, and Satan. Volvox met with the angels next and got know them and their seven field commanders, they were archangels and their names were Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Barachiel, Jegudiel, and Selaphiel, he also got to meet the fallen angels, who were angels that disobeyed Heaven's rule and were sent to Hell as punishment, he learned their two leaders were Azrael and Abaddon. Volvox then got to know the dragons next and learned its leader was a big winged dragon named Tom, Volvox barely restrained his laughter from how simple his name was but managed to form an alliance and friendship with them. The years passed and Volvox saw several creatures thought extinct survived the mass extinction and they lived with the new creatures, many more were created as the years passed and Earth became a busy place again. Gods from outer space eventually visited the Earth and they were more powerful than Earth's gods and its creatures, their abstract and horrific appearances scared everybody away, "So, this is Earth, quite an abundance of species' you all have here." the center being said in a distorted voice, "Who are you?" Volvox's center head asked with a booming voice, "I am Azathoth, that there is Cxaxukluth, that's Daoloth over there, that's Ghroth back there, that's Nyarlathotep over there, that's Shub-Niggurath over there, that's Tulzscha over there, that's Yibb-Tstll all the way there, and that's Yog-Sothoth back there." the being answered, "What brings you all here to Earth?" Michael questioned, "We watch the cosmos, we noticed this world is teeming with much more life than the other planets, we wondered what was going on." Shub-Niggurath responded, "What do you all say?" Volvox asked, "Either remain neutral or become allies, if we fight them or go to war, conflict between cosmic forces and the divine risks shattering the fabrics of existence." Dommiel stated, "We rule the vastness of space, we decide what kinds of life inhabit the planets, we would like this planet under our rule as well." Nyarlathotep said, "What does The Maker have to say about this?" Tom questioned, the clouds spun and everybody looked, "I made them to watch over the cosmos, every other planet does not have a god like this one, I didn't have the energy to make gods for every planet." The Maker answered with a male and female voice speaking in unison, "Do you want us to form a pact with them?" Raphael questioned, "If it keeps things peaceful, then yes." The Maker responded, "And if it doesn't?" Uriel asked, "I'll erase some of you from existence." The Maker answered, "Very well then, but you nine harm any of us, we go to war." Volvox declared, "Fair enough, we will be mostly neutral, but we will pass by sometimes to see how things are." Azathoth replied, "We just wish to train and get stronger, but other than that, we want to be at peace." Dommiel remarked, "That's fine, we will be on our way now." Cxaxukluth said, and the nine Outer Gods left. The Earth remained a hunting ground and Shub-Niggurath sometimes came and sent her children to hunt and the Earth's native creatures used them as training and hunted them down, the gods eventually came to see how Earth was progressing and Volvox got to know Zeus, Poseidon, Amphitrite, Hades, Persephone, Typhon, Odin, Thor, Osiris, Amun, Ra, Anubis, Apep, Set, Vishnu, Bishamonten, Huitzilopochtli, and Pazuzu. They began making creatures that looked like them while something strange happened, the dead creatures came back as ghosts while they bodies became reanimated as zombies, Osiris and Anubis also used their powers on the dead to create mummies. Centuries passed and the gods agreed on creating one more species and they created the humans, they acted differently from the other civilizations and worshiped every other creature and monster on the planet and built architectures dedicated to them. Centuries passed and the humans developed very advanced technology and were beginning to bring back extinct animals, they also discovered life on the other planets and got ready to build spacecraft and technology to explore and visit them, but every human suddenly got sick and died by an unseen force and soon went extinct while the other creatures and gods tried to find out what happened, Volvox asked The Maker and it said it believed one of the extraterrestrial lifeforms killed them. A year passed and the humans were all buried in one area with billions of gravestones marked, the gods continued trying to find out which alien species killed the humans but had no luck. The Outer Gods looked and also confirmed they had no role in making the humans extinct, they also investigated the planets and could not find anything. The humanoid creatures tried using the remaining technology and equipment left behind by the humans and tried to see if they can find anything. They messed with the coordinates and found another realm, they pressed several buttons and the world began to shake, a big wormhole opened and everybody braced for impact and got sent to another realm. Equestria and the world's natives were going on with their days peacefully until white electricity appeared to the east of Equestria and covered the entire ocean, a big land appeared and it spread out to cover the ocean. The world's natives looked on in surprise at seeing many creatures emerge and at how huge some of them were, "Where are we?" a female humanoid creature asked, "Send us back." Volvox stated, his booming voice scared the world's natives, "No can do, Volvox, we're going to have to wait for the wormhole opener to recharge, it's going to take a while." a male humanoid creature stated, "Well, let's just lay low here and mind our own businesses until then." Volvox remarked, everybody agreed and got on with their days, "What do y'all think about them?" Applejack asked, "Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to go and welcome them." Twilight Sparkle stated, "That's a great idea! I can throw a 'Welcome to this world' party!" Pinkie Pie declared while hopping up and down, "Um, some of them are big and scary looking." Fluttershy quivered, "Oh, relax, Fluttershy, they don't look hostile at all." Rainbow Dash observed, "I think it would be best to greet them as well so we can feel safe." Rarity suggested, "Yeah, there are dragons with them, too, I think they would be excited to learn about this world's dragons." Spike added, "Alright, welcoming them, it is, to my balloon, everypony." Twilight Sparkle said, and they entered her hot air balloon and flew to the new land. The Mane Six and Spike flew to the new land while the creatures noticed them coming and kept their guards up, they arrived and everybody watched them, "What do you all want?" Barachiel asked, "We're just here to say hello and welcome you all to our world." Twilight Sparkle responded, "You guys this world's rulers?" Jegudiel inquired, "No, we're this world's protectors, but I am a princess of this world's most powerful country." Twilight Sparkle answered, "That country beside us to the west?" Selaphiel questioned, "Yes, it is called Equestria, I am Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship, that's Spike, my assistant, that's Rainbow Dash, that's Fluttershy, that's Pinkie Pie, that's Rarity, and that's Applejack." Twilight Sparkle replied, the creatures looked at her with bewilderment, "Princess of Friendship? That is your title?" Lucifer questioned, "You guys got a problem with that?" Rainbow Dash inquired while scowling, "In our world, a title like that would make you the subject of ridicule and harassment." Stolas stated, "What?! It is a title that announces to the world that she is the one who harmonizes us and teaches us about love and acceptance." Rarity explained, "Still, Princess of Friendship doesn't sound like a title one would take seriously." Satan remarked, "Do you all have titles?" Twilight Sparkle inquired, "Those seven there do." Tom answered, "Let's hear them." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Prince of Pride." Lucifer boasted, "Prince of Envy." Leviathan said, "Prince of Greed." Mammon remarked, "Prince of Gluttony." Beelzebub stated, "Prince of Sloth." Belphegor commented, "Prince of Lust." Asmodeus spoke, "Prince of Wrath." Satan announced, "They don't sound very welcoming." Applejack said, "They're not, we spread sin, our titles are the sin we spread to mortals." Lucifer explained, "So, who's the ruler here?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I am, but the angels and demons don't obey me, they do their own things, I am the emperor of the world we're from." Volvox explained, "I must say, what a diverse amount of creatures you have under your rule, I'd like to know the name of each creature type if possible." Twilight Sparkle said, "Very well." Volvox replied, and he had all of them divided by which group of humans labeled them. He introduced them to the angels first and the Mane Six got to know Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Barachiel, Jegudiel, and Selaphiel, he introduced them to the fallen angels next alongside Azrael and Abaddon, after them were four skeletons in black cloaks riding horses, the first one rode a white horse and held a bow while also wearing a crown, the second one rode a red horse and held a sword, the third one rode a black horse and held scales, and the fourth one rode a pale horse and held a scythe.

Twilight Sparkle spoke, and the Mane Six and Spike went into the hot air balloon and left. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna watched the new land from Canterlot's castle and the Mane Six and Spike came in, "Princess Celestia, the new people seem mostly friendly and harmless, but they do look powerful." Twilight Sparkle reported, "I noticed, it'd be best if we don't make them mad, I don't think this world will survive in a battle against them." Princess Celestia replied, "Especially those big creatures, those nine beings in the sky look especially dangerous." Princess Luna added, "One thing that made me uncomfortable is the many graves behind 'em there." Applejack said, "I noticed that, too, I can't help but get a bad feeling about it." Twilight Sparkle added, "Let's let time pass and see if they open up to us, maybe they will explain to us one day."

Rainbow Dash remarked, "We'll just have to wait and see if they stay here that long, but for now, let them get comfortable, we'll welcome them here and provide help if they need it." Princess Luna responded, "Head on home, it's almost night time, we'll keep an eye on them for now." Princess Celestia said, and they left. Night time came and Princess Luna entered the dream realm, she saw the foals dream in awe about Phoenix, Volvox's Griffon, Volvox's Hippogriff, the Pixiu, Owlman, Thunderbird, the angels, fairies, centaurs, satyrs, sirens, nymphs, elves, kitsunes, tanukis, merfolk, and swan maidens while having nightmares about Typhon, Volvox's Cerberus, Orthrus, Volvox's Hydra, Volvox's Chimera, Volvox's Minotaur, Nemean Lion, Erymanthian Boar, Catoblepas, the Laestrygonians, Sleipnir, the Kraken, the Gashadokuro, the Bake-kujira, Hone-Onna, Ittan-momen, Jorōgumo, Wanyūdō, Nue, the Ōmukade, Shuten-Dōji, Fujin, Raijin, Yamata-no-Orochi, the Lambton Worm, the Nuckelavee, the Hound of Baskervilles, Boogeyman, the Kelpie, the Headless Horseman, Dullahan, Tarasque, the Aswang, the Manananggal, the Penanggalan, the Azhi Dahaka, Volvox's Manticore, the Mongolian Death Worm, the Thetis Lake Monster, Volvox's Yeti, Volvox's Bunyip, Piasa, Popobawa, Grootslang, Azathoth, Cxaxukluth, Daoloth, Ghroth, Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, Tulzscha, Yibb-Tstll, Yog-Sothoth, the Jersey Devil, the Dover Demon, the Flatwoods Monster, Goatman, the Chupacabra, the demons, skeletons, ghosts, giants, were-beasts, cyclopes, trolls, draugr, mummies, yuki-onnas, onis, umi-bōzus, kechibis, namahages, ningyos, nure-onnas, ōkubis, onikumas, tsuchigumos, ogres, Sluagh, goblins, zombies, ekeks, wakwaks, ghouls, alps, yowies, wendigoes, skinwalkers, mngwas, nandi bears, and orcs. Princess Luna zapped them away and then saw the onikumas in other nightmares and she zapped them away, she noticed the creatures who had weapons, claws, and sharp teeth were the most common in the foals' nightmares and she spent all night getting rid of them. The next morning came and the world's natives noticed the new creatures all standing together with Volvox in front of them and the many graves behind him, "As you all know, today is the one year anniversary since the human species of our world went extinct, some of you monsters may not know it, but our world had a mass extinction centuries before you all came into existence, only a few of us survived it, no doubt the humans would've gone extinct at that time. The humans may have been the weakest species of us all, but they were the smartest and most creative, if they didn't go extinct last year, we could've had space travel, and there's also the fact that they have worshiped and revered us since they first came into existence and built those shrines and temples around us that we preserve in their memory, it is still unknown who killed them, it was a shocking loss to us all, wasted potential, too, they were also the youngest and newest species under my rule, I was sad to see them go like you guys, so from now on, I will have this day marked as a national day of paying respects, may these humans rest in peace." Volvox spoke, and everybody went on with their days. The world's natives murmured while the watched the creatures clean the abandoned buildings of worship and they made offerings, they then paid their respects to the graves while the world's natives came and counted the gravestones, "Wow, the number of humans were in the billions." Starlight Glimmer commented, "These are mass graves, there's hundreds to thousands of humans buried in each one." Tom explained, "So, um, what happened?" Silverstream questioned, "We don't know, everything was peaceful and the humans just suddenly dropped dead with no warning." Typhon responded, "Not even us who can see into the past, present, and future could figure out what happened." Gremory added, "You guys don't have any idea what happened?" Rainbow Dash inquired, "As of now, we think some life form beyond the sky and in space released some kind of invisible and odorless gas that has been made specifically to kill humans, the Outer Gods already looked but found nothing." Odin explained, "Is there any evidence of that?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, the vampires went into a lab and brought out a microscope and a petri dish. The world's natives looked at them with confusion while Twilight Sparkle examined the petri dish through the microscope, "What the?" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed while she saw the microscopic insectoid creatures moving around with some kind of transparent fume around them, "There's these really tiny bugs moving around and I see some kind of toxic fume around them, I've never seen any microscopic creature like this before." Twilight Sparkle reported, "See, there you go, some of us already examined their genetic structure with the equipment the humans left behind, we already confirmed they were created in a lab and are extraterrestrial in nature." Fujin responded, "Um... extraterrestrial?" Sandbar questioned, "From where we're from, there is life beyond the sky, if you go high enough, you enter a place called space, it is black and filled with stars, there are big areas called planets there, too, you can land on some of them and they have life on them." Cxaxukluth explained, "Life beyond the sky, you say? Now you've piqued my interest." Twilight Sparkle said, "Maybe we can find something in it with our magic." Princess Cadance suggested, "We already did that, we found nothing, these mini bugs seem to have to been created solely with science." Raijin responded, "Well, maybe your magic is different from ours, and you should let us examine it to see if we find anything." Twilight Sparkle suggested, "Well, Volvox?" Tom asked, "Let's give it a go, if they find anything, it might be helpful." Volvox replied, "Thank you, I'll go ahead and start examining now." Twilight Sparkle responded, and she teleported the petri dish to her castle and then teleported there. Twilight Sparkle wandered around her castle while getting her equipment and books with her magic and began examining the microscopic bugs. She looked at their bodies closely and noticed there were hexagonal shaped structures on their bodies with the fumes coming out of the spaces between them, she removed them with her telekinesis and saw soft and shiny bodies and she exclaimed when the fumes poured out much faster. She looked on with her jaw dropped but realized she felt fine and the fumes did not seem to have any affect on her, she continued examining the bugs and noticed they were also moving faster, "What is this?" Twilight Sparkle asked as she watched them. She examined the bugs farther but continued to find nothing, "Hmm, I'll need to see what they do to a human body." Twilight Sparkle commented, and she teleported. Volvox's subjects showed the world's natives the things the humans invented and they looked on in awe and fascination, Twilight Sparkle appeared and everybody looked at her, "I need a human body to test on." Twilight Sparkle stated, "We already got recordings of those bugs' effects on humans." Dommiel responded, "Oh, can I see it?" Twilight Sparkle requested, and the fairies flew into a lab to get a TV out and put a video tape in a VCR. A recording played with angels acting as scientists and they applied the microscopic bugs on a dead human and then one angel picked up the camera and put it on a microscope. They watched the fumes age the human's skin rapidly and the angel moved the camera and saw monitors and machines showing the human's insides aging, "Okay, so um... what's going on?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "Those fumes passed by them age the human body at an extremely fast rate and cause their body functions to shut down due to old age, that was how we figured out something was wrong." Volvox explained, "I removed their outer shells and their fumes came out even more." Twilight Sparkle stated, "We discovered that ourselves a long time ago, there seems to be a gland in their body emitting toxic gas not native to our world." Pazuzu replied, "Y'all know where it's from?" Applejack inquired, "It was created artificially, but when the Outer Gods compared its structure to other toxic gases on other planets, it was discovered to be an chemically engineered gas from a gaseous planet that is filled with toxic fumes and cannot be landed on, one thing we do know is whichever alien species made these is a highly advanced one." a succubus responded, "Have you all tried to check what they are with alchemy?" Mage Meadowbrook asked, "What would that do?" Volvox questioned, "Well, I don't know about you guys, but in this world, we can use magic and alchemy to separate creatures and objects apart into the ingredients that made them." Mage Meadowbrook explained, "I'm not sure if this will work, but let's give it a try." Volvox stated, and Twilight Sparkle brought the microscope and petri dish with her magic. Mage Meadowbrook and Zecora began experimenting with the bugs and the unicorns cast magic when they ordered it, they began dividing the bugs into different objects and the new creatures watched with surprise. The alchemists divided the bugs into regular bugs and a colorless and odorless gas that Sunburst held in place with his magic, "Wow, that was actually much faster than reverse genetic engineering." a male troll commented, "Do you guys recognize this bug?" Somnambula asked, the Outer Gods leaned down and examined them while the world's natives became uncomfortable seeing them up close, "Nope, it seems these bugs have been genetically engineered, too." Nyarlathotep answered, "Wait, before we jump to conclusions, we must examine them to see if they're mutated through chemicals or radiation as well." Yibb-Tstll reminded, Volvox used his telekinesis to get various types of radiation detectors out of the lab and put them near the bugs, they did not go off, "Nope, no radiation in them." Volvox reported, "I'm not seeing any abnormal mutations either." Dommiel added, Volvox used his telekinesis to get more equipment out of the lab and used scanners on the bugs. Genetic structures appeared on screens and the were-beasts looked at them and pointed out mutated genes, "How do you guys know how to use those?" Sandbar asked, "What?" a male werewolf commented, "How do you all know how to operate all of that stuff?" Sandbar questioned, "The humans taught us how before they went extinct." a female were-panther explained, "Oh, no wonder why." Sandbar said, "So they are mutated, seems to be chemicals deliberately injected into them, too." a male elf commented, "Any signs of viruses?" a female fairy asked, "I'm not seeing any." a male orc answered, "While I understand you are looking at this with interest, I wish to get this done quick since my time to work in the day is near its limit." Zecora remarked, "What a unique way you have of speaking." Tom replied, "My kind speaks like this all the time, as we are well versed in the way of rhymes." Zecora explained, "Well, come on, let's continue." Volvox stated, and they did. The alchemists and unicorns used their magic to separate the bugs and gas and they managed to remove the mutating chemicals from them and the Outer Gods looked at them, "Okay, now they seem to be back to normal, we know what planet these bugs are from, we're going to have to pay the species native to their planet a visit when we get back home." Tulzscha said, "Hold on, y'all don't sound like y'all are gonna try to make amends or anythin'." Applejack remarked, "The species has made one species on our planet extinct, it is only fitting they get met with the same fate." Zeus responded, "But what if it's just a small group of people and not the entire kind?" Princess Luna inquired, "Very unlikely, the species that control the planet those bugs are from are famous for hating humans, they're a warlike species, too." Yog-Sothoth answered, "So? No talking things out and offering friendship?" Pinkie Pie asked, "They are not the types to be negotiated and persuaded with, they rather attack and kill on sight." Azathoth explained, "Oh, wow, talk about unpleasant." Twilight Sparkle commented, "Let us head on home, it's getting late." Princess Celestia said, and everybody went home and rested. The next day came and the world's natives noticed Volvox's subjects cleaning and preserving the ziggurats, synagogues, mosques, candis, stupas, wats, shrines. and temples, they worked slowly and cleaned very carefully while Volvox used his telekinesis to clean the roofs on the tall structures while the creatures that could float and fly went up and cleaned them. Everybody cleaned carefully while the world's natives came closer and watched, they finished after a while and Volvox's creatures and the gods, angels, and demons put offerings in them, "What people doing?" Yona inquired, "Preserving memories, the humans built these to pray to us and worship us when they were still a new species and didn't learn about science yet." Gabriel explained, "I gotta say, they look old." Twilight Sparkle said, "They are, most of them are thousands of years old." Belphegor replied, "I figured, some of us in this world are over a thousand years old, too." Dragon Lord Torch commented, "Really?" a succubus asked, "Indeed, me and my sister here are over a thousand years old, so is our mentor there." Princess Luna responded while pointing to Princess Celestia and Star Swirl the Bearded, "My companions from the past are over a thousand years old, too." Star Swirl the Bearded added, "Wow, most of us live several decades before dying." a male troll remarked, "It's the same with most of us, too." Sunburst replied, Volvox and his subjects continued cleaning the old architecture and soon finished, they then put offerings on the pedestals in front of statues while the world's natives watched, Volvox's subjects finished and then went to the human graves and paid their respects to them, they finished and got on with their days. Everybody watched Volvox's subjects in either physical prowess and abilities, magic, psychic powers, or contacting and controlling the souls of the dead while the incubi and succubi worked on how their voices sound and what words to use to charm people, "This is what you all do in your day to day lives?" Ocellus asked, "You got a problem?" Uriel questioned, "It's... just something we don't see here, we spend our days forming friendships and bonds and trying to atone for mistakes and be forgiven, we don't train for combat." Sandbar explained, "Well, the world we're from is dangerous." Raphael stated, "You all never thought about talking things out and trying to forgive and make friends?" Silverstream inquired, "There are some species we have encountered that cannot be reasoned with." a male were-shark responded, everybody watched Volvox's subjects train for combat and then began making more weapons and armor and fortifying their homes, "Yona guess people have little time to decorate." Yona deduced, "I'd understand, us dragons were focused on being warriors and militaristic hundreds of years ago." Smolder responded, "What stopped you guys?" Tom asked, "Things got more peaceful as time passed and those friendship and forgiving ponies became the rulers of the world." Smolder explained, "My country never really developed because we're busy fighting and arguing with one another." Gallus said, "Your country would've been a target for conquering back in ancient times when we were all warlike." Lucifer stated, "Yeah, no thanks." Gallus remarked, "Your species having infighting is not new to us either, every species including our own had infighting at some point, too, even the humans did, they had a lot." Leviathan stated, "How come?" Ocellus asked, "The humans were always divided and fighting, they were never truly united as one." Mammon responded, "Wow." Silverstream remarked, "Come on, guys, they look busy, let's let them train." Sandbar spoke, and they left. The day went on peacefully while some of the world's natives went over to look at the ancient places of worship and architecture, "No pictures." a male ghoul stated, the creatures exclaimed with confusion, "The camera flashes will damage the buildings and relics inside." Tom explained, "Oh." the world's natives said, and they went inside to look at the statues and other pieces of art. They admired the things the humans have created and looked on in awe at the statues, they also found scrolls and saw them written in various languages that they did not understand, "Hey, be careful with those, those are centuries old and fragile, too." Ittan-momen warned, and the unicorns held them up with their telekinesis and moved them slowly. They looked on in surprise at seeing the centuries old writings and art in some of them, they all eventually found a book they could understand and read, "Wow, this is a big book." Autumn Blaze remarked, "Be careful with that, that was a sacred book to the humans." Selaphiel stated, the world's natives looked and saw the book was called Bible, they took turns reading it while Volvox's subjects continued with their days like normal. The sun began to set and the vampires began to slightly transform, they grew fangs and claws while their hairs changed to fur, Princess Celestia noticed and Princess Luna set the sun completely and raised the moon, the vampires changed to were-bat-like creatures while the were-beasts transformed into various forms, the zombies and ghosts also became more active and got power and strength boosts. Princess Celestia watched with great interest while the were-bat vampires flew around and the werewolves howled, the vampires used dark magic while the werewolves practiced their hunting skills on monsters that Shub-Niggurath created, the wakwaks tricked them by sounding louder the farther away they were and quieter the closer they were, they destroyed the monsters and the creatures ate them, everybody rested for the day and Princess Celestia went to sleep. Princess Luna was in the dream realm and saw the foals dreaming about the monsters they saw in the scrolls and images while also being worshiped in the structures the humans built, she smiled while zapping away the scary looking creatures and Outer Gods out of the foals' dreams, she finished and the foals dreamed peacefully while being worshiped by others. The next day came and a different group of people cleaned the places of worship left behind by the humans, they then all went over to pay their respects to the humans and left flowers on the graves, left guns, medals, and flags on the gravestones, or poured alcohol onto some of the gravestones, they then went back to using the technology to examine the microscopic bugs while Hades, Osiris, Anubis, and the Pixiu called the spirits of the dead forward. Various creatures came forward but there were no humans, "Still no humans?" Thor asked, "No, still can't find any, maybe their ghosts have been destroyed after all." Anubis responded, "I hope not, if so, then that means they're gone-gone." Dommiel said, "We've been trying for over a year now and still nothing, their souls may have been destroyed after all, I don't know what we can do to try to bring them back if that turns out to be the case." Tom added, "If only the Count of Saint Germain was still here, we could use his time traveling powers now." Volvox remarked, "Still, I wonder how he didn't foresee his own species' extinction." Zeus stated, "Maybe the extraterrestrials had something to make them immune to his powers." Persephone deduced, "It's possible, me and the others with future seeing powers didn't see them either." Vassago replied, "Didn't the humans ever build a time traveling device?" a female troll asked, "I don't think it was ever completed." the Penanggalan answered, "It wasn't, the humans never figured out how to warp time and space together and make the wormholes go into the past or future, fast traveling and going to other realms was all they could achieve." Amphitrite explained, "Maybe we can help." Starlight Glimmer said as she and Doctor Whooves walked to them together, "You guys have time travel?" Poseidon asked, "More than that, I can alter time and history, too." Starlight Glimmer answered, "I have machines and devices in my home that can be used for time travel as well, I can use them or Starlight Glimmer here can use her magic to go back in time." Doctor Whooves added, "Do they work?" Hades questioned, "Not completely, but maybe we can combine them and magic together." Doctor Whooves suggested, the others agreed and he went to go get them. The world's natives watched while the humanoid creatures under Volvox's rule and Doctor Whooves activated wormhole opening machines and they made a portal to their realm, Starlight Glimmer then cast a spell to look into the Earth's past, everybody saw the world's history pass by and the many now extinct animals, she kept going until the Earth became frozen over, "What the? The humans started appearing around here, where are they?" Tom questioned, Starlight Glimmer continued fast forwarding time but there was not a single human in sight. She looked through history and saw all of the structures built now were now being built by an unknown species that had an insectoid creature as its emblem on their spaceships, every thing was identical and functioned exactly like the things the humans built, Starlight Glimmer used her magic and began looking into alternate histories but saw no humans, "What? Are the humans completely wiped out?" a female ekek exclaimed, Starlight Glimmer could not find a single human and the devices began to overheat and everybody turned them off, "Great wickering stallions! It seems the humans really are wiped out of existence!" Doctor Whooves hollered, Twilight Sparkle's jaw dropped and she quickly teleported to her castle and wrote a note to Sunset Shimmer and sent it to her. She teleported back while Starlight Glimmer kept looking into alternate histories and tried to change the realm's history with her magic but the humans never came back, "It's no use, I can't bring them back." Starlight Glimmer said, the smaller creatures looked on with disbelief while she kept trying to make an alternate historic event, "So, they're gone for good?" the Aswang questioned, "It looks like they are." Starlight Glimmer responded, "Hold on, everyone, I just sent a note to another pony named Sunset Shimmer, she's living in another world with humans in it, too, I'm hoping she's okay and they're not extinct either." Twilight Sparkle announced, "Another realm with humans? The Maker never mentioned anything about that." Volvox responded, "The Maker?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It is the being that created all of us, all of the planets and creatures here were created by it." Michael explained, "This Maker sounds fake to me." Twilight Sparkle responded, "The Maker's real." Volvox reassured, "Well, if this Maker is real, then why hasn't it recreated the humans?" Twilight Sparkle inquired, "We know the species that made the humans extinct is still around, so maybe The Maker is going to erase them from existence and then bring the humans back." Tom deduced, "Well, whatever the reason, hope it contacts us soon, I'd like a word with it, too." Twilight Sparkle responded, and she walked back, "Sorry, everyone, but it looks like the humans are gone for good, no matter how I shape and change your realm's history, all we can do now is wait for Sunset Shimmer to contact us and let us know if her world's humans are still around or not." Starlight Glimmer said, and she left. Volvox and his subjects and looked at the gravestones and paid their respects while everybody else watched while continuing with their days. Twilight Sparkle waited in her castle while walking back and forth in front of the magic mirror and Sunset Shimmer came a few hours later, "Twilight!" Sunset Shimmer chirped and while reeled up on her hind legs, she almost fell over but stood on all fours and she and Twilight Sparkle hugged each other, "Come on, Sunset, the new creatures are outside." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they teleported. Volvox's subjects rested and Twilight Sparkle appeared with Sunset Shimmer, "Alright, everyone, this is Sunset Shimmer, she's from this world but living in a world full of humans." Twilight Sparkle announced, "Hi, everyone, Twilight wrote to me about you guys' situation, and no, the humans in my world are not extinct." Sunset Shimmer stated, "Hmm, another world with humans, maybe there's more realms The Maker has no control over." Volvox deduced, "Here, I'll show you all how my world's human's are." Sunset Shimmer stated, and she cast a spell and made a screen appear with her horn. Volvox's subjects saw images of the humans in Sunset Shimmer's world and their attentions were caught instantly, "Wow, what a variety of skin and hair colors." Dommiel remarked, "You guys' humans weren't different colors." Sunset Shimmer asked, "No, they were, but just pale skin, peach colored skin, a slightly dark brownish skin, and black skin, same with hair, most were either white, gray, black, brown, red, or blonde colors, they didn't have the many different skin and hair colors of your world's humans." Gabriel explained, "Oh." Sunset Shimmer said, and she showed them more, Volvox's subjects noticed the humans wore somewhat similar clothing to their world's humans, they also saw the humans were constantly being entertained and using electronics, "I notice you all watching carefully, something catch your minds?" Sunset Shimmer questioned, "Your world's humans sure does use a lot of electronics and play a lot of games and music." Pazuzu remarked, "Yours didn't?" Sunset Shimmer questioned, "They did, but not as much, our humans were warriors at heart, a lot of them spent their times fighting and training to get stronger." Beelzebub replied, "Oh, we have gym and sports for that." Sunset Shimmer said, "Ours fought in real life or death situations." Belphegor stated, "Yeah, no thanks." Sunset Shimmer remarked, and she finished showing them the images, "Well, what do you guys think?" Sunset Shimmer inquired, "Your humans seem to be very different from our own, behavior and appearance wise, they would likely act like a completely different species if handed to us, so they would not be suitable replacements." Volvox answered, "Oh, well, I don't think they would want to leave their home either, that's all I have, I'll be going back to Equestria now." Sunset Shimmer stated, and she and Twilight Spoarkle teleported. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna watched the new creatures from a balcony and noticed them apologizing to the graves and began cleaning them, all of them gathered together while the ghouls got a projector and began playing recordings of the humans studying and learning about medicine. The picture changed to the humans healing the sick and injured creatures with their new medicines and performed surgury on some of them, the sisters' eyes' widened a little. The picture changed to creatures trying to heal their own kind with magic and alchemy but nothing worked, the humans used medicines and surgery to heal them and then taught the other creatures, they fused their medical advancements and healing magic together and made breakthrough medicines, they then added alchemy and chemistry into them and made breakthrough discoveries. The picture changed to humans taking in orphaned creatures of other species' and taking care of them in their homes, they also fed them and treated the creatures like it was one of their own children and siblings, the humans also let them visit places and meet their own kind and other creatures. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna watched the pictures change to the humans training and exercising while also using many different types of weapons, their eyes' widened when they saw images of tanks and artillery, the humans fired their weapons and caused massive destruction with them. The picture changed to the humans fighting one another and causing lots of destruction while trying to conquer one another, their weapons and tactics of warfare caused destruction in non-human civilizations as well, the humans fought the other creatures at times but were focused on destroying themselves in most recordings. They also saw humans having police organizations with some of them trying to police the world, most of the humans wanted to enforce laws to keep the world at peace while several of them were violent and using the law as a means to attack other creatures, they were destroyed quickly by the angels and demons while the good humans tried to enforce laws to keep the world at peace and help others. Images of the humans training for combat throughout history played and they had many different fighting styles and weapons, they used them on the non-human creatures and it worked on a few of them while most of the creatures were able to counter them or had no effect on them. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna kept watching and saw nothing of interest until the recording showed the humans making art and building the architects in the land now, they watched with awe and surprise at seeing the humans have built the architectures by hand and using simple machines but noticed some of the human civilizations also had slaves. The humans got exhausted and Volvox used his telekinesis to help the humans at times, the places of worship took years to build all over the world and more and more were added as centuries passed, the humans prayed, worshiped, and made offerings to the other creatures, their attentions got caught when they saw some of the native animals were revered by them as well. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna watched with shock when they saw some of the humans offered sacrifices to the gods appease them and they took them, they also performed rituals and black magic and spells that involved sacrificing someone, their eyes' widened and wings unfolded. The recording finished and everybody put it away, Volvox looked up at the sky and had sorrowful expressions on his three faces, most of his subjects went to go sleep while the world's natives also went home and slept. A few uneventful days passed and the Mane Six came to the land with Spike holding a bunch of papers and various tools, "What is this?" Rōjinbi asked, "I don't think you all noticed, but we are a land of friendship and forgiveness, that recording we saw a few days ago made us realize that you all are rather violent and seem to have a thirst for violence and war, that is not how we do things in this world, until you all go back to your world, you will adapt to our ways." Twilight Sparkle explained, "Um... you do realize we're mostly peaceful now, right?" Satan asked, "Mostly isn't enough, our world's magic is powered by love and friendship, things like revenge and war will weaken our world's magic." Twilight Sparkle answered, "Do they have any serious consequences?" Volvox questioned, "Yes, they do, if we're divided and fight, it will summon these creatures called windigos, they are evil spirits that feed off of hatred and fighting, they will put the world into an eternal winter and freeze us with their blizzards." Twilight Sparkle revealed, "I would like to see proof of that claim." Tom said, Volvox's subjects agreed, "Sure, the ponies over a thousand years old can show you, I'll go get them." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she teleported, she reappeared with Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Star Swirl the Bearded, they cast projections of historic events of their country and they saw the unicorns, Pegasi, and earth ponies fighting while Discord triggered some of the later ones, the windigos came and began freezing Equestria, "They don't look too strong." Typhon remarked, "They're very powerful, only creatures that can survive in their blizzard ridden world are the yaks." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Hello." the yuki-onnas said while ice and snow surrounded them, "Plus, several of us are gods, we can destroy them easily." Azathoth added, "Should we go along with their friendship lessons, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "Well, as powerful as we are if we attack together, we and the humans have always said that when we're in a foreign environment, we have to adapt to the cultures and customs of that area, so let's go along for now and try to avoid causing any unnecessary drama or violence." Volvox responded, "Thank you, we'd like to keep things peaceful, too, so my five friends here will start teaching you all our ways and hope we get along." Twilight Sparkle stated, and Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack stepped forward. The Mane Six taught Volvox's subjects their elements and all of them became confused, "Um, this is basic stuff for kids." a male orc commented, "I mean, most of our students are youngins." Applejack responded, "Friendship? Loyalty? I find those easier to learn from experience than being told by someone or read out of a book." Volvox remarked, "No worries, I got assignments to teach them loyalty." Rainbow Dash assured, and everybody watched. Fluttershy showed Volvox's subjects animals native to Equestria backed away from Volvox's subjects, "It's okay, some of them are scary looking, but they're actually really nice and friendly people." Fluttershy said, her pets came out from behind her and looked around, the demons, zombies, were-beasts, cyclopes, Laestrygonians, trolls, onis, namahages, nure-onnas, onikumas, ekeks, wakwaks, ogres, goblins, yowies, wendigoes, Volvox's pukwudgies, mngwas, nandi bears, skunk apes, Volvox's Cerberus, Orthrus, Volvox's Hydra, Volvox's Chimera, Volvox's Minotaur, Volvox's Sphinx, the Nemean Lion, the Erymanthian Boar, Volvox's griffon, Volvox's hippogriff, the Colchian Dragon, Ladon, the Caucasian Eagle, Shuten-dōji, the Gashadokuro, Yamata-no-Orochi, the Ushi-oni, Onihitokuchi, the Aswang, Volvox's Manticore, Azhi Dahaka, the Thetis Lake Monster, Volvox's Yeti, Volvox's Bunyip, Piasa, Kongamato, Grootslang, the Jersey Devil, and the Chupacabra all snickered while smiling and showing their teeth. Fluttershy's pets quickly backed away and hid behind her, "That wasn't very nice of you all, they are very welcoming cretures who were looking forward to meeting you all." Fluttershy reprimanded, her pets peeked out from behind her and Volvox's creatures walked closer to them and they went behind Fluttershy. Fluttershy stared at them but it had no effect on any of Volvox's creatures, "*gasp*! It... didn't... work." Fluttershy quivered, "You really thought that would scare us?" Typhon questioned, "It scares my pets and wild animals into immediate obedience." Fluttershy responded, "Well, my wild animal subjects here have years of experience in hunting, and some of them are sentient like you guys, a few of them are also Typhon's children, of course staring sharply at them isn't going to intimidate them." Volvox said, "Also look at how small you are when compared to some of us, some of us can eat you in one gulp." Dommiel added, Fluttershy quivered, "And my subjects, what did I say about not causing any unnececessary drama or conflicts?" Volvox reprimanded, the creatures stopped showing their teeth and behaved, "Thank you, I'll go ahead and continue, I think you all will be interested in our world's animals." Fluttershy stated, and she continued. She introduced Iron Will to them alongside their world's Cerberus, an orthros, Hydra, Chimera, Sphinx, a cockatrice, a manticore, a yeti, a roc, a phoenix, jackalopes, pukwudgies, and their world's Bunyip, "They have the same name as us." Volvox's Sphinx commented, "Yes, as you all can see, we have our world's versions of you guys, too, some are similar while some are completely different." Fluttershy responded, Equestria's pukwudgies and Volvox's pukwudgies glared and growled at one another, Equestria's pukwudgies shot their quills at them while Volvox's pukwudgies cast fire magic. Twiilght Sparkle and Volvox separated their pukwudgies from one another and they continued growling at one another, "Sorry about that, but our world's pukwudgies are aggressive and territorial." Twilight Sparkle explained, "Ours are basically the same." Volvox replied, his pukwudgies aimed bows and fired poisonous arrows and Volvox held them with his telekinesis, they heard fighting in the air and saw Equestria's roc and Volvox's Roc fighting one another, Rarity separated them with her telekinesis, they noticed the world's phoenix and Volvox's Phoenix were getting along and making art in the sky with their fire, Equestria's jackalope was also accepted by Volvox's jackalopes, "Well, look at that, looks like some of 'em managed to spark a friendship already." Applejack said, the classes resumed and Volvox's subjects learned nothing. Rainbow Dash tried to have the world's natives and Volvox's subjects work together, she tried to have them build a shack first and the dwarfs built one easily, she tried to have them row a boat next and Ikuchi sunk it with its long body, everybody struggled to swim and the changelings, seaponies, mermen, mermaids, ningyos, and the Nuckelavee carried everyone to the surface and Bigfoot and the Thetis Lake Monster pulled them out, "I guess that counts as teamwork in a way." Rainbow Dash remarked, the students waited for their next assignment while she tried to come up with something. Applejack taught about honesty and apples while Volvox's subjects were bored, "Sorry, y'all, but Ah'm really tryin' mah best here." Applejack said, "It's not that, it's just the way you're teaching honesty is almost like you're trying to teach a four year old, and there's too many different types of apples for us to memorize them all." a female fairy explained, "Oh, Ah see y'all's points, Ah couldn't memorize all of mah world's apples at first either." Applejack stated, "Out of curiosity, you're the most down-to-earth member of your group, why aren't you the leader for?" Persephone inquired, "Well, first of all, Ah ain't royalty like how Twilight is, and Ah'm just an earth pony, Ah ain't an alicorn like her either, so in terms of magic and raw strength, she's got me beat." Applejack answered, "You don't seem to have wings either." Poseidon observed, "That too, Ah can't fly either." Applejack replied, "You have anything else you can teach us?" a succubus asked, "Well." Applejack responded, and she began to teach them how to grow apples, how to harvest, and how to cook, bake, and make apple dishes. Rarity taught Volvox's subjects how to make clothes and how to share, the vampires became very interested in her class and began making fancy aristocratic clothes, "Oh, bravo, you all have such exquisite tastes in fashion, though I think you all should use more colors than mostly black." Rarity said, the vampires decided to replace the black clothes with white and red, "Well, wouldn't be my first choice, but I must admit the colors do blend rather nicely." Rarity commented, she looked at the other creatures and noticed the incubi and succubi making inappropriate clothing, she screamed and everybody looked at her, "What are these provactive outfits?! These are the opposite of fashionable! This is the worst possible thing! The! Worst! Possible! Thing!" Rarity ranted while the other creatures just looked at her and crickets chirped, the incubi and succubi looked at one another in confusion, "You all don't take fashion very seriously, do you?" Rarity asked, "Well, us vampires and the succubi and incubi do, but as for the others, not really, we don't really have the time to think about fashion when we spend a lot of our time either fighting or working in dangrous environments." a male vampire explained, "As for us, we're more focused on elegance, we wish to look nice when using swords and bows, our architecture being pristine and pleasing to the eyes, we do have fashion, but we prioritize other forms of art over it." a female elf stated, "Elegance, you say? I might be able to make something." Rarity said, and she tried to teach them about generosity. Pinkie Pie was trying to make Volvox's creatures laugh with jokes and her party cannon, they all just watched her and only went along whenever she needed a partner, "Why is nobody laughing?!" Pinkie Pie fumed, "Your humor seems more suited for human toddlers." a male teenage ghoul answered, "Human toddlers?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Yeah, different species' here have different senses of humor from one another, yours would've been more suited for the now extinct humans." a male were-bear child responded, "Well, can you at least partake in the welcoming party I prepared for you all?" Pinkie Pie requested, "Might as well." Volvox answered, and her party cannon went off, she gave out confectioneries to the creatures and the vampires, elves, incubi, and succubi handled them fine while the others gagged and vomited, "*gasp* Did I add something bad?!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, "Most of my subjects cannot digest sugar." Volvox responded, "Oh, fruity dishes, it is then." Pinkie Pie said, and she walked away and came back with bags of chips while the gods noticed some kind of power within her. Volvox's subjects were able to handle the chips and salty foods fine and some of them had fruits, "Aren't you pointy teeth creatures going to try any?" Pinkie Pie asked, "We can only digest meat." a male oni replied, the world's natives looked at them while exclaiming, "You guys eat meat?!" Silverstream inquired, "Don't you?" Volvox asked, "No, nocreature in this world eats meat, only ones that do are wild animals or those that eat fish, but as for sentient and civilized creatures, no, none of us need to consume meat to survive." Twilight Sparkle explained, "So you all survive on plants." Tom commented, "And gems." Spike added, "We don't eat meat, animals are our friends, too, and eating them would be destroying our friendship." Twilight Sparkle explained, "Okay, I'm not sure how that logic works." Michael remarked, "How about you? Do you have anything to teach?" Beelzebub asked, "Actually, I do, I teach my students how friendships come in all shapes, sizes, and forms." Twilight Sparkle responded, "You teach teenagers?" Dommiel questioned, "Yes, why?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Your subjects and teachings seem more suited for toddlers." a female dwarf replied, "What do you guys teach your creatures around my students' age?" Twilight Sparkle inquired, "Mating, how to reproduce, fight, cook, hunt, carpentry, house building, blacksmithing, medicine, anatomy, arts of all kinds if we have the time." a female fairy answered, "Wow, that's a lot." Fluttershy remarked, "Do you guys have conuseling?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "What kind of counseling?" Lucifer questioned, "You all come see me, we sit, you talk out your problems, and I give you advice and words of encouragement and comfort." Starlight Glimmer explained, "What kind of problems?" Tom inquired, "Relationship problems, social anxieties, friendship problems, and for the changelings, identity crisis." Starlight Glimmer answered, Volvox, his subjects, the gods, angels, demons, and fallen angels looked at her with unamused expressions, "You guys don't sound very strong mentally." Persephone remarked, "Don't you guys have counseling?" Starlight Glimmer questioned, "Yes, but not for things like relationship problems or friends falling out, well, the humans did, but the rest of us had counseling for things like violence and war." Volvox responded, "Aren't you all bothered by social stuff or personal relationship problems or failures?" Starlight Glimmer asked, Volvox and his subjects shook their heads, "Seems we can't really reach an understandin' after all." Applejack said, "What do you say, Volvox?" a male oni asked, "Let's try to go along, we have to adapt to this world's ways until we go back home." Volvox replied, "You do know we started this because of that recording you all watched of the humans and their destructive ways, right?" Twilight Sparkle reminded, "That wasn't the point of it, it was to remember them, the humans had good traits and bad traits, some wanted to make the world a better place, some wanted to cause trouble and destruction, the species was a mixed bag, just like the rest of the species' here." Zeus replied, "Oh, well, we can't really teach you guys anything, but if you all are still intersted in our school, it's over there in Equestria." Twilight Sparkle stated as she pointed to it and the others looked, "Come on, everyone, let's go ahead and head back." Twilight Sparkle said, and the world's natives left the land, "Wait a bit for now, let's see if they actually have anything worth learning." Volvox stated, the others agreed and they went on with their days. The next day came and Volvox's subjects watched Equestria's School of Friendship, the only class that caught their interests was Fluttershy teaching about Equestria's fauna on how they behave, what they eat, how to take care of them if owned as pets, how to tame them, and which ones are dangerous, they listened to Fluttershy tell her class about the animals and they smiled. She continued teaching and showed the students the smaller animals first, she also had Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle demonstrate how to clean and groom some of the animals while she cleaned and groomed the bigger and more dangerous animals, they then went elsewhere and Volvox's subjects watched them. Fluttershy led her students into the Everfree Forest and she began teaching the students about where the animals lived and how to behave if they encounter them, she then assigned homework to her students and they left. Volvox's subjects smiled and decided to watch her class and then looked at their provisions and saw meat was getting low, they decided to go ahead and rest for the day and relaxed until it was night time and most of the creatures slept. A few days passed and Volvox and his subjects watched Fluttershy tend to the animals and teach students about them, the carnivores under Volvox's rule began crafting ideas on how to hunt and mostly focused on the marine animals around their land, they got the fishing poles and nets the humans made and began fishing while the merfolks and ningens swam underwater and caught some of the fish and brought it up to the surface. The carnivores ate the fish while also going through the little meat they had left while the seaponies came to the surface and looked at them with surprise. Volvox's griffon and hippogriff flew and caught fish and ate them, they continued catching more and dropped them down to the others and they ate them, the mermen and mermaids sat on the land and ate the fish they caught. The ningens continued swimming through the sea and caught as much fish as they could while avoiding the fishing hooks and nets the wendigoes, were-beasts, and onis were using, they caught several fish and threw it up onto Volvox's land and the carnivores ate, they then came up and ate the remaining fish. Volvox's subjects caught fish pretty easily while getting hundreds of small fish with the nets, Fluttershy noticed and tears fell from her eyes at seeing them eat the fish while the other ponies and creatures gagged and some vomited. The herbivores began picking the plants on the ground and ate them while some ate nuts and berries, the world's natives observed them carefully while Twilight Sparkle took notes. Volvox then looked at how much food was left for everybody and then checked everybody's water and saw it was low, he used his telekinesis to fill the stone containers and then put them through filters the humans made to purify them and his subjects drank them. The vampires drank blood that they kept stored in their castles and the world's natives almost vomited, everybody was well fed and they all rested for the rest of the day and everybody slept. The next day came and the Mane Six and Cutie Mark Crusaders arrived, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, Volvox and his subjects looked at her, "You all owe Fluttershy and the seaponies an apology for yesterday." Twilight Sparkle announced, "For what?" Dommiel asked, "Those fish you all caught and ate yesterday were her friends, we're lightening your punishments to apologies since you all don't understand this world's ways, if you all did, all of you would be jailed right now." Twilight Sparkle explained while Fluttershy cried, "Were those fishes anybody's pets?" Volvox questioned, "No, they're our friends, they're kept out of homes and cages so they can be free." Apple Bloom explained, Volvox and his subjects looked on with confusion, "They looked like wild animals to us." Lucifer remarked, "They still had homes, families, and civilizations." Scootaloo stated, "We said before that some of us can only digest meat and nothing else, they will die if they consume anything else." Tom reminded, "Don't you guys have any meat of your own?" Sweetie Belle questioned, "It's starting to get really low, hence why we hunted." Michael explained, "You didn't have to eat our friends." Fluttershy lamented, "How were we supposed to know they were your friends?" Asmodeus asked, the ponies became speechless, "See, there you go, they were just wild animals to us, and our meat supplies were getting low, if we didn't get anything, my meat eaters would die." Volvox explained, "Ugh, your creator just had to make you all consume nothing but meat." Rarity exclaimed, "Um, do you guys have any alternatives?" Rainbow Dash asked, Volvox and his subjects shook their heads, "Well, no eating our friends, I'll try to make something with my magic, now apologize." Twilight Sparkle demanded, Volvox's subjects eyes' widened, "Seriously?" a male orc asked, "Just go along, we may not understand their ways, but this is still their home and land." Volvox stated, and they did, "Thank you, don't do it again, you all will be arrested next time." Twilight Sparkle said, "Is that why you all are here?" Gabriel asked, "Nah, we noticed y'all watchin' Fluttershy, so we decided to teach y'all about our animals and pets." Applejack answered, Volvox and his subjects agreed and smiled, "Great, let's start." Twilight Sparkle said, and they did. Fluttershy, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle walked forward and showed small bugs first, "These cutesy wootsy bugs are easy to maintain and take care of, they only have to be fed small meals and they're easy to clean." Fluttershy instructed, she stopped for a moment when she saw the carnivores smiling and bearing their teeth, "No! Don't you dare eat my pets!" Fluttershy warned, the were-animals changed to their animal forms and her pets backed away in fear, "Whoa, Ah sure wouldn't wanna be near 'em either." Apple Bloom stated, the skinwalkers walked forward and they changed to various animals. They walked to Fluttershy's pets and they sniffed them and got defensive, "Wow, so Fluttershy's pets can smell them and find them." Scootaloo stated, "It is how they determine who is a part of their family and who isn't." Fluttershy explained, "So that's what they do, transform into animals, just like the changelings." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "I think each one can only change to one type of animal though." Sweetie Belle replied, "Um, is it okay if we call you guys changelings?" Pinkie Pie requested, "Why?" a male skinwalker in a wolf form asked, "Well, your kind's name sounds unpleasant." Scootaloo answered, "Yeah, skinwalker is kind of scary sounding." Sweetie Belle added, "Really? The dragons thought it sounded cool." Smolder said, the ponies looked at the Dragon Lands and Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Garble, and the other dragons nodded in approval while smiling, "They will get confused for our world's changelings though, I think it will be best if we just call them animal shifters since the name 'skinwalker' will give our country's foals nightmares." Twilight Sparkle stated, "I'll take it." a female skinwalker in lion form stated, and the others nodded, "Um, you all don't have to agree if you don't like it." Twilight Sparkle commented, "Best we go along, plus, Volvox and the gods are watching us and will probably strike us down if we sitr up any drama in this world." a male skinwalker in tiger form replied, "Well, if you all are okay with it and wish to keep things peaceful, alright then." Twilight Sparkle stated, and Fluttershy taught more about her pets, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Volvox's Sphinx, Volvox's Roc, Piasa, Kongamato, and the Stymphalian birds flew to them and scared them, "It's okay, everybird, they won't harm you." Fluttershy reassured and they flew to them, they greeted one another while Fluttershy noticed Harry shaking at seeing the were-bears, onikumas, and skinwalkers in bear forms surround him, "Don't worry, Harry, they're just curious about you and won't harm you guys." Fluttershy stated, he relaxed and saw they continued watching him. Fluttershy and the Cutie Mark Crusaders taught Volvox and his subjects about the world's animals and the timberwolves caught their attentions, "These are really dangerous animals that will attack things on sight." Fluttershy said, Volvox's pukwudgies cast fire magic on them and burned them, "Well, Ah guess that's one way to deal with 'em." Applejack commented, "These here are the vampire fruit bats, you turn into a vampire if they bite you." Fluttershy stated as she presented them, the Stymphalian birds looked at one another, "Well, that's all we have, if possible, we'd like for you all to visit our countries and continue making friends and staying peaceful." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they left, "What do you say, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "Let's have a vote." Volvox suggested, the others agreed and they began. The rulers were meeting in Canterlot Castle and gathered at a table, "I have called you all here to talk things out and whether should we welcome the newcomers into our countries or not." Princess Celestia said, "Absolutely not, they ate our fish yesterday, they are not welcome in Seaquestria." Queen Novo stated, "I agree with mom here, those fish they ate were some we knew since childhood." Princess Skystar added, "What about the rest of you?" Princess Luna asked, "I suppose they would be okay, aside from the meat eaters, the others seem fine." Shining Armor commented, "I think we can find an alternative for them with our magic, but I think we can let all of them in, they haven't attacked us or anything, so maybe they're okay to welcome." Princess Cadance suggested, "I think I can let them in, as long as some of those dangerous looking ones and ones made of fire don't damage the country." Princess Ember said, "The ones made with fire can't enter Griffonstone due to our stuff being made mostly of straw." Grampa Gruff remarked, "Same with Mount Aris, they will burn our homes if they enter." Sky Beak added, "Kirin Grove, too, us having fire powers is what destroyed our first homes in the first place." Rain Shine spoke, "Yak worried fire creatures, ice creatures, wind creatures, lightning creatures, and giant creatures will destroy Yakyakistan, so no enter for them." Prince Rutherford announced, "Well, the changelings are pretty scared of them, but maybe we should try." King Thorax stated, "Let's try, brother, maybe we can learn something about them." Pharynx said, "I guess." King Thorax stated, "Alright then, that was settled rather quickly, I'll go ahead and inform them." Princess Celestia said, and she flew out of Canterlot and to the new land. Volvox and his subjects trained in combat or made art and Princess Celestia arrived and landed, "We have just had a discussion on our countries welcoming you all, due to you all eating fish yesterday, none of you are welcome in Seaquestria, those with fire bodies and powers cannot enter Griffonstone, Yakyakistan, Mount Aris, and Kirin Grove due to their entire architectures being made of flammable materials, those made of ice, wind, and lightning or have ice, wind, or lightning powers also cannot enter Yakyakistan due to their country being all snow and blizzards and storms can destroy their homes. You all are welcome everywhere else as long as none of you cause trouble." Princess Celestia reported, Volvox and his subjects looked at the other countries and noticed how different it looked from their world, "This world seems peaceful compared to Earth." Azathoth commented, "Yeah, especially the main land, looks like something out of a kid's tale." Zeus added, "From an artistic perspective, all of the bright colors and cutesy imagery is a bit overwhelming." a female vampire commented, "From what we've seen, it seems the country is filled with super peaceful and forgiving natives while its animals are all peaceful herbivores, almost like the place was created by someone who hates violence and fighting of all kinds." a male were-badger stated, "I wouldn't agree though, the main country also has birds of prey in it, too, so some of its animals are dangerous and hunt." Dommiel reminded, "Even so, it doesn't change the fact that the land is mostly big on friendship, forgiveness, and being pacifists, the humans had a saying about places and times like that making weak people." Volvox said, Equestria's natives looked at them with disapproval, "Seeing how they have magic and control nature, that might not apply to them, it seems to be the opposite for them, peaceful and good times make them stronger." Tom spoke, "Well, lucky them, if we were like that, we'd be weak and wiped out easily." Volvox said, "Don't forget that we can still become extinct due to powerful forces of nature, that's what wiped out our world's original animals." Beelzebub reminded, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and Morgawr looked down, "Well, let's remain here for now, we'll migrate when our food and resources get low." Volvox instructed, "How much longer till the wormhole opener can be used again?" Tom questioned, "Close to recharged, we can go home soon." a male elf answered, "Good, we got an alien species to wipe out when we get back." Selaphiel reminded, the others nodded while the ponies looked at them with disapproval, Volvox and his subjects focused on their own land and did not visit the others and the rest of the day was peaceful and quiet. The next day came and everything on the new land suddenly began changing, the inanimate objects changed to different inanimate objects while others flew around, the gods, angels, and demons used their powers to find the source and saw Discord flying around through the air while his body moved like a snake's, he continued causing chaos and Apep began getting stronger, Zeus threw lightning bolts at Discord and he dodged them easily, Thor then tried to send lightning strikes at him with his hammer and he dodged them, Odin managed to stab Discord's hair with his spear and pin him onto the ground, "What kind of being is this?" Typhon asked, "Oh, don't mind me, I'm just trying to spice things up and make this place more fun." Discord explained, "This is your idea of fun?" a male dwarf asked, "Why, yes, a little mischief never hurts to have." Discord replied, "You're being more annoying than fun." Volvox remarked, "Oh, come on now, where are your senses of humor?" Discord questioned, "Do others in this world find you funny?" a male troll questioned, "Of course, you all already met my dear best friend, Fluttershy, and she taught you about our animals, so I thought now would be a good time to introduce myself." Discord explained, Volvox and his subjects looked at him with bewilderment, "You? Best friends with that yellow horse who is always quiet and gets scared easily?" Mammon inquired, "Don't question our friendship." Discord warned, the people shrugged and Volvox moved Discord to Fluttershy's home with his telekinesis. The day went on as normal until Discord reappeared and multiplied while laughing, he caused more mischief and Azathoth and Yog-Sothoth tried erasing him from existence but Discord multiplied more and remained. Apep began warping reality to counter Discord's powers while absorbing the chaos he created, "Ooh, a person with powers like mine, this will be fun." Discord remarked, and he began using his powers more. Discord made chocolate rain fall out of clouds made of cotton candy and changed the nearby waters to fruit punch while Apep summoned earthquakes and tidal waves while changing the fruit punch ocean to lava and made lightning come out of the skies. Discord absorbed the lightning into himself and he grew in size while his laughter echoed, he raised his arms and made chocolate pudding burst out of the ground while Apep got empowered by the chaos and made a meteor fall out of the sky and onto Discord. Discord slithered out while laughing and made all of the buildings and inanimate objects fly around while Volvox and the others who had psychic powers quickly put them down, Discord summoned book pages that flew around while Apep shot small suns out of geysers and heated up the world, Discord changed them to big ice cream scoops. He then made cakes fall from the sky and Apep used his wind powers to blow them elsewhere, "Okay, I'll stop here, that was pretty fun." Discord stated, and he changed everything back to normal and disappeared, "How annoying." Set remarked, everybody nodded, "How's the wormhole opener?" Volvox asked, a female ghoul checked it, "It's fine." the female ghoul reported, "Any damages done to it?" Dommiel questioned, "We're not seeing any." a male wendigo answered, "Good, well, come on, we got some cleaning to do." Tom stated, and they began. Volvox and his subjects checked the humans' graves and made sure they were alright, Anubis made the skeletons float and everybody counted each one, they discovered every human was still present and buried them. Volvox's subjects undid the damages Discord caused and noticed Fluttershy standing by, "I'm terribly sorry for the destruction Discord caused, while he is my friend, I can't control him, everyone else has an uneasy alliance with him." Fluttershy explained, "It's not hard to see why, he's strong enough to be a god." Stolas remarked, "Is everyone okay?" Fluttershy asked, "We're fine, but he damaged much of our land." Volvox responded, "He's the spirit of chaos, orderly and peaceful things not only bore him, but will also make him fade from existence." Fluttershy explained, "If he's always like that, then perhaps erasing him from existence would've been for the best." Shub-Niggurath remarked, "I heard that!" Discord hollered from far away while his voice echoed, "Anyway, if you all migrate to Equestria and visit me, you all will have to get used to him." Fluttershy stated, "Probably best we avoid him." Volvox replied, the others agreed, "Well, we won't force you guys to visit us, but we would at least like to remain on good terms." Fluttershy stated, "As long we remain at peace and don't go to war, we're fine." Volvox said, "Good, we would like that, too." Fluttershy commented, and she flew away while Volvox and his subjects continued cleaning their land. The next day came and Volvox and his subjects did their daily routine of paying respects to the humans, praying, cleaning, and making offerings at the places of worship, and training for combat, they began preserving their meat since it was starting to get really low, they looked at the foreign lands and saw Twilight Sparkle was trying to create a meat substitute while Sunset Shimmer told her the nutritions in them alongside their textures, she had a hard time making it and tried transforming various inanimate objects into meat. She sighed and teleported to the land with the meat. She handed them out to the carnivores and tried them, they nodded, "This will do." a male cyclops reported, "Oh, thank goodness, I worked for hours making this, I was about to snap if you guys didn't like it." Twilight Sparkle spoke, "It's acceptable." a male were-shark commented, "I'm glad, just no more eating our world's animals." Twilight Sparkle requested, "Very well." Volvox said, "Thank you, just keep it that way, and we'll be fine." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she flew away. The world's natives watched the new land's people and they got on with their days quietly, they heard the Mane Six giving a history lecture and they watched, they saw Star Swirl the Bearded, Flash Magnus, Mistman, Mage Meadowbrook, Somnambula, Rockhoof, Stygian, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Discord with them and they stood at the statues of Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek, and Cozy Glow. They listened and heard the Mane Six talk about their many battles from Nightmare Moon to Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek, and Cozy Glow teaming up, the princesses, Pillars, and Stygian talked about their own adventures, they finished listening when the talks about their enemies and threats stopped while they realized the world was overall more peaceful than their own and they just got on with their days. A few hours passed and everybody had a peaceful day while Sunset Shimmer went over to the land, "Excuse me." Sunset Shimmer said, Volvox and his subjects looked at her, "Would you all like to see the humans in my world?" Sunset Shimmer asked, everybody murmured to one another, "Sure, a glimpse wouldn't hurt." Volvox responded, "Um, you sure you all don't want to meet them?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "How did you get here?" Tom questioned, "Through a magic mirror." Sunset Shimmer responded, "How big is it?" Lucifer asked, Sunset Shimmer conjured an image of the mirror with her magic, "Yeah, probably not, a lot of us are too big to fit through it." Dommiel said, "Why don't me and the other shapeshifters go and disguise ourselves as them just like when we were at war and gathering info?" Popobawa suggested, "Actually, when you go over to that world, you automatically change to either a human or another animal." Sunset Shimmer explained, "Oh." the creatures said, "Let's go ahead and send our most human looking ones then, so incubi, succubi, were-beasts, and swan maidens, go ahead and go." Volvox stated, and they went to Sunset Shimmer, she teleported them to Twilight Sparkle's castle and they went into the mirror. Nyarlathotep made a reflection appear in the ocean and they watched the people who went to Sunset Shimmer's world, the incubi and succubi changed to rabbits, the swan maidens changed to swans, and the were-animals changed to whatever animal they transform into at night, "Whoa, it's probably best I send you marine animal guys back." Sunset Shimmer said, and she pushed them back into the mirror. The others went forward and everybody looked at them, "Don't mind them, everybody, they're just from Equestria's world and here to visit out of curiosity." Sunset Shimmer stated, and they went forward while Volvox's subjects noticed the world's humans using electronics and had earphones on, "What do you guys think so far?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Very different from the humans of our world." a swan maiden answered, the others nodded in agreement, "Well, come on, I'll show you all around campus, animals aren't allowed in the school." Sunset Shimmer said, and they followed her. The incubci, succubi, were-animals, and swan maidens saw the many school clubs and some of the students doing academic work inside the building, "Humans in our world having a school like this was a pretty recent development when they went extinct, most humans went to school to learn how to fight in the early years." a male were-lizard spoke, "Yeah, maybe the only things this school has that our world's humans' schools had were archery and fencing." a female were-jaguar added, "What about sports?" Sunset Shimmer asked as she directed their attentions to Rainbow Dash playing soccer, "Hmm, sometimes, but the most common sport the humans played was wrestling." a succubus replied, "We don't have that at this school." Sunset Shimmer commented, "So, is this all there is to this world?" another swan maiden asked, "Oh, no, there's a lot more, come on, I'll show you all around." Sunset Shimmer responded, and she walked. They left the school and led them elsewhere, "Don't mind us, everybody, I'm just showing them around and will take them home afterwards." Sunset Shimmer announced, and she took them to a nearby studio where the Daring Do movie was filmed, she also took them to stores and restaurants, "So there is some similarites between this world's humans and our world's." another succubus remarked, "What are they?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "The stores and restaurants, our world's humans had them, too." another incubus answered, "Amusement park's this way." Sunset Shimmer spoke, "Our world's humans had those, too." a female were-sloth stated, "Wow, come on, I'll take you guys to see." Sunset Shimmer stated, and she did, she showed them the place and then took them to the beach, "These are the last of the close areas, last place after this is my house." Sunset Shimmer stated, "Can we see the environment you live in?" a male were-cheetah requested, "Sure, this way." Sunset Shimmer responded, and she led them. They arrived and saw Sunset Shimmer lived in a suburban environment, "Hmm, it's no different from our world's humans' recent living environments." a male were-wolverine commented, "Recent?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Throughout history in our world, humans mostly lived as farmers and far away from one another." a third swan maiden explained, "Oh, I've learned from my time here that some of the humans here used to live like that, too." Sunset Shimmer stated, "Well, according to our observations, this world's humans seem more peaceful and relaxed and look to be entertained, unlike our world's humans, who were focused on combat and warfare and almost always training." a third succubus reported, "I think this world's humans were like that thousands of years ago, too." Sunset Shimmer stated, "Oh." the third succubus said, "Anywhere else for us to see?" a third incubus asked, "Well, there is, but they're far from here and would take a long time to go to by foot." Sunset Shimmer replied, the swan maidens flew up and looked around, "You won't see the areas from the sky." Sunset Shimmer commented, and they flew down, "Well, anyway, that's pretty much everything to show around here." Sunset Shimmer stated, "Sunset?" a familiar voice called out, they looked and saw the world's version of the Mane Six coming, Volvox and his subjects took notice and realized it was that world's Fluttershy who called out to her, "I can take them to the animal shelter if you're looking for a home for them." Fluttershy suggested, "Whoa, wait, wait, wait, wait, this isn't what it looks like, they're actually people who came to my home world recently." Sunset Shimmer responded, "What'd ya mean from yer world?" Applejack questioned, "Well..." Sunset Shimmer said and she explained the situation, "Wow, so there's a lot of new creatures in that land?" Spike asked while Volvox and his subjects took notice of his dog form, "Yeah, more than any land I ever saw in Equestria or here, these guys here will probably be leaving soon though." Sunset Shimmer stated, "Don't mind us, we're just seeing how similar and different this world's humans are from our world's." the first swan maiden reported, "Still, another world with humans in it, that's awesome." Rainbow Dash chirped, "Rainbow, darling, remember what Sunset just said, they're extinct." Rarity reminded, "They were no different from this world's, were they?" Pinkie Pie deduced, "Actually, a bit different, this one seems more interested in having fun than surviving." a female were-hyena responded, "Sounds like your world's humans are living in a more dangerous world than ours, I can see that easily from what I heard Sunset said and you guys." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "Well, one thing we have noticed here is a lack of magic when compared to the humans from our world." a fourth succubus stated, "We have magic, but it's usually just us, and we're empowered by gems, the others here are usually empowered by magical artifacts found throughout the world and they usually don't produce good results when used by the humans in this world." Sunset Shimmer explained, "Yeah, a lot of them used magic for evil purposes and we had to destroy the artifacts." Rainbow Dash added, "What can you guys do?" a fourth incubus asked, Twilight Sparkle used telekinesis, Rainbow Dash ran at blinding speeds, Fluttershy communicated with animals, Pinkie Pie made sweets and candies explode by throwing them, Rarity shot gemstones out of her hands, Applejack picked up objects too heavy for a human to pick up, and Sunset Shimmer touched them and saw their memories, "Wow, so there is some magic here in this world." a male were-newt remarked, "Yeah, but not much, we're pretty much all there is left." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Thank you for showing us, we'll be going back now." the second swan maiden stated, and they and Sunset Shimmer went back to Equestria while their friends said bye to them, Nyarlathotep made the reflection in the ocean disappear and they waited for the others to return. They came back and went to Volvox's land, "Did you all see what it was like over there?" Sunset Shimmer asked, Volvox and his subjects nodded, "Living environment is a bit similar, but they seem to care more about having fun and being friends, very little magic and no spiritual powers." Volvox stated, "Were you all happy to see humans again?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Well, they are different from ours, much more variety in skin and hair colors, but yes, it was nice and sad at the same time to see a species extinct in our world still thrives elsewhere." Tulzscha answered, "Well, I'm glad, contact me in Equestria if you all wanna see them again." Sunset Shimmer stated, and she teleported back to Equestria, the rest of the day remained uneventful and peaceful. The next day came and the wormhole opener was fully recharged, "Okay, we can go home now." a male oni said, "Everyone, stand by and be on guard in case something hostile comes through." Volvox ordered, and they did while the world's natives watched. A female ghoul activated the wormhole opener and set the coordinates, white electricity appeared and the land became distorted and a strange object appeared, "Something's coming through!" Gabriel reported, and they got ready. A spaceship with the insectoid emblem of the species that wiped out the humans came through and began flying around, it shot beams everywhere that destroyed the land and structures, Volvox shot his hellfire blasts from his three mouths at it while Zeus throw thunderbolts at it and the pukwudgies shot arrows and fire at it. The flying ship shot bullets, lasers, and missiles everywhere while dumping chemical agents and firebombs out of its underside. Everybody with long-range attacks either shot or threw their weapons at it but a force field deflected everything, the angels and demons flew to it and got on it, they began stabbing their weapons through the spacecraft and took out its engines. The spaceship continued firing its weapons while telekinesis was used to make it fly again, Michael flew and cut the spaceship in half with his flaming sword. The pieces fell and everybody saw the aliens were dark blue insectoid creatures with four arms, two legs, eight octopus-like tentacles coming out of their backs, they were hunchbacked and their heads were shaped like wolverine heads with four thick tendrils under their noses and covering their mouths. The aliens began using psychic powers and shot their brainwaves forward that destroyed the land, Thor swung his hammer to shoot lightning at them but they used magical and technological shields to block them, they aimed guns with their back tentacles and fired lasers that destroyed everything they touched, Onihitokuchi tried smashing them with his hands but they held him up and threw him over themselves. Azathoth tried erasing them from existence but the aliens mutliplied themselves with magic and continued attacking, they shot white light out of their eyes' that destroyed everything they touched while also shooting white light projectiles out of their four arms. Volvox and his subjects tried to get them but they ran and flew at blinding speeds while some swam underwater, they created natural disasters with their magic and psychic powers, Volvox his subjects eventually rounded them up and Volvox held them with his telekinesis, the giant creatures slammed their limbs down and smashed them, the aliens reappeared as ghosts and tried to attack but Hades, Anubis, and Pixiu quickly destroyed their souls. Volvox and his subjects sighed with relief while the world's natives watched them, "Everyone alright?" Volvox asked, they nodded, "So that's the species that made the humans extinct." a male orc remarked, "How's the wormhole opener?" a mermaid asked, "We still got enough energy to go back." a female dwarf responded, "Let's go then." Poseidon stated, "You guys don't want any farewell gifts?" Flash Magnus suggested, "No, it's fine, we weren't here that long anyway." a male golem stated, "It never hurts to say goodbye, lad." Rockhoof spoke, "Come on now, you all can at least say farewell." Somnambula suggested, "We didn't really do much here, though." Tom remarked, "That's not a reason not to say goodbye." Mistmane responded, "Yeah, we always bid farewells, even to people who just met." Mage Meadowbrook added, "What about the rest of you?" Dommiel asked, the other creatures native to the world nodded, "You all may have been mostly neutral, but you all won't be forgotten." Stygian stated, "I doubt that." Volvox remarked, "You won't, me and my friends here were still remembered even a thousand years later." Mage Meadowbrook reminded, "Indeed, we wouldn't forget people like you all so easily." Star Swirl the Bearded added, "Alright, we'll take the farewell gifts." Volvox stated, and they gave it to them, "Is that all? Alright, let's go home." Volvox siad, and the wormhole opener was activated again and they went back home while the world's natives said bye to them, "Good, they're finally gone, I'll never forgive them for eating our fish." Queen Novo remarked, "Well, they were mostly neutral and didn't understand our ways, but they didn't seem like bad people." Princess Luna said, "Indeed, it's too bad we couldn't establish trade and relationships with them." Princess Celestia stated, "Well, hopefully, our lessons in friendship and forgiveness will lead them to having a change of heart and offer friendship to the creatures that came through the first portal." Twilight Sparkle remarked while looking at the sun and smiling. Volvox and his subjects arrived back in their home realm and they immediately began looking for the planet of the aliens that made the humans extinct, they found them and they launched an all-out attack together that made the aliens extinct and Volvox blew up the planet with his hellfire blasts. The Maker tried to remake the humans but discovered it could not and the humans' souls were fused to the now extinct aliens and they had cast a spell to nullify The Maker's powers in reviving them and it was still in effect even after the aliens' extinction, everybody visited the humans' graves and looked down a bit, they then remembered the humans in the world Sunset Shimmer was in and smiled since the species will continue to live on elsewhere. Canon PersonalityA land ruled by humans were doing a festival, the humans lived in modern day, but were acting like they lived in Medieval times. The country still had a king, his name was Tom, he had an oblong face shape, tan skin, short light black hair, and blue eyes, he wore black and gold armor, he had a gold saber sheathed on his left hip, and was liked by the humans, but every human knew, he was just a figurehead, the true ruler was Emperor Volvox, the emperor of the underworld. Volvox was a quadrupedal, but was extremely big, he was three thousand feet tall, and looked even taller when he stood on his hind legs, three hundred fifty feet wide, three hundred feet long, and had three heads, each head was shaped the same, the back of his head was shaped like semicircle, with the front being shaped like two right triangles that were back-to-back, Volvox also did not have any ears or noses, his six eyes were all monochromatic, and did not have any pupils or irises, they were on the sides of his head, and slanted. The right half of his body and his right head were gray and skeletal, the head did not have eyes, so the spaces were black, and its teeth were white, so were the five claws on his right front foot and right hind foot; the left half of his body and his left head were black and shadowy, the head's eyes and teeth were red, the five claws on his left front foot and left hind foot were also red; his center head, spine, and tail were pink and made out of a parasitic-like skin, his spine had yellow seven pointed star-like organic matter growing on him, each point was sharp and could be detached from his body, so they could be thrown for self-defense reasons, the tip of his tail was also yellow, it shaped like the tip of a spear, the back corners of the tip of Volvox's tail had sharp ends as well, and the center head's eyes and teeth were yellow, he did not wear any clothes or a crown. Volvox controlled the underworld with a strict but fair rule, he had an army, a navy, and an air force, his entire military was massive, his first line of defense was always the zombies and skeletons, since they were mindless, and easy to control telepathically, Volvox did not like them, and he thought there was too many, they do not have a leader. Volvox's next line of defense was the mortals who came to him after they died, they serve under him as slaves as punishment for being wicked when they were alive, while it was consisted of mostly humans, Volvox also had vampires, were-beasts, elves, fairies, dwarfs, giants, Valkyries, trolls, ghouls, goblins, ghosts, and mummies who continued to commit crimes after they died, Judas Iscariot was the leader of them. Volvox's next line of defense were the fallen angels, who were sent to him as punishment, and they serve him, some liked serving him, others did not, and tried to rebel, they were killed by Volvox's demons, the leaders of the fallen angels were Abaddon and Azrael. Volvox's next unit were his demons, he had three different types: the land demons, the aquatic demons, and the aerial demons, he had so many, most people do not dare challenge them, as each one was faster, stronger, and more durable than even the most physically fit humans, but did not have magic of their own, they were led by Lucifer, Leviathan, Satan, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Mammon, and Belphegor. Volvox kept the underworld under watch by seventy two different demons, they ranked lower than the Princes of the Seven Deadly Sins, each one is very powerful, and had different powers from one another, they were Bael, Agares, Vassago, Samigina, Marbas, Valefor, Amon, Barbatos, Paimon, Buer, Gusion, Sitri, Beleth, Leraje, Eligos, Zepar, Botis, Bathin, Sallos, Purson, Morax, Ipos, Aim, Naberius, Glasya-Labolas, Buné, Ronove, Berith, Astaroth, Forneus, Foras, Asmoday, Gaap, Furfur, Marchosias, Stolas, Phenex, Halphas, Malphas, Raum, Focalor, Vepar, Sabnock, Shax, Vine, Bifrons, Vual, Haagenti, Crocell, Furcas, Balam, Alloces, Caim, Murmur, Orobas, Gremory, Ose, Amy, Orias, Vapula, Zagan, Valac, Andras, Flauros, Andrealphus, Kimaris, Amdusias, Belial, Decarabia, Seere, Dantalion, and Andromalius, each one commanded several legions of demons, and one legion had five thousand demons in it, and seventy two of them together commanded a grand total of two thousand seven hundred forty legions. Volvox kept a lot of monsters under his command as well, the monsters he had under his command was the Cerberus, the Orthrus, the Kraken, the Hydra, the Chimera, the Minotaur, a few Harpies, the Sphinx, Scylla, Charybdis, several Tengus, a few Gashadokuros, plenty of Kitsunes, lots of Tanukis, a few Yuki-Onnas, thousands of Onis, a lot of Umibōzus, the Azukiarai, the Bake-kujira, lots of Bakenekoes, the Enenra, every single Kappa, the Ushi-oni, the Hibagon, Bigfoot, the Yeti, the Hone-onna, the Ikuchi, the Isonade, the Loch Ness Monster, the Morgawr, the Issie, thousands of Ittan-momen, the Jorōgumo, several Kamaitachis, a few Nekomatas, the Wanyūdō, a lot of Kechibis, the Keukegen, the Mizuchi, a lot of Mujinas, a lot of Mu-Onnas, tons of Namahages, a few Ningyo, the Nue, very few Nure-Onnas, a few Ōkubis, the Ōmukade, thousands of Onibis, the Onihitokuchi, several Onikumas, the Raijū, the Rōjinbi, a lot of Satori, the Shuten-dōji, a few Tenka, a clan of Tsuchigumo, the Tsurube-otoshi, a lot of Yadōkai, a lot of Wendigos, the Basilisk, the Cockatrice, the Mongolian Death Worm, the Lambton Worm, the Azhi Dahaka, hundreds of Mngwas, the Bunyip, the Nemean Lion, several Skunk Apes, the Thetis Lake Monster, thousands of Nandi Bears, the Tarasque, thousands of Yowies, the Chupacabra, the Jersey Devil, hundreds of Manticores, the Erymanthian Boar, thousands of Golems, the Nuckelavee, hundreds of Stymphalian Birds, the Goatman, hundreds of Trolls, the Hound of Baskervilles, the Catoblepas, the Boogeyman, the Kongamato, a few Rocs, the Piasa, thousands of Ogres, hundreds of Centaurs, hundreds of Satyrs, thousands of Draugr, the Kelpie, the Lou Carcolh, very few Alps, the Penanggalan, the Aswang, and the Manananggal. Volvox had incubi and succubi living as regular people in the underworld, but they fought in wars with him as well, he used to have Formorians as well, but they all fled when their king, Balor, was killed in battle. Volvox also had several traitors in his kingdom as well, but he was betrayed by them because two people betrayed him first, the first one was Apep, which led to Set betraying him as well, along with other creatures, the second traitor was Typhon, his treacherous second-in-command, it led to many creatures and Echidna turning against him as well, but the underworld fought them and got some of their children under their command again. Volvox's second-in-command now was Dommiel, and his bodyguard, he was also one of his advisers, along with Judas, Azrael, Abaddon, Lucifer, Bael, Paimon, Beleth, Purson, Asmoday, Vine, Balam, Zagan, Belial, and Haurus. The underworld had torturers for those who Volvox did not like personally, his chief torturer was a ghoul named Giovi, he was five feet and ten inches tall, he had an inverted triangular face shape, his eyes did not have any irises and pupils, so they were completely white, his ears were pointed, his hair was straight, went down to his scapulae, and black, he did not have bangs, he had a mesomorph body, and was extremely muscular with a six-pack, he was shirtless, and wore black and metallic pants and mid-calf length boots that were also black and metallic. Giovi's species has black claws for their fingers, thumbs, and toes, but the claws on his hands were severed when he was alive, so Giovi used his fire magic and telekinesis to make ten silver knife blades that were sharp on both sides and had sharp tips, he then used telekinesis to put the knife blades on the stumps of his hands and wrapped them in place with white cloth. While Giovi can speak, he chose not to, because he believed actions were more powerful than words. Tom and the humans continue partying with the festival, Volvox was kind enough to let the residents of the underworld party with the humans if they wanted to, but do not cause any chaos or hurt the humans, Volvox has threatened to kill them personally if they hurt the humans, mainly the incubi and succubi went, vampires and were-beasts attended as well, only a few goblins, trolls, ghouls, elves, fairies, and dwarfs attended, bored with the festival. The alchemist of the party was experimenting with alchemy, and made a potion, "Ahem, attention, everyone, please." the alchemist said, and everybody looked at him, "I made the potion I was talking about earlier, I am about to use it." the alchemist said, Tom and the humans were excited, "Please do, we have been dying for some real magic at this festival." Tom replied, the humans agreed, the monsters present agreed as well, "All of my demons, come back to my world just in case happens, we can't risk you guys being exposed if we end up somewhere with monster haters." Volvox said from under the ground, he had a deep and booming voice, he spoke with his center head, the skeletal head and shadow head can speak, but he chose not to. The monsters go back into the underworld while Volvox meditates to see them come, Dommiel stood to his right, he was about eight feet tall, and had a muscular body, he wore a dark blue suit of armor, he had three red-orange organic spikes on his pauldrons, a white spike on the back of each couter, white spikes on the back of his bracers and gauntlets, a white spike on the top of each sabaton, the end of his sabatons were also pointed and sharp, his cuirass did not have any decorations on it, and his leg armor were custom-made he had one piece cover his entire shins and calves, knee pads, another piece cover his entire thighs, front and back, and a piece of armor that protected his genital and gluteal areas, Dommiel's helmet covered his entire head, leaving only his glowing red eyes exposed, he had three white horns on his helmet, two on the sides, and one on his forehead. Dommiel looked at Volvox while he sat on his hind legs, he did not have a throne, "Volvox, what do you think the Count of Saint Germain is doing?" Dommiel asked, "I don't know, but I am curious." Volvox replied, "I was wondering if we should tell him to stop." Dommiel said, "No, let him use it, the festival's been boring, this might make things interesting." Volvox replied, "I guess you're right, your demons do look bored as of now." Dommiel said, "That's because they've been alive for thousands of years, they're basically used to pretty much anything happening." Volvox replied, "How old were you again, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "Fifteen billion." Volvox replied, "I still think you should give your seventy two lieutenants and the Seven Princes a break, training and commanding thirteen million seven hundred thousand demons is tiring." Dommiel said, "I have to watch over them, too, along with those seventy two lieutenants, the Seven Princes, Judas, those zombies, mummies, elves, fairies, dwarfs, vampires, were-beast, ghosts, goblins, ghouls, ogres, incubi, succubi, giant birds, monsters, cryptids, yokai, those monsters, and my two pets, I have to command even more than them, I also have to command you, Dommiel." Volvox replied, "Yeah, but they get hungry, thirsty, and tired, Volvox, you don't, you also don't have to use the bathroom." Dommiel said, Volvox saw Dommiel had a point, "Why did you appoint me to be your second-in-command for?" Dommiel asked, "Because you have proven yourself to be loyal to me, and you're a competent fighter, I would've chose the strongest one, but I made that mistake twice already, they wanted to betray me." Volvox replied, "Why didn't you make Lucifer your second-in-command?" Dommiel asked, "Because he looks like the type that would want to overthrow me, and I have to keep an eye on Judas as well, he betrayed his former boss, he might try the same thing with me." Volvox replied, Dommiel agreed by nodding. Volvox and Dommiel hear screeching and they saw Volvox's two pets fly to him, they were birds, both males, one was red, and the other was blue, the red bird was a phoenix and had orange fire engulf his entire body, while the blue bird was a thunderbird, and had blue lightning engulf his entire body, Volvox just named them Phoenix and Thunderbird since that was what they were, the two were extremely loyal to him since he took care of them ever since they were babies. The alchemist gets everything set up, "Okay, here we go." the alchemist said, and he uses a technological device to open a portal to another area, he throws the flask with the dark green liquid in it into the portal, it breaks and the liquid spills. The portal goes haywire and gets bigger, everybody gasps while the portal engulfs their land, it soon disappears. Everybody looks around and sees everything looked the same, "I don't see any differences." the woman said, "Uh, guys?" a male toddler said as he pointed his right index finger to behind, the alchemist turned around and looked with everyone else, they all saw the Canterlot Castle behind them. The humans look around and they soon see the ponies, dragons, griffins, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs look at them, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna walked to their balcony to see the humans, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor were watching from the Crystal Empire, Thorax was flying in the air and watching them, Princess Ember and Dragon Lord Torch were watching as well, Prince Rutherford was on a mountain, looking at the humans, Grampa Gruff was watching from his home country, Princess Skystar, Queen Novo, Sky Beak, and Ocean Flow were looking from their homes, and Twilight Sparkle, Spike, and Starlight Glimmer were looking from their castle. The humans and Tom look around with surprise, "Were we supposed to get transferred here?" Tom asked, "No, the potion and portal were supposed to send us back in time." the alchemist replied, "Back in time? To when?" a human female asked, "Back when we and monsters lived together." the alchemist replied, "Uh... but we already live with monsters." a boy said, "Yeah, but not together in unison like before." the alchemist said, "What do we do, Your Majesty?" a man asked, "Hold on, I'll go see the emperor." Tom replied, and he walked away, orange flames appear beneath him and he goes into the underworld. Volvox was holding a meeting with Dommiel, Judas, Azrael, Abaddon, Lucifer, Bael, Paimon, Beleth, Purson, Asmoday, Vine, Balam, Zagan, Belial, and Haurus, Phoenix and Thunderbird were on bird stands. Tom walked to them and they all looked at him, "What is it, Tom?" Lucifer asked, "I came to ask what to do." Tom replied, "We're all confused, Emperor Volvox is trying to decide what to do right now." Judas said, "Why don't we attack them to show these natives that we are powerful and not to be messed with?" Tom asked, Volvox and his advisers glare at him, "What?" Tom asked, "Are you stupid? Attacking them directly is idiotic, it'll sour relationships immediately, and we don't know what they're capable of." Volvox replied, "But I heard you attacked several other creatures many years ago." Tom said, "That's because they attacked us first." Paimon replied, "Oh." Tom said, "I'm having Satan watch the other five princes, they're confused, too." Lucifer said, "So are the other lieutenants, none of us know what to do." Bael replied, "The humans are confused, too, I've come here for advice." Tom said, "What are they doing now?" Vine asked, "The alchemist is trying to find a way to send us back." Tom replied, "The monsters are confused, too, but they're behaving themselves." Belial said, "Good, the last thing I need is them running wild." Volvox replied, "Can we let them out for fresh air?" Tom asked, "No, Tom, some of them are violent." Purson replied, "Indeed, you should be grateful, too, some of those monsters ate and killed humans before Volvox tamed them." Asmoday said, Tom was shocked, "Well, anyway, everybody's confused, none of us have any ideas on what to do." Balam said, "Should we continue the festival?" Tom asked, "We have bigger concerns right now, Tom." Zagan replied, "What else is there to be worried about?" Tom asked, "Well, we don't know if our enemies are here, too or not." Haurus replied, "Yeah, this world will be doomed if we go into another war with either Apep or Typhon." Dommiel said, "Hey, where's Giovi?" Tom asked, the demons glare at him, a red light appears to Tom's left and it changes to Giovi, "How are the torturers, Giovi?" Volvox asked, Giovi shook his head, signaling they were confused as well, "Well, as we were saying, it's not Apep or Typhon that will destroy this world, going to war against the overworld will, all of those angels and gods will have no mercy on us next time." Volvox said, "That reminds me, that human, Ezekiel, who has been after us has not been seen." Azrael said, "Yes, we have not seen him, we believe he is beneath notice." Abaddon said, "Everybody is worth noticing, it's those that you don't notice that will overthrow you." Volvox replied, "Well, what should I tell the humans? They're all eager for my answer." Tom said, "Tell them to continue with their days, but do not travel outside the country." Volvox replied, "Very well." Tom said, and he left to go see the humans. The humans wait patiently for Tom to return, he comes back and walks to them, "What did he say?" a male human asked, "Continue with our days, but stay in the country." Tom replied, "Makes sense, we are in a foreign land." a woman said, "True, we don't know what kind of dangers are out there." a boy replied, everybody agreed and they continue with the festival. The festival continues while Tom looks around worriedly, he wondered what Volvox was thinking, "Hey!" a female voice said, they all look and saw Pinkie Pie hopping to them, "Can I join?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Uh, well, it's not my call." Tom replied, "Well, can I meet the party planner?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Hold on, I'll go ask him." Tom replied, and he was about to leave, but purple flames appear in front of him and a light brown paper appeared, he grabbed it and opened it, he sees Volvox has written she can attend, "You can join, but don't cause any trouble." Tom said, "Whoo-hoo!!" Pinkie Pie said loudly while the humans just looked at her, "Wow, you people are actually very accepting." Pinkie Pie said, "You're actually cuter than most of the monsters we see." a boy replied, "Monster? I'm not a monster, I'm a pony." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, you can attend, just don't cause any trouble." Tom replied, and Pinkie Pie joined the humans in the festival. Volvox watches with a screen he has made with his magic, the festival bored him, so he let Pinkie Pie join in hopes she can spice things up, he and Dommiel soon see Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Applejack come over to ask if they could join, Volvox gave Tom permission to invite them, hoping they could make the festival more interesting, "Uh, Volvox, the next three look regal." Dommiel said, and Volvox sees Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence walking over, "My, you are quite inviting, I'm Princess Celestia, this is my sister, Princess Luna, and my adopted niece, Princess Cadence, we're the rulers of Equestria and the Crystal Empire, I control the sun, Luna controls the moon, and Cadence spreads love throughout the land." Princess Celestia said, "I don't like the sound of that." Dommiel said, "Me neither, that makes me hope Ra, Apollo, Amaterasu, and Tsukuyomi didn't get transferred here, but I do wonder how they would react if they saw the Bakunawa, and Cadence better hope for the best Zeus isn't here, I can't imagine how she crazy she'd be around him, since Zeus can't keep it in his pants." Volvox replied, Dommiel chuckled, "I see, what brings you three here?" Tom asked, "Actually, we were hoping we could speak with your ruler." Princess Celestia replied, "Oh, that would be me, I'm this country's king." Tom said, "Oh, well, in that case, we would like to welcome you all to this world." Princess Luna said, "Sorry, but no one can travel out the country for now." Tom replied, "Well, lift it, I think a lot of creatures would want to visit your country, and vice versa with you guys." Princess Cadence said, Tom turned around, "What do the rest of you say?" Tom asked, they all agreed, the Mane Six and princesses smile, "Hold on, I'll be back, I'll go ask the others." Tom said, and he ran, the humans gathered around to hide him, Tom went back into the underworld. Volvox just sat on his hind legs and heard running, he saw Tom enter his quarters, "I already know, Tom, let's lift it for now, but keep your guards up in case they attack us." Volvox said, "You need to lighten up a bit." Tom replied, "Tom, trust me, if you've been doing this for as long as I have, you'll have to take precautions, I've had many countries establish trade and relationships with me just so they can invade us later." Volvox said, "Still, I wish you'd lighten up a bit." Tom replied, "I'm afraid we can't, Tom, you know full well Osiris and Hades can invade us anytime, Anubis might invade us as well." Dommiel said, "Okay, I'll go tell them." Tom replied, and he ran out. Tom returned to the surface world and the humans stepped to the side as he walked to the princesses, "They said yes." Tom said, the Mane Six cheered, "Yee-haw, Ah can get some new customers for mah cider." Applejack said, "More people to watch my Wonderbolt shows!" Rainbow Dash said, "Parties!" Pinkie Pie said loudly and happily, "I can't wait to meet the animals of your country." Fluttershy said, "I must explore this country and see what fashion you all have." Rarity said, "I can have more creatures attend the School of Friendship." Twilight Sparkle said, confusing the humans, "Uh, most of us already finished school." Tom said, "The School of Friendship is for all ages, it teaches to accept everyone, despite their differences." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, I'm not too sure about that, we have thousands of different cultures." Tom said, "That's amazing, send one person of each culture to the school, then." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Sorry, but only a few of those cultures are here right now." Tom said, "Oh, well, then send the ones you have now." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Sorry, kids, but it looks like we don't have a choice." Tom said, the children groan in disappointment, "Hey, our school is different, we make sure it's fun for everyone." Pinkie Pie said, "That sounds assuring." a boy replied sarcastically, "Come on, we think you guys will like it, we'll give you a tour." Fluttershy said, and the kids go. Volvox and Dommiel watch through a screen and see the kids enter the school, "Hi, everyone, welcome to the School of Friendship, I'm Spike." Spike said, "What are you supposed to be?" a girl asked, "I'm a fire breathing dragon." Spike replied, "It's a shame we couldn't get any dragons." Dommiel said, "I know, but they're too violent and unpredictable to have, and the Chinese Dragon would never serve under me." Volvox replied, "What about the Nāgas?" Dommiel asked, "They serve the gods, and the Ryūs are in their own leagues." Volvox replied, "Hey, look, there's another person coming." Dommiel said, and he and Volvox watch, "Hello, everyone, I'm Starlight Glimmer, I'm another administrator at this school." Starlight Glimmer said, the children were not surprised at seeing Starlight Glimmer, "Another unicorn." Dommiel said with boredom, "They're not like the ones back at home, though." Volvox said, "Come on, I'll show you all to your classes." Starlight Glimmer said, and she led them. The students go through the classes and were bored in every class except for Pinkie Pie's class, they were not learning anything about friendship, they did not interact with the other students due to them still being new, but six students did go over to greet them, "I'm Sandbar, I'm an earth pony." Sandbar said, "You look a bit like a regular horse." a boy replied, "I'm not, I'm a pony." Sandbar said, "I'm Gallus, I'm a griffon." Gallus said, "Well, that's a new type of griffon." Dommiel said, "Yeah, I've never seen one like that one before." Volvox replied, "I'm Smolder, I'm a dragon." Smolder said, "Another dragon." Dommiel said, "Yes, it seems the dragons in this world are friendlier." Volvox replied, "I'm Ocellus, I'm a changeling." Ocellus said, the kids were confused, "What?" Ocellus asked, "Sorry, it's nothing." a girl replied, Dommiel and Volvox were surprised as well, "She doesn't look anything like a changeling." Dommiel said, "I know, the changelings in our world are fairies." Volvox replied, "Me Yona, me yak." Yona said, "A talking yak?" a boy asked, "All yak talk." Yona replied, "The ones in our world don't." a girl said, "Oh, so Yona teach yak talk." Yona said, the children smile a bit, they found her broken English kind of funny, "And I'm Silverstream, I'm a hippogriff." Silverstream said, "Hippogriff? That sounds familiar." Dommiel said, "There was one in our world, it had the front half of an eagle, and rear half of a horse, it was the child of a mare and a male griffon." Volvox replied, "Oh, I remember now, shame you couldn't catch it and tame it." Dommiel said, "Someone else got it." Volvox replied, "Well, to better our relations, we were hoping we could be welcomed into your country." Sandbar said, "I guess, it's not like we have a choice." a boy replied, "Really?! Yay! Let's go!" Silverstream said, and they all go while Dommiel and Volvox watch. Tom was busy speaking with Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence to establish trade relations and diplomacy, the three princesses were overjoyed, the humans were liking the world so far, the people seemed friendly. The kids return from school and go to their country, "How was the school?" Tom asked, "It was alright." a boy replied, the other kids agreed, "Well, since the other countries are starting to bond with the others, I'll inform the rulers to come meet you." Twilight Sparkle said, "Wait, this is going a bit too fast for my liking." Tom replied, "Well, you are new here, so we might as well let you all know where the other countries are." Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright, but don't rush it." Tom replied, and the other rulers come visit the humans, they were all not surprised by the physical appearances of the natives of the world, due to Volvox's many monsters, which they have already seen, they see the rulers of the other countries come and Volvox just watched while Tom was greeted by them, they all begin conversing and Tom had trouble understanding Prince Rutherford, and he found Grampa Gruff's attitude unlikable, "Now, Tom, the first thing we want you and your people to do is respect and understand each creature's cultures and customs." Princess Celestia said, "That shouldn't be too hard, I mean, my people have thousands of different cultures and customs." Tom replied, the humans murmured in agreement, "Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, I wanna learn them!" Silverstream said, "It's going to take you years to learn them all." Tom replied, "Yona want learn culture, too." Yona said, "Do you guys have any fighting?" Princess Ember asked, "Yeah, we have those sometimes." Tom replied, Princess Ember was happy, "What are you guys called?" Queen Novo asked, "Humans." Tom replied, "Do humans have music?" Prince Rutherford asked, "Yeah, we have music." Tom replied, Prince Rutherford smiled, "I hope you all are tough, and not puny people." Grampa Gruff said, the humans look at him with confusion, "Uh, our species has been around for millions of years, we're at the top of the food chain now." a boy said, "Oh, so you all are tough, I like that." Grampa Gruff said with a smile, the humans smiled back, "If possible, I want to learn the ones present, too." Twilight Sparkle said, "Okay, but don't disrespect our customs, either." Tom replied, and the others agreed, and the creatures enter the country to learn about the different cultures of the humans, much to their surprises, they left after many hours and the day ended. A few days pass and the Count of Saint Germain was still trying to work on a potion to send them back home, Volvox watched the humans from the underworld and they were having trouble respecting foreign cultures and customs, especially yak culture, they were very specific and petty, and declared war at the slightest offense, the griffons and dragons were not any better, they were unfriendly, they could not fully learn the entire cultures of the ponies and hippogriffs due to the humans being unable to fly or breathe underwater, and the changelings did not really have much of a culture, the humans did meet Shining Armor and Flurry Heart, though, Flurry Heart was especially excited to meet the humans. Volvox and Dommiel hear about Rainbow Dash's pranks and then the one Ponyville pulled on her, the two were unamused, "Seriously? Zombies?" Dommiel asked, "I know, right? Their zombies eat cookies? My zombies eat people." Volvox replied, and they see the humans go back to their home country. Tom was doing a roll call to make sure every human was present, they had mixed feelings about the world, "Uh, Tom?" a man asked as he pointed with his right index finger, Tom turned around and saw a male human coming, he had tan skin, a round face, and brown eyes, his hair could not be seen, he was wearing the armor of an Aztec Eagle Warrior. Volvox groaned in disgust while he shook his head, Volvox did not have a good relationship with the deities back in the human world, he kind of disliked Buddha, he had some dislike for Odin, he somewhat disliked Izanagi, Izanami, and Susanoo, he really disliked Ookuninushi, he hated Indra, he hated Enlil as well, he also hated Loki, Volvox also highly disliked the Greek gods, he especially hated Zeus, Eris, Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, and he hated the Aztec gods the most, "You never did state why you dislike the deities you dislike, Volvox." Dommiel said, "Buddha learned a group of people went through eighty disasters when they were on their way home, and Buddha made another one happen just so they can have eighty one disasters, eighty one divided by nine is nine, and that's Buddha's lucky number. Odin had his own followers killed and they got sent here, and one time, wouldn't let Thor cross a bridge while bragging about how many women loved him. Izanami died while giving birth to Kagutsuchi, which caused Izanagi to kill him, he tried to get Izanami back, but ran away in fear at seeing her new body, and blocked one of the entrances to this underworld with a boulder, Izanami got mad and said she would kill a thousand people every day, while Izanagi said he would birth a thousand five hundred people, and Susanoo was born from his nose. Susanoo was very violent, and destroyed his Amaterasu's rice paddles, crapped in her irrigation ditches, threw crap at her temple, and killed her hand-maidens when he threw a horse at her loom, she went into hiding because of him. Ookuninushi caused a plague during an emperor's reign, and wanted a new temple to end it, it was built, but he was still mad, and made the next emperor's son stupid, and he wanted another temple because of it. Indra sent dancing girls of his court to disrupt prayers if a human, god, or demon had too much power, and he would make love to the wives of the sages by disguising himself as them. Loki tried to destroy our world with Fenrir and Jörmungandr. Zeus is unfaithful to his wife and gave humanity evil in the first place with Pandora's Box. Eris made a golden apple dedicated to the most beautiful goddess, which caused conflict between Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, which led to the Trojan War happening, and Athena also turned Arachne into a spider when she beat her at a weaving contest. The Aztec gods demand sacrifices of the mortals, children and babies included." Volvox explained, Dommiel remembered all of those events happening, he and Volvox keep watching the human. Tom looks at the human and watches him, the others countries see him as well, Rarity had a disgusted face, she did not like his outfit at all, while Fluttershy was concerned, she thought the Eagle Warrior outfit was made out of real eagle, "I am Eztali, I would like to speak to the ruler." the warrior said, Tom walked forward to go see him, "What do you want?" Tom asked, "No, not you, the real ruler." Eztali replied, shocking the other countries, "What?" Princess Luna asked, Twilight Sparkle and her friends watch uncomfortably, "Sorry, but the answer's no, in our culture, foreigners are not allowed to meet the emperor." Tom replied, shocking the other countries again, the rulers were unhappy as well, "I wish to speak with him." Eztali said, "I'd be willing to give him a message." Tom replied, "No, I'd like to see him directly." Eztali said, "He's still not going to allow you to see him." Tom replied, "I'd figured this would happen, my ancestors did say he is stubborn, good thing I came prepared." Eztali said, "With what?" Tom asked, the humans were then grabbed from behind and held hostage by other Aztec Eagle Warriors, "Now, he doesn't have a choice." Eztali said, Volvox and Dommiel watch him and notice Tom and the others were in danger, "What shall we do, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "Unleash the zombies, mummies, and skeletons, I'll direct them telepathically." Volvox replied, and Dommiel used his telekinesis to open the gates that contained them, Volvox led them telepathically. Eztali waits for Volvox to appear, but the ground erupts under his warriors, they are grabbed by the zombies and they scream, the humans of the country run away, "Z... Zombies!" one warrior said, and they all run back to Eztali. The zombies burst out of the ground and moan as they walk towards the Aztec warriors, each zombie had monochromatic white eyes, and grayish skin. The Aztec warriors fight the zombies and kill several of them easily, but some zombies overpowered them and began eating them, the humans screamed, Ponyville was horrified, "They're eatin' people!" Applejack said, "Come on, we have to stop them." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the Mane Six goes over to stop the zombies. The Aztec warriors fight back and take down most of the zombies, but the ground bursts open to the left and the right, mummies come out of the left area, and skeletons come out of the right, each skeleton had a sword and a shield. The mummies shoot their bandages at the Aztec warriors and wrap them up while the skeletons stab and kill a few of them, the zombies then ate them, the Aztec warriors bitten by zombies turn into zombies themselves, and fight the invaders, "Stop!" Twilight Sparkle said as she held the zombies, mummies, and skeletons up, the Mane Six and rulers of the countries go to the humans, "What is going on here?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Their emperor disrespected the gods of my culture, they have sent me here to settle things." Eztali replied, "You know our customs, no foreigners see the emperor." Tom said, "What? Why not?" Rainbow Dash asked, "That's just how our culture is." Tom replied, "Tom, please, we must." Princess Cadence said, "Sorry, but you have to say your concerns to me." Tom replied, "Every human knows you're just a figurehead, you have no power." Eztali said, "Over this area, I do." Tom replied, "Tom, please, we have to see the emperor if we want to discuss trade and foreign relations." Princess Celestia said, "He's not going to answer." Tom replied, "Just as I thought, he has all of this power, and yet, he sends his undead army after us." Eztali said, "What are those?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Zombies, they're the emperor's very first line of defense." Tom replied, "I noticed somethin' strange." Applejack said, "What?" Tom asked, "When someone got hit by one of 'em zombies, they changed into one." Applejack replied, "Oh, the zombies carry diseases, whoever is scratched or bitten by them change into one." Eztali said, Rarity exclaimed out of shock, "How filthy! Those zombies need to take a bath!" Rarity said, "What are those?" Twilight Sparkle asked as she pointed to the left with her front left hoof, "Mummies." Tom replied, "What are those?" Fluttershy asked, "It's when a dead body is preserved so it does not decay over time." Eztali replied, "I must say, what a waste of material, those linens could be used to make some gorgeous outfits." Rarity said, "Are there anymore creatures besides those skeletons?" Princess Celestia asked in a stern tone, "Yes, the emperor has a lot of creatures." Eztali replied, "Strange, though, he usually only sends zombies and skeletons as his first line of defense, the mummies are with his second line of defense." Tom said, "Well, tell the emperor we'd like a word with him the next you visit him." Princess Celestia said, and the natives of the world left. Eztali holds his sword at Tom's neck, "What are you doing?" Tom asked, "The emperor has many powers, and yet, he chooses to hide behind his military, like a coward." Eztali replied, "You dare imply cowardice on my part?" Volvox asked in his usual deep and booming voice, it scared the natives of the world when they heard him, the humans look and see Volvox was beside Eztali's right foot, used his powers to shrink himself to the size of a fairyfly, "Uh-huh! So the emperor finally shows himself! This is for my gods." Eztali said, "Tell Tezcatlipoca to find a new way to be worshiped." Volvox replied, shocking the Aztecs, "Even when you are in danger? You still show blasphemy?!" Eztali asked, "I told your chief god many years ago, I do not like having people sacrificed to be appeased." Volvox replied, the natives gasp, "What?! Sacrifice to be appeased?!" Princess Luna asked, "What about you? You have slaves under your command." Eztali said, "They committed wicked deeds while alive, they serve under me as slaves as punishment for the crimes they committed." Volvox replied, "Nevertheless, it is time you have been punished for your disrespect, prepare yourself, emperor!" Eztali said, he was about to hit Volvox with his macuahuitl, but Volvox grabbed it with his front left foot and lifted Eztali off of the ground, "Argh!! What is this?!" Eztali asked in horror, Volvox threw him in the air and he screamed as he hit someone's house and broke the roof, "Withdraw!" one Aztec warrior said, and they all fled. The Mane Six, Young Six, and rulers of the other countries go back to them to see Volvox, they were shocked by how small he was. Princess Celestia tried to look down to see him, but she had trouble, so she used telekinesis to pick him up, everybody was shocked by how small he was, "This emperor? Yak demand answer for such small size!" Prince Rutherford said, "He can change how big and small he can be." Tom replied, surprising everyone, "I can go smaller than this." Volvox said, "Don't, you're already hard enough to see that small." Princess Skystar said, "So you're the ruler?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "Yes." Volvox replied, "Well, in that case, we'd like to see you every time we have to discuss things." Twilight Sparkle said, "Okay." Volvox replied, "Does that mean I have to step down, Emperor?" Tom asked, "No, keep your position, I need someone to keep an eye on the surface world." Volvox replied, "Surface world? You live underwater?" Silverstream asked, "No, he commands the underworld." Tom replied, "Y'all have a Tartarus, too?" Applejack asked, "Well, you can put it that way, it's huge." Volvox replied, "Let's go back now, it's getting late." Grampa Gruff said, and they all left. Volvox went to go check on Eztali, he was unconscious, so he just uses telekinesis to put him out of the country, and goes back into the underworld. A few weeks pass and the relationships with the other countries sour a bit due to Volvox having slaves, the other rulers have asked him to free them, but he said that they serve him as punishment for their wicked lives. Princess Celestia demanded that he change his policy to only letting those like the petty thieves serve him a temporary amount of time instead, and Volvox reluctantly agreed. The alchemist continues making a potion, he finished one, "Attention, everybody." the alchemist said, and the humans look at him, "I have finished a potion, let's see if it sends us back home." the alchemist said, the humans smile and watch with excitement. The alchemist uses a technological device to open a portal, he throws it in, hoping it would send them home, it did not, it made the Burj Khalifa come into the world instead. The natives of the world look at it with shock, "Whoa! That thing is huge!" Rainbow Dash said, "Indeed, that's the tallest building I've ever seen." Fluttershy replied, "Oops, it looks like the potion still needs some work on it." the alchemist said, "Well, get to it, then, still, I remember when we constructed this." Tom replied, "Yes, it's the biggest building we've ever made." a woman said, they hear Silverstream squeeing behind them, they turn around and see her, "You all built this?" Silverstream asked, the humans nod, "Wow! It's the biggest building ever!" Silverstream said, the humans did not argue because it is the tallest skyscraper in their world, the other creatures travel to the country to see the skyscraper, "What's going on all of a sudden?" Tom asked, "We want to see the building, we have never seen a building so big." Princess Cadence replied, "Yes, it looks like a tower." Shining Armor said, "Goodness, building this must have taken a long time." Sugar Belle said while Big Macintosh stood to her left, the other creatures look at it, some flew to the top of it, surprising everyone, "Please I must know its secrets." Twilight Sparkle said, "What secrets?" Tom asked, "How you guys built it, the materials, the base shape, and I want to know how the base supports all of its weight." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I must say, it has caught my curiosity as well." Princess Celestia said, "Indeed, this world has never seen such a big building." Princess Luna replied, "Come on now, everyone, leave for now, since you all like it, we have to set things for this to be a tourist site." a man said, the creatures smile and they all leave, "I'm still surprised at how huge this got." a girl said, "Exactly, it's the exact same height as the emperor." a man replied, "No, it's not." Volvox said, scaring the humans, they look and see Volvox was using an invisibility spell, he takes it off and reveals himself, standing on his four legs, and at his regular size, the native creatures see him and were extremely shocked at how big Volvox truly was, "See? I'm still taller than this." Volvox said, "Emperor? What are you doing here?" Tom asked, "My two pets wanted some fresh air." Volvox replied, "Oh." Tom said, "Who said this building's the same height as me?" Volvox asked, "I did." the man replied, "Well, get your measurements right next time." Volvox said, and he lifted the building out of the ground with his front left foot, it was as light as a feather for him. The man screamed as he saw Volvox was about to throw the building onto him, "Volvox! No!" Princess Celestia said, he looks and saw her flying to him, "This is a tourist attraction for your country, you should keep it." Princess Celestia said, "It's not really normal for me to have tourist attractions." Volvox replied, "Well, keep it, it'll improve relations with us." Princess Celestia said, "Alright." Volvox replied, and he put the building down, the native creatures cheered and Volvox went back underground while Princess Celestia left. A few days pass and the humans have been dealing with destroyed homes, the creatures noticed their struggle and wondered what was going on, a boy catches what was causing the chaos, and to the surprise of the humans, it was the Dover Demon. Tom goes to the church and rings the bells, the ground bursts open and Volvox came out, the humans glared at him, "What is it?" Volvox asked, "One of your monsters has been causing us trouble." a man replied, surprising the native creatures, "Which one?" Volvox asked, "This one." the boy who caught it replied, Volvox uses telekinesis on the Dover Demon, "This isn't one of mine." Volvox said, "Wait? The Dover Demon doesn't belong to you?" a girl asked, "No, it doesn't." Volvox replied, Fluttershy flew to it, "Can I see it?" Fluttershy asked, and Volvox shows it to her, "Oh, this is a new one." Fluttershy said, "It's from our world, it's called the Dover Demon." Tom replied, "Dover Demon? He doesn't look like a demon to me." Fluttershy said, and she cuddles with him, it became friendly, "See, he just wants friends." Fluttershy said, the humans did not buy it, "Come on now, let's get you a nice new home." Fluttershy said, and she took the Dover Demon with her, the native creatures go to her to look at it with curiosity, the humans shrug and Volvox just goes back into the underworld, the ground fixes itself in the process. Two days pass and the humans lived peacefully, native creatures came just to see the Burj Khalifa. The natives left and the humans hear hissing in their country, the other countries look at the country. Volvox comes out of the underworld and uses telekinesis on what was causing it, surprising everybody, it was the Flatwoods Monster, "Dang, the Flatwoods Monster got transferred here, too." a boy said, "Before you guys ask, no, this isn't one of my monsters." Volvox said, the humans coughed and gagged due to the monster's odor, it smelled burnt and metallic. The Mane Six and rulers go to the country to see the creature, "Oh my, Equestria has never seen such a creature." Princess Celestia said, "Can we see it?" Pinkie Pie asked, "No, that thing's dangerous." Tom replied, the Flatwoods Monster hisses and it scared everyone, Princess Luna casts a spell to put it in ice, "Bring it to me, I'd like to study it." Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright, but don't expect much." Volvox replied, and he used his telekinesis to give it to her, and everything went back to normal. Four days pass and nothing interesting happens, the humans hear fighting in their country and they look, the racket was so loud, the other countries watched them again. Volvox came out of the underworld to see as well, he saw it was two creatures fighting, "Oh, those two are at it again." Volvox said, "Who is it?" Tom asked, "You're about to see." Volvox replied, and the two creatures come into sight, they were humanoid monsters, "Hey, it's Mothman and Owlman." a boy said, "*sigh* those two are fighting again." Tom replied, the two creatures screech as they fight, "No! Stop it! Both of you!" Fluttershy said angrily as she flew to them, the two look at her, and were about to continue fighting, but Fluttershy stares at the two. Mothman and Owlman become scared and fly down to the ground and get on their knees', "Now, we're going to settle this peacefully, I would like to know what started the feud." Fluttershy said, the two did not respond, "You do know they can't speak, right?" a boy asked, "No worries, I have many ways to understand animals." Fluttershy said, Twilight Sparkle walked to them, "Mothman, Owlman, please, no fighting, I'm trying to work." Twilight Sparkle said, the two looked down, "Come with me, you two, I think we might be able to find something you two might like together." Fluttershy said while smiling, and the two follow her while she walks away. The humans look on in shock at the fact that Fluttershy was able to control Mothman and Owlman, while Volvox went back into the underworld. A week passes and the alchemist keeps working, the humans were on better relations with the countries, but they still had strained relationships with the yaks, the griffons, and the dragons, they got along with everyone else, however, they all met in a building in the center of the world, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, King Thorax, Princess Skystar, and Queen Novo would all gather together to discuss relations, Volvox would go occasionally, and shrink down to their size. A woman in the human's country screams and a boy runs to them, "Help! Spring-Heeled Jack is here!" the boy said, scaring the humans. Spring-Heeled Jack jumps onto a house with a sack of coins on his waist, the humans scream at seeing him. Spring-Heeled Jack jumps towards the humans with knives in his hands, Tom is knocked down by him and some of the humans run away while screaming while the rest tried throwing things at him to distract him, one man grabbed him from behind and Spring-Heeled Jack jumped, he went very high, the other countries were shocked to see how high he can jump. Spring-Heeled Jack throws the man off of the roof and he screams, Lyra Heartstrings uses her horn to catch him in midair. Spring-Heeled Jack jumps back towards Tom, he takes his sword out and the two begin fighting, the two were at a stalemate for now. Spring-Heeled Jack hits Tom with the back of his right hand and sends him flying, he grunts and falls, Spring-Heeled Jack jumps towards him and was about to stab the knife in his right hand into his head, but telekinesis is used and he is held in the air. Tom gets up and turns around, he saw Princess Celestia using telekinesis as she and the others walked to him, "Who in tarnation is this?" Applejack asked, "Spring-Heeled Jack, he's another creature from our world." Tom replied, "Creature? He looks like a human." Twilight Sparkle said, "He's what we call a humanoid monster." Tom replied, "You all looked scared." Princess Luna said, "That's because he's strong, he's a robber, too." Tom replied, "Well, in that case." Princess Celestia said, and she casts a spell to freeze him, "If possible, can I have a look at his boots?" Rarity asked, and Princess Celestia uses her magic to get them off and give them to her, "Well, thank you again." Tom said, "You're welcome." Princess Celestia replied while smiling, and they go their separate ways. Volvox was watching from the underworld, he did not help because he knew Spring-Heeled Jack would be stopped. Two days pass and nothing happens, but the humans hear running in their country, they could not find the source, which scared them, Tom called Volvox again, he came to the surface world, "What is it?" Volvox asked, "We're hearing a lot of running recently, and we don't know what's causing it." Tom replied, Volvox was unhappy, he hears the running and sees what caused it, he used telekinesis on it, "Oh, I'm so scared." Volvox said sarcastically, and he shows them what was causing it, "It's the Headless Horseman." Volvox said, and he put it down, the Headless Horseman's horse walked to the humans, several foreigners were in the country, "Uh, that's... actually kind of scary." Sugar Belle said, "You guys are scared of it?" a woman asked, "Kind of, yeah." Apple Bloom replied, "We actually have a similar tale." Scootaloo said, "And what would that be?" Tom asked, "The Headless Horse." Sweetie Belle replied, "Well, I hope you guys are happy, this was a waste of my time." Volvox said, the humans looked down, "Uh, Volvox?" a boy asked nervously from behind, "Hmm?" Volvox asked while turning around, he sees another creature on horseback, "Dullahan's here, too." the boy replied, "I see, go on, Dullahan, and don't kill anyone." Volvox said, and the black horse Dullahan was on walks towards the mortals, the ponies, dragons, yaks, griffons, changelings, and hippogriffs were shocked at what they saw, "Dullahan at your service." Dullahan said in a male voice, "Wait, how can you speak with no head?" Rainbow Dash asked, Dullahan reaches into his thighs with his left hand and holds up his head, which had a wide smile, some of the natives of the world exclaim, "Ah must say, that is downright creepy." Applejack said, "Eeyup." Big Macintosh replied, "I cannot say other people's names, they will die if I do." Dullahan said, "Wait a minute, is that a vertebrae in your other hand?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Uh, well?" Dullahan asked, Princess Celestia walked to them, "Headless Horseman, Dullahan, if possible, try to be a bit quieter, we've been hearing you two roaming around at night as well, and it's waking us up." Princess Celestia said, "My apologies." Dullahan replied while the Headless Horseman just looked down, "Don't contact me about horse related problems again unless it's the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse or the Sluagh on horseback." Volvox said, and he went back into the underworld, the Headless Horseman and Dullahan rode off and everybody resumed their days. Two weeks pass and the humans were doing trade with every country, Ponyville got attacked by a ursa minor one week ago, Twilight Sparkle used her magic to get him out. The humans were getting on with their days and a boulder lands in the city, the humans scream at seeing it, an old man runs to the top of his house's roof and looks on with a telescope, the old man becomes scared, "What do you see?" Tom asked, "Talos!" the old man replied with horror, the humans screamed in terror. Tom ran to the church to ring the bells, Volvox came to the surface world, he sat on his hind legs, "What is it this time?" Volvox asked, "Talos! He's here!" the old man replied, Volvox was surprised, "Wait? Talos is here?" Volvox asked, the old man nodded, "Volvox, please, you must protect us." a woman said, "Hold on a minute, you guys are starting to get dependent with me protecting you guys, I won't always be available, I'll let you guys deal with him on your owns." Volvox replied, "But we're no match for someone like him." Tom said, "Sure you are. What do you guys know about him?" Volvox asked, "Uh, that he's a giant." a girl replied, "Okay, what else?" Volvox asked, "He's invincible." a boy replied, "Well, yes, but he has one weakness, what is it?" Volvox asked, "A nail in his left ankle." another boy replied, "See, there you guys have it, you all know how to beat him, I'll let you guys defend yourselves this time." Volvox said, and he goes back into the underworld, "Okay, everyone, let's come up with a plan." Tom said, "It's too late for planning, he's here." the old man replied, "What? Already?" Tom asked, a house gets destroyed and everybody sees Talos come to them. The natives of the world look on in horror at seeing the seventy meter tall bronze statue walking to them, with a sword in his right hand. Talos walks to them and tries to step on the humans, they scream while several humans tried throwing rocks at him, some shot arrows, some tried using spears to distract him, none of them worked. Talos picked up a house and threw it onto the ground, some humans screamed as they were smashed by it. The humans were struggling against Talos, he would not walk forward, he swings his sword down and the humans scream as it hits the ground, he then picks up another house and throws it onto more people. Tom notices the alchemist was nowhere to be seen, but he ignores it and tries to command the others, "Lure him forward!" Tom said, and the humans tried, but Talos did not walk, he continued to just stand and swung his sword again, the humans ducked to dodge it. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs go over to help, Twilight Sparkle and the other unicorns shoot him with their magic, it did nothing, Talos grabbed the Pegasi, griffons, dragons, and hippogriffs with his left hand, they screamed in terror, Princess Ember tried using her fire breath on him, it did nothing, Maud Pie tried punching his left foot, it had no effect, "Okay, there should be a nail on him somewhere." Rarity said, Talos walks forward with his left foot in hopes of smashing more people, they move away, they see the nail in his left ankle, "There it is." Applejack said while she pointed her front right hoof. Tom took his sword out and ran to it, he tries to remove the nail with it, it would not budge. Applejack and Big Macintosh run away and come back with rope, they wrap it around the two rods, the two pull on it while Tom uses his sword in hopes of removing it. Talos looks back to see what was going on behind him, but the others distract him. Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Maud Pie go to Tom to help him remove the nail, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash grunt since the nail was on tight, it turns a little and white smoke began to come out. Talos looks back again to see what was happening, he dropped the people in his left hand in the process, the unicorns and changelings used their magic to catch them. Tom, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Maud Pie, Applejack, and Big Macintosh continue to try to remove the nail, it was on tight and not moving much. Gallus and Smolder joined to help Applejack and Big Macintosh move the rope, the nail moves a little bit, Sandbar and Silverstream then grab the rope, Ocellus tried to pull the rope with her mouth as well, the nail turns a little bit, Yona runs to them to help and she charges into the nail from the right. The nail comes off and the ichor pours out, Talos begins to scream and grasp his neck with his hands, everybody watches, he stops and begins to crack, he starts to fall and everybody runs away and he hits the ground, his arms and head break off. Everybody walks back and looks at the broken Talos, "Is everybody okay?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It seems that way, thank you, all of you." Tom replied, the creatures smile, "So, uh, what do we do with all of the bronze?" a boy asked, "I don't know, there's not much we can do." Tom replied, "Well, you could share it with us, we did help." Princess Celestia said, the creatures agree, "Alright, but moving it is going to be hard." Tom replied, "Nah, I'm sure some unicorn magic will be enough." Twilight Sparkle said, and she tries to lift the pieces, she could not even lift one piece, "See, this is going to take a while to move." Tom said, "Let yak help, yak good at moving things." Prince Rutherford said, the others agree, "Let's get to work." Tom said, and everybody starts working together. Everybody breaks Talos' body into small pieces so he could be moved, the earth ponies, yaks, and dragons use rope and begin pulling the pieces of bronze forward, everybody else pushed from behind, the ponies used it to make jewelry, the changelings used it as tourist attractions, the griffons used it to fortify their country, the dragons used it to make new armor, the yaks used it to build new homes, and the hippogriffs used it to make new art. Everything went back to normal for the time being. A week passes and people were celebrating a boy's birthday with a big birthday party, Pinkie Pie helped set it up, Tom ran to them, "Everybody." Tom said, the humans look at him, "I just got a message from the emperor, five of his monsters have gotten loose, they're roaming around right now." Tom said, "I wonder who they could be." a woman said, "We'll worry about that later, let's enjoy the party." another woman replied, and they do. The party goes on for a few minutes until an attack happens, the humans in the area scream, they hear growling and grunting, they all see it was Goatman, he was wielding an axe. Goatman attacks and the humans scream while he destroys the party material, he growls while swinging it around, "No! Bad goat!" Fluttershy said angrily, Goatman was about to attack her with his axe but she stares at him, it scares him into submission and he fell to his knees, "Apologize, it took me a long time to set this party up!" Pinkie Pie said angrily, and Goatman just looked down, "You can't take this one, Fluttershy, he belongs to Volvox." Tom said, "Just where in tarnation did he get that axe?" Applejack asked, "We don't know, he already had it when Volvox found him." Tom replied, "Well, hand it over, uh... um...?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Goatman." a man replied, "Goatman?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yeah, he's half human, half goat." Tom replied, "Well, Goatman, please give us the axe." Sunset Shimmer said, she has come to visit due to Twilight Sparkle writing about the new human country, so she decided to see them out of curiosity, but Goatman would not hand it over, Rainbow Dash touched it with her front left hoof, Goatman growled and was about to attack her with it, Rainbow Dash was about to hold the axe back, but Starlight Glimmer uses her telekinesis to hold him up, "Okay, I guess he wants to keep it." Starlight Glimmer said, "Behave for now, Goatman." Tom said, and Goatman looked down, he was put down and the party continued. About an hour passes and everybody hears walking, "This way, guys." a boy said, they all look and see three more of Volvox's monsters, they were Bigfoot, the Hibagon, and the Yeti, "Aw, it's Bigfoot." Sunset Shimmer said, "You know him?" a girl asked, "Yeah, there are stories about him in the world I'm staying at, too, we call him Sasquatch most of the time, though." Sunset Shimmer said, "What's that other hairy one there?" Rarity asked, "That's the Hibagon, we don't see him often." Tom replied, "What about that white one there?" Pinkie Pie asked, "He has two names, most call him the Yeti, where I grew up, he's called the Abominable Snowman." another girl replied, "Abominable? He looks friendly to me." Rarity said, and they all join the party, Fluttershy flew to them and they were friendly with her, Silverstream also flew to them, excited to meet new creatures. Hours pass and the party was about over, a family ran to them, "Guys." the woman said, the humans look at her, "The last monster here is the Jersey Devil." the woman said, "Where is it?" Tom asked, "Uh? Oh, there it is." the boy replied, and they all see it flying in the air. The Jersey Devil lands on a roof and walks on it, it goes onto the ground, "Oh my, I've never seen a creature like this one before." Fluttershy said, "It's one of a kind." a man replied, "Can I study it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Sorry, but Volvox needs them back." Tom replied, Twilight Sparkle looked down, and the five monsters return to the underworld, the party shortly ended afterwards. Two days pass and the alchemist has still not returned, Tom was wondering where he has went, he hears walking and sees a man coming, he was black, had a round face shape, very short black hair, and black eyes, he was wearing a green robe, "Halt!" the man said, "Who are you?" Tom asked, "I am Ezekiel, son of Jesus." the man replied, Tom and the other humans glared at him, knowing it was not true, "What are you doing here?" Tom asked, "I am your savior, here to take down every last demon and free you all." Ezekiel replied, the humans were not happy with him, "How many demons do you think there are?" a boy asked, "Think? I know exactly how many demons there are." Ezekiel replied, "How many are there, then?" Tom asked, "Seven million four hundred five thousand nine hundred twenty six." Ezekiel replied, the humans glare at even more, "What?" Ezekiel asked, "That is completely, utterly, wrong." a boy replied, "Well, it doesn't matter, I'm here to face the emperor's entire military, and since I am wearing green for good luck, I know I will come out victorious." Ezekiel said, the ground then bursts open and Volvox came out, he was very far, "Well then, since you wish to face my entire military, I'll let you see what you're up against."

Volvox said, and he appears to Volvox's right, "And thirteen million seven hundred thousand demons." Volvox said, and they appear on the ground, in the water, and in the sky, scaring Ezekiel and the world's natives, "Thirteen million seven hundred thousand?!" Rarity asked with shock. Ezekiel stood scared as he looked at Volvox's massive military, "Well? Still feel like being a one person army?" Volvox asked while smiling, Ezekiel was very scared, "I... I'm... wearing green... for good luck." Ezekiel said, "Good luck? It looks like green with jealousy to me." Volvox said, the humans and monsters laugh, Ezekiel stood scared and fell to his knees while whimpering, "I... I yield." Ezekiel said, "Good, kill him." Volvox said, "NO!!" the other countries yelled, they go to them and take Ezekiel away, Princess Celestia flew to Volvox, "Come meet with us at once, Volvox, we need to talk." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away, Volvox shrunk himself down to the size of a human and teleported to where the rulers meet up. Volvox meets up with the other rulers and the Mane Six, "Volvox, we're going to get straight to the point, we'd like for you to reduce your military." Princess Celestia said, "Reduce?" Volvox asked, "Yes, your military is too big." Princess Celestia replied, "You make it sound like a bad thing." Volvox said, "It is, your military is bigger than all of this world's militaries combined!" Rainbow Dash said, "It makes the natives feel safe." Volvox said, "Ah don't feel safe by 'em, Ah don't wanna go to some country and see some fourteen million somethin' soldiers waitin' for me." Applejack replied, "We're going to ask you kindly to reduce the size of your military, Volvox, to at least the size of the militaries of other countries." Princess Cadence said, "Really? If I go back home with a smaller military, those humans will be vulnerable." Volvox replied, "But you have all of those demons and monsters on your side." Twilight Sparkle said, "Trust me, back in our world, my enemies can kill every single one of them with just one attack." Volvox replied, shocking everybody, "For real?!" Rainbow Dash asked, Volvox nodded, "Well, they're not here, and we want you to reduce it, going to war against you will also be very unfair." Princess Luna said, "You sound jealous." Volvox replied, "I'm not." Princess Luna said in an annoyed tone, "We want you to make your military smaller, we understand the need for country defense, but the size of yours makes us feel like you're going to invade us." Twilight Sparkle said, "I'll see what I can do." Volvox replied, the other rulers smiled, "Thank you, Volvox, we'll be looking forward to your progress." Princess Celestia said, and he left. Volvox and Tom try limiting the military, but Volvox could not bring himself to reduce his military, so he had most of them go back into the underworld. If anything, Volvox wanted his military to be bigger, he was also disappointed that the deities in his home world made him sign a pact that does not allow him to have any soldiers or weapons from the Civil War to today, because he wanted to have all of the weapons and heavy artillery from World War I and World War II in his military, he also wanted hydrogen bombs, but the other deities refused because they feared it would make him too powerful. Volvox sent his military back to the underworld under the guise of making it smaller, the other countries go to see and were happy with it, oblivious that Volvox tricked them, their relations improve and everything was normal again. A few days pass and the alchemist still has not returned, Tom was starting to wonder about him. The humans and monsters lived together for now, but Volvox and the demons returned to the underworld. The humans begin calling out to Volvox, "What's going on?" Volvox asked, "Today is April 7th." Dommiel replied, "Oh, right, how can I forget?" Volvox asked, and he uses his magic to make a crucified Jesus appear. The humans go to the crucified Jesus and pay their respects to him by getting on their knees' and bowing to him. Volvox had a lot of respect for Jesus, because he died and wore the sins of humanity on himself, and suffered so they would not. The other deities had no respect for Jesus, some called him a regular person or an idiot, others said his actions were meaningless just because he was a mortal, which angered Volvox and several other demons. When Jesus died, the other deities declared him wicked, but Volvox refused to take him, it was the one time in his fifteen billion year life that he refused to take someone as a slave, he demanded Jesus to go to the overworld, where he can spend his time in the afterlife in peace, the deities agreed, but in exchange, he had to take Judas Iscariot in, and have him serve as one of his commanders, which he was not happy about, but did it so Jesus can be at peace in the afterlife, he has kept a close eye on Judas ever since he took him in. The natives of the world go over to the country to see what they were doing, "What's going on?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Today's a holiday, Volvox calls it Jesus Day." a man replied, "Jesus Day? What's the idea of this holiday?" Applejack asked, "That crucified man up there is Jesus Christ, he was loved by all, and pure, on this day, he was crucified and killed, he wore the sins of our kind on himself, and suffered so we would not." Tom replied, surprising the others, "Twilight, and the rest of you, go pay your respects to him as well, he committed the ultimate act of friendship: sacrificing his own life for his friends, and choosing to suffer in their places, but Tom said he didn't do it for just his friends, he did it for everybody, he is what I call a true friend. Let's go now, he deserves our respect as well." Princess Celestia said, and the ponies pay their respects to Jesus, word of it got out and the dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs go to the country to pay their respects to Jesus for what he has done, Volvox was very happy to see that this world had a lot of respect for Jesus as well, he hoped Jesus was watching and smiling from above. Two days pass and the humans and monsters live together, the native creatures of the world were there as well, "So, how many of these creatures are from your world?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Every single one of them." Tom replied, "I have to admit, you guys have more monsters than we do." Starlight Glimmer said, "This isn't all of them." Tom replied, "What?! You all have even more?!" Rarity asked, "A lot more." Tom replied, "Some of these creatures are scaring me." Pinkie Pie said, "Really, Pinkie? They're not that scary." Maud Pie replied, they hear walking and see the Nuckelavee, Maud Pie screams in terror at seeing it, so did the others, most of the native creatures left the country, "Seriously! That thing is downright creepy!" Applejack said, "I know, right. Look, even Princess Celestia is scared of it." Rainbow Dash replied, they see Princess Celestia on the balcony of her castle, she was looking away, and had her head down with her front legs on the sides of her head, "Please, get that thing out of my sight." Princess Celestia said in pure terror, and the Nuckelavee walked away. Tom sees the Catoblepas coming over, Fluttershy goes over to pet it, "Be careful, Fluttershy, you'll turn into stone if you look into its eyes." Tom said, "Okay." Fluttershy replied, and she petted it, it was happy, it walked away. The others hear walking and a centaur goes to the ponies, "Well, you guys are new ones." the centaur said, "I'm surprised about you guys, you all are almost like a fusion that represent the relations our kinds have." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I noticed, but we've existed long before we got transferred here." the centaur said, "It's so cool, though, I can imagine a creature like you guys easily." Rainbow Dash replied, the centaur smiled, "I just wanted to say hi, I'll be going now." the centaur said, "Okay, have a good time." Fluttershy replied, and the centaur walked away. Apple Bloom ran to Applejack screaming, "What's wrong, sugar cube?" Applejack asked, the look and see the Chimera coming, "I wouldn't blame her, that's the Chimera, that thing is dangerous." Tom said, "Wait, did ya say a Chimera?" Apple Bloom asked, "Yeah, it's a dangerous animal." Tom replied, "Well, that's different." Twilight Sparkle said, "What?" Tom asked, "We have Chimeras, too, but they have the body of a tiger instead of a lion." Twilight Sparkle replied, Tom was curious, he hears more walking and sees the Minotaur, Tom petted him, "Who was this again?" Maud Pie asked, "The Minotaur." Tom replied, "Oh, so this is the Minotaur, we have them, too, but they're not like this." Rainbow Dash said, a bunch of tentacles come out of the water and the humans and monsters move out of the way to dodge them. Volvox comes out of the underworld to see what was going on, they see the creature emerge, it was a huge squid, shocking the humans, "Is that monster from your world, too?" Applejack asked, "Yeah, that's the Kraken." Tom replied, Volvox uses a spell to put it to sleep, he then turned to the humans, "Be on your guards, if the Kraken is here, then it's possible that either Moby Dick or Cthulhu is here as well." Volvox said, shocking the humans, Volvox then went back to the underworld. A few hours pass and the natives of the world view the Burj Khalifa and the monsters from the human world, "Excuse me." Princess Cadence said as she trotted to Tom, "Can you put that Nuckelavee elsewhere? It's scaring my baby." Princess Cadence said, Tom says Flurry Heart in Princess Cadence's front left hoof, cowering in fear at seeing it. Tom was about to tell it, but the Nuckelavee already left, "It's gone." Tom said, "Thank you." Princess Cadence replied, and she flew back to the Crystal Empire. The day goes on and nothing interesting happens, the natives of the world went home for the day. Several days pass and a portal opens, the alchemist comes out, the humans look at him, he stood up, "Sorry I'm late." the alchemist said, "Where were you?" a boy asked, "Trying to find a way to make the potion to take us home, I think I got it." the alchemist replied, "Well, hurry up and use it." a man said, and the alchemist gets ready to use it, he uses the technological device to open a portal, he throws the new potion in it. The country shifts and the underworld comes up, they see a meeting being held by Volvox, Dommiel, Judas, Azrael, Abaddon, Lucifer, Bael, Paimon, Beleth, Purson, Asmoday, Vine, Balam, Zagan, Belial, Haurus, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Giovi, and Tom. The natives of the world watch from their countries, "What do you expect me to do if Cthulhu is here?" Tom asked, "We expect you to evacuate the mortals away from this area." Lucifer replied, "I told you, we can hold our own, we might be able to beat him." Tom said, "And then what? Do a funeral for every human who has died against him?" Paimon asked, "What about you guys? What if the other Lovecraftian gods are here watching us?! What if Nyarlathotep is up there, in the stars?!" Tom asked angrily, the demons were caught by this, they look at the sky, the natives of the world were surprised as well, "I doubt it, last time we checked, he was at war with Typhon." Beleth replied, "Okay, so he isn't here, what about Abhoth?" Tom asked, Dommiel senses the country with his magic, "It's not here, either." Dommiel replied, "Okay, what about a Shoggoth?" Tom asked, Bael senses the area, "Wait, there's one nearby." Bael said, and Volvox uses his telekinesis, he takes it out of the ground, the natives of the world scream in terror at seeing it, some of the natives go to it, "What is that?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "A Shoggoth, unlike other creatures, they're only found in certain parts of our world, that thing is found everywhere, it's under the ground." Tom replied, "Good thing we found this." Vine said, "Yeah, just imagine if it attacked the surface world." Zagan replied, "Wait, give it to me, I want to study it." Twilight Sparkle said, "That reminds me, how's your studies on the Flatwoods Monster?" Lucifer asked, "I didn't find much, but he's still frozen." Twilight Sparkle replied, Volvox uses his magic to freeze the Shoggoth, he gives it to her, Twilight Sparkle grunts and struggles to move it to her castle for study, but she manages and was about to do her research. The alchemist tries another potion, he throws it into the portal, but it causes a rift in the sky, the humans see a hippogriff fly out, "What the?" a man asked, "A hippogriff." another man replied, Silverstream squeed with joy and had her hands on her cheeks, she smiled at seeing it, "That's your world's hippogriff?!" Silverstream asked, "Yes, it is." Tom replied, "Wow!" Silverstream said excitedly, "Wait, hold on, before you get all excited, do you know how hippogriffs are created?" Dommiel asked, Silverstream stopped smiling, "No, how?" Silverstream asked, "Hippogriffs are created when a male griffon mates with a female horse." Volvox replied, Silverstream was speechless, but when she processed the information, she screamed out of shock extremely loudly, she stood there with her left hand over her mouth, which was wide open. Her friends and the Mane Six run to her, "It's okay, Silverstream, you're still our friend." Gallus said, "But... are people of my kind created that way, too?" Silverstream asked, "No, of course not, you all are a separate species from the griffons." Twilight Sparkle replied, Silverstream calmed down and smiled, another portal opens and a griffon from the human world appears, "Hey, it looks like us." Gilda said, "Yeah, it actually does." Gallus replied, "Wait, potions that open rifts? Just who are you?" a boy asked, the alchemist was nervous, "You guys never noticed? That's the Count of Saint Germain." Haurus replied, surprising the humans, "You mean... as in... the five hundred year old time traveler?" a boy asked, "Yes, the one and only." Volvox replied, "I didn't think you guys would recognize me." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Hold on a minute, did ya say he's five hundred years old?" Applejack asked, "It's true, but we don't know how he achieved it." a man replied, "Well, Count of Saint Germain, how did you achieve it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I actually forgot." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "What about time traveling, how do you do that?" Princess Luna asked, "Something I learned a long time ago, I learned it by accident from an alchemy experiment gone wrong." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "If you don't mind, Count, can you try again with the potion to send us home?" Purson asked, "Of course, back to work." the Count of Saint Germain replied, and he works on creating a new potion. Another portal opens and several things fall out, they were big. The objects land on the ground, and to the surprise of everyone, they were the pyramids of Giza from Egypt, "No way, another piece of architecture from our world." a man said, "Another one?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yeah, the Pyramids of Giza." Tom replied, "Ooh, I wanna meet Giza." Pinkie Pie said, "Giza's a place, not a person." Tom replied, the humans bow at it, "Why are they bowing for?" Rarity asked, "Unlike the other building, which was built with machinery, the pyramids were built by our own hands." Tom replied, the Mane Six were surprised and go to the pyramids to see how big they are, "Wow, all of this was built without technology? I can't imagine how many years this must have took to build." Twilight Sparkle said, "Can we explore it?" Silverstream asked, "No, it's too tight." Tom replied, "How tight?" Gallus asked, "If you get stuck, you can't get out." Tom replied, shocking the natives of the world, "Well, let's see how tight it really is." King Thorax said, and he enters, Volvox uses his magic to make a screen appear so they can watch him. Thorax explores the biggest pyramid and sees there was a lot of space right now, he flew up to go into some of the passages, but it got tighter and tighter, the natives of the world gasped at how tight it really got, Thorax had to shapeshift near the end several times since the spaces were too small for his regular size. Thorax comes out while panting and the screen disappears, "It's really tight." Thorax said, "Okay, sorry, class, but it looks like we can't do a field trip to explore them." Twilight Sparkle said, the Young Six groan in disappointment, Volvox was not happy that they wanted to explore everything the humans had, "Still, I can't imagine it for you guys, since you all can't fly or breathe underwater, getting through must be hard." Rainbow Dash said, "It's hard for everybody." Tom replied, Daring Do was looking at the pyramids, she wanted to try to go through them on her own. The day passes and the creatures went back to their native countries, a big rift appears in the sky of the humans' country, the blue electricity catches everybody's attention and they all look, Volvox watched carefully, "We finally found you, Volvox." a deep male voice said, Volvox's attention was caught, it was Nyarlathotep, "Get back, it's the Outer Gods." Volvox said, the humans scream in terror and run away. The electricity disappears and everybody sees the creatures, they see Azathoth, Cxaxukluh, Daoloth, Ghroth, Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, Tulzscha, Yibb-Tstll, and Yog-Sothoth. The natives of the world scream in horror at their appearances, the humans look away, "Everybody, don't look at that clutter of objects, his name is Daoloth, you'll go mad if you see him." Tom said, he sees the natives were unaffected by it, much to Tom's surprise, "What do you guys want?" Volvox asked, "We're here to bring you back to your world." Yibb-Tstll replied, the demons and other monsters glared at them, "We know you guys, you all want something else." Lucifer said, "You all catch on quickly, we wished to be worshiped like before." Nyarlathotep replied, "No." the humans replied, "Then no portal back home." Cxaxukluh said, "What makes you think you all can just come and take over the planet?" Volvox asked, "We're the gods of the universe." Yog-Sothoth replied, "You're still extraterrestrials, plus, I'm older than you guys, they worship me for a reason." Volvox said, "You're an emperor, we're gods." Shub-Niggurath replied, the native creatures were horrified at what the humans' gods looked like, "Besides, I thought you all were at war with Typhon." Belial said, "Uh? Well... we... kind of had to retreat." Tulzscha replied, "So you all admit you lost." Volvox said, Ghroth opened its eye, causing the natives of the world to gasp, "You mortals have a choice, worship us again, and we send you all back home, or refuse to worship us, and be destroyed." Nyarlathotep said, the native creatures go to them, "No." Princess Celestia said as she walked to them, "They choose who to worship, you cannot force such a thing onto the people." Princess Celestia said, "You dare question us?" Cxaxukluh asked, "Yes, gods are supposed to be pretty!" Pinkie Pie replied, "Not all gods, Pinkie Pie." Tom said, "Hmm, it seems the Great Old Ones aren't here." Ghroth said, "Well, keep trying." Daoloth replied, "I'm not getting anything." Ghroth said, "That's enough, Ghroth, it's only us who are here." Azathoth replied, "Who is the leader?" Princess Luna asked, "I am." Azathoth replied, "How can you be so cruel to these people?" Queen Novo asked, "They're mortals, we're gods, we are superior." Azathoth replied, a yellow beam and a blue beam were shot at them, they got hit and were harmed, "What the?" Nyarlathotep asked, "We're gods, too." Princess Celestia said, "Are you humans going to worship us?" Azathoth asked, "No." the humans replied, "Then war, it is." Azathoth said, and they get ready to attack, but the other countries and Volvox's entire military come to their defenses, the Outer Gods were shocked, "We're their friends, that means going to war against us as well." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us." Applejack said, "You think you can best a god?" Daoloth asked, "We've fought gods before." a man replied, the Outer Gods realize they were greatly outnumbered, and none of their creatures were present, "On second thought, let's go back, we'll attack the humans back there." Azathoth said, and the Outer Gods disappeared. The humans thanked them and their days continued. Four days pass and the Cerberus from the human world and the Cerberus from the native's world fought one another in the human's country, Orthrus also fought to protect his brother, the Cerberus from the human world had snakes on his neck, they were poisonous, the humans and Fluttershy had to calm them down, it took a long time, but they managed to stop the fight. Another monster is heard walking around, Volvox uses telekinesis to take it out, everybody see it was Frankenstein's monster, people called him Frankenstein, "This way, Frankenstein." Tom said after Volvox put him down. Frankenstein grunted and did not speak, he acted like a child and did not understand things. Twilight Sparkle flew over with her books to help teach him, Princess Celestia taught him as well, "Now, now, Frankenstein, watch carefully, and learn." Princess Celestia said, her voice soothed him, Frankenstein learned a lot, the world's natives loved his childlike personality, Pinkie Pie and Derpy spent time to play with him. The Count of Saint Germain continues working and sees something, he screamed in terror at it, the humans run over and see the creature, to their surprises, it was a Tsuchinoko, "Hey, Volvox, there's a Tsuchinoko here." a boy said, Volvox uses telekinesis to hold it up, he sees the small brown creature, "Be careful around it, it has fangs and venom similar to that of a viper." Volvox said, and he puts it down. The Mane Six, Young Six, and Frankenstein go to it while the Cutie Mark Crusaders walk with him, "Ooh, I wanna see." Pinkie Pie said, and the natives see it, Fluttershy flew down to look at it, "Aw, it's so cute, this is the smallest snake I've ever seen." Fluttershy said, the humans see Twilight Sparkle was very scared by it, the Tsuchinoko tries to bite her, but Fluttershy says a few things and rubs it, it calms down and obeys her, Frankenstein tries to touch it and the Tsuchinoko was friendly enough to let him touch it, "What a nice little creature." Fluttershy said, and she took it with her to keep as a pet, the days went on normally afterwards. A week passes and the Count of Saint Germain creates another potion. The humans were playing a game, they were trying to get through the strait that had Scylla and Charybdis in it, without getting their ship damaged, or losing anyone on the ship. Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia were trying to come up with a plan since if they go out of range of one creature, they will be in range of the other one, the two did admit it was hard. Twilight Sparkle asked a human boy for his toy boat, and he gave it to her, she set it in the strait, and Charybdis spins around and gets the boat, while Scylla did not see it, "Hmm, it got through one, but the other one saw it." Princess Celestia said, "Oh, this is hard, how are we supposed to win this?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I know how, like this." Rainbow Dash replied, and she flew into the strait, Scylla tried to grab her but was too slow, "See, I win." Rainbow Dash said, "No, you can't do that, that's cheating." Tom replied, "Oh." Rainbow Dash said, "Let's try something, Twilight, I have an idea." Princess Celestia said, and she flew down, she used a small boat, she gets through with ease, Charybdis begins spinning around to suck her in, but the small boat made it just out of range, and Scylla could not stretch her six heads out far enough to reach her. The native creatures cheer as Princess Celestia makes it to the end, but Volvox walked over and stood at the end, scaring the natives, but he grabs the boat after she passes, "Not bad, most people lose at this game." Volvox said, "It was tough, but it was fun." Princess Celestia replied, "I didn't think she'd actually win." Sunburst said, "Me neither." Twilight Sparkle replied, the Count of Saint Germain ran to them, "Everybody, I got the potion, we can go home." the Count of Saint Germain said, the humans were happy, but they hear Queen Chrysalis laughing, they see her with the potion, "Now, with this potion, I can enter their world, feed off of all of their love, and conquer the human world." Queen Chrysalis said, "Catoblepas." Volvox said, it walks to Queen Chrysalis, she looks at it with disgust, "What is this disgusting little..." Queen Chrysalis asked as she lifted it up with her telekinesis, she looks at it in the eyes and turns into stone. The Count of Saint Germain takes the potion and opens the portal, he throws it in, the portal changes and the humans see their home, they cheer, "We can go home at last." Tom said, they all hug the natives, "It was a pleasure to meet you all, we're going to miss you." Princess Celestia said, "We'll miss you guys, too." Tom replied, and the humans and monsters leave while the natives of the land say their goodbyes, the architecture from their world went in as well. Twilight Sparkle goes back to her castle and sees the Flatwoods Monster was gone, Fluttershy also sees the Dover Demon was gone as well, so was Mothman and Owlman, and the Tsuchinoko. Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia had a picture of Jesus in their quarters', they respected him for what he did, and hopes what happened to him does not happen in their world, the world's natives remember the humans and their monsters and hold onto their memories of them dearly for years to come. MedievalVolvox was living during the Middle Ages and had humans, demons, and some monsters living together, the humans have begun to work in sorcery and magic, but it was not as powerful as the other creatures. Volvox lived with the humans, and their king was Tom, even though Tom was king, he was a figurehead, Volvox was the true ruler because he was the head of the church, he had many demons under his command. Volvox's second-in-command and personal bodyguard was Dommiel, he collected taxes from the humans, he had seventy nine demons under his control, the ones who attended the church with him were Lucifer, Leviathan, Satan, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Mammon, and Belphegor, while the other seventy two were in the underworld, their names were Bael, Agares, Vassago, Samigina, Marbas, Valefor, Amon, Barbatos, Paimon, Buer, Gusion, Sitri, Beleth, Leraje, Eligos, Zepar, Botis, Bathin, Sallos, Purson, Morax, Ipos, Aim, Naberius, Glasya-Labolas, Buné, Ronove, Berith, Astaroth, Forneus, Foras, Asmoday, Gaap, Furfur, Marchosias, Stolas, Phenex, Halphas, Malphas, Raum, Focalor, Vepar, Sabnock, Shax, Vine, Bifrons, Vual, Haagenti, Crocell, Furcas, Balam, Alloces, Caim, Murmur, Orobas, Gremory, Ose, Amy, Orias, Vapula, Zagan, Valac, Andras, Flauros, Andrealphus, Kimaris, Amdusias, Belial, Decarabia, Seere, Dantalion, and Andromalius, each one commanded several legions of demons. Volvox had a ghoul named Giovi with him as well, he chose not to speak, and lost his claws on his hands many years ago, he replaced them with knife blades, he was a master of telekinesis and pyrokinesis, he was also a bodyguard to Volvox. While Tom was only a figurehead, he still had command over human forces, he was allies with the Knights of the Round Table, which had fourteen members, they were King Arthur, Sir Lancelot, Sir Gawain, Prince Geraint, Sir Percival, Sir Bors the Younger, Sir Lamorak, Sir Kay, Sir Gareth, Sir Bedivere, Sir Gaheris, Sir Galahad, Sir Tristan, and Sir Palamedes, he also had command over the Knights Templar, humans who served under Volvox, they were the first line of defense for his church. Volvox's kingdom had a trading relationship with another continent, while the continent he was on was called Medieval, the other continent was called Feudal, they were very different from one another, they traded in weapons, a male merchant went to go see Volvox, "Emperor Volvox, Feudal just demanded more weapons from us." the merchant said, "Who's the one demanding it?" Volvox asked, "Some guy named Genma Himuro." the merchant replied, "Oh, him again, watch out for him, he looks suspicious." Volvox said, the merchant nodded and he left to go deliver firearms to Genma through ship. Volvox was using a portal to speak with an old friend of his, Dragon Lord Torch, who used to serve under him as a military general many years ago, "Is it you, Volvox?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "Yes, Torch, I'm here." Volvox replied, "Good to speak to you again, the dragons under my command here have been well." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Yes, that's great to hear, I do miss having you guys serving under me sometimes." Volvox replied, "You're not the only one, a lot of the dragons here miss you, too." Dragon Lord Torch said, Volvox chuckled, "How have the griffons, yaks, and changelings been?" Volvox asked, "I haven't checked, but I remember them serving under you, I think they might miss you from time to time as well." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Well, it's nice to know they still care, I was thinking about trying to bring my land into your world so we can all meet again, just like old times, the deadites are rising again, and I need help." Volvox said, "Yes, of course, I'd like to meet you and the other dragons again." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Alright, the demons here will give it a try, talk to you later, Torch." Volvox said, "Alright, bye." Dragon Lord Torch replied, and the portal closes. Volvox walks outside of the church and looks around, he sees all of the other areas of the continent, Volvox's kingdom was one area of the continent, it was called Shadowstorm, other areas were Windhelm, Boletaria, Camelot, Blackadder's kingdom, the fairy kingdom, the elf village, the underground city of dwarfs, the tribe of orcs, the vampire kingdom, the tribe of werewolves, the tribe of trolls, and the tribe of ghouls, Volvox's kingdom had the most power out of any area on the continent. A portal opens in an area of the continent, a man and a yellow car fell down, he had pale skin, short black hair, an oblong face shape, and brown eyes, he wore a dark blue long-sleeve shirt with most of the left half torn off, his pants were brown, and he wore black shoes, he had a holster on his back that held a sawed off double barreled shotgun, and a red chainsaw in place of his right hand. The man stands up while everyone looks at him, King Arthur ordered his knights to surround him with spears, while his other knights aimed crossbows at him, "Wait!" a male elf said, the others look at him, "I recognize him, he's the Hero from the Sky, sent here from the future to save us." a male elf said, the man stands up, "Now, you hold on a minute there, my name's Ash, I ain't no hero." the man said, "Really? You're right here, in the Book of the Dead." the elf replied, and he showed him the page, Ash recognized it, "Well, that ain't me." Ash said, "Who is it, then?" the elf asked, "I dunno, maybe my twin brother." Ash said, "Twin brother? This man is a fake, seize him!" Blackadder said, "Wait, stand down." Tom replied, and they do, Tom walks to him, "We need your help, Ash, monsters have been attacking us, and please disregard him, he's an idiot." Tom said, "I know who he is, I've seen Blackadder." Ash replied, surprising everyone, "Well, moving on, my name is Tom, I am the king of Shadowstorm, that there is King Arthur, king of Camelot, that's King Allant, king of Boletaria, and that there is Edmund Blackadder, Prince of England." Tom said, "Hold on a minute, you kings are just figureheads, the one in charge is the church." Ash replied, everyone was surprised that he knew, "My kingdom isn't controlled by the church." a man said, "And you are?" Ash asked, "I am Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak of Windhelm." the man replied, "Oh, well, who's the pope?" Ash asked, "That would be me." Volvox replied as he walked forward, Ash becomes shocked when he sees Volvox, he takes his shotgun out and aims it at Volvox, "Wait, Ash, I'm not the bad guy, I just run the continent." Volvox said, "Someone tell me why this big Cerberus is in charge." Ash said, "Because he has been watching us evolve since the beginning of Earth's existence, he makes sure every species on Earth does not go extinct." Tom replied, "Well, he did a horrible job, a lot of animals are extinct in my time." Ash said, "That wasn't my doing, Ash." Volvox replied, "Really? So they didn't go extinct because of you?" Ash asked, "Nope, the higher ups did it, the gods decide when it's time to restart." Volvox replied, "Well, I guess you're already gone six hundred years later then." Ash said, "I'm still alive in your time, Ash." Volvox replied, "Then why don't I see you anywhere?" Ash asked, "Because I am busy making sure everything runs smoothly in the underworld." Volvox replied, "Oh." Ash said, "Come, Ash, we need your help, and try not to step on anything on the ground." Volvox replied, and they walk together while everyone watches them. Volvox and Ash walk around and Ash sees rats and pigs roaming the streets, dead animals and feces were in the roads, and he smelled rotting meat in the air, it stank, but he remembered learning it in school, he also saw cockroaches in the bread, "Say, do you guys bathe twice a year?" Ash asked, "Yup, this is only my kingdom, the other areas are different." Volvox replied, "I wouldn't bet on that." Ash said as he saw human feces floating away in the water, Volvox takes him to the church, Ash saw Lucifer, Satan, Asmodeus, Mammon, Belphegor, Leviathan, and Beelzebub looking at him, Ash ignored them and entered the church. Volvox walks up the stairs and saw Dommiel and Giovi, "This is Dommiel, my second-in-command and personal bodyguard, and this is Giovi, my other bodyguard, he chooses not to speak, he lets his actions do the talking, we are going to try to reach old allies of mine to regain their help with the monsters attacking us, they are in another world, they are the dragons, griffons, yaks, and changelings." Volvox said, "Wait, did you say a dragon?" Ash asked, "Yeah, several, in fact." Volvox replied, "Can I ride one?" Ash asked, "Uh, why?" Volvox asked, "Just imagine how that would sound, a man wielding a double barreled shotgun with a chainsaw hand riding a dragon into battle, don't you think that would sound cool for the history books?" Ash asked, "Eh, I guess." Volvox replied, Ash smiled, "Volvox, the portal's ready." Dommiel said, "Alright, let's see if we can enter their world to get help against the deadites." Volvox replied, and he uses his own magic to control the portal, and the entire continent and the Feudal continent get sucked in. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs get on with their days, a magical surge appears to the very east of the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone, the dragons and griffons look, the continents Medieval and Feudal appear. The dragons and griffons become shocked at what they saw, "Is it?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, they all saw Ash walk out of the church, he looks at the dragons and griffons, "Hey, Volvox, you might wanna see this." Ash said, and Volvox walked out of the church, he uses his magic to change back to his normal size, "It is!" Grampa Gruff said happily, the dragons and griffons cheer at seeing Volvox. Volvox walks to the Dragon Lands and he and Dragon Lord Torch go to one another, Volvox slaps his right front foot with Dragon Lord Torch's right hand, they then hold one another at their claws, "How have you been, Torch?" Volvox asked, "Great, the dragons are happy to have you back." Dragon Lord Torch replied, Volvox chuckles, "We're here, too, Volvox." Grampa Gruff said as he and other griffons flew to him, "Ah, yes, Gruff, you were my one of my advisers." Volvox said, happy to see them again. A train arrives in Griffonstone, it opens and Prince Rutherford and several yaks get off, they go to Griffonstone, "Volvox, yaks here, too!" Prince Rutherford said, "Yes, it's good to see you again, Rutherford, I remember when you were a kid, boy, you have grown." Volvox replied, "Yak know Volvox?" a male yak asked, "Prince Rutherford's father, King Bison, used serve Volvox." Prince Rutherford replied, the yaks smiled. Volvox, the dragons, griffons, and yaks hear flying, they see the changelings coming, they saw Pharynx leading them, King Thorax was behind him, "Hello, Volvox, it's nice to see you again." Pharynx said, "You are?" Volvox asked, "It's us, Volvox, the changelings." King Thorax replied, Volvox's memory comes back, "Wait, Pharynx, Thorax, is that you?" Volvox asked, the two nod, "I remember you two now, you two were some of my best soldiers, you guys look really different from before." Volvox said, "Yeah, we went through metamorphosis by sharing love rather than feeding off from someone." King Thorax replied, "Oh, I see. So, I remember Torch here, but where's Grover, Bison, and Metamorphosis?" Volvox asked, the griffons, yaks, and changelings look down, "King Grover passed away many years ago." Grampa Gruff said, "King Bison lost life in avalanche." Prince Rutherford said, "King Metamorphosis is... no longer with us." King Thorax said, "Wait, he wasn't killed by Chrysalis, was he?" Volvox asked, "No, passed away from illness." King Thorax replied, "And Grover?" Volvox asked, "Old age." Grampa Gruff replied, "Oh, I see." Volvox said, "One more thing, Volvox, I am no longer Dragon Lord, my daughter is the ruler now." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Really?" Volvox asked, Princess Ember flew to them, "Father, who is this?" Princess Ember asked, "This is Emperor Volvox, Ember, when I was young, I served under him as a military general." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Wow, I hope you're not here to take over." Princess Ember said, "No, I'm actually here to meet old allies." Volvox replied, "Old allies?" Princess Ember asked, "That's right, I served as a military and diplomat adviser to Emperor Volvox in my younger days." Grampa Gruff replied, the younger griffons were surprised, "King Bison and yaks were diplomats for Emperor Volvox, Prince Rutherford served as one as well when Rutherford became teenager." Prince Rutherford said, "Me, Pharynx here, and several of the changelings here served as foot soldiers in his army back then." King Thorax said, "Oh, so we all have a history with you." Princess Ember said, "Exactly, I was thinking about doing some kind of game to celebrate our reunion." Volvox replied, the dragons, griffons, yaks, and changelings agreed, "When is a good time?" Volvox asked, "Well, Hearth's Warming is near, so maybe during that time, and Volvox, one more thing, you're not as powerful as before in this world, the kingdom of the ponies in front of you there, they're the most powerful kingdom in this world, and to the south is the hippogriff kingdom, they're rising in power, too." King Thorax replied, "Alright, it's settled then, we'll get things ready for the games, I'll be going back now." Volvox said, and he goes back to his kingdom, so did the yaks and changelings, the ponies and hippogriffs did not pay attention, everycreature just went on with their days. Four days pass with no events and Hearth's Warming comes, the games were ready, the dragons, griffons, yaks, and changelings went to the Medieval continent, they saw the Feudal continent was there as well, the yaks were carried by the dragons and they flew into the kingdom, they saw the entire continent was going to be used for the games. Volvox sat in a throne that was at the top and in the center of a rectangular balcony, Dommiel sat to his right, while Giovi sat to his left, Dragon Lord Torch sat in a throne to Dommiel's right, while Prince Rutherford sat to his right, to Tom's left was Grampa Gruff, and to his left was King Thorax. From left to right in the next row was Belphegor, Mammon, Leviathan, Lucifer, Satan, Beelzebub, and Asmodeus. Tom and Ash were sitting in the next row, to Tom's right was Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak and King Arthur, and to Ash's left was King Allant and Blackadder. Under the row of King, Arthur, Ulfric, Tom, Ash, King Allant, and Blackadder were the rulers of the other regions, from left to right was Counselor Melvin, the ruler of the fairies, Count Dracula, the ruler of the vampires, Chief Jason, the ruler of the werewolves, Regent Urub, the ruler of the orcs, King Flamma, the ruler of the dwarfs, King Karstaag, the ruler of the trolls, Chief Isbar, the ruler of the ghouls, and Elder Lazlo, the ruler of the elves. The seventy two demons of Solomon sat to the sides of the balcony, on the left side were Bael, Vassago, Marbas, Amon, Paimon, Gusion, Beleth, Eligos, Botis, Sallos, Marax, Aim, Glasya-Labolas, Ronove, Astaroth, Foras, Gaap, Marchosias, Phenex, Malphas, Focalor, Sabnock, Vine, Vual, Crocell, Balam, Caim, Orobas, Ose, Orias, Zagan, Andras, Andrealphus, Amdusias, Decarabia, and Dantalion, and the ones on the right side were Agares, Samigina, Valefor, Barbatos, Buer, Sitri, Leraje, Zepar, Bathin, Purson, Ipos, Naberius, Buné, Berith, Forneus, Asmoday, Furfur, Stolas, Halphas, Raum, Vepar, Shax, Bifrons, Haagenti, Furcas, Alloces, Murmur, Gremory, Amy, Vapula, Valac, Flauros, Kimaris, Belial, Seere, and Andromalius. Everyone sat in a circle starting at the balcony going counterclockwise had the dragons, griffons, humans, trolls, vampires, orcs, elves, fairies, dwarfs, werewolves, ghouls, demons, yaks, and changelings, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, and Smolder were within the crowd, Spike did not attend because he was not informed. Everycreature did games by what creature they were, they had archery, racing, jousts, fighting, wrestling, hammer throwing, horseshoe throwing, shinty, football, and colf. The yaks did things differently due to them not being bipedal and unable to change like the changelings, they did the jousts with the lances in their mouths, same with colf, they did not participate in archery or hammer throwing, and they threw horseshoes with their mouths, they did everything else like the others. The changelings changed to humans to do several activities, but remained normal for most, everyone's favorite event was the fighting and wrestling, Princess Ember won the fighting competition, while the orcs won the wrestling, everyone had fun until it ended. Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, and Smolder walk back to Ponyville, "Wow, I'll admit, that was actually pretty fun." Ocellus said, "Yeah, I'm planning to try those out myself when I get older." Gallus replied, "Yona honored that kind served under Emperor Volvox." Yona said, "Me too, the dragons served him because he was a very powerful ruler, Dragon Lord Torch said he's a pretty cool guy." Smolder replied, the four keep walking but stop when they saw Sandbar and Silverstream in front of them, Sandbar had a pretty upset face while Silverstream was on the verge of tears, "How could you guys?" Silverstream asked, "How could we what?" Gallus asked, "How can you guys go on and have fun... without inviting us?" Silverstream asked, she began to cry, "Wait, wait, wait, wait, we can explain." Gallus said, "Seriously guys, not cool." Sandbar replied, "But you two must understand, we didn't intend to hurt your feelings, it has something to do with the history of our kinds." Ocellus said, "Yeah, and the rulers just called us, they didn't explain anything." Smolder said, "All of Yakyakistan participated, Yona's family went as well, so Yona had to participate." Yona said, "But still, you left us out." Sandbar replied, Silverstream continued to cry, "By the way, Headmare Twilight wants to see you four when we go back to school." Sandbar said, and he walked away while pulling Silverstream along, she was still very upset, the four looked down in regret. Ash walks around the kingdoms and looks around, every place was dirty, "Excuse me." a female said, Ash turns back and saw a fairy, "Do you happen to know where my husband is?" the fairy asked, "What's his name?" Ash asked, "Oberon." the fairy replied, "Wait a minute, are you Titania?" Ash asked, "Why, yes, I am." the fairy replied, "Why aren't you and Oberon in charge then?" Ash asked, "Well, we were the rulers of the fairies in the past, but we decided to step down and let Melvin do the ruling, Oberon and I were tired out from royal duties." Titania replied, "Well, no, I haven't seen your husband, but if he isn't around, then maybe you and I can spend some time together." Ash said, Titania chuckled, "Sorry, but I am taken, I don't know why he always leaves, but maybe he's like me, he interested in watching the romance between Romeo and Juliet." Titania replied, "Bleh." Ash said, "Well, can you help me find my husband?" Titania asked, "Sorry, lady, but I've got deadites to kill." Ash replied, "I understand, hope you do well." Titania said, and she flies away, Ash walks around and saw Ulfric was doing some kind of shout to push people away, Ash was caught by surprise to see it, he also sees King Allant had a strange black sword with him, he just keeps walking, "Enjoying your time here so far, Ash?" Tom asked, "No, it's been a bit boring to me so far." Ash replied, "Sorry about that, we are still busy recruiting old allies." Tom said, "Well, I hope it ends soon, this boredom is killing me." Ash replied, and he walks away while Tom watches him. Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, and Smolder were in Twilight Sparkle's office and they sat across from her, "I heard about what has happened, you four really hurt their feelings." Twilight Sparkle said, "But Headmare Twilight, it was to celebrate a part of our kinds' histories." Ocellus replied, "That doesn't matter, you guys left your friends out, all of you owe Sandbar and Silverstream an apology." Twilight Sparkle said, "We already apologized." Gallus replied, "Well, they're still not over it, make sure it's sincere this time, you four may leave." Twilight Sparkle said, and they do. The four walk together and saw Sandbar comforting a crying Silverstream, "Oh, it's you guys." Sandbar said, "Hey, look, we said we're sorry, we didn't mean to hurt your feelings." Gallus replied, "Yona apologize, too, Yona did not mean to hurt friends." Yona said, "Do I look like the type to hurt you guys in anyway?" Ocellus asked, Sandbar realized what they were saying, "Yeah, you're right, I forgive you guys, but my feelings are still hurt." Sandbar said, Silverstream still cried, the four stand behind her, "Are you still upset with us, Silverstream?" Smolder asked, "Hmm-mm." Silverstream replied while nodding, "We do apologize, Silverstream, if we'd known what was going on, we wouldn't have left you and Sandbar out." Smolder said, "But you guys did." Silverstream replied, "That was because our leaders called us out of the school, they didn't say what it was, they said it was for a special surprise." Gallus said, "Really?" Silverstream asked, "Yes, and we're sorry we left you and Sandbar out." Ocellus replied, Silverstream looked back, the four smiled, she smiled and the six of them hugged one another. A male dragon flies to the School of Friendship, he went to go see Twilight Sparkle, "Dragon Lord Torch needs Smolder to come back, Spike needs to come as well, the Dragon Lands are changing their government." the dragon said, "Okay, I'll go get him. Spike." Twilight Sparkle said, Spike went to go see her, "Come with me, Spike, Dragon Lord Torch wants to see you and Smolder." the dragon said, "Really? I'm ready to go." Spike replied, and they left, they got Smolder and they flew to the Dragon Lands. The Wonderbolts were flying in the air and practicing, Spitfire stopped when she smelled a faint but distinct odor in the air, "Hey, you guys smell something?" Spitfire asked, the other Pegasi smell the stench as well, "Yeah, I smell it." Rainbow Dash said, "Me too." Soarin replied, "What is that smell?" Vapor Trail asked, "Who knows, but let's ignore it for now." Sky Stinger said, and they continue flying, they did not know that the smell was coming from the continent Volvox ruled, they were smelling the stench of dead animals, feces, and rotting meat. Spike and Smolder arrive in the Dragon Lands with the dragon, they all saw Dragon Lord Torch standing, "Dragons! I am here to introduce you all to your previous ruler, when he was ruler, I served under him as a military general, I know dragons usually don't do friends, but this is a special occasion, please welcome, Emperor Volvox!" Dragon Lord Torch said, Dragon Lord Torch stood by and Volvox walked over to Dragon Lord Torch's left, the elder dragons cheered while the other dragons were very shocked by how big he was, Dragon Lord Torch smiled as he stood to Volvox's right, "To those of you who don't know me, I am Emperor Volvox, many years ago, you dragons served in my military, you all were my best soldiers, and then after sometime, you all had enough and needed a break, and came to this world, but now that I am your ruler once again, I ask for your aid, these monsters known as deadites have been plaguing my land, I need you all to help me fight back these monsters." Volvox said, the elder dragons cheered, they all breathed fire, "Wait, hold on." Volvox said, and they stop, "You all only breathe fire?" Volvox asked, the younger dragons nod, "Is that the only shout you guys know?" Volvox asked, confusing the dragons, "Shout?" Princess Ember asked as the other dragons murmured, "Yes, us dragons have this ability called a Thu'um, our fire breath is only one, it is called shouting, certain words and phrases a dragon says can empower them." Dragon Lord Torch said, surprising every dragon, "Serve me, and learn how to use the Thu'um." Volvox said, the dragons cheered, "Hey! Wait just a minute!" Princess Ember said, she flew up to Volvox's center head, "I'm the Dragon Lord, Volvox, what makes you think you can just come here and usurp my position?" Princess Ember asked, "Ember, relax, Volvox isn't here to usurp your position, he's here to get old friends to help him with a problem." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "See, there you have it, plus, I have my land to rule, it'll be like I'm not here." Volvox said, "Still." Princess Ember replied, "Don't worry, Ember, you're still in charge, all Volvox is going to do is have us elders teach you the Thu'um, you're going to like it." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Can we see a demonstration?" Garble asked, the dragons agreed, "Very well, stand back, everydragon." Dragon Lord Torch said, they did, so did Volvox, Dragon Lord Torch warmed up his voice while the dragons watched with great anticipation, "Fus Ro Dah!" Dragon Lord Torch said, and a volcano in front of him broke from the ground and went into the air, the dragons look at Dragon Lord Torch with surprise, they cheered shortly afterwards, "Hold on, everydragon, here's the shout to the one you all use." Dragon Lord Torch said, and they watch him, "Yol Toor Shul!" Dragon Lord Torch said, and a giant breath of fire came out of his mouth, it was huge, the dragons cheered, they all pledged their allegiance to Volvox, "Now this might be fun to learn." Spike said, and the dragons were all taught the Thu'um. Spike returned to Ponyville later that day and decided to try the Thu'um while walking around town, "Fo Krah Diin!" Spike said, and he shot ice out instead of fire, surprising the ponies, he keeps walking and he sees an aggressive bear in front of him, it roared, "Spike, look out, Harry's been grumpy all morning." Fluttershy said as she flew to him, "Kaan Drem Ov!" Spike said, his Thu'um calmed Harry, surprising Fluttershy, Spike walked away while chuckling, "Wuld Nah Kest!" Spike said, and he dashed away really fast, it looked like he was teleporting, "Ha! Ha! This is fun!" Spike said, "Fus Ro Dah!" a male voice said, the force blasts Spike away, he screams while he goes through the air and he falls, he gets back up and saw Discord, "Discord?!" Spike asked with shock, "I can use the Thu'um, too." Discord replied, much to Spike's shock, "Spike." Twilight Sparkle said behind him, he turns around and saw her trotting to him, "There you are, I'm going to have to ask you to stop with the shouting, you're scaring everypony." Twilight Sparkle said, Spike looks around and saw everypony was scared, he did not respond and walked away. Princess Celestia flew down and landed to Twilight Sparkle's right, "Twilight, keep an eye on Spike, I didn't know a dragon had this much power." Princess Celestia said, "Me neither, I need to have the others keep an eye on Smolder so she doesn't destroy the school." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I don't know what's going on, but be very careful around them, Twilight." Princess Celestia said as she watched Spike with her. Volvox was trying to get the Medieval continent located elsewhere in the world since the yaks could not fly, and not reach it from where they were at, "Is here good?" Volvox asked, he was just to the east of the Dragon Lands, "No, the yaks can't reach from there at all." Princess Ember replied, the continent disappears and reappeared between the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone, "No, that's not good, either." Grampa Gruff said, "Try over there, just a little to the west." Dragon Lord Torch said, Prince Rutherford looked and saw it will be in the Celestial Sea, "This spot good, yaks can come by boat." Prince Rutherford said, "Yeah, this'll do, we can change into whales and carry them, too." King Thorax said, "Alright, guys, one more time, we know where to appear." Volvox replied, and the land disappears. The land appears to east of Baltimare and Equestria saw the continent, the ponies look on with shock while Pinkie Pie screamed with shock, they saw how dirty the land was, they also saw yellow-green stink lines coming out of the land. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna looked from the balcony and saw the land, they were very shocked by how dirty it was, they were speechless, so was Princess Cadence and Shining Armor. The Mane Six went to Shadowstorm through Twilight Sparkle's hot air balloon and got off, they coughed and gagged at the smell, "Pee-yew, this country is stinky." Pinkie Pie said, "No kiddin', it smells worse than a bag of rotten potatoes on a hot summer afternoon." Applejack replied, "Well, come on, we have to see what it's like here." Twilight Sparkle said, and they walk forward. The Mane Six walk and they see rats in the street, Rarity exclaimed with shock at seeing them, "Hey, relax, they look friendly." Fluttershy said, and she flew to them, the rats were about to touch Fluttershy, "Wait, Fluttershy, I don't think they're clean." Twilight Sparkle said, "Don't worry, Twilight, I have a very strong immune system." Fluttershy replied, and she plays with them, they went on afterwards, they soon saw pigs roaming in the streets, "P... Pigs?!" Rarity asked with horror, "Oh, you look friendly, too, you're a good pig, yes, you are." Fluttershy said, the pig was happy with her, the other pigs went to her, "Uh, Fluttershy, I think we should get moving." Rainbow Dash said, Fluttershy agreed and they walked forward with Fluttershy saying bye to them. The Mane Six keep walking but Rarity hears a splat when she steps on something with her front right hoof, she looks and saw something brown, the six look forward and saw feces in the road, Rarity screamed, "Ew! Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ewwwwwww." Rarity said as she desperately used her magic to get the feces off of her hoof, she hyperventilated as well, the six look forward with disgust, "There is no way Ah'm walkin' through that." Applejack said, "Me neither, that is way too gross to step hoof in." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Oh, my hoof, it's going to take me a lifetime to clean it." Rarity said, "Come on, guys, let's just fly over it." Rainbow Dash said, and she picked up Rarity and flew forward, Fluttershy picked up Pinkie Pie, and Twilight Sparkle picked up Applejack and they flew over the road covered in feces, holding their breaths. The Mane Six keep going and see more feces, they then see dead animals in the road as well, the six were very grossed out, they keep flying and land when they saw the people. The six walk around and see the humans were dirty, they had dirt and feces all over their clothing, their teeth were black and rotten, and the humans were dumping their chamber pots into the road, which had more feces, "Hey, look, there seems to be a merchant." Rainbow Dash said, "Hey, it is, it looks like he's sellin' food, Ah sure am hungry." Applejack replied, "Me too." Fluttershy said, "Well, let's take a short rest, then." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they go to him, "Hello, you six look new here." the man said, "We are." Fluttershy replied, "Well, you guys have any money?" the man asked, "Sorry, but no." Applejack replied, "Well, here, this bread is all I can give for free." the man said, "Why, thank you, darling, that was very generous of you." Rarity replied, and the six bite into their bread at once, Rarity gagged when she ate hers, she then spat hers out, she and the other five look into her bread and saw something brown in it, "What is this?!" Rarity asked, "Oh, sorry, it looks like the bread you got had a cockroach in it." the man replied, Rarity ran away while screaming, she laid down on the ground and began rubbing her tongue with her front hooves, she was hyperventilating in the process, her five friends went to her, "You alright, Rarity?" Applejack asked, "No! I am not alright, I just tasted a cockroach! My dignity as a lady has been lost!" Rarity said, she began to cry dramatically, "It's okay, Rarity, we're here to help you, so get back up, and let's get out of here together." Twilight Sparkle said, Rarity stopped crying and stood back up, the six stood together, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans look at her, "Who's in charge here?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I am." Tom said, he walked to them, "My name is Tom, I am the king of this area." Tom said, "I do not like this place!" Rarity said, "Is something wrong?" Tom asked, "This country is filthy!" Twilight Sparkle replied angrily, "Really? We're kind of clean compared to the other areas." Tom said, Rarity screamed with shock, the Mane Six smell him and the humans, they gag and cover their noses, "Ew, you guys are stinky." Pinkie Pie said, "How often do y'all bathe?" Applejack asked, "Twice a year." Tom replied, the Mane Six were horrified, "Twice a year?!" Rarity asked, "Yeah, we don't really have baths." Tom replied, shocking the Mane Six, "I need to use the restroom." Twilight Sparkle said, "Just go in the streets." Tom replied, "I am not relieving myself in public!" Twilight Sparkle said sternly, "Well, what bathroom thing you need to do also depends on how we use it." Tom said, "Ugh, fine, I have to pee." Twilight Sparkle replied, "We use that to wash laundry." Tom said, disgusting the Mane Six, "I am not giving you my urine!" Twilight Sparkle said angrily, "Yeah, that is downright nasty." Applejack said, "Do you guys have any toilet paper?" Pinkie Pie asked, "No." Tom replied, "Then how do you all wipe if you have to go poopy?" Pinkie Pie asked, "We just dig it out with our hands." Tom replied, the Mane Six gag at the thought, "Gross!" Rainbow Dash said, "Come on, let's go, I'll just use the bathroom at home." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, let's get out of this dump." Rainbow Dash replied, "Wait, one more thing, where do you guys bathe?" Fluttershy asked, "In that stream over there." Tom replied as he pointed to his left with his left index finger, the six mares go and exclaim with shock, the water the humans bathed in was filled with feces, the six go back, "That is nasty! The bath water needs to be cleaned!" Rarity said angrily, "Do y'all at least change your clothes after bathing?" Applejack asked, "Nope, we put our old clothes back on." Tom replied, the Mane Six were disgusted, "Come on, let's go." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all leave and go into the air with Twilight Sparkle's hot air balloon, "I am very offended, I cannot believe these people are comfortable with living in such filth!" Rarity said angrily, "I agree with Rarity, that place is disgustin'." Applejack replied, "Yeah, I'm going to need to take a bubble bath for the rest of the day." Pinkie Pie said, "Me too, I'm going to take a nice, long bath when I get home, I can't imagine how many germs I caught." Twilight Sparkle replied, "That place is too dirty, even for me." Rainbow Dash said, "Me too, Rainbow, and Ah grew up in a dirty environment." Applejack replied, "Really? It wasn't that dirty to me." Fluttershy said, shocking the other five, "You didn't think it was dirty, Fluttershy?" Applejack asked, "No. Believe it or not, but there are days when my cottage is even dirtier than their country." Fluttershy replied, "Well, I don't want to see that, I need a bath." Twilight Sparkle said, "If anypony wants or needs to see me, I'll be at the spa for the rest of the day, I cannot even live in such conditions." Rarity replied, "Well, I'm sorry to say this to you all, but that was only a small part of the land, there's more to explore." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, now that we have seen how dirty it is, I shall take the proper precautions for the next time for when we go back." Rarity replied, and they all headed home. The Mane Six took long baths when they got home while Rarity went to the spa and ordered every treatment they had, she was scared of contacting germs from Tom's kingdom, they also told Ponyville and Cloudsdale about the dirty living conditions the humans had, which grossed out everypony, they all decided to sleep for the rest of the day. Princess Luna entered the dream realm to get rid of any nightmares the foals were having, "Ah, another beautiful night in the dream realm." Princess Luna said to herself, she looks around until she smells a very foul stench, she began to gag, "What is that horrible smell?" Princess Luna asked, she looks and saw the Mane Six having dreams of Tom's kingdom, so did the ponies in Ponyville and Cloudsdale since they told them about their experiences. Princess Luna coughed and gagged at the stench, she looks and saw the stench was a combination of smelling dead animals, feces, and rotting meat, she looked on with pure disgust when she saw what she had to get rid of, she zapped the nightmares away while looking away, she eventually had to enter their dreams. Princess Luna entered the first dream and all four of her hoofs stepped on fecal matter, she looks down with disgust, she gagged at the stench again, she was angry about it being in the dream realm, the smell was everywhere, she was coughing as well, "This is the foulest stench I have ever smelled." Princess Luna said, she continued to gag and stick her tongue out, she was about to vomit from the stench, she continues working in the dream realm while enduring the stench, she coughed and gagged all night, the smell eventually gave her a headache, "I cannot focus under these conditions!" Princess Luna said as she tried to zap away the dreams with the stench, they just kept coming back, Princess Luna coughed, gagged, and wheezed for the rest of the night. The next day comes and Princess Luna had her face buried in flowers and she inhaled as much as she can, the stench from last night really hurt her head, Princess Celestia watched her with great concern. The Mane Six were leaving to explore the rest of the continent that Volvox ruled, "Alright, darlings, I am ready." Rarity said in a muffled voice, they look and saw her wearing a hazmat suit, "Rarity, what in tarnation are ya wearin'?" Applejack asked, "This is a hazmat suit, Applejack, I am not stepping into their country bare hoofed when it is filled with such filth." Rarity replied, "Well, let's go, we have a lot of places to explore." Twilight Sparkle said, and they enter the hot air balloon. Twilight Sparkle goes to the north of Shadowstorm, to Boletaria, they land and see the dreglings, they did not attack, "What are these guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I don't know, but they don't look healthy." Twilight Sparkle replied, they walk forward while the dreglings ignore them. The Mane Six walk forward and see the gate in front of them was open, but they decide to look elsewhere, they see the regular soldiers, who ignored them, so did the knights with the blue eyes, and the ones with the red eyes, they eventually come across two dragons, one was red, and the other was blue, "Excuse me." Fluttershy said as she walked forward, the red dragon breathed fire at her, which scared her, Pinkie Pie screamed as she jumped back to dodge it, "Hey, you almost burned mah friend." Applejack said, the red dragon breathed fire at her as well, she dodged it, "Let's try talking to the blue one." Twilight Sparkle said, and she tries to walk to him, he lifts his tail up and tries to smash her, which she dodged by flying back, "Let's go somewhere else, these dragons are not very nice." Rarity said, and they leave. They walk around a bit and went back to where they were originally at, the gate in front of them was open, so they walk into it, and were startled by the blob with hoplites around it, "What is this?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Let's go, Twilight, Ah'm gettin' the feelin' they ain't friendly." Applejack said, and they walk, Pinkie Pie looked back and saw the hoplites aiming their spears at them, she quivered with fear and went forward. The six mares come to a bridge with more dreglings and soldiers, they just walk forward and see two red eyed knights at the end, they ignored them and the six went forward. The six enter a courtyard and saw a giant knight with a lance and shield, Rarity screamed in shock at his size, "Whoa! This guy is huge!" Rainbow Dash said, "Can we go? He's scaring me." Fluttershy said, the others agree and they saw eight archers watching them, they go through the double doors. The six walk forward and saw carriages with wolves in them, they go up the stairs to their left and see an overweight man, "Ugh, I cannot say his big stomach is attractive." Rarity said, and they keep walking, they saw guards who could turn invisible, which scared them, they keep walking around the area until they arrived at a place filled with statues, a knight with a sword was there, "Whoa, that guy looks fast." Rainbow Dash said, "Indeed, I would not want to get on his bad side." Rarity replied, "Yeah, I don't think he's someone we want to anger, let's keep going, we still have a lot of places to explore." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go past him. The six keep walking and see more soldiers, knights, invisible soldiers, and overweight men with axes, they pass them until they came to a palace, they enter and go up the elevator, they look and saw a man sitting in a throne, wielding a black sword in his right hand, "What are you six doing in my kingdom?" the man asked, "We're here to explore this place, and report back to our home." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Are you six are from within the fog?" the man asked, "What fog?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The fog that contains the demons." the man replied, "Uh, no." Twilight Sparkle said, "I see." the man replied, "Well, down to business, my name is Twilight Sparkle, I am a princess from Equestria." Twilight Sparkle said, "My name is Allant, I am the king of this country." the man replied, "Oh right, the sign back there did say this kingdom's name." Pinkie Pie said, "Yes, you are in Boletaria, I am King Allant XII of Boletaria." King Allant replied, "Really? Wow, twelve generations of ruling a kingdom." Twilight Sparkle said, "I am king for a reason." King Allant replied, "Uh, Twilight, Ah'm gettin' a bad feelin' from that sword of his, it feels like demonic energy." Applejack said, "Me too, Applejack, it's very uncomfortable." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Ah think if we fight him, we ain't gonna live for that long." Applejack said, "Yeah, I keep getting the feeling that he's really strong." Rainbow Dash replied, "I am the king for good reason, if you're done here, then leave." King Allant said, and the six go back to their hot air balloon and depart. The Mane Six go to the northwest and see a castle, they land and knock on the door, an old man opens it, "Yes?" the man asked, "Uh, yes, we're here to see the ruler." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Right this way." the man said, and he leads them, they walk and they hear arguing, "Your majesty, that man has been of trouble." a male voice said, "There is nothing we can do, he is the one who is said to save us from the monsters." another male voice replied, "Save us? He has been causing more trouble than solving them." a third male voice said, the man leads them in and Mane Six see a round table with knights, "Your majesty, we have guests from the land to our west." the old man said, "Ah, yes, I heard about them in Shadowstorm yesterday, so they have come here." the king said, "I am Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria, what's your name?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Arthur, king of Camelot." the king replied, surprising the Mane Six, "Would ya look at that? Canterlot, Camelot." Applejack said, "Yes, what similar names." Fluttershy replied, "We are the Knights of the Round Table, we all equal in power." King Arthur said, surprising the six mares, "Well, I need your names as well." Twilight Sparkle said, "I am Sir Lancelot of the Lake, the only knight to ever beat King Arthur in a jousting match, and father of Sir Galahad, the greatest knight in Camelot." Sir Lancelot said, surprising the six mares, they were very impressed as well, "I am Sir Gawain, nephew of King Arthur, his sister, Morgause, and King Lot are my parents, I am the next heir to the throne, I am the only knight to challenge and defeat the Green Knight." Sir Gawain said, the six mares realized he was royalty as well, "I am Prince Geraint, husband of Lady Enid." Prince Geraint said, Rarity was swooned by him as the other five smiled, "I am Sir Percival, one of King Arthur's most loyal knights, I retrieved his sword when it was once stolen by the fairies." Sir Percival said, Rainbow Dash had a liking to him, "I am Sir Bors the Younger, son of Sir Bors the Elder, Sir Lancelot and I grew up together, I am one of King Arthur's most loyal and faithful allies, and one of his strongest, I have saved this kingdom from three dragons once, I slayed them all with one slash." Sir Bors the Younger said, the Mane Six liked him, even though the dragon slaying part made them uncomfortable, "I am Sir Lamorak, brother of Sir Percival, I have the power of thirty knights, I am King Arthur's third best knight." Sir Lamorak said, Applejack had a liking of him, "I am Sir Kay, foster brother of King Arthur, and one of his first allies." Sir Kay said, Applejack also liked him for being loyal to his family, so did Rainbow Dash, "I am Sir Gareth, I have defeated the Red Knight, the Blue Knight, the Green Knight, and the Black Knight." Sir Gareth said, the six mares clap, Twilight Sparkle got the feeling that the four knights were very powerful, "I am Sir Bedivere, one of King Arthur's first allies, I only have one hand, I lost my other one in a battle." Sir Bedivere said, the Mane Six were impressed, Twilight Sparkle wondered if she could fix his hand, "I am Sir Gaheris, nephew of King Arthur, a birth defect has made my left arm shorter than my right arm." Sir Gaheris said, Twilight Sparkle wondered if she could fix it, "I am Sir Galahad, son of Sir Lancelot, and the greatest knight in Camelot, I am one of King Arthur's most loyal followers." Sir Galahad said, Rainbow Dash thought he was awesome, "I am Sir Tristan, one of King Arthur's best warriors, but my skill is not with the sword, it is with the bow." Sir Tristan said, the six mares clapped, "I am Sir Palamedes, son of a king from Babylon, and slayer of the Questing Beast." Sir Palamedes said, the six mares were surprised to hear he was royalty, but did not like the fact he killed an animal, "That man who brought you six in is also famous." King Arthur said, "Wait, really?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Yes, my name is Merlin, I am the most powerful wizard in this land." the man replied, "Well, Ah'll be." Applejack said, a man came in shortly afterwards, "King Arthur, the guest is still being troublesome." the man said, "Troublesome? It ain't my fault I'm in a land full of primitive screwheads." Ash replied as he walked into the room with King Arthur and the others, the six mares were surprised to see him, they can tell his outfit was very different from the people in the continent, Rarity took off the helmet of her hazmat suit to look at him, "Who is this?" Applejack asked, "Name's Ash, apparently, I'm their supposed chosen one to save their land from destruction." Ash replied, "I must say, that shirt you're wearing looks hideous." Rarity said, "It's wear and tear damage, lady." Ash replied, King Arthur stood up and walked to him, "Now, Ash, this is not a good time for you to be, I have visitors to attend to." King Arthur said, "Yeah, so do I, and I suggest you attend to them before they end up killing you and your entire kingdom." Ash replied, "We are fine, our armor will protect us." King Arthur said, Ash punched King Arthur in the face with his left fist, the Mane Six become shocked when he fell, Rarity exclaimed with shock at what she just saw, "It didn't protect you against that, did it?" Ash asked, King Arthur stood up, "You six should go, this is going to take a while." King Arthur said, "But we still have to learn who else is here." Twilight Sparkle replied, "This is the last guy, he's a bit troublesome, but not too bad." Merlin said, "I will be if you idiots don't help me get home." Ash replied, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said while she walked forward, Ash looked at her, "It seems you need a lesson in friendship." Twilight Sparkle said, "My chainsaw and my boomstick are all the friends I need." Ash replied, "What in tarnation is a chainsaw and a boomstick?" Applejack asked, "Don't you have a shotgun at home?" Ash asked, "Actually, no." Applejack replied, "Well, that's what a boomstick is, my chainsaw is here on my hand." Ash said, the six look at his right hand, Fluttershy was scared by it, "Ooh, that looks perfect for slicing and dicing cake." Pinkie Pie said, "It cuts much more than that." Ash replied, "I must say, though, that chainsaw on your hand does look pretty cool." Rainbow Dash said, "Thanks, I had to go through a lot to get this." Ash replied, "You six should leave." Sir Lancelot said, "Yeah, attending to him is going to take time." Sir Percival said, and the six mares leave. The six go back into the hot air balloon and see a mountain to the northwest of Camelot, there were creatures with brown fur and three eyes there, they go to them and see the trolls were eating meat, Pinkie Pie screamed in shock as they landed, the trolls were ready to attack, "Stand down." a male voice said, they saw a troll wearing black armor walking to them, "What are you six doing here, in Stargra?" the troll asked, "We're here as ambassadors from Equestria." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Turn back, outsiders are not welcome here." the troll said, "I still need to the name of ruler for Princess Celestia." Twilight Sparkle replied, "That's me, I am King Karstaag." the troll said, "Um, you look stressed, maybe we can talk things out." Fluttershy said, "I am no animal, horse." King Karstaag replied, the six became offended, "We're ponies!" Twilight Sparkle said in an annoyed tone, "It matters not, get out, or you six will be our next meal." King Karstaag replied, the Mane Six become scared and get in the hot air balloon and leave, "Oh, I cannot believe him, how rude." Rarity said, "No kiddin', he said they were gonna eat us if we step hoof on their land." Applejack replied, "Well, we can see them from here, and I don't think it looks very good." Rainbow Dash said, they look and saw trolls fighting and killing one another, along with eating flesh of dead visitors, Twilight Sparkle quickly moves the hot air balloon away while looking away from them. The six go south and arrive into a kingdom that was always night, they saw bats and rats everywhere, Rarity exclaimed with shock, they landed and walked out, the citizens look at them, "We were expecting you, this way." a male vampire said, and he leads them, the six mares look around and see soldiers impaled on spikes, they were everywhere in the kingdom, it made them uncomfortable. The six arrive at a castle and go into a room, there was a long table with food and glasses with red liquid in them, a man sat across from them, "Thank you, that is all, you may leave." the man sitting said, and the other man left, "Welcome to Transylvania, I am Count Dracula, the ruler of this kingdom." the man said, "Well, I must say, what a feast you have prepared." Rarity replied, "Yes, you can thank my servants for that." Count Dracula said, "So, what do you guys do, Dracula?" Rainbow Dash asked, "We are creatures of the night, we cannot enter sunlight, please I'd like to welcome you all properly, we greet guests by biting their necks." Count Dracula replied, the six became hesitant, "Uh, can we skip the neck biting, Dracula?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, please, darling, bite marks on my perfect skin, it will ruin my photo shoots." Rarity said, "Very well, but come to me if you change your minds." Count Dracula replied, the Mane Six were uncomfortable, "I'll help myself to a drink, this wine does look appetizing." Rarity said, and she takes a sip while lifting the glass with her unicorn horn, she spits out the drink, "This doesn't taste like wine." Rarity said, Applejack put her left front hoof in the drink, it stuck to her hoof, shocking her, "It's blood!" Applejack said, Pinkie Pie and Rarity screamed, "Yes, it is our main food source, and the most nutritious to us." Count Dracula replied, "No way, I am not drinking this." Twilight Sparkle said, Count Dracula sniffs the air, "Wait a minute." Count Dracula said, he stands up and walks to Fluttershy, she quivered in fear, he leans towards her and smells her, "You have the scent of a vampire." Count Dracula said, Fluttershy quivered in fear again, "Uh, Dracula, we have to get going." Twilight Sparkle said, "Very well, remember you are welcome to come back here if you change your minds and wish to have your necks bitten." Count Dracula replied, and the six left, they went back to their hot air balloon and left, "That guy was super creepy." Pinkie Pie said, "Yes, he really scared me." Fluttershy replied, "Let's go to the next area, this place gives me the creeps." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go east. The Mane Six land and see men waiting for them, "What the? There are strange humans coming here in a round bird." a man said, "No, Percy, that's looks like some kind of balloon." another man replied, "What shall we do, Baldrick?" Percy asked, "They are said to be the foreigners, I'll go get Lord Blackadder." Baldrick replied, and he left and came back with Blackadder, "They're right here, my lord." Baldrick said, Blackadder looked around, "I don't see the ambassadors anywhere." Blackadder replied, "No, Blackadder, it's these quadrupedal creatures here." Baldrick said, Blackadder looks at them, "Bah! Those are just mere horses to ride on, where are the humans?" Blackadder asked, "No, Blackadder, the ambassadors are not human, they're those creatures there." Baldrick said, "Creature? You mean as in monsters?! Destroy them!" Percy said, "No, no, they're just here to speak, they mean us no harm." Baldrick replied, "Well, where are they? I don't see them anywhere." Percy said, Twilight Sparkle was getting very impatient, "They're right there, Lord Percy." Baldrick replied, "Where? I don't see any of them, either." Blackadder said, "I'm right here!" Twilight Sparkle said in a very annoyed tone, Percy screamed, "That horse spoke!" Percy said, "I saw it, too, we must be hallucinating." Blackadder replied, the Mane Six were getting extremely impatient, "No! I'm real!" Twilight Sparkle said angrily, "My lord, I have a cunning plan." Baldrick said, "What is it, Baldrick?" Blackadder asked, "If you tell those six who you are, you and Percy will be able to stop hallucinating and see and hear things normally." Baldrick replied, the Mane Six dropped their jaws, unable to believe how dimwitted they were, Blackadder went to them, "I am Prince Edmund Blackadder of England, the king was killed, I forgot how, but I run things now, those two there are my two most trusted people." Blackadder said, "I am Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria, I need to know who those two are as well." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I am Baldrick, Son of Robin the Dung Gatherer." Baldrick said, shocking the Mane Six, "Dung gatherer?!" Rarity asked, "I was also a dung shoveller before my current job, it is a highly respectable job." Baldrick replied, "Respectable?! That job is disgusting!" Rarity said, the other five mares agreed, "I am Lord Percy, Duke of Northumberland." Percy said, "Okay, that's all I needed, let's just go, girls." Twilight Sparkle said, and the six leave through the hot air balloon. The Mane Six arrive in the southwest of the continent and see a lot of stone there, fire comes out from under the ground and is shot at them, the Mane Six duck while Pinkie Pie screams, "Wait, stop." a male voice said, and they do, the Mane Six land and a male dwarf comes out from under the ground, "What was that about?" Applejack asked, "Our apologies, we thought it was a deadite." the dwarf replied, "A deadite?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Special type of demons that plague this land, we all fight to protect ourselves from them." the dwarf said, surprising the six, "I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria, here on behalf of Princess Celestia." Twilight Sparkle said, "I am King Flamma, the dwarf king, this place is called Azerlisia, and I'm sorry, we don't allow outsiders in our land." the dwarf replied, "Why not?" Applejack asked, "We are living in an underground city, and the foreigners like to break part of our homes to take to their homes as souvenirs, we can't let you six in." King Flamma replied, surprising them, "Uh, can we have a look?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I'm not too sure on that." King Flamma replied, "Pretty please, we don't want to go back to our princess empty handed." Fluttershy said, "I guess, but don't touch anything, our architecture is very fragile." King Flamma replied, "Thank you, you will be happy you did." Twilight Sparkle said, and the six go into the hole. The Mane Six walk around while King Flamma keeps a close eye on them, they see their underground cities were gray and made from rock, the dwarfs were masters of fire and earth magic, and had great physical strength and endurance, the six were in awe, but left soon, "Thank you, we'll be going now." Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright, and thank you for not breaking anything." King Flamma replied, "You're welcome." Pinkie Pie said, "Come on, girls, I think we're close to done." Twilight Sparkle said, and they took off in the hot air balloon. The Mane Six go to the southwest of the country and see a forest, "Ooh, that place looks pretty." Pinkie Pie said, "Yes, Pinkie, it does look pretty nice." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they begin to land, "Hey, look, giant mushrooms." Applejack said, "Oh, they're so beautiful, I can't wait to see all of the tiny little critters living there." Fluttershy replied, and they land. The Mane Six land and saw the people there were humanoid and had pointed ears, a male elderly one went to them, "Welcome to Ringford, the elf village, I am Elder Lazlo, the ruler and village elder." the elf said, "Thank you, I am Twilight Sparkle, these five are my royal escorts." Twilight Sparkle replied, "This way, the elves have been expecting you." Elder Lazlo said, and he leads them. The Mane Six see walking trees and waste everywhere, "There's a lot of bodily waste in this area." Rainbow Dash said, "Well, we are in a forest, Rainbow Dash, so I guess it's to be expected." Applejack replied, they see the butterflies in the country had glowing wings, Fluttershy was in awe, "Do you have anymore critters than butterflies?" Fluttershy asked, "Yes, we also have tigers, don't be afraid, they're friendly." Elder Lazlo replied, and they see the tigers, they had black fur with green and purple spots, Fluttershy greeted them and they rubbed their heads against her happily, she petted them and kept going with her friends. The elves were a peaceful and friendly species, they were seen using magic to control wood, and were alchemists, "Wow, this place is pretty nice." Twilight Sparkle said, "Thank you, it took us years to make the area like this." Elder Lazlo replied, "I'm sure it did, but we have to go now." Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright, good luck on your journey." Elder Lazlo replied, the six smiled and took off in the hot air balloon. The Mane Six were about to go to the southernmost area of the continent, they saw what appeared to be a fort, arrows were shot at them and Pinkie Pie and Rarity screamed, they look and saw the orcs aiming bows and arrows at them, "Ugh, I must say, they do look rather ugly." Rarity said, "I'm going to land the balloon, we'll be shot down at this rate." Twilight Sparkle said, and she does. The Mane Six step out and the orcs aimed their bow and arrows at them, shocking them, "Turn back and leave, no outsiders are allowed in Urgar." a female orc said, "Wait, we come in peace." Twilight Sparkle replied, "It matters not, any non-orc who tries to enter shall die." the orc said, shocking the six, "Uh, we still need to meet the ruler of you guys, for the record if we do open trade with one another." Fluttershy replied, "Like Regent Urub will ever do trade with you milk drinkers." the orc said, "Milk drinker?!" Rarity asked with shock, "We're ponies, we don't drink milk." Applejack said, "Begone, you ponies look like typical outsider weaklings." the orc replied, "Weakling?! That is it! Come down here and fight us!" Rainbow Dash said angrily, the orc chuckled, "Look at that, it looks like you guys actually have some backbone after all." the orc replied, "I'll be their opponent." a male orc said, the other orcs look at the front door with shock, "But, Regent Urub." the female orc said, "It's fine, let's see how strong they really are. Open the gate." Regent Urub replied, and they open, the orc was wearing dark green armor, "This is a regular fist fight, so no magic or weapons, this is also one-on-one, so one of you six have to fight me directly." Regent Urub said, Rainbow Dash was nervous, "Rainbow Dash, Ah think it'll be best if you let me handle this." Applejack said, Rainbow Dash nodded in agreement, Applejack walked forward, "Are you my challenger?" Regent Urub asked, "Darn right, Ah accept yer challenge." Applejack replied, Regent Urub smiles and raises his fists while Applejack stood on her hind hoofs. Regent Urub punches Applejack in her left cheek with his right fist, Applejack grunted loudly and almost fell onto the ground, her five friends looked away, Applejack's cheek turned purple, she focused and hit Regent Urub in the face with her front right hoof, he laughed, "Is that all you got?" Regent Urub asked, and he punched her in her right cheek with his left fist, it was not as strong as his right fist, but did sting a little, Applejack hit him in the face with her front left hoof, Regent Urub grunted and spit flew out of his mouth, he hit Applejack in the face with his right fist, she grunted felt one of her teeth get loose, she hit him in the face with her right front hoof harder than before, Regent Urub grunted a little, "Not bad, I was wrong about you." Regent Urub said, and he punched her in the face with his right fist and then hit her in her right cheek with his left fist, the two hits were fast, Applejack could not keep up, she grunted from both hits, Applejack lets out an annoyed grunt and focuses, she focuses and she does several fast hits with her front hooves and hit Regent Urub's face a total of ten times, he grunted a bit and still stood, he smiled and chuckled, "You've got backbone, I'll give you that, you lasted a lot longer than most of my opponents. Let them in, they've got a good fighter." Regent Urub said, and the gates opened. The Mane Six enter while smiling and see they lived a warrior life, they were fighting, training, doing blacksmith work in their free time, mining ores, and eating and drinking at certain times, "Where's the true ruler?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Excuse me?" Regent Urub asked, "You said you're just a regent, I'd like to see the true ruler." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Oh, about that, there is no king or queen in our culture, regent is the supreme ruler." Regent Urub said, surprising the six, "Well, we have to get going now." Twilight Sparkle said, "Farewell." Regent Urub replied, and the six took off in the hot air balloon. The six go to the southeastern forest next, "Ooh, I see bright lights in there." Pinkie Pie said, "They look like fireflies to me." Fluttershy replied, "I don't see any mushrooms, though." Twilight Sparkle said, Rainbow Dash looked, "It looks like a typical village to me." Rainbow Dash said, they look and see the houses were made of wood, "Well, there are plenty of trees there." Rarity replied, "Yeah, plenty, maybe Ah can ask to trade for some to rebuild the barn whenever it gets damaged." Applejack said, and they land. The six mares arrive into the village and saw the natives looked human, but the males had eagle-like wings, and the females had butter-fly like wings. Rarity chuckled at seeing them, "I must say, what beautiful wings they have." Rarity said, a male fairy in fancy clothes flies to them and lands, "Are you the magical beings from the other land?" the fairy asked, "Why, yes, we're from Equestria." Twilight Sparkle replied, "We were expecting you, the waters on our grounds showed us your arrivals, this is Lainca, the forest of the fairies, I am the ruler, Counselor Melvin, King Oberon and Queen Titania stepped down from ruling recently." the fairy said, "Why did they step down for?" Rarity asked, "They were tired of ruling after many years, and wanted to relax for once." Counselor Melvin replied, "Oh, I know the feeling, I have a lot of responsibilities as a princess, myself." Twilight Sparkle said, Counselor Melvin chuckled, "Can we explore the forest?" Fluttershy asked, "Of course, make yourself at home." Counselor Melvin replied, the six mares thanked him and walked around. The six mares look around and saw the fairies were omnivores, watching them eat meat made them very uneasy, they look and see the fairies sang songs and were practicing in magic and alchemy, they used fire, water, earth, and wind magic, "Wow, this magic is pretty strong." Twilight Sparkle said, "Indeed, strongest in the land." Counselor Melvin replied from behind, startling the six mares, "Don't sneak up on us like that." Rainbow Dash said, "My deepest apologies." Counselor Melvin replied, "Where are all of the animals at?" Fluttershy asked, "Look into the trees." Counselor Melvin replied, and Fluttershy did, she saw squirrels in the trees, they had glowing green symbols on them, "Aw, you all look so cute." Fluttershy said as she flew to them, she looks around and sees walking trees, they carried birds with them, the birds were also glowing with green symbols on them, "What's with the symbols?" Fluttershy asked, "We have so much magic, our fauna got enchanted with it as well." Counselor Melvin replied, surprising the six, "Is there anything else you all want to know?" Counselor Melvin asked, "Sorry, but we have to go to the rest of the lands, we don't have time, we'll be leaving now." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Alright, good day to you all." Counselor Melvin said, and the six leave in the hot air balloon. The six mares go to the east of the country and there was a raging blizzard there, the hot air balloon began moving around, the six let out several exclaims of shock, the hot air balloon crashes and they see humans, they try to walk forward to in front of the entrance, no one was there, so they entered. The Mane Six walk around and see the humans there, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans look at her, "Where can we see this area's ruler?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "This way." a male guard replied, and he leads them, Pinkie Pie did not like the cold weather, "Oh, this area is making me feel down." Pinkie Pie said, "Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll." the guard replied, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no one takes a sweetroll from Pinkie." Pinkie Pie said, "Are you six of any importance?" the guard asked, "I'm a princess, my brother is also married to a princess." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Ah, so your brother is just like me, took an arrow to the knee." the guard said, "Uh, no, my brother never got shot in the knee." Twilight Sparkle replied, the guard did not respond, "We're here." the guard said, and he left, the six entered the palace. The six see a man in the throne and go to him, Twilight Sparkle was very annoyed by him slouching in the throne, "Yes, make it quick, I'm a very busy man." the man said, "I am Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria, these five are my royal escorts, I am here to meet the ruler of this place." Twilight Sparkle replied, "My name is Ulfric Stormcloak, this place is called Windhelm, I am the city's Jarl." the man said, surprising the six, "Wait, Jarl?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Is something the matter?" Ulfric Stormcloak asked, "The other rulers of your kind were called kings." Applejack replied, "Each area uses a different title for ruler, this kingdom's title for the ruler is Jarl." Ulfric Stormcloak said, "Oh." Applejack said, "I don't mean to be rude or anything, Ulfric, but you slouching in your throne is kind of bothering me." Twilight Sparkle said, "All rulers sat like this when I was younger." Ulfric Stormcloak replied, greatly shocking Twilight Sparkle, she did not like his posture at all, "If you're done, then leave, I have errands to attend to." Ulfric Stormcloak said, "Oh, we'll be going, we're done here." Twilight Sparkle replied, and Ulfric Stormcloak stood up and walked to the room to the left, the six left, moved the hot air balloon out of the snowstorm, and took off, "I can't believe he slouches in his throne, Princess Celestia would never let me sit like that." Twilight Sparkle said, "I must agree, as a prim and proper lady, me sitting like that would make me lose my dignity." Rarity replied, "How many more places do we have to visit?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I believe just two more, and we're done." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Good, Ah'll admit, Ah am gettin' a bit tired." Applejack said, "Me too, I hope my animals are alright." Fluttershy replied, "This land has not been so fun." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, we'll all be able to rest when we do these two, let's go." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go to the east of Windhelm. The Mane Six arrive at another forest, but this one did not have any magic, they see several straw huts there, they land and see humans looking at them, a male walks to them, "What are you six doing here?" the human asked, "We're ambassadors from Equestria." Twilight Sparkle replied, the man smiled, "Why are you smiling like that?" Rarity asked, "Sorry, it's hard for us to not think of you six as food." the man replied, shocking them, "F... Food?!" Rarity asked, "Yeah, you see, we're werewolves, we eat meat, this country is called Lycan, I am the ruler, Chief Jason." the man replied, "Uh, y'all look like them regular people to me." Applejack said, "That's because there hasn't been a full moon for sometime, we change to our true forms when that happens." Chief Jason replied, "Uh, during another one of my travels, I read books on werewolves, it said you guys are enemies with the vampires." Twilight Sparkle said, "Oh, that's exaggerated propaganda, the vampires are our best friends." Chief Jason replied, "Oh, well, I have to learn your culture and customs for my homeland." Twilight Sparkle said, "We can't teach you everything." Chief Jason replied, "That's fine, just show me what you can show me." Twilight Sparkle said, and Chief Jason leads them. The Mane Six see the werewolves were carnivores and drank blood, much to their uneasiness, the werewolves were hunters, they used mostly spears and bows and arrows, and lived together as one, they did not have any music, and the only fashion they were as humans were the hide of other animals, which made Fluttershy very uncomfortable, "Well, that is all." Chief Jason said, "Okay, we'll be off now." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the Mane Six take off in the hot air balloon, "Okay, one more place, and we're done." Twilight Sparkle said, "Good, I could use a nap." Rainbow Dash replied, "Me too." Fluttershy said, "Well, we're already at the last area." Twilight Sparkle said, and they land on the northeastern part of the land. The Mane Six arrive into the last area and they see the humanoid creatures had sky blue skin, white monochromatic eyes, two holes for their noses, and black claws in place of fingers and toes, some of them had hair, they were straight, black, and long, the males had hair that went down to their scapulae, the other males were bald, while the females had hair that went down to their lower backs, "Oh my, what long hair they have, it is perfect to style in fashion." Rarity said, "We don't like our hairs styled." a male creature said, he walked to them, "I am Chief Isbar, the ruler of these people, this place is called Necronomicra." the male creature said, "What are you guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We're ghouls." Chief Isbar replied, "Ghouls?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, we're creatures of the night." Chief Isbar replied, "Well, we need to see what this country is like." Twilight Sparkle said, "Go ahead and look around." Chief Isbar replied, and the six walk around. The Mane Six see the ghouls were practitioners of black magic and necromancy, this made them very uncomfortable, "Isn't that type of magic forbidden in Equestria?" Rarity asked, "No, we've never seen that type of magic before." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the six keep looking, they see the ghouls using necromancy and then mind control to control the dead bodies, making them into zombies, the Mane Six were very uncomfortable, they also saw the ghouls ate meat and drank blood, making them even more uncomfortable. The Mane Six went back to Chief Isbar, "Okay, I think we've seen enough." Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright, good day to you six." Chief Isbar replied, and they take off in the hot air balloon, Twilight Sparkle sighed in relief while Rarity took her hazmat suit off, "We're finally done." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, Ah can use a break, too." Applejack replied, "I hope my animals are okay." Fluttershy said, "Still, Ah can't believe that first guy lied to us." Applejack said, "About what, darling?" Rarity asked, "He said that the other places were even dirtier, but they turned out to be cleaner." Applejack replied, "Well, you do have a point there, but he was also right to an extent, Applejack, the vampire kingdom had dead bodies on spikes, several places had meat as food, and that one place has feces cleaner as a highly respectable job, all in all, that entire land is dirty." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, when we go back there, first order of business for me is to teach them hygiene." Rarity replied, "I agree, Rarity, I can't believe how filthy that land is." Twilight Sparkle said, "Me neither, I can't find anything fun in all of that filth." Pinkie Pie replied, "I can." Fluttershy said, "Uh, how, Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Because my cottage is just as dirty or even dirtier on some days." Fluttershy replied, "That is a sight I most definitely don't want to see." Rarity said, "Me neither, well, we can rest once when we get home." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they head to Equestria. The dragons in the Dragon Lands continue practicing the Thu'um, they were very powerful, and loud, some of the hippogriffs came out of the water, "What is that noise?" Princess Skystar asked, she looks and saw the dragons using the Thu'um, which shocked her, she has never seen such power, but she was not the only one uneasy, Princess Celestia was watching from the balcony of her castle, she was very nervous that the dragons would be too strong in the future. Spike and Smolder were doing Thu'um competitions outside, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Silverstream, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle were watching and cheering, "Yol Toor Shul!" Smolder said, she shot fire out of her mouth, "Fo Krah Diin!" Spike said, he shot ice out of his mouth, they canceled each other out, "I must say, that dragon breath thing is pretty cool." Gallus said, "Best shouting competition ever!" Silverstream said, "How long did it take y'all to learn 'em?" Apple Bloom asked, "Yeah, how long did it take?" Sandbar asked, "Well, it's actually a natural ability." Smolder replied, "Yeah, dragons are just born with it." Spike said, "Doesn't it hurt your lungs and throat?" Scootaloo asked, "Not really." Spike replied, "What else can you guys do?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Watch this. Strun Bah Qo!" Smolder replied and a downpour appeared, lightning strikes began falling, the ponies screamed, shocking everyone, "Lok Vah Koor!" Spike said, and the skies cleared, relieving all of them, "Yona actually scared of dragon power." Yona said, "Me too, I tried the shouts after changing into a dragon, I can't do it." Ocellus replied, "Yeah, it's kind of a dragon only ability." Smolder said, "Like how telekinesis is only for those with horns?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Or like how flight is only for those with wings?" Silverstream asked, "Kind of." Smolder replied, "Still, it looks like the yaks and earth ponies have no powers." Scootaloo said, "We do, Scootaloo, earth ponies make crops grow." Apple Bloom replied, "Yeah, we have superpony strength, speed, and endurance when compared to other ponies, too." Sandbar said, "Yona has super strength as well." Yona said, "And us Pegasi can walk on clouds." Scootaloo replied, they all smiled, "Excuse me, you two." Princess Cadence said as she ran to Spike and Smolder, "I'm going to have to ask you two to stop shouting, you two caused a downpour in the Crystal Empire, and woke up Flurry Heart." Princess Cadence said, embarrassing Spike and Smolder, they hear Flurry Heart crying in a distance, "Sorry." Spike and Smolder said, "Thank you, now if you two don't mind, I have to attend to my baby." Princess Cadence replied and she walked away, they all left and went home. Twilight Sparkle arrived home a few hours later and Spike went to her, "How was the trip?" Spike asked, "Less than pleasurable, Spike." Twilight Sparkle replied, "You okay?" Spike asked with worry, "Yes, Spike, I'm fine, just tired." Twilight Sparkle replied, Spike felt bad for her, "How was your day?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Eh, the usual, still practicing my shouting techniques." Spike replied, "I heard, a storm was caused in Equestria and Flurry Heart was awakened by the shouting." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, Smolder caused the storm, I had to use another shout to clear the skies." Spike replied, "Spike, that shout of yours that cleared the skies almost destroyed Cloudsdale, the clouds dispersed and the ponies almost fell to the ground." Twilight Sparkle said, "Oh, uh, sorry about that." Spike replied embarrassingly, "Come to my office tomorrow, I have something to tell you and Smolder, but as for now, get a paper ready, I have to send a letter to Princess Celestia about the new area." Twilight Sparkle said, Spike got the paper and quill ready, "Alright, I'm ready." Spike said, "Dear, Princess Celestia..." Twilight Sparkle said, and she tells Spike what to write down and what she discovered about the new continent in the Celestial Sea. The next day comes and Princess Luna had no problem in the dream realm last night, she had flowers against her snout to protect herself from the stench. Princess Celestia reads the letter Twilight Sparkle sent her, she was holding it up with telekinesis, she was shocked at what the letter said, she looked at it while she walked through a hallway, "Roads have feces in them? Food has cockroaches in them? Vampires have dead bodies impaled on spikes? Vampires drink blood? Dead animals are in the road? Some creatures eat meat? Some creatures are unfriendly and unwelcoming? One ruler slouches in his throne? Pigs and rats roam the streets? People have black and rotten teeth? People use urine to do laundry? People dump their feces in the road?!" Princess Celestia said as she read the letter, she was very shocked, she reads the rest, "People only bathe twice a year?! People put same dirty clothes back on after bath?! Bath water has fecal matter in it?!" Princess Celestia said with great shock, her eyes and mouth were wide open, the royal guards and Princess Luna overhear her, they were shocked and disgusted as well. Princess Luna went to Princess Celestia's left, "Let me see that." Princess Luna said, and she looks and reads the letter, she also saw parts of some people being friendly and welcoming, and the magic of the fairies, along with the magic of the ghouls, she sees the parts Princess Celestia said out loud and was very shocked, "This is disgusting!" Princess Luna said, "I couldn't agree more, sister, I really hope they start cleaning." Princess Celestia replied, "I still don't understand why the other countries are not reacting." Princess Luna said, "Now that you mention it, Luna, I do find that a bit strange as well, maybe they haven't gotten word of it, yet." Princess Celestia replied, and the two walk together. Tom tried to send the humans to Equestria by ship in hopes of getting to know them as well, "No, no, no! Turn back." Shining Armor said, the humans look at him with confusion, "Is something wrong?" a male human asked, "You guys are not coming into our kingdom smelling like that!" Princess Cadence replied, "Actually, we thought it'd be okay for us to come, since you all came to our land." another male human said, "You all can come when you wash yourselves, but until then, turn around." Shining Armor replied, "Come on, guys, let's just go home." a third male human said, and they get ready to leave, their foul stench goes into the Crystal Empire and the ponies cough and gag, their foul smell also woke up Flurry Heart, which made her cry, Princess Cadence becomes very shocked and flies to her to get her to go back to sleep, Shining Armor looks and saw the humans were leaving. Two days pass and the humans still did not clean up, the foul smell of their land was in the air, the ponies and Princess Ember went to Shadowstorm to see them, "Is something the matter?" Tom asked, "This is gross, I can't even step hoof on here without the fear of getting sick." Starlight Glimmer replied, Sunset Shimmer arrived shortly afterwards, "Ew! Twilight wasn't joking when she said this place is filthy." Sunset Shimmer said, "Great wickering stallions!" Doctor Whooves said as he came into the kingdom and saw how dirty it was, "This is disgusting! We'd like for you to clean up your kingdom." Princess Cadence said, "Really? We're a lot cleaner than we used to be." Tom said, shocking the people visiting them, "Look, guys, I can handle dirty places, but this is too dirty." Princess Ember said, "Then I assume you all are from a noble family." Tom replied, "No we ain't, Ah was raised on a farm." Applejack replied, "Me too." Pinkie Pie said, "So, what was the deal, exactly?" Tom asked, "Clean up your land, this is the dirtiest country I have ever seen." Princess Celestia replied, "It's not just my kingdom, is it?" Tom asked, "Of course not, all of the other kingdoms need to clean up their homes, too." Twilight Sparkle replied, "And if we don't?" Tom asked, "Then I will have walls around your land and label this entire area as quarantined." Princess Celestia replied, "Alright, let's get to cleaning, guys." Tom said, "Thank you, let us know when you all are done, me and the others shall teach you all proper hygiene." Rarity replied, and they left. The people on the continent clean the land while the others watch, "Hey, your majesty, what do we do with the dead bodies?" a male asked, "Throw it in the water." Tom replied, Pinkie Pie and Rarity screamed with shock while Twilight Sparkle flew to them, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! There are people living in the water!" Twilight Sparkle said, "Wait, there are?" Tom asked, "Yes, the seaponies." Twilight Sparkle replied, Queen Novo came out of the water in her hippogriff form, "What is that smell?" Queen Novo asked, she looks and saw the Medieval continent, she was disgusted by how dirty it was, "I am not going anywhere near there." Queen Novo said, and she went back into the water after changing to a seapony, Princess Skystar came out shortly afterwards as a hippogriff, "What is it, mother?" Princess Skystar asked, and she sees the continent, "Ugh, ew, ew, ew." Princess Skystar said as she looked at the land. The humans clean the dead animals and feces, while the vampires got rid of the dead bodies, they buried them into the ground. Rarity went over with clothes, "Okay, now that you all have finished cleaning, it is time for you all to learn about proper hygiene." Rarity said, she showed them how to brush their teeth, how to wash, how to shave, "Wait, you shave?" Blackadder asked, "Why, darling, yes, I do, it's hard to see, but I have very small hair on my face." Rarity replied, "That gives me an idea, Percy, Baldrick, we shall shave our horses when we get back home." Blackadder said, the natives of the continent just look at him annoyed while some shook their heads, there was a reason why Blackadder was the weakest ruler in the land, "Hey, Blackadder, I'm willing to use my chainsaw to shave your face if you pay me." Ash said, "Pay you, pay, pay, pay, pay, how do I do that?" Blackadder asked, Rarity let out a slight exclaim of shock at how dumb he was, "Don't, Blackadder, that chainsaw of his is no toy." King Arthur said, "Well, that's a shame, I would've liked to play with it." Blackadder replied, "Yeah, I wanted you to play with it, too." Ash said, "Well, moving on, it's time to teach you all how to wash properly." Rarity said, and she shows them, she used clean water in a pot, "First things first, the water must be clean, no solid objects of any kind in the water." Rarity said, she also used her telekinesis to give them the clothing she made, "Another thing, after you finish bathing, you put on a new, clean pair of clothes, not your old dirty ones." Rarity said, and the humans try, they got it done quite easily, the other creatures in the land did not participate. Rarity finished and Twilight Sparkle came, "Okay, now, let's get some nice, clean toilets installed." Twilight Sparkle said, and she put toilets in the bathrooms, while the other unicorns and Pegasi made sewer systems, the ponies showed them how to use them, the humans saw how easy it was, the ponies were starting to become happy at seeing the country get cleaner, the liquid and solid waste into a body of water that was not used by anyone. Sunset Shimmer walks around and cleans any regular trash, she also used telekinesis to get the feces out of the water, the humans sweep the road while Sunset Shimmer looked around, "Hey, you guys missed a spot." Sunset Shimmer said, and Tom cleaned it, Shadowstorm was completely clean, "Yay!" Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle said as they ran around and played in the road, "There, now you guys can come to our land." Shining Armor said, "Well, go on and go, guys." Tom said, and they do, the humans explore Equestria and look around, they liked it, they came back with reports of the land later that day. Five days pass and the natives of the continent did not have any relationship with Equestria yet, nor did they with Seaquestria or Mount Aris, the people on the Medieval continent did not interact with the hippogriffs or seaponies at all. The day to pay the taxes comes and everypony watched them go over to pay taxes to Shadowstorm since it was the capital kingdom, "Wow, they have taxes, too." Twilight Sparkle said, "Hey, wait a minute, somethin' ain't right." Applejack replied, they look and saw they were going to the church instead of to Tom's castle. The Mane Six go to the land and run to them, "Excuse me, what are you guys doing?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We're paying our taxes." Prince Geraint replied, "But why ain't y'all goin' to Tom for?" Applejack asked, "I'm just a figurehead." Tom replied, "What?" Pinkie Pie asked, "We all are, the leader of the church is this land's true ruler." King Arthur replied, shocking the six. Princess Celestia overheard them and flew to them, she walked to them after landing, "If I am not mistaken, you all are just figureheads, and those who control religion are the ones who truly rule this land." Princess Celestia said, "Yes, the church is more powerful than royalty." Count Dracula replied, he wore a cloak to keep himself hidden from the sun, he also wore white clothing instead of black clothing, "What? That doesn't sound right." Rarity said, "Sorry, that's how our land is." King Allant replied, "Well, their land, my kingdom isn't influenced by the church." Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak said, "Our land has been at war with them." Baldrick said, the seven mares were not happy, "I would like to meet the members of this church." Twilight Sparkle said, "Whoa, wait, the church has a lot of members." Counselor Melvin replied, "Well, tell them to come out here to meet us." Twilight Sparkle said, the church opens and a group of humans came out, they wore knight armor, but also had white cloaks over their armor, each cloak had a red cross on it, "Who are these guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, "They are the Knights Templar, the church's first line of defense." Chief Isbar replied, "Who's their commander?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I am." Tom replied, "Okay, who are the next people?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the church's roof flies open and the seven demons in the church come out, they were huge, scaring the seven mares, they float forward, "Who are you guys?" Princess Celestia asked, "We are the Seven Princes of Hell." Lucifer replied, "Identify yourselves." Princess Celestia said, "Lucifer, Prince of Pride." Lucifer said, "Leviathan, Prince of Envy." Leviathan said, "Mammon, Prince of Greed." Mammon said, "Beelzebub, Prince of Gluttony." Beelzebub said, "Belphegor, Prince of Sloth." Belphegor said, "Asmodeus, Prince of Lust." Asmodeus said, "Satan, Prince of Wrath." Satan said, shocking the mares, "Pride? Envy? Greed? Gluttony? Sloth? Lust? Wrath? This church sounds like it spreads hatred instead of friendship." Princess Celestia said, "Well, what they represent is known to us as the seven deadly sins." Tom replied, "Seven deadly sins?" Fluttershy asked, "Yes, pride is the worst one, we believe it leads to the other six happening." Tom replied, "Well, I'll ask about that later, I need to meet the rest of the members of the church." Twilight Sparkle said, "This way." Tom replied, and he leads them into the church. The seven mares enter and a portal was on the floor, they go in it and were taken to a place, it was fiery, they hear screams of agony as well, which scared the mares, they walk around and see demons everywhere, "Members of the church, you all have visitors." Tom said, and they hear walking, "Come on, we have to get out now." Tom said, and they leave and Tom led them back outside. A few minutes pass and the demons of Solomon appeared, scaring the seven mares, "Okay, I'll make this quick, state your name, title if you have one, if more than one, then state all of your titles, your occupations, and your powers."

Princess Celestia replied, and she walked back, Ash was getting the feeling he will not get along with her, "Well, let's go ahead and pay." King Allant said, and they do, the rest of the day goes on with nothing eventful happening. The next day comes and the ponies see the dragons, griffons, yaks, and changelings on the continent, the yaks got there by boat. The ponies thought they were finally going over to see who the newcomers to the world were, which made Twilight Sparkle happy. Volvox was with Dragon Lord Torch, they smiled at one another, "Good to have you back, Torch." Volvox said, "It's good to be back." Dragon Lord Torch replied, Volvox smiled, "Yes, it's time for the griffons to reserve you, just like how King Grover did long ago, I am willing to be your adviser once again." Grampa Gruff said, "Good to have you back, too, Gruff." Volvox replied, "Yaks honored to serve Emperor Volvox once again, just like how Prince Rutherford's father did long ago."

Pharynx said, "Yes, it's great to be under your rule again, Emperor Volvox." King Thorax said, "I'm glad to have you guys back, too, I hope you're as good as a ruler as King Metamorphosis was." Volvox replied, "You will not be disappointed, Emperor Volvox." King Thorax said, Volvox smiled, "Hey! Wait a minute! Stop! Stop! Stop!" Twilight Sparkle said as she flew to them, the rest of the ponies went to him, the hippogriffs went as well, "What is this about serving him once again?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Oh, uh, you see, Headmare Twilight, Emperor Volvox was the original ruler for the changelings long before we came to this world." Ocellus replied, "Yak served under Emperor Volvox before, too, King Bison pledged alliance to him." Yona said, "King Grover served under him as well, so did Grampa Gruff, he's the original ruler for the griffons." Gallus said, "The dragons were his first allies after the demons, Dragon Lord Torch served as one of his military generals." Smolder said, the ponies and hippogriffs were shocked, "How long ago was this?" Queen Novo asked, "Uh, maybe about seven hundred to eight hundred years ago, yaks not remember." Yona replied, "It was sometime before Princess Celestia became the ruler of Equestria, I think she was still a filly when we served under Emperor Volvox." Smolder said, "I demand to know why you all originally served under him." Princess Luna said, "The deadites were attacking us, Emperor Volvox saved us from extinction, and he offered us to join him in his fight, it was also for our survival, that's why we served under him." Grampa Gruff replied, "Yes, and unfortunately, three of the four original rulers of you guys are dead." Volvox said, "Wait, you were ruler of the dragons at that time, too, father?" Princess Ember asked, "Shortly before we came here, I was the ruler of the dragons already, I am the only original ruler left from when we served under Emperor Volvox." Dragon Lord Torch replied, surprising everycreature, "What did you guys do when serving under him?" Sandbar asked, "Dragons were his main fighting forces." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "The griffons acted as scouts and advisers to him." Grampa Gruff said, "Yaks were diplomats when under Volvox." Prince Rutherford said, "Us changelings acted as his soldiers." King Thorax said, "How did you guys originally serve him?" Princess Cadence asked, "Oh, right, we didn't say it, yet, we all are from another world, this land is actually our home." Pharynx replied, surprising the ponies and hippogriffs, Princess Celestia was not happy and flew up to Volvox's face, "I do not appreciate you just taking over like this, you can't just come in here and take these people away from here." Princess Celestia said, "Uh?" Volvox asked, "This was what I was talking about the other day, Volvox, here, she's the strongest ruler, you're not as powerful as you used to be." King Thorax said, "What makes you think you can just come in here and take over immediately?" Princess Celestia asked, "That is not why I'm here." Volvox replied, "Then why are you here?" Princess Celestia asked, "Because the deadites have been attacking my land, some of the creatures went extinct, the deadites have been hiding for now, I'm here to get old allies back to help me." Volvox replied, Princess Celestia was a little speechless, "We were just coming here to get old allies, solve the monster problem, and leave, plain and simple." Dommiel said, "Oh, so you all weren't planning to stay here for long." Sunset Shimmer said, "Not at all." Dommiel replied, "Well, I think it would be best if we all gather together and discuss what to do against the deadites." Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak said, the others agreed, "Alright, let's get this over with." Volvox replied, and the rulers entered the church. Everybody was in a circle and there were many people, the people present at the meeting were Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, Giovi, Ash, King Allant, King Arthur and his knights, Blackadder, Percy, Baldrick, Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak, King Oberon, Queen Titania, Counselor Melvin, Elder Lazlo, Chief Isbar, Regent Urub, King Flamma, Lord Dracula, Chief Jason, King Karstaag, the Seven Princes of Hell, the seventy two demons of Solomon, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, the Mane Six, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Sunburst, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Spike, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, Pharynx, Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, Sky Beak, Ocean Flow, Terramar, Silverstream, and General Seaspray were present at the meeting, "Okay, let's get this over with, I am sensing the deadites will be appearing soon, and we have to get ready, but what do you all want to do?" Volvox asked, "Simple, crush them and eat them." King Karstaag replied, "What?! No! Maybe we can befriend them." Pinkie Pie said, "There is no befriending these creatures, lady." Ash said, "How are you sure about that?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Because these deadites can change their hosts back to normal and act like regular people, and when your guard is down, they change back to their true forms and attack you." Ash replied, shocking the ponies and hippogriffs, "I'm sorry, but he speaks the truth, that's how they almost wiped out the changelings." King Thorax said, "Yes, but unfortunately, the giants, goblins, incubi, succubi, and alps were not so lucky." Dommiel replied, "See, there you go, these deadites have plagued us for years, it's time we destroyed them." Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak said, Princess Celestia was a bit bothered, "Ulfric, I would like for you to sit properly." Princess Celestia said, "Actually, that was the royal way to sit last generation." King Arthur replied, greatly shocking the ponies, "What?! That's how royalty sits?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Last generation, yes." Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak replied, "Don't you sit like that at home?" Tom asked, "No!" Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, moving on, guys, what do you all have against the deadites?" Ash asked, "Well, I've got some dragonic abilities in me." Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak replied, "Wait, what do you mean you have dragon abilities?" Princess Ember asked, "Fus Ro Dah!" Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak said, the shout almost blew Princess Ember back, shocking the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs, "I, too, can use the Thu'um." Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak said, "How? The Thu'um is a dragon only ability." Princess Ember replied, "Before they were killed by the deadites, four humans studied the Thu'um, it took generations and several lifetimes to study, but those four were the ones to find out how us humans can use the Thu'um, and I studied under them as a child." Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak said, "That reminds me, how is your Thu'um training coming, young one?" Volvox asked, "I already mastered it." Spike replied happily, Volvox chuckled, "It's good to see you reach your full potential as a young child." Volvox said, "Thanks." Spike replied, "What about the rest of you? What do you guys have against the deadites?" Ash asked, "What deadites?" Blackadder asked, "You know, those possessed people that have been killing our citizens." Baldrick replied, "Possessed? I thought they were merely sick and wanted food." Percy said, the other rulers look at them with disapproval and disdain, "Someone kill this guy before he kills all of us with his stupidity." King Flamma said, the others agreed while the ponies were shocked they would suggest such a thing, "No, guys, I'm sorry to break this to you, but we have to spare him, and trust me, his descendants are a lot smarter than he is." Ash said, "Thank goodness for that, I have no patience for his utter stupidity." Rarity replied, "Ha-ha, so I will be supreme ruler one day." Blackadder said, "Sorry, Blackadder, but that won't be for about another three hundred years." Ash replied, "Do my descendants become smarter?" Baldrick asked, "Sorry, Baldrick, but you're the only smart guy in your family, all of your descendants are idiots." Ash replied, "How about me?" Percy asked, "Sorry, Percy, but your bloodline will end in about a hundred years from now." Ash replied, "Hundred years? I still have many more years to live!" Percy said, "No, in a hundred years from now, your descendant will die, and your family's tree will come to a complete halt." Ash replied, "Oh." Percy said, "How about you, northern king, what do you have against the deadites?" Ash asked, "Well, I can use the swords left for my family." King Allant replied, "Well, use the Demonbrandt, King Allant, that Soulbrandt you're wielding won't do any good on them." Volvox said, King Allant nodded, reluctant to use the white sword, Princess Celestia looked at his black sword, "Wait a minute, I knew I was sensing some kind of demonic energy in this room somewhere." Princess Celestia said, "Do not fight him, all of those who have opposed him have fallen." King Arthur said, "Yes, even I cannot best him in combat." Sir Lancelot said, "Is he really that powerful?" Shining Armor asked, "Yes, when it comes to authority and rank, I'm the strongest ruler of the humans, but when it comes to combat and physical prowess, King Allant surpasses us greatly, even the other creatures here cannot beat him." Tom replied, "Well, moving on, do you guys have any torture chambers?" Ash asked, the ponies were shocked when he suggested such a thing, "Well, we do have several torture chambers in Hell." Vine said, "Yes, maybe we can use them." Bael said, "No, guys, when the deadites attack, the demons will be the first ones to turn." Ash replied, shocking the demons, "You mean... our legions will be the first ones to turn?!" Andras asked, "Yes." Ash replied, "Let's go." and the Seven Princes of Hell and the seventy two demons on Solomon leave the room through portals, "We will all be dead if we have to fight every legion." Chief Jason said, "Indeed, we will be greatly outnumbered." Count Dracula replied, "Hold on, how big is one legion?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Five thousand demons." Tom replied, the Mane Six and Princess Celestia were very shocked, they thought about how many demons there were, "Each demon has magic we cannot cast." Elder Lazlo said, "Yes, their dark magic surpasses ours as well." Chief Isbar replied, "Not to mention the fact that one demon has the physical strength that surpasses the strength of an orc, a dwarf, and a troll combined." Regent Urub said, "Yes, but the trolls will not help you guys." King Karstaag replied, "Wait a minute, trolls once tried to eat King Bison." Prince Rutherford said, "Well, he did trespass onto our land." King Karstaag replied, "What were you other creatures planning on how to take out the deadites?" Ash asked, "Well, us fairies can try using our magic to change them back." Titania replied, "That ain't gonna work." Ash said, "You know how to change them back, Ash?" Oberon asked, "No, there is no way to change them back, what we have to do is send them back with a spell." Ash replied, "Oh, I can cast the magic and spells with my horn." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, just a zap from our horns should do the trick." Sunburst said, "Not that kind of spell." Ash replied, causing the ponies to exclaim with confusion, "The spell has to be said out loud." Ash said, causing the ponies' excitement to die down, "You gotta be kidding me." Pinkie Pie said, "Afraid not." Ash replied, "So, what kind of spell do we need?" Terramar asked, "Well, first of all, we need to find the book that contains the spell, it is mostly known as the Book of the Dead, its proper name is Necronomicon Ex-Mortis." Ash replied, "Necronomicon Ex-Mortis? I don't know that book, I have hundreds of books back at home, but I've never heard of that one." Twilight Sparkle said, "Please, Ash, darling, describe what the book looks like." Rarity said, "It's cover looks like a face, it's made out of human flesh, each word in it is written in blood, the book contains prophecies, funeral incantations, and demon resurrection passages, every word is also written in a different language, so I doubt anyone of us here will understand it, and the majority of these people are illiterate." Ash replied, shocking the ponies and hippogriffs, "For real?" Applejack asked, "Are you serious?" Silverstream asked, "He speaks the truth, only the members of the church and Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak know how to read." Dommiel replied, surprising the ponies and hippogriffs, "We hope you will save us all, Ash." King Arthur said, "Why me for?" Ash asked, "Because you are the Hero from the Sky, you're the chosen one, you were sent here from the future to save us." Sir Lancelot replied, the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs were shocked, "You're from another world, too?" Silverstream asked, "I'm from another timeline." Ash replied, "Where, exactly?" Princess Celestia asked, "Six hundred years from the future." Ash replied, "No wonder why yer clothin' is extremely different from the others." Applejack said, "Yes, I was wondering about that, too." Rarity replied, "The clothes make him look like a donkey." Blackadder said, the ponies look at him with surprise, Ash just glared at him, "Sorry, Ash, a donkey is..." Baldrick said, "I know what it is, in my timeline, we call the animal an ass." Ash replied, Rarity exclaimed with shock while the ponies look at him with mouths agape, "Hey! That's mean!" Pinkie Pie said, "I agree, that doesn't sound nice." King Thorax replied, "I think it sounds pretty funny." Grampa Gruff said, "Yeah, I think so, too." Princess Ember replied while restraining her laughter, "Ash, two of the citizens at the town us six stay at are donkeys, that is very offensive." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, that's their problem." Ash replied, "Anyway, does anyone else have an idea on how to fight back the deadites?" Tom asked, "Come on, guys, this is the middle ages don't you guys have a torture chamber?" Ash asked, "Well, yes, but I only use it when necessary." Volvox replied, "Well, use it, it'll help us a lot against the deadites." Ash said, "Does anyone know where this book would be?" General Seaspray asked, "Yes, let's find the book instead, I don't want to torture possessed people." Princess Skystar said, "Well, my best guess would be is the ghouls have it." Ash replied, "No, we don't read." Chief Isbar said, "What about you elves and fairies?" Ash asked, "Nope." Elder Lazlo replied, "We don't have books on dark magic." Counselor Melvin said, "I hope Romeo and Juliet don't turn into deadites." Oberon said, "Say, Ash, what do you know about the romance between Romeo and Juliet?" Titania asked, "I know how that story ends." Ash replied while smirking, Volvox and Dommiel laugh, "Well, aside from that, we need you to find the book, Ash, and take out the deadites in this timeline so you don't have to fight them in your time." Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak said, "I can care less, all of you except for Volvox are dead in my time." Ash replied, "I'm still alive in your time, too, Ash." Dommiel said, "Enough talk, yak want action." Prince Rutherford said, "Yeah, I agree with the yak there, this meeting has gone on long enough, it's time for some action." Ash replied, "So, what if these deadites come to our land?" Sky Beak asked, "They'll be stuck that way until the incantation to seal them away is said." Ash replied, "But how do we protect ourselves against them before that?" Ocean Flow asked, "You'll just have to kill them." Ash replied, shocking the ponies and hippogriffs, "I am not taking the life of one of my subjects." Queen Novo said, "Then find a way to restrain them." Ash replied, "Uh, Ash, are the deadites just people?" Fluttershy asked, "No, animals, too." Ash replied, scaring Fluttershy, "Ash, I just remembered, I think the Book of the Dead might be where the goblins lived before the deadites got them." Tom said, "Ah, yes, I remember the goblins, highly intelligent, and practitioners of dark magic." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Wait, there are no witches?" Ash asked, "We already killed all of them, they're the ones who brought the deadites here in the first place." Volvox replied, "Maybe Ash is a witch, a female disguised as a male." Blackadder said, everybody except Percy and Baldrick glared at him, "Macbeth!" Ash said, lightning come down from the sky, through the ceiling, and shocked Blackadder, he screamed as he got electrocuted, Ash laughed, "It really does work!" Ash said while smiling, the ponies look at him with disapproval, "What did you just do?" Princess Luna asked, "He said a word that's supposed to bring someone bad luck." Dommiel replied, "Dude, that is not cool." Rainbow Dash said, "Yeah, we want to bring good luck, not bad luck." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, I guess it's decided, the deadites are about to reemerge again, let's get ready, dismissed, this meeting has gone on long enough." Volvox said, the others agreed and everyone went outside. Princess Luna flew to the Dragon Lands and went to speak with Dragon Lord Torch, "Excuse me, I would like learn how to use the Thu'um." Princess Luna said, "I'm sorry, Luna, but we don't know how to teach it to other creatures." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Then how did that one human learn it?" Princess Luna asked, "I don't know, they must've found out after us dragons left and came here." Dragon Lord Torch replied, Princess Luna was a bit surprised, "Plus, don't you have the Royal Canterlot Voice?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "I like the Thu'um better." Princess Luna replied, "Well, I'm sorry, but I don't know how to teach it, dragons are just naturally born with it." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Oh, so you can't teach it?" Princess Luna asked, "I don't know how to." Dragon Lord Torch replied, Princess Luna was very disappointed and flew away with her head down. Ash was training the people on the continent on how to defend themselves, and how to fight the deadites, "Okay, everyone, first things first, these freaks are allergic to lead, like the one I use in my boomstick, and chainsaw is used for cutting their heads off, and if you want to be funny, you can mess with them, but be careful, these creatures are intelligent, and will try to fool you." Ash said, "Lies! I bet he is the deadite!" Percy said, "I agree, burn him at the stake for being a witch!" Blackadder replied, "Wait, come here, you two, I need you two for a demonstration really quickly." Ash said, and the two did, Discord then appeared, surprising everyone, "I like your wittiness, Ash, I wish to watch." Discord said, "Okay, everyone, I call this the Centaur." Ash said, and he grabbed Percy and placed his head against Blackadder's butt, Discord used his magic to insert Percy's head into Blackadder's posterior. The two screamed as they tried to walk around, the people on the continent laugh. The ponies watch them and looked at Ash with disapproval, unhappy that Ash was causing trouble, "I'll swallow your soul." a male distorted voice said, Ash looks and saw a male human has turned into a deadite, he runs to Ash while growling snarling. Ash turns his chainsaw on and begins to cut his neck, the deadite screams, he then aimed his shotgun at his head, "Swallow this." Ash said, and he shot him and blew his head up, the people on the continent cheer, "And that, people, is how you get the job done." Ash said, the ponies did not like his way of doing things, "Hey!" Pinkie Pie said as she suddenly appeared on the land, "No, it's not! There are other ways to solve problems." Pinkie Pie said, "Like how?" Ash asked, "Offering friendship." Pinkie Pie replied, another male deadite was coming to attack, "Hey, wait, I know you're stressed and angry, but take a deep breath, and let's talk things out." Pinkie Pie said, the deadite changed back to human and he began talking about his bad day and was crying, he calmed down after a few minutes, Pinkie Pie turned around, "See? Friendship works better." Pinkie Pie said, the male changed back to a deadite and bit Pinkie Pie, she screamed in pain. Ash aims his shotgun and shoots the deadite in the back, which made him fall, Ash quickly reloaded his shotgun and waited for the deadite to stand up, it did and he blew his head off. Pinkie Pie's five friends went to go check her bite wound, "Oh, my flank." Pinkie Pie said sadly, the bite mark was on the left side of her flank, "Since you guys don't kill, you're going to have to restrain her, she can change into one of them at anytime." Ash said, "You really should go look for that book now, I really don't want this spreading to our land." Twilight Sparkle replied, "It will with her bitten, you five will have to tie her down, and put something in her mouth so she doesn't bite." Ash said, "Uh, that's gonna be a problem, Pinkie Pie here can do things regular ponies can't." Applejack replied, "Actually, all of you do things regular ponies can't do." Ash said, "Well, we'll be taking her back now, and if possible, we'd like you guys to come to our land, I think we can all share a lot of things together." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they left while carrying Pinkie Pie. The ponies and hippogriffs begin developing relationships with the Medieval continent, they got along with all creatures except the orcs and trolls, who were mostly unfriendly, they were surprised to see the dragons, griffons, yaks, and changelings were already friends with all of them, even though they were neutral with the orcs and trolls. The one thing the ponies and hippogriffs demanded from the land, especially the humans, was to be clean, completely washed, and wearing new pairs of clothes before coming to their countries, because they were not in the mood to deal with how filthy they were when they appeared to the east of Equestria. Twilight Sparkle decided to expand the School of Friendship, she decided to make a deal with Volvox and have Agares, Samigina, Marbas, Paimon, Buer, Morax, Ronove, Forneus, Foras, Gaap, Furfur, Stolas, Phenex, Bifrons, Crocell, Furcas, Alloces, Murmur, Amy, Orias, Vapula, Andrealphus, Kimaris, and Dantalion teach at the school, they taught their respective subjects and Twilight Sparkle took note of everything they taught, even she learned some new things, some greatly surprised her. The students in the School of Friendship and from Cheerilee's class were very shocked by the knowledge of the demons, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, Silverstream, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and several other students received headaches from what the demons taught, it was too much for their brains to process. Spike was doing the Thu'um and Twilight Sparkle wrote down what he said and what each shout did, he snickered and decided to try one at Rarity, "Zul Mey Gut!" Spike said, "Hey, skeever butt!" a voice said, Rarity screamed with shock, "Who said that?!" Rarity asked, Rainbow Dash overheard the voice and laughed, Spike was laughing a bit as well, "Spike!" Twilight Sparkle said sternly, Spike laughed nervously, "Where are you?! Who called me that?!" Rarity asked angrily, "Nopony did, Rarity, it's just Spike practicin' his shouts." Applejack replied, "What? Spikey-wikey!" Rarity said, Twilight Sparkle sighed, "Continue, Spike, let's see what else you can do." Twilight Sparkle said, he was about to, until they heard a lot of noises in the castle, the Mane Six saw their pets freaking out from Spike's shouts, "Calm down, everyone, he won't harm you." Fluttershy said as she tried to calm them, "Kaan Drem Ov!" Spike said, his Thu'um calmed the animals, the Mane Six were in awe, "That... was... awesome!" Rainbow Dash said, "Yes, really, thank you, Spike, maybe that shout can help me back at the cottage." Fluttershy said, Spike smiled, "Hey, can I go free now?" Pinkie Pie asked, she was tied down with magic restraints by Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer and Sunset Shimmer watched her, "Sorry, Pinkie, but you can turn anytime, we have to keep you restrained." Twilight Sparkle replied, Pinkie Pie groaned with disappointment, "Well, Spike, go on and continue using the shouts." Twilight Sparkle said, "Ven Gaar Nos!" Spike said, a tornado appeared, "Get back, it's a twister!" Applejack said, and the tornado goes around the castle, Twilight Sparkle tries to dispel it with her magic before it destroys her books, she managed to with only a few minor damages, "There, let's take a break." Twilight Sparkle said, and they do. Baldrick led Ash to where the goblins lived before the deadites destroyed them, "I have a cunning plan to find the books." Baldrick said, "Well, alright, I'll go ahead and listen, since you're the only smart Baldrick." Ash replied, "There are three Books of the Dead, one sucks you in, one is a bat, and one is regular, I suggest you listen to the sounds they make, the one that sucks you in is loud, the one that is a bat breathes, and the normal one makes no sound. When you find the normal book, say the words Klaatu, Barada, and Nikto, and you should be back home." Baldrick said, "Thanks for the information, I'll be going now." Ash replied, and he rode the horse into the land. Ash keeps riding and there were deadites waiting for him, he cut them all up with his chainsaw and shot a few, his horse eventually ran away in fear. Ash keeps going and fights the deadites, there were many, and he kept fighting, he was soon low on bullets, so he cut the deadites apart, he headed to where the three books were at, Baldrick gave him the information before they rode. Ash arrived at the area where the goblins lived, everything was destroyed, he saw three Books of the Dead, he places his left ear against the first one and heard the sound of what sounded like a black hole, he goes up to the second book and listens to it, it breathes, he was startled and moved back when it tried to bite him, he listens to the third one and it made no noise, "Okay, here goes. Kl..." Ash said, he could not remember the first word, "Klutz, klick, klan..." Ash said, he decided to try the second word, "B..." Ash said, "Bermuda, Baron, Bar, Base. Ugh, I can't remember." Ash said, "N..." Ash said, "Nigeria, nickel, nimbler..." Ash said, he realized he cannot remember any of the three words, Ash cleared his throat, "Kl *coughcough* Ba*cough* N*sneeze*." Ash said, it was silent, but a storm came. Lightning strikes the down and the deadites appeared, most of them were skeletons. Ash grabbed the first book and the third book, he took one because he thought it could be used as a good prank. Ash began to run back, but skeleton hands came out of the ground and grabbed his feet, he feel and more skeleton hands came out, he noticed they only had three fingers and black claws, the one in front of him begins to poke him in the eyes. Ash slaps the hand away and blocks them, he laughs as he outsmarted the hand, it tries to poke him again, but Ash slaps the hand away, it then went around his wrist and poked him in the eyes, "Ow!" Ash said as the claws poked him, he began to try to break free, "Ohhhhhhh!!" Ash said with his mouth and eyes wide open, he felt a skeleton hand grabbing and squeezing his groin, Ash fights to break free and manages to after a few minutes. The skeletal hand continues grabbing and squeezing his groin, Ash grabs it and pulls it off, he throws it back, takes out his shotgun, and shoots the hand, he got up and ran back to Shadowstorm. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, hippogriffs, and kirins notice the thunder, they were wondering what was going on, one hits Twilight Sparkle's castle and lands on Pinkie Pie, her friends go to see her. Pinkie Pie breaks free from her restraints, she now had hard skin, sharp yellow teeth, and white monochromatic eyes, scaring her friends, "Pinkie has been reborn." Pinkie Pie said with her regular voice fused with a male distorted voice, scaring her friends, she ran out of the castle and to the continent while laughing. Volvox used telepathy to contact the Feudal continent that was to the east of the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone about the deadites coming, so they sent a ship over, it had a special sword on it, it arrived and Tom took it out, it was the Bishamon Sword, he held it in his right hand and went to King Arthur and King Allant, King Arthur had Excalibur, and King Allant had Northern Regalia, he fused his Soulbrandt and Demonbrandt together to create it, and Dommiel had Soul Edge in his left hand, and Soul Calibur in his right hand, "Okay, I think we're ready." Tom said, the others agreed. The sky keeps letting out lightning strikes and it hit other people, "Lok Vah Koor!" the dragons yelled to get rid of the thunder, Cloudsdale got destroyed in the process, the ponies to fall to the ground, but they flew to prevent hitting the ground. Deadite Pinkie teleported to the continent and was ready to wreak havoc, "Attention, all friends!" Deadite Pinkie said, and the deadites gathered around her, "We need to make friends and turn them to us, let's go and make us some new friends!" Deadite Pinkie said, the deadites cheer and go forward. Ash arrived back to Shadowstorm with the two books he took, he sees the deadites have already risen, he gave them to Tom and was ready to fight, "Alright, let's waste them." Ash said, "Uh, Ash, about that." Dommiel replied, and he points his right index finger, Ash looks and saw Pinkie Pie has turned, and was the leader, "Wow, I didn't think she'd be the leader." Ash said, "Who did you have in mind?" Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak asked, "The Lady of the Lake." Ash replied, "Oh, she turned before you came, we... had to put her down." Merlin said, "What about Abigail, Abigail Williams?" Ash asked, "She's not born yet." Lucifer replied, "Oh." Ash said, "Well, let's go, we've got deadites to fight." Volvox said, and they march to the deadites. Twilight Sparkle and her friends go to the Medieval continent and see Deadite Pinkie leading the monsters, "No, is Pinkie truly gone?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Twilight, remember what Ash said, we need to find the book and say the incantation to change her back to normal, but Ah believe, somewhere inside, Pinkie is fightin' to regain control of herself." Applejack replied; Pinkie Pie's soul was with the deadite spirit and playing around and having fun, "You wanna be friends?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Of course, we're going to be the best friends forever." the deadite spirit replied, "Yay! Best new friend ever!" Pinkie Pie said, and the deadite spirit continued controlling her body. Deadite Pinkie had humans, vampires, werewolves, elves, fairies, orcs, dwarfs, trolls, ghouls, goblins, incubi, succubi, giants, alps, and demons under her command, "Okay, everycreature, we attack now, we start making friends in Shadowstorm, give them your friendship and let them serve us!" Deadite Pinkie said, and they begin to march forward. Volvox and the people in his land began fighting the deadites, Tom used the Bishamon Sword to great effect, it killed most deadites immediately. The Northern Regalia destroyed almost all deadites in a few hits, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, and the Mane Six except for Pinkie Pie were extremely shocked to see how strong King Allant was, his sword let out energy waves that destroyed whatever it touched, King Allant also flew through the air, and caused explosions to happen when he stabbed the sword into the ground. King Allant also had his red dragon and his blue dragon eat the deadites, his blob monster order its hoplites throw spears at the deadites, his giant knight shoot some kind of blue energy beam out of his lance, and his other knight cut deadites apart with his sword, the ponies and hippogriffs become very shocked when they see King Allant use some kind of magic they have never seen before to create black phantom versions of his people, they were stronger and more aggressive than the regular people, Princess Celestia was extremely uneasy with his powers. Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak used the Thu'um to blow the deadites back, along with the dragons, he used his axe to fight back and held his own pretty well. Oberon, Titania, Counselor Melvin, Elder Lazlo, and the elves and fairies combine their magic to destroy the deadites, they mainly shot out yellow beams of light out of their hands, whoever got hit caught on fire. Chief Isbar commanded the ghouls to use necromancy and dark magic, their magic set deadites ablaze, along with tearing them into pieces, Giovi used his fire magic to burn them, and cut heads off with the knife blades for his claws. King Karstaag, King Flamma, and Regent Urub use their physical strength to destroy the deadites, so did the trolls, dwarfs, and orcs, they did well until going up against their own kind. Count Dracula and Chief Jason had the vampires and werewolves team up, the werewolves slaughtered whoever they fought, since a full moon was rising, they changed, while the vampires used what the knights had while they impaled them, some vampires tried drinking the deadites' blood, which made them turn into deadites, Count Dracula had them killed. Blackadder and Percy got themselves separated from the others, they saw the deadites overrunning their kingdom, "Blackadder, look, we have visitors!" Percy said, "Yes, I know, we are becoming the rulers of this land." Blackadder replied, "My lord, they're here to destroy us." Baldrick said, "Destroy? You mean as in to kill us?" Blackadder asked, "Yes, but I have a cunning plan to solve that." Baldrick replied, "What is it?" Percy asked, "If we cover ourselves in dung, we will be able to sneak past them without getting killed." Baldrick replied, "Dung? But dung is valuable." Percy said, "I know, but it's the only way." Baldrick replied, everyone in Blackadder's kingdom have already turned to deadites, "We have no choice, Percy, let's do it." Blackadder said, and they do, they walk past the deadites while they gag and cough from the smell of the dung on them, the three leave their kingdom unharmed. Dommiel used Soul Edge and Soul Calibur to destroy the deadites, Soul Edge absorbed their souls while Soul Calibur destroyed their bodies. King Arthur blinded the deadites with his sword by reflecting it off of the rising moon and setting sun, the deadites also attacked him, but King Arthur did not bleed due to him having the scabbard on his back. The Knights of the Round Table except for Sir Tristan fought the deadites directly, Sir Tristan stayed back and shot them down with his bow and arrow. The Knights Templar was fighting back and having trouble, so Lucifer, Satan, and Leviathan empowered them, Lucifer made them stronger due to them being proud of being a member of the Knights Templar, Leviathan made them stronger due to them being jealous of being human, and were the weakest kind of creatures in the land, and Satan made them stronger due to them getting angry over losing, he also gave them fire powers, they destroyed the deadites quickly and cheered. Mammon used his powers to control metal to cut the deadites apart, Asmodeus made the deadites fall in love with one another, the humans destroyed them while they were distracted, Belphegor made gravity stronger for the deadites so that they cannot stand up, he also drained them of their stamina to make them tired, and Beelzebub had his flies eat them apart, Shadowstorm and Boletaria were soon safe from deadites. Bael, Glasya-Labolas, Foras, and Balam made the people invisible to give them an advantage, Foras also tried to make the people invincible; Barbatos commanded the animals on the continent to attack the deadites; Vassago, Barbatos, Gusion, Eligos, Ipos, Glasya-Labolas, Berith, Balam, Orobas, Gremory, and Flauros acted as strategists since they already knew what the outcome of the battle was going to be; Malphas and Sabnock fortified the continent; Halphas gave the citizens weapons to fight back with; Seere and Vine killed whoever they wished; Haagenti instructed the men telepathically on how to kill the deadites; the seventy two demons of Solomon fought back as well, they did not lead their legions into battle out of fear of them bringing even more deadites. Volvox shoots fire breath out of his three mouths with Dragon Lord Torch by his side, the two combine their efforts to take out the deadites, Grampa Gruff led the griffons and they pick them up, off of the ground, and drop them, Prince Rutherford led the yaks by boat and arrived at the continent, they rammed the deadites, and wore armor to protect themselves from getting hurt or possessed by a deadite, King Thorax and Pharynx led the changelings, they change to creatures native to the continent to help the others fight back, Princess Ember led the dragons and they burned the deadites with their fire breaths, they also used several different Thu'ums to push back the deadites. Flying deadites began to appear in the sky, they attacked the flying creatures fighting back, Dragon Lord Torch let Ash ride on him and Ash shot down the flying deadites while Dragon Lord Torch breathed fire. The ponies, hippogriffs, and kirins go to the land and help everyone fight the deadites, the unicorns tried to use their magic to change the deadites back to normal, but they did not find one, nothing worked, the ponies did not like how the other creatures were just killing the deadites. Spike was knocked down while he fought the deadites, one was about to claw his throat out, "Spike!" Twilight Sparkle said with horror as he was about to lose his life, "Tiid Klo Ul!" Spike said, he slowed time down, so slow, time almost stopped completely, he ran away and time went back to normal speed after sixteen seconds, "Mid Vur Shaan!" Spike said, and his friends were sped up while fighting the deadites, Rainbow Dash became a blur as she punched the deadites down, it wore down after sometime. More deadites come out of the ground and there was too many, "Iiz Slen Nus!!" Spike and the other dragons said, they froze the deadites in place. Ash went over with his car, which he has changed into a weapon with propeller blades on the front, "Say hello to the twenty first century." Ash said as he rode the car and cut apart the deadites while laughing, the ponies were very shocked to see him destroying the deadites, he cuts one deadite and his right eye comes out and flies far. Deadite Pinkie was getting more deadites to rise, "Okay, everyone, let's spread joy and laughter throughout the land... by changing everyone into one of us and making them have the same sense of humor and fun as us!" Deadite Pinkie said, she laughed manically in the process, but the deadite's eye flies to her and goes into her mouth. Deadite Pinkie gags as she tries to get the eyeball out of her mouth, but she swallows it instead after a few seconds, "Before we spread laughter with slaughter, I have something to do." Deadite Pinkie said, and she disappeared. Merlin was about to say the incantation to send the deadites back, but he saw the Book of the Dead was gone, "No! It's gone!" Merlin said, he uses his magic to look for it and saw Deadite Pinkie somehow got a hold of it. Merlin ran outside to the others, "Everyone, the book was taken, that pink horse got it!" Merlin said, shocking everyone. A portal opens and a giant flying deadite came out, everyone was scared, it began attacking immediately. Everyone tried to attack it with whatever long range move they can think of, nothing worked, it destroyed the architecture and threw them at the people. Dragon Lord Torch flew to fight it, "Mul Qah Diiv!" Dragon Lord Torch said, and a brightly colored transparent suit of armor appeared on him, everyone looked at him with surprise, "Father." Princess Ember said with awe, Dragon Lord Torch wrestled with the creature, "Yol Toor Shul!" Dragon Lord Torch said, he did a fire breath, much bigger than before, he burned the deadite, but it endured it and flew up, it dropped Dragon Lord Torch onto a temple, everyone was worried, but Dragon Lord Torch flew back up. The deadite flew to him to attack him, its claws were exposed, "Faas Ru Maar!" Dragon Lord Torch said, the Thu'um did not work on the deadite, "Fuh Ro Dah!" Dragon Lord Torch said, it did not push the deadite back, it flew to Dragon Lord Torch and stabbed its claws into his shoulders, the ponies gasped, "Father!" Princess Ember said with worry, Volvox looks and uses telekinesis on the deadite to pull it out, he fires three fire breaths at the deadite, he burned it, but it still came. The changelings, griffons, and Pegasi flew up to help, roaring was heard in Transylvania, everyone saw gargoyles coming from the country, they went to go help Dragon Lord Torch as well, they distract the deadite while Dragon Lord Torch grabbed the deadite from behind and threw it down, it was about to get up, but Dommiel stabbed Soul Edge into its right hand and Soul Calibur into its left hand, the deadite screeched, "Yol Toor Shul!" Dragon Lord Torch said, and he let out a fire breath, Volvox combined his three fire breaths with Dragon Lord Torch's, the deadite screeched as it was obliterated. Everycreature except the ponies, changelings, hippogriffs, and kirins cheered, the four creatures were not happy with what they saw, "Guys, there's nothing to be happy about." Twilight Sparkle said, "We won, that's all." Tom replied, "Let's go, straight for the commander." Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak said, and they go to where Deadite Pinkie was at, even though the ponies noticed Fluttershy was missing. Ash drives his car through Deadite Pinkie's deadites and sees her up ahead, she had the Book of the Dead with her, he was about to drive to her, but his car suddenly broke down, "Huh? What the?" Ash asked, as he tried to turn the car back on, he realized everything was working fine, "Come on, not now." Ash said, he became startled when he saw Deadite Pinkie in the passenger seat, "My turn to drive." Deadite Pinkie said, "Oh no, this is for me only." Ash replied, "Oh, come on now, sharing is caring, and more fun together!" Deadite Pinkie said, and she grabbed the steering wheel, the car began driving again, Deadite Pinkie drove the car while laughing manically. Ash tried to wrestle the steering wheel back from her, but she was gone, Ash looks and saw a wall up ahead, the car crashes and Ash flew out of the windshield, through the propellers, and over the wall, Ash screamed in the process. Ash fell on the ground and he looks around while he hears Deadite Pinkie's laugh echo, she appears in front of Ash and pokes his nose with her front right hoof, he exclaimed with surprise and saw Deadite Pinkie was gone, "My tail is twitching, stuff are about to fall." Deadite Pinkie said, Ash heard her on a roof and he saw pieces of roof made out of rock falling down, Ash moved back to dodge them, "Uh-oh, my nose is itching." Deadite Pinkie said, Ash hears her to his right and aims his shotgun, he saw a swarm of bees coming, Ash ran away and saw water up ahead, he went in it, "I got achy stomach." Deadite Pinkie said, Ash saw an alligator coming to eat him, he screamed and went back up to the surface, "You son of a..." Ash said, he hears a cannon go off and it misses him, he looks to his left and saw Deadite Pinkie on a cannon, she laughed as well, "Say hello to my party cannon!" Deadite Pinkie said, and shot a skull and bones at Ash, it missed however, Ash was bewildered by Deadite Pinkie's powers, he was about to shoot her but something attacked her, Deadite Pinkie screamed, Ash looks and was shocked, he saw Fluttershy has changed to Flutterbat. Deadite Pinkie and Flutterbat fight one another, Ash ran to look for Book of the Dead, he sees it and goes to it, he got it and saw Deadite Pinkie and Flutterbat fighting, Deadite Pinkie appeared and disappeared while Flutterbat flew around and managed to tackle Deadite Pinkie down, "No! That's mine! Nooooooo!" Deadite Pinkie said while Flutterbat held her down, Ash left with the book. Ash continues to head back but Deadite Pinkie appeared on his back and knocked him down, "That book is mine, I need it to bake cupcakes!" Deadite Pinkie said, a demon possessed Ash at that time, he got back up and turned to Evil Ash, Deadite Pinkie screamed with surprise. Evil Ash and Flutterbat stood together and were ready to fight Deadite Pinkie, "Now this is fun!" Deadite Pinkie said, and she teleports around, the two look for her, she appeared in front of them with her cannon again, she shot it, Evil Ash grabbed the skull and threw it at her, she screamed as she flew back, she stood up and ran to them at extreme speed, she was a blur. Flutterbat tried to stop her but Deadite Pinkie charged through her and headed towards Evil Ash, she knocked him down and Evil Ash grunted, Deadite Pinkie began stomping her hooves on Evil Ash's abdomen, he grunted in pain, Deadite Pinkie sang a song while stomped on his abdomen. Flutterbat flew up and tackled Deadite Pinkie, she grabbed her with her mouth and threw her to Evil Ash when he stood up, he grabbed Deadite Pinkie and threw her through the air, Deadite Pinkie screamed until she hit her head on a pillar, it broke part of the pillar, she groaned and stood up. Deadite Pinkie teleported back and was ready to fight back, she somehow dashes forward and flies through the air, Evil Ash shot her with the shotgun a few times, but it only pushed her back and had no effect, she spat out a bullet and it flew back to Evil Ash at the same speed it was shot by the shotgun, Evil Ash dodged it, Deadite Pinkie spat out the second bullet, it also flew back at the same speed as the shotgun that shot it, Evil Ash watched her carefully while Deadite Pinkie laughed. Flutterbat tackled Deadite Pinkie down from behind, Evil Ash poked her eyes and Deadite Pinkie screamed, "Hey!" Deadite Pinkie said, Evil Ash then picked her up as Flutterbat lifted her up, he threw her again, Deadite Pinkie screamed as she flew through the air again, she hit her head on a house's door, breaking part of it on impact, Deadite Pinkie fell and was unconscious. Ash and Fluttershy changed back to normal, the spirit left Ash's body while Fluttershy changed back since the sun was rising, "Groovy." Ash said as he saw Deadite Pinkie was unconscious, "Are you alright, Mr. Ash?" Fluttershy asked, "Yeah, I'm fine, thanks." Ash replied, "You're welcome." Fluttershy said, "Well, come on, let's bring her and the book back." Ash replied, and they went. The deadites were mostly gone due to Discord appearing, he used the Thu'um to blow them back and freeze them, everybody except Spike was very shocked that Discord could use the Thu'um. Ash and Fluttershy came back, Twilight Sparkle and her friends ran to them, "Where were you, Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Taking care of the animals." Fluttershy replied, "Oh, so that's where you were, the squirrels from my land say hi." Autumn Blaze said, "Why, thank you." Fluttershy replied, Autumn Blaze smiled. Princess Celestia walked to Deadite Pinkie and saw she was unconscious with a cut on her head, "What did you do to her?" Princess Celestia asked, "Well, she wouldn't go down without a fight, so things got a bit rough." Ash replied, "Quick, Ash, bring me the book so I can send the deadites away." Merlin said, and he does. Merlin was in a room with Deadite Pinkie tied to a pillar, her friends, the rulers of Equestria, Sunburst, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Ash were in the room with him, everyone else was outside and guarding the place from the deadites. Merlin opens the book and finds the incantation needed to send them away, he says the incantation in Latin, the ponies did not understand him, Twilight Sparkle wanted to take a look at the book after he was done, he keeps speaking in Latin and the deadites were sealed away. The deadite spirit in Pinkie Pie remained, "What's going on?" Rainbow Dash asked, "The spirit in her is stronger than an average deadite spirit, I'm going to have to say a different incantation." Merlin replied, and he flips through the pages and finds one, he says it in Latin. Pinkie Pie was fighting to regain control of her body, "No! What you did was very bad, that was not fun!" Pinkie Pie said angrily, "But I thought we were best friends forever." the deadite spirit replied, "No! What you did was very bad, and you made me do them, I want you out!" Pinkie Pie said angrily, the deadite spirit laughed at her for trying to get him out by just talking, but he felt himself being removed shortly afterwards, he screams and the deadite in Pinkie Pie was exorcised. Pinkie Pie was back to normal in real life, it greatly surprised her, and Pinkie Pie wet herself, surprising everyone while Rarity let out an exclaim of shock, "Yup, we've all been there." Ash said, the ponies glare at him, "You don't need to mention it." Princess Celestia replied, Pinkie Pie groaned, "Pinkie?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Good morning, everypony." Pinkie Pie said happily, she then began to ramble on about what happened while she was a deadite, Ash simply left. Everybody was outside and cheering, they saw Blackadder, Baldrick, and Percy arrive, covered in dung, "Where were you guys?" Volvox asked, "We blended in and covered ourselves with dung to survive." Baldrick replied, the ponies, hippogriffs, and kirins gag at the stench, "Hey, Baldrick, those three words that were supposed to take me back home actually summoned them." Ash said, "What? Really? I'm sure those words would send you back." Baldrick replied, "Well, it didn't, you gave me the wrong words." Ash said, "No." Princess Celestia said as she walked to him, she says "I think what actually happened is you forgot the words, and said the wrong ones, and that's what summoned them.", "You weren't there to see it happen." Ash replied, "No, but I can imagine you got it wrong, your facial expressions and body language tell me you're lying." Princess Celestia said, "Can you say the three words out loud, Ash?" Baldrick asked, Ash forgot for a second but then remembered, "Klaatu, Barada, Nikto." Ash said, "Oh, you do remember the words, maybe I did get them wrong." Baldrick replied, "Yeah, I don't blame you, it looks like the stupidity your descendants are known for is starting to show." Ash said, "Wait, we won, I'm king!" Blackadder said, "Yes, the throne's right here." Tom replied, and he pointed Blackadder to an iron throne, he sat in it, but then screamed as he felt his butt get burned by the fire under it, the natives to the continent, dragons, and griffons laugh, the other creatures look at them with shock, "Well, we won, what do you guys want to do?" Volvox asked, "A feast!" Percy replied, the others agreed, and they have a feast. Rarity was appalled was the manners of the people native to the continent, they made loud noises while eating, threw food across the table, ate everything by hand, ripped them apart by hand, chewed with their mouths open, and talked with their mouths full, "Ugh, what atrocious manners." Rarity said, she hears similar noise nearby and saw Applejack ate the same way, so did Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle did not pay attention, but Spike ate the same way as the people on the continent did, so did Princess Ember and the other dragons, along with the griffons, Princess Celestia could barely restrain her laughter and desire to do the same thing, while Princess Luna had the same bad manners, Rarity lost her appetite when she saw the casu marzu and the haggis, the feast ended at the end of the day. Pinkie Pie was taken to Sugarcube Corner and being treated, "Oh, my head." Pinkie Pie said as she covered the wound on her head with her front right hoof, "It's alright, Pinkie, I've got a spell to heal it." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she used it, "I can't believe I ate an eyeball, yuck." Pinkie Pie said, "You what?!" Rarity asked with shock, "When I wasn't myself, an eyeball flew into my mouth when I was talking and got stuck." Pinkie Pie replied, Twilight Sparkle glared, "I think I know where that came from." Twilight Sparkle said, they hear a sound at the entrance and saw Sunburst with Spike, "What? You have to weaken my powers?" Spike asked, "Sorry, Spike, but your Thu'um is too powerful for Equestria, we have to limit it." Sunburst replied, Spike groaned with disappointment, "Don't worry, though, I set the spell to only limit your Thu'um powers in Equestria, if you travel out of Equestria, your powers will be back at full." Sunburst said, which made Spike smile, Sunburst left and Spike went to his six friends to see how Pinkie Pie was doing. A few days pass and Twilight Sparkle asked to borrow the Book of the Dead, so Ash gave it to her, she wanted to show it to the School of Friendship. Ash walked around Ponyville and saw the Young Six building a shed with Applejack and Rainbow Dash teaching them, "Macbeth!" Ash said, and the six students scream as the things broke, their safety equipment got damaged, and the shed fell apart, Ash laughed while the eight look at the broken shed with shock, "Pinkie!" Pinkie Pie said from behind Ash, and everything restored itself, Ash becomes shocked and turns around to see Pinkie Pie, fully healed and normal, she hopped away while Ash was shocked she can undo the Macbeth word. Two days pass and Twilight Sparkle was going to show the School of Friendship the Book of the Dead that Ash gave her, "Okay, everycreature, as you all may have seen, there are some magic that we still don't know of, and in some areas, magic is different from what we have, this book is an example, I'm going to open it and show you all what it looks like, but keep in mind that this is also my first time seeing the inside of the book, so I have taken a few precautions, here we go." Twilight Sparkle said, and she opens it, the wind blows and there was a hole in the book, Twilight Sparkle fights back as her front hooves get stretched out, surprising her students, Twilight Sparkle got sucked into the book and screamed as she fell, her students gasped and Twilight Sparkle soon went into the book completely and it closed itself. The students watch with anticipation and Twilight Sparkle came out of the book and closed it, the students laugh, Twilight Sparkle wondered what they were laughing about until she looked down and was shocked to see her face has been stretched down by the book, her mouth was open, and her snout was long, she tries to speak but can only do grunts, she did not have a spell to fix it. Twilight Sparkle went to go see Merlin and let out angry grunts about the book, and demanded to speak with Ash, "I'm sorry, but he got sent back to his time yesterday." Merlin said, Twilight Sparkle let out angry grunts while moving her hooves around like she was throwing a tantrum, "Hold on, I think I can fix this." Merlin said, and he uses his magic to fix her face, "Thank you." Twilight Sparkle said, "You're welcome, Ash must've gave you the wrong book, I'll go get the one I have." Merlin replied, and he gives it to her, she went back to the school, "Now that's out of the way, let's see what this book looks like." Twilight Sparkle said, and she showed the students, everycreature was clueless, "What the? I can't read this." Twilight Sparkle said as she looked at the language, "Ooh, ooh, do you have a spell for us to understand it?" Silverstream asked, "No, I don't." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she just looked at it, she called Princess Celestia and Star Swirl the Bearded to take a look at the book, they had no clue on what it said, so Merlin was called to translate it, the creatures of the world were very uncomfortable with what the book had written and drawn in it. Three days pass and the ponies mainly had relationships with Camelot, Princess Celestia got along greatly with Merlin as he shared his magic with them, she took note of it and used it to develop new spells while Princess Luna was shouting with her Royal Canterlot Voice in hopes of teaching herself the Thu'um. While Princess Celestia did not have a problem with Windhelm, Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak slouching in his throne annoyed her to no end. Discord was bored and floated up in the sky, he had an idea from the dragons and Ash, "Macbeth!" Discord shouted in the form of a Thu'um, every country got destroyed and spells went wrong, everycreature screamed as destruction hit the entire land, "Discord!" Twilight Sparkle said sternly, Discord chuckled, "I think I'm going to enjoy this." Discord said, as he looked at the chaos all around the land. The next day comes and Volvox was ready to leave, "Well, guys, it's time for me to go." Volvox said, "That's a shame, we were hoping you would stay." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Sorry, Torch, but I have responsibilities back at home." Volvox said, "Can we stay in touch?" Grampa Gruff asked, "Of course, I can establish telepathic communication with you all." Volvox replied, "Yaks will always remember Emperor Volvox." Prince Rutherford said, "So will the changelings, you saved us from extinction from the deadites." King Thorax said, Volvox smiled, "Wait, don't go over there!" Tom said, they look and saw the Mane Six in their hot air balloon, they were going to the Feudal continent, much to their shocks. The continent begins shooting arrows at them and they scream while Volvox uses his telekinesis to pull them back, he put them down, "Don't go over there, that land is off limits to all foreigners, they will kill anyone who tries to enter." Tom said, "But we saw a boat come from there before." Twilight Sparkle replied, "That was only for trade, this land and that land only trade in weapons." Dommiel said, "Weapons?!" Rarity asked, "Yeah, our main trader from that land only wants our weapons." Volvox replied, shocking the ponies, "All of you should leave, we're about to go back." Lucifer said, "I'd like to have the telepathic communication as well." Twilight Sparkle replied, Volvox simply gave everycreature in the world telepathic communication to them, they left, "Alright, let's go." Volvox said, and everyone said bye while Volvox and the ruler of the Feudal continent use their magic to go back to their home world while they all said bye to them. Humans developed faster and better hygiene than expected due to the ponies giving them better hygiene and clothing, along with new types of magic. Merlin stayed in touch with the ponies and taught them what he knew, he and Star Swirl the Bearded got along greatly, they became close friends, the two make new magic and spells together and share them with the ponies and the humans. The Book of the Dead got lost for a few centuries later until one of Blackadder's descendants found it, and he and his family would use it throughout history to wreak havoc. Wild WestVolvox lived with the humans for a long time and watched them evolve, he was now living in the wild west, where cowboys were everywhere, the land was once divided into two, north and south, the war was already over, Volvox was on neither side during the war, he just lived his own life and watched the humans. Volvox did not just have a cowboy at where he was at, there was a tribe of Native Americans near by, Volvox was on good terms with them, and in front of his home was a tribe of ghouls, who was brought to their current area of living against their wills to be slaves after their home was destroyed, their home was on another continent. Volvox was living inside a wooden house, on a farm, they had cattle, living inside was Dommiel, who did various tasks, and Tom, who had a mysterious past, he retired and decided to be a farmer, he took care of the farm. A ghoul named Giovi would come by as well, he had knife blades for his claws, he and Volvox were good friends, a human lived among the ghouls, his name was Daniel Lamprey, he helped the ghouls get to where they were at, he was a sergeant when he and his unit went to the homeland of the ghouls, he still wore his old uniform, it was a light green long-sleeve shirt tucked into light green pants, a military green belt with a gray buckle, his pants legs were tucked into black mid-calf length combat boots, and he wore black leather gloves, he also wore a light green peaked cap that had a black visor, he attended to the ghouls to make sure they were alright. The people did not live peacefully, they all had problems, Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom had to deal with a man named Robert Coates, a man who wanted them to demolish the farm and sell their cattle to the poultry and glue factory so he can build a city in place of the farm, the Native Americans had to deal with a businessman named Richard Morbucks, he wanted to drive the Native Americans out of the area so he can sell their land to the government, and expand his oil business onto their land, which would destroy their home as they drilled for oil, and the ghouls and Daniel had to deal with Colonel Mortimer, Daniel's former commanding officer, he, Daniel, and other soldiers were going to another country to do trade, and had to pass the ghouls' home to get there, but Mortimer saw the ghouls as savages and uneducated, and ordered Daniel and the other soldiers to kill and enslave them, Daniel and several other soldiers serving under him rebelled and helped the ghouls protect their land since killing and enslaving them were not their orders, and they were against it, those who rebelled with Daniel were out and looking for ghouls to free and bring to safety. This was not the first time they had problems, when Tom originally moved into the farm and met Volvox and Dommiel, they were hesitant at first, but they got along well after a few weeks, the Native American tribe were hostile to them at first as well, because they were trespassing on their land, and Daniel and the ghouls originally did not get along with the others, and had to plead with the others to let him and the ghouls stay. Everyone there got along when they began to get haunted by the Bell Witch, all of them were attacked and hurt, that was when Volvox and Dommiel became friends with Giovi, all of them worked together to destroy the haunting, and that was when they all became friends. Tom ran the farm while Volvox and Dommiel watched for any ghouls coming, they had a flag with a symbol on it to let them know that the area they are at is safe, and that they will protect them from Mortimer's men, some ghouls died along the way, their gravestones were everywhere on the path that led to the farm, the town was just east of the farm, it was being taken down and replaced with big cities, which made Tom sad, and to the north of the town was the desert, where all of the cacti and wild animals were at, Volvox did not like the desert, he thought the landscape and view was ugly, it was nothing but sand, green cacti and plants, and a dull orange color everywhere, he did not like the view the slightest. Volvox, Dommiel, Giovi, and the ghouls were using their magic in hopes of finding the ghouls' home continent and rescue the others before Mortimer has his soldiers enslave and kill them all, "Why can't we get 'em Indians to help us?" Tom asked, "Tom, again, they're not Indians, and they don't have any mystic powers or magic." Volvox replied, "We always said them Indians had magical powers back in the war." Tom said, "That's just propaganda, Tom, they're regular humans, just like you." Dommiel replied, "Okay, here goes nothing." Volvox said, and the magic spell was cast to try to bring them to the ghouls' home continent. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs were minding their own business until they feel a surge of magic, to the northeast of Canterlot and southeast of the Crystal Empire. Everycreature feels it and they watch, the land appeared and it was mostly grass, they see a fence and a gate that had cattle in it to the south of the house, there was corn growing to the west of the house, there were hills to the north of the house, and two paths to the east, the eastern path led to a town, and the southeastern path led into a valley. Everycreature saw Daniel and the ghouls came back, surprising the creatures native to the world, Tom soon came out of the house and looks around, "Uh, guys, y'all might wanna see this." Tom said, and they hear running, they look and saw Native Americans come out from the north, they were on horseback and had rifles with them, Princess Celestia was surprised to see their markings, piercings, tattoos, and symbols of their culture, "No, this isn't it, we're at the wrong continent." Daniel said, surprising the ponies, Dommiel used his shadow powers to make himself fly out of the house's roof, he had black wings on his arms, the creatures were shocked to see him, Volvox came out of the house shortly afterwards, everycreature was shocked by how big he was, "Wait a minute, I think we're in the wrong world altogether." Volvox said as he looked around, his booming voice scared everyone, "Well, hurry, we have to go back." Daniel said, "The spell is going to take some time to fix, we'll be stuck here for sometime." Dommiel replied, Daniel sighed, "Well, let's just get on with our days while we work to fix this." Volvox said, and they all got on with their days. The Mane Six arrived to Canterlot by train and walked to the new area since it was actually pretty close, the ghouls spot them and point them out to Daniel, "Guys, we got visitors." Daniel said, and Tom walked out of the farm and went to go see them, "Hi, I'm Twilight Sparkle, a princess from the country to the west of here, these five are my friends, we're here to give you guys greetings from Equestria." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, hello, we're a bit too busy right now to go explorin'." Tom replied, "I must say, your outfit is a bit strange." Rarity said, Tom was wearing a long-sleeve pale blue shirt, over his shirt was a button-up sheepskin vest, black jeans with a brown leather belt and a big gold buckle, another brown leather belt with a gold buckle that had his gun's holster on his right side, he had a revolver in the holster, and bullets on the belt, he also wore tan boots with spurs, and he had on a brown hat with a black telescope crown on his head, he had a stubble as well, "I wear this everywhere I go." Tom replied, Rarity smiled a bit, "Y'all look tired and thirsty, would y'all like to bend an elbow?" Tom asked, confusing the ponies except for Applejack, "Twilight, Ah'll do the talkin', he speaks mah language." Applejack said, and she walked forward, "Nah, it's alright, we already bent an elbow, we already had meals, too." Applejack said, "I see, name's Tom by the way." Tom replied, "Ah'm Applejack." Applejack said, Tom was almost laughing, "Is somethin' funny?" Applejack asked, "Sorry, but I can't help but notice that you're named after a type of cider brandy." Tom replied, "Wow, yer actually the first person to ever notice that." Applejack said, Tom chuckled, "I'll be going now, I have cattle to attend to." Tom said, and he walked to them, he checked them to see if they were healthy and milked them, the six went to go see Daniel, "Why, hello, you look really nice in that outfit." Rarity said, "It's my old military uniform." Daniel replied, "We bring greetings from Equestria." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, thanks, but I've got a very important job to do." Daniel replied, "What is it?" Fluttershy asked, "See these ghouls here? I've been watching over them, their original home was destroyed, so they came here with me." Daniel replied, "What happened to their home?" Rainbow Dash asked, "It got destroyed." Daniel replied, "How?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Other soldiers in the unit I served began enslaving and killing them." Daniel replied, shocking the six mares, "Well, that's really nice of you to do, we'll offer help if you need it." Twilight Sparkle said, "Thank you, I need all the help I can get." Daniel replied, "Well, we'll be going now." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go over to the tribe of ghouls, Giovi was among them, the ghouls got defensive, "Hey, it's okay, they're friendly, they're just here to say hi." Daniel said, and the ghouls look at the six, "Hey, that's kind of creepy." Pinkie Pie said, "They don't talk, they're a quiet bunch." Daniel replied, and the ghouls keep looking, "Uh, hi, I'm Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship from Equestira." Twilight Sparkle said nervously, the ghouls kept looking at her, they did not glare nor were curious, they just looked at the six mares with neutral expressions, "Well, aren't you guys going to say anything?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No, they don't speak, they're a silent tribe." Daniel replied, "Oh, well, let's go see the two in the house." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go to the house. The six mares go and the door opens, Dommiel walks out, "Uh, what are you?" Rarity asked, "A demon." Dommiel replied, "A demon? Where are you from?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The underworld." Dommiel replied, "Wait, you're from Tartarus?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "No, just the underworld in general." Dommiel replied, "So, uh, what exactly do ya do?" Applejack asked, "I just help Tom on the farm, and help Daniel defend the ghouls." Dommiel replied, "What's your name?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Dommiel." Dommiel replied, "So, uh, what were you before you came out here?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Many years ago, Volvox ruled the entire world of the humans and other creatures, I was his second-in-command and personal bodyguard, along with being his most loyal servant, but as the humans and mortals grew more and more in power and authority, the rule of Volvox and us demons, along with angels, began to diminish, we're pretty much powerless now." Dommiel replied, surprising the mares, "So, who is this Volvox guy?" Rainbow Dash asked, Volvox bursts out of the house and stood up on his four legs, shocking the six mares, "That's me." Volvox said, Fluttershy hid behind her friends in fear, "Uh, what were you back then?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The supreme ruler of the world we're from, but now, I no longer really have any power or authority, so I just spend my days here with Dommiel and we help Tom and Daniel, those ghouls there used to serve under me many years ago as well, me being here makes them feel safe, some people still worship me, though." Volvox replied, "But you don't have any actual authority or power?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No anymore, thousands of years ago, I had supreme authority." Volvox replied, "Do ya miss havin' power?" Applejack asked, "Not really, it's nice to retire after ruling over mortals for billions of years." Volvox replied, shocking the mares, "How old are you?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "Fourteen billion nine hundred ninety nine million nine hundred ninety nine thousand eight hundred eighty two." Volvox replied, the other world's creatures overheard him as well, Princess Celestia was extremely shocked, she was a kid when compared to him, "Is there anything else to know about you?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Volvox thinks for a minute, "No, that's pretty much it." Volvox replied, "Okay, now to those people in the hills." Twilight Sparkle said, "Wait, y'all can't go there." Tom replied, "Why not?" Rarity asked, "They don't like outsiders on their land." Tom replied, "What will happen if we do go there?" Rainbow Dash asked, "At best, kidnapped and held captive, at worst, killed." Dommiel replied, shocking the mares, "Can we at least get to see the tribe's chief?" Applejack asked, "Nope, they still won't welcome you." Volvox replied, "Well, that's all we can do for now, we'll go to the town later." Twilight Sparkle said, and the six mares leave, the people get on with their days while the ponies watch them. The people get on with their days until they hear dragging in the desert to the north, everybody got defensive, Volvox comes out of the ground to look, he saw a man wearing a dark blue long coat, a brown scarf, gray mid-calf length boots, and a black hat, Volvox looks and saw what the dragging noise was, the man had a coffin with him, and was pulling it with him with rope tied around it. The man arrives and the ponies, dragons, and griffons see him, curious about why he had a coffin, Tom thinks he recognizes him, he goes to him and he did, "Django!" Tom said, Django goes to him, "What brings you here?" Tom asked, "Nothing in particular, I'm just wandering from one place to another." Django replied, "You know him, Tom?" Daniel asked, "He and I fought in the war together." Tom replied, the ponies become surprised to hear Tom was a war veteran, "I saved Tom's life once." Django said, he chuckled a bit, "Oh, I remember that day." Tom replied, "Did something happen?" Dommiel asked, "Django and I were ambushed by the south when I was crappin' on the ground, I had the backdoor trots that day, I was busy doin' my business and the southerns were guns ablazin', and Django had to hold them off while I crapped on the ground." Tom replied, Volvox, Dommiel, and Daniel laugh, "Whoo, that sure somethin' Ah don't want to happen to me." Applejack said, her five mare friends were still confused over what Tom was saying, "Well, I need a place to sleep, and I'd like something to eat." Django said, "Right this way, Django." Tom replied, and they entered the house. Django sat at the table while Tom cooked a crow in the pot, he made crow stew, he served it to Django and he began to eat. Knocking is heard at the door and Tom opened it, he saw the six mares again, "Oh, you six again." Tom said, "Can we come in?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Sure, right this way." Tom replied, and they enter, "Why, thank you, darling." Rarity said, "It's been a pleasure, lady." Tom replied, Rarity chuckled, they sat at the table, "So, let me get this straight, you're a war veteran?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Darn right I am, Django here and I fought together." Tom replied, "Say, Django, what's in that coffin of yers?" Applejack asked, "What's inside is my own business, I just carry it around with me." Django replied, "So, uh, what was this war?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Long before we came here, our land was divided into two, north and south, Django and I fought for the north, basically, the north fought to have them Indians up there and the ghouls be free from slavery, and the south wanted to keep it, and that's the basics, gettin' into full detail will probably make y'all buffaloed." Tom replied, "Those guys living in the hills are called Indians?" Rainbow Dash asked, "That's what the humans living here call them, the proper term for them is Native American." Dommiel replied, "Then why do they call them Indians for?" Rarity asked, "Because a bunch of travelers thought they were in a different country, and thought they were Indians, so the name stuck." Volvox replied, "Say, how have things been on the farm, Tom?" Django asked, "We have problems right now, rainin' season just passed, so all of 'em cattle will be fine for now, but a man named Richard Coates has been tryin' to sell my farm, livin' here's been all beer and skittles till he said he wanted to destroy my farm and build a city in place of it." Tom said, shocking the Mane Six, "Ah'm sorry to hear that, partner, but maybe y'all two can reach an agreement." Applejack said, "Not at the deal he has right now, we can't." Tom replied, "What is it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Not only does he wanna annex my farm, he wants send all of my cattle to the poultry so them city folk can eat 'em, and make glue out of their bones." Tom replied, Fluttershy exclaimed with horror, the other five ponies were shocked as well, "Why, that is a bad thing to do, we'll help however we can, darling." Rarity said, "Thank ya, y'all want some dynamite?" Tom asked, confusing the mares except for Applejack, "Sorry, but we don't drink that." Applejack replied, "How about old tom?" Tom asked, "We don't drink that, either." Applejack replied, "Then what do y'all drink?" Tom asked, "Cider made by Applejack's family." Rainbow Dash replied, "Oh, y'all make cider?" Tom asked, "We sell apples, too." Applejack replied, "Maybe we should give them a visit one day, Tom." Dommiel said, "I'll think about it." Tom replied, "Well, I'll be heading to bed now." Django said, "Alright, sleep tight, Django." Tom replied, and Django went to go sleep, "Y'all should head home, it's gettin' late." Tom said, "You're right, we should go, see you guys next time." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the six mares left, "I'm gonna have a brain tablet and then head to bed." Tom said, "Alright, till morning, Tom." Volvox replied, and Tom went outside and smoked a cigar, he went back in and slept after he put the cigar out, Daniel and the ghouls slept, so did the Native Americans, Volvox and Dommiel just meditated until the next day came. The next days comes and Princess Luna had a regular time in the dream realm last night with no problems, Tom woke up early, so did Django, he was about to tend to the cattle, he headed out and saw Fluttershy checking on them, she fed them and checked if they were sick, he was surprised, but smiled when he saw she was helping, he went to go see her, "Have they been givin' ya any trouble?" Tom asked, "No, they're really nice and gentle." Fluttershy replied, "Well, thanks for checkin' on them, I need to get some cow juice now." Tom said, Fluttershy was uneasy until she saw him get a bucket, "Oh, you mean milk them, please, allow me." Fluttershy said, and she did, the cows were happy with her, Tom smiled as Fluttershy did the job, "Here you go." Fluttershy said, "Thank ya." Tom replied as he got ready to pay her, "No, it's fine, I see no value in money." Fluttershy said, "Oh." Tom replied as he put his dollar bills back in his pocket, "I have to go back to my cottage now, I have more animals to tend to." Fluttershy said, "Alright, good luck." Tom replied, and she got ready to leave, but they heard hooves from the east, they look and saw man on a brown horse, his long-sleeve shirt and pants were beige, his boots were black, his hat was a grayish color, and his gun belt was black with silver circles on it as decoration, each one had a different decoration on it, "Mind if I stay here?" the man asked, "Who are you?" Django asked, "Name's Shane." the man replied, "Where were ya goin'?" Tom asked, "Headin' north, nowhere in particular." Shane replied, "Well, you do look tired, go ahead and have a rest, any traveler is welcome here." Tom said, "Thanks, I'll be resting the horse here." Shane replied, and he did, "Wow, you're getting several visitors recently." Fluttershy said, "It happens every once in a while, I've had entire families stay at the farm before." Tom replied, "Really? Oh, that's wonderful, you're such a kind man." Fluttershy said, "I ain't the only one, we're all on hard times now, I've been helpin' mostly veterans." Tom replied, "Well, I'll be going now, I have pets to take care of." Fluttershy said, "Alright, good luck." Tom replied, and he headed to town. Daniel watched over the ghouls while Volvox and Dommiel looked for anymore who were looking for a safe place, "Howdy mister." Apple Bloom said behind Daniel, he turned around and faced her, "Can I interest ya in buyin' one of Granny's famous apple pies?" Apple Bloom asked, "You are?" Daniel asked, "Apple Bloom, Ah'm Applejack's sister." Apple Bloom replied, "Oh, I figured you two were related, you two speak the same way." Daniel said, Apple Bloom smiled, "Well, I don't really have any money right now, so I can't purchase." Daniel said, "Then how do ya make money?" Apple Bloom asked, "Tom goes to the town and does several jobs to make money." Daniel replied, "Like what?" Apple Bloom asked, "Poker, horse breaking, bronco riding, and hunting." Daniel replied, "Huntin'?" Apple Bloom asked, "You know, trading animal parts and fur for money." Daniel replied, "Oh." Apple Bloom said with discomfort in her voice, she then says "Well, Ah'll head to town to sell mah apple pies there." and she begins heading there, "Wait." Daniel said, Apple Bloom stopped and turned around, "Yes." Apple Bloom said, "Be careful in that town over there, some of the people are not friendly." Daniel replied, "Don't worry, Ah will." Apple Bloom said, and she headed to the town. Apple Bloom arrived at the town and saw it was mostly desert, she saw a saloon, an area to play poker, several men throwing horseshoes, a place to do bronco riding, a farm to break horses for riding, and an area to do target practice with guns. Apple Bloom walks forward and saw four men coming to her, "Look at that, an outsider." one man said, "Maybe the horse lost its way." another man replied, Apple Bloom turned around, "Howdy, Ah'm from that land over there to the west, Ah'm here to sell Granny's famous apple pies." Apple Bloom said, "Sure, like they say, there ain't no place like home." the third man said, the other three men laugh, and they all take the apple pies and eat them, they ate all of the apple pies and left the tins on the ground, "Hey, y'all need to pay for those." Apple Bloom said, "Our payer's over there, behind you." the fourth man replied as he pointed with his right index finger, Apple Bloom turned around and looked for the payer, "Huh? Where?" Apple Bloom asked as she looked around, the four men take their revolvers out and fire bullets right behind Apple Bloom's hind hoofs. Apple Bloom was startled and ran forward while screaming while the four men shot bullets at her, they all landed right behind her hoofs. Tom was outside and about to enter the saloon for a drink, he looks to his right and Apple Bloom running away in fear while the four men shot bullets at her hooves, Tom grabbed her and pulled her into the saloon, Apple Bloom screamed while the four men laughed at her. Tom held onto Apple Bloom while she quivered in fear, he noticed he left her wagon of apple pies outside, but ignored it for now and put Apple Bloom on a chair, the women who danced in the saloon walked to see Tom with Apple Bloom, the bartender watched as well, Tom then took the cigar out of his mouth, "It's alright, you're safe now." Tom said, and Apple Bloom calmed down, "What's your name?" Tom asked, "Apple Bloom." Apple Bloom replied, "What are ya doin' out here?" Tom asked, "Ah was hopin' I could sell some of mah granny's pies, but those four mean guys ate 'em all without payin'." Apple Bloom replied, "Well, I'll be, them folks on the owl hoot trails always doin' the works of the dickens." a female dancer said, "Wait, them folks are outlaws?" Apple Bloom asked, "Sure are, sweetie, they like raisin' peoples' bristles." another female dancer replied, "They are always raisin' sand, especially to newcomers, a lot of 'em ain't friendly." a third female dancer said, "Say, are ya Tom?" Apple Bloom asked, "How do ya know me?" Tom asked, "Ah'm Applejack's sister." Apple Bloom replied, "I thought your way of speaking was familiar." Tom said, Apple Bloom smiled, "Can ya check her for me and make sure she ain't hurt?" Tom asked the bartender, "What are ya goin' to do?" the bartender asked, "I'm gonna have a word with those four." Tom replied, and he put the cigar back in his mouth and exited the saloon. Tom walked to the four men who shot at Apple Bloom's hoofs, he saw the coffin maker, Tom looks at him and the coffin maker looked back at him, Tom took the cigar out of his mouth, "Get four coffins ready." Tom said, the coffin maker obliged, Tom walked to the four men, who were just standing around, "Look who it is, the man who fought for the north, we don't like your kind here." a man said, "Go get that small yellow talkin' horse of yours, unless you let her get away." another man said, "See, that's what I wanted to talk to y'all about." Tom replied, "Eh?" the first man asked, "That small horse, I know y'all were just jokin' around, but maybe if y'all apologize, I can convince her y'all didn't mean it." Tom replied, "And why would we do that?" the third man asked, "Because she doesn't understand y'all were just jokin' around, she doesn't get it since she ain't from around here, and if y'all were to apologize..." Tom replied, the four men laugh, Tom glares at them, "I don't think it's nice, you laughin'." Tom said, the four men stop laughing, "My friends don't like people laughin', they get the crazy idea y'all are laughin' at them, now if y'all apologize, like I know you're going to, I might be able to convince that yellow horse y'all didn't mean it." Tom said, one man spits on the ground and the four were about to take their revolvers out, but Tom quickly takes out his revolver and shoots and kills the four men. Tom spins his revolver and puts it back in his holster, he turns around and walks back to the saloon, he saw Apple Bloom outside with the other people who worked in the saloon, she was shocked by what she just saw, "Why'd ya do that for?" Apple Bloom asked, "There ain't no law in this town, and them city folk are comin' to change things, that's how things work in this town, you cause trouble, you get shot, the original sheriff died a long time ago." Tom replied, "Uh, that ain't how we do things back at mah home." Apple Bloom said, "What do y'all do?" Tom asked, "Forgive, and offer 'em our friendship." Apple Bloom replied, "Oh, you better be careful with that, some of them folk you try to befriend will make you end up puttin' your hand in the devil's hand." a female dancer said, "You should head home, young one, your family's probably worried about you." the bartender said, and Apple Bloom got her wagon and walked home, "She ain't hurt, is she?" Tom asked, "Nope, not a shot hit her." the bartender replied, much to Tom's relief, "I'll be going now, too, I have a farm to run." Tom said, and he left as well. Apple Bloom returned home and told her family what has happened in the town, "Wait a sec, did ya say Tom shot them folks?" Applejack asked, "Yeah, he said there ain't no law in the town, so the people take matters into their own hoofs, he said if you cause trouble, yer gonna get shot." Apple Bloom replied, shocking her family, "Apple Bloom, Applejack, Big Mac, we all go there together, if mah feelins' are right, then this town is gonna be just like Appleloosa when yer Granny was a young'un." Granny Smith said, "Appleloosa was like that too?" Apple Bloom asked, "Eeyup." Big Macintosh replied, "Ah didn't know either, Apple Bloom, this town might be dangerous." Applejack said, "Well, Ah'm glad them ruffians didn't hurt ya, it's a darn shame we couldn't sell anythin', though." Granny Smith said, "Well, Ah was thinking bout bringin' the students there, too, bring yer friends, Apple Bloom, and we'll can take Sugar Belle with us, we'll all meet the people there tomorrow." Applejack said, "Well, it's gettin' late, let's head to bed." Granny Smith replied, and they all slept. The next day comes and Tom milks the cattle early in the morning, they hear another horse to the east and look, they saw another man coming, he had on a white hat, a brown beard and moustache, and spat out chewing tobacco. Tom, Django, and Shane recognized him, he came to the farm and the three were ready to take out their revolvers and fire at him, the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs arrived at that time, "Relax, I don't fight in the war anymore." the man said, "You still fought for the south side." Tom replied, "I recognize you as well, you're a wanted outlaw now." Django said, "Yeah, I know that, but I ain't here to cause trouble." the man said, "Excuse me, who is this?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Josey Wales, he and I were enemies in the war." Tom replied, "Well, the war's over, and I sided with the south because the north burned my home, and killed my wife and son." Josey said, "Turn back, Josey, you ain't welcome here." Tom said, and he was ready to shoot him, Josey was ready to fire as well, "Wait, stop." Princess Celestia said as she walked between them, "I understand there was a war before you all came here, and there were two different sides, but the war is over, and people from opposing sides should stop fighting, and work together to help one another." Princess Celestia said, Tom, Django, and Shane were still ready to shoot at Josey, the Native Americans heard the commotion and rode their horses to the farm, they had their rifles with him, Daniel had his pistol drawn as well, Volvox and Dommiel watched, "Wait." the Native American chief said, he and his tribe rode their horses down, the others looked at him, "This man would not make peace with the Bluecoats, he may go in peace." the tribe's chief said, "That is why he should be shot down." Tom replied, "You sure about that, your Indian friends there sound like they sided with the south." Josey said, "Enough, guys, the war's over, there are no more sides." Twilight Sparkle said, they all look at her, "Let him come peacefully, everyone, he doesn't look like he's here to cause trouble." Princess Cadence said, Tom, Django, Shane, and Daniel lower their guns, "You're welcome for now." Tom said, "I'd reckon so." Josey replied, and he rode his horse forward. Another horse was heard from the east and they saw another man coming, he had scruffy black hair, a gray hat, two scars on his right cheek, a scar on his noise, scars around his right eyebrow, and a small scar to the left of his nose, he wore black gloves, a vest, a shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a regular belt, a gun belt with a revolver, jeans, boots, an bandolier with bullets on it, and a holster on his back that had a rifle on it, he also had a knife and a lasso on his belt. Tom, Django, Shane, and Josey all recognized him, they were all ready to fire at him, the man was ready to take out his revolver, "I thought y'all would be more welcoming." the man said, "Those who walked on the owl hoot trail ain't welcome here." Tom replied, "I don't live that life no more, I'm a rancher now." the man said, "Well, are you gonna pull your pistol or whistle Dixie?" Josey asked, "The only thing I'll be whistling is your swan song." the man replied, "Guys, stop." Sunburst said, "Hold on a sec, did y'all say this man's an outlaw?" Applejack asked, "Darn right, this man's a bank robber, and a killer." Tom replied, "Y'all fought in the war, y'all got blood on your hands as well." the man said, "Enough." Princess Celestia said as she used her telekinesis to make them lower their weapons, everybody took notice of it, "No fighting, we're all here to introduce ourselves, you'll start first." Princess Celestia said, "Alright, my name's John, John Marston, I'm looking for a man named Bill Williamson." the man replied, "Bill? What happened to serving under Dutch?" Dommiel asked, "You see, about that, Dutch went insane, pretty much everyone of my old gang is dead, the only ones left are Bill, Javier, Dutch, and myself." John replied, "Why do you want Bill for?" Volvox asked, "My family is held hostage by the government, they want my old gang members in exchange of letting them go." John replied, "Look at that, them city folk now takin' us hostage." Tom said, "Sorry, John, but Bill was never around here, we have posters of every outlaw that's been around here." Dommiel said, "Well, I'd like to see them, I might know one of 'em." John replied, and Dommiel got the wanted posters out, John looked at the pictures, he saw Josey Wales as one of them, he also saw One Eyed Snake, Leaping Clint, John Williamson, Short Nose Phil, Big Mouth Carter, Nigel Anderson, Billy Ballsack, Freebo Freddy, Black Eye Johnny, Theodore Walton, Bloody Bill, Redhead Ronny, Andrew Anderson, and Dingo Derek, "Nope, I don't recognize any of 'em." John said, "Well, you can stay on my farm for now, but cause any trouble, and I'll beat you all hollow." Tom said, "Whoa there, Tom! Ah think that's goin' a bit too far." Applejack said, "Eeyup." Big Macintosh said, "That seems to be everyone." Volvox said, "Okay, now we can finally introduce one another." Princess Luna said, and they do, the people there were Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Star Swirl the Bearded, Mistmane, Rockhoof, Somnambula, Flash Magnus, Mage Meadowbrook, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, Sky Beak, Ocean Flow, Terramar, General Seaspray, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunburst, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, Silverstream, Gilda, Gabby, Big Macintosh, Granny Smith, Sugar Belle, Igneous Rock Pie, Cloudy Quartz, Limestone Pie, Maud Pie, Marble Pie, Mudbriar, Cheese Sandwich, Cheerilee, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Filthy Rich, and ponies from Appleloosa, "Y'all dress like us." John said to the ponies from Appleloosa, "We'd like to see the town." a male pony from Appleloosa replied, "I used to wear a poncho just like that when I was younger." Tom said to Cheese Sandwich, "Really? I thought I was the only one who liked the design." Cheese Sandwich replied, "Say, do you guys have tales to say about the war?" Spike asked, "I'd rather not look back." Tom replied, "Yeah, I think a part in all of us died in that war." Josey said, "I wanna hear about it." Princess Ember replied, "Maybe another time, we had hundreds of battles." Django said, "How long did the war last?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Four years." Tom replied, "Was the war bad?" Fluttershy asked, "Yes, thousands of people died, a lot of them were people we befriended during the battle." Shane replied, "Wow, that must've been a tough time." Gilda said, "It was, most people who hang around me ain't around for long, whether they like or dislike me." Josey replied, "I didn't fight in the war, I was busy helping Dutch." John said, "I was in another continent during that time." Daniel said, "What did you do?" Sandbar asked, "I was in a war, too." Daniel replied, "You too?" Rarity asked, "It's been tough times for all of us, many are still bitter about the war." the Native American chief replied, "Well, maybe if you all put your differences aside, and helped one another, surviving would be easier." Princess Celestia said, "Well, we can't rest just yet, we still have problems to deal with." Daniel replied, "Like what?" Yona asked, "Them city folk wantin' to destroy my farm and kill my cattle." Tom replied, Fluttershy gasped at hearing it, "A wealthy businessman wants to drive us out of our home by selling our land to the city's government, so he can destroy our land while looking for oil." the Native American chief said, shocking the world's natives, "My former commanding officer is still out there, he's the one who ordered the genocide and enslavement of these ghouls here, I have to find him and stop him." Daniel said, horrifying the world's natives, Pinkie Pie and Princess Skystar gasped, "Where is he right now?" Princess Celestia asked, "We don't know." Volvox replied, "How did you guys all come to living together in peace?" Gallus asked, "Yeah, I'm wondering about that, too, you all look divided." Scootaloo said, "We had to face a common enemy." the Native American chief replied, "Who was it?" Sweetie Belle asked, "The Bell Witch." Daniel replied, "The Bell Witch?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Yeah, the Bell Witch haunted us till Volvox and Dommiel destroyed her." Tom replied, "People not befriend Bell Witch?" Yona asked, "Trust us, it wouldn't have worked, she had to be destroyed, I'm sorry, but it was the only way to stop her from hurting us." Volvox replied, "What did she do?" Fluttershy asked, "A lot, attack us, make inanimate objects move, make us paralyzed, mimic voices to trick us, make the sounds of dogs fighting to distract us, and tried to make us leave by using the voices of our parents to make them think they were worried about us, she was also able to appear in more than one location at the same time, we were all haunted." Dommiel replied, "You guys didn't forgive her?" Ocellus asked, "She didn't regret her actions." Daniel replied, "Oh, well, I'm certain you all didn't need to destroy her." Princess Luna said, "She would've continued to haunt us even more." Tom replied, "Oh." Princess Luna said, "You all are farmers?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "Nope, only I am." Tom replied, "What do the rest of you guys do?" Silverstream asked, "Nothing in particular, I just go to places, do work to get paid, and leave." Django replied, "I don't do anything either, I just go to random places." Shane said, "So do I, I ain't got nowhere to go." Josey said, the world's natives felt bad, "So you guys just wander from place to place?" Smolder asked, "Pretty much." Shane replied, "I did the same thing in my younger days." Tom said, "I've got places to go, I have to find my old gang and turn them in." John said, "Well, good luck with that." Shining Armor replied, "Can we go to the town over there?" Princess Skystar asked, "Of course, but be careful, them city folk tryin' to change our ways." Tom replied, "Well, let's go, and stick with me, y'all, Ah'll know how to handle people like 'em." Granny Smith said, and they all head to the town. The world's natives enter the town while Granny Smith leads them, the natives to the town aim their revolvers at them, "Hold yer horses, y'all, we're just from the neighboring countries." Granny Smith said, "You ain't from the city, ain't ya?" a man asked, "Do Ah sound like Ah'm from the city?" Granny Smith asked, the man aimed his gun at her, "Ah don't look like it, but I was quite the slinger back in mah day." Granny Smith said, "Well, let's see if that's true." the man replied, and apples were targets were set up, Granny Smith was given a revolver, she fires six shots while pressing the hammer down really fast with her left front hoof and pulling the trigger with her right front hoof, the loudness of the gun scared the world's natives, she hit every target with ease, "Not bad, is there any one of y'all ain't from the west who knows how to shoot?" the man asked, "Allow me to demonstrate." Cheese Sandwich replied, and Cheese Sandwich shot the gun after it was reloaded, Apple Bloom was shocked to see Cheese Sandwich was an extremely good and fast shooter with the revolver, his shooting was almost as good and as fast as Tom's shooting, "I gotta say, I'm acock at how fast you can shoot." the man said, "Thanks, I learned to shoot when I was younger." Cheese Sandwich replied, "I can see that, go on, and watch out for them city folk, they ain't friendly." the man said, and he left. The world's natives walk around and were a bit disappointed, "This place isn't fun, all of this dull sand color is boring." Pinkie Pie said, "I have to admit, darling, it is." Rarity replied, "No kiddin', even Appleloosa was brighter than this place." Applejack said, "Hey, that's where Ah went yesterday." Apple Bloom said, and they saw the saloon, "Would ya look at that, this place got a saloon, we can have drinks in there." Applejack said, "Yak could use drink, yaks thirsty." Prince Rutherford replied, "Yes, so can I." Sugar Belle said, "I'm thirsty too." Princess Ember said, "Well, let's go." Gabby replied, and everybody entered while Dragon Lord Torch got on his stomach and put his head through, "Ah, it's you again, young one, would ya like another drink?" the bartender asked, "No, Ah'm fine, mah family's and friends are explorin' with me today." Apple Bloom replied, "What can I get y'all?" the bartender asked, "Adam's Ale for me." Granny Smith replied, "Ah'll take an Adam's Ale, too." Applejack said, "Eeyup." Big Macintosh said, "Uh, Adam's Ale?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's our way of sayin' water." a male earth pony from Appleloosa replied, "You guys should write these down, I don't understand a thing they're saying." Cheerilee said, "Y'all from the city?" a woman asked, they look and Rarity was in awe at their dresses, "I must say, those dresses are beautiful." Rarity said as she walked to them, "Hands off, lady, these ain't cheap." a second woman replied, "I must say, tis town ist strange." Cloudy Quartz said, "Aye, I am not familiar with thou customs." Igneous Rock Pie said, "Y'all two speak just like mah ancestors." a third woman replied, "You guys spoke like our ma and pa before, too?" Limestone Pie asked, "Yup, but that was like two hundred years ago." the bartender replied, surprising the world's natives, "If it's okay to ask, what is this, a bar, tavern, or saloon?" a male earth pony from Appleloosa asked, "It's a doggery." the bartender replied, "Oh, Ah figured, this saloon don't look very fancy, now that ya mention it." Applejack said, "Unfortunately, I might have to close soon, them city folk is gonna annex this land from us soon." the bartender replied, "You guys seriously need to work on your grammar." Twilight Sparkle said, "Now, Twilight, Ah know their grammar is improper when compared to where ya grew up, but in mah language, they are speakin' properly." Applejack replied, "I am hopelessly confused." Twilight Sparkle said, "You from the city, lady?" a female dancer asked, "Yes, I'm from my home country's capital." Twilight Sparkle replied, "How about the rest of y'all?" another female dancer asked, "I'm from there, too." Spike replied, "I'm from the city." Rainbow Dash said, "Me too." Fluttershy said, "Nope, I grew up in a very small town." Rarity said, "Ah grew up on a farm." Applejack said, "Me too, a rock farm." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, us dragons grew up in a volcanic environment." Princess Ember said, "Us griffons grow in a dump of a place, everything is destroyed." Gallus said, "Yak live in snowy environment." Prince Rutherford said, "Well, our kind lives in a cave." King Thorax said, "And our kind lives in the mountain and the sea." Silverstream said, "I see, so none of y'all are from the desert." the bartender replied, "Actually, some of mah relatives are." Applejack said, "Oh, are y'all gonna stay here all day?" the bartender asked, "No, we're actually planning to explore the entire town." Princess Luna replied, "Well, y'all should leave then, I gotta close up the doggery soon." the bartender said, "Well, here ya go, pardner." Granny Smith replied, and paid him bits, the bartender just took it and the world's natives left. Granny Smith leads the world's natives and they all see humans player poker, "Oh, Ah remember that, I played that game a lot in mah younger days." Granny Smith said, "Whoa! They got horseshoe throwing too!" Rainbow Dash said excitedly, Applejack chuckled when she also saw it, "Hey, look, there's a rodeo goin' on." Apple Bloom said, and they all see a human riding a bronco, Fluttershy was very uncomfortable, they look and saw the horse breaking job, it made everycreature uncomfortable, "That looks forced." Ocellus said, "It does, I don't think the horse likes it." Fluttershy replied, they all become scared when they hear shooting, they look to the left and saw men doing target practice with revolvers, the loudness of the guns scared everybody, "Hey, wait, I see the scenery changing." Spike said, and they all keep turning and looked north, they saw the desert, "Look at that, they've got a desert, too." a female pony from Appleloosa said, "Well, let's check it out a bit." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they go together. The creatures enter the desert and pant from the heat, the dragons endured the heat better than the other creatures, while the yaks struggled, "Place hot, Yona need rest." Yona said, "No kiddin', place is as hot as a brothel on nickel night." Applejack replied, "This heat is ruining my mane." Rarity said, "I think... we should just fly." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they did, the people who could not fly or use magic were picked up and carried. The world's natives look around and they saw a lot of cacti, "I see somethin' slitherin' on the ground there." Apple Bloom said, they all look and see it, "Snake? Snake!" Twilight Sparkle said with fear, she freaked out and flew back in fear, knocking down everycreature, "Watch where you're going." Princess Ember said, "Sorry, but I'm really scared of snakes." Twilight Sparkle replied, "It's alright, Twilight, them slippery slitherin' critters are the bane of many ponies in Appleloosa." Applejack said, "Hey, look, I see people up ahead." Sweetie Belle said, and everycreature looked, they saw stagecoaches and wagons up ahead, along with other people riding animals, but to their surprises, those who rode independently rode camels instead of horses. Fluttershy was enamored by the camels and flew to them, "Excuse me." Fluttershy said to the nearest camel, it and the male rider look at her, "Where's the nearest town from here?" Fluttershy asked, "Y'all just came from it, that's the only town left 'round here, everythin' else is city." the rider replied, "Uh, I was asking the camel." Fluttershy said, "Sorry, pardner, but camel don't speak." the rider replied, "Oh." Fluttershy said, "I suggest you head home, the desert's real hot today, you should head home before you get burned by the sun." the rider replied, and they rode off. Everycreature got back together and saw the big city everywhere, to their shocks, it was expanding, and destroying the old towns and nature, "Wow, that's a lot of city." King Thorax said, "Well, I think that's everything." Shining Armor replied, "Agreed, let's head back." Princess Celestia said, and they do. The world's natives head home and rest of the day, they all go to sleep and fall asleep easily, tired from the heat, Fluttershy put her animals to sleep quickly so she could sleep, they all went to bed and slept peacefully. Everybody was sleeping peacefully until they hear mooing and struggling, it woke up the ponies and the people around the farm, they all hear voices as well, Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, and John get up and run outside. The five arrive outside and saw five men, one had a lasso and was trying to rustle one of the cattle, Daniel took out his pistol and fired a warning shot into the air in an attempt to scare them off, but the other four men take out rifles and begin shooting at him. Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, and John take out their revolvers and fire at the men from behind, they grunt as they fall, the man rustling the cattle was still trying to steal it, they were about to fire at him but a lasso wrapped around his abdomen and he was pulled down. Tom looks and saw Applejack with rope in her mouth, Fluttershy flew forward and took the rope off of the cattle, "Are you okay? Let me see." Fluttershy said as she checked the cattle, "Thank you, you really saved me a few bullets." Tom said, "What in tarnation is goin' on?" Applejack asked, "I'm about to check." Tom replied, and he looks at them, he can tell from their clothes they were from the city, "They were sent by that guy who wants to destroy my farm and sell my cattle to the glue factory." Tom said, "How d'ya know that?" Applejack asked, "This ain't the first time this happened, it means he's gettin' impatient, every once in a while, he's gonna send rustlers here." Tom replied, "Rustlers?" Applejack asked, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, they look to the west and saw her with Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity, "What are rustlers?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Thieves, they break onto farms and try to steal cattle from honest livin' farmers." Applejack replied, Rarity exclaimed with shock, "How dare they! Them ruffians shall not have them!" Rarity said, "I really appreciate it, but y'all should get some sleep." Tom said, "Well, let us stay here, we'll watch out for anymore rustlers." Applejack replied, "Alright, thanks." Tom said, and he went back into the house with Django, Shane, Josey, and John, the Mane Six and Daniel watch for anymore rustlers coming for the rest of the night. The next day comes and the Mane Six slept in the house, Fluttershy and Applejack went out with Tom to help him tend to the cattle, they work while Volvox and Dommiel showed the other famous people and told the ponies what happened to them, Sartana was nowhere to be found, Wyatt Earp died from illness, Landon Ricketts got killed in a duel with Erron Black, Red Harlow has gone under the radar, Dutch van der Linde has disappeared, and Arthur Morgan was nowhere to be found, "Dutch went insane after a while, when he realized that his steal from the rich, give to the poor methods would actually not make the world a better place, several of his gears came loose." John said, "Well, maybe if he just asked to share, he wouldn't have to had committed such crimes." Rarity replied, "Arthur was also a member of Dutch's gang, I forgot what happened to him, and I remember Landon, he was famous when I was a boy." John said, "What did you guys do back then?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We're all gunslingers, it's not as popular as it used to be." Django replied, "People used those guns we have, a gun is a tool, it's as good or as bad as the man using it." Shane said, "There were a lot of sayings about gunslingers when I was a boy, who was the fastest, the strongest, the deadliest, you name it." Josey said, "People always said Landon Ricketts was the fastest." Tom replied, "Uh, you just spoke twice, Josey." Rainbow Dash said, "I didn't say that." Josey replied, "No, it was me who said it." Tom said, the Mane Six were very shocked, Tom's and Josey's voices sounded exactly the same, "What did they mean by who's the strongest?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Basically, who can endure the most shots before fallin'." John replied, "Answer to that is different everywhere." Josey said, "Back when we were younger, the deadliest gunslinger was a man wearin' a poncho." Shane said, "What was his name?" Rainbow Dash asked, "That's the thing, no one knows." Dommiel replied, "What did he look like?" Applejack asked, and Volvox shows them a wanted picture of him, the man wore a brown hat with a black telescope crown on it, his hair was brown, he also had a brown stubble, there was a cigar in his mouth, it said his special features were a poncho, and his gun had a silver snake engraved on its handle, the Mane Six see the poster said he had three names, Joe, Manco, and Blondie, Blondie was his most well known name, but his real name was unknown, they did notice that he looked exactly like Tom, "Y'all never found out what his name was?" Applejack asked, "Nope, even we don't know." Volvox replied, "People say he ain't the deadliest gunslinger no more, the deadliest one now is Erron Black." Josey said, surprising the six ponies. Noises were heard outside, they sounded like cars, "Them city folk are here, I'll be back." Tom said, and he stood up and walked outside. Tom walks out and Volvox teleported outside and made himself his regular size, Dommiel flew up into the air with his shadow powers and watched, Daniel had his pistol out, the Native Americans rode their horses to the place to see what was going on. Everybody saw Model T cars coming, Tom saw Robert come out, he had on a black business suit and hat, he was clean shaven and had a round face shape, his skin was pale, and his eyes were blue. Robert walks forward along with his construction workers, "Ready to sell your farm and cattle, Tom?" Robert asked, "No, I ain't goin' anywhere." Tom replied, "I see, so you won't give up that easily, the city will consume your farm eventually, if it isn't me who buys it out." Robert said, "I ain't the only one livin' here." Tom replied, "We have already come to terms with that, you can sell that farm and your cattle, and live peacefully with the city, and have those ghouls there work for me, building cities is hard and dangerous, Tom, nobody will miss those savages if they die on the job." Robert said, the ghouls were scared, Daniel aimed his pistol at him, "They're residents, too, you ain't takin' them." Tom said, "Then I would like to have your cattle." Robert replied, "To send them to the glue factory?" Tom asked, "And cooked and served, they're cattle, they're meant to be eaten." Robert replied, "No, they ain't, their milk is our main drink." Tom said, "Then what is your main source of food?" Robert asked, "The corn behind me, and the crows we shoot down." Tom replied, "You can't digest corn." Robert said, "It's still better than nothin'." Tom replied, "If you worked in the city, you could have some chickens." Robert said, "I ain't doin' that job, I've seen what y'all do to them birds." Tom replied, "That's nothin' personal, Tom, makin' them chickens fat is required so they can be nice and big when they're eaten." Robert said, "I still ain't takin' it, I am not gonna make chickens get big and fat to the point where their legs break." Tom replied, the Mane Six overhear him and run outside, they look at Robert with shock, "It's not personal, Tom, it's just part of the job." Robert said, "My decision remains, I ain't sellin' my farm or the cattle." Tom replied, "Hold off all you want, someone will buy you off eventually. Let's go." Robert said, and he got in the car and his people drove off. Tom sighed and the six ponies walk to him, "Is that true, Tom?" Fluttershy asked, "What?" Tom asked, "Do they really make chickens overweight until their legs break." Fluttershy asked, "Yes, they do it to make the chickens plump so they're big when they're eaten." Tom replied, shocking the mares, "We have to stop it, where is it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Everywhere in the cities, but there isn't one near here." Tom replied, Fluttershy began to tear up, "I know it's tough, but we can't save all of 'em." Tom said, Fluttershy began to cry, her five friends comforted her, "How could they? Them animals can do more things than just be eaten." Applejack said, "I know, but the people in the city only see them as food." Tom replied, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity began to tear up as well, "I think y'all should head home and sort yourselves out there." Tom said, they agreed and headed to their homes. The Mane Six sort through their thoughts and feelings on the chickens at Sugarcube Corner, Starlight Glimmer and Spike were with them, "Should we contact Sunset?" Spike asked, "No, Spike, I don't think we're going to need her." Twilight Sparkle replied, "So, what are you guys going to do?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "We're going to help Tom defend his farm." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Yes, the man who wants to build the city there also wants to kill his cattle." Fluttershy said, "Exactly, we won't let that happen." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Maybe we can work somethin' out." Applejack said, "Why, Applejack, what do you have in mind, darling?" Rarity asked, "Maybe if we get the cattle outta there, and just have Tom sell his farm, then maybe the cattle can live." Applejack replied, "But where would the others live after that?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Oh, Ah haven't thought about that." Applejack replied, "Maybe we can get the two to work a deal out without having the cattle slaughtered." Twilight Sparkle said, "I think I can persuade him." Pinkie Pie replied, "Uh, Pinkie, I think it'll be best if you let me do the persuading." Twilight Sparkle said, Pinkie Pie looked down, "Maybe we should go to help." Starlight Glimmer said, "Sure, I'd appreciate that." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, let's go." Spike said, and they head back to the farm. Volvox and Dommiel were looking after the cattle with Giovi since Tom went to town to make more money, Volvox hears him and saw him trying to break a horse so it can be ridden, he was riding on top of it while the horse bucked around, it horse was eventually broken and he rode it into the barn, he was paid five dollars, which was a lot in the town. Tom hears a man struggling and saw it was a new man, he falls off of the horse and it bucks around and destroys part of the farm Tom was working at. The horse bucks around, it jumps around and hits the ground with its hoofs, the horse jumps and bucks up and down, Tom realized it was must have been a new horse, and has never had anyone on its back before, so it was freaking out. Tom sees the horse heading to his farm while it freaked out, the Mane Six, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike head back to the farm and see the wild horse freaking out, shocking them, "Oh my, what is wrong?" Rarity asked, Fluttershy flew to the horse, "Hey, it's okay, calm down, what's the matter?" Fluttershy asked in a soft and gentle voice, the horse jumped around and bucked and it soon landed on her, she grunted and the horse jumped off of her, it kept jumping and bucking, shocking them, "Hang on, Ah got this." Applejack said, and she ran to it, she jumped got on the horse's back, the horse continued to buck and jump, "Whoa! Easy now!" Applejack said as she rode on it, she balanced herself while the horse kept freaking out, "Come on now, it's alright, we're ain't gonna hurt ya." Applejack said as the horse kept moving around, her friends were getting nervous, "Easy, easy." Applejack said, the horse kept bucking and it soon stopped and neighed as it rinds up on its hind legs, "Yee-haw!" Applejack said happily as she held her hat in her front left hoof, the horse calmed down and Applejack rode it around, Fluttershy was very uncomfortable with the horse breaking technique. Tom walked back and saw the horse, "Thanks, the owner's waitin' for it, this way." Tom said, and he leads them. Tom takes the seven mares and Spike to the owner of the horse breaking area, "Thank you kindly." the man said, "Yer welcome, mister." Applejack replied, "Uh, excuse me." Fluttershy said, the others look at her, "There are other ways to tame animals besides forcing them like that." Fluttershy said, "Well, I'm sure there is, but it's the best way for us men, we don't have soothing voices like how women do." the man replied, "Oh, well, uh, allow me." Fluttershy said, and she went to a wild horse roaming around in the fenced area, she did some therapy talking and persuading, and the horse was tamed without having to be ridden, "Well, I'll be, she might be a natural." the man said, "Well, her home is an animal shelter." Applejack replied, the man smiled, "Say, where's y'all doxology works at?" Applejack asked, "Oh, we used to have plenty of 'em, but they got destroyed in place of cities gettin' built, it made us all-overish." the man replied, "Ah'm sure it did, those are important to the community." Applejack said, "Don't you all get tired of this job?" Rarity asked, "I'll admit, it does become dull music after a while, but it's necessary, wild horses like to roam into our homes and destroy 'em, we also use horses for farm work." the man replied, Fluttershy flew back, "All done." Fluttershy said, the man saw the horses were all tamed, Fluttershy tamed them by just speaking, "Would ya look at that, I don't know if I have enough money to pay ya." the man said, "No, it's fine, I take care of a lot of animals." Fluttershy replied, "Well, it was nice to see them, we'll be going now." Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright, take care." the man replied, and the seven mares and Spike go back to Tom's farm. Tom attends to a sick ghoul while Daniel, Giovi, Shane, and Django checked him, Josey and John were busy looking out for any rustlers, "Hey, them colorful horses, and whatever that thing is, is comin' here." John said, and they see them arrive, "Tom, darling, we have an idea, we were thinking maybe we can make a deal with that other man without having the cattle slaughtered." Rarity said, "It ain't gonna be easy, them city folk usually don't like renegotiations, and it ain't common for women to have a say in such things." Tom replied, "What?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "Wow, Granny was right, females really didn't have a say in givin' orders in Appleloosa in her younger days, either, this place really is the same." Applejack replied, "Well, at least one of y'all understands our ways." Tom said, "Well, are you willing to listen to what we got?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "What do y'all have in mind?" Tom asked, "Fluttershy will take the cattle to her cottage, and you can sell the farm, and then you and the others could live with Applejack on her farm." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, I'm not sure about this, this is home for all of us." Tom said, "Give it a try, Tom." Volvox said, "What?" Tom asked with surprise, "It might be worth it, then those city guys can stop bothering us about it." Dommiel replied, "Okay, but we still have two more problems." Tom said, "What are they?" Rarity asked, "The Indians have to deal with Richard Morbucks, he wants to sell their land to the government so he can expand his oil mining business." Tom replied, "And the other one?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Finding my commanding officer before he kills every ghoul." Daniel replied, reminding the seven mares and Spike, "Hey, someone's coming." Starlight Glimmer said, and they saw another Model T car, it was highly decorated, they see a man come out, "Ugh, he is unbelievably fat." Rarity said, "That's Richard right there." Tom said, they see Richard was obese, wore a black fancy business suit, a black vest under his blazer, a white shirt under the vest, a monocle on his left eye, he wore a black top hat, he had a round face shape, was bald, and had a thick white moustache. Richard walks up to the hills and they see Richard had two types of workers with him, they were all men, the first type had naturally red hair, and the other type had yellow skin, every worker was like that, they watch him and the Native Americans ride down with their horses and had rifles with them, "What do you want?" the Native American chief asked, "Are you prepared to leave?" Richard asked, "No, we're staying." the Native American chief replied, "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Richard said, "What are you saying?" the Native American chief asked, and they hear walking, they saw a man stand to Richard's right, the humans were very shocked to see who it was, it was Erron Black, "Who is that?" Spike asked, "Erron Black, the deadliest gunslinger in the country." Dommiel replied, "Okay, nice and easy now, guys, unless you wish to be killed, evacuate your land, and I won't have to shoot down any of you." Erron Black said in a calm and stoic tone, shocking the ponies and Spike, they run to him, "Hey! You can't just take their land like that!" Pinkie Pie said, "I can, and I will, their land now belongs to the city government." Richard replied, "We were here first." the Native American chief said, "That doesn't matter, you can't fight change and progression, now surrender your land, and work for me, or die." Richard replied, the ponies and Spike were angry, "What makes you think you can just come here and take their home away?" Applejack asked, "Society demands it." Richard replied, guns are cocked and they see John and Josey were there, "I ain't lettin' ya take their land, this has to been their home for many years." John said, "That's right, and this tribe sided with me during the war." Josey said, "Wait a minute, John Marston, Josey Wales, a former gang member and a Greycoat, you're both wanted men." Richard replied, "I ain't wanted no more, I'm workin' for the government now." John said, "Let John go, Erron Black, but fire at Josey." Richard said, "Hold up, where's my money?" Erron Black asked, and Richard paid him, Josey and Erron Black fired at one another, Josey grunted and fell while Erron Black still stood, shocking the ponies and Spike, "Well, who else wants to get shot?" Erron Black asked, "Stand down, mister." Applejack replied, "Why?" Erron Black asked, "I'll zap you down with my magic." Twilight Sparkle replied while her horn glowed, "My bullets will get to you first." Erron Black said, Twilight Sparkle shot a beam out of her horn, Erron Black simply moved to his right and dodged it, shocking her, "Stop, it is not our nature to fight women." Richard said, "Why? Afraid you'll lose?" Rainbow Dash asked smugly, "No, it's dishonorable." Richard replied, "Oh, well then, Twilight, dear, I think you should stand down as well." Rarity said, and she did, "Come along with me, you bog trotters and coolies, you all have work to do elsewhere." Richard said, and they left, "You alright?" Applejack asked, "Yeah, it ain't too bad." Josey replied, and Django and Shane carry him, the ghouls used their magic to heal him, "It's getting late, we should head home." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all go home. The next day comes and the Mane Six and Princess Celestia go into the northern hills to meet the Native Americans, they ride their horses and surround them, "Are you the ruler?" Princess Celestia asked the Native American in front of her, "Yes, I am the tribe's chief, White Horse." the Native American chief replied, "I am the chief's wife and tribe's doctor, Black Wolf." the female Native American to White Horse's left said, "I am the ruler of these ponies and the dragon, Princess Celestia." Princess Celestia said, "I noticed, your kind will help us defend our land, you all may go in peace." White Horse replied, "Thank you, but we wish to help, and befriend you guys." Princess Celestia said, "And why exactly?" White Horse asked, "We have noticed you all are mostly isolated and attack those who try to come, we were hoping by befriending you all, we can ease up tensions." Princess Celestia replied, "You all have already earned our trust." White Horse replied, "Indeed, whether we choose life or death for you is determined by your actions, since you all have decided to help us, it shall be life." Black Wolf said, "I was hoping we could live together peacefully." Princess Celestia replied, "We already do, and we have all come to terms with one another, we are at peace." White Horse said, "So, are we friends then?" Princess Celestia asked, "Yes, I understand you all have a different way of living from us, and are confused over our ways, but you all are allies to us." White Horse replied, "Well, we will continue to help, but in exchange, we'd like for you to defend us in our times of need." Princess Celestia said, "Fair enough, allies it is." White Horse replied, and they went their separate ways. Daniel attends to the ghouls and Shane decided to help him, the two tend to the sickly and comfort the children, "Is that all of them?" Shane asked, "Yeah, for now." Daniel replied, they hear walking to the southeast and Daniel went to go check it out. Daniel walked into the narrow path and he heard a blade ting, he saw a male ghoul in front of him, holding a sword towards him, a female ghoul and a male ghoul toddler were with him, they were nervous, Daniel takes the glove off of his right hand and shows them a tattoo of two black serpentine dragons on his right hand, one was right-side up while the other was upside-down. The three ghouls look and realized it was the tattoo the ghouls gave to the people of Daniel's unit that have sided with the ghouls to help them defend their home, they become relieved and hug him, he hugged them back, he led them back to the farm. Daniel walks back with the three ghouls and they see them, "Quick, Dommiel, get the flag up." Volvox said, and they do, they bring up a big orange and purple flag with the ghouls' dragon symbol on it, they hear running and they saw a big group of ghouls arrive at the farm, much to their relief. Daniel ran to them and got the ones who were sick, Tom and Dommiel ran to help them as well, while Shane, Django, Josey, and John were on the lookout for anyone who would try to hurt them, Volvox kept an eye out as well, he also saw White Horse and Black Wolf have their tribe scout the area, the ghouls arrive and the elderly were being carried, the world's natives see every male ghoul was shirtless and wore black pants, while every female ghoul wore long-sleeve shirts and pants, some were barefoot, and some wore shoes, they all had black claws of place of fingers and toes. The ponies went to them to help them recover, "What are they doin' here?" Granny Smith asked, "Some of them were brought to this continent by Mortimer to be slaves, me and the other people from my military unit are trying our best to keep them free." Daniel replied, "Where are the other members of your unit?" Princess Luna asked, "Spread out across the land, we don't stay in one place so the ghouls can be safe in other areas than just here." Daniel replied, "I see, it's good you all are doing this, we'd like to aid them as well." Princess Celestia said, "Thank you, I still don't know how they got here." Daniel replied, "It looks like they opened a portal with their magic to come here." Volvox said as he looked down the path, "Okay, good, they can still teleport if they wish to escape." Daniel said, "We'll be helping now, I brought some medicine from my cottage." Fluttershy said, "Thanks, I treat the elderly and children first, let's go." Daniel replied, and the ponies help him check the new ghouls to make sure they were healthy, they were done, "Thank you, this usually takes all day." Daniel said, "You're welcome, we'll be in Equestria, call for us if you need help." Princess Cadence replied, "I will, thanks." Daniel said, and the ponies left, the people get on with their days and nothing happens for the rest of the day. The next day comes and Tom attended the cattle with Fluttershy, Applejack, Big Macintosh, and the Young Six helping him, "Wow, who knew milking a cow could be so much fun!" Silverstream said, "Fun? This is boring." Smolder replied, "Yeah, and there's cow manure everywhere." Gallus said, "Yona find this gross, Yona not like cleaning manure." Yona replied, "A pony would never do something like this for a living." Sandbar said, "Neither would a changeling, we might clean mud, but we would never touch manure." Ocellus replied, "Instead of y'all chattin' and dilly dallyin' the cleanin', y'all should get it done now and complain afterwards, them cow chips ain't gonna clean themselves." Tom said, and they clean, "Come on, Tom, let's show ya Sweet Apple Acres and Appleloosa." Applejack said, and she and Big Macintosh took Tom to the train in Canterlot, they board it, "What do ya think of the train, Tom?" Applejack asked, "Slow." Tom replied, "Now, Tom, I know them horses are faster than this right now, but this train can go crazy speeds at times." Applejack said, "The city is trying to have tracks built so they can have locomotives travel to where we live, they're pieces of crap." Tom replied, "Shoot, you don't say, Ah'm gonna have to try to ride one of 'em horses one day." Applejack said, "Good luck with that." Tom replied, and they were silent for the rest of the ride. Tom arrived in Sweet Apple Acres and saw the place, "Why, howdy, Tom, it's good to see ya again." Granny Smith said, "Hello." Tom replied, "Howdy, Tom." Apple Bloom said, "Hello to you too." Tom replied, he saw Big Macintosh working, "Hello." Tom said, Big Macintosh waved at him with a smile on his face, "Come on, Tom, Ah'll show you the way around." Applejack said, and she did, "So, what'd ya think?" Applejack asked, "Runnin' this place is gonna be harder than runnin' the farm." Tom replied, Applejack laughed, "That's why Ah said bring everyone, all of them ghouls and those livin' in the farm can work here together." Applejack said, "Well, I don't think y'all have enough food to feed all of us." Tom replied, "That's why we're goin' to Appleloosa next, come on now." Applejack said, and they board the train again and go to Appleloosa. Tom arrives and sees the place was a bit like the town he goes to when he was younger, "This place might do." Tom said, "I'd thought ya like it, the buffaloes are over there, Ah think that tribe livin' with y'all might like 'em." Applejack replied, "You also mentioned a cottage." Tom said, "Yeah, that's back in Ponyville, let's go back." Applejack replied, and they do. Applejack takes Tom to Fluttershy's cottage, "Why, hello, Tom, I've been waiting for you, you can send your cattle here to live with me for some time." Fluttershy said, "You sure you know how to take care of 'em?" Tom asked, "Yes, I know how to take care of a lot of animals, I'm sure they'll like it here." Fluttershy replied, "Alright, make sure you milk 'em." Tom said, "Don't worry, I won't forget." Fluttershy replied, Tom looks around and was liking it, "I think this could work, I can sell the farm to Robert without losing my cattle, I'll lose the corn, though, but I think we can manage without it for some time." Tom said, "Alright then, it's settled, let's get a move on." Applejack replied, and they go back to the farm. Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, and John round up the cattle, they begin walking across Equestria, Volvox saw it was going to take too long, so he just uses his telekinesis and puts them at Fluttershy's cottage, "Alright, let's call Robert." Volvox said, "I'll do it." Dommiel replied, and he sent a telegraph to Robert. Cars came after an hour and Robert stepped out, he walked to the farm and Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom watched him, "I'm ready to sell the farm, Robert." Tom said, and he looks at it, he glared at Tom, "I'm not buying this." Robert said, "What?" Tom asked, "You know the rules, sell your cattle to the butchery and glue factory as well." Robert replied, "Why do they have to go for? You said the city just wants to build here." Tom said, "Selling your cattle is going to be used to fund the city to build here." Robert replied, Tom was angry and was ready to take out his revolver, "I'm going to give you twenty four hours to get your cattle back, if you don't, then those ghouls there will be sent to the slaughterhouse and glue factory instead." Robert said, the ghouls look at him with horror, and he gets in the car and drives away. Volvox watches him and saw the car drive to the saloon, "He and his construction workers are going to the saloon." Volvox said, "Well, I'd say we pay 'em a visit." John replied, "I agree, maybe a little brawl can set 'em right." Josey said, "Let's go then." Tom replied, "I'll stay here and keep an eye out for more intruders." Daniel said, and Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, and John walk to the town. Robert and the people from the city stay in the saloon and drink like crazy, they party and try to flirt with the female dancers, the bartender did not like them the slightest, and the dancers were disgusted. Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, and John enter the bar, Tom taps Robert on his left shoulder with his left index finger and Robert turns around, Tom punches him in the face with his right fist, the people from the city begin fighting while Django, Shane, Josey, and John joined the fight. A brawl breaks out in the saloon and the dancers go to their quarters while the bartender stood by while holding a rifle. Tom fought with Robert while Django, Shane, Josey, and John fought the people from the city, and the people from the city fought one another, it was just punching until one of the men from the city hit John on his back with a wooden chair and broke it, the men began throwing the alcohol bottles at one another, and hitting one another with the chairs, Django hit one man's face on the piano, which made a loud off-key sound, and hurt the bartender's ears. The men begin throwing tables at one another and were destroying the saloon, some men had their faces smashed on the tables, they broke after a few hits. Robert's men begin throwing the silverware at Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, and John, along with at each other, the men were thrown out of the saloon and the others went out to keep fighting, breaking the two wooden doors in the process. Volvox watches the fight and the other countries hear them, they look and saw the brawl, shocking the ponies, Twilight Sparkle teleports herself and her five friends there, "Guys, stop!" Twilight Sparkle said, she was then hit on her back with a brown wooden chair, it broke in the process, but Twilight Sparkle screamed in pain and fell to the ground, she was in too much pain to get up. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie ran to her while Rarity held everyone back with her telekinesis, Rainbow Dash tried to separate them, and Applejack had her lasso ready, "That's enough! Break it up!" Rainbow Dash said, and they do, "What in tarnation is goin' on here?" Applejack asked, "We ain't doin' jack, these people made us madder than an old wet hen." John replied, "That doesn't mean y'all can just go 'round and start a brawl, y'all makin' noise like a rooster in the mornin'." Applejack said, "We can hear you all in Equestria, you all should learn to act civilized." Rarity said, "We had our reasons, Robert changed the deal." Tom replied, shocking the six ponies, "Come with us, we'll tell you at the farm." Django said, and they go to the farm, "Is it true?" Twilight Sparkle asked while in pain, "Is what true?" Dommiel asked, "Did Robert really change the deal?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Volvox and Dommiel nod, "What happened?" Fluttershy asked, "He said since the cattle being slaughtered and made into glue was going to fund the city building here, he changed it around, he wanted the ghouls here to be slaughtered and sent to the glue factory instead." Daniel replied, shocking the six mares, "Well, if you sent your cattle, I wouldn't have to had changed it." Robert said, surprising the others, "Say, is there someone you're takin' orders from?" Josey asked, "No, I'm acting on my own, I just wish to have my money." Robert replied, "What about those guys from the city with you?" Shane asked, "Oh, they're just idiots I pay, I can care less about what happens to them, there are more people from the city that can replace them." Robert replied, the people behind Robert grumble and begin driving away with the cars, leaving Robert behind, "No! Come back here!" Robert said, "Of course, big corporations only caring about money is what drives them into the ground." Volvox said, "Yup." Dommiel replied, "Tom, you double-crossing snake! I'm going to put you in the ground!" Robert said, "Well, you ain't got nowhere to stay." Tom replied, "Just you wait, I'll show you who's boss around here." Robert said, and he left, "Why did you guys start the fight for anyway?" Rainbow Dash asked, "To show 'em they ain't welcome here, and they can't take away our way of life." John replied, "Well, yes, I understand the way of living a certain way, but why start a fight for?" Rarity asked, "Cause when things look bad, you gotta get mean, I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. Cause if you give up, then you don't win. That's just the way it is." Josey replied, "No, it's not! There are other ways!" Twilight Sparkle said angrily, "For example, lady?" John asked, "Change the deal to one all sides would like." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Sorry to say this, but the city people don't do business that way." Shane said, "What?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "He speaks the truth, the people from the city rather kill us than renegotiate." Django replied, shocking the six mares, "Let's just go home, I need time to think this through." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go home, the others get on with their days. Applejack was at Sweet Apple Acres and told her family about the fight in the saloon today, "Oh my, that sounds just like that one time in Appleloosa when Ah was a filly." Granny Smith said, "Wait, there was a bar fight in Appleloosa once, Granny?" Applejack asked, "Oh, yes, back when Ah was younger than Apple Bloom, a big fight broke out in the saloon in Appleloosa, it was bad, ponies fought outside, all of the furniture was broken, the piano was smashed, and the hospital was filled to the brim for months, some ponies also threw glass bottles at one another, a lot of ponies had to volunteer to help the doctors since there was too many patients, it months to recover." Granny Smith replied, "Were ya caught in it, Granny?" Apple Bloom asked, "Fortunately, no, Ah was nearby though." Granny Smith replied, "Ah've never heard of that." Applejack said, "That's cause Appleloosa didn't document it, they didn't wanna look back on it." Granny Smith replied, surprising her three grandchildren, "It's gettin' late, off to bed now, y'all." Granny Smith said, and they went to sleep. Tom was in town the next day and he was doing bronco riding to make money again, he saw Robert at the gun store, he saw him buying a rifle, "You sure you want that one?" the clerk asked, "Sure am, there was a saying that if man with a pistol meets a man with a rifle, the man with the pistol is dead." Robert replied, Tom began to have flashbacks, "Interesting, what else did you hear?" the clerk asked sarcastically, "Always aim for the heart." Robert replied, the clerk restrained his laughter and gave Robert the rifle, Tom headed home when he saw Robert was heading to his farm. Tom got a metal plate of knight armor from his bedroom and tied it with rope, he then got his old poncho and put it on, he headed out. Everybody saw Robert coming and he had the rifle, the people on the farm come out and watch him, cars were heard and Robert saw Richard come out, his naturally red haired and yellow skinned workers were with him, along with Erron Black, the world's natives heard them and they watch as well, "Tom, I'm here. Come out!" Robert said, and Tom did, "What is it, Robert?" Tom asked, "Draw." Robert replied, Tom did not bother being serious, so he on purposely went slow, just when Tom was about to take his gun out, Robert shot him where his heart should be, shocking the world's natives, but Tom stood back up, shocking Robert and Richard, "I heard you talk about aiming for the heart, Robert, go ahead and fire." Tom said, and Robert shot him in the heart again, Tom fell and got back up, "Aim for the heart, Robert, don't forget the heart." Tom said, and Robert shot him in the heart three times, "Remember, Robert, the heart." Tom said, and Robert shoots four bullets at Tom's heart, he shot one more as he fell, "He's got something under his poncho." Erron Black said, Richard looked at him with surprise. Tom got back up and Robert was very shocked, he tried to fire again, but he was out of bullets, Tom saw a yellow aura on his poncho and it was lifted off of him, he watches it in midair and saw Princess Celestia was the one removing it, the world's natives see the metal plate at where his heart should be, shocking the world's natives, "What the?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Hey! That's cheating!" Pinkie Pie said, Tom turned around and threw his revolver to the ground, it was empty, "Well, go on, throw your rifle to the ground." Tom said, and Robert did, "You said a man with a pistol is dead when he meets a man with a rifle, let's see if you can prove that." Tom said, and they run and begin reloading their guns, Tom reloaded faster than Robert, shocking him, he looked on at Tom with fear, Tom then shot Robert in the head and killed him, shocking the world's natives. The Mane Six and Young Six went to him, "That doesn't count. You cheated!" Silverstream said, "It wasn't a game, lady." Tom replied, "Yona thought it game." Yona said, Tom just looked at them. The Mane Six check Robert and try to wake him up, "Can you hear us, darling?" Rarity asked, "He's not going to get up, he's dead." Erron Black said, shocking the six mares, "You mean, they weren't playing?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Draws are not games, if you lose, you die." Erron Black replied, horrifying the six mares, "Well, enough of that, where are those Indians?" Richard asked, White Horse and Black Wolf led their tribe, "Are you all ready to serve me?" Richard asked, "What is in it for us?" White Horse asked, "A job." Richard replied, the men with the naturally red hair and the other men with the yellow skin shake their heads, "I'm afraid we must refuse." Black Wolf said, Richard became angry, "Fire, Erron Black." Richard said, he gave him a few dollars as well, Erron Black begins firing at the Native Americans, some of them fell while the Native Americans shot back at him, but Erron Black moved around and fired more bullets, hitting some of the horses, horrifying Fluttershy, she flew to the horses in an attempt to move them from the battlefield, Erron Black was careful not to fire at her, "Wait, something's wrong, sister." Princess Luna said, Princess Celestia looked on and realized what Princess Luna was saying, "Do you see it?" Princess Luna asked, "Yes, it looks like those things he's firing are changing trajectory in midair." Princess Celestia replied, Erron Black kept firing and Volvox shot three hellfire blasts out, one from each of his mouth, he shot them at Richard and Erron Black, they both ducked but Richard panted from exhaustion. Erron Black throws sand grenades at the Native Americans, the sand grenades explode and scare the horses, some of them fell while Fluttershy flew to them to check on them; Erron Black shot more bullets at the Native Americans, the ones that were going to hit Fluttershy went around her, White Horse orders the men to fire at Erron Black, but Erron Black disarmed them with his revolvers, "Wait, let me try something." Dommiel said, and he did a snap with his right index finger and thumb and a black shadow beam came out, it hit Erron Black's hat and knocked it off, but it did not stop him, "Nope, thought it'd make him stop and look for it." Dommiel said, "Most men in this time get mad when their hats are shot off, I guess he's not one of those people." Volvox replied, and Erron Black kept firing at the Native Americans. Twilight Sparkle ran to between Erron Black and the Native Americans, she tried to use her telekinesis to stop the bullets, but they were too fast for her, "No! Stop!" Twilight Sparkle said, and Erron Black saw she had magic, so he stopped firing, "What are you doing? Fire, Erron Black!" Richard said, "Nope, our agreement was only fire at the Indians, shooting at the others was not in it." Erron Black replied, Richard growls, "Go, you bog trotters and coolies, get those Injuns!" Richard said, the Native Americans were offended, the men working for Richard were reluctant to attack, Richard got angry, he turned around while taking out a pistol from his blazer and held it in his right hand, he shot one of the men with natural red hair and killed him, horrifying everyone except Erron Black, "Those who do not fight the Injuns will be killed by my own hand." Richard said, the men working under him become scared but obey him reluctantly, they begin throwing rocks at the Native Americans, but most of them missed. Richard checked the time after thirty minutes, "Let's go, you idiots, it's time to get back to work." Richard said, and they all left while Erron Black picked his hat back up and put it back on, "What do you think, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "Let's let nature take its course, they'll rebel against him eventually, as for Erron Black, maybe we can buy him his loyalty." Volvox replied, "I'm still surprised Robert went down so easily." Dommiel said, "It's not that surprising, he never was much of a threat anyway." Volvox replied, they hear humming and saw Tom leading the coffin maker to his farm, the coffin maker takes the dead bodies and heads back to town, the Mane Six and Young Six attend to the wounded with Black Wolf and they heal the injured people and horses, nothing happens for the rest of the day and it remains peaceful. Evening comes and Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, John, Daniel, and White Horse were in the house, discussing future plans, they hear knocking and Tom opens it, he saw the Mane Six, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Pillars of Equestria, and the rulers, "Can we come in?" Princess Celestia asked, "Sure, make yourselves at home." Tom replied, and they entered, they stood with them, "It is nice to meet you all again." Somnambula said, "Nice to see you again as well, ma'am." Shane replied, "We have been watching you guys, you all seem... out of place when compared to the others." Star Swirl the Bearded said, "That's because we are." Volvox replied, "How so?" Shining Armor asked, "Our time has passed." John replied, "There you go, the era we were born in is gone, a new era and way of living is coming." Tom said, "Well, maybe you all can adjust." Rarity said, "Afraid not, we tried, and we couldn't." Josey replied, "Yes, the time of gunslingers is over." Django said, "Well, you all can do what we did, and find new things to do based on our old talents." Flash Magnus replied, "That ain't gonna work." John said, "Why not?" Rainbow Dash asked, "All we know is shootin' and killin'." Josey replied, "You all don't know anything else?" Mage Meadowbrook asked, "Nope, killin' people is a strange type of fame." John replied, "That shouldn't be fame, period." Applejack said, "Well, it was durin' the height of our time." Tom replied, "What about you, Daniel?" Pinkie Pie asked, "My time has passed, too, I was fighting in a war in a different continent when these guys fought in their war, and when John was in Dutch's gang." Daniel replied, "I knew my time was over a long time ago." Shane said, "What about you two?" Princess Celestia asked, "The time for angels and demons ruling the Earth passed over two hundred years ago." Dommiel replied, "Yes, my power began to wane at the beginning of the Age of Enlightenment, I have ruled this world for billions of years." Volvox said, their visitors felt bad, "A new time and way of life is coming, and our way of life is considered taboo to them, we can't adjust to them." White Horse said, "Neither can I, we're all relics of a bygone era." Daniel said, "I feel you lads, I can't fit well into the new times, either." Rockhoof replied, "You speak just like my father." John said, "So you all can't adopt to the new time?" Princess Cadence asked, "Can't, farmin', shootin', killin', and survivin' is all we know." Josey replied, "Well, I also know how to rob a bank, and a train." John said, "I was a bounty hunter before I retired here, even that's gone now." Tom replied, "Don't forget riding horses, they're now being replaced with cars." White Horse said, "I've seen those things around, I can walk faster than that piece of crap, give me a horse any day." John replied, "Now, John, darling, I think they just started making them, you should give them a few years to develop and see how it will be later." Rarity said, "I'd still take a horse." John replied, "How about a mule?" Tom asked, "I've rode a mule before." John replied, "We used to have plenty of bison here to hunt, those people who first came here took them all away." White Horse said, "You guys hunted animals?" Fluttershy asked with shock, "It was our way of life, but we only hunted to eat and provide nutrition to the tribe, people are now hunting for sport." White Horse replied, "For sport?!" Applejack asked with shock, "White Horse and other tribes used to fight one another because of food, but the foreigners who came here are now hunting them to near extinction for sport, they're selling their horns, fur, and other parts of money, bison's not the only animal they're hunting." Volvox replied, Fluttershy was in tears, "I don't see any wild animals around here, though." Princess Celestia said, "That's because those settlers already hunted all of them to extinction around here." White Horse replied, shocking the ponies and Spike, "When did these people come to your land?" Spike asked, "About four hundred years ago." Dommiel replied, "Dommiel and I have tried our best to preserve them, but not even we could preserve all of them." Volvox said, "What about those guys with the red hair and yellow skin?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "They're from different continents, they have come here hoping for work and a new way of life, but as you can see, they didn't get what they wanted." Tom replied, "How so?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "As you see, they're the ones who come here, it's because of their race, they are forced to do all of the dirty and dangerous jobs, they also have to work on railroads, mine, and blow things up with dynamite, their workplace is unsafe as well." Volvox replied, "What? That isn't fair." Princess Luna said, "I've also noticed a big lack of females with you guys." Princess Cadence said, "Oh, about that, that's also a bit with our way of life, women take care of the children and homes, some women suffer from depression and go insane due to lack of communication, they entertain the men in bars with dances and sometimes help them bathe, they serve us our drinks as well." Tom replied, "Did you say help men bathe?!" Rarity asked, "Not always." Shane replied, "Don't worry, it's not our nature to harm women, and those who do are despised by our society." Django said, "Oh, well, it is nice to know you all know how to treat a lady." Rarity replied, "And if we start the fighting?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Then you better be careful, lady, some of the men will get on you if you lose." Josey replied, "Oh, trust me, I'm not gonna let that happen." Rainbow Dash said, "What about those ghouls outside, where are they from?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "They're just like the red haired and yellow skinned men working for Richard, from a different continent, but unlike them, those red haired and yellow skinned people came on their own accord, the ghouls were brought here against their wills to serve as slaves to society, the war we had ordered them to be free, but not every area obeyed." Daniel replied, "Plus, Mortimer is still out there, he's the one who started the genocide and enslavement in the first place, out of the three threats we face, he's the biggest one." Volvox said, "We will gladly help you find him, anyone is welcome to our land, regardless of what race or kind they are, so if he does come, send the ghouls to our land, and we'll protect them." Princess Celestia replied, "Thanks, but if we're lucky, when we find Mortimer, he'll already be caught or dead." Dommiel said, "*yawn* it's getting late, I think we should rest for the night." Twilight Sparkle said, "I agree, I'm startin' to fall asleep in the chair, I'm gonna go hit the sack." John replied, everyone said goodnight and the ponies and Spike went home and slept. The next day comes and Volvox saw he and the others had a good relationship with the other creatures in the world, which surprised him, because they really do not do anything, he saw the Mane Six, Young Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, rulers of Equestria, Starlight Glimmer, Sunburst, and Spike come to help them with the farm, Applejack and Fluttershy did the most work, and Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle played with the toddler ghouls. Flurry Heart was in the house and exploring it, she was having fun exploring and made baby noises, she keeps flying around and saw a locked cabinet near the ceiling, Flurry Heart undoes the lock with her telekinesis and opens the cabinet, she sees an object in the cabinet, she thought it was a toy, she used her telekinesis to take it out and plays with it. Volvox and Dommiel were scouting the area while the others worked on the farm, a gunshot is heard from inside the house and Flurry Heart screamed in pain, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence become worried and run into the house with everyone else while Volvox just shrunk himself and teleported in. Everybody runs to where they heard Flurry Heart and saw her on the floor, "Flurry Heart?" Princess Cadence asked with worry, Flurry Heart continued to cry, they look and saw a black revolver on the floor, they also see Flurry Heart clutching her right front leg, which was bleeding, the world's natives become horrified, "What happened?!" Sweetie Belle asked, Daniel moves Flurry Heart's front left leg off and everyone saw a gunshot wound, "I don't get it, I put that gun in the highest cabinet and locked it, how did she get it out?" Tom asked, "She has wings, Tom." Dommiel replied, "I know, but how did she undo the lock?" Tom asked, they all see Flurry Heart move the gun away with her telekinesis, "That's how she undid it, she has telekinesis." Volvox said, John went over and looked at the wound, "It's pretty bad, we're gonna have to get the bullet out." John said, "How?" Princess Cadence asked, John took his knife out, making the world's natives uncomfortable, "We're gonna have to cut into the wound and dig it out." John replied, "But there must be another way." Shining Armor said, "Nope, we have to dig it out, if we don't, she might get lead poisoning." Josey replied, "Tom, please, we have to find a safer way." Twilight Sparkle said, "I didn't say that." Tom replied, "Wait, then... oh." Rainbow Dash said as she realized it was Josey, "What will happen if we don't take it out?" Princess Luna asked, "Then she might get an infection, if that happens, we're going to have to cut her leg off." Dommiel replied, horrifying the ponies, "Wait, guys, I think there's a better way, I might know of a way, let's take her outside, this room is too small." Sunburst said, and they go outside. The unicorns cast a spell on Flurry Heart so she does not feel any pain, Sunburst looks for the bullet and finds it, he pulls it out with his telekinesis and got it out, Shining Armor proceeded to wrap a bandage wrapping around Flurry Heart's leg, they notice Flurry Heart could not move her leg and had to fly or use telekinesis to get around now, "Y'all are lucky, a lot of kids died from mistaking the gun for a toy, you're also lucky nothing fatal was hit." Tom said, "Why do you have something like that in the first place?" Shining Armor asked, "Well, it's to defend the home, we have rustlers and bandits every now and then." Tom replied, "But do you really need that many?" Princess Cadence asked, "I only have two, this one, and that one in the cabinet, I used to have more." Tom replied, "But what about them?" Shining Armor asked, "Well, they need to defend themselves as well." Tom replied, "Oh." Shining Armor said, Daniel walked over to Flurry Heart and checked her leg, "I think she's going to be fine." Daniel said, Princess Cadence sighed in relief, "Sergeant Lamprey." a male voice said from the southeastern path, Daniel walked over and saw several men come, they had on the same outfit as him, they had ghouls with them, Daniel realized they were his allies, "What are you guys doing here?" Daniel asked, "You remember the ghouls' magic to track their own kind if lost?" one man asked, "Yeah, what about it?" Daniel asked, "They used it and found our safe havens for them have been raided by Mortimer's men, this is the only safe spot left." the man replied, "There are more down the path, they're paying their respects to the gravestones." another man said, "Wait a minute, gravestones?" Sandbar asked, "Originally, this was the only safe place, a lot of ghouls had to walk here, but the path was very long, some of them died along the way, their gravestones are down there." Daniel replied, "Take us, please." Princess Celestia said, "This way then." Daniel replied, and he leads them. Daniel leads the Mane Six, Young Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, and rulers of Equestria, they look around and see a lot of grass, they keep walking and see wooden graves for the dead ghouls, they look at them, "What happened to them?" Ocellus asked, "Usually, they die from old age or illness." Daniel replied, "Hey look, this guy was old." Gallus said, they look and saw the ghoul's grave markings said he was seventy years old at the time of his death, "There's more up ahead, this way." Daniel replied, and he leads them, they see the ghouls paying their respects to the dead, they look and saw Daniel coming with the world's natives, they hear walking up ahead and Daniel saw two injured male ghouls, Giovi was carrying them, "Are they the only injured ones here, Giovi?" Daniel asked, Giovi nods, "Yikes, those blades of his look dangerous." Smolder said, "They are, he got them after Mortimer's men cut his claws off." Daniel replied, "How many of them have bladed claws?" Scootaloo asked, "Only him." Daniel replied, "Ah think we should keep goin'." Applejack said, "Yeah, this path is very long, let's go." Daniel replied, and they keep walking, they see a lot of gravestones and ghouls paying their respects to them, they keep going to the end but come to water, "Oh, only a small part of the path is here, the whole thing is very long." Daniel said, "This must be the Celestial Sea, the griffons' home is right there." Princess Celestia said, Daniel looked and saw it, "Well, let's go back, I have to treat the sick and wounded." Daniel said, and they do. Everyone arrived back and the world's natives help Daniel and the members from his unit tend to the sick and injured ghouls, some of them were sad, they see a few of the ghouls have died, they were elderly, so the men from Daniel's unit pick them up and bury them along the path, "Oh, you all look tired, you all should let them rest." Twilight Sparkle said, "Most of them sleep during the day." Daniel replied, "How long has this been going on?" Princess Cadence asked, "We never kept track." Daniel replied, surprising the world's natives, "Are you a bison?" one of the men from Daniel's unit asked Yona, "No, Yona yak." Yona replied, "I used to see a lot of bison back then as well, it's a shame they're all gone." Shane said, they hear horses and the Native Americans arrive to tend to the new ghouls, "What happened to the bison?" Fluttershy asked, "Hunted and killed by the newcomers." White Horse replied, "You should speak to their government about it." Princess Celestia said, "Sadly, I cannot, the governments are chiefed by the double tongues." White Horse replied, "Of course, figureheads never really do much, it's always their advisers that cause trouble." Princess Luna said, "Of course, we do not have advisers, our tribe lives together in peace." Black Wolf replied, "That's great to hear, we'll be helping Daniel now." Princess Celestia said, and they help the soldiers tend to the ghouls. Dommiel went to the city and saw it expanding, he saw the desert was going to be gone soon with the new people, he was looking for Erron Black, he had a lot of money with him as well, but he saw Richard instead, "Get back to work, you idiots!" Richard said, "But we'd like higher pay." a man with yellow skin replied, "No! Only us decent white folk get higher pay, you lowlifes work!" Richard said, "But, Mr. Morbucks, we have families to take care of!" another man with yellow skin said, "Well, they can suffer with the rest of you inferior scum!" Richard replied, the men begin complaining and leave, "Get back here! It's not leaving time yet!" Richard said, Dommiel can see something bad was going to happen. He sees Erron Black walking by and runs to him, "Wait, Erron Black." Dommiel said, and Erron Black turns to face him, "How much is Richard paying you?" Dommiel asked, "Twenty dollars an hour, not much." Erron Black replied, "How long do you work?" Dommiel asked, "Monday through Saturday, eight hours a day." Erron Black replied, Dommiel realizes Erron Black was paid nine hundred sixty dollars a week, which was to his relief, he actually had more money planned to pay Erron Black than Richard, "Well, how would you like to serve us?" Dommiel asked, "Depends on how much you're paying." Erron Black replied, "This much." Dommiel said, Erron Black looked and saw Dommiel had a pack of ten thousand dollars, "How long do I have to work to earn this much?" Erron Black asked, "Eight hours." Dommiel replied, "You've got yourself a deal, I'll be heading over." Erron Black said, and he begins walking to the farm. Everybody finishes tending to the ghouls and they all left, "Excuse me, Tom." Cheese Sandwich said, Tom turned around and looked at him, "I found this on the ground." Cheese Sandwich said as he gave back his poncho, "Thanks." Tom said, and he put it back on. The people at the farm work together and Dommiel returned, everything was peaceful until they hear walking, they saw Erron Black coming, every human aimed their guns at him, "Relax, I'm on your guys' side now." Erron Black said, confusing the Native Americans and soldiers, "I managed to use a little... uh... persuading and convincing... to have him join us." Dommiel said, "Good, now Richard is defenseless, he never was much of a threat anyway, either." Volvox replied, "Well, let's go deal with him now." Shane said, the others agreed, "Hold on, something's going on at the oil mining's headquarters." Volvox replied, and he watches. The men with the natural red hair and the men with they yellow skin were protesting at the oil mining headquarters about their work ethnicity, they had to do all of the dangerous jobs, and were paid less, along with the workplace being unsafe, some of the protesters had injuries from working, some were minor, some were fatal, they began protesting because the company wants to increase the amount of work they have to do and decrease their pay. The men keep protesting and Richard had the white men serving under him armed with rifles, "Open fire!" Richard said, and the white men begin shooting at the men with the natural red hair and yellow skin, some were killed, shocking Volvox as the men ran away, he shot hellfire beams out of his eyes at Richard and the white men who worked under him, this scared them and they ran away. The minors serving under Richard get their families and run to the farm, "Hey, White Horse, Richard's men don't serve him anymore." Volvox said, and the Native Americans ride their horses down, "Is it true?" White Horse asked, "Yes, we quit, Richard tried to increase the amount of work we have to do and decrease our pay, we protested against it, and he ordered the white men who serve under him to kill us." a man with natural red hair replied, "I see, it's a shame big businesses only care about money, they never cared about having a safe workplace for minorities." White Horse said, "We're jobless now, but this seems to be the only place left to go, there's nowhere else in the city that's hiring." a man with yellow skin replied, "Well, I'm not sure about that, the farm's not that big, but you all can treat the sickly and wounded if you have the knowledge and skills, but we don't have enough money to pay you all, nor do we have enough space for you all to stay here." Volvox said, "We're just here to ask for work, we still have our homes in the city." another man with yellow skin replied, "Then why did you all bring your families here?" Dommiel asked, "Safety reasons, we fear Richard will have them attacked next." another man with natural red hair replied, "Speaking of Richard, he's already here." Django said, the others turn around and see the cars coming, Richard and the white men who served under him arrived, they had rifles with them, everybody who had a gun at the farm aimed it at them, "What are you bog trotters and coolies doing?" Richard asked, "We quit." the man with the natural red hair replied, "Erron Black, gun them down." Richard said, there was no response, "Erron Black?" Richard asked, he walked to him, "What the? What are you doing with them?!" Richard asked with shock, "Something wrong, Richard?" Erron Black asked, "You were supposed to be serving me!" Richard replied, "They offered more money." Erron Black said, Richard was bewildered, "Fine! Kill him as well, fire!" Richard said, and the white men serving under him opened fire. The Native Americans and Erron Black fire back while the naturally red haired and yellow skinned men take cover, Daniel and the other soldiers from his unit fire at them as well. Flurry Heart balls up into a fetal position while scared, the ponies see what they were doing and become shocked, they use their telekinesis to take the guns away, "What the?! Fire at them as well!" Richard said, and the humans serving under him fire at the unicorns, a few got shot, they scream in pain. The ghouls use their magic to make Richard's shadow and the shadows of those serving him attack them, they destroy the guns as well, Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, John, and Erron Black fire at the white men and kill them, leaving only Richard, "What?! Impossible!" Richard said, "Something wrong, Richard?" Django asked, "How are you all able to shoot so fast and so accurately?" Richard asked, "Let's just say I got my eye back." John replied, Richard growls and takes out his pistol and aims it at them, Tom shoots his right hand and he drops the pistol, he exclaims in pain and falls, Tom walked to him, "I said this once to a man I knew, there are two types of people in this world, those with loaded guns, and those who dig, you dig." Tom said, "I... I don't understand what you're saying." Richard replied, "What he means is there are those who are armed, and those who dig their own graves." Josey said, Richard began to whimper, "You better start digging, my friend." Tom said, Richard did, he pulled the grass out and began digging with his hands, the Mane Six and other ponies could not bear to watch what they were doing to Richard, he kept digging for a short amount of time, "That's enough." Volvox said, and Richard stopped, he picked up his pistol and tried to fire at them, but Erron Black shoots it out of his hand, shocking him, "He's all yours." Erron Black said to the Native Americans, the men with the natural red hair, and the men with the yellow skin, but only the Native Americans had guns, so they open fire and shoot Richard to death. Volvox uses his powers to open the ground and bury Richard and he closed the ground, the ponies walk over to them in the meantime, "No, Tom, there isn't." Princess Celestia said, even though she was calm, everyone could tell she was angry, "Isn't what?" Tom asked, "There's a lot more than just two types of people in this world." Princess Celestia replied, "Those are the only two in our world." Tom said, "Don't forget there are three types of suns in Kansas." Josey replied, the ponies look at them with disapproval. Erron Black looks at Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, "You two came to our world long ago." Erron Black said, shocking the two, they stammer, "How do you know that?" Princess Luna asked, "I'm older than I look." Erron Black replied, "But that was over two hundred years ago." Princess Luna said, shocking the ponies, "Anyway, we'd like for you all to change your ways, I understand a new era is coming, but your ways of life are still too violent." Princess Celestia said, "Well, it's a violent world out there, you should've been around when people were looking for gold." Tom replied, the other humans agree, "Y'all remind me of mah younger days in Appleloosa, but them memories ain't pleasant." Granny Smith said, "The world ain't a pleasant place, lady." John replied, "You all really should focus more on building a safer area." King Thorax said as he came over, "This really is the safest area right now." Volvox replied, surprising everycreature, "Come on, y'all, I think we can find jobs for y'all in Equestria." Applejack said, and the naturally red haired and yellow skinned men followed them, they look for jobs and most of them found jobs in Manehattan and Baltimare, some worked in Appleloosa, some worked in Ponyville, and some worked in Canterlot, some of them went to the Crystal Empire every once in a while to check on Flurry Heart's leg. Two days pass and Granny Smith was teaching Big Macintosh, Applejack, and Apple Bloom how to use a revolver, "There, keep yer back straight, Ah didn't wanna do this, but seein' as their town is like ol' Appleloosa, y'all gotta learn to defend yerselves, cause friendship ain't gonna solve nothin' in their town." Granny Smith said, the gunshots were very loud, it scared everypony, especially the foals, it was Apple Bloom's turn to shoot, "Now, Apple Bloom, just relax and fire, just to hit the target the best ya can." Granny Smith said, Apple Bloom was scared and fired slowly, the gunshot scared her and made her jump, she blinked her eyes as well, "Now, now, Apple Bloom, don't blink when ya fire, and don't jump, either, that can cause a shot to come out by random, and ya don't want that." Granny Smith said, Big Macintosh, Applejack, and Apple Bloom were very uncomfortable with firing the gun, "Do we have to do this, Granny?" Apple Bloom asked, "If ya wanna come out alive, yes." Granny Smith replied, and the three fire guns slowly, "Ya gettin' the hang of it, Big Mac?" Applejack asked, "Eenope." Big Macintosh replied, "No, faster, like this." Granny Smith said, and she fires six shots in one second, she hit all of the targets in the center as well, shocking her three grandchildren, Granny Smith felt pain in her back, "Oh, your granny's ain't as good as she used to be." Granny Smith said, and she sat, the three kept firing the guns while Granny Smith instructed them. Night comes and Princess Luna enters the dream realm, "Okay, let's see what we have here." Princess Luna said, she notices a lot of the foals were having nightmares, she heard the gunshots, she realized all of the gunfights and bullets were scaring the foals, she zaps them away and continues her duties, "Wait, what's this?" Princess Luna asked with concern, she noticed Flurry Heart was having a nightmare about the guns, she also had a nightmare about the bullet in her leg being a monster that was eating her leg away from the inside, Flurry Heart screamed in terror. Princess Luna was about to zap it away, but the nightmare disappeared, she hears crying and realizes Flurry Heart woke up in real life, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence wake up and go to her to comfort her. Princess Luna was worried about Flurry Heart, but continued with her duties, she had to plug her own ears as she heard gunshot after gunshot, it scared the foals greatly, but she zapped them away and comforted the ones who were the most scared for the rest of the night. Three days pass with nothing eventful happening, Volvox looks forward and saw the desert was being modernized by the city people, they notice a lot of the old places were gone, and cars were driven around instead of horses, mules, or camels, which made him a little sad. Cawing was heard in the sky and everybody saw the crows coming to eat the corn, John gave Tom his rifle and Tom fired into the sky to scare the crows, it scared the world's natives as well, "Wait, no." Fluttershy said, she flew to them, "What are you doing?" Fluttershy asked, "Them crows like to eat our crop, I'm keepin' them away." Tom replied, "I'll handle this." Fluttershy said, and she flew up, she spoke to the crows kindly and they flew to her cottage, "Well, I'll be." Tom said, and they continue with their days. Trotting was heard and they see four people come, three men and a woman, they were all on camels, "What can we do for you guys?" Volvox asked, "We ain't got nowhere to go, city took down our town." one man replied, "What's it like?" Dommiel asked, "City's rule is different from ours, we can't have us a hog-killin' time no more." the woman replied, "So, what are y'all doin' here?" John asked, "We wanted to see if there was anymore places left." the second man replied, "How many have you found?" Django asked, "Just a few, there ain't much settlements for us no more." the third man replied, "Well, if you want, y'all can stay here." Tom said, "No, it's fine, we just lookin' around." the first man replied, "Oh." Tom said, "Well, y'all have yourselves a good day." the woman said, and their camels walk away, nothing happens for the rest of the day. Everybody rested during the evening and knocking was heard at the door, Tom went over and opened it, he saw Granny Smith, Big Macintosh, Applejack, and Apple Bloom, "Howdy, we couldn't help but notice y'all havin' crop problems." Granny Smith said, "Yeah, them crows like to eat the corn." Tom replied, "Well, we brought some corn for ya to plant, we were wonderin' if ya needed help." Apple Bloom said, "Maybe tomorrow." Tom replied, "Alright, Ah also noticed the city expandin'." Applejack said, "Yeah, it's gonna spread here one day." Tom replied, "Y'all won't have to run away from it, will ya?" Granny Smith asked, "Depends if we can adapt to it, if not, we'll run away." Tom replied, "Y'all won't have to put the licks in if that happens, will ya?" Applejack asked, "It's possible we might." Tom replied, "Well, it was nice meetin' ya, we'll help y'all with the corn tomorrow." Granny Smith said, "Alright, thanks." Tom replied, and the Apple family left, Tom went back into his home and everybody rested for the day. The next day comes and Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, John, and the Apple family plant the corn together, "No, put it over there, it'll look better, some over there, some here..." Twilight Sparkle said, "Girl sounds like some kind of preacher for organizin'." John said, "Yeah, Twilight always wants things neat and organized, it's a bit of a habit of hers." Applejack replied, Erron Black looks around and Rainbow Dash flew in front of him, "Well?" Rainbow Dash asked, "What?" Erron Black asked, "Why did you start serving these guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, "They offered more money." Erron Black replied, "More money?! Those guys weren't your friends?!" Rainbow Dash asked with shock, "Nope, I'm not really much of a joiner." Erron Black replied, "You still owed them!" Rainbow Dash said angrily, "Well, that's their problem." Erron Black said, Rainbow Dash growled at Erron Black, "Something wrong, lady?" Erron Black asked, "Yes!" Rainbow Dash replied angrily, "Well, I don't have a problem with what I do, if you do, then that's your problem." Erron Black said, Rainbow Dash growled and just flew away in anger, everybody can see that Rainbow Dash and Erron Black were not going to get along. Everybody keeps working on the farm with Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, the Young Six, and other kids playing with the child ghouls, Daniel and the soldiers from his unit nursed the sick back to health. The Cutie Mark Crusaders went to go check on Flurry Heart, who was sitting on the ground, "You okay, Flurry Heart?" Sweetie Belle asked, Flurry Heart nodded, the three fillies check her leg and saw she looked fine, they then went back to play with the other kids while the adults worked on the farm. Josey was walking around and working on the farm, he saw Ocellus laying on the ground with her eyes closed, he leans towards her and spits liquefied chewing tobacco on her back, which causes her to exclaim with shock and open her eyes, "Hey!" Ocellus said, she looks around and saw Josey walking to the cornfield to plow it. Everybody left in the afternoon and the ghouls had enough magic to try to transfer their area to a different place or bring another area to them, "Okay, it's ready, let's see if we can find the ghouls' home." Volvox said, "Alright, stand by, everyone." a soldier from Daniel's unit said, and Volvox, Dommiel, Giovi, and the ghouls use their magic to find the place, they make a new area appear to the southeast, the ground was completely black, and there was a few areas to make fires, "We found it. We found the ghouls' territory." Dommiel said, "Come on, let's go." Daniel said, and they run. The soldiers stop running and look at the place with shock, they see the homes were destroyed, dead ghouls hung and crucified, the faunas were dead as well, they also see ghouls that were tortured to death, the ghouls still alive look on and tears build up, "No, we were too late." a soldier said, Daniel and the soldiers just look on with sorrow. The ponies see it and run and fly to look for them, "Are there any survivors?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Hello? Is anyone here?" Applejack asked, the ponies look around for any survivors, they hear groaning and saw it was coming from under a rock, Twilight Sparkle uses her telekinesis to move it and they saw a male ghoul who was anorexic with cuts all over his body, Princess Celestia moves the other rocks and found more ghoul survivors, they all had some form of injury from torture on them, "Wait, we made it after all." a male soldier said, "Let's get them." another soldier replied, and they run to the surviving ghouls, they pick them up and carry them to the farm, the humans go over to treat them. The ponies look for more ghouls and did not find any at the moment, "What happened here?" Rainbow Dash asked, a male ghoul groans and they see one crawl forward, he went to a body of water and used his magic on it. The water floats up and a picture appeared, they saw Daniel and his unit marching to their land, "Keep going, we're supposed to pass through this land and to another post." a male soldier on a black horse said, they all had on the same outfit as Daniel, "That must be Mortimer." Princess Celestia said, the picture changes and they see Daniel marching with more men from his unit, "What are you doing, Lamprey?" the soldier on horseback asked, "Just watching the natives, colonel." Daniel replied, the ponies realize Princess Celestia was right, "You enjoy watching these savages?" Mortimer asked, "Savages? I think that's a bit mean, Mortimer." another male soldier replied, "Look at these idiots, primitives like them shouldn't exist." Mortimer said, some of the soldiers laughed while Daniel and others glared at him, the picture changes to Mortimer ordering his unit to go to the ghouls, they lived in tribes, "Open fire!" Mortimer said, and some of the soldiers begin killing them, shocking the ponies, changelings, yaks, and hippogriffs, "What? What are you guys doing?!" a male soldier asked, "Open fire, soldier!" Mortimer said, and he was shocked by Mortimer's orders, so was Daniel and other soldiers, the ones who obeyed Mortimer shot and killed the ghouls, the picture changes to a ghoul family, a male ghoul, a female ghoul, and their son being tied down with rope, Mortimer was on the black horse and gave Daniel a hatchet, "Decapitate them." Mortimer said, "What?" Daniel asked, "You got your orders, decapitate them." Mortimer said, "But, sir, we were not ordered to slaughter them!" Daniel replied, "Why do you think I led you all here?" Mortimer asked, "What?" Daniel asked, "I have grown tired watching these disgusting savages roam our world, I led you all here to kill them, now decapitate them." Mortimer replied, Daniel glares at him and cuts the rope that was restraining them, "Seize him!" Mortimer said as he pointed his right index finger to him, Daniel was knocked down and he grunted several times, "You will die for your insolence." Mortimer said, but the picture changed to the soldiers being divided, some served Mortimer and destroyed the ghouls' homeland, while others went to them to help them protect their home, they were given black tattoos on their right hands to let the ghouls know they were with them, the picture changes to various pictures, the ponies see the land on fire, they hear ghouls screaming in fear, they see Mortimer having the ghouls tortured by being whipped, severing their claws with blades, and ghoul children forced to hold their parents on their shoulders while the parents had nooses around their necks, the ponies were horrified by the actions of Mortimer and his soldiers. The water went down while the ponies looked on with great horror, "I don't know if you ghouls know this, but since we disobeyed Mortimer, we are now traitors to our country, we can't go home." Daniel said, the ghouls looked at the soldiers with sympathy, Princess Celestia walked to them, "It's okay, you all did the right thing, and you all are allowed in my country." Princess Celestia said, "We were just supposed to pass through a land with no people, we were not ordered to slaughter them." a soldier said, "Well, then Mortimer will be held responsible, he will be caught, and brought to justice, I'll have my country open for them to come." Princess Celestia replied, and she and the ponies leave. The day goes on with everybody mining their own businesses, Daniel and the soldiers hear whipping and dragging noises, they run to the ghouls' home to go check it out, they see a male ghoul that was tied with rope being whipped and dragged along by four soldiers, they were laughing as they hurt him, the four soldiers look and see Daniel and the other soldiers who defected, they were about to take their pistols out, but Daniel and the other soldiers already did, they fire at them and kill them, they run to the ghoul and undo his binds. The soldiers and ghoul go back to the farm and Fluttershy flies to them to nurse the ghoul back to health with them, the world's natives realize the ghouls were still being held captive and needed rescue, so they all watched them in case more ghouls appeared. The next day comes and everybody watched the continent for any ghouls we were enslaved, "When didst tis start?" Igneous Rock Pie asked, "I actually don't remember." Daniel replied, "Thou did not write down the date?" Cloudy Quartz asked, "No, we didn't document anything at the time when the war in the continent was at its peak." Daniel replied, "So, how did you guys keep track of the time?" Limestone Pie asked, "We watched the sky." Daniel replied, "You mean by watching the sun and moon, right?" Maud Pie asked, "Actually, it's always night on their country, the ghouls don't like the sun too much." Daniel replied, "Still, they look so sad here." Pinkie Pie said, "Hmm-mm." Marble Pie said, "It's because their home is destroyed." Daniel replied, "I remember when my farm got destroyed." Limestone Pie said, "Yeah, that's going to happen to this farm one day, too." Daniel replied, "Well, you guys should preserve it, for old memories." Pinkie Pie said, "I'll have to talk to Volvox about that." Daniel replied, and he went over to go help an injured female ghoul. Night time comes and the naturally red haired and yellow skinned humans went to the farm, they all began playing music and singing, which the others did not mind, Pinkie Pie heard them and went over to join, which the humans allowed, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Silverstream joined as well, they all had fun, everybody danced and sang until it was late at night, they went home and slept afterwards. Morning arrives and Volvox looks at the ghouls' home continent in hopes of finding Mortimer, he heard arguing and saw Rainbow Dash and Erron Black were having a conversation about Erron Black's motives, Rainbow Dash was getting angry while Erron Black remained calm and composed, Volvox sighed as he looked for Mortimer, he saw Daniel and the other soldiers searching the continent for any ghouls that were still alive, they dig and move the destroyed objects around to find any ghouls, they found a few, they pick them up and carry them back to the farm, the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs that were present nurse them back to health, some of them were taking care of the cattle, Fluttershy tended to the horses and a black mule, and the Apple family and Pie family tended to the crops. Daniel and the other soldiers walk around and hear grunting, they look and saw four adult male ghouls with nooses around their necks, they look and saw toddler ghouls had to hold up the adult ghouls on their shoulders, they were struggling. Daniel and his soldiers were about to shoot the nooses, but guns cocking were heard behind them, they turn around and saw soldiers wearing the same uniform as them behind them, "Drop the guns, traitors." one of Mortimer's soldiers said, and they pretend to, but it fooled Mortimer's soldiers, Daniel and the others quickly hold up their pistols and shoot and kill them. The people on the farm hear the shoot and the ones who can fly go up to check, they see Mortimer's soldiers on the ground and some gasp when they see the children ghouls being forced to hold up the adults while they had nooses around their necks, Volvox uses his telekinesis to sever the ropes and let them fall, some of the soldiers check them and see they can still walk, so they led them back to the farm, the world's natives go to check on them. Daniel and the other soldiers check the ghouls' home to look for anymore survivors, they hear flying and saw Twilight Sparkle coming, she uses her magic to look for anymore ghouls, she did not find any, "Do you guys see anymore?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the soldiers look around and do not, "Nope, we see no one." Daniel replied, "Well, you guys should come back, it's almost dark." Twilight Sparkle said, "Okay, we'll be coming back shortly." a soldier replied, and she flew back, "Well, let's go, men." another soldier said, and they were about to head back until they heard crying to the north. The soldiers look and saw a male ghoul crawling forward, it was a child, the soldiers see he had chains pierced above his upper lip and lower lip so he could not speak, his eyes were scratched out, and his arms and legs were severed, he had chains pierced through his four stumps, and on the other side of the chains were gray heavy blocks. Daniel and the other soldiers run to him and pick him up, "Can you hear us?" Daniel asked, the ghoul nodded, "We're with the guys who sided with your kind, let's get you to safety." Daniel said, and they carry him to the camp. Everybody was getting ready to rest for the day until they saw Daniel and the other soldiers come back, they see the male ghoul with them and some exclaim in horror, the soldiers put him down while the Mane Six, Young Six, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, King Thorax run to him, the ghoul cries while the ones looking at him were too horrified to say anything, "Who could've done this?!" Rarity asked, "This one was tortured by Mortimer himself, I'm sorry to say this, but there are some ghouls who have received worse fates than this." a soldier replied, the world's natives who looked at him began to cry as they looked at his injuries, the other ghouls go to him and use their magic to heal him the best they could, Princess Celestia also used her magic to heal him while Princess Luna did her best to comfort him, the world's natives look at the ghoul with shock and horror, it made them decide to help Daniel and the soldiers defend the ghouls. Everybody woke up early in the morning and Dommiel flew around to look for Mortimer, the dragons, griffons, changelings, and hippogriffs flew in the sky to look for Mortimer and his soldiers as well, "Search every area, don't rest until you do." Grampa Gruff said, "Keep looking, find any injured ghouls as well." Princess Ember said, "Ember, I found one." Smolder said, and Princess Ember sees a female ghoul bonded to a wooden board, she had knives in her abdomen, Princess Skystar flew down to help Smolder undo the bonds, "Hey, it's okay, we're here to help." Princess Skystar said to calm the ghoul down, the two free her and Princess Skystar hugged her and flew into the sky, "Take her to the doctors." Queen Novo said, and Princess Skystar took the female ghoul to the hippogriff medics. Daniel and his soldiers marched back to the continent to look for more ghoul survivors, they found many dead ones, they were also brought back to the farm so the surviving ghouls can pay their respects to them and give them proper burial rituals. Daniel and the soldiers keep marching and saw a bunch of ghouls marching in unison, they were chained, the world's natives also see them and go to them, but cannon fire was shot at them, they look and saw it, they saw more ghouls being chained and abused, Mortimer's soldiers took out their pistols and began firing at them, the griffons and hippogriffs snatched their pistols away while Princess Ember shot out her fire breath and burned them. Mortimer's soldiers scream while the other creatures ran to them and arrested them, Prince Rutherford leads the yaks to the ghouls and charge forward to break the chains, "Get on yak's back." Prince Rutherford said, and the ghouls do, the yaks carry them back and there were so many ghouls, the creatures had to call for aid, Twilight Sparkle wrote in her journal to call Sunset Shimmer for help. The creatures hear running and they saw Sunset Shimmer come, "I'm here, where are they?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Over here, Sunset." Twilight Sparkle replied, she runs and sees the injured ghouls, she helps nurse them back to health. The buffaloes run over and go to help the ghouls, they also went into the ghouls' home to rescue anymore held captive. Everycreature hears running and they saw Autumn Blaze arrive, "Is everyone alright?" Autumn Blaze asked, "Over here, Autumn Blaze." Applejack replied, and she saw the sick and injured ghouls, she runs to them to help nurse them back to health. Daniel and the soldiers continue walking around and look for more ghouls, they see several on the ground, they go to them and see they were dead, guns were cocked around them, they stood up and saw Mortimer's soldiers, all on horseback, "Well, well." Mortimer said as he rode his black horse to them, "You all returned." Mortimer said, "We're not alone this time, colonel." Daniel replied, "Really? You and what army? A bunch of uneducated and primitive savages?" Mortimer asked, his soldiers laugh, Daniel and the soldiers who were fighting with him were angry, "Well, you all are here, and you're outnumbered, kill them." Mortimer said, and they open fire, Daniel and his soldiers take out their pistols and fire back in an attempt to take down as many as they could. Telekinesis and shadow powers appear and Mortimer's soldiers were knocked down, "What the?" Mortimer asked, they saw Dommiel, Giovi, and the ghouls coming to their aid, the flying creatures hear them and fly to help, they restrain Mortimer's soldiers and tie them up to arrest them, they see Mortimer and the other soldiers have escaped. Daniel and the soldiers pick up the dead ghouls and carry them back to the farm. Volvox looks forward and saw Dommiel coming back, he noticed Mortimer was watching Daniel and the soldiers with a telescope, he did not use his powers since it will only draw unwanted attention. The ghouls were buried on the southeastern path and respects were paid, everybody finished for the day and went home to sleep. Morning comes and Volvox and Dommiel look for Mortimer while Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, and John tended the farm, Erron Black was standing and watching for any visitors, White Horse and Black Wolf were doing customs with their tribe, Giovi was with the ghouls, and Daniel and the soldiers were back at the ghouls' home to look for anymore survivors, "I don't understand, how did Mortimer get those horses?" a soldier asked, "Well, the towns and cities are right there, so he probably bought them, and there's the wilderness to the north, how he got them is anyone's guess." Daniel replied, and they keep searching. Gunshots were being heard and the soldiers run to where they heard it, taking out their pistols as well, they run and saw several ghouls were being restrained to the ground and Mortimer was executing them with shots to their heads, his soldiers open fire at Daniel and the others. Mortimer turns around and begins shooting at them immediately, a gunfight ensures that catches everybody's attention, Volvox uses telekinesis on Mortimer's soldiers to take away their pistols, but they take derringers out of their sleeves' and fire at him, but the bullets bounce off of him, he uses his telekinesis to take them away. The world's natives go over to arrest them but Mortimer's soldiers fight back and begin punching them, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Princess Ember, and Smolder defend themselves physically, all of the griffons and dragons joined in and fought Mortimer's soldiers, they keep fighting until the unicorns arrive and separate them with telekinesis, Mortimer's soldiers try to break out but they were tied with rope and taken to Equestria's dungeon. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, hippogriffs, buffaloes, and kirins look at the ghouls who were held down, their arms and legs were broken, "What happened to them?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Mortimer and his men passed the time by playing games that involved torturing and killing them." Daniel replied, "Who would do such a thing?" Ocellus asked, "You guys never had anything like this?" a soldier asked, "No, never." Sandbar replied, "Well, listen to us, Mortimer's men aren't like the others, these guys are fiercely loyal to him, they'd rather die than surrender." Daniel said, "Have you tried offering friendship?" Princess Celestia asked, "Mortimer isn't the type to let grudges go, and he won't befriend any of you for siding with the ghouls, no matter what." another soldier replied, "Then he shall be taken down with force, along with the others." Princess Luna said, the world's natives agreed, "Let's get them to the farm." Daniel said, and they carry the ghouls, they nurse them back to health the best they could. Sunset Shimmer and Autumn Blaze look at the place and thought it looked nice, Granny Smith explained how things work in their area, it was just like old Appleloosa, "Yeah, the area I live in used to be like that a long time ago, too." Sunset Shimmer said, "Did I hear right, you're from another world?" Autumn Blaze asked, "Well, I'm actually from here, but I reside in another world." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Wow, that is so awesome, my name's Autumn Blaze, I'm a kirin, but turn into a nirik when I'm angry, we had to suppress our emotions when an argument broke out between two of our kind and..." and Autumn Blaze went on and on, Sunset Shimmer got tired eventually, "Alright!" Sunset Shimmer said while losing her temper a bit, Autumn Blaze became silent, "Sorry, I lost a temper a bit there." Sunset Shimmer said, and Autumn Blaze begins to talk about the time Fluttershy and Applejack arrived to her village. Dommiel looks for Mortimer and notices he was rallying up the cavalry, he realizes Mortimer used his telescope to watch the farm, "Volvox, I think Mortimer is getting ready to launch an assault on us." Dommiel said, "I'm watching too, that seems to be the case." Volvox replied, "Y'all wanna bend an elbow one last time?" Tom asked, the others agreed, "No, I'll pass, my drinking days are over." Erron Black said, and they do, they all sleep for the night. Tom woke up early and headed to town to buy bullets, he looked at the bar and saw the bartender was still selling drinks, and the female dancers were still entertaining whoever came, he went back to the farm. Volvox contacted the naturally red haired and yellow skinned men and they came to the farm, some of them were armed, the Native Americans had their rifles and horses ready, Tom came back and he, Django, Shane, Josey, and John loaded their weapons, so did Daniel and the soldiers, Erron Black stood ready, Giovi and the ghouls were ready to fight as well, so was Dommiel, Volvox tried to contact the men who originally worked for Robert but discovered they were too busy, he contacted those who rode in the desert and they came over on horseback and camels, everybody was ready, "Okay, let's get some rest while we can." Daniel said, and they do. An hour passes and Volvox and Dommiel watched the ghouls' continent, they see Mortimer leading his cavalry from behind, "Everyone, get ready, here they come!" Dommiel said, and they see Mortimer's cavalry ride from the ghouls' continent to the farm. Mortimer's soldiers ride down and open fire, Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, John, Erron Black, White Horse, Daniel, the men who originally worked for Richard, the male Native Americans, the riders from the desert, and the soldiers open fire as well. The world's natives hear the gunshots and look, they see Mortimer's soldiers riding their horses to the farm, they watch with shock while Flurry Heart balled up in fear and covered her eyes and ears, the gunshot wound to her leg still made her scared of guns. The ghouls use necromancy to revive the dead ghouls to help them fight, they mind controlled the crows to attack Mortimer's soldiers, it knocked some of them off of their horses, but they got back up and fired at the crows, but they kept attacking. The Native Americans got their bows and arrows out when they ran out of bullets and fired at Mortimer's soldiers. Volvox shot black beams out of the eyes of his skeletal head, red beams out of the eyes of his shadow head, and yellow beams out of the eyes of his parasitic head, it cut whoever got touched by it, and Dommiel used his magic to make Mortimer's soldiers attacked by their own shadows, Giovi slashed Mortimer's soldiers with the blades that replaced the claws for his hands, the ghouls used telekinesis and used their magic to make light red energy waves come out of their claws that cut whatever they hit as they flew forward. Everybody hears noises coming and they see the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, hippogriffs, buffaloes, and kirins arriving to help them, the unicorns, changelings, and kirins use their horns to zap magic at them to restrain Mortimer's soldiers, the dragons breathe fire to scare the horses, the griffons and hippogriffs fly and pick up the humans on the horses, and the yaks and buffaloes charge at them together. Erron Black fires his revolvers and his bullets change trajectory in midair, he hit and killed twelve of Mortimer's soldiers, he also threw sand grenades and laid caltrops on the ground and the horses fall when they step on them, much to Fluttershy's horror, she flies to them and tries to remove them, the unicorns moved the horses back with their telekinesis. More of Mortimer's cavalry ride down and everyone sees they were outnumbered, "There's too many of 'em!" Applejack said, "I don't think we have enough bullets." Shane said, "Hold on, I'll be back." Django replied, and he ran back. Josey ran out of bullets for his two Colt Walkers, so he took out his Colt Army 1860 and Colt 1849 Pocket, he fires at Mortimer's men and hits them accurately, Tom fired and reloaded the best he could to take down Mortimer's men, so did Daniel and the soldiers, the explorers who came to help, and the men who served under Richard. Django came back and had his coffin with him and opens it, he took out a machine gun and began firing at Mortimer's men and the horses, horrifying the world's natives, "Django, stop!" Twilight Sparkle said, but he kept shooting, most were too shocked to do anything as Django fired at the men and horses, "Django, no!" Rainbow Dash said as she tried to take him away from the machine gun, he continued firing and killed some of Mortimer's men, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna stood and looked on with great shock. Django stopped and he saw most of the men were dead and the horses were injured, the Mane Six look at Django with horrified faces. More of Mortimer's men come and Mortimer himself rode with them, John managed to shoot them with deadly accuracy, no one understood how or why his aim was so good. Granny Smith fired a gun as well, while Cheese Sandwich used his giant party cannon, Pinkie Pie also used her party cannon to scare the humans. An explosion appeared right in front of Pinkie Pie and she screamed, she looked and saw Mortimer's men were using a real cannon, they fire another round and it almost hits them, the explosion in front of them scared them, another round was shot and Shining Armor made a shield appear around them to block the cannon fire, it blocked it, but almost destroyed the shield in one shot. Princess Cadence put up a shield as well since the cannon fire was very powerful, the cannon was shot again after three to four minutes and it destroyed Shining Armor's shield, the noise of the cannon scared the kids. The unicorns and changelings try to carry the cannon with telekinesis but it was very heavy, they grunt and struggle as they try to raise it, so Princess Celestia used her telekinesis, it was heavy, but not as heavy as the sun, she picks it up and Mortimer's men fire at the shield, their bullets did not pierce through. Mortimer's soldiers run out of bullets and the shield was taken down, everycreature runs to them to arrest them, but they fight back and hurt some of the creatures, Mortimer fights back and was putting up a better fight than his own soldiers, he did grapples and throws while his soldiers just threw punches, surprising the world's natives, "I'm the commander for a reason." Mortimer said as he fought back and resisted everycreature who tried to arrest him. Twilight Sparkle casts telekinesis on him to restrain him, "Colonel Mortimer, you are under arrest for your treatment of ghouls, and not obeying your superiors." Princess Celestia said, "You can't arrest me for doing things that are out of your country." Mortimer said, "For being a wanted criminal in another country, I can, and I will." Princess Celestia replied, "What about the rest of you guys?" Mortimer asked, he heard blades ting and saw the dragons with swords, Mortimer realized the dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, hippogriffs, buffaloes, and kirins were planning to arrest him and his men as well, "Take them away." Princess Celestia said, and Mortimer and his remaining soldiers who were still alive were taken away by the ponies. Everybody cleans up the dead bodies while Fluttershy grieved over the dead horses, angry at Django for what he did, the dead Native Americans were paid their respects by their tribe, so were the dead ghouls, and the men who used to work for Richard had casualties as well, while those who explored the desert had no casualties, Volvox and Dommiel gave their bodies to their families in the city. Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, John, and Erron Black survived the gunfight, but Shane got shot in the chest, "That don't look good on ya." John said, "I'll be fine." Shane replied, "Still a shame our time has passed." Josey said, "Yeah, even bounty hunter is a job that's dyin' out." Tom replied, "The city is gonna consume the west, our way of life will be gone soon." Django replied, "Not to mention we might have to take orders from women in the future." Erron Black said, the others agreed, "Well, it's late, and it's a been long day, let's rest." Daniel said, and they sleep. Daniel and his soldiers took turns sleeping and guarding, "Everyone, I bring bad news!" Twilight Sparkle said, she flew to the soldiers and ghouls, "Mortimer's soldiers took their own lives in the dungeon, they poisoned themselves, they didn't want to face justice, and Mortimer himself escaped." Twilight Sparkle said, "Okay, we'll let you know if we find him." a soldier replied, "Okay, thank you." Twilight Sparkle said, and she flew away. Daniel stood up and looked at the farm, he and the others hear a gun cock and Daniel quickly takes out his pistol and turns around, he and someone in the shadows fire at the same time, the person falls while Daniel grunts as he got shot in the left bicep. The world's natives hear the gunshots and look, the Mane Six run to them, "What happened?" Applejack asked, "Someone tried to kill me from the shadows, I shot back in self defense." Daniel replied, "Oh my, that doesn't look good, let me see." Fluttershy said as she looked at his left arm and treated it with Rarity, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash find the person Daniel shot, they lift him up to see who it was in the moonlight, the moon shines on the person and everyone saw it was Mortimer, and Daniel shot him in the heart, "Oops, like I said, I couldn't see him." Daniel said, "It's alright, it's not your fault." Rainbow Dash replied, "Well, let's report this to Princess Celestia." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all go back and the night goes on as normal. The next day comes and Applejack and the Young Six milk the cows on the farm, while Fluttershy checked them to make sure they were alright, the bartender came to give them drinks and the women who worked for him danced and entertained them, so did Pinkie Pie, the ponies from Appleloosa greeted them and they had a great relationship with them. Tom rides his black mule to town and plays poker for about twenty minutes, he lost that round and lost a little money, he headed back and it was afternoon, he got off of his mule. Tom heard two guns click behind him, "That's far enough, Tom." Erron Black said, Tom turned around and saw Erron Black aiming his revolvers at him, "What is the meaning of this?" Tom asked, "I know who you are, you're wanted for the murder of several people." Erron Black replied, "Which ones?" Tom asked, "Three bounty hunters, Angel Eyes, four members of the Baxter family, Miguel Rojo, Ramon Rojo, along with members of their gang, the Morton Brothers, Baby Cavanagh, three of his friends, and several members of El Indio's gang." Erron Black replied, "You forget the fact I fought for the north during the war, I'm a hero." Tom said, "You've been on both sides during the war, you were on the south's side first, and switched to the north's side when you blew up that bridge." Erron Black replied, the ponies were shocked by what they heard about Tom, "What else am I wanted for?" Tom asked, "Grave robbing, one hundred thousand dollars to be exact." Erron Black replied, "I'm surprised you found me." Tom said, "Did you think you would go unnoticed, even though you change your name wherever you go?" Erron Black asked, Tom was a little speechless, "You now call yourself Tom, this is the fourth alias you used, all that's known about you is you're from Illinois." Erron Black said, "Your point?" Tom asked, "You have the highest bounty in the country, and I intend to collect it." Erron Black said, "How much are they payin'?" Tom asked, "A million dollars, alive or dead." Erron Black replied, greatly shocking the world's natives, "Draw." Erron Black said, and they were get ready, "One." Dommiel said, the two stood ready, everycreature was nervous, "Two." Dommiel said, the creatures watch while sweating and worried about what was going on, "Three." Dommiel said, and Tom drew his revolver while Erron Black drew both of his revolvers, they fire at one another and Tom was hit in the abdomen while Erron Black was hit in the heart, he grunted and fell while Tom grunted a bit. Tom panted while he looked at Erron Black, the Mane Six and Starlight Glimmer go to them, "You guys seriously need some new ways with dealing with criminals." Twilight Sparkle said, "It's ain't dyin' that's hard for us, it's livin' that's hard." Josey replied, "Well, maybe it's time you guys changed that." Starlight Glimmer said, "What do you all say? Want to stay here?" Volvox asked, everybody disagreed, saying they want to go see their families, "Sorry, but we have to leave." Volvox said, much to the world's natives' disappointments. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna flew to the farm and walked to Tom, "Well, Tom?" Princess Celestia asked sternly, Tom looked at her, "What is your real name?" Princess Celestia asked, "Uh..." Tom replied, "No one knows, not even me." Volvox said, shocking the ponies, "You don't know his name, either?" Princess Luna asked, "None of us do." Dommiel replied, "It is a mystery, I think no one will ever know." White Horse said, surprising everyone, "Well, do you ghouls have enough energy to send us back?" Volvox asked, they nodded, "Well, we have to leave now." Volvox said, and the ponies left, they say goodbye to them as the farm and ghouls' continent were teleported back to their homes. The world's natives, especially the ponies, changelings, hippogriffs, and kirins, hope they change their ways into a new and safer way of life. Flurry Heart remained traumatized by the gun incident, and continued to have nightmares about it, Princess Luna did her best to comfort her from it in the dream realm. Everybody appeared back at home and everything was back to normal, Django got his coffin and headed to the city, Shane rode his horse up north and left, Josey rode to the east and headed to the city, Erron Black survived the gunshot somehow and left, planning to collect Tom's bounty later, and John rode to the west to look for Bill Williamson. Volvox watched John with worry and uneasiness, sensing that his journey was not going to end well for him. ModernVolvox was living in a modern day suburbs and lived in a house, his days of ruling over the humans were over, and he had to retire about three hundred years ago. Volvox lived with Dommiel, who stayed with him even after the end of his reign, he was Volvox's best friend and now one of his roommates, another roommate was Giovi, a ghoul who had knife blades in place of his claws on his hands, Volvox's last roommate was the Count of Saint Germain, who was a time traveler from three hundred years ago, he befriended Volvox and Dommiel in his time, and decided to come to the modern day so he can see them again. Living to their rights was Tom, who was a district attorney, his wife's name was Sarah, and his daughter's name was Jazmine. Living to the left of Volvox and his roommates was Harvey, Orchid, Nick, and Lance, Harvey and Orchid were from different worlds, while Nick was their son, and Lance was adopted by Nick, Harvey, Nick, and Lance were originally humans, but experimented on to be part human, part mutant, part machine, and part alien, the upper-right part of their faces were robotic, made out of silver metal, and had a red slanted eye in place of their right eyes, their left cheeks were alien with dark red skin, their human eyes regular color, Harvey's and Nick's eyes were blue, while Lance's eye was brown, their right foots were an alien's foot with black claws for his toenails, while their left foots were robotic and silver, their right hands were robotic, and could change to a gun, their left hands were alien with the dark red and dark orange skin with black claws, they had the wings of the aliens coming out of their backs, they had silver robotic parts on them, gills on the sides of their necks, their abdomens were silver and metallic in some places, dark red with alien skin in other areas, and the rest was human, and they had the alien's tail coming out of their tailbones, they could make the three horns of the aliens extrude from their heads at will, and the three had telekinesis, telepathy, and technopathy. Orchid had pale skin, an hourglass body shape, an inverted triangle face, green eyes, and red hair that was a bob and went just past her ears, she was wearing a long-sleeve shirt, pants, and shoes, she had on a cape that went halfway down her back, they were all a light beige color, she had five small jewels that were circular in the center of her chest on her shirt, they formed a star, the left jewel was a red ruby, the lower-left jewel was a yellow topaz, the lower-right jewel was a green emerald, the right jewel was a blue sapphire, and the top jewel was a purple amethyst, each jewel represented one of the five elements Orchid controlled, the ruby represented fire, the topaz represented earth, the sapphire represented water, the emerald represented wind, and the amethyst represented lightning. Harvey, Orchid, Nick, and Lance sometimes got visitors they were the friends Nick made when he went to Orchid's home world, one of them was Mercer, he was a humanoid made out of magma, called a magperson, his body was black, hard as rock, and had red lines it, the next one was Silver, a ningen, she was bipedal, her body's mostly white, she has fins on her wrists and ankles, gills on her neck, she has fingers and toes like a human, and her face was a bit like a bird's, with a hooked beak, the third one was Rock, a golem, he was made purely out of dark yellowish-brown rock, his eyes were just spaces in the rock, he had a mouth to speak with, the fourth one was Aero, she was an aviator, she was a humanoid eagle, her body was covered in brown feathers, but her head was covered in white feathers, she had long white hair, and the last one was Alice, a little girl with lightning magic, she had scapulae length yellow blonde hair, she wore a light blue magically enchanted long-sleeve shirt, light blue pants, and small white shoes, she was the youngest of the group, and was around Lance's age. Volvox's, Tom's, and Harvey's and Orchid's homes were the only ones on the left side, there were three houses on the right side as well, living across from Tom was the Freeman family, which consisted of Huey, Riley, and Robert, living across from Volvox and his roommates were Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad, and living across from Harvey and Orchid was Carl Brutananadilewski. Volvox and the others lived peacefully overall, but they were a busy and wild street in the neighborhood, a lot of things have happened on their street, they have had aliens, angels, demons, monsters, live buildings, ghosts, and evil machines on their street, they were not the only ones affected, others in the neighborhood were affected as well. The Count of Saint Germain watches TV and saw South Park was on, he was watching Justin Bieber sing 'Baby' and was laughing at his dancing, Volvox and Dommiel chuckle while Giovi had a smile on his face. The four could not hear the TV anymore and they realize Riley was playing loud rap music in his home, "Boy, turn that down." Robert said, "But it's Gangstalicious, granddad." Riley replied, "Boy, I told you to turn that down, I'll beat you till you actually do." Robert said, and they hear Robert whipping Riley with his belt, Riley exclaims in pain while Robert scolds him. Everybody also hears Shake and Frylock arguing while Meatwad was playing with his toys, everyone also heard Carl trying to flirt with a woman, they also hear Orchid beating Nick and Lance for something they did, and Tom arguing with Sarah, "*sigh* Looks like one of those days." Dommiel said, "Well, there's nothing we can do about it." Volvox replied, "It's not too bad, at least we're all on good terms with one another." the Count of Saint Germain said, "True, but I still worry about Tom, I don't think Sarah is the best wife for him." Volvox replied, his three roommates agreed. A whirling sound was heard outside and everyone heads out, "What is that noise?" Alice asked, they look and saw Frylock and Huey trying something, "What are you two doing?" Lance asked, "We have created a space and time warping device, if this works right, we will be able to find another world and transfer ourselves there." Frylock replied, "Alright! I wanna see Zucotti Manicotti!" Meatwad said, "Forget Zucotti Suck-a-cotti, take us to Venus." Shake replied, "Yeah, that's where all of those green skinned babes are at." Carl said, "Is that all you two think about?" Orchid asked, "I bet your husband and sons think that way, too." Shake replied, "He's right, we do." Harvey said, "Yeah, there's no denying it, I have those thoughts sometimes as well." Nick replied, "Are they about me?" Silver asked, "Maybe." Nick replied, "Don't deny it, Nick, we can all see your crush on Silver." Aero said, Mercer, Rock, and Alice laugh, "Maybe I have one on you, too, Aero." Nick replied, which made Aero blush, "Enough, Nick, you shouldn't waste your time thinking about such trivial things." Orchid said, "Didn't you think about that when you were our age?" Mercer asked, "No, I was thinking about how to survive and save our world from Egliatos." Orchid replied, "How about you, Harvey?" Rock asked, "Nope, no woman actually loved me until I met Orchid." Harvey replied, "You were the one who wanted to marry, I didn't mind too much." Orchid said, "Well, it's nice you two have a nice marriage, but I think you all are a bit too unfriendly with one another." Tom replied, "We just have different opinions from one another." Harvey said, "Are you falling in love with Orchid, Tom?" Sarah asked, "No, honey, I'm just saying I'd wish all of us would argue less often." Tom replied, "Well, the thing is set, here we go." Frylock said, and a beam shoots in the sky, "Ooh, I see something coming." Jazmine said, everyone looks and they see a man fall onto the road, surprising everyone, they saw it was Mr. Bean, one of the neighborhood's residents, "Hey, it's Mr. Bean." Meatwad said, "No, you mean it's Rowan Atkinson, I liked him better as Blackadder." Robert replied, "Wait, let's see how he acts." Huey said, and Mr. Bean wanders around and looks at everything with curiosity, "Oh, it is Mr. Bean, guy's an idiot." Robert said, "Now, Robert, I wouldn't say that, he's just a child in a man's body." Tom replied, "He's still an idiot." Riley said, "I know right, I'd bet he'll kill himself one day." Shake replied, "He already lost his girlfriend, he can't get any girls like me." Carl said, "I'd rather date him than date you and Shake." Orchid replied, "I'd like to go out with him, I think his antics are pretty cute." Jazmine said, "Now, now, Jazmine, Mr. Bean's too old for you, just because he acts like a kid doesn't mean he is one." Tom replied, "Okay, it's set, let's try this again." Huey said, and Mr. Bean began watching with curiosity, they use the device again and another person came down, but he floated in midair, it was Roger, another resident in the town. Roger was a teenage boy, he had slightly tan skin, an oblong face shape, short black hair, blue eyes, and wore a black business suit with a white long-sleeve button-up dress shirt with a collar, a black tie, black socks, and black dress shoes. Roger had the powers and abilities of thirty five gods, they were the gods of fire, water, earth, wind, heat, lava, ice, snow, stone, rock, wood, the weather, the atmosphere, lightning, light, darkness, angels, demons, the sun, the moon, the stars, space, time, speed, strength, endurance, flexibility, agility, courage, wisdom, magic, technology, truths, plants, and animals. Roger floats around and looks at them, "If you wish, I can use my powers to find another world." Roger said, "Sure, Roger, that would be really nice." Frylock replied, "Alright, here goes nothing." Roger said, and he uses his powers to make the device recharge immediately, he warps time and space and the entire neighborhood was teleported elsewhere. The residents of Ponyville were minding their own businesses until they sense something off, they notice it was near the Everfree Forest, they watch and see the neighborhood appear, surprising everyone, the first thing they saw was Volvox, who was three thousand feet tall, three hundred feet long, and three hundred fifty feet wide, the ponies walk forward carefully and see some of the other residents, "We've got company." Dommiel said, and they all look and see Equestria, they notice Princess Celestia and Princess Luna looking at them, "Wait a minute, I know this world, one of our neighborhood's residents came here once." Volvox said, surprising the ponies, and Volvox contacts the person telepathically. The Mane Six were about to enter the neighborhood and hear walking, "I'm here, guys." the human said, he looks and saw the Mane Six, "Phoenix!" Twilight Sparkle said happily, she and her five friends run to Phoenix Wright and hug him, "How've you been, buddy?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Great. Whoa, Twilight, you have wings." Phoenix replied, "Oh yeah, I got them after you left, I'm a princess now." Twilight Sparkle replied, "How about the rest of you?" Phoenix asked, "I'm a Wonderbolt now." Rainbow Dash replied, "I have a big cottage now." Fluttershy said, "Apple Bloom's got her cutie mark now." Applejack said, "I have opened more shops around Equestria, and I must say, I do like your new style of dressing, Phoenix." Rarity said, "And best of all, we're teachers now!" Pinkie Pie said, Phoenix smiled, "Well, congratulations." Phoenix said, "Phoenix!" two voices said happily, Phoenix looks and saw Apple Bloom and Scootaloo running to him, "Oh, hi there, I remember you two, too." Phoenix said, "It's nice to see ya again, we got our cutie marks." Apple Bloom said, and Phoenix saw them, "Oh yeah, you two were trying to get them when I last came here, congratulations." Phoenix replied, "Thank you." Apple Bloom and Scootaloo said happily, "Hey!" Sweetie Belle said as she ran to them, "Who is this?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Oh right, there's actually three of us, Phoenix, this is Sweetie Belle, y'all two didn't meet last time." Apple Bloom said, "Apple Bloom and Scootaloo talked about you, Phoenix, it's nice to finally meet you." Sweetie Belle said with a smile, "Nice to meet you, too, where's Spike?" Phoenix asked, he hears flying and saw Spike fly down, "I'm right here, Phoenix." Spike said, "What the? You too, Spike?" Phoenix asked, "Yes, just like me, Phoenix, Spike got wings while you were gone, too." Twilight Sparkle replied, Phoenix chuckled, they hear running and saw Starlight Glimmer coming, "What? Who is this?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "This is Phoenix, he defended Rainbow Dash in court long before we met you." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Phoenix Wright, defense attorney." Phoenix said, "Starlight Glimmer, I'm Twilight's apprentice." Starlight Glimmer replied, "Wow! You have an assistant now, too?!" Phoenix asked with surprise, "Yes, she's a good student." Twilight Sparkle replied happily, "So, how have you been, Phoenix?" Applejack asked, "I'm a father now." Phoenix replied, "What?!" the ponies and Spike asked with shock, "You heard me, my daughter's name is Trucy, and I'm a mentor to another attorney, her name's Athena, I had another one named Apollo, but he moved to a different country." Phoenix replied, "I wanna hear all about it!" Pinkie Pie said, the others agreed, "Alright, let's start." Phoenix replied, and they all talk about their experiences when they went their separate ways, "Wow, I never thought you would get disbarred." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, I'm back now, and still defending people in court." Phoenix replied, the ponies and Spike smiled, "So, how's Sonata been?" Phoenix asked, "Oh, about that, we actually don't know." Rainbow Dash replied, "Trixie's friends with us now, I'm her assistant." Starlight Glimmer said, "I'm surprised she turned a new leaf, I guess she's not a prosecutor anymore." Phoenix replied, "I never knew Trixie was a prosecutor." Starlight Glimmer said, "So, how has Professor Layton been?" Pinkie Pie asked, "I haven't contacted him in years." Phoenix replied, "You don't have an idea on what he's doing?" Rarity asked, "All I saw was the news saying he's gone missing." Phoenix replied, shocking the ponies and Spike, "Say, can we see where you work?" Spike asked, "Sure, follow me." Phoenix replied, and he leads them. Phoenix takes them to the Wright Anything Agency and they enter, "Trucy, Athena, I'm back." Phoenix said, "Hi, daddy." Trucy replied and she became shocked when she saw the ponies and Spike, "Everyone, meet Trucy, my daughter." Phoenix said, "Wow, you don't look like any of the other creatures living in the neighborhood." Trucy said, "Wait, who's there?" Athena asked and she ran to where she heard the voices, she was surprised to see the ponies and Spike, "This is Athena, she works under me." Phoenix said, "Hi, it's a pleasure to meet you two, I'm Twilight Sparkle, I once summoned Phoenix to my world to take a case." Twilight Sparkle said, "Wait, oh, I remember now, daddy has a picture of a rainbow horse." Trucy replied, "I remember that picture, too, I've always wondered what that picture was." Athena said, "I had to explain it to them, they misunderstood the picture and it led to them thinking I had some kind of fetish." Phoenix replied, "Are you talking about that picture of me? The one Ace Swift took?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "Yes, Rainbow Dash, that one." Phoenix replied, Rainbow Dash felt humiliated, "My life is ruined!" Rainbow Dash said, "There, there, Rainbow Dash, you don't need to feel that way, I already explained it all to them." Phoenix replied, Rarity noticed something, her eyes popped out of her sockets, "Phoenix, darling!" Rarity said, "Yes?" Phoenix asked, "Your hair! You have a spike sticking out on the front, it looks ridiculous!" Rarity said, "I've tried to fix it, but it keeps moving back in front of my face." Phoenix replied, "Then you shall come to my boutique, I think I might be able to fix it." Rarity said, "So, what do you two do?" Fluttershy asked, "I'm a magician." Trucy said, "And I'm an attorney, Mr. Wright's my boss." Athena said, the mares and Spike smiled, "I heard something about other creatures living in this neighborhood." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yes, not just humans live here, there's a lot of people here, you can see them from the window." Phoenix replied, and they look, they saw the Watterson family, which consisted of Gumball, Anais, Darwin, Nicole, and Richard, the Simpson family, which consisted Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Snowball, and Santa's Little Helper, the Griffin family, which consisted of Peter, Lois, Chris, Meg, Stewie, and Brian, they saw Glenn Quagmire, Cleveland Brown, and Joe Swanson with them as well, they also saw Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick waiting at a bus stop, Randy Marsh trying to give himself cancer, Yakko Warner, Wakko Warner, and Dot Warner running around the neighborhood, Rita and Runt traveling together, Buttons watching Mindy, Pinky and the Brain plotting something, Slappy Squirrel walking into the neighborhood, Black Dynamite running an orphanage, Dethklok performing a concert, Phineas and Ferb building something, a restaurant called Los Pollos Hermanos, a bar called Stray Sheep, a police station, and a tree house. The ponies and Spike were extremely surprised, "Wow, what a very diverse neighborhood you guys live in." Twilight Sparkle said, "It is, you guys should get going, I have a case to take." Phoenix replied, "Okay, well, we'll be leaving now, bye, Phoenix." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go out. The Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike walk and look around together, "So, what'd y'all think of this place?" Applejack asked, "Believe it or not, Applejack, but this place is extremely similar to the world Sunset Shimmer's staying in." Twilight Sparkle replied, "What?!" every other pony except Starlight Glimmer and Spike asked, "It is, this place is just like there." Spike replied, "Yes, it's very similar, I think we should call her over." Starlight Glimmer said, "Great idea, Starlight Glimmer, I think the other creatures should come here, too, it's so diverse." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they head home. The Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike head home but stop when Yakko, Wakko, and Dot stop in front of them, "Are you guys the new people?" Yakko asked, "Why yes, I'm Twilight Sparkle, this is Rainbow Dash, that's Applejack, this is Rarity, this is Pinkie Pie, that's Fluttershy, that's Starlight Glimmer, and that's Spike." Twilight Sparkle said, "We're the Warner brothers." Yakko and Wakko replied together, "And the Warner sister." Dot said, "Oh, you three look so cute." Fluttershy said, "Say, Twilight Sparkle, are you a vampire?" Yakko asked, "What? No." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I wonder if Stephenie Meyer named her." Yakko said, "What are your names?" Pinkie Pie asked, "I'm Yakko." Yakko said, "I'm Wakko." Wakko said, "And I'm cute." Dot said, her brothers look at her annoyed, "No, no, no, darling, your actual name." Rarity said, "I am Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fanna Bo Besca the Third, but you can call me Dot, but call me Dottie, and you die." Dot replied, "You're... a princess?" Rarity asked, "Yup." Dot replied, "Well, sorry, but we have to go, we were just here to say hi." Twilight Sparkle said, the three begin singing a welcome song to them, Pinkie Pie, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle began dancing with them, "Well, thank you, but we have to go." Twilight Sparkle said, and they leave, the Warner siblings wave bye at them and Princess Celestia was smiling, she was already liking the new area, the ponies and Spike arrive home and sleep for the day, excited about the neighborhood, Twilight Sparkle wrote to Sunset Shimmer and asked her to come, thinking she will like the new place. The next day comes and Sunset Shimmer arrived, "I'm here, what's this new place like?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "You're here, Sunset, this way." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she leads her to the neighborhood, the other creatures were there as well, to look, "Wow, it really does look like the place I'm staying at." Sunset Shimmer said, but her excitement died down when they heard arguing, "You keep failing your classes, boy, I don't feed you for free, you know." Robert said, "But granddad, I need to keep my gangsta image." Riley replied, "I don't care bout yo gangsta image, you will do better in school, and Yakko is going to tell you the nations of the world." and they were in the road with Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, Tom, Sarah, Jazmine, Harvey, Orchid, Nick, Lance, Mercer, Silver, Rock, Aero, Alice, Shake, Frylock, Meatwad, Carl, and Huey. The song starts Yakko starts singing Nations of the World, "United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Haiti, Jamaica, Peru, Republic Dominican, Cuba, Carribbean, Greenland, El Salvador, too.

Yakko sang, the world's natives clapped and the others looked back, Silver and Aero clapped as well, so did Lance, "That was awesome!" Rainbow Dash said, "ENCORE!!" Pinkie Pie yelled, "Uh, you missed some of the countries." Huey said, "Yeah, some of those names are outdated, too." Tom replied, "Wait, they are?" Yakko asked, "Yeah, I noticed that, too." Robert said, "They speak the truth, Yakko, Dommiel and I were alive long enough to see the name of the nations change throughout history." Volvox said, "Sorry, Yakko, but your song is out of date." Dommiel said, Yakko looked down, "Excuse me." Princess Celestia said, and she walks to them, "Who is in charge of this neighborhood?" Princess Celestia asked, everyone was speechless, "That's... not an easy question to answer." Orchid replied, "That's true, there's really no one in charge here." Frylock said, "Wait. A talking milkshake, a floating box of french fries, and a ball of meat?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "I'm Meatwad." Meatwad said, "Name's Frylock, and that's Shake." Frylock said, "Master Shake, you dummy!" Shake said, "He just called you a dummy, Frylock." Meatwad said, "I know, Meatwad." Frylock replied, "It does't matter if he calls ya a dummy, all three of you are dumb anyway." Carl said, the world's natives glare at him, "Who is this?" Princess Celestia asked, "That's Carl, he's just a grumpy neighbor." Robert replied, "I'm grumpy because you guys always playing that no good rap music! I can stand Huey though, cause he likes Elton John." Carl said, Rarity screamed with shock and ran to Carl, "What is this ridiculous outfit?!" Rarity asked as she looked at Carl's white tank top, light blue sweatpants, and green sandals, "Hey, it's just what I wear, nice and comfortable." Carl said, Rarity was disgusted by Carl's outfit, she thought it was ugly. Rarity looks past Carl and screamed with horror at what she saw, the others look and saw two men walking by, sagging their pants, and exposing their boxer shorts, "Sagging's a popular way to wear pants now." Huey said, "Sagging?!" Rarity asked, "What? Don't you like it?" Riley asked, "No! That is the ugliest fashion trend I have ever seen!" Rarity replied, "Well, you're just going to have to get used to it, then." Tom said, and Rarity looks on and saw almost every human in her sight sagging their pants, "Ugh, that is gross, no human in my world wears their pants like that." Sunset Shimmer said, "I couldn't agree more, that is ugly." Twilight Sparkle replied, the world's natives agreed. A car was heard and it crashes in the middle of the road, scaring the world's natives, they saw Mordecai and Rigby were driving the car, "Sorry, we're having difficulties." Mordecai said, "Whoa, we look far from the park." Rigby said, they look and see the park the two work at, Sunset Shimmer walked to them, "Excuse me, I'll drive it for you." Sunset Shimmer said, "Thanks, we'll give you the directions." Rigby replied, and Sunset Shimmer drove the car while the world's natives followed the car. The world's natives look around the neighborhood and saw many people, they saw Lucas Kane and Vincent Brooks in an apartment, they also saw Ethan Mars walking with Shaun, they notice Ethan had a bandage wrapped around his left pinky finger, they also saw Steven Universe walking around the neighborhood. Sunset Shimmer arrives at the park and parks the car for Mordecai and Rigby, they exited it afterwards, "Thanks, hopefully Benson doesn't yell at us." Mordecai said, "Yeah, it wasn't our fault that portal opened." Rigby replied, "Wait, what portal?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "A lot of things happen around here." Mordecai replied, "Yeah, trust us, we have crazy adventures all of the time." Rigby said, Fluttershy rubbed them, "You two are so cute, I wish I could adopt you guys." Fluttershy said, "Sorry, but I'm taken." Rigby replied, "I like living at the park." Mordecai said, "Say, do you guys have a place to get your driver's license?" Sunset Shimmer asked, Mordecai and Rigby become shocked, "What's the matter?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "You do not want to take the driver's test here." Mordecai replied, "Oh, come on, how bad can it be?" Sunset Shimmer asked, and Mordecai and Rigby lead her to the place people get their driver's license, it was called San Fierro Advanced Driving School, Sunset Shimmer saw the courses being driven and was extremely shocked at what they had to do, "Whoa, my driving test was super easy when compared to that one." Sunset Shimmer said, the world's natives see a person attempt the Alley Oop and crash, horrifying the world's natives, "What?! How are they supposed to pass that?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "That's not the one that gets most people, that one over there is." Rigby replied, and they see a person doing the Burn and Lap, "That one gets a lot of people, too." Mordecai said, and they see someone doing the City Slicking, only to fail when they stop, "What?! All that person did was hit the brakes." Sunset Shimmer said, "That doesn't matter in that test, in that one, once when you start, you have to keep going, if you slow down or stop, you fail." Mordecai replied, the world's natives were shocked, especially Sunset Shimmer, since she just got her driver's license after failing so many times, "We never did get your names." Spike said, "Mordecai." Mordecai replied, "Rigby." Rigby said, "Well, it was nice to meet you two, but we have to get going." Princess Celestia said, and they left. The world's natives walk together and look around the neighborhood, "I must say, this place has a lot of creatures." Princess Ember said, "Yes, and they're not living separately, everycreature here is living together peacefully." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Do you want them in the School of Friendship, Headmare Twilight?" Ocellus asked, "Well, yes, but I don't think I have enough room here for everycreature." Twilight Sparkle replied, Rarity exclaimed with shock, the others look and saw more humans up ahead sagging, much to the disgust of the world's natives, "Seriously, they should get rid of that fashion." Rainbow Dash said, the others agreed and they walk forward. The world's natives keep walking and they saw Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup flying around, "Whoa, they can fly, too." Rainbow Dash said, "Hi, there, we're the Powerpuff Girls." Bubbles said, everybody look at her and Twilight Sparkle, "What? We don't sound the same." Twilight Sparkle said, "Really? It sounds like you two have similar voices." Blossom replied, "Say? Do you guys have any awesome stories about your land?" Buttercup asked, "Ha, wait until you hear about our adventures and battles!" Rainbow Dash said, "Whoa there, another time, Rainbow Dash, we're just here to see the people." Applejack replied, "Well, it was nice meeting you guys, but we have to get going, Mojo Jojo's plotting something." Blossom said, and they fly away, Princess Celestia chuckled, "Those three look so cute." Princess Celestia said, "Hey, who are those guys?" Princess Luna asked, and they see Billy, Mandy, and Grim, "Hey, look, giraffes from that school we go to." Billy said, the world's natives were confused, "Ignore him, he's an idiot." Mandy said, "I'm just tagging along, don't mind me." Grim said, "What are your names?" Silverstream asked, "What's a name?" Billy asked, "*sigh* He's Billy, I'm Mandy, and that's Grim." Mandy said, "What are you supposed to be, Grim?" Scootaloo asked, "I am the grim reaper, I harvest the souls of those who die." Grim replied, "That's usually my job." Princess Luna said, "We have to get going now, we have things to do, let's go, you two." Mandy said, and she drags Billy and Grim with her, "I must say, she does not look like the friendly type." Rarity said, "I'm getting a bad feeling about her, too." Starlight Glimmer replied, "Hey! Look at those four guys over there!" Pinkie Pie said, and they see Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny standing at the bus stop, they go to them. The four boys see the world's natives coming to them, "Wow, after all of the things that happened in this neighborhood, things couldn't get any weirder." Stan said, "Weird things happen in this neighborhood?" Fluttershy asked, "Lady, you have no idea." Kyle replied, "Well, it isn't all that surprising, considering how many different types of creatures live here." Starlight Glimmer said, "You guys think they could be from that one place?" Cartman asked, "Probably, but we didn't see them there." Kyle replied, "Wait, where?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Kenny speaks in a muffled voice, "I don't think so, Kenny, they don't look like they're from Imaginationland." Stan said, "Did you say Imaginationland?!" Pinkie Pie asked excitedly, "Yeah, it's not a pleasant place, though." Stan replied, "Well, can you describe it?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Well, I found it by going after a leprechaun." Cartman replied, "What's a leprechaun?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I'll explain later." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Basically, it's place where all of the fictional characters created by our minds existed." Kyle said, "Ooh, that sounds exciting!" Pinkie Pie said, "Actually, the evil fictional characters killed the good fictional characters." Stan replied, "Seriously? That sounds like something from Discord's realm." Rainbow Dash said, Kenny spoke in a muffled voice, "What did he just say?" Applejack asked, "He asked who is Discord?" Kyle replied, "Why, that is me." Discord said, the four look at him, "Dude, you sound just like Q from Star Trek." Stan said, "Do I now? Must be a coincidence." Discord replied, "Well, it was nice meeting you four, but we have to go now." Princess Celestia said, and they leave. The world's natives travel together and see Rita and Runt in front of them, "Aw." Fluttershy said, she flew to the two, "You two look cute." Fluttershy said, "Yeah, thanks, flying horse." Rita replied in a deadpan tone, "They can talk?!" Silverstream asked with excitement, "Yeah, we can talk, definitely can talk." Runt replied, "What are you two doing?" Sandbar asked, "Just searching for a home." Rita replied, "Well, if you two wish, you can live at my cottage." Fluttershy said, "Eh, I guess, I suppose it wouldn't be too bad." Rita replied, "Yeah, good, definitely good." Runt said, "What's wrong with him?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Oh, he's just a bit slow." Rita replied, "It sounds like brain damage to me." Twilight Sparkle said, "What are your names?" Sweetie Belle asked, "I'm Rita, and this is Runt." Rita replied, "Well, we'll come back for you two, I'll lead you to my cottage later." Fluttershy said, "Alright, till next time, if we do meet again." Rita replied, the world's natives say bye to them while Runt walks away with Rita on his back. The world's natives keep walking and they see Bobby, Pesto, and Squit flying around, they soon come across Slappy Squirrel, "Hello." Fluttershy said, "What do you want?" Slappy Squirrel asked, "Are you abandoned, too?" Fluttershy asked, "No, I live in a tree, now buzz off." Slappy Squirrel replied, "Oh my, what a lovely hat you're wearing." Rarity said, "It ain't for sale, lady." Slappy Squirrel replied, "Uh, guys, I don't think she's friendly." Ocellus said, "Friendly, you say? Here, have some candy." Slappy Squirrel replied, and she gives Ocellus six lollipops, "Why, thank you." Ocellus said, and the lollipops exploded, making her all black, Slappy Squirrel laughed while the world's natives glared at her, "Now, that's comedy." Slappy Squirrel said, "No, it isn't." Pinkie Pie replied, "Who are you?" Princess Cadence asked, "Slappy Squirrel, retired comedian and cartoon character." Slappy Squirrel replied, "That wasn't funny." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, I have to get goin' now, I'm going to warn you all to watch the skies as you all travel here." Slappy Squirrel replied, and she leaves, "Wait, what's in the sky?" Applejack asked, and an anvil fell on her, she grunted as she squashed, the unicorns quickly use telekinesis to pick it up, Applejack was as flat as a pancake, but soon reverted back to her regular form, "You alright, Applejack?" Granny Smith asked, "Yeah, I'm fine, that really hurt, though." Applejack replied, "Come on, let's see who else is here." Twilight Sparkle said, the others agreed and they travel together. The world's natives look and see the Simpson family and go to them, "Hi there, you guys look so cute." Lisa said, "Why, thank you, darling." Rarity replied, "I've always wanted a pony." Lisa said, "Sorry, but we're not pets." Rainbow Dash replied, "Who is that over there?" Sandbar asked, "Oh, that's Bart, my big brother." Lisa replied, they see Bart was causing mischief and chuckling, "Hmm, it seems he could use some outside time." Twilight Sparkle said, "Don't get me started on him, he's always causing trouble." Lisa replied, "Who are you talking to, sweetie?" Marge asked as she came out, she saw the visitors, "Oh, you all must be from that area over there." Marge said, "Uh, not all of us, we're from around this world." Ocellus replied, Homer came out afterwards, "What happened to the mailman?" Homer asked, thinking the world's natives were mailmen, "Actually, I'm a mail pony." Derpy replied, Homer looked at Doctor Whooves, "Is that you, Doctor Who?" Homer asked, "Why, yes, I go by the name Doctor Whooves now." Doctor Whooves replied, "You know them, Doctor Whooves?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No, but I do know of the world they're from." Doctor Whooves replied, "I can't wait to explore this place, it looks amazing." Sunset Shimmer said, they hear a splat and saw Bart throwing balloons filled with ice cream at his neighbors, they saw it was Meg Griffin, she runs into her house while she exclaims with shock and Bart laughs, "Hey! That wasn't a nice a prank!" Pinkie Pie said, Bart threw one at her and she screamed, she licked the pink ice cream, "Hmm, strawberry." Pinkie Pie said, "I've got chocolate and vanilla, too." Bart replied, "Ooh, ooh, ooh, I want them." Pinkie Pie said while jumping up and down, "I don't think your son is well disciplined." Princess Celestia said, "I have tried many things, but none of them have worked." Marge replied, they hear a pacifier and saw Maggie crawl outside, "Aw." the females except for Princess Ember, Smolder, Yona, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack said, "That's Maggie, my baby sister." Lisa said, "She's so cute." Fluttershy replied, "We also have pets." Bart said, "Oh really? Please, I'd like to see them." Fluttershy replied, and they bring Snowball V and Santa's Little Helper, "Oh, you all have two pets." Rarity said, "This is Snowball V." Lisa said, "This is Santa's Little Helper." Bart said, "Santa's Little Helper?" Applejack asked, "That's what our son named him." Homer replied, "Who are you two?" Princess Luna asked, "I'm Homer, and this is my wife, Marge." Homer replied, "Well, it was nice to meet you all, we'll be leaving now." Princess Celestia said, and they go to the next house. The world's natives walk to the north and see the Griffin family, "Mom, dad, creatures from Meg's fairy tale books came out." Chris said, and the family comes out with guns, "Wait, no they're not, I don't read fairy tales." Meg replied, "Wait, they look like they're from the land around us." Brian said, the world's natives were shocked, "He can talk?!" Rarity asked, "Yeah, name's Brian, this is Chris, that's Peter, that's Lois, and that's Stewie." Brian replied, "You forgot her." Spike said, "Who?" Peter asked, "That girl in front of ya." Applejack replied in an annoyed tone, "She's not a part of the family." Lois said, "Yes, I am! I'm your only daughter!" Meg replied angrily, "I don't recall you being in the family, Meg." Stewie said, "A talking baby?!" Shining Armor asked with shock, Princess Cadence was shocked as well, "You got a problem with that?" Stewie asked, "No, it's just our baby doesn't know how to talk yet." Princess Cadence replied, and Flurry Heart burbled, "Ugh, she looks like the baby Rosemary gave birth to." Stewie said, "She looks more like a female Damien Thorn to me." Peter replied, the world's natives were confused, "Who are you guys talking to?" Cleveland asked as he walked out, Quagmire and Joe were there as well, "Who are those guys?" Ocellus asked, "Ugh, my husband's friends." Lois replied, "Hi there, I'm Glenn Quagmire, giggity." Quagmire said, "Cleveland Brown." Cleveland said, "Joe Swanson, police." Joe said, "Where do you guys live?" Rarity asked, "Our houses are in your sights." Joe replied, they look and see many other houses, but they looked empty, "That looks amazing over there." Twilight Sparkle said, everybody saw the roller coaster, "Whoa, a roller coaster." Rainbow Dash said, "I say we check it out." Sandbar said, the world's natives agreed and walked to it. The world's natives go to the roller coaster, "Oh, hi, guys." Phineas said as he waved at them, "Who are you two?" Fluttershy asked, "I'm Phineas, and that's Ferb." Phineas replied, Ferb waved at them, "What are you guys doing?" Smolder asked, "We're building the world's biggest roller coaster." Phineas replied, "Can I help?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's fine, we already got everything figured out." Phineas replied, "Yona wanna ride roller coaster." Yona said, the other yaks agreed, "Don't puke on yourself, Yona." Gallus said, "Look who's talking, Mr. Puke Shooter." Grampa Gruff said, they hear walking and saw Isabella, Baljeet, and Buford enter, "What cha doin'?" Isabella asked, "We're building the roller coaster." Phineas replied, "We just heard these guys want to ride it too." Buford said, "It will not work, we have to change everything so the parts can support their weight." Baljeet said, Phineas and Ferb stop, "Good point, alright, let's take it down and start over." Phineas said, "Call me when you all start, I'd like to help." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Okay, we have work to do, you all have to leave." Phineas said, and they do, "Oh, I can't wait for when they start, I want to help them." Twilight Sparkle said, "Me too, that looks fun to make." Sunburst replied, Princess Celestia laughed, "Well, let's go, I think we only have a few more to see." Princess Celestia said, and they walk on the road. The world's natives keep going and they see Buttons watching Mindy from his doghouse, they see the orphanage was up ahead and went to it, "What are you ugly looking monsters supposed to be?" Black Dynamite asked, "Uh, we just want to see who's here." Princess Celestia replied, "You just told Black Dynamite you wanna see who's here, so Black Dynamite ain't gonna show you who's here." Black Dynamite said, shocking the world's natives, "Fine, we don't wanna meet anyone anyway." Applejack said, "Don't you try to use that reverse psychology on me, like them white folk from the CIA, you actually wanna see who's inside, you told Black Dynamite, so Black Dynamite ain't showin' ya who's inside." Black Dynamite replied, Rarity was starting to growl with anger, "Who's out there, Black Dynamite?" Honey Bee asked as she stepped outside with Bullhorn, Cream Corn, and the women and children who inhabited the orphanage, "Ugh, I must say, the afros are not that attractive." Rarity said, "What you say bout my hair, girl?" Honey Bee asked, "Nothing, darling." Rarity replied with fear in her voice, "What are your names?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Bullhorn's my name, running the orphanage is my game." Bullhorn replied, "I'm Cream Corn, lady's man in charge." Cream Corn said while smiling and pointing his index fingers, "Honey Bee, hurt the kids, and I'll be on your behind." Honey Bee said, "This doesn't look like an appropriate setting for kids." Princess Cadence said, "While the women here are gettin' paid, the men who visit here are gettin' laid." Bullhorn replied, the world's natives groan with disgust, "This isn't appropriate for kids!" Rarity said, "Well, Black Dynamite needs someway to make money to keep this place runnin'." Black Dynamite replied, "Who is this Black Dynamite anyway?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "He's Black Dynamite, Black Dynamite likes to refer to himself in third person." Honey Bee replied, "That's just how he talks." Cream Corn said, "Well... we should get going." Twilight Sparkle said, the others agreed and they left, "Y'all notice somethin' about that Bullhorn guy?" Applejack asked, "Yeah, he talks just like Zecora." Rainbow Dash replied, "While he does talk in rhymes, I don't think he can instantly rhyme on a dime." Zecora said, "Let's go, just a few more." Princess Luna said, and they do. The world's natives keep walking and see Randy Marsh sitting outside, they go to him, "Huh? Who are you guys?" Randy asked, "We're from the land around you guys." Sunburst replied, "Oh, it's another one of those days." Randy said, "You guys don't sound surprised at seeing us." Princess Skystar said, "Trust me, we've seen a lot, this is nothing new to us." Randy replied, "What's your name?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Randy, I'm Stan's father, you met him back at the bus stop." Randy replied, "Oh, I know who you're talking about, it's nice to meet you." Sunset Shimmer said, "Uh, what are you doing?" King Thorax asked, since Randy was trying to give himself cancer, "It's... complicated to explain." Randy said, "Oh, well... we'll be going now." Ocellus replied, and they go to the next house, they saw Gumball and Darwin outside, "Oh, you two look so cute." Fluttershy said, "You guys new around here?" Gumball asked, "Hmm-mm, we're here to visit." Silverstream replied, "Well, I'm Darwin, and this is Gumball." Darwin said, "Are you a fish?" Fluttershy asked, "Yes, I grew legs, so I can walk on land." Darwin replied, "Wow, out of all of the animals I've seen, I've never seen a walking fish before." Fluttershy said, "Who's there?" Richard asked, he went to them, "Oh wow, you guys look just like the characters on our cereal box." Richard said, confusing everycreature except Sunset Shimmer, "What kind of cereal?" Sunset Shimmer asked, and Richard showed them, "That's a pig, dad." Gumball said, "What? It is? They look just like him." Richard replied, confusing the world's natives, "Does he have bad eyesight?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No, he's just dumb." Anais replied, "You are?" Princess Ember asked, "Anais, our sister, and smartest member of the family." Gumball replied, Anais smiled, the door opened and Nicole came out, "Oh, hi." Nicole said, the world's natives smiled, "That's our mom." Darwin said, "My name's Nicole, and I keep the family together." Nicole said, "Don't get on her bad side, she's has a bad temper." Gumball said, "What did you say about me?!" Nicole asked angrily, her face turns red and fire comes out, shocking the world's natives, "Uh... we'll be going now." Sandbar said, and they left while Watterson family tried to calm Nicole down, "Okay, that's the last place." Princess Celestia said, they look at the tree house, they were in awe. The world's natives go to it, and look on, "There's a bunch of rainbow monkeys coming to invade us." a male voice said, "Those aren't rainbow monkeys, they're... I don't know what they are." another male voice replied, "They seem to be new type of creatures we have never encountered, keep your guards up." a third male voice said, "Calm down, Numbah One, they don't look like they're here to harm us." a female voice replied, "I like the pastel colored ponies there, I'd like to have one." another female voice said, "Uh, excuse us." Twilight Sparkle said, and the five kids come out, "Who are you guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We are Sector V of the Kids Next Door, I'm Numbuh One, this sector's leader." Nigel replied, "I'm Numbuh Two, Sector V's two by four technology officer." Hoagie said, "I'm Numbuh Three, Sector V's diversionary tactician and medic, and you all look so cute." Kuki said, "I'm Numbuh Four, Sector V's hand-to-hand combat expert, and you all look like a bunch of rainbow monkeys to me." Wally said, "I'm Numbuh Five, Sector V's former leader and current second-in-command and spy." Abby said, "What? Why, you all are named after numbers." Rarity said, "They are our code names, we cannot reveal our real names." Nigel replied, "So, what is this Kids Next Door thing?" Rainbow Dash asked, "We are an interplanetary organization that battle the tyranny and cruelty of adults, so kids can be free from their cruelty and have fun being a kid." Nigel replied, the world's natives were confused, "You guys just said you're interplanetary, right?" Sandbar asked, "Yes, it is our job to make sure kids do not suffer under adults, we are just one sector of the entire organization, we have members all over our home world as well." Nigel replied, "Uh... I think... you guys are taking it a bit too far." Sunset Shimmer said, "Too far?! Our main enemy has fire powers!" Wally replied, "Fire powers, as in?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "He has literal pyrokinesis." Hoagie replied, shocking the world's natives, "Who is this fire magic using guy?" Grampa Gruff asked, "He's just known to us as Father." Abby replied, "Father?" Applejack asked, "Yes, he's a big meanie." Kuki replied, "What is he doing?" Ocellus asked, "He wants to destroy all kids stuff, so adults can rule the world with an iron fist." Nigel replied, "Destroy things for kids? That sounds hard to believe." Fluttershy said, "Maybe you'll change your mind when you do meet him." Hoagie replied, "Well, you kids go on and have fun with your games, we have to go home now." Princess Celestia said, and they do. The world's natives head back but stop when they see a multi-armed statue carved into the side of a mountain close to a beach, there was a house there as well, "Wait, what is that?" Princess Ember asked, "I'm curious as well, let's check it out really quickly." Princess Celestia replied, and Princess Celestia knocks on the door and it opens, they saw Steven Universe, "Yes?" Steven asked while smiling, "Oh, I remember you, I saw you walking around in the neighborhood." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, I saw you, too." Steven replied, "What's your name?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "I'm Steven, I live here with Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl." Steven replied, "My, what lovely names." Rarity said, "Who's out there, Steven?" Pearl asked as she stepped out with Garnet and Amethyst, surprising the world's natives, the dragons felt their mouths water, "What are you guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, "We are the Crystal Gems." Garnet replied, "We have been fighting and protecting this world for thousands of years." Amethyst said, "This world?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Yeah, they're aliens from another planet." Steven replied, "And you're a human?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Half human, my mom was the Crystal Gems' leader." Steven replied, "Where is your mother?" Princess Cadence asked, "Rose... gave up her life to give birth to Steven." Pearl replied, the world's natives were sympathetic, "Who's out there?" Bismuth asked, she came out along with Greg, "This is Bismuth, and my dad." Steven said, "Whoa, your hair looks awesome!" Rainbow Dash said as she looked at Bismuth's hair, "Hey guys, I run the car wash shop in this neighborhood." Greg said, "Where is it? Oh, there it is." Sunset Shimmer said, and they see the car wash, "Well, it's nice to meet you all, but we really have to go back home now." Princess Celestia said, "Alright, have a safe trip." Steven replied, "Why, thank you, I can already tell you're a good kid." Rarity replied, Steven smiled, and the world's natives began to head back home. The world's natives arrive back at where Volvox and the others lived, "Okay, you all are the last ones, go on and introduce yourselves?" Princess Celestia said, "I'm Young Reezy." Riley replied, "Young Reezy?" Applejack asked, "That's just what he calls himself, his name is Riley, I'm Huey, and that's our granddad." Huey replied, "Robert Freeman, at your service." Robert said, "Where are your parents?" Princess Cadence asked, "They died in an accident." Huey replied, "Where is grandma?" Yona asked, "We don't have a grandmom." Riley replied, "Who is this cute little angel here?" Princess Luna asked while smiling, "I'm Jazmine, I've always wanted a pony." Jazmine said, the ponies chuckle, "I'm Sarah, her mother." Sarah said, "And I'm Tom Dubois, district attorney and her father." Tom said, "Oh, you have the same job as Phoenix." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yes, but we don't work on the same cases together." Tom replied, "What about you guys?" Pinkie Pie asked, "I'm Mercer, former criminal turned hero." Mercer replied, "Name's Silver, I'm of noble blood." Silver said, "Rock, ex-military." Rock said, "Aero, homeless thief turned hero." Aero said, "I'm Alice, the one who was chosen to take down a villain, and unite these four." Alice said, "Where are you all from?" Gilda asked, "Oh, we're from another world, ours was full of magic." Aero replied, "Really? Our world has magic, too." Twilight Sparkle said, "Please, do tell us, what's magic like in your world?" Princess Celestia asked, "We have five elements, each element is controlled in one kingdom, Mercer's from the fire kingdom, Silver's from the water kingdom, Rock's from the earth kingdom, Aero's from the wind kingdom, and I'm from the lightning kingdom." Alice replied, "What are you guys?" Gabby asked, "I'm a magperson." Mercer replied, "A ningen." Silver said, "I'm a golem." Rock said, "I'm an aviator." Aero said, "I'm a human." Alice said, "What other creatures are in your world?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Humans who learn fire, water, earth, or wind magic evolve into different species', fire using humans become giants, water using humans become merfolk and nymphs, earth using humans become dwarfs, and wind using humans become elves and fairies, lightning using humans remain human." Aero replied, "Oh, that's nice to hear, who are you four?" Sunburst asked, "*sigh* I'm Orchid, this is Harvey, my husband, Nick, our son, and Lance, Nick's best friend, who he adopted." Orchid replied, "I'm sensing a lot of magic from her, everycreature." Princess Luna said, Orchid holds her right hand out and she shot a yellow beam with gray rocks in it out of her thumb, a small green tornado out of her pinky finger, red and orange fire out of her ring finger, blue water out of her index finger, and purple lightning out of her middle finger, Princess Cadence jumped in front of the five beams and activated a light blue shield, they disappeared after a few seconds, "There you have it, I'm from their world, too, I was one of the court wizards for that world's royal family." Orchid said, "Well, if you wish, Orchid, maybe you and our world can work together to create new magic." Princess Celestia said, "I'm not sure about that, I can tell your world's magic is completely different from our world's magic." Orchid replied, "What about you, Harvey and Lance?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We're from another world, too, but not the same world as these six, the one we're from is filled with technology, the natives there are humans, mutants, machines, and aliens called devilgors." Lance replied, "What happened to you two?" Shining Armor asked, "Experimented on against our wills, we were created to be the Ultimate Being, but since we became hybrids in the process, we were shunned and hunted down by that world's society to be killed, hybrids in my wife's world are admired instead." Harvey replied, "Ultimate Being?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Basically, be what we are, but also have your memories erased and brainwashed, that world's top scientist was planning to make us serve as his slave and personal assassin." Lance replied, "How many Ultimate Beings are there?" Rarity asked, "Three, I'm Ultimate Being One." Harvey replied, "I'm Ultimate Being Three." Lance said, "Wait a sec, who's Ultimate Being Two?" Applejack asked, and Nick flexed his arm muscles and his jacket, shirt, and boots ripped, while his pants ripped to halfway up his calves, he had the same mutations as Harvey and Lance, "I am." Nick replied, "So, why are there three of you guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I broke out and escaped, and fought my world's government before they could erase my memory and brainwash me." Harvey said, "They made me into one to replace my dad, but I broke free before they could erase my memory and brainwash me." Nick said, "My parents volunteered me against my will to be the third one after Nick escaped, but he saved me before they could erase my memory and brainwash me." Lance said, "I see, it's nice to see you three are safe, but we have to see the last four, it's late." Princess Celestia replied, and they go to them, "What's your name?" Pinkie Pie asked Giovi, he did not respond, "This is Giovi, he's a ghoul, last of his kind, he's not the type to talk, he believe his actions do the talking." the Count of Saint Germain said, "And you are?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "I am the Count of Saint Germain, I'm a time traveler." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "A time traveler?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, I am from three hundred years in the past, I came to this time to see my friends again." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Ah, how wonderful, and you two are?" Princess Celestia asked, "Dommiel, I'm a demon, my kind used to serve under Volvox here, and I was his second-in-command." Dommiel replied, "And you're Volvox, right?" Sunburst asked, "Yes." Volvox replied, "What are you?" Princess Ember asked, "The very first creature to ever exist on Earth, I used to be the supreme ruler of the world we're from, I retired about three hundred years ago." Volvox replied, "You look... familiar to me." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Now that you mention it, you look familiar, too." Volvox replied, "Ugh, I know how it is to have bad memory at old age." Grampa Gruff said, "Wait a minute, you look familiar, too." Volvox said, shocking the world's natives. The world's natives hear someone and saw a man acting like a little kid, "Who is that?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Oh, that's just Mr. Bean, he's a kid in an adult's body." Dommiel replied, Princess Celestia chuckled as she watched him, "I think he'd be a wonderful entertainer for the colts and fillies in Equestria, we should let him come over one day." Princess Celestia said, and the world's natives left the neighborhood and went home. The Mane Six, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer walk together, "I like that place, it's really nice over there." Applejack said, "Me too, I can't believe how many different types of creatures live there." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Me neither, they've got humans, a big Cerberus-like guy, a demon, a ghoul, humanoid cats, humanoid rabbits, a humanoid fish, a talking dog, a talking baby, a talking squirrel, and whatever those three Warner siblings are." Sunset Shimmer said, "I must say, I have never so many diverse creatures living in one area." Rarity said, "I have." Fluttershy replied, "That's because you live in a place full of animals, Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash said, "Isn't it exciting? So many creatures to be friends with!" Pinkie Pie said loudly, "I do not like their clothes, though, I find that sagging fashion to be disgusting." Rarity replied, the others agreed, "Well, it is nice to see Phoenix again." Spike said, "Phoenix?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Oh right, you haven't met him, yet, we'll show you him tomorrow." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I feel just like back in your world, Sunset." Starlight Glimmer said, "I feel that way, too." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Well, it's almost dark, let's get some sleep." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all go to sleep. Night time comes and the world's natives were woken up early in the night from chatting and glass clanging from the neighborhood, they look and see everybody at the Stray Sheep bar, so they go. The world's natives enter while Dragon Lord Torch crawled in partially, "Are those the new guys?" an unknown man with a brown jacket asked, "Yeah, that's them." Tom replied, the world's natives sees the people they've met already inside, along with new people, they were all either eating or drinking, "What is this place?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "This is the Stray Sheep bar, we all come here at night to relax after a long day." Volvox replied, "I must say, what a fancy bar." Rarity said, "Oh, there's Phoenix, this way, Sunset." Twilight Sparkle said, and the Mane Six go to him with Sunset Shimmer and Trixie. Phoenix was sitting with Athena and Trucy, the two were eating pizza, "Phoenix." Twilight Sparkle said, and Phoenix looks at them, "This is Sunset Shimmer, I met her after you left our world." Twilight Sparkle said, "Wait, another world?!" Phoenix asked, "Yup, the world I'm staying in is almost just like this one." Sunset Shimmer replied, "You know her, daddy?" Trucy asked, "Actually, no, but I know this one." Phoenix replied, "Feast your eyes upon the Great and Powerful Trixie." Trixie said, "Ooh, ooh, maybe we can do shows together." Trucy said, "Maybe." Phoenix replied while thinking about it, "How do you know her, boss?" Athena asked, "She's this land's prosecutor." Phoenix replied, "You're a prosecutor?!" Athena asked with shock, "One of Trixie's many jobs." Trixie replied, "We have three district attorneys in this neighborhood." Phoenix said, "You're one, and Tom's one, who's the third one?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "That's him right there." Phoenix replied as he pointed his left index finger to a man with short brown hair and a gray business suit, "Who is that?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Jimmy McGill." Phoenix replied, "Well, let's go see him." Twilight Sparkle said, and they do while Starlight Glimmer, Spike, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and the Student Six joined them. Jimmy McGill was conversing with an old man and a black man, "Excuse us." Twilight Sparkle said, and the three look at them, "We're from the world around here, who are you guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Jimmy McGill, district attorney at law." Jimmy said, "Mike Ehrmantraut, head of Los Pollos Hermanos' security." the old man said, "Oh yeah, we saw that when we were exploring." Spike said, "I am the restaurant's owner, Gustavo, but you can call me Gus." the black man replied, "What do you guys serve?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "The neighborhood's best chicken, one taste and you will know." Gus replied, the ponies were very uncomfortable with eating chicken or meat in general, "What are you guys doing here?" Sweetie Belle asked, "The same reason as everyone else here, we're here to unwind after a long day." Mike replied, "So, you're all here every night?" Scootaloo asked, "Pretty much, yeah, we just talk about our days." Jimmy replied, "That's cool, but we have to get going now." Rainbow Dash said, "Good day then, it was a pleasure to meet you all." Gus replied, "Thank you, and I must admit, Jimmy and Gus, your outfits look lovely." Rarity said, "Thanks, I have a closet full of them." Jimmy replied, Rarity chuckled and they went to the man sitting to Gus' right, he had a black sleeveless jacket on, "Sons of Anarchy, MC, California?" Twilight Sparkle asked with confusion, "Oh, I know what he is, he's a member of a motorcycle club." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Uh, motorcycle?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I'll tell you later, I've rode one before, it's awesome." Sunset Shimmer replied, the man turns around and looks at them, "What can I get you ladies?" the man asked, Fluttershy cowered in fear, the scars on his cheeks scared her, "Who are you?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Name's Chibs, I'm the president of the Sons of Anarchy motorcycle club." the man replied, "What happened to your cheeks?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Got cut by knives there many years ago by an old enemy." Chibs replied, "Oh, well, um, what do you and your club do?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Can't share, it's not appropriate for kids." Chibs replied, "Oh, I must say, that's a nice beard and moustache you have." Rarity said, "Thank you, I work a lot to keep it like this." Chibs replied, "Well, was nice to meet you, Chibs, but we have to get going." Twilight Sparkle said, "Enjoying the customers so far?" the bartender asked, the world's natives look at him and see he had on a white long-sleeve dress shirt with a collar, a black bow tie under the collar, a white double breasted jacket with three buttons at the end of each sleeve, black pants, and brown dress shoes, he had an oblong face shape with a triangular shaped chin, he had short but well groomed gray hair, and a thin gray moustache, one thing the world's natives thought was strange was that he was wearing sunglasses, "Who is this?" Ocellus asked, "This is the bartender." Mike replied, "We don't know his name, so we just call him Boss." Jimmy said, "Would you all like a drink?" Boss asked, "What are you serving?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Rum and cola, whiskey, sake, or beer." Boss replied, "Sorry, but we don't drink alcohol." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Well, go on then, since you wish to see everyone here." Boss said, and they do. The world's natives hear arguing and see Bart arguing with a woman with short red hair and was wearing a yellow dress, "You know the rules, Bart, no alcohol for children." the waitress said, "Come on, Erica, you know I'm only ten years old in body, I'm actually twenty nine years old." Bart replied, "Nope, you're still a child, no alcohol for you." Erica said, "Come on now, you can serve me some alcohol." Riley said, "I'd like a martini." Brian said, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no alcohol for dogs, either." Erica replied, "Oh." Bart said with disappointment, "Can I have a doughnut?" Homer asked, "Doughnut shop is further down the street." Erica replied, "D'oh!" Homer said, and Erica walked back. The Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Student Six, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Spike walk to the booths and bumped into Erica, "You guys the new people?" Erica asked, "Why, yes, we are." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I'm Erica, I'm the waitress here." Erica said, "Oh, I think your outfit could use a redesign." Rarity said, "I like it the way it is." Erica replied, "That reminds me, Boss, can I use your outfit as inspiration for one of my fashion shows?" Rarity asked, "Yes, go on right ahead." Boss replied, "Why, thank you, darling, I cannot say how much I like your outfit." Rarity said, Boss smiled, and they went to the next nearest man, who was playing the Rapunzel arcade game, "Excuse us." Twilight Sparkle said, and he turned around, he had dyed blond hair, "Hi." the man said, they look and saw he had a Teacher of the Year Award with him, "Ei...ki...chi?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Eikichi Onizuka, I'm a teacher at this neighborhood's school." the man said, "Oh, you're a teacher?! These six here are our teachers." Silverstream replied, "What do you teach?" Onizuka asked, "Friendship." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I like the sound of that." Onizuka said, "Well, we'll be looking forward to see how you teach." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they go near the jukebox, they saw the Powerpuff Girls with a man, "Oh, hi there, nice to see you all again." Bubbles said, "Who is this?" Fluttershy asked, "I am Professor Utonium, the girls' creator and father, I'm a scientist." the man replied, "Really? That's amazing, maybe you and I can make some inventions together." Twilight Sparkle said, "Uh, where is the mother?" Rarity asked, "We don't have a mother." Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup replied together, "Oh, well, professor, if you want, we can act as a surrogate mother for them." Fluttershy said, "It's fine, but thank you." Professor Utonium replied, and they walk away. The Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer go to the four men they saw inside first, "Oh, hello." the man in the brown jacket said, "Hello." Sandbar replied, "What are yer names?" Apple Bloom said, "I'm Vincent." the man with the small black afro replied, "I'm Orlando, lady's man." the man with the red hat said, "Name's Jonny." the man in the brown jacket said, "And I'm Toby." the man in the blue jumpsuit said, "You okay, Vincent? You don't look so good." Ocellus said, "Sorry, I've been having problems." Vincent replied, "What kind of problems?" Smolder asked, "His girlfriend wants to tie the knot and marry him, but he isn't ready for that." Jonny replied, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence were surprised, and they walk to him, "Vincent?" Shining Armor asked, Vincent looks at the two, "Do you plan to marry her as well?" Shining Armor asked, "Well, I'm comfortable where we are now, but she isn't." Vincent replied, "What is your girlfriend's name?" Princess Cadence asked, "Katherine." Vincent replied, "You should talk to her, Vincent, let her know how you feel." Princess Cadence said, "I know, I know, but I'm worried about what she'll say." Vincent replied, "Well, good luck on yer romance, sugar cube, Ah'm sure she'll come around." Applejack said, "Hey, how has the investigation been coming along, guys?" Jonny asked two males across from him and his friends, "Still no leads, we haven't found anything." a man with a revolver said, "Nope, I haven't found anything, either." a man with a knife said, "Who are those two?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Harry Callahan and Dexter Morgan, the two best cops in our law enforcement." Volvox replied, "We're getting a third cop transferred to us soon, she should be here soon." Dexter said, Dragon Lord Torch sees a woman, she had on a black leather jacket, blue jeans, brown shoes, a white shirt, blue eyes, and scapula length blonde hair, he moved out of the way so she can enter. Everybody sees her, "Is this the place?" the woman asked, "Are you the transfer cop?" Dommiel asked, "Yes, Aya Brea, police." the woman replied, "Callahan and Morgan are over there." the Count of Saint Germain said, and she went to them, "Uh, is something going on?" Rainbow Dash asked, "There has been a lot of deaths recently, men who are over thirty and have cheated on their wives or girlfriends have been dying in their sleep recently." Volvox replied, shocking the world's natives, Shining Armor was especially uncomfortable, "You know, that Mike guy over there used to be a cop too, he retired years ago." Huey said, surprising the world's natives, "How did you get here, even though we transferred to another world?" Harry asked, "I stayed at the apartment that Vincent guy over there stays at, I met the other three residents there as well." Aya replied, "Other three residents?" Pinkie Pie asked, "She's talking about us." a man said in the booth behind Volvox and Dommiel, they saw the man, there was another man there, he had a bandage on his left pinky finger, and a boy, "You are?" Yona asked, "Lucas Kane." the man replied, they see the man with the bandage on his left pinky finger had a Father of the Year award, they see his name was Ethan Mars, "Oh my, a Father of the Year award, how did you get that, Ethan?" Rarity asked, "I don't wanna talk about it." Ethan replied, "And who is this cute little feller here?" Applejack asked, "I'm Shaun, Ethan's my dad." the boy replied, "Where is your mom?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Mom and dad divorced." Shaun replied, "Aren't you a bit young to be here?" Gallus asked, "Some of the people here are younger than me." Shaun replied, and they look around and saw he was right. The world's natives hear arguing and saw three boys, they go to them, "Hey, look, it's my sister Sarah's old pets." the tall boy said, "We're not pets." Rainbow Dash replied, "Yeah, get it right, you dummy." the short boy said, "Guys, relax, I think they're just here to see hi." the boy with the hat said, "Who are you guys?" Sandbar asked, "That's Ed, I'm Edd with two Ds, I'm known as Double D, and that's Eddy." the boy with the hat replied, "They're from the neighboring neighborhood to this one's left, they must've been here when we got transferred." Volvox said, a pod spaceship in and surprises everyone, they saw a man and a boy, "Damn it, Morty, you crashed again." the man said, "I don't understand, Rick, I did what you said." Morty replied, "Wait a minute." Rainbow Dash said, and she goes to them, "I remember you two, you guys were at the roller coaster in Las Pegasus." Rainbow Dash said, "Yeah, we were, *burp* I didn't see you, though. *burp*" Rick replied, Rarity exclaimed with disgust, "We have a neighborhood to the right as well, they'll come here if bad things happen." Volvox said, "How many more people are there?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Those four over there are the last ones, they're from another country." Dommiel replied, he pointed his right index finger to four guys sitting on the floor. The Mane Six go to them, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, they look at them, "Who are you guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I am Takeshi Hongo." one man said, "Hayato Ichimonji." another man said, "You can just call me Taki." the third man said, "And I'm Tachibana." the last man said, "What brings you guys here?" Fluttershy asked, "We have found activity of Shocker in this neighborhood, they are a criminal organization trying to change everyone into cyborgs so they can rule the world." Takeshi replied, "Well... good luck on them, y'all." Applejack said, and they go back. Dragon Lord Torch sees a man coming and he moves out of the way to let him in, everybody sees him, and everybody bowed to him except for Aya and the world's natives, "Who is that?" Aya asked, "Vito Corleone, the most powerful person in the neighborhood." Volvox replied, "My, I must say, what a lovely outfit and rose you have there." Rarity said, "Thank you, I have heard about you newcomers, and welcome to the neighborhood." Vito replied, and he goes around and everybody kisses his right hand, "What are you guys doing?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It is how we greet him." Jazmine replied, surprising the world's natives, he sat, Erica took Vito's orders and he had a glass of red wine. The world's natives look around and see there was plenty of people, a stage appears and everybody watches, "And now, for your first form of entertainment, a song, featuring the Great Wakkorotti and Mr. Methane." a male announcer said, the curtains raises while everybody clapped, they saw Wakko and a man in a green costume and purple shorts laying down with his legs up. Yakko plays La Donna E Mobile on the piano and Wakko burps the song while Mr. Methane farts the song, Rarity exclaimed with great shock while the people in the bar, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Big Macintosh, Sandbar, Gallus, Yona, Smolder, Ocellus, Silverstream, Limestone Pie, Doctor Whooves, Derpy, Grampa Gruff, Gilda, Gabby, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna laughed, the others were neutral, "You suck, Mr. Methane, Black Dynamite can let out bigger farts than you." Black Dynamite said, everybody shushed him, they continued until they finished and everybody clapped, they walked off of the stage, "Our next performance is by Mr. Bean." an announcer said, and Mr. Bean appeared on stage as the curtain raised, Mr. Bean does things without speaking and caused trouble, everybody laughed at Mr. Bean's performance, he was hitting a shopping bag full of groceries with a golf club because there was a golf ball in it, and he could not touch it, Mr. Bean got the golf ball in the end and everybody clapped as the curtains went down, Mr. Bean runs around on stage and everybody laughs until he was taken off, "Next up is Courage the Cowardly Dog." the announcer said, and everybody saw him, "A pink dog?" Applejack asked with surprise, "I think he's pretty." Fluttershy said, and Courage performs magic tricks, everybody clapped, Courage bowed and went off the stage, "Our next performance is by Uncle Ruckus." the announcer said, and everybody saw him, Rarity exclaimed with shock, "Look at how fat he is." Rarity said, "Good evening, y'all, my name is Uncle Ruckus, no relation..." Uncle Ruckus said, he begins saying racist things, which shocked everyone, the world's natives covered the ears of the younger ones since Uncle Ruckus said inappropriate things and used swear words, he finished and went off the stage, "Last performance tonight is by Roger." the announcer said, and Roger appeared as the curtains went up, Roger makes fire, water, earth, and wind float around, shocking the world's natives, "Twilight, and the rest of you, be careful, I'm sensing tremendous power from him." Princess Celestia said, "Well, that's pretty much everyone, the only people left here are those animals there." Volvox said, and they all saw Slappy Squirrel again, along with Skippy Squirrel. The world's natives were shocked by how many people there were, they saw Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, Tom DuBois, Sarah DuBois, Jazmine DuBois, Huey Freeman, Riley Freeman, Robert Freeman, Uncle Ruckus, Black Dynamite, Bullhorn, Cream Corn, Honey Bee, Shake, Frylock, Meatwad, Carl Brutananadilewski, Homer Simpson, Marge Simpson, Bart Simpson, Lisa Simpson, Maggie Simpson, Snowball V, Santa's Little Helper, Peter Griffin, Lois Griffin, Chris Griffin, Meg Griffin, Stewie Griffin, Brian Griffin, Glenn Quagmire, Cleveland Brown, Joe Swanson, Rick Sanchez, Morty Smith, Phineas Flynn, Ferb Fletcher, Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, Baljeet Tjinder, Buford Van Stomm, Gumball Watterson, Darwin Watterson, Anais Watterson, Nicole Watterson, Richard Watterson, Bubbles, Blossom, Buttercup, Professor Utonium, Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, Kenny McCormick, Randy Marsh, Mordecai, Rigby, Ed, Edd, Eddy, Nigel Uno, Hoagie Gilligan, Kuki Sanban, Wally Beetles, Abby Lincoln, Eikichi Onizuka, Lucas Kane, Ethan Mars, Shaun Mars, Phoenix Wright, Athena Cykes, Trucy Wright, Jimmy McGill, Mike Ehrmantraut, Gus Fring, Chibs Telford, Vito Corleone, Takeshi Hongo, Hayato Ichimonji, Kazuya Taki, Tobei Tachibana, Mr. Bean, Harry Callahan, Dexter Morgan, Aya Brea, Yakko Warner, Wakko Warner, Dot Warner, Bobby, Pesto, Squit, Buttons, Mindy, Rita, Runt, Slappy Squirrel, Skippy Squirrel, Billy, Mandy, Grim, Steven Universe, Greg Universe, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Bismuth, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Vincent Brooks, Orlando Haddick, Jonny Ariga, Toby Nebbins, Erica Anderson, Boss, Harvey, Orchid, Nick, Lance, Alice, Mercer, Silver, Rock, Aero, and Roger. Closing time comes and it was time for everyone to go home, and they did, everybody was leaving, "Twilight, and the rest of you, be very careful, I'm getting feelings of suspicion from Gus and that bartender, I believe those two are hiding very dark secrets." Princess Celestia said, the world's natives took note of it and they all headed home for the night. Princess Luna enters the dream realm and watches the dreams, "Ah, another beautiful night." Princess Luna said, and she looks at the dream realm, the dreams of the neighborhood were also in her dream realm since they were merged with Ponyville. Princess Luna watches the dreams but soon noticed something very off, "What the?! What is this?!" Princess Luna asked with shock, she saw a dream and noticed a lot of people there, she saw Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, Carl, Phoenix, Mr. Bean, Yakko, Wakko, Vincent, Orlando, and Jonny in the dream, they were all pushing blocks around and climbing, there were sheep there as well. Princess Luna tries to use her magic and enter the dream, but she could not, "What kind of sorcery is this?!" Princess Luna asked, she tried to enter but was denied every time, which angered her, her anger eventually fuses all dreams together, the ponies of Equestria go to Princess Luna to see her, "What's wrong, Princess Luna?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I am trying to enter this dream here so I can fix it, but I am being denied access!" Princess Luna replied, they look and see the dream, much to their shocks, "What in tarnation?" Applejack asked, "Look, there's Phoenix!" Pinkie Pie said, "Why are they climbing for, though?" Spike asked, they hear falling and saw the bottom of the place was falling, Volvox and Dommiel were the first ones to make it to the top, Volvox uses his telekinesis to bring everybody up. Everybody rested and Vincent went to them to support them and encourage them to move on, "Thanks, Vincent, we'll rest here for now, you go on ahead." Phoenix said, and they saw Vincent enters a booth, "We meet again, lost little lamb." a male child's voice said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's just skip the greetings and get to the question." Vincent said, "Very well, here's the question." the child's voice replied, "This is the question." a male voice said, the ponies realize it was the same voice as the one that announced the shows in the Stray Sheep, "You must kiss one of these. Choose." the voice said, and two ropes came down, which scared Vincent, they both had white words in front of them, "A cephelopod-like alien." the rope to Vincent's right said, "A beautiful corpse." the rope to Vincent's left said, Rarity exclaimed with shock, "Neither one is appealing!" Rarity said, "I think he has to choose one, Rarity." Applejack replied, and Vincent chose the cephelopod-like alien, "So that's your answer, interesting." the child's voice said, "Just take me to the next level already." Vincent replied, "Very well, up we go." the child's voice said, and they do. Vincent arrives at the next area and it was snowing with ice blocks, Vincent tries to run but he slides on the ice, "Hey, that looks fun." Pinkie Pie said, the other males soon arrived and they all climb together, along with pushing the blocks and they connect at the edges, "What the? That defies the laws of physics." Twilight Sparkle said, "I don't think this is an ordinary dream, it seems some kind of magical being is making them have them." Princess Luna replied, Vincent keeps climbing and made several sheep fall to the bottom, they screamed as they fell, it shocked the ponies, they also saw blocks with spikes, which activated when someone stepped on them, and dark blocks that were heavy, they soon heard a bell ringing, "Little more." Vincent said, and he keeps climbing, "I made it!" Vincent said as cheering was heard, "Here I go." Vincent said as he pulled the chain, and stairs appeared, "Yeah." Vincent said, and he climbed to the next floor. Vincent arrives at the landing and saw the others were there, "What?! How did they make it?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "It seems we are only seeing one part of this realm, and there are more parts to it." Princess Celestia replied, "I see you made it, Vincent." Volvox said, "Yeah, the terrain's rough today." Vincent replied, "Want to join us? Volvox, Dommiel, and I are coming up with new moves." Phoenix said, "Actually, all of us have, we've been playing a game who can come up with the most moves." Dommiel replied, "Yeah, so far, Saint Germain here has come up with the most moves." Phoenix said, "Well, I guess." Vincent replied, and they do, "Well, I'll be going now. I still wonder who that guy in the window is." Vincent said, "I've been wondering too, Vincent, but I think it may be one of the demons who served under me when was the planet's ruler." Volvox replied, "Really? Okay then." Vincent said, and he goes into the confessional booth and sits, "Welcome back, lost little lamb, I'm surprised you made it this far." the child's voice said, "Just shut up and ask the question." Vincent replied, "Very well." the child's voice said, and the question was asked with the rope falling, Vincent chooses, "Good luck on the next part, you have to face your fears once again." the child's voice said, "Just take me already." Vincent replied, and he flew up, "Okay, let's get this over with." Vincent said, and he heard a female's voice, "Katherine?" Vincent asked, and he saw Doom's Bride appear, which made him and the ponies and Spike scream with fear, "A wedding dress?!" Vincent asked, "I'll kill you!" Doom's Bride said, and Vincent was already climbing, he dodged the avalanches and flying blocks while the ponies and Spike watched nervously, he makes it to the top and opens the door, the white light appears and it destroys Doom's Bride, "Yeah, I beat this night baby!" Vincent said, and he went into it and the door closed, "Oh, it's almost daytime, time to wake up, everypony." Princess Luna said, and they exit the dream realm. The next morning comes and Volvox was looking at Vincent from outside, he saw Vincent in his apartment, only wearing his white and pink polka dotted boxer shorts, he saw a woman in there with him, he realized it was Catherine, he knew exactly what she was, but he does not know who sent her. Everybody in the neighborhood was awake and the Mane Six go to Volvox, "If it's okay with you guys, can we all explore this place as well?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Of course, you'll all be welcomed here." Dommiel replied, "Oh, this is so exciting, so many different types of creatures, I can't wait to learn about all of them." Twilight Sparkle said, they look and saw Shake, Frylock, Meatwad, and Carl were outside, they look and saw Meatwad exercising by walking, "Hey, Meatwad, look, I got some gummy bears over here." Shake said, "I want some." Meatwad replied, "Ooh, I want some gummy bears." Pinkie Pie said, and she ran to Shake, and the two eat them, Meatwad walks back to Frylock, "*pant* *pant* I don't seem to getting in shape." Meatwad said, "Well, maybe if you walk to Shake, and not eat the gummy bears, you'll see some results, Meatwad." Frylock replied, "It doesn't matter how much you exercise, Meat Man, you're gonna die, anyway." Carl said, Applejack ran to him, "Hey! Stop that!" Applejack said, "You mean, I'm gonna die, no matter how much I exercise?" Meatwad asked, "That's right, you need to lose weight like how I do, with this." Carl replied, and he shows them an energy bar, "The South Bronx Parasite Diet." Carl said, "I wanna try." Meatwad said, "Meatwad, wait." Twilight Sparkle said, and she runs to it, she looks at the energy bar, "This doesn't look healthy." Twilight Sparkle said, "She's right, Meatwad, the proper way to lose weight is to have a balanced diet." Frylock said, "I can help." Steven said as he ran to Meatwad, "Why, hello, Steven, that'd be nice of you." Frylock replied, "I also brought a snack for Spaghetti." Steven said, and he had lasagna, "Who's Spaghetti?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "That's me, dummy." a voice that sounded just like Carl replied, they see Spaghetti, he was a dog that had the same tan lines, sandals, hair, and gold chain as Carl. Pinkie Pie and Rarity screamed out of shock, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy went to Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie, the six look at Spaghetti with shock, "What is this?!" Rarity asked, "It's my pet dog." Carl replied and chuckled a bit, "I've never seen an animal like this before." Fluttershy said, "Where in tarnation did you get this?" Applejack asked, "Hey, we have a pet dog too, come on out, Hand Banana." Shake said, and he appeared, the Mane Six screamed out of shock, "Nice to meet you six, too." Hand Banana said, "What the? He looks like he's a part of that guy's hand." Rainbow Dash said, "How did you guys get these?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Oh, we just used that Make Your Own Dog thing in Carl's pool over there." Meatwad replied, and they see it, "That doesn't look safe." Twilight Sparkle said, "I said the same thing when I first saw it. Come on, Meatwad, let's exercise." Steven replied, and they do, "I wanna go!" Pinkie Pie said, and she hopped with them. Three pigeons fly down in the road and begin eating, "Aw." Fluttershy said, she flew to them, they were Bobby, Squit, and Pesto, "You three look so cute." Fluttershy said, "What do you mean by that?" Pesto asked, "Uh, I just said you look cute." Fluttershy replied, "Cute? You think I'm cute?" Pesto asked, "Uh, yes." Fluttershy replied, "You're saying I'm cute? Like I'm so kind of mamby-pamby diaper wearin' baby? Is that what you're saying?" Pesto asked, "No, I'm just saying you look cute." Fluttershy replied, "That's it! Come here!" Pesto said, and he begins attacking Fluttershy, "Pesto! Chill!" Squit said while Bobby laughed. The ponies and Squit join in and separate Fluttershy and Pesto, Fluttershy was beaten and crying while Pesto tried to attack her, "I'll show you cute! You yellow over sized horse brain!" Pesto said, "What is your problem?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "I am so sorry, he has a very bad temper." Squit replied, "Yeah, Pesto's always like that." Bobby said, "You're a meanie!" Fluttershy said to Pesto angrily, "What do you mean by that?" Pesto asked, "You heard me!" Fluttershy replied angrily, "I'm a meanie? I'm some kind of fat and ugly person like Eric Cartman? Like a purple wearing suited clown like the Joker?" Pesto asked, "Yes!" Fluttershy replied angrily, "That's it!" Pesto said, and he began attacking Fluttershy again, Bobby and Squit pull him away, Fluttershy was more battered, "You all really should put a leash on him." Rarity said, "What are your names?" Pinkie Pie asked, "I'm Squit, and that's Bobby." Squit replied, Bobby and Pesto laugh at Squit's name, "Come on, everypony, let's have everycreature explore this neighborhood, I think we can all make a lot of friends here." Twilight Sparkle said, they others agreed and they went back. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs begin interacting with the neighborhood, there was something for everyone, but the world's natives saw a new group of creatures, the kirins, "Hi, guys, I'm Autumn Blaze, I'm a kirin, I like to talk and sing and..." Autumn Blaze said, and she went on and on, "That's nice, but we have to get on with our days." Volvox replied, "I heard all about you guys, I'm a really good singer too, wanna hear me sing a song?" Autumn Blaze asked, Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and the Warner Siblings just look at her, "Better not be My Sex Junk." Dommiel said, a chord was struck in Autumn Blaze, she screams with rage and becomes a nirik with fire around her, "I guess that's a sore spot for her." Dot said, "You should meet Katie Ka-Boom." Yakko said, and a house in the neighborhood exploded behind the Warner Siblings, "Can you sing all fifty states and capitals, Autumn Blaze?" Wakko asked, and Autumn Blaze changed back to normal, she tried but did not even know the first one. Wakko takes out his gag bag and pulls a map of the United States out, "Here, maybe this will help." Wakko said, and he handed it to her, Pinkie Pie dashed to him, "Ooh, what else is in here?" Pinkie Pie asked, and she looks through the gag bag, Wakko reaches in and pulls out a big wooden mallet, he hits Pinkie Pie with it and she screams, "Hey! That hurt!" Pinkie Pie said as she walked down the streets to Wakko, the Warner Siblings were startled to see her, "Yipe!" the Warner Siblings said, and they run away and Ralph runs after them, they ignore it and Autumn Blaze begins to sing while Pinkie Pie plays music. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were at their clubhouse and waiting for Scootaloo, "Where's Scootaloo?" Sweetie Belle asked, "There she is." Apple Bloom replied, and they see their friend, which was actually a giant chicken wearing a wig that was the same shape and color of Scootaloo's mane, "What took ya so long, Scootaloo?" Apple Bloom asked, the chicken clucked, "Oh, you want us to call you Scoota-Boo? Okay." Sweetie Belle asked, and the three have fun by playing. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scoota-Boo go to the neighborhood to meet the residents, they were having fun sightseeing, "HEY!!" Scootaloo said as she rode her scooter to them, "This is an impostor! I'm Scootaloo!" Scootaloo said angrily, "For real?" Apple Bloom asked, "Really?" Sweetie Belle asked, "How can you two not see it?! He's a chicken!" Scootaloo said, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle look at Scoota-Boo, "No, he ain't." Apple Bloom said, Scootaloo growled, she flapped her wings a little and flew up a bit, and fell, but she got the wig off of the chicken. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle look at him with surprise, "He really is a chicken!" Sweetie Belle said, the chicken clucked, "Uh-huh! There you are!" Peter said from afar, he tackles the chicken down and begins to beat it up, shocking the Cutie Mark Crusaders, "No, wait, Peter." Brian said as he ran to him, Peter stopped, "That's Chicken Boo, Ernie's over there." Brian said as he pointed his right index finger, they see Ernie glaring at Peter, the two run to one another and begin fighting. Peter and Ernie move around as they destroy the environment and cause heavy collateral damage, "No! Stop it!" Fluttershy said angrily, "That's enough! Break it up!" Rainbow Dash said angrily, Fluttershy restrains Ernie while Rainbow Dash restrains Peter, "You should be ashamed of yourself!" Fluttershy said angrily, but Ernie slaps her with his right hand and she screams as she falls, "Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash said as she flew down to catch her. Peter and Ernie continue fighting, they were still in the construction sight, they move around and cause collateral damage in the area, some of the metal beams almost fall on the construction workers, "That's enough!" Rarity said as she and Twilight Sparkle separate Peter and Ernie, and bring them down, "What are y'all doin'?!" Applejack asked, "We always fight." Ernie replied, "Yeah, it's kind of a thing with us." Peter said, "Well, shame on you, shame on you, too, Chicken Boo, you should know better not to disguise yourself as someone." Fluttershy said, Chicken Boo clucked, "What is he saying?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I actually don't understand him." Fluttershy replied, surprising everypony, "Come on, you two." Fluttershy said, and Ernie and Chicken Boo follow her, she gives them a reprimanding and they leave, Fluttershy flew back, "They actually have homes, so I can't adopt them." Fluttershy said, "Let's go have fun!" Pinkie Pie replied excitedly, and they all go their separate ways. Sunburst walks around and saw Frylock and Rick working on something, "What are you guys doing?" Sunburst asked as he trotted to them, "Who *burp* is this?" Rick asked, "They are from the new area around us, Rick." Frylock replied, "I'm Sunburst, I study magic." Sunburst said, "Well, I'm sorry, Sunburst, but what we're doing involves science, not magic." Frylock replied, "Actually, I study science, too. What are you guys doing?" Sunburst asked, "We are reversing this device since it brought us here, we're trying to have it send us back." Rick replied, "Really? Maybe I can help." Sunburst said, "That would be really nice, Sunburst, come over here and say what you can do to help."

Flim and Flam snicker while they return back to their scam, a man with short hair, a beard and moustache, a gray baseball cap, sunglasses, a green short sleeve shirt, blue jeans, and white shoes goes to them, which was actually Jimmy in disguise, "Hey, guys, I'd like to buy all of those toys there." Jimmy said, "Uh, what's with the outfit?" Flim asked, "Oh, I'm a news reporter, Saul Goodman." Jimmy replied, "Well, 'Saul', you said you want all of our toys here, hope you got the money." Flam said, "I do, it's right here." Jimmy replied, and he gives them chocolate coins wrapped in gold wrappers shaped like coins, "Here you go." Flim said as he gave Jimmy a toy for each fake coin he gave them, they were soon sold out, "Alright, thank you." Jimmy replied, and the two head to Las Pegasus to buy the resort.

Bullhorn said, "Yeah, we want it changed." Token Black said, they all complain, "Guys, I'm sorry, but you are the only group of people complaining." Volvox said, "I agree it should be changed, too." a male voice said, they look and saw PC Principal, "That flag is racist and offensive, I demand a new flag as well." PC Principal said, "Guys, wait!"

Steven said, and Roger flew out and got it, it was a yellow flag, he unfolds it and reveals there five stick figures in the flag, the stick figure in the center was black and hanging from a noose while the other stick figures were white and cheering. The world's natives see the flag and were shocked, Pinkie Pie screamed with shock when she saw it, "I agree with them, it needs to be changed." Steven said, "This flag represents the unfair racism and suffering they have received from white people during the times of slavery and segregation, I say we change the flag." PC Principal said, the black residents of the neighborhood agree, "I'm sorry, guys, but you all are only a few in the neighborhood, everybody else agrees the flag should stay the way it is." Volvox replied, "No!" Princess Celestia said very sternly from behind Volvox, he turns around and sees her walking forward, "I may not understand your ways, but I can tell this flag is very offensive, I can clearly see it depicts a person being executed, and the others cheering. I do not like this flag, and demand you change it to one that is welcoming of all creatures." Princess Celestia said, "Man, nobody cares about you guys, this about us." Robert replied, "Wait, granddad, I think it'll be best if we go along with her." Huey said, "Why didn't you do anything about this flag when it was created?" Princess Celestia asked, "It was made after I retired from being the ruler." Volvox replied, "You still didn't do anything?" Princess Celestia asked, "Couldn't." Volvox replied, "As we were saying, guys, you all are the only ones who are complaining, which is still a minority in the neighborhood." Dommiel said, "Well, I agree it should be changed. How about you, Roger? Roger?"

Rigby said, and Sunset Shimmer tries the Whip and Terminate course again, Sunset Shimmer beats it but got a silver medal, she was angry, "Relax, Sunset, it's a silver medal, you passed."

Nigel asked, "Actually, most of the people we don't get along with are our age." Apple Bloom replied, "It's alright, we understand, our main enemies are within our age group, too." Abby said, "Really?" Apple Bloom asked, "Yeah, the Delightful Children From Down The Lane, they live in the neighborhood Ed, Edd, and Eddy come from, so I'd doubt they'd be here." Abby replied, "Well, Ah lead the other two, Ah was hopin' y'all two could give me some tips on bein' a better leader." Apple Bloom said, "Very well, watch and learn, Apple Bloom."

Hoagie said, Scootaloo trotted to him, "How's the device coming?" Scootaloo asked, they were making a scooter with makeshift thrusters from soda cans, "I appreciate your advice, Scootaloo, I think these soda cans will make great thrusters." Hoagie said, "Thrusters? I thought we were adding flaming stickers onto it!" Wally replied, much to Scootaloo's bewilderment, "He's always like that, he's our best fighter, but the dumbest member." Hoagie said, "I noticed that." Scootaloo replied, and she and Hoagie keep working to make the makeshift thrusters, Hoagie puts on the finishing touches while Scootaloo went to go play fight with Wally again.

Vito replied, and Princess Celestia sat across from him, "What is the matter?" Vito asked, "It is about the neighborhood's flag." Princess Celestia replied, "Yes, I have heard, complaints about that flag has started recently, it was perfectly okay at the time it was made." Vito said, "What?" Princess Celestia asked with shock and surprise, "You heard me, at the time we put up that flag, nobody complained about it." Vito replied, "It's still wrong, that flag needs to go, and it's not just my country complaining, every country in this world is complaining about it." Princess Celestia said, "I understand you all do things differently, but the majority of the neighborhood thinks the flag is okay, so until the votes of it to change outweighs the votes of the flag being fine, it's staying." Vito replied, Princess Celestia had an idea, "Can the natives of this world have a saying in it?" Princess Celestia asked, "Of course, we already have many different beings in this neighborhood, I don't see any harm in more coming in." Vito replied, "Thank you, uh, um... what is your title?" Princess Celestia asked, "Don." Vito replied, Princess Celestia was surprised, she has never heard of that title before, "I've also heard the others call you something else." Princess Celestia said, "Yes, that's my other title, Godfather." Vito replied, "Godfather?" Princess Celestia asked, she has never heard of such a title, "I assume you don't have the title in your land if you don't know it." Vito said, "Actually, no country in this world has Godfather as a title." Princess Celestia replied, "I see, is there anything else you'd like to discuss?" Vito asked, "No, that was all." Princess Celestia replied, "Alright, I bid you farewell, then." Vito said, Princess Celestia bowed to him and left the room.

Roger said, and they all see the King of All Cosmos appear, shocking everycreature, they could not believe it, he was even bigger than Volvox, "What is it, We are quite busy right now." the King of All Cosmos said, "The stars and moon are missing, Your Majesty." Volvox replied, "Yes, We have noticed, Our deepest apologies, Volvox, Our son is currently replacing them." the King of All Cosmos said, "What happened to them?" Bubbles asked as she, Blossom, and Buttercup flew up to the King of All Cosmos, screaming was heard in the sky and everybody saw Ignignokt and Err floating in the sky while spinning clockwise, "Uh, you see, We were heading home while drunk, and ended up crashing into the stars and destroying them, before hitting the moon." the King of All Cosmos, Princess Celestia gave him a look of disapproval while Applejack shook her head, "So that's what happened, I thought the president and vice president were plotting something to take over the world." Slappy Squirrel said, "So, when are the stars and moon going to be back?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "Our son is working on it, We started using the Katamari in different parts of the neighborhood." the King of All Cosmos replied, "Wait, Kids Next Door, try to contact the moon base." Nigel said, and they do, "Negative, Numbuh One, I'm not getting a reading." Hoagie replied, "Oh no, Lapis!" Steven said with worry, "It's alright, Steven, I'm right here." Lapis Lazuli replied as she flew down, the world's natives look at her with surprise, "Look at her wings." Spike said, "Are they... made out of water?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Okay, I'll let your son roll the Katamari around the neighborhood, but make sure he doesn't roll up the citizens or buildings." Volvox replied, "Thank you, Volvox, We promise this will not take long." the King of All Cosmos said, and he flew back up into the sky.

Sunset Shimmer asked, "These are our co-workers." Mordecai replied, "Oh yes, I remember seeing you drive that car in the driving test, jolly good show!" a man with lollipop head said, "Oh, uh, thanks?" Sunset Shimmer said embarrassingly, "This is Pops, he's our manager." Rigby said, "Well, yeah, but since he was sheltered all his life, he has no idea what to do, so I handle the management." a gumball machine said, "This is Benson, he's a bit short tempered." Mordecai said, "You know who else is short tempered? My mom!" a green man said, the world's natives present look at him with disbelief, "*sigh* This is Muscle Man, he's always like that." Rigby said, "I'm Hi Five Ghost, his best friend." a small white floating ghost said, "And this is?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Skips, our best worker." Benson replied, "So, what do you think of this world, Skips?" Mordecai asked, "I've seen a lot of things in my lifetime, but never anything like this world." Skips replied, "I love this world, it kind of reminds me a bit of Lolliland." Pops said, "Lolliland?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "It's where he's from." Mordecai replied, "So, let me gets this straight, you guys are a blue jay, a raccoon, a gumball machine, a lollipop, a green human, a ghost, and a yeti." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, we all work at the park." Rigby replied, "And our boss wouldn't be on us if you and Mordecai didn't cause so many problems." Benson said, "Come on, guys, let's just enjoy the evening." Muscle Man said, and they do. Vincent was sitting with Orlando, Jonny, and Toby, looking depressed, "You still haven't thought about marrying Katherine?" Jonny asked, "I know, but I can't bring myself to ask her." Vincent replied, "You really wanna go through the same crap I went through? Trust me, marriage life sucks, man." Orlando said, "Excuse me." Princess Cadence said as she and Shining Armor walked to them, "I believe he would be fine when he does marry." Princess Cadence said, "I'm not ready to get married, yet, but she wants to tie the knot, I'm fine where we are. *sigh* I really don't know what to do." Vincent replied, "Well, if she's wanting to marry, then you might as well marry her as well." Jonny said, "How long have you two been dating?" Shining Armor asked, "About five years." Vincent replied, "Trust me, man, no matter how good you are to a woman, you'll never know when she'll stab you in the back." Orlando said, "H... hey, my wife here has never done such a thing to me." Shining Armor replied, "Well, lucky you, my wife betrayed me." Orlando said, "I'm sorry to hear that. What about you two?" Princess Cadence asked, "I'm still searching for my one true love." Jonny replied, "Yeah, so am I." Toby said, "But you have a girlfriend already, don't you, Jonny?" Vincent asked, "Yeah, but I have no intention of marrying her, and we're only seeing one another for temporary company." Jonny replied, the ponies and Young Six were shocked, "You have no intention of marrying her?" Shining Armor asked, "She has no intention of marry me, either." Jonny replied, "But what if you don't find your one true love?" Princess Cadence asked, "Then I don't get married, so what?" Jonny asked, "Jonny, love and marriage is an important thing, you shouldn't brush it off like that." Princess Cadence replied, "You should be telling that to old Vincent here." Orlando said, the two look and see Vincent was just drinking the night away, "Well, we'll be going now." Shining Armor said, and the two walk back. Pinkie Pie hopped to the Rapunzel arcade game and saw Onizuka playing, he just beat the sixty fourth level, "Yes." Onizuka said, "I wanna try!" Pinkie Pie said while hopping up and down excitedly, "Okay, but it's hard." Onizuka replied, and he stepped to the right while Pinkie Pie got onto the arcade game. Pinkie Pie starts the Rapunzel game, "Ooh, so many blocks and pretty looking little people." Pinkie Pie said, she somehow knew how to use the arcade, which confused Onizuka, she beats the first level, "I beat it! Whoo-hoo!" Pinkie Pie said, "Actually, you only beat the first level." Onizuka replied, and Pinkie Pie looked and saw the game automatically advance to the next level. Pinkie Pie focuses and beats the second level easily, which made her jump up and down happily. Pinkie Pie does the third level and had a little trouble, she pushes a block down that makes the whole thing fall and she lost the level, "Oh, I lost." Pinkie Pie said sadly, "There's a restart button right there." Onizuka replied, and Pinkie Pie saw it, she restarts the level and tries again, she beat the third level the second time through, "I did it!" Pinkie Pie said, and she continues playing while Onizuka watched her. Volvox looks around while everybody relaxes for the night, "Wait, Tom's missing." Volvox said, "Yeah, where is Tom?" Dommiel asked, "He and Sarah got into another argument this morning." Huey replied, "Again? They might as well divorce at this rate." the Count of Saint Germain said, "That'd be a shame, that wife Tom's got is fine." Riley replied, "I am not letting him in our house if he is kicked out, no way." Robert said, the world's natives who were visiting the bar look at him with disapproval, "What about the time you guys went to his house for the free food when the celebrity visited them?" Steven asked, "Hey now, we really liked Pretty Boy Flizzy, so we went over to visit him." Uncle Ruckus replied, "Black Dynamite also like Pretty Boy Flizzy, so Black Dynamite paid Tom a visit." Black Dynamite said, "Yeah, me too, I would've liked to dance with him on Soul Train." Cream Corn said, "Pretty Boy Flizzy had it all, not just the looks." Honey Bee said, "We all went to go meet Pretty Boy Flizzy, but ya didn't go cause you're a sissy." Bullhorn said, "No, you guys didn't! I was nearby, you all just visited them to get the free food!" Steven replied, "And what's wrong with that?" Lois asked, "Yeah, Tom's wife is a good cook." Bart said, "I was going to go, but I forgot where Tom's house was at." Richard said, "Tom's wife a hottie, I'll take her if she divorces him." Carl said, "No, I saw her first, she's mine!" Shake replied, "Ugh, you men are all the same." Erica said, "That's ironic coming from you." Vincent replied, "Hey!" Erica said, "Excuse me, Orlando, darling, I must know, what is that hat on your head called?" Rarity asked, "Why you ask for, lady?" Orlando asked, "I'm a fashion designer, and I like hats, so I was wondering what yours is called." Rarity replied, "Ah, no wonder why, it's called a trilby." Orlando said, "Thank you, darling, I think it will go well for some outfits." Rarity replied, Orlando chuckled while Rarity walked back. The spotlight comes on and everybody looks, "Now, for a new entertainer this evening, Autumn Blaze." a male announcer said, everybody clapped as the curtains raised, Autumn Blaze stood on the stage, "Hi, everyone, I'm Autumn Blaze, it's my first time, so I'm a bit nervous, so I'm going to start by singing a song." Autumn Blaze said, "You sound just like Rachel Bloom." Black Dynamite said, "Um, the script for this story says that is her voice actress." Yakko replied, "What else does the script say about her?" Robert asked, "It says she's going to sing a song called A Kirin's Tale." Yakko replied, "Go on without me, Ah already heard it." Applejack said, "Thank goodness for that, cause Black Dynamite doesn't wanna hear her sing that song from Bill Nye's show again." Black Dynamite said, a chord was struck inside of Autumn Blaze, she was about to lose her temper and turn into a nirik, but she restrained it, she sang her song and everybody except Applejack clapped since she already heard it, and she went off the stage. Screaming was heard and the Stray Sheep bar got rolled up into the Katamari, "What the?! The Prince is rolling up the neighborhood!" Volvox said, "Help." Phineas said, they saw him, Ferb, Isabella, Baljeet, and Buford were rolled into the Katamari, Volvox uses telekinesis to free them, "Go have a talk with the King, Roger." Volvox said, and he flew up into the sky, "How does he do that?" Rainbow Dash asked, "He has the powers and abilities of thirty five gods." Dommiel replied, the world's natives reel back in shock, "Thirty five gods?!" Rarity asked, "Yeah, he was considered the chosen one to protect our world from threats, but as you can see, there isn't that many, as he has already dealt with them." the Count of Saint Germain replied, Roger flew back down, "He's not here right now." Roger said, "I see, we'll look for him tomorrow." Volvox replied, the others hear a dunking noise and they saw Mr. Bean was trying to make his teddy bear drink the drink he ordered, "There goes Mr. Bean being Mr. Bean again." Darwin said, "Yeah, I'll never understand that guy." Gumball replied, the others hear drinks banging on the table and they notice Mercer and Aero having a contest over who can drink the most alcohol, "Ready to give up?" Mercer asked, "Not at all." Aero replied, "You guys shouldn't drink that much." Rock said, "But it's fun." Aero replied, "Still, it's bad for you guys." Silver said, and the two drink the next shot of alcohol, Aero passed out while Mercer continued to sit, "I win!" Mercer said, "Didn't you two drink back then, mom and dad?" Nick asked, "Well, only on ceremonial things, but other than that, no." Orchid replied, "I did when I was heavily injured, it numbed the pain." Nick said, "I tried it once, I didn't like the taste." Lance said, "What?! But Lance, you're too young!" Alice said, "Not by my home world's standards, I'm not." Lance replied, Erica walked over, "Hey, which one of you guys paying for the drinks." Erica said, "She is, loser pays." Mercer replied, the mares look at Mercer with shock, unable to believe he would make the female pay for the food and drinks at a restaurant, "I'm gonna head home, it's getting late." Jonny said, the others look at the time and agree, "Make sure you all leave the money on the table for the food and drinks." Boss said, and they do, everybody left, but Vincent stayed, "Hello." a female said, everybody saw Catherine, the Mane Six, Young Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Princesses, Shining Armor, Sunburst, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer go to him, "Who is this?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "This is Catherine, she comes here late at night." Vincent replied, "What is this outfit?!" Rarity asked angrily, seeing Catherine was wearing white clothes that resembled lingerie, Catherine giggled, "Don't you like it?" Catherine asked, "No! I do not! How can you go around in that outfit without being embarrassed?! It's so revealing and resembles underwear!" Rarity replied angrily, Catherine giggled while Rarity had a shocked face, "This is the women you're proposing to?!" Rarity asked, "No, the Katherine I'm dating is Katherine with a k." Vincent replied, "Wait, are you in a relationship with her, too?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "No, we're just friends." Vincent replied, "Really? It looks like there's more than a friendship between you two." Shining Armor said, "We're just close friends, really close." Vincent replied, "Are you in a relationship with two women, Vincent?!" Princess Cadence asked, "No, he's just said, we're just friends." Catherine replied, Vincent stood up, "Hey, are you going?" Catherine asked, "Yeah, I have to go to work early tomorrow." Vincent replied, "Oh, okay, bye then." Catherine said and Vincent left, the world's natives left as well. Princess Luna enters the dream realm and begins to work on getting rid of nightmares, "Okay, let's get tonight over with." Princess Luna said and she begins to blasting away the nightmares of the foals, but she stops and saw the dream with the male sheep again, she sees them in a clock tower, and Vincent was the one who was climbing the most, "It's that dream sequence again." Princess Luna said, she watches Vincent climb the blocks while collecting the coins, he also made use of a red book to electrocute other sheep away. The ponies of Equestria begin to have nightmares and Princess Luna puts all of the nightmares together and zaps them away, they look and see her watching the men climb the clock tower, they watch with her, Rarity chuckled, "I must say, I do find Vincent running around only in his undergarments a bit amusing." Rarity said, the others look and Pinkie Pie began laughing out loud, they see Vincent make it to the top and he goes up to the next landing. Vincent speaks with the others and everybody was working together to create new moves to move the blocks, "Have how things been for you, Vincent?" Phoenix asked, "I'm managing, but it's getting a bit tough." Vincent replied, "Things would be easy for us if Wakko wasn't eating all of the blocks." Yakko said, "It's not my fault they're tasty." Wakko replied, "Tasty?! They taste like frickin' drywall!" Carl said, "Relax, everyone, let's calm down and take turns coming up with new moves to get through this nightmare." Volvox said, everybody calmed down and discussed things, "Alright, I'll be going now." Vincent said, "Have you found out who that person over there is yet?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "Not yet, but I'm looking." Volvox replied, and Vincent entered the confessional booth, he answered the question and went up to the next part. Vincent arrives at the next part and climbs up the blocks, the ponies watch with worry as Vincent climbs through the place, a sheep falls down and he screams, "Oh, no!" Fluttershy said, and Vincent keeps climbing, he runs up and was collecting the coins as he went along, Vincent soon arrives at the bell and goes up to the next landing. Vincent goes up the stairs and sees everybody was still alive and well, "Hey, guys." Vincent said, "*pant* *pant*, all of this climbing is makin' me tired." Carl said, "Hang in there, Carl, I think we're near the end." Dommiel replied, "I hope so, so far, every night, I've been haunted and chased by Dahlia." Phoenix said, "I still can't believe I'm here, I didn't betray anyone, I was the one who got betrayed." Orlando said, "I never cheated on anyone, and I'm here as well." Jonny replied, "Well, let's go, I'm looking up and seeing we still have two more floors to go." Volvox said, "How are you able to fit in this place, Volvox?" Vincent asked, "Whoever is giving us these nightmares is using their powers to shrink me to the size I am now." Volvox replied, "Ah, stacking blocks." Mr. Bean said as he tried to think of strategies, "I'm surprised he made it this far." Vincent said, "Yeah, he's smart in his own way." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Well, come on, I think we should go up to the next floor." Phoenix said, the others agreed and Vincent entered first, the voice talks and the next question was asked, Vincent pulls the rope for his answer, the voice speaks a bit more and Vincent was sent up to the next floor. Vincent arrives at the third floor and begins climbing, "Wow, I'm noticing a lot of puzzles for climbing up, but I'm having trouble solving them." Twilight Sparkle said, "As am I, Twilight, if we were in there, we could've just used magic on ourselves and the earth ponies to go up, while the Pegasi could just fly up." Princess Celestia replied, "Still, I wonder why they're having these nightmares, I've noticed they're all males as well." Princess Cadence said, "Yeah, now that you mention it, there seems to be no females in these dreams." Rainbow Dash replied, "That is strange, Ah wonder why that's the case for." Applejack said, the ponies were all confused and they soon see Vincent has begun climbing. Vincent begins climbing while the bottom falls, Rarity screams when she saw the big black ants, "Oh my, I've never seen ants that big before." Fluttershy said, "I am so glad the ants in Sugarcube Corner are not that big, they'd eat everything." Pinkie Pie said, "I'd like to have ants that big." Shining Armor replied, "Of course you would, big brother." Twilight Sparkle said in a deadpan tone, they watch Vincent climb and he was at the top, "Wow, he's completely different in the real world than in the dream." Princess Cadence said, the others agreed and Vincent went up to the next landing. Vincent arrives and saw everyone there, they were all resting, "Did you see Tom down there?" Dommiel asked, "Nope." Vincent replied, "We should go check on him after tonight, who knows how he's been." the Count of Saint Germain said, Giovi nodded, "Well... I'll be going, I wish to get tonight over and done with." Vincent said, "Alright, see you tomorrow morning if you survive." Volvox replied, and Vincent entered the booth, the voice talks and Vincent answers the question presented and goes up to the next floor. Vincent arrives at the last floor for the night, "Alright... Let's just climb this thing and get it over with." Vincent said, he hears baby noises above him, "Wh... What?!" Vincent asked, "Daddy..." a voice said from above and something falls, making everypony uneasy, "What was that?" Sweetie Belle asked, "There is no way!" Vincent said as he had his right hand on his forehead, a chainsaw comes up and it scares everypony, "Dad... dy..." the creature said, "I'm not your daddy! I'm definitely not YOUR daddy!" Vincent said, and the creature came up, it was baby that had a chainsaw for its right hand, a pincer for its left hand. The ponies scream in terror at the sight of the baby, Shining Armor's and Princess Cadence's eyes' and mouths were wide open with horror, "Luna, do something!" Princess Celestia said, "I can't, I already tried, I can't zap these nightmares away." Princess Luna replied, Vincent runs and climbs while the baby shoots its gatling gun and makes buzzsaws fall and move around, "Come on, Vincent, you can do it." Twilight Sparkle said as she watches nervously, "Daddy!" the baby said, "Who is the mother?" Rarity asked, "Ah sure don't wanna know." Applejack replied, Vincent keeps climbing the baby laughs manically as it cuts the right side of the area off with its chainsaw, "Daddy!" the baby said as Vincent climbed, the baby shoots its gatling gun again and makes more blocks and buzzsaws fall, Vincent hangs off of a ledge while everypony watched nervously, Vincent goes back up and climbs more while the baby chases him and cuts off the right side of the area again. Vincent looks back and sees the baby's face had open, revealing a mechanical skull-like face, with two chainsaw blades protruding from its left eye, and another mouth for its right eye, which scared everypony, Vincent keeps climbing and arrives at the top, "Okay, if I just open this..." Vincent said, and he opens the door, "Here comes the dawn... of victory!" Vincent said, the baby comes up, "Whoa! It's still coming?!" Vincent asked, and the baby kept coming up, Vincent began to panic while everypony was scared, "Play with me!" the baby said as it waved its arms around, "Not a chance!" Vincent said, and the white light from the door destroys the baby, "Did I... Did I do it?" Vincent asked, and he saw he did, he was happy, "I did it! The night is mine! Whoo-hoo!" Vincent said, and he went into the door. The ponies smiled as they saw him survive the night, "He made it." Fluttershy said, "I hope the others did, too." Twilight Sparkle replied, "The night is about to end, you all should wake up now." Princess Luna said, and they exited the dream realm. Morning comes and the ponies look for Vincent's home, "There he is." Rainbow Dash said as she pointed her right front hoof at Vincent's apartment, which everybody saw him through a window, he wakes up and look, "Wait, it's that woman from last night." Rarity said, and the rest of the Mane Six see Catherine in his home, she was freaking out, they look and saw ants coming in, "Y'all, Ah'm gettin' a bad feelin' about that Catherine." Applejack said, they watch Vincent and Catherine from outside and see Catherine was very energetic, she left soon afterwards, she also threw out what attracted the ants. The Mane Six go to it and Twilight Sparkle uses her telekinesis to open the box, cake was revealed to be inside, "Oh, what a waste of good cake." Pinkie Pie said, her five friends agreed, they see Vincent come out and Shining Armor and Princess Cadence ran to him, so did the Mane Six, "Are you alright, Vincent?" Princess Cadence asked, "Yeah, I just had a bad dream last night." Vincent replied, "Where are you going?" Shining Armor asked, "To work, I work as a computer programmer." Vincent replied, "Do you remember the dream you had last night?" Rarity asked, "Actually, no." Vincent replied, surprising the eight ponies present with him, "Well, we'll be leaving now, darling, take it easy." Rarity said, "Alright, thanks, see you all tonight." Vincent replied, and he goes to work, "Okay, now to put Ponyville and this place together." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all go their separate ways. The residents of the neighborhood are allowed into Ponyville and they explore, Rarity sees humans who were sagging their pants' coming to her shop, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you guys are not coming into my shop with your pants like that." Rarity said, "Ay, lady, this is the fashion." one man replied, "I don't care if it's fashion or not, it's hideous, and if you want to enter my shop, pull your pants up." Rarity said, Rainbow Dash flew down to them, "Seriously, guys, wearing your pants like that is not cool." Rainbow Dash said, the humans look at her, "'Cool' is way out of date now." one man said, "Yeah, we say 'swag' now." another man said, "Swag?" Rainbow Dash asked, "'Not cool' and 'uncool' ain't used no more, either, we say 'ratchet' now." a third man said, much to Rarity's and Rainbow Dash's confusion, "Anyway, as I was saying, if you want to come into my shop, pull up your pants, you're not coming in like that." Rarity said, and she puts a sign on her door to tell the humans to pull their pants up and closes it while Rainbow Dash flies away. Night Light and Twilight Velvet decided to go for a stroll in the neighborhood, they look around and saw Randy drunk, he was only in his undergarments as well, "That guy is a father?" Twilight Velvet asked, "My thoughts, exactly, love." Night Light replied, and they walk past him, they look and see Marge and Lois conversing, "Oh, hello, who are you two?" Marge asked, "We're Twilight Sparkle's parents." Twilight Velvet replied, "Which one was Twilight Sparkle again?" Lois asked, "The purple one with the horn and wings." Night Light replied, "Oh, that one, I remember her." Lois said, "So, what are you two doing?" Twilight Velvet asked, "Just talking about our days, our husbands and kids are at work and school right now." Marge replied, "So, what do you two do?" Twilight Velvet asked, "Mostly just stay home and take care of the house." Lois replied, "You two don't do anything?" Night Light asked, "We do a lot, just nothing to do right now." Marge replied, "Alright, well, nice meeting you two, we'll continue our stroll." Twilight Velvet said, and the two walk past them. Night Light and Twilight Velvet hear havoc at a house and saw Richard doing something, "What is he doing?" Twilight Velvet asked as they saw Richard playing with what appeared to be a toy wand, "I guess he just has a big inner child." Night Light said, Twilight Velvet chuckled, "It's actually kind of cute watching him." Twilight Velvet said, and they see Richard act like a little kid, "Well, come on, darling, let's keep walking around." Night Light said, and they walk around the neighborhood while enjoying the views. Sunset Shimmer was still trying the driving test and was having a lot of trouble, she was doing the PIT maneuver, she got a silver medal, "Come on!" Sunset Shimmer said as she clutched her head with her front hoofs and hit her head on the steering wheel's horn, "Yeah, we had trouble with this one, too." Mordecai said, "How many tries did it take you two?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "A lot, so much, we lost count after the twentieth try." Rigby replied, Sunset Shimmer sighs sharply and kept her head on the horn, "I need a break." Sunset Shimmer said, and she trotted away from the driving school. Mordecai and Rigby comfort her while she just sat on the sidewalk, "Need some help?" a voice asked, they look up and saw Chibs, "I thought you drive motorcycles." Sunset Shimmer said, "Not always, I drive four wheels, too." Chibs replied, Sunset Shimmer looked at him with surprise, "Come on, I'll show you a few tricks." Chibs said, and they try the PIT maneuver part again, Chibs guides Sunset Shimmer and she got a gold medal, "Yes!" Sunset Shimmer said, "OHHHHHHH!!" Mordecai and Rigby said together, they hear running and saw Benson, "Mordecai and Rigby, GET BACK TO WORK!!" Benson said, "Oh, we have to go now, Sunset Shimmer." Mordecai said, "Okay, see you guys next time." Sunset Shimmer replied, "I have to go, too, I have a club to run." Chibs said, "Alright, good luck." Sunset Shimmer replied, and the three leave while Sunset Shimmer does the next test. Applejack walks around and looks around the neighborhood, she stops when she saw a black man dancing with a lawn mower in front of him, "What in tarnation?" Applejack asked with surprise as she saw the black man mowing the lawn while dancing and playing music, she walked to the house and knocked on the door three times with front right hoof, the door opens and Robert came out, "Yes?" Robert asked, "What is that supposed to be?" Applejack asked as she pointed her front left hoof to the black man mowing his lawn, "He's a lawn mower man from Dave Chappelle's Lawn Service, it's a good company." Robert replied, "Why can't ya mow the lawn yerself?" Applejack asked, "Man, I'm old, I don't have the energy like how I did back then." Robert replied, "Why couldn't ya just call a regular person to mow the lawn?" Applejack asked, "This is the only company in the neighborhood." Robert replied, "What about Huey and Riley?" Applejack asked, "They're at school." Robert replied, "Ya could have them mow the lawn on the weekend." Applejack said, "They have homework during the weekend." Robert replied, "Oh, so, y'all don't have time." Applejack said, "Exactly, we ain't got the time to be mowing the lawn when we're so busy." Robert replied, "Well, sorry to bother ya, Ah'll be goin' now." Applejack said, "Alright, have a good day." Robert replied, and he closed the door, Applejack walks away while looking at the dancing lawn mower man uncomfortably. Phoenix was at a crime scene, he saw the outline of Apu Sauce's body was drawn, he was not the only person there, Trucy, Harry, Dexter, Aya, Takeshi, Hayato, and Taki were there as well, "Daddy, you never said what happened to Gumshoe." Trucy said, "He just transferred, we thought we'd give him an easier job." Harry replied, "Yeah, he's still around, following Edgeworth everywhere." Dexter said, "So, when was the time of death estimated?" Aya asked, "About thirty four hours ago." Dexter replied, everybody sees Dexter has already put red tape around the area to locate where the blood splattered during the time of the murder, "This wasn't an expert murder, whoever did this was an amateur." Dexter said, "I can tell, look, see how high the blood flies up onto the wall?" Takeshi asked, "Yeah, whoever did this used a lot of force." Aya replied, "Someone's coming." Hayato said, and they hear trotting, they see Twilight Sparkle, "I couldn't help but hear you guys, thought I could be of help." Twilight Sparkle said, "Sure, Twilight, just like the last time I came here." Phoenix replied, Twilight Sparkle smiled, "Do you have any prior experience with anything like this?" Harry asked, "I gathered forensic knowledge from my books." Twilight Sparkle replied, "We're doing the blood splatter analysis right now, what do you know about it?" Dexter asked, "Well, I just overheard you guys discuss it." Twilight Sparkle replied, "That's not everything." Taki said, Twilight Sparkle looks at the red tapes, "Well, judging by the height of the splatter, and the angle of it, I would assume this person was stabbed with immense force, and possibly hit a major artery." Twilight Sparkle said, "The body's being analyzed at the police station, person was stabbed in their left jugular vein and carotid artery." Dexter replied, "Oh, I'd figured it was somewhere around there." Twilight Sparkle said, "I'll fill you in, we also found a right hand print on the body's right shoulder, the fingers are on the front of the shoulder." Trucy said, "Okay, so that means the person was attacked from behind." Twilight Sparkle replied, "You guys said you found something strange on the weapon, right?" Aya asked, "Yes, it's right here." Taki replied, and he shows the weapon, it was a dagger, it had a silver blade, red and black handle, and a gold eagle emblem on the hand guard, "See this eagle emblem here, Twilight?" Takeshi asked, "Yes." Twilight Sparkle replied, "That is the logo of Shocker, the criminal organization Ichimonji, Taki, and I are fighting." Takeshi said, Twilight Sparkle looked at it with great detail, "Thank you, I'll inform Princess Celestia." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, come on, I have to speak to the suspects around here now." Phoenix said, and they all walk together. Phoenix, Twilight Sparkle, and the investigators go together and come across someone, he had on a suit and hat that appeared to be made out of ice cream, he had short blue hair, "Excuse us." Phoenix said, the man looks at them, "Can you state your name?" Phoenix asked, the man did not respond, "What can you say about this?" Taki asked as he showed him the dagger, the man did not respond, "He's hiding something." Aya said, they look and saw him biting his lower lip to stay quiet, Takeshi, Hayato, and Taki's attentions were caught, "Is Shocker holding your family hostage?" Hayato asked, the man became nervous, "Let's take him to Tachibana's place." Takeshi said, and they do. Onizuka was teaching his class and Princess Celestia and Cheerilee saw him outside, he was with his class, which had Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, Butters, Bart, and other students, "Alright, Bart, Cartman, fight!" Onizuka said, surprising everyone, "Well? What are you waiting for? Fight!" Onizuka said, and they do, much to Cheerilee's shock, the Cutie Mark Crusaders see it and watch with shock as well, the ponies watch with shock while Onizuka's students cheer on Bart to win, but Cartman overpowers him and the students begin cheering for Cartman to win, "Stop!" Onizuka said, and they do, "You guys are not being a true friend, you all cheered for Bart, and then switched to Cartman when he started winning, that is not what a true friend does. A true friend supports their friend, even when they are losing, all of you fail." Onizuka said, shocking the students, "Wait! Onizuka!" Princess Celestia said as she flew to him, she landed in front of him, "What kind of lesson is this?" Princess Celestia asked, "I am teaching them about supporting their friends." Onizuka replied, "I understand the need to teach friendship, but I don't think this is the best way." Princess Celestia said, "It's only for this lesson, I have several ways to teach them." Onizuka replied, "Actually, he teaches us more than friendship." Butters said, "Yeah, he also teaches us life lessons." Stan said, "I'll be watching you, I'll have a talk with you if I see this doing more harm than good." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away, they all go back to class. Bart was bored, so he decided to try a prank, he took out a slingshot and was about to shoot it at Onizuka, he snickers and fires a rock at Onizuka while his back was turned and he was writing on the board, the rock was about to hit him, but Onizuka holds up his left hand and catches it without turning around, causing the students to gasp, "Nice try, Bart, but that's not going to work with me." Onizuka said, and he turned around and threw the rock, it hit the wall in the back of the classroom, which left a hole and cracks on the entire wall, shocking his students, "Now then, onto your social studies assignment." Onizuka said, and he lectures them while the students were too busy using their touchscreen phones and were on Facebook, Instagram, or looking at memes, Onizuka walks around the classroom and takes their electronics and puts on his desk, the students complain but Onizuka does a karate chop with his right hand and breaks their electronics. The students were seeing PC Principal while Onizuka stood outside the office, "Mr. Onizuka, get in here!" PC Principal said, he did, "I understand your country does things differently, but as long as you're here, you'll be obeying my rules." PC Principal said, Onizuka let out an annoyed grunt, "You will not break other students' supplies! I have a lot of complaints already, their parents are furious with you!" PC Principal said, "Well, they weren't paying attention in class." Onizuka replied, "We all know why you're here, the only reason you were brought to our school was because PC Principal wanted to add diversity in the teaching staff!" Cartman said, "And everybody can see, you have the hots for Strong Woman." Kyle said, Onizuka blushed, "Well, I'll let you go this time, Mr. Onizuka, since you're still new here, but if something like this happens again, I will fire you." PC Principal said, and Onizuka left while the students continued to complain. Starlight Glimmer and Flurry Heart decided to go see Harvey, Orchid, Nick, Lance, Alice, Mercer, Silver, Rock, and Aero, Flurry Heart flew around and played with Lance, Silver, and Rock, "What do you guys for a living?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Well, I used to play music for money when I was younger." Harvey replied, "What about you, Orchid?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "I was a stay at home mom, had to watch over Nick." Orchid replied, "What about you guys?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Only I had a job, I was a soldier for my home kingdom's military." Rock replied from afar, "You guys didn't have jobs?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Nope, I was homeless who had to steal for a living." Aero replied, "Well, I'm from a family of nobility, so maybe that could count, since I was studying politics." Silver said from afar, "I didn't have a job either, I was busy learning lightning magic." Alice said, "Me neither, plus, I couldn't get a job, I'm a wanted criminal, me serving under Alice is basically my atonement." Mercer said, "What are your crimes?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Robbery, murder, political assassination, and being a former member of a criminal gang, so I served under Alice back in my world to protect it from evil to atone for my past actions." Mercer replied, "For how long?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Rest of my life." Mercer replied, "I was a thief before I joined Alice, so I'm kind of atoning, too." Aero said, "What about the rest of you?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "I was dead at the time Nick met them." Lance replied from afar, "I joined Alice because it was my duty as a soldier." Rock said from afar, "Since I'm nobility, I had more responsibilities than the average citizens in my home kingdom." Silver said from afar, "I was chosen to save our world from evil, and these four joined me, Nick came much later." Alice said, "Yeah, I only went to mom's world after going to dad's world, they were the first people I met." Nick said, "What does Lance mean he died?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Lance was experimented on and mutated, I had to kill him to end his suffering, I then went to mom's world after that, I used magic from her world and technology from dad's world to revive him, I got mom and dad revived as well." Nick replied, "I see, interesting, I'll go see Volvox now." Starlight Glimmer said, "Alright, have fun." Harvey replied, and Starlight Glimmer trotted to his home. Starlight Glimmer arrived to Volvox's home and knocked on the front door with her front right hoof three times, Volvox uses telekinesis to open the door, "Hello, you need something?" Volvox asked, "Actually, I just thought I'd come by and get to know you better." Starlight Glimmer replied, "Come on in, then." Volvox said, and she entered. Starlight Glimmer entered his house and saw Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom, "You okay, Tom?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Sarah kicked me out of the house again."

Phineas and Ferb continue building the roller coaster and Spike and the Young Six go see them, "Hello again." Phineas said, "Hi, Twilight actually wanted me to give you guys some notes on the roller coaster so it could support everycreature when they board it, since she's too busy to come help at the moment." Spike replied, and he hands it to them, "Thank you, we were working on that, our country's president already gave us the supplies." Phineas said, "Uh, president?" Silverstream asked, "This country's ruler is called a president, we have a queen from where I come from." Ferb replied, "Still, aren't you a bit young to be building a roller coaster?" Ocellus asked, "Why, yes, yes I am." Phineas replied, "So, who is the president?" Sandbar asked, "President Brain, his second-in-command is Admiral Pinky." Phineas replied, Pinkie Pie dashed into the backyard, "Hey! That's my name." Pinkie Pie said, "This Pinky's a mouse." Phineas replied, "Still a double me!" Pinkie Pie said as she jumped up and down. In the grass of Phineas' and Ferb's backyard, Pinky and the Brain were watching them, "So, what was the plan, Brain? Narf." Pinky said, "Simple, Pinky, when Phineas and Ferb activate the roller coaster, we are going to use our mind control device that I've secretly planted onto the pieces of the roller coaster to send out waves to hypnotize the people, I will make them obey me and I will rule the world." Brain replied, "Wait, no, one problem, Brain, what if we are sent back to our world?" Pinky asked, "I will still be able to control this world with my mind from there, I will not take over one, but two worlds." Brain replied, "Egad, Brain, what a brilliant idea!" Pinky said, "Yes, now come, we must prepare my speech." Brain replied, and the two left. Phineas, Ferb, Spike, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream work together to build the roller coaster, "Good work, gang, I think we all could use a break." Phineas said, and they all agree, happy to see the roller coaster was coming together at a decent pace. Isabella, Baljeet, and Buford arrive shortly afterwards, "What'cha doin'?" Isabella asked, "Same, building the roller coaster." Phineas replied, "We're building the biggest roller coaster ever!" Silverstream said, "Yona having fun, everybody else having fun?" Yona asked, "I'll admit, it kind of is." Gallus replied, "Yeah, I can't wait until I ride it." Smolder said, "Hey, where's Perry?" Phineas asked, "Now that you mention it, I haven't seen ever since we came here." Buford replied, "Me neither, that is strange." Baljeet said, "Well, we'll worry about that later, break time's over." Phineas replied, and they all work on the roller coaster again. Fluttershy brought Rita, Runt, Bobby, Pesto, Squit, Slappy Squirrel, and Skippy Squirrel to her cottage, "Now, now make way, there's room for everybody." Fluttershy said, "Yeah, definitely enough room, definitely enough room, definitely." Runt replied, "Not really, I'd rather not have to share, but it sure beats living with Flavio and Marita." Rita said, and she begins to sing about how bad it was, "Oh no, Rita, this is a place of happiness, so no singing about bad things." Fluttershy said, "You sound nothing like Emmy." Slappy Squirrel said, "Emmy?" Fluttershy asked, "Yeah, you sound more like Cassie." Slappy Squirrel replied, much to Fluttershy's confusion, "Hey, Aunt Slappy, there are no nuts in the tree." Skippy Squirrel said, "This tree's a dunce, I'm outta here." Slappy Squirrel replied, "Where are you going?" Fluttershy asked, "Back to my original home, your tree's a wreck. Come on, Skippy." Slappy Squirrel replied, and the two left. Fluttershy hears arguing in her house, so she enters, "Huh? What's that? You think you own this cottage? Like I'm some little kid you can tramp over?" Pesto asked, Angel Bunny glared at him, "You think I'm a kid, like one of those little guys who gets his candy stolen? Like that kid who talks about Randy Beaman all the time?" Pesto asked, Angel Bunny growled at him, "That's it! Come here, I'll show you who's a kid!" Pesto said, and the two fight, Pesto was winning while Angel Bunny squealed in pain, "STOP IT!!" Fluttershy yelled at them, "ANGEL BUNNY!! PESTO!!" Fluttershy yelled, they did not stop, magic was used by Discord to separate them, "My, what a racket, I'm trying to sleep." Discord said as he sat in a chair, "Now, Pesto, I am not going to put up with your temper in my home, so don't start any fights." Fluttershy said, she hears more arguing and saw Rita arguing with another cat, she flew to them, "What is going on here?" Fluttershy asked, "She won't let me have the fish." Rita replied, "Now, now, we share in this cottage." Fluttershy said, "I don't wanna share, I want it all." Rita replied, Fluttershy glared at her, "Rita!" Fluttershy said sternly, "No! I want it all!" Rita replied, Fluttershy stares at her, which scares her into obedience, "I'll be back, everybody, I'm going to go check on Buttons." Fluttershy said, and she flew out. Fluttershy heads to Mindy's and Buttons' home and saw Mindy leave her yard as she saw a truck pass by, "Ooh, trucky." Mindy said, and she walks out of the yard, Buttons exclaims with shock and jumps out of the yard. Buttons chases Mindy and got hit by several tree branches, Mindy climbs to the top of the truck while Buttons does as well, a tree branch hits him off of the truck and Fluttershy gives chase. Buttons stands up and runs across the road, he catches up and jumps onto the back of the truck, but he falls under it, Buttons yelps as his tail and butt skid across the road, Fluttershy holds him up and tries flying while holding him, but he was too heavy and she fell. The truck arrives at a dump and Mindy goes down into the dump, Buttons yelps with shock and runs to her, he pushes her out of the way while some of the smashers smash him, Fluttershy flies and picks Mindy up and bring her home, Buttons changes back to normal and runs home, he gets ran over by several cars but keeps going. Fluttershy puts Mindy back in her harness while Buttons goes back into his doghouse, "Mindy, you've stayed here, good girl." Mindy's mother said as she came into the yard with her husband, "Buttons, you're all dirty, bad dog." Mindy's father said, "We told you not to go into the mud, no treat for you." Mindy's mother said, Buttons whimpered, Fluttershy watched and felt her rage build up, "How dare you! HOW DARE YOU!!" Fluttershy said, and she flew to Mindy's parents, "I have watched your dog rescue and get hurt every day to make sure your daughter is safe! And when he does save her and bring her back here, you two scold him for something trivial! Buttons saves and protects your daughter from serious harm, and you punish him all the time, while you two are out and doing something like admiring your things and gloating about your possessions! Buttons is not a bad dog, you two are bad parents, now apologize to Buttons or I'll make you two go after Mindy the next time she goes out of the yard!" Fluttershy said angrily, Mindy's parents were scared, and they went into their house without apologizing to Buttons. Fluttershy went to Buttons and rubbed her snout against him, "Good dog, I have a treat for you." Fluttershy said, and she flew away and came back with a piece of raw steak, Buttons was happy and eats it, Mindy runs to Buttons and hugs him, "Me love Buttons." Mindy said, Buttons smiled, "Be good now, Mindy, Buttons needs his rest." Fluttershy said, "Okay, I love you, buh-bye." Mindy replied, Fluttershy smiled and flew back to her cottage. Twilight Sparkle and Phoenix were at a hideout with Takeshi, Hayato, Taki, Tachibana, Harry, Dexter, and Aya, they had the man sitting in a chair and drinking tea, "What is your name?" Takeshi asked, "Eyes Cree." the man replied, "What happened at the scene of the murder?" Phoenix asked, "I wasn't there." Eyes Cree replied, "Where were you, then?" Takeshi asked, "I was..." Eyes Cree replied, but he suddenly stood up and tried to attack them. Twilight Sparkle uses her telekinesis to restrain him while Taki hits him to knock him out, they all check him, "There's something in his ear." Harry said, they look and took it out, "A Shocker mind controlling device." Taki said, "How do you know?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "They've used this before." Hayato replied, "Tie him up, just in case he attacks again, and guard the place, it's possible some of Shocker's henchmen are around here." Tachibana said, "How will you guys know if it's Shocker or not?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Those who work for Shocker wear a uniform." Taki replied, Eyes Cree begins to wake up, "What happened?" Eyes Cree asked, "You were controlled by Shocker." Takeshi replied, "Right, Shocker, I was forced by them to make desserts with mind controlling devices in them, it's so when kids eat them at a party, they will be controlled and brainwashed by Shocker." Eyes Cree said, shocking Phoenix and Twilight Sparkle, "I remember strange things happening back at where I worked, so that's what happened." Aya said, "Yes, we've had several Shocker cases here, too." Harry replied, "What do you know about Apu Sauce?" Dexter asked, "Apu Sauce was actually killed by Shocker, it was a monster I've never seen, he was testing a new weapon, he stabbed it into his neck, blood squirted out everywhere, Shocker is making a new one." Eyes Cree said, "What about Pays Tree? How did she get arrested for it?" Phoenix asked, "I don't know, she stumbled upon the body, but when the police came, they arrested her immediately." Eyes Cree replied, their attentions were caught, "Could it be Shocker?" Tachibana asked, "Possibly, they can disguise themselves as people." Taki replied, "I'd like to meet this Pays Tree." Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright, come with me." Phoenix replied, and they go to the police station. Phoenix and Twilight Sparkle arrive at the police station and see Mike, "What are you doing here?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "My job." Mike replied, "Your job?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "He's actually a retired cop, he was still working here when I joined." Harry replied, "Good afternoon, Mr. Callahan, Mr. Morgan." Mike said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Ehrmantraut." Harry replied, "Good afternoon." Dexter said, "I'll be heading back to Los Pollos Hermanos now, you know where to find me." Mike said, and he left, Twilight Sparkle, Aya, and Taki got a feeling he was hiding something, but they continue to Pays Tree. Twilight Sparkle, Phoenix, and the others arrive, they see Pays Tree, she was wearing pastries as clothing, which bewildered Twilight Sparkle, "Please, you have to get me out of here." Pays Tree said, "We're working on that, Pays Tree, you need to tell me what happened at the time of your arrest." Phoenix replied, "Nothing, they just arrested me on the spot without letting me say anything, and I was brought here, they were going to throw me in jail without trial until you took my case, please, you have to get me out, I think these guards are..." Pays Tree replied, but a tranquilizer was shot into her, they see two policemen and they run out of the room. Phoenix stood up with shock and the two police men entered the room Phoenix and his company were in, "You've heard enough, you won't escape." one policeman said, and they take off their disguises, revealing black outfits with a skeletal design on them. Everybody else stood up and looked at the two, "Shocker!" Takeshi said, "Go! We'll deal with them!" Taki said, and they attack, Takeshi, Hayato, Taki, and Tachibana fight them, more enter the room and they had swords with them, one of them was wearing a red uniform, they attack and Harry, Dexter, and Aya subdue them, Phoenix also did his best to fight back, Twilight Sparkle zapped the Shocker henchmen with her magic to knock them down. Phoenix and Twilight Sparkle arrive outside and saw more Shocker henchmen, they see them being knocked down by Trucy's magic tricks while Athena fought them off with her martial arts, the others arrive outside and help them fight the Shocker henchmen, Takeshi, Hayato, Taki, Dexter, and Athena subdued them easily, "Come on, let's go check on Apu Sauce." Hayato said, and they go back to where Takeshi, Hayato, Taki, and Tachibana were staying.

Vito said, and the black people cheer, "We haven't had anything this successful since Martin Luther King's 'I Have A Dream' speech." Robert said, "Black Dynamite didn't like Martin Luther King, Black Dynamite supported Malcolm X." Black Dynamite replied, "No, no, y'all black folk don't deserve this." Uncle Ruckus said, he sees the native creatures of the world glaring at him, "O... Okay, maybe they do." Uncle Ruckus said, the world's natives close in on him, making him scared, the dragons and griffons begin beating him up while Uncle Ruckus yelps in pain, Princess Celestia sighs and she waits for the new flag to be made.

Applejack asked, "It looks like what of 'em house beams gave out." Granny Smith said, "Wait, is that beer I see comin' out of the house?" Carl asked, and they do, they saw Homer swimming around and drinking it, Peter, Quagmire, Cleveland, Joe, and Carl go in to drink it as well, they hear laughing and saw Bart, Cartman, Eddy, Riley, and Shake come out, "What the? Shake, there you are, I've been wondering where you've been." Frylock said, "I was out shopping, and I stumbled to here on my way home." Shake replied, "Say, are y'all playin' a game? I wanna play." Meatwad said, "No, you're too stupid to play." Shake replied, Meatwad began to cry, "There you go, you're just a kid, as always." Shake said, and he turned around and saw Princess Celestia glaring at him, "What?" Shake asked, "Mordecai and Rigby, you better not have had a part in this." Benson said, "We're right here, Benson." Mordecai replied, and he saw him and Rigby with trash bags, "Okay, so you two didn't." Benson said, "Come on, Cartman, you're grounded." Randy said, Cartman aimed a pistol at him, causing the residents of the neighborhood to gasp, "I'm not getting punished, I demand to be let free!" Cartman replied, Randy aimed a pistol at him, "Oh no, you're not, you're grounded, now drop the gun or I'll shoot you." Randy said, and Cartman did.

Slappy Squirrel said, the beer was all gone and they saw Wakko drank all of it, "Faboo." Wakko said, "Say, Mindy, why don't ya learn some things from us?" Yakko asked, "My name's Bart." Bart replied, "Oh, sorry, it's just you and Mindy have the same voice actress." Yakko said, "Hey, Grim, why is Bart older than Mindy if they're twins?" Billy asked, "Oh, hush, you nitwit." Grim replied, the Kids Next Door went to Bart, "How would you like to be an honorary Kids Next Door operative?" Nigel asked, "What do I do?" Bart asked, "Just be on the lookout for any rotten adults, and contact us if you spot any." Hoagie replied, "Nah, I'll stick to my pranks." Bart said, "You two better not get any ideas." Benson said to Mordecai and Rigby, "Would any of you like to file charges?" Jimmy asked, "Hey! You're the guy who conned us." Flam said, "I think you have the wrong guy." Jimmy replied, "No, we don't, you can't fool us, Saul Goodman." Flim said, "No, you got the wrong guy." Jimmy replied, "No, we don't." Flim and Flam said, "Yes, you do, you said the scammer name's was Saul Goodman, I'm Jimmy McGill." Jimmy replied, Flim and Flam growled, "Look at that, someone conned Flim and Flam." Applejack said, "It's still wrong, though." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Come on, guys, let's just get on with our days." Meg said, "Who asked you?" Chris asked, "I'm just suggesting what to do next." Meg replied, "Got to your room, Meg!" Peter and Lois said together, and she went back home, shocking the world's natives, "Go on, guys, we're just get on with our days." Volvox said, everybody agreed, and they did. Princess Celestia flew to Los Pollos Hermanos because she could not shake off a feeling that Gus was hiding something sinister, she entered the restaurant and saw the food, while the french fries did make her hungry, the chicken made her lose her appetite, she went up to the employees, "Hi, welcome to Los Pollos Hermanos." a female employee said, "I'd like to speak with Gus." Princess Celestia replied, "He's in that office over there." the employee said as she pointed to her right, Princess Celestia walked into Gus' office. Gus sat in his office and Princess Celestia entered, she saw Mike standing to his right, and two people standing behind him, who were Victor and Tyrus, "Can I help you?" Gus asked, Princess Celestia walked to him and stood across from him, "I'll get straight to the point, Gus, what are you hiding?" Princess Celestia asked, "What gives you that idea?" Gus asked, Princess Celestia narrowed her eyes, "It's obvious you're hiding something, dressed nicely, always acting professional, you're acting too good to be a regular businessman." Princess Celestia replied, "Well, it is my job, I have to wear business suits." Gus said, "What about Mike over there, what does he do?" Princess Celestia asked, "I am the head of security, it is my job to train the guards to protect the employees and customers." Mike replied, "And those two?" Princess Celestia asked, "They are my bodyguards." Gus replied, "Bodyguards? For a restaurant owner?" Princess Celestia asked, "My business is the most successful restaurant in the area of our world this neighborhood resides in, there are many trying to steal my company's recipes and formulas so they can copy it and drive me and my employees out of business." Gus replied, Princess Celestia was surprised, "That many people are after you?" Princess Celestia asked, "Yes, I did not start here, the place I opened my restaurant was governed by criminals, I came here to escape from them, they are still after me." Gus replied, "Oh, I see, sorry for taking up your time." Princess Celestia said, "It's alright, I have plenty of free time, it was a pleasure to speak to you." Gus replied, and Princess Celestia left, still suspicious of Gus. Gus takes out his cellphone and calls someone, "Yes?" a male voice asked, "It's me, Don Corleone, one of the natives of this world seems to be onto us." Gus replied, "I told you, Mr. Fring, we don't do business in what you do business in." Vito said, "Yes, I understand, but if she finds out about our business, it might lead to yours, and my restaurant might lose the olive oil brand we get from you, which will affect the taste of our food, and cause us to lose customers." Gus replied, "I understand, I'll keep an eye on her." Vito said, "Will you help us?" Gus asked, "Yes." Vito replied, and he hangs up and Gus breaks the phone apart and puts it in the trash bin to the right side of his desk. Princess Celestia stood outside and watched Los Pollos Hermanos, still getting a bad feeling from Gus. The Cutie Mark Crusaders trot around and saw the Warner Siblings, "Say, what are those tattoos on your bottoms there?" Yakko asked, "They're called cutie marks." Apple Bloom replied, "When did you all get them?" Wakko asked, "2015." Sweetie Belle replied, "You three are late." Dot said, "What do you mean we're late?" Scootaloo asked, "I got my cutie mark sixteen years before you three did." Dot replied, shocking the three, "Where?" Apple Bloom asked, "Right here, on my left cheek." Dot replied, the three see it, "You can thank us, we got her the surgery to get it." Yakko said, "And I'm the one who paid for it, with a ha'penny." Wakko replied, "That doesn't count!" Scootaloo said angrily, "A cutie mark is one's special talent." Sweetie Belle said, "My special talent is being cute." Dot replied, "What kind of talent is that?!" Apple Bloom asked, "Trust me, it comes in handy a lot." Dot replied, "Uh, we'll be going now." Sweetie Belle said, and they go past the Warner Siblings. The Cutie Mark Crusaders see the rainbow monkey store and Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle run to it, they see the toys and run around to look for their sisters, they see them close by and get their attentions, they follow them, "What is it, Sweetie Belle?" Rarity asked, "I want one." Sweetie Belle replied, Rarity sees the rainbow monkey toys, "Why, Sweetie Belle, they're lovely." Rarity said with a smile, "Ah'm surprised ya want one, Apple Bloom." Applejack said, "I like how they look." Apple Bloom said, "Come on, darling, I'll get myself one as well." Rarity said, Sweetie Belle was excited and entered the shop, so did Apple Bloom and Applejack, Scootaloo shrugged and entered. The five mares enter the store and look at the rainbow monkeys, "Go on, Sweetie Belle, take your pick." Rarity said, Sweetie Belle looks at the toys, "I can't decide which one I want." Sweetie Belle replied, Rarity chuckled, "Honestly, Sweetie Belle, I can't decide, either, they're all lovely." Rarity said, Sweetie Belle smiled, they hear walking and saw Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Steven come out from the back, "What are y'all doin' here?" Applejack asked, "I'm taking care of the real rainbow monkeys in the back, Steven showed them to me." Fluttershy replied, "And I'm making them all happy and cozy on the inside, just like Steven here." Pinkie Pie said as she rubbed her left cheek on Steven's right cheek, which made Steven chuckle, "Okay, Pinkie Pie, that's enough now." Steven said, and Pinkie Pie took her cheek off of him, "You all should hang out with him, he's been coming to my cottage to help me care for my pets." Fluttershy said, "Why, that's great, I think he'll make a fine friend." Rarity replied, "Yeah, good to see someone here is friendly." Applejack said, "Actually, a lot of us are." Steven replied, "We'll be going now, I'm going to go check on the other animals." Fluttershy said, and she leaves with Pinkie Pie and Steven, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom choose their rainbow monkey, so did Rarity and Applejack, while Scootaloo sighs and waits for them. Night time comes and the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, princesses, Shining Armor, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Sunburst go to the Stray Sheep, they saw everybody there, they all decided to go see Lucas, Ethan, and Shaun, "Excuse us." Fluttershy said, the three look at them, "Where are you three at during the day?" Fluttershy asked, "I'm at school." Shaun replied, "I'm designing buildings, I'm an architect." Ethan said, "What about you, Lucas?" Sweetie Belle asked, "I mainly work with computers." Lucas replied, "Do you work at where Vincent works?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "No, I work somewhere else entirely." Lucas replied, "The wrong girl?" Jonny asked, "Yeah. The Catherine he was talking about was someone else entirely." Vincent replied, "Geez." Orlando said, "Seriously?" Jonny asked, "Well, lucky for you, this was just some dummy's mistake." Orlando said, "The world's full of troublemakers." Jonny said, "You guys'd better be careful, too. Haven't you heard the rumor?" Erica asked, "Aw, that again?" Orlando asked, "They say all the men who died were cheaters... So they were cursed." Erica said, "Just get yourself back to work." Orlando said, "Vincent isn't cheating anymore, so there's nothing to worry about." Jonny said, "The curse, huh... Oh, well, that's great. Now I've got no choice but to accept it..." Vincent said, "Well, look. When you feel guilty, sometimes you want to be punished. Know what I mean? But this curse stuff is crazy! It's not rational! Grow up, man. Besides, there are plenty of other ways to die in your sleep. Plus..." Orlando said, "Plus...?" Vincent asked, "Well... y'know... I've sorta been having... funny dreams, too..." Orlando said, "Dreams..." Vincent said, "Well, to be honest... I've been having odd dreams recently myself. And like you were saying, I don't remember exactly what they're about but..." Jonny said, "Yeah... But it's some hard stuff." Orlando said, "H-Hey, are you serious...?" Vincent asked, "It's fine. Don't worry about it, it's all about dreams." Orlando replied, "Yeah, but are you sure it's fine?" Toby asked, "Of course it's fine." Orlando replied, Vincent has thoughts go through his mind, "Anyway, this is about you, Vincent. What're you gonna do?" Orlando asked, "Huh? Oh... My nightmares were all caused by this trouble... But they've forced me to realize something." Vincent replied, "Which is?" Erica asked, "I took everything for granted... up until now. I feel like now... I remember what I've always held dearest to me." Vincent replied, "Sounds selfish to me." Jonny said, "Really..." Erica said, "I know. But I can't betray the person who's been with me all this time, despite who I am... ...I can't lose her now." Vincent replied, "Yeah! That's the spirit, Chief!" Toby said while he clapped his hands once, "Then maybe you shouldn't be here drinking right now." Erica said, "Well, yeah... I've got something left to do... Need to change my focus." Vincent replied, "I see..." Erica said, "Hey. Beer me." Orlando said, "Sure, let me get that for you." Erica replied as she walked away, "Yeah, that's right! Let's get to drinkin' while we're thinkin'! Your treat!" Toby said, "Yeah, right..." Jonny replied, and they spend their night. Roger was sitting at a booth and listening to Blackstar by David Bowie, "Who's listening to David Bowie?" Robert asked, "That's me." Roger replied, "I remember David Bowie, I was sad when he died." Dommiel said, "All of us were." Volvox replied, "I liked David Bowie, too." Cream Corn said, "What is that song called?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Blackstar." Roger replied, "Did you ever meet David Bowie, Aunt Slappy?" Skippy Squirrel asked, "Nah, he ain't really my kind of music style." Slappy Squirrel replied, "You should listen to some Gangstalicious and Thugnificent." Riley said, "Sorry, but I only like rap from the 90s." Roger replied, "I remember that, 2Pac, Biggie, and Eazy E were the most popular, shame all of them are dead." Robert said, "No matter how much music we like, I'll never forget the Grammy Award in 1989." Volvox said, "Yeah, I remember that, too, that was a load of bull." Slappy Squirrel replied, "What happened?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We had a Grammy Award for the Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental, we all thought Metallica was going to win, but the award went to Jethro Tull instead." Robert replied, "I remember that, that was a load of crap." Randy said, "I remember that, too, I was mad." Peter said, "All of us were mad." Marge replied, "I literally SHOT UP MY TV WHEN THAT HAPPENED!!" Joe yelled angrily, scaring the ponies and Spike who were in the bar, "I remember that, a riot broke out in this neighborhood when that happened." Brian said, "And Meg got hurt the most." Chris replied, the Griffin family laugh at Meg, "Were you there, dad?" Steven asked, "Of course, Steven, since I was a musician myself, the news came to me quickly." Greg replied, "We were also present for the Disco Demolition Night in 1979 as well." Yakko said, "Yeah, I remember that, too, I was actually there, in the crowd." Slappy Squirrel replied, "Shame disco popularity declined, Black Dynamite liked disco, along with George Clinton." Black Dynamite said, "Oh, I love me some George Clinton." Honey Bee replied, "Performing at a concert with George Clinton is also one of my dreams." Cream Corn said, "A lot of things happened here growing up, lot has changed." Vincent said, "That's society for you." Volvox replied, he looks down and saw Pinky and the Brain, "What schemes are you two using to take over the world this time?" Volvox asked, everybody looks at him, "Is that Admiral Pinky and President Brain?" Boss asked, the ponies, Spike, and Young Six go see them, "Oh, you two are so cute." Fluttershy said, "Look, Brain, they already like us. Narf." Pinky said, "Focus, Pinky, we activate our plan when the time is right." Brain replied, "You guys already control the country, isn't that enough?" Dommiel asked, "No, I wish to take over the world." Brain replied, "Well, so far, all of your schemes have failed, some because of Pinky, some because of you, and some because of factors beyond your control." the Count of Saint Germain said, "You can travel through time, right?" Brain asked, "Yes." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "When do I take over the world?" Brain asked, "I believe about seven decades from now." the Count of Saint Germain replied, much to Brain's shock, "I doubt someone as small as them can overthrow us." Sandbar said, "Trust me, they've actually came close several times." Volvox replied, "I'm sorry, but I just find that hard to imagine." Princess Cadence said, and they see Pinky and the Brain drinking, "Which one is Pinky?" Pinkie Pie asked, "I am. Narf." Pinky replied, "You have the same name as me." Pinkie Pie said, "Look at that, Brain, there's another me in this world." Pinky said, "I noticed, Pinky, somehow, the universe has created a hybrid between you and Pharfignewton." Brain replied, "Pharfignewton?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "A horse from our world, she's also my girlfriend." Pinky replied, surprising the ponies, Spike, and Young Six, "A mouse and a horse dating? I didn't know different types of animals could go out with one another." Fluttershy said, "Yona confused." Yona said, "I am as well." Brain replied, "So, what are you two?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I'm a genius, he's insane." Brain replied, they just look at him with a confused face and went to the others. Sunset Shimmer was with Mordecai and Rigby, Benson, Pops, Skips, Muscle Man, and Hi Five Ghost were with them, "I'd like to thank Mordecai and Rigby on that driving test, I start the City Slicking test tomorrow." Sunset Shimmer said, Mordecai and Rigby were nervous, "That one is hard, Sunset Shimmer, it's going to take a lot of tries." Mordecai said, "Did you guys beat it?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "I did, just barely." Benson replied, "You have to stay calm, no matter what, also, you can't stop or use the brakes, you will fail automatically if you do." Skips said, "What?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "You need go fast, stay cool, and watch out for traffic, if you need it, I can give you a few tips." Muscle Man replied, "I'll try on my own first, thanks." Sunset Shimmer said, and she drank with them. Yakko, Wakko, and Dot sat together and Wakko ate all of the pizza and peanuts in the bar, "Don't you have anymore, Wakko?" Yakko asked, Wakko takes out his gag bag and takes out more pizza, surprising the world's natives who were there, Pinkie Pie hopped to him, "What else you have in there?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Pretty much everything you can imagine." Wakko replied, and a second Pinkie Pie came out, much to the rest of the Mane Six's shocks, but it was zapped away and Discord appeared, "Why keep a bag when you have someone who can do it with their powers?" Discord asked, "Because you won't be able to if you die." Dot replied, "Excuse me, but I am immortal." Discord said, "Yeah, because you were on Star Trek." Yakko replied, "That is not what I meant." Discord said, "Yes, it is." Yakko, Wakko, and Dot said, "No, it's not." Discord said, "Yes, it is." Yakko, Wakko, and Dot said, "No, it's not." Discord said, "Yes, it is." Yakko, Wakko, and Dot said, "Yes, it is." Discord said, "No, it's..." Yakko, Wakko, and Dot said, but stopped, "What?" Dot asked, "Hey!" Yakko said, "Nice try, but that game doesn't work on me." Discord replied, and he takes Wakko's gag bag, "Now, to do..." Discord said, "Actually, since you're playing the bad guy, the script says you have to tell us your plan before you act it out." Yakko said, Discord shoots out eye beams and burns the story's script, "No, I don't, I'm not a James Bond villain." Discord said, and he uses the gag bag to make a cannon come out, he fires it at the wall and it goes through, they see Discord was aiming for the Katamari, "Oh, that his plan, it's so the stars and moon don't come back." Yakko said, Princess Luna becomes shocked and flies to the hole, she sees several stars have returned, but the moon was not back, "Yes!" Discord said, "If only he knew." Dot said, "Knew what?" Discord asked, he sees the cannonball hit the Katamari, but rather than destroying it, it got stuck onto the Katamari, "What?" Discord asked, Pinkie Pie dashed to him, "I want a Katamari!" Pinkie Pie said, "Oh no, Pinkie Pie, I don't think that's a good idea." Twilight Sparkle replied as she pushed her away, "Hey, look, the Prince rolled up Caillou." Yakko said, and they heard Caillou crying as he was stuck on the Katamari, everyone was speechless, they soon saw the King of All Cosmos take up the Katamari and make it into a star, making the world's natives uneasy, while the people in the neighborhood just went on drinking. Courage screams and he ran into the Stray Sheep since the King of all Cosmos scared him, he panted and he saw Fluttershy fly to him, "Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked, Courage screamed with fear at seeing her, "Hey, it's okay, I'm friendly, see?" Fluttershy asked, and she wrapped her wings around him, Courage's fear went away and he felt comfort, "Come along now." Fluttershy said, and Courage followed her to her friends. Professor Utonium was attending to an injured Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup, "Now, girls, this is why I told you three to be careful when fighting crime, this Mr. Salacia is a new enemy." Professor Utonium said, "He still scares me." Bubbles said, "I don't get it, just what is he?" Blossom asked, "Yeah, he's almost like HIM." Buttercup said, "I don't know, girls, but you all saw how powerful Mr. Salacia was, you must take extreme caution when near him." Professor Utonium said, the world's natives took note of what they were talking about. Everybody goes home and Vincent left after a few drinks, the world's natives also head home and sleep for the night. Princess Luna goes into the dream realm and brought all of the dreams together, they see Bubbles having a nightmare and saw Mr. Salacia, shocking the ponies and Spike, Princess Luna zaps it away while the others were concerned. Everypony and Spike looks and saw Vincent having the dream again, "Where are they at now?" Applejack asked, "It looks like a giant spiral staircase." Rainbow Dash replied, they watch and saw Vincent make it to the top, he went up to the next landing. Vincent goes up and saw everybody was still there, he saw a new sheep, "Who is that?" Vincent asked, "It's me, Vincent." the sheep replied, Vincent realized it was Tom, "Sarah still won't let you in the house?" Vincent asked, "No." Tom replied, "Well, go on, Vincent, we can't think of anymore new moves." Dommiel said, and Vincent went, "Where is everybody?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's just Volvox, Dommiel, that Saint Germain guy, Giovi, and Tom." Applejack replied, they saw Vincent go to the confessional booth, answer the question, and goes up to the next place. Vincent climbs and collected the gold coins along the way, he got up to the top in a few minutes while solving the puzzles, he goes up to the next landing. Vincent goes up and saw Volvox, Dommiel, and the Count of Saint Germain, "Where's Giovi and Tom?" Vincent asked, "They already went up, we'll be going soon." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "What are you three doing?" Vincent asked, "We are trying to find out who is behind that glass there, I think I know who it is, it's one of the demons of Ars Goetia, all seventy two of them used to serve under me." Volvox replied, "Oh, well, I'll be going then." Vincent said, he spoke with the voice, answered the question, and went up. Vincent arrives at the third stage and climbs up the blocks, he almost got stuck in a few areas, "Wow, tonight is actually pretty long." Shining Armor said, "That reminds me, what time is it?" Sweetie Belle asked, "I don't know, since the moon and stars are not completely back, yet." Princess Luna replied, they watched Vincent climb and he made it to the top, he goes up to the next landing. Vincent arrives and saw only Volvox and Dommiel were there, "Giovi and the Count of Saint Germain already left, we're going last." Dommiel said, "Oh, okay, I'll be on my way, then." Vincent replied, and he went into the confessional booth, answered the question, and went up to the next area. Vincent arrives at the fourth area and saw the end was already close to him, "Ha! That's easy, I can get up there in less than ten seconds." Rainbow Dash said, "Rainbow Dash, remember, Vincent doesn't have wings, he can't fly." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Maybe I can make it up there." Pinkie Pie said, they saw Vincent arrive at the top and he goes up to the next landing. Vincent arrives and everypony and Spike saw a sheep with a tie, Vincent tried to talk to him, but it made the sheep angry, "My, how rude." Rarity said, and they saw Vincent go into the booth, he was told this was the last question and he answers it, he goes up to the next area. Vincent arrives at the fifth area, "Vincent Brooks... How are you feeling?" a male voice asked, "Wh... Who's there?!" Vincent asked, "Who, you ask...?" a male voice asked as it comes up, it had a black body, a white smiling mask on its face, and a yellow left eye, its right eye could not be seen, "Someone you know all too well." the being said and laughed, Vincent screamed in terror along with the foals, so did Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle. Vincent runs across the blocks and comes to a pile of blocks, the shadow appears behind it, "It's too late." the being said, and it knocks the pile down, the left half of its mask broke off, and Vincent kept climbing. Vincent keeps going and the being makes it pitch black, "What?! How is he supposed to see?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "It's alright, Rainbow, see, the area he's at is still lit up pretty good." Applejack replied, and they see it, Vincent keeps climbing and arrives at the exit, they saw the same sheep with the tie, they converse and learn the sheep's name is Steve, they talk about Catherine and realize they might be the same person. The black being comes up and his mask breaks off, revealing he has the same face as Vincent, which shocked the ponies and Spike, "Hey, come on!" Vincent said, but the being grabs Steve and eats him, horrifying the ponies and Spike, it smiles at Vincent and he opens the door and runs out of the area, the night ended when he entered and everypony and Spike exited the dream realm. The next morning comes and the Mane Six look through the window at Vincent's home, Catherine was not there, he sighs in relief and heads outside, he just head straight to work while ignoring the Mane Six, making them worried, but they continue with their days. Sunset Shimmer does the City Slicking test, it was the last driving test, and she was having trouble, Mordecai and Rigby guided her, she was getting more and more irritated, "Come on, move out of the way!" Sunset Shimmer said, she crashes and hits a vehicle that was driving on the wrong side of the road, "What are you doing?!" Sunset Shimmer asked angrily, and she had to start over, she tries again and ends up flipping the car over since the Super GT was hard to control, she growls loudly as she started over, she drives again and the car fishtails, she crashes into a tree and bent the front bumper, she let out a loud groan and started over, she drives again and was about to crash, but she hit the emergency brakes and stopped the car, which made her fail, "Come on! This is ridiculous!" Sunset Shimmer said, "Trust me, Sunset Shimmer, it took me and Rigby months to pass this one." Mordecai replied, "Yeah, and we tried like ten times every day." Rigby said, "What medal did you guys get?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Bronze, we just barely passed." Mordecai replied, "Oh, I see, well, let's try again." Sunset Shimmer said, and she did, she drives and was about to make it to the finish line, but hits a police car parked right in front of it, "What?! What are you doing?!" Sunset Shimmer asked, the police sirens come on and was about to arrest Sunset Shimmer, "What was my time, Rigby?" Sunset Shimmer asked, Rigby looks, "Oh, you would've passed." Rigby replied, Sunset Shimmer growls furiously and floors the accelerator, she hits the police into the wall and tries again. Sunset Shimmer keeps trying and did not finish until after about the twenty third try, "Argh! I got silver!" Sunset Shimmer said, and she drives again while growling, she keeps trying and was getting road rage from the traffic, Sunset Shimmer kept trying but was tired, "I give up for today, let's try again tomorrow." Sunset Shimmer said, and she walked away, "Where are you going?" Mordecai asked, "I'm going to go see the others in this neighborhood." Sunset Shimmer replied, and she walked away while Mordecai and Rigby went back to work. Pinkie Pie decided to expand her business into the neighborhood, and for some reason, she already knew how to use a telephone, she was delivering pizza, and got her first call, and she hopped to the destination. Pinkie Pie hops to where the caller lived, it was the Watterson residence, she sees a paper that says deliver at the back door, so she hopped there and put the pizza box on the ground, and knocked on the door three times with front right hoof. Gumball, Darwin, Bart, Riley, Eddy, Shake, Carl, and Roger were in the house, Roger uses his powers to turn on the computer and play a video on Youtube,, "Who is it?" the man on the computer asked, "Pinkie Pie, here with your yummy to the tummy deluxe sized super party pizza!" Pinkie Pie replied, Roger clicks to a part of the video, "Leave it on the doorstep and get the hell out of here." the man on the video said, Pinkie Pie stopped smiling and had a bewildered face, "Um, what about my bits?" Pinkie Pie asked, confusing the people in the house, they shrug and Roger moves the video to the next part, "What money?" the man on the video asked, "You have to pay for the pizza." Pinkie Pie replied in a deadpan by stern tone, Roger clicks to move the video to another part, "Is that a fact? How much do I owe ya?" the man on the video asked, "That'll be three bits." Pinkie Pie replied, and Richard tells Gumball with a head gesture to give her the money, which was three pennies, it is put outside through the flap door at the bottom of the back door, Pinkie Pie sees it and sits to count the pennies, she takes them, Roger moves the video to another part, "Keep the change, you filthy animal." the man on the video said, "Meanie." Pinkie Pie said as she began to walk away, Roger moves the video back, "Hey." the man on the video said, "Huh?" Pinkie Pie asked while looking over her right shoulder, "I'm gonna give you to the count of ten, to get your ugly, yellow, no good keister off of my property, before I pump your guts full of lead. One, two, ten." the man on the video said, and he begins firing a Tommy Gun while laughing manically. Pinkie Pie was scared and ran away while screaming, she tripped while heading to the front yard but got back up, she ran away while screaming in terror. Richard opens the door and takes in the pizza, he eats it with Gumball, Darwin, Bart, Riley, Shake, Carl, and Roger and they laugh at what they just pulled off. Rarity was in the neighborhood and chasing after a female human thief, who stole one of her hats, "Stop! Thief! Come back here!" Rarity said as she ran to her, they enter an apartment and she uses the elevator, Rarity calls for an elevator and it comes down, it goes up to the next floor and Rarity saw the thief enter a room, Rarity heads into the room while the thief turns on the TV, which Rarity did not see, "Hold it right there." the man on the TV said, Rarity stopped, "I am in the middle of catching a thief, who has stolen one of my most fashionable hats!" Rarity said, "I know who you are, I can smell you getting off the elevator." the man on the TV said, Rarity blushed and her entire face turned deep red with embarrassment, "Well, I am wearing a new type of perfume." Rarity said, she heard Rainbow Dash laughing outside, who overheard what the man on the TV said, "Rainbow Dash." Rarity grumbled under her breath, "You was here, too, last night. Wasn't ya?" the man on the TV asked, "Yes... I was, to try to get rid of that sagging trend, it is so disgusting." Rarity replied, "You was here, and you were smoochin' with my brother." the man on the TV said, Rarity exclaimed with great shock, "Why, I most certainly was not!" Rarity said, "Don't give me that. You've been smooching with everybody! Snuffy, Al, Leo, Little Moe with the gimpy leg, Cheeks, Boney, Bob, Cliff... I could go on forever, baby." the man on the TV said, which humiliated Rarity, "I did not do such a thing!" Rarity said angrily, "Alright, I believe you, but my Tommy Gun don't! Get on your knees and tell me you love me!" the man on the TV said, Rarity's feeling were very hurt, she began to cry dramatically, "How could you?! How could you make a lady give up her dignity like this?!" Rarity asked while crying dramatically, "You gotta do better than that!" the man on the TV said, Rarity cried dramatically even louder, "This is too cruel, out of all of the things in the world, I have to pledge my love to you, a lowlife ruffian who doesn't even know the first thing about romance!" Rarity said, "Maybe I'm off my hinges, but I believe you. That's why I'm gonna let you go. I'm gonna give you till the count of three to get your lousy, lying, low-down, four-flushing carcass out my door! One, two..." the man on the TV said, and he began firing his Tommy Gun while laughing maniacally, Rarity screamed with fear and ran out of the room and then got on her stomach with her front hoofs covering her head while the man continued firing, he soon stopped, "Three. Merry Christmas, you filthy animal." the man on the TV said, he shot more bullets, "And a Happy New Year." the man on the TV said, and he shot one more bullet. Rarity crawled out of the apartment while panting with fear, she arrives outside and saw the thief was nowhere to be found, she let out an angry groan and went back to her shop to make the hat again. Volvox and Dommiel were outside and watching the neighborhood, they hear Tom singing Let It Burn by Usher in their house, they could not help but laugh at his terrible singing and messing up the lyrics, they hear motorcycles and saw Chibs coming with the rest of the Sons of Anarchy gang, Tig was to his right, and Happy was to his left, they park in front of him and Chibs, Tig, and Happy walked to them, "What brings you guys here?" Volvox asked, "We have been told one of our trades went wrong and sent the guns to your house." Chibs replied, "We didn't receive any weapons today." Dommiel said, "How do we know you're not lying?" Chibs asked, "You're free to look inside of our home." Volvox replied, and the Sons of Anarchy enters his house. The gang checks Volvox's home and hear Tom singing, they laugh at his terrible singing, but they continue checking and saw Volvox did not have their weapons, they come out and go to him, "You were right, I don't know why we were told you had it." Chibs said, "Maybe the people who did are actually the thieves." Volvox replied, the Sons of Anarchy gang thought about it and decided to give it a try, they were about to take off but Rainbow Dash flew to them, "Wow, these look so cool." Rainbow Dash said as she looked at the motorcycles, "Thanks, they're all custom made." Tig replied, Rarity was heading back to her shop but sees the gang, she goes over and sees their sleeveless jackets, "Ugh, I can't say that skull is attractive." Rarity said, the gang looks at her, "You don't like it?" Chibs asked, "Not really, but it is better than those who are wearing their pants below their bottoms." Rarity replied, she looked back and saw a lot of residents in the neighborhood sagging, which made her cringe, "Well, I'm sorry, lady, but we have business to conduct elsewhere." Chibs said, and he drove away with the rest of the gang following him, everybody else there went on with their days. Feather Bangs was in the neighborhood and he began to sing with his autotune, "Hey, buddy." Stan said, Feather Bangs looked at him, "You should see our version of you." Stan said, Feather Bangs and saw Justin Bieber singing Baby with autotune while grabbing his crotch, which horrified Feather Bangs, the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Pinkie Pie screamed with shock and Pinkie Pie used her reality warping powers to poof him away, "No! That is not dancing!" Pinkie Pie said, "Michael Jackson would disagree." Cartman replied, "This is dancing!" Pinkie Pie said, and she danced while the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Feather Bangs joined her, Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny just watch. Rarity trots around a few hours after finishing remaking the hat that was stolen from her and sees humans dressed in strange clothing, she goes to them, "What are you all wearing?" Rarity asked, "We're cosplaying." one boy replied, "Cosplaying?" Rarity asked, "You know, when you dress up as a character from a TV show, book, movie, or anime." a girl said, "So, who are you all supposed to be?" Rarity asked, "I'm Ichigo from Bleach." the boy replied, "I cannot say I like that mask, though." Rarity said, "I'm Konata from Lucky Star." the girl said, "I'm Luffy from One Piece." a second boy said, "I'm Kid Muscle from Ultimate Muscle." a third boy said, "I'm Sakura from Naruto." a second girl said, "I'm Goku from Dragon Ball." a fourth boy said, "I'm Yoruichi from Bleach." a third girl said, "I'm Hei from Darker Than Black." a fifth boy said, "What a strange looking mask you have on." Rarity said, "I'm Natsu from Fairy Tale." a sixth boy said, "I'm Kurumi from Date A Live." a fourth girl said, Rarity looked at them with bewilderment, "I must say, you all have some weird outfits on." Rarity said, "There's more over there." the fifth boy said while pointing to his right, and Rarity saw five more boys, one was dressed up like Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars, and the other three were dressed up like Jim, Bones, and Spock from Star Trek, "This cosplaying fashion intrigues me, please, I must see more." Rarity said, "They're all over the neighborhood, you just need to walk around a bit." the second girl replied, and Rarity did. Rarity looks around and saw a lot of cosplaying in the neighborhood, she trotted around and liked some more than others, she did not admit that deep down, they were giving her ideas and inspirations for new fashion, she also saw people sagging their pants wearing bling, which hurt her eyes due to how much gold there was, "Ugh." Rarity said as she saw the sagging, "I really hope that fashion goes away." Rarity said, and she trots more. Rarity trots but stops when she sees Rainbow Dash with some of the humans, "See, that is how you act cool." Rainbow Dash said, "We don't use cool no more." a human in a black business suit said, Rainbow Dash then remembered, "Plus, you're outdated, I got swag." the human said, Rainbow Dash thought about it, "Twenty percent more swag. Ugh, that doesn't sound right." Rainbow Dash said, "Well, go on, we have to get on with our days." the man said, "True, talk to ya later." Rainbow Dash replied, and she flew away, Rarity was not liking the neighborhood's slang either, but she decides to keep trotting around to look for cosplayers. Twilight Sparkle, Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and Flurry Heart all decided to go see Lucas, Ethan, and Shaun, they ask about what they did, Lucas talked about his powers and the Orange Clan and the Purple Clan, "Still though, the thought of a clan controlling society and no one knowing about them." Shining Armor said, "That's scary." Princess Cadence said, "Well, I never met them, I fought their enforcer, the Oracle, he and I have the same powers." Lucas replied, "What about this Purple Clan?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "They're the ones who revived me." Lucas replied, "Wait, you mean, you're...?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yeah, I'm dead." Lucas replied, "What about your wife, Carla?" Shining Armor asked, "She's out of the neighborhood right now." Lucas replied, "You said, you had a girlfriend before her, right?" Princess Cadence asked, "Yeah, Tiffany, she was killed alongside with me, but she wasn't revived by the Purple Clan like how I was." Lucas replied, surprising Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, Twilight Sparkle, and Flurry Heart, "What about you, Ethan, what's your story?" Twilight Sparkle asked, and Ethan talked about Jason, Grace, Shaun, and the five trials he had to go through to save Shaun, "Wow, I can't believe it, you had to go through all of that danger and hardships just to save your son." Twilight Sparkle said, "Dad and I have been together ever since, mom divorced him after Jason died." Shaun replied, "You're a good father, Ethan, you went through more dangers to save your son than I have to save my daughter." Shining Armor said, "Well, if you wish, I can babysit Shaun and be a surrogate mother to him." Princess Cadence said, "It's fine, Steven and his family also come to see me, I already have several surrogate mothers." Shaun replied, "Oh, well, I guess you won't need me, then." Princess Cadence said, "I'll look up to your example, Ethan, if Flurry Heart gets into the same situation, I'll go to the same lengths as you to save her." Shining Armor said, "Good luck, I'm glad I'm not the only one." Ethan replied, the four ponies smile, "Well, good luck on being a father, Ethan, you deserve your happiness." Twilight Sparkle said, Ethan smiled and they hugged Lucas, Ethan, and Shaun and left.

Phineas said, "Wow, it is huge!" Sandbar said, "Come on, everybody, let's ride it." Phineas said, and they board it while cheering, unbeknownst to them, Pinky and the Brain were watching them on television, with Brain ready to broadcast himself, "Now, Pinky, activate the devices!" Brain said, and he does, hypnotizing waves were sent out across the world from the roller coaster while it was in the sky, everybody was under control, "Yes!" Brain said as he saw it succeed, "Now, Pinky, put me on live!" Brain said, and he appeared on television, he also had a microphone hooked to loudspeakers so those outside the neighborhood can also hear him, "Attention all dwellers of this world. I am the Brain, from now on, I am your ruler, and you will obey me, for I have taken over your world, and will rule over this world for generations to come. My first command is..." Brain said, but Discord appeared in the area, which made him yelp, "How can you have taken over world when you haven't hypnotized me?" Discord asked, "What? How? Impossible!" Brain said with disbelief, "Brain, the roller coaster!" Pinky said, it goes down but Discord snaps his fingers and makes the hypnotizing devices disappear, "Noooo!" Brain said as his the signals disappeared and everybody was normal again, Brain looked down in despair and defeat while Discord's laugh echoed throughout the area. Phoenix was seeing to Trucy and Athena to make sure they were okay, running was heard and Apollo came, much to their surprises, "Apollo! How did you get here?" Phoenix asked, "Some white horse summoned me here when she said you and the others were in danger." Apollo replied, Phoenix was surprised to see Princess Celestia found Apollo, "Mr. Callahan, Mr. Morgan, and Ms. Brea already filled me in on the case, I heard there's a third person." Apollo said, "Yeah, Mel Hombre, Edgeworth's interviewing him." Phoenix replied, "I was also told about the Shocker from Taki, I'm here to defend you, Wright." Apollo said, "Thanks, Apollo, but you should be careful of them as well." Phoenix replied. The door opens and they saw Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Trixie enter, they go to him, "Oh, who is this?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Apollo Justice, my first apprentice." Phoenix replied, "Oh, you're Apollo, Phoenix told us about you." Twilight Sparkle said, "You know them, Phoenix?" Apollo asked, "Yeah, you see..." Phoenix replied, and he talked about the first time he visited Equestria, "Wow, and I thought our cases were crazy." Apollo said, "I was going to be sent to the sun for a crime I didn't commit, but Phoenix got me out." Rainbow Dash said, "The Great and Powerful Trixie remembers the case, Trixie lost against Phoenix." Trixie said, "Well, the trial's tomorrow, and Edgeworth is my rival." Phoenix replied, "Ah remember the last trial." Apple Bloom said, "I remember it, too." Scootaloo said, "I wanna come!" Sweetie Belle said, "Of course you can come, Sweetie Belle." Phoenix replied, Sweetie Belle smiled, "Apollo Justice is doing fine!" Apollo said, "Athena Cykes is doing fine!" Athena said, "What are they doing?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's a confidence booster for them." Phoenix replied, they look and watch them, "Can we hang out with you, Phoenix?" Spike asked, "I'm sorry, but I have to get ready for tomorrow's trial, you all should go." Phoenix replied, and they left while Phoenix got ready for tomorrow's trial. Several hours pass and Onizuka took the class to the police station for a field trip, the world's natives went back home already, Bart saw megaphones, he grabbed one, "Testing." Bart said, he put a second one in front of it, "Testing." Bart said, it was louder, he looks at the others and gets an idea. Bart puts fifteen megaphones together and turns them on, a fly flies by it and it shook the megaphones, Bart laughed to himself and licked his lips, he leans towards the closest megaphone, "Testing." Bart said, he is shot back and the megaphones fly away. A shock wave is sent around the neighborhood and it destroys all of the glass in the neighborhood, the world's natives heard it as well; Volvox was with Dommiel and Tom, Tom was playing golf, "I think I'm getting a hold of this game." Tom said, "You only started playing golf because you watched Happy Gilmore." Dommiel replied, Tom hits the ball and Bart's megaphone voice sends the ball flying out of bounds, "No!" Tom said while Volvox and Dommiel chuckled; Pinkie Pie was making a souffle and it was complete, Bart's voice on the megaphones comes to Sugarcube Corner and makes all of the glass in the shop break, Pinkie Pie screamed while the glass flew towards her, the souffle exploded in the process, "Nooooooooooooo!" Pinkie Pie said as she was on her hind knees with her front legs in the air; Rarity was cleaning Carousel Boutique and was done, "Ah, after three hours of cleaning nonstop, and at last, everything is spotless." Rarity said, Bart's megaphone voice comes to the boutique and all of the glass shatters, and everything Rarity just cleaned gets on the floor, walls, and ceiling, making it even messier than when she began, Rarity fell to the floor and cried, "Why? Oh, why? Oh, why?" Rarity asked, and she bawled. The residents of Ponyville and Princess Celestia flew to the neighborhood and complained, they saw it was Bart who did it, which made Bullhorn, Cream Corn, Honey Bee, Carl, Eddy, Riley, Cartman, Hoagie, and Shake laugh, "Damn *burp* it, Bart, we *burp* have to start over because of *burp* your prank!" Rick said, Bart laughed, "Do you know how much we have to pay to fix this?!" Buttercup asked, "Don't worry, I can undo it." Roger replied, and he used his godlike powers to undo the damage, while the Prince rolled up the pieces of glass with the Katamari, "That is it!" Twilight Sparkle said and everybody looked at her, "I am having you all attend the School of Friendship!" Twilight Sparkle said, "Most of us already finished school." Robert replied, "The School of Friendship doesn't work that way, come with me, all of you!" Twilight Sparkle said, and she leads them. Huey, Riley, Jazmine, Bart, Lisa, Chris, Meg, Stewie, Gumball, Darwin, Anais, Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, Butters, Nigel, Hoagie, Kuki, Wally, Abby, Billy, Mandy, Steven, Skippy Squirrel, Ed, Edd, Eddy, Bubbles, Blossom, Buttercup, Nick, Lance, Alice, Mercer, Silver, Rock, Aero, Randy, Onizuka, Yakko, Wakko, Dot, Rita, Runt, Buttons, Mindy, Bobby, Pesto, Squit, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Bismuth, Peridot, Lapis Lazuli, Greg, Shake, Frylock, Meatwad, Grim, and Slappy Squirrel were taken to the School of Friendship, Pinkie Pie's class was the first one, "Hello, everyone, welcome to your first class, I will teach you all how to have fun." Pinkie Pie said, "Have fun?! That is the most ridiculous school subject I have ever heard!" Nigel replied, "Guys, this isn't a normal school, this school teaches friendship." Sandbar said, "But how is someone able to teach how to have fun? Not everybody enjoys the same activities." Blossom replied, "My job is to get you all to participate in an activity that's fun. Let's start with you, Shake, what do you do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Oh, that one's easy, this is fun." Shake replied, and he picked up Meatwad and threw him against a desk, "Ow!" Meatwad said as he fell and the objects got stuck in him, "No, Shake, we have fun without hurting others." Pinkie Pie said, "Oh wait, I know something that's fun and teaches friendship, the international friendship song." Yakko said, "Ooh, I wanna hear it." Pinkie Pie replied, the Young Six agreed, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot began to sing, "Ist das nicht ein Pinkie's gut?" Yakko asked, Pinkie Pie felt embarrassed, "Ja, das ist ein Pinkie's gut." Wakko and Dot said, "Ist das nicht ein Pinkie's butt?" Yakko asked, Pinkie Pie screamed out of shock, "Ja, das ist ein Pinkie's butt." Wakko and Dot replied, "Pinkie's gut, Pinkie's butt. Oh, du schöne, oh, du schöne, Oh, du schöne schnitzelbank!" Yakko, Wakko, and Dot said together, "Stop! Stop! Stop!" Pinkie Pie said, and they did, "What kind of international friendship song is this?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "Exactly what it is." Yakko replied, Pinkie Pie hears laughing and saw Riley, Bart, Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, Butters, Hoagie, Kuki, Wally, Abby, Eddy, Buttercup, Nick, Lance, Mercer, Aero, Randy, Onizuka, Rita, Mindy, Amethyst, Shake, Grim, Slappy Squirrel, Gallus, Yona, and Smolder were laughing, "Yona want to learn song." Yona said, "No! I'm not having fun!" Pinkie Pie replied, they continue laughing, "Do you have any instruments, Pinkie Pie?" Steven asked, "Sure, what do you play?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Uh, a ukulele." Steven replied, Pinkie Pie was speechless, "I don't think I have that one." Pinkie Pie said, "I do." Wakko replied, and he took one out of his gag bag, and he gave it to him, Steven plays music and Pinkie Pie enjoyed it, she joined in and played her instruments, Kuki joined in to dance, Steven finished the song, "Wow! Where'd you learn to play?" Pinkie Pie asked, "My dad taught me." Steven replied, "Really?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "Yup, I was a musician before Steven was born." Greg replied, "What do you play?" Pinkie Pie asked excitedly, "An electric guitar." Greg replied, "I have an acoustic guitar." Pinkie Pie said, "I play that, too." Greg replied, and Pinkie Pie gave it to him, "Okay, here goes." Greg said, and he plays a song, the Young Six enjoyed it while some of the residents from the neighborhood did not, "This isn't fun!" Wally said, "I must agree with Numbuh Four, we have better things to do." Nigel replied, "I have fun when I fight." Mercer said, Pesto, Amethyst, Cartman, Bart, Riley, and Mandy agreed, "No, no, no, we are not doing that." Pinkie Pie replied, "Can we learn something useful for once?" Anais asked, "Yeah, this information seems useless so far." Lisa said, "Well, my job is to teach you guys how to have fun." Pinkie Pie replied, "We have fun from actually learning new things." Anais said, "And Darwin and I have fun from doing pranks." Gumball said, "I did a prank earlier today." Bart replied, "Yeah, we saw that." Darwin said, "No, don't get me wrong, I like pranks, too, but we don't do pranks that causes destruction or harm to others here." Pinkie Pie replied, the others look at her, "What do the rest of you do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "This!" Peridot replied, and she shapes the metallic objects in the class to different shapes, the Young Six were in awe, "I like to do this." Lapis Lazuli said, and she makes her water wings take on different shapes, Silverstream was excited and flew into her wings, she changed to a seapony and swam around, "Can you please get out, I'm not comfortable with that." Lapis Lazuli said, Silverstream changed back to a hippogriff and flew back to her seat, "Sorry." Silverstream said, the bell rung shortly afterwards, "Already?" Gallus asked, "Well, it's late, so we have to shorten class today, onto your next class, everybody." Pinkie Pie said, and they exited the room. The worlds natives walk through the hallway, "What kind of school is this? It's as boring as a regular school." Bart said, "It teaches friendship, Pinkie Pie's class teaches how to have fun." Ocellus replied, "That is actually impossible since not everyone enjoys the same activities." Huey said, "Yeah, some of us like fighting and hitting others." Buttercup said, "I like givin' people explosives, always makes me laugh." Slappy Squirrel said, "Guys, Pinkie Pie teaches how to have fun without hurting others." Sandbar replied, "Well, tell her to find another way." Bobby said, "Yeah, I like hurtin' others, it's funny." Pesto said, "Fighting is kind of what us Goodfeathers do." Squit said, "Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, and I like going on adventures and playing with weapons." Butters said, "I join them sometimes as well." Randy said, "What was your original teacher's class like?" Silverstream asked, "Better than this place so far." Stan replied, "Really?" Smolder asked, "Yeah, Onizuka's an awesome teacher." Kyle replied, Onizuka did a pose while crossing his arms and sporting the most arrogant smile on his face, "Come on, we have to go to our next class, we'll be late." Sandbar said, "Where do we go next, Yakko?" Dot asked, Yakko had a script with him, "According to this story's script, we're going to Fluttershy's class next." Yakko replied, "This way, guys." Sandbar said, and they go. Everybody arrives into Fluttershy's class, "Hello, everyone, I hope you all get nice and comfy, today, I'll be teaching you all about animals." Fluttershy said, "Oh no, we've had enough problems with ManBearPig." Kyle replied, "ManBearPig?" Fluttershy asked, "Dangerous animal from our world." Stan replied, "Funny you say that, he's right here in my box." Dot said, and he came out, scaring the animals, it went back in a few seconds later, "Th... that's not an animal." Fluttershy said, she sighed and pulled herself together, "Okay, I'm going to teach you all how to take care of these animals and how to get along with them." Fluttershy said, "Teach us?! Forget teaching, I'm frickin' hungry!" Carl said, "Yeah, I say we eat them." Shake said, "Me too, that's a lot of food for us." Riley said, "We'll probably be mauled to death if we try." Huey replied, they look and saw how many animals were ready to fight them, "Hope you don't have a wolf, a squid, or a bison, can't stand them." Slappy Squirrel said, "Why not?" Fluttershy asked, "Past experiences." Slappy Squirrel replied, "I should've brought Hand Banana here." Shake said, "Or Spaghetti." Carl replied and laughs, "What kind of dogs were those two?" Fluttershy asked, "Is something wrong with them?" Shake asked, "Yes, Hand Banana was shaped like your hand, and Spaghetti had the same body and hair as him." Fluttershy said, "I'll leave that up to your imagination." Shake replied and laughs; Bobby, Pesto, and Squit look at the animals, "Is that a sparrow I see over there?" Bobby asked, Pesto and Squit look, "It is a sparrow! Come here! I'll uppercut your beak off!" and Pesto was flying to fight the sparrow, Fluttershy flew in front of him and stares at him, it scared Pesto and he flew down, "What's gotten into you?" Fluttershy asked, "Sorry, from where we're from, sparrows are our enemies." Squit replied, "Why?" Fluttershy asked, "Rival gang." Bobby said, "Gang?!" Fluttershy asked with shock, Riley laughed, "That's right, I look up to these three, they're gangsta." Riley said, "What's that supposed to mean? You're saying I'm gangsta?" Pesto asked, "Yeah, it's cool." Riley replied, "I'm gangsta? You're saying I'm gangsta? Like I'm some puny little runt you can step on and walk over? Is that what you're saying?" Pesto asked, "No, I just said you're gangsta." Riley replied, "That's it! I'll show you gangsta!" Pesto said and he began to attack Riley, "PESTO!!" Fluttershy yelled and she stared at him again, which made him stop, Riley looked back and saw her, it made him obey her as well, "Better, now to talk about the animals." Fluttershy said, and she did, Kuki loved the animals while Huey provided information on which parts of the animals were edible to eat, which Fluttershy was not happy about, the bell rung afterwards, "Have a good day, everyone." Fluttershy said, "Next up is Rarity." Yakko said, Smolder sighed while the others went to her class, "You remind me of a very young Dr. Dolittle." Slappy Squirrel said to Fluttershy, and she left with the others. Everybody sat and Rarity was ready to teach, "Welcome class, today, we'll be making fashion." Rarity said, and she turned around to get the supplies, "Hello, equine nurse." Yakko and Wakko said, Rarity was disturbed and turned around, "I am not a nurse!" Rarity said, "Boys, go fig." Dot said, "Now then, class, we'll be making outfits, and be sure you share, supplies are limited." Rarity said, and she handed them out with her telekinesis. Pearl was making her outfits easily, "Pearl, you're being a bit specific." Garnet said, "Everything has to be symmetrical." Pearl replied, "I have no idea on how to do this." Lapis Lazuli said, "Me neither." Peridot replied, "I finished." Bismuth said, and she shows off a suit of armor, Rarity screamed and ran to her, "No, we are making outfits, not armor." Rarity said, "Actually, they're the same thing to us." Amethyst said, "Yeah, Bismuth's job is to build things, fashion isn't really her thing." Steven said, "Uh-huh! I got you now, needle!" Peridot said, and she made the needle float in midair, surprising the world's natives, "Uh, darling, what is your name?" Rarity asked, "Peridot Facet-2F5L Cut-5XG." Peridot replied, "I can't say I like your hairstyle, it doesn't look very fashionable." Rarity said, "I was made this way." Peridot replied, "I can't say I like that square afro, either." Rarity said, "It's part of my physical form." Garnet replied, "What about my hairstyle?" Amethyst asked, Rarity looks at it, "Hmm, maybe we can style it into something more fashionable." Rarity said, and she began to style Amethyst's hair, it was all wavy and part of it was tied into a bun on the back of her head, "I liked her better with her hair down." Dot said, "Yeah, I agree." Amethyst replied after looking at herself in a mirror, and shapeshifted back to her regular hairstyle, "What the?" Silverstream asked, "Yeah, it surprises us, too, they can change their physical form at will." Silver replied, Billy began to cry, "Grim, help, every time I move this needle, the fabrics get more and more stuck together!" Billy said, "Dumb as always." Mandy said, "Tell me about it." Grim said, "Hey, can I have some sewing material?" Gallus asked, "No, get your own." Riley replied, Rarity ran to him, "Excuse me, I have clearly told you to share at the beginning of class." Rarity said, "I ain't sharin' anything." Riley replied, Rarity grunted and groaned annoyingly while walking away to think of Riley's punishment, Riley looks and laughs, "She should have came to our field trip to the prison and meet that one convict." Riley said, "Funny you say that, he's in my gag bag." Wakko replied, and the convict came out, he ran towards Rarity, "Booty!" the convict said and he grabbed Rarity's flank, she screamed, "Hands off of my flank!" Rarity said angrily and blasted him away with her magic, the convict was about to get up but Wakko hits him with his giant mallet and it made him dizzy, "Here, have a gift." Slappy Squirrel said, and he gave him a bomb, which exploded on him, Rarity let out a long annoyed grunt, "That is not what my class is about!" Rarity said, "What? That doesn't count as sharing?" Slappy Squirrel asked, "No!" Rarity replied angrily, the bell rung afterwards, Rarity sighed, "Go on to your next class, darlings." Rarity said, "Ooh, Rainbow Dash is next." Yakko said as he looked at the script, and they went. Rainbow Dash flew around and was ready to teach, "Okay, guys, say hello to Rainbow Dash, the coolest teacher in the school." Rainbow Dash said, "Ugh." Riley said, "Okay, let's start by working together, and building a fort from these desks." Rainbow Dash said, and everybody except Riley did, "Why aren't you helping?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Cause you got a rainbow on ya, and rainbows are gay." Riley replied, Rainbow Dash was shocked at first, and then growled angrily at him, "No, they're not, rainbows are pretty!" Silverstream said, "Where did that even come from?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "It's a symbol from our culture, rainbows are usually associated with same gender love, which is taboo to us." Huey replied, shocking the world's natives. Cartman laughs while he takes pictures of the faces of the Young Six and other ponies, "These faces will make for great memes." Cartman said, Onizuka grabbed his phone and took it, "Hey! Randy just bought that for me!" Cartman said, "You know the rules, Cartman, no phones in the classroom." Onizuka replied, "Well, come on, help them out." Rainbow Dash said, "Dude, I am not learning anything about loyalty." Kyle said, "Neither are we." Darwin replied, "Yeah, Onizuka's lesson was better." Stan said, Kenny agreed in a muffled tone, "What did he just say?" Smolder asked, "He agrees with us." Butters replied, "What was his lesson on loyalty, then?" Rainbow Dash asked, "He had me and Bart fight, and he taught us not switch sides on cheering when the person we are cheering on starts losing." Cartman replied, Rainbow Dash was a little speechless, "I know, why don't we all do a prank together?" Bart asked, Rainbow Dash flew to him, "Hold on a minute there, Bart, don't get me wrong, I like pranks, too, I really do, but the last you did was too destructive." Rainbow Dash said, "Can we do a prank?" Gumball asked, "Please?" Darwin asked, "Sorry, guys, but I'll get in trouble with Headmare Twilight if I do." Rainbow Dash replied, everybody groaned, they look and see what the others doing, "BART!!" Lisa said, they all saw Bart built a butt that looked like it was farting, Bart was laughing, "She said build a fort! Not a fart!" Lisa said, Rainbow Dash laughed, "Hey, it's fine, you keep doing what you're doing, Bart." Rainbow Dash said, and he did while Lisa was annoyed. Pesto was not helping, "Pesto, you're being a jerk right now by not helping!" Rainbow Dash said, "What are you saying, are you saying that I'm a jerk?" Pesto asked, "Yeah!" Rainbow Dash replied, "So I'm a jerk, that's what you're saying? You're saying that I'm this stand offish guy who likes to stand out of the crowd and think I'm better than others. Is that what you're saying?" Pesto asked, "Yeah!" Rainbow Dash replied, "That's it! Come here!" Pesto said, "Oh, it's on!" Rainbow Dash said, and the two fight, "I'll show who the jerk is!" Pesto said, "I can do this all day!" Rainbow Dash said, and the two fought until the bell rung, "Go on to your last class, guys, I'll be busy dealing with this guy." Rainbow Dash said and she and Pesto continued fighting, "Come on, Applejack's class is this way." Sandbar said, and they go. Everybody sat in Applejack's class while she was at a desk, "Okay, y'all, since today is the last class, and we're short on time, tell me what y'all think about this school, and be honest with me." Applejack said, "What do I think?! This school is utterly pointless!" Nigel replied, "I must agree with Numbuh One, I didn't learn nothin'." Abby said, "School?! I thought you said this was a place to party!" Wally said, "Yeah, this isn't my area of knowledge." Hoagie said, "I had fun here." Kuki said, "Oh, me too." Bubbles replied, "I must agree with him, though, this school isn't helpful." Blossom said, "It's as boring as a regular school, too." Buttercup said, "What's a school?" Billy asked, "Billy!" Grim said sternly, "This is pointless." Mandy said, the door opens and they saw Rainbow Dash and Pesto were still fighting, "Enough, y'all!" Applejack said, "Now this looks fun." Buttercup said, and she flew in to join the fight, Wally and Mandy joined in the fighting as well, so did Gallus and Smolder, "I have to agree, this school is a bit pointless." Anais said, "I was hoping to learn new things, but I didn't." Lisa said, "What about the rest of y'all? Do y'all have the same things to say?" Applejack asked, they nodded, "Ugh, this school is worse when Peter had to play Jarney, a cross between Barney the Dinosaur and Jar Jar Binks." Stewie said, Peter was dressed up as a fat, pink Jar Jar Binks with a green stomach, and had yellow fingers, "Hi, kids, let's have fun today." Peter said with a Jamaican accent, the kids run away screaming from him, "Hey, come on, kids, let's spread some love to one another." Peter said, an anvil fell on him, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot walked over, "Some crossovers are better not happening." Yakko said, his two siblings nod as they look at Peter, who was squashed under the anvil. "Sorry, but this is stuff I already teach." Steven said, "That's great to hear, Steven, I think you'll make a fine teacher one day." Applejack replied, Steven smiled and the bell rung, "Well, that's all for today, have a good day, y'all." Applejack said, and they all went home, Bobby and Squit had to pull Pesto away and they all head back to the neighborhood. The Mane Six, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike gather together and the five tell Twilight Sparkle about the students, "I heard some of the commotion from my office, I don't think they're good students." Twilight Sparkle said, "I had a few problems with Riley and Pesto, that Pesto tried to pick a fight with me." Rainbow Dash replied, "And I don't like Slappy's sense of humor, bombs are not funny!" Pinkie Pie said, "Well, not all of them were bad, that Steven kid was good." Rarity replied, "Yes, I think he was the best student." Fluttershy said, "Plus, he said he's already teachin' the things we teach, I thought Gumball, Darwin, Anais, and Lisa were good, Chris, Meg, and Stewie were mostly quiet, though." Applejack replied, "I heard Wally and Billy from here, I think those two could use more education." Twilight Sparkle said, "Don't forget those three weird looking creatures, they embarrassed me, they sang about my stomach and flank!" Pinkie Pie said, "Look at me, someone in the class actually grabbed my flank!" Rarity replied, "Really?!" Spike asked with shock and anger, "Yes, Spike, darling, but I already dealt with him." Rarity replied, "What'd ya say, Twilight, should we have them attend again?" Applejack asked, "Well, if possible, then yes, but it won't be for a while, they'll tire us out if we see them every day, come on, let's take a break." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they do for the rest of the day. Volvox was trying to do some decorating and he made giant statues of himself appear in his front yard with him doing the poses from the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure manga, he made copies of himself to do poses that involved more than one person, the residents of the neighborhood see it and laugh, while the world's natives were confused, Volvox was outside and looking at the statues, he sees Princess Celestia walking to him from his right, he turns and faces her, "What are you doing?" Princess Celestia asked, "Redecorating the yard." Volvox replied, "What is with all of these poses?" Princess Celestia asked, "Just having fun." Volvox replied, Princess Celestia hears grunting and saw Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash trying to do the poses, "See, they're liking it." Volvox said, and more of the world's natives and neighborhood's residents join in and try to do the poses of the statues, Princess Celestia looks at them disapprovingly, but goes back to Canterlot. Night time comes and everybody was at the Stray Sheep, the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, princesses, Spike, Shining Armor, Sunburst, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Autumn Blaze entered the bar to see everyone, they saw everyone was quiet and mostly just eating, drinking, or smoking, "Uh, excuse me, everyone." Twilight Sparkle said, they all look at her, "Do you all want to continue coming to the school?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No." several said while others shake their heads, they look and saw Sarah and Jazmine, "Hey, Tom, your wife and daughter are here." Volvox said, "I'll see her another time, I'd doubt she would want to see me today." Tom replied, everybody hears clinking and saw Mr. Bean was hitting the alcohol glasses at his table with silverware that he brought on his own, Pinkie Pie and Autumn Blaze trotted to him, "Excuse me." Autumn Blaze said, Mr. Bean looked at them, "Can we join?" Autumn Blaze asked, Mr. Bean scooted over to his left and allowed them to sit with him, they made music with him and had fun. Sunset Shimmer trotted to Mordecai and Rigby, "I'd like to try again tomorrow." Sunset Shimmer said, "Alright, we'll go after we finish work." Rigby replied, "Remember to take your time, Sunset Shimmer, all of us struggled on that test." Benson said, "No one's ever got a gold medal on that test, you'd be the first one if you do." Skips said, Sunset Shimmer was more motivated, "If you want, I can go on to cheer you on as well." Pops said, "Thanks, that would be nice to have." Sunset Shimmer replied, "You know who else failed that test? My mom!" Muscle Man said, everybody looks at him with a confused face, "Uh, Muscle Man, I don't think now is the time for that." Hi Five Ghost said, "Well, anyway, I was hoping you guys could help me." Sunset Shimmer said, "Of course, we'll see what we can do." Mordecai replied, "Thanks, guys. Can I sit with you guys?" Sunset Shimmer asked, they agreed and let her sit with them. The door opens and someone enters, to the ponies' surprise, it was Tempest Shadow, "Sorry I'm late, I've been busy atoning." Tempest Shadow said, "It's okay, come on, let's have you meet the people." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she introduces her to everybody, "What happened to your horn?" Yakko asked, "It's broken." Tempest Shadow replied, "Oh, just like Kimahri." Yakko said, confusing her, but she continued to be introduced to everybody. Vincent was seeing Catherine and speaking to her, the ponies, Spike, and Young Six watch and see Catherine eventually run into the bathroom while crying, "Catherine! Wait!" Vincent said and he ran into the bathroom to check on her. Vincent and Catherine were in the bathroom and loud noises and beatings were heard, Orlando and Toby went over, they speak for a bit and leave Vincent be, they left shortly afterwards. The ponies, Spike, Young Six, and Autumn Blaze go to him, "You okay, Vincent?" Princess Cadence asked, "No." Vincent replied, "I don't get it, why wasn't anyone paying attention?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Now that you mention it, that is weird, these people are acting like nothing happened." Sunburst replied, "Well, not all of them." Starlight Glimmer said, and they see Steven, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Bismuth, Lapis Lazuli, Peridot, Gumball, Darwin, Anais, Richard, Nicole, Mordecai, Rigby, Benson, Pops, Skips, Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost, Frylock, Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, Orchid, Alice, Mercer, Silver, Rock, Aero, and Roger looking at Vincent with worry, "You guys go ahead and go, I want to be alone for now." Vincent said, "Take it easy, Vincent." Shining Armor replied, and they go see the others. Phoenix, Apollo, Athena, and Trucy were going over the case for the trial tomorrow, the ponies, Spike, and Young Six go to them, "Oh, hey, guys." Phoenix said, "What time is the trial tomorrow?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "10:00 AM." Phoenix replied, "Okay, guys, I want you all to come to the trial, you'll see how fun it is with him in court." Twilight Sparkle said, the Young Six were excited, "Well, I'm about to leave, guys, I have to wake up early tomorrow." Phoenix said, and he and the others did, everyone was gone except for Vincent, so they go to him, "You feel any better, buddy?" Rainbow Dash asked, "A little." Vincent replied, and he drank a little more and headed home, the others went home as well, but not before Princess Celestia looked at Boss with suspicion. Princess Luna enters the dream realm and saw most of the stars were back, she sees Bubbles was still having nightmares about Mr. Salacia, so she zapped it away, she looks and saw Vincent having a dream, she and the others saw Katherine, "So that's Katherine." Rainbow Dash said, "I can't say her outfit and hair color are fashionable, though." Rarity replied, they watch the dream, "Hello." Catherine said from behind Vincent, which scared everyone, they talk for a bit and go in the house. Everypony and Spike watches the dream and saw Vincent sitting with Katherine while Catherine made coffee, they watch Catherine try to get inside of Katherine's head, which leads to the two arguing and Vincent scream with his right hand on forehead, which shocked the ponies and Spike. Katherine and Catherine argue more and it led to a knife fight between the two, the mares and fillies scream while the adult pony covered the eyes' of the foals and babies. Katherine screams in horror and Vincent makes her stop by slapping her on her left cheek with his right hand, which made Rarity exclaim with shock, Princess Cadence had a shocked face as well, they talk for a bit and he was leading her outside, but they see the block and stair area again, shocking the ponies and Spike, "No way!" Rainbow Dash said, "His home too?" Twilight Sparkle asked, and they see Vincent's home disappear, "I won't let you get away." Catherine said in a distorted voice, "That voice... It's her..." Vincent said, "What is this, Vincent...?" Katherine asked, "W-We have to run...! Katherine, follow me!" Vincent said, and he grabs her right wrist with her left hand and runs forward. Vincent and Katherine were on a set of blocks and they look back, "Where are we going?" Catherine asked, Vincent and Katherine had a shocked face, "You won't escape!" Catherine said while laughing, she climbs up and laughs more, revealing her monstrous form, the ponies and Spike had shocked faces, "No! I'm scared!" Katherine said while covering her face with her arms, "Hurry!" Vincent said, and they begin to climb. Vincent led the way while Katherine followed him, she did not know what to do since this was her first time in the nightmare, "Wow, I thought the problems we had before our marriage was bad." Shining Armor said, "But it was you who was in danger." Princess Cadence replied, they watch and see Vincent and Katherine climb, they dodge the red lightning bolts, "You want to be free, right?" Catherine asked, and they keep climbing, "You're just his dead weight!" Catherine said after more bolts of red lightning came down, "You can only get his attention by getting pregnant?" Catherine asked, the mares were offended by the last one, the two keep climbing and make it to the end, "We made it... Katherine! We're gonna be alright! We can make it back through here!" Vincent said, "Make it back...?" Katherine asked, "Back to where we were! Let's go together!" Vincent said, Katherine walks forward but puts her head down, Catherine was heard roaring, "I'm sorry, I can't think of the future after all this...!"Katherine said, "Katherine, calm down! You've got a child to think about, too! I'll fix everything. It'll all be okay!" Vincent replied, "What, you mean you and me...? ...You still thought about us then...?" Kathrine asked, "Of course I did!" Vincent replied, "But... I can't believe you anymore..." Katherine said, "I didn't want to cheat on you! I was just confused... About our future, I guess. I snapped, I'm sorry...! I know I did something I can't undo. I won't make excuses. But I realized something... How dear you are to me... I... I understand that now!" Vincent replied, "Vincent..." Katherine said, "Please, Katherine! Come with me now! I'm begging you!" Vincent replied, "But I... can't. I can't do it anymore, Vincent... You should just go..." Katherine said, she then gasped as the place shook and Catherine was heard roaring, Katherine began to fall back, causing the mares and fillies to gasp, "Katherine!" Vincent said as he jumped towards her, he grabs her and they begin to fall down the stairs, scaring everypony and Spike, "You just gotta believe in me... Please, Katherine... I can't lose you. Not like this!" Vincent said, "Vincent, do you...?" Katherine asked, but they saw the dream disappear, realizing Vincent has woken up in the real world, "Oh, that was so romantic." Rarity said, "I sure hope he's okay, though." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, would you look at that, it's time for the sun to rise, go on, everypony." Princess Luna said, and they all woke up in the real world. The next day comes and the ponies and residents of the neighborhood were in Ponyville and the neighborhood, the Mane Six, Shining Armor, and Princess Cadence go to Vincent's apartment to see how he was, he was not home, which made them worry. Sunset Shimmer tries the City Slicking test again with Mordecai and Rigby helping her, she growls since she failed again, Pops came along to cheer her on, she tries again and fails, "What is with this traffic?!" Sunset Shimmer asked, "I'll admit, the traffic is pretty bad today." Mordecai replied, Sunset Shimmer growled every time she failed, and traffic kept getting worse. Motorcycles were heard and they see Chibs leading his gang, they fire guns in the air to make the traffic clear the way. Sunset Shimmer drives and tries the test again and drives the car, she keeps driving while Chibs and his gang cleared the traffic with gunfire, she sees traffic in the way again but they were rammed out of the way by a big truck, they look and saw Onizuka was driving it, he was laughing along the way. Sunset Shimmer was bewildered at what she saw, "Drive, Sunset Shimmer! Pass the test! You can do it!" Onizuka said, and Sunset Shimmer did, Chibs and Onizuka drove around to clear the road so Sunset Shimmer she could pass the last test of the driving school. Sunset Shimmer was going near the end and saw a police car parked in front of her, "Come on, not again." Sunset Shimmer grumbled as she drove forward, she was about to arrive at the police car, but Onizuka rams it out of the way with the truck, Sunset Shimmer was happy and she drove to the end and finished the test. Sunset Shimmer waits for her score along with Mordecai, Rigby, Pops, Chibs, and Onizuka, they look and saw she got a gold medal, "Yes!" Sunset Shimmer said as she jumped up in the air, "Whoooaaaaa!" Mordecai and Rigby said, Pops laughed a bit, "Jolly good show! Sunset Shimmer, jolly good show!" Pops said, "Congratulations, mate." Chibs said, "I knew you could do it, Sunset Shimmer, I'm proud of you." Onizuka said, "Thanks, I couldn't have done it without your guys' help, what happened to the people, though?" Sunset Shimmer asked, she looks and saw they were fine, but they complained about their vehicles being wrecked, "Well, I have to go to school now." Onizuka said, and he drove the truck to school, "Come on, gang, let's move out." Chibs said, and they drive away, "This calls for a party." Pops said, Mordecai and Rigby agreed, Pinkie Pie dashed to them with her party cannon, "Did somebody say party?" Pinkie Pie asked, Cheese Sandwich dashed forward, "I heard a party, too." Cheese Sandwich said, "Yeah, we were about celebrate Sunset Shimmer passing the driver's school with all gold medals, the first person to ever do that." Rigby replied, "I know what to do!"

Everybody parties and the people present were Mordecai, Rigby, Benson, Pops, Skips, Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost, Sunset Shimmer, Pinkie Pie, Cheese Sandwich, and to everybody's surprise, Steven, "Steven. What are you doing here?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "I heard you guys were celebrating you passing the driving school, so I'd thought I'd come and congratulate you, nobody has ever gotten gold medals on all ten tests." Steven replied, "Oh, thanks." Sunset Shimmer said, and they all party, Steven played music that everybody enjoyed. Pinkie Pie was having a lot of fun with Mordecai and Rigby, "Wow, you two know how to party." Pinkie Pie said, "We learned from Party Pete." Rigby replied, "Party Pete? I wanna meet him!" Pinkie Pie said excitedly, "Sorry, but he's out of town back in our world." Mordecai replied, "Plus, what's a party without hummus?" Rigby asked, "Hummus!" Mordecai said, "Hummus!" Rigby said, "Hummus!" Mordecai and Rigby said together, Cheese Sandwich dashed to them, "I've got dipping chips right here." Cheese Sandwich said, and they do. Muscle Man looks at the time, "It's 10:00, bros." Muscle Man said, "Okay, everyone, back to work." Benson said, "Ten, oh no, I'm gonna late for the trial." Pinkie Pie replied, and she dashed to the courtroom, leaving a pink trail behind. Everybody was in court with Phoenix standing at the left bench with Apollo and Athena, while Edgeworth was at the right bench, and the judge sat, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Trixie, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Sunburst, Tempest Shadow, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, and Silverstream sat in the gallery, above Phoenix. The Judge hits his gavel, "Court is now in session." Judge said, "The prosecution is ready, your honor." Edgeworth said, "The defense is ready, your honor." Phoenix said, Judge nods, "Oh, it's those ponies over there, I remember you all, hi there, long time, no see." Judge said, "The Judge knows them, your honor?" Athena asked, "Yeah, he and I had to do a trial in their land many years ago." Phoenix replied, "Hmm, so they are real, I remember that one with the rainbow hair in that photo." Edgeworth said, Rainbow Dash screamed with shock and covered her face in embarrassment with her wings, "What are they talking about?" Silverstream asked, "It's kind of a long story." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I see many new faces there as well, I really enjoyed your land." Judge said, "OBJECTION!!" Edgeworth said and slammed his right hand on the bench, "Your honor, I would like to get on with the trial." Edgeworth said, "Yes, of course, let's start with the murder scene." Judge replied, "A confectioner named Apu Sauce was murdered by being stabbed in the left side of his neck with a blade, a fellow confectioner named Pays Tree was found at the crime scene and arrested for the murder." Edgeworth said, the Judge nods. "Alright, it's time to call the cops assigned to the case to see what they have found at the crime scene." Judge replied, and they get the first person to testify. Harry went up to testify, "State your name and occupation." Judge said, "Harry Callahan, inspector." Harry replied, "Well, let's go on and start your testimony." Judge said, and Harry begins, "Apu Sauce was stabbed in his left carotid artery around 7:00 in the morning. We have already found the weapon, it was this dagger here." Harry said, the Judge nods, "The court accepts it as evidence." Judge said, "Apu Sauce was examined further and we have found strange activity on his wound. We are investigating it further." Harry said, "So, the victim was killed by a stab wound with a dagger." Judge said, "Yes, your honor." Harry replied, "Very well, Mr. Wright, your cross examination." Judge said, and they begin it, "Apu Sauce was stabbed in his left carotid artery around 7:00 in the morning." Harry said, "HOLD IT!!" Phoenix said, "Was there anything that gave it away?" Phoenix asked, "Pays Tree told us when we asked her, she heard the stabbing." Harry replied, "We have already found the weapon, it was this dagger here." Harry said, "HOLD IT!!" Phoenix said, "Where is the bloodstain?" Phoenix asked, "It didn't have one when it was found." Harry replied, "No bloodstain, how strange." Phoenix taught to himself, "What does the hand print on it look like?" Phoenix asked, "It's the same as the print found on Mr. Sauce's shoulder." Harry replied, "Apu Sauce was examined further and we have found strange activity on his wound. We are investigating it further." Harry said, "HOLD IT!!" Phoenix said, "What strange activity?" Phoenix asked, "The wound from the dagger has somehow drained all of Mr. Sauce's blood out of his body." Harry replied, and Phoenix finished his cross examination while the world's natives who were watching the trial had shocked faces, "I see, has the hand print been identified?" Judge asked, "There are no prints on it." Harry replied, "No prints?! How is such a thing possible?!" Judge asked, "OBJECTION!!" Phoenix said, "Your honor, I believe what Harry is saying is that it's a glove mark." Phoenix said, "A glove mark, where would one obtain a glove when working on confectioneries?" Judge asked, "Actually, your honor, gloves are common to wear when working on such things, it is so they do not burn their hands." Edgeworth replied, "I see, where are the other law enforcers assigned to the case?" Judge asked, "Mr. Morgan, Ms. Brea, and Mr. Taki will be here shortly." Edgeworth replied, the door opens and they enter along with Takeshi, Hayato, and Tachibana, Eyes Cree and Pays Tree were with them, along with a man who seamed to be wearing a suit and hat made out of melon bread, "I see, since we did multiple witness testimonies in the past, we'll try it here, so all of you, state your names and occupations." Judge said, "Pays Tree, confectioner." Pays Tree said, "Eyes Cree, ice cream maker." Eyes Cree said, "Mel Hombre, baker." the man with the melon bread-like clothing said, "Alright, let's start with your testimonies." Judge said, "I was captured by an organization called Shocker..." Eyes Cree said, and Mel Hombre immediately began to strangle him, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Apollo asked, everybody in the gallery except the ponies, Spike, and Young Six went down and changed into Shocker henchmen, shocking Phoenix, Apollo, Athena, Edgeworth, the Judge, Eyes Cree, Pays Tree, the ponies, Spike, and Young Six, "Shocker!" Tachibana said, and the henchmen begin to attack, Takeshi, Hayato, Taki, Tachibana, Harry, Dexter, Aya, and Athena fight them off, the Mane Six and Young Six joined in with Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Gallus, Smolder, and Yona doing most of the fighting, a Shocker henchmen wearing a red outfit tries to attack Rainbow Dash with a sword, she dodges them with ease and bucks him, which knocks him out. Takeshi throws a knife at Mel Hombre and he dodges it, but loses his grip on Eyes Cree in the process, "Show your true form!" Takeshi said, and Mel Hombre transformed into a humanoid flee monster, the Cutie Mark Crusaders screamed out of fear, "I am Flea Man, greatest jumper of Shocker." the transformed Mel Hombre said, "Rider henshin." Takeshi said and he posed, "Henshin." Hayato said and he posed, the two jump and change into Kamen Riders, surprising everybody, the two fight Flea Man while everybody else dealt with the henchmen, Flea Man fought the two and jumped extremely high, Takeshi and Hayato jumped around to keep up with him, "Look, it looks like transforming increases their physical abilities." Twilight Sparkle said, they watch Takeshi and Hayato fight Flea Man, he was able to endure their hits, Flea Man shoots white foam out of his mouth and the two hold a Shocker henchmen up, the foam gets on him and he explodes, scaring everybody else, Aya transformed and went on to help fight Flea Man, which surprised everyone again. Harry aims his revolver at Flea Man and shoots a bullet at him, it bounces off of his chest, Athena and Dexter go behind Flea Man and try to restrain him, but he jumps up and touched the ceiling, the unicorns and alicorns shoot zaps at him but they kept missing, he lands on Twilight Sparkle and she grunts as she fell to the ground, he then threw Athena and Dexter forward and then jumped up, he busted through the roof, Takeshi and Hayato jump through the hole to chase him. Takeshi and Hayato arrive on the roof and look around, "There he is." Hayato said, they saw Flea Man jumping from roof to roof, the two jump and chase him, they jump from roof to roof but see Flea Man jumped a lot farther than they could, "We'll never catch up at this rate." Hayato said, "True, let's look for shortcuts." Takeshi replied, and the two jump to Flea Man's blind spots in an attempt to catch up to him, the two jump and watch Flea Man, but they hear a loud noise behind them, they turn around and saw a circular rainbow in the sky, they saw Rainbow Dash flying to Flea Man, she was catching up to him quickly, Flea Man hears her and tries to jump away, Rainbow Dash flew up, "Oh, no, you don't!" Rainbow Dash said and she grabbed onto him and knocked him onto the ground, Takeshi and Hayato jumped to his location. Flea Man stood up and saw Takeshi and Hayato in front of him, the two posed and began to punch and kick Flea Man several times. Twilight Sparkle teleports herself and the others outside, "Is everyone alright?" Twilight Sparkle asked, they nodded, they hear fighting and saw Takeshi and Hayato fighting Flea Man while Rainbow Dash flew back, they see the three jump but Flea Man jumped considerably higher than Takeshi and Hayato, more Shocker henchmen appeared to attack them and Taki, Harry, Aya, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack fought them off, they were knocked out quickly, they look and saw Takeshi and Hayato on a roof with Flea Man, Flea Man jumped again, "Now, Hayato!" Takeshi said, and Hayato jumped up and grabbed Flea Man and kneed him in his abdomen with his left knee, he then threw onto the ground, the ponies, Spike, and Young Six looked away, they saw Flea Man get back up and was still able to fight, which shocked them, but he was stumbling, Takeshi and Hayato jump up and hold their right legs out, "Rider Double Kick!" Takeshi and Hayato said, and they both kick him, Flea Man falls and rolls away, he stops moving altogether and explodes. Takeshi and Hayato change back and go to them, "Is everyone alright?" Takeshi asked, they all say they were, "Who are those guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Shocker is a criminal organization that is trying to take over the world by changing people in cyborgs to obey them, they have agents all over our world." Taki replied, shocking them, "Criminals disguised as regular people? That's scary." Ocellus said, "Please, come with me, I'd like to know more about this Shocker." Princess Celestia said, and Takeshi, Hayato, Taki, and Tachibana follow her, "How did you know Shocker was involved?" Judge asked, "I have the answer right here, your honor." Phoenix replied, "TAKE THAT!!" Phoenix said, "This dagger is the murder weapon, this eagle emblem right here is the logo of Shocker." Phoenix said, "Ah, well, Mr. Wright, this was one strange reunion with these people." Judge said, "I apologize for what I said all of those years before, Wright, now that I see that rainbow horse is real." Edgeworth said, "No, please stop bringing up my pictures taken by Ace Swift." Rainbow Dash replied as she buried her head in humiliation, "When Phoenix and the Judge did the trial here, I was the prosecutor." Trixie said, "Hmm, so this land has court as well." Edgeworth replied, "I'm still having a hard time imagining you as a prosecutor, Trixie." Starlight Glimmer said, "Ooh, ooh, I know, let's hear the story about when Phoenix came here." Silverstream said, "Yeah, I want to hear it, too." Sandbar replied, "Maybe during class time." Twilight Sparkle said, "Say, where's Apollo?" Phoenix asked, Apollo was in court at the defense's bench while Princess Luna was at the prosecutor's bench, "OBJECTION!!" Apollo yelled, "OVERRULED!!" Princess Luna yelled, Apollo jumped back in shock, "Noooooooo, my Chords of Steel!" Apollo said, "HA-HA!! YOUR CHORDS OF STEEL ARE WORTHLESS WHEN COMPARED TO THE ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE!!" Princess Luna said, "NOOOOOOOO!!" Apollo said, "Well, I guess I'll look for him later, I'm pooped, let's rest." Phoenix said, and they all went to go rest. Princess Celestia was in her throne room with Takeshi, Hayato, Taki, and Tachibana, "What kind of things have this Shocker done?" Princess Celestia asked, "A lot, kidnapping, murder, experimentation, brainwashing, mind control, and as you saw, changing innocent people into humanoid plants and animals to serve under them." Takeshi replied, "How did you do become what you are?" Princess Celestia asked, "We were experimented on by Shocker, Takeshi was already a cyborg when he saved me from being brainwashed." Hayato replied, "What animal are you two supposed to be?" Princess Celestia asked, "Grasshoppers." Takeshi replied, "What about those black and red suit wearing people?" Princess Celestia asked, "Shocker's henchmen, they're cyborgs, too, faster, stronger, and more durable than an average human." Taki replied, "What other creatures do they have?" Princess Celestia asked, and Taki shows her pictures of their monsters, which shocked her, their names were Spider Man, Bat Man, Scorpion Man, Sarracenian, Mantis Man, Grimreaper Chameleon, Bee Woman, Cobraman, Gebacondor, Yamogeras, Tokageron, Saboteguron, Phirasaurus, Hitodanger, Kanibubbler, Dokugandar as a caterpillar, Dokugandar as a moth, Amazonia, Musasabeedle, Kinokomorgu, Antlion Thunder, Mukaderas, Mogurang, Kuragedarl, Zanburonzo, Arigabari, Dokudahlian, Armadillong, Gamagirah, Arikimedes, Egyptus, Torikabuto, Eiking, Wolf Man, Snowman, Ghoster, Fly Man, Pranodon, Kabibinga, Namekujira, Bearkonger, Todogirah, Hiruguerrilla, Isoginchak, Kamestone, Unicornos, Gilgalass, Zanjioh, Jaguarman, Sea Snake Man, Cockroachman, Gireera, Dokumondo, Poison Lizard Man, Earthworm Man, Owl Man, Namazugiller, Harinezuras, Saigang, Semiminga, Kabutorong, Kamikirikid, Girizames, Gillerkorogi, Elekibotaru, Abugomens, Mosquiras, Shiomaneking, Shiracuras, Bararanga, Seadragon I, Seadragon II, Seadragon III, Imoriges, Unidogma, Colonel Zol/Werewolf, Doctor Shinigami/Ikadevil, and Ambassador Hell/Garagaranda, and a picture of a black silhouette that had the words Great Leader of Shocker on it. Princess Celestia was in utter shock, "Oh my, they're all either plants or animals." Princess Celestia said, "Exactly, they're stronger than the regular henchmen, too." Hayato replied, "What about those last four pictures?" Princess Celestia asked, "The first three were the three second-in-commands of Shocker." Tachibana replied, "And the leader?" Princess Celestia asked, "They all serve under him, no one knows who he is, or where he's hiding." Takeshi replied, "I see, now that I see what you four are up against, I may have an item that could help you four in your battles, wait here a moment." Princess Celestia said, and she walked away to get it for them. Sunset Shimmer trotted around and was happy with her day so far, she goes to go see Volvox to see how he was doing, she knocked on his house's door, "Enter." Volvox said, and she did, "Starlight Glimmer told me about the games you had, I wanted to try them." Sunset Shimmer said, "Sure, take your pick." Volvox said, and she trotted to them, she decided to play a video game, "Do you have any computer games?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Well, not bought, but there are games I do play on Newgrounds, Kongregate, and Armor Games." Volvox replied, "I wanna try one." Sunset Shimmer said, and they go to Newgrounds, "Here's a good one." Dommiel said, they saw the game was Dad 'n' Me, "That one there is also a classic." the Count of Saint Germain said, Sunset Shimmer saw the game was Pico's School, "What's the hardest game you have?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "That's a tough one, several of our games are hard." Volvox replied, "Well, bring out your hardest ones." Sunset Shimmer said, and Volvox did, he brought out Punch-Out!!, Contra: Shattered Soldier, Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey, Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, 3, and 4, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3, Bloodbourne, and God Hand, "The two Devil May Cry games are really hard on the hardest difficulty." Dommiel said, "What about the second one?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "No, the second one's easy." Dommiel replied, "What's so hard about that San Andreas one?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Two words: Supply Lines." Dommiel replied, "God, I hated that mission." Volvox said, "I'll like to try that Devil May Cry one." Sunset Shimmer said, and they hook up the PS2 for her and Sunset Shimmer plays it, "Wow, this is actually pretty fun." Sunset Shimmer said, she gets to Phantom and starts having trouble, Sunset Shimmer exhaled sharply and tried again, she eventually beat him, "Hey, do you guys have any social media?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "We've got plenty, but we don't use it in this house." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "What social media websites do you guys have?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Myspace, Snapchat, DeviantArt, and Google+." Volvox replied, "Nope, we don't have those in the world I'm staying at." Sunset Shimmer said, the PS2 pops open and Yakko, Wakko, and Dot came out, "What's your high school like?" Dot asked, "The usual, but with magic, and we did a battle of the bands there once." Sunset Shimmer replied, "You guys sing at your school?" Wakko asked, "Yup, plenty." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Just like High School Musical." Yakko said, confusing Sunset Shimmer, "Can we watch you play?" Wakko asked, "Of course, go ahead and have a seat." Sunset Shimmer replied, and they do, "How do you press the buttons if you don't have any fingers or thumbs?" Yakko asked, "I'm using my unicorn horn, I have magic." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Oh, that's cool." Yakko said, and they continue watching. Steven was walking around and saw many people having fun with their mothers, which made Steven sad, he watches them and saw people bonding with their mothers, talking about their mothers, talking with their mothers, Twilight Sparkle and Twilight Velvet were among them, hearing and seeing their mothers made him sad, he almost began to cry since he did not have a mother, he became distraught and walked away, Twilight Sparkle sees him and becomes worried. Twilight Sparkle walks and saw Steven standing on a sidewalk and looking down, "Steven?" Twilight Sparkle asked, she goes to him and saw he looked down, "What's the matter, Steven?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's them talking about their moms, I don't have a mom." Steven replied, "Well, what do you remember about her?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Nothing, she passed away as soon as I was born." Steven replied, Twilight Sparkle was sympathetic, "Is that why you're sad?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Not all of it, it's also because since my mom was the leader of a rebellion, people look up to her, and I am expected to be just like her and take her responsibilities and the leader, I don't know what they are, and I don't feel ready." Steven replied, "Steven, I know how you feel, I didn't feel like I was ready to be a princess when I became one." Twilight Sparkle said, Steven looked at her, "How does that even compare?" Steven asked, "I was expected to lead Equestria along with three other alicorns, and I didn't feel like I could do it when I started, but with support from my friends and mentors, I was able to do it." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, I'm not expected to lead a nation, I'm expected to lead a group of Gems in a war." Steven said, "Oh, well, I'm sure you'll make a good leader, Steven, you're already befriending and forgiving, aren't you?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yeah." Steven replied, "See, you're already becoming a good leader, if you continue, people will love you and respect you for you are, and if that happens, I'd like to see how you will grow." Twilight Sparkle said, Steven smiled, "Come on, tell me about your mother, well, from what you heard, and have some fun." Twilight Sparkle said, and she and Steven walk together. Rarity gives out new outfits as she tried to get rid of the sagging fashion, she hated it so much, Sarah and Jazmine entered shortly afterwards, "Welcome, darlings, please, take a look." Rarity said, and the two do, "Look at that one, mommy." Jazmine said, "Yes, dear, it is lovely." Sarah replied, "SARAH!!" Tom said and he entered the shop, "Tom, what are you doing here?" Sarah asked, "I want you back, please come back to me." Tom replied, "Tom? What are you talking about?" Sarah asked, "You're dating Usher, and I want you back." Tom replied, "I'm not dating him, Tom, Jazmine is just a big fan of him as I am." Sarah said, Tom was surprised, "You're... not dating him?" Tom asked, "No." Sarah replied, Tom was surprised, "So... can I come back in the house?" Tom asked, "No! Not until you grow a spine." Sarah replied, a chord was struck in Tom, he raises his right arm and was about to slap Sarah on her cheek, but telekinesis was used on Tom and moved his arm back, he screamed in pain, "You're not hitting a lady in my shop." Rarity said, "Ow! That hurt." Tom said, "Tom, are you okay?" Sarah asked as she got on her knees, Tom became possessed by Stinkmeaner at that time, he looks at her, "Oh yeah, I've never been better in my life!" Stinkmeaner said, he stood up and picked up Tom, which made Sarah laugh, "I'm ready to boost our relations." Stinkmeaner said, Sarah laughed, "Tom, what's gotten into you?" Sarah asked, "Same thing that's about to get into you." Stinkmeaner replied, and he carried her home while Rarity watch with worry and shock, Jazmine just stood there with confusion, "I'll head home for now." Jazmine said, and she left.

Night time comes and the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, princesses, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Tempest Shadow, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Trixie, and Autumn Blaze went to the Stray Sheep, everybody was there, Vincent was freaking out while everybody watched, "You guys are saying you didn't see her?!" Vincent asked, "Nope, you were just sitting here on your own." Jonny replied, "Seriously? None of you guys saw or heard me talking to Catherine?!" Vincent asked, "Give it up already, Vincent, we already told you, we didn't see or hear anybody here with you yesterday, you were just there on your own." Orlando replied, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Tempest Shadow, Trixie, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, Silverstream, Autumn Blaze, Steven, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Bismuth, Lapis Lazuli, Peridot, Grim, Gumball, Darwin, Anais, Richard, Nicole, Mordecai, Rigby, Benson, Pops, Skips, Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost, Frylock, Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, Orchid, Alice, Mercer, Silver, Rock, Aero, and Roger and look at them with shock, "Wait, none of you guys saw her?!" Muscle Man asked, "No, we just said, we didn't see or hear a Catherine, we just saw Vincent sitting here on his own, talking to himself." Toby replied, "What?! We saw her!" Pearl said, "Yeah, she was sitting right across from him!" Steven said, "I'm sorry, Steven, but I didn't see or hear anyone with Vincent." Greg said, "All of us saw her and heard her, she was sitting right there!" Amethyst said, "See, those guys confess that they have saw her." Vincent said, "Well, not all of them, plus, we didn't see or hear a Catherine." Jonny replied, "Didn't she sent picture on your phone, man?" Orlando asked, "Yeah, but all of her pictures and texts she sent me are gone, they deleted themselves." Vincent replied, shocking Steven, Amethyst, Pearl, Nick, Lance, Mordecai, Rigby, Benson, and Sunset Shimmer, "Wait, all of them are gone?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Yes." Vincent replied, "What is going on?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Did you see a Catherine, Professor?" Blossom asked, "I'm sorry, girls, but I did not." Professor Utonium replied, "What about you two?" Blossom asked, "I saw her." Bubbles replied, "So did I, I heard her, too." Buttercup said, "I didn't see any Catherine." Nigel said, "Me neither." Hoagie said, "Nuh-uh." Kuki said, "I didn't see anyone, either." Wally said, "Nope." Abby said, "Did you see Catherine, Mandy?" Billy asked, "I must admit, I did not." Mandy replied, "Hmm, it seems only the humans can't see or hear her, this Catherine must be a supernatural being, and speaking of supernatural beings, I'm getting a strange feeling from that bartender." Grim said, everybody's attention was caught and they look at Boss, "Well, I'm gonna head home, it's late." Jonny said, everybody saw the time and saw it was late, so they left, only Vincent, Erica, Grim, the ponies, Spike, Autumn Blaze, and Young Six remain in the bar, "Wait, she talked to someone the first time she came." Vincent said, and he remembers, "Wait a minute, she spoke to that bartender, he has the answers." Vincent said, and he goes to Boss. Vincent got aggressive with Boss while the ponies, Spike, Autumn Blaze, and Young Six stood behind him and watched with shock, they argue and Erica had to break them up, but Boss confirmed he did speak with her, "I didn't think you'd figure me out, watching you run like the wind in those nightmares was quite the show." Boss said, "Wait, what?" Vincent asked, the others attentions were caught as well, "Did you just say you're behind the nightmares?" Vincent asked, "I have no idea what you're talking about." Boss replied, "You just said you watched me run in my nightmares." Vincent said, "The usual, right? Rum and cola, was it?" Boss asked, "Don't mess with me, you just said you watched me run like the wind." Vincent replied, "I didn't say that." Boss said, Princess Celestia glared at him, the two bickered and Vincent then grabbed him and got aggressive, "And what is with these sunglasses, you are frickin' indoors!" Vincent said, and he took them off, he looks and sees Boss' eyes, they were completely red, his right pupil was shaped like a mars symbol while his left pupil was shaped like a venus symbol, "Whoa!" Vincent said as he jumped back, everybody sees Boss' eyes and Erica, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Autumn Blaze, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Ocellus, and Yona screamed with fear at seeing his eyes, "Who are you?" Princess Celestia asked, "Well, if you must ask, I am Thomas Mutton." Boss replied, "Wait, Thomas Mutton, you're Dumuzid." Grim said, "You know him?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, god of sheep, consort of the goddess of love, Ishtar, he interacts with the mortals every once in a while, first time was seven hundred years ago, second time was three hundred years ago, this is the third time." Grim replied, "What about Catherine?" Vincent asked, "She is not of this realm, she is a succubus, cannot be seen or heard by regular mortals." Thomas Mutton replied, Vincent slammed his fists on the bar counter, "Because of you, Katherine and I are through!" Vincent said, the ponies had very shocked faces, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence were then furious, "Well, that is unfortunate, but my job is to weed out the men who won't marry and won't father children, it is unfortunate, but required, it's best described as a necessary evil." Thomas Mutton replied, "No." Princess Celestia said, she walked forward, "Whether someone wants love or have children is their choice, you have no right to choose." Princess Celestia said, "Let's settle this." Vincent said, "Tonight." Thomas Mutton replied, "Fine, but if I win, no more nightmares for everybody." Vincent said, "Deal." Thomas Mutton replied, and Vincent went to go sit, Erica and the others look back and saw Thomas Mutton was gone. The world's natives who were visiting the Stray Sheep go to Vincent, who was drinking, "Are you going home, Vincent?" Princess Cadence asked, "Yeah, after this drink." Vincent replied, and he drank slowly while the world's natives who were present comforted him, "Can't you do anything?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I'm sorry, but my powers do not work in the dream realm." Grim replied, Vincent finished his drink after a few minutes, he left his money on the table and went to the door, "Hey, are you leaving?" Erica asked, "Yeah, I shouldn't keep him waiting." Vincent replied, and everybody went outside with him, "Good luck, Vincent." Twilight Sparkle said, "Thanks." Vincent replied, "We're counting on you, we're praying for you to win." Princess Cadence said, "I'll be fine, no more nightmares after tonight." Vincent replied, "Okay, be careful." Shining Armor said, and they all went home. Princess Luna enters the dream realm and the other ponies and Spike come together in the dream realm, they see Vincent's dream was just starting and he entered the door while they watch nervously, they see him walk alone and he went into the door. Vincent enters the first area and there was a lot of gold there, Vincent and Thomas Mutton talk for a bit and Vincent begins climbing, "This place looks tough." Rainbow Dash said, "Don't give up hope, Rainbow, I just know Vincent will win." Twilight Sparkle replied, they watch him and he makes it up to the top, the ponies and Spike smile at seeing him make it and he goes up to the landing. Vincent arrives at the landing and everyone saw it, "It's beautiful." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yes, all of that white and gold is pretty nice." Rarity replied, Thomas Mutton spoke a little and Vincent entered the confession both, he, the voice, and Thomas Mutton talk a bit, the voice then reveals himself to be Astaroth, and Vincent was taken up to the second area. Vincent arrives at the second area and begins to climb, he climbs for a while and makes it to the top, the ponies and Spike smile and Vincent goes up to the next area. Vincent arrives at the next landing and Thomas Mutton speaks a bit, Vincent goes into the confessional booth and Astaroth speaks a little, rope comes down and Vincent pulls one, he goes up to the next area. Vincent arrives at the third area and climbs, "Whoa, three different paths, this looks like a tough one." Rainbow Dash said, "Yeah, all of them block puzzles startin' to hurt mah head." Applejack replied, Big Macintosh rubbed her head to make it less painful, "Thanks, Big Mac." Applejack said, Big Macintosh smiled, they watch Vincent solved the puzzles and went up to the next landing. Vincent arrives at the next area and Thomas Mutton speaks a bit, Vincent entered the confessional booth and Astaroth speaks a bit, revealing was Vincent only halfway in the process, shocking the ponies and Spike, "He's only halfway?!" Scootaloo asked, "Halfway?! HOW LONG IS THIS?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "Calm down, Pinkie." Maud Pie replied, and Vincent goes up to the fourth area after pulling a rope down. Vincent arrives at the fourth area and keeps climbing, he made it to the top after several minutes, he made it to the next landing, "Wow, to think you have this much will to survive. Very well, I, Thomas Mutton, shall be your opponent." Thomas Mutton said, and Vincent went into the confessional booth, Astaroth speaks and Vincent pulls down a rope, he goes up to the fifth area. Vincent arrives at the fifth area and they hear a loud noise, they see Thomas Mutton sitting in a throne with a big revolver in his right hand, and a gavel in his left hand, scaring the ponies and Spike, Vincent and Thomas Mutton converse a bit and Vincent begins climbing, Thomas Mutton's throne moves forward and he kicks one block with his right foot, the shock wave knocked Vincent down, he got back up and kept climbing, "We change here." Thomas Mutton said, and he hits his gavel, some of the blocks change, "What?! He can change the blocks?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "That's cheating!" Pinkie Pie said, Vincent climbs a bit more, "Head goes boom!" Thomas Mutton said, and he aims his gun, he shoots a block and destroys it, he shoots two more and stops, Vincent climbs more, "Boy, stop moving!" Thomas Mutton said, Vincent climbs while Thomas Mutton kicks the blocks, changes them, and fires his gun, but Vincent made it to the top and climbed to the last landing. Vincent climbs up and goes to the final landing, "Curse you, sheep. How could this happen? Hooooooow?! Very well... This makes it war, boy... I swear on the name of Dumuzid, the Shepherd, consort of Ishtar! Your rear is mine, punk! Prepare yourself!" Thomas Mutton said, the ponies and Spike were nervous about the next area, they can see Vincent was visibly tired, but he goes into the confessional booth and Astaroth speaks a bit and sends Vincent up to the last stage. Vincent pants and hears Thomas Mutton huffing, the two speak for a bit and Thomas Mutton changes to Dumuzid, a giant floating head, which scared Vincent and the ponies and Spike watching, Vincent tries to calm him but Dumuzid just roars, "So, this is the final battle?! I've come this far... I'm not going to die here, dammit! KATHERINE!!!!" Vincent said, and he began climbing. Vincent begins climbing while Dumuzid just floated around for now, "Dumuzid... BEAM!!" Dumuzid said, and he destroyed a large part of the tower with a red beam from his right eye, shocking the ponies and Spike, "What the? I've never seen a beam that big before." Twilight Sparkle said, "Vincent will be done for if he gets hit by that." Applejack said, they watch Vincent climb more, "Give up, boy." Dumuzid said, Vincent just climbed, "Relax. You're only going to die." Dumuzid said, Vincent climbs a bit more, "It's a fine night for a curse." Dumuzid said, and a purple cloud appeared above Vincent's head, it made the blocks change randomly, Vincent ignored it and kept climbing, "Dumuzid... BEAM!!" Dumuzid said, and shot out another beam, which just barely missed Vincent, "It's a fine night for a curse." Dumuzid said, and he changes the blocks at random again, but Vincent still climbs up, "I am the Morning Star! Hyaah!" Dumuzid said, and changed the blocks again, but Vincent keeps climbing and was near the end, "Divine Punishment... RAIN DOWN!" Dumuzid said, and meteors began to fall, greatly shocking the ponies and Spike, "M... Meteors?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "This Dumuzid has more powers than I expected." Princess Celestia said, "Come on, Vincent, you can do it." Twilight Sparkle said, "You dare resist a god?!" Dumuzid asked, Vincent keeps climbing and everybody hears the bell, "Little more." Vincent said, and he keeps climbing while dodging the meteors, he makes it to the end. Dumuzid floats and he and Vincent converse, with Vincent saying people decide who they get to love, and he opens the door, a white light obliterates Dumuzid and Vincent escapes. The ponies and Spike cheer at seeing Vincent escape, "He did it!" Sweetie Belle said, "Yes!" Rainbow Dash said, "Come on now, everypony, it's time to wake up." Princess Luna said, and they saw it was almost daytime, so they exit the dream realm. The next day comes and the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Tempest Shadow, Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and Young Six go to Vincent's home, they hear the door opened and Vincent stepped outside, "Vincent!" Twilight Sparkle said, Vincent looks and saw them running to him, they all hug him, "I knew you could do it." Twilight Sparkle said, "Congratulations, buddy." Rainbow Dash said, "Thanks, but let go now, you all are squashing me." Vincent replied, and they do, "Are you and Katherine getting back together?" Shining Armor asked, "Well, that's the plan, but that's tonight, I have to go to work now, see you guys tonight." Vincent replied, and they all went to get on with their days. Volvox was in his house's backyard with Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, Tom, Huey, Riley, Robert, Uncle Ruckus, Shake, Frylock, Meatwad, Carl, Randy, Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, Butters, Bart, Peter, Lois, Chris, Stewie, Brian, Black Dynamite, Bullhorn, Cream Corn, Honey Bee, Rick, Morty, Richard, Nicole, Gumball, Darwin, Anais, Mordecai, Rigby, Benson, Pops, Skips, Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost, Chibs, Jimmy, Mike, Gus, Vito, Harry, Dexter, Ed, Edd, Eddy, Harvey, Orchid, Nick, Lance, Alice, Mercer, Silver, Rock, Aero, and Roger were sitting at tables. It was Volvox's birthday, and everybody was celebrating, "And now, the band, Dethklok." an unseen male announcer said, they see Dethklok standing across from everyone, they begin to perform the song Birthday Dethday, everybody enjoyed it, the world's natives hear it and were shocked to hear the birthday song. Pinkie Pie dashed into the backyard, "STOP THE MUSIC!!" Pinkie Pie yelled angrily, and they do, "That is not a birthday song! No! No! No! Birthdays are a time to be happy and joyous, not a time to be singing about dying!" Pinkie Pie said, "Trust me, birthdays are not that fun and happy when you get to my age." Volvox replied, "How old are you today?" Pinkie Pie asked, "I turn fifteen billion today." Volvox replied, "Fifteen billion?!" Pinkie Pie asked with surprise, Volvox nodded with his three heads, "Birthdays can still be fun at fifteen billion years old, allow me." Pinkie Pie said, and she fired her party cannon and decorated the place, there was a big cake, ice cream, snacks everywhere, drinks, games, music, balloons, and a Katamari. Pinkie Pie rolled the Katamari around and picked up objects, "Sweet, finally, jawbreakers!" Eddy said, and he eats them along with Ed and Edd, "Whee!!" Pinkie Pie said as she rolled the Katamari by trotting on it, "Thanks for the free food." Robert said, Pinkie Pie stopped, "Wait, you guys aren't here to have fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Of course not, Volvox promised us free food, that's why we came." Uncle Ruckus replied, "What about the rest of you?" Pinkie Pie asked, "I came to wish him a happy birthday." Alice replied, "I did, too." Silver said, "Just thought it'd be nice to visit." Aero said, "Nick, Lance, Harvey, and I only came along because these five wanted to go." Orchid said, "And the rest of us are basically only here for the free food." Stan said, Pinkie Pie looked at them disapprovingly, "Come on, guys, let's just celebrate my birthday." Volvox said, and they do while Pinkie Pie did not feel like having fun due to most of them only being there for free food. A white light appears in the sky and Mr. Salacia appeared, scaring the world's natives, "I have returned, Volvox." Mr. Salacia said as he floated towards them, "Girls, get ready!" Blossom said as she got ready to fight him with Bubbles and Buttercup, but Roger just flies up and slaps with the back of his right hand, Mr. Salacia screams as he flies into a house and explodes, shocking the Powerpuff Girls and the world's natives. A few hours pass and the King of All Cosmos appeared, surprising everyone, "Good news, everyone, We have finished restoring all of the stars and moon." King of All Cosmos said, Princess Luna and Roger use their powers and bring the moon up, much to Princess Luna's delight, "Oh, a Katamari, We are proud to see you all have developed an interest in Our game." the King of All Cosmos said, "Actually, that's mine." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, We wish you to have fun, go on and enjoy it, We think you will like the game." the King of All Cosmos replied, Pinkie Pie smiled, "Come now, son, it is time for Us to depart." the King of All Cosmos said, and he and the Prince flew back into the sky. Everybody just went on with their days. Night time comes with everybody relaxing during their afternoons, the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, princesses, Spike, Shining Armor, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Tempest Shadow, and Autumn Blaze enter the Stray Sheep and see Vincent conversing with Boss, they finish and Katherine arrived, they sit together and Vincent persuades her about the cheating not being real, and he was losing his mind, Katherine did not believe him until Orlando, Jonny, Toby, Boss, Steven, Grim, the ponies, Spike, and Young Six explain everything to her, she began to cry a bit but she and Vincent got back together, and Katherine left, "Do you know Astaroth, Volvox?" Vincent asked, "Yes, he used to serve under me, I'll have a talk with him later." Volvox replied, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence walk to boss and Shining Armor puts handcuffs on Boss with his magic, "What is this?" Boss asked, "You're under arrest." Shining Armor replied, "For what?" Boss asked, "For interfering with one's relationship, and nearly destroying their romance." Princess Cadence replied, "But I promised Vincent I'd host his wedding." Boss said, "When is the wedding, Vincent?" Shining Armor asked, "Might be tomorrow if Roger uses his powers." Vincent replied, "That's enough time, come with us now, Dumuzid." Princess Cadence said, and they take him away, everybody already went home, so they left as well and slept peacefully for the night. The next night comes and Boss was released from jail to host Vincent's and Katherine's wedding, the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Tempest Shadow, Autumn Blaze, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Grampa Gruff, Gilda, Gabby, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, Pharynx, Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, Sky Beak, Ocean Flow, Terramar, Chief Thunderhooves, and Rain Shine attended the wedding with them, since the wedding was of short notice, they did not have time to dress for the occasion, every single person who lived in the neighborhood was present as well, they all wore suits and gowns at the wedding, everybody had a good time while Steven and Greg played music, Pinkie Pie joined them, and Randy did shortly afterwards, "I just love happy endings." Lisa said, "We all do." Yakko replied, and everybody began to hitting their glasses with silverware while the world's natives were confused, they watch and see Vincent and Katherine kiss while everybody cheers, Princess Cadence uses her magic to make the two love one another more. Rick and Morty crashed in shortly afterwards, "Hey, guys, the device is *burp* complete, we can go *burp* back home." Rick said, everybody cheered and Frylock, Rick, Anais, Huey, and Roger went to it, "Thanks for helping us fix it, Sunburst." Frylock said, "You're welcome." Sunburst replied, "Well, we're about to leave, you all should get out of the neighborhood so you don't end up transferred to our world by mistake." Volvox said, and they do, "It was a pleasure meeting you guys again." Phoenix said, "It was nice to see you again, too, Phoenix." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Alright, here goes." Roger said, and he uses his powers, they went home while everybody said bye to them, and they all sleep for the rest of the night. Pinkie Pie rolled the Katamari in Ponyville and Equestria and her friends had to restrain her, while Fluttershy prayed for Rita and Runt to find a home one day, Twilight Sparkle was happy to meet Phoenix again and she talked about the first time he came to Equestria the next day at the School of Friendship, Rainbow Dash made new friends and had fun getting to meet Buttercup, Wally and Mercer, Applejack was glad to see Vincent get married, and Rarity developed an interest with cosplaying and decided to try it, while she still hated the sagging fashion, Princess Celestia saw Los Pollos Hermanos' trucks before they left and noticed some people attack them, but while she did not find out what was suspicious about Gus, she still knows he was hiding something, and hopes it will be exposed in the future. Everybody in the neighborhood went on with their lives and had crazy antics happen every now and then, while Takeshi, Hayato, Taki, and Tachibana left to go to other parts of the world to fight Shocker, with Princess Celestia giving them a magical amulet that will allow them to see through their disguises, the four left and went back to Japan to fight off Shocker. ExtinctThe Earth was newly created by a being called The Maker and it made various creatures appear to roam it, the many creatures fought one another and some went extinct while others thrived, beings from high in the sky and deep below the ground also emerged to wage war. A small kingdom got established in the center of the Earth and it expanded slowly as its ruler brought animal herds and groups of bugs under its rule, some of the creatures fought and challenged the ruler and some went under its rule while others established their own kingdoms. Time passed and many more creatures appeared, creatures from other planets in outer space and other realms and dimensions also began coming to the Earth, they already had their own civilizations made and some became allies, some remained neutral, and some became enemies. More creatures and civilizations appeared while the one in the center of the Earth stood for centuries, it eventually became an empire where many creatures lived together and everyone could travel anywhere in the world. Everything was peaceful and harmonious and a device was built that could teleport the kingdom anywhere in existence to have diplomatic meetings, an event in space caused every creature to suddenly go extinct and the device was left unattended, one of its coordinates went off at random and the kingdom got teleported elsewhere. Equestria and the other countries were getting on with their days peacefully until a rift and white electricity appeared in the ocean to Equestria's northeast, the place appeared and everybody looked on in awe at the place, there were many different types of homes in it and a big, tall, gold, rectangular shaped castle with three pointed rooftops on it in the center of the new land. Everybody looked at it curiously and noticed something off, "I don't see anybody." Princess Ember reported, "Yeah, place looks deserted." King Thorax added, "What? How strange, everything looks clean and well kept." Princess Luna observed, "Come on, everyone, let's see if there's anyone there." Twilight Sparkle said, and she, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Spike went into her hot air balloon and flew there. The Mane Six and Spike arrived at the kingdom and did not see a single person in the parts they flew over, "Huh? Where is everybody?" Pinkie Pie asked, "That's what Ah wanna know, Pinkie Pie, them leavin' suddenly and leavin' their stuff behind like this ain't natural." Applejack responded, "Well, at least some of them left behind their fashion, I can use that as a way to determine how they lived and preserve their history." Rarity remarked, "I think the homes would be better at preserving their history." Fluttershy spoke as she saw tipis, yarangas, mounds, apartment complexes, bungalows, coffins, palaces, castles, fortresses, towers, items and art in caves, holes that led underground, and more items in trees, "Wow, a lot's been left behind." Pinkie Pie remarked, "Yeah, this is definitely not normal." Rainbow Dash replied, "Well, we're about to arrive at the big castle in the center, let's go." Twilight Sparkle said, and they landed. The Mane Six walked forward and saw the place was abandoned, they called out for people but there was no answer, they entered the castle and saw the halls were very tall and wide, they checked the rooms saw empty plaques on the walls in several rooms, "Huh, strange, something used to be on them and they're missing now." Twilight Sparkle stated, "There's labels on the bottom of them." Spike said, and they looked, "I don't recognize the language, Spike." Twilight Sparkle said, Pinkie Pie dashed to the plaques and read them, "Hmm, they seemed to have been display for creature heads, this one says 'Tyrannosaurus', this one says 'Stegosaurus', this one is 'Allosaurus', this one is 'Velociraptor', this one says 'Dunkleosteus', this one says 'Quetzalcoatlus', this one says 'Mosasaurus'..." Pinkie Pie said, "Pinkie Pie, we don't have time to go over all of it right now." Twilight Sparkle reminded, and she went back to them, "Alright, let's keep examining." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they did. They checked the other rooms and found more plaques on the walls alongside a map room for their home planet, space, and other realms and dimensions, an armory, several bedrooms and bathrooms, a dungeon, training grounds behind the castle, a shower room, a huge dining room, a room for taking care of and feeding pets, a blacksmithing room, an alchemy room, a chemistry room, a room for experimenting with magic with tomes and runes everywhere, a room for building machines, and a room for communicating with ghosts. The Mane Six and Spike went up to the top floor in the center part and arrived at a throne room, "Huh? There's no ruler." Rainbow Dash spoke, "Let's search and see if we can find something." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they did. Everybody found many different flags of various shapes, sizes, and colors alongside family crests and coats of arms, "Hey! Ah found somethin' here y'all." Applejack reported, they went to her and found a strange looking device, "What is this?" Fluttershy questioned, "Looks like some kind of recorder." Twilight Sparkle replied, she checked it with her magic and she and friends got startled when one of the buttons made a projector screen come up. The screen showed the same kingdom as now and many other smaller civilizations around it, a male Caucasian human wearing a black tall hat and had shoulder-length blond hair and a moustache, "A human?" Spike exclaimed, "Emperor Volvox, our time to be erased from existence is nigh, this is my last report to you as I, the Count of Saint Germain, is about to be gone for good. I am five years in the future from now, a being in space named Azathoth is going to awaken, when it does, all life on the planets will be erased, life in other realms and dimensions will be untouched due to it being put back asleep before it can erase them. My time is short, I'm afraid I won't be returning, as the only person in our enormous empire who can travel through time ever since Asmer's death, I bid you farewell and good luck on preserving our planet's history, tell the others I have said goodbye as well." the man said and he suddenly disappeared. The Mane Six and Spike looked on in disbelief and at the kingdom, "So everybody did disappear, they're gone-gone." Applejack remarked, "Still why did it come here?" Rainbow Dash questioned, "We'll search later, we have to report to the others what happened." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they went back to the hot air balloon and took off. Everybody watched and waited for the Mane Six and Spike to appear, they appeared in the air with the hot air balloon and Twilight Sparkle exhaled, "Attention, everyone, we have checked the place, it is an abandoned kingdom, everybody who has resided there has gone extinct." Twilight Sparkle reported in her Royal Canterlot Voice, the others gasped and exclaimed, "It's true, y'all, we found a recording, some guy who called himself the Count of Saint Germain was able to travel through time and went into the future, he sent back a recordin' and he said some bein' named Azathoth was gonna awaken and everyone would begin gettin' erased from existence, we didn't get targeted cause it was put back asleep before it could reach us, these guys tried preservin' their history as much as they could before they got erased." Applejack explained, "Oh, then maybe we can find out who they were." Princess Cadance suggested, "I agree, only other name we got besides this Count of Saint Germain is Emperor Volvox, this place was the center of a giant empire, we've found maps, too, this is only one part of it." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Let's start checking it out tomorrow, for now, let's rest, everycreature." Princess Celestia said, everybody agreed and went home, "I'm going to contact Sunset Shimmer and hope she can come tomorrow and help us." Twilight Sparkle spoke, her friends nodded and they all went home and slept. The next day came and Sunset Shimmer arrived, everybody explored the new land and looked for artifacts, everyone found books, maps, TVs, pots, rings, bracelets, clothes, weapons, armor, tools, paintings, statues, carvings, religious artifacts, and many different forms of artwork, "My, so many different styles in everything, it's like many cultures merged together into one." Rarity stated, "So, do you recognize this language, Sunset?" Twilight Sparkle asked while she showed her the plaques, "No, can't say that I do, let's check the others, I'm seeing English, Spanish, and Chinese languages as well, maybe we can figure out something." Sunset Shimmer stated, and she looked, she pointed out the languages Japanese, Korean, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, German, and Portuguese, "Could this be it?" Sunset Shimmer asked as she showed her a language called Pascuan, "That doesn't look like it." Twilight Sparkle responded, and they checked more, "Uh-huh! I found it, the language on the plaques is called... Enochian?" Sunset Shimmer said, "You know it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No, I've never heard of it." Sunset Shimmer responded, "It looks like this language had some kind of power to it, all of the magic tomes and spells here are written in it." Princess Celestia stated while she examined them, "Hey! Look at this picture here." Silverstream said, and everybody did. They looked and gasped in awe when they saw many creatures in it, they saw Volvox an extremely big quadrupedal creature with three heads, the back of his heads shaped like semicircles and the front were shaped like two back-to-back right triangles, he did not have any ears or noses, his four eyes were slanted and monochromatic and did not have any pupils or irises and were on the sides of his head. The right half of his body and right head were gray and skeletal with black holes in place of his eyes and white teeth, the five claws on his right front foot and right hind foot were also made of gray bones. The left half of his body and his left head were pitch black like a shadow, the head's eyes and teeth and five claws on his left front foot and left hind foot were red. His center head, spine, and tail were pink and made out of a parasitic-like skin, his spine had yellow seven pointed star-like organic matters growing on him and each tip was sharp, the tip of his tail was yellow and shaped like a spear's tip with sharp tips on the back corners, and the center head's eyes and teeth, the seven-pointed organic stars, and his tail's tip were yellow. Everybody kept looking and saw a person to his right called Dommiel, he was wearing a dark blue suit of armor with three red-orange organic spikes on his pauldrons, a white spike on the back of each couter, white spikes on the back of his bracers and gauntlets, a white spike on the top of each sabaton and the end of his sabatons were pointed and sharp, his cuirass did not have any decorations on it, and his leg armor were one piece that covered his entire shins and calves, knee pads, another piece covering his entire thighs, and a piece of armor that covered his groin and butt areas, his helmet covered his entire head and left only his glowing red eyes exposed, he had three white horns on his helmet with two curved horns on the sides and one straight horn on his forehead. There was a human named Tom standing to Volvox's left and he was a very old bald man with dark tan skin and had a full white beard, he only wore beige tattered pants and was barefoot, his eyes were glowing gold, "They must've been the empire's rulers." King Thorax deduced, "I guess, there's two more people there with them." Twilight Sparkle spoke, they saw the next person was muscular, had light blue skin, white monochromatic eyes, a strong jawline, shoulder-length straight black hair, and was shirtless and barefoot and only wore torn black pants, he had bandages around his hands with five knife blades on each hand, and his name was Giovi, "I wonder what he is." Sandbar remarked, "So, who is that last guy there?" Starlight Glimmer questioned as she pointed to the man wearing a black tall hat, red coat, white pants, black vest, and white shoes, "Oh, that's that Count of Saint Germain guy we saw in the recording yesterday." Rainbow Dash revealed, "I must say, he is dressed quite fabulously." Rarity complimented, "Ah'm guessin' all of these named folks were the rulers or somethin' with Volvox bein' the top ruler." Applejack deduced, "That's my guess, too, let's see what their names are." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they did. Everybody looked at the big beings in the skies and saw the names Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Selaphiel, Jegudiel, Barachiel, Azrael, Abaddon, Lucifer, Leviathan, Mammon, Beelzebub, Belphegor, Asmodeus, Satan, Zeus, Poseidon, Amphitrite, Hades, Persephone, Artemis, Typhon, Osiris, Amun, Ra, Khonshu, Anubis, Apep, Set, Odin, Thor, Vishnu, Bishamonten, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Fujin, Raijin, Huitzilopochtli, Pazuzu, Dumuzid, Ishtar, Sun Wukong, Azathoth, Cxaxukluth, Daoloth, Ghroth, Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, Tulzscha, Yibb-Tstll, Yog-Sothoth, and four skeletal figures in black cloaks riding on horses, the one holding a bow and riding a white horse and wearing a crown was White Rider, the one holding a sword and riding a red horse was Red Rider, the one holding scales and riding a black horse was Black Rider, and the one holding a scythe and riding a pale horse was Pale Rider, "That Azathoth guy and those eight around it with unpronounceable names are scary looking."

Ocellus stated, "You said it, there seems to be more rulers on here but not as scary lookin'." Applejack remarked, and they looked at them. They saw a human named King Allant XII of Boleteria, another human called Prince Edmund Blackadder, another human called Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak, human representatives Darwin and Marie, mutant representatives Ivan and Lizmarie, robot representatives T-1850 and Model X, devilgor representatives Zerbebuth and Zancrus, humanoid lion-like creatures that represented animals named Cecil and Zira, bug representatives Scarab and Sacer, microscopic creatures representatives Flagellum and Cilia, elf village elder Lazlo, fairy king Oberon, fairy queen Titania, fairy counselor Melvin, orc regent Urub, dwarf king Flamma, vampire count Dracula, werewolf chief Jason, troll king Karstaag, ghoul chief Isbar, Fomorian king Balor, and oni king Shuten-dōji, "Wow, that's a lot of different creatures."

They looked and saw Volvox had a twin sister named Euglena, a female angel named Asmer and a human named Tiffany served alongside her, all three of them died in battle, "Alright, that looks like all of the rulers." King Thorax spoke, "Nope, there's one on this one here." Pharynx responded, they looked at the picture and saw a humongous being called the King of All Cosmos on it, he was painted as even bigger than Volvox, "Wow, that might be the biggest being we've ever seen if he ever came to our world." Trixie remarked, "Indeed, I don't think our world would be big enough for me to visit." Rarity said, "Here's a picture Grubber and I found, it's a painting of several named individuals who are said to have accomplished great things." Tempest Shadow stated, and everybody went. They looked at the picture and saw the people on there, first one that caught their attentions were a man and two boys who were robotic upper-right parts of their faces and made out of silver metal, red slanted right eyes, dark red left cheeks, the man's and older boy's human left eyes were blue while the younger boy's human left eye was brown, their right foots were dark red with dark orange undersides and five black claws for toenails, their left foots were robotic and silver, their right hands were robotic, their left hands were alien with the dark red and dark orange skin and had black claws in place of fingers and thumbs, they had dark red bat-like wings with dark orange membranes coming out of their backs with silver robotic parts on them, gills on the sides of their necks, and their abdomens were silver and metallic in some places, dark red with alien skin in other places of their abdomen, and the rest of their bodies were human, the man's name was Harvey, the older boy's name was Nick, and younger boy's name was Lance, "Wow, I wonder what happened to them."

Ocellus deduced, "I see it, too, though judging by the young boy's eye color, he might be adopted." Starlight Glimmer added, "I must say though, those two would make for some interesting parents." Shining Armor remarked, the others chuckled, "Come on, let's see who the rest are." Twilight Sparkle said, and everybody looked. They looked at the next people and the first person who caught their attention was a man with three different names, it read as Joe/Manco/Blondie, the next names were Josey Wales, Shane, Ash Williams, Ellen Ripley, Bishop, Dwayne Hicks, Rebecca "Newt" Jorden, Alan "Dutch" Schaefer, R.J.

Apple Bloom said, "It sure is, Apple Bloom, this must've been one powerful empire." Applejack replied, "Hey, look here, it says at the bottom that they have been recognized for their efforts in keeping the empire safe by either fighting in wars or acting as law enforcement, some of them seemed to have stopped some invasions single-handedly, too." Autumn Blaze stated, "There's another picture of renowned and recognizable people here, too." Grampa Gruff stated, and they went.

Sandbar spoke, everybody looked at it and saw even more people in it, their names were Mr. Bean, Yakko Warner, Wakko Warner, Dot Warner, Bobby, Pesto, Squit, Buttons, Mindy, Rita, Runt, Slappy Squirrel, Skippy Squirrel, and a band called Dethklok which consisted of Nathan Explosion, Skwisgaar Skwigelf, William Murderface, Pickles the Drummer, and Toki Wartooth, "What in tarnation are Yakko, Wakko, and Dot supposed to be?" Applejack questioned, "I have no clue, but it says here they and the others in the picture are renowned for being entertainers and uplifting the spirits of those who were upset." Twilight Sparkle responded as she read the bottom text, "Is that all of the pictures?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Nope, there's another one over here." Smolder responded, and they went to it. They looked and saw fourteen human men in the picture, their names were King Arthur, Sir Lancelot, Sir Gawain, Prince Geraint, Sir Percival, Sir Bors the Younger, Sir Lamorak, Sir Kay, Sir Gareth, Sir Bedivere, Sir Gaheris, Sir Galahad, Sir Tristan, and Sir Palamedes, "Knights of the Round Table, most heroic humans in our empire's history who protected and defended the weak from threats." Twilight Sparkle read, she also noticed a wizard named Merlin in the picture's background, "*gasp* Twilight! Twilight! Look! Over here!" Pinkie Pie hollered, Twilight Sparkle trotted to her and Pinkie Pie pointed at a person, she gasped when she saw a picture of Phoenix Wright, "It is him, so he was a native of this empire." Twilight Sparkle remarked, she also saw Apollo Justice, Trucy Wright, Athena Cykes, and Jimmy McGill, "Let's see here, oh, best lawyers in the empire, aw, Phoenix really was renowned back at home." Twilight Sparkle chirped while smiling, "Okay, that seems to be everybody." Dragon Lord Torch said as he looked around, "Still, wow, that's a lot of famous people." Sunset Shimmer commented, "Come, let us see if we can find more art of these people." Princess Luna spoke, everybody agreed and they went elsewhere. Everybody traveled together and found many pedestals in one area but there was nothing on them, "Huh? Where is everything?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Pinkie, can you read the Enochian language at the bottom?" Twilight Sparkle requested, and she dashed over. She read the plaques while no one knew what they were, "Spinosaurus, Argentinosaurus, Shantungosaurus, Eotriceratops, Pachycephalosaurus, Stegosaurus, Velociraptor, Tyrannosaurus, Giganotosaurus, Allosaurus, Triceratops, Chilesaurus." Pinkie Pie said, everybody became confused while she went to the next group, "Mosasaurus, Kronosaurus, Elasmosaurus, Shonisaurus, Nothosaurus, Liopleurodon." Pinkie Pie read, she dashed to the next group, "Arambourgiania, Sordes, Pterodactyl, Microraptor."

Pinkie Pie read and then went to the next ones, "Dunkleosteus, Deinosuchus, Sarcosuchus, Archelon, Cameroceras, Megalodon, Tiktaalik, Atopodentatus, Eurypterus." Pinkie Pie said and then went to the last group, "Argentavis, Quetzalcoatlus." Pinkie Pie read, "I wonder what these were." Scootaloo commented while the others agreed, "Well, come on, let's see what else we can find." King Thorax remarked, and everybody went elsewhere. Everybody walked around and saw more images and noticed some of the beings from before, they had other beings serving under them and each one was named, the creatures serving under Zeus, Poseidon, Amphitrite, Hades, Persephone, Artemis, and Typhon were a bird made of red fire named Phoenix, fairies, giants, were-beasts, cyclopes, Cerberus, Orthrus, the Hydra, the Chimera, the Minotaur, harpies, a Sphinx, Scylla, Charybdis, the Nemean Lion, the Erymanthian Boar, Stymphalian Birds, Catoblepas, centaurs, satyrs, a live statue named Talos, giants underwater called Laestrygonians, three Gorgons named Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa, sirens, nymphs that were divided into oreads, naiads, nereids, oceanids, alseids, auloniads, leimakids, napaeas, anthousais, dryads, hamadryads, hyleorois, and a unique nymph named Nephele, the Griffon, the Hippogriff, the Colchian Dragon, Ladon, and the Caucasian Eagle, "So those big beings in the first picture had people servin' under them, too." Applejack commented, "Let's see the next one." Sweetie Belle responded, and they did. They saw Odin and he was riding on a horse named Sleipnir and the people with him were Thor, the Kraken, elves, the Valkyries, trolls, and draugr, "Alright, let's see who's next." Pharynx and said, and they saw Osiris, Amun, Ra, Khonshu, Anubis, Apep, and Set, the creatures under them were mummies, "Oh, that's too bad, there's only one type here." Smolder commented, the next one had Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Bishamonten, Raijin, and Fujin, the creatures under them were tengus, the Gashadokuro, kitsunes, tanukis, yuki-onnas, Shuten-dōji and his onis, umi-bōzus, the Azukiarai, the Bake-kujira, bakenekos, Enenra, kappas, the Ushi-oni, Hibagon, the Hone-onna, Ikuchi, Isonade, Issie, Ittan-momen, the Jorōgumo, kamaitachis, nekomatas, Wanyūdō, kechibis, Keukegen, Mizuchi, mujinas, mu-onnas, namahages, ningyos, the Nue, nure-onnas, ōkubis, the Ōmukade, onibis, the Onihitokuchi, onikumas, the Raijū, Rōjinbi, the Satori, tenkas, tsuchigumos, the Tsurube-otoshi, yadōkais, the Tsuchinoko, ningens, and Yamata-no-Orochi, "Wow, that's a lot of creatures." Sunset Shimmer stated, and they looked at the next group, it had Pazuzu, Ishtar, and Dumuzid and had incubi and succubi serving under them, "That seems to be all of them, let's see what the others are." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and they looked. Everybody saw a being with Sun Wukong and it was called a pixiu while its name was Tiān lù, the next creatures were creatures that would serve under any god, they were skeletons, dragons, ghosts, and beings made of metal and wires called robots, "Looks, they did have dragons." Spike chirped, "They don't look like our kind, though." Princess Ember remarked, "Alright, and now lastly, the independent creatures who served no one." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they saw the Basilisk, the Cockatrice, the Lambton Worm, the Nuckelavee, the Hound of Baskervilles, the Boogeyman, ogres, the Kelpie, the Fomorians, Owlman, Spring-heeled Jack, the Headless Horseman, Dullahan, the Sluagh, will-o'-the-wisps, goblins, the Tarasque, the Lou Carcolh, golems, Behemoth, Ziz, vampires, zombies, the Aswang, the Manananggal, the Bakunawa, ekeks, wakwaks, the Penanggalan, ghouls, the Azhi Dahaka, the Manticore, the Roc, dwarfs, alps, the Mongolian Death Worm, mermen, mermaids, swan maidens, the Thetis Lake Monster, the Yeti, the Bunyip, yowies, a bird made of blue lightning named Thunderbird, wendigoes, jackalopes, skinwalkers, pukwudgies, the Piasa, mngwas, nandi bears, the Kongamato, the Popobawa, the Grootslang, orcs, Bigfoot, skunk apes, the Jersey Devil, the Dover Demon, the Flatwoods Monster, Mothman, Goatman, the Chupacabra, the Loch Ness Monster, the Morgawr, and creatures called mutants who have changed due to either chemicals or radioactivity, and beings who part organic and part machine called cyborgs, "Wow, I'm surprised, I did not think there would have been this many different types of creatures in it." Twilight Sparkle said, "There's still a few pictures here." Princess Skystar reported, everybody saw a picture of Santa Claus cheering up kids, another picture of a man named Jesus tending to the wounded and they were led by four elderly men, a deaf man named John, a blind man named Peter, a mute man named Christopher, and a man in a wheelchair named Vincent, Jesus was smiling and healing them and others with his powers, the last picture they found was a creature called Baku that ate nightmares so people could sleep and dream in peace, "Okay, that seems to be everybody." Rainbow Dash remarked, "Let's check the books for anything." Daring Do suggested, everybody agreed and opened them. Everybody opened the books and one of the first ones that caught their minds was a book on the empire's enemies, they saw the human enemies were first and the main ones were Cyborea and Judas Iscariot, a human rebel named Ezekiel, a man named Narcissus, an insane doctor named Dr. Challus, and a crazy looking man named Ruvik, there were also groups of demons that the people fought in the past, other enemy types included creatures from other planets that were labeled Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, Yautja, Harvesters, Xen, Strogg, Combine, Furon, Blisk, Saiyan, Namekian, Mooninite, Plutonian, Kryptonian, Symbiote, the Flood, and Gem, a being called The Thing, two individual extraterrestrials named Brainiac and Darkseid, a group of creatures called gremlins, an unknown extraterrestrial species that unleash bugs that produce colorless, odorless poisonous fumes that kill everything, and an alien under the planet's ground named Lavos, they also fought machines called Terminators that were led by a computer called Skynet that also had vehicles under its command, another enemy to the empire was a robot named Grid, and its supernatural threats consisted of demons, cenobites, deadites, apostles, four distinct apostles were Nosferatu Zodd, Wyald, Grunbeld, and Ganishka, malefactors, daedra, two dragons named King Ghidorah and Alduin, eight humans with demonic powers and the group's leader's name was Genma Himuro, three genetically created monsters that were called Mr. X, G/Birkin, and Nemesis, a ghost of a human man named Candyman who had a hook in place of his right hand and controlled bees, a demonic human named Mr. Salacia, and a big worldwide criminal organization of mutant cyborgs called Shocker where each commander had supernatural powers, "My, what a variety of dangers." Rarity stated, "That's not all, Rarity, look at the gremlins." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and she saw the gremlins had twelve commanders and each one had a different power and ability, their names were Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces, Volvox had a group of twelve animals fight them and their names were Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig, the animals fought the gremlin commanders and wiped out one another while Tiān lù was fighting the Gremlin King, "What's next?" Queen Novo asked, "We got some blueprints here." Rain Shine spoke, and everyone saw them, they were labeled 'Metal Gear REX', 'Metal Gear RAY', and 'Shagohod', "I wonder what these were." Spike stated, "Who knows, yak have no clue." Prince Rutherford remarked, "That appears to be all of the famous and well known members in this empire's history." Somnambula commented, "I agree with the lass, I do not see anymore pictures or books of famous people." Rockhoof added, "I think so, too, let's see if we can piece together this place's history." Flash Magnus spoke, and everybody did. Everybody worked together to piece together all of the historical documents and pieces of art to determine the empire's history and how it came to be, "Alright, I think we have it all pieced together. There was a being called the Maker that created the universe this empire is from, the gods were created first, Ishtar, Pazuzu, and Dumuzid were the first gods created, Osiris, Amun, Ra, Khonshu, Anubis, Apep, and Set were the next set to be created, Sun Wukong and Tiān lù were next, next were Zeus, Poseidon, Amphitrite, Hades, Persephone, Artemis, and Typhon, Vishnu and Bishamonten were the next ones, Leviathan, Behemoth, and Ziz came next, next group of gods were Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Fujin, and Raijin, after them were Odin and Thor, and the last one was Huitzilopochtli. The angels and demons were created next, the angels are divided into nine types: Angel, Archangel, Principality, Power, Virtue, Dominion, Throne, Cherubim, and Seraphim, the angels that watched the planet are seven archangels named Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Selaphiel, Jegudiel, and Barachiel, they are messengers to the other higher ranked angels while they watch the planet evolve. Azrael and Abaddon were of the Cherubim order but did not follow their realm's rules, so they were cast out to the demon realm and changed to fallen angels. The demon rulers that were created were Lucifer, Mammon, Beelzebub, Belphegor, Asmodeus, and Satan, Leviathan was also added and he did double duty, the seventy two named demons we saw earlier are also authority figures but don't have as much authority as those seven." Twilight Sparkle deduced, "That's quite a lot to process already." Mistmane commented, "I agree, my mind isn't what it used to be." Mage Meadowbrook added, "What's next?" Star Swirl the Bearded asked, "The first beings created on the planet was that Volvox guy and his sister Euglena, next were the dragons, and then all of those named creatures on the empty plaques, they're apparently extinct creatures, here are pictures of them, some of them are scary looking." Twilight Sparkle responded, and she showed everybody pictures of them, "Volvox and Euglena fought every creature and some of them went under their rule, and their kingdom was founded, they named it Synchrontopia, after getting those extinct animals under their rule, they fought the angels and demons, Volvox befriended a demon named Dommiel while Euglena befriended an angel named Asmer and became their respective second-in-commands, some of the natives considered defeat to be extremely shameful and preferred death, so the being named Grim was created, White Rider, Red Rider, Black Rider, and Pale Rider were also created but they were reserved in case the Maker decided to make the end of the world happen." Twilight Sparkle continued, "Wow, that sounds like a dangerous home." Ocellus stated, "It's just beginning. Volvox, Euglena, Dommiel, Asmer, and the animals fought the angels and demons while the gods either created new creatures with their powers or had children, the battles became bloodier when extraterrestrials called Yautja came to the planet and beings from other dimensions called Daedra arrived at Earth and joined the battle, everybody came together when the current dragon king Alduin threatened all of existence and the Maker erased him completely, Volvox's and Euglena's kingdom managed to win and expanded to include the new creatures in it, shortly afterwards, a creature from space named Lavos crash landed onto the Earth and began draining the Earth's energy, Volvox, Euglena, and the demons quickly worked together to destroy it." Twilight Sparkle read, "So they managed to subdue the gods?" Terramar exclaimed, "No, their creatures only lived in his kingdom peacefully while the gods did what they pleased." Twilight Sparkle corrected, "Oh." Terramar said, "Eventually, after all of those creatures in the pictures were created, the Maker made the last species: the humans, while they lacked the raw strength and powers of the other creatures, they made up for it in intelligence and skills, the humans respected, worshiped, preyed, and bowed to the other creatures and they were granted magical powers in return, they eventually developed very advanced technology the Earth has never seen before alongside powers to control the souls of the dead. One human named Ulfric Stormcloak managed to befriend the dragons and they taught him an ability called the Thu'um, shouts dragons do to use different powers, he became the ruler of his own region and gained the title Jarl. A man named Dorian eventually founded a kingdom named Boletaria, but eventually, one of its rulers, King Allant XII, made a pact with the demons and they invaded the Earth and started another world war, this war also gave Leviathan the idea to create monsters from humans called cenobites, he also brought forth another realm of monsters called apostles and humans summoned loved ones to become apostles themselves and wreaked havoc across the land. The world stayed in chaos until King Allant was put down, but Euglena, Asmer, and a human friend of the two named Tiffany were killed during the war." Twilight Sparkle read, "How much more is there?" Tempest Shadow questioned, "Not much. Shortly after Allant's defeat and the fall of Boletaria, some of the other creatures left Synchrontopia and established smaller kingdoms while staying in touch with Volvox, eventually, the humans invented ways to travel to space and other realms and dimensions, it led to many creatures discovering Synchrontopia and Volvox managed to strike a relationship with some of them and his kingdom expanded into an empire as he made deals and made the planets and realms a part of Synchrontopia. The humans then began experimenting with science and their chemicals and radioactivity led to the creation of mutants, they were shunned by others and forced to live isolated from the others." Twilight Sparkle read, "Oh, that is so mean." Fluttershy lamented, "While cruel and outrageous, it sounds like the chemicals and radioactivity were contagious." Zecora repleid, "Anyway, it states here that all of those extraterrestrials who were mentioned in the other book have invaded and tried to destroy Earth at one point or another with the Xenomorphs and Necromorphs doing the most damage, Ezekiel tried to overthrow Volvox on his own but failed miserably, Narcissus tried to establish his own kingdom while betraying Volvox and he was destroyed quickly, Prince Edmund Blackadder also tried to fight Volvox with Duke Percy and Baldrick but Blackadder was very stupid and foiled himself, there were lots of small threats and civil cases throughout the empire's history. Mr. Salacia was the most recent threat and he's been destroyed several years ago, and during the most recent outer space travel, the humans came in contact with Azathoth's other eight gods." Twilight Sparkle reported, "So no report on what Yakko, Wakko, and Dot are?" Applejack asked, "No, no explanations on the talking animals either, nor the mark on Lazlo En Kuldes' left hand other than it's called the Rune of Punishment, and Corvo having contact with some guy called The Outsider." Twilight Sparkle answered, "I'm seeing mentions of places called Silent Hill and Carnate Island." Rainbow Dash spoke, "I noticed, but there's no info on them, and only info I have on machines and the genetically engineered monsters are the humans built them and messed with nature, and as for Grid, all I can find is he was living in a robot's system and managed to find a way to manifest in reality." Twilight Sparkle stated, "What about the Count of Saint Germain?" Gallus asked, "He was able to travel through time because of an alchemy accident, he became Volvox's chief strategist and seeing into the future until he got to the day Azathoth awakened and got erased." Twilight Sparkle reported, "Wow, it's still sad to see a great empire like this suddenly collapse." Princess Cadance stated, "Can you do anything, Discord?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Sorry, but no, not even I can bring back souls if they've been destroyed." Discord responded, "Well, I guess all we can do now is look and try to see how this place came here to this world." King Thorax suggested, everybody agreed and explored. Everybody searched the place and found nothing, "Everyone! Here in the castle!" Dragon Lord Torch reported, and everybody gathered and saw a device and a big map, "Great whickering stallions! A wormhole opener! That is how they traveled, by setting coordinates, a wormhole can open at a set timer and transfer things, it looks like a person was setting the place to go elsewhere before they disappeared." Doctor Whooves explained, "So the place is stuck here forever?" Derpy asked, "No, after some time, another timer will be up and the kingdom will be returned back home." Doctor Whooves spoke, "Let's let it go back then, my friends and I learned their trade partners in other realms are still around, best we leave this place be and let it go back so others can pay respects to it." Twilight Sparkle suggested, "That's a wonderful idea, Twilight, but it really is a shame this place came empty, we could've spread friendship even farther if we did meet them." Princess Celestia replied, "Well, I mean, that Phoenix Wright guy did come here before many years ago, maybe he told the empire about us." Sunburst reminded, "I'm still sad he's gone." Twilight Sparkle lamented, "Me too, he saved me from going to jail." Rainbow Dash added, "I was hoping we could catch up." Pinkie Pie said with tears in her eyes, "We all did, Pinkie, come on, everybody, let's put everything back and leave this place be." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they did. The world's natives wrote books and made artwork of the abandoned place and waited until its wormhole device activated again and teleported it, "I hope those it had relationships with will honor it." Twilight Sparkle stated, "I'm sure they will, Twilight, it looked like a magnificent empire with much influence, I don't think it will ever be forgotten through time." Princess Celestia replied, Twilight Sparkle looked on and smiled. The land returned back to Earth and the creatures from other realms and dimensions paid their respects to it and also moved in to take care of the place and make sure nature did not overtake it, Volvox's and Euglena's empire remained standing tall for years to come and was never forgotten throughout history.
TyrantVolvox controlled the humans with an iron fist, they served under him as slaves, while he had demons and monsters work them to death with manual labor, and kill those who did not obey him or questioned his rule. Volvox only had Dommiel, Bael, Andras, Flauros, Belial, Seere, Lucifer, Satan, Asmodeus, Leviathan, Mammon, Beelzebub, Belphegor, Judas, and Giovi left as his commanders, the monsters he had left were Cerberus, Orthrus, the Bunyip, one Wendigo, five Tanukis, the Basilisk, Azhi Dahaka, Nuckelavee, the Hound of Baskervilles, the Mongolian Death Worm, the Stymphalian Birds, and the Bake-kujira, and his two pets, Phoenix and Thunderbird, his military used to have many more people and monsters, but they angered Volvox, and he killed them at those moments. Volvox lived in a black fortress with his commanders, he had a big gray stone wall and ceiling built around his kingdom, not only to protect his kingdom from attackers, but also to make sure no human gets out, he had a roof built on the wall as well, the sun and moon were blocked out. A moat surrounded the kingdom on the inside, it was filled sharp objects that were rusty, and had tar in it instead of water, the Bunyip swam in there, Volvox would sometimes throw people in there for it to eat, he would watch them struggle to get out for his own amusement, until the Bunyip ate them, but if someone did make it out, he would kill that person personally. One thing that Volvox kept to make the humans remind him of his powers were spears all around his fortress with humans impaled on them, and brown wooden crosses with humans crucified on them, he also had dead humans in his moat of tar. Tom was the leader of the humans before he was killed by Volvox, who he had hanged, drawn, and quartered. The Count of Saint Germain teleported out of the area and left to go find help, hoping there were more humans out there to help aid them. It is believed the humans were extinct outside of Volvox's kingdom, since it was all barren and desert. The other deities noticed Volvox's tyrannical rule and were trying to destroy the wall and roof around his kingdom, Zeus and Odin led the troops, Ares and Thor also decided to fight Volvox directly, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were fighting him directly as well. The deities were not the only ones trying to overthrow Volvox, Talos and the Laestrygonians were trying to take him down as well, so was Goatman, Spring-Heeled Jack was fighting Volvox as well, the humans tried to overthrow him, but he proven himself to be too powerful for the humans to fight, so the deities and other creatures of the world stepped in to help them. Volvox was walking around in his throne room while looking out to his kingdom, one of his demons comes in, "Emperor Volvox, the Count of Saint Germain escaped." the demon said, "What? He got out again?!" Volvox asked, "Please, emperor, you must understand, he can teleport in and out of the country at will." the demon replied, "It matters not, you let him escape, you fool, you will die for your incompetence." Volvox said, "Wait, emperor." the demon said, Volvox shot yellow beams out of the eyes of his center head and hit the demon, he screamed as he was obliterated. Another demon comes in, two more come in while holding a human hostage, "Emperor Volvox, we have captured Santa Claus." the demon in the front said, Volvox looked at him, "Volvox, you've been a naughty boy." Santa Claus said, "Naughty? You didn't get me the bicycle I wanted when I was four years old." Volvox replied, "What? Volvox." Dommiel said from the right side of Volvox's throne, "What?" Volvox asked, "That was fourteen billion nine hundred ninety nine million nine hundred ninety nine thousand nine hundred ninety six years ago." Dommiel replied, "So?" Volvox asked, "Santa Claus wasn't born yet." Dommiel said, "It doesn't matter, I wanted a bicycle, and I didn't get one, send him to Giovi to be tortured." Volvox replied, Santa Claus screamed in horror while he was taken away. The humans were trying to find a way to get out of Volvox's kingdom, they were anorexic, and starving, most humans died in less than three days, they had to do extremely heavy manual labor, they were not given any food or water, but Volvox did not just have men and women working, he had children working, too, and animals, especially cats and dogs, he was having them build statues of himself to make them remind them that he is their ruler, but Volvox did not consider himself an emperor, he considered himself a god. The humans find a spell that they hope will set them free, they wait until the demons fall asleep, all they had were dim flames to see what was around them. The humans gather around a spellbook a human took from Volvox's quarters while he was in his throne room, they find a spell that could teleport them out of the area, they gather around in a circle, hold hands, and chant. The ground shakes and the demons and Volvox come out and look around, they hear a loud thud, the humans look around and scream, "No! It didn't work!" a man said, Volvox snickers, "Thought you could leave that easily? Think again." Volvox said, and the humans scream in terror, "What shall we do with them?" Leviathan asked, "They can wait, I heard a thud, let's see if we're anywhere new." Volvox replied, and he uses his magic to project a screen to see if they were anywhere new, they were, he sees ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs looking at the giant wall that surrounded his kingdom, they were curious, some creatures flew up to see what was in the wall, but only saw a roof, everybody was curious on what was inside, "What do ya think is in there, Twilight?" Applejack asked, "I don't know, but I hope there's something friendly in there." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Me too, I just hope it's not a giant monster." Fluttershy said, "It must be huge if that wall and roof is that big." Rarity said, "Well, there's only one way to find out, Pinkie Pie's already heading there." Rainbow Dash replied, Pinkie Pie goes to the wall surrounding Volvox's kingdom, "Hey! Hello?" Pinkie Pie asked with a smile, the humans banged and scratched the walls, begging for help, but no one outside could hear them, Volvox and the demons smiled at their struggle, "Give up, she can't hear you." Asmodeus said, "Hello? Is anyone in there? I brought party materials." Pinkie Pie said, the humans keep begging and scratching on the walls, they could not get through, "Oh well, I'll try again tomorrow." Pinkie Pie said, and she left, the humans begged and cried for her to come back, Volvox just smiled at their struggles, "Find out who took my spellbook, and bring him to me when you all do." Volvox said, and he went back into his fortress. Volvox sat in his throne and called for three females to keep him company, they were the three Gorgons, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa, each one had snakes for their hair, Stheno had red snakes, Euryale had blue snakes, and Medusa had yellow snakes, while the three can turn people into stones with their eyes', Volvox was immune to it. The three sisters had to please Volvox with music and dancing, they were reluctant to do it, especially Medusa, "I'd like a dance today." Volvox said, "Again? I'm tired of this." Medusa said, "Sis, we must, if we want to live." Stheno replied, "Yes, the gods are trying their best, we have to keep this up until he is destroyed." Euryale said, "*sigh* fine." Medusa replied, and the three dance for Volvox, the Gorgons were happy that Volvox did not make them wear specific outfits, because he did not care about such things, the three had human arms and heads, but the rest of their bodies were that of snakes, Stheno's body was red, Euryale's body was blue, and Medusa's body was yellow, each one had orange-brown irises and cat-like pupils, their heads were a pale color. The three Gorgons slither around to please Volvox, they were praying to escape his rule, because he was not their only enemy, they were also enemies with Athena and Poseidon, they were planning to deal with them after they escape Volvox's rule. Volvox kept them to entertain himself when he had nothing to do, he had no intention of marrying one, "Why don't you marry one of them, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "No, that will only make me more vulnerable." Volvox replied, "What do you mean?" Dommiel asked, "A common mistake human rulers made was falling in love with someone of the opposite gender, that person caused their downfall through manipulation, many of them done bad things to impress them, that is why I am never marrying or falling in love with a female." Volvox replied, "Ugh, you don't need a woman to love you to overthrow you." Euryale said, "Euryale, careful, Volvox will kill you if he hears you insult his appearance." Stheno replied, "I'm not talking about his appearance, I'm talking about his character." Euryale said, "I don't understand that, either, how does he not see the harm he has caused?" Medusa asked, Volvox did not see himself as a tyrant, he thought himself as a genuine benevolent ruler, he ruled humans the way he did because he saw them as inferior beings due to them not having the powers of other creatures and deities, and were a plague, therefore, they had to be ruled with an iron fist as punishment for being inferior beings. The next day comes and Volvox sees the Mane Six go to the wall around his kingdom, there was no door or gate on it, "Excuse me, I'd like to speak with whoever's in there." Twilight Sparkle said, there was no response, "Helloooooo? Is anyone in there?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Um, can any animal hear me?" Fluttershy asked, Rainbow Dash flies around looking for any cracks to look through, she flies to them, "There's not a single crack or space to look through, I can't see anything." Rainbow Dash said, "This is getting ridiculous, let's try opening it up." Rarity replied, and she tried using telekinesis to move a block, she grunted, it would not come out, she stopped and panted, "Let me try." Applejack said, and she ran to it, she tried to push the same block inwards in hopes that it would come out and they could see through, but it did not budge, "That thing is stuck in there, Ah can't move it a millimeter." Applejack said, "Then how are we supposed to know what's inside?" Rarity asked, "Stand aside, my little ponies, I'm going to try blasting it with the sun." Princess Celestia said, and the Mane Six run out of the blast zone. Princess Celestia fires a blast of fire from the sun at the wall and roof surrounding Volvox's kingdom, it did not damage it, "Let me try." Princess Luna said, and she fired blue lightning from her horn, it did nothing to the wall and roof, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor walk to it, "What do you think is in there?" Princess Cadence asked, "I don't know, hopefully, not a monster." Shining Armor replied, "Ah hope not, either, if there is one, it must be a mighty huge one." Applejack said, "I thought about that, too, this is the biggest structure this world has ever seen." Twilight Sparkle replied, "It is scaring my animals, plus, it also blocks out the sun in the morning." Fluttershy said, Volvox's kingdom was northeast of Canterlot, it blocked out the sun during most of the morning, Princess Luna's moon was blocked out early in the evening as well, "Well, let's try teleporting inside." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she casts a spell to teleport into the kingdom, she and her friends enter, but Volvox had the demons put the flames out so it would be pitch black, and they were teleported out by a magic barrier in Volvox's kingdom, "Did you guys find anything?" Princess Cadence asked, "No, we can't see a thing in there." Applejack replied, "Yeah, it's completely pitch black, we didn't hear anything, either." Rainbow Dash said, "Did you all teleport out on your own?" Princess Luna asked, "No, I think, whatever's in there, it's got some kind of spell casted in there to force us out." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I still wanna see what's in there." Pinkie Pie said, "We all do, Pinkie Pie." Applejack replied, "Well, there's nothing we can do now, we'll come back another time." Princess Celestia said, and they left, Spike went over shortly afterwards, "Here goes nothing." Spike said, and he burps, the green fire he produces did not do anything, "I didn't think so." Spike said, and he walked away. The demons reignite the flames and the humans continue doing manual labor, some were dropping dead from exhaustion, the kingdom was now filled with dead bodies, a demon went to Volvox to ask him what to do, he got on his knees, "Emperor Volvox, the kingdom is filled with corpses." the demon said, "Crucify them." Volvox replied, "We don't have anymore." the demon said, "Then impale them with the spears." Volvox replied, "We used them up." the demon said, "Then why aren't you using the furnace to burn the bodies?" Volvox asked, "Don't you remember? You destroyed it when you killed Bigfoot." the demon replied, Volvox has a flashback. Volvox and Bigfoot were outside and arguing, "This is not what I signed up for, I never signed up to enslave and kill humans." Bigfoot said, "They are a plague, you will help me get rid of them." Volvox replied, "No, Volvox, I think you're the plague." Bigfoot said, Volvox's chord was struck, he was enraged at what Bigfoot just said, and did not call him by his title, "You say I'm a plague?! Then you can join the humans!" Volvox replied angrily, and he used his telekinesis to throw Bigfoot into the area with the furnace, Bigfoot screamed when he fell onto them, Volvox then shot three big orange and white blasts out of his mouths, one from each head, Bigfoot was obliterated, so was the furnace. Volvox was angry remembering the memory, "He would still be alive if he didn't provoke me like that, all of those demons and monsters I killed would be as well!" Volvox said angrily, he then used his telekinesis on the demon, he exclaimed, "As for you, you made me remember a painful memory, you will pay with your life!" Volvox said, and shot beams out of his six eyes', the demon screamed as he was killed, Volvox then contacted his demons and monsters telepathically, "All of you, stand back, I'm going to burn the bodies." Volvox said, and he ends the contact, he floats up in midair and shoots hellfire out of his front feet, it was a lot stronger than regular fire, it burns the corpses. The humans begin coughing from the smoke, it stank, and they were dying of smoke inhalation, "There, that will get rid of those humans for good." Volvox said while smiling, "Wait, there's a problem in your plans." Dommiel replied, "What would that be?" Volvox asked, "There won't be anyone to build your statues, you have to put the smoke outside." Dommiel replied, Volvox realized Dommiel was right, he groaned with disappointment and made small spaces appear in the walls and roof around his kingdom, sending the smoke out. The world's natives sees the smoke and it spreads throughout the land, "Ooh, maybe they're cooking some marshmallows." Pinkie Pie said, "Marshmallows would be nice to have right now." Starlight Glimmer replied, the black smoke spreads and everybody smells it, they cough and gag, some cover their noses, "Definitely not marshmallows." Pinkie Pie said, "I recognize that smell anywhere, it's burning flesh!" Princess Ember said while she covered her nose with her right hand, the other creatures scream in horror, Princess Celestia looks at the wall with suspicion. Volvox snickers while the natives of the world cough and gag from the stench of the smoke. The Count of Saint Germain travels through time in hopes of finding a time when humans were not influenced by Volvox, he sees that Volvox has been around since the Hadean Eon, he resided in the core of the Earth, and was created by an unseen universal figure called the Maker. The Count of Saint Germain continue traveling through time and sees Volvox was the apex predator during the times of the trilobite and dinosaurs, he noticed that Volvox made the world the way it is with his powers, he sees Volvox was at the peak of his power during the dinosaur age. The Count of Saint Germain sees Volvox had a society already, it consisted of dinosaurs and dragons, he was the emperor, the king was a wyvern, and the prince was a spinosaurus, and his rule was the same, he was a tyrant, and killed his own people over the slightest offenses. The Count of Saint Germain sees Volvox grow bored with the dinosaurs and dragons, so he uses his powers to change the world and make them extinct, he made the Ice Age happen as well. The Count of Saint Germain continues running through portals he has created in hopes of finding other humans available for help, "Wait, what's this?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, he saw Volvox arguing, he saw gods as well, there were three groups of gods, the Egyptian gods, the Greek gods, and the Norse gods, he was mainly arguing with Ra, Zeus, and Odin, "What do you mean I have to share?!" Volvox asked angrily, "It is the orders of the Maker, it wants us to add new creatures to this world." Zeus replied, "No! I was here first! This is my world to shape!" Volvox said angrily, "Your time has passed, Volvox, it's our turn." Odin replied, "When did the Maker decide this?!" Volvox asked angrily, "When you killed your own people." Ra replied, "What?! They were against my rule!" Volvox said angrily, "Your rule? You were having them fight to the death for your own entertainment." Odin replied, "Only the smartest and strongest deserve to be in my kingdom." Volvox said, "What about all of those other creatures who are not dragon or dinosaur?" Zeus asked, "They're game to me, my people can eat them." Volvox replied, "Well, now that they're gone, the Maker wants you to share the planet with us." Ra said, "No! This planet is mine! Find your own!" Volvox replied angrily, "Actually, you have no choice, Volvox, the Maker will destroy you if you refuse." Zeus said, Volvox growled and reluctantly let them control the earth. The gods create the humans, angels, and other creatures that inhabit Earth, Volvox created demons and monsters, he watched and realized that humans were evolving, and were rising to the top of the food chain, Volvox realized he might actually lose his status as the apex species on the planet, but discovered something, his mind control works on them. The Count of Saint Germain travels through time and sees humanity fighting in wars, and causing destruction to Earth because Volvox was mind controlling them, he sees Volvox mind controlled the humans to have Jesus crucified, he also saw Volvox mind control Ivan the Terrible to make him kill his own son. The Mongolian Empire and British Empire developed because of Volvox's mind control. Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini did the things they did during World War II because they were under Volvox's mind control, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was also Volvox's doing, he also made 9/11 happen by controlling the planes with his telekinesis, and every bad thing humanity has done in the time of their existence was because of him. The Count of Saint Germain keeps traveling through time and sees himself achieving time travel from an experiment-gone-wrong, and when he achieved immortality by creating and drinking the Elixir of Life. The Count of Saint Germain arrives into the future and sees every god was dead, Volvox has won against them, and the humans were extinct, Volvox ruled the Earth once again, and created the planet and creatures as he saw fit, the planet was still under his tyrannical rule, and he was enjoying what he was doing, he was laughing as well. The Count of Saint Germain went back in time in hopes of finding any civilization to help him. The next day comes and Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream were at the wall, "Uh, we'd like to share our cultures." Ocellus said, there was no response, "Hello? Is anybody interested?" Silverstream asked, "Yona want conversation with people!" Yona said, "I doubt they're going to answer, our teachers had no luck." Smolder replied, "If you guys are curious, we have a lot of things to teach." Gallus said, "It's not working, guys, we should head back." Sandbar said, "WE HAVE A LOT OF FOOD, ART, MUSIC, AND FASHION TO SHARE!!" Silverstream yelled, hoping someone would hear her on the other side of the wall, but there was no response, causing her to frown, "Come on, guys, let's go." Sandbar said, and the six leave while the humans beg for them to come back, Volvox was having Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa dance for him, the three were sympathetic of the humans. The Wendigo, the Basilisk, and the Hound of Baskervilles were hungry, so they looked for the tallest humans and began eating them, they screamed in the process, the people on the outside could not hear them, the family members of the victims cried. A few hours pass and Big Macintosh goes to the wall with a carriage on him, Sugar Belle was on it with pies, "I've brought baked goodies." Sugar Belle said in a singsong voice, the humans try to force their way out to get help, but to no avail, "Do you hear anything, Big Mac?" Sugar Belle asked, "Eenope." Big Macintosh replied, and the two wait. The humans desperately try to get out, they could not, the demons and monsters smiled as they watched the humans struggle, the two walked away after some time and the humans begin begging for them to come back, while others cried. Volvox forced the humans to continue building statues of himself and some humans begin dying from exhaustion, the five Tanukis watch with sympathy at the struggling humans, they decided to go see Volvox. The natives of the world continue looking at the wall and ceiling around Volvox's kingdom, oblivious to what was inside, but they were curious, "What do you think is in there?" Scootaloo asked, "Ah don't know, but it probably ain't good." Apple Bloom replied, "Considering yesterday, that smoke smelled horrible." Sweetie Belle said, "Hold on, something's appearing outside that thing." Scootaloo replied, they all see a magic portal open and Talos walked out, surprising the natives. Talos walked to the wall and began attacking it with his sword, it did no damage. The tar from inside comes out due to Volvox using his magic, hoping it would make Talos stuck, "Wait, what is that?" Apple Bloom asked, "It looks like tar." Sweetie Belle replied, the natives watch nervously. Talos stepped carefully as he watched the tar, he hears cries for help, he looks to his right and sees four Tanukis in the tar, which Volvox put in. Talos sheathed his sword and walked to the Tanukis, he bent down to reach them and pull them out, but the Bunyip jumped out of the tar to attack Talos, it tried to bite him, roaring in the process, Talos grabbed its front legs and they wrestle one another. Fluttershy hears the Tanukis and flies over to them, they were trying to shapeshift, but could not. Silverstream gasps when she sees them, she flies over to them and changes into a seapony in hopes of getting them out, but she got stuck in the tar when she entered, she screamed as she tried to fight her way out, "HELP!!" Silverstream screamed, "Silverstream?" Twilight Sparkle asked, and she and her five friends go over to where they heard her, the rest of the Young Six go as well. The eleven arrive and see her in the tar, they gasp and exclaim when they see the Tanukis as well. The eleven quickly work together to get them out, Applejack wrapped her lasso around Silverstream to get her out while her five friends and Pinkie Pie pulled, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Rarity worked together to get the Tanukis, Twilight Sparkle and Rarity used telekinesis while Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy tried to pull them out with their front hooves. Talos wrestles with the Bunyip while he watched the world's natives rescue their friend and the Tanukis, the Bunyip notices the Tanukis being pulled out, it roars and goes towards them with the intentions of eating them, but light green and pink flames hit it in the face, it screeches, Spike and Princess Ember arrived to help, and they help by trying to pull the Tanukis out. Talos takes his sword out and stabs the Bunyip in the back of its neck, it screeches and dies, he puts it aside and reaches down to take the Tanukis out, he then reached for Silverstream and pulled her out, she changed back to her hippogriff form, "Is everyone okay?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Silverstream panted and she turned around, "Thank you." Silverstream said to Talos, he then turned around and focused on trying to get into Volvox's kingdom. The Tanukis look around desperately for their youngest family member, it was not put in the tar with the other four, they become horrified when they see the fifth member on the ground. The four Tanukis run to their youngest family member and discover it was dead, killed by Volvox, the mother Tanuki begins to cry over her youngest child's dead body, the Mane Six and Young Six look on with shock and sympathy, Fluttershy was crying as well, "Y'all, I think we can all say, somethin' ain't right in there." Applejack said, as she and the others look at the wall. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, Queen Novo, and Princess Skystar go to the wall surrounding Volvox's kingdom, "Come out this instant! You all have explaining to do!" Princess Luna said angrily, there was no response, Volvox just watched with a magical screen, "Open up! We need to talk!" Princess Ember said angrily, there was no response, Princess Ember began to growl, "You can't ignore us forever! We'll get you to come out, one way or another!" Grampa Gruff said, "Yak being ignored? Yak declare war!" Prince Rutherford said, "Dragons declare war as well!" Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Guys, wait, maybe there's a reason why we're not getting answers." King Thorax said, "What would that be?" Princess Skystar asked, "Maybe the people on the other side can't hear us." King Thorax replied, "That would make sense, I mean, the others who came didn't get a response, either." Queen Novo said, "We don't even know if there's anyone in there or not." Shining Armor replied, "I think someone is in there, I don't think that tar and those creatures came out on their own." Grampa Gruff said, "I think so, too, but I don't know what could have done it." Princess Cadence replied, "We're still not getting a response, hold on, I'm going to try to have Discord enter." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away, she returned a few minutes later with Discord, "Oh, so this is where I have to enter, time for old Discord to work his magic." Discord said, and he tries to teleport in, but was forced out, "What the? Something in there forced me out." Discord said, and he tried to use his magic to make the wall and roof around Volvox's kingdom alive so they would move around and reveal what was inside, but his magic did not work, "What the? My magic doesn't work on it." Discord said with shock, the world's natives were shocked as well, "Let's go, it's no use, everycreature, not even Discord can get through." Princess Celestia said, and they all left, Princess Ember and Grampa Gruff were grumbling. Pinkie Pie ran to the wall and banged on it with both of her front hooves, "Open up!" Pinkie Pie said angrily, there was no response, Pinkie Pie growled and began punching her front hooves into the ground, she goes around the wall in hopes of finding an opening, she goes around the wall as well, it was wide, everybody watches her with surprise. Pinkie Pie punched all the way down to the bedrock and finished, she panted and sweated while everybody looked on, they see the wall and went underground as well, it was on the bedrock, "OH, COME ON!!" Pinkie Pie said, the world's natives were shocked to see how deep the wall went into the ground. Volvox uses his magic to fix the ground around the wall, Pinkie Pie growled, "OPEN THE WALL!! I WANT TO SEE PARTY!!" Pinkie Pie yelled, and she banged her snout on the wall multiple times, a few minutes later, they heard a crack, Pinkie Pie screamed and realized she has broken her own snout, "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow." Pinkie Pie said as she turned around and held onto her bleeding snout, her five friends run to her while Volvox and Dommiel chuckled, "Stupid girl." Dommiel said, "You okay, Pinkie Pie?" Rainbow Dash asked, Maud Pie ran to her to check on her as well, "It's alright, Pinkie, let me see." Maud Pie said, and she checks Pinkie Pie's snout, "It's not too bad, it'll heal after about a week or two." Maud Pie said, "But it really hurts." Pinkie Pie replied, "Don't worry, Pinkie Pie, I have a spell to make the pain go away." Twilight Sparkle said, "Thank you, you all are the best friends ever!" Pinkie Pie replied loudly, and hugged all of them, the humans complained about her, and they left. Volvox was busy listening to Santa Claus scream while Giovi tortured him, he was cutting him with the blades that replaced his claws, Volvox was smiling and enjoying the screams. Volvox hears walking and sees Orthrus walking in, "What do you want, Orthrus?" Volvox asked, annoyed that he interrupted his fun, Orthrus rubbed his stomach with his two heads, indicating he was hungry, "You interrupted my fun time just to ask for food?!" Volvox asked angrily, Orthrus whimpered in fear, Volvox stood up and used his telekinesis on Orthrus, he snaps both of his necks and kills him, Cerberus hears his younger brother and looked at the fortress with worry. Volvox uses his telekinesis to throw Orthrus' body out of the kingdom, through the roof, Cerberus sees him and quickly runs and jumps out through the hole before Volvox could repair it. Cerberus arrives outside and runs to Orthrus' body, he saw he was dead, he howled in grief at his brother's corpse, the world's natives see him, some were crying, they were really starting to worry what was going on inside the wall. The Count of Saint Germain continues traveling through time and accidentally finds the location of Volvox's kingdom, "Hold on a little longer, I promise I'll find help." the Count of Saint Germain said, he looked and saw Talos, he wondered if the gods opened a portal for him to enter that world. He continues his journey and sees something that catches his mind in the modern day of his world, he noticed that even extraterrestrials and beings from other realms and dimensions were trying to take Volvox down, the Count of Saint Germain also saw a sign, "To any human who escaped from Volvox's kingdom, we offer sanctuary at the palace, we have food, water, shelter, and fire, and the angels, extraterrestrials, extra-dimensionals, and gods will protect you." the sign read, the Count of Saint Germain recognized the place, he went to the palace. The palace was filled with anorexic and sick humans, the gods present there were Odin, Frigg, Váli, Víðarr, Baldr, Thor, Sif, Ullr, Þrúðr, Dellingr, Nótt, Forseti, Hermóðr, Lóðurr, Týr, Eir, Iðunn, Lofn, Sjöfn, Freyja, Zeus, Hestia, Hera, Poseidon, Amphitrite, Hades, Persephone, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Demeter, Dionysus, Hephaestus, Hermes, Amun, Amunet, Mehit, Atum, Horus, Montu, Neper, Nepit, Ra, Ptah, Thoth, Ma'at, Bast, Hathor, Heket, Hesat, Mut, Renenūtet, Tefnut, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Bishamonten. There were many angels there as well, but the Count of Saint Germain only recognized Michael, he ignored them and walked to the people. There were many different species', the angels see him and they inform the others, Odin, Zeus, and Ra go to him, "Who are you?" Zeus asked, "I'm the Count of Saint Germain, I'm a time traveler, I'm looking for help against Volvox." the Count of Saint Germain replied, the three gods become surprised, they go back to inform the others, a group of military humans go to him, "You've come to the right place, lead us to him." the leader of the unit said, "Wait, what about the gods, why can't they come?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "There's too many humans to take care of, they can't leave them be." a man in the unit replied, "We're also waiting for Talos to return, he hasn't come back yet." another man said, "I saw him, he's at Volvox's kingdom, we must hurry." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Agreed, lead the way." the leader of the unit said, and he follows the Count of Saint Germain. Volvox was having Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa dancing for him again, the three were shocked and disgusted that he killed Orthrus for just asking for food. The three finish and Volvox was not pleased this time, "I didn't like your dances this time." Volvox said, "We apologize, Emperor Volvox, we'll try better next time." Stheno replied, "GOD Volvox!" Volvox said angrily, scaring the three with his booming voice, "You are no god, you're a bad ruler." Euryale said, "I'm the bad ruler? Those humans are a plague, I'm saving the world by destroying their kind." Volvox replied, "Then why do you have them building statues of yourself?" Medusa asked, "To let them know who's superior, they are the only species of developed creatures that cannot use magic or have any powers, therefore, they are inferior." Volvox replied, "The dinosaurs of your kingdom didn't have any powers, either!" Medusa said angrily, "That was a different story! They were prototypes of what I was going to create, those humans are not!" Volvox replied angrily, Medusa was getting angry, "That's it, I can't do this anymore, I quit." Medusa said, Volvox used telekinesis on her while her two sister exclaim in horror, "Then I no longer have any use of you." Volvox said, and he uses his telekinesis to rip her head off and kill her, she screamed in the process, Volvox then threw her body outside of his fortress, Stheno and Euryale quickly slither outside and see their youngest sister's dead body, the two cradle it and cry, the humans watch with horror, but the demons hit them to force them back to working. Dommiel became angry at Volvox, "Volvox! They were never a threat to begin with!" Dommiel said angrily, "You dare question me?!" Volvox asked, "This has gone on long enough, you can't just kill whoever displeases you!" Dommiel replied angrily, "My kingdom, my rules!" Volvox said, "Then I quit!" Dommiel replied angrily, the others hear him, Volvox shot beams out of his six eyes, black beams from his right head, red beams from his left head, and yellow beams from his center head, they burn Dommiel and he screams, Volvox uses his telekinesis to throw him outside after he was dead, "To all of you monsters and demons! I will personally kill whoever tries to quit or question my authority!" Volvox said, and the monsters and demons serve under him with fear. The Mane Six, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike were with Cerberus and the Tanukis, they were at Fluttershy's cottage, they were still grieving, "Have ya gotten anythin' out of 'em, Fluttershy?" Applejack asked, "No, I can't understand what they're saying." Fluttershy replied, "I mean, they did just lose someone they liked, so of course they'll be hard to understand." Spike said, "No, what I mean is I don't understand their language." Fluttershy replied, "Can you all at least try to show us what you're trying to tell us?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Cerberus and the Tanukis lead them. They arrive at the wall again and the Tanukis and Cerberus direct their attention to the tar, "Wait, is something in there?" Rarity asked, the five creatures nod, Talos sees them and takes a break from trying to break the wall down, he walks to them, reaches into the tar with his right hand, and pulls out a human skeleton, the world's natives scream at seeing it, "Just what is going on in there?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Hold on, I'll see if I can remove all of this tar." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she casts a spell, the tar disappears, they gasp and exclaim in horror when they see human skeletons were everywhere in it. Princess Celestia flew to them and landed, "I was always suspicious something bad was going on in there, this more than confirms it, we have to break the wall down." Princess Celestia said, "But how? Not even Discord can get in there." Rainbow Dash replied, "I'm thinking about that now, let's go, I'll let you know if I come up with anything." Princess Celestia replied, and they all leave. Several hours pass and another portal opens in front of the wall, everybody sees the Count of Saint Germain and the military unit come out, surprising the natives, "He's here, I hope I'm not too late." the Count of Saint Germain said, "This is the area? Okay, we're going to blast the wall with explosives, stand back." the leader of the unit said, and he and his unit lay dynamite everywhere on it, they worked together to put it on the roof and underground as well, they all stand back, Talos walked away from the wall, "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, detonate." the leader of the unit said, and another soldier pushes a switch down with his hands. The dynamites explode and destroy the wall and roof, the smoke clears and it revealed a second layer underneath, the world's natives become irritated, "Oh, come on!" Rainbow Dash said in an exasperated tone, "Okay, we're going to try the same thing." the leader of the unit said, and they lay more dynamite and blow it up, the smoke clears and the second wall was undamaged, shocking the world's natives, "Nope, this one's stronger than the first layer." the leader of the unit said, the Count of Saint Germain was worried. Everybody hears cries of help on the inside, the military unit hears them as well, "Thank goodness, I made it on time." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Let's see if there's an opening anywhere." the leader of the unit replied, and they check, they see a very narrow at the bottom in the front, on the left side, "I can fit through there." a male soldier said, "Alright then, get your camera, let's see what this man says is true." the leader of the unit replied, and he puts a head camera on the soldier, and he goes in. The soldier crawls through with the camera recording, the military unit watched with a big screen, the world's natives watched as well, curious about what was inside, the moat was empty, but skeletons and sharp objects were still inside. The soldier climbs up out of the trench and looks at what was inside, the world's natives exclaim and scream in horror when they see the impaled and crucified humans, there were dead bodies everywhere, they also see humans working for demons as slaves, they were sick and anorexic, some died while working as well, so did the animals, the area was filled with monsters as well, "No way, the man's tale is true." a soldier on the outside said, "Wait, look up there." another soldier replied, they watch the screen and see Volvox standing on top of his fortress, "Argh! Emperor Volvox!" the soldier said in terror, Volvox shoots an orange and white blast from his center head, it hits the human and he screams in pain as he was killed, orange light shone outside a little as well, Volvox then uses his powers to fix the hole. The unit's radio goes off, "We saw the screen, permission to engage in combat granted, sending reinforcements and heavy weaponry now!" the man on the radio said, and it goes off. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs head over to Volvox's kingdom and start attacking the wall, the unicorns and changelings shoot spells out of their horns', Pegasi and earth ponies were trying to remove the bricks, the dragons breathed fire and tried to use their claws to remove the bricks, the griffons tried to use their talons to remove the bricks, they also tried pecking their way through with their beaks, the yaks charged into the wall in hopes cracking it, several other changelings changed into the world's native creatures to attack the wall, and the hippogriffs tried to pull the bricks out with their talons. The humans wait for their reinforcements while Talos was trying to pry the bricks out with his sword, "Nothing's working!" Twilight Sparkle said, "We can't give up! There are lives at stake in there!" Princess Celestia replied while she tried to use her magic to destroy the wall. Portals open and more soldiers and tanks come out, the tanks begin shooting at the wall in hopes of destroying it, they were not working. The Tanukis and Cerberus went over to help break the wall down, they were not making any progress either, "We ain't gettin' anywhere, the wall has no damage to it." Applejack said, "Keep trying, Applejack, we have to help them!" Princess Cadence replied, all of the creatures continue trying to break the wall down. The environment behind the humans change and it closely resembled Earth, they see movement in the water, the Laestrygonians come to the surface while growling and roaring, surprising the world's natives, they attack the wall and try to break it apart with Talos, they hear more movement and they see Poseidon come with his trident, Amphitrite was with him as well, they attack the wall as well. The ground bursts open and Hades arrives with Persephone, Osiris and Anubis have come to help as well. The sky gets cloudy and two lightning strikes hit the wall, everybody saw Zeus and Thor combining their thunders together to make powerful strikes, four horses come as well, everybody saw the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have arrived to help, they were skeletal and wore black cloaks, while the White Horseman had a crown on his head, Michael leads angels to the wall and they all throw yellow spears of light at the roof, Odin soon joined while riding on Sleipnir. The plants form together and everybody became surprised, they form a being as big as the wall around Volvox's kingdom, the being had red eyes. Volvox was watching through a magical screen and he stood up with shock, "What?! Swamp Thing?! I killed you!" Volvox said, unable to believe he has returned. Swamp Thing begins putting its plants and vines into the spaces between the bricks, Ares soon arrives and begins attacking with his sword and shield. Star Swirl the Bearded runs to them, "I'm here!" Star Swirl the Bearded said, "Good, Twilight, we're going to need your help." Princess Celestia said, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Twilight Sparkle, Flurry Heart, and Star Swirl the Bearded cast a spell together, they hit the wall and the whole thing explodes, "Okay, it's down, let's go." Twilight Sparkle said, and everybody enters Volvox's kingdom. Everybody flies and marches into Volvox's kingdom while the humans cover their eyes' and look away from the bright sun. A black shadow forms on the bridge and the Hound of Baskervilles appears, it growls and snarls at them, Cerberus runs to it and the two fight. Cerberus had the upper hand for the time until the Hound of Baskervilles disappeared and reappeared behind Cerberus, it bites him and he roars, Winona runs to the Hounds of Baskervilles and jumps onto it to distract it. The Hound of Baskervilles moves around in hopes of getting Winona off, but Twilight Sparkle casts a spell and dispels the creature, everybody continues inwards. Volvox's demons charge forward while the angels and Michael enter the battle, the humans use their guns to shoot the demons. Seere appears and goes over to fight, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse ride to him, but Seere hits them away with his spear, the Four Horsemen disappeared and reappeared, so did Seere, he was able to appear anywhere, and appeared in a few seconds, "Ignore the creatures for now, take out that guy on the winged horse." Shining Armor said as he led the royal guards, they could not get him due to him appearing and disappearing everywhere, the changelings tried to shoot him with their beams, they all missed, the unicorns all cast telekinesis everywhere and eventually get ahold of Seere, the Pale Horseman decapitates him with his scythe. The Stymphalian Birds dive down and attack the humans, they scream in pain as the world's natives realize they had beaks as sharp as blades, they also launched their feathers at the angels. The Pegasi, Wonderbolts, dragons, griffons, and hippogriffs try to restrain them from behind, Zeus and Thor use their lightning powers on them, it did nothing. Fluttershy commands the world's animals to fight the birds, she also tried to reason with them, but they did not listen, and shot their feathers at her. The White Horseman aimed his bow at the birds and shot down several, another portal opened and Artemis came out, she shot down several as well, magic was not working on them, they were soon turned into meat. Everybody was confused until they saw Discord, "Discord, you're here." Twilight Sparkle said, "Of course I am, I couldn't bear to watch my friends get hurt." Discord replied, the world's natives smiled. Screeching was heard and they saw Phoenix coming, he opens his mouth and breathes fire, "Get down!" the leader of the unit said, and they all do, the fire passes them. The dragons get ready to fly up and fight it, but something attacks Phoenix from his right, they struggle and everybody sees it was Philomena, surprising everybody. The two phoenixes fight while in the air, they were able to tell who was who, since Philomena only had red and orange feathers, while Phoenix was literally made out of fire. Phoenix breathes fire out of his mouth and it did nothing to Philomena, she tries to attack Phoenix with her talons while screeching, Princess Celestia watched with worry. Philomena gets electrocuted and screeches, the world's natives were very shocked, they all look and saw blue electricity, it comes forward and they all saw Thunderbird flying into the battle, "Is that... a thunderbird?" Applejack asked, "I've never seen one before." Twilight Sparkle said, Philomena was deeply hurt and falling, "No!" Rainbow Dash said as she flew to her and brought her to safety, "Everybody, step aside." Poseidon said, and they all do, he and Amphitrite use their powers to shoot water at the two birds, but the water near Phoenix evaporated, and Thunderbird absorbed it, making his lightning powers stronger, "We're going in." Princess Celestia said, the ponies were shocked, "But, Princess Celestia..." Twilight Sparkle said, "Go on without us, we'll deal with the birds, let's go, sister." Princess Celestia said, and she and Princess Luna fly to them, Princess Celestia went to fight Thunderbird, while Princess Luna went to go fight Phoenix. More portals open and Goatman and Spring-Heeled Jack came out, the two arrived to help, they go forward and see more demons, they all fight while the humans go past them to rescue the humans under Volvox's rule, Víðarr entered the battle shortly afterwards, with the anger of the deceased and their loved ones fueling his powers. Everybody divided into groups, the ground bursts open and there was water, everybody saw the Bake-kujira in it, there were humans desperately trying to swim to safety. General Seaspray jumped into the water and changed to a seapony, the hippogriff navy entered with him, he fights the Bake-kujira while the other hippogriffs get the humans. Several humans and angels with fighting the demons in the eastern part of the kingdom, several humans screamed as they were eaten, they all saw the Azhi Dahaka coming, the angels throw spears at it to attack it, but its wounds made poisonous snakes, spiders, scorpions, and lizards fall out, they bit and stung the angels and humans, they screamed and died from their poison, "Get the creatures!" Princess Ember said, "What? That thing's dangerous!" a human soldier replied, "Just go! I'll deal with it!" Princess Ember said, and the people got the humans and animals under Volvox's rule while Princess Ember fought the Azhi Dahaka. The people in the west were struggling against the Mongolian Death Worm, it burrowed into the ground, came out, shot paralyzing electricity out of its mouth, and burrowed back in, the yaks and Mane Six were struggling, "How are we supposed to win against this?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "Watch out for its venom, it's corrosive, too." the Count of Saint Germain replied, he walks carefully with a revolver in his left hand, the Mongolian Death Worm senses him through vibration and quickly came out of the ground, it was about to shoot a bolt of electricity at him, but it screeches and falls, everybody sees Prince Rutherford charged and stabbed his horns into its back, but the Mongolian Death Worm burrows into the ground and takes him with it. Hades uses his powers to open the ground, Applejack throws her lasso and it lands on the Mongolian Death Worm's neck, she tries to pull it back but it resisted, a sword is stabbed into its head and it was killed, everybody saw the Red Horseman, Talos walked over and pulled Prince Rutherford out of the ground, "Is everybody okay?" Twilight Sparkle asked, they all nodded, they see the humans and go to get them out of the kingdom. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna fly around to dodge the fire and lightning breaths of Phoenix and Thunderbird, the two princesses shoot beams out of their horns, the birds shot fire and lightning out of their mouths, Princess Celestia entered a deadlock with Thunderbird while Princess Luna entered a deadlock with Phoenix, Grampa Gruff and Gallus flew to them and attacked the two birds from behind with their talons, they got distracted and the two birds got hit and were destroyed, "Thank you, both of you." Princess Celestia said, "Save the thanks for later, we've got a battle to win." Grampa Gruff replied, and they fly to help the others. General Seaspray see the humans were all out of the water while he wrestled with the Bake-kujira, he changed to a hippogriff and tried to fly out, but could not, Terramar and Silverstream flew to him and pulled him out, he took the Bake-kujira out of the water as well, it could not breathe and died, "Is everybody okay?" Terramar asked, the rescued humans nodded, they hear roaring and see Flauros running to them, he tries to slash them with his claws, the hippogriffs moved away from the humanoid leopard, he focuses on Queen Novo and runs to her. Princess Ember wrestled with the Azhi Dahaka and was careful of its head, she slashes its body with her claws, the poisonous critters fell out and she burned them all with her fire breath, more begin to fall out and she was shocked to notice it was too many for her to burn, more fire breaths appear behind her and she sees Dragon Lord Torch, Spike, and Smolder have come to help. Goatman and Spring-Heeled Jack go over to help, Spring-Heeled Jack jumped onto the left head to force it down, Goatman cut it off with his axe, Spring-Heeled Jack jumped to the right head and forced it down, Goatman cut it off, Spring-Heeled Jack then stabbed one of his knives into the center head, it screeched and fell, Goatman then cut the last head off. Poisonous critters come out of Azhi Dahaka's body, but Fluttershy flies over and commands the animals, they leave without harming them, Princess Ember sighed with relief. Queen Novo flew around to dodge Flauros while he tried to slash her, Zeus threw a thunderbolt at him and destroyed him. They hear running and saw the Black Horseman chasing Andras, he used his scales to change the terrain, he tried to slash whoever got in his way with his sword, he was trying to go to the world to spread chaos, but Discord sensed him and blocked the entrance, "Uh, uh, uh, spreading chaos in this world is my job." Discord said, Andras tried to slash him with his sword, but it did nothing to Discord, Starlight Glimmer zapped him from behind and he was destroyed. The Tanukis arrive to help and enter the country, they hear roaring and see the Wendigo waiting for them, they changed to Wendigos to battle it, Thorax and Ocellus saw them, they changed into bugbears and went over to help. The Wendigo had trouble against them and was being overpowered, Thorax and Ocellus stung him from behind to paralyze him, and the Tanukis ripped him apart and changed back to normal. Swamp Thing was near the south of Volvox's kingdom, he saw the plants near him dying, he noticed the Basilisk was coming over to fight him, he was made sure not to look into its eyes. Swamp Thing tried to have vines entangle the Basilisk, but its breath killed the plants. Swamp Thing decided to go into the ground, and reform behind it, he tried to choke it but its breath was killing him. Rarity sees several humans run to the Basilisk, but it looks at them and they die instantly, Rarity exclaim with shock and used her telekinesis to get a mirror from her home, she used it to block her view, but when the Basilisk saw itself, it died, Swamp Thing looked away. Rarity was very surprised, she did not expect that to happen. Everybody hears screaming and saw the Nuckelavee running away with a human boy in each hand. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse chase it while the Black Horseman used his scales to change the terrain, Poseidon shot fresh water at it, the creature screeched and dissolved. Everybody continues on to the fortress but the Count of Saint Germain got attacked, they all saw Judas, "I didn't think you'd return, Count of Saint Germain, you will die for your treachery." Judas said, and he held a gladius in his right hand, the Count of Saint Germain stood up and held a sabre in his right hand. The two enter a sword duel and everybody watched, the two hit each other's swords, the Count of Saint Germain's sword had longer range, which helped him, he soon slashed Judas' neck and he died, the sword fight lasted for about two and a half minutes. Everybody continued going forward but a fiery explosion appeared, the smoke clears and everybody saw Giovi, he glared at them, and was ready to fight, "Wait, are those knife blades in place of his fingers?" Starlight Glimmer asked, Giovi got into a fighting stance, the Count of Saint Germain shot a bullet at him, he cut it in midair with the knife blades on his right hand. The human soldiers shoot their guns at him, he held all of the bullets in midair with telekinesis, shocking the ponies, because he did not have a horn. Giovi lunged towards the Count of Saint Germain, he slashed him with the ten knife blades and cut his revolver in the process, the Count of Saint Germain was overwhelmed by his speed and strength. Princess Ember ran to him, "I'll take him on." Princess Ember said, and Giovi got ready to fight her, he did not say anything. Princess Ember tried to wrestle him, but he simply stabbed his knife blades into her palms, she screamed, he then used telekinesis on her to restrain her movement, he was ready to kill her, but he heard Pinkie Pie coming, she tried to tackle him, but he does a backflip to dodge her, Twilight Sparkle shoots him with a zap, he knocked him back, he did not make a sound, "Is he mute?" Rarity asked, "No, he just chooses not to speak." a human boy replied, Princess Ember landed on her feet and shot fire out of her mouth, but Giovi used his magic and the fire floated around him, the world's natives gasp, the pink fire changes to orange and he shoots it back at her, Princess Ember was not harmed. Princess Ember tackles him onto the ground, but he does a backflip and lands on top of Princess Ember's chest with his feet, his boots pressed against her chest hard, she grunted loudly. Dragon Lord Torch flew to him and punched him off of his daughter, Giovi was about to fall, but he landed on his right hand and did a backflip to land on his feet, he then quickly ran towards Dragon Lord Torch, he was too fast to be seen with the regular eye, he was about to attack, but Princess Cadence and Shining Armor teleported between him and Dragon Lord Torch, they use their shields to hold him back, the Count of Saint Germain got up and stabbed his sword into the back of his head and kills him. Everybody hears a lot of racket in the sky and they saw Michael fighting Lucifer, there were six other angels with him, the Count of Saint Germain recognized them, Gabriel was fighting Satan, Uriel was fighting Leviathan, Selaphiel was fighting Mammon, Jegudiel was fighting Beelzebub, Raphael was fighting Asmodeus, and Barachiel was fighting Belphegor. Asmodeus made the demons attack people of their opposite genders, Leviathan made the demons attack those who were rich, Mammon had control over metallic and paper objects, Beelzebub made the demons try to eat other people, Belphegor made the world's natives, angels, and deities have no energy, they fell to the ground, he also had gravity powers, Satan had fire powers and granted them to the demons who had short tempers, and Lucifer made the rich and successful native people of the world attack those who were just as rich or successful as them, they controlled the demons telepathically. Star Swirl the Bearded tried to fight back the lack of energy and sensed them with his magic, he realized Belphegor's magic was making them have no energy, "Everybody, take out that sitting guy, he's the one who's seeping our energy." Star Swirl the Bearded said, "But how? I can't even move." Rainbow Dash replied, "Me neither, I don't have the energy to cast even the simplest spell." Twilight Sparkle said, "We have to fight it, it may be difficult, but we have to try." Princess Celestia replied, she tried to stand up but had trouble, everybody tried as well. Zeus and Thor managed to break through, so did Odin, he tried to help, "Thor, let's try to wipe them out in one blow." Zeus said, "I agree." Thor replied, "I'll help, then." Star Swirl the Bearded said, and the two gods put their lightnings together, and shoot out, Star Swirl the Bearded casts a spell to multiply it. The Princes of the Seven Deadly Sins were hit and they scream and explode. Everybody stands up and looks around, they saw the demons have yielded, "Well, that's the last of them." Thor said, "Volvox is the only one left." Odin replied, "Let's go, then." Princess Celestia said, and they enter the fortress. Everybody sees the fortress was empty, and they hear screaming, they run and see the demons torturing Santa Claus. Twilight Sparkle casts a spell to subdue the demons, they see Santa Claus chained up with many wounds on him, "Thank you, I thought help would never come." Santa Claus said, "You're welcome, hold on." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she uses her magic to break the chains, Santa Claus panted and other creatures took him outside. Everybody walks around the fortress and see no one, they soon arrive into the throne room and saw Volvox was gone, unbeknownst to them, Volvox has shrunken himself to the size of an atom, "Ah, he got away." Hades said, "What?! No! No! No! He couldn't have escaped!" Pinkie Pie said, "I know, right, we all saw him, he's huge." Rainbow Dash replied, "Trust us, Volvox has many powers, most people don't challenge his rule because of it." Zeus said, "Well, it's a shame he got away, we'll have to check our world and see if he's there, thank you for your help, all of you." Poseidon said, "You're welcome, we'll be around if you all need anymore help." Princess Celestia replied, and the world's natives leave. The gods begin evacuating the humans with the Count of Saint Germain and the military unit. Portals open and centaurs walk out, a portal opened in the sky and Amun and Ra came out, "Guys, Volvox isn't in our world." Amun said, "What?" Ares asked, "It's true, we checked with our powers, he's still in his fortress, he just shrunk himself to the size of an atom." Ra replied, the other gods and humans look at the fortress. An explosion comes out of the fortress and orange flames burst out of the ground. Volvox changes his regular size with hellfire around him, "You gods had to come here, you all destroyed the Earth, I'm not going down without a fight." Volvox said, "Come on, Volvox, we're not afraid of you." a male soldier said, "Then come, and face the flames of Hell, itself." Volvox replied, the soldier runs to him to fight, Volvox shoots hellfire out of his front right foot, it hits the soldier, he screams and burned immediately, the fire extinguished as soon he was done burning, there were no remains of the soldier, even his teeth and bones burned. The world's natives screamed in horror at what they saw, "That's not regular fire, it shouldn't burn anyone that fast, or burn the skeleton and teeth." Princess Ember said, Thor and Zeus combine their lightnings together to hit Volvox, it did nothing to him, the centaurs shot arrows at him, but when they hit Volvox, the arrows bent and broke, they fell onto the ground. Volvox lifts his front legs up, hellfire comes out of the ground and burns the people, they scream, the tentacles that made up his spine come up and begin throwing the yellow seven-pointed bladed stars around, they bounce around and cut the people fighting him. The world's natives go over to help since the others were struggling, Odin rode Sleipnir to Volvox to fight him, his sons joined as well, Odin jumped and tried to stab Volvox with his spear, but his spear could not penetrate his skin, the unicorns and changelings try hitting him with their magic, it did nothing. Volvox looked around and saw he had many enemies, his six eyes glow, orange and white light appear in his three mouths, and he had orange light on his front feet, he stood up on his hind legs and held his front legs out, he shoots out hundreds of hellfire blasts from his front feet, hundreds of orange and white blasts from his mouths, and hundreds of black, red, and yellow beams from his eyes. Princess Cadence and Shining Armor casts shields with their horns, they were just barely able to withstand Volvox's beams, Volvox makes his three necks stretch out and his heads go into the ground, they appear inside the shields and shoot the beams, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor scream in horror as they take their shields down, the others get away from him. Swamp Thing grabs Volvox from behind and restrains him, it causes his heads come out of the ground and back onto his body, "Everybody, attack his heads, they're his weak points." Swamp Thing said, Goatman and Spring Heeled Jack jump onto his right head and left head respectively, Goatman tries to destroy his skeleton head while Spring Heeled Jack tried to destroy his shadow head, their weapons could not put a scratch on him. Volvox impales Swamp Thing with his tail, he disappears into the ground and reappears in front of him, fully healed, surprising the world's natives. Swamp Thing wraps vines around Volvox to entangle him, Volvox uses his hellfire powers to burn them, "Ra, now." Amun said, and the two fuse into Amun-Ra, they float up and shoot a fire blast from the sun, Princess Celestia flew up to give them her power, the sun became a fiery blast. Volvox escapes the vines and shoots hellfire blasts from his three mouths, he fuses them into one big blast, it goes up and it enters a deadlock with the blast from the sun. The sun blast and hellfire blast make the world very hot, everybody was sweating, Swamp Thing took energy from the sun blast to make himself stronger. The Count of Saint Germain tried shooting Volvox's center head with another gun, he hits him, but the bullet bounces off, he then threw his sword at him, it hit Volvox in his left chest, but the blade bent, the sword broke and fell down. The seven bladed organic stars that came off of Volvox's spine bounce around and cut whatever they hit, the world's natives scream as they dodge them, Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer use their telekinesis to grab them and put them down. The angels throw spears at Volvox's heads, they break and bounce off as well. Swamp Thing appears behind Volvox and wraps vines around his heads, he makes sure to wrap them in his mouths to prevent him from using his hellfire blasts, he already ensnared his legs, Volvox got hit and he grunts loudly when his three heads were hit, they all got destroyed. Volvox's body opens and poisonous snakes, spider, scorpions, and lizards fell out of his body, the dragons use their fire breaths to burn them, his heart was exposed. Everybody attacks it while he regenerates, he fully regenerated in ten seconds, shocking the world's natives, "What?! Already?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "That doesn't make sense, someone as big as him shouldn't regenerate that fast." Twilight Sparkle said, Volvox realized that they have found out his weakness, but he still had a few tricks up his sleeve, he shrinks himself to the size of an atom, and casts a spell to make himself invisible. Volvox uses his powers to make lava erupt from the ground, he also made a hurricane appear, along with a typhoon, a tsunami, an avalanche, a wildfire, tornadoes, acid rain, and freezing rain. Everybody screams as the acid rain falls, "What is going on?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "It's Volvox, this is why no mortal challenges him, he change and shape the environment to his will with his mind." Zeus replied, shocking the world's natives. Swamp Thing looks around with the microscopic algae to find Volvox, he did not see him anywhere, "I can't find him anywhere." Swamp Thing said, "Well, he did disappear in front of us." Twilight Sparkle replied, "No, he didn't, he just shrunk himself to the size of an atom." Thor said, "I still don't see him anywhere." Swamp Thing replied, Princess Luna casts a spell to find him, she detects him and senses something else, "No wonder why you can't find him, he casted an invisibility spell." Princess Luna said, Princess Celestia casts a spell to undo it, and he became visible. Swamp Thing sees him and tries to ensnare him, but while he tries, a portal opens to the east and another Volvox came out, this one was a cyborg, horrifying the world's natives and the humans, "You will not beat me in the past, my life is in jeopardy." Volvox said, everybody realized he was Volvox from the future. The tanks begin shooting at him and see the metallic skin on him was weaker than his organic ones, he shoots beams out of his eyes at them to destroy them, more portals opened and UFOs came out, they shoot disintegrating rays at Future Volvox, he just used his telekinesis to destroy them, more UFOs come out of the portals to fight him. Zeus, Thor, Poseidon, and Amphitrite combine their powers together to soak him and shock him in hopes it will shut him down, it only stunned him and partially immobilized him. Future Volvox teleports around and shoots his hellfire blasts everywhere, but Discord used his powers to make him turn into stone, "No, no, no, two Volvoxes is cheating." Discord said, but Future Volvox undoes Discord's spell, the world's natives were very shocked to see Discord's magic did not work on him, "Foolish creature, such spells don't work on me." Volvox said as he held Discord up, he vaporizes him with his eye beams, but Discord's spirit floated around to help. Swamp Thing manages to ensnare Volvox but he shoots a big orange and white blast from the mouth of his center head, it was visible to the naked eye, "There he is!" Applejack said, and Princess Celestia casts a spell to force him to change back to his regular size, Star Swirl the Bearded tried casting a spell to destroy him, but it did nothing to him, "Come on, girls, let's try the Rainbow Power." Twilight Sparkle said, and the Mane Six run to the Tree of Harmony, they open the chest and obtain the Rainbow Power, Volvox shoots orange and white blasts out of his three mouths at them, they scream as they fall, they looked on in complete shock, unable to believe that Volvox would attack someone while they are transforming. The angels and UFOs deal with Future Volvox, he was destroying them all with ease, Goatman ran onto Future Volvox's tail and up his spine, he cuts his heads with his axe, Future Volvox grunted loudly and his body opened up, he had hidden artillery inside his body, everybody moved away to dodge them, Michael threw a spear into his heart and he screamed, it exploded, he fell over and died, everybody was surprised at how easily he went down. Volvox continues changing the environment around and was creating monsters to fight, Sunburst casted a spell to get rid of them, "Hurry, I don't know how long I can keep this up." Sunburst said, the Mane Six power up with the Rainbow Power. Swamp Thing ensnares Volvox again while Spring Heeled Jack jumped onto his heads to distract him, Star Swirl the Bearded casts a spell that destroys all three of his heads at once, his body opens up again and the poisonous critters fall out, which the dragons burned with their fire breaths. The unicorns, princesses, and changelings shoot a blast from their horns together, while the Mane Six use the Rainbow Power, they hit Volvox in the heart and he screams and falls to the ground. Volvox gets up while panting and realized he had no energy, "It's over, Volvox, your tyranny ends here." Zeus said, "Tyranny?! You're the ones who infected the Earth with this plague you call a species! I'm saving the Earth by getting rid of them!" Volvox replied angrily, the world's natives were very shocked by what he called the humans, "The Earth is going to develop now, your time as emperor is over." Amun-Ra said, "I'm a god!" Volvox replied angrily, "They're gods, too, Volvox." the Count of Saint Germain said, "I'm your only god! I was on the Earth first! That planet was mine! I was the very first being to ever exist on there!" Volvox replied angrily, the world's natives were getting angry with him, "The Maker said for us to share." Zeus said, "Share after I was gone, there are many other planets out there, and of all of the planets, you had to choose mine, you could've had the humans live on a planet in the Trappist 1 system!" Volvox replied angrily, "You brought it onto yourself, Volvox." Thor said, "How?" Volvox asked, "The Maker decided to put us as the creators of the planet when it saw you rule, and it saw you kill your own people." Thor replied, "That wasn't my fault, I was the apex species of Earth, I had to show them that I still am!" Volvox said angrily, "No." Princess Celestia said, and she flew up to him, "You may be the most powerful creature from that planet, but that does not give the right to be cruel, you could use many lessons in sharing." Princess Celestia said, "I'm not sharing anything, if you other deities want my planet, you'll have to kill me first." Volvox said, "Very well." Amun-Ra relied, and they shoot a solar blast at him, Volvox did not scream or make any noises, he just accepted his death, "Wow, that went on quickly." Twilight Sparkle said, "I wouldn't rest yet, he's very hard to get rid of." Thor replied, "Let's go home, it's time his demons stand trial." Swamp Thing said, "Wait, just who are you?" Rarity asked, "I am the avatar of the green." Swamp Thing replied, "The green?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It is our home's plants." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Yes, I am the planet's guardian." Swamp Thing said, "Let's take Volvox's demons with us, let's find out what really happened." Zeus said, and they go back to Earth. Volvox's demons stood trial back on Earth with the gods, angels, and other creatures, the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, their world's rulers, and many other creatures from their world attended the trial as well to make sure the demons do not get away with their crimes. Swamp Thing was at the trial as well, so was the Green Lantern Corps, the Guardians of the Universe were there as well, so was the Justice League, the X-Men, Samurai Jack, the Crystal Gems, the Z Fighters, Kenshiro, Toki, the Joestar family, the Predators, the Terminator, Robocop, Takeshi Hongo, Hayato Ichimonji, Kazuya Taki, Tobei Tachibana, Aang, Korra, the BSAA, and Earth's wildlife, including several cryptids and mythical creatures, who hid the humans from Volvox's demons, and fought to protect them when they were spotted. The demons talk about Volvox's rule within the kingdom, how he declared himself a god, tried to make the humans build statues of himself, and how long they lived depended on what shape they were in when Volvox teleported them into his kingdom against their will. The demons also talk about Volvox's pettiness, and one time, he wished for his birthday to be everyday, but one demon said that's not possible, and Volvox killed him as a result. The natives of Equestria watch the trial and realize the other people present there have fought Volvox and his demons at one point or another, some of them were crying at what they heard and watched, so was Steven Universe. The Count of Saint Germain went up and revealed what he has found while he looked for help, he revealed that all of the bad things that happened in human history happened because Volvox controlled them telepathically, the Mane Six looked on in horror when they saw it, they had tears in their eyes' when they saw the Holocaust and 9/11, they realized the humans have been living in fear of Volvox for millions of years. Twilight Sparkle watched with horror and was crying a bit, she realized Volvox was worse than Queen Chrysalis, King Sombra, and the Storm King combined. The trial came close to the end and every demon who has served under Volvox said they had no regrets for their actions, this greatly angered the Mane Six and the others from their worlds, the Joestar family was angry as well, so was Korra, the trial ended and every demon was sentenced to death, they were executed shortly afterwards, Kenshiro and Goku were the main executioners, Princess Ember took part in the execution as well. Six weeks pass and the humans stayed on the world they were in since the Earth was still destroyed, the palace was transferred into their world via magic as well, the natives see the sign the Count of Saint Germain saw earlier about sanctuary in the palace, "I can't believe this happened, I hope they can recover." Twilight Sparkle said, "I do, too, Twilight, but look, those kind people opened up their hearts to protect them from their tyrannical ruler, I think you can learn another lesson in friendship from them, that you don't have to know the person, any random person who helps you can be a friend." Princess Celestia replied, they see the Earth's native fauna and creatures helping the humans as well, Fluttershy brought her pets over to offer additional help, "Let's go, Twilight, we should help them as well." Princess Celestia said, and they go over to help the humans recover. Hours pass and the world's natives leave while the gods, angels, extraterrestrials, and extra-dimensionals thank them. The ground bursts open and Osiris, Anubis, and Hades run to them, "Help!" Anubis said, "What is it?" Zeus asked, "It's Volvox, he's taken over the afterlife!" Anubis replied, the world's natives look at him with horror, the ground opens even more and Volvox came out, he was now light blue, he was a ghost now, "Heh, heh, heh, that's right, you foolish deities, not even the afterlife is out of my reach." Volvox said while smiling, Future Volvox came out as well, "I'm back as well." Future Volvox said, the humans scream in horror at seeing him come back. The world's natives hurry over to help them, the two Volvoxes shoot blasts out their mouths at them, everybody tried attacking them, but everything went through them. Everybody hears roaring and sees gargoyles flying to them to help, they were able to attack Volvox and Future Volvox due to them being created to protect others from evil spirits. The two Volvoxes control hellfire together and try to burn the gargoyles, Spike burps and shoots green fire at them, the hellfire canceled out the dragon's fire immediately. The gargoyles try to slash both Volvoxes with their claws, it was not harming him, so Osiris, Anubis, and Hades join in the fight, they command the ghosts of the afterlife to hold him off. Star Swirl the Bearded casts a spell to empower the gargoyles to make their claws stronger, they soon broke the three heads of both Volvoxes, they grunt loudly and their bodies opened, revealing the venomous critters and hidden artillery. Osiris, Anubis, and Hades cast their magic together and both Volvoxes scream as their ghost forms were destroyed. The world's natives watched worriedly while the gods of the afterlife and underworld to get everything under control, "I hope he doesn't come back." Twilight Sparkle said, "I wouldn't count on it, he might have another thing in mind, let's keep an eye out." Zeus replied, and everybody continues with their days. Two days pass and the humans continue recovering with the world's natives helping them, the humans lived in fear and paranoia of Volvox coming back. A big portal opens to the north and everybody sees Volvox walk out, everybody was shocked, "So this is the universe where I lost the battle against the people, it's time to take over in his place." Volvox said, everybody realized he was Volvox from an alternate universe, where he did win the battle against this world's people and creatures. Everybody goes over to help and Alternate Volvox shrinks to the size of an atom, he begins using hellfire to burn things at a microscopic level. Swamp Thing finds him and restrains him while the unicorns cast a spell to change him back to regular size. The Mane Six use the Rainbow Power again to destroy his heads, his body opens and Zeus and Thor use their lightnings on him, they hit his heart really hard and he exploded. Alternate Volvox became a ghost, "Oh no, not this time." Hades said as he, Osiris, and Anubis cast magic to destroy his soul, the world's natives were shocked at the fact he came back again, but they all continue with their days. Three weeks pass and the humans continue recovering with others helping them, they were sensing something off for a week now. Another portal open and Volvox comes out, shocking the world's natives, "You've got to be kidding me! This is getting ridiculous!" Rainbow Dash said, "Where is this one from?!" Princess Ember asked, the gods used their magic and discovered it was Volvox from the past, from the very beginning of Earth's creation, "I may have just been created, but I had dreams about me losing my fight here, I have to win, so I can keep my status as Earth's apex species." Past Volvox said to himself, he begins to change the environment around to make the same natural disasters from the first fight happen, he also tried to make creatures appear, but the world's natives and the Greek, Egyptian, and Norse gods cast magic together to destroy them. Everybody quickly powers up to destroy his heads, his body opened, nothing came out this time, and everybody works together to destroy his heart, Past Volvox screamed as he got killed. Past Volvox came back as a ghost and snickered, Hades, Osiris, and Anubis cast a spell together, Princess Luna joined in a fit of anger, "No more!" Princess Luna said angrily, she was tired of Volvox coming back, the four destroy his spirit form, "Noooooo!!" Past Volvox said as his ghost got destroyed. Princess Celestia sensed the other universes with her magic while the Count of Saint Germain traveled through time, he came back shortly afterwards, "I don't see Volvox anywhere in history now." the Count of Saint Germain said, "I just finished sensing the alternate universes, he's gone for good this time, he won't be hurting any of you ever again." Princess Celestia said, and they hug the humans. Stheno and Euryale carry Medusa's body to bury her, they did not help with their battles or the humans due to them being enemies with Poseidon and Athena, they left to bury their sister. The two Gorgons walk but were surprised when they saw the world's natives waiting, they noticed the humans turning into stone from looking at them, the unicorns use magic to undo it, and make them immune to their stone powers, "Who are you three?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I'm Stheno, this is my little sister, Euryale, and this dead one is our youngest sister, Medusa, we had to serve under Volvox, we had to dance to please him, our youngest sister was against it, and tried to quit, Volvox killed her as a result." Stheno replied while holding back her tears, "What are you three?" Shining Armor asked, "We're Gorgons." Euryale replied, "If you want, I can take care of your pet snakes." Fluttershy said, "It's fine, thank you, we have to get going, we're in a hurry." Stheno said, and the two Gorgons walk away, they bury Medusa to the east of Volvox's kingdom. A week passes and the world's natives ask about the kingdom while they helped the gods nurse them back to health, and helped them rebuild their society, they all learn about Tom, the human who tried to stand up against Volvox and got killed. The Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, princesses, Starlight Glimmer, Spike, and Young Six walk together when they see a human at Volvox's kingdom, they saw him put up a gravestone and then put a picture on it, they all look and saw the picture of a man, they see Tom's name at the top of the picture, "Happy birthday, my son, if only you were around now, Volvox's rule is over, I hope my voice reaches you as I sing your favorite song." the man said, everybody realized he was Tom's father, he began to sing, "Leaves from the vine, Falling so slow. Like fragile, tiny shells, Drifting in the foam. Little soldier boy, Come marching home. Brave soldier boy, Comes marching home." The world's natives who watched him and heard him were crying, he had tears in his eyes as well. They go to him to comfort him, Tom's father was looked at them and let them stay with him, he goes home when the sun began to set. The humans continue rebuilding and lived peacefully, the humans who lost their loved ones to Volvox still grieved, the ponies did their best to comfort them. Princess Luna took care of the human children, she comforted them and played with them, she also visited their nightmares first to get rid of their dreams of Volvox, while there, she met a yokai called a Baku, it ate their nightmares. The humans grew and expanded and lived together peacefully with the natives of the world.
Benevolent RulerVolvox lived in a society were everything was orderly, every human was divided by race, gender, age, and social class, the race section was divided into white, black, brown, red, and yellow, the gender section was divided into male and female, age was divided into kid, teenager, adult, middle-aged, and elderly, and social class was divided into upper-class, middle-class, and lower-class, each person lived in an area of the world where every other person living with them was the same race, gender, age, and social class as them. People who were physically and mentally disabled were outcasts of society, Volvox was an outcast as well due to him being a one of a kind species, he formed his own kingdom so the disabled people could live in peace. Volvox's kingdom was still in the early stages, he only had white, elderly, middle-class males in his kingdom, he wanted every disabled person of every race, gender, age, and social class in his kingdom, he had four different sections of disabled. The first one was for the deaf people, those who could not hear, the second section was for the blind people, those who could not see, the third section was for the mute people, those who could not speak, and the fourth section was for the paralyzed, those who could not walk, and had to use either wheelchairs or clutches. Volvox was working on creating a fifth section for those with mental disorders, since they were outcasts as well. Volvox was not alone in his quest, his best friend, Dommiel, a demon, has also agreed to help him, even though he was not disabled, himself, he was a sympathizer for the disabled, he watched the disabled people for Volvox since he was too busy trying to get every disabled person into his kingdom. The second person who agreed to help was a human with no disabilities, his name was Jesus, he took care of the disabled humans, and fed them, he willingly volunteered to help, the disabled people liked the three. The disabled people kept coming in and it was becoming too much for Dommiel and Jesus, Volvox took notice of this, and tried to hire anyone who wanted to help them, he did not expect much luck. Only one person volunteered, but Volvox did not want to hire him, "What? Of all people, you're going to hire Narcissus?" Dommiel asked, "I know, but he's the only one available, I don't want to hire him, either." Volvox replied, "We don't have a choice, Dommiel, Narcissus is the only one who wants to help." Jesus said, "Fine, but I'm keeping an eye on him, I don't trust that guy." Dommiel replied, "None of us do." Volvox said, "Well, let's go ahead and call him." Jesus replied, and Volvox contacted him telepathically. Narcissus arrives at the kingdom of the disabled, the deaf, mute, and disabled people looked at him with disdain, Narcissus had an inverted triangular face shape, pale skin, wavy blonde hair that went down to his lower back, deep set turquoise eyes, and he was wearing a white-tie attire with a tailcoat, he did not wear a hat or monocle, he was wearing white gloves with his outfit, he had a mesomorph body shape, and was muscular. Narcissus walks into the palace and saw Volvox, Dommiel, and Jesus waiting for him, "I am here to help, I hope to do a good job." Narcissus said, he had an accent that sounded like a British accent and an Italian accent mixed together, "Alright then, Narcissus, this is very tough to do, so don't take this as a game, due to Dommiel and I having to help Volvox make money to build this area more, we have no choice but to leave you in charge." Jesus replied, "Do not worry, as a senator and an aristocrat, I have a lot of experience dealing with all kinds of people." Narcissus said, "Okay, but remember, you will be watched, so you can't do what you want." Dommiel replied, "I can promise you all you will get nothing but perfection." Narcissus said, "We don't need perfection, we just need you to make sure the disabled are well fed and treated well." Volvox replied, he was already starting to dislike Narcissus, "So, what else do I have to do?" Narcissus asked, "Unfortunately, since Dommiel and I won't be available due to us needing to help Volvox, you'll have to be in charge of their food, their water, their heating systems, and their cooling systems, be very careful, they all have enhanced senses." Dommiel replied, "Very well, I am ready to work, show me around." Narcissus said, and Jesus leads the way. Twilight Sparkle was trying to cast a spell she has found in her spellbook, it allowed her to teleport places to her, "Okay, let's try it out, here goes nothing." Twilight Sparkle said, Spike was nervous, Twilight Sparkle casts the spell and it makes something appear to the northeast of Canterlot, and southeast of the Crystal Empire, Volvox's kingdom was transferred into their world. Everybody walks, flies, swims, and teleports to Volvox's kingdom to see it, they all saw the blind, deaf, mute, and physically disabled men in his kingdom, the world's natives were very surprised. They hear walking and see Jesus and Narcissus, "The disabled people are here, the blind are over there, those are the deaf, the mute are there, and the physically disabled are over there." Jesus said as he pointed his right hand to them, Narcissus walked forward, "Good morning." Narcissus said, the blind men looked at him, the mute men went over to the deaf men and tapped them, they pointed to Narcissus, "My name is Narcissus, I was hired today to be your new director, since Volvox, Dommiel, and Jesus have to raise more money to complete this kingdom, and are short on staff, I have been hired to control things, I will be in charge of the food, water, heating, and cooling systems. I am descended from British, French, and Italian aristocracy, I hope we get along, and work together." Narcissus said, the men living in Volvox's kingdom were not pleased. Jesus looks around and sees the world's natives still looking at them, "Volvox, Dommiel, you two might want to see this." Jesus said, and the two head out, Dommiel comes first and the world's natives were surprised to see he was wearing armor that covered his entire body. The ground shook as Volvox walked, he stands up straight and the world's natives were very shocked to see he looked like a giant Cerberus, he sees the world's natives looking at his kingdom, "What do we do?" Dommiel asked, "Ignore them, we have disabled people to take care of." Volvox replied, his voice was loud and booming, but was not as loud as the Royal Canterlot Voice, "But we're not in our world, there's nothing you can do." Narcissus said, "Remember, we have long-distance communication, I should be able to reach our world." Volvox replied, "And what if that doesn't work?" Narcissus asked, "We can try with our magic as well." Dommiel replied, "Oh." Narcissus said, "Come on, Dommiel, we've got paperwork to fill out." Volvox said, and he and Dommiel left, "Well, Narcissus, your office is right behind you, if any of the disabled have any complaints, you have to listen to them." Jesus said, "Understood." Narcissus replied, and he entered his office, Jesus was very suspicious of him. The Mane Six trot into the kingdom to go see who they were, "Uh, excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, Jesus looked at them, "What is this place?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "This is a sanctuary for the disabled." Jesus replied, "The disabled? What happened?" Applejack asked, "Where we come from, everything is orderly, everybody is divided by race, gender, age, and social class, while those who are blind, deaf, mute, physically disabled, and those who have mental disorders are forced out, they are outcasts of society." Jesus replied, shocking the Mane Six, "Outcasts? They're not allowed in their homes?" Rarity asked, "Worse, they can't go home, and they're the most common victims of crime, disabled people die every day in our world." Jesus replied, the Mane Six were very shocked, "How do they become disabled?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Three ways: either, they're born that way, they lost their senses or limbs from illness, or someone made them like that, usually from a physical attack." Jesus replied, "Are those who are disabled from getting attacked outcasts, too?" Fluttershy asked, "Unfortunately, yes, and due to them being outcasts, it is illegal by law for them to get medical treatment." Jesus replied, "What?!" Pinkie Pie asked with shock while the other five had their jaws dropped, "That ain't right! They got injured!" Applejack said, "That doesn't matter to the government of our world, they're also not allowed in schools, so no education, they also can't get jobs, even though they still have to pay taxes to the government, they're not allowed to live in houses, either, and worst of all, if a disabled person is a victim of crime, the law enforcement will not bother to investigate, and they can't go to a trial, either, because one of the laws is that the disabled person will be sentenced to death, no matter what, while the culprit will get away with no punishment if they are not disabled." Jesus replied, "What?! That's not fair!" Twilight Sparkle said, "I'm sorry, but that's how it is, Volvox, Dommiel, and I have been working to make this kingdom a safe place for them." Jesus replied, "Are you guys done developing?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Not even close, we just started." Jesus replied, "Well, we'll be around, good luck developing." Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright, thanks." Jesus replied, and the Mane Six leave, Jesus watches the disabled white, elderly, middle-class men in the kingdom. Volvox and Dommiel were filling out paperwork, they were coming up with lies and made-up stories so the government would fund them. Dommiel was trying to use their technology to contact their world, he got contact, "Good news, Volvox, we can contact our world, those transferring devices for objects work, but we can't send ourselves back." Dommiel said, "Good, that means I can send my paperwork to them to earn money, we needs billions of dollars to build the section for the mentally disabled." Volvox replied, "What do you plan to do after that?" Dommiel asked, "I would like to have females here, too, and then the kids, teenagers, and middle-aged, and everyone of every race, they all deserve sanctuary." Volvox replied, "Agreed, I hope we can get all of them in here, I'm especially worried about Tom." Dommiel said, "Me too, I hope Narcissus doesn't do anything to him." Volvox replied, Tom was the most disabled person in the kingdom, while he was the only man in the kingdom who was not old, he lost his arms and legs in a war, he got kidnapped and was tortured, his lost his eyes, ears, and tongue as a result, his vocal chords were also damaged. Dommiel used his magic to make a wheelchair for Tom that he can control with his mind, he also had PTSD from the war, Volvox took him in when he found him, "I still remember why you took in the white, elderly, middle-class men." Dommiel said, "It was because they were the closest people to my kingdom when I made it, had to start somewhere." Volvox replied, "True, back to work." Dommiel said, and he starts writing lies to send to the government so they can give them money to fund what was written on the papers. Princess Celestia was looking at Volvox's kingdom and smiling, she liked what she was seeing. Twilight Sparkle walked to Princess Celestia to speak to her, "Princess Celestia, that kingdom is a good place." Twilight Sparkle said, "I heard what they said, what they're doing is wonderful, they were kind and generous enough to open up their hearts to take care of those disabled people." Princess Celestia replied, "Well, actually, I was hoping I could send my students there so they can help them." Twilight Sparkle said, "That's a wonderful idea, Twilight, friendship is especially important for disabled people like them, it lets them know that there are others who have sympathy for them and wish to help, it shows that even though we don't have disabilities like them, we still care." Princess Celestia replied, "So, can I, Princess Celestia?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "You'll have to speak to them first, Twilight, if they do say yes, I'll offer my help as well." Princess Celestia replied, Twilight Sparkle smiled, "Well, I'll try tomorrow, it is getting close to bedtime." Twilight Sparkle said, and she teleported back home while Princess Celestia went back into her palace. Jesus shows Narcissus around and showed where the disabled use the bathroom, take baths and showers, where the air conditioner and heater systems were at, the water heater, and his office which will double as his living quarters, "This is kind of unsanitary compared to what I'm used to." Narcissus said, "Well, get used to it, you can change it around if you wish, and lucky for you, our transferring technology works, so you can make yourself feel at home with the one near your desk." Jesus replied, "I will, I'm already thinking about making a few changes." Narcissus said, and Jesus left. Night time comes and there was a blizzard since it was winter, the disabled people were shivering in their beds, Narcissus has turned their heaters off. Jesus ran around to check them, "Christopher, Peter, Vincent, we need more blankets, inform John as well." Jesus said, the four were the oldest of their respective groups, and their leaders, John was deaf, Peter was blind, Christopher was mute, and Vincent was in a wheelchair. John, Christopher, Peter, and Vincent open the cabinets and John, Christopher, and Vincent looked on with shock, "What's the matter?" Peter asked, "All of the blankets are gone." Vincent replied, "What?" Jesus asked, and he ran to them, he saw the blankets were gone, he ran outside. Narcissus was in his office with a strong heater on, and blankets spread out everywhere, he also had on warm and comfortable long johns. Jesus knocked on the door several times, "Yes?" Narcissus asked, and Jesus came in, "Where are the blankets?" Jesus asked, "I sold them." Narcissus replied, "What?!" Jesus asked, "As an aristocrat, I have to do my utmost best to keep my physical appearance perfect, I have sold the blankets for some skincare products, bath salts, and cosmetics." Narcissus replied, Jesus was already angry. Dommiel ran into the room shortly afterwards, "Why are the heaters off, Narcissus?!" Dommiel asked angrily, "I need the heaters, I do not wish to have frostbite on my beautiful skin." Narcissus replied, "THERE ARE PEOPLE FREEZING, NARCISSUS!!" Dommiel yelled angrily, "So?" Narcissus asked, "YOU'LL KILL SOMEONE!!" Dommiel yelled angrily, "If someone is to die while I achieve my mission to be the most beautiful aristocrat in the world, then their sacrifice will not be in vain." Narcissus replied, Dommiel and Jesus were very angry at the moment, they just left while Dommiel slammed the door. Volvox shrunk himself to the size of the humans and entered their sleeping quarters, he used his hellfire powers to heat up the room, he hears teleporting and saw Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack appear. The six had blankets with them and they run around to cover the disabled people while begging for them to wait and that they were coming, they cover everyone and went to Volvox, "Is that everybody?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, thank you." Volvox replied, "How could he? There's a blizzard going on right now." Pinkie Pie said, "Yeah, these people are freezin'." Applejack said, "I didn't want to hire him, either, I only did so because he was the only one available." Volvox replied, Dommiel and Jesus ran back into the room, "Volvox, that Narcissus has locked the room to the heating systems." Dommiel said, "What?" Volvox asked, "There's a lock on the door, we think he barricaded it from the inside, too." Jesus replied, and Volvox ran out while the Mane Six went to go see Narcissus. Narcissus was warm and comfortable in his office, knocking was heard on his door, "Enter." Narcissus said, and the Mane Six enter, he looks at them, "What do you six want?" Narcissus asked, "We want heating and blankets." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I sold them to buy me some skincare products." Narcissus said, "Skincare?! There are people freezin' out there!" Applejack said, "Well, tell them to wait until I'm done with the heater." Narcissus replied, "Until you're done?! You're not the only one living here!" Rainbow Dash said angrily, "As an aristocrat, it is essential that I receive the best quality, such classes lower than me are not deserving of such quality." Narcissus said, "What do you mean they don't deserve it?! I'm upper-class just like you! And I let the lower classes have the things I use." Rarity replied, "Then you are not a true aristocrat, a true aristocrat only shares with other aristocrats." Narcissus said, "Do you share your things with animals?" Fluttershy asked, "Only animals who are pets of aristocrats, those other savage beasts better not dare to touch me, it will ruin my perfect skin and clothes." Narcissus replied, "What about parties? Are those aristocrats only?" Pinkie Pie asked, "They are the only ones who are deserving of such things." Narcissus replied, "What about birthday parties?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Middle-class scum like them don't deserve that luxury." Narcissus replied, shocking the Mane Six, "What about the heater, are ya done with it yet?" Applejack asked, "No, I am not." Narcissus replied, the Mane Six were angry, but it was late, so they left while Rainbow Dash slammed the door. Volvox, Dommiel, and Jesus go to the door that controlled the heating and cooling systems of the kingdom, Volvox ripped the lock off with his front left foot, he tried to open it but saw it was barricaded on the inside, so he used his telekinesis to take out the things. The three open it and look at the controls, they saw Narcissus has switched the heater so it will only be on in his office, "That scumbag is hogging all the heat." Dommiel said, "Well, time to change it back." Volvox replied, and he does, the disabled people became happy, "I'm tired, we should call it a day." Jesus said, the other two agreed and headed to their quarters, they stayed there and heard the Mane Six leaving after a few minutes, everybody except for Volvox and Dommiel sleep for the rest of the night due to the two not needing sleep to survive. The next day comes and Volvox and Dommiel were already working, they were making up stories so the government would fund them, and sending them to their world with the transferring devices. They hear knocking on the door, "Enter." Volvox said, and the Mane Six entered, "Oh, it's you six, what brings you all here?" Volvox asked, "Since you're busy trying to help disabled people, we thought we could help." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Of course, we are short on staff." Volvox said, the Mane Six smiled, "We were wonderin' why there weren't anyone watchin' over 'em." Applejack said, "Jesus usually takes care of them, Volvox and I are busy raising money to build the area." Dommiel replied, "For what, exactly?" Rarity asked, "To build another section for those with mental disorders." Volvox replied, "Will you be done after that?" Fluttershy asked, "No, far from it, after that, I have to get females in here." Volvox replied, "Wait, you don't have any girls in here?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Not yet." Volvox replied, "We're still in the developing stages, after that, we have to get kids, teenagers, and middle-aged people in here, and then people of every race, and the upper-class and lower-class people, then we'll be done, we have to find others who wish to help, but so far, no one does." Dommiel said, "We'd be glad to help, there are a lot of people for y'all to take care of already." Applejack replied, "True, thanks for volunteering." Volvox said, "You're welcome, we'll be back, we've got classes to teach." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Alright, we'll see you six later." Dommiel said, and the Mane Six left while smiling. The disabled men were about to take showers while Jesus guided Tom, he had every men divided into groups of four, one deaf person, one blind person, one mute person, and one physically disabled person, they helped lead one another. Jesus sees everybody were in the showers and he turned them on, the showers turn on, but the disabled people exclaim in shock, "What's the matter?" Jesus asked, "The showers are ice cold." Peter replied, Jesus was shocked and he checked the water, he felt it with his right hand and realized it was, "Hold on, I'll be back, everybody." Jesus said, and he ran to where the water heater was at, it was gone, Jesus became angry and ran to Narcissus' office. Narcissus had a wooden bucket filled with warm water and bath salts, he was basically giving himself a spa treatment, Jesus knocked on the door, "Come in." Narcissus said, and Jesus walked in, he saw Narcissus in the bath, "Where is the water heater?" Jesus asked, "I took it out." Narcissus replied, "Why?" Jesus asked, "Well, since using the water heater costs money, I thought if I get rid of it, we could save money and Volvox and Dommiel could build the next section earlier." Narcissus replied, Jesus can clearly tell from his facial expressions, eye movement, tone of voice, and sweat that he was lying, "What other reasons were there to getting rid of the water heater?" Jesus asked, "Well, I needed money to get myself a spa, so I had to sell it in order to get it." Narcissus replied, Jesus glared at him and left while Narcissus looked at the bathwater and admired his own reflection. He went back to the shower room and saw Volvox and Dommiel already found out, and Volvox used his hellfire powers to warm up the disabled, Jesus just tried to go on with their schedules. Jesus makes breakfast for the disabled men and he realized Narcissus has cut their rations and silverware, their plates were gone as well, all there was to eat was canned broccoli soup, it stank, but Jesus served it. John, Christopher, Peter, and Vincent were sitting together and trying it, "Fecal matter." John said, "Disgusting slop." Peter said, "It tastes sour as well." Vincent said, Christopher shook his head with disapproval, the bowls they were served in were only eight centimeters in diameter, and five centimeters deep. Tom was being fed by a mute man and he controlled his wheelchair with his mind to go see Jesus, a man on clutches went with him to speak for him, "I'm sorry, guys, but there's no more." Jesus said, "No second helping?" the man on clutches asked, "Rations were cut, apparently, I don't know what Narcissus did, but I'll make sure to report this to Volvox." Jesus replied, John, Christopher, Peter, and Vincent glared at them, John was able to find out what was going on by just watching them. Peter stood up and headed to Narcissus' office, "What are you doing in here?" Narcissus asked, "The rations, we need more." Peter replied, "I don't answer to the likes of you, get out, you deformed buffoon." Narcissus said, Peter glared and left, he slammed the door. Peter walks back and a blind man starts coughing, he fell out of the seat, the others look at him with concern while Jesus ran to check on him, "The food, it doesn't make me feel good." the man said, Jesus looks at it with suspicion, he puts a piece of the broccoli soup on his right index finger and puts it in his mouth to taste it, he became shocked, "Everybody! Spit it out! The food is rotten!" Jesus said, the world's natives overhear him and look at the kingdom with shock. Dommiel ran to Narcissus' office and kicked the door open with his left foot, "It is customary to knock. What do you want? Can't you see I'm having my breakfast?" Narcissus asked, "You eat steak... and salad... and drink wine? While the others get food you can find in the trash?" Dommiel asked, "As an upper-class person, I have to have the best quality cuisine our world has to offer." Narcissus replied, "What about the rest of the rations? Where are they?" Dommiel asked, "I cut them for budget reasons, I had to sell them to get my meals, I am required to have a strict diet in order to stay in peak physical condition." Narcissus replied, Dommiel knew he was lying since he was the one who handled the kingdom's budget, he also saw more food and drinks behind Narcissus, "What about those food and drinks behind you?" Dommiel asked, "Those are my brunch, lunch, tea, dinner, and dessert." Narcissus replied, "The disabled people only have one meal a day? While you have six?" Dommiel asked, "It is a custom of my culture." Narcissus replied, "This isn't an aristocratic society, Narcissus!" Dommiel said angrily, "Dommiel, even if a society is ruled by a lower-class or middle-class person, the upper-class are the ones who have the power." Narcissus replied, Dommiel slammed his left fist on Narcissus' desk, which scared him, "That is not how things work in this kingdom. In this kingdom, you have to eat and drink the same things you serve to the disabled, so, unless you're allergic to it, you have to eat that broccoli soup as well." Dommiel said, the two hear walking and Dommiel looked back, he saw Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, Queen Novo, and Princess Skystar come in, "We are the rulers of this world's countries, Narcissus, we need to talk." Princess Celestia said, "You all should address your concerns to Volvox." Dommiel replied, "We don't have anything to say to him, we wish to speak with Narcissus." Queen Novo said, "In private?" Dommiel asked, "No, you can stay." Shining Armor replied, "I'll be outside helping the others." Dommiel said, and he left. The rulers of the countries all look at Narcissus, "We have been keeping track of what you've been doing, Narcissus, your ways of doing things are unacceptable." Princess Skystar said, "You must understand, as an aristocrat, I have many expectations from society to fulfill." Narcissus replied, "That's baloney, your world's people are not here." Princess Ember said, "Care to explain why you have sold the things they need?" Princess Celestia asked, "I had to make sacrifices in order to work, there are some conditions I cannot work in." Narcissus replied, "What kind of conditions do you need in order to work?" Princess Cadence asked, "Only the best conditions, it is the only thing that fits a high-class and fancy aristocrat like myself." Narcissus replied, "Is your appearance the only thing you care about?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "Of course not, aristocrats also have to be brave and skilled fighters, I have to stay in shape as well." Narcissus replied, "Yak care for family, does rich man also care for family?" Prince Rutherford asked, "It depends, if they live up to their parents' legacy, yes, if not, no." Narcissus replied, the rulers were shocked, "What about them? Don't you care about them?" Princess Luna asked, "I am just here to do my job properly, I do not wish to waste my time with such lower social class filth." Narcissus replied, the rulers were shocked again, "What about children from the lower-class and middle-class?" King Thorax asked, "They are a plague that need to be rid of, such scum should not exist." Narcissus replied, Princess Luna was losing her temper, "They are still people! And care not about the children?!" Princess Luna asked angrily, "I am not going to touch those filthy snobs with my squeaky clean hands, I have to keep my physical appearance perfect." Narcissus replied, Princess Luna was angry, she used her telekinesis on his wine bottle and broke it, "Come on, sister, let's just go." Princess Celestia said, and the rulers leave his office, Narcissus gets a towel and wipes the wine. Twilight Sparkle brought her students from her school into the kingdom to help the disabled people, Cheerilee brought her class over as well, the world's natives have gone over to help Jesus with his daily activities, they brought food and drinks from their countries over, "Free and freshly baked apple treats over here, y'all." Applejack said, "Who wants a cupcake? Free cupcakes over here." Pinkie Pie said, "I've got muffins over here." Derpy said, the disabled people move around to try them, "Who wants gems?" Spike asked, Vincent goes over to him, "We can't digest gems." Vincent said, "Oh." Spike said, and he ate them on his own. Jesus looked around and saw the world's natives were also helping the blind move around by guiding them, the disabled elderly men were all starting to like them. The rulers of the countries see their citizens helping out the disabled by feeding them and guiding them, they went over to help as well. Everybody hears a wheelchair moving and they all see Tom, the world's natives were shocked by what they saw, "What happened to him?" Sweetie Belle asked, "He got captured while fighting in a war and was tortured, he lost his eyes, ears, tongue, and limbs from the torture." Peter replied, the world's natives were shocked, "How does he move around?" Scootaloo asked, "That wheelchair is powered by his mind, created by Dommiel." Vincent replied, "Yes, it's a shame he lost his senses at such a young age." Peter said, "Young age?" Apple Bloom asked, "Yes, he's still in his early twenties, the rest of us are in our seventies and eighties." a blind man replied, the world's natives were sad, "How do you guys treat him?" Sandbar asked, "Tom's always first, he has the most disabilities out of all of us, we make sure he gets what he wants and needs." Jesus replied, "Was he the first patient to come?" Gallus asked, "No, he's the most recent, Volvox and Dommiel found him in the streets, so they took him in." Jesus replied, "What was he doing there?" Ocellus asked, "Left there to die by the others, it happens to every disabled person." Peter replied, the world's natives were shocked, "But... what about his family?" Silverstream asked, "Those who are disabled get disowned by them." Vincent replied, shocking the world's natives, "What? I would never do that, I would always be by my sister's side if she was disabled." Terramar said, "Unfortunately, that is not how things work in our world." Peter replied, "But what if they're disabled from injury?" Smolder asked, "They are still shunned by society." Jesus replied, "Yona want to know who runs government." Yona said, "The government is ran by hundreds of people on our world." Jesus replied, "Well, who's the head of the government?" Princess Celestia asked, "There are many heads of the government." Jesus replied, "Is there one that rules over all of them?" Princess Luna asked, "No." Jesus replied, another cart comes in with Big Macintosh pulling it, Sugar Belle was on it, "Sorry we're late, we have more treats, everybody." Sugar Belle said, and everybody lets Tom go first, "What would you like, Tom?" Sugar Belle asked, Tom sees with his mind and tries to use telekinesis on the pie he wanted, Sugar Belle gives it to him, Tom smiled and went to the disabled people, they helped feed him. The disabled men get food from Sugar Belle, a blind man walked over to get another one, "I'm sorry, but we're sold out for today." Sugar Belle said, "What kind of fruits are you using for your treats?" the blind man asked, "Many different types, I get them from the store." Sugar Belle replied, "Oh, you buy them? I thought you grew them on your own." the blind man said, "Usually, Ah'm the one who does the growin' with mah family, we're farmers." Big Macintosh replied, "I used to work as a farmer when I was a kid." the blind man said, the Apple family smiled. Granny Smith walked forward, "Do y'all have room for one more?" Granny Smith asked, "We're planning to have women in here eventually, Volvox needs the money to build the area for the mentally ill first, though." Vincent replied, "There's something I don't understand." Sandbar said, "What is it?" Jesus asked, "If you all are divided by race, gender, age, and social class, then how do you all have children?" Sandbar asked, "The males and females come together twice a month, during that time, they need to find a lover, if they do, they will be put into a special area where they can work together to have and raise the child, but they have to be the same race, age group, and social class of each other." Jesus replied, the world's natives were shocked by how orderly they were, "Where's Mr. and Mrs. Cake?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Sorry, they had to watch over their kids, and they have a super duper big order to fill out, they couldn't make it." Pinkie Pie replied, "Is everyone well fed?" Princess Celestia asked, "Yes." the blind and physically disabled people replied, the mute people nodded while smiling, they tap the deaf people and write on paper what Princess Celestia asked, "Yes." the deaf people said, "That's wonderful, but we have to go now, goodbye, everyone." Princess Celestia said, "Goodbye." the blind and physically disabled people said, the deaf and mute people waved bye at them as the world's natives left, everybody continues with their days. Volvox put his three heads into the floor of his throne room and appeared in Narcissus' office to watch him, he was having brunch, Narcissus was eating fruits, vegetables, and scones, he was drinking tea with it. Volvox was not happy with what he was seeing, he looks and sees Narcissus also had weight lifting equipment in his office, he did not have it since the disabled could not use them. He saw Narcissus take off his black tailcoat, white waistcoat, and white long-sleeve dress shirt, he was muscular, his muscles were not too big, but he was very toned. Narcissus goes to the newly added black pull-up bar and begins exercising, Volvox decided to back to making money with fake stories and continued working. Volvox writes fake stories and sends them with a transferring device to his world's government, they in turn would use their transferring devices to give him money, he needed twenty five billion dollars, after he finished that, he needed to find a way home, since the government does not accept cards or digital pay, it had to be cash and paid in person, they also had people and machines to check for counterfeit money. Volvox would take care of the disabled on his own, but he had to build his kingdom first, so he had Dommiel act as his eyes and ears when he was busy, while Jesus only cooked and fed them, made sure they were comfortable, and acted as a doctor, he had no knowledge or role in the business parts. Volvox sighs as he continues making up stories under several different names so the government would give him money if they liked the story to let that nonexistent person know they have their support. Jesus and Dommiel were outside and watching the disabled men as they played games, some played board games, some played ball, and some played cards. Dommiel wished they could have weight lifting equipment, but he knew that was very risky, he was especially worried about a blind man hurting himself with a barbell, the thought made him extremely uncomfortable. Play time ends and the men go to the tables outside to have lunch, "I'm sorry, guys, remember, that broccoli soup for breakfast was all there was." Jesus said, Dommiel walked to Narcissus' office and knocked on the door three times with his left fist, "Na-arse-cissus." Dommiel said, Narcissus put his upper clothes back on and sat in his chair, "Enter." Narcissus said, and Dommiel came in, he left the door open so the others could hear him, "Where did you sell the original food?" Dommiel asked, "To a hungry aristocratic family, they gave me the canned broccoli soup in return." Narcissus replied, "What about the drinks? I don't see any, not even water." Dommiel said, "I had to sell those away, too, I needed to sell them to buy me some workout equipment." Narcissus replied, Jesus and the disabled people look at Narcissus' office with disgust, the deaf people instantly knew something was wrong, "What about the water heater, what did you do with that?" Dommiel asked, "I sold that, too, I needed some way to pay for my hair care products." Narcissus replied, Dommiel was very angry, "What about the air conditioner, did you get rid of that, too?" Dommiel asked, "I had to sell it to buy myself a bathtub." Narcissus replied, "What happened to the water used for your bath?" Dommiel asked, "I sent it back to our world, I was merely borrowing it." Narcissus replied, "What else do you plan to get rid of?!" Dommiel asked angrily, "Those clothes the disabled wear after their showers, I'm going to need to sell them so I can buy a new transferring device that is gold and encrusted with diamonds, that filthy old one there will not do." Narcissus replied, Dommiel was full of rage, the blind, mute, and physically disabled people heard him, the blind and physically disabled were growling, Jesus and the mute men were angry as well, so was Volvox, who has been listening through the floor with his three heads, he had just enough restraint to prevent himself from killing Narcissus. Dommiel left and saw the world's natives coming over, they had more food and drinks with them, "Sorry we didn't come this morning, we had an order to fill out." Mr. Cake said, "We have freshly baked confectioneries here." Mrs. Cake said, and the disabled get their meals, they help guide one another. The disabled have lunch and Pinkie Pie was doing a show for them, it was a play about the three pony tribes united, Trixie was doing the special effects, the disabled clapped at what they saw and heard. Narcissus was not liking the play, and he found Pinkie Pie's and Trixie's voices to be very annoying. The play ends and it was almost evening, the disabled have dinner, while they were happy, the disabled were a bit disappointed the world's natives did not have meat, they finish dinner and they all went to bed. Another blizzard came at night and Jesus was going to use the blankets the Mane Six have left, but he saw they were gone, he realized Narcissus must have sold them. The disabled men begin shivering and breathing hard, they all go outside in hopes of getting warm, but they enter the blizzard. Flurry Heart was not tired yet and flying around, she saw Tom fall out of his wheelchair while on the way out, she became shocked and teleported to them, she tugged on John's right sleeve to get his attention, he looked at Flurry Heart and she pointed towards Tom. John became worried and ran to him, he realized Tom was not responding, "Everybody! Tom's not responding!" John said, the disabled people look at him and Jesus quickly ran to him to check his pulse, Dommiel and Volvox came out as well, Jesus shook his head when he looked at the others, shocking the others, Dommiel became enraged and ran to Narcissus' office, he banged on the door rapidly with his left fist, "OPEN UP, NARCISSUS!! COME OUT HERE THIS INSTANT!!" Dommiel yelled, Narcissus opened the door, "What is it?" Narcissus asked, Dommiel grabbed him and pulled him to Tom, "Check his pulse." Dommiel said, Narcissus checked his heart and wrist, "He's dead." Narcissus said, the world's natives hear him, they look at Volvox's kingdom with shock and horror, "Don't you know what you have done?!" Dommiel asked angrily, "I'm sure there's a reason." Narcissus replied, "Because of you cutting off the heating and rations, he died, you just indirectly killed one of them!" Dommiel said angrily, "Well, that's a shame, but my quest for a perfect physical appearance requires obtaining it by any means necessary, so this was a necessary sacrifice." Narcissus replied, "Necessary?! You're willing to kill other people just so you can look beautiful?!" Jesus asked angrily, "Stop your complaining, he was a commoner, there are many like him." Narcissus replied, "I've had enough of you, Narcissus, this is my kingdom, I decide on what it needs and what it doesn't." Volvox said, "You forget, Volvox, I'm a higher social class than you, it is illegal for you to fire me, boss or not." Narcissus replied, Volvox held him up with his telekinesis, Narcissus screamed as he was lifted, "No, but I can still kill you." Volvox said, Narcissus screamed in terror. The world's natives beg Volvox to wait and went to him, "Volvox, please, put him down, you will be worse than him if you take his life." Princess Celestia said, "How? He already killed one of my citizens, it'd be best if I get rid of him now." Volvox replied, "Volvox, please, forgive him." Princess Cadence said, "What? Forgive him? I say we take his life." Princess Ember replied, "Prince Rutherford agree." Prince Rutherford said, "So do I." Dragon Lord Torch said, "I do, too." Grampa Gruff replied, "Settle down, everybody, we always forgave one another, so why shouldn't we do it to him?" King Thorax asked, "Forgive him? Haven't you ever heard a life for a life?" Dommiel asked, "Wait, guys, don't do that, that'll only make things worse." Twilight Sparkle replied, Volvox was conflicted right now, "Wait, Volvox, let him go, I have an idea for his punishment tomorrow." Dommiel said, "What do you know about my doings to make this place better?" Narcissus asked, "You think I haven't been watching? I know everything you've done." Volvox replied, and he puts him down, Narcissus walked to the east, and then went back to his office with money in his hands, the world's natives leave, "Don't worry, our citizens, he won't be here again after tonight. Trust me." Dommiel said, the disabled people had hope and went back to their quarters, Volvox used his hellfire powers to warm them up, Volvox and Dommiel went back to their quarters. Volvox and Dommiel were ready to count their money, "What the?" Volvox asked, Dommiel saw the money they got was gone, Volvox burrowed his heads into the floor, he looks into Narcissus' office and saw him with the money, he was putting them on the transferring device, and typing where to send them, they got sent, the item he bought came onto the transferring device, it was a gold transferring device encrusted with white diamonds. Volvox was angry, he put his heads back on his body, "That's it, I'm killing him." Volvox said, "Wait, Volvox, let me do it, I want to make him suffer." Dommiel replied, "What? Why? It's a waste of time, why can't we just kill him now and be done with it?" Volvox asked, "That won't satisfy me, I've wanted to make him suffer for a long time." Dommiel replied, Volvox sighed, "Okay, but don't go overboard." Volvox said, and Dommiel used his powers to enter Narcissus' dream. Narcissus was dreaming peacefully, he was in a fancy house with aristocratic women around him, they disappear and Narcissus became shocked, "No! Where are you all going?" Narcissus asked, Dommiel decided to let someone enter his dream, Narcissus saw Trixie come in, "Oh, it's you." Narcissus said, "I demand answers for your behavior!" Trixie said, "The answer's no." Narcissus replied, "The Great and Powerful Trixie would like to know why you are willing to take the lives of others to further your own goals!" Trixie said, "Well, the Beautiful and Perfect Narcissus refuses to answer, filth like you are unworthy of being in my presence." Narcissus replied, Dommiel realized this was not going to work, so he took her out and put Rarity in his dream, "Now, this is someone worth speaking to." Narcissus said, "How could you? How could you sacrifice a life just so you can look pretty?" Rarity asked, "Don't you try hard to look pretty, too?" Narcissus asked, "Yes, but I don't risk or take other people's lives to achieve my beauty." Rarity replied, "Then you are not a true aristocrat." Narcissus said, Dommiel decided he has listened to Narcissus enough and changes his dream to a dark hallway. Narcissus was nervous about his dream, but he walked forward, ready to fight whatever was ahead. Narcissus walks forward and could not see anything, it was freezing cold, he was shivering, his teeth chattered as well. A blizzard appears in the dream and Narcissus' outfit disappeared, he screamed as he covered his groin, he walks forward and saw frostbites appearing on his arms and chest, Narcissus began panicking, "A mark on my beautiful and perfect body!" Narcissus said with fear, he ran forward and the blizzard stopped. Narcissus was in another dark area, his clothes reappeared on him, much to his relief, he walked forward and screamed in pain when he felt a cut on his right cheek, Narcissus panicked again, "A cut, on my face! A cut, on my beautiful face!" Narcissus said, Dommiel used his powers to light up the area, Narcissus was in a narrow hall with razor blades in the walls. Narcissus walks forward slowly while scared, he hears thunder and freezing rain began pouring down, "My suit! My million dollar suit!" Narcissus said with horror as his clothes got wet, Narcissus was very cold, he ran to get out as fast as possible, but every time he moved his arms while running, he cut his hands and arms, he screams from each cut, but he made it to the end. Narcissus was hyperventilating, "Please, no more." Narcissus said, he got up and walked forward, a bright white light appeared and Narcissus screamed, he looked away, "My eyes! I can't see!" Narcissus said, and he got back up and walked forward, he held his hands out, his right hand touches dots and felt a message in Braille, it felt like it said he had to eat and drink the stuff on the table in front of him, what Narcissus did not know was there was a bowl full of eyeballs on the table, and a glass filled with the rotten broccoli soup. Narcissus grabs an eyeball and chews it, he did not know what it was, he began gagging and spat it out, he grabbed the glass with the broccoli soup and drank it, he gagged again and spat it out, he coughed along the process, spilling the glass in the progress. Dommiel then decided to use his magic to affect him more, he made the wall in front of Narcissus disappear, it was pitch black again, but Narcissus walked forward. Narcissus wanders around blindly, he entered another pitch black room, Dommiel makes Narcissus hear the sound of gunshots and bombs, Narcissus covered his ears, Dommiel used his powers to make it so only Narcissus can hear it, he made aristocrats appear in the room with him, "Please! Make the noises stop!" Narcissus said, the aristocrats look at him, "The gunshots! The bombs! Make it stop!" Narcissus said, the other aristocrats looked at him like he was crazy, Narcissus screamed as he covered his ears, he screamed in agony and tried to cover his ears, it was not working, Dommiel makes a really loud exploding sound and makes Narcissus go deaf in his dream. Narcissus could not hear anything anymore, the floor under him opens and he falls into another pitch black area, he lands and both of his legs break, he screamed in agony when he was on the floor. Narcissus crawls forward blindly and could not hear a thing, Dommiel made sure his senses did not enhance in the dream. Narcissus keeps crawling and two smashers fall onto Narcissus' arms, breaking them, he screamed in agony, the smashers went up, "Please, I'm begging you! No more!" Narcissus said with tears in his eyes, but Dommiel did not listen, Narcissus was pushed forward with Dommiel's powers, he was scared. A choir was heard up ahead, but Narcissus could not hear it, so Dommiel made him hear it, Narcissus was happy, he tried to sing along, but could not, Narcissus realizes that he has gone mute, and Dommiel made him deaf again. The room changes around and Dommiel made Narcissus regain his sight, hearing, and voice, he sees the room was pitch black, it lit up and Narcissus saw Tom, but he had his arms and legs, he was not deaf, blind, or mute, either, "Tom?" Narcissus asked, Tom walked forward to him, "Wait, Tom, please, don't hurt me, I still have my whole life ahead of me." Narcissus said, Tom did not respond, he walked over to Narcissus, who's arms and legs were still broken, and thus, could not move. Tom walked forward to Narcissus and began punching him, Narcissus screamed in pain as Tom beat him up, Narcissus screamed and screamed as Tom punched and kicked him, he began bleeding, Tom proceeded to stomp on his back, Narcissus screamed in pain as he heard his own bones break. Tom proceeded to bash the back of his head several times with his fists, Narcissus screamed in pain, Narcissus was in shock in real life, he goes into cardiac arrest, he struggles to breathe while he holds onto his own heart with his right hand, he groans and soon dies of a heart attack in real life. Morning comes and everybody gives Tom a funeral, the world's natives attended as well, "What was all of that screaming last night?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "You guys didn't hear? Narcissus died last night, he had a bad dream, gave him a heart attack." Peter replied, "Whoa, that must've been one scary dream, then." Applejack said, "I don't know why, but I feel like someone changed my dream last night." Rarity replied, "Trixie felt the same thing." Trixie said, "Well, it wasn't me, as for Narcissus, the dream realm I control doesn't cover any other country except Equestria." Princess Luna replied, "We'll have to do Narcissus' funeral later." Jesus said, the disabled men groaned with disappointment, "Hey, you all still should pay your respects." Pinkie Pie said, "For what? He made the kingdom worse." a man with clutches replied, "That reminds me, where's Volvox and Dommiel?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "They're too busy at the time, they won't make it to the funeral." Jesus replied, "Too busy? What happened?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "They discovered last night that the money those two were getting so they can build this kingdom was stolen and spent by Narcissus." Jesus replied, the world's natives gasp, "He was also a thief?" Terramar asked, "Apparently, yes." Jesus replied, "So, what are you guys going to do now?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "We're going to try to get the things back, and we'll need to hire someone else, we're still short on staff." Jesus replied, "We'd be glad to lend our help, you kind people opened up your hearts to help those who are disadvantaged, they have to know that there are others out there who do care about them." Princess Celestia replied, the blind, mute, and physically disabled people smiled, "Well, let's go ahead and pay our respects now." Jesus said, and they all do. Volvox and Dommiel were busy getting money from the government again, they also took back the money Narcissus did not spend, "What do we do now?" Dommiel asked, "We get back what Narcissus sold, we do that before we try to hire anymore staff." Volvox replied, Dommiel agreed. Dommiel was happy Narcissus was dead, but while most people had limits on how much they made people suffer, Dommiel was not like that, he wanted to make Narcissus suffer more, because for him, it is never enough, but he decided to go on and help Volvox make more money. Volvox keeps making up stories and wrote to the government that he wanted money to pay to Narcissus' family, he got a note back saying Narcissus did not have any family left, as they all died several years ago from illness. Volvox was suspicious, because there was a list of Narcissus' family members on the paper as well, the date and time of their deaths were all the same, he wonders if something happened to them. Several days pass and the world's natives help Jesus take care of the disabled, Volvox and Dommiel make enough money to build the section for those with mental disorders. Dommiel goes to the world's natives on Volovx's behalf, "Guys, we have to return to our world now." Dommiel said, "Oh, I made a spell while I was at home, hold on, here we go." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the world's natives leave the kingdom, she casts the spell while the people in Volvox's kingdom and the world's natives say bye to one another, the spell works and they are returned home. Twilight Sparkle was inspired by Volvox's decision to help the disabled, she went to Princess Celestia, "Princess Celestia, Volvox gave me an idea, if possible, I want to make an area to take care of the disabled, too." Twilight Sparkle said, "That's a great idea, Twilight, people like them try very hard to help others, we should do the same." Princess Celestia replied, "But making that is going to cost a lot of money." Sunburst said, "No worries, Sunburst, I can handle the pay on my own, we'll get it built as soon as possible." Princess Celestia replied, "It's going to take a long time to build, too." Twilight Sparkle said, "If we all work together, then it shouldn't take long, let's get started tomorrow." Princess Celestia replied, and they all do. Everybody builds an area to take care of the disabled people in their world as well, everycreature was welcomed, including animals, they all start taking care of them. Several months pass and Twilight Sparkle was trying to cast another spell, but she messes up and makes Volvox's kingdom come back, everybody was happy to see them again, they look and were surprised by what they saw. Volvox had a section built to treat those with mental disorders, he now had people that were black, brown, yellow, and red in the kingdom as well, there was also females, and children, teenagers, and middle-aged people, he also had the upper-class and lower-class in the kingdom as well, Volvox had another section built to treat disabled animals as well. The staff was very big, there was much more people helping, and Jesus was still there, "Volvox, Dommiel, we're back at that place again." Jesus said, Dommiel and Volvox walk out to see the others again, "Welcome back, y'all." Applejack said, and they see the world's natives go to them, "Hi there, good to see you all again." Vincent said, "I remember that voice, how have you all been?" Peter asked, "Great, what about you?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Well, it took a while, but we finally got everything built, and a lot of people to help, the kingdom's complete." Volvox replied, "That's wonderful, we decided to start doing the same thing." Twilight Sparkle said, everybody there smiled except for the deaf people, "Do you all need our help again?" Fluttershy asked, "We do have a lot of staff now, but more help would be nice." Dommiel replied, "Let's go then." Twilight Sparkle said, and the world's natives went to go help. Granny Smith walked over to the physically disabled people and they welcomed her, "You hungry, too?" Vincent asked, "No, Ah thought Ah'd see some old friends." Granny Smith replied, and Vincent introduced the other physically disabled to Granny Smith, she talks about her life and they laugh and enjoy her stories. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were with the kids, they all had fun playing together, Pinkie Pie and Silverstream played with them as well, Fluttershy joined shortly afterwards. The world's natives befriend many of them and see all of the disabled people were actually very friendly, they talked about when the kingdom came into their world, and Narcissus, who no one liked, "I'm sorry to say this, but I wasn't trying to transfer you all here." Twilight Sparkle said, "It's alright, but we do have to head home, there are still more disabled people and animals we have to get." Volvox replied, "Alright, good luck, all of you." Princess Celestia said, they smiled, Twilight Sparkle casts the same spell and they are sent back to their world while they say bye to one another. Twilight Sparkle was happy to meet Volvox and his kingdom, it let her know that there were many other friendly people out there, she had the School of Friendship establish a special needs section for such students, she goes on to help the disabled people of her world and at the school for years to come.
Sci-FiVolvox was created by the Maker to watch Earth and direct the humans, even though he was the very first species to exist on the planet. Volvox watched the angels and demons get created, he befriended Dommiel, a demon, and now served as his right hand man, the humans were created afterwards. The Maker wanted Volvox to make the humans develop with either magic or science, both had downsides, science was going to be extremely advanced eventually, but it would take thousands of years to fully develop, while magic will be powerful at the beginning, it was a non-renewable resource, it will get weaker as the years went by, and would eventually be gone. Volvox decided to have the humans develop in science, he watched their science develop through history, during the ancient times, when other creatures roamed the Earth, Volvox befriended a ghoul named Giovi, who had knife blades to replace his severed hand claws. During the 17th century, Dommiel met the Count of Saint Germain, who developed time travel, he opened his portals throughout time with his mind. Dommiel also met a brilliant mind during the 18th century, it was a man named Tom, the apprentice of Leonardo da Vinci, who was a genius ahead of his time, and had great love for technology, the five came together. The five could not wait for the future, so the Count of Saint Germain opened a portal with his mind to go to the future, they went twenty five thousand years into the future, it was the year 27,286 AD, and they were still alive. Volvox was still called the emperor, and ruled the area, Dommiel was the general of the military, Giovi was a bodyguard to Volvox, the Count of Saint Germain was the world's historian, and Tom was the main scientist. The five look and see Volvox, Dommiel, and Giovi were called living fossils, "Look at that, we still live to this time." Dommiel said, "Yes, so do I, it says here I've gotten nanomachines to keep myself alive." Tom replied, "I like that, it appears coming here was a good thing after all." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Yup, come on, let's see how much science has progressed." Volvox replied, Giovi nodded while smiling and the five males look around. The five look around and were impressed by what they saw, electricity powered by the people's nervous systems, motion detecting devices everywhere for lights and security devices, bioluminescent candles with fireflies on them, soil powered technology, genetically engineered crops that fully grow with just one drop of water, pills that tasted just like the pictured food and drinks on them, it also had all of their nutrition, devices that can change the weather anywhere at anytime, faster than light travel and mail, vehicles that operate as automobiles, aircraft, watercraft, and spacecraft, they could also go underwater and underground, nanomachines within people's bodies that produce stem cells to heal them when they are injured, and increase their physical abilities, they also helped technology identify who they were, animals had devices on their necks that would translate what sounds they made into human language so they could understand them, the plants and bugs had societies of their own, so did the microscopic organisms, they all lived in peace. The world did not just have humans, it also had mutants, machines, and an extraterrestrial species, some people were a fusion of two or more of them. The five look and see the alien species was called devilgor, they were from the planet Salatun, they see they were all about eight feet tall, and were extremely muscular, they had dark red skin, while their abdomens, back of their thighs, calves, bottom of their tails, inner parts of their biceps, forearms, and palms were a somewhat dark orange color, they all had shoulders that were pointed at the sides, they had two big wings on their backs, the wing membranes were dark orange, while the parts with the bones were red, they had three fingers on each wing, at the end of each finger was a black spike, long black claws for their fingers, thumbs, and toes, three black horns, one on the sides of their head, and a third horn on their foreheads, like Dommiel's spikes on his helmet, they all had yellow-white canine teeth, which were pointed and looked like big needles, and were always exposed, along with their gums, and their heads were shaped like inverted triangles. Volvox sees those were all of the regular technology and aliens, he sees that the devilgors did not have any technology, but they made up by being physically superior to the humans, mutants, and machines. Volvox decided that he has seen enough of the regular technology, and he wanted to see the military technology, Dommiel was greatly looking forward to it. Volvox, Dommiel, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, and Tom walk together to see the military technology, they were in awe at what they saw, they saw the humans had bio-armor like the Guyver, they had real life Kamen Rider suits, but it was only Kamen Rider Ichigo and Kamen Rider Nigo. Tom was in awe when he saw Metal Gears, Metal Gear REX and Metal Gear RAY were being mass produced, the military was also mass producing the Shagohod. The Count of Saint Germain was excited to see the satellites around them had weapons on them as well, they could be used for kinetic bombardment, much to his excitement. Giovi was impressed to see lightsabers were now real, he was thinking about getting them to replace the knife blades he has for his claws, he also liked how the bows and crossbows were replaced with guns that shot out lasers beams, some shot out lasers that burned whatever it touched, he was especially impressed to see someone test shooting a rocket launcher that shot as fast as a machine gun. Dommiel was extremely excited to see a dark green flying tank was made, it was shaped like a tiltrotor, it had a tank turret at the top of each propeller end, above the four black obsidian blades on each wing, they shot together, missiles came out, the turret on the cockpit shot out a red oval shaped dart with a black tip, when it touched an object, the entire object would turn orange and explode, no matter how big or small, it had a fourth turret under the cockpit, it rotated three hundred sixty degrees, and shot out piercing bullets, that turret was a machine gun, the last weapon was on its tail, at the back, it was another turret, it had an alice blue oval shaped weapon with light blue electricity on it, it was tested and it shot out a white beam with light blue outlines, it destroyed whatever it hit, the testers than activated a cloaking device and it made the flying tank invisible, the testers than put twenty anti-gravity devices on its bottom, and they fly it to test it, it was a success, Dommiel was super excited, he wanted to use that flying tank and wreak havoc. Volvox walks around and sees the Tau Cannon from Half Life has been made, it had the Gluon Gun on it, it was a module, Volvox became especially excited when he saw the BFG10k from Quake II was real as well, he wanted to use it and shoot it everywhere, he saw jetpacks with shoulder mounted railguns as well, as well as wrist mounted coilguns, he was also interested in the grenades, because when someone held it out, the grenade will fly and home on whatever is in front of the lug, he was especially impressed with the landmines, because they had motion detectors in them, and beeped when someone was detected, and if that person tried to run away, the landmine will literally fly out of the ground and home onto the target and explode on them. The five keep looking around and see the world's citizens had technological devices to change their physical appearances to what they desire, they see the citizens no longer had to diet or exercise to stay in shape, they also see the people had touchscreen devices and footwear that allowed them to fly, they can see the footwear all had either rockets or anti-gravity devices in them to make them fly, while the touchscreen devices were connected to their minds, so they did not have to use their fingers to navigate them, what they wanted to say with their minds was also automatically texted onto the devices. Tom sees kids playing video games, they were all virtual reality, they had virtual reality board games as well, and old games that kids played before the invention of video games and computers could also be played by virtual reality. The Count of Saint Germain looks and sees the museum, he looks at it and was in awe, the other four go there and were in awe as well, they see the museum had every single artwork, fashion, architecture, cuisine, weapons, military uniforms, technological devices, historical figures, and historical events recorded in the museum, they also had the extinct animals in there as well, the five see the citizens were using time traveling devices to go back in time to bring historical objects into the museum, the Count of Saint Germain sees he was the one who came up with this museum, and made time traveling devices for the historians to use, the five smiled, and had flashbacks of their own pasts, they decided to go forward. The five keep walking around and the world's natives all bowed to them, they hear walking to their lefts and look, they saw real life Terminators, much to their surprises, a robot walks to them, "You five are needed for a meeting with the Council." the robot said, "Who were you, again?" Dommiel asked, "I am Grid, humanity perfected." the robot said in his emotionless and monotone voice, "I remember seeing you in a comic book, I didn't think you'd become real." the Count of Saint Germain said, "I am not like my comic book self." Grid replied, "How so?" Tom asked, "My comic book self longed for emotion, I do not wish to have emotion, since it clouds one's judgement." Grid replied, "Can't argue with that." Volvox said, the other four agreed, "I understand you five have come here from the past, we all know that, I will show you to the Council's room." Grid said, and they follow him. The five walk around and saw there were four cities, they were on the one that was on land, there was one in the sky, and another one underwater, the last city was in space, the five saw they lived in domes that had oxygen in them, they were all floating in space. Grid brings the five to meet the Council, they see there were two humans, two mutants, two robots, two aliens, two humanoid lions, two humanoid dung beetles, two humanoid shrubs, and a microscope that revealed two amoebas, each group had one male member and one female member. Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom sat in their seats, which had their names on them, "Emperor Volvox, our best scientists have made a new device that may allow us to travel to other parts of space, we need your approval to use it." the male humanoid shrub member said, "What does it look like?" Volvox asked, "It is a simple controller with a button, it will open a a wormhole by controlling microscopic quantum tearers, it will open a wormhole, and we fly into it." the female alien member replied, "Please understand, we're from thousands of years in the past, we just came here because of the Count of Saint Germain here." Tom said, "Yes, we understand, we predicted you five coming with numerology." the male robot member replied, "What else did you all predict with numerology?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "Well, according to our calculations, when we use that quantum tearing device, the wormhole is going to transfer us to an area in space we have never been before, the land below us will have life on it, it is very diverse, but the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs are the dominant creatures." the male amoeba member replied, "Very well, let's give it a try." Volvox said, the members of the Council were happy, "Now onto other important matters, our technology has been being disabled by these strange unidentified creatures, we don't know what to make of them." the female robot member said, "What do they look like?" Dommiel asked, "Small, red eyes, flappy ears, three fingers and toes, claws." the male human member replied, Volvox and the other four realized they were talking about gremlins, "What else can you tell us?" Tom asked, "They are being guided telepathically by their king, he seems to have some kind of psychic power, we're counting on you five, since you're our rulers, and said you would give your lives to protect us." the male mutant member replied, "I guess so, I always did believe my enemies would have to kill me first, before they attack my people." Volvox said, the members of the Council smiled, "Wait, so, there's no alien invasion to fight off?" Dommiel asked, "Not this time, we already had space pirates, Metroids, Predators, Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, The Thing, Xen, the Strogg, Combine, the Furons, Saiyans, Namekians, the Mooninites, the Plutonians, Kryptonians, Symbiotes, the Flood, the Great Diamond Authority, Brainiac, Thanos, and Darkseid, only Brianiac and Darkseid are still at large right now." the male machine member replied, "No killer robots or computers?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "You guys destroyed Skynet centuries ago." the female human member replied, "No mad scientist or doctor trying to make our species evolve through cruel and immoral ways?" Tom asked, "Dr. Challus was cryogenically frozen a few weeks ago." the male humanoid dung beetle replied, "No ancient or prehistoric animal being reawakened and causing havoc?" Volvox asked, "We cryogenically frozen the surviving prehistoric creatures a long time ago." the female humanoid dung beetle replied, "No virus or pandemic to survive against?" Tom asked, "Our nanomachines make us immune to all sicknesses and diseases in the universe." the male human member replied, "No mutated monsters from radiation spilling to kill?" Dommiel asked, "I think those gremlins actually are mutated from radiation." the male mutant member replied, the five became happy, "No killer plants?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "We already got rid of them." the female mutant member replied, "No creature created from dark matter?" Dommiel asked, "That hasn't happened, yet." the male human member replied, "No fighting in space wars with spacecraft or mobile suits?" Volvox asked, "That hasn't happened, yet, either." the female human member replied, the five could not think up of anything else, "Well, setting that aside, how are the cultures of the human species?" Volvox asked, "Ah, I am glad you asked, we no longer have any cultural clashes, we decided to take all of our cultures, traditions, customs, beliefs, and religions, and fuse them all into one culture." the male human member replied, the five were happy, "Do the mutants, machines, and aliens have their own cultures?" Dommiel asked, "Us machines do not have a culture, we just live the way we do, and do not have a religion, we believe in scientific knowledge." Grid replied, "What about the mutants?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "We were formally humans before we were mutated by radiation, our culture is the same as human culture." the male mutant replied, "That's a shame, I was hoping for some diversity." Dommiel said, "Me too." Volvox replied, "Well, us aliens have a different culture." the male alien member said, "Really? Do explain." Volvox replied happily, "We have our own music, similar to those of human tribes, we have shaman as well, our cuisine is all meat, we don't wear clothes due to our skin being strong and tough enough, we don't need oxygen to breathe, we can fly, and we have gills on our necks, so we can breathe underwater, we also have several devilgors working in space, we don't have any art or pottery, our cooking is the same as you guys, and we worship the god Azathoth." the male alien member explained, Volvox was very uncomfortable, he has met Azathoth in person several times, and they do not get along, "Are you aliens having trouble getting along with Earth's natives?" Volvox asked, "Used to, we get along now thanks to you." the male alien member replied, "I forgot, where was Salatun, again?" Tom asked, "You don't need to pretend you forgot, we know you guys are from the past, everybody does, Salatun is located in the Taurus constellation, we travel there and to the space station with light trains." the male alien member replied, "Wait, a light train?" Dommiel asked, "Yeah, trains that also act as spaceships, they carry people at the speed of light, it is very fast and very smooth." the female alien member replied, "Oh, like a Japanese bullet train." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Exactly, those bullet trains were actually prototypes of the light trains." the male human member replied, the five were impressed, "Say, where's Swamp Thing?" Volvox asked, "Oh, he's living with the other mobile plants, he's an adviser now." the female humanoid shrub member replied, "One more thing, what if we're transferred into a hostile area with that device?" Dommiel asked, "We have another dome under us, they'll see that one instead, it's also in space, so I doubt they'll reach it." the female human member replied, "Alright, let's test it." Volvox said, Grid went to a microphone, "Attention, everybody, the wormhole travel experiment has been approved, embrace for fast travel." Grid said, and everybody got into their homes, "Okay, here we go." the male mutant member said, and he pulls out a controller and pushes the button. The microscopic quantum tearers work and a wormhole was made. The cities, space station, and the dome under them with no one or nothing in it goes into the wormhole. Everybody travels at rapid speeds and soon come out on the other side of the wormhole, it closed shortly afterwards. Everybody cheered and they all look around, "It was a success." the male human member said, "Look, everybody, we correctly predicted where we would be." Grid replied, and he pushed some buttons to activate a screen that was big and high in the sky, he made them appear underwater, in the sky, and in space so the people living in those areas could see it as well. Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Starlight Glimmer, Sandbar, Ocellus, Gallus, Yona, Smolder, Silverstream, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Gilda, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, General Seaspray, Sky Beak, Ocean Flow, Terramar, Daring Do, Bulk Biceps, Mr. and Mrs. Cake, Pound Cake, Pumpkin Cake, Trixie, Cheerilee, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Filthy Rich, Spoiled Rich, Snips, Snails, Discord, Mayor Mare, Comet Tail, Night Light, Twilight Velvet, Bow Hothoof, Windy Whistles, Mr. and Mrs. Shy, Zephyr Breeze, Igneous Rock Pie, Cloudy Quartz, Limestone Pie, Maud Pie, Mudbriar, Marble Pie, Cheese Sandwich, Hondo Flanks, Cookie Crumbles, Granny Smith, Big Macintosh, Sugar Belle, Doctor Whooves, Roseluck, Derpy, and many more of the world's residents look up in the sky with surprise and confusion. They were all wondering what that thing in the sky was, "You think somebody could be living up there?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I don't know, but it's blocking out the sun." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Agreed, let's try pulling it down." Rarity said, "Hold on a sec, Rarity, that wouldn't be a very nice thing to do if someone is livin' in there." Applejack replied, "But it's blocking out the sun, there's no fun with no sun." Pinkie Pie said, "I must agree with Applejack, pulling it down by force would be impolite." Fluttershy replied, "But it's blocking out the sun, we should try communicating with them." Spike said, "I agree, hold on a minute, everybody." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she flies into the sky. Twilight Sparkle tries to fly up to the dome that had no one in it, she goes to the top of her world's atmosphere, she was about to enter space and began gasping and wheezing, she flew back down. Twilight Sparkle saw everybody looking at her, "It's no use, it's too high, everybody, I can't breathe up there." Twilight Sparkle said, shocking everybody, "Twilight, try using your Royal Canterlot Voice." Princess Celestia said, Twilight Sparkle realized she had it, and looked back, she flew up as high as she could, "EXCUSE ME!!" Twilight Sparkle yelled with her Royal Canterlot Voice, there was no response. Volvox and the others were watching and see Twilight Sparkle looking at them, they could not hear her, some of them were laughing a bit at the fact she was yelling at the fake dome with no one in it, they see her have a bewildered face, she decided to try using telekinesis and managed to reach it, but she could not pull it down. Princess Celestia grabbed it with her telekinesis and helped her pull it down, it came down and they put it northeast of Canterlot. The empty dome was pulled down and everybody gathered around to check it, Princess Celestia managed to open the top with her telekinesis, everybody gasped when they saw it was empty, "There's nobody in it?" Princess Ember asked, "Yak see something else in sky." Prince Rutherford said, they all look and gasp when they saw the actual civilization in space, even higher, "That thing is huge." Ocellus said, "Really high up, too, I don't think telekinesis is going to reach that one." Sandbar replied, "We can't fly up there, either." Smolder said, "Then how do we reach thing?" Yona asked, "Wanna try throwing some kind of note up there?" Gallus asked, "That sounds like a great idea." Silverstream replied, and she wrote a paper with a quill in her right talon, she balled it up, flew up as high as she could, and tried throwing the note, she was excited, but she became shocked when the note floated around in space, Volvox used his telekinesis to get the note and pull it in, he opened it and read it, "Hi, My name is Silverstream, I'm a hippogriff, and I want to meet you guys, so can you all please come down?" "What do the rest of you say?" Volvox asked, "Let's stay up here for now." Dommiel replied, "Yeah, we don't know if they're hostile or not." Tom said, the Council agreed, "Well, let's get you five ready to fight the gremlins, then." the male human member said, and they prepare for them. The next day comes and the world's natives look at the floating dome, there was nothing coming from it. The dome and space station blocked out Princess Luna's moon last night, which angered her, she flew up in the afternoon as high as she could, "I DEMAND A WORD WITH THE RULER!!" Princess Luna yelled with her Royal Canterlot Voice, the people in the space dome did not hear her, Princess Celestia used her magic to see if there were people living up there, she saw there was. Twilight Sparkle flew up with a megaphone and was beside Princess Luna to her right, "EXCUSE ME!! WE'D LIKE TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOU GUYS!!" Twilight Sparkle yelled into the megaphone with her Royal Canterlot Voice, it scared everyone in the world, the people in the dome did not hear her. Pinkie Pie got out a megaphone, "WE'RE CALLING YOU GUYS!! WE WANT ANSWERS!!" Pinkie Pie yelled, it moved the mountains, and scared everyone again, she could not reach them, either. The humans, machines, mutants, aliens, hybrids, plants, animals, bugs, and microorganisms get on with their days while Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom were being briefed about the gremlins, "Okay, guys, the Gremlin King has twelve commanders, each with a special power, their names are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces." the male human member of the Council said, "What are they?" Volvox asked, "Aries can control machines with his mind, he has technopathy. Taurus lives in this kingdom's AI system, he has no physical body, he's also a master of electrokinesis. Gemini is filled with parasites, so he can change his body parts into anything. Cancer is microscopic size, so you won't be able to see him, he's spreading some kind of sickness around. Leo is genetically engineered, so he can change into monsters, basically, he changes into Zoanoids from the Guyver, but you five get the idea. Virgo has bio-armor, he can basically change into a Guyver or a Kamen Rider. Libra is a living plant, he can control the plants as well. Scorpio is a master of the Force, he has psychic powers as well, he also wields a lightsaber. Sagittarius is an ancient gremlin, so he's bigger and stronger than the others, his body regenerates rapidly. Capricorn controls mobile weapons with his mind, he's in a mobile suit, we don't know which one, though, he's also a robot, he looks like those cyborgs from Mortal Kombat. Aquarius can breathe underwater, he also has enhanced physical abilities. Pisces is a mutated gremlin, he has to wear a special suit to survive, but the suit grants him pyrokinesis, hydrokinesis, geokinesis, and aerokinesis." the male human member replied, "Things just got a whole lot more interesting." Tom said, the other four agreed and smiled, "Only those thirteen gremlins are mutated, they lead smaller gremlins around and they cause trouble, we're counting on you five to stop them." the male human member said, "Leave it to us." Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, and Tom replied, Giovi just nodded and smiled, "Excuse me!" Pinkie Pie said on the glass dome around the main city, every citizen exclaimed with shock, the Council and Volvox look and see her floating in space, "We would like to have a word with you..." Pinkie Pie said, she gasped shortly and held her breath as she floated away from the domes, everybody was in disbelief at what they just saw. Twilight Sparkle looked at the space dome with her friends and students, Pinkie Pie hopped to them, "Pinkie? Where were you?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Elsewhere, I tried to contact them, Pinkie Pie style, but I didn't have much luck." Pinkie Pie replied, "Well, Pinkie is Pinkie, who knows what she did." Applejack said, "Hey look, Princess Celestia is trying something." Rainbow Dash said, and they all watch her. Volvox and the citizens see bright glares in their homes, Grid set up a screen and everybody saw the white sun was being controlled with telekinesis, they look and saw Princess Celestia was controlling it, she was looking at them with a neutral facial expression, "Should we see what she wants?" Dommiel asked, "Might as well, I don't think we have much of a choice." Volvox replied, and he uses telekinesis to lower the cities on the land, in the sea, and in the sky, he kept the space station in space. Everybody saw the dome coming down and cheered, Princess Celestia smiled as she watched it, everybody saw how big it was, which surprised them, it soon landed. The middle dome opens and a gray ramp came out, the Count of Saint Germain walked out, "Oh, what a lovely outfit he has on." Rarity said, the Count of Saint Germain walked forward and he saw Princess Celestia coming over, they landed on top of the dome that had no one in it, other natives of the world went to him, "You all contacted?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "Yes, you all are blocking the sun and moon for this land." Princess Celestia replied, "Oh, our deepest apologies, we got here through an experiment." the Count of Saint Germain said, "What? We tried calling for you guys." Twilight Sparkle said, "We didn't hear you." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Oh." the world's natives said, "I thought you all were ignoring us." Princess Luna said, "No, of course not, we didn't hear you guys calling us." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Just who are you?" Princess Ember asked, "I am the Count of Saint Germain." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Count? The clothes you're wearing look... out of date... compared to other humans I've seen." Starlight Glimmer said, "Oh... uh... about that, I'm a time traveler." the Count of Saint Germain replied, shocking everyone, "A time traveler?" Silverstream asked, "Yes, I'm twenty one thousand years from the past." the Count of Saint Germain replied, this made Starlight Glimmer skeptical, "You don't look like you're from that far in the past." Starlight Glimmer said, "I guess it's time dilation, then." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Time dilation? What in tarnation is that?" Applejack asked, "Well, it's a bit complicated to explain." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Can you give us the basics?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Time between two places moves differently, time moves faster or slower in one area than it does in another." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Wow, I've never heard of such a thing." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, it's common in books, it also appears we'll be here for a while." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Then take the glasses down, I believe you all may enjoy it here." Princess Celestia said, "Alright, but step back, our cities are going to expand." the Count of Saint Germain replied, and they all left. The Count of Saint Germain went back into the land dome and the ramp went up, he saw Tom and Grid working on floating screens, "Analysis complete, we are able to terraform and let our cities sit on the ground and in the water." Grid said, "Alright, here we go." Tom said, and the two press buttons to make their domes disappear. The domes go down and the land changes, they had a body of water now, the underwater city was there, the land city expands on went into the ground, the sky city also expanded, and continued floating in the sky, while the space station just remained in space with satellites around them. The world's natives gasped and looked at their country with awe, they had vehicles that can change from a car, into a boat, into a plane, communicating devices that were connected to their minds, the devices did what their owners' minds said, tubes for people who did not have vehicles to use, they used them to travel from one city to another, scopes that acted as binoculars, microscopes, and telescopes, medical equipment that could not only heal people in seconds, but also revive the deceased, and devices to create clones, and nobody used paper money or coins, they all used digital money on pretty much every single touchscreen device, "Oh my." Igneous Rock Pie said as he looked on from his farm. Everybody was shocked by what they saw, "Oh my goodness." Fluttershy said, "I could say the same thing, Fluttershy, I've never seen such technology." Twilight Sparkle replied, they saw Princess Ember fly to them, "Who's in charge here?" Princess Ember asked, "Well... there's twenty one rulers in our country." a male human replied, "Twenty one rulers?" Princess Ember asked, "Yeah." the human replied, "Who's the supreme ruler?" Princess Ember asked, "That would be the emperor." the human replied, "Take me to him." Princess Ember said, a big silver orb floats down to her and it disappears, she was shocked when she saw Volvox, she could not believe how big he was, "Who's contacting us?" Volvox asked, "Who's the emperor?" Princess Ember asked, "I am." Volvox replied, "What is this country?" Princess Ember asked, "Well, it's a bit complicated to explain." Volvox replied, "Is this magic?" Princess Ember asked, "Nope, all science." Volvox replied, Twilight Sparkle was very shocked when she heard that, she has never seen or heard of such science, it was all beyond her understanding, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence flew over, "If possible, I'd like to meet the other rulers." Princess Celestia said, "We're all right here." Dommiel replied, "State who you all are." Princess Luna said, "I am Darwin." the male human member replied, "And I'm Marie, we're the representatives of the humans." the female member said, "My name is Ivan." the male mutant member said, "I am Lizmarie, we are the representatives for the mutants." the female mutant member said, "Wait, mutants?" Princess Ember asked, "Yeah, they used to be humans until they came into contact with radiation and mutated." Tom replied, shocking the princesses, "What about the rest of you?" Princess Cadence asked, "I am T-1850." the male robot member replied, "I am Model X, we are the representatives for the machines." the female robot member said, "I am Grid, I am an adviser and technologist for the emperor, I am not a ruler." Grid said, the world's natives were excited to meet the machines, "My name is Zerbebuth." the male alien member said, "My name is Zancrus, we are the representatives for the devilgors." the female alien member said, "Devilgor?" Princess Cadence asked, "Extraterrestrials, there's life on other planets out there." Tom replied, the world's natives were excited, "My name is Cecil." the male humanoid lion said, "My name is Zira, we represent the animals who live in the country." the female humanoid lion said, Fluttershy was extremely excited, "I am Scarab." the male humanoid dung beetle said, "I am Sacer, we represent the bugs." the female humanoid dung beetle said, Fluttershy was excited again while Rarity exclaimed with shock, disgusted to see bugs in their government, "My name is Berberis." the male humanoid shrub member said, "I am Periwinkle, we represent the plants." the female humanoid shrub member said, the world's natives were surprised to see that plants were people as well, Twilight Sparkle wanted to study them, "I am Flagellum." the male amoeba member said, "My name is Cilia, we are the representatives for the microscopic organisms." the female amoeba member said, "Wait, microscopic?" Princess Luna asked, "There are some living organisms that are so small, they cannot be seen with the naked eye." the Count of Saint Germain replied, the world's natives were extremely surprised, Twilight Sparkle really wanted to study them, "What about you five?" Princess Celestia asked, "I'm Tom, I'm the top scientist and technician in this country." Tom said, "You all already know me, I'm also the country's historian." the Count of Saint Germain said, "I'm Dommiel, I'm the general and commander of the entire military." Dommiel said, it was silent for a few minutes, "Who is that guy there with the light blue skin and black hair and... knives on his hands?" Princess Ember asked, "Oh, that's Giovi, he's a bodyguard to the emperor, he doesn't talk, he prefers to let his actions do the talking." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "What's your name, emperor?" Princess Celestia asked, "Volvox." Volvox replied, "What do you do?" Princess Luna asked, "I approve of new technology, and I defend the country, if anyone invades, I'm the first line of defense." Volvox replied, "So, in other words, you lead from the front, I like that." Princess Ember said, Volvox smiled with all three of his heads, "Princess Celestia." Twilight Sparkle said as she flew to her, "I was thinking about having them attend the School of Friendship." Twilight Sparkle said, "That sounds wonderful, Twilight, spreading friendship far and wide sounds like a good idea." Princess Celestia replied, "School of Friendship?" Tom asked, "We are spreading friendship far and wide throughout this land, we'd be honored to spread it to other areas." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I'm not sure about that, friendship is usually earned, not given." Dommiel said, "The School of Friendship teaches to look past others' differences, and to accept one another." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Wait, does the school teach male bonding or female bonding?" Flagellum asked, "Both. Why the question?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Males and females bond differently." Zerbebuth replied, "How so?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Males bond through shared experiences, females bond through shared emotions." Marie replied, Twilight Sparkle was surprised, she never knew such a thing, Volvox looked at the citizens, "What do the rest of you say?" Volvox asked, the citizens agreed, "Sure, why not? I mean, we already have one foreign species living with us, I don't think having several more will do us any harm." Darwin replied, Twilight Sparkle and the princesses smiled, "Okay then, I'm going to need one of each kind to attend my school, I also need the rulers to come as well." Twilight Sparkle said, "I don't have time for this." Volvox replied, "Yeah, us five have a war to fight." Dommiel said, "A war?" Princess Cadence asked, "Creatures have been wreaking havoc in our country, we have to stop them, since we're the rulers, we're the first line of defense." Tom replied, "We'll be going, we check things out before we send the others." Zerbebuth replied, "Oh, well, I still need someone to represent the main rulers." Twilight Sparkle said, "Grid." Volvox said, "Ready to go, emperor." Grid replied, "Okay then, let's go." Twilight Sparkle said, and the council goes, Flagellum and Cilia use telekinesis to make their microscopes float up, and they move, much to the world's natives surprises, "Follow me." Twilight Sparkle said, and the members of the Council and Grid follow her, "Come on, let's get ready to fight the gremlins." Volvox said, the other four agreed and they leave as well. The Council and Grid go to the School of Friendship and sign in, Pinkie Pie was their first class, the Young Six were a bit unnerved by the robots. Pinkie Pie teachers her class, T-1850, Model X, and Grid just simply took notes while listening, "Hey, aren't you three having fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "We are not capable of experiencing pleasure." Grid replied, Pinkie Pie became extremely shocked, "Can't experience fun? Can't experience fun?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "Actually, we can't feel any emotion." T-1850 replied, shocking the students, "You guys have no emotions?!" Silverstream asked, "We see it as beneficial." Model X replied, "How?" Sandbar asked, "Lacking emotions has perfected our geniuses." Grid replied, shocking the students, "So... uh... what is your culture like?" Ocellus asked, "We do not have a culture." Grid replied, "No culture? What about beliefs?" Sandbar asked, "We believe in science and factual knowledge." T-1850 replied, shocking the others, "How do you guys move around?" Gallus asked, "We are powered by water, wind, the sun, the moon, and heat, we only need one to work, we have been programmed to have the beliefs and religions of the humans." Model X replied, surprising everyone, "Your monotone voices are creepy, even for me." Smolder said, "It is the way we sound, we have no control over it." Grid replied, "Moving on, what about you extraterrestrials, what do you guys do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Well, there's always arm wrestling." Zerbebuth replied, "Yeah, our kind like fighting." Zancrus said, Smolder and Gallus felt like the dragons and griffons were going to get along with them, while the ponies, changelings, and hippogriffs will not, and the yaks will be mixed, "Do extraterrestrials smash things?" Yona asked, "Yup, we smash our enemies' heads." Zerbebuth replied, shocking the students, "Yona meant as in smashing things like logs." Yona said, "Well, we don't do it for fun, we do when we build things, one thing we also like to do for fun is fighting tournaments." Zerbebuth replied, "Fighting tournaments? Count me in." Gallus said happily, "I want in, too." Smolder said, "Yona want in fighting tournament, too." Yona said, Sandbar, Ocellus, and Silverstream had shocked faces, "No, guys, think about the victim, it may be fun for you guys, but it's not fun for whoever gets hurt." Pinkie Pie said, "Don't worry, our hide is extremely tough, devilgors are the physically strongest and most durable species from Volvox's country." Zancrus replied, Zerbebuth smiled and nodded with his eyes closed, "Um, what are those spaces on your necks?" Silverstream asked, "They're gills, we can breathe underwater, too." Zancrus replied, shocking Silverstream, "So, you guys can fly... and breathe underwater?" Silverstream asked, "It's how we evolved, our kind are hunters, Salatun is as dangerous as prehistoric Earth." Zerbebuth replied, "Did you guys have a hard time when going to their home?" Ocellus asked, "It took a few adjustments, but it wasn't too bad." Zancrus replied, "No offense, but you guys look mean." Sandbar said, "Judging a book by its cover." Zancrus replied, "Yeah, don't let their appearances fool you, we were scared at first, too, but they turned out to be really nice and friendly people." Darwin said, "Well, what about you mutants? What do you all do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "The same things as the humans." Ivan replied, "What? No diversity?" Sandbar asked, "We were humans ourselves before we got mutated by radiation." Lizmarie replied, the students look at the two and see they had pale yellow skin and pointed ears, but other than that, they looked like humans, "Do every mutant look like you two?" Smolder asked, "Oh no, not at all, some have gills, some have wings, some have an odd number of limbs, some are hybrids of plants and animals, the list goes on." Ivan replied, the Young Six were shocked, "What do the animals do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "We hunt, we play games with our families, and we let our children explore, we haven't changed that much." Cecil replied, "How do you all live?" Sandbar asked, "The same, the lions still live in prides, the other animals still live the way they do, we have marine animals and avian animals as well, we also speak on their behalf, we used to hunt one another, but we now live together peacefully with the humans and other creatures." Zira replied, "So... you guys don't do any of the other creatures' activities for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Not really, we don't experience much fun, since we have spent centuries trying to survive." Cecil replied, "How did you guys become the way you are now?" Sandbar asked, "Selective breeding." Zira replied, "What's that?" Silverstream asked, "We won't go into detail, it's complicated." Cecil replied, "What do you plants do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Well, if we had to choose, it's being in the sun." Berberis replied, "Yes, the sun is great, especially in summer." Periwinkle said, "You guys don't play any games?" Gallus asked, "I can't think of one, we usually just stand in one place, and protect our living quarters from fire and other dangers." Berberis replied, "Alrighty then, what about you bugs, what do you all do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Nothing in particular, we've been busy surviving Earth for centuries, too." Scarab replied, "How many different bugs are there?" Smolder asked, "Millions." Sacer replied, "What are you guys?" Pinkie Pie asked, "We're dung beetles." Sacer replied, the world's natives were grossed out, "Dung beetles?" Silverstream asked, "What? Never heard of them?" Scarab asked, "No, but that sounds gross." Silverstream replied, "Sorry, but that's what we are, we use dung balls so our females can lay eggs in them, we eat them as food, too." Scarab said, grossing out every native, "You guys... eat poop?" Ocellus asked, "We've been eating it for millennia." Sacer replied, "Eww." the class said, the two humanoid dung beetles did not mind since humans found them gross many years ago, "Let's move on, everybody, what do you teeny weeny tiny winy little people do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "It's different for each type of microscopic organism." Flagellum replied, "What do you guys do?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Amoebas try to see who can become the biggest." Cilia replied, impressing the others, "Wait, none of you play music or sing?" Pinkie Pie asked, "The whales do, the birds also sing." Zira replied, "Plants usually don't sing." Periwinkle said, "The cicadas, grasshoppers, locusts, and crickets sing." Sacer said, "Nope, microorganisms don't sing." Cilia said, "Well, the devilgors do sometimes, we have taken a liking to rock and metal music when we came here, we do shaman-like chants when we sing, the music is usually done by beating sticks on the ground." Zerbebuth said, "Some machines are programmed to play music." Grid said, "Us mutants and humans play the same songs, we sing, too." Lizmarie said, "The same things?" Sandbar asked, "Yup, humans, mutants, and machines all share the same culture." Darwin replied, surprising everyone, the bell rung shortly afterwards, "Aw, that's too bad, I was hoping we could teach these creatures how to cook and how to party, but it seems we don't have the time, till next time, everycreature." Pinkie Pie said, "Come on, Fluttershy's class is next, this way." Sandbar said to the natives, and they follow him. Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom were getting ready to fight the gremlins, they saw flying cameras fly around while they walked, they discarded the things they were given to help fight the gremlins, "You know what? Let's see what the future past here is like." Dommiel said, "Good idea, let's give it a check." the Count of Saint Germain replied, and he opens a portal with his mind and they go through it. The five walk around and look at the timelines, they keep going and stopped with surprise, "Uh-oh." Volvox said, and they saw the gremlins have taken over the country, and the king was being carried around while sitting on a throne, "Let's try taking him out in the past." Tom said, "Good idea, let's see if we can find them." the Count of Saint Germain replied, and they walk through the area. The five arrive at the past and see the gremlins were aliens from another planet, they see the devilgors were slaves under their commands, they fought the gremlins and caused them to crash on Earth, they first appeared in Malta, the Middle East, and India in the 1920s, and the gremlins have been sabotaging human technology ever since just for fun, "Come on, let's get rid of them." Volvox said, the four agreed and they were about to go to the past, "No." Princess Celestia said as a yellow aura appeared on the five and they were pulled out. The five arrive in Canterlot and they see Princess Celestia standing in front of them, the aura on her horn disappears, "Do not take your fight to the past, you will end up messing up the present in this land as well." Princess Celestia said, "We were just going to take out the gremlins." Dommiel replied, "That doesn't matter, if anyone or anything sees you, you will alter history, so no, do it here and now." Princess Celestia said, "Are you the only one watching us?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "Not at all, every country is watching you guys." Princess Celestia replied, "Come on, guys, let's go." Volvox said, and the five walk back, while each step Volvox took shook the ground. The five arrive back in their country and they look for the gremlins, they see a law enforcement building and see every single part of the country was being tracked and watched with satellites, sonars, radars, and cameras, there was literally nowhere to hide. The five look at it while impressed, but they continue, "Okay, which gremlin should we take out first?" Volvox asked, "I guess Pisces, he doesn't really have any powers." Dommiel replied, "Yeah, all he has is a special suit, let's take him out." Tom said, the Count of Saint Germain and Giovi nodded. Explosions were heard and the citizens scream, the five look to see what was going on, they saw gremlins appear, they were small, "Look at that, they look just the gremlins from the 1984 movie." the Count of Saint Germain said, "That's a surprise, I thought they would look more like the one from the Twilight Zone." Tom replied, "Come on, guys, now's not the time." Volvox said, and they focused on the oncoming gremlins. The gremlins destroy whatever technology there was, "Go on, wreck havoc, my little minions." a male voice said, they all look and saw a gremlin that was bigger than the others, he was also humanoid with his body, "I am the Gremlin King, conqueror of Salatun, and the future ruler of Earth, this country is ours!" the humanoid gremlin said, "So that's our main target." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Yeah, too bad he doesn't have a crown, though, I was hoping we could knock it off of his head." Tom replied, the other four laugh a little, "There's the emperor, attack, my servants!" the Gremlin King said, and the small gremlins run and climb onto Volvox, they try scratching and biting him, it did nothing to him, "Ow." Volvox said sarcastically, he then used telekinesis to hold them in front of him, he shot an orange and white blast of fire out of his three mouths, the gremlins were destroyed. The Gremlin King screams with terror and ran away, "Oh, he runs away when he's in danger, I like that." Dommiel said, "Yup, that's a natural response." Volvox replied, "Still, how did you cast those hellfire breaths?" Tom asked, "I have glands in my mouth that allow me to shoot fire out, it's not just magic, but it does seem my fire is weaker than before." Volvox replied, the five soon hear fire being shot out, they look and saw a humanoid gremlin flying through the air with a jetpack, he had four fan blades on his palms, there was an oxygen tank on his back, and squirt guns on his forearms, he was wearing a silver suit, and had black acrylic glass over his eyes, "My name is Pisces, I am the genius of the gremlins." the humanoid gremlin in the suit said, and he flew to them with the jetpack, he had flames appear on his hand claws, "What the?" Tom asked, "Pyrotechnics have come a long way." Pisces replied, and he shoots fire at them, Tom and the Count of Saint Germain duck, while Dommiel and Giovi were out of reach, it hit Volvox but did no damage, he looks and saw his suit had flamethrowers on where his claws should be, Volvox was bored and shot more fire out his mouths, but Pisces' suit was fireproof. Pisces holds his arms out and fires the squirt guns, they see it shot out water at high speeds, it cut whatever it hit, the five noticed they were waterjets. Dommiel uses telekinesis on Pisces' waterjets and breaks them apart, Pisces growls and holds his hands out, the fans in his palms begin spinning at high speeds, it only blew small objects at them, the five were unimpressed, "How do you use geokinesis?" Volvox asked, and Pisces uses telekinesis to destroy the ground, Tom shook his head, "You suck." Tom said, Pisces gasped with horror, "This took a very long time to make!" Pisces said angrily, "Well, you didn't do a good job." the Count of Saint Germain replied, Giovi uses telekinesis and brings Pisces to him, he stabs the knife blades he had for his claws into Pisces' chest, he gasped and wheezed before dying, "I hope the others aren't this easy." Dommiel said, "Me neither, come on, let's take out the next member." Volvox replied, and they leave to take out the remaining gremlins. Fluttershy begins her class and was with Scarab and Sacer, "Now, everycreature, dung beetles live in forests and deserts, I know they sound gross, but the dung they roll is for their diet and to lay their young in it." Fluttershy said, the natives were grossed out, "Do you have any dung from herbivores or omnivores?" Sacer asked, "Sorry, but no." Fluttershy replied, "What's a herbivore?" Gallus asked, "It is a creature that only eats plants, omnivores eat anything." Fluttershy replied, "And carnivores eat only meat, that's what we are." Zerbebuth said, the animals became scared and backed away, "Sorry, but when we see animals, we think of food." Zancrus said, scaring the world's natives, "What about the rest of you?" Ocellus asked, "Humans are omnivores." Darwin replied, "Mutants are omnivores, too." Lizmarie said, "Depends on the animal." Cecil said, "Most plants feed themselves, but we need the sun to get nutrition, a few plants are carnivorous." Berberis said, "Some bugs eat meat, too." Sacer said, "Hmm, well, I guess we're carnivores, too, microorganisms eat one another." Flagellum said, "Oh dear, but I am curious, are there any animals that cannot be seen?" Fluttershy asked, "Of course, you've got the dust mites, spider mites, the demodex, bacteria, fungi, viruses, algae, protozoa, some arthropods, some crustaceans, some nematodes, certain cladocera, rotifers, the loriciferan, and the tardigrade." Cilia replied, "Wait, who are the representatives for the fungi?" Sandbar asked, "The plants represent them as well." Periwinkle said, "But they're not plants." Sandbar said, "We know, but they are distantly related to us." Berberis replied, "What are the animals on Salatun like?" Fluttershy asked, "Dangerous, one animal we all fear was the Gutter, it was fifteen feet tall, had many legs, like a millipede, but they looked like human legs, its body was like that, too, you could see its insides through its skin, it had a stinger on its back, and its head looked like a human baby's head with cyclopia, it ate us for food, it would have its victims hanging out of its mouth as well. The Gutter's breath was poisonous, it would kill anything that smelled it. It's called the Gutter because of its razor-sharp feet, its toenails are very sharp, it likes to cut the victim's abdomen and take out its insides, it would then go to the nearest fire to cook its victim, and kill anyone or anything that's there." Zerbebuth explained, "Oh my, that's scary, what else do you have?" Fluttershy asked, "The Kongamato is real on our home planet, another animal that's common is the Elsk, it's basically a giant eel, it enters the victims body through their orifices, usually the mouth, and it eats them from the inside-out." Zancrus replied, scaring the others, "Never mind, I don't want to know anymore." Silverstream said, "What about the rest of you?" Zerbebuth asked, everybody refused, including Fluttershy, "That reminds me, we didn't cover what you machines eat." Sandbar said, "We do not need to consume in order to survive." Grid replied, "Wait, you guys don't eat anything?" Smolder asked, "We don't drink anything, either." T-1850 replied, "Is there anything else you guys don't need?" Gallus asked, "Sleep." Model X replied, shocking everybody, "Let's change the subject, what kind of animals do you machines and mutants have?" Fluttershy asked, "Well, us mutants have the same animals as the others, but they're mutated, too, we have dogs with wings, deer with gills, a three headed cat, wolverines the size of a fly, rats the size of houses, you name it." Ivan replied, everybody was interested, "What about you machines?" Fluttershy asked, "We have animals that are machines, like us." Grid said, "Mechanical animals?!" Silverstream asked, "Would you like one?" T-1850 asked, "No! I want a regular pet!" Silverstream replied, "We adopt those, as well." Grid said, "What are the machine pets like?" Fluttershy asked, "Just like us, act on facts and logic, they too, lack emotion." Model X replied, shocking the students, the bell rung afterwards, "One more question before you all go, what do you mutants eat?" Fluttershy asked, "Same things as humans, and recycled waste, our bodies were mutated to digest them, it has gotten rid of most of the polluting problems, our koi fish are especially good at keeping the waters clean." Lizmarie replied, "Okay, that is all, onward to your next class now." Fluttershy said, "This way, guys, Rarity's class is next." Sandbar said, and they all go to her classroom. Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom were at an Italian restaurant close to Canterlot, Volvox could just barely fit in, "Well, Tom, Saint Germain, and Giovi, go on and order, Dommiel and I don't need nutrition to survive." Volvox said, "Why not?" Tom asked, "We were just made that way." Dommiel replied, and they just order spaghetti. The three eat without using the silverware, Giovi just slurped the noodles, they were almost done with their meals until they saw the Gremlin King was also in the restaurant, he appeared to be with a female gremlin, she looked almost just like him, but smaller, "They're selling this place to the dogs now, I've got something for you, Flibbertigibbet." the Gremlin King said, and he showed her a gold car hood with a diamond muffler, "Wow, it's lovely, daddy." Flibbertigibbet said, "Flibbertigibbet, I want you to think of me every time you see this, to let you know how hard your father works to show the other species' our superiority by disassembling their technology, I got this one to match your beauty, a high class of art like me and yourself." the Gremlin King said, Flibbertigibbet was happy, "Oh, no! The Gremlin King is a snob!" Dommiel said with his hands on his cheeks, everybody who heard him laughed. Princess Celestia overheard him from her palace, she stood on her balcony and looked at the country with disapproval, Grampa Gruff, Gilda, and the griffons were laughing, so was Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Garble, and the other dragons. Volvox and his four allies keep watching the Gremlin King interact with Flibbertigibbet, "My sweet daughter, I have put a charm on this piece, to make you love me as your father, no matter what." the Gremlin King said, the five except for Giovi exclaim with disgust, "I can't stand other males like that!" the Count of Saint Germain said, the Gremlin King looks at them and recognizes them, he screams with shock, "You guys are here, too?!" the Gremlin King asked with shock, "Daddy? What's going on?" Flibbertigibbet asked, "No time to explain, dear, let's go. Attack, my servants." the Gremlin King replied, and they run out. Small gremlins come out from under the tables and the people scream as they begin throwing the food and silverware around, some of them were making a mess in the kitchen. The five stood up and fought back, Dommiel just simply punched them with his fists, they died easily, the Count of Saint Germain used his saber to cut the gremlins, he also used his revolver to shoot the ones on the lights, Giovi cut them apart with the blades he had for his claws, Tom threw them around and they died easily from it, and Volvox was looking for one of the remaining commanders. The gremlins in the restaurant were dead and the four see they have made a mess, Volvox was looking around and saw plants burst out of the floor, "Quick, get out, we're going to go into the ground." Volvox said, and the other four ran outside while Volvox jumped out, through the ceiling. The five were outside and they see vines coming out of the ground. The ground bursts open and they hear cackling, they look and see a humanoid gremlin, he was a greenish-yellow color, "You face Libra, master of chlorokinesis, the flora bows to me!" the humanoid gremlin said, he was so big, all of the world's natives could see him, they were very shocked to see his powers, they have never seen anyone who could control plants. Libra makes Venus flytraps come out of the ground and were overgrown, they try to eat Volvox, but he just blew them apart with his fire breath, the Count of Saint Germain tries to cut the vines with his saber, but it did not work, the vines were too thick, Giovi could not cut through them, either. Dommiel and Tom look around for something to use to help them, they look and see a sword store to the south, but a little far, the two run and break a window, they take three swords and run back, they give one to the Count of Saint Germain. Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, and Tom activate them, Dommiel had a high frequency energy blade, it was shaped like a claymore, it had white energy on the edges and tip, it was also vibrating, the Count of Saint Germain had a purple energy blade, shaped like his older saber, its grip and guard were silver, and Tom had a red lightsaber with a black handle. The three cut the vines and Libra screams in pain as they were cut and he burned, but he quickly regenerated. Volvox looks around and saw Libra was being powered by the sun, Libra laughed at him, "Foolish mortals, plants are eternal." Libra said, "Swamp Thing, we need you." Volvox said, Libra smiled and showed Swamp Thing was also under his command, he begins to make the humanoid plants move around. The humanoid plants begin destroying the country's technology, the people screamed, the machines begin having lights of multiple colors flash rapidly in their eyes', the humanoid plants were not stunned by them. Volvox looks around and sees a lot of clouds in the sky, he uses telekinesis to move them and block out the sun from his country. Libra grunts and his powers weaken, "Should've had the plants attack us instead of using them to destroy technology." Volvox said, Libra was in complete shock, "I... didn't think of that." Libra said, the five shake their heads, "Please, don't put me in the cold." Libra said, "It's not the cold you should be worried about, it's the heat." Volvox replied, Libra became shocked. Volvox shoots fire out of his three mouths and burns Libra, he screams in pain, Tom places the lightsaber on Libra's plants to burn them. Libra keeps burning and he was charred, he falls onto the ground and was dead, "Okay, two down, ten to go." Volvox said, "Yup, let's upgrade our gear first, Giovi's blades aren't working." Tom replied, the others agreed, "Ahem." Princess Celestia said, and the five look at her, she was glaring at them, Volvox uses his telekinesis to move the clouds, the five leave and go elsewhere. Rarity was teaching her class and was uncomfortable with the dung beetles in her classroom, "I'm sorry to you two, but I am not comfortable having bugs in my environment." Rarity said, "It's not the first time, some people are scared of bugs." Scarab replied, "Not just bugs, people are also scared of animals." Zira said, "Well, let's get on topic, what kind of fashion do you all have?" Rarity asked, "Our species doesn't make clothes." Zerbebuth replied, surprising Rarity, "You all don't have fashion?" Rarity asked, "Don't have the time, we're being attacked by dangerous animals all the time, so we're busy defending our homes." Zancrus replied, "Did you all develop fashion when you went to their planet?" Rarity asked, "Nope, Earth has dangerous creatures, too." Zerbebuth replied, "I see, what about you mutants?" Rarity asked, "We're the same as the humans for now, but we're working on creating our own clothes, I mean, we are all different from one another in physical appearances." Ivan replied, the others smile, "What about the rest of you?" Rarity asked, "Animals don't have fashion, anything we wear is because the humans put it on us." Cecil replied, "Neither do the bugs." Scarab said, "Nope, plants don't wear clothes." Periwinkle said, "We're too small to wear clothes." Flagellum said, "The machines only wear clothes when in hostile and hazardous environments." T-1850 said, "You all don't have fashion?" Sandbar asked, "Nope." Model X replied, "It's okay, neither do we." Ocellus said, "You mean your species?" Grid asked, "Yes, we don't wear clothes." Ocellus replied, "I hate to interrupt, but we are not learning generosity." Darwin said, "Oh yes, of course, I would like for you all to share your supplies while designing your outfits." Rarity replied, and they do. Zerbebuth and Zancrus had trouble, Flagellum and Cilia did not work due to the supplies being too big for them to use, their telekinesis did not help them, Berberis and Periwinkle worked nervously as well, making sure a needle does not cut them, the students help them. The bell rung after a few hours, "Let's see what you all made." Rarity said, and she saw only the humans made clothes, the other creatures who worked made a mess, Rarity chuckled, "It's alright, dears, sewing took me a long time to master, too, onto your next class now, darlings." Rarity said, and they go to their next class. The students walk to class but they stop and look at Volvox's country, they see the destruction, "What's going on in your country?" Silverstream asked, "We're at war with a hostile species." Darwin replied, "Yona want know what species is." Yona said, "Gremlins." Ivan replied, "What are those?" Sandbar asked, "Creatures that cause mischief and sabotage technology, like the devilgors, they're aliens from other planets." Darwin replied, "Well, we don't really have that much technology, so we shouldn't have a problem with them." Smolder said, "We did notice you guys have trains, the gremlins are going to try to make it speed up and fly off the tracks." Marie replied, shocking the Young Six, "Can they really sabotage that train?" Gallus asked, "Of course, they destroyed our technology easily, so they'll be able to destroy yours." Darwin replied, "You guys have trains, too?" Silverstream asked excitedly, "More than that." Ivan replied, "What about you alien guys, how did you all get to the humans?" Ocellus asked, "Our planet was conquered by the gremlins, they would kidnap us and take us to their home planet to make us work as slaves, we tried to sabotage their spaceships to escape, but we ended up crashing on Earth, at first, the gremlins destroyed human technology, but they grew to like it, and started doing it as a pastime, they have caused several disasters, especially plane crashes." Zerbebuth said, "What's a plane?" Smolder asked, "Well, it's a vehicle that can fly." Darwin replied, "You all have flying trains?!" Silverstream asked excitedly while she flew in the air with her hands on her cheeks, "No, it's not a flying train, it's completely different." Darwin replied, "So, when did you natives find out about the gremlins and devilgors?" Ocellus asked, "March 27, 1977, Tenerife, Canary Islands, it was when the gremlins made the humans have the worst disaster in aviation history." Darwin replied, shocking the Young Six, "What happened?!" Silverstream asked, "There were two planes set to take off, the KLM Flight 4805, and the Pan Am Flight 1736, it was foggy that day, and more planes than usual were coming in because of a terrorist incident, which blocked the taxiway, and forced planes to taxi on the runway. Because of the fog, the planes and towers could not see one another, the gremlins used that chance to take out the towers' staff and take over the air controls, they ordered the Pan onto the runway, and then ordered the KLM captain to take off, he did, but due to the fog, he did not see the other plane, and they collided with one another and exploded, five hundred eighty three people died from the accident." Darwin explained, the Young Six had horrified faces, "Good Celestia." Sandbar said, "That's horrible." Ocellus said, "Did you all find out what happened to the staff?" Gallus asked, "They were found dead in the tower when Volvox and Dommiel went to investigate the crash, that was also when we learned of the devilgors and their enslavement to the gremlins, Volvox was nice enough to keep them in hiding from the gremlins." Darwin replied, Zerbebuth and Zancrus smiled. They all head to their next class but saw the Mane Six looking at them with shocked faces along with Spike and Starlight Glimmer, "I can't believe it, we have never had a vehicle disaster, I am so sorry." Twilight Sparkle said, "Come on, y'all, mah class is next, let's go." Applejack said, and they follow her. Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom walk around and upgraded their gear, since they were the rulers, and were at war, everything was free for them, Dommiel had a futuristic version of his armor, with the spikes and horns on his armor being made of lasers, the Count of Saint Germain replaced with his revolver with a phaser pistol, and it had a laser weapon under it as a secondary weapon, Giovi replaced the knife blades he had for his claws with small red lightsabers, and Tom had himself given bio-armor, "Alright, I can't wait to test these out." Dommiel said, "Me neither, these look fun." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Well, let's go, then, let's look for some gremlins to use them on." Volvox said, and they walk together. The five keep walking and see the gremlins were causing trouble already, they were destroying the technology, "Yes, keep going, my minions, destroy their technology, show these foul humans they are weaker and dumber than the devilgors." the Gremlin King said, they look and saw him on a giant humanoid gremlin's head, the gremlin was as big as Volvox. The Gremlin King sees them and becomes scared, "Get rid of them, Sagittarius!" the Gremlin King said, and he jumped off of him, he lands on the ground and runs away. Sagittarius roared at them, "Sagittarius mad! Sagittarius smash!" Sagittarius said in a deep voice, "And I thought you were going to be one of the last gremlins we'd have to fight." Volvox said, and Sagittarius ran to him while screaming. Sagittarius holds his arms out and was about to attack Volvox, but Volvox stood up on his hind legs and grabbed Sagittarius' hands with his front feet, and the two wrestle. The Count of Saint Germain tries shooting Sagittarius in his right calf with his phaser pistol to stun him, it did nothing, so he switched it vaporize mode, it burned him a little, but he instantly healed, the Count of Saint Germain was surprised and tried using the laser on his gun, it also had no effect. Giovi tries using his new lightsabers on Sagittarius, it also did nothing to him, so he tried using telekinesis to throw objects at his head, whatever hit him just broke and did not distract him, he tried to use his fire magic but could not, he exhales a little and tries to think of something. Tom activates his black bio-armor and had blades in his forearms, he tries to slash Sagittarius with them, it did nothing, he also tried the beams in his suit's red eyes and fires them at Sagittarius, it did nothing, his hide was too tough, so Tom tried using his lightsaber, he hit Sagittarius in his left leg, it did nothing, so he put it away, and began punching as fast as he could, the bio-armor increased his physical abilities, that also did nothing, Tom grunted with slight annoyance, he looks and saw the Count of Saint Germain was trying his laser sword, it also did nothing. Dommiel was getting used to his new armor and tried flying around with the rockets in his boots, his armor automatically locks onto Sagittarius, his shoulder pads open and fire missiles at him, it had no effect, "Cool, I have rocket launchers in my shoulders." Dommiel said, "Now's not the time, Dommiel, take him out as soon as possible." Volvox replied as he wrestled with Sagittarius. Dommiel focuses and he locks onto him again, the six spikes on his shoulders detach and fly around, they shoot pink beams at him, "Awesome! I can beam spam!" Dommiel said, and he decided to try something with the three horns on his helmet, they all shoot out a big blast, it obliterated whatever was in its path. Dommiel keeps testing out his new armor and the rocket boots go out, but a jetpack comes out of his scapulae and were anti-gravity, "Anti-gravity jetpack? Cool." Dommiel said, he felt something in his feet, his suit automatically locks onto Sagittarius again, his feet point towards him and Dommiel shoots a rocket out of each foot, this made him excited, he decides to see what else he has. Dommiel sees he had guns on his forearms, they aim automatically and fire hollow point bullets at Sagittarius, they bounce off of him, Dommiel discovers that was all he had, much to his disappointment, but he flies to Sagittarius and tries to slash him with his high frequency energy blade, it could not cut Sagittarius' hide, much to his shock. Volvox continues wrestling with Sagittarius and realizes not only was it going nowhere, but none of the new gear they got works against him, so Volvox jumped into the air with his hind legs. Volvox and Sagittarius go through the air and everybody saw them, causing some to gasp. Sagittarius was about to hit the road and some of the traveling tubes, but he lowers his legs and lands on the back perfectly, with his back bent at a ninety degree angle. Sagittarius moves his arms to his head and throws Volvox over himself, but he lands on his hind feet. Volvox jumps and launches himself back to where Sagittarius was at, he grabs his hands with his front feet, Sagittarius jumps and controls himself in midair and presses his feet against a skyscraper, he breaks the top of it and it falls down, Volvox lets go and Sagittarius flies back with the top piece of the skyscraper. Sagittarius crawls back to the other side and rolled to face upwards, Volvox was about to punch him with his right front foot, balled up into a fist, Sagittarius rolled to his right and dodged it, Volvox's punch broke the road, and left a giant crater in it, Volvox sees the other countries were watching, the griffons, dragons, and yaks were excited to watch the fight, while the ponies, changelings, and hippogriffs were not. Sagittarius stands back up and tries to punch Volvox with his right fist, Volvox ducks and Sagittarius hits another skyscraper, it left a crater in it, the skyscraper also fell and made other buildings fall like Domino's. Grampa Gruff, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Prince Rutherford, Garble, Gilda, and the rest of the dragons, griffons, and yaks cheered and stomped as they watched, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna watched with disapproval along with the other ponies, so did Queen Novo and Princess Skystar and the rest of the hippogriffs, Princess Cadence watched with worry, worried about the citizens, while King Thorax and the changelings watched with fear. Volvox tries to make his three heads burrow into the ground, but he could not due to it being a magical move, so he just grabs Sagittarius' sides and throws him onto the ground, Sagittarius grunted a bit, he looks and became shocked when he saw Volvox has jumped into the air, and was about to body slam him. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna had horrified faces at what Volvox was about to do, his size was going to break a lot of things in his country. Sagittarius throws Volvox off and he hits one of the tubes people were in for traveling, they scream as they fall out, Sagittarius jumps and snarls, he was going to slash him with his claws. Volvox turns around and uses the tip of his tail to impale Sagittarius, he screams when he got stabbed in the abdomen, the dragons, griffons, and yaks look away. Volvox turns around while swinging his tail with his body, he throws Sagittarius into a building, he uses his fire breath and destroys Sagittarius. The dragons, griffons, and yaks cheer at Volvox winning, while the ponies, changelings, and hippogriffs were not happy with him, he and his four friends leave to go take out another gremlin commander. Applejack teachers her class and was teaching them all honesty, "Be careful when y'all use honesty, it can hurt others' feelings if yer too direct." Applejack said, "Actually, about that, before us humans merged our cultures together, our views on honesty was different for each culture." Darwin replied, exciting the students, "You humans have more than one culture?!" Silverstream asked excitedly, "Used to, we merged them all into one." Marie replied, "What? Why?" Sandbar asked, "Humans have had hundreds of cultural clashes in the past, not just culture, religion and beliefs, too, so we decided to come together, take all of our cultures and religions, and fuse them into one, it stopped most of the cultural clashes, but there is still some, and some humans want the cultures to separate and individual again, as well." Darwin replied, "Seriously? You all fused your cultures together to avoid cultural clashes?" Gallus asked, "Wars have started in our history because of cultural and religious differences, the last thing we want is another war as long as the Iberian Religious Wars." Marie replied, shocking the natives, "Whoa, hold on a sec, y'all actually went to war against different beliefs and values?" Applejack asked, Darwin and Marie nodded, "In a way, that includes the mutants, too, since they used to be human." Ivan said, "Not just people, animals used to go to war, too, for food, expanding territory, dominance, and taking over territories." Cecil said, "Against people?" Silverstream asked, "Well, humans and mutants are animals, but no, other fauna, ants used to attack termites, hornets used to kill honeybees, and chimpanzees would attack neighboring chimpanzee groups." Zira replied, shocking the natives, "Well, back to the honesty thing, as we said, each human culture sees honesty differently, in some cultures, they value being direct and brutally honest, while other cultures value being honest, but using the right words so they do not hurt other people's feelings." Darwin said, "Trust me, y'all, Ah learned that the hard way." Applejack replied, "What about the rest of you, did you all go to war, too?" Ocellus asked, "Yup, the worst war we had was when the plants and animals of Earth went to war against one another." Berberis replied, "Yeah, several plants and animals went extinct in that war." Periwinkle said, "There was a three-way war with the animals once, it was a war between herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores." Zira said, "There has been several wars between microorganisms as well." Flagellum said, "When machines developed their own AI, a war between organic life and mechanical life broke out, Volvox had to get involved to stop it." Grid said, "Bugs go to war, too, same reasons as animals." Scarab said, "Yeah, it is to eat sometimes, too." Sacer said, "What about you devilgors?" Smolder asked, "Nope, it shocked us when we learned about human wars, our species have never fought our own species, we work together to survive, the only war we've had is with the gremlins." Zerbebuth replied, "Was it bad?" Sandbar asked, "Yes, we were shocked when we learned about the Holocaust, it was the exact same things the gremlins did to us." Zancrus replied, confusing the natives, "Is there anything else to learn about honesty?" Cilia asked, "Not really, but if y'all want to, y'all can watch me buck some apples." Applejack replied, the natives cheered, while the foreigners were neutral. Applejack kicks the apples while the natives cheered, the foreigners just watched stoically, "Ain't y'all havin' fun?" Applejack asked, "We eat apples, not kick them." Zerbebuth replied, "Y'all wanna try?" Applejack asked, the aliens shrug and Zancrus went first, she kicked one apple with her right foot, the apple and desk flew into the wall and cracked it, shocking the natives, "Guess I'll go next." Zerbebuth said, and he kicks another apple and desk, they also went into the wall, surprising everyone, Berberis and Periwinkle were uncomfortable, they did notice the apples looked like Red Delicious apples, which was liked by many. The bell rung after several minutes, "Have fun, y'all, onto yer next classes now." Applejack said, "Come on, guys, I think you all will like Rainbow Dash." Gallus said, and they go to her class. Volvox and his four friends were meeting a hybrid named Harvey, he was part human, part mutant, part machine, and part alien, he was about six feet tall, had slightly tan skin, an ectomorph body, toned muscles, an oblong face shape, and short black hair. The upper-right part of Harvey's face was robotic, made out of silver metal, and had a red slanted eye, his left cheek was alien with dark red skin, his human eye was blue, his right foot was a devilgor's foot with the claws for his toenails, while his left foot was robotic and silver, his right hand was robotic, and could change to a gun, his left hand was alien with the dark red and dark orange skin with black claws, he had the wings of the devilgors coming out of his back, they had silver robotic parts on them, gills on the sides of his neck, Harvey's abdomen was silver and metallic in some places, dark red with alien skin in other areas, and the rest was fine, and he had the devilgor's tail coming out of his tailbone, Harvey could make the three horns of the devilgors extrude from his head at will, it was one of the four mutant qualities he got, the other three were having telekinesis, telepathy, and technopathy, Harvey only had on one piece of clothing, a black pair of pants that were ripped at his lower shins. Harvey was from another world, he became a hybrid due to human experimentation, the world he was from had humans, mutants, machines, and aliens in it, the aliens were also devilgors. Hybrids were shunned by society, they were wanted dead by the government, and those who wished to live were slaves, everybody was divided by species, each one had discrimination, the humans had discrimination against white people, the mutants had discrimination against males, the machines had discrimination against the lower-class, and the aliens had discrimination against children. Harvey was a sympathizer for the hybrids, which made him kidnapped by the government and he was sentenced to death, but the head scientist of the world, Daraster, checked Harvey's genetic code, and took him in, he experimented on Harvey and made him into what he is now, he was trying to make Harvey into the Ultimate Being, but he broke free just before Daraster could erase his memory and brainwash him into believing he is Daraster's personal slave and assassin. Harvey fought the government and Daraster to free the hybrids, he met four allies, who were also sympathizers, they were Darwin, Ivan, T-1850, and Zerbebuth, the five worked together to fight for the hybrids' freedom and Harvey escaped to the world he was in now, in his early years, he met a woman named Orchid, who was from another world, but her world used magic, she controlled fire, water, earth, wind, and lightning. Harvey and Orchid had a child and named him Nick, having him was Harvey's idea. Nick did not have a happy childhood, his mother did not spend much time with him, and Harvey embarrassed him with the stories he told about his past, nobody believed him. When Nick turned eighteen, Daraster found Harvey in this world and killed him with poison, he also killed Orchid as a way of tying up loose ends, Darwin, Ivan, T-1850, and Zerbebuth were dead at that time. Before Harvey died, he told Nick about a house in the woods that he and Orchid built together, they put the things they wanted to leave behind in their old lives there, he told Nick about a portal that will take him to his home world, and for him to go there. Nick got kidnapped by Daraster as soon as he entered the world and received the same experimentation as Harvey, after a while, Nick went to Orchid's home world, and with magic and science, made an antidote, he went back in time and gave it to his parents, they survived the poisoning, and Nick went back to the present. Nick met a boy named Lance during his travels in his father's home world, he was also experimented on, Nick adopted him, and they have been close, Harvey now lives with the two and Orchid, even though her powers do not work anymore. Volvox was looking for Harvey's world, but did not find it yet, and he was seeing him for another matter, "So, you're saying if the reviews on the school is good, Nick will go there?" Harvey asked, "Correct, I might have Lance go there, too." Volvox replied, "Okay, that'll work, they drive Orchid crazy sometimes, also, is there a spot for me in the Council, yet?" Harvey asked, "Not yet, we need a female hybrid like you, first, before we can let you join." Dommiel replied, "Yeah, I know." Harvey said, "If you want to, you can be an adviser to us." Tom replied, "I'll think about it, I still have to watch over Nick and Lance." Harvey said, Nick had a square face shape, short black hair, and blue eyes, he wore the same outfit was his father, along with black mid-calf length boots, and a black leather jacket, Lance had a rectangular face shape, short black hair, and only wore black pants, he had the exact same mutations as Harvey, and did not hide them. They hear noises outside and go out, they saw Nick and Lance were already looking, "Where's your wife?" Tom asked, "She's still asleep." Harvey replied, "Hey, uh... dad, there's a gremlin there." Nick said, the six look and saw the Gremlin King, "That's the king." Volvox said, "What's he doing here?" Lance asked, "Let's check." Harvey replied, and he and Lance flew up, Nick makes his mutations appear, it was the same as Harvey's and Lance's, and he flew up. The eight look together and saw the Gremlin King was using a telescope, "Wow, look at those nine planets, they look like they're worth enslaving as well." the Gremlin King said, Harvey got an idea, "Hey, uh, sir, you're using the wrong one." Harvey said, the Gremlin King looked at him, "Wait, I am?" the Gremlin King asked, Harvey nodded, "Nick, Lance, get the smell-o-scope." Harvey said, the two nodded and they flew away, they came back with a big, black smell-o-scope, the two put it down in front of him. Harvey flew to it and adjusted it, "There, this will allow you to smell life on other planets, go on and give it a try." Harvey said, and the Gremlin King put his nostrils on the two scopes and inhaled. The Gremlin King gags at what he smelled, it smelled like a silent fart, "What is that stench?!" the Gremlin King asked, "You just smelled Uranus." Harvey replied, Volvox and the others laugh, so did the citizens. Princess Cadence walked out onto her kingdom's balcony and glared at Volvox's kingdom, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were glaring at them as well, the people in the School of Friendship also heard them, the members of the Council were laughing, with the machines pretending to laugh, Twilight Sparkle had a shocked face while Applejack shook her head, Rarity was also shocked, Fluttershy did not know how to respond, while Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie chuckled. The Gremlin King screams with rage, "VIRGO, GET RID OF THEM!!" the Gremlin King yelled, and the humanoid gremlin appeared, wearing bio-armor that was dark green on every area except his chest and abdomen, which was silver, the area of his eyes were a light pink, "I am Kamen Rider Gremlin." Virgo said while posing, the others were unimpressed, "Let's see what you can do." Tom said, and he activated his bio-armor. Tom and Leo run to one another and begin fighting, they were just punching and slapping one another for the moment, they were not doing anything for the moment. Virgo shoots beams out of a silver sphere in his forehead, Tom got hit, it burned his armor, but did no real damage, Tom shot blasts out of the sphere in his forehead, Virgo screamed in pain while part of his armor broke, Tom stopped and realized Virgo's armor was plastic, Tom looked at Virgo while bewildered, "No! That was my best piece." Virgo said as he looked at the armor from his abdomen, the others look at him disapprovingly, "What?" Virgo asked, "Upgrade your gear, poser." Tom replied, Virgo was very offended, he activates a jetpack and rockets in his boots to fly away. The five chase him while Harvey, Nick, and Lance stayed behind, they see him enter a turbine plane, they were not surprised when they see it might not big enough for Volvox to enter, but he tried after the other four did, he just barely squeezed in. The plane takes off and they see there were no passengers, "Wait, something's wrong." Volvox said, "Look, there are gremlins on the wings." Dommiel replied, they look and saw small gremlins taking the wings apart, Giovi ran into the pilot's room and saw the gremlins were operating the plane and laughing, he cut them apart with his lightsaber blades. The five look inside and saw no one was controlling the plane now, and they were very high in the air, they could see the space station, and to the five surprises, the plane was controlled with a steering wheel and had the three pedals of an automobile. Virgo laughs manically as he goes onto the window to block the view, "That's right! This was the plan, even you five can't survive a plane crash!" Virgo said, "Tom, quick, land the plane." Volvox said, Tom went into the pilot's seat and was shocked to see the many controls, "We don't have anything this advanced from my original timeline." Tom said, "Let me see it." the Count of Saint Germain replied as he ran into the room, he saw the controls, "Good god, I don't know how to control this, either." the Count of Saint Germain said, "What about you three?" Tom asked, Volvox, Dommiel, and Giovi shook their heads, Virgo laughs, "That's what you get from coming from the past, technology has progressed greatly, you five will never learn how to control them!" Virgo said, "Screw it! I'm going to have to wing it." Tom said, and he grabbed the steering wheel, and pressed down on the brake pedal first, the plane began to slow down, he switches to the driver pedal and the plane speeds up, he moves the steering wheel towards himself and the plane goes up, he moves away and the plane began to do a nosedive, "Okay, I can do this." Tom said, and he began to control the plane, Virgo was about to run off the plane, but Volvox uses telekinesis to hold him in place, he also turns him around for him to see what comes in front of him. Virgo screams as Tom speeds up, his entire armor breaks off from the high winds, Virgo screams while he got frostbites on his body. Tom dives down while accelerating, he pulled up just when he was about to crash into the road, the world's natives see the plane, and were very shocked, they have never seen such a vehicle. Tom keeps driving forward while Volvox held Virgo with his telekinesis, they see someone's house up ahead, Virgo screams while Tom keeps accelerating and Volvox jumps out of the top of the plane while using telekinesis on the other four to pull them out, the plane crashes into the house and explodes, killing Virgo in the process. The world's natives look at the explosion, those who could fly flew up and looked on with shock at seeing the fire. The five went down with Volvox's telekinesis, "Okay, let's find out whose house this is." Volvox said, and they all look, they saw the mailbox, they became shocked when they discover they have crashed the plane into Joseph Joestar's house, "Quick, let's get out of here before he finds out." Volvox said, and they quickly leave. Rainbow Dash tried to teach her class while her classmates talked about the plane crash, which she was curious about as well, "What was that thing that crashed over there?" Silverstream asked, "That was a plane." Lizmarie replied, "Oh, so that's what a plane looks like, it looks like it can carry people." Smolder said, "It does, they can hold every student in this school." Darwin replied, "That sounds like so much fun, I wanna ride in one!" Silverstream said, "You need money to enter." Zerbebuth replied, "Enough about the crash, guys, let's finish today's lesson on loyalty and teamwork." Rainbow Dash said, "Uh, we're already loyal to one another." Flagellum replied, "Yeah, I mean, we help one another with running the country." Sacer said, "How often do you break up your friendships?" Rainbow Dash asked, "That's actually never happened before." Darwin replied, "Oh." Rainbow Dash said, she did not know what to teach them, "Let's hear about you, you look like an interesting individual." Zerbebuth said, Rainbow Dash became happy, "I am a Wonderbolt, they are only the coolest group of fliers in Equestria, and I'm the personification of coolness." Rainbow Dash replied, "How so?" Zancrus asked, "I'm the only one who can perform the Sonic Rainboom, I save people from danger, I've saved this land several times, and I love fun things." Rainbow Dash replied, "Do you like fighting tournaments?" Zancrus asked, "Heck yeah." Rainbow Dash replied, "Then perhaps you would be qualified for our next fighting tournament." Zerbebuth said, "Count me in." Rainbow Dash replied, the others smile, "What do you guys do for fun?" Ocellus asked, "Same thing as you guys, make art, hang out, sing, play games, converse." Darwin replied, the bell rung afterwards, "This is the last class, everycreature, time for you all to head home, as for you aliens, come with me, Head Mare Twilight wants to have a word with you guys." Rainbow Dash said, and they all leave the class. The foreigners go to Twilight Sparkle's office, Spike and Starlight Glimmer were with her, "Did you all enjoy it here?" Twilight Sparkle asked, they all agreed, "Great, now that you guys have finished, I'd like to learn about your guys' culture as well." Twilight Sparkle said, "Uh, you do realize there are some you won't be able to learn about, right?" Flagellum asked, "How so?" Spike asked, "Well, first of all, our kind are microscopic, you can't see us with your own eyes." Cilia replied, "Don't worry, we developed a spell that does allow us to see you guys." Starlight Glimmer said, "It probably won't work." Darwin replied, "Why not?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "On our world, magic is a non-renewable resource, once it's used up, it's gone for good, but we discovered that magic came from nature, we destroyed nature to evolve, and magic is gone as well, so it is unlikely your magic will work in our country." Grid replied, "Oh, I see, I also brought someone over to help us understand your country better." Twilight Sparkle said, and they see Sunset Shimmer walk forward, "This is Sunset Shimmer, she's from another world of humans, she's going to go to your country along with us to learn, I was going to have Doctor Whooves come, but he has disappeared without a trace, again." Twilight Sparkle said, "Hey, guys, my name's Sunset Shimmer, I'm a friend of Twilight's, I live with humans, and know about your guys' technology, I'll explain things to them, and I hope we get along." Sunset Shimmer said, "Anybody else coming?" Berberis asked, "We're all going." Spike replied, "Oh yeah, Sunburst is coming, too, so is Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle." Starlight Glimmer said, "Let's go then." Darwin said, and they leave. The foreigners see Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Sunburst, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Sandbar, Gallus, Smolder, Ocellus, Yona, and Silverstream were together, "Alright, who are you new guys?" Lizmarie asked, "I'm Sunburst." Sunburst replied, "Ah'm Apple Bloom." Apple Bloom said, "I'm Scootaloo." Scootaloo said, "I'm Sweetie Belle." Sweetie Belle said, "Okay, this way." Darwin said, and they all walk together. Volvox and the other four went back to go see Harvey, Nick, and Lance, Orchid was still asleep, "How did that plane crash not wake your wife up?" Tom asked, "Well, if I had to take a guess, this world having no magic exhausts her even faster, her world was full of it." Harvey replied, "Speaking of other worlds, we haven't found yours yet." the Count of Saint Germain said, "I hope we can, Daraster still controls the government, the hybrids are still shunned by society and enslaved." Harvey replied, "I'll be going, too, dad." Nick said, he had on another black jacket and boots, his pants did not rip when he mutated, "I'll go, too." Lance said, "You've changed a lot, Nick, back when you were a toddler, you never wanted to spend time with me, and wanted to see your mom, but she always told you to see me." Harvey said, "That's because I didn't believe you back then, dad, all of this talk about these robots and aliens in the world, and people who were hybrids of them being shunned by society, along with experimentation, you embarrassed me to no end in school when you talked about them in class, but when I went to your world, I realized you were right, your stories were actually true, and I grew to regret not spending time with you before you died." Nick replied, "I showed Nick as well, I also told him about the beef my parents had with you, Harvey." Lance said, "Yes, I know, your parents agreed with society that the hybrids deserved what they got, those two were some of my worst enemies." Harvey replied, "If possible, I'd like to find mom's world, too, I had a lot of friends there." Nick said, "Yes, we know, we'll try to find it if we can." Volvox replied, Nick smiled. A phone implanted in the table between the five and Harvey rings, the future had telecommunication in everything found in the homes of the people, Harvey answers it with technopathy, "Hello." Harvey said, "This is Grid, analysis on the School of Friendship is complete, reviews are positive." Grid replied, "Alright, we already decided to have Nick attend." Volvox said, "Understood, the foreigners are now coming to our country to learn about us, we might cross paths." Grid replied, "Alright, thanks. Bye, Grid." Harvey said, "Bye." Grid replied, and they end the conversation. They hear walking and they saw Orchid come, she had pale skin, an inverted triangle face, green eyes, and red hair that was a bob and went just past her ears, she was wearing a long-sleeve shirt, pants, and shoes, she had on a cape that went halfway down her back, they were all a light beige color, she had five small jewels that were circular in the center of her chest on her shirt, they formed a star, the left jewel was a red ruby, the lower-left jewel was a yellow topaz, the lower-right jewel was a green emerald, the right jewel was a blue sapphire, and the top jewel was a purple amethyst, each jewel represented one of the five elements Orchid controlled, the ruby represented fire, the topaz represented earth, the sapphire represented water, the emerald represented wind, and the amethyst represented lightning. Orchid walked forward while stumbling around, "Who just called?" Orchid asked tiredly, "Grid, they were talking about sending Nick to a new school." Harvey replied, "Really? Tell them they have my approval." Orchid said tiredly, "I'm surprised you don't have any bed hair, mom." Nick said, "Not the time, Nick." Orchid replied tiredly, "You want to go back to bed, Orchid?" Dommiel asked, "No, I'm fine, but for some reason, I have almost no energy in this country, I think it might be due to the lack of magic." Orchid replied tiredly, "Well, we are in a foreign land with magic, right now." Volvox said, "I'll try my magic later." Orchid replied tiredly, and she sat to Harvey's left, "How long has she been like this, Harvey?" Tom asked, "Quite some time now, she usually has a lot of energy, though." Harvey replied, "I still wish mom would spend more time with me." Nick said, "I have no reason to, Nick, having you was your father's idea." Orchid replied tiredly, "So, you don't love me?" Nick asked, "No, Nick, I do, I love you in my own way, it's just I prefer to be alone." Orchid replied tiredly, "Oh." Nick said, "Do you love me?" Lance asked, "Well, I guess, I mean Harvey and Nick like having you around." Orchid replied tiredly, Lance smiled. Loud noises of things breaking were heard outside and the five go out, they look and see water spilling into the land, they look and see the underwater city was being attacked by gremlins. The gremlins entered through the tubes that led to the underwater city, they saw the Gremlin King leading the attack, Flibbertigibbet was there as well, "Yes, go, my servants, take out the tubes so we may have water on land!" the Gremlin King said, "Daddy, look at me." Flibbertigibbet said, she was destroying the oxygen machines in the underwater city, "That's my girl." the Gremlin King said, the humans and some of the mutants begin to suffocate, Volvox, Dommiel, and Giovi use their telekinesis to pull the suffocating humans into the tubes and out onto land. The Gremlin King sees them, "Aquarius, deal with them!" the Gremlin King said, he and the other gremlins begin to suffocate from the lack of oxygen, so did Flibbertigibbet, the five hope he would die, but he made it out with the tubes, which made them except for Giovi to groan with disappointment, Giovi just looked down. The mutants, machines, and aliens swimming in the water began to get attacked, they see Aquarius in the water, he looked just like any humanoid gremlin, "Give up, there's no escape." Aquarius said as he swam to the machines and began taking them apart. The Mane Six, Young Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and the Council see Aquarius attacking the people in the water. Darwin activated his bio-armor, it was black with red eyes, he dived into the water with Zerbebuth, Zancrus, T-1850, Model X, and Grid, Ivan, Lizmarie, Flagellum, and Cilia used their telekinesis to get the citizens out of the water, Ocellus and Silverstream changed into seaponies to help. Tom activated his bio-armor and went into the water with Dommiel, they were going to fight Aquarius, Volvox can breathe in water and space, but was too big to go to the underwater city, while the Count of Saint Germain and Giovi could not breathe underwater. Dommiel and Tom go to Aquarius and he sees them coming, "Tom, Dommiel, are you two here to play executioner? All five of you should've came." Aquarius said, "Let's see what you got." Tom replied, and he fired beams from his eyes, Aquarius swam around and dodged them, he swam towards them and tried to slash them with his claws, the two dodged him with some difficulty, "Finally, a challenging foe." Dommiel said, "Yup, this might be interesting." Tom replied, Aquarius smiled and swam towards them and continued to try to slash them, Tom and Dommiel decided not to use their weapons to make the fight fair, they try to attack Aquarius with their fists and feet, but they were too slow in the water, Aquarius hits them with his fists, the two grunt as they were pushed back, the water did not slow him down. Aquarius swam to them and continued punching and kicking them, Volvox was getting impatient and used telekinesis in the underwater city's museum of marine animals, they were cryogeneically frozen to be studied. He controls some of the marine animals telepathically, they break out of the ice and swim to Aquarius. Aquarius was winning against Tom and Dommiel, he was about to go to them, but got restrained by Ocellus and Silverstream, who grabbed his arms, "Hey, Aquarius, you do know what kind of dangerous animals lurk in the water, right?" Volvox asked, Aquarius looked at him with confusion. Aquarius hears swimming behind him, he looks and saw a megalodon swimming to him. Aquarius, Ocellus, and Silverstream scream in horror at seeing it, the three swim away and the megalodon chases Aquarius, Volvox was controlling it telepathically, Ocellus and Silverstream went back to the others. Aquarius swims frantically while the megalodon chased him, he hears roaring to his left and he looked, he saw a mosasaurus swimming to him, Aquarius became horrified and swam faster, he hears roaring to his right and he looked, he saw a basilosaurus swimming towards him, he screamed with horror and swam faster while the three ancient fossils chased him. Aquarius swam as fast he could, he hears more swimming and saw a dunkleosteus coming to him, Aquarius got scared and kept swimming, he heard growling in front of him and saw a sarcosuchus swimming to him, Aquarius swam as fast as he could while screaming and the five animals chased him. Aquarius panted and swam with terror while the five prehistoric animals chased him, the Mane Six run to where he was swimming and were scared of them eating Aquarius. Aquarius swam into a museum that was partially underwater, and the five animals could not get him, Volvox stops controlling them telepathically, the five animals began banging on the museum in hopes of breaking it, Aquarius climbed onto the top of the one of the ships while scared. Fluttershy sees the five animals and tried to call out to them, "They can't hear me." Fluttershy said, "Silverstream, get the hippogriffs here to help." Twilight Sparkle said, and Silverstream flew to her home, she came back with the hippogriffs and they turn into seaponies and go into the water, they tame the five prehistoric animals and bring them up to the surface, Fluttershy converses with them and they settle down, "We have never seen such creatures." Queen Novo said, "They're from our world." Darwin replied, "They're scary looking, we have whales from where we live." Princess Skystar said, "I'd like to know what they are." Terramar said, the hippogriffs agreed, Grid explained to them. Tom and Dommiel swam to where Aquarius went and entered the museum, they saw him on the wooden ship, they see it was a traditional ship. The two get on and control it, they go out and see they were sailing, "Volvox, let's end this." Tom said, and Volvox used his telekinesis to make the ship go faster and into the air. Dommiel found two sabers and threw one to Aquarius, the two begin fencing while Tom steered the ship, he was having trouble focusing because he wanted to watch the duel, but knew he had to focus. Dommiel and Aquarius move around the ship while fencing, the two were on the bowsprit and keep fencing, the two were not struggling. Dommiel hits the saber out of Aquarius' right hand and it went down, Aquarius lost his balance and fell, he screamed as well, Tom sees Aquarius land on the road and he died from the impact, "Tom! Skyscraper!" Dommiel said, he looks and he screamed with shock, the ship goes through the skyscraper and got stuck in it. Volvox, the Count of Saint Germain, and Giovi walked to them, Volvox used telekinesis to get Dommiel and Tom down, "Okay, one more, and we'll be halfway done." the Count of Saint Germain said, "No, wait just a minute." Princess Celestia said, she flew into their country and walked to them, "How did that happen?" Princess Celestia asked while she pointed her front left hoof to the ship that was lodged into the skyscraper, "Uh... technical difficulties." Tom replied, Princess Celestia glared at him, "I don't think so." Princess Celestia said, "It's possible, we do have vehicles that travel by land, sky, and sea." Dommiel replied, "Three separate vehicles?" Princess Celestia asked, "No, just one." Dommiel replied, Princess Celestia was surprised, "I see, but this better not happen again, you guys have been distracting us all day." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away, the five left to go hunt down more gremlins. The Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer arrive into the area where the humans live, the machines finished talking about the five prehistoric animals quite quickly, "Wow, what diversity." Twilight Sparkle said, "As we said, we used to have hundreds of cultures." Darwin replied, "Wait? What in tarnation?" Applejack asked, she noticed the weather was different in some areas, some areas were sunny, the farms had rain above them, and there was an area with snow, "What's wrong?" Marie asked, "The weather." Applejack replied, "Oh, you see, we managed to find a way to control the weather through cloud seeding, it took us hundreds of years to perfect." Darwin said, "Cloud seeding? What's that?" Rainbow Dash asked, "A form of weather modification, it changes how much precipitation we receive, we have more ways of controlling the weather than that." Darwin replied, "So you guys basically have your own weather factory like us." Rainbow Dash said, "Yeah, till a certain someone destroyed it." Applejack replied, Rainbow Dash became embarrassed, "Well, let's go on and show you guys around more." Marie said, and she takes them to a restaurant. The restaurant served cuisines of all human cultures, some they liked, some they did not, "Hmm, this is so good." Silverstream said with her mouth full, she was eating Japanese ramen with udon noodles, she slurped loudly as well. Silverstream kept eating the noodles and drinking the soup, she asked for more and more since she liked it so much, "Ma'am, please keep in mind we don't have an unlimited amount." the man who served her the noodles said, Silverstream nodded, she ate and drank more and stopped, she clutched her groin with her hands, "Where's the restroom?" Silverstream asked with an embarrassed smile, "Over there to your right." the man who served her the noodles replied, and she flew there, "How much did she eat?" Gallus asked, "All the bowls are right there." Smolder replied, Gallus saw ten bowls, Silverstream came back shortly afterwards, "Are you still hungry?" the man who served her asked, "No, I'm full." Silverstream replied, and he takes the bowls. Pinkie Pie was eating all of the desserts, she was enjoying them, "More please!" Pinkie Pie said, and they served her, she paid them all whenever she was served, the waiters and waitresses were happy to be receiving a lot of money from her, they were soon out, "Come on, everyone, we have more exploring to do." Twilight Sparkle said, and they leave, they look at the clothes and Rarity was excited, "I must say, what a diverse range of outfits." Rarity said, Scootaloo gasped when she saw humans flying, "You guys can fly?" Scootaloo asked, "Yeah, either rocket boots, or anti-gravity boots." Darwin replied, "I want one." Scootaloo said, "Which one?" Darwin asked, "I'll take the anti-gravity ones." Scootaloo replied, "This way." Darwin said, and he leads her to get boots, they took her to the mutant section and found a pair for her, they put them on her hind hooves after buying it, "Now, clap your feet together to activate them." Darwin said, and she does, she floats up, she did not know how to move, "Use your hind legs to control where you want to go." Darwin said, and she does, Scootaloo was elated, "Whoo-hoo!" Scootaloo said as she flew around. Applejack walks around and sees humans working on a garden, they plant a seed into the soil, and a woman makes one drop of water fall out of the syringe, it falls onto where the seed was buried, and it grew into a fully grown plant, "Hey! Wait a minute!" Applejack said as she ran to them, "That ain't how ya grow food!" Applejack said, "Well, it is now, these were developed because humans had a lot of famine throughout history." a man replied, "That ain't the proper way to grow food!" Applejack said, "How do you do it?" a boy asked, "The good ol' fashioned way." Applejack replied, "Do you guys have animals that eat your crops?" the man asked, "Well, the bats do eat our apples sometimes." Applejack replied, "What about natural disasters?" the woman asked, "We control the weather at our home." Applejack replied, "See, we didn't have those, that's why we developed these automatic growing seeds." the woman said, "That still ain't the right way." Applejack replied, "You sure? They're edible, too. Much better replacements to GMOs." the boy said, "GMO?" Applejack asked, "Genetically Modified Organism." the woman replied, Applejack was uncomfortable, Twilight Sparkle ran to them, "Please, I must know how these were created." Twilight Sparkle said, "Why are you all excited?" the man asked, "Because this place is amazing, and has piqued my curiosity, the science here surpasses all of the science we have." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Trust us, it took us thousands of years to develop the science we have now." the man said, "Please take me around, I wanna learn more." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they show her around while Applejack looked at the grown food uncomfortably. Rainbow Dash, Spike, Gallus, and Smolder were looking at the bio-armor, "That... is... awesome!" Rainbow Dash said, "Yeah, maybe Princess Ember will like one." Spike replied, "I sure would." Gallus said, "Me too." Smolder replied, and they keep looking at them. Sandbar and Yona were listening to traditional Scottish music, Pinkie Pie was trying German desserts, Rarity loved the fashion of the British aristocracy, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle were trying the rocket boots together, Sunburst was in the library to read human literature, Twilight Sparkle was with him earlier, Starlight Glimmer learned about the different histories of the humans, Silverstream flew up into the city in the sky, but was disappointed to see it was mostly the same as the one on the ground and underwater, and Sunset Shimmer was trying out their phones and computers, she was especially impressed with how they automatically change depending on what her mind said, a helmet was worn so the phones and computers could read her brainwaves. Everybody finishes up and decide to see the mutants' culture next. Volvox walks around with Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom, the five look around and see the day was rather peaceful, they were in the area where the aliens lived, they were getting ready for their fighting tournament, "Wait, when was the fighting tournament?" Dommiel asked, "It's tomorrow." Harvey replied as he went to them, "You're helping, too?" Tom asked, "Yup, I'll be participating as well." Harvey replied, "How about your family?" Volvox asked, "No, but Nick is coming to cheer me on." Harvey replied, the five smiled, "How's your wife?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "Orchid's still tired, Nick and Lance are helping her get around." Harvey said, they see Nick and Lance were guiding Orchid by holding her hands, Orchid had almost no energy, "How does Nick look normal after changing back?" Dommiel asked, he saw Nick's mutations remained after he exposed them when he changed, "The world I'm from has this special type of spray paint that paints artificial skin onto the hybrid, they use it to hide from the government." Harvey replied, "You got it for your son?" Tom asked, "No, Nick got it for himself when he went to my world." Harvey replied, "I see. How do you feel right now, Orchid?" Volvox asked, "Still tired, but not like earlier." Orchid replied, she was not speaking tiredly anymore, "I'm surprised you didn't get mad at Grid calling us and waking you up." the Count of Saint Germain said, "It's just how I am, it's hard for me to lose my temper." Orchid replied, "I used to think my mom raising her voice at me was her getting mad at me when I was younger." Nick said, "I didn't get mad, just slightly annoyed, I never truly did yell at Nick when he was a kid." Orchid replied, "Yeah, me neither, we never got mad at Nick." Harvey said, the five smile. Everybody hears cheering and they look, they saw the gremlins, they were operating a crane, there was a piece of cinder block being held up, the Gremlin King was dancing on it. Everybody watches while the gremlins cheer, but the Gremlin King loses his balance and begins to fall, the five, Harvey, Nick, Lance, Orchid, and the aliens smile, but was saved by a flying gremlin, they groan in disappointment. The Gremlin King hears them and sees the people watching, "Attack, everybody, you lead them, Leo." the Gremlin King said, "Okay, gremlins, let's go!" Leo said, and he flew up to the city in the sky, the small gremlins were looking at him disapprovingly, "Oh right, they can't transform like me." Leo said, and he flew down, he sees Volvox and flies to him while the small gremlins try to take apart the fighting arena. Leo flies to Volvox and transforms himself into a giant gremlin with four arms, he tries to lift Volvox up, but he was too heavy, he transforms into a spinosaurus and tries to bite Volvox, Volvox held his head back, and made the seven pointed bladed stars on his spine come off. The bladed stars bounced off of whatever it hit and cut them, Leo was hit by a few, he screams in pain, he transformed into a xenomorph queen to combat Volvox, the five were unimpressed, "What?" Leo asked, "You can transform into anything, right?" Volvox asked, "Yes, anything of my imagination." Leo replied, "Well, get more creative." Dommiel said, Leo was angered, so he transformed into King Ghidorah, the people in the country scream and run away, Princess Ember and Dragon Lord Torch looked on with shock at seeing the form of King Ghidorah. Leo shoots gravity beams out of his three heads at Volvox, he tries to lift him up, but Volvox shoots his fire breaths at Leo, while the scales protected him, his three necks got burned, "I'm still not impressed." Volvox said, "But this is the best I can think of." Leo whined with his middle head, "You have a unique power, and that is the best you can make, you disappoint me." Volvox said, "What do you want me to be?" Leo asked, "A necromorph." Dommiel replied, "I don't know what that is." Leo said, the five were shocked, they saw what they were when they traveled to the current time from the past. The seven pointed stars Volvox threw off of his spine go towards Leo, but they hit his body instead of his necks, and bounce off, Leo shoots more electricity out of his three mouths, but they miss Volvox, and hit the buildings, Volvox glared at him and was unimpressed, he shot fire out of his breaths and shot him in Leo's three necks, he screamed as his three heads came off, he changed back to normal, his head was decapitated from the rest of his body, "Okay, we're halfway." the Count of Saint Germain said, "I'm disappointed to be honest, I was hoping for them to be more challenging." Dommiel replied, Giovi nodded with agreement. Everybody hears a racket in the city that was floating in the sky, the four get onto Volvox and he jumps up there to see what was wrong. Everybody goes to the mutant territory next, and to their disappointments, it was almost exactly the same as the human area in terms of culture, "That's too bad, I thought you guys would be different." Twilight Sparkle said, "Remember, we were humans before we became mutants, so our culture is mostly human culture." Ivan replied, "Still, y'all could've made your culture a bit different from the humans." Applejack said, "We did, take a look." Lizmarie replied, and they all look, every mutant was different, some had more than one head, some had an odd number of limbs, some had wings, some had gills, some had fins, some had limbs that were bigger than the other, and so on, each mutant was different, "Oh my, you all really are diverse in your appearances." Rarity said, "Yeah, the plants and animals mutated, too." Ivan replied, "What happened?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Radiation spilling, some of us had mutants for parents and ancestors, too." Ivan replied, "How did the spills happen?" Apple Bloom asked, "Power plant meltdowns." Lizmarie replied, "Oh, I shouldn't have ate all of those sweets." Pinkie Pie said as she held her own stomach with her front hooves, "I don't think you want to eat what we eat." Ivan replied, and they look, they saw the mutants were eating plastic, glass, styrofoam, trash bags, and other objects that were inedible to humans, everybody was a bit bewildered, "Yona don't think those are healthy." Yona said, "It is for us, our mutations also changed our digestive systems." Ivan replied, "So, you guys eat trash?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Some of us, it helps, too, in the past, humans would throw plastic into the water, marine life would eat them and die." Ivan replied, Silverstream and Fluttershy were shocked, "That's so sad." Silverstream said, "Yeah, it was, we've been combating it." Ivan replied, "I think you all have been doing a good job, I don't see a single piece of trash in the water." Fluttershy said, "You guys still want to explore?" Lizmarie asked, "Nah, looks like there's nothing here." Gallus replied, "Yeah, it looks like the human's living quarters, too." Smolder said, "Hi, guys." a voice said, they look and saw the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Master Splinter come, the one who greeted them was Leonardo, "Oh, you five look so cute." Fluttershy said as she flew to them, "Back off, creep." Raphael said, "Hey, she's just greeting you guys." Pinkie Pie replied, "Sorry about him, he's always angry." Donatello said, "Like... always, dude." Michelangelo said, Raphael was getting angry, Fluttershy was getting scared, "Calm down, my son, you should know who the people are before you decide to combat them. I am Master Splinter, this is Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo." Master Splinter said, "Well, hi, I'm Twilight Sparkle, this is Rainbow Dash, that's Pinkie Pie, that girl in front of you is Fluttershy, this is Rarity, this is Applejack, that's Spike, this is Starlight Glimmer, this is Sunset Shimmer, that's Sunburst, that's Apple Bloom, that's Scootaloo, that's Sweetie Belle, this is Sandbar, that's Gallus over there, this here is Silverstream, that's Yona right there, this right here is Smolder, and that's Ocellus." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I need to study this world's species and material." Donatello said, "Those things look awesome, can I see them?" Rainbow Dash asked as she looked at their weapons, "If you want a beatdown." Raphael replied, Rainbow Dash became uncomfortable, "Say, do you guys have any pizza?" Michelangelo asked, "Uh, what's pizza?" Ocellus asked, "I guess that's a no." Leonardo said, "What happened to y'all?" Applejack asked, "My master was killed by the Shredder, I went to New York since I had no home after that, an accident happened and four baby turtles and radioactive ooze got sent into the sewer, I was mutated, I raised these four to be my sons, and trained them in ninjutsu, we had to hide underground due to no other mutants being around at that time, but now that we are in the future, and we are not the only mutants, we can roam around freely without scaring others." Master Splinter explained, "How old are you guys?" Rarity asked, "Actually, we're from the past." Leonardo replied, "Well, it's nice, but we have to get going, bye now." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go their separate ways, they hear Raphael groan angrily, "I hate the future!" Raphael said, the others look back, "Let's go to the next place." Sunburst said, "Okay then, our section is the closest one to here." Grid replied, and the machines lead them. Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom were in the city in the sky, everybody ran away screaming while the gremlins drove the vehicles, they were laughing as they chased after the natives. They hear the Gremlin King laugh as he drives a tank around, the citizens ran away, the Gremlin King keeps laughing but soon screams when he drives the tank off of the edge, it fell onto the ground. The Gremlin King comes out and sees the five looking at him, "Get them, Scorpio!" the Gremlin King said, and the five hear heavy breathing, they look and see Scorpio, he was another humanoid gremlin, he had on black armor, "Is that you, Darth Vader?" Tom asked sarcastically, the other four snickered, Scorpio held a black handle in his right hand, he activates it and a red lightsaber appeared, he was ready to duel, "I am the master of the Force." Scorpio said in a deep voice, Tom walked forward and activated his red lightsaber, he also made his bio-armor appear. The two began fighting with their lightsabers, they were just hitting each other's lightsabers and entering deadlocks for now. Tom and Scorpio move around while fighting and enter one of the traveling tubes, the two begin fighting inside the tubes, Tom's lightsaber burns and breaks the top of the tube, people fly out of it and scream, Scorpio burned and broke the bottom of the tube, more people flew out. Tom and Scorpio keep fighting while traveling through the tube, Scorpio soon flew out of the big hole at the top, Tom climbed out before he could go through it farther, the two were now on top of the tube. Tom and Scorpio continue fighting with their lightsabers, Scorpio holds his left hand out and begins to Force choke Tom, which makes Tom shoot red beams out of his eyes, they hit Scorpio's helmet, it distracts him and he stops using the Force choke. Tom was about to run and slash Scorpio with his lightsaber, but Scorpio grabs him, holds him over his head, and throws him onto the ground, he lands where the Council and natives were at, the world's natives gasp when they saw him. Tom got back up while Scorpio jumped down to him, the two fight more with their lightsabers while Tom's four friends arrive. Tom hits the lightsaber out of Scorpio's right hand and it lands behind him, Scorpio holds his arms out and shoots blue electricity out of his claws, which Tom dodged by ducking. Tom soon does a horizontal slash to his right with his lightsaber and hits Scorpio's helmet, it gets destroyed, along with his head, revealing gremlin and robotic pieces of his head while Scorpio's body fell over, "Look at that, he was a cyborg." Volvox said, "Excuse me, what's a cyborg?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It is when someone is part organic, part machine." Grid replied, surprising everyone, they all see Princess Ember fly to them, "Say, what is that sword you guys are using?" Princess Ember asked, "It's called a lightsaber." Tom replied, "You can have his." Volvox said, and Princess Ember took it, she saw it burn and cut whatever it touched, Twilight Sparkle was uncomfortable with such a weapon being real, "Say, I can get used to using this." Princess Ember said while smiling and she flew away. The alarm goes off and Grid makes a holographic screen appear with his hands, "Problems in space, Capricorn is coming to invade." Grid said, "Let's get some Gundams then." Volvox replied, "We already have a vehicle for you guys." T-1850 said, "Yeah, this way." Model X said, and they lead them, the five were surprised to see the flying tank again, "Whoa, I didn't think a flying tank would exist." Sunset Shimmer said, "Well, it does, this took a lot of time and money to make. Go in, you four, and I believe you can jump into space, Volvox, my files say you and Dommiel can breathe in space." T-1850 said, "Wow, you guys really did do your homework, let's go." Volvox replied, and he jumped into outer space while the four used the flying tank, it turned invisible when it flew, Tom piloted it, it also came with instructions on how to control it. Twilight Sparkle and the others arrive into the section where the machines lived, they were all different sizes, shapes, and colors, they had Terminators in the area as well, along with androids, cyborgs, and artificial intelligence computers, "Whoa, this is like something out of a video game or a movie." Sunset Shimmer said, "Not a book?" Model X asked, "Well, maybe a picture book." Sunset Shimmer replied, "I can't believe something like this can exist." Rarity said, "Yeah, I never imagined this, either." Starlight Glimmer replied, they look around and see the machines had no cuisine, no fashion, no art, and so on, they did not have a culture, "What do you guys do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "We were not designed to have fun, we were designed to work, make the world a better place, and to help others." Grid replied, "Can we leave? I don't like this area." Pinkie Pie said, "Sorry, Pinkie, but we have to learn." Twilight Sparkle replied, Pinkie Pie looked down and they walked together. Everybody sees the machines working twenty four seven, and were making weapons and vehicles, they also see machines studying medicine, and treating the sick and injured, "How are y'all powered?" Applejack asked, "Each machine is powered by something different." T-1850 replied, "How do you guys not overheat?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Automatic cooling systems." Model X replied, "Do you guys have any video games?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "We do not make them in this section." Grid replied, "Where are they sold, then?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "In the human and mutant areas." Flagellum replied, "Can we leave? This place is making me uncomfortable." Silverstream said, "Yona uncomfortable, too." Yona said, "Me too." Sandbar said, the others agreed, "I thought you guys would at least have machines that make music." Sweetie Belle said, "They are in the other sections." Grid replied, "So, y'all don't do anything for fun?" Apple Bloom asked, "As we said, we cannot feel, so trying to experience pleasure will be pointless to us." T-1850 replied, shocking the others, "We also embrace our lack of emotions." Grid said, "What? Why?" Sunburst asked, "We have watched the organic creatures, and saw emotions cloud the mind when making decisions, our lack of emotions have perfected our intelligence." Model X replied, "But a world with no emotions is boring." Pinkie Pie said, "Maybe to you, but not to us." Grid replied, "Come on, we still have five more to check." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go to the next area. Volvox was in space while his four friends were in the flying tank, they were surprised when they saw there was no space junk around the space station, they also see their satellites orbiting around, they were recording what was going on in the country. The flying tank had its cloaking device activated, the Count of Saint Germain saw their kinetic bombardment satellite was around as well, which made him happy. Everybody hears flying and saw mobile suits coming, they looked like Zakus, "Go, Capricorn, take them out!" the Gremlin King said over a radio, "Understood, your majesty." Capricorn replied in a robotic voice, the five look around and saw one of the mobile suits was red, the five shook their heads. The mobile suits held their arms out and began shooting beams out of their fingers and thumbs, there were hundreds of beams due to the amount of mobile suits there were. Dommiel flew out of the flying tank and quickly closed the top of it so the other three do not fly out and die in space, Dommiel floated around and made the six spikes on his shoulders come off with his mind, they shoot big beams out and destroy whatever they hit, also to his happiness, they destroyed whatever was behind his targets, so several mobile suits were destroyed, "Unexpected casualties, changing plans." Capricorn said in the red mobile suit, the five then remembered Capricorn was a robot. The mobile suits do a pincer attack onto the flying tank, Tom makes the bottom turret spin around counterclockwise and fire, it destroyed the mobile suits in one shot, Tom was curious and checked the bottom turret he was using, he saw it had a grand total of a trillion bullets, Tom was still nervous about the gun overheating, but he continued to fire. Giovi operated turrets that were above the propellers, one button made the two turrets fire at the same time, he pressed the button down with telekinesis, he hit whatever was in front of the turrets, the two missiles destroyed the mobile suits in one shot, he sees he had five hundred missiles in each turret. The Count of Saint Germain was ready to use the top turret and weapon on the tail if necessary, they see a mobile suit flying towards them, the Count of Saint Germain pushes a button and fires the top turret, a dart shot out and hit the mobile suit, the entire mobile suit turned orange and exploded, he was confused on how it worked. Volvox fired his fire breaths and destroyed whatever he saw, and Dommiel fired missiles out of his shoulders to destroy more mobile suits, the red one was the only one left. Capricorn flies towards them and Tom fires the machine gun of the flying tank, Capricorn controlled the red mobile suit with his mind, "It's too fast." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Yeah, it's three times faster than the others." Tom replied, "Volvox, look out, he's coming for you!" the Count of Saint Germain said, Volvox sees him and Capricorn was charging towards him, he shoots red beams out of the mobile suit's one eye, it hit Volvox in the chest, but did no harm, "Wow, guess they're weak." Dommiel said, "It is because you all started designing mobile suits recently, it is still in the early stages." Capricorn replied from inside the mobile suit, "Well, in that case, why don't we have someone fight you in there?" Volvox asked, and he lures Capricorn to the flying tank. Volvox swims in space and was going back into the atmosphere, the flying tank and Dommiel followed him, they arrive back in the atmosphere and they see everything was fine. Tom opened the top of the flying tank, he also made it visible, Volvox looked inside, "Want to fight him, Giovi?" Volvox asked, Giovi shrugged, "Alright then." Volvox said, and he uses telekinesis to pick Giovi up, he puts him into the mobile suit by a hole at the top of its head. Capricorn had a silver robotic body, and red eyes, he hears Giovi enter from behind, and he turned around. Giovi looks at Capricorn and sees he looked a bit like Triborg, but he ignored it, he tries to slash Capricorn with the lightsaber blades he had for his claws, Capricorn moved around and dodged them easily, he had enhanced physical capabilities. Capricorn shot red beams out of his eyes, which Giovi dodged, Capricorn then shot missiles out of his shoulders, which Giovi dodged by running around, he slashed Capricorn in the chest with the lightsabers on his left hand, it burned him, he did not react due to his inability to feel pain. Capricorn's right hand changes into a gun and he fires a blue and white blast out of it, Giovi realized it was a sonic cannon, Capricorn continues firing at him, he was destroying the inside of the mobile suit, Giovi dodged them with ease and he cut Capricorn's abdomen with the lightsabers on his right hand. The mobile suit began to fall and the microorganisms and mutants used telekinesis to bring it down softly, the world's natives were shocked to see it. Giovi tried to slash Capricorn and he dodged each slash, the two walk out and were on the mobile suit, they were fighting one another, the world's natives went to go look at the mobile suit since they were curious, Volvox also watched, he held himself up with his own telekinesis. Capricorn trips and falls since he was not paying attention, Giovi was about to finish him, but he lifts his right foot up and shoots a missile out of his foot, Giovi moved his upper body to his right and dodged it, he then stabbed the lightsabers on his left hand into Capricorn's head, they hear electricity crackling. Capricorn was still moving, so Giovi stabs the lightsabers on his right hand at where Capricorn's heart should be, more electricity crackled, Capricorn was still functioning, so Giovi used telekinesis to tear him apart, wires and bolts were everywhere, Capricorn shut down after that. Giovi exhaled and regrouped with his four friends, "Alright, two thirds of the way done." Dommiel said, "Yeah, come on, day's almost ending, let's take out the other four." Volvox replied, and they walk together, "CAPRICORN!! NOOOOOOOOO!!" the Gremlin King yelled, the five see him on a roof, Volvox breathes fire from his three mouths and the Gremlin King jumped down while screaming, he ran away, the five shrug and leave to take out the remaining four gremlin commanders. Twilight Sparkle and her friends arrive at the alien area, it was a bit like Yakyakistan, "Ooh, Yona feel like she at home." Yona said, "We noticed that from space, your country does look a bit like our way of living." Zerbebuth replied, "You guys live in tipis, too?" Ocellus asked, "Not always, we usually live homes made from hardened mud and feces, we need some way to protect our homes from the dangerous fauna of our home planet." Zancrus replied, "Ooh, I see instruments." Pinkie Pie said, they look and saw human woodwind and brass instruments, "Oh yeah, those are from human culture, we decided to give them a try." Zerbebuth replied, "Their culture is how the humans were able to bond with the devilgors, their culture is like a mixture of Native American and African cultures." Darwin said, "Yes, but we don't have fashion, dancing rituals, or war paint, but our art and religion and beliefs are a bit similar to the Native Americans and Africans." Zerbebuth replied, "We did like human history a bit as well, our favorite historical figures from human history are Hiawatha, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and Galvarino." Zancrus said, "We used to live in tribes, too." Applejack said, "You guys as well?" Zerbebuth asked, "Yeah, unicorns, Pegasi, and earth ponies didn't live together back then." Rainbow Dash replied, "Fusing your cultures together must've been hard." Zerbebuth said, "Not really, we used the Fire of Friendship to unite our tribes." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Unfortunately, forging friendships is not that simple for most species'." Darwin said, "Yeah, I had a hard time getting along with other dragons." Spike replied, "Us ponies had a hard time getting along with griffons, too." Rainbow Dash said, "Oh, so you guys do know." Marie replied, the Mane Six, Young Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Sunburst, and Spike nod, "Come on, we'll show you our culture." Zerbebuth said, and he leads them, the world's natives were happy to learn. The aliens greeted them kindly, they were trying the instruments the humans played, and had trouble, "Sorry, we're still learning how to use them." Zerbebuth said, "Ooh, we have these instruments, too, I can teach." Pinkie Pie replied, the aliens smiled and Pinkie Pie taught them, they were already improving playing the woodwind and brass instruments, they were improvising due to them not having lips, and their teeth being exposed at all times. The aliens play their drums, which the world's natives visiting them enjoyed, especially Yona, she felt right at home. Prince Rutherford was on a mountain and saw her having fun, he could not help but smile. The aliens continue playing music for them, "Unfortunately, since we're not on Salatun, we cannot share our cuisine." Zerbebuth said, "It's okay, I do like the music." Twilight Sparkle replied, the others agreed, "Yeah, it's fun, but we have to go now." Pinkie Pie said, "Alright then, the animal area is next, this way." Zira replied, and they follow her. Volvox helps the space station clear the space junk with his telekinesis, they finished rather quickly, he and the other four keep walking. The five arrive into the bug area and see the bugs were living peacefully, they hear whirling sounds and saw cyphers with guns on them flying around, "Oh, they must be here for security reasons." the Count of Saint Germain said, "It would make sense, most of these bugs would die by just getting squashed on." Dommiel replied, the five walk forward carefully not to step on any bugs, Volvox was especially careful, he would use his telekinesis to make himself float around, but he was already blocking the path for the flying bugs. The five walk slowly so the bugs could move away before their feet touched the ground, they were surprised there were no human sized humanoid bugs in the country like Scarab and Sacer. The five hear screeches and see bugs crawling forward with a pink organism on them, Volvox uses telekinesis to get them off, he notices they were parasites, the regular gremlins run into the country and began attacking the bugs, they hear laughing and saw the Gremlin King walking into the country, another humanoid gremlin was with him, he had light pink skin on him, his eyes were yellow, and he had yellow eyeballs all over his body, "Every bug, meet Gemini, time for you pests to die, this is what you all get for keeping me up at night with your buzzing." the Gremlin King said, Gemini walked forward, "Attack me if you want, you will die." Gemini said in a deep voice, the cyphers begin shooting at him, the security cameras in the area also had machine guns on them, they shot at Gemini as well. Gemini changes his body around and makes organic blades come out of his back, he fires them and destroys the cyphers and cameras, he makes four more come out, but they were connected to tentacles. The Count of Saint Germain looks at the small gremlins under Gemini's control and noticed something wrong, their eyes' glowed orange, he shot his phaser pistol to stun and knock out the small gremlins, one tries to jump onto him, he cut his head off with his laser sword, the gremlin began to mutate, a parasitic lump with an organic tentacle and blade came out. Gemini tries to stab the Count of Saint Germain but he cut them with his laser sword, he soon slashed Gemini's abdomen and right chest, "Fool, you damaged the nest." Gemini said while smiling, crab-like parasites crawl out of Gemini's body, they go towards the bugs and begin attacking them. Liquid nitrogen is shot to freeze them, the five look and see the country's military has arrived to help, they had weapons like flamethrowers, but froze things instead of burning them, "What the?" Volvox asked, he watched the soldiers freeze the bugs as well, Gemini grows to a massive size with his body being fused to the ground, he was big enough for the world's natives to see, they were shocked and horrified to see a parasitic creature. Volvox shoots his fire breath at him and burns him, Gemini snickers since it made more parasites come out of his body, the Count of Saint Germain tried firing a stunning light from his phaser pistol, it did nothing to Gemini, so the Count of Saint Germain changes it to vaporize mode. Gemini made the tentacles in his back extend and he began shooting organic spikes at him, the Count of Saint Germain cut them with his laser sword, Dommiel and Tom cut them as well, Giovi was busy getting the crab-like parasites off of the bugs with Volvox. The Count of Saint Germain runs closer to Gemini and shoots the phaser pistol, Gemini screamed as he was vaporized, the parasites from his body also stop, "Okay, only three more." Dommiel said, "Yeah, this has been taking longer than I thought." Volvox replied, "Let's take a break, I'm a little tired." Tom said, the other four agreed and they rest. Everybody arrives into the area where the animals live, Fluttershy was excited, she saw the humans had mostly the same animals as they did, "This way, I know what animals will be happy to meet you all." Cecil said, and he leads them. Everybody arrives at a herd of capybaras, they run to the Mane Six and the others. The capybaras began laying down with them and licking them, Smolder and Gallus were unhappy while the others were, "Oh, you all are very friendly, I wish I could adopt all of you." Fluttershy said, "There are also several animals that are one of a kind, humans called them cryptids, they're over there." Zira said, and they all see Bigfoot, Hibagon, Yeti, the Loch Ness Monster, Goatman, a Moa, a Junjudee, Sinkhole Sam, and a Skunk Ape, "The extinct animals are over there, most of them are robots, the original ones in the past were too wild to be brought here." Cecil said, Fluttershy and Silverstream were excited to see them. Twilight Sparkle saw the Titanoboa and screamed at the top of her lungs and backed away in fear, they all saw what she was scared of, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Spike, and the Young Six screamed in terror at seeing it and ran away. Rainbow Dash and Applejack looked at it, "That sure is one mighty big snake." Applejack said, "Biggest one that ever lived." Cecil replied, "I am so not scared of that." Rainbow Dash said, "What about this one?" Zira asked, and she showed Rainbow Dash a robotic megalania, Rainbow Dash became scared, "This is the megalania, ancestor of the komodo dragon." Zira said, "Wait, that thing's a dragon?" Smolder asked, "To humans, it was back then, it's a lizard now." Zira replied, "You all see those birds over there?" Cecil asked, and everybody did, Fluttershy was excited and flew to them, "That's what they used to look like." Cecil said, and he pointed to his left, everybody saw the dinosaurs, it scared them, "What are those?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Dinosaurs." Cecil replied, "Those actually look cool." Rainbow Dash said, "I agree, I'd like one of those, too." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Can we go? They're scaring me." Fluttershy said, "Wait, Yona want to meet yaks." Yona replied, "This way." Zira said, and they follow her, Yona sees the yaks from the human world were not like hers, "Yak has no culture?" Yona asked, "Well, they do, but it's probably different from what you're used to." Cecil replied, "What's that?!" Silverstream asked excitedly as she pointed her right talon to a marine animal, "That's a seahorse." Cecil replied, "Wow, you guys have seaponies, too?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Not seapony, seahorse, the males give birth instead of the females." Cecil replied, the others were interested, "Is it okay to go to the next area? The day is close to over." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, I guess, come on, our area is next." Berberis replied, and they all go to the plant area. Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom were done helping the bugs recover from Gemini's attack, and were resting in the microorganism area, the microorganisms were using telekinesis to get around, there were microscopes everywhere so those other organisms can see them, "How and when did microorganisms learn psychic powers?" Dommiel asked, "I have no clue." Volvox replied, "Probably radiation and evolution combined." Tom said, the other four agreed. The five hear the microorganisms screaming and they look through the microscopes, they saw a small humanoid gremlin multiplying and destroying them. They hear laughing on a building and see the Gremlin King, "Go get them, Cancer, not even those five can get you." the Gremlin King said, Volvox shot fire out of his three mouths, but missed, the Gremlin King ran away screaming, he then tried to shrink himself to microscopic size, but could not, "Darn it, I can't shrink myself." Volvox said, "Emperor, the shrinking collar is in front of you." a microscopic organism replied with a male voice, Volvox sees it and puts it on his middle head with telekinesis, "How do I activate this?" Volvox asked, "Just use your mind, it reads your brainwaves." the microscopic organism replied, and Volvox wanted to be small, and he shrunk to microscopic size, he then goes after Cancer. Volvox floats around while he sees Cancer multiply, "Don't try looking for me, Volvox, we're all the real Cancer." Cancer said, and he begins to multiply more, Volvox shot fire out of his mouths and destroyed most of them with his three fire breaths, Cancer laughs as he multiplies more and more. Volvox tries using his telekinesis and sees there was too many for him to hold in one place, so he shoots more fire out of his mouths and destroy them. Cancer reforms even after he was destroyed, Volvox began to feel nauseous, he realized Cancer's sickness was getting to him, he looks and saw his four friends were getting sick as well, he shot out more fire and destroyed Cancer again, he kept returning and multiplying, "I need one of those flamethrowers that shoots out ice." Volvox said, "Oh, you mean a frostthrower, we'll inform the machines telepathically." a female microorganism replied, and she does, one was transported into the area, it was already microscopic size, "What the?" Volvox asked, "We have transferring devices everywhere in the country, and more shrinking devices." the female microscopic organism said, Volvox just took it and aimed it. He pulls the trigger and freezes every Cancer there was, he did not multiply, Volvox shot out more fire and destroyed them. Cancer started coming back, Volvox froze him again, and put him in one place with telekinesis, he did not feel sick anymore, but did not know what to do next. Cancer was stuck in place, with no way to move, so he decided to form into a bigger version of himself, he was a humanoid gremlin, but all light red and pink, Volvox shot fire at him and he screamed and was obliterated, Cancer did not form that time, much to Volvox's confusion, but he changes back to his regular size, "Okay, two more." Volvox said, "I'm still tired." Dommiel replied, "Yeah, me too, why don't we try playing an online game if they have any?" Tom asked, they agreed and went to the human area. Twilight Sparkle and her friends arrive into the plant section and were surprised to see there were thousands of different plants, and they were all humanoid plants and moving, the sun was shining into the section, and they had solar panels everywhere, "Wow, how many different types of flora are there?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "About one million two hundred ninety three thousand six hundred eighty five of us." Berberis replied, shocking everyone, that was more plants than in their world, "Are y'all divided?" Applejack asked, "There's about one million one hundred sixty five thousand six hundred forty four angiosperms, about eight thousand three hundred twenty seven gymnosperms, about fifty one thousand one hundred two pteridophytes, and about sixty eight thousand six hundred twelve bryophytes." Periwinkle replied, shocking everyone, "How do you all keep track of what type of plants you all are?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "We all have unique traits." Berberis replied, "What's that plant there?" Sunburst asked as he pointed with his front right hoof to Swamp Thing, "Oh, that's Swamp Thing, he's this area's guardian." Periwinkle replied, "I must say, maybe you all could use some fashion." Rarity said, "We are not the type to have fashion." Berberis replied, "So, you guys don't have any culture, no music or literature?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "All we have is cuisine, but some of our dishes are poisonous to certain organic creatures." Periwinkle replied, "How do y'all live?" Applejack asked, "We're self-feeding, the sun also powers us, this entire area is made from soil, so is the water, the feces from animals also grant us nutrition, and obviously, we don't have any fire in this area, it is lethal to us." Periwinkle replied, "How do you guys survive in the cold?" Gallus asked, "We have technology that can change the weather." Berberis replied, "Oh." Gallus said, "Wait, where's Silverstream?" Sandbar asked, they all look for her and saw her in the water as a seapony, she was greeting the plants that lived in the water, they greeted her back, "What happens if she eats one of the kelps?" Smolder asked, "She will be arrested and tried for murder." Swamp Thing replied, "Well, let's see if she can control her urges." Gallus said while smiling, Silverstream came out a few seconds afterwards and changed back to a hippogriff, "This is the best area ever!" Silverstream said, "Sorry, Silverstream, but we have to speed up, so we have to go to the next place." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Alright then, this way." Scarab said, and they go to the bug area next. Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom found a computer and decided to play an online game, they found a multiplayer one, it was called City Survival, "This game looks like Grand Theft Auto." Tom said, "Oh, I remember seeing those when we traveled to here from the past." Dommiel replied, "Well, let's give it a try." Volvox said, and they create accounts to play, they look and see three more players, one was Jamie Reyes, who called himself Blue Beetle, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle member Michelangelo, and an unseen player, they see the account name and saw it was Flibbertigibbet, they see she used her name, "It's her again." Dommiel said, "Hold on, dudes, let's hear her voice first." Michelangelo replied, "Hello, losers." Flibbertigibbet said, "Yeah, it's her." Tom said, and the game starts, "Alright, four player war, may the best player win." Jamie said, and they play. The ponies and their friends see the five playing a game, "Oh, hey." Sunset Shimmer said, and she ran to them, "That looks fun." Rainbow Dash said, and she flew to them, "Ooh, let me join." Pinkie Pie said, and she ran to them, they go to the five, they let them join, "Guys." Twilight Sparkle said, "Don't worry, we'll catch up." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Yeah, we're just taking a break." Rainbow Dash said, "Okay, but make sure you make it to the bug section on time." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she and the others walk by. Tom, Jamie, Michelangelo, and Flibbertigibbet play the game and it was clear Flibbertigibbet was cheating, she had infinite health, infinite armor, infinite ammo, an auto targeting mod, she was teleporting to random parts of the map, was spawning clones of her player, and making herself invisible to other players, "Lady, stop cheating." Jamie said, "I'm not cheating, you just suck." Flibbertigibbet replied, "Lady, stop doing that." Michelangelo said, Flibbertigibbet was making Michelangelo's character die by shooting him through solid objects, which the game did not allow, she then made Tom's character freeze in place, and he got killed by Flibbertigibbet's character. Rainbow Dash, Sunset Shimmer, and Pinkie Pie growled when they watched, they heard Flibbertigibbet laughing, then her player froze, "Cheater spotted, account selected for deletion." a male robotic voice said, and Flibbertigibbet's gaming account was deleted, and her character was killed off permanently. Flibbertigibbet screamed and began slapping her hands on a solid object, she then began crying, "You brought it onto yourself." Sunset Shimmer said, they heard walking on Flibbertigibbet's screen, even though it did not show her, "What's the matter, Flibbertigibbet?" the Gremlin King asked, "I lost." Flibbertigibbet replied, "Hey, don't cry, it's just a game, let your father show you how it's done, he's a master at this game." the Gremlin King said, and they change, a camera appeared, and the Gremlin King was on the screen, they continue playing. They begin playing again and the Gremlin King was cheating the same way his daughter cheated, "Dude, that's cheating." Jamie said, "Taurus, do your thing." the Gremlin King said, and Jamie's character was erased from the game, which shocked him, "A gremlin's controlling the AI." Tom said, "Can you three take over?" Volvox asked, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Sunset Shimmer became excited, the five left while Sunset Shimmer took the keyboard to play. The five go to the machine area and they see a computer acting funny, the five were zapped and they grunt, a blue laser analyzes them and brings them into the computer. The five enter the country's AI system and see the machines and automated technology were controlled by it, a landscape gets created and they hear snickering in the area, they see a path that only goes one way, the five shrug and walk forward. The five walk and saw Taurus up ahead, he was made out of blue electricity, "Hello, you five, take your pick." Taurus said, and he holds his hands out, a red pill was in his right hand, and a blue pill was in his left hand, "Red or blue?" Taurus asked, "What do they do?" Tom asked, "Take the red pill, you become one with the AI, you stay stuck in here, and can never go back to the real world. Take the blue pill, you never learn of this place, and can never enter this area again, the microchips will identify you and not let you enter the AI world." Taurus replied, the five were unimpressed, "Neither." Dommiel said, "Yeah, plus, I'd take white and black over red and blue." Volvox said, "What will you five do then?" Taurus asked, they look at one another, Volvox shoots fire at him, Taurus was unharmed due to him having no physical body, "I am invincible." Taurus said, "Guess we'll see about that." the Count of Saint Germain replied, and he tried firing his phaser pistol while it was in vaporize mode, it did nothing, Dommiel tried shooting hollow point bullets from the guns on his forearms, they went through him, he tried the missiles in his shoulders next, they also did nothing, "Yeah, it's going to be a waste right now." Dommiel said, "Taurus!" the Gremlin King said, "Alright." Taurus replied, and he goes through several holographic keyboards, he types things and they see Michelangelo's character in the game get erased out, "What the shell, dude?!" Michelangelo asked, "Wait, Mikey, I'm finding there's some kind of artificial intelligence controlling the game." Donatello replied from off the camera, they hear typing and it was soon done, "Found it, there's a humanoid gremlin in the AI system, his brain's somewhere in the machine area." Donatello said, the five look at Taurus and smile, Taurus became scared and ran, the five chased him. The five run after Taurus while going through the AI system, Taurus shot electricity at them, they dodged it, they keep running around the AI system and see a screen that led them out. Taurus smiled and ran to it, the five chase him and tackle him, they go through the screen and come out. The six arrive back into the real world and the five become shocked when they realized they were in the underwater city, Taurus laughed as he went into the water and used his electrokinesis to electrify the water, the people and animals in the water began writhing in pain, everybody looks and sees the electrified water. Volvox gets the other four on his back and jumps out of the underwater city, he lands on the main city, breaking part of the ground in the process, he sees Sunset Shimmer, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie were still playing, they were getting angry, they also heard Sunset Shimmer grunt angrily, "Stop beam spamming!" Sunset Shimmer said angrily, the Gremlin King laughs, the five ignore it and go to the area of the machines. The five look around for Taurus' brain, "Found it." Volvox said, he sees it was in a building, he ripped the roof off with his front feet, he lets the four get on him and lets them into the building. He hears electricity behind him and he turns around, he saw Taurus floating in midair, "You can't fight every machine." Taurus said, and Volvox saw every machine in the country was under his command, they began shooting lasers at him, Volvox's skin was able to take it, he did not fight back because it would mean trouble if he destroyed the country's AI systems. Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom see Taurus' brain, it was connected to the AI systems with metal tubing, the four go forward to remove it, but Taurus' brain releases a psychic blast that knocks them back, the four get up and look, Taurus' brain began using telekinesis to lift things up and throw them at the four, Dommiel and Giovi used their telekinesis to hold the blast back, Taurus' brain begins to release another psychic blast, but the two use their telekinesis to hold it back and they enter a deadlock with him. The Count of Saint Germain and Tom run to Taurus' brain and try to remove the tubes, but they were stuck in the brain, so Tom took his lightsaber out and cut the four tubes, the machines in the country shut down, Taurus screamed as his electrical body disappeared. Volvox looked back and saw they succeeded in disconnecting him, so Volvox used his telekinesis to pick up Taurus' brain, he looks around and sees a barrel of acid around, which he did not know why, but he did not care, and put Taurus' brain in it to melt it, the five go back to their online game. Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Sunset Shimmer were playing together with Jamie, Michelangelo, and the Gremlin King, the AI systems in the country malfunction a bit and it made holographic screens appear in the sky, big enough for the entire world to see, much to the natives' confusion, "Sorry about that, guys, we're having technical difficulties right now." Volvox said to the world, they see Sunset Shimmer was playing, the five go to her and see she was now winning the game since the Gremlin King could no longer cheat, his character was killed and he lost the game, coming in last place. The Gremlin King screamed with rage and began slamming his fists on the table, and then on the keyboard, he then picked up the keyboard, slammed it on the table a few times, and threw it back onto the table, the Gremlin King began to shout into the microphone in his native language, he then began to scream in rage and move his body side-to-side in the chair, he was so enraged, he began having spasms in his chair, he then stood up and angrily punched the camera with his right fist, making it fall, he then walked away and quit the game. The world's natives saw him as well, they were all shocked by how the Gremlin King reacted, "Now, Flurry Heart, remember, don't ever act like that if you lose, it's just a game, and your father and I won't get you any if you act like that." Princess Cadence said as she hugged her daughter. Everybody was shocked by the Gremlin King's behavior, "Wow, I get mad if I lose, too, but I don't act like that." Sunset Shimmer said, the AI systems stop acting up and the holographic screens go back down, the game was over, Sunset Shimmer won, "Yes." Sunset Shimmer said, "Congrats, lady." Jamie said, "Thanks." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Wanna go another round?" Michelangelo asked, "Sorry, but we have things to do." Rainbow Dash replied, "Yeah, we have to go off now." Dommiel said, "Alright, till next game." Jamie replied, and they turn off the computer, "Okay, just one more." Tom said, "Yup, then we go after the Gremlin King." Volvox replied, "We're going to the bug area." Pinkie Pie said, "Alright, have fun." Volvox replied, and they go their separate ways. Twilight Sparkle and her friends arrive at the bug area and everybody except Fluttershy and Silverstream were uncomfortable, they hear running and saw Sunset Shimmer, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie come, "Oh, you three made it on time." Twilight Sparkle said, "We told you we've make it." Rainbow Dash replied, "Did you three have something to do with the technical difficulties thing?" Ocellus asked, "No, the gremlins messed up the technology." Rainbow Dash replied, "Oh." Ocellus said, "Okay, welcome to the bug area, we live in a caste system." Scarab said, "A caste system?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, we'll show you around." Sacer replied, and they show the area, they realize each bug had something to do, the ants were the blue collar workers, the bees operated the technology and provided food, the termites were architects, the wasps were scholars and historians, they also created paper, the flies were reporters and messengers, the moths were scouts and watched for danger, the cicadas watched for dangers under the ground, the worms acted as public transport under the ground, the centipedes acted as public transport above the ground, the millipedes transported goods and resources, the earwigs were the judges of their society, the spiders were soldiers, the beetles were also soldiers, the scorpions were officers, the roaches were elite soldiers and diplomats, the mantises were also diplomats, and the highest ranking soldiers, the phasmids were also soldiers, they were also scouts, the crickets were also diplomats, the grasshoppers were the highest ranking diplomats, the mosquitoes were doctors, the ticks were also doctors, and the ones who created new medicine, and the fleas were the rulers of country. Twilight Sparkle noticed not every bug was in the caste, "Where are the lice at?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The other bugs went extinct a long time ago." Sacer replied, "What did they do?" Rarity asked, "Nothing, that was before the caste system was established." Scarab replied, "Who do you all send for diplomacy?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Usually the roaches." Scarab replied, shocking the natives of the world, "Don't like roaches?" Scarab asked, "Absolutely not, I can't stand roaches." Rarity replied, "How about crickets?" Sacer asked, "No, I don't like any bugs." Rarity replied, "I do." Fluttershy said, "Me too." Pinkie Pie said, and she ran around in hopes of throwing a party, the bugs were a bit surprised, but went on with their days, Pinkie Pie was a bit shocked the bugs did not party, "Maybe you should let me do the party planning, Pinkie Pie." Fluttershy said, Pinkie Pie smiled, "Well, is there really anything else besides this to your culture?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Nope, that's all, we don't make music until night time." Sacer replied, "Oh, makes sense, well, let's go to the last area." Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright, this way." Flagellum replied, and they go to the area of the microorganisms. Volvox and his four friends decided to go back to the alien area to see how the fighting tournament was coming up, it was almost complete, "How are you guys doing with the gremlins?" Harvey asked, "One more left." Tom replied, "And after that?" Harvey asked, "We go after the Gremlin King." Dommiel replied, "I don't know if you guys found this out, but before you guys came here, the king's daughter was offering a date to one of the twelve commanders if he took down you five, all twelve of them turned her down." Harvey said, the five chuckle, "What's wrong? Is she too ugly to them?" Tom asked, "No, it's has to do with her tastes, the quality of the stuff she wants is too high for their liking." Harvey replied, "How about Orchid, how were her tastes?" Volvox asked, "Orchid doesn't care too much about those things, as long as it's functional and useful to her, she'll take it, Orchid doesn't like receiving flowers and chocolates as gifts, she usually prefers things she can use to help her with whatever problem she's having, or help try to make her magic strong again." Harvey replied, "What about you?" Dommiel asked, "I'm kind of the same." Harvey replied, the five chuckle, "Where is your family right now, anyway?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "Orchid, Nick, and Lance went home for the day, Orchid got exhausted." Harvey replied, the five were worried about Orchid. The technology in the entire country began acting up, the three cities starting experiencing malfunctions, the vehicles in the air began falling to the ground, the mutants, machines, and microorganisms use telekinesis to bring them down softly, a lot of angry voices were heard from people waiting for messages from their friends on their devices, "Of course, with advanced technology comes impatience." Volvox said, his four friends and Harvey agreed, they hear the Gremlin King laughing, he was on a roof, "Go, Aries! Show them why you're my second-in-command." the Gremlin King said, they all see Aries floating in midair, he was making all of the technology go haywire, everybody saw they can counter it with their own psychic powers, "Go, my servants!" Aries said, and other small gremlins began attacking, they controlled some of the technology while laughing, everybody noticed the small gremlins were only causing mischief, "No, you fools! Kill them!" Aries said, the Gremlin King controls them telepathically, they begin attacking the natives. The Count of Saint Germain and Tom try shooting him, but Aries made their guns malfunction, they hear a lot noises and sees their Metal Gear REXs, Metal Gear RAYs, and Shagohods have begun attacking the citizens, the world's natives were extremely shocked to see the walking tanks. The motion detectors in the street lights go off and guns come out of the street lights to shoot the people, they also see their laser and beam weapons going haywire, so did their rocket launchers that shot like machine guns. Volvox fires his fire breaths at Aries but misses, it did distract him a bit, the Count of Saint Germain shot a vaporizing beam at Aries from his phaser pistol, but Aries still controlled it with his mind, and cancelled it out, he used technopathy to get into a car to flee. The five see the nearest car was close by, everybody except Volvox entered, they chase him while Volvox watched and used his telekinesis to stop the technology from hurting others. Tom drove the car while Dommiel and Giovi used their telekinesis to resist Aries' control, he keeps driving away and was speeding, his technopathy made him have complete control over the car he was in, so he did not have to slow down at turns. Tom drove as fast as he could and kept an eye on Aries' car, they keep driving and the Count of Saint Germain tried shooting down several things to block Aries' path, but Aries made the car change to flying mode and flew above it. Tom looks around and sees there were buttons to push to change the car to either a plane or a boat, "How convenient." Tom said, and he pushes the button to change the car into a plane, it shifted and flew, they go after Aries. Aries flies around and tried to make the weapons shoot Tom down, he controlled the steering wheel and dodged each one by doing barrel rolls. They see the underwater area next, so Tom and Aries change their vehicles to boats and drive around, the underwater missile launchers and lasers fire at Tom, he dodged them by just speeding up, the water mines did not come out fast enough to blow Tom up. They arrive back on land and change back to the cars, they keep driving and see Volvox was busy keeping the technology at bay with his telekinesis. Volvox sees Aries' car and he fires a fire breath from his skeletal head to in front of Aries, he drove into it and his car exploded, Aries survived the explosion, but Dommiel uses his telekinesis to hold Aries in place and puts him on the front of the car Tom was driving. Tom turns the steering wheel to the left and accelerates, they see a streetlight pole up ahead. Aries screams as Tom drives into it, the four jump out and the car goes into the pole and explodes, Aries got killed in the process. All of the technology turns off again but soon comes back on, "Alright, that's all of them." the Count of Saint Germain said, "All that's left is the king." Tom replied, "And his daughter." Dommiel said, "Whatever happened to his wife?" Volvox asked, "You killed her back in 1945, by using your telekinesis to crash a plane with her in it." a male computer replied, Volvox smiled, "So, what now?" Tom asked, "We wait, the king has no choice but to face us on his own now." Volvox replied, and they went to go help the aliens build their fighting arena. Twilight Sparkle and the others arrive into the microorganism area, "Okay, let's give that spell a try." Twilight Sparkle said, and she, Starlight Glimmer, Rarity, and Sunburst cast the spell together, everybody took notice of the magic aura on their horns, the spell was cast, and to their shocks, it did not work, "What? The spell didn't work." Sunburst said, "As we said, magic's a non-renewable resource to us, so while it works outside our country, it won't work in here." Flagellum said, "So? How do we see you guys?" Sandbar asked, "Use the microscopes." Cilia replied, and they showed them what they were, they see the microorganisms everywhere, "I can see!" Silverstream said, "I wanna meet them." Pinkie Pie said, "They can hear you." Flagellum replied, "What do you guys have for culture?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "We never had a culture, we've been busy surviving." Flagellum replied, "No music?" Yona asked, "We're too small to play them." Cilia replied, "How about fashion?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Nope." Flagellum replied, "Art." Scootaloo said, "No." Cilia replied, "What about cuisine?" Apple Bloom asked, "We eat dead bodies, body waste, and plant litter." Flagellum replied, surprising the others, "That most certainly does not sound appealing." Rarity said, "It is to us." Cilia replied, "Is there anything y'all have over the other places?" Applejack asked, "We're the most populous group." Flagellum replied, "What are those in the water over there?" Fluttershy asked, the others look and see them, "Those are the plankton." Flagellum replied, "I was hoping there would be more here." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, sorry to disappoint." Cilia replied, "It's okay, come on, everycreature, it's time to report our findings." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all head home, back to their native countries. Volvox and his four friends look around and see the damage that was caused, "Wow, we really did make a mess." Tom said, "Not just us." Volvox replied, they hear screams of rage and see the Gremlin King leading the small gremlins, Flibbertigibbet was standing to his right, "You killed my twelve most trusted men, you will pay!" the Gremlin King said angrily, "I will now never get a date, prepare to die!" Flibbertigibbet said angrily, and she ran to them while screaming, "Flibbertigibbet! No!" the Gremlin King said, Dommiel and Giovi just use their telekinesis to hold her up and tear her apart, killing her, "Look at how many gremlins I have, Volvox, you're outnumbered." the Gremlin King said, "Mutants, Force Choke." Volvox said, and they do, shocking the world's natives, they were watching since they were loud, they stop and were out of energy, "What are you going to do now?" the Gremlin King asked smugly, "Grid, use the satellite." Volvox said, and Grid typed in several codes, a satellite in space aligns itself and fires a big missile. Everybody stands around, "I don't see anything happening." the Gremlin King said, "Give it a few seconds." Volvox replied, and they do, a twinkle was in the sky, "Hey, what's that?" a small male gremlin asked, they all look and saw the missile, the gremlins scream and run away, the missile hits the ground and explodes. The world's natives looked on with horror and then at the sky, they did not see anything. The gremlins run back, "What was that?!" the Gremlin King asked, "We got kinetic bombardment." the Count of Saint Germain replied, shocking the world's natives, "Check it out." the Gremlin King said, and they get a computer, the gremlins were shocked, "it's from a satellite in space!" a male gremlin said, shocking the natives, "Take it out!" the Gremlin King said, "We can't, we can't breathe up there!" another male gremlin replied, "Then we'll just have to migrate elsewhere." the Gremlin King said, "That won't work!" a male gremlin said, "What?!" the Gremlin King asked, "That satellite is remotely controlled, they can hit us anywhere in this world with it!" another male gremlin replied, horrifying the world's natives, "What are you going to do now?" Volvox asked while smiling, the Gremlin King sighed, he got on his knees, "I surrender." the Gremlin King said, "Wait, you're not going to put up a fight?" Dommiel asked, "I don't know how to fight." the Gremlin King replied, "What is your power?" Tom asked, "Telepathic control, that's all." the Gremlin King replied, "You're the leader, and you can't even defend yourself? You have no right to be a leader, then." Volvox said, "I only became the king because my father was the previous king." the Gremlin King replied, the five shook their heads, "Alright, take them away, we already have a punishment for you guys tomorrow." Volvox said, and every gremlin was arrested, "Look at that, the kinetic bombardment came in handy after all." the Count of Saint Germain said, the other four smiled, "No! No! No!" Princess Cadence said angrily as she flew to them, she landed to their rights and ran to them, "Take that down!" Princess Cadence said angrily, "How come?" Volvox asked, "What do you mean how come?! I am not comfortable with my kingdom able to be destroyed from an area we can't reach!" Princess Cadence replied, "What about the others?" Tom asked, Volvox looks and sees the other countries agreed, "Yeah, we have to, we don't have a choice." Volvox replied, "Good! Don't even think about using it!" Princess Cadence said, and she flew away. The Council went over to Volvox and the others, "Good work, guys, we knew you'd win, we predicted it with numerology, now onto the next business at hand: rebuilding." Darwin said, "Don't you guys have work drones?" Volvox asked, "Well, yes, but you five have to rebuild the country, yourselves, since you all destroyed the country, you have to pay for it, too." Darwin replied, "Wait, I don't have any money?" Volvox asked, "Things are different from the past, Volvox, we are now living in a democratic society, we decide on the rulers." Grid replied, "Then why am I still the ruler?" Volvox asked, "Because we know it's your job to watch our science and technology evolve, and the citizens like you." Lizmarie replied, much to the world's natives' confusion, "Well, you all have to start rebuilding and paying now." Zerbebuth said, "Come on, guys, let's go see how long it takes." Volvox said, his four friends agreed and the Count of Saint Germain opened a portal and they go into it. The five travel through time and see their fixed country, it only took a few days, and they were still on the world, "What'd you know, it only takes a few days to fix." Dommiel said, "Come on, let's go." Volvox replied, the other four smiled and they were about to enter the future, but a yellow aura appears on them and they are pulled back into the present, they turn around and saw Princess Celestia in the air, she was at Volvox's level, "No, you are not going to be lazy and just go to the future where everything is fixed, fix it, yourselves." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away, "The gremlins broke out!" a male human said, and everybody saw them running around to cause havoc, "Everybody, use the Tau Cannons." Volvox said, and the military does, the orange beams ricochet and destroy the gremlins. The unicorns cast magic and take them away with telekinesis, "No! That's too powerful!" Twilight Sparkle said, the gremlins laugh, "Gluon guns." Volvox said, and blue and purple beams were shot, the gremlins hit by them were disintegrated, the unicorns take them away as well, "No!" Princess Cadence said, "BFG10k." Volvox said, and one was shot, everybody moved away. A green sphere goes towards the gremlins, green laser beams come out of the sphere, the small gremlins who were hit by it disintegrated within seconds, almost all of them were killed, the green sphere hit a streetlight pole and disappeared, the unicorns angrily take it away with their telekinesis, "No! Absolutely not!" Twilight Sparkle said angrily, they look and see the other countries were scared of their weaponry. Everybody hears flying and sees Dommiel was using the flying tank, its invisibility cloak was activated. Dommiel begins shooting the machine gun turret and destroys the gremlins, he also leans forward to cut them with the obsidian propeller blades. The gremlins screamed as they ran away, "NO!!" Princess Cadence yelled angrily as she made crystals appear on it to make it fall, the world's natives were still angry at them. Dommiel came out of the flying tank, "Do we have anything else?" Volvox asked, "We got the PRL 412." Darwin replied, "That's not going to work, it only works on parasites." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Where was it when we fought Gemini?" Dommiel asked, "It's not done yet, it's still in the developmental stage." Darwin replied, Volvox sighed, "Rearrest the gremlins, we'll start rebuilding after the tournament." Volvox said, and they arrested the gremlins and called it a day. The next day comes and the fighting tournament was ready, every species was allowed to participate, Volvox was on a throne and watched, "Okay, everybody, as usual in devilgor tradition, we will start with a warm up for you all, bring in the gremlins." Zerbebuth said, and they were put in, the Gremlin King was in front of them, "Stupid restraints." the Gremlin King grumbled, "Okay, release the animals." Cecil said, and lions, bears, tigers, cougars, and snakes were put in, the gremlins scream in horror when they realized they were going to be eaten, "Stop!" Twilight Sparkle said as she flew to them, "What are you guys doing?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "This is a custom, before we begin the tournament, we start by having the wild animals eat the gremlins." Zerbebuth replied, "What?! That's cruelty!" Twilight Sparkle said, "Is something the matter?" Zancrus asked, "Yes! Sacrificing lives for celebration is not okay!" Twilight Sparkle replied, "You are disrespecting our culture right now." Zerbebuth said, "Culture?! This is culture?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "You don't know our ways." Zancrus replied, Twilight Sparkle turned around, "Don't any of you have a problem with this?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Nope, humans did the same thing with criminals back in Rome a long time ago." Marie replied, "What?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "That's true, we did this, too." Darwin replied, Twilight Sparkle was very shocked, "How was this came up with, anyway?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "This is the day Volvox freed us from the gremlins, we do this to them as punishment for enslaving us, working us to death, and feeding us to the fauna of our planet, this is our way of revenge." Zerbebuth replied, "This is wrong!" Twilight Sparkle said, "I don't see a downside to this." Volvox replied, the others agreed, Twilight Sparkle was shocked, "Cancel this! Or Equestria will go to war against you guys!" Twilight Sparkle said, the others look at Equestria to see if she was bluffing, they saw she was not, and due to the other creatures going to their school, the other countries were their allies, and they will go to war with them as well, "We have no choice, guys, we have to skip the opening ceremony, but we'll continue the tournament." Volvox said, "Uh, Volvox?" Lizmarie asked, they all look and see the wild animals have already eaten and killed the Gremlin King and the small gremlins, shocking Twilight Sparkle, "Go back in time!" Twilight Sparkle said, "And fight the gremlins all over again? I think not." the Count of Saint Germain replied, Twilight Sparkle thought about it, "Yeah, you're right, you guys will cause even more damage." Twilight Sparkle said, she sighed and flew away. The tournament began and everybody was excited, the first round was Tom and Lizmarie, the two went in, Lizmarie used her telekinesis to hold Tom in place and slam him into the ground. The second round was Harvey and Smolder, "Whoa, what happened to you?" Smolder asked, "Long story." Harvey replied, Smolder got into a fighting stance, Harvey was ready as well. Smolder flew to him and tried to punch him several times, Harvey dodged them all, the dragons noticed he was fast, Harvey tries to punch Smolder with his right fist, but she flew back, Harvey hit the ground, and put a crater in it, shocking the dragons. Smolder shoots fire out of her mouth and Harvey ducked, he shot fire out of his mouth, which had no effect on Smolder. Smolder tried flying around and breathing fire again, Harvey's robotic eye lights up red and he begins shooting red beams out of it, it shot as fast as a machine gun, and was locked onto Smolder, surprising the dragons, they were happy when she dodged them all, so Harvey changed his right hand into a gun and shot out a purple sonic beam, Smolder got hit, she grunted when she fell, she had black smoke on her body. Harvey lifts her up with his telekinesis and pulls her forward, she breathes fire and sets Harvey on fire, it did not do anything, Harvey proceeds to lift her up, but Smolder grabs his neck and knocks him down, she was about to choke him, "I got you, too." Harvey said, "Huh?" Smolder asked with shock, she looks and sees Harvey has wrapped his tail around her neck, the two realize they were ready to choke one another, Smolder sighed and let go of his neck, Harvey took his tail off of her, "And... it's a tie." Dommiel said, everybody cheered while the two went back, "You did good out there, Smolder." Princess Ember said while smiling, "Thanks, he was tough." Smolder replied, the next contestants were chosen, it was Zira and Gallus, the two walked to the arena, "Let's see what we got." Gallus said, "You're on, birdie." Zira said, Gallus flew up while Zira jumped around the arena and tried to catch him, she could not reach him, Zira smiled, "I appreciate challenging prey." Zira said, "Catch me if you can, then." Gallus replied, and he flew faster, Zira ran around and watched him carefully, she jumped and grabbed onto his hind legs. Gallus shifts his body and slams Zira's body into the wall, he proceeded to kick her several times with his hind legs, Zira grabbed them, "I got you now." Zira said, "Not yet." Gallus replied, and he flew up, Zira let go and landed on her feet, in front of several humanoid plants, she jumped up and was about to slash Gallus with her claws, Gallus grabbed her arms with his talons, but Zira's force pulled him down, the two fell, the world's natives gasped, the two were on the ground, and panted, "I give up." Gallus said weakly, "Me too." Zira replied weakly, "It's another draw." the Count of Saint Germain said, everybody cheered while they were carried away to receive medical treatment. The third round was Zancrus and Firestorm, their flames canceled each other out, so Zancrus used her physical strength to beat him, she only did several punches and he went down after a minute. The fourth round was T-1850 and Limestone Pie, "You're a new one." T-1850 said, "Name's Limestone Pie." Limestone Pie said, "Whoo-hoo!" Pinkie Pie said loudly in the crowd, it distracted Limestone Pie, she looked at her angrily, "Go, Lime, go! Go, Lime, go!" Pinkie Pie said happily, Limestone Pie rolled her eyes and looked at T-1850, "Let's get this over with." Limestone Pie said, T-1850 ran towards her and tried to punch her with his left fist, he cracked the ground, he saw Limestone Pie was not there, T-1850 was hit in the back of the head, Limestone Pie kicked him with her hind legs, it was strong enough to knock him down, everybody cheered at the fact that Limestone Pie won, "Too easy, give me something harder!" Limestone Pie said, "Well, in that case." Volvox replied, and he chooses Limestone Pie's next opponent, it was Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie gasped in horror and looked back while covering her eyes, "I can't watch! My friend and my sister are about to fight! I can't watch!" Pinkie Pie said, and she began to cry dramatically; "I've been looking forward to this." Limestone Pie said while smiling, "Ha! You're on!" Rainbow Dash replied angrily, and she stood up on her hind legs. Limestone Pie and Rainbow Dash begin punching one another in their faces with their front hooves, the two grunted from each hit they received, while Rainbow Dash's punches were faster, Limestone Pie's were stronger. Limestone Pie hits Rainbow Dash in the face with her front right hoof, Rainbow Dash grunted loudly while her head turned and spit flew out, Rainbow Dash looked at Limestone Pie and growled. Rainbow Dash ran to Limestone Pie and punched really fast, Limestone Pie was still standing, she was starting to get exhausted, Rainbow Dash smiled and launched a series of punches, but they did not knock Limestone Pie down, Rainbow Dash was then tired, "Call it a draw?" Limestone Pie asked, Rainbow Dash looked at Pinkie Pie and saw her crying, "Yeah." Rainbow Dash replied, and they shook hooves, "Another draw." Tom said, Pinkie Pie gasped with happiness and watched the two walk back while smiling, Rainbow Dash goes back to them, "I've got enough energy for one more." Rainbow Dash said, Volvox picks out a random name and sees her next opponent was Darwin, he jumped down and his eyes turned red, black bio-armor appeared on him, "Whoa, that is so cool." Rainbow Dash said, "You can buy one on your own." Darwin replied, Rainbow Dash was happy to hear that, she flies forward to attack Darwin, but was soon panting, realizing she was more tired than she thought, Darwin punches her with his left fist and she screams while she flew through the air and hit a wall, she fell onto the ground and groaned, everybody cheered while Darwin changed back to normal and walked away while Rainbow Dash was carried away to receive medical treatment. The seventh round was Princess Ember and Zerbebuth, "This oughta be interesting." Princess Ember said, "Let's see what we got." Zerbebuth said, and the two were ready to fight, Zerbebuth runs to Princess Ember and he tries to punch her with his right fist, but Princess Ember flew back and Zerbebuth hit the ground, putting a large crater in it. Princess Ember flew forward and breathed fire at Zerbebuth, he canceled it out with his own fire breath, Princess Ember flies to his face and lands a few punches, Zerbebuth exhaled sharply at realizing that Princess Ember was pretty strong, despite her small size. Princess Ember flies to him again and he catches her in midair, he holds her in a lock, with his left arm going across her abdomen, and his right arm going across her neck, "You can give up if you want to." Zerbebuth said, Princess Ember's attention was caught, she could not give up, she would be a laughing stock in her country if she did, she grabs Zerbebuth's arms and pulls them away while grunting, she flew out of his grasp and the dragons cheered. Princess Ember flies to him and does a counterclockwise spin and kicks Zerbebuth with her left foot, Zerbebuth grunts while he was hit in the abdomen, the kick sent him into the air, he flew back a few feet. Zerbebuth landed on his feet and was still able to keep fighting, Princess Ember flew to him but he grabs her wrists and stretches them out, Princess Ember exclaimed with pain when she heard cracks in her wrists, Zerbebuth lets go and punches her with his left fist while she was falling, she hits a wall and grunts, Zerbebuth flies to her and begins punching her while she was stunned, the dragons were worried when she fell. Princess Ember groaned while Zerbebuth watched, Princess Ember stood up and could still fight, the dragons cheered, she punched Zerbebuth in the abdomen a few times, but did not do much, Zerbebuth was about to hit her back with both of his fists, but Princess Ember flew up and did a haymaker punch with her right fist and hit Zerbebuth in the face, he let out a slight grunt and fell to his knees, he panted, so did Princess Ember, she fell from exhaustion, the dragons were worried, but Princess Ember did a thumbs up with her right hand to let the others know she was still conscious, "It's a tie." Volvox said, everybody cheered while the humans carried them away to treat any serious wounds. Volvox picks out the next two fighters and saw it was himself against Dragon Lord Torch, everybody cheered at seeing the two getting ready to fight, Volvox walked forward while Torch waited for him to come. Volvox arrived and Torch began flying to him, he shot fire out of his mouth, Volvox ducked and then shot fire out of his three mouths, Torch flew down and dodged them, he flies to Volvox's chest and began punching him, it did no damage to Volvox's body, Volvox reared up on his hind legs and put his front feet together, he was about to hit Torch's back with his giant front feet, the dragons gasped at what they were seeing, Volvox was about to hit Torch, but his front feet got stopped in midair, "Hmm?" Volvox asked, he looked and saw Torch holding his front feet up with his hands, he resisted Volvox and raised Volvox's front legs over his head while he flew up, Volvox jumped in the air and was about to smash Torch with his hind feet, Torch simply flew back and dodged it. Volvox landed and Torch flew to him and began punching him in several areas to look for a weak spot, he did not find any, so he flew up to Volvox's heads and tried punching him, it annoyed Volvox a bit, but Volvox exhaled sharply through his noses, it shot Torch back, but he continued to fly, Torch breathed fire onto Volvox's head, it did not do much, Volvox punches Torch with his front left foot and Torch was sent flying across the arena, but he regained control and flew to him. Volvox watches Torch come and he grabs him with his front left foot while he was in midair, he threw Torch onto the ground, the dragons gasped, they saw Torch was stuck in the ground, unconscious, he was taken away for medical treatment, the dragons were scared of Volvox's strength, he went back to his seat. Volvox picks out the next fighters, it was Garble and Leonardo, Garble went down in less than a minute with one hit. Volvox picks out the next fighters and saw they were King Thorax and Yona, but the two did not fight due to them being friends, the humans, mutants, machines, aliens, plants, animals, bugs, and microorganisms groan with disappointment, "Sorry, guys, but that's all, it's getting late." Volvox said, and they all went home. Volvox and his four friends were fixing the country the next day, "What happened to our present selves anyway?" Dommiel asked, "They were collected by Brainiac." Grid replied, the five realized what Grid was saying, one thing that caught the attention of the five was they saw seven bronze statues in a museum, the center statue was Samus Aran, to her right was Master Chief, Bill Rizer, and Gordon Freeman, and to her left was Solid Snake, a male Commander Shephard, and Isaac Clarke, the five ignore it and keep fixing up their country. The five finished after a few days, they began establishing relationships with the other countries, the five's ways of doing things made their relationships a bit sour with the world's natives, one thing none of them liked was the other countries will also have a say in their technology's development, especially their weapons, since they were much more advanced than the weapons the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs had, they were shocked to see some of their weapons, the two that they highly disapproved of was Scarecrow's fear gas, and the shredder bullets, which would get shot into someone, eight blades would protrude out and stab their inner organs, and then spin counterclockwise to cut their internal organs apart, they also did not like the bullets and arrows that change trajectory while in midair, one thing they also highly disapproved of was this thing they had called a Marker, Princess Celestia ordered it to be destroyed when she discovered what it does. Volvox and Tom were busy working on the light trains and set them up so people could go to the space station, "Okay, let's try it out." Volvox said, and a white train went into space at the speed of light, shocking the world's natives, they also saw them use bullet trains in the main city, the ponies were shocked, "Ah've never seen a train that fast before." Applejack said, "Me neither, Applejack, all of their science is beyond the physics and laws I know." Twilight Sparkle replied as she shuffled through her science books with her telekinesis, "I can't believe it, though, those trains go faster than the speed most Pegasi can fly at." Rainbow Dash said, the natives went over to Volvox's country and demanded the knowledge on the bullet trains, they were shocked by how fast and stable it was, they were taught how to control them, and they replaced the old trains of their world. Friends and Family Day came and Twilight Sparkle was expecting someone from Volvox's country to come, "This way." Grid said, and he brings Nick to the school, Twilight Sparkle trotted to him, "You the student?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yeah, name's Nick." Nick replied, "Uh, Grid, we would like for one of every creature to come to this school." Starlight Glimmer said, "They are too busy to attend, only Nick was available." Grid replied, So, Nick, what is there to know about you?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "My mom's here as well, but not to visit, it's to check something." Nick replied, "Where is she?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "She's coming." Nick replied, and they soon see Orchid come, they were bewildered by her outfit, "My, I must say, what a strange outfit." Rarity said, "It's kind of a uniform." Orchid replied, "Can you use your magic here, mom?" Nick asked, shocking the ponies, Orchid holds her arms out with her fingers and thumbs bent, they were across from one another, a yellow beam with gray rocks formed between her thumbs, green tornadoes formed between her pinkies, red and orange fire formed between her ring fingers, blue water formed between her index fingers, and purple electricity formed between her middle fingers, shocking the world's natives, she put her arms down and they disappeared, "Unlikely, the magic in this world is different from the magic in my world." Orchid replied, "Wait? Magic?" Spike asked, "Yeah, my mom's a sorceress." Nick replied, "Uh, what's your name?" Sunburst asked, "Orchid." Orchid replied, "How strong was your magic in your world, Orchid?" Sunburst asked, "I was one of the court wizards for the royal family." Orchid replied, surprising the natives, "What spells do you have, Orchid?" Princess Celestia asked, "I control the five elements of my world, fire, water, earth, wind, and lightning." Orchid replied, "Oh, so in other words, you control nature." Princess Luna said, "Yeah, pretty much." Orchid replied, "You should study with us, Orchid, our magic controls much more." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, I'll see if I have the energy." Orchid replied, "You going home, mom?" Nick asked, "Yeah, your father already approved to have you here." Orchid replied, "Alright, bye, mom." Nick said, "Bye." Orchid replied, and she walked back home, "What's your father like, Nick?" Fluttershy asked, "You already met him." Nick replied, "Wait, we did?" Gallus asked, Nick nodded, "That reminds me, someone from our country actually came here before, he is here as well." Grid said, and he walks over, the ponies were very surprised to see who it was, it was Dwayne. The Mane Six run to him and hug him, "Hey, Dwayne, how have you been?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I've been fine." Dwayne replied, "Are things better?" Rarity asked, "Much better." Dwayne replied, "How have your memories been?" Princess Cadence asked, "I've come to terms with them, I still have my powers." Dwayne replied, "You attendin', too, Dwayne?" Applejack asked, "No, I thought I'd just stop by and say hi." Dwayne replied, "Well, it's nice to see you again, Dwayne, and as I said, you're always welcome here." Princess Celestia said, Dwayne smiled, "It is time for us to go, Volvox has things for me to do." Grid said, "Alright, bye, guys." Twilight Sparkle replied, and Dwayne and Grid left. Nick does the work in the School of Friendship and the teachers eventually wanted to see if he had magic like Orchid, but she did not teach him, and he was too old to learn it now, so when he tried, he accidentally ended up transforming, the natives were shocked to see Nick was actually part human, part mutant, part machine, and part alien, they realized Harvey was his father, since he had the exact same mutations as him, they all learn about his adventures and Harvey being from a world where hybrids like himself were shunned and mistreated by society, and Volvox allowing them into his country so they can be free. One night, Nick was in the Crystal Empire, he was busy exploring the world as a tourist in his free time, he was standing outside while still mutated, shirtless, barefoot, and his pants were ripped and went halfway down his calves, he was looking at the full moon. Princess Cadence walked to him from behind, "Nick?" Princess Cadence asked, Nick did not respond, he just continued to look at the moon, Princess Cadence walked over and stood to his left, "Nick, what's wrong?" Princess Cadence asked, "I'm just thinking about my dad's home world, if we do find it, I'll have to leave the school to help him fight for the hybrids' freedom." Nick replied, "You sound like you admire your father." Princess Cadence said, "I do, back when I was a kid, he'd always talk about them, I thought he was just telling made up stories, when I went to his world, I realized he was telling the truth, and I regretted not spending time with him, we're close now." Nick replied, "Which parent do you admire more, Nick?" Princess Cadence asked, "Definitely my dad, my dad is a hero." Nick replied, "What about your mother?" Princess Cadence asked, "My mom didn't do much, her world is not like my dad's world, hybrids are admired, not shunned." Nick replied, "Nick, look at me." Princess Cadence said, and Nick did, "We all discussed what to do if we do find your father's world, we'll be going, too." Princess Cadence said, "What? Really?" Nick asked, "Yes, we all heard about your father's world from Volvox, about the discrimination and the shunning of the hybrids, if he does find it, we'll help, too, our goal is to spread friendship far and wide, no one deserves to be mistreated because of their heritage or physical appearance like those hybrids, they need to know that you, your father, and his friends are not the only ones who wish for them to be free." Princess Cadence replied, "Did dad tell you about the government doing experimentation on people they don't like to change them into hybrids?" Nick asked, "Yes, Volvox told us about that, too, no one deserves such a fate, not even a criminal, changing into something they're not so society would reject them is something we cannot forgive." Princess Cadence replied, "That's what happened to me, since I have the same genetic code as my dad, that world's top scientist made me into what I am, he was going to brainwash me into being his slave and personal assassin, but I escaped, and fought the government in that world, just like my father before me." Nick said, "What was your father like before he got changed into what he is now?" Princess Cadence asked, "The same as now, but he didn't have his abilities back then, my dad was always a hybrid sympathizer, they were killed by the law enforcement in his world." Nick replied, much to Princess Cadence's shock, "You mean, any attempt to help them was illegal?" Princess Cadence asked, "Yes, kids were taught that they are disgusting creatures, and should not receive help, children who did try to help them were offered to the government by their parents to change them into hybrids." Nick replied, Princess Cadence was horrified, "Are they accepted back by their parents?" Princess Cadence asked, "No, not at all, not only will their families reject them, but they will be arrested by the law, and forced to work as slaves, refusing to work will result in a death sentence." Nick replied, Princess Cadence had a shocked face, "Was your mother's world like that, too?" Princess Cadence asked, "No, not at all, the people there were very friendly, hybrids are treated with respect because they have more work and responsibilities than those who are not hybrids." Nick replied, Princess Cadence smiled, "You should head home, Nick, it's getting dark, I have to get some sleep." Princess Cadence said, "Alright, good night, Cadence." Nick replied, and she left, Nick just looked at the moon for the rest of the night. Three weeks pass and Volvox still had an overall strained relationship with the other countries, the world's natives were using some of their technology to get around and get things done, they fused their technology with their magic to create new things. A portal opens and dead hybrids pour out of the sky, it closed, everybody looked at it, "I recognize some of them, they're from my world, the dead bodies of the hybrids they're enslaving must be too much, so they dumped them elsewhere." Harvey said, "Hold on, let me try something." the Count of Saint Germain replied, and he tried to open a portal to Harvey's world, he could not, he shook his head. The world's natives look at the hybrids and see they came in many different shapes and sizes, "Well, let's bury them." Dommiel said, everybody agreed and they were buried. Months pass and Twilight Sparkle was trying to figure out how the machines predicted the future with numerology, she was also informed where Salatun was at, she used her telescope to look at the Taurus constellation in hopes of finding it, and Rainbow Dash wanted Tank to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, "Volvox, the quantum tearing device is ready just as we expected, we can return home." Grid said, "You sound like you knew it would be repaired at this time." Volvox replied, "It was predicted by numerology." Grid said, Volvox did not pay attention and told Grid to use it without saying anything. Pinkie Pie was trying out the smell-o-scope, "That was stinky." Pinkie Pie said, "You just smelled Uranus." Lance replied, the natives of the country laugh, Pinkie Pie did not laugh, "I want raspberry glaze, vanilla scented, chocolate turnover!" Pinkie Pie said angrily, "Alright, hang on." Lance replied, and he adjusted it to Pluto, Pinkie Pie smelled it, "Ooh, rock candy with chocolate." Pinkie Pie said, and she tried it out more, only Uranus smelled bad. A few days pass and the people of the country were ready to head home, they all said bye and they teleported their country back to where it was originally at after getting it back in space, Volvox continued to look for Harvey's world. Scootaloo flew around with anti-gravity boots, Princess Ember used lightsabers, the royal guards now all had bio-armor, and everybody else tried out their technology, their world developed into ways they thought was never possible.
FantasyVolvox was created by the Maker to watch Earth and direct the humans, even though he was the very first species to exist on the planet. Volvox watched the angels and demons get created, he befriended Dommiel, a demon, and now served as his right hand man, the humans were created afterwards. The Maker wanted Volvox to make the humans develop with either magic or science, both had downsides, science was going to be extremely advanced eventually, but it would take thousands of years to fully develop, while magic will be powerful at the beginning, it was a non-renewable resource, it will get weaker as the years went by, and would eventually be gone. Volvox decided to have the humans develop in magic, he watched them develop and control nature. There were only four elements to control in the beginning, they were fire, water, earth, and wind, after sometime, much more magic was discovered, some harmed, some helped. The humans were not the only creatures living on Earth, they also had orcs, trolls, ghouls, and goblins. The humans evolved and changed into new creatures as they learned magic, those who learned fire evolved into giants, those who learned water evolved into mermen, mermaids, and nymphs, those who learned earth evolved into dwarfs, and those who learned wind evolved into elves and fairies, some humans learned more than one element, but they remained human. Volvox's land had two elements that were considered forbidden arts, light and dark, humans who practiced light magic turned into angels, while those who practiced dark magic turned into demons, light and dark were much more powerful than the four main elements, they evolved as well, fire users were able to control lava, water users were able to control ice and snow, earth users were able to control the rocks, the ground, sand, wood, and stones, and wind users were able to control the atmosphere and sky. Volvox's land was an island in the center of the Earth, and divided into five areas, the north was volcanic and hot, the west was filled with water and had ice caps everywhere, the south was all forest and had trees everywhere, the east was floating in the air with each part of the land in the sky, there was brown dirt on the ground under the wind kingdom, and the center was like a modern neighborhood with a fortress where Volvox lived, none of the elements affected it. Volvox did not live alone in his gray fortress, his second-in-command and military general was Dommiel, he lived before the humans did, and has been with Volvox since the beginning, his adviser was the Count of Saint Germain, who was a time traveler and alchemist, his personal bodyguard was a ghoul named Giovi, who had knife blades in place for his claws, Volvox rescued him from execution years ago, his court wizard and other prophet was Tom, he would tell people of their futures, he had two pet birds with him, they were Phoenix and Thunderbird, Phoenix was made purely out of orange fire, and Thunderbird was made purely out of blue electricity, Volvox has raised them since birth, Volvox's last twelve members of his court were a group called the Zodiac, they were mystical animals, they were Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Sheep's real name was Goat, but he liked being called Sheep better, Tiger and Dragon were the commanders, the two have fought for Volvox's favoritism, but he has assured them numerous times that he likes them both equally, and they should stop fighting, each one of the twelve animals had their own unique powers, they were led by one of Dommiel's friends, his name was Tiān lù, he was a Pixiu, and hired to keep Tiger and Dragon in line, so they do not try anything reckless to win Volvox's approval. It was modern day and magic was still strong, despite not being as strong as before, due to magic being a non-renewable resource, they had two foreigners in their world, they were both from another world, their names were Harvey and Orchid. Harvey was part human, part mutant, part machine, and part alien, he was about six feet tall, had slightly tan skin, an ectomorph body, toned muscles, an oblong face shape, and short black hair. The upper-right part of Harvey's face was robotic, made out of silver metal, and had a red slanted eye, his left cheek was alien with dark red skin, his human eye was blue, his right foot was an alien's foot with black claws for his toenails, while his left foot was robotic and silver, his right hand was robotic, and could change to a gun, his left hand was alien with the dark red and dark orange skin with black claws, he had the wings of the aliens coming out of his back, they had silver robotic parts on them, gills on the sides of his neck, Harvey's abdomen was silver and metallic in some places, dark red with alien skin in other areas, and the rest was fine, and he had the alien's tail coming out of his tailbone, Harvey could make the three horns of the aliens extrude from his head at will, it was one of the four mutant qualities he got, the other three were having telekinesis, telepathy, and technopathy, Harvey only had on one piece of clothing, a black pair of pants that were ripped at his lower shins. Orchid had pale skin, an hourglass body shape, an inverted triangle face, green eyes, and red hair that was a bob and went just past her ears, she was wearing a long-sleeve shirt, pants, and shoes, she had on a cape that went halfway down her back, they were all a light beige color, she had five small jewels that were circular in the center of her chest on her shirt, they formed a star, the left jewel was a red ruby, the lower-left jewel was a yellow topaz, the lower-right jewel was a green emerald, the right jewel was a blue sapphire, and the top jewel was a purple amethyst, each jewel represented one of the five elements Orchid controlled, the ruby represented fire, the topaz represented earth, the sapphire represented water, the emerald represented wind, and the amethyst represented lightning. Orchid's world was said to be very similar to Volvox's land, but the center of the world was also a kingdom, it had lightning in it, her world had hybrids which used more than one element, they were admired and loved by everyone, but they had more responsibilities in society because the royal family believed it would be unfair for those who could only use one element if they had to run society and politics as well, while they did not run society, they still had a say in what they wanted. Orchid was one of the six court wizards for the royal family, she controlled the five elements of her world, and was chosen to fight a man named Egliatos, he was a master of dark magic and necromancy, he destroyed Orchid's home, she and the other five were unsuccessful in defeating him, and he went into hiding. Orchid came to the current world because she wanted to take a break from fighting Egliatos, she met Harvey and they had a son named Nick, before that, the two built a house in the woods for them to leave behind the things of their previous lives that they did not want to take with them. The two were eventually found by a man from Harvey's world named Daraster and the two were poisoned and killed by him, Harvey told Nick about the location of the house and he went to Harvey's world, he was experimented on and received the same mutations as his father, and met a boy named Lance, who also had the same mutations, he was living with the three now. Nick went to Orchid's world afterwards and learned his mother was a sorceress, which surprised him, because she did not teach him any magic when she was alive. Nick eventually made an antidote and went back in time with magic from Orchid's world and science from Harvey's world, he went back to when the two were dying and gave them the antidote and they survived the poisoning, they then went through the portal and came to the present. Nick had a square face shape, short black hair, and blue eyes, he wore the same outfit was his father, along with black mid-calf length boots, and a black leather jacket, Lance had a rectangular face shape, short black hair, and only wore black pants, he had the exact same mutations as Harvey, and did not hide them. Tom came in to see Volvox and the others after working for the day, "Volvox, I have foreseen disaster." Tom said with his voice echoing, he wore a black helmet that covered his entire head, it was round like a sphere, and he had white monochromatic eyes, "What did you find?" Volvox asked, "Cyborea Iscariot is going to rise against us. She has twelve monsters, they are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, four unspecified beasts, Leviathan, Behemoth, Ziz, Popobawa, and her son, Judas Iscariot." Tom replied, "What do the four beasts look like?" Tiger asked, "I don't know, I was not able to see what they look like." Tom replied, "Where are they now?" Dommiel asked, "Scattered throughout the land." Tom replied, "Should we just take out Cyborea and be done with it?" Tiān lù asked, "No, if we do that, another might take over, we have to take out all of them." Volvox replied, "I say we take them out now." Dragon said, "I agree, let's kill them before they team up." the Count of Saint Germain replied, Giovi nodded in agreement, Phoenix and Thunderbird screeched with agreement, Volvox exhaled sharply, "Let's take them out now, but I also have a royal errand today, Orchid wants to see if we can try to find her world today since there's going to be a solar eclipse soon, she believes it's going to make finding her world easier." Volvox said, "I have foreseen that as well, disappointment awaits." Tom replied, "What did you see, exactly?" Volvox asked, "We are going to get transferred to a world of magic, but not Orchid's world." Tom replied, they hear walking and they see Orchid come in, "Orchid? But you're off today." Volvox said, "Nick and Lance are being too loud, Harvey's not helping either, so I'm coming here." Orchid replied, and she sits and begins reading a book, "Are you going to help us with Cyborea?" Rat asked, "Depends, I'm still tired from fighting Lucifer and his six princes." Orchid replied, "Uh, Volvox? The solar eclipse is about to happen." Monkey said, Orchid looks and puts her book down, "You know you won't find Orchid's world, and yet, you continue to try anyway?" Tom asked, "You can't always be right, Tom." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "I'd like to know why you're here, you're the one who can travel to the future." Tom said, "But knowing what will happen is no fun, I want it to be a surprise." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Me too." Dommiel said, "Plus, Saint Germain gets tired from using his powers, you don't." Volvox said, "Okay, fair enough." Tom replied, "Okay, let's get ready." Volvox said, and they see the solar eclipse happen, Volvox, Orchid, and the Count of Saint Germain get ready to cast a spell together, and they transfer the entire land elsewhere. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs were living peacefully, they all sense a surge of magic that was to the northeast of Canterlot and to the southeast of the Crystal Empire. Everybody looks and watches since the surge was huge, several gasp when blue electricity appeared. The surge disappears and Volvox's land appears. The natives of the world were in awe at how much nature there was to it, the north was filled with volcanoes, the west had water and ice caps everywhere, the south had trees and forest everywhere, and the east had all of its land floating in the sky, "Wow, that place is beautiful." Twilight Sparkle said, "I can't wait, either, I want to see all of the critters living there." Fluttershy replied, their four other friends smiled. Everybody sees Volvox appear in the center of the land, on top of his fortress, the world's natives were shocked by how big he was, they hear floating and see Orchid appear in midair, Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer were especially surprised, they have never seen a human with magic before, "Is this your home world?" Volvox asked with his center head, his voice scared some of the natives, "No, it isn't." Orchid replied, "As I said, disappointment awaits." Tom said as he floated up to her, "Don't you ever have false visions?" Orchid asked, "My visions of the future have never been wrong." Tom replied, surprising the world's natives to see they had magic. Everybody hears movement and they see the creatures of Volvox's world, they see the giants in the north, mermen, mermaids, and nymphs in the west, dwarfs in the south, and elves and fairies in the east, but to Volvox's surprise, there were more creatures, the north now also had centaurs, oreads, golems, and Valkyries, the west had selkies, swan maidens, hyades, sirens, nereids, naiads, and oceanids, the south had alseides, auloniades, leimakides, napaeae, oreads, anthousai, dryads, hamadryade, hyleoroi, and satyrs, the east had hesperides, Nephele, sphinxes, and harpies, "What the? What happened to you guys?" Volvox asked, "Sorry, Volvox, we got a little too carried away while practicing magic." a female harpy replied, the sky begins forming around and everybody sees angels fly down, they were in awe at their white wings with yellow auras around them, the ground bursts open and the demons come out, along with vampires, werewolves, specters, wraiths, the jinn, three Gorgons, incubi, succubi, and alps, "Where are the rest of the creatures? Come out, all of you." Volvox said, and they do, the orcs lived in the north, the trolls lived on the ice caps in the west, and the ghouls and goblins lived in the south, "Volvox, we also found more monsters." a mermaid said, and Volvox saw Scylla and Charybdis in the west, he saw Talos in the north, the Laestrygonians in the west, cyclopes in the south, and ekeks and wakwaks in the east. The world's natives were very shocked by how many creatures they had, "Wow, Ah gotta admit, they've got more creatures than we do." Applejack said, "Yeah, but they seem to have less countries, it looks like they only have five countries." Rainbow Dash replied, "Their magic looks different from ours, too, I wonder what they do." Twilight Sparkle said, Volvox looks at the creatures native to his land and he gets ready to address them, "As you all know, we're trying to find Orchid's world so she could go home, but unfortunately, we found the wrong one, I'm going to have to advise you all to hide for now, Cyborea Iscariot and her army is coming to fight us, I'm going to need you all to stay within your respective countries until my court and I deal with them, and of course, if you feel courageous or feel like helping, you're more than welcome to." Volvox said, the citizens all then went back into their homes, ignoring the natives that watched them, "Alright, Zodiac, let's go." Tiān lù said, and he flies into the air with the twelve Zodiac animals, the world's natives were in awe, "You should go with them, too, Tom." Volvox said, and he floated to them, everybody went on with their days while Volvox, Dommiel, Giovi, and the Count of Saint Germain searched for Orchid's world. Tom floats with the twelve Zodiac animals and Tiān lù, "Where are the beasts right now?" Rat asked, "There are five to the east, five to the west, two in the south, and Judas is going around everywhere." Tom replied, "Judas? That sounds familiar." Dog said, "He was the second-in-command of Mabus when he and Jesus fought many years ago, he is a war criminal that escaped justice." Tom replied, "How do you see the future anyway?" Cat asked, "The helmet I wear allows me to see the future, it is the Helmet of Nostradamus, it was made for me when I was his student." Tom replied, "I heard you had two teachers." Dragon said, "Yes, my other teacher was Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin, he taught me how to see into the future without the helmet." Tom replied, "What are you foreseeing with our battles?" Ox asked, "We will battle the monsters and emerge victorious in every one." Tom replied, "Who am I fighting?" Rat asked, "You will fight the first beast." Tom replied, "What about me?" Ox asked, "You're up against the second beast." Tom replied, "Who am I fighting against?" Tiger asked, "The third beast." Tom replied, "How about me?" Rabbit asked, "The White Horseman." Tom replied, "Who am I fighting?" Dragon asked, "The fourth beast." Tom replied, "What about me?" Snake asked, "The Pale Horseman." Tom replied, "Who am I fighting?" Horse asked, "Ziz." Tom replied, "How about me?" Sheep asked, "The Black Horseman." Tom replied, "What about me?" Monkey asked, "Behemoth." Tom replied, "Who am I up against?" Rooster asked, "The Red Horseman." Tom replied, "How about me?" Dog asked, "Leviathan." Tom replied, "What about me?" Pig asked, "The Popobawa." Tom replied, "Who am I up against?" Tiān lù asked, "Cyborea, herself." Tom replied, "Wait, who's up against Judas?" Dog asked, "I am." Tom replied, "Let's stick together, in case we have to back up one another in a fight." Tiān lù said, the Zodiac animals agreed, "What is Volvox doing right now?" Tiger asked, "He is currently meeting with the Hero from the Sky, Ash Williams." Tom replied, and they keep going forward. Volvox and his court were meeting with a man named Ash Williams, he had pale skin, short black hair, an oblong face shape, and brown eyes, he wore a dark blue long-sleeve shirt with most of the left half torn off, his pants were brown, and he wore black shoes, he had a holster on his back that held a sawed double barreled shotgun, and a red chainsaw in place of his right hand, which he lost one night while he was staying at a cabin, "Okay, Ash, I know you're still tired from your night in the cabin, and dealing with deadites, but you're the best line of defense I have for the people." Volvox said, "Best line of defense? Why don't you fight them on your own?" Ash asked, "Because I have other things to do at the moment." Volvox replied, "Yeah? Like what? Revive the deadites with the Book of the Dead?" Ash asked, "Look, Ash, I know you're still mad about that, but I have the Book of the Dead sealed away along with the other cursed objects." Volvox replied, "Well, I ain't helpin, Cerberus, the only place I help is the S-Mart store, and that place also sucks." Ash said, "I'm only asking you to try to do some good for the country, Ash." Volvox said, "Good? I'm the man with the gun, I could care less about your stinkin' country." Ash said, Orchid glared at him, "What would Linda say if she heard you now?" Volvox asked, "She would be proud of me, my mouth is why she fell in love with me." Ash replied, Orchid was shocked, "You... had a girlfriend?" Orchid asked, "Plenty, in fact." Ash replied, "How did she kiss with that mouth of hers when she was a deadite?" Dommiel asked, "It was less than groovy, I'll tell you that." Ash replied, Dommiel and the Count of Saint Germain laugh, Giovi smiled, "Why did you come to me for, Volvox?" Ash asked, "Because you're the most experienced when it comes to dealing with supernatural threats." Volvox replied, "Tell Pinhead and his cenobites to deal with them instead." Ash said, "There is no way I am using the Lament Configuration, Ash, it's staying locked away." Volvox replied, "How about the Tall Man?" Ash asked, "He's dead." Volvox replied, "Totoro." Ash said, "He's missing." Volvox replied, "Akuji." Ash said, "He's missing, too." Volvox replied, "Really? Last time I checked, Akuji was with Baron Samedi." Ash said, "Well, I'll ask Papa Legba to bring him back later." Volvox replied, "If we're done here, I'd like to go back, and tell me when you find my hand." Ash said, "Alright, Ash, you may leave." Volvox replied, and he used telekinesis to take Ash off of his fortress' roof and put him on the ground. Ash begins to walk home and saw Doctor Whooves, "Great wickering stallions! Ashley J. Williams, it's you, the Hero from the Sky!" Doctor Whooves said, "How the hell do you know my name?" Ash asked, "I was there! In 1300 AD!" Doctor Whooves replied, "Yeah? Well, I didn't see you." Ash said, "Why, I was far away, watching you." Doctor Whooves replied, "Well, stop stalking me, or I'm going to fill your nose with lead from my boomstick." Ash said, and he walked past him, he saw the Mane Six in front of him, "That's enough, you clearly need some lessons in friendship." Twilight Sparkle said, "The only friends I need are my chainsaw and my boomstick." Ash replied, "What in tarnation is a boomstick and a chainsaw?" Applejack asked, "Oh, you're one of those redneck people, you guys never were good with modern technology." Ash replied, "Hey!" Applejack said in an offended tone, "How offensively rude! Applejack here is a very hard worker." Rarity said, "So am I, I was fighting evil in the past, and it came into this timeline, I'm taking a break right now." Ash replied, "Hey, wait a minute. Didn't Doctor Whooves say you were a hero?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Darn right I am, I was known as the Hero from the Sky seven hundred years ago." Ash replied, shocking the six, "You? A hero?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Got a problem?" Ash asked, "Yes, you don't act like a hero." Fluttershy replied, "Not all heroes are goody two shoes." Ash said, "Well, you have a lot to learn, you could learn a thing or two about friendship." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Save your friendship crap for later, I've got a home to fortify." Ash said, and he walked away while the Mane Six watch him, "Ugh, I cannot believe him, how unbelievably rude!" Rarity said, "No kiddin', he called me a redneck, Ah ain't no redneck, Ah'm a true southerner." Applejack replied, "Uh, now's not the time to enter my country, ladies, we're busy dealing with a threat." Volvox said from the top of his fortress, "Can we help?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Well... I'll see how my people do first, I might if things go bad, but you six should leave, it's for your own safeties." Volvox replied, the Mane Six smiled, "We appreciate your concern, we'll be in Ponyville if you need us." Twilight Sparkle said, and Twilight Sparkle teleports herself and her friends back home. Princess Celestia looked on and smiled, she was sensing that the people in the new area were friendly. Tom, Tiān lù, and the twelve Zodiac animals walk together, "The Four Horseman are going to appear soon, they are in the east." Tom said, "Of course, it's still strange, none of the seven seals has been broken." Tiān lù replied, "The first four have been broken, but it was not done by the lamb, it was not done by Cyborea, either." Tom said, "Then who could have done it?" Tiger asked, "I cannot make out the being in my predictions, yet, but it is huge." Tom replied, "Could it be Apep?" Dragon asked, "The being in my visions has multiple heads." Tom replied, shocking the other thirteen. The fourteen arrive at the east and float up, onto the land. The fourteen look around and see the citizens have hid, they hear thunder in the sky, the world's natives look on, "Come." a deep male voice said, they were able to tell it was not the lamb, they hear horses neighing and they see the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, they were all skeletal and wore black cloaks, one had a gold crown on his head and held a brown bow in his left hand, he rode a white horse, one had a broadsword with a silver blade and a black guard and handle, he rode a red horse, one had black balancing scales in his right hand, he rode a black horse, and one carried a scythe with a light brown wooden handle and silver blade, he rode a pale horse. The world's natives see the Four Horsemen in the sky and the ponies were very shocked by what they saw, "Who are those guys?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "I don't know, I don't have any books on who they are." Twilight Sparkle replied, the Four Horsemen go down with their horses and were riding on the air, "Rabbit, Rooster, Sheep, Snake, go!" Tiān lù said, and they go forward. Rabbit jumps around while the White Horseman shoots arrows at him, he dodges each one and sees the White Horseman was trying to use his magic to make Volvox's kingdom and the four countries bend down to his rule, Rabbit gets shot by an arrow; the ponies gasp while Fluttershy watched with horror; Rabbit uses his magic to make himself change into a ball of fur, he fell down, the White Horseman became confused, he was kicked in the back of the head by Rabbit and fell down, he disappeared, Fluttershy was relieved to see he was alright. Rooster runs on the air and the Red Horseman's horse was running to him, he was using his mind to start civil wars in the five countries, he dodged every attack from the Red Horseman, he opens his mouth and screams out purple sonic waves, the Red Horseman cut them apart. Rooster absorbs sunlight and transforms into a basilisk, the Red Horseman looks around while he swings his sword around, so did his horse, Rooster touched him and he fell over and disappeared. The Black Horseman moves his scales up and down to control the economy, Volvox's land used assarius as currency, the Black Horseman made a quart of wheat cost a denarius, and three quarts of barley cost a denarius, his powers mainly affected the south. Sheep used his powers to make food grow and keep the south from going hungry, the Black Horseman used his scales to make the shift around as tectonic plates, Volvox used his telekinesis to fix them. Sheep rams his horns into the black horse, it did nothing, so he turns into water and disappears, water comes out of the west and the Black Horseman was shocked, he is washed away by the tsunami, it comes together and forms back into Sheep. Snake slithers on the air and goes to the Pale Horseman, he wraps around the Pale Horseman, he cuts him apart with his scythe, Fluttershy was too scared to watch. Snake severed body parts regenerate and he has created doppelgangers of himself from his severed body parts, much to the Pale Horseman's shock. Snake looks and sees the Pale Horseman killed whatever he rode over, he decided he had to stop him quickly, so he puts his body back together into one, extended his own size with magic, and wrapped around the Pale Horseman and broke his bones, he fell down while the pale horse disappeared. The four Zodiac animals go back and they were ready to leave, "Wait, not yet, there's still one more." Tom said, and they see the sun get blocked out, they all saw a giant griffon-like bird, they realized it was Ziz. The world's natives look at the sky and were shocked to see Ziz, he was huge, his wingspan blocked out the entire sun. Ziz flies to the fourteen watching him, "You are supposed to protect this land, Ziz." Tom said, "I have no interest in protecting humans." Ziz replied, "It has cost you your soul." Tom said, "Remember, Horse, you're up." Tiān lù said, "Oh, right." Horse replied, and he ran on the air. Ziz was ready to catch him with his talons, but Horse turned into black gusts and disappeared, Ziz looks for the brown horse, he does not find him. Horse reappears and had a greenish-white tornado around him, it destroyed whatever was nearby, he goes to Ziz and tries to use it on him, it had no effect, Ziz laughed as Horse tried his best. Screeching was heard and they look, they saw Phoenix flying to Horse, Princess Celestia's attention was caught, she has never seen a phoenix literally made out of fire before. Phoenix shoots fire out of his mouth and into Horse's tornado, the fire and wind mix together, Ziz got burned, he screamed and disappeared, Phoenix flew back to Volvox's fortress, "Wow, five down already." Tiger said, "No kidding, this might not take long after all." Dragon replied, "Let's go, the next creatures are appearing in the west." Tom said, and they go to the water area. Volvox stood at the top of his fortress and looked at his main kingdom, there was mostly grassland everywhere, even though they were developed in magic, they still had automobiles, aircraft, watercraft, power lines, phones, computers, TVs, and so on. Volvox watched Orchid closely since her culture and beliefs were completely different from the cultures of his land, he did not think she was the best mother, though. Volvox sees Orchid go to her home and saw she lived far away from the others, Nick and Lance were running around while Harvey chased them, Orchid sighed and she sat on the grass and began reading a book. Harvey, Nick, and Lance play for several more minutes and Harvey got tired, "Hold on, you two, I have to rest." Harvey said, "Please, Harvey?" Lance asked, "Sorry, but I'm out of energy." Harvey replied, "Okay." Lance said, and he went into the house. Nick walked over to Orchid, "Mom?" Nick asked, "What?" Orchid asked as she looked at him, "Are you a hybrid in your world?" Nick asked, "No." Orchid replied, "Then why do you control the five elements of your world?" Nick asked, "What do you know about my home world?" Orchid asked, "Plenty." Nick replied, "Like what?" Orchid asked, "It had five kingdoms, the north was fire, the west was water, the south was earth, the east was wind, and the center was lightning, each kingdom had humans, but they evolved differently because of the elements they used, humans who used fire changed into these big and muscular guys called dwarfs, humans who used water changed into merfolk, humans who used earth changed into elves, and humans who used wind changed into fairies, while the humans who used lightning didn't change." Nick replied, "There's more than just humans living in my world, Nick." Orchid said, "I know, there's four other species', I'm friends with one from each one." Nick replied, "Who and what are they, then?" Orchid asked, "I met all five of them together, one was Mercer, he's a magperson, a humanoid person made out of magma, his body was black, hard as rock, and had red lines it, he was the most aggressive member. My next friend was Silver, she was a ningen, she was bipedal, her body's mostly white, she has fins on her wrists and ankles, gills on her neck, she has fingers and toes like a human, and her face was a bit like a bird's, she even had a beak, she was the only member who could breathe underwater. My third friend was Rock, he was a golem, he was made purely out of dark yellowish-brown rock, his eyes were just spaces in the rock, he had a mouth to speak with, though, he was our strongest fighter. My fourth friend was Aero, she was an aviator, she was a humanoid eagle, her body was covered in brown feathers, but her head was covered in white feathers, she even had long white hair, she was our fastest fighter, and the only one who could fly. My last friend was Alice, she was a regular human girl, but had control over lightning magic, she was the one who kept us together, she was also the most compassionate and empathetic of us." Nick explained, "Oh, so you did meet the other species'." Orchid said, "I met all five of them at the same time." Nick replied, "Sounds like you had an adventure without me." Lance said, "I'm sorry, Lance, but before I was able to save you from dying the first time, I went to mom's world unknowingly, Alice was actually the same age as you." Nick replied, "Was her world like mine?" Harvey asked, "No, they have kingdoms instead of countries, and they're not side-to-side like the countries in your world, dad, the kingdoms were all either in the north, south, east, west, and center, there's five areas to live instead of four. There's no industrialization there, it's all nature, and they have very little technology, nowhere near as advanced as your world, and not as advanced as this world. The people were not mean like dad's world, they were friendly, and they had a lot of houses and several temples." Nick replied, "You said they had hybrids too, Nick?" Lance asked, "Yeah, they're admired in mom's world instead of being shunned like in dad's world." Nick replied, "How many hybrids did you meet?" Orchid asked, "A lot, but I only got the names of the royal family." Nick replied, "So you met Emperor Khan and Empress Noelle, they're the only two to be hybrids of all of the other countries, Khan is a hybrid of a human, a magperson, a ningen, a golem, and an aviator, while Noelle is a hybrid of a human, a dwarf, a mermaid, an elf, and a fairy." Orchid said, "How do merfolk walk on land?" Lance asked, "They can change their fins to legs and feet." Nick replied, "Oh." Lance said, "I'm surprised you're not a hybrid, mom." Nick said, Orchid glared at him, "Do I look like a hybrid to you?" Orchid asked, "No, but in dad's world, they have this technological device called skin paint, it allows the hybrid to paint fake skin onto themselves to cover their hybrid features." Nick replied, "We don't have anything like that in my world." Orchid said, "Not even a spell to hide your hybrid features?" Nick asked, "No." Orchid replied, "I still want to learn about you before you had me, mom." Nick said, "Nick, we've been through this, my life before I had you is none of your business." Orchid replied, "Can I at least get to know my ancestors?" Nick asked, "No." Orchid replied, "Why not?" Nick asked, "I told you before, Nick, you are an individual person, who your ancestors were, and what they did doesn't matter." Orchid replied, "They're still his family, Orchid." Harvey said, "Did you share your family with him, Harvey?" Orchid asked, "I tried to, but the government of my world destroyed all of the documents, and you know Nick wouldn't listen to me back then." Harvey replied, "No wonder why I never learned about my ancestors from my dad's side." Nick said, "Well, I have nothing to say about my family tree, Nick, you won't learn much anyway." Orchid replied, "Can I at least know their names?" Nick asked, "No." Orchid replied, "It's no use, Nick, your mom's not going to tell you anything." Harvey said, "You act just like my parents, Orchid." Lance said, "Not my problem." Orchid replied, "Let your mom read, guys, it's her break time." Harvey said, "I still bummed out mom didn't teach me magic." Nick replied, "That's because I wasn't in the mood to deal with a trouble making child with magic." Orchid said, "Can you teach me now?" Nick asked, "You're too old to learn now, you have to start when you're four." Orchid replied, Nick was disappointed, "I've got my energy back, guys, come on, let's play somewhere else." Harvey said, and he and the two boys leave while Orchid continues reading a book. Volvox was listening and writing what Orchid said about her world, he took notes about it with a paper and pencil while using telekinesis on them, he kept them in his throne room and used the new information in hopes of finding Orchid's world. Princess Celestia continued looking at Volvox's land, it has intrigued her, she saw the magic they used, she was wondering about it. Twilight Sparkle trotted to her and stood on the balcony with her, "Oh, Twilight, I didn't hear you coming." Princess Celestia said, "You look interested in that land, Princess Celestia." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Of course, Twilight, look, we can see they have magic, but their magic controls fire, water, earth, and wind, in other words, their magic is different from ours." Princess Celestia said, "I want to learn their magic, then." Twilight Sparkle replied, Princess Celestia laughed, "Patience, Twilight, they're busy right now, I'm sure you'll have the time soon." Princess Celestia said, "That reminds me, when me and the others went there, Doctor Whooves actually recognized one of them, he said something about that man being called the Hero from the Sky, but he was very rude and dismissive." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Yes, Twilight, I heard him as well, that man is clearly not hero material, he would not bear an Element of Harmony in this world, I hope other heroes over there aren't like that." Princess Celestia said, "I'm also wondering about those four skeletons on the horses." Twilight Sparkle replied, "As am I, I've been wondering who they were." Princess Celestia said, "If it's possible, I also want to spread friendship to their land." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I think they already have it, Twilight, but making their friendship stronger with us wouldn't hurt, either." Princess Celestia said, "I think that's a good idea, the ruler seemed friendly, too, he told us to leave his country because he didn't want us to get hurt." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, that's very kind of him, I think we're going to get along just fine." Princess Celestia said, the two smiled as they looked at Volvox's land, seeing the potential to make new friends. Tom, Tiān lù, and the twelve Zodiac animals go to the west and see Canterlot, they saw Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia watching them, "Uh, Tom." Rat said, "Ignore them, the four beasts are appearing." Tom replied, the water moves up and four monsters came out, the world's natives looked on with horror at what they saw, the first beast was a lion with the wings of an eagle, the second beast was a bear with three ribs between its teeth, the third beast was a leopard with four heads and four wings, and the fourth beast was a tyrannosaurus with large iron teeth and ten horns on its head. The four beasts begin heading to land, "Okay, Rat, Ox, Tiger, Dragon, go!" Tom said, and they do. Rat runs towards the first beast and it immediately bites him, but Rat turns into a shadow and disappears, Rat reappears from a shadow on the ground, he comes out of it and creates duplicates of himself, he had a kunai between each toe of his front right foot in each of his duplicates. The first beast was about to attack, but he felt ill, he exclaims with shock, "That's right, my body is filled with diseases, you sickened yourself when you bit me." Rat said, the first beast wheezes as he gets sick, Fluttershy was watching with horror, Rat throws the kunais into him and destroys the first beast, his duplicates go back into him and he jumps back while the first beast disappeared. The second beast goes forward and Ox ran to fight it, the second beast tries to slash Ox, but Ox makes his own skin harden, he endured the attacks with no pain, he grows bigger and wrestles the second beast, he grows bigger and picks the second beast off of the ground, he smashes him into an ice cap and he disappeared, Ox changed back to normal and ran back. The third beast flew forward and Tiger went to fight him, the beast flew to him and Tiger roared with fire coming out of his mouth, he lunged forward. The third beast tried biting Tiger, but it could not pierce his hide, he looks and sees Tiger has changed his body into metal, he begins to slash the third beast, it was overwhelmed by Tiger, he also uses his power to manipulate metal from the south and fire from the north, he melts the metal with the fire and the liquid metal falls onto the third beast and encases it, it disappeared, Tiger changes back and runs back. The fourth beast walks forward slowly while Dragon floated to it with his long body, he stood up and watched the fourth beast carefully before deciding on what he should do. The fourth beast runs to Dragon and tries to impale him with his ten horns, but Dragon makes an ice cap come out of the water with his magic, which traps the fourth beast's horns in it, Dragon then breathed fire out of his mouth and burned the fourth beast. Dragon makes boulders appear in the sky and uses wind magic to force them down onto the fourth beast, but they broke when they hit him, so he holds his front legs out and makes wood appear around him, he sets them on fire with his fire breath and shoots them at the fourth beast. The fourth beast gets its horns out and jumps up, it bites Dragon, but hurts its own teeth, it sees Dragon has changed his body into rock, Dragon shoots ice out of his mouth and freezes the fourth beast, it sinks to the bottom of the water, he goes underwater and sees the fourth beast frozen, he makes a boulder appear above it and the fourth beast gets smashed and it disappears, Dragon swims out and goes back to the others. The fourteen watch and they hear rumbling in the water, "Get ready, Dog, Leviathan is appearing." Tom said, and Leviathan came out of the water, he was a serpent, "I am Leviathan, Prince of Envy." Leviathan said, "I thought you were a female." Dog replied, "That's my sister, the Maker killed her." Leviathan said, and his eyes glow green, he makes the people become filled with jealousy and they start attacking one another. Dog makes two heads appear, they were to the sides of his main head, he grows in size and was about the same size of Leviathan. Dog runs to him and begins trying to slash him, but Leviathan makes green snakes appear and they tangle Dog, but he grows in size again and destroys the snakes. Dog grows wings out of his back and flies to Leviathan, he makes fire appear all around him and changes his three heads to the shape of an axe. Dog begins cutting Leviathan into pieces, but Leviathan uses his powers to activate a device in Volvox's fortress. The device floats up and everybody sees the Lament Configuration float up, it activates and Pinhead, Butterball, Female, and Chatterer, the world's natives scream in horror at the appearances of the cenobites, "Now, serve me and destroy this being." Leviathan said, "No." Pinhead replied, "What?" Leviathan asked, "We have been shown we were all once humans, and you have changed us, we do not serve you any longer." Pinhead said, Leviathan was shocked, Dog used the opportunity to use his heads to cut Leviathan apart with his heads as axes, Leviathan was destroyed, but his green snakes were not, Thunderbird shoots blue electricity at them and destroys them, it flew back to Volvox's kingdom, the world's natives were curious about that bird. Dog changes back to his regular form and goes back while Charybdis sucked the snakes into herself, "I never did get your powers." Ox said, "It's complicated, I have many powers." Dog replied, "It is time to head south, Behemoth and Popobawa await." Tom said, and they all go to the south. Volvox sends the cenobites back into the box and looks around his kingdom again, he was careful with modern technology, a lot of things have happened already in his native world, Tartarus was under a high school, a foggy world in a TV, and a world of a person's twisted desires that can be entered through an app on a phone. The Count of Saint Germain comes back from the future, "I was not able to discover who broke the first four seals, Volvox." the Count of Saint Germain said, "I see, I may have an idea on who it was." Volvox replied, "I have to admit, we have had many threats in our land, I lost track of them." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Uh... um... I don't remember any of them." Volvox replied, "I mean, it's not just people who were threats, don't forget those cursed objects in your quarters." Dommiel said, "I haven't, I'm keeping them heavily guarded." Volvox replied, "That reminds me, we should see how our citizens are doing." the Count of Saint Germain said, Volvox nodded and he stands on top of his fortress. Volvox looks around and sees his citizens were all inside, but Ash was busy partying and getting drunk, while Orchid was still sitting on the grass and reading. Harvey, Nick, and Lance go back home and saw Orchid was still there, "Uh, mom?" Nick asked, "What?" Orchid asked, "I forgot to bring this up, but while I was in your world, I also met Egliatos." Nick replied, Orchid glared at him, Volvox thought Egliatos was a weird name, it was pronounced "Ay-glee-ah-toes", "When did you meet him?" Orchid asked, "When I saw him on a balcony." Nick replied, "Did he say anything about me?" Orchid asked, "Quite a bit, in fact." Nick replied, "What did he tell you?" Orchid asked, "That you were one of the six court wizards of the world, you were known as the Wizard of Elements, the other five were Ulysses, Pericles, Socrates, Rose, and Violet, he said Ulysses was the strongest member, and he was the Wizard of Light, he then talked about Pericles, and said he's the Wizard of Time, then he talked about Socrates, he was called the Wizard of Fauna, he then talked about Rose, and said she's the Wizard of Flora, Violet was the next one, he said she's the Wizard of Love, and then he talked about you, he said you were the second-in-command." Nick replied, "I wasn't." Orchid said, "What?" Nick asked, "We were all equal in rank, there was no leader, we all led one another." Orchid replied, "He also talked about your origins." Nick said, "What?" Orchid asked, "I'm serious, mom, he did." Nick replied, "What did he say?" Orchid asked in a subdued voice, but they can tell from her tone that she was angry, "He said you lived in a small town in the wind kingdom, he attacked it and destroyed it, you escaped, but your parents died, you went on to live in the earth kingdom, you studied magic with a book your parents left, you mastered them all when you were eight, it caught the attention of Khan and Noelle, they took you in and you trained alongside the other five wizards in the magic you six excelled in, and became court wizards to help them fight Egliatos, but he was too powerful and you eight lost. After that, you were unhappy with living in the world, so you learned a spell to go to another world and came to this one." Nick replied, "What else did he tell you?" Orchid asked, "That's it." Nick replied, Orchid continued to glare at him, "Are you mad at me, mom?" Nick asked, "Does it look like it?" Orchid asked, Nick was worried, "Why did he tell you that?" Orchid asked, "He said it was because he thought I was curious of your origins." Nick replied, Orchid was still angry, "You're still mad at me for the pain I caused when you gave birth to me, right?" Nick asked, "Nick, trust me, I have endured pain worse than childbirth." Orchid replied, "I was also taught by your world's people that the five elements each represent something." Nick said, "Yes, fire represents strength, water represents focus, earth represents endurance, wind represents speed, and lightning represents knowledge." Orchid replied, "I am curious, what was it like giving birth to me?" Nick asked, Orchid glared at him, "I got a scar on my crotch from giving birth to you." Orchid replied, "Oh." Nick said, "I was surprised, your mom actually didn't show much pain when giving birth, I now know why." Harvey said, "Did you wear a white wedding dress on your wedding day, Orchid?" Lance asked, "No, I hate dresses." Orchid replied sternly, "How about a skirt?" Nick asked, "I hate those, too." Orchid replied, "Leave her be for now, boys, Orchid would like her time alone." Harvey said, "Go play with your father." Orchid said, "Yes, mom." Nick and Lance replied, "One more thing, you two don't need to call me mom, you can just call me Orchid." Orchid said, "Yes, Orchid." Nick and Lance replied, and they go back to Harvey. Volvox continues looking around and finds nothing, so he decides to watch the fourteen who were out fighting the monsters. The unicorns, Pegasi, alicorns, griffins, changelings, dragons, and hippogriffs were in the sky trying to see what was in Volvox's kingdom, some of them were holding up the earth ponies and yaks so they could see as well, "Ah don't see anythin'." Applejack said, "Me neither, the north is covered with volcanoes, the south has all of that forest, the east is too far from here, the west looks to be underwater, and the center is too far to see anything from here." Rainbow Dash replied, "I can't wait anymore! I wanna enter!" Silverstream said, "Be patient, Silverstream, we're all curious, but they're busy fighting now, and that three headed guy said he'll let us know when it's safe." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I hope it's soon, Flurry Heart's getting excited about it, too." Princess Cadence said, Flurry Heart held her front legs up and cooed excitedly, "I sure hope it's soon, as well, that place looks interesting to explore." Princess Luna said, "Ooh, I can't wait." Pinkie Pie said, "I don't think any of us can." Sandbar replied, "Yona wanna see forest." Yona said, "Really? I wanna see the volcanoes." Princess Ember replied, "I'll stick with the forest area, too." King Thorax said, "Stop deciding, guys, we'll explore them all together when they let us." Twilight Sparkle replied, "How? Some of us can't enter that underwater area." Gallus replied, "Some of us can't enter that area in the sky, either." Scootaloo said, "Don't worry, everycreature, we'll find a way." Princess Celestia said, "Hey, look, I can see those fourteen guys right there." Princess Skystar said, they see them and watch them through the trees. Tom, Tiān lù, and the twelve Zodiac animals go to the south and look for Behemoth, "Keep going, Behemoth is near, we'll worry about Popobawa after him." Tom said, "How about Judas and his mother, where are they?" Tiān lù asked, "Judas is in the north, Cyborea is in the center." Tom replied, and the ground soon erupts, it bursts open and they see Behemoth, he had the body of a rhinoceros, he stood on his hind legs, a long tail, and the head of a water buffalo, his entire body was somewhat light purple, "You no longer protect us." Tom said, "I stopped protecting the land when you Zodiac animals finished fighting the Horoscope." Behemoth replied in a deep voice, "It has cost you your soul. Take him out, Monkey." Tom said, and he jumps forward. Behemoth uses earth magic to make boulders appear in front of Monkey, he jumps onto them and gets past them with ease, he was in front of Behemoth and Monkey was about to fight. Behemoth gets ready to smash Monkey, but he stops when he sees there was three of him, the left one had hands over his eyes, the right one had hands covering his ears, and the center one had hands over his mouth, Behemoth was confused, he decides to smash them anyway, but sees they were stones. Behemoth looks around and hears Monkey calling him to his right, he looks and sees him, he punches him with his right fist, but sees it was another statue, Behemoth growled as he heard Monkey calling him from all directions. The ground erupts and small monkeys come out, each one was transparent, Behemoth was very shocked, "You don't remember? When the people's dead ancestors are revived, they come back as monkeys." Monkey said from the boulder, Behemoth looks and saw Monkey was back. Behemoth growls and turns around to smack Monkey with his tail, he hit another statue, he hears flying in the sky and sees Monkey riding on a nimbus cloud, Monkey laughs while Behemoth tries to hit him, he was too fast, Monkey jumps up and holds his right arm up and brings it down, he had a red staff with him, he hit Behemoth in the head with it, the monkeys at his feet climb him and begin attacking him, Behemoth fell over and disappeared while the monkeys went back into the ground. Tom leads the others to where the Popobawa was at, they smell a foul odor and follow it to where it was coming from, hear heavy breathing in a hut and see a human on the chest of a dwarf female, he was suffocating her, "Tell the others of this event, spread it to everyone in the town, if you don't, then I will come back and do this again until you do." the human said, Tom shoots a yellow beam out of his right hand at the human, he flew out of the hut, the beam changes the human to a small humanoid bat form with just one eye, "We meet again, Popobawa." Dragon said, "I grow tired of you guys interfering with my fun." Popobawa replied, "Why did you join Cyborea?" Rooster asked, "It seemed fun, spreading chaos and panic around the countries sounded like joy." Popobawa replied, "You shall find oblivion, get rid of him, Pig." Tom said, and Pig ran to him, Popobawa ran away in hopes of finding another sleeping person, Pig floats up and makes his fur turn gold, causing all of the countries to have light shine, it was bright, and Popobawa was blinded but he continued running, he sees a village when the light disappeared, he flies to it and saw it was empty, he was shocked, he remember the village being filled with people this morning, he flies around and looks for another village, he sees one and sees everybody was awake, he turns around and saw Pig, which startled him, "Having trouble, Popobawa?" Pig asked, "What's going on?" Popobawa asked, "One of my powers, grant good luck to my friends and allies, and bad luck to my enemies." Pig said, Popobawa was scared, he tried to fly away, but could not due to Pig using his powers to give him bad luck, "There's no escape this time." Pig said as tusks grew out of the sides of his mouth, he rams into Popobawa and impales him, Popobawa screeches and disappears, Pig retracted the tusks and ran back to the others. Pig went back to the others and saw Tom and Tiān lù were gone, "Where's Tom and Tiān lù?" Pig asked, "Went to the north to fight Judas and Cyborea Iscariot." Dog replied, "Well, our jobs are done, what now?" Rat asked, "We wait." Tiger replied, "What? But you're not the leader." Monkey said, "When Tiān lù is away, Tiger and I are in charge." Dragon replied, "Oh, fine." Monkey said, "Let us watch, I'm sure Volvox would let us watch from his fortress." Ox replied, and the twelve Zodiac animals went back to Volvox's fortress, they stood on the roof and looked to the north. Fluttershy and Silverstream looked at the Zodiac animals excitably, but they were scared of Dragon, Rarity was a bit scared and disgusted to see Rat, Prince Rutherford and the yaks wanted to meet Tiger and Ox, while the dragons wanted to meet Dragon, the ponies and hippogriffs wanted to meet Horse, the griffons wanted to meet Rooster, the changelings wanted to meet Dog and Rooster, and Twilight Sparkle wanted to meet all of them, they watch to the north with the others. Tom and Tiān lù go to the north and volcanoes were everywhere, "Judas will be appearing here soon." Tom said, "Where's Cyborea?" Tiān lù asked, "To the north of here, she moved here from the center country." Tom replied, and Tiān lù flew to the north. Tom hears walking and saw Judas Iscariot coming, he uses telekinesis to try to destroy the ground and make Tom fall into the lava, but he just simply floated over it. Judas walks over to Tom to fight him, "You betrayed Jesus and helped Mabus." Tom said, "What of it?" Judas asked, "It has cost you your soul." Tom replied, Judas glares at him and shoots fire out of his hands, Tom made a yellow shield appear around him and it blocked the fire, Judas was already getting angry, he shoots fire out of his eyes, Tom blocked it as well, Judas growls and shoots fire out of his mouth, Tom blocked it, Judas was getting enraged, "Read my mind, Judas." Tom said, and Judas does, "It cannot be!" Judas said, "Yes, you are destined to fail." Tom replied, "How did you find out?" Judas asked, "It was foretold by gyromancy." Tom replied, Judas was shocked, but he refused to yield, so he uses telekinesis to make the ground shift around, Tom just flew around while Tom wasted his energy. A sphere of yellow energy appeared in his right hand, he fires it at Judas, he screams and was obliterated, Tom flew back to the Zodiac animals. Tiān lù flew forward and saw Cyborea, she had on a black cloak and was hooded, her skin was pale, "We meet at last." Tiān lù said, "Indeed, I've been waiting for you." Cyborea replied, "Let's see what we got." Tiān lù said, and Cyborea floats up and makes skeletons come out of the ground, they attack Tiān lù. Tiān lù holds his front legs up and gold floats around him, he shoots them forward and the coins cut the skeletons apart. Cyborea exhales and green mist comes out of her mouth, any part of nature that was consumed by her breath died, Tiān lù used his powers to revive them, Cyborea tries to think of something but could not, "Giving up already?" Tiān lù asked, "Yes, but I am fine with it, I am just the first threat you face, there are several more." Cyborea replied, Tiān lù shrugged and shot gold coins into her, she disappeared, Tiān lù flew back to Volvox's fortress. Volvox was with his entire court while the other countries watched, "The threat has been dealt with, but Cyborea said she's working for someone else." Tiān lù said, "Yes, I heard." Volvox replied, "I still cannot foresee who the leader is." Tom said, "Don't worry, Tom, I think I have an idea on who it is." Volvox replied, he then looked at the world's natives, "The threat's dealt with, you all can come over now." Volvox said, everybody became excited and went to his country. Twilight Sparkle and the others go to them, they decided to go see Volvox first, "So, what exactly is this place?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "This is my land, my job is to watch the humans evolve, I had to choose whether they should evolve in either magic or science, I chose magic, and this is where we're at now, my land is only an island back on my world." Volvox said, "Can you explain your magic?" Princess Celestia asked, "Our world has four elements, fire, water, earth, and wind, the humans also discovered light magic and dark magic, they make up the forbidden arts due to how powerful they are, we also have alchemy, some of the people here can teach you that, and we lastly, enchantment." Volvox replied, the world's natives were interested, "Who are these twelve animals here?" Fluttershy asked, "We are the Zodiac." Dragon replied, "The Zodiac? Are you guys special or something?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, we existed before the humans, we were at war with the Horoscope." Rat replied, "The Horoscope?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Twelve more powerful beings, Rat fought Sagittarius, Ox fought Capricorn, Tiger fought Aquarius, Rabbit fought Pisces, Dragon fought Aries, Snake fought Taurus, Horse fought Gemini, Sheep fought Cancer, Monkey fought Leo, Rooster fought Virgo, Dog fought Libra, and Pig fought Scorpio." Dommiel replied, "What were the Horoscope members?" Apple Bloom asked, "Sagittarius was a centaur, Capricorn was a goat with a fishtail, Aquarius was a man who held a small bucket filled with water, Pisces was two fishes put together, Aries was a ram, Taurus was a bull, Gemini was actually two people, Pollux and Castor, twin brothers, Cancer was a giant crab, Leo was a lion, Virgo was a maiden, Libra was actually a set of balancing scales, it moved and spoke on its own, and Scorpio was a scorpion." Volvox replied, "Where are they now?" Scootaloo asked, "Up in the sky as constellations." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Wait, you guys didn't take their lives, did you?" Sweetie Belle asked, "No, of course not, the war was a stalemate, so the gods decided to create humans to progress how the planet evolves, they're watching us from up there." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "How did the war start in the first place?" Princess Celestia asked, "Uh?" the twelve Zodiac animals replied, "It started because the Maker made it happen, I was created just to observe, the Maker wanted one of the two groups to act as rulers for human society, but since the war went nowhere, the Maker decided to take the Horoscope to the overworld and left the Zodiac on the earth, they've been under my command, but I have that guy over there keep an on them." Volvox said, "And you are...?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Tiān lù." Tiān lù replied, "What are you?" Spike asked, "I'm a Pixiu." Tiān lù replied, "What is it you do, exactly?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I bring wealth and good fortune to the unfortunate." Tiān lù replied, "Friends are more valuable than worth, Tiān lù." Princess Celestia said, Tiān lù was speechless, "Why did you all come here?" Princess Luna asked, "It was by mistake." Dommiel replied, "What were you guys doing?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "You all saw the woman with the five jewels on her outfit, right?" Volvox asked, "Yeah, what about her?" Spike asked, "We're looking for her world so she can return home." Volvox replied, surprising the natives, "Oh, so you're trying to get someone home." Princess Skystar said, "Yeah, we haven't had much luck so far." Dommiel replied, "What do you do?" Smolder asked, "I'm the emperor's right hand." Dommiel replied, "Right hand?" Pinkie Pie asked, "It means he's the second-in-command, Pinkie." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I really can't say I like how your outfit looks." Rarity said, "My outfit was not designed to look good, it was designed for combat and protection." Dommiel replied, "What's yer name?" Applejack asked, "Dommiel." Dommiel replied, "How bout you, what do you do?" Granny Smith asked, "I'm the Count of Saint Germain, I'm a time traveler, I go to the future every once in a while, but it's tiring for me, I usually give Volvox info on events to come." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "What about you?" Sugar Belle asked, "My name is Tom, I was an apprentice to Nostradamus and Rasputin, I am a prophet, people come to me to have their futures told." Tom replied, "Nostradamus and Rasputin?" Shining Armor asked, "Nostradamus was a prophet, this helmet is a keepsake that has been enchanted with his future seeing powers, Rasputin was a monk with mystical powers, he taught me how to see into the future without the helmet." Tom replied, "You guys have people who can see into the future?!" Silverstream asked excitedly, "Yes, but only a few." Volvox replied, "Who else can see into the future?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "There's a man back in our world named Lucas Kane, he can see into the future from time to time as well." Volvox replied, "Yes, but his powers pale in comparison to mine." Tom said, "Who is that guy to your left?" Scootaloo asked, "Giovi, he's a ghoul, he doesn't talk." Volvox said, "So, is he mute or something?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No, he can talk, he just chooses not to." Dommiel replied, "Who are those two behind you?" Princess Celestia asked, "Oh, those are my two pets, Phoenix and Thunderbird." Volvox replied, they screech and fly to Volvox, Phoenix was to his right, and Thunderbird was to his left, "Wow!" Silverstream said, "Are these new to you guys?" Volvox asked, "We've seen a phoenix before, but never a thunderbird." Smolder replied, "Say? Where did you get those two?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "I took them in after their parents were killed in battle, I took care of them since birth." Volvox replied, "Is one male, and the other female?" Fluttershy asked, "No, they're both male." Volvox replied, "Is this everybody?" Princess Celestia asked, "Oh no, there's more people to my court, today's an off day for them." Volvox replied, "Well, call them over, we'd like to meet them." Princess Cadence said, Flurry Heart cooed excitedly, Volvox used his telepathy to call the remaining members of his court to come. Everybody hears walking and teleporting, they see the four cenobites return, much to everybody's horror, Ash was back as well, along with several other humans, "What are you guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked the cenobites, "Demons to some, angels to others." Pinhead replied, making the natives uncomfortable, "You desire books, there's a library of books in Hell." Pinhead said, "Oh my gosh, I need to see it." Twilight Sparkle replied, Princess Celestia touched Twilight Sparkle's left shoulder with her front left hoof, "Twilight, control yourself, I am sensing there is a very heavy price to pay if you give into your desires with him." Princess Celestia said, "As for you, you desire to be with your sister, I can let you two be together forever, and never be separated." Pinhead said, "I'm fine with how close I am to her now." Princess Celestia replied, "Uh, can we move on to someone else? Their appearances are scaring me." Ocellus said, the others agreed and they go to Ash, "You again?" Rarity asked, "I'm a part of the court, lady." Ash replied, "Ash, explain. How did you go to the past?" Princess Cadence asked, "The Book of the Dead." Ash replied, Twilight Sparkle's attention was caught, "Where is it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "In my quarters, sealed away." Volvox replied, "I wanna see it." Twilight Sparkle said, and Volvox uses his telekinesis to bring it out, he shows it to the world's natives, "Oh my, I've never seen a book like this." Twilight Velvet said, "That cover is scaring me." Ocellus said, "It's scaring me, too." Sandbar replied, "What the?" Twilight Sparkle asked as she felt the book's cover with her front left hoof, "It feels like the cover is made out of flesh." Twilight Sparkle said, making everyone uncomfortable, "That's just creepy." Rainbow Dash said, "I'm scared to see what's in it." Ocellus said, "Okay, we get it, you're scared, you don't have to always mention it." Gallus replied, "Well, let's open it." Twilight Sparkle said, and she uses her telekinesis to open the book. Everybody was uncomfortable when they saw the writing was in blood, the pictures of the monsters, and the spirits that are summoned by the book, "Oh my, it looks like this book is a summoning book, you have to chant what the writing says, but I am unfamiliar with this book's language." Princess Celestia said, "Where did you find this?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "In a cabin in the woods." Ash replied, "What about this 'Hero from the Sky' thing?" Princess Luna asked, "He was said to come from the sky and save the humans from the monsters, I went there by mistake due to an experiment-gone-wrong." Doctor Whooves replied, "So, what exactly is your role in the court?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "If the deadites start coming, I'm your go-to guy." Ash replied, "Deadites? What are deadites?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Basically, they're monsters from that book." Volvox replied, "Oh." the world's natives said, "Who is this guy?" Silverstream asked, the man did not answer, "That's Corvo, he's not one to talk." Volvox replied, "What does he do?" Rainbow Dash asked, "If either me or Giovi are too sick to defend Volvox, he's our substitute." Dommiel replied, "That mask of his is scaring me." Sweetie Belle said, the foals look and were scared of it, so was Flurry Heart, she hid when she looked at Corvo's mask, "Yak see something on left hand." Prince Rutherford said, "Yona wonder what mark is as well." Yona said, black mist appears behind Corvo and a man floated above him, the world's natives gasp, "That mark on his left hand is my mark." the man said, "Who are you?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I am the Outsider, I give people I am interested in my mark, and I watch them shape history." the Outsider replied, "You are destined to be opposed." Tom said, "I am aware of that, Tom, I am awaiting for that day to come with great anticipation." the Outsider replied, "It would be nice if you helped." Princess Celestia said, "I am more of an observer, I prefer to watch, I will be watching the events that happen with great interest." the Outsider said, and he disappeared, "Where did he go?" Sandbar asked, "To the Void, it's a realm he takes people to when they're asleep." Volvox replied, "Well, in that case, I'll be looking for him." Princess Luna said, and they look at the next human, "What's your name?" Pinkie Pie asked, "That's Lazlo En Kuldes, he doesn't talk much, either." Dommiel replied, "What's his role?" Diamond Tiara asked, "He's a bit of a soldier, he was washed away from his family when he was young." Tom replied, saddening the natives, "Oh no." Fluttershy said, "Do you have any memories of your family, Lazlo?" Princess Cadence replied, Lazlo shook his head, "So, why is he a member of the court for?" Rainbow Dash asked, "He's the one who evacuates the citizens in times of danger." Dommiel replied, "Oh." the world's natives said, and they go to the next seven humans, "Who are you guys?" Sunburst asked, "Harry. Harry Mason." Harry said, "Uh... James." James said, "I'm Harry's daughter, my name's Heather." Heather said, "Henry." Henry said, "Alex." Alex said, "Travis." Travis said, "Murphy Pendleton." Murphy said, "What do they do in yer court?" Apple Bloom asked, "They're not official members, I need their help for a case." Volvox replied, "What is it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "These seven know of a place called Silent Hill, they have reported it to be foggy and full of monsters, they also said the place is bloody and rusty at times, but Henry was trapped in a room called Room 302 of South Ashfield Heights, he said he went to the areas around Silent Hill with two holes in the wall, and Alex is from Shepherd's Glen, his family's ancestors are from Silent Hill, and he said the fog and monsters from Silent Hill were in Shepherd's Glen, and Henry's apartment was home to someone who was involved with the residents of Silent Hill, I've been looking for the place to investigate what's going on there." Volvox replied, shocking the world's natives, "Have you found it?" Princess Celestia asked, "Not yet." Volvox replied, "What kind of monsters did y'all encounter?" Applejack asked, "Children with knives attacked me." Harry replied, "A monster with a pyramid on his head and wielded a giant knife." James said, "A woman who tried to be the incarnation of God." Heather said, "Ghosts." Henry said, "A smog monster, a monster that was a man and a woman fused together, and a monster doll." Alex said, "A tall man wearing a heavy raincoat, a gas mask, and carrying a sledgehammer, I also had to deal with a man in a wheelchair." Murphy said, "My mom and dad got revived from the dead and tried to kill me, I also had to fight a humanoid monster who wielded a giant meat cleaver." Travis said, the world's natives were scared, "What about this bloody and rusty areas?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "A siren would go off, and the town would become all bloody and rusty, it'd rain, too." Harry said, Henry and Travis were confused, "Wait, did you say a siren?" Henry asked, "Yeah. Why?" Harry asked, "I came into these otherworldly areas by the holes in the walls of my apartment." Henry said, shocking the world's natives, "I know the bloody and rusty area, but I entered and exited them through mirrors, it was like another world, there was no siren." Travis said, the world's natives were horrified, "Twilight, I agree with the ruler on this, I believe this Silent Hill is worth investigating, this place sounds more dangerous than the Everfree Forest." Princess Celestia said, the others agreed and they see there were no more humans, "Do you have anymore objects besides that book?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yup, they're in my quarters, I have cursed objects with me, they're in my safe room." Volvox replied, "We'd like to see them." Princess Celestia said, the others agreed, "This way." Volvox replied, and he walks, the others follow him. Volvox takes them to his safe room and shows them the cursed objects, he had them sealed inside rectangular boxes that were transparent, each one was labelled and there was a plaque that said what the cursed object does, "Myrtles Plantation Mirror: Hand prints, strange marks, and ghosts appear inside this mirror." Twilight Sparkle said, making everyone uncomfortable, they go to the next one, "Annabelle the Doll: possessed by a demonic entity, it will change positions, attack others, and manipulate people to obtain their souls." Smolder said, shocking the world's natives, "Where did you find this one?" Princess Celestia asked, "It was given to me by paranormal investigators." Volvox replied, "You should destroy this." Princess Ember said, the dragons agreed, "About that, that could actually set the demonic spirit free, and it could possess another object." Volvox replied, everybody moved on to the next one, "Okiku: Hair never stops growing." Princess Cadence said, Rarity chuckles, "I sure would not mind having an ever growing mane." Rarity said, they go to the next one, "Robert the Doll: Causes car accidents, broken bones, job loss, divorce, etc., do not take picture of this doll." Gallus said, horrifying the natives, "How did you get these?" Applejack asked, "My land is only a small part of the world we're from, it's a small island, there are many more places in our world than my land, these objects are from those areas." Volvox replied, they go to the next object, "Wedding Dress of Anna Baker: Dress moves on its own." Sandbar said, "That's one of the harmless ones." Volvox said, "Still, it's a shame you have to put it in here, that's a lovely dress." Rarity replied, they look at the next one, "The Hands Resist Him: Anyone who comes into contact with this painting falls ill and dies, the boy and doll also argue, and the boy will sometimes comes out of the painting." Princess Luna said, "This sounds like something Discord would make." Rainbow Dash replied, the others agreed and went to the next one, "The Crying Boy Painting: Burns down any house this painting is in." Ocellus said, it really scared her and the changelings, but they go to the next one, Rarity was interested in it, "Hope Diamond: Whoever has this will have misfortune befall on them." Rarity said, "What is the misfortune?" Princess Celestia asked, "It's different every time." Volvox replied, they go to the next one, Rarity was interested in that one as well, "Koh-i-Noor Diamond: Any male who wears it will have misfortune fall upon them." Spike said, "Like the last one, it's different each time." Volvox said, "Why just males for?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "I'm not sure, but I believe it was cursed to be that way." Volvox replied, they go to the next one, "Basano Vase: Anyone in possession of this vase will die." Twilight Sparkle said, everyone was uncomfortable, "This is one of the most cursed objects." Volvox said, they go to the last item, "Camera Obscura, captures and exorcises ghosts." Silverstream said, everybody was uncomfortable when they heard about ghosts, "Ghosts?" Rarity asked, "Yes, this was found in a mansion and given to me, I've kept it here ever since." Volvox replied, "Is there anything else?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Nope, that's all." Volvox replied, "Well, let's go, everybody, let's see the countries, we'll start with this one since we're already in it." Princess Celestia said, the others agreed and they walked out of Volvox's fortress and into the country. Everybody walks around and saw it was like modern human society, "It's alright, guys, this place is just like my world, I'll know what to do." Sunset Shimmer said, everybody smiled and walked together, they see Nick was walking around, they decide to go see him, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, Nick looks at them, "Can you show us around?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Well, I am heading home, I guess I can explain while I walk home." Nick replied, "Thank you, that would be really nice." Princess Celestia said, and Nick heads home while the world's natives follow him, Nick showed them around and explained what the areas were, there were many houses and stores around, the store he was at was the grocery store. Nick arrives home and saw Orchid was reading a book while sitting on the grass, "Mom, I'm home." Nick said, Orchid moved her book down from her face and saw the world's natives, they recognized her, "Wait, you're that woman from earlier." Princess Skystar said, "What do you guys want?" Orchid asked, "The emperor is letting us explore his land, we'd thought we could have your son show us a bit." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, there's nothing here." Orchid said, "It looks like they have magic, mom, just like you." Nick said, "I doubt it's the same as mine." Orchid replied, the unicorns cast telekinesis and teleportation spells, some also cast other spells, the changelings change into other animals, the dragons breathe fire, and the hippogriffs change into seaponies, "As I said, it's different from my magic." Orchid said, "What can you do?" Maud Pie asked, Orchid holds her right arm out with her hand open, and her fingers and thumb bent and pointing at Maud Pie, she shot a yellow beam with gray rocks in it out of her thumb, a small green tornado out of her pinky finger, red and orange fire out of her ring finger, blue water out of her index finger, and purple lightning out of her middle finger, they go to Maud Pie and she was hit by rocks, cut by the wind, engulfed by water, burned by fire, and electrocuted by lightning all at once, "MAUD!!" Pinkie Pie said with horror, "It's alright, Pinkie, I got it." Maud Pie replied, and the five elements disappear, "Hmm. You're more resistant than most, most are knocked out cold in a few seconds." Orchid said, "What other spells do you have?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Do you wish for me to test them on you?" Orchid asked, "What? No." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Then don't ask me." Orchid said, "Can you teach me now, mom?" Nick asked, "No." Orchid replied, "Why not?" Nick asked, "Most start learning magic when they're four, Nick, you're eighteen, you're way too old." Orchid replied, "Why didn't you teach him back then?" Shining Armor asked, "Because I wasn't in the mood to deal with a mischievous child with magic." Orchid replied, "Where's dad, anyway?" Nick asked, "He's busy flying around with Lance on his back." Orchid replied, "Oh, I was wondering who your father was." Sandbar said, "Uh, about that, my dad's appearance might be a bit surprising." Nick replied, "Oh, come on now, how bad can it be?" Rainbow Dash asked, they see Harvey land in front of them with Lance on his back, the world's natives gasp when they see him, "I heard you guys from the sky." Harvey said, "This is my dad." Nick said, the world's natives look at Harvey's mutant, machine, and alien parts, "What happened to you?!" Twilight Sparkle asked with horror, "What do you know about genetic code and genetic engineering?" Harvey asked, "Only that I can find out who's related and unrelated." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Then you won't understand my condition if I do explain it." Harvey said, "Are you a native of the land?" Rarity asked, "No, I'm just like my wife, I'm from another world, a world of science." Harvey replied, surprising everyone, "Who is that on your back?" Silverstream asked, Lance flew down and everybody was shocked to see he had the same mutations as Harvey, "I'm Lance, Nick adopted me." Lance said, "You were experimented on, too?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Lance nodded, "Who else got mutated?" Applejack asked, Nick flexes his body and his mutations appear, with clothing except his pants ripping, shocking the world's natives, "The same people who mutated my dad and Lance mutated me as well." Nick replied, the world's natives were very shocked, "Come on, everycreature, let's go look around." Princess Celestia said, "Well, it was nice to see you guys, hope we meet again." Ocellus said, "Okay, enjoy the rest of the kingdom." Nick replied, and the world's natives walked away. Everycreature walks around while they look at the natives in the kingdom, they see a man walk by, he had silver hair, wore a red trench coat, brown pants, and black mid-calf length boots, he had a sword on his back, and a holster for a black pistol and a white pistol, he stood out more than the others, but they ignored him and walked by. The world's natives see a lot of houses and a few stores around, "Wow, this is just like where I live." Sunset Shimmer said, "Still kind of disappointing, though." Rarity replied, "Where should we go next?" Derpy asked, "Definitely east, I wanna see how the land floats in the sky like that." Rainbow Dash replied, "No way, let's go west, I wanna see the underwater civilization." Silverstream said, "Let's go north, to the volcanoes." Princess Ember said, "Yak want to go south, to land full of forest." Prince Rutherford replied, and everybody argued, "Everycreature." Princess Celestia said as she shot up a yellow signal from her horn, they look at her, "It doesn't matter where we go first, we're going to them all, anyway, we'll start north and go counterclockwise, we'll get a chance to see everything in this land." Princess Celestia said, the others agreed and everycreature headed out of the kingdom in the center, and went to the north, to the fire kingdom. Everycreature goes to the fire kingdom, but the volcanic environment was too hot for everycreature except the dragons, Twilight Sparkle casts a spell on them so they can resist the heat. They walk in and see the giants, centaurs, oreads, and Valkyries. Everycreature looks and sees the natives of the fire kingdom had a militaristic culture, the giants wore Spartan armor, the centaurs wore armor of the Roman Legion, the oreads wore Samurai armor, and the Valkyries wore Amazon armor, "Hi there, welcome to Vesuvius." a male giant said, he was about eight feet tall, "What's with all of the weapons and armor?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Oh, that's for protection, back then, when a threat to the land emerges, they usually appear in this country." the giant replied, surprising the world's natives, "Come on, I'll show you all around." the giant said, and he does, everybody walks around and the volcanoes erupted everywhere, everycreature except the dragons were uncomfortable, even with the heat resistant spell on them. Everycreature looks and sees the giants ate mostly meat, which made the ponies uncomfortable, the centaurs ate meat as well, the oreads were omnivores, and the Valkyries ate meat, they all drank wine. Everycreature then sees them holding tournaments, everyone was divided by race, everyone fought honorably and fairly, sick and injured combatants were not attacked, neither were downed or disarmed opponents, the dragons, griffons, and yaks enjoyed their culture, but the others did not. Everycreature continues traveling and see the natives of Vesuvius had homes made out of molten rocks, they believed it was so they could withstand the heat of the kingdom, they also see a lot of the children were working as blacksmiths, they were also being trained in combat, alchemy, and magic, everycreature sees the natives shooting fire out of their hands and mouths, they notice the natives were also adept in manipulating lava, "Guys? Where are the last people?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Oh, you mean the golems, they're further in the country." the giant replied, and he leads them, they see the golems lived like knights, they followed a code of chivalry, they see they had to fight fairly and honorably, they notice they were not allowed to hurt children either, "Can we go? This country is burning my wings." Grampa Gruff said, everycreature except the dragons agree, "Well, I hope you all enjoyed it here, you're welcome anytime." the giant said, "Wait, what's that temple back there?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the giant turned around and saw a black temple built out of onyx and was decorated with rubies, "Oh that, that's where we worship the fire and sun gods." the giant replied, Princess Celestia laughs, "Then maybe you guys will have to worship me, I am a sun goddess." Princess Celestia said, "We'll see about that, have a good tour, everyone." the giant replied, and everybody left Vesuvius and went to the water kingdom in the west. Everycreature walks to the west and the hippogriffs were excited, they all turn into seaponies and go into the water, but they exclaim with shock and change back and fly out, back to the others, "What's wrong?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's too cold." Silverstream replied, Applejack places her front right hoof into the water, she quickly took it out, "Whoo, it's cold, alright, it's colder than walkin' through snow bare hoofed." Applejack said, shocking the world's natives. Queen Novo looks and saw several merfolk casting magic with water, ice, and snow, she flies to them, "Excuse me." Queen Novo said, they look at her, "Can you heat up the water for us?" Queen Novo asked, "Oh, are you all the tourists?" a mermaid asked, Queen Novo nodded, "Hold on." the mermaid said, and she and other merfolk went into the water and swam around to heat it up, much to everycreature's awe. They finish and swans land in the water, Fluttershy became excited and flew to them, "Hello, my name is Fluttershy, I'd like one of you as a pet." Fluttershy said, "Uh, we're not pets." a swan replied in a female voice, shocking everycreature, "We're swan maidens, we change when our feathers are taken off." another swan maiden said, "Can we see?" Spike asked, the swan maidens remove their feathers and they transform into human women wearing white dresses, causing everycreature to gasp in awe, "Oh my, what beautiful dresses." Rarity said, "Thank you, but they come with us." a swan maiden replied, "So, uh, what exactly happens to you guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, "We bathe and play in the water, but if a man takes our dress, and we find it, he'll only give it back if we promise to marry him." another swan maiden replied, Rarity gasped, "No, no, no, a gentlecolt would never do such a thing." Rarity said, "Well, it's not our call, they do it." a swan maiden replied, and they put their feathers back on and change back to swans. The world's natives hear singing and see sirens, they looked like human females, they wore white dresses, they sat on the ice caps, "Oh, you all sound like sirens." Rarity said, "We are sirens." one replied, and they continued singing, Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer began to have flashbacks of Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk, they put it in the back of their minds and keep looking. Everycreature sees the hyades were making rain fall into the water, the Pegasi were reminded of their own rain clouds, Fluttershy also saw the selkies were seals in the water, they went onto land and changed to humans, much to her surprise. The nereids, naiads, and oceanids were all doing different things, they were the physical workers of the country, "Are you all ready to see Atlantis?" the mermaid from earlier asked, "Uh, Atlantis?" Applejack asked, "It's where we all live, it's under the water." the mermaid replied, "Hold on, everyone." Queen Novo said, and she flew to her kingdom and got her pearl, she uses it to change everycreature into sea creatures, much to the surprise of the natives of the water kingdom, "Okay, this way." the mermaid said, and they all swim underwater. Everybody swims to the bottom and sees Atlantis, everycreature saw shopping markets outside, all of the creatures lived together peacefully, "Welcome to Atlantis, everybody." the mermaid said, everycreature was in awe at what they saw, but they were still uncomfortable by how cold the water was, "This water's still freezing." Smolder said, "I know, even I'm having trouble enduring it." Silverstream replied, the changelings try to change into something more comfortable, but nothing can help them withstand the coldness of the water, a lot of them had chattering teeth, "Sorry about that, the cold mostly comes from the ice caps from above." the mermaid said, and she swims forward, they follow her and were in awe at Atlantis' architecture, they looked like traditional Chinese and Japanese shrines and temples, along with some Greek architecture, which reminded the ponies of Cloudsdale, "Wow, some of your buildings look just like what we have in Cloudsdale." Rainbow Dash said, "Really? What a coincidence." the mermaid replied, "Can we meet the rulers?" Princess Skystar asked, "Yes. Please?" Terramar asked, "About that, since some of those nymphs are new, we'll have to establish new rulers, so maybe another time." the mermaid replied, "How do you defend against threats above the water?" Terramar asked, "Oh, I'm glad you asked, this way." the mermaid replied, and she swam up, they followed her. Everycreature was above surface and they see a strait with a six headed monster and a giant whirlpool, "This is Scylla and Charybdis, they're our main defenders." the mermaid said, "Oh, you look like a friendly fellow." Fluttershy said as she flew up to Scylla, her six heads smiled, "Hey, don't forget Charybdis, she's alive, too." the mermaid replied, and Fluttershy flew to it, "Hi there, look at yourselves, defending the small from terrifying monsters." Fluttershy said, Charybdis span around happily, "Come on, I'll show you all around some more." the mermaid said, and they all go underwater. The mermaid takes them to Atlantis and they gasp with surprise when they see the water kingdom were artistic people, they had paintings, fashion, music, cuisine, and dance shows, the regular fish lived with them peacefully. Everycreature looks around and sees sculptures and statues made out of ice, "Whoa, that looks awesome." Sandbar said, "Thank you, it took a while to make." the mermaid replied, "What's through there?" Pinkie Pie asked as she pointed her front right hoof to a sealed off area, "Oh, don't go there, that area is called Styx, it is one of the five rivers to leads to the underworld." the mermaid replied, surprising everyone, "What are the other four rivers called?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Phlegethon, Acheron, Lethe, and Cocytus." the mermaid replied, "Are they all in this country?" Princess Luna asked, "No, Phlegethon is in the fire kingdom, Acheron is in the earth kingdom, Lethe is in the emperor's kingdom, and Cocytus is in the wind kingdom." the mermaid replied, the world's natives realize they already missed two of them, "Well, that's it for this kingdom, nice meeting you all." the mermaid said, and the world's natives said bye as they swam back up to the surface and Queen Novo uses her pearl to change them all back. Everycreature was cold, especially the ponies and dragons, they look and see the natives of the water kingdom were using ice and snow magic again, "Okay, everycreature, time to go south, to the earth kingdom." Princess Celestia said, and everyone headed south, the yaks and earth ponies were carried while the unicorns used telekinesis on themselves to fly, and the others just flew there normally. Everybody stands in front of the earth kingdom, with forests and trees in front of them, "Okay, everycreature, stay together, the last thing we want is someone getting lost." Princess Celestia said, the others agreed and they walk into the forest. Everycreature looks around with discomfort at the earth kingdom, "Honestly, y'all, this feels like the Everfree Forest." Applejack said, "Eeyup." Big Macintosh replied, "I see a village up ahead, this way." Dragon Lord Torch said, and he leads them. Everycreatures arrives at the village and the dwarfs aim bows and arrows at them, scaring the ponies, changelings, and hippogriffs while the dragons, griffons, and yaks got ready to fight, "Halt! Stand down!" a male dwarf in green viking armor said, and they all do, he had long hair and a long beard, they were both white, "Sorry, we can't be sure who's ally or foe." the dwarf said, "Why not?" Applejack asked, "Because if a threat doesn't appear in the fire kingdom, then it's most likely going to appear in this one." the dwarf replied, surprising the world's natives, "Can you show us around?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yup, we were expecting you all, the ruler of the dwarfs put me in charge to give you all a tour, welcome to Dorado." the dwarf replied, and he leads them. The dwarf shows them the village while everyone looks around, "As you all know, we control four elements, but earth was the first one discovered, water was next, wind was the third element discovered, and fire was last." the dwarf said, "Why was earth the first one discovered?" Sunburst asked, "Because we all live on land, and we discovered water magic by having people live at the sea, wind magic was discovered by mistake when we had tornadoes, and fire was discovered by taking the risk of going to a volcano, we control the elements with our minds." the dwarf replied, surprising everyone, "You guys only need to use your mind to control magic?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, we learn magic by meditating in the environment where the element is most abundant, earth is the easiest since land is everywhere." the dwarf replied, the natives of the world were interested, they look and see the dwarfs had the art, music, architecture, fashion, and cuisine of Scandinavians, they were a bit militaristic as well, "You guys are militaristic, too?" Shining Armor asked, "Have to be, but unlike the fire kingdom, they focus on attack, we focus on defense." the dwarf replied, "The Great and Powerful Trixie would like to know where the other creatures are at." Trixie said, "They're farther in the woods, this way, and be careful." the dwarf replied, and he led them to their lefts. Everycreature walks together and stop in surprise when they saw the trees were walking around, "You all have live trees?!" Silverstream asked excitedly, "Yes, but be careful, they can't see you, they'll step on you if you're in front of them." the dwarf replied, making everycreature uncomfortable, the dwarf leads them down a path that avoided the walking trees and they continue going to the east. The dwarf takes them to a tribe and nymphs, the alseides, auloniades, leimakides, napaeae, oreads, anthousai, dryads, hamadryade, and hyleoroi. The dryads, hamadryade, and some hyleoroi lived in the trees, other hyleoroi lived in the forest. The alseides lived in glens and groves, the auloniades lived in pastures and valleys with some of the napaeae, the leimakides lived in meadows, the remaining napaeae lived in glens and grottoes, the oreads lived in small mountains that were in the forest, and the anthousai lived in fields of flowers. The nymphs did not have a particular way of living, they were all doing different things, "Ooh, ooh, ooh, can I pick some of the flowers?" Sweetie Belle asked, "It depends if those nymphs let you." the dwarf replied, "Wait, so they're called nymphs?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Yeah, the ones in the water kingdom are also nymphs, sirens are just a variety." the dwarf replied, "What about the swan maidens?" Princess Cadence asked, "Those are not nymphs." the dwarf replied, "Are there anymore?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The tribes of the cyclopes are this way." the dwarf replied, and he takes them farther east. Everycreature arrives at the eastern most part of the earth kingdom and they saw the cyclopes, "Look, they have one eye." Gabby said, "Yeah, just like Arimaspi." Gilda replied, the cyclopes look at them, "Oh, they're smaller than I thought." a blue cyclops said, he then says "Follow me." and they do, they see the cyclopes lived as a tribe, "Oh, this like Yona's home." Yona said, the other yaks and see the cyclopes lived like Native Americans, the yaks agreed, the cyclopes also smashed things to test their strengths, which made the yaks happy, "Nice to see similar culture to ours, but we go now." Prince Rutherford said, "Okay, be careful out there." the blue cyclops replied, the world's natives smiled and the dwarf leads them back. Everybody arrived back at Dorado after a long walk, "Time to go the other way now, we have more tribes over there." the dwarf said, and he leads them, the natives were getting a bit tired. Everybody heads west and they see more walking trees, "You all have to come to this land at night as well, there are some creatures that only come out at night." the dwarf said, the world's natives groaned tiredly, "Don't worry, they're easy to see, you all will likely see them from your home countries." the world's natives sighed with relief and followed him. They all keep going and Fluttershy stops with awe, "Aw." Fluttershy said as she flew to it, they see her going to a rabbit, "You remind me of Angel..." Fluttershy said, she stopped abruptly, the others go to her and were shocked and surprised by what they saw, the rabbit had antlers, "Ah, this is a jackalope, they don't come out often, and are very rare to see, don't worry, they're passive creatures." the dwarf said, "How were they created?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Don't know, they already existed when we first found them." the dwarf replied, he then says "This way, the last two tribes are over here." and they follow him. They all arrive at a tribe that was filled with goblins, the yaks were interested again, the goblins lived in tribes as well, but their way of living was similar to the tribes in South America, "They're a quiet bunch, they speak their own language, we don't understand it, come on now, the last tribe's farther west." the dwarf said, and he leads them farther west, Pinkie Pie tried to greet them and befriend them, but the goblins did not react due to them not understanding her, they shook her hoof when she held it out, she smiled and went to the others. Everycreature arrives at the last tribe and they see it was the ghouls, "Yak like their way of life." Prince Rutherford said, the others look and agreed, the ghouls look and just continued with their days, "These are the ghouls, they're usually out at night, they're also a quiet bunch, speak their own language, too, and don't worry, they won't attack unless they feel threatened." the dwarf said, "They don't seem to have bladed claws like the one we saw with the emperor." Twilight Velvet said, "Oh, about that, Giovi lost his claws in a war, he replaced them with knife blades." the dwarf replied, everybody looks and sees the ghouls lived similarly to African tribes, "Well, that's everything, hope you enjoyed Dorado and the tribes." the dwarf said, "Wait, take us to Acheron." Twilight Sparkle replied, the others agreed, "Very well, this way." the dwarf said, and he led them back to Dorado and headed north, they arrive at a stream, "Here it is, Acheron, one of the five rivers to the underworld." the dwarf said, they hear faint crying in it, "Is that crying?" Windy Whistles asked, "It's called the River of Woe for a reason." the dwarf replied, "What are they sad about?" Scootaloo asked, "It's different for each person." the dwarf replied, everycreature felt bad, "Well, that is all, hope you enjoyed the kingdom." and they all walk out of the forest, "Alright, one more, let's go, everycreature." Princess Celestia said, and they went to the wind kingdom. The Pegasi, alicorns, griffons, dragons, changelings, and hippogriffs flew to the wind kingdom while the unicorns used telekinesis on themselves to fly up, and the earth ponies and yaks were carried by others. They see the wind kingdom was a bunch of land floating in the sky, and there was no room to land due to them all being covered with architecture. The elves and fairies come out and see the world's natives, the elves used wind magic to fly around, while the fairies had butterfly wings and flew with them, everycreature was in awe, a female fairy sees them and flies to them, "Are you all here to visit?" the fairy asked, they nodded, "Well, welcome to Everest, the wind kingdom." the fairy said, and she flies around, they follow her, "Sorry about having nowhere to land, we are kind of populous." the fairy said, "It's alright, so what do you guys do?" Princess Celestia asked, "We act as the main connection between this land and the land of the gods." the fairy replied, "Wait, there's more?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Yeah, the overworld and the underworld, we can't enter, the angels and demons don't like foreigners in their land." the fairy replied, much to their disappointments, "Wait, why are you guys living on land that is floating higher than the other creatures?" Princess Ember asked, they looked and noticed some pieces of land were floating higher than others, "Oh, about that, unlike other countries, where everyone is equal and lives together, we live in a caste system, us fairies are of higher status than the elves." the fairy replied, "What? But why?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Because the fairies existed before the elves, and our wind magic is stronger than theirs." the fairy replied, "That doesn't sound fair so far." Spike said, "Actually, we all have different roles, the elves provide us food and alchemy ingredients, and in turn, the fairies provide them protection from harm." the fairy replied, "Oh, so it's a cycle, you all provide one another." Princess Celestia said, "Yeah, pretty much." the fairy replied, "Where are the others?" Sandbar asked, "Oh, they're up there flying around." and they see Nephele was on a cloud, and to their surprises, a monkey, "Who is that monkey?" Princess Luna asked, "That's Sun Wukong, he was kicked out of the overworld for causing trouble." the fairy replied, they keep looking and see the sphinxes and harpies, "Are those sphinxes?" Daring Do asked, "Yeah, they're new." the fairy replied, "We have sphinxes, too." Somnambula said, "Oh, I didn't know." the fairy replied, "Who are those birdies?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Harpies, they're new, too." the fairy replied, "You all don't have any wildlife?" Fluttershy asked, the fairy turned around and whistled. The creatures see a griffon fly down, "Hey, it looks like us." Grampa Gruff said, "It is, it's a griffon." the fairy replied, the others smiled, "What is that over there?!" Silverstream asked excitedly, they look and see a hippogriff, it had the front half of an eagle, and the rear half of a horse, "That's a hippogriff." the fairy replied, "Hippogriff? It looks nothing like us." Princess Skystar said, "Wait? You all are hippogriffs?" the fairy asked, the hippogriffs nod, "I see, well, the ekeks and wakwaks come out at night, that is all." the fairy said, "Can you take us to Cocytus?" Applejack asked, the fairy was silent and then sighed, "This way." the fairy replied, and she leads them, it was to the very north of the kingdom, everybody sees the people of the wind kingdom had architecture similar to the Mayans and the Aztecs. They arrive at Cocytus, they see it was a waterfall that led to the underworld, "Here it is, the river of wailing." the fairy said, and everybody hears loud crying in it, which made them uncomfortable, "Let's leave, those cries are making me scared." Mr. Shy said, the others agreed, and they left. Everycreature sees the people of the wind kingdom lived in wooden houses with straw roofs, "Well, that is all, hope you all enjoyed." the fairy said, "Wait, what about the temples and places of worship?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Oh, the main ones are those temples over there, we worship the rest in our homes, the earth kingdom's people also worship their gods in their homes, the land and sky have many gods." the fairy replied, surprising everycreature, "Well, that is all, hope you all enjoyed it." the fairy said, and the world's natives head home and rest for the day. Night time comes and everybody hears thuds in Volvox's land, they look and were surprised by what they saw, there were orcs and Talos in the fire kingdom, trolls, ningen, and Laestrygonians in the water kingdom, the trolls were on the ice caps while the other two were in the water, the ghouls and goblins were wondering around in the earth kingdom, and the ekeks and wakwaks were flying around in the wind kingdom. Everybody was most interested in the other things they saw, they saw enenra in the north, ghost ships in the west, will-o'-the-wisps and fireflies in the south, floating white orbs in the east, and regular ghosts in Volvox's kingdom. Volvox stood on top of his fortress and looked, he saw a tribe of Sasquatches in the south as well, they lived underground caves, and Monkey was bringing back dead ancestors, they were monkeys as well. Twilight Sparkle looked on with Princess Celestia to her left, "What do you think, Princess Celestia?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I have sensed them with my magic, they're all ghosts, they are the people who have lost their lives." Princess Celestia replied, "What are they doing out here for?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I'll go ask the emperor." Princess Celestia replied, and she flew to him, "Excuse me." Princess Celestia said, Volvox saw her flying in front of him, she flapped her wings as she stayed in place, "What's going on?" Princess Celestia asked, "The spirits of the dead come out at night, each one does something different, the ones you see now are going to their homes to see their families." Volvox replied, Princess Celestia's attention was caught, she looks at them and saw the fireflies fly out of the country and go to Fluttershy, "Hello there, you all should head to your homes." Fluttershy said, she sensed something strange about them, "These fireflies, I sense poor and sad souls in them." Fluttershy said, Volvox uses his telekinesis on himself and flies to Fluttershy, he landed on the ground softly, in front of her, "That's because those fireflies are ghosts of soldiers who got killed in a war." Volvox replied, "Oh, you poor, poor things, losing your life and your family never being able to see your families ever again, you all should go see them now." Fluttershy said, and they fly to the earth kingdom. Everybody hears a crow calling and Volvox sees it, he realizes what it was, "Eric." Volvox whispered, they hear a guitar playing in Volvox's land and they look, they saw a man playing on a roof, he had on a black long-sleeve shirt, black pants, black boots, and a black trench coat, he had messy and wavy black shoulder-length hair, and white makeup all over his face, with a black vertical line on his eyes, black makeup on his lips, black horizontal lines on the sides of his lips. The world's natives look at him and watch him, "Who is that?" Silverstream asked, "Eric Draven, he's a special kind of ghost." Volvox replied, "What's special about him?" Applejack asked, "See the crow watching us?" Volvox asked, they do and nod, "That crow is his connection to this world, if it is harmed or killed, he will become vulnerable." Volvox said, "I thought I sensed something strange about that crow." Fluttershy said, "Well, I'll go back now, I think we can establish relationships tomorrow." Volvox replied, the world's natives agreed excitedly and Volvox went back to his fortress, they all slept while the creatures and ghosts roamed around. The next day comes and the nymphs were put into society, they were treated equally in the water and earth kingdoms, while the wind kingdom labeled them below the elves due to them being new, and having less wind magic than them, their jobs in the caste system was to babysit the young when the adults were away, which they did not mind, since their children were friendly and well behaved. Volvox forms relationships with the world, but it was a little hard for him to keep track. The fire kingdom had healthy relationships with the griffons and dragons, but were strained with the ponies, hippogriffs, and changelings, while they were mostly neutral with the yaks. The water kingdom got along greatly with the ponies and hippogriffs, but was a bit strained with the yaks, and neutral with the changelings, dragons, and griffons. The cyclopes, ghouls, and goblins of the earth kingdom had a great relationship with the yaks, while the dwarfs were neutral with them, the rest of the earth kingdom had a mixed relationship with the ponies, they were also neutral with the changelings and the hippogriffs, and had a strained relationship with the griffons and dragons due to them trying to steal gold from their country from time to time. The wind kingdom was mostly neutral, their closest allies were the griffons and hippogriffs, the yaks were neutral with them, their relationship with the dragons were strained due to the dragons trying to steal their valuables, and they were neutral with the ponies and changelings, Princess Celestia especially disliked the kingdom's caste system, she believed it spread inequality and unfairness around their kingdom. Volvox's kingdom had a healthy relationship with the six countries due to its freedom and openness of other heritages. Tom was sitting at a table just outside of Volvox's kingdom, he was in front of the earth kingdom, and people from the four kingdoms go to him, they were there to receive information on their futures, a male dwarf was seeing him, "I wish to know when I will be able to be looked upon by the gods." the dwarf said, "You will find oblivion." Tom replied, the dwarf became sad and left. A female elf goes to him, "How will I do on finding my family?" the elf asked, "You will fail." Tom replied, the elf was shocked, she ran away crying. A female cockatrice walked to him next, much to everyone's surprises, "I want to know when my species will be respected again." the cockatrice said, "That day will never come." Tom replied, the cockatrice became shocked, "My people don't give up hope and optimism." the cockatrice said, "That is why your kind is disposable." Tom replied, the cockatrice was too shocked to speak, "TOM!!" Twilight Sparkle yelled angrily as she and her five friends ran to him from his right, "It really pays a lot to be polite." Twilight Sparkle said, "I am only giving them their future, whether they can handle it or not is their problem." Tom replied, "How can you be sure it will happen?" Applejack asked, "My visions of the future have never been wrong." Tom replied, "Well, if that's true, can you tell us about Equestria's future?" Rarity asked, "The fate and future of the other countries does not concern me." Tom replied, shocking the Mane Six, "You clearly can use some lessons in friendship." Twilight Sparkle said, "Such lessons are not important when you know how it is going to end." Tom replied, the Mane Six glare at him, "Come with us, we can teach you how to act." Twilight Sparkle said, and he follows them. Tom arrives at the School of Friendship and he was sent to Applejack's and Fluttershy's classes to learn about kindness and honesty, he did not learn anything. Classes ended and Tom floated around and saw Cozy Glow, he watched her carefully, "Who enrolled her into this school?" Tom asked, "I did. Why?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "You have secured your school's doom." Tom replied, and he floated out of the school, to Volvox's land while Twilight Sparkle looked at him with a frown. Volvox was trying to contact some of the gods, he wished to have a word with them, he had Dragon, Horse, Sheep, Rooster, and Pig go to the overworld to contact the gods. The five return and God went to them, the world's natives see him and look on with surprise, "I would like to know if anything strange has been happening in the overworld." Volvox said, "Actually, yes, the lamb didn't break the first four seals, Volvox." God replied, "How are the other three?" Volvox asked, "They are still intact." God replied, "Okay, so the trumpets haven't been sounded, yet." Volvox said, "Yes, the bowls are still full, too." God replied, "Okay, Tom said Cyborea was only the beginning, more threats will appear soon." Volvox said, "We have heard, we already confirmed it's not Apep." God replied, "I think I know who it is." Volvox said, "Okay, I have to go back now, Volvox, take it easy." God replied, and he went back to the overworld, "Wait, Emperor Volvox, can you come to us for a minute?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Volvox used his magic to teleport into Equestria, "What is it?" Volvox asked, "What are the seals, trumpets, and bowls?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "You don't know about them?" Volvox asked, "Actually, none of us do." Princess Celestia replied, Volvox sighed, "The seven seals are what triggers the end of the world, the first four seals have already been broken, they are what summoned those four horsemen, the first seal summons the guy on the white horse, he spreads conquest throughout the land, the second seal summons the one on the red horse, he spreads war, the third seal summons the one on the black horse, he spreads famine, and the fourth seal summons the one on the pale horse, he spreads death." Volvox replied, "What do the other three do?" Princess Luna asked, "The fifth seal will cause those who attend the shrines and temples in several of my kingdoms to be slain by martyrs, the sixth seal will cause the sun to be as black as a shadow, and the moon to be red like blood, the stars will fall, nature will be destroyed, and everybody will hide, and the seventh seal will be nothing but pure silence for half an hour, after that, seven angels will appear to sound off trumpets." Volvox replied, the world's natives were uneasy, "What do the trumpets do?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "The first trumpet will cause hail, fire, and blood to fall, and burn up one third of the trees and all of the grass. The second trumpet will cause a burning mountain to fall into the sea, and one third of all ships and sea life will be destroyed, along with one third of the water becoming blood. The third trumpet will make a star called Wormwood fall to the land, and poison one third of my land's drinkable water, its bitter taste will kill people. The fourth trumpet will make the sun, moon, and stars one third dimmer, and they will not move. The fifth trumpet will cause Abaddon to appear with his army to torment my people for five months. The sixth trumpet will cause four angels to come out of the water, they will lead a cavalry of two hundred million troops, and kill a third of my people. The seventh trumpet will cause a new kingdom to rise, and there will be lightning, thunder, earthquakes, and a hailstorm, and the doors to the temple will open." Volvox replied, this made everyone uneasy, "And the bowls?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The seven bowls come after the trumpets, the first bowl will make painful and foul ulcers appear on those who do not worship the gods. The second bowl will make the entire sea change to blood, all life in them will die. The third bowl will make all of the drinking water change to blood. The fourth bowl will make the sun extremely hot, so hot, it burns people alive. The fifth bowl will make darkness appear all over the land. The sixth bowl will dry up all water in my land, and people will prepare for battle. The seventh bowl will make an earthquake happen that will shake my entire land, and a hailstorm will happen, each piece of hail will weigh about a hundred pounds, I think you all may have found out already, but the first threat from Cyborea was only the beginning, someone else was commanding her, when that seventh bowl is poured, that person will also appear." Volvox replied, everycreature was shocked and uneasy, "It ain't gonna affect us, is it?" Applejack asked, "Well, if things go right, no, only my land will be affected." Volvox replied, the others were relieved, "Well, if that time's not for a while, I would like for some of your people to come to the School of Friendship." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, I guess I can try one, I'll send someone besides Tom to check it." Volvox replied, the ponies smiled, "Thank you for giving us a second chance, Volvox, I'll be looking forward to seeing who your student is." Twilight Sparkle said, and Volvox went back to his kingdom. The next day comes and Celestia was raising the sun, but a dragon comes out of the water kingdom and causes an eclipse, everybody realized it was Bakunawa, it blocked out the sun and made the land dark. Princess Celestia flew to Bakunawa, "Excuse me." Princess Celestia said, and Bakunawa looked at her, "I'm going to ask you kindly to move aside." Princess Celestia said, Bakunawa did not listen, "I would like for you to move so I can rise the sun." Princess Celestia said, Bakunawa just ignored her and kept going, "Can you please move so I can put up the sun?" Princess Celestia asked in an annoyed tone, she was trying her best to stay calm, Bakunawa just moved up slowly, Princess Celestia was starting to get angry. The sun moved up on its own and Princess Celestia was surprised, she looked at the sky and saw a female humanoid moving the sun, Volvox and Dommiel looked, they realized it was Amaterasu. Princess Celestia smiled and flew to her, "Thank you, I was at my wit's end." Princess Celestia said, "You're welcome, controlling the sun is my job, too." Amaterasu replied, and she went back to the overworld, Princess Celestia became happy and went back to Canterlot. Volvox asked who in the five kingdoms wanted to go to the School of Friendship, no one did, so he decided to have the ponies decide, they decided to have Nick come. Harvey and Orchid went with him, "Okay, I just need you all to sign here, and we'll be done." Twilight Sparkle said, and Harvey and Orchid signed the papers, "Friends and Family Day is around the corner, I'll be looking forward to seeing you two." Twilight Sparkle said, and the two left, "Do you have any magic to show us, Nick?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Sorry, but no." Nick replied, "Oh, right, your mom didn't teach you." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, I became more like my dad instead." Nick replied, "Was your father like that before you were born?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, but he kept it hidden, his world has this spray paint device that allows people to paint fake skin onto themselves, hybrids like him used it to hide from the world's government." Nick replied, "Oh, I see." Twilight Sparkle said, "How about you? You don't look normal, either. You're the only person around here who has both, a horn and wings." Nick replied, "Oh, about that, I'm a princess, I became one of these after accomplishing a princess worthy deed." Twilight Sparkle said, Nick felt sadness inside himself, "How did you become what you are?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Experimentation, I was mutated into what I am now against my will, so was my dad and Lance." Nick replied, "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, and if possible, I'd like other natives here, too, I still want to share our magic with each other." Twilight Sparkle said, and he went to class. Nick watched the unicorns cast magic, the Pegasi, griffon, dragon, changeling, and hippogriff fly, he also saw earth ponies trying to grow crops, he also saw Ocellus transform from time to time, and Silverstream change to a seapony, Nick stayed at the school for the night. Night time comes and Princess Luna was trying to raise the moon, but it kept moving on its own, Princess Luna was getting angry and looked into the sky, she saw three other deities trying to control the moon, two were male, and one was female, "Let go, I'm trying to raise the moon!" Princess Luna said, "It's my turn to raise the moon." one male deity said, "No, it's my turn." the female deity replied, "No, it's my turn." the other male deity said, the three were pulled out of the sky and into Equestria with telekinesis, Princess Celestia brought them, "Who are you three?" Princess Celestia asked, "I'm Khonshu." one male deity said, "Tsukuyomi." the other male deity said, "Artemis." the female deity said, "We're gods of the moon." Khonshu said, "Then why are you all fighting?" Princess Celestia asked, "We take turns on who raises it at night." Artemis replied, "And it's my turn." Tsukuyomi said, "No, it's my turn." Artemis replied, "Stop it, instead of arguing over who raises the moon, you all should raise it together." Princess Celestia said, the three deities become surprised, and they help Princess Luna raise the moon together, she stops with shock, "Wait. What the?" Princess Luna asked, they looked and saw Rabbit was sleeping on the moon, "Oh, right, Rabbit likes to sleep in the moon sometimes." Khonshu said, Princess Luna rolled her eyes and entered the dream realm, she saw a yokai called a Baku roaming the realm and eating away nightmares, Princess Luna smiled since it made her job easier, she was eating a grilled cheese sandwich while she worked in the dream realm. The next day comes and Volvox was looking at the sky to see when the next natural eclipse will be instead of Bakunawa blocking the view, he heard fighting in his fortress and realized from the noises that Tiger and Dragon were fighting again, Volvox exhaled through his three noses. Tiger and Dragon appeared behind Volvox while he looked at the sky, "Emperor, I cleaned the fortress for you." Tiger said, "No, I cleaned it first." Dragon said, "I cleaned faster than you." Tiger said, "I cleaned more than you." Dragon said, the two growl at one another, "Tiger, Dragon, we've been through this, I don't like one of you more than the other, I like you both equally, there is no need to try to win my favor." Volvox replied, the two continue growling and begin wrestling each other, "And of course, you two never listen." Volvox said while he looked at the sky, Princess Celestia flew to them and separated them with her telekinesis, "Stop it, both of you." Princess Celestia said, the two look at her, "I have heard you two lead when Tiān lù is not around, you two need work together instead of fighting, it will drive your team apart." Princess Celestia said, "Is that why you're here?" Dragon asked, "More, my student wishes to test the powers of you twelve, she'd like to see what you all can do." Princess Celestia replied, the Zodiac animals were silent, "Come on, guys, let's go." Tiger said, and they go to Equestria. The twelve Zodiac animals were in front of Cutie Mark Crusaders clubhouse with the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, Spike, Trixie, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, Princess Ember, and General Seaspray, "Alright, we need to know what you twelve can do, so we'll take turns and show us all of your powers, starting with the two leaders." Twilight Sparkle said, Tiger was able to control fire and manipulate metal, he changed his skin to metal in the process, he also had enhanced physical strength, speed, and endurance, and his claws were able to cut through anything. Dragon had complete control over fire, water, earth, wind, lava, ice, rocks, sand, snow, magma, light, and dark, he was able to change the time of the day, create illusions of the environment to trick his enemies, and create natural disasters, he also had control over wood, Spike and Princess Ember were shocked by how many powers he had. Rabbit was able to create furry copies of himself to trick his opponents, he could also teleport, and shapeshift like a changeling, he also revealed he is powered by the moon, Princess Luna made it appear and Rabbit grew bigger and had canine teeth, Princess Luna made it disappear, Rabbit revealed his last power was telepathic control over jackalopes, they hopped to him to form a unit, he let them go back to their homes shortly afterwards. Rooster could destroy things with his screams, which emitted purple sonic waves to appear, he can also fly for a short time, he transformed into a basilisk after absorbing sunlight, in that form, he could kill things by just touching them, turn creatures into stone with his eyes, and had toxic breath that made creatures choke, plants die, and water contaminated, Rooster changed back to his normal form afterwards, Fluttershy was horrified by his powers. Dog revealed his powers depend on how humans view dogs, they allow him to transform, he transformed into an axehandle hound, which allowed him to use his head like an axe, Aralez, which allowed him to fly, a Barghest, which allows him to mark people for death by giving them a wound that never heals, along with command over other dogs, a Bul-Gae, which made him have control over fire, Cerberus, which allowed him to have three heads and snakes on his necks, along with another snake for his tail, Dip, which allowed him to suck blood, Laelaps, which allowed him to catch anything he chased, and Orthrus, which gave him two heads, and a snake for his tail, Dog's strongest form was all of them combined into one, which scared the world's natives. Monkey could create statues of himself to full others, he can also make his calls come from any and every direction at once, and he could revive the dead, but they came back as monkeys, and he rode a nimbus cloud. Sheep was able to make food, crops, and plants grow, and had control over water, he could turn into water to disappear and appear elsewhere, he also shown himself to be able to create and control tsunamis, this scared the hippogriffs. Rat was a master at using throwing weapons, he can disappear into the shadows and hide in them, he was able to jump from shadow to shadow without coming out of the shadow he was hiding in, he was also able to create duplicates of himself, and his body was filled with diseases, anyone who made any kind of physical contact with him would make them ill and unable to be cured, Rat's last ability scared everyone, if he hid in the shadow of a person or animal, then he will possess that person or animal and have full control over them, and the host will have no memory of what happened when he left them. Pig made tusks grow out of the sides of his mouth and was able to use them as weapons, he can also make his fur turn gold, which shined in the sun and blinded others, he said he needed a volunteer to show his last power, Princess Ember went, he charged at her and she tried to breathe fire, but she could not, he knocked her down and she grunted, he explained his last power was give himself and his allies good luck in battle, while his enemies receive bad luck, which surprised the world's natives. Snake was able to extend his own size, there was no limit to how long or short he can get, he demanded to be cut apart to show his next power, so Rainbow Dash flew away and came back with a sword, she cut him apart and his severed body parts all grew heads and tails, impressing the world's natives, Snake then makes his body come back together, he revealed he can protrude fangs from the top of his mouth, they were seeping with poison, and like Rat's disease infected body, Snake's poison was incurable. Ox was able to harden his own body so he was immune to all damage, and could not feel pain, he can also grow bigger in size, which increased his physical strength, he can also control the size and shape of his horns, while the world's natives found his powers unimpressive, they still liked them. Horse had complete control over wind magic, he was able to run on the air, turn into gusts of wind, and summon tornadoes as well, he can also have a tornado around himself, which not only increased his speed, but destroyed whatever was around him, Horse had wind breath to blow things away, along with creating strong wind by flapping his tail around. The world's natives were impressed with what they can do, "Maybe Trixie can use you all for her shows." Trixie said, "Sorry, but our powers are meant for battle, not to entertain." Ox replied, "Speaking of battle, you two still need to learn teamwork, Tiger and Dragon." Princess Celestia said, "Actually, we all work well as a team." Monkey replied, the other eleven Zodiac animals nod, Princess Celestia scoff, "If you say so, but I'll be watching you twelve." Princess Celestia said, "Why are there no female Zodiac animals for?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the twelve were speechless, "Uh, actually, they were never created." Rabbit said, shocking the Mane Six, "Well, we have to go back now, we've got things to do." Dragon said, and they do, Dragon actually lied and the twelve rested in Volvox's fortress. Two days pass and Volvox decided to take a break from looking for Orchid's world, so he decided to try to look for Silent Hill in his world with his magic, Dommiel helped him, so did the Count of Saint Germain, they ran to him, "Volvox, I think we found it." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Show me the location telepathically." Volvox replied, and Dommiel did, he finds it and gets ready to use his magic to bring the area into the world, he was making it appear under the wind kingdom since there was nothing but dirt there. Volvox makes it appear and the world's natives see it, Volvox looked at it, "No, this is Forgotten Hill, we're looking for Silent Hill." Volvox said, "Drat, we're actually sensing strange things in that area, too." Dommiel replied, "Like what?" Volvox asked, "Monsters, ghosts, human puppets, and people being experimented on in a clinic." Dommiel replied, "Well, we'll check it out later, let's send it back." Volvox said, and he does, and they keep looking, "Wait, I found South Ashfield Heights." the Count of Saint Germain said, and he shows Volvox telepathically, he makes it appear under the wind kingdom, "Can you come here for a minute, Henry?" Volvox asked, and he does, "Is that it?" Volvox asked, "Yes, Room 302 is on the third floor." Henry replied, "Let's go." Volvox said, and he, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, Tom, the twelve Zodiac animals, and Tiān lù get ready to go, "Wait!" Twilight Sparkle said, as she, her other five friends, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Shining Armor, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence went to them, "We're going with you guys." Princess Celestia said, "Alright, but stay close." Volvox replied, and he uses his magic to shrink himself to the size of an average pony, much to the surprise of the ponies, Volvox then teleports himself and the others to Room 302. The thirty one arrive at Room 302 and were in front of the door, Dommiel tries to open it, Fluttershy looks around and exclaims with shock, the others turn around and saw nineteen bloody hand prints on the wall, "What in tarnation?" Applejack asked, "Can we leave? This place is already scaring me." Fluttershy said, "Stay with us, Fluttershy, we need to stay together." Twilight Sparkle said, "The door's locked." Dommiel said, Volvox uses his powers to teleport himself and the others to inside the apartment room, they look and were shocked to see the door was chained up on the inside, "Hey, there's a message." Pinkie Pie said, "Don't go out!! -Walter." Princess Celestia said, "Who's Walter?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I think I know where he's at, this way." Dommiel replied, and he leads them to the hallway, they see a hole in the wall, they enter the secret room and see the supplies Walter used to make himself a ghost, the ponies and Spike were very uncomfortable, "What happened in here?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "He performed a ritual that allowed him to come back as a ghost, and create a world where he is the king." Tom replied, "I am unfamiliar with the material used for whatever ritual he performed, but it does not look like a pleasant one." Princess Celestia said, "Hey, you guys might want to see this." Shining Armor said, and they go to him, they see the water reflection he was looking at, "What is this?" Princess Cadence asked, "It looks like a portal, it looks one way, though." Princess Luna replied, "That's all there is in this room, next area's the door on the right." Volvox said, and they leave and enter the bathroom. Everyone enters the bathroom, it was crammed, Fluttershy screamed in horror, they look at her and became scared when they saw the blood in the bathtub, "What happened here?!" Starlight Glimmer asked, "According to Henry's report, when he woke up, he heard the shower running, he came in here and the shower stopped on its own, and this was here." Volvox replied, the ponies and Spike were uneasy, "Hey, look at that wall." Spike said, they look and saw a big hole in the wall, it was barricaded, and there was a circle with weird symbols around it, "I do not recognize these symbols, if it is a magic seal, then I have no clue what it is." Princess Celestia said, "Next area's the bedroom, follow me." Volvox replied, and he leads them to the bedroom, there was nothing in there, "Henry said this is where he always woke up." Volvox said, "Well, duh, it's his bedroom." Rainbow Dash replied, "That's not what he meant, come with me." Volvox said, and he leads them to the laundry room, the ponies and Spike were shocked when they saw blood coming out of the dryer, "What did he put in there?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "That happened on its own, it was empty." Volvox replied, the world's natives were uneasy, they look and gasp when they saw the hole in the wall, they saw four placards, they look at them, they were called Temptation, Source, Watchfulness, and Chaos, "You all want to enter the hole?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, the ponies and Spike refused, "What else is there?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Henry reported having fourteen hauntings when he lived here, he used candles and medallions to exorcise them." Dommiel replied, "How effective were they?" Princess Cadence asked, "Some hauntings were more stubborn than others, some came back even after being exorcised." Dommiel replied, "It's up to us then, I'm going to cast a spell to exorcise them permanently, we will all see what they are while I do." Princess Celestia said, and she casts the spell, everybody saw the hauntings, the living room's clock ticking really fast, the living room's windows rattling, shoes that walked on their own and left bloody footprints, pulsating cracks in the wall in the living room and bedroom, a ghost appearing in the living room, bedroom, laundry room, and bathroom, a shadow in the bedroom's closet, the phone in the bedroom saying "I'm always watching you.", the living room's couch being covered in blood, blood coming out of the kitchen's faucet, a dead cat in the refrigerator, blood coming out of the peephole and Henry seeing a dead version of himself, the TV having static and an upside-down and twitching man on it, babies above the chest that were caused by a doll, and the picture of the church in the bedroom changing to a portrait of Walter's corpse's face. The hauntings scared everyone, but Princess Celestia exorcised them, "There, is there anything more?" Princess Celestia asked, "Nope, that's all, okay, we found one, we now have to find Shepherd's Glen and Silent Hill, let's get out of here." Volvox replied, and he teleported everyone out along with him, Volvox changes back to his regular size and makes South Ashfield Heights go back to his world, everybody left and went on with their days. A few hours pass and the four kingdoms were trading with items they found in the nature of their respective countries, they all used them for alchemy. A racket was heard in the south and Volvox looked, he heard roaring, "Me hungry." a booming male voice said, everybody looks and they saw a giant human male eating everything, "Of course, Gargantua." Volvox said, Gargantua ate everything in front of him, some of the natives screamed while Gargantua reached down and picked up things, he ate them immediately, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle were shocked by what they saw, they thought Twilight Sparkle had a big appetite, "Beelzebub, your servant got out." Dommiel said jokingly, the ground erupted and flies flew out, Beelzebub came out, he was a giant humanoid fly holding a staff made out of a skull and bones in his upper right leg, Rarity screamed at the sight of the flies, "Where is it?" Beelzebub asked, Dommiel pointed to behind Beelzebub with his right index finger, Beelzebub turns around and saw Gargantua, he quickly turned around, "He does not serve me!" Beelzebub said angrily, "Guys." Twilight Sparkle said to Volvox's and Dommiel's rights and Beelzebub's left, they look and see the ponies, "Who is this?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I am Beelzebub, Prince of Gluttony." Beelzebub replied, "Gluttony?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Yes, he spreads the overindulgence of foods and drinks throughout the land." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Your appetite is insatiable, Gargantua." Tom said, "But me feast in future, right?" Gargantua asked, "You have no future." Tom replied, "What do Tom mean me have no future?!" Gargantua asked, "Your appetite will consume you." Tom replied, and Gargantua kept eating, he was now eating the trees, Tom floated to them, "Volvox, I am seeing in the future that Gargantua was sent by the same person who sent Cyborea and the others." Tom said, "Did you see anything else?" Volvox asked, "In five days from now, Fujin and Raijin will appear in the wind kingdom." Tom replied, Gargantua screams and he body explodes after eating too much, shocking the ponies and Spike, "Well, we have to prepare, sorry for taking up your time, Beelzebub." Volvox said, "There's more, the underworld is acting up, we believe Apep is causing trouble." Beelzebub replied, "I won't be surprised, you should go in case things get ugly." Volvox said, and Beelzebub went back to the underworld, the ground fixed itself, and everyone continued with their days. Two days pass and Friends and Family Day came at the School of Friendship. Orchid went to go see Nick, "Where's your husband and the other kid?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Helping Volvox prepare for battle." Orchid replied, "Wow, I'm surprised you actually showed up, mom." Nick said, "I was forced to come here because of Harvey being unavilable." Orchid replied, "What about finding your home world?" Nick asked, "Dommiel's working on that right now." Orchid replied, "Right, mom, I learned that these creatures need horns to cast magic." Nick said, "Well, that's a pity for them." Orchid replied, "You should've taught your son some of your spells." Princess Cadence said, "There was no need to." Orchid replied, "I still wanted to learn, though." Nick said, "Well, you won't always get what you want, Nick." Orchid replied, "Do you have a horn, Nick?" Fluttershy asked, "Actually, about that." Nick replied, he uses his mutant powers to make horns appear at the sides of his head and on his forehead, shocking everycreature, "I have three horns." Nick said, Princess Celestia walked to him and examined them, "They don't seem capable of casting magic, though." Princess Celestia said, "Are you going to teach me now, mom?" Nick asked, "No." Orchid replied, Nick became disappointed, "I'll be going back now, I have other things to worry about." Orchid said, the world's natives were shocked that Orchid would not spend time with her son. Orchid was about to leave but someone grabbed her by the back of her head and made her look at Nick, they look and saw it was Eric, he held the back of her head with his right hand, the crow was on his right shoulder, "Take a good look at him." Eric said, Orchid did, "You are his mother." Eric said, "So?" Orchid asked, "Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children." Eric replied, Princess Cadence was very touched by what he just said, "It's just a trivial title." Orchid said, "Believe me, nothing is trivial." Eric replied, and he lets go of her, "What are you doing here, Eric?" Nick asked, "The afterlife's acting up, I was revived by some unknown force." Eric replied, Nick made the horns go back under his skin, Eric was curious, he touches Nick's shoulders and sees and feels the time when Nick was experimented on against his will, he grunts and moves back while clutching his head, the others went to him, "You okay?" Rainbow Dash asked, "It is a power of his, through physical contact, he can see the memories of others, and feel whatever pain they felt in that memory." Orchid replied, shocking the world's natives, "The pain you experienced, Nick, it's almost as painful as when I was murdered, and what happened to Shelly." Eric said, Sunset Shimmer ran to him and touched his right bicep with her right front hoof, Princess Celestia casted a spell to summon a screen to see the memory. Everybody saw Eric with Shelly, they were twelve hours from getting married, they saw four men come in, they attacked and raped Shelly, she and Eric were murdered, and Eric came back from the dead, hunted down and killed the people responsible, and the man who sent them. Everycreature was horrified by what they saw, the ponies went over to comfort him, "Come on, maybe talking things out will make you feel better." Starlight Glimmer said, and she took Eric with her for counseling, "Well, I guess that's everything." Twilight Sparkle said, and they continue Friends and Family Day. Three days pass and wind and thunder appeared in the wind kingdom, everybody looks and saw Fujin and Raijin flying around, Fujin made powerful tornadoes appear that destroyed the homes, while Raijin summoned lightning onto the land. Volvox shot hellfire beams out of his six eyes at the two, it did not do much, the lightning from Raijin hit Volvox, it did not hurt him, Fujin makes powerful gusts of wind to blow the homes away of the other kingdoms. Harvey flew up and shot red beams out of his red robotic right eye at the speed of a machine gun, the two were not harmed, Orchid floated up and held her right arm out with her hand open, she shot a yellow beam with gray rocks in it out of her thumb, a small green tornado out of her pinky finger, red and orange fire out of her ring finger, blue water out of her index finger, and purple lightning out of her middle finger, they did nothing, so Orchid's eyes glow blue, water comes out of the water kingdom and floats above Orchid, she makes it go to Raijin and soaks him, he still casted lightning from far away, the water did nothing. Fujin flies around while blowing wind everywhere, Corvo teleported onto him from behind and knocked him out of the air, Corvo stops time and stabs his sword into the right side of Fujin's neck, he holds a crossbow in his left hand and fires five shots at Raijin's head, time moved again, Fujin regenerated from his wound, and Raijin got hit by the arrows, it did not bother him, Fujin moved back and Corvo began to fall, he teleported to the ground and was fine. Raijin keeps casting lightning and it was almost hitting Canterlot, Rainbow Dash quickly flew around with a cloud to absorb the lightning, while Fujin made tornadoes appear to destroy things and mess up her flying, and destroyed nature. Red electricity appears in the sky and it forms a symbol, the world's natives look at it with surprise, Volvox looks and realizes what it was, the symbol shoots out a beam and destroys whatever it touched, Fujin and Raijin were destroyed, the symbol goes down and was on Lazlo's left hand. Princess Celestia flew down into Volvox's kingdom along with the other three Princesses, the rest of the Mane Six and Spike ran there, "Wait, Lazlo, let me see your left hand." Princess Celestia said, and he shows her and the others, they gasp, "What is this?" Princess Cadence asked, "It is the Rune of Punishment, representation of atonement and forgiveness, it is a powerful weapon, but eats away the host's life every time it is used. When the host dies, it passes to the next nearest person, and the previous host changes to ash, and their memories are trapped in it." Volvox replied, shocking the ponies and Spike, "Lazlo, this is too dangerous to have in public, if you visit any of our countries, do not use it under any circumstances." Princess Celestia said, "Maybe I can help." a male voice said, everybody saw Discord, "Add a few touches here and there, and voilà." Discord said, and the Rune of Punishment went haywire, beams and swords shot out everywhere while Lazlo tried to contain it, "Discord!" the Mane Six said sternly, "Oh, my deepest apologies, I did not mean for that to happen." Discord said, and he uses his powers to fix it, the Rune of Punishment then began to summon the people it had killed, "Oh my, it wasn't supposed to do that, either, let me try again." Discord said, and he makes them disappear and the Rune of Punishment appeared on Lazlo's right hand, he now had two, "Uh, Discord, I think it would be best if you don't interfere." Princess Celestia said, "Okay." Discord replied, and he changed things back to normal and disappeared. Tom flew to Volvox, "Volvox, one of your former generals is attacking next, it is Apep." Tom said, "I'd knew he'd return eventually." Volvox replied, "Who's that?" Spike asked, "Apep, a serpent of chaos, he used to serve under me, he betrayed me because I was too orderly for his liking, so I'll have to prepare again." Volvox replied, shocking the ponies and Spike, "Well, good luck, we'll be around if you need any help." Princess Celestia said, and they left Volvox's land. A few days pass and Princess Cadence called Orchid to see her, "Now, Orchid, I know you have your ways of parenting, but you should spend more time with Nick." Princess Cadence said, "Trust me, he wanted to hang out with me all the time when he was a toddler." Orchid replied, "Why isn't he like that now?" Princess Cadence asked, "Because he learned about his father and developed a newfound respect for him, his stories embarrassed Nick to no end when he was a kid, but he grew to love and appreciate him when he learned his tales were actually true." Orchid replied, "About what, exactly?" Princess Cadence asked, "That he was a freedom fighter, everyone in his world's society is purebred, anyone who is a hybrid is looked down upon by society, and worked to death with no pay." Orchid replied, shocking Princess Cadence, "Surely, someone stood up to them." Princess Cadence said, "There was, my husband." Orchid replied, "What about Lance, is he your younger son?" Princess Cadence asked, "No, Nick adopted him, his parents were enemies with my husband." Orchid replied, "I see, well, this way, we have others to speak to you." Princess Cadence said, and she let Orchid into a room, she saw Twilight Velvet, Windy Whistles, Mrs. Shy, Cloudy Quartz, Cookie Crumbles, and Granny Smith, "Please sit, Orchid, we'd like to speak to you." Mrs. Shy said, and Orchid does, Princess Cadence closed the door and sat with the other mares, "Alright, Orchid, we'd like to speak, we're not mad at you or anything, but we would like to know why you spend almost no time with your children." Mrs. Shy said, "I don't have the time." Orchid replied, "I dost not believe that, I hast seen thou reading in thine spare time." Cloudy Quartz said, Orchid took note of her way of speaking, but understood it, "That's my break time." Orchid replied, "You don't bring those two together to read with ya?" Granny Smith asked, "I prefer to read alone." Orchid replied, "What are you doing at the times you're not reading or seeing the emperor?" Princess Cadence asked, "House chores." Orchid replied, "What is the most common house chore you do?" Windy Whistles asked, "Laundry." Orchid replied, "How about cooking?" Cookie Crumbles asked, "Sometimes, it's usually my husband who does the cooking." Orchid replied, "Who cleans the house?" Twilight Velvet asked, "Nick and Lance, they're usually the ones who make the messes in the first place." Orchid replied, "Look, Orchid, it's just, we'd like for you to spend time with your kids." Princess Cadence said, "Are you saying I have to?" Orchid asked, "No, we're saying you should, I think it would mean a lot to Nick, the head mare of his school said he wishes he can spend time with you like how he does with your husband." Princess Cadence replied, "Do any of you know what it's like to look after kids?" Orchid asked, "Yes, we all do, Orchid." Windy Whistles replied, "Really?" Orchid asked, "Orchid, we're all mothers, too, just like you, and before I became a mother, I was a babysitter." Princess Cadence replied, "Do any of you have experience dealing with two kids at once?" Orchid asked, "Yes, I have two kids, too." Twilight Velvet replied, "Well, no, I only have one, but she was a handful." Windy Whistles said, "I have two kids as well." Mrs. Shy said, "I have four kids." Cloudy Quartz said, "I have two kids, too." Cookie Crumbles said, "Ah had a kid, and Ah now have three grandkids." Granny Smith said, Orchid was surprised, but she kept her emotions sealed, "See, Orchid, we have several kids, too, well, except for Windy here, but we still try our best to spend time with them, you should do the same." Cookie Crumbles said, "I guess I can try." Orchid replied, "Thank you, Nick will be coming home soon, and if possible, we can gather together and you can talk about your time with Nick and Lance." Princess Cadence said, "If ya can, maybe you can have Nick and Lance spend time with our kids." Granny Smith said, "Yes, that would be very nice to have." Twilight Velvet said, "I agree, Rainbow Dash would love a new flying partner." Windy Whistles said, "It's their choice, they'll decide on their own." Orchid replied, "Okay then, thank you for coming, Orchid, we'll be looking forward to see how things go, and I hope we can talk about children together." Princess Cadence said, and Orchid left. Nick went home later that day and spent time with his family, Harvey and Lance played around, Orchid tried to join, but she lacked the energy, and due to her concealing her emotions, Cadence and the others did not know how things were going as they watched from the Crystal Empire's balcony. Nick hugged Orchid for joining in, Orchid shrugged and then hugged him, Cadence and the other mares smiled. Volvox was looking at the sky and trying to figure out what to do, the ground burst open and the demons of the underworld came out, he saw Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa were the closest, "What's going on?" Volvox asked, "We don't know, but the underworld is acting up." Stheno replied, "Yes, there's a strange presence down there." Euryale said, "It was slowly killing us, like poison, we don't know what's causing it." Medusa said, Volvox saw the vampires, werewolves, specters, wraiths, the jinn, incubi, succubi, and alps come out as well, most of them came into his land through the five rivers, the world's natives see Phlegethon was very far inside the fire kingdom, and Lethe was the water stream that was westernmost in Volvox's kingdom, the people in his kingdom were busy taking pictures with their phones and recording. A portal opens to Volvox's left and the Count of Saint Germain came out, "Volvox! I bring terrible news!" the Count of Saint Germain said, "What is it?" Volvox asked, "The fifth seal is going to break three days from now!" the Count of Saint Germain said, "What?!" Volvox asked, "Yes, he speaks the truth, before that happens, one more monster will appear, the Nuckelavee." Tom replied, "When?" Volvox asked, "Tomorrow afternoon." Tom replied, "Let's get ready then." Volvox said, and he looks at the earth kingdom, "Attention, all natives of the earth kingdom." Volvox said, and they all come out to see him, "Get out of the country, the Nuckelavee is coming." Volvox said, the natives of the earth kingdom scream with terror and run to Volvox's kingdom, the world's natives were confused. The next day comes and it was afternoon, the people in the water kingdom were screaming as they got out of the water, the world's natives wondered what was going on, they see the water rise up and something moving, the Nuckelavee came to land, all of the world's natives screamed in horror at its appearance, it went to the earth kingdom and was going to cause havoc, "Everybody, use your water spells, it's weak to fresh water." Dommiel said, and the natives of the water kingdom went to Volvox's kingdom to use their water magic, they use the fresh water from the faucets of the homes and shoot it to the Nuckelavee, it was hit, it screeches and its breath was released into the air, all of the walking trees in the earth kingdom began to die, the world's natives were worried about the walking trees, but Dommiel used his telekinesis to put them under the wind kingdom. Nuckelavee keeps advancing, but the head of the horse got blown off by a shotgun, everyone looks and saw Ash, the Nuckelavee begins to fall, and Ash places the chainsaw on its neck and cuts its human head off, it fell over and died, "Now, that's how you take down a monster." Ash said, the ponies looked at him with disapproval, but he went back home and everybody went on with their days afterwards. Two days pass and the technology in Volvox's kingdom began going haywire due to the ghosts haunting them, mostly to play pranks on the humans living in there. A loud shattering sound was heard in the sky, the natives began to move on their own against their wills, Volvox realized what happened, "The fifth seal has been broken." Volvox said, "Quick, get the people who attend the shrines and temples before they are killed by martyrs." Dommiel said, and Tiān lù, the twelve Zodiac animals, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, Tom, and the other natives who were not possessed help get those who attend the shrines and temples, while Volvox and Dommiel used their powers to look for the martyrs and fight them off. Volvox used his hellfire powers to take out the martyrs in the water, earth, and wind kingdoms, while Dommiel used his shadow powers to fend off the martyrs in the fire kingdom, he was making shadow creatures come out of their shadows to attack them. Horse ran around to rescue the ones in the shrines and temples with his wind magic, while Ox and Pig held them off, Tiger and Dragon worked together to fight off the martyrs, while Rabbit and Monkey deceived them, Rat threw kunais at the martyrs to distract them, Rooster changed to a basilisk and turned some of them to stone with his gaze, Dog made himself have five heads and two tails that were snakes by fusing Cerberus and Orthrus together, it scared the martyrs, Sheep used his water powers to help those in the water kingdom to safety, and Snake slithered around to block the paths of the martyrs. Tiān lù controlled gold with his mind and shot it at the martyrs, it hurt them, some died from them, he did what he could to hold them off. Tom looked into the eyes of others and gave them visions of how they will die, it scared the martyrs into quitting, Giovi used his fire magic and telekinesis to fight the martyrs in the water kingdom. The world's natives went over to help them and take those who attended the shrines and temples to safety, "Everybody, this way." Twilight Sparkle said, and they were led into their countries, some of them went to go help them fight the martyrs. The natives of the fire kingdom and earth kingdom were the main ones who fought the martyrs, the natives of the world joined shortly afterwards and they were apprehended, they were no longer controlled and had no memory on what has happened. A glass shattering sound was heard in the sky again, an earthquake happened, the sun became black, the moon rose and it became blood red, and stars fell out of the sky, the earthquake broke some of the ground, the world's natives realize the sixth seal was broken. Another glass shattering sound was heard in the sky, and silence happened afterwards, "Everyone out, the seventh seal has been broken." Volvox said, and the natives of his land go to Equestria, the Dragon Lands, Griffonstone, Yakyakistan, the Changeling Hive, and Mount Aris. The sky acts up again and Volvox saw the Greek, Aztec, Egyptian, Norse, Japanese, and Hindu gods come down, along with God and his lamb, "Something's wrong, we've been forced out of the overworld." Brahma said, "What is it?" Volvox asked, "Something just threw us out, we don't know what." Athena replied, "Can you all describe it?" Dommiel asked, "There was this invisible force, it just literally threw us out of the overworld." Hera replied, "We don't know what's going on, it's like something of divine power is acting." Ra said, "We did sense the powers, though, it feels like Apep's doing." Vishnu said, "Well, let's worry about that later, the seven trumpets are going to sound in thirty minutes." Volvox replied, "Volvox, I have found an error in the seals, trumpets, and bowls, the two witnesses are not going to happen, neither will the seven thunders." Tom said, "I didn't think so, something's obviously not right." Volvox replied, and they all wait. Thirty minutes pass and the first trumpet was heard in the sky, hail, fire, and blood fell from the sky, one third of the trees in the south, and all plants on the ground in the east, west, and south burn up. The second trumpet sounds and a mountain that was on fire falls into the water in the west, one third of the marine life in the water died, and a third of the water changed to blood. The third trumpet sounds and a star falls from the sky, it poisons all of the freshwater in Volvox's kingdom. The fourth trumpet sounds and the sun, moon, and stars become one third dimmer. An angel flies down to the land, "Woe, woe, woe." the angel said, and the fifth trumpet sounded, a star fell and opened up the ground, smoke comes out and darkens the sky, Abaddon came out of the hole, he was a demon with upside-down wings, his locusts appeared, they were warhorses, with the face of men, the teeth of lions, the wings of locusts, long hair, and the tails of scorpions, they all wore gold crowns and iron breastplates, "Go, the five month torment begins, do not kill anyone." Abaddon said, and they go forward. Volvox, the gods, and the demons fend them off, while there was many, they went down easily, the unicorns, alicorns, and changelings joined in to help, the locusts were easy to take down, and they were apprehended, "Wait, stop." Abaddon said, and the locusts did, "Where is everyone?" Abaddon asked, the locusts looked and saw all of Volvox's citizens were missing, "They died." Volvox replied, "How?" Abaddon asked, "Cyborea Iscariot and her army got them." Volvox replied, "Oh, I see, I don't have to do my job, then." Abaddon said, "We still have to apprehend you." Hera replied, "Oh." Abaddon said as he looked down, "Come with us now, Abaddon." Odin said, and he was taken away. The sixth trumpet sounds and four angels flew down, to the west and went underwater, noises were heard in the water, two hundred million horses came out, each horse had the head of a lion and a snake for their tails. Plague came out of their mouths, along with fire, smoke. The mounted horsemen were wearing breastplates that were the color of fire. The changelings change into them and go over to help, the werewolves absorb the moonlight and transform, they ran to fight them as well. Rat created duplicates of himself and entered the shadows of the horses to control them, Snake made his own body grow longer and he wrapped himself around the cavalry, Pig shined his fur to blind them, and the unicorns and alicorns shot magic at them. The changelings changed to bears to fight the cavalry, they struggled, so the yaks joined and knocked them down from behind, Sheep did as well. Volvox sent Phoenix and Thunderbird to fight the four angels, the two shoot fire and lightning at the four angels, Phoenix also absorbed fire out of the horses, the changelings subdued the cavalry with their sizes and strength, the gods subdued them with the unicorns, the four angels fought Volvox's two birds, Horse and Sheep went to them to help, Horse mixed his wind magic with Phoenix while Sheep mixed his water magic with Thunderbird, the two shot their magic at the four angels, they all got burned, blown away, soaked, and electrocuted, they scream and fall, they stopped so they do not kill them, they were arrested by the gods. The seventh trumpet sounds and lightning, thunder, earthquakes, and hail appeared everywhere in Volvox's land, a kingdom came out in the east, under the wind kingdom, it looked like an ancient Egyptian society. The doors to the temple opens and Set comes out, he makes desert storms appear out of thin air and shoots it to the people in Volvox's land, "It is my time to rule, those who oppose me shall die." Set said, and he saw Osiris going over to fight his brother, "Stay back, this is my fight." Osiris said, and he flew to Set. Set makes desert storms appear to blow Osiris back while he makes Egyptian symbols appear and the water in the west begins to have zombies come out of it, they go to Osiris and were going to help him, but they were slow, Dommiel rolls his eyes and sends them to Osiris with telekinesis. They arrive and try to take Set down to eat him, "One reason why I don't use zombies often." Volvox said, "Yeah, they have no brain to think with." Dommiel replied, and they keep watching. Set makes more desert storms appear while Osiris commands the undead, Set was soon pulled down and screamed as he was devoured, "Wait!" Twilight Sparkle said as she flew to Osiris, he looks at her, "Aren't you going to forgive him?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "How can I? He usurped my throne once, and now he wants to claim it again." Osiris replied, "Please, spare him, maybe he can still change his ways." Twilight Sparkle said, Osiris looks at Set, "Nope, too late." Osiris replied, Twilight Sparkle looks and saw Set was already devoured, Twilight Sparkle was shocked and looked at Osiris, Set groans a bit and tried to move, but Corvo made rats appear to eat the rest of him, he was gone for good at that time, Twilight Sparkle was still very shocked. The ground erupts and a big serpent comes out, it was bigger than Set, it was sixteen yards long, wore a helmet made out of flint, and had a gold body, "I have returned, Volvox." the serpent said, "You finally showed yourself, Apep." Volvox said in a deadpan tone, Apep uses his gaze to hypnotize the other gods and they went to go attack the others, the world's natives screamed as the gods attacked, great destruction appeared. Volvox shot hellfire blasts out of his three mouths, it did not do much to Apep, he shot purple venom out of his mouths at him, Dommiel made his shadow attack Apep, it did not do much, Corvo tried to possess Apep, but he could not, Lazlo's Rune of Punishment was ineffective against him, Ash's bullets were not doing well, and his chainsaw could not cut through his hide, and Eric's shotgun was not doing anything against him. Bullets riddle Apep's body and he screams in pain, the hypnotizing ends, everybody looks and they saw Alucard, "Alucard." Volvox said with surprise, Apep shoots poison out of his mouth, it destroyed Alucard, but he generated, shocking everyone, "What the?" Apep asked, Alucard laughed, "What's so funny?" Apep asked, "A monster cannot kill a monster like me, the only thing that can kill me is a human." Alucard replied, Apep was shocked, but he felt something cut him from behind, the person jumps and everyone saw Samurai Jack, "I hope I'm not too late." Samurai Jack said, "No, you're just in time." Ra replied, "Where are Set's minions?" Samurai Jack asked, "They didn't appear." Ra replied, "You fools! I cannot be destroyed!" Apep said angrily, and he got ready to attack, but Snake made his own size grow and tangled Apep, Ra, Amaterasu, and Apollo use the sun to try to burn him, it did nothing, Princess Celestia joined and she used her powers over the sun to combine it with theirs, Samurai Jack cut him to pieces, and Alucard and the man in the red trench coat shot him to smithereens with their black and white pistols. Everybody gathers around and Tom floats to them, "Everyone, the last threat will appear after the seven bowls, he's the one who's controlling all of the monsters." Tom said, "Who could it be?" Hades asked, Tom has a vision and becomes shocked, "What is it, Tom?" Susanoo asked, "The last monster is Volvox's former second-in-command." Tom replied, the gods became shocked and scared, "I thought so, I had a feeling Typhon was behind this." Volvox said, "Excuse me." Princess Celestia said as she flew to Volvox, "Who's Typhon?" Princess Celestia asked, "My treacherous second-in-command, he was my right hand before Dommiel here, he tried to overthrow me so he can control the land, he will doom us all if he wins." Volvox replied, the world's natives were shocked, "We'll keep an eye on your people." Princess Celestia said, "Okay, thank you." Volvox replied, and Princess Celestia flew back. A day passes and the angels, demons, and gods met with the world's natives, they learned there were two types of angels and demons, the regular ones, and the humans who became angels and demons by practicing the forbidden arts, they lived in caste systems as well, with the humans lower than the regular angels and demons, the gods ruled the overworld, while the underworld was ruled by marquises, counts, dukes, princes, and kings, they had many rulers, they checked Volvox's citizens to make sure they were alright. Telepathically controlled angels fly in the sky, everyone sees seven of them, each one had a bowl of red liquid. The first bowl is poured and sores and ulcers appear on Volvox's citizens, the world's natives, angels, demons, gods, and Volvox and his court look at them with great worry as they scream in pain. Nurse Redheart and the others rush to them to try to treat them. The second bowl is poured and all of the sea in Volvox's land changes to blood, the marine life die, much to the hippogriffs' horrors. The third bowl and all of the drinking water changed to blood. The fourth bowl pours and the sun becomes blazing hot, Volvox's people catch on fire, the natives of the fire kingdom were immune, so was Volvox and his court, and the gods, Rooster absorbed the sun to make himself stronger while Princess Celestia, Amaterasu, Ra, Surya, and Huitzilopochtli desperately tried to power down the sun, they managed to after a struggle. The fifth bowl is poured and darkness enshrouded Volvox's land, Volvox's people refused to worship Typhon. The sixth bowl is poured and the water kingdom dries up, "Everybody, get ready." Volvox said, and they all were ready to fight. The seventh bowl is poured and a giant earthquake happens, and a hailstorm happens as well, with each hail weighing as much as a hundred pounds. Volvox uses his telekinesis to stop the hail in midair and make them fall gently, the Pegasi try to use clouds to absorb the hail and prevent it from hitting everyone, the earthquake stops and everything was destroyed. The ground erupts and a tall humanoid figure comes out, he blocked out the entire sky, he had yellowish-green skin, big orange bat-like wings coming out of his back, arms with snakes acting as his fingers, big snakes for the lower half of his body, snakes coming out the sides of his head, his main head was shaped like a horse's head, it was light black, and he had small black mane going down to his sacrum, "I have returned, Volvox." the monster said in a deep, booming voice, "It's been a long time, Typhon." Volvox replied, Indeed, this land is mine to control." Typhon said, and he shoots lava out of his heads, shocking the world's natives, "How many heads does he have?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "One... hundred." a male giant replied weakly, "A hundred heads? I've never heard of anyone having a hundred heads before." Twilight Sparkle said, "Twilight, go unlock the chest for the Rainbow Power, I think we're going to need it against him." Princess Celestia said, and she and her five friends ran to the chest. Volvox and the others try to hold Typhon off, but they were doing very little, Zeus' thunderbolts were the most effective thing right now, Volvox's hellfire powers did little against Typhon's lava powers, he also made hurricanes and tornadoes, which blew everyone except Volvox away. Volvox tried using his telekinesis to make Typhon's snake shoot lava at him instead, it did nothing to him. The world's natives join in and try to help, Harvey changed his right hand to a gun and shot a purple sonic beam at Typhon, it did nothing, his right robotic eye lights up and he shoots red beams at Typhon, they shot at the speed of a machine gun, it also did nothing, so Harvey held his left foot out, the heel opened and Harvey shot a small rocket out of his foot, it hit Typhon and exploded, but did nothing to him, Nick and Lance had the same abilities as Harvey, but were not as good at combat as he was, Orchid used her five elements to shoot blasts at Typhon, he was immune to them all. Volvox uses his powers to change the environment around, he made volcanoes, blizzards, avalanches, hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms, and earthquakes happen all at once with his magic, it proved ineffective. Phoenix and Thunderbird tried shooting fire and lightning out of their mouths at him, Typhon took control of Phoenix's fire and burned him with it, while he used his wind powers to make Thunderbird's lightning go back to him, the two were knocked out of the sky. Rat tried to take over Typhon by going into his shadow, but could not, Typhon used his mind to force him out, Rat tried throwing knives at him, it did nothing, one of the snakes that made up Typhon's lower body landed on top of him, and injured him greatly. Ox tried growing in size and increasing his physical strength, Typhon smashed him with his right fist, but Ox was not killed. Tiger tried to scratch Typhon's hide while he made himself made out of metal, he could not cut through his skin, Typhon blew him away with his wind powers. Rabbit commanded the jackalopes to attack Typhon, but he unleashed a circle of wind around himself to blow them away. Dragon tried using all of his powers on Typhon, none of them worked on him, Typhon burned him with volcanic lava. Snake increased his own size and tried to wrap around Typhon, but he used his ninety nine snakes to wrap him. Horse ran around with the wind in an attempt to trample Typhon from different places, but Typhon controlled the wind and shot him away. Sheep tried to use his water powers to wash Typhon away, but he made volcanoes erupt around him to prevent the water from reaching him. Monkey revived the dead in the form of monkeys and he led them to attack Typhon, he shot lava out of his main head and melted them, while Monkey himself was missing, he appeared on the back of Typhon's head and tried to pull him down, but Typhon simply jumped up and landed on the ground on his back, smashing Monkey in the process, and greatly injuring him, Typhon got back up. Rooster screamed purple sonic waves out of his mouth at Typhon, it did nothing to him, he tried to turn Typhon's snake heads into stone with his gaze, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa tried to help him, but Typhon smashed them with his left hand, the four were injured, but not killed. Dog fused all of his forms together into one, his fire powers did nothing to Typhon, he also tried to slash Typhon to give him wounds that would not heal, but he could not cut through his skin, so he tried biting into him with the snakes on his five necks and the two snakes he had for his tails, he bit through, but realized Typhon was immune to poison, and Dog himself felt sick, he realized Typhon's body was full of diseases and poisons. Pig tried to blind Typhon by shining gold, it did nothing to him, and his powers to give Typhon bad luck did not work, either, so Typhon got Snake off of him and threw him at Pig, the two were knocked back. Tiān lù tried making coins cut through Typhon's skin, it did nothing, Typhon used his wind powers to blow Tiān lù away. Corvo tried shooting Typhon with his pistol, it had no effect, the Count of Saint Germain tried using his pistol as well, it did nothing, Dommiel's shadow powers were ineffective against him, Giovi's fire powers and telekinesis did nothing to him, neither did the blades he had for his claws, Lazlo's Rune of Punishment was ineffective as well, so was the Rage Rune on his right hand, Talos' sword could not cut through Typhon's body, and Eric, Alucard, and the man in the red trench coat were not able to damage him. The man in the red trench coat changed to a demon and tried attacking him with his sword, it was still ineffective. Hooks and chains latch onto Typhon, but did not cut through his skin, everybody saw Pinhead, Female, Butterball, and Chatterer, Pinhead directed the hooks, "You desire to rule, there's a spot in Hell that is open to being ruled." Pinhead said, "I am not falling for desires, cenobite, I refuse to become one as well." Typhon replied, and he used his wind magic to shoot the hooks and chains back. Pinhead directed the hooks and chains around while the others continued to fight, Ash's shotgun and chainsaw did nothing, the Laestrygonians came up to help as well, but they could not get near Typhon due to him making volcanoes erupt around him. Dommiel and Tom shot beams out of their hands at Typhon, Tom's beams were yellow while Dommiel's were black, "Volvox, try calling for help from our world." Tom said, and he does, he managed to get into contact with two people, he opened portals and they came into the world, Volvox saw the Dovahkiin and the Slayer of Demons. Dovahkiin releases a thu'um to blow Typhon's wind back and the Slayer of Demons ran to Typhon to fight him, holding the Storm Ruler in his right hand, and the Adjudicator's Shield in his left hand. The Slayer of Demons holds up the Storm Ruler and charges it up, he slams it down with a slash in the sky, it hit Typhon, it stunned him a bit, but did not do much, the Slayer of Demons tried again, but Typhon moved the slash away with his wind magic. The Mane Six unlock the chest with the Rainbow Power and they float to where the fight was taking place, they saw the unicorns, alicorns, and changelings using their beams against Typhon, they were doing nothing. The Mane Six, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Star Swirl the Bearded, and Mistmane combine their magic together to unleash a big beam at Typhon. The hundred heads and two hundred eyes of Typhon all shot lava out, Volvox's six eyes and three mouths shot out orange hellfire, but there were many beams, and destroyed whatever they touched, they intercepted with some of Typhon's beams and canceled each other out, Zeus throws a lightning bolt at his chest, Typhon grunted a bit and was stunned, he looks and saw the powers of the other gods were not working. The solid objects around Typhon begin moving around and attacking him, he becomes confused and saw Discord manipulating the land, he shot a beam at Discord out of his main head and destroyed Discord, his body floated around and continued causing chaos to distract Typhon. The beam from the Rainbow Power, princesses, Shining Armor, Star Swirl the Bearded, and Mistmane was not enough to get past Typhon's lava beams when he only fused thirty of his three hundred beams and entered a deadlock with them, they were tied, so he adds thirty more and was two times stronger than them, the changelings change to the alicorns and shoot their beams into the ponies' beams, they were managing to overpower Typhon until he added ninety more to his beam, he was just a little stronger now, the gods and goddesses use the sun and moon to attack him, they shoot beams at him, Typhon adds ninety more of his beams into his to overpower them, Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom shoot beams out to make the ponies' beam stronger, Typhon adds thirty more and was at a stalemate again, Orchid shoots out ten small beams, two of each of the five elements she controls, it was not strong enough to overpower Typhon, so Harvey, Nick, and Lance shoot purple sonic beams out of the guns for their right hands, it was still not strong enough. A green blast and an orange blast were shot from behind and hit Typhon's beam, everybody looks back and saw Queen Chrysalis and Tirek, much to their surprises. Typhon adds his last thirty beams and made a huge beam, Volvox shot six more beams out, one from each eye, so did Dommiel, and Tom, their beam was now as equally as strong as Typhon's beam. The Slayer of Demons readies the Storm Ruler and slashes the sky, he hits Typhon, the Dovahkiin does a thu'um to knock him back at that time as well, he grunts and stumbles, his beams move back and was hit by the big beam of the ponies, changelings, two of the Pillars, Volvox, Dommiel, Giovi, Tom, and several of the gods, Typhon gets hit and screams as he flew back, he destroyed part of the ground, he groaned and tried to get up. Zeus threw thunderbolts at him and destroyed his snake heads, Volvox burned them off, and Alcuard destroyed the rest with his pistols, only Typhon's main head remained, the man in the red trench coat aims a black pistol at his head with his right hand, "Jackpot." the man in the red trench coat said, and shot a bullet at Typhon's main head, he screams and was completely destroyed. Volvox sighed with relief while the natives of the world cheered, so did the citizens of Volvox's land, "Good job, guys." Ares said, Volvox glares at him, "Why didn't you help?" Volvox asked, "I did, I helped Thor fight off the cavalry, so did Odin." Ares replied, "Dovahkiin, Slayer of Demons, thank you, I'll send you all back now." Volvox said, and he does. Volvox looks for a genie lamp in his home world and transfers it into the world he was in, "Would you kindly, Orchid?" Volvox asked, and Orchid rubbed the gold lamp with her left hand, a female genie came out, "I am Shantae, the genie of the lamp, and I will grant you one wish." the genie said, "Want to head home, Orchid?" Volvox asked, she looks around for a minute, "No, even if I do find my world, I'll still have to live here and take care of Nick and Lance." Orchid replied, she looks at Shantae and says "I wish for this land and people to be fixed.", Shantae looks around, "Well, that's basically two wishes, but eh, I'll do it." Shantae said, and she does, she went back into the lamp. Volvox's land and people were back to normal, Volvox sends the lamp back to his world, "Hold on a minute, why didn't ya wish Typhon to never appear in the first place?" Applejack asked, "Because Typhon, Set, Apep, Fujin, and Raijin are gods, they can't be wished away, they're immune, also, if the Four Horsemen, four beasts, Judas, Cyborea, Popobawa, Gargantua, Nuckelavee, and Abaddon were wished to never come out, those five could undo it with their powers." Volvox replied, shocking the world's natives, "Twilight, we have to come up with precautions, Typhon is the most powerful being this world has ever faced, as you saw, he was even stronger than Tirek at his full power, we have to make precautions if someone as powerful as him ever rises, and that time, these people may not be here to help us." Princess Celestia said, the other rulers of the world agreed, "How much longer are we going to be here, Tom?" Volvox asked, "One more week." Tom replied, "Okay, let's get things ready to go home." Volvox said, and everybody rested for the rest of the day. Two days go by with Volvox's land having a good relationship with the other countries, they all showed them how to learn their magic, they had to meditate where the fire, water, earth, or wind was at, they would absorb the element that was the most present. Princess Cadence, Twilight Velvet, Windy Whistles, Cloudy Quartz, Mrs. Shy, Cooke Crumbles, and Granny Smith gathered together with Orchid to ask her about her kids, she was spending more time with them, but still felt like she needed some time off. Orchid plays with Nick and Lance when Harvey was not around, Princess Cadence tried to show her how to be more engaging, she heard laughing and saw Lance and Flurry Heart playing together, while Nick played with the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Orchid decided to try to join while Princess Cadence and the mothers of the Mane Six smiled, they played with them as well. Volvox got ready to go home with his kingdom, they were ready to leave, he saw Ash with the rulers of Equestria and the Mane Six, "You still could learn some friendship, Ash." Princess Celestia said, "Between my boomstick and chainsaw, my friends are not as valuable." Ash replied, "You are not a hero, it is a title you do not deserve." Princess Luna said, "Just to let you know, from where I come from, I'm considered a goody two shoes." Ash replied, shocking the ponies and Spike, they have watched Ash get drunk, smoke, and date a different woman every day, "You're a goody two shoes?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "From where I come from, yes." Ash replied, shocking them all greatly, "I want you to think about your actions back at home, Ash, I also heard you don't pay taxes." Princess Celestia said, "You're right, I don't, so all I know is death." Ash replied, shocking the ponies, "I do not understand how women how love you." Rarity said, "Trust me, I've got my own charms." Ash replied, "There is no way I would ever fall in love with you." Princess Cadence said, "That's unusual, usually, women like me from the get go." Ash replied, shocking the Mane Six and princesses, "How?!" Rarity asked, "Cause I'm groovy." Ash replied, shocking the ponies and Spike, "Don't you ever think about the dreams you leave them?!" Princess Luna asked, "They're usually good dreams." Ash replied, "Well, you may be a hero to them, but you are not a hero to us, a true hero doesn't behave in such a way." Princess Celestia said, "Are we done here?" Ash asked, "Yes, you are dismissed." Princess Celestia replied, and Ash walked back home. Tom was seeing the others and giving their futures, "You chose your actions poorly." Tom said, "All I did was become a father." a male dwarf replied, "A burden you will grow to regret." Tom said, the dwarf left in confusion, a female wakwak flew to him, "You will die for your thievery." Tom said, "But the store said they were free." the wakwak replied, "That means you have to pay for them with your life." Tom said, the wakwak screams and flies away, a female fairy flew up to him, "You are going to fail at your task." Tom said, "I just want to find my missing children." the fairy replied, "Death awaits you." Tom said, the fairy gasps and flies away crying, "That's enough, Tom." Princess Luna said, he looks to his right and saw her with the other princesses and Mane Six, "We've been listening to you every day, just because you can see the future does not mean you can be mean about it." Twilight Sparkle said, "I am just giving the facts, if they cannot handle it, that is their problem." Tom replied, "Give us the helmet, Tom." Princess Celestia said, "The helmet stays on." Tom replied, Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, and Rarity use telekinesis to take it off, they see Tom was a human, he had an oblong face shape, short black hair, and tan skin, his eyes were still white and monochromatic, "Now, we'll show you how its done." Twilight Sparkle said, and they put the helmet on Fluttershy, it changed its shape to fit her, she saw everything that will happen in the future. Fluttershy went to the next person, it was a swan maiden, "Um, I don't know how to say this, but you're going to have an unhappy marriage." Fluttershy said, her voice echoed a little, "What do you mean?" the swan maiden asked, "He's going to be a big meanie to you." Fluttershy replied, the swan maiden was a bit shocked, she walked away while crying, a male elf went up to her next, "I'm sorry, but you will not reach your dreams." Fluttershy said, the elf became sad and walked away, a female giant walked up to her, "Oh, this is wonderful, you're going to have a lot of hardships raising a family, but you're going to come out fine and happy." Fluttershy said, the giant became happy and walked away. All of the people were gone, "See, Tom, it's better to say nice things." Fluttershy said, "I cannot say the same with how you all talk to Cozy Glow." Tom replied, his voice still echoed, "What the? You still have your powers?" Rainbow Dash asked, "As I said, I do not need the helmet to see the future." Tom replied, "Then why are you still wearing it?" Princess Celestia asked, "It increases my power." Tom replied, "We've been through this, Tom, Cozy Glow is staying in the school." Twilight Sparkle said, "Disaster awaits." Tom replied, shocking the Mane Six, Fluttershy tries to get the helmet off but could not, so the princesses and Rarity take it off of her with their telekinesis, Tom puts it back on, "I will be elsewhere." Tom said, and he floated away, the princess and Mane Six walked back home. All of Volvox's court recovered and he saw them in Equestria, he noticed Tiger and Dragon were fighting again, and Rainbow Dash and Applejack had to break them up, he sighed and shook his center head. He also saw Corvo walking around in Ponyville, he feels something strange behind him and the Outsider appeared, "Look at that, Corvo, you have once again saved another kingdom, just as you did with Dunwall." the Outsider said, Corvo was silent, "You have slain a god, and a beast, I never expected anyone to be able to best Typhon, but he did not use his powers as creatively as I hoped, maybe I would have paid him a visit if he used his powers in a more interesting way." the Outsider said, Corvo did not respond, "You still fascinate me." the Outsider said, and he disappeared, Corvo saw no one was around, and he continued walking, with his mask scaring the foals. Volvox looks around and sees everything was normal and peaceful again, he was almost done with charging up his magic to send his land back home. Night time comes and Princess Luna finds the Void, where the Outsider was at, but she could not enter, she rolled her eyes but continued on with working in the dream realm. Princess Luna noticed several humans getting attacked in their dreams, she looks and saw Freddy Krueger haunting them, she was about to confront him, but he disappeared, she became confused and saw someone activated the Lament Configuration in their dream, and summoned Pinhead to get rid of him, that person became a cenobite in the process, the transformation was too horrifying for Princess Luna to watch, she ignores it and continues on with her duties. Volvox was ready to take everyone home the next day, they all said bye to one another, "Good luck to all of you, and good luck finding Orchid's world, it was a pleasure to have you all here." Princess Celestia said, "Feeling's mutual." Volvox replied, "Yes, this was an enjoyable world." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Well, everyone, it's time to go." Volvox said, and the world's natives said bye to them and they teleported back into their world. The world's natives used the magic they learned from them for fun, the only pony who truly mastered their magic was Scootaloo, who used their wind magic to make herself fly. The world's natives took notes on their magic and try to use it, they also fused their magic with their own and created new spells they never thought was possible.
PrehistoryVolvox was created by the Maker and given the Earth to rule, he decided since it was the beginning of his reign, he would experiment around. He created dragons and land dwelling dinosaurs first, he had fun watching them grow, but he got a telepathic message from the Maker to create more animals, and some plant life and water, he did not mind, he actually liked the sound of diversity. Volvox had to create cats, dogs, rhinoceroses, elephants, bears, turtles, pigs, snakes, alligators, crocodiles, squids, sharks, lizards, sloths, birds, frogs, apes, dinosaurs to live in the water, flying dinosaurs, and bugs, he got to it, and finished after some time, he added plant life afterwards, he made the grass about four feet tall, and he made trees appear everywhere, each tree was three thousand fifty feet tall, fifty feet taller than Volvox, and thirty feet in diameter. The creatures were divided, not by what kind of creature they were, but by where they lived, there was three classes: land, air, and sea, they did not like one another, only the dragons, dinosaurs, and bugs lived all three areas, but they were divided as well, and Volvox decided that since each creature needed a ruler, it will be decided by physical strength, so each ruler ended up being male due to them being physically stronger than the females, but they still had a word in saying things if they did not like anything. The dragon king was Dommiel, he was Volvox's second-in-command and bodyguard, he was a wyvern, and the only dragon that can walk on land, fly in the sky, and breathe underwater. The sauropod king was Argentinosaurus, the theropod king was Tom, he was a spinosaurus, and the ruler of all dinosaurs, the ornithopod king was Shantungosaurus, the ceratopsia king was Eotriceratops, the pachycephalosauria king was Pachycephalosaurus, the thyreophora king was Stegosaurus, the mosasaur king was Mosasaurus, the pilosaur king was Kronosaurus, the plesiosaur king was Elasmosaurus, the ichthyosaur king was Shonisaurus, the nothosaur king was Nothosaurus, the pterosaur king was Arambourgiania, the cat king was Smilodon, the dog king was Amphicyon, the rhinoceros king was Elasmotherium, the elephant king was Anancus, the bear king was Arctodus, the turtle king was Archelon, the pig king was Entelodont, the snake king was Titanoboa, the alligator king was Deinosuchus, the crocodile king was Sarcosuchus, the squid king was Cameroceras, the shark king was Megalodon, the lizard king was Megalania, the sloth king was Megatherium, the bird king was Argentavis, the frog king was Beelzebufo, the ape king was Gigantopithecus, and the bug king was Arthropleura. Volvox was a bit nervous on how to feed the carnivores of his land, but the kings and some of their advisers had the perfect idea, they would sentence the criminals in their society to death by having them eaten by the carnivores, before that, Dommiel would burn their limbs off so they could not fight back, Volvox used his magic to remove their teeth and tails as well. The creatures did not have a culture, they all ate and drank water to survive, there was no music, no art, no fashion, the only form of entertainment they had was fighting, and the loser would get killed, and eaten by the carnivores and omnivores, each creature was only allowed to fight their own kind, since fighting a different kind could bring some unfair advantages and disadvantages to the fighters. Volvox thought his kingdom was perfect, it was mostly peaceful, even though creatures were still divided by land, sky, and sea, the creatures who fell into the sky category had to live in the trees, while no creature that flew around or walked on land was allowed into the water, they can only drink from it, Volvox made small mindless bugs and fish for the carnivores to eat, Arthropleura would sometimes send bugs out to be eaten as well, especially if they cause trouble in his kingdom. Volvox was the emperor, since the other kings answered to him, but he was not to be disturbed about anything, if they had something to say, they would go to Dommiel, and he would report it to Volvox if he thought it was worth noticing. The sky becomes filled with black clouds and they move around in a counterclockwise circle, "Volvox, you might want to see this." Dommiel said from afar, the ground burst open and Volvox came out, he walked to where Dommiel was at while the ground fixed itself. Volvox sees all of the creatures were together and looking at the same spot as Dommiel, "Make way." Volvox said as he walked forward, the other creatures move to his sides and look at the spinning clouds, "You finally showed, Volvox." a voice said in the sky, it surprised the other creatures, Volvox realized it was the Maker, it spoke with a man's voice and a woman's voice in unison, "What is it, Maker?" Volvox asked, "I have a lesson for you, Volvox, you need to learn to change your kingdom for the better." the Maker replied, "My kingdom is perfect." Volvox said, the other creatures agreed with him, "Really? I'm going to send this land to another world, full of six other kingdoms, and you're going to see what they think of your ways." the Maker replied, and the clouds spun faster, and Volvox's kingdom got sucked in, the sky changed back to normal. Volvox and all of the other creatures travel through a wormhole, they look around and see nothing, Volvox stretches his three necks out and looks forward, "Everybody, we're going to a land that seems to have magic, but it looks small." Volvox said, and he reverted his necks back to normal. The creatures look and see the land, they were going to be to the northeast of Canterlot, and to the southeast of the Crystal Empire, "Everyone, brace for impact." Volvox said, and they did as their land entered the new world. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs lived peacefully until they felt a surge of magic at where Volvox's land was going to appear, it was small, so they ignored it, until the area of Equestria where they were going to appear began moving on its own to make space for them, everybody looked on and wondered what was appearing. Volvox's land appeared and everybody was shocked by the size of the trees, "Whoa!" Rainbow Dash said, "Those trees are huge!" Sandbar said, Twilight Sparkle flew to Princess Celestia, who was on the balcony in Canterlot, "What do you think, Princess Celestia?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Those are the biggest trees I've ever seen." Princess Celestia replied, the sun was in the center, but she was nervous about the mornings when she would have to raise the sun. Princess Luna was looking as well, she was too shocked to say anything at that time. Some of the griffons, dragons, Pegasi, and hippogriffs were flying at the trees to see if anyone lived in the forest, the leaves covered the entire area, "Do you all see anything?" General Seaspray asked from afar, they all shook their heads, "There is no way a place that big can't have anyone living in there." Rainbow Dash said, "Come on, y'all, let's go explorin'." Applejack said, and she led the Young Six with her. They try to walk in and see the trees were extremely huge up close, "The trees up close actually scare me." Ocellus said, "I don't blame you, all of Equestria would get hit if one of these fell." Sandbar replied, "Look at how thick they are as well, this would probably leave a permanent hole in the land." Gallus said, "Yeah, not to mention Griffonstone and the Dragon Lands are right there, one of these falling would probably destroy the entire country." Smolder replied, "Yona believe Yakyakistan is safe from falling tree." Yona said, "I think Mount Aris is far away enough to avoid getting hit, too." Silverstream replied, "Well, if y'all ever have a fallen tree in yer country, make sure y'all help one another rebuild, alright? Let's get in there and see what we find." Applejack said, and they go in. Applejack leads them and they see extremely thick bushes, shrubs, and vines everywhere, everybody had trouble getting through, Sandbar broke through them, so did Yona, and Smolder burned them, "Help! I'm stuck!" Silverstream said, the three look back and saw her tangled in vines, unable to break through, Gallus and Ocellus were stuck as well, "A little help, guys?" Ocellus asked, and the other three try to pull them out, Applejack broke through with her physical strength and ran to them, she try to free them with her rope, but the vines fought back and pulled them back, Sandbar, Yona, and Smolder helped her, they got them out after a brief struggle and the vines returned back to normal, "Where are we?" Gallus asked, the others look around and see they could not see anything besides bushes, shrubs, vines, and trees, "Yeah, it all looks the same to me." Sandbar replied, Smolder, Ocellus, Gallus, and Silverstream fly up, past the trees. The four join the other creatures flying up there and see they can only see the leaves on the trees, "What's it like traveling in there?" Princess Ember asked, "Vines, bushes, and shrubs everywhere, every area looks the same." Smolder replied, shocking those flying around to try to see what was inside the forest, "This is a waste of time, we're not finding anything." Grampa Gruff said, "I agree, we can't find an opening anywhere." Gilda replied, "Then how are we supposed to explore? We can't see anything past the trees, and there's too many bushes and vines to enter by land." Rainbow Dash said, "Please, allow me." General Seaspray replied, and he flew down and changed to a seapony and swims through the water. General Seaspray swims in the water and tries to enter the new area, but he did not know where he was at, and the creatures who lived in the water of Volvox's land swam to the bottom of the water to hide from him. General Seaspray believes he was in Volvox's land, so he goes up to the surface, he looks and sees he was, the trees were to his left, he looks around and sees no one, he looks up to those in the sky and shakes his head, the world's natives were confused, but they all stop for the day and go back home to rest. Princess Luna tried to raise the moon but could not due to the trees blocking her view, she rolled her eyes and flew up, she raised the moon while in the sky, she sees the trees still blocked the moon, she growls a bit and moves the moon farther, making it brighter. Princess Celestia flew out and went to Princess Luna, "Luna, what are you doing?" Princess Celestia asked, "Those trees are blocking the moon, I can't rise it properly." Princess Luna replied, "Then why don't you just fly closer and raise it from there?" Princess Celestia asked, "I don't have the time for that, my nights are long and busy." Princess Luna replied, "Well, good luck, Luna, don't push yourself." Princess Celestia said, and she went back to sleep. Princess Luna enters the dream realm and works on fixing the nightmares of the ponies, she is distracted when she heard complaining, she noticed the people in the Crystal Empire were complaining about the moon being too bright, she growled and exited the dream realm. Princess Luna tries to adjust the moon so they would not complain, but they then complained it was too dark, Princess Luna growled as she tried to adjust the moon, she could not put it behind the trees of Volvox's kingdom because her magic would not reach it, "Luna, please, I think it would be best if you just put in the center of the sky." Princess Cadence said, "Yeah, I think so, too." Shining Armor said, and she did. Princess Luna went back to the dream realm and worked on the nightmares, but everybody in Equestria was complaining because the moon was very bright, and they could not sleep. Princess Luna growled angrily and flew out of the dream realm and began adjusting the moon, but whenever one area was happy, the other was not, Princess Luna got more and more irritated and had to keep adjusting for the rest of the night. Morning comes and Princess Celestia tries to raise the sun, but the trees of Volvox's land blocks it, and her magic could not reach it. Princess Celestia was a bit annoyed and she flew up to raise the sun, she did, but the trees blocked it out, Princess Celestia glared and simply raised the sun higher than usual so it will make all of the land bright. Princess Luna flew to the trees and was angry, "I DEMAND A WORD WITH YOU ALL!!" Princess Luna said with her Royal Canterlot Voice, there was no response, "DO NOT IGNORE ME!! I KNOW YOU ALL CAN HEAR ME!!" Princess Luna said, Volvox and the others did hear her, they just ignored her, but she could not see them due to the leaves and trees blocking the entire view, Princess Luna was seething with rage, she tries to remove a tree with her telekinesis, but it was way too heavy to pick up, she grunted as she tried to lift it, she stopped and panted. Princess Celestia tried and she could not lift it up either, the others decided to help, curious about what was in the forest. Volvox and the others hear them and they look, "What shall we do, emperor?" Tom asked, "Ignore them, we're a peaceful bunch, let's keep it that way." Volvox replied, "I believe it's worth checking what they're doing." Dommiel said, "I agree, we should see what they're doing." Argentavis said, "Alright, but don't get spotted." Volvox replied, "Okay, you all heard the emperor, flying bugs, go investigate." Arthropleura said, and the flying bugs fly up along with the dragons and birds, "Aren't you going, Arambourgiania?" Volvox asked, "I'm keeping the pterosaurs at bay for now, it might freak them out." Arambourgiania replied, Volvox agreed and he waited along with the others. The dragons, birds, and bugs fly up and see the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs trying to move one of the trees out, they were all struggling and grunting, "*pant* *pant* I can say for certain, one of these trees is heavier than the sun and the moon combined." Princess Celestia said, everybody was tired, they looked and watched the creatures, the unicorns and alicorns tried using telekinesis, the Pegasi and earth ponies tried pulling a tree out with rope, the dragons, griffons, and hippogriffs tried to pull it out at its roots, the changelings changed to bears, and they and the yaks were trying to pull out with rope and walking forward, "Okay, gang, I think we need another break." King Thorax said, the others agreed, "I have never thought a tree would be this hard to remove." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Yaks tired, yaks need rest." Prince Rutherford said, "How are we supposed to move these? We can't even move one." Rarity said, "Yeah, and there's hundreds of 'em." Applejack said, "My family and I are having trouble, too, Limestone and Maud are trying their best." Pinkie Pie replied, they look and saw Limestone Pie and Maud Pie trying to punch into the ground to remove the roots, "What the? The roots are as thick as the tree branches." Limestone Pie said, shocking everyone, "I am sorry, everycreature, but these are too thick for us to remove." Maud Pie said, they hear panting and saw Marble Pie was exhausted. Fluttershy arrives and a group of termites followed her, "This way, everybody, we need one of these removed." Fluttershy said, and they go onto the tree they were trying to remove, the termites try to bite through but hurt their own teeth, "Oh no, they hurt their own teeth, the termites can't bite through this." Fluttershy said, "What?! How are we supposed to remove this?!" Scootaloo asked, "Ah know, right, not even Big Mac can move one." Apple Bloom replied, they saw him trying and panting, "You alright, Big Mac?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Eeyup." Big Macintosh replied weakly, "Wait, I have an idea. Fluttershy, go get Discord." Rainbow Dash said, the others agreed, "Okay, but I can't make any promises." Fluttershy replied and she flew away, Discord came soon, "Let's see here, here goes nothing." Discord said, and he tries to use his magic on the tree they were trying to remove, his magic got deflected, "What the? The tree deflected my magic." Discord said, shocking everyone, "Wait, that means these trees are not normal." Spike said, "Yeah, that's true. Trees that deflect magic? We don't have such a thing." Starlight Glimmer replied, "Let's go home, everycreature, we'll try again another time." Princess Celestia said, and they all headed home. The dragons, birds, and bugs flew down, "They're gone now." Dommiel said, "Good, maybe now, we can be at peace." Volvox replied, "What were they trying to do?" Sarcosuchus asked, "Trying to remove one of the trees." Argentavis replied, the natives of Volvox's kingdom laugh, "I'll be underground now, if you all have anything to say, address it to Dommiel." Volvox said, and he went back under the ground. An hour passes and everycreature got on with their days, the trees still blocked out the sun, much to Princess Celestia's annoyance, the Maker noticed this and it casts its magic to make the leaves fall to the ground, the world's natives become surprised, the Maker then uses its magic to make the trees disappear into the ground, Princess Celestia smiled and let out several exclaims of relief. The trees go down completely and everybody sees the animals of Volvox's kingdom, they were shocked and surprised, "Whoa, they're huge." Twilight Sparkle said, "No kiddin', Twilight, they're even bigger than Dragon Lord Torch." Applejack replied, "I guess the Maker does want us to interact with the natives." Argentinosaurus said, the animals of Volvox's land groan and grumble, "So much for living here peacefully." Stegosaurus said, the other dinosaurs agreed. They hear flying and saw Princess Luna coming to them from the west, "I demand an apology!" Princess Luna said, they did not bother to listen to her, "Do not ignore me, because of your trees, I couldn't do my job on stopping nightmares, and the people could not sleep." Princess Luna said, they all tried to continue with their days, "I am speaking with a genuine complaint, and am a ruler of a land, and you all refuse to heed my words?! You self centered ruffians!" Princess Luna said, thunder appeared above her, Princess Luna was continuing to lose her temper, Argentinosaurus lifts his tail up and hits her out of the sky. Princess Luna screams as she falls and goes into the water, Argentinosaurus sighs as he and the others try to get on with their days. Princess Luna swims up to the surface and looked at the land, she had a scowl on her face, she flew out of the water and went back to them, "How dare you ignore royalty! I demand an apology this instant!" Princess Luna said, Tom walked to her, "Ma'am, can you please stop complaining? We are trying to get on with our days." Tom said, "You dare to refuse to listen to royalty?!" Princess Luna asked, "We're royalty, too." Tom replied, Princess Luna was surprised, "Why do you all not listen to the complaint of a princess?!" Princess Luna asked, "There you go right there, you're a princess, we're kings." Tom replied, Princess Luna was shocked, but she soon became angry. Princess Celestia flew to her touched Princess Luna's left shoulder with her front right hoof, "Sister, let's just go, we'll meet with them tomorrow." Princess Celestia said, Princess Luna calmed down and flew back with her sister, the people in Volvox's land went on with their days, everybody looked at them and saw there were several caves in the land as well, but they only saw the dinosaurs, the night was approaching and they all slept. Princess Luna raised the moon and was still angry about last night and earlier today, so she put the moon over Volvox's land and shined it brightly, the creatures there just turned around to not look at the moon, she was surprised by what she saw, she can tell they did not like it, but they did not complain, they just slept. Princess Luna ignored it and went on to the dream realm to get rid of the nightmares, she noticed the foals were having bad dreams of being eaten by the dinosaurs, she did not blame them, they were big, and looked menacing, she just zapped them away. Princess Luna does her duties while eating a grilled cheese sandwich, she finishes her duties and sighs in relief, tonight was an easy night for her, she smiles and watches the stars peacefully. The next day comes and the dinosaurs walked around while the other animals hid, Princess Celestia flew to them and landed on the ground, "I would like to meet the ruler." Princess Celestia said, and Tom, Argentinosaurus, Shantungosaurus, Eotriceratops, Pachycephalosaurus, and Stegosaurus walked to her, Princess Celestia became a bit annoyed, "I said I'd like to see the ruler." Princess Celestia said, "About that, actually, all of us are rulers." Argentinosaurus replied, Princess Celestia was surprised, "I swear I saw more animals here yesterday." Princess Celestia said, "Hey, wait a minute, where are the other rulers?" Stegosaurus asked, the others look around, "Come out, the rest of you." Tom said, and they all hear moving in the water, Elasmosaurus brought his head above the water, the world's natives were shocked by how big he was, they hear more moving and they saw Mosasaurus and Kronosaurus come up, Shonisaurus came up shortly afterwards, and Nothosaurus came up afterwards, "Is this everyone?" Princess Celestia asked, "No, one's missing." Eotriceratops replied, they hear flying and saw Arambourgiania fly to them, Princess Celestia was surprised and shocked by how big he was, he flew in one place in the sky, "Okay, now, introduce yourselves." Princess Celestia said, "I am Shantungosaurus, king of the ornithopods." Shantungosaurus replied, "My name is Stegosaurus, I am the king of the thyreophorans." Stegosaurus said, "I am Arambourgiania, the pterosaur king." Arambourgiania said, "My name is Pachycephalosaurus, king of the pachycephalosaurians." Pachycephalosaurus said, "I am Elasmosaurus, king of the plesiosaurs." Elasmosaurus said, "Mosasaurus, king of mosasaurs." Mosasaurus said, "Kronosaurus, king of pilosaurs." Kronosaurus said, "I am Eotriceratops, king of the ceratopsians." Eotriceratops said, "Shonisaurus, I am the king of the ichthyosaurs." Shonisaurus said, "Nothosaurus, king of the nothosaurs." Nothosaurus said, "My name is Argentinosaurus, I am the sauropod king." Argentinosaurus said, "Tom, king of the theropods, I'm a spinosaurus, and the supreme ruler of the dinosaurs, all of these rulers answer to me." Tom said, "You all are called dinosaurs?" Princess Celestia asked, they nod, "I see, keep in mind your land has merged with my country, so do not cause any trouble." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away. The dinosaurs get on with their days and the Mane Six try going to their country, "Guys, we got visitors." a male tyrannosaurus said, and they look at them, "What is it?" Tom asked, "We thought we could just come and say hi." Twilight Sparkle replied, "That's it? That's why you all are here?" a female velociraptor asked, "Uh, actually, I'm here to befriend all of the animals in this country." Fluttershy replied, "Then I suggest you leave, there are no animals in this land." Stegosaurus said, "Then, what about those bugs there?" Rainbow Dash asked, the other five ponies look and see the flying bugs, they were surprised by how big some of them were. The attention of the dinosaurs were caught by the wings Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy had, "What? Is something wrong?" Rarity asked, "Are those three fliers?" a male brachiosaurus asked, "Well, I have wings because I'm a princess, I didn't have any wings before then." Twilight Sparkle replied, the dinosaurs look at them disapprovingly, "What? What's wrong with that, y'all?" Applejack asked, "Walkers and fliers shouldn't be friends." Arambourgiania replied, shocking the Mane Six, "Excuse me?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "What?" Tom asked, "What do you mean they shouldn't be friends?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Don't they live in the sky?" Argentinosaurus asked, "Uh, yeah, what is wrong with that?" Rainbow Dash asked, "See, there you go, you two should only be friends with others who live in the sky, and not with those who live on land or in the sea." Tom replied, shocking the Mane Six, "Hey, but what about you guys?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Yes, we do live in all three environments, but we still mostly only interact with those who live on land, the mosasaurs, pilosaurs, ichthyosaurs, nothosaurs, and plesiosaurs only interact with those in the water, while the pterosaurs only interact with those who fly in the sky." Tom replied, shocking the Mane Six, "Where would I be?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Land, since you said you originally didn't have wings, the fliers will not welcome you." Tom replied, "Come on, y'all, let's just go." Applejack said, and they left. The creatures in Volvox's land go on with their days peacefully, the herbivores ate the plants and leaves on the ground from the trees, while the carnivores ate the bugs and fish, while the omnivores were everywhere, they were all living peacefully. Dommiel came out from under the ground, "Everyone, gather around." Dommiel said, and the dinosaurs went to him, but not just them, the dragons, birds, bugs, cats, dogs, rhinoceroses, elephants, bears, pigs, snakes, lizards, and sloths went to him. Some of the world's natives screamed in shock at how big they were, Princess Celestia flew to them, "I said to meet all of the rulers at once." Princess Celestia said sternly, "Well, you were only in this area, you have to travel out to meet the rest." Tom replied, Princess Celestia glared at them, "Fine, introduce yourselves, but I'd like to meet them all this time." Princess Celestia said, "I am Anancus, the elephant king." Anancus said, the world's natives were surprised by how big his tusks were, "My name is Argentavis, the king of birds." Argentavis said, everybody was shocked by how big the birds were, "My name is Smilodon, I am the king of cats." Smilodon said, Rarity was shocked by what the cats looked like, "I am Amphicyon, the dog king." Amphicyon said, Applejack, Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom, and Granny Smith were surprised, "My name is Elasmotherium, the rhinoceros king." Elasmotherium said, the yaks were interested in meeting the rhinoceroses, "I am Titanoboa, the king of snakes." Titanoboa said, Twilight Sparkle was extremely scared of him, "I am Entelodont, the pig king." Entelodont said, Applejack was surprised and scared of him, "My name is Megalania, king of the lizards." Megalania said, "I am Megatherium, the king of the sloths." Megatherium said, everybody was surprised by how big he was, "My name is Arctodus, I am the bear king." Arctodus said, Fluttershy was scared of him, "Hey, wait, where are the apes?" a female microraptor asked, the others look around and they hear them walking, everybody saw them come, they were surprised by how big they were, "I am Gigantopithecus, the ape king." Gigantopithecus said, Princess Celestia was surprised by how big they were, they see Arthropleura come forward, scaring the world's natives, "I am Arthropleura, the bug king, I have bugs on the land, on the sea, in the sea, they used to be in the trees, and in the sky, they answer to me." Arthropleura said, "Is that everyone?" Princess Celestia asked, "No, there's still six more." Shantungosaurus replied, "Take me to them." Princess Celestia said, she hears hopping to her right and looks, she saw frogs, Fluttershy was happy to see them, "I am Beelzebufo, the frog king." Beelzebufo said, "Alright, this way, the other five rulers live in the water." Tom said, and he takes Princess Celestia to the east. Princess Celestia walks with them and saw the alligators and crocodiles, Pinkie Pie was scared by how big they were, "Who is this?" Sarcosuchus asked, "I am the ruler of the country your land merged with." Princess Celestia replied, "Oh, well, in that case, I am Sarcosuchus, the crocodile king." Sarcosuchus said, "I am Deinosuchus, the alligator king." Deinosuchus said, a turtle comes up to the surface, Rainbow Dash was curious about it, "I am Archelon, the turtle king." Archelon said, a squid comes up, everybody was shocked by how big it was, "My name is Cameroceras, I am the squid king." Cameroceras said, a shark comes up to the surface, the hippogriffs scream in terror at how big it was, "I am Megalodon, the shark king." Megalodon said, "Is that all?" Deinosuchus asked, "Well, yes." Princess Celestia replied, "Then begone, those who walk on land and fly in the sky are not welcome into the sea." Sarcosuchus said, Princess Celestia was shocked, but she walked away with Tom. Princess Celestia walks to Dommiel, "Are there anymore rulers?" Princess Celestia asked, "Nope, they were the last ones." Dommiel replied, "Then who are you?" Princess Celestia asked, "My name is Dommiel, I am the dragon king." Dommiel replied, the dragons native to the world become surprised and fly to him, "Your world has dragons, too?" Princess Ember asked, "Plenty." Dommiel replied, "Let's see the rest." Dragon Lord Torch said, and they hear moving, they see dragons flying in the sky, they were wyverns, wingless dragons walk out of the caves, and serpentine dragons come up to the surface, out of the water, the dragons were surprised, they were a lot bigger than the dragons in the Dragon Lands, "So, you guys don't have a ruler that rules over the others?" Spike asked, "Not exactly, but I am the one they come to if they have complaints, so I guess the ruler would be me." Dommiel replied, "What the? What are you doing over there, Spike? Get back here." Twilight Sparkle said, Spike groaned and flew back to her, "So, this is the country, I am going to warn you all now to behave yourselves, if you cause trouble in my country, there will be severe consequences." Princess Celestia said, and she flew back to Canterlot, while the dragons went back to the Dragon Lands, "Alright then, as I was saying earlier, stay in the country, we will continue things as we did back at home, and if you all feel like a crime was committed, come to me, that is all." Dommiel said, and the natives of Volvox's land continue with their days. Dommiel goes under the ground and saw Volvox was laying down in the hellfire filled area, "These people look like curious ones, Volvox." Dommiel said, "I noticed, let's just continue with our ways of living, I hope it won't cause any problems." Volvox replied, "Shall we attack the other countries, emperor?" Dommiel asked, "No, we should take that white horse's words seriously, she doesn't sound like she's bluffing." Volvox replied, "Alright then, I'll keep an eye on the others." Dommiel said, "I'll watch as well, thanks for your help, Dommiel." Volvox replied, and Dommiel went back up to the surface. The next day comes and it was a peaceful day until a male velociraptor was brought before Tom by Titanoboa, "Tom, I found one of your people trying to steal the eggs of one of my females." Titanoboa said, "Why are you stealing from one of the people?" Tom asked, "It looks valuable to keep." the velociraptor said with a raspy voice, Tom glared at him, "What were you planning to do with the eggs?" Tom asked, "I thought it would be a better source of food than bugs." the velociraptor replied, "Stealing is stealing." Tom said, the velociraptor became shocked, "Wait, no." the velociraptor said, "You are guilty, carry out his sentence, carnivores." Tom said, and four of the carnivorous dinosaurs eat him alive while he screams in pain. The ponies and changelings scream in horror while Twilight Sparkle flew into their land, "What are you guys doing?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Punishing a criminal." Tom replied, "What? But you guys just ate him!" Twilight Sparkle said, "That is how our land works, every crime is punishable by death." Stegosaurus replied, the world's natives were shocked while the dragons were surprised, "Whoa." Princess Ember said with bewilderment, "How could you?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It is our way, you commit a crime in our land, you die, the type of crime committed does not matter." a female tyrannosaurus replied, Twilight Sparkle was horrified. Princess Celestia flew into the land and flew in front of Dommiel's face while flapping her wings to stay in the air, "No, I am not going to have such rules around my land, not all crimes are equal." Princess Celestia said, "Uh, this law has been enforced ever since the adults here were kids, including myself." Dommiel replied, "Well, maybe it's time for a change, I do not appreciate every crime being punished with death, I highly disapprove." Princess Celestia said, "What will happen if we don't change it?" Dommiel asked, "Yaks declare war!" Prince Rutherford replied, the other yaks were behind him and kicking dirt behind themselves with their feet, "Good luck fighting all of us." Elasmotherium said, "We will declare war as well." King Thorax said, the changelings changed to various creatures native to their world, "You would declare war on us for punishing a criminal?" Argentinosaurus asked, "I understand the need to punish criminals, but death for every crime is going too far." Princess Celestia replied, "Well, some of us need to be fed, a lot of us can only digest meat." Tom said, the other carnivores nodded, the world's natives were surprised, but Fluttershy exclaimed out of shock and became extremely scared the dinosaurs will come to her cottage and eat her animals, "What about the rest of you?" Princess Celestia asked, "Some of us can only digest plants." Gigantopithecus replied, "And the rest can digest both, meat and plants, the only drink we have here is water." Dommiel said, "I see, so you all only have basic diets, we'll be watching you guys, you are in our world, so our rules." Princess Celestia said, "So much for being completely neutral." a female giganotosaurus said, the natives of Volvox's land nodded, "Wait, neutral?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yeah, we were originally planning to be completely neutral with all territories." Tom replied, "Well, you won't, if we dislike something of your land, we will let you all know." Princess Celestia said, and she and Twilight Sparkle left, the creatures in Volvox's land exhale and sigh silently, they decide to go on with their days. The next day comes and everything was peaceful until Smilodon walked to the dinosaurs with a dead American lion on his back, he lays it down, "One of my best hunters got killed in a hunt yesterday, the bugs stung and bit him, I'm giving his body to you all as food." Smilodon said, "Thanks, Smilodon, we really appreciate the offer." Tom replied, and the carnivores who lived on the land ate the American lion. The day goes on and everyone was bored, they hear the elephants sounding off their trunks in excitement, the animals of Volvox's land goes there, Volvox came out of the ground to watch as well. The creatures saw two mastodons fighting, they were wrestling with one another while the creatures watching cheered on. The world's natives hear them and look at them, the Pegasi, dragons, griffons, changelings, and hippogriffs flew up to see what was going on, they see the fight and the dragons and griffons become excited and watch, some of the Pegasi were excited to watch as well, while the other Pegasi, changelings, and hippogriffs were shocked to see what was going on. The two mastodons fight and the creatures in Volvox's land cheer while Volvox just sits on his hind legs and watches, he smiled with his center head, the dragons and griffons cheer while they watched, they also hear cheering far away and they saw yaks on mountains and watching them, they were cheering and stomping their hooves, the creatures in Volvox's land realize they were enjoying it, they realize they had the potential to make allies. The two mastodons keep wrestling and try to attack one another with their tusks, the mastodon to the left wraps his trunk around the other mastodon and snaps its neck, the yaks, griffons, and dragons become shocked, the mastodon falls over dead while the natives in Volvox's land cheer, "Good work, you still got it after all, okay carnivores, you all can eat this one." Anancus said, and they do, Volvox walks back to where he stayed under the ground, "Wait, who is that?" Princess Ember asked, the dragons see him and watch him walk back, the ground bursts open and he goes into it, the dragons were surprised. The creatures of Volvox's land get on with their days and they see the Mane Six, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike looking at them with shock, "What were you guys thinking?!" Starlight Glimmer asked, "What? It's what we do for fun." Pachycephalosaurus replied, "For fun?! That creature just died!" Rarity said angrily, "He knew what he was in for, they volunteer willingly, and they're ready to die anytime." Tom replied, shocking the ponies, "No! Fighting to the death is not fun!" Pinkie Pie said angrily, "What's fun to you, then?" Entelodont asked, "Parties!" Pinkie Pie replied happily, the creatures in Volvox's land were confused, "Uh, what's a party?" Amphicyon asked, Pinkie Pie gasped, "You guys don't know what a party is?" Pinkie Pie asked, the creatures in Volvox's land shake their heads, "I am also noticing you all don't wear clothes, some fashion would be nice in this country." Rarity said, "Uh, fashion?" Stegosaurus asked, Rarity was bewildered, "How about air shows, like the Wonderbolts?" Rainbow Dash asked, "We fly to survive, survey, and hunt, not entertain." Argentavis replied, "Plus, we fight in the air, too, it's fun, you should try it." Arambourgiania said, "Guys, fighting to the death is not cool." Rainbow Dash replied, the creatures in Volvox's land were confused, "Uh, we don't understand how 'cool' is used in that sentence." a male quetzalcoatlus said, "What does 'cool' mean to you guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Basically, the weather or wind is a bit cold." Tom replied, "Oh, that's what it means to you guys, the word 'cool' also means awesome to us." Rainbow Dash said, "Oh." the creatures said, "Okay, we know what that means." Tom said, Rainbow Dash smiled, "You guys can also try reading for fun." Twilight Sparkle said, the creatures became confused, "Um, reading?" a male allosaurus asked, much to Twilight Sparkle's surprise, "Do you guys know what a book is?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the creatures shake their heads, "How about an animal shelter?" Fluttershy asked, the creatures shake their heads, "Just look at my cottage, it's over there." Fluttershy said as she flew up and pointed her front left hoof there, they look and see it, the carnivores become happy at seeing it, believing they have found a new eating spot, "We also grow food, y'all." Applejack said, "We have enough food here to feed us all." a female woolly mammoth replied, "Well, you guys should try some new things, come out of your country and to ours, we'd be honored to have you all." Twilight Sparkle said, and they leave, the creatures of Volvox's land had no intention of meeting the other countries, and they go on with their days just walking around, eating plants, fish, and bugs, drinking water, and tending to their young until the day ended. The next day comes and nothing happened until afternoon, several Tiktaalik came to the land, out of the water, Amphicyon growls and barks at them, he and the other dogs chase them around the surface and the seven Tiktaalik run away. The dogs chase them around the surface and three of them go into the water, Megalodon and Mosasaurus lead the sharks and mosasaurs to them and jump out of the water, they try to eat the dogs but they move back. Arambourgiania and Argentavis see the sharks and mosasaurs were high up in the air, it causes them to order the pterosaurs and birds to attack them, they attack them, which makes Elasmosaurus and Kronosaurus lead the plesiosaurs and pilosaurs to join in on the fight. The other natives in the land hear the ruckus and go over to check it out, they go to them and try to break it up, but it causes them to get attacked by the others, and every creature in the land was soon fighting, "Stop it! That's enough." Twilight Sparkle said as she, the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs broke them up, "Land dwelling scum, you have some nerve coming into our water." Megalodon said, "I can say the same about you water dwelling vermin coming onto our land." Amphicyon replied, "Not to mention, you water dwelling vermin entered our skies." Argentavis said, "And you sky dwelling garbage came to our land." Megalania replied, the creatures growled at one another, they were divided into three factions, the creatures who lived on land, the creatures who lived in the sea, and the creatures who flew in the sky, "Halt, let's find out what started it, first." Arthropleura said, "Seven of those Tiktaalik vermin came onto our land." Amphicyon replied, Sarcosuchus glared and went into the water, he comes out with seven of them, "Is this them?" Sarcosuchus asked, Amphyicyon sniffs them and nods, "Explain yourselves." Arctodus said, "We were just curious on what the land looked like." a male Tiktaalik replied, "If you're curious, then put your head up, over the surface, and look, you know better than associate yourself with land dwelling scum." Deinosuchus said, "Yeah, don't come here, stay in the water with the rest of those vermin." Tom replied, "Stay out of our skies, vermin." Argentavis said, "And stay out of our water, you sky dwelling garbage." Archelon replied, "Enough." Princess Celestia said as she walked to them, "I will not have such hatred and animosity spread throughout my land depending on where one lives, you all can learn a thing or two about accepting differences." Princess Celestia said, "We already get along with one another." Eotriceratops replied, "I mean as in all areas, you all get along, despite being different creatures, but you all dislike those who do not live in the same type of environment as yourselves." Princess Celestia said, "What's wrong with that?" Elasmotherium asked, shocking the world's natives, "What do you mean what's with that?! There's a lot of things wrong about that!" Princess Cadence replied angrily, "Like what?" Cameroceras asked, "Do we really have to spell it out?" Queen Novo asked, "Yeah, how do you guys not see the problem?" Princess Skystar asked, "I can teach you guys some things, for a few bits." Grampa Gruff said, the creatures of Volvox's land were confused about what a bit was, but ignored it, "When did this rule about the land, sea, and sky separation come into place, Dommiel?" Princess Celestia asked, "It was intact even when the adults here, including myself, were little kids." Dommiel replied, "Well, it's time you all changed that as well, you all need to learn to live together in harmony." Princess Celestia said, and she left along with the world's natives, the creatures in Volvox's land just get on with their days after reluctantly sparing the seven Taktaaliks. Volvox was in the underworld and watching his land with his magic, he was not liking the world's natives, he thought his kingdom was perfect. Dommiel entered the underworld and walked to him, "What shall I do, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "Manage the land, and I apologize in advance if you receive any harsh words from the rulers." Volvox replied, "I don't understand why they want to change it, the kingdom's perfect." Dommiel said, "I agree, and I wanted us to be neutral, but they just had to butt in." Volvox replied, "I know, right, this is our land they're in, and we have to obey their rules." Dommiel said, "They also don't seem to respect our ways, those horses can learn a thing or two." Volvox replied, "I know, right, wanting us to be friends, we're already friends with one another, and we're doing what we have to do in order to survive, plus, I don't see anyone complaining about your rule." Dommiel said, "It's that stupid Maker's fault, it thinks I need to change my kingdom, it does not listen to the thoughts and opinions of you guys." Volvox replied, "Exactly, and all of us like your rule." Dommiel said, "Well, I suppose there's nothing to do, I'm aware some of them are going to try to declare war if we don't change our ways, and one more thing, Dommiel, watch out for those shapeshifters, they might be able to disguise themselves as one of us." Volvox said, "Yeah, I know, well, back to the surface." Dommiel replied, and he goes up. Dommiel goes up and he saw General Seaspray in the country, he was flying, he flew to the water, "What are you doing here?" Deinosuchus asked, "I'm just here to ask a question." General Seaspray replied, "What is it?" Sarcosuchus asked, "Why didn't I see any of you when I first swam here?" General Seaspray asked, "We hid by going deeper into the water." Deinosuchus replied, "Okay, that's all." General Seaspray said, "Good, now leave." Deinosuchus replied, and General Seaspray flew away. A few hours pass and they hear a commotion in Ponyville, "Snakes! Snakes!" Twilight Sparkle said as she shrieked and backed away from them, the creatures in Volvox's land had an idea, "Hey, miss, you in the purple, someone has agreed with your ways." Tom said, Twilight Sparkle realized she was being called over and flew to them, "Really?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, come on, get on my tail, I'll put you in their territory." Argentinosaurus replied, "Thank you, that is really nice of you." Twilight Sparkle said, and she gets on his tail and he puts her in the territory. Twilight Sparkle walks forward and does not see anyone, Titanoboa slithers to in front of her and his snakes surround her. Twilight Sparkle became extremely scared, there was many forty two feet long snakes around her, she screams at the top of her lungs and runs away. Eqeustria hears her screaming and Princess Celestia walked onto her castle's balcony, "Twilight?" Princess Celestia asked with worry, they saw her run out of Volvox's land while screaming her lungs out, Night Light and Twilight Velvet run to her and hug her while Twilight Sparkle panted heavily with fear, "What's wrong, dear?" Twilight Velvet asked, they hear slithering and saw Titanoboa and his snakes, "Oh, that's it, you always were scared of snakes ever since you were a filly." Night Light said, Titanoboa slithers away and his snakes follow him while Twilight Sparkle was still scared, "There, there, Twilight, they're gone now." Twilight Velvet said, and Twilight Sparkle looked back, she looked and saw the creatures in Volvox's land just went on with their days, she let it go because she thought them scaring her was unintentional, even though it was, she let it go and flew back to her castle, the natives of Volvox's land snicker. A few hours pass and everybody hears grunting, they look and see the changelings were trying something, Ocellus was among them, "Come on, gang, on three, one, two, three." King Thorax said, and they try to change into the dinosaurs, but several of them scream in pain and they all change back, they pant and sweat, they realize they could not change into the dinosaurs, since they were too big, and they were too tired to stand up. The changelings get back up after twenty minutes and try to change into some of the smaller creatures in Volvox's land, they were successful, the biggest animal they could change into were the apes, they finish after sometime and go back home. The next day comes and they all go on with their days, Twilight Sparkle flew to Volvox's land, "Okay, everycreature, let's start by trying to make friends with one another." Twilight Sparkle said, "But we're already friends with one another." Gigantopithecus replied, "Well, that's wonderful, I was hoping you all could learn to bond even more." Twilight Sparkle said, "Us walkers already work together to survive." Tom replied, "The fliers already fly in packs to help one another find food." Argentavis said, "And the swimmers swim together in peace." Beelzebufo said, and the creatures who lived on land placed their heads together and smiled, so did the flying creatures, and the creatures who lived in the water. Twilight Sparkle grumbled and placed her front hooves on her face and moved them down, she then stood on all fours, "That is not what I meant!" Twilight Sparkle said in a very annoyed tone, the creatures of Volvox's land stop smiling and looked at her while confused, Twilight Sparkle calmed down, "What I mean is for you all to befriend the creatures who live in different environments from you guys, you all on land should befriend the ones who fly and swim, the flying creatures befriend those who live on land and in the sea, and the swimming creatures bond with those who fly and walk on the land." Twilight Sparkle said, "And why should we do that?" Stegosaurus asked, "Because I noticed tensions between the three are very high, having friends would help." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Ma'am, there are several flaws in your plan." Tom said, "Like what?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "First of all, all of us on land here can't fly, we can't breathe underwater, either." Tom replied, "Then you can have the fliers go swim those in the sea." Twilight Sparkle said, "We can't breathe underwater, either." a male sordes replied, "Then have the swimmers come up to land." Twilight Sparkle said, "Almost all of us cannot breathe out of the water." Sarcosuchus replied, "Ugh!" Twilight Sparkle said as she slapped her own forehead with her front left hoof, "See? Only me, Dommiel, and Arthropleura have can have our kind live in all three areas, most of them are only one, and a few of them have two." Tom said, "Wait, speaking of Dommiel, where is he?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Dommiel flies out of the water, he lands in front of her, "What is it?" Dommiel asked, "Tell the dragons to come out as well." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Guys, over here." Dommiel said loudly, the wyverns fly down, the wingless dragons walked on all fours, they came out of the caves, and the serpentine dragons came out of the water, "The rest of the creatures will be coming here to unify you guys soon, we have already labeled who's going to deal with who." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah? Good luck getting through to the swimmers." Smilodon replied, "Don't worry, we have a plan for that." Twilight Sparkle said, "Which one are you doing?" a male tyrannosaurus asked, "Land, you guys, and if possible, I'll be doing the fliers, too." Twilight Sparkle replied, "You are not welcome among our kind." a male pterodactyl said, shocking Twilight Sparkle, "What? Why not?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "You said it yourself, you got wings when you became a princess, but you didn't have them before that, therefore, you are not a true flier, and thus, not welcome among us." a female microraptor replied, Twilight Sparkle was shocked, "Why are you doing this for anyway?" Eotriceratops asked, "Because you guys are violent and aggressive to those who don't live in the same environments as you guys." Twilight Sparkle replied, "We're fine being separated." a female tyrannosaurus said, the creatures in Volvox's land agree with her, "We're not, all of that ruckus yesterday really disturbed us, we'd like for you to live in harmony like the rest of us." Twilight Sparkle replied, "That only happens every once in a while." a male dragon in the water said, "Once in a while isn't enough, we want it to never happen." Twilight Sparkle replied, the creatures in Volvox's land were surprised and realized what they wanted to do, "What do you say, Dommiel?" Tom asked, "If it prevents us from making enemies, let's try it." Dommiel replied, "Thank you, the rest will be here shortly." Twilight Sparkle said, and they wait. Ten minutes pass and the other creatures arrive, Twilight Sparkle had the unicorns, earth ponies, alicorns, and yaks go to the creatures who lived on land, they were also the biggest group, while the Pegasi, dragons, and griffons went to the creatures who flew in the sky, the hippogriffs went to the creatures in the sea, and the changelings went to all three. The world's natives learn that the creatures did not have a culture or any customs or traditions, they just did what they had to do in order to survive, "This is no fun!" Pinkie Pie said, "Ah know how ya feel, Pinkie, but they ain't civilized like us, they're like wild animals." Applejack replied, Pinkie Pie was still disappointed, "Where'd ya go, Apple Bloom?" Applejack asked as she looked around. Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle went to the sauropods, "Excuse me, mister." Apple Bloom said, and Argentinosaurus looked at them, "Can we stand on your head?" Scootaloo asked, "What the? A flier?" Argentinosaurus asked, "Yeah, but my wings are defective, I can't fly at all." Scootaloo replied, "Then you are not welcome in any of the environments." Argentinosaurus said, Scootaloo was shocked, "Wait, then what happens to that person?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Eaten alive by the carnivores." Argentinosaurus replied, Scootaloo was scared, "Well, we were bored, and wondered if we go on you for a ride." Apple Bloom said, "Get on my tail." Argentinosaurus replied, the three fillies were excited and got on, Argentinosaurus turned around and dropped the three in the water, south of their land, they screamed as they fell into the water. Rainbow Dash flew to them and got them out, she dried them as well with the leaves on the ground, Fluttershy went over to them, "Oh, that wasn't very nice of him, let's get you three dried up." Fluttershy said, and she helps, "I guess you three were lucky, at least he didn't put you guys over there." Rainbow Dash said as she looked to the east, the Cutie Mark Crusaders look and see the animals in the water, the three became scared at seeing them and decided to stay with the other ponies for the time. Ocellus and Silverstream were in the water and swam to the marine animals, more changelings and the hippogriffs were with them, "Begone, you are not welcome here." Mosasaurus said, "But we can swim in the water, too." Ocellus replied, "You are not a true swimmer, you all walk on land." Kronosaurus said, "Actually, her kind and my kind also fly in our regular forms." Silverstream replied, "Do you all live on the land or in the trees?" Shonisaurus asked, "Actually, my kind originally lived on a mountain." Silverstream replied, "And my kind lives in a cave." Ocellus said, "So you all are land dwelling scum and sky dwelling garbage, get out of our water." Megalodon said, "I find your manners to be lacking." General Seaspray said, "Well, you are in our territory." Cameroceras replied, "Go back to the surface before we eat you all as food." a male liopleurodon said, the changelings and hippogriffs become scared and go back up to the surface. The Pegasi, griffons, dragons, and changelings learn about how the birds, flying dragons, and pterosaurs live, but they just did what they had to in order to survive, everything was the same, they all did the same thing, there was no diversity on how they lived, "Why are those deer-like creatures flying with us?" Argentavis asked, "Because we can technically live anywhere." King Thorax replied, "Go back to living with your fellow land dwelling scum." Arambourgiania said, offending the changelings, the other creatures were offended as well, "Why are the rest of you getting offended?" a male flying dragon from Volvox's land asked, "Those are our friends!" Princess Ember replied, "I still don't understand why you fliers are friends with those walkers." a female bird said, "Actually, dragons usually don't do friends." Smolder replied, "You mean, no friends at all?" a female flying dragon from Volvox's land asked, the dragons native to the world nod, "Griffons usually don't do friends, either." Gallus said, "Yeah, we only be your friend if you have money." Gilda said, "Uh, what's money?" Dommiel asked, the world's natives were surprised, "You guys don't know what money is?" Spike asked, "We don't have that in our land, so no." Arambourgiania replied, the world's natives were surprised, "So, you guys don't have to buy or sell anything to make a living." Rainbow Dash said, "We don't know what that is, but no, we only need to eat, drink, and hunt to survive." a female quetzalcoatlus replied, "Well, not all of us need to hunt, some of us live by eating plants and leaves." a female microraptor said, surprising them, "Maybe you all should come to my cottage, I think you all can learn a thing or two about friendship there." Fluttershy said, the flying creatures were confused, "Think about it, guys, you might make some new friends there as well." Rainbow Dash said, and they flew away. The unicorns, alicorns, earth ponies, yaks, and changelings walk together to learn about the creatures who lived on the land, Flurry Heart stayed behind because the creatures in the land scared her. The land creatures did not have any differences in their way of living besides their diet and how they kill their prey, "Well, that's everything, there's literally nothing left to learn about us." a male triceratops said, "But this is so boring." Pinkie Pie replied, "How so?" Eotriceratops asked, "You all live the same way, there is no cultural difference between you creatures." Pinkie Pie replied, "Uh, cultural?" Entelodont asked, surprising the world's natives, "Twilight, I think this may be an underdeveloped country, I heard in the sky that these creatures don't have any currency, either." Princess Celestia said, Twilight Sparkle took note of it in her head, "What do you all do for fun?" Princess Luna asked, "We told you, fight to the death." Arctodus replied, "You guys don't play games?" Shining Armor asked, "The herbivores see who can eat the most plants in one meal, the carnivores see who can hunt and kill the most bugs and fish, and the omnivores can do either one." Megalania replied, "Yak don't see music." Prince Rutherford said, "We don't know what that is." Megatherium replied, everybody was scared of him due to his height, he was twenty feet tall when he stood on his hind legs, "Yona want know what horn animal do." Yona said, "We're the same, we work together to eat, drink, and survive." Elasmotherium replied, "Yeah, we don't really have much time for entertainment, we all work together to defend our land from those swimmers and fliers." Anancus said, "See, that's the thing, you guys need to get along with them." Princess Cadence replied, "About that, actually, we're mostly neutral with them, but we get along with the fliers better than we do with the swimmers, conflict between those who fly in the sky and those who swim in the sea is very intense." Tom said, "Well, you all need to work with that, waking up to hear you all fighting would be very unpleasant for me." Princess Celestia replied, "Well, that's everything I needed to know, we'll be going now." Twilight Sparkle said, and the world's natives leave. All of the world's natives gather together south of Volvox's land, "We couldn't get much, how about you guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "They told the changelings to get out of their skies." Gallus replied, "They forced us out of the water, too." Ocellus said, "Any information?" Princess Celestia asked, "The fliers just eat, drink, hunt, and survive." Gabby replied, "The swimmers didn't tell us anything, they told us we're not true swimmers, and we had to leave because they threatened to eat us as food." Terramar said, Silverstream grunted and groaned while moving her head around and pulling on her own ears with her talons, "This is so frustrating!" Silverstream said, "Hold on, I have an idea." Queen Novo replied, and she flew to Mount Aris. Queen Novo commands the whales to go to Volvox's land and gather information on those who swim in the water, "What do we have here?" Kronosaurus asked as he saw the whales coming, they spoke in their own language, and the creatures in Volvox's land understood them, they reported back to Queen Novo, she went back to them, "It's the same as the others, they eat, drink, hunt, and survive." Queen Novo said, "So, in other words, they have no culture." Starlight Glimmer replied, "Yeah, it seems to be that way." Sunburst said, "Got a problem with that?" Tom asked them from behind, it startled them and they look at him, "Yes, we want you all to be friends." Silverstream replied, "We are friends." Tom said, "No, have friendship spread on land and sky and sea." Silverstream replied, "It's not that simple." Tom said, "I'll admit, this is actually a lot harder than I expected." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Come on, maybe you all will learn better at my cottage." Fluttershy said, and she flew, Tom had a few theropods come with him, and they follow her, her five friends also went with her. The Mane Six take Tom and his theropods to Fluttershy's cottage, Twilight Sparkle looked up and made sure the other creatures were watching, they arrive at the cottage, and see Fluttershy's animals, they look and see she had many different types of animals, "See, I have creatures who walk, fly, and swim, and we all live together." Fluttershy said, "What is it that brings them here?" a female allosaurus asked, "Well, I take care of them and nurse them back to health." Fluttershy replied, the theropods had something else on their mind, "Hey, you guys don't seem to be listening." Pinkie Pie said, "Sorry, we gave into our instincts for a second there." Tom replied, "Honestly, y'all, y'all seem to give into yer instincts all the time." Applejack said, Fluttershy introduced her other animals, "These are my animals, plenty to see, and plenty to choose to have as a pet." Fluttershy said, "Actually, we're choosing which one to eat." Tom replied, Fluttershy became horrified while Pinkie Pie screamed with shock, the other four gathered around, "Don't you dare!" Rarity said angrily, "Seriously, guys, not cool." Rainbow Dash said, "That is our instinct, we are carnivores." Tom replied, the other theropods nod, "Well, restrain it, and don't you dare eat any of her pets, Fluttershy works long and hard to take care of them, come on now, let's go to my place." Twilight Sparkle said, and she goes to her castle with the dinosaurs following her, the other four went home, only Fluttershy was there, she was now scared. The dinosaurs see Twilight Sparkle's castle was made out of gems, they have never seen anything like it, Twilight Sparkle came out with several books, "Okay now, these are what we call books, they have many functions, keeping records, recording history, reading for fun, education, and so on, we also have picture books, I'll show you all one." Twilight Sparkle said, and she uses her telekinesis to make one float, the dinosaurs watched her horn. Twilight Sparkle opened one book and it had words in it, the dinosaurs look at it and they could not read, "Uh, what are these symbols?" Tom asked, "They're called letters." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Letter?" a female velociraptor asked, "You know, the most basic thing for a written language." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Written?" a male giganotosaurus asked, Twilight Sparkle was surprised, but she noticed how small their arms were in proportion to the rest of their bodies, so they probably could not write with them, and she can tell their teeth would break any written utensil with the slightest force, "Hey, wait a minute." a male chilesaurus said, he smells the book, "This smells like plants." the male chilesaurus said, "Well, the pages are made out of plants and leaves." Twilight Sparkle replied, "What a waste of food." a female tyrannosaurus said, the other dinosaurs agreed, Twilight Sparkle was bewildered, "Guys, plants and meat can be used for more things than just eating." Twilight Sparkle said, "Like what?" Tom asked, "Plants can be used as books as I have, they can also be used to cure sicknesses and diseases, and make potions, while meat can be used to lure dangerous animals away and set traps." Twilight Sparkle replied, the dinosaurs were surprised, but they decided they have seen enough, "Well, I guess we saw what we needed to see." Tom said, and they go back to their country. Dusk begins to approach and the clouds in the sky begin moving to Volvox's land on its own, the world's natives look on with surprise, the clouds gather into a circle and they spin counterclockwise, with a hole in the clouds that revealed the sky, "I would like to see the ruler." the Maker said, the world's natives were surprised when they heard the voice, it was a male's voice and a female's voice speaking together, Dommiel flew out of the sky and went to the Maker, "Yes?" Dommiel asked while smirking, "The supreme ruler! Not the second-in-command!" the Maker replied angrily, the world's natives become shocked, "Second-in-command?!" Princess Cadence asked, the ground in Volvox's land bursts open and Volvox comes out, the world's natives were extremely shocked, Volvox was three thousand feet tall, he was taller than every creature in the land, he was three hundred feet long, and three hundred fifty feet wide, along with having three heads. Volvox walks forward while the creatures on the land step to the sides to let him through, "What?" Volvox asked with his center head, his deep and booming voice scared the world's natives, "Are you still hiding under the ground?" the Maker asked, "Why should I interfere with how my people live?" Volvox asked, the natives of his land agree, "What about you natives, what do you all have to say about his rule?" the Maker asked, "We like his rule." Elasmosaurus replied, the other creatures agree, "Fine." the Maker said, and it makes big moose appear in the land, "Let's see if you can get a species who is not native to your land to live with the others, I'll be watching you." the Maker said, and the clouds stopped spinning around. The moose look around and see the natives of the land, "Is this the place?" a male moose asked, they look and see the animals, "Yup, this is it." a female moose replied, they look at the other creatures, "I am Volvox, the emperor of this land, I will be under the ground, watching you all, I am not to be disturbed about anything, if you have something to say or any complaints, address it to my second-in-command over there, his name is Dommiel, he and the other natives will teach you how to live in this country." Volvox said, and he began to walk back, "Really, emperor? We have to help these creatures adapt to living with us? Look at how small they are, they look weak as well, they might as well be food for us, plus, I fear their descendants are going to be small and weak creatures that will not be able to..." a male tyrannosaurus said, Volvox turned around and looked at him, "Stop your complaining, your descendant's a chicken." Volvox replied, the creatures in his land were confused while the world's natives were extremely shocked, Fluttershy looked at a chicken and at the tyrannosaurus, she was too shocked to say anything. Princess Celestia flies to Volvox while he was turning around, "Emperor Volvox, I would like a few words with you." Princess Celestia said while Volvox began to walk away, "Direct your words to Dommiel." Volvox replied as he walked away, Princess Celestia flew to in front of him, "No, I wish to speak to you directly, you will not ignore me." Princess Celestia said, Volvox stopped walking, "I was told Dommiel was the ruler, you all lied to me, I do not like being lied to." Princess Celestia said, "Well, I don't really do anything, so Dommiel is basically the one with the power." Volvox replied, "Aren't you the one who created them?" Princess Celestia asked, "Well, yes." Volvox replied, "Then you are the one with the power, I would like to know why you do not interact with your people." Princess Celestia said, "Why should I? I let them live how they want, and they like my rule." Volvox replied, "Well, my country and the others don't, you need to make a few changes." Princess Celestia said, "My citizens disagree." Volvox replied, "Then perhaps they should watch us, and change." Princess Celestia said, Volvox did not respond, he just walked past her while she watched him, the ground opens by itself and Volvox goes in, it fixed itself, she flew away and everybody watched the moose in Volvox's country. The moose met the other creatures and were introduced to the rulers, and told about the separation of the land, sky, and sea creatures, they settled down afterwards, "What is the name of your kind?" Tom asked, "Cervalces." a male moose replied, "Okay then, first off, you all need a ruler, that person will either be called King Cervalces or Queen Cervalces, who gets to rule is determined by physical strength, you all will have to fight for it, whoever is left standing at the end is the one who will rule your kind, may the physically strongest moose win." Tom said, "What?! No!" Twilight Sparkle said as she and the ponies went to their land, the dragons, griffons, and yaks thought that was a good way to determine a ruler, "That's how y'all determine who gets to rule?" Applejack asked, "Of course, we need to survive, and the ruler has to defend their own kind, so the physically strongest member of their kind becomes the ruler." Anancus replied, the ponies were shocked, "No, I will not have a ruler of a group determined in such a barbaric way, physical strength is unnecessary to rule." Princess Celestia said, "What is necessary, then?" Stegosaurus asked, "Having intelligence, along with empathy, a ruler must be kind, generous, loyal, honest, and try to bring hopes up when they are down, a ruler who lacks such things, and only has physical strength, is not fit to be a ruler." Princess Celestia replied, "You mean intelligence when it comes to hunting, right?" Pachycephalosaurus asked, "No, politics." Princess Celestia replied, the creatures in Volvox's land were confused, "We will choose the ruler for them, you all need to reconsider your rulers as well." Princess Celestia said, "Ooh, this might be fun, let's give it a try." a female moose said, "Okay, but don't come complaining to us if your ruler gets killed." Smilodon replied, the ponies glare at them, "Come on, I'll show you all around." Fluttershy said, and she led them, the creatures in Volvox's land get on with their days. The moose come back and they saw a female moose leading them, "I just got called Queen Cervalces." the female moose said, "You're... kind of small." Tom replied, "Yeah, they didn't have us fight to see who was the physically strongest, they did tests to see what our personalities were like." Queen Cervalces said, "Well, look at that. Are you all still willing to try our way?" Amphicyon asked, the moose nodded, "Alright, there are a few rules, first of all, these are fights to determine the strongest, you will be disqualified to rule if you kill your opponent, even if it's accidental, second, no fatal injuries are allowed to inflicted, third, you have to fight every single person in your group once, you cannot fight the same person twice, fourth, no hits to the head, heart, or groin, and fifth, no biting, stabbing, or scratching." Tom said, the moose nodded and they began wrestling one another, they did not use their antlers to fight. The creatures on the land watch them and the female moose lost before any male lost, the males were physically stronger than the females, just like the other creatures, the biggest male moose won, "Well, which one do you guys want?" Megatherium asked, and the moose vote, "I'll be staying the ruler." Queen Cervalces replied, "Alright then, plus, it'll probably make the other countries mad if we had the ruler be the physically strongest." Arthropleura said, the other creatures in Volvox's land agreed, "Well, you all know the rules, stay out of the water, and don't jump too high, or the creatures in the sea and sky will get you guys, follow those rules, and everything will be just fine." Dommiel said, and they live in Volvox's land. The next day comes and fighting was heard, they saw the creatures in the water and the creatures in the sky were fighting again, but it was not that loud, it stopped after a few minutes. The Mane Six decided to go to their country and bring their pets, "What the? What is this?" Argentavis asked as he looked at Owlowiscious, "He's an owl, kind of common in our country." Twilight Sparkle replied, "A flier serving a walker?" Arambourgiania asked, "No, don't look at it that way, we live together peacefully." Twilight Sparkle replied, "What is he to you?" Arambourgiania asked, "He's my pet." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Pet? He serves under you as a slave?" Argentavis asked, "No, I take care of him and feed him, while he does what he wants to do." Twilight Sparkle replied, the flying creatures were still confused. Rainbow Dash went to the water and called out for Archelon and his turtles, she showed them Tank, "This is Tank, he and I live together in peace." Rainbow Dash said, "What the? I've never seen a land dwelling turtle before." Archelon replied, "Yeah, he's kind of unique, I've never seen anymore like him, either." Rainbow Dash said, "Does he hunt and eat meat like Archelon's turtles?" Beelzebufo asked, "He eats anything, actually." Rainbow Dash replied, "Does he hunt?" Archelon asked, "Uh, no." Rainbow Dash replied, "Plus, he doesn't have flippers, he's a land dweller, thus, not welcome here." Elasmosaurus said, "I know, I just thought you guys would've liked to meet another type of turtle." Rainbow Dash replied, "Turtles who live on land do not concern me." Archelon replied, "Oh, well, I tried." Rainbow Dash said, and she flew away with Tank. Fluttershy showed all of the land animals Angel Bunny, "Everycreature, meet Angel Bunny, my main pet." Fluttershy said, "Uh, what is this?" Titanoboa asked, "He's a leporid, they're also known as bunnies and rabbits." Fluttershy replied, "Wait, did you say he's your pet?" a female velociraptor asked, "Yes, why?" Fluttershy asked, "By pet, do you mean he's your slave?" Tom asked, "Oh no, it's him who bosses me around." Fluttershy replied, "This term 'pet' is very confusing." Arctodus said, the others agreed, Fluttershy then went on to explain elaborately. Pinkie Pie went to the alligators and crocodiles to show them her pet, "Meet Gummy, my pet alligator." Pinkie Pie said, "Alligator? He looks like a midget to me." Deinosuchus said, he then laughed alongside Sarcosuchus, and the other alligators and crocodiles, "He's still a baby." Pinkie Pie replied, "A baby? Even a baby alligator or crocodile in our water can swallow him whole." Sarcosuchus said, Pinkie Pie was uneasy, "Well, he's still a baby, so, maybe he'll grow up to be big and strong like you guys." Pinkie Pie said, "I doubt it." Deinosuchus replied, "Well... I hoped you all enjoyed meeting Gummy, he and I will be going now, so bye-bye." Pinkie Pie said, and she left with Gummy, the alligators and crocodiles native to Volvox's land sigh in relief with her gone, they found her to be really annoying. Rarity took Opalescence to meet Smilodon and his cats, "Now, as you can see, this is Opal, my prized jewel, she is a bit moody, so please be careful when you approach her." Rarity said, Smilodon and his cats just look at her, "What is that on her head?" Smilodon asked, "Why, it's a ribbon." Rarity replied, Smilodon and his cats glare at her, "What?" Rarity asked, "Why?" a female homotherium asked, "Well, it's fashionable." Rarity replied, "That will get in the way of her hunts." a male saber-toothed tiger said, "Actually, it doesn't." Rarity replied, "How about hiding? The other hunters will find her easily with that." Smilodon said, "Well, we don't have hunters in our home." Rarity replied, Smilodon and his cats were surprised, "What about that thing on her neck? How does she breathe with that thing on?" Smilodon asked, "Why, it's a collar, some pet owners use it so they can remember the name of their pets, and it's not tight, our pets can breathe easily with collars." Rarity replied, "What do you guys do with them?" a female saber-toothed tiger asked, "Well, we do have pet shows, where we make them as beautiful as possible, and the most beautiful pet wins." Rarity replied, "What else?" a female homotherium asked, "They also catch pests in our homes if they invade, and do what we tell them to do, that's what pets do." Rarity replied, Smilodon and his cats glare at her, "Sounds like slavery to me." Smilodon said, his cats agreed, Rarity exclaimed with shock, "It most certainly is not, we are the caretakers of our pets, we feed them and play with them." Rarity said, "And what do they do when none of you are around?" a female dinictis asked, "Whatever they want." Rarity replied, "Oh, okay, so it's not slavery." Smilodon said, "Phew, I'm glad we cleared that misunderstanding, Opal here likes to hunt from time to time as well." Rarity replied, "All cats do." Smilodon said, "Well, I have to go now, darlings, hope we can meet again." Rarity replied, and she and Opal left. Applejack took Winona to meet the dogs, Amphicyon smelled her, "What is this?" Amphicyon asked, "This is Winona, she's part of mah family." Applejack replied, "I understand walkers befriending other walkers, but two different types being related is unheard of." a male dire wolf said, "No, y'all, long story short, she's adopted." Applejack said, "Oh." Amphicyon and his dogs said, "Now that makes sense, it is good that walkers are willing to adopt orphaned fellow walkers." Amphicyon said, Applejack smiled, "Where did you all find her?" a female aelurodon asked, "Honestly, y'all, her parents lived with mah family, they already passed, but we still consider her a part of our family." Applejack replied, "What is that around her neck?" a male borophagus asked, "That's her collar, it's so we can remember her name." Applejack replied, "Really? It looks like it's meant to strangle her to me." Amphicyon said, "It ain't, y'all, it also lets the others know who she is, her name's right there." Applejack replied, "How tight can it get?" Amphicyon asked, "It's on at its tightest right now." Applejack replied, Amphicyon and his dogs examine the collar, they see it was, "Okay, never mind." Amphicyon said, and they move back, "Well, the sun's startin' to set, we have to go home now." Applejack said, "Alright, don't get eaten." Amphicyon replied, and they leave. The Mane Six decided to see how Queen Cervalces and her moose were doing, they were getting along peacefully, and were happy, seeing a chance to finally perhaps unite the land, sky, and sea, they all head home and the night comes. The next day comes and King Thorax and the changelings change to the smaller creatures of the land and enter Volvox's land, they were planning to report to the other countries if things have changed, but while they walked around and blended in completely, the other animals smelled them and attacked them. The changelings change back and run away while screaming, the other five creatures living in the world go to them, "It's no use, they can smell us out, we can't disguise ourselves as them." King Thorax said, "So, you guys can't live among them?" Starlight Glimmer asked, the changelings shook their heads, "They can tell us apart by scent." Ocellus replied, "Wow, they must have strong senses of smell, not even we can smell odor on you guys." Sandbar said, "Well, it was worth trying, come on, let's see how those moose are doing." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she flew to them. Twilight Sparkle went to them and saw something strange, they had two rulers, "What the?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Oh, we decided to try something different." Queen Cervalces replied, "What?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Since you guys want our ruler to be the most empathetic and kind hearted, and these guys want our ruler to be the physically strongest, we decided to have two rulers, one for you guys, and one for them." King Cervalces replied, "Oh, uh... okay, this isn't what I expected." Twilight Sparkle said, "What do you have in mind today?" Queen Cervalces asked, "Actually, I was hoping to see which members of each kind were the most empathetic and caring." Twilight Sparkle replied, the other creatures in Volvox's land refused, they can tell it was going to take too long, "Uh, guys, all they did was show us different types of animals that were fine, sick, or injured, and they would see our reactions, test was short." Queen Cervalces said, "It's still going to take too long to do all of us." Tom replied, Twilight Sparkle saw Tom did have a point, "Do you moose get along with the creatures on land?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yup, we're already friends with all of them." King Cervalces replied, "Yeah, getting them adopted to the country was easy." Anancus said, the other creatures agreed, "Okay, come now, let's go to the water and see if you guys can befriend someone in the sea." Twilight Sparkle said, and she took the moose there, "What are you land dwelling scum doing here?" Sarcosuchus asked, Twilight Sparkle was offended already, but she ignored it and continued with her plans, "Go now, try to ask kindly for something." Twilight Sparkle said, "Uh, can we bathe in the water?" Queen Cervalces asked uncomfortably, "If you wish to be eaten alive." Deinosuchus replied, shocking Twilight Sparkle, "Wait, let's try someone else." Twilight Sparkle said, Megalodon came up to the surface, "You can enter if you wish, some of my sharks are hungry for your flesh." Megalodon said, "Uh, no thanks." King Cervalces replied, Megalodon snickered while he went back under the water, "Um, are there any herbivores under the water?" Queen Cervalces asked, a hammerhead creature came up, "I'm one." the hammerhead creature replied, "Go on, introduce yourselves." Twilight Sparkle said, "I'm Queen Cervalces." Queen Cervalces said, "Atopodentatus." the hammerhead creature said, "Okay, now talk about the plants you all have." Twilight Sparkle said, "I eat leaves." Queen Cervalces said, "Seaweed." Atopodentatus replied, the two look at Twilight Sparkle, "Uh, doing this doesn't feel right." Atopodentatus said, "You all are stepping out of your comfort zone, it's a normal feeling." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Why are you making us do this?" Queen Cervalces asked, "Because friendship has no boundaries, it doesn't matter what type of creature you are, what species you are, what your gender is, how old you are, what social class you come from, or what environment you live in, it's all about your personality and interests, friendship can spread on the land, in the sky, and in the sea, it is not separated like how guys are." Twilight Sparkle replied, the creatures of Volvox's land were surprised, "You do know you're still disrespecting our ways, right?" Deinosuchus asked, "That's another thing, if the three environments come together, then you all can help one another survive instead of fighting one another." Twilight Sparkle replied, the creatures thought about it, "Go on, keep trying." Twilight Sparkle said, "What do you say, Dommiel?" Tom asked, "I guess it's worth a try." Dommiel replied, "What about the emperor?" Argentinosaurus asked, "Do as you wish." Volvox replied from under the ground, the rulers of the world go to where Volvox's voice came from, "Volvox, we would like a word with you." Princess Celestia said, "Direct it to Dommiel." Volvox replied, "No, it's about your rule, your ways of making them live." Princess Luna said, "Oh, never mind, what is it?" Volvox asked, "Why do you have them separated by land, sky, and sea for?" Princess Cadence asked, "Because some can't fly, some can't swim or breathe underwater, and some can't walk on land or breathe out of the water." Volvox replied, "Didn't you make them like that?" Princess Skystar asked, "It wasn't my choice." Volvox replied, "Why did you make them the way they are?" Queen Novo asked, "The Maker told me to, it sent my kingdom here because it wanted to me to change my kingdom." Volvox replied, "Well, it did have good intentions, I mean, your kingdom is very flawed." Shining Armor said, a chord was struck inside of Volvox, but he restrained it, "Yeah, I mean, the dragons in this world have fighting for entertainment, too, but we fight until one is defeated, not to the death." Princess Ember said, "You're not going to try to fight Dommiel to rule the dragons in my land, are you?" Volvox asked, "No, we will only fight if he attacks us." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Is this why you all are here?" Volvox asked, "Yak want know why three head man make creatures separated in first place." Prince Rutherford replied, "I already said why." Volvox said, "What is the Maker?" Princess Ember asked, "A god without a physical body." Volvox replied, "Heh, no wonder why it hasn't appeared in person." Grampa Gruff said, "If you're going to continue talking about this, I literally have nothing more to say on the subject." Volvox replied, "I would appreciate it if you came out, Volvox." Princess Celestia said, "Stand back, then." Volvox replied, and they moved back, the ground bursts open and Volvox appeared, the ground fixed itself when he was out, "See anything of interest, Volvox?" Princess Luna asked, "I can see everything in my kingdom from under the ground." Volvox replied, "I noticed your country is not very developed, Volvox, we can help you if you let us." Princess Celestia said, "I'm watching the land and sea right now." Volvox replied, the other rulers look and see Queen Cervalces and Atopodentatus conversing about the plants they eat, the two smiled a bit while Twilight Sparkle smiled, "I see, it'll probably ease up tensions between the environments at best." Volvox said, "Easing up is not enough, Volvox, it needs to be gone." Princess Celestia said, and they watch Twilight Sparkle, "Okay, now that we got the sea cleared up, it's time to try one for the sky." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, tensions between land and sky is not as tense as land and sea." King Cervalces replied, "That's wonderful, this'll be easier then. Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash." Twilight Sparkle said, and the two flew, Gallus and Smolder went along as backup, "Uh, excuse me." Fluttershy said, and the flying creatures gathered around, "We were wondering if any of you would like to befriend the creatures on land." Rainbow Dash said, "We already get along with them, overall." a female microraptor replied, "No, we mean as in befriend them completely." Gallus said, "Yeah, look at us, we're friends with those who live in all three environments." Smolder said, "Well, *sigh* let's try it." Arambourgiania replied, and the female microraptor flew down, she flew to a male triceratops, "Excuse me." the microraptor said, the triceratops looked at her, "Yes?" the triceratops asked, "What do plants taste like?" the microraptor asked, "Kind of bitter, but I'm used to it." the triceratops replied, "Oh, I eat fish, they're sticky and oily, but they taste pretty good." the microraptor said, the triceratops chuckled, "I'm Zhaoianus, how about you?" the microraptor asked, "Alticornus." the triceratops replied, "Can I try a plant?" Zhaoianus asked, and Alticornus gives her one, she tastes it and spits it out, "Yuck." Zhaoianus said, "What does fish taste like?" Alticornus asked, and Zhaoianus went to go get one, she got a small one and Alticornus tried it, he spat it out, "This is terrible." Alticornus said, "Yeah, I thought the plant tasted bad, too." Zhaoianus replied, "Well, we do have different diets and digestive systems." Alticornus said, "What's yours like?" Zhaoianus asked, and they talk about their digestive systems, "Okay, now, time for sky and sea." Twilight Sparkle said, "How about you?" Fluttershy asked a male flying dragon, "I guess I'll try." the dragon replied, and it flew to the water, some of the creatures tried jumped out of the water to try to eat him, he flew back up, the unicorns and alicorns restrain them with their magic, it took several unicorns to pick up one sea creature because they were big and heavy, "Stop, this is why this needs to stop." Twilight Sparkle said, the animals in the water grumbled, "Uh, are there any hunters in there?" the dragon asked, a male sea scorpion comes up, "I'm one." the sea scorpion replied, "Well, introduce yourselves." Twilight Sparkle said, "Ventus." the dragon said, "Eurypterus." the sea scorpion said, "What kind of animals do you eat?" Ventus asked, "Anything I can catch." Eurypterus replied, "Even your own kind?" Ventus asked, "Nope, just the mindless fish and bugs." Eurypterus replied, "Wait, mindless fish and bugs?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yeah, there are fish in this country that don't have rulers, and bugs that act on instinct that Arthropleura allow us to eat, they serve as food to the carnivores and omnivores, the emperor created them so we can eat them and survive." Ventus replied, Twilight Sparkle was bewildered while Fluttershy was extremely horrified, she was nearly crying. Princess Celestia walked to them, "Instead of eating them, you all should eat those who are already deceased, and I don't mean by taking their lives, I mean as in already deceased when found, I don't think they want to lose their lives, either." Princess Celestia said, the carnivores mumble about it, "Well, what kind of meat do you eat?" Ventus asked, "Any meat I can find." Eurypterus replied, "Yeah, same here." Ventus said, "Don't you eat the animals from the water?" Eurypterus asked, "Sometimes, I usually catch the bugs in the air, and eat those who were killed in hunts." Ventus replied, "Yeah, me too." Eurypterus said, Ventus chuckled while smiling a bit, "Maybe you swimmers are not so bad after all." Ventus said, "I can say the same about you fliers, we are only separated because of where we live, and not our personalities." Eurypterus replied, "Yeah, well, nice speaking to you." Ventus said, "Alright, have a good day." Eurypterus replied, and Ventus flew away while Eurypterus went underwater. The natives of Volvox's land were surprised, and the walkers, swimmers, and fliers all began seeing one another and they befriended one another, the ponies cheered, "Yes, we did it!" Rainbow Dash said, "Time for party!" Pinkie Pie replied loudly, "Hold on, guys, give us time, we'll show you all what a ceremony and party is tomorrow, we have to put them together." Twilight Sparkle said, and the world's natives left. The next day comes and all of the creatures in Volvox's land and the natives to the world gather together, they were celebrating the fact that the creatures have united, and tensions between land, sky, and sea were completely gone. Queen Cervalces, Atopodentatus, Zhaoianus, Alticornus, Ventus, and Eurypterus were together, a ceremony was happening in front of the water so everycreature can join in, "Since you six united the three environments together, I hereby announce you six foreign heroes in our countries, you all will be remembered for uniting the land, sky, and sea in your homes." Twilight Sparkle said, the world's natives clap and cheer while Volvox and his people were bored, some were asleep, Smilodon sniffs around and smells something weird, his cats notice. Smilodon looks at a female xenosmilus, the other cats smell her, so did the natives of the Volvox's land, the world's natives watched, "What?" the female xenosmilus asked, Smilodon, Amphicyon, and Arctodus roar at her with their cats, dogs, and bears, they run to her and the xenosmilus runs away while screaming, the cats, dogs, and bears attack her, the xenosmilus changes to Queen Chrysalis, shocking the world's natives, she flew away while screaming in terror. The ponies were shocked for a moment, they knew she was plotting something, but they decided to continue with what they had planned, the party starts and the world's natives celebrated while Volvox and his people were confused, they did not know what to do, "Come on, guys, try one of the food I made." Pinkie Pie said, they look at the candy and cupcakes, they smell them and they smelled pleasant, Tom licked the icing on one cupcake and shook his head, the others licked the icing, none of them liked it, Dommiel and Volvox disliked it as well, "Too sweet." Dommiel said, the others agreed, "That sweetness comes from the love and joy of everycreature here." Pinkie Pie replied, "That's crap and you know it." Stegosaurus said, shocking Pinkie Pie, "Plus, what is that on top of them? It looks like a pile of dung." Sarcosuchus said, Pinkie Pie realized he was referring to the icing, "Come on, guys, we've got punch, too." Twilight Sparkle said, and she tried to offer them fruit punch, they smelled it, a female land dragon licked it, "What flavor is this?" a female land dragon asked, "Apple." Twilight Sparkle replied, "This is sweet apple, our apples are sour." the female land dragon said, "You don't like it?" Apple Bloom asked, the female dragon shook her head, "Come on, guys, we have dancing, too." Silverstream said, and she tried to show them, the natives of Volvox's land did not know what dance was, but they were not having fun trying it, "We have music, too." Sandbar said, and music was played, Volvox and his people did not enjoy it, they thought it was stupid because they were thinking someone playing music would give away their positions to hunters. Rarity tried to show them fashion, but they did not like it, the dragons and griffons tried fighting with the flying creatures, with Princess Ember taking on the biggest flying dragon, and Dragon Lord Torch wrestled with Dommiel, Princess Ember lost while the fight between Dommiel and Dragon Lord Torch ended in a tie. The griffons fought with the birds and pterosaurs, most of them ended in ties, and the yaks fought the rhinoceroses, with the rhinoceroses winning most of the fights, "It's getting dark, we have to sleep." Volvox said, the world's natives realize it was, and they decided to end the party and everyone went home. Morning comes and the clouds spun counterclockwise in Volvox's land again, "We need to talk, Volvox." the Maker said, Volvox came out and walked to it, his people were already awake, so were the world's natives, "Well, what do you have to say after meeting other kingdoms?" the Maker asked, Volvox looked at his people and they smiled at him, the world's natives were waiting for his answer as well, he looked up at the Maker, "My kingdom is perfect." Volvox replied with a smile, his people laugh, so did the dragons, griffons, and yaks, the changelings were bewildered, the hippogriffs were confused, and the ponies were shocked, "That's exactly what you said before I sent you here, apparently, you didn't learn your lesson." the Maker said, "What lesson?" Volvox asked, his people snicker, so did the moose. Princess Celestia flew to in front of him, "There is no such thing as a perfect kingdom, Volvox, look at mine for example, people like my rule, but I still have problems in it." Princess Celestia said, "Well, Volvox, it looks like I have to send you to another area." the Maker said, "My kingdom was perfect then, and it's perfect now." Volvox replied, "What do you moose say?" the Maker asked, they agreed with him, the Maker saw the creatures were not divided by land, sky, or sea anymore, "Oh, you guys did change, maybe you did learn something after all, Volvox, very well, I'll send you all back, I'll let you know when it's time to change." the Maker said, and Princess Celestia flew back. The world's natives say bye to them while Volvox and his creatures ignored them, the Maker transferred them out of the world and Equestria shifted back to normal. The world's natives were happy they were able to unite the three environments. Volvox and his land were returned to their home, and Volvox made the trees reappear, "Go see Dommiel if you all have anything to say." Volvox said, and he went back to the underworld, he watched his people, he knew they would go extinct eventually, and it would be time for new creatures to roam the Earth, Volvox waited patiently for that day to come.
PrimitiveVolvox watched the Earth develop after he created his own kingdom, he had dragons and dinosaurs, they developed their own society, the dinosaurs were the regular citizens in his society, while the dragons were the aristocrats, while in the military, the dinosaurs were enlisted, while the dragons were officers, Volvox watched for any signs of a dinosaur trying to rebel out of jealousy, but it has not happened yet. Volvox had three rulers in his kingdom, he was the emperor since he was their creator and one of a kind to his own species, his second-in-command was a dragon named Dommiel, he was the society's king, and his third-in-command was a spinosaurus named Tom, he was the prince. Volvox would not interfere unless Dommiel and Tom called him, whenever the dinosaurs and dragons had something to say, they would go to Tom, and if he could not do anything, Dommiel would intervene. The three lived in pyramids, Tom lived in the pyramid to the right, it was the smallest pyramid, Dommiel lived in the pyramid to the left, it was bigger than Tom's pyramid, but smaller than Volvox's pyramid, and Volvox lived in the pyramid in the center, it was huge, and he did not come out unless he had to. The Maker contacted Volvox, the dragons, and the dinosaurs telepathically, it told them it was going to create a fourth species to have a society: humans, and they were created. Volvox and the others were shocked by how small they were, so they had them put out of their society so they do not end up stepping on them by accident, Volvox informed the humans what they were doing telepathically, the humans understood and appreciated it. Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom step out of their society and watch the humans, they see the humans were curious about everything, they were playing with the dirt, some ate them, some ate the grass, some thought the nearby water stream was some kind of food, and they thought the sky was another land they could live on. The humans see they can make pictures in the dirt with their fingers, they began jumping up and down in excitement, "Apparently, these humans are not so smart." Tom said, "Yeah, no kidding, they take stupidity to a whole new level." Volvox replied, "Well, an ice age is coming up, let's see if they're smart enough to survive." Dommiel said, they notice the men and women were making noises of shock and excitement when they see the different bodies of the opposite gender, Volvox sighed, "They're fully grown adults, and they're acting like they were born this morning." Volvox said, "Well, I guess we should head back." Tom replied, the others agreed and Volvox put telepathic messages in their heads, they were about his kingdom, all of the dinosaurs in his kingdom were theropods, and only the dragons flew, he also told them that the first of January is his birthday, and he is to receive a gift every year, and celebrating the birthdays of the others were optional. Volvox made caves appear for the humans so they can have somewhere to go for the ice age, he also made fur as clothes appear on them, the humans were excited, every man and woman wore a long-sleeve shirt and pants, Volvox also made calf-length boots for them, also made out of fur, the humans began to experiment with what was around them, everything fascinated them. Volvox made a big gray rock appear around his society, there was no way in, he informed the humans telepathically it was to protect themselves from getting hurt, even though it was not, he did not wish to have humans in his society because they could get stepped on. A week passes and the ice age came, the humans were jumping up and down in excitement in the snow, some caught the snow in their mouths, and others took their boots off to walk barefoot, but they screamed in pain and shock and put the boots back on, Volvox, the dragons, and the dinosaurs shook their heads over how ignorant the humans were. A day passes and the humans stayed in the caves, "Okay, they're quick learners, hopefully, they can learn quick enough so their stupidity doesn't kill them." Volvox said, the others agreed, they all sense something strange realize they were being teleported by an outside force. Volvox uses his magic to find out where it was coming from, he realized it was coming from a place full of ponies, an earth pony was doing an experiment, it was going to transfer them to their land, "Everyone, brace for impact." Volvox said, and they did, they were teleported out of their world shortly afterwards. Doctor Whooves and Roseluck were doing an experiment, Derpy was there to help them, "Do you need anything else, Doctor?" Derpy asked, "No, it's fine." Doctor Whooves replied, "So, what is this device supposed to do?" Roseluck asked, "As you know, I have been to many different worlds, I'm hoping this device can transfer their worlds here so I can reunite with some old friends." Doctor Whooves replied, Roseluck and Derpy smiled. Doctor Whooves sees something appearing just east of Canterlot, the mountains and train tracks were destroyed in that area. The area appears and Volvox's land appeared, the blizzard and snow covered everything, "Great wickering stallions!" Doctor Whooves said, "Do you recognize that place?" Roseluck asked, "Actually, no." Doctor Whooves replied, and they looked at the area. Princess Celestia walked onto the balcony of her palace and looked at the place, she felt the cold in the area, it was freezing, "Oh, I'm going to need a jacket or two to go there." Princess Celestia said, everypony was freezing cold from the new area, "Whoo, that is one mighty blizzard." Applejack said, "Yeah, I sure hope no one's there." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Me too, even the weather factory can't make blizzards that strong." Rainbow Dash said, "I hope it ends soon, it will ruin all of the fashion there if they have people." Rarity said, "Forget about the fashion, think about the animals." Fluttershy replied, "Wait, where's Pinkie?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Pinkie Pie hopped into the blizzard and looked around, "Hello? Is anyone here?" Pinkie Pie asked, the humans heard her and were scared, they hid in the caves, Pinkie Pie navigates around easily, even though the blizzard obscured her vision. Pinkie Pie hops around and sees several caves, "Ooh, caves, I love exploring." Pinkie Pie said, and she tried to hop into one, but it felt very cold, "Brrr, never mind, I'm going to need my winter clothes." Pinkie Pie said, and she hopped away, much to the relief of the humans. The ponies, dragons native to the world, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs look at the new area, they were wondering what was behind the snow, "Let's go, yak explore." Prince Rutherford said, and they go, Yona went along. The yaks walk forward and see the caves, they enter and see the humans, they became extremely scared, "Relax, yaks come in peace." Prince Rutherford said, the humans did not understand them, "Me Yona, what your names?" Yona asked, the humans did not understand her, "Do people understand us?" a male yak asked, the humans were confused and scared, "Let go, people not speak." Prince Rutherford said, and the yaks leave. The yaks go back to the world's natives, "Well? What's in there?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "People live in caves, people scared of yaks." Prince Rutherford replied, "Oh no, we have to help them, they won't survive in a blizzard that strong." Fluttershy said, "Actually, people safe in caves." Yona replied, "But they still can't come out, oh, I can't imagine how hard it is for them." Ocellus said, "I think we should clear the skies for them." Sandbar replied, the ponies agreed, "I agree, I want to meet these people, too." Twilight Sparkle said, and the Pegasi began flying around with clouds to absorb the falling snow, but the blizzard did not let up, so the Pegasi flew around and took the clouds to the weather factory to take the snow out, spilling some of the snow in Equestria in the process. Volvox, the dragons native to his society, and the dinosaurs watch them through a magic screen, "Look at that, lucky them, the natives in this world can control the weather." Volvox said, "Yeah, they probably would've died eventually." Dommiel replied, "True, they don't have any food or water in there, the only thing to eat is one another." Tom said, "Well, the Maker did create them at a bad time, I don't know why it chose now, though." Volvox replied, "Who knows, maybe the Maker has other plans." Dommiel said, "Well, we'll see." Tom replied, and they continue watching the humans. The ponies clear the skies while enduring the cold, all of the snow was gone, "Whoo-hoo!" Pinkie Pie said loudly as she ran and jumped onto the snow, but screamed when she fell into it, becoming buried up to her neck, she tries to get out but was stuck, "Help!" Pinkie Pie said, Twilight Sparkle and Rarity use their telekinesis to take her out, "It's still freezing." Rainbow Dash said, "Yeah, Ah'm gonna need a heavier coat." Applejack replied, "Let's go back, darlings, I shall prepare us a more fashionable winter attire, along with being able to endure this cold." Rarity said, and they go to Carousel Boutique. Rarity sews some outfits together while Sweetie Belle helped her get the supplies, "Do you need anything else?" Sweetie Belle asked, "No, Sweetie Belle, that is all, thank you, darling." Rarity replied, and Sweetie Belle stood by to see the new outfits. The Mane Six put on their new winter outfits, they were all covered from head to hoof with goggles over their eyes', "Wow, you all look nice, I want one." Sweetie Belle said, "After we get back, Sweetie Belle, we have a place to explore first." Rarity replied, Sweetie Belle nodded excitedly, "Come on, let's go." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go to Volvox's territory. The Mane Six walk through the snow and see a cave, even though their new winter attires were heavy, they were still cold, "Oh my, even this isn't warm enough, I'm going to have to create an even heavier one." Rarity said with her voice muffled, "Or we can have Princess Celestia heat up the place with the sun." Applejack replied with a muffled voice, "I agree with Applejack, I think that would be the better solution." Twilight Sparkle said with a muffled voice, "Me too, I can't imagine those poor animals living here, they probably never felt the warmth of the sun." Fluttershy replied with a muffled voice, "I don't see a cave anywhere, how about you guys?" Rainbow Dash asked with a muffled voice, "I remember where it is, follow me." Pinkie Pie replied with a muffled voice, and they do. The humans stay in the cave and hear walking, they were scared, they became even more scared when they saw shadows, "Wait, I hear them, they're this way." Twilight Sparkle said in a muffled voice, and she leads them to where she hears the humans, she casted a light with her horn to light up the dark cave. The Mane Six walk and see the humans, they became scared, they six ponies take their masks off and reveal their faces, "Hiya!" Pinkie Pie said happily as she ran to them, the humans were still scared, "Wait, Pinkie, I think your loud voice is scaring them, please, allow me." Fluttershy said, and she goes to them and says "Hello, my name is Fluttershy, I'd like to take you all to my cottage, you all must be hungry and cold here, I have plenty of food and water for you all." the humans were still scared and backed away, "Oh goodness, they're scared of even me." Fluttershy said, "Maybe they're not animals." Twilight Sparkle replied, "That would make sense, it looks like they're wearin' fur like clothin'." Applejack said, Rarity looks at their clothes and realized what she was saying, "I understand the need to be practical, but this fur is ugly, I especially don't like that brown color." Rarity said, "So, uh, what should we do?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I don't think there is anything we can do, come on, let's head back." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they left after putting their masks and goggles back on, the humans were very confused, but they found Fluttershy's voice to be very soothing. The Mane Six go back to Carousel Boutique, "How was it there?" Sweetie Belle asked, "The people there are scared of us, too." Applejack replied, "You guys, too?" Sweetie Belle asked, the six mares nod, "Well, can I have my winter wear now, Rarity?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Oh right, I did promise to make you one, in a minute, darling, I have to get things set up first." Rarity replied, and she walked past her while Sweetie Belle smiled with excitement. Rarity prepares to make the outfit for Sweetie Belle until she hears the door, she looks and saw Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, "Howdy, can we have one, too?" Apple Bloom asked, "Hold on a minute, Apple Bloom, that place is a lot colder than an average winter." Applejack replied, "How cold is it?" Scootaloo asked, "Really cold, even this heavy clothing is not enough to keep us warm." Rainbow Dash replied, surprising the Cutie Mark Crusaders, "Well, we should keep them just in case we go back, I agree we should make these three one as well." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yay!" Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle said together, "Hold on a minute, darlings, I have to get the supplies ready." Rarity said, and she got ready to sew outfits for them. Volvox watched the humans outside the rock around his society with a magic screen, they were gathering around to stay warm, "Well, at least they some shred of intelligence." Volvox said, and he continues watching them, he sighs with boredom while he watches the humans, the dragons and dinosaurs hear him and wonder about the humans outside. Volvox's attention was caught when he saw the sun suddenly get stronger. Princess Celestia was using her magic to make the sun stronger, the ponies in Canterlot were getting cold, the snow was coming into their country, she was curious about the humans living there, and she was worried about their safeties. Everycreature watches as Princess Celestia melts the snow, she was excited to meet the humans, the snow was completely melted and everybody sees the green grass on the ground, but everycreature's attention was to the north of the caves, there was a big gray rock there, it went up into the sky, everybody was curious about it. The humans notice the sun outside and were confused, the men and women step out and look around, they see the grass and plants everywhere, they were surprised, the humans get on their knees' and look at the grass, they smell it, and then they try eating it, much to the surprise of the world's natives. The ponies walk to them to try to greet the humans again, the princesses went this time as well, "Hello ther..." Princess Cadence said, the humans become scared and back away from the ponies, "Hey, it's okay, we're here to say hi." Princess Cadence said, Flurry Heart got onto the ground and held her front left hoof out in hopes of shaking hands with one of the humans, she smiled as well, the humans backed away from her in fear, much to Flurry Heart's bewilderment, "Come on now, shake her hoof, she means no harm." Shining Armor said, the humans were still scared, "You think it could be because they're new here?" Sandbar asked, the other ponies thought about it, "What are your names?" Cheerilee asked, the humans were confused and looked at one another, "I don't think they have names." Maud Pie said, "Ooh, this is so much fun, they have unlimited possibilities!" Pinkie Pie replied happily, the ponies agreed, "Twilight, I'm getting the feeling these creatures were born just recently, and don't know anything, it's up to us to teach them." Princess Celestia said, "Really? This is amazing, I can teach them friendship right from the start." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Don't put them in school just yet, Twilight, they seem incapable of communication right now, I doubt they can read as well." Princess Celestia said, "I can teach them, I can have Spike and Starlight help, too." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, good luck, Twilight, I'll be watching from my castle." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away, the ponies try to introduce themselves, but the humans were scared of them, they saw the dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs as well, they were scared them as well, the ponies leave and decide to try another time. The next day comes and Twilight Sparkle, Spike, and Starlight Glimmer go to the humans, the humans become scared and back away from them, "It's okay, guys, we're here to help." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans still backed away in fear, "Hey, guys, watch this." Spike said, and he breathed fire out of his mouth, the humans were confused, they pointed at it and looked at one another, they did not know what fire was, "Uh, okay, let's try this." Starlight Glimmer said, and she uses her horn to cast telekinesis, the humans were still confused, they felt their own foreheads and did not feel horns, they did not know how she made things float, the humans tried to do the same but could not. Starlight Glimmer shows them a book, the humans look at it and saw it fall, the humans were curious, they smelled the book. A male human opens the book with his left hand and everybody saw the paper, it had written words on it, the humans look at it but could not read it, they smell it, feel it, and then the same male human licks the page, much to Twilight Sparkle's bewilderment. The human tells the humans non-verbally about the taste of the page, the other humans lick it, they liked it, so the humans rip out the pages and begin eating them, Twilight Sparkle's eyes flew out of their sockets at what she was seeing, she ran to them, "Guys, no, that's not for eating." Twilight Sparkle said as she took the book away from them, she turns to a page and begins to read, "When the rats were moving the house, Jenner cut the ropes and made the cylinder block fall onto Nicodemus and kill him, meanwhile, Mrs. Brisby escaped from her cage after hearing that NIMH was..." Twilight Sparkle said, "Uh, Twilight, I don't think they understand you." Starlight Glimmer said, Twilight Sparkle looks at them and saw the humans were confused by what she was saying, "Okay, do you have any ideas?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Starlight Glimmer could not think of one, "Sorry, but no." Starlight Glimmer said, "Plus, they don't have wings, they can't fly." Spike replied, "That's true, I wonder if there's a way to get them off of the ground." Twilight Sparkle said, "I hope so, come on, I don't think there's anything we can do." Starlight Glimmer replied, "I agree, let's have another one of our friends try." Twilight Sparkle said, and the three left. The humans continue examining the area they live in and were curious and confused, they see a body of water close by, the humans go to it and look at it closely, a female human tries to touch it with her right hand, but her hand goes into the water. The human takes her hand out and looks at it with shock, the humans make grunting sounds while seeing the woman's hand was wet, the woman tries to rub the water off with the grass, but could not, she tries and eventually tries her own outfit and got the water off, much to her relief. An hour passes and Rainbow Dash flew to them, the humans look at her with surprise, "Okay, since you guys are new and don't know anything, I'm going to teach you guys how to be cool. As a Wonderbolt, I am the definition of cool, and I will show you guys how to be cool, too." Rainbow Dash said, the humans were confused. Rainbow Dash flies up and does a sonic rainboom, it scared the humans and they ran into the cave. Rainbow Dash saw became surprised and wondered if it was too loud for them, the humans come out slowly and see Rainbow Dash was still there, she smiled while they looked at her, the humans wondered why she was smiling, she just stood there, the humans were confused, but they slowly went out to her, she smiled as one touched her, she placed her front left hoof on the back of the man's neck, he felt something inside, and it felt good, "Watch this, guys." Rainbow Dash said, and she flew around and did aerial stunts, the humans were in awe, they jump and flap their arms around, but fall, they look and see Rainbow Dash's wings were on her sides, they get on all fours and look at their sides, and realize they did not have wings, they become sad and get back up on their feet, they watch Rainbow Dash and long to fly like her, she finishes and goes down, "Now, that was an act of coolness." Rainbow Dash said, the humans were still sad, Rainbow Dash noticed their facial expressions, "Oh, uh, I'll stop here, see you guys later." Rainbow Dash said, and she flew away, the humans became more sad at seeing her fly, the humans did not do anything for the time. Pinkie Pie dashes to the humans while carrying a cart of party materials, "Turn those frowns upside-down." Pinkie Pie said happily, the humans were confused, "I brought party food!" Pinkie Pie said, and she shows them fruits, cupcakes, cakes, ice cream, chips, dipping sauce, juice, and soda. The humans look at the fruits, one male human's attention was caught, he picks it up with his left hand, it was a banana, he lets out several grunts and the other humans look at it, the males look at the banana with shock and then at their groins, they let out several grunts of horror, they back away while grunting in fear and covering their groins with their hands. Pinkie Pie was bewildered, she did not know how to react, "Come on, guys, it's a banana, meant for eating." Pinkie Pie said, and she pinches the bottom of the banana skin and peels it down, "See?" Pinkie Pie asked, the men come back and another man grabbed it, he grunted while showing the others, he places the banana stem on his groin with the bottom facing up, "What? No, no..." Pinkie Pie said before she let out a scream of shock when the man put the banana on his groin. Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, the dragons, and the dinosaurs watch through a magical screen in their society, they were laughing at the man who had the banana against his groin. The dragons in the Dragon Lands laugh as they watch, Pinkie Pie saw Garble, Princess Ember, and Dragon Lord Torch laughing, along others. Pinkie Pie shows them that the banana was meant to be eaten, she shown them how, the humans realize what to do, and they tried eating the food she brought, the humans enjoyed it, but they did not know what to do with the dipping sauce, Pinkie Pie dipped a chip in it and let them try it, she also showed them how to drink, the humans enjoyed her, Pinkie Pie shook their hands and left. The humans have fun and continue looking at the plants, they smell them and wonder what to do, a man picks one out of the ground and tries to put it back in the ground, but could not, much to his amazement, their abdomens felt uncomfortable, they realized they had to use the bathroom, so they defecate on the grass, the humans pull their pants' back up and their butts become itchy and uncomfortable. Rarity comes over with some of her clothes, she has just designed them for the humans, "Over here, darlings, you all certainly cannot wear those brown fur outfits, they are just so hideous, come over here, and wear clothes that have lighter and richer color in them." Rarity said, and the humans go over, they feel the outfits and they were soft, the outfits were made of fur and silk. The humans take the outfits and pull their pants' down again, "Now then, go and..." Rarity said, she screamed out of shock when she saw the humans were wiping their butts with her clothes, Rarity fainted at the sight, the humans finish and give it back to her, the foul stench woke Rarity up, she looks at her outfits and was horrified, "This is the worst possible thing to ever happen! The... worst... possible... thing!" Rarity said, Applejack went to her, "Rarity, I think they only did it on instinct, I mean, they don't seem to have anythin' to wipe their behinds with." Applejack said, "But still, this is the worst... possible... thing!" Rarity replied, Applejack sighed, "Try again, Rarity, and show them how to put clothes on, maybe they'll do it next time." Applejack said, Rarity sighed and left. Applejack walked forward and had seeds with her, "Watch this, y'all, this is how we grow food." Applejack said, and she plants a few seeds, she walks away and comes back while pushing a watering can forward with her snout, "Go on, pick it up." Applejack said, a man tries to copy her and pushes it back with his nose, Applejack laughs a bit, "No, like this." Applejack said, and she holds the handle with her front left hoof and picks it up, she puts it down afterwards, "Go on, give it a try." Applejack said, and one man held the handle with his left hand and picked up the watering can, he makes several noises of surprises and he shows the other humans, they make noises of surprise as well, "Keep waterin' every other day, y'all, and it should grow into a nice plant of corn after a while." Applejack said, and she watched them as the humans took turns using the watering can, there was enough water to use it again after the last person watered the ground. Rarity comes back with new clothes, they were made from the same material, "Okay, let's try this again, and do it properly, this better be worth it." Rarity said to herself, and she lets out a whistle, the humans go to her, she teachers them how to put clothes on, the humans become surprised and try it, they did not know what to think about her clothing, but they got hot and began to sweat. Rarity chuckled, "You all forgot to take your old outfits off, these are not meant to be worn with another pair of clothing under them." Rarity said, and she helped the humans take their clothes off and put her outfits back on, the humans were much more comfortable, they did just wore the lavish outfits, the humans saw them as just clothing, no different from their old outfits. Rarity smiled and was happy, "Applejack was right, this was worth it, I'll be back with more, darlings." Rarity said, and she left. The humans continue getting on with their days until they heard animals, they look and saw Fluttershy coming over, "Come meet the other animals, everybody." Fluttershy said, but the humans were scared of them, especially of the big animals, "Don't be scared, they're all very friendly." Fluttershy said, and she orders the animals to go to them, they cuddle with the humans, the men and women were surprised, they did not know what to do, "Pet them, like this." Fluttershy said, and she showed them how, the humans pet the animals, they become happy and rub their heads against them, the humans tried the same thing, which made Fluttershy smile a bit, the animals enjoyed the humans, they were enamored by the flying bugs, they thought they were beautiful. The humans play with the pets until the sun began to set, "I have to go now, everyone, till next time." Fluttershy said, and she and the animals left, the humans felt tired and went to sleep. The next day comes and the humans stretch and yawn, they look at the rock and get on their knees', they begin moving their upper bodies up and hit the ground with their hands as they went back down, the creatures look at them with a confused look. King Thorax leads his changelings to go see them, "Uh, guys?" King Thorax asked, the humans look and see him, Ocellus, and the changelings, "What are you guys doing?" King Thorax asked, the humans become curious and walk towards the changelings, they look at them with surprise, they feel the changelings with curiosity. A male changeling gets an idea and he changes into a human, much to the surprise of the humans, they try to change but could not, they became sad, "Oh no, they're sad again." Ocellus said, "They can't change like how we can." King Thorax replied, "What do we do, then?" a female changeling asked, "Don't change, it upsets them that they can't." King Thorax replied, and they do, they just greet the humans and try to play with them, they also see the changelings can fly, which also made them sad, so did their ability to shoot beams out of their horns, the humans were starting to wonder what unique powers they had. The griffons came over shortly afterwards, "You guys are the new ones, we can teach ya a few things, for a few bits." Grampa Gruff said, the humans were confused, "Do... you... guys... speak?" Gallus asked, the humans were confused, and did not understand them, "I'll take that as a no." Gallus said, the humans were sad at seeing them fly, but they also see they had beaks, they felt their own mouths and realized they did not have beaks, "What a bunch of idiots." Gilda said, the other griffons agreed, the humans also tried to walk on all fours like them, it hurt their backs, so they stand up, "Ah, this is hopeless, let's just go." Grampa Gruff said, and the griffons flew away. An hour passes and the dragons walk to them, "Look at these dweebs, they look weak." Garble said, the other dragons snicker, and he punches one, the man tries to fight back but Garble was too strong physically, he began attacking the humans and they felt physical pain for the first time, they began to cry a bit, "Stupid little crybabies." Garble said in a mockful tone, he continued to physically attack them until Volvox intervened and threw him out of the country with his telekinesis, Garble screamed as he landed head-first into the ground in the Dragon Lands. Dragon Lord Torch arrives to the humans and the humans were surprised, they look at Dragon Lord Torch and then at the big rock in their land, "What? There's more of me in that rock?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, the other dragons were confused as well, "What are you guys doing?" Princess Ember asked, the humans continued bowing and paying their respects to Dragon Lord Torch, "Let's just go." Dragon Lord Torch said, the other dragons agreed and left in confusion, "Well, that was weird, they're actually worshiping us." Smolder said, "Yeah, I wonder why." Spike replied, and they left the humans. About fifteen minutes pass and the hippogriffs come over, "Wow, this is so exciting, I finally get to meet the people." Silverstream said, "I'm excited, too, let's see them." Princess Skystar replied, and they land and walk to them, the humans see they had wings as well, which saddened them, "Watch this, guys." Terramar said, and his necklaces changes him to a seapony, the humans were sad again, since they remember they cannot transform. Terramar swims around in the water, the humans decide to try and enter the water, they realize they can swim, but went back up when they eyes and noses felt uncomfortable, they inhale and exhale deeply. The hippogriffs watch them and wonder what to do, "I believe we should try to see if they have magic." General Seaspray said, "If they have any, it doesn't look like they do." Sky Beak replied, "Yeah, I agree, I don't think they have any magic." Ocean Flow said, "Well, too bad for them, I guess they'll just have to live with it." Queen Novo replied, and they try to teach the humans a few things, one of them was playing trumpets, the humans realize they can, much to their happiness, "Oh, we found something." Silverstream said, and she leads the humans to Canterlot, "Look, stairs!" Silverstream said, the humans look at it and feel it, the ponies watch them with surprise, they go back and the hippogriffs leave, the humans were happy to find something they can do. The yaks went back shortly afterwards and the humans were still scared of them, "It's okay, yak come in peace." Prince Rutherford said, "Yona have something to show people." Yona said, and begins stomping on wood to break it, the humans try but were not strong enough, the yaks decide to show the humans how to braid hair, the humans try but have trouble, they got the hang of it after a few tries, the humans undid their braids afterwards, "Maybe people not comfortable with braid." Yona said, "Give people time, braided hair take time to get used to." Prince Rutherford said, the yaks let the humans get on their backs and run around, the humans were scared instead of excited, so the yaks let them down, the humans were still a bit scared by how big they were, "Maybe we should come back another time." Prince Rutherford said, the yaks agreed and they left. The humans had mixed feelings about the world's natives, their appearances scared them, their magic and flying abilities made them sad that they do not have it as well, they were also sad to not have the yak's strengths, while they worshiped Dragon Lord Torch, the humans go into the caves and sleep while the sun set. Princess Luna enters the dream realm and checks the humans, "Let's see here, what kind of dreams do you people have?" Princess Luna asked, and she sees it, she sees the humans were not dreaming of anything, "Wow, I thought they would have an actual dream, I guess they're still too young." Princess Luna said, and she works in the dream realm while she watches the humans in case one does dream, they did not, she finishes her duties and the sun began to rise. Everycreature visits the human the next day and they share their culture and customs with the humans, they watered the plants like how Applejack taught them, the world's natives were especially confused on why they bowed and paid their respects to Dragon Lord Torch, "Uh, why do you guys worship him for?" Sugar Belle asked, the humans did not answer, "There has to be a reason, I doubt they'd just worship him at random." Cheerilee said, she looks and saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders playing with the humans, the humans saw Scootaloo could not fly, even though she had wings, they wondered why, and watched her, "It's no use, guys, I can't fly." Scootaloo said, the humans then went back to worshiping Dragon Lord Torch, the other rulers stepped in front of them, "Don't forget about us." Twilight Sparkle said, but they only continued to worship Dragon Lord Torch, "I don't understand, why are they bowing to Dragon Lord Torch?" Princess Cadence asked, "Maybe because I am the biggest ruler." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Well, they should bow to me, I'm the current dragon lord." Princess Ember said, "I wonder about that, too, I wonder if that big rock over there has something in it." Princess Celestia replied, "I doubt it, if there's anything, it's probably bugs living under it." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, come on, Twilight, you did see you want to teach them how to read." Starlight Glimmer said, and they show the humans the books again, Twilight Sparkle and the others teach the humans how to read and write, Spike was the main one on teaching them how to write, the other creatures got them to make sounds with their mouths as a start to make them learn how to speak. Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom watch them through a magic screen along with the dragons and dinosaurs in Volvox's society, "I guess they do learn quickly." Tom said, "I wouldn't be sure on that, learning a new language and how to read takes time." Dommiel replied, "Agreed, let's see how long it takes them." Volvox said, "Now that I think about it, it's almost your birthday, emperor." Tom said, "Yeah, I hope those humans give me a good gift." Volvox replied, "What do you want, emperor?" Dommiel asked, "Personally, some kind of sword or other bladed weapon." Volvox replied, "Well, you can always tell them how to make them." Tom said, "Let them figure out on their own, I have received telepathic orders from the Maker not to interfere with their development." Volvox replied, "Well, sucks for them, we'll just have to wait for them to develop, however long that takes." Dommiel said, "Probably forever, let's just get on with our days, watching them is boring." Tom replied, the others agreed and Volvox makes the magic screen go down and the dinosaurs and dragons in Volvox's society get on with their days while Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom go back into their pyramids. The world's natives continue teaching the humans how to speak, read, and write, they had trouble, "Twilight, they look tired, you should let them take a break." Princess Celestia said, "Okay, everyone, break time, go on and rest." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans did not know what to do, so Twilight Sparkle showed them what she meant, the humans realized what it was, they were happy and laid down on the grass, much to the shocks of the natives, "No, darlings, we sleep in beds." Rarity said, and she used her magic to make small ones appear, the other creatures put them in the beds, they felt comfortable, "See, darlings, that's more comfortable now, isn't it?" Rarity asked, and the humans quickly fell asleep, the world's natives laugh and leave them be, the humans slept through the night, much to the world's natives surprises. Three days pass and it was Volvox's birthday, he taught the humans telepathically because he, Dommiel, Tom, the dinosaurs, and dragons in his society were getting bored of watching them learn, and wanted to speed things up a bit. It was afternoon and Pinkie Pie brought cupcakes, the humans take the cupcakes to the big rock, it opens up a bit and Volvox took it in with his telekinesis and closed the space. The humans stood back and watched with great anticipation, but the plate with the cupcakes flies out of the top of the rock, it fixed itself while the plate and cupcakes fell onto the ground, much to the humans' shocks, the world's natives look at them when they heard the loud noise, "I do not like this gift." Volvox said from inside the big rock that covered his entire society, his loud and booming voice shocked the world's natives. Princess Celestia shoots a beam from her horn at the rock to blow it apart, they came apart and the world's natives saw Volvox's society, with a big black wall that was big enough to hide the dinosaurs and dragons, along with black double doors at the front, and three dark gold pyramids that looked like El Castillo. The humans go to the walls and double doors and they get on their knees' and begin moving up and down while their hands hit the ground, the world's natives look at them while Princess Celestia flies to the walls and goes over them to look, she saw the dinosaurs and dragons in there, "Excuse me." Princess Celestia said, the dinosaurs and dragons look at her, "Who's in charge here?" Princess Celestia asked, the dragons and dinosaurs look at the three pyramids, Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom did not come out, Princess Celestia was skeptical, she flew to the pyramids and looked at them, "Come out, I wish to have a few words with you all." Princess Celestia said, the humans grunted and made noises of worry outside, Princess Celestia turned around and shook their heads at her while scared, so she flew to them, the other creatures went to them, "Is something bad in those pyramids?" Silverstream asked, the humans shook their heads frantically, "Is there someone we will anger?" Ocellus asked, the humans nodded, "Is it the princess?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the humans shook their head, the women pointed to the men, "A male?" Smolder asked, the humans nodded, "So we will anger the prince?" Gallus asked, the humans shook their heads and tried to use their hands to tell them the person is a higher rank, "A king?" Sandbar asked, the humans shook their heads and did the same sign language to tell them the person's rank is even higher than king, "Uh, what comes after king?" Yona asked, "Yak not know." Prince Rutherford replied, "Is it an emperor?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the humans nod, shocking the humans, "Father, look." Princess Ember said, and Dragon Lord Torch sees the dragons in Volvox's society, "No wonder why they worship you, they've got dragons of their own." Princess Ember said, the humans see Dragon Lord Torch and start worshiping him again, "Heh, it seems I have some new allies." Dragon Lord Torch said, "They're allies with all of us, Torch." Princess Celestia replied, the humans continue bowing to Dragon Lord Torch, the other rulers stood by Dragon Lord Torch so the humans would bow to them as well, the humans stop and the world's natives keep teaching them until they went back to their native countries. The humans built a catapult out of sticks that Twilight Sparkle and Doctor Whooves taught them how to build, they put a rock on it and set the plants and vines off, the rock was shot into Volvox's society, much to their fears, the rock hits Volvox's pyramid. The pyramid to the humans' right makes a loud sound, the top bursts open and Tom climbs out of it, the world's natives see him and were shocked by how big he was. Tom jumps down and begins walking to the double doors. The double doors open and Tom walks out with other theropods around him, the humans begin bowing to him, "That's enough, get up on your feet, guys." Tom said, the world's natives look at him with surprise, "Which one of you shot the rock?" Tom asked, the humans look at one another, he looks and sees the catapult, "So all of you shot it?" Tom asked, the humans did not respond, "Just respond to me, guys, if you don't, the other two will get involved, and they deliver harsher punishments than I do." Tom said, the humans responsible step forward, "Alright then, naturally, you guys' punishment is fix the pyramid, get it done, and don't cause any more havoc, come on now." Tom said, and the humans follow the dinosaurs into the kingdom and the double doors. The men and women who damaged Volvox's pyramid work while the dinosaurs and dragons in Volvox's society gave them the supplies, the humans just had to put it in place and use glue to make it stick, the humans finish and it was almost dark, they go out through the double doors and back to the humans, it was dark, so they went to sleep. Four days pass and the humans were developing reading and speaking skills quickly due to Volvox telling them how to do it telepathically, he was bored watching them learn, the world's natives were surprised as well, "Wow, I'm surprised you all learned quickly." Twilight Sparkle said, "We have sources." a man replied, the men feel their faces and had something on them, "You all have hair on your faces." a woman said, Rarity chuckles, "It's alright, dears, it's normal, my father can teach you all how to shave." Rarity said, "Alright, like this." Hondo Flanks said, and he shows them how to shave and groom with a safety razor, the men decide to shave off all of their facial hair since it was itchy and uncomfortable, the men then felt irritation on their skins, Hondo Flanks takes them to the water and has the men wash their faces in it, their faces felt comfortable, "See, that's all there is to it." Hondo Flanks said, and the humans keep learning about the culture and customs of the other creatures, the humans begin to fuse the world's cultures and customs into one to form their own culture and customs. The humans continue watching the world's natives and felt sad, they did not have magic like the unicorns, alicorns, or changelings, they could not fly like the Pegasi, dragons, griffons, changelings, or hippogriffs, they could not walk on clouds like the Pegasi, they did not have the strength of the earth ponies, dragons, or yaks, could not breathe fire like the dragons, could not transform like the changelings and hippogriffs, and could not breathe underwater like the hippogriffs, the humans were sad. The humans go to the wall around Volvox's society and they pray, Tom comes out of his pyramid and jumps down, the doors open and Tom walks out with dinosaurs behind him, "What is it now?" Tom asked, "We too, want special powers." a woman replied, "Guys, we don't have powers, either." Tom said, "But you all have higher physical capabilities." a man replied, "That comes with our species, we don't have any powers, neither do the dragons." Tom said, "Please, Prince Tom, we'd like to have your strength." a woman replied, "Uh, it doesn't work that way, guys, I can't enchant." Tom said, "What about the king?" a man asked, the pyramid to the left bursts open at the top and Dommiel came out, the world's natives were surprised to see him, he was about the same height as Dragon Lord Torch, but much more slender, and had horns the protruded from the top of his head instead of the sides. Dommiel flies out while his dragons were behind him, "I cannot enchant, either." Dommiel said, "But you can fly, King Dommiel." a woman replied, "It's a species trait, we don't have powers, either." Dommiel said, "You guys cannot breathe fire?" a man asked, "That's also a species trait, not a power." Dommiel replied, the humans were surprised, while they were sad they did not have anything when compared to the other creatures, they were relieved to know they were not the only ones without powers. Orange auras appear around the humans as they float, they were surprised, "Here, have some of my powers, but don't go overboard with it." Volvox said from within his pyramid, Princess Celestia recognized his voice and flew to his pyramid, "Excuse me, I would like for you to show yourself." Princess Celestia said, "I have no reason to come out right now." Volvox replied, "Yes, you do, we need to talk, one of my citizens made that gift you threw out the other day." Princess Celestia said, "So?" Volvox asked, "I would like for you to apologize to her, it took her a lot of time and work to make that." Princess Celestia replied, "I'll do it when I have the time, I'm a bit busy right now." Volvox said, "Doing what?" Princess Celestia asked, "Trying to contact the god who made those people there." Volvox replied, "Oh, I see, just make sure you apologize to my citizen." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away. Volvox has been trying to get in contact with the Maker so he can ask why it made the humans have no powers and physically weaker than the others, he has had no luck so far. The humans decide to try Volvox's powers, a man lifts his right hand up and fire came out of the ground, it was orange, the humans were surprised, another man holds his left hand out and shot fire out, a woman felt something powerful in her and she held her arms up, the humans watch and a fifteen foot tall black skeleton appears with fire around him and between his bones. The humans become surprised and another man makes black skulls with orange fire on it float in midair, the ponies become shocked at this and Princess Celestia obliterates the flaming skeletons with fire from the sun, "What is this power?" a man asked, "The power to control the flames of Hell, itself, it is called hellfire." Volvox replied, the humans were excited. Princess Ember flew to them, "Let's see how strong it really is." Princess Ember said, and she breathed fire out, a human shot hellfire out of his left hand, it remained at a stalemate with Princess Ember's fire, "Wow, that's actually pretty strong." Princess Ember said, and she flew away while happy. The humans continue playing around with the hellfire until the clouds above them spun in a counterclockwise formation and took their powers away, "Volvox, you idiot, what did you do?" the Maker asked with a male voice and a female voice in unison, surprising the world's natives, the three pyramids burst open and Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom came out, the world's natives were extremely shocked at Volvox's size, "I told you telepathically not to intervene with their development." the Maker said, "Well, they did beg." Volvox replied, "Beg or not, you are not to interfere with them unless they need a tool or something to survive." the Maker said, "What about the rest of these guys?" Volvox asked, "What?" the Maker asked, it sees the world's natives, "Who brought them here?" the Maker asked, "I did." Doctor Whooves replied as he walked to them, "Wait, what are you doing here, you're not in your proper time." the Maker said, "Please, Maker, it was an accident." Doctor Whooves replied, "I don't care, you messed up their development." the Maker said, "I'm working on an experiment to send them back." Doctor Whooves replied, "You better, or I'll kill you, myself." the Maker said, "Excuse me." Princess Celestia said as she flew to the Maker, "I do not appreciate you threatening one of my subjects." Princess Celestia said, "Your title as ruler means nothing to me." the Maker replied, the ponies were shocked, "The humans are not happy with being weaker than the others, Maker." Tom said, "I made them like that on purpose." the Maker replied, "Why?" Dommiel asked, "By being weaker and having no powers or magic, they will use nature and technology to develop and be on equal terms with the others." the Maker replied, "How about the fact you made them stupid?" Volvox asked, "That was so they could develop their own ways of living by adapting to their surroundings." the Maker replied, "Then you can at least make some animals for them to hunt, they look hungry from just the plants and confectioneries around here." Tom said, Fluttershy became extremely horrified at hearing the humans eating animals, "That's because these stupid natives here messed up their development." the Maker replied, the world's natives were offended, "You made the humans stupid as well." Dommiel said, "It was so they can learn by experience and develop." the Maker replied, "What if that experience ends up killing them?" Volvox asked, "Then those who survive can learn from that dead person." the Maker replied, "Why did you make them so dumb in the first place?" Tom asked, "Experiment, to see if physically weak and stupid can survive in the harsh world." the Maker replied, "And if they all die?" Dommiel asked, "Then I create a new species, with different abilities and levels of intelligence." the Maker replied, the world's natives were angry with him, "What?" the Maker asked, "I understand the need to research and study, but research involving someone dying is not okay." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Watch your tongue, my power is to be feared." the Maker said, "That does not give you the right to treat others disrespectfully." Princess Celestia replied, "When you have the powers I have, you don't need to treat anyone with respect." the Maker said, Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, their dinosaurs, their dragons, and the world's natives were getting angry with the Maker, "Uh, Maker?" a male human asked, "Be silent, you idiot, you humans have no say in this." the Maker replied, the world's natives were getting angry with the Maker, "What do you plan to do with them?" Volvox asked, "Just watch them develop." the Maker replied, "Then begone, and let the humans develop, or I will raise my society and all of Hell against you." Volvox said, "Very well." the Maker replied, and the clouds stopped spinning. The humans try to use Volvox's powers but see they were gone, much to their dismay, "We'll be in our pyramids, talk to Tom if you all have any problems." Volvox said to the humans and they go back in, Princess Celestia flew back to her palace and went on with her day. The next day comes and the world's natives try to establish relationships with Volvox, "Volvox, if possible, I would like for my country to have a good relationship with yours." Princess Celestia said, "Well, I'm not sure about this, my people wish to stay neutral with all countries." Volvox replied, "I noticed, and I understand the desire to be neutral, but I would still like for our countries to have peaceful relationships so we do not go to war with one another." Princess Celestia said, "What do you humans say?" Volvox asked, they nod, "Alright, I'll let us be friends." Volvox said, "Thank you, Volvox, it really makes my subjects relieved as well." Princess Celestia replied, "Well, if the humans are going to try have a peaceful relationship with anyone, it'll be that big dragon first." Volvox said, "I noticed that, too, but Torch isn't Dragon Lord anymore, they'll have to speak to Ember instead." Princess Celestia replied, the humans were confused, "That's me, guys." Princess Ember said as she flew to them, the humans recognized her and pointed to her as they nodded to one another, much to Princess Ember's confusion, "Uh, what are you guys doing?" Princess Ember asked, the humans mumble to one another, "Well, I won't be doing much, nothing really happens in my society." Volvox said, "I know, but I'll let you know if I need you for something." Princess Celestia replied, and she flew away, Volvox went back into his pyramid. The humans had a good relationship with every country, even though their relationship with Griffonstone was a bit strained, while Volvox's society only interacted with Equestria and the Dragon Lands, they were neutral with the other countries. Twilight Sparkle watched the humans develop, "Why don't those guys let you all into their walls?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Because they can't see us at certain views, we're out here so they don't end up stepping on us by mistake." a man replied, "Oh, that's nice of them, but maybe you guys can ask them to give you guys rides on their backs." Twilight Sparkle said, "No." the dinosaurs and dragons in Volvox's society replied, "What? Why not?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's uncomfortable." a female dragon replied, "Yeah, and it makes it harder for us to move." a male tyrannosaurus said, "Why didn't you guys let them in during the blizzard?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Same reason, they didn't want to step on us and kill us by mistake." a woman replied, Twilight Sparkle realized Volvox and his people did have good intentions, but she saw signs of it doing more harm than good, "I see, well, let's continue studying." Twilight Sparkle said, and she continued teaching the humans how to read, the humans experienced joy while learning. The humans begin to form their own culture and were beginning to read, they also began building, they made beds out of leaves, and began using rocks to make weapons to protect themselves. The Maker was not liking how the humans were developing, so it made a baby appear, the humans look at it, and hold it out to Volvox's society. Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom come out of their pyramids and jump down, Volvox shook the ground. The double doors open and the three walk out, "What?" Volvox asked, the humans show them the baby, "Uh, that's nothing special, guys." Dommiel said, "What?" a male human asked with confusion, "It's just a baby." Tom replied, Pinkie Pie dashed to stand beside the humans' lefts and gasped, "Just a baby? Just a baby?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "Uh, yeah, there's hundreds of babies." Dommiel replied, "No! All babies are special!" Pinkie Pie said, the three look at one another and shrug, "Uh, what do we do?" a female human asked, "You have to take care of the baby." Volvox replied, the humans look at one another, "How do we do that?" a male human asked, Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom grumble while Volvox shook his three heads, Dommiel slapped his own face with his right hand, and Tom looked at them with shock, "This species is doomed." Dommiel said, "You can say that again." Volvox replied, "Well, maybe if you guys taught them, they wouldn't be." Twilight Sparkle said from close by, "Since the baby was created by the Maker, all of you are parents." Volvox said, the men and women look at one another, "How do we take care of the baby?" a male human asked, "The females have to breastfeed it." Dommiel replied, the women become surprised, and took their shirts off to breastfeed the baby, "Only one is required, ladies, so take turns." Tom said, and they do, "They're lucky we got transferred here." Volvox said, "Yeah, I didn't think they'd be this stupid." Tom replied, "Ahem." Princess Celestia said, the three look and saw her flying to them, she flew in front of them and flapped her wings while she stayed in the air, "They are not stupid, they are naive and ignorant, being stupid would mean they would act like that, despite knowing better." Princess Celestia said, "That's still called stupid in our world." Tom replied, "Well, learn your proper vocabulary, calling someone such is very offensive." Princess Celestia said, and she flew back to her palace. The humans take care of the baby while Pinkie Pie hosts a party and sings for the baby, it had fun, "Oh right, ma'am, I'm sorry I threw your gift out the other day." Volvox said, "It's okay, I can always try again next year." Pinkie Pie replied, Volvox saw that as unlikely, he believed his people will be back home way before his birthday comes again, "Aw." three female voices said, Pinkie Pie saw Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle walking over, they were wearing the winter outfit Rarity made for them, "Why are you three wearing that for?" Pinkie Pie asked, "We thought we'd give it a try." Scootaloo replied with her voice muffled, the humans look at it and thought it looked hot and uncomfortable, "This is actually a bit warm." Apple Bloom said with her voice muffled, "Yeah, it's not hot at all." Sweetie Belle said with her voice muffled, "Oh, Rarity, it looks like her taste for fashion has led her to designing an impractical outfit, again." Pinkie Pie replied, the Cutie Mark Crusaders agreed and they went to see the baby, they took their outfits off and the baby looked at them and tried to reach out to them, the three just walked forward and let the baby touch them, it was happy. The rest of the Mane Six come over and the Young Six came over shortly afterwards, they look at the baby with awe, "It's so cute." Silverstream said as she looked at it, and they admired the baby. Three days pass with nothing in particular happening, the clouds above spin counterclockwise, "Where is that horse at?" the Maker asked, "Which one?" Volvox asked, "That stupid doctor that brought you guys here." the Maker replied, Doctor Whooves walked to them, "What is it?" Doctor Whooves asked, "Are you done creating your device to send my people back home?" the Maker asked, "Can't you do it, yourself?" Doctor Whooves asked, "You brought them here, you send them back, that is your punishment for bringing them here and making these people interfere with their development." the Maker replied, "When do you want to go back?" Doctor Whooves asked, "At least by tomorrow." the Maker replied, "Alright, I'm working on it, I'm almost done." Doctor Whooves said, "Good, now get to it." the Maker replied, and Doctor Whooves left. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs teach them a few things, the humans find a book on how to make makeshift wings from sticks and leaves, they work all day and night to make it. The next day comes and a male human tests out the wings, he was flying, but very low, the humans made more and began flying around a bit, Twilight Sparkle was very surprised by what she saw and she trotted to them, "Wow, I can't believe you guys built something so quickly." Twilight Sparkle said as the humans glided, they were almost touching the ground, the Pegasi and Silverstream went over and pulled them up to have them fly higher, they see the baby was tightly strapped to one woman, the baby giggled happily. Doctor Whooves trotted to the humans, "Okay, the device is done, I can send you all back home." Doctor Whooves said, and the ponies and Silverstream got behind him. Doctor Whooves activates the device and the world's natives say bye to them while the humans waved, the device activates and they were sent back, "Hey, the guys in the wall didn't say goodbye." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, it's too late now." Starlight Glimmer replied, and they all just looked at where they used to be, wondering how they will be back at home. Volvox and his society, along with the humans, arrive back home, the Maker makes the ice age start again while Volvox makes the rock appear around his kingdom, the humans did not develop as the Maker planned, but it went on with it anyway, they developed a lot faster than the Maker anticipated, and they were at the top of the food chain as soon as the other fauna were created, Volvox watched them develop and smiled, he stayed in his society and helped out however he could. The humans wait for the ice age to end and they see the corn was starting to grow, they were happy and soon grew more, and they eventually found out how to make babies, and take care of them, the humans grew until they controlled all of the planet.
AncientVolvox was created at the start of time by the Maker and he became very powerful, the gods were created next, and then the angels and demons, then the monsters, next were the plants and animals, and lastly, the humans were created. The humans were not as powerful as the other creatures, but were more adaptable and resourceful, the humans proved to be formidable, and created their own society. Volvox eventually formed an alliance with the humans, and he lived with them, along eight more powerful beings, so pyramids were created for the deities to stay in and the humans would worship them on their birthdays. Volvox had the biggest pyramid, it was in the center, the pyramid to his right was used to worship Typhon, the pyramid to Volvox's left had Vishnu in it, the pyramid to Typhon's right had Zeus, the pyramid to Zeus' right had Odin, and the pyramid to Odin's right had Huitzilopochtli, the pyramid to Vishnu's left had Amun, the pyramid to Amun's left had Lucifer, and the pyramid to Lucifer's left had Bishamonten. Volvox and Typhon had people with them in their pyramids, Volvox had Dommiel, a demon who acted as his personal bodyguard, and his two pet birds, Phoenix and Thunderbird, Typhon had his children, they were Cerberus, Orthrus, the Nemean Lion, the Hydra, Chimera, Sphinx, the Colchian Dragon, Ladon, and the Caucasian Eagle. The humans had a king, his name was Tom, he was believed to be a child of Zeus and Hera, and thus, a god, which caused a conflict in the society to rise with a man named Jesus, who was believed to be the Son in the Trinity, he and Tom did not get along. The humans lived in a city, on an island, there were two more islands, one to the northeast, and one to the southeast, the northeastern monsters was filled with monsters, they would attack any human who tried to enter the island, while the southeastern island had humans of dark skin, the humans in Volvox's kingdom are originally from there, the humans in Volvox's society went to that island to get slaves and bring them back. The humans on Volvox's island were also known to have gender roles, the men worked, built homes, trained in the military, voted for the government, owned homes and land, and the father of the families had the saying in everything, they also protected their families, while the women cooked, cleaned, danced, played music, and had to be loyal to their husbands, they were all expected to have sons, one advantage to the gender roles was if a family was attacked, only the men got attacked, women were spared, Volvox and the other eight did not come up with slavery and the gender roles, it was created by the humans. Volvox and the other gods watched the humans develop, they were interested in it, they wondered if the humans will remain like this all the time. Amun sensed something off, "What is it, Amun?" Odin asked, "I'm sensing a demon in the southeastern island, it feels like it's going to rise up against us." Amun replied, "I won't be surprised, we did kill Humbaba recently." Zeus said, "Yeah, it's probably his brother." Dommiel replied, "Let it go for now, we've got more slaves coming in." Volvox said, "Shall I prepare the soldiers?" Bishamonten asked, "Let's wait and see how things go." Vishnu replied, the others agreed, "My children are standing by to attack as well." Typhon said, "I'll rally my gods if necessary." Huitzilopochtli said, "The demons will rally if I command it, we should be fine." Lucifer replied, "Let's watch for now, the slave ships should be coming in soon." Volvox said, and they watch. The men wait for the slave ships to come with slaves to take, the dark skinned people get off while in chains and shackles, Tom examined the slaves, "Ah, good, some of them will be good fighters for the games." Tom said, "Just you wait." a male slave said, "Wait for what?" Tom asked, "You all have angered the king of demons, he will rise against you soon." the male slave replied, "It won't help you, get going now." Tom said, and the slave walked past him, the other dark skinned slaves followed him. The slaves were divided by gender, the male slaves would have to do manual labor, while the female slaves will have to cook, clean the house, and dance to entertain the men, the slaves longed to be free. The southwestern wind begins blowing rapidly and everybody became scared, "Is it Fujin?" Dommiel asked, "No, it must be Humbaba's brother." Volvox replied, and the wind blows so hard, it opens a portal and the three islands get sucked in. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs were getting on with their days, but the wind blows hard to the east of Griffonstone and the Dragon Lands, it stops and Volvox's island appeared, so did the other two islands, Volvox's island was in the water, to the southeast of Griffonstone, and northeast of the Dragon Lands. The dragons and griffons look at the place, Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff become shocked, "Wait, no, no, that better not be the place I think it is." Dragon Lord Torch said, "What's wrong, father?" Princess Ember asked, "Before the dragons came to this world, we were on an island with other creatures, the island southwest to that island was ruled by this giant Cerberus-like creature named Volvox, he and I didn't get along well." Dragon Lord Torch replied, Princess Ember looked on with concern; "Wait, that place looks familiar." Grampa Gruff said, "You know it, Grampa Gruff?" Gabby asked, "I think I do, before the griffons came to this world, we were on an island with other creatures, there were two more islands, one to the south of that island, and another one to the southwest, the island to the southwest was ruled by a creature named Volvox, he's like Cerberus, but bigger, and his body is three different things, his right head and right half of his body are gray and skeletal, his left head and left half of his body are literally made out of black shadows with his claws and eyes being red, and his center head, spine, and tail are pink and parasitic-like, with yellow organic bladed seven pointed stars on his spine, and a yellow organic tip on his tail, he controls the flames of Hell itself, stronger than regular fire." Grampa Gruff replied, shocking Gabby, "So, we're not natives to this world?" Gilda asked, "No, but we're not the only foreigners here, the dragons are also from that island, we didn't get along with Volvox, so when we came to this world, we erased all documents of us coming from another world, it was to forget that time of our history, since it was not a good time for us." Grampa Gruff replied, Gabby and Gilda were surprised, they all look and watch the three islands. Volvox, Typhon, Vishnu, Zeus, Amun, Odin, Lucifer, Huitzilopochtli, Bishamonten, Dommiel, Tom, Jesus, Cerberus, Orthrus, the Nemean Lion, the Hydra, Chimera, Sphinx, the Colchian Dragon, Ladon, the Caucasian Eagle, the citizens, the slaves, and the other monsters look at the dragons and griffons, they recognized them, "Wait a minute, they're originally from our world." Zeus said, "Hey, they are, now that you mention it." Huitzilopochtli replied, and they see the dragons and griffons getting closer, the humans aim their bows and arrows at them, causing the dragons and griffons to stop coming forward, "It really is Volvox's people, just my luck." Dragon Lord Torch said, "You can say that again, Torch, Volvox and I didn't get along, either." Grampa Gruff replied, the dragons and griffons look at one another with surprise, "Wait, the griffons are from there, too?" Princess Ember asked, "What? The dragons also used to serve them?" Gilda asked, "Yes." Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff replied together, surprising the dragons and griffons, but they can see the elder dragons and griffons were not surprised, they were able to realize the elder dragons and griffons were originally from the island that was northeast of Volvox's island, "You should go see them, father." Princess Ember said, "It depends on if Volvox will be happy to see me or not." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Go see him, Grampa Gruff, let's see if he'll welcome us back." a male griffon said, "I'm not too sure about this, but let's give it a try." Grampa Gruff said, and he and Dragon Lord Torch fly to them, the archers were ready to shoot them down, "Stand down, let's see what they want." Volvox said, and the archers did while surprised. Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff fly to the pyramids, "Torch and Gruff, what are you two doing here?" Volvox asked from inside his pyramid, "Just here to see if we'll be welcomed back." Grampa Gruff replied, "The answer's no, you dragons and griffons have turned traitor." Lucifer said from inside his pyramid, "Traitor? More like broke free." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "It doesn't matter, you dragons and griffons left my service, you all are not welcomed back." Volvox said, and Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff flew back, "What do they mean we're traitors?" Princess Ember asked, "Shortly after those people there aligned with them, Volvox and the others were going to that island to the northeast and destroyed homes, the dragons and griffons began serving him to be spared, but we didn't like seeing them have slaves and demanding sacrifices, so we broke away and came here." Dragon Lord Torch replied, shocking the dragons and griffons, "Come on, everybody, let's just get on with our days." Grampa Gruff said, and they do. The Dragon Lands and Griffonstone remain neutral with Volvox and his island, but they all had a sour relationship due to Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff not getting along with Volvox in the past, Dragon Lord Torch watched them while scowling, Princess Ember flew to him, "Father, I'd like to try to bring the hostilities down if possible." Princess Ember said, "No, Ember, let me take care of this, they won't listen to you." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "What? Why not?" Princess Ember asked, "They... have a certain way of dealing with things." Dragon Lord Torch replied, Princess Ember was surprised, "Call Smolder here, we need her, we have something to discuss." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Should I call Spike over as well?" Princess Ember asked, "Well, I guess it's worth a shot, but he must not tell this to his pony friends, they must not come, either, this is dragonkind's problem." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Yes, father." and Princess Ember flew to Ponyville, "I'll be back, everygriffon, I'm going to go get Gallus." Grampa Gruff said and he flew to Ponyville. Twilight Sparkle was teaching at the School of Friendship with Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream present, "Okay, everycreature, since you all are learning to bond, I have a special assignment for you all today, you all are to go out and try to befriend the other ponies in Ponyville." Twilight Sparkle said, the creatures were excited, "Headmare Twilight, Princess Ember and Grampa Gruff are here." Starlight Glimmer said, "Excuse me a minute, everycreature, I'll be right back." Twilight Sparkle said, and she went to her office. Twilight Sparkle sat at her desk with Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack standing to the sides, "What can we do for you guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I need Smolder to come to the Dragon Lands." Princess Ember replied, "Gallus needs to come back to Griffonstone." Grampa Gruff said, "Why?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's a cultural thing." Princess Ember replied, "I have some new rules in Griffonstone to tell everygriffon." Grampa Gruff said, "Wait, Ember, what is this cultural thing?" Applejack asked, "I'm not sure, father didn't go into detail." Princess Ember replied, "You didn't ask him?" Fluttershy asked, "Didn't have the time." Princess Ember replied, "Ooh, ooh, ooh, I know, it must be a festival to celebrate a secret friendship between them." Pinkie Pie said, "I doubt it, Pinkie Pie." Rainbow Dash replied, "One more thing, since this is a cultural thing, Spike has to come as well." Princess Ember said, the ponies gasp, "If Spike's going, I'm going." Twilight Sparkle said, "I'm sorry, but he has to come alone." Princess Ember replied, "I am not letting my little Spikey-Wikey go on his own." Rarity said, "It's alright, guys, Princess Ember is going to be with me, I'll be fine." Spike replied, "You sure, Spike?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes." Spike replied, "Okay, go on, go get Gallus and Smolder, Starlight." Twilight Sparkle said, and Starlight Glimmer trotted out. Starlight Glimmer goes to the Student Six, "Gallus, Smolder, you two are checking out." Starlight Glimmer said, surprising the six, "Wait, for what?" Gallus asked, "Grampa Gruff said he has some new rules to say about Griffonstone." Starlight Glimmer replied, "Oh great, I'm going to have to listen to him ramble on." Gallus said, "What about me?" Smolder asked, "Princess Ember said it's a dragon culture thing." Starlight Glimmer replied, "Dragon culture?" Smolder asked with confusion, "Wait, what exactly is going on?" Sandbar asked, "I don't know, Dragon Lord Ember and Grampa Gruff won't go into detail." Starlight Glimmer replied, "Yona suspicious." Yona said, "Me too." Ocellus replied, "Are you two coming back?" Silverstream asked, "Maybe." Gallus replied, "Probably not." Smolder said, "Come on, you two, let's go." Starlight Glimmer said, and she walks to the office with those two behind her while Sandbar, Ocellus, Yona, and Silverstream watch with suspicion. Princess Ember, Grampa Gruff, Gallus, Smolder, and Spike begin to head east, they stop when they were by the water, "Okay, guys, before we take you, we have something important to say, do not share this with the other creatures." Princess Ember said, shocking Gallus, Smolder, and Spike, "Why not?" Spike asked, "This is a dragonkind and griffonkind problem, getting the other creatures involved will only escalate it." Grampa Gruff replied, "Just what is going on?" Gallus asked, "You'll see soon, Torch and I will explain everything." Grampa Gruff replied, "Well, let's get going, then." Smolder said, and they do. The dragons stand to the north of the Dragon Lands while the griffons stand to the south of Griffonstone, Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff were in front of everydragon and everygriffon, they were all facing east, "Attention, everydragon and everygriffon, Grampa Gruff and I called you here because of a problem that has appeared, but first, some history to explain. Before the dragons and griffons came to this world, we were living on an island, a creature named Volvox was conquering and destroying the homes of other creatures, so the dragons and griffons pledged an alliance to him to be spared from losing our lives, and we served him, Gruff and I never got along with him, and we eventually broke free when one of the gods accidentally opened a magic portal, and came to this world, we lived happily and our own way. We hoped we could keep it that way, but alas, Volvox and his kingdom have appeared once again, to the east of here and Griffonstone, his island and kingdom lies, that is why the dragons and griffons are allying with each other, to fight a common enemy if war between us breaks out." Dragon Lord Torch explained, shocking the young dragons and griffons, "The dragons and griffons did not like Volvox's rule, he had slaves in his kingdom, and believed people should behave certain way based on their genders, that is why we broke free." Grampa Gruff said, shocking the dragons and griffons again, Spike was very shocked, "When we came here, the dragons and griffons destroyed every document of our time living under Volvox's rule, we also destroyed any evidence of us serving under him as well, we didn't want to remember our time of serving under him, it was not a good time for the dragons and griffons." Grampa Gruff said, "We have a sour relationship with Volvox right now, he has deemed us and the griffons traitors, but we did not betray him, we broke away because we did not like the laws of his land, but since he has returned into our lives, the dragons and the griffons are forming an alliance, so we can stand against a common enemy, we will also be making changes to our countries, since me, Gruff, and the elderly dragons and griffons have fought Volvox before, take our advises seriously, we know what we're up against." Dragon Lord Torch said, the young dragons and griffons murmur, "One more thing, this is dragonkind's and griffonkind's problem, so Spike, Smolder, do not tell this to the ponies or other creatures, it will only escalate the problem." Dragon Lord Torch said, "You heard my father, if you tell, Smolder, I'm pulling you out of the school, and as for you, Spike, my father will decide your punishment." Princess Ember said, "Same goes to you, Gallus, you'll be pulled out of the school if you reveal this to the other creatures, this is a dragon and griffon only problem." Grampa Gruff said, "Yes, Grampa Gruff." Gallus replied, "Understood." Smolder said, "I got it." Spike said, "Good, that is all, Gruff and I will watch Volvox, dismissed." Dragon Lord Torch said, and the dragons and griffons leave. The Mane Six were walking together and they hear flying, they see Gallus, Smolder, and Spike coming back, Spike landed while Gallus and Smolder kept flying forward, "Well, what were you called for?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Spike remembers what Princess Ember said and was scared, "It was just to talk about dragon history." Spike replied, "Really? That's amazing. What did you learn?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Just about Torch's reign to when Ember became Dragon Lord, nothing new." Spike replied, "Oh, I see, that's too bad, let's head back home now." Twilight Sparkle said, and they walk together. Gallus and Smolder fly back to their four friends and land, "Well, what was that about?" Sandbar asked, "Meh, just some dumb ol' boring lecture about dragon history." Smolder replied, "Talking about the Blue Moon Festival." Gallus said, "Wow, well, we're studying now, wanna join?" Sandbar asked, and they do. Jesus was sensing something strange and has a vision, he sees many monsters waiting for the ship traveling there, he sees Scylla, Charybdis, Talos, Kraken, Minotaur, Harpies, a Basilisk, a Cockatrice, the Lambton Worm, the Erymanthian Boar, Stymphalian Birds, Catoblepas, the Cyclopes, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa. Jesus sees the traveling ship going to them, he has visions of the ship getting destroyed, along with the crew getting stuck in the water, he becomes shocked and runs to Tom, "Your majesty, a ship heading to the northeastern island is about to be attacked." Jesus said, "You and your visions, you're full of lies." Tom replied, "But, your majesty, my visions and senses of what will happen in the future have never been wrong." Jesus said, "Really now? Let's see if you speak the truth." Tom replied and he goes to the top of his palace and looks to the northeast with a telescope, he sees a ship going there, and the monsters waiting there, "Wait, hold on a minute." Tom said, and he looks at the crew, he notices the crew had light skin color, "Oh, okay, let's send the rescue ships after them." Tom said, and they go. The ship continues heading to the island and the monsters were waiting, Scylla and Charybdis attack first, the men scream as they duck, they get past them, Talos walks forward and stands there, he throws the sword in his right hand at the ship and it splits in half, the men scream as they fall, Talos picks his sword back up and laughs at them. The rescue ships arrive and pull them in and sail back quickly, Jesus ignores it and he sees dark skinned men with wounds on them, he goes to them, the men bow down to him, "Come with me, I run a sanctuary for the slaves." Jesus said, and he leads them, the dark skinned men see other dark skinned people at where Jesus was at, there were women and children there as well, they were all slaves in the kingdom, and treated badly, "Thank you, we feared we would be abused and tortured forever." a male slave said, "I am against slavery and gender roles, here, there is no slave treatment, or gender roles, you all can rest here and do as you please, all children are welcome here." Jesus replied, the slaves become happy and rest in the area while Jesus played with the children and told them stories, he soon has another vision, he saw Princess Ember coming in hopes of easing the tension between Volvox's island and the Dragon Lands, but it was not going to go well, he keeps it in mind while he tends to the slaves. Princess Ember flies to the island while the men worked and the boys played outside, the women were tending to the houses while they taught the girls, "Excuse me." Princess Ember said, and the men looked at her, "I am Princess Ember, I wish to ease up tensions between this island and the Dragon Lands." Princess Ember said, "What are you doing?" a male citizen asked, "I was hoping we could try to befriend one another and not go to war." Princess Ember replied, "No." another male citizen said, "Why not?" Princess Ember asked, "We don't take orders from women." a third male citizen replied, Princess Ember became very shocked, but she soon became enraged, she grits her teeth against one another while her face literally turned red, the humans can hear what sounded like a teapot whistling. Dragon Lord Torch flew down and stood to her right, "See, Ember, in this land, they have this thing called gender roles, females have no power, let your father do the talking." Dragon Lord Torch said, "She's your daughter? Why isn't she in the kitchen, cooking your dinner?" a male citizen asked, the other citizens murmured as well, Princess Ember growled with anger, "Begone, Torch, unless you wish for me to attack you personally." Volvox said from inside his pyramid, "Come on, Ember, let's go." Dragon Lord Torch said, and he and Princess Ember flew out of the country. Grampa Gruff led the young griffons to the easternmost part of Griffonstone, "See that island over there with the other creatures, that's the original home of the dragons and griffons, Volvox and the others serving under him would try to make the creatures serve under them, some obeyed, some resisted, but we gave in because we saw Volvox's army was too big, the dragons gave in as well, since Volvox had Hell under his control as well, Torch and I were kids when we served under Volvox." Grampa Gruff said, "How long ago was this?" Gabby asked, "One thousand five hundred years ago, long before King Grover found the Idol of Boreas." Grampa Gruff replied, surprising the griffons, "Did King Grover serve under Volvox?" Gilda asked, "Of course, he was just a kid, too." Grampa Gruff replied, "So, what was it about Volvox's kingdom the dragons and griffons didn't like?" Gabby asked, "Plenty." Grampa Gruff replied, "Like what?" Gilda asked, "Slavery." Grampa Gruff replied, the young griffons gasped, "Gender roles." Grampa Gruff said, "What's that?" Gilda asked, "You have to behave a certain way because of what your gender is." Grampa Gruff replied, shocking the griffons, "Sacrifices." Grampa Gruff said, "You mean to live in society?" Gabby asked, "No, as in, losing your life, some people in Volvox's kingdom had their lives taken by the nine beings they worship, their sacrifices make their powers stronger, and on certain occasions, animals are sacrificed to them." Grampa Gruff replied, the griffons were very shocked, "It is getting dark, we must rest, but keep an eye on Volvox and his land." Grampa Gruff said, and everycreature rested for the night. Vishnu, Zeus, Amun, Odin, Huitzilopochtli, and Bishamonten feel their powers weakening, "Our powers are going down, we need a sacrifice." Huitzilopochtli said, "Very well, prepare the ritual." Volvox replied, and Vishnu ordered the humans telepathically, four humans gather around a bonfire, they all had a black ball, humans stood by with drums. Princess Luna was in the dream realm and she looks at the dreams of the ponies, "Let's see here, everything looks like normal tonight." Princess Luna said as she looks at the dreams, "Wait, what's this?" Princess Luna asked as she saw Gallus, Smolder, and Spike having strange dreams, she watches them carefully to make sure they do not change to nightmares. The humans begin playing the drums and it wakes up the griffons and dragons, they look and the younger dragons and griffons become shocked when they saw the nine rulers, "Who are those guys?" Princess Ember asked, "Those are the nine rulers, the one in the center is Volvox, the supreme ruler." Grampa Gruff replied, "What about the other eight?" Garble asked, "That's Typhon, Father of All Monsters." Grampa Gruff replied, shocking the younger dragons and griffons when they saw he had one hundred heads, "Vishnu, Hindu god of preserving the world." Grampa Gruff said, "Zeus, Greek god of thunder and the sky." Grampa Gruff said, "Amun, Egyptian god of the sun and the air." Grampa Gruff said, "Odin, Norse god of wisdom, healing, death, royalty, the gallows, knowledge, battle, sorcery, poetry, frenzy, and the runic alphabet." Grampa Gruff said, "Lucifer, Prince of Pride, and one of the rulers of Hell." Grampa Gruff said, the dragons and griffons were kind of scared of him, "Huitzilopochtli, Aztec god of the sun and war." Grampa Gruff said, the dragons and griffons were scared of him, "Bishamonten, Hindu god of warriors." Grampa Gruff said, the dragons and griffons were scared. The humans continue playing the drums while the four humans tossed the ball around while they ran around the fire, the ball eventually began to glow light blue, surprising the dragons and griffons, "What's going on?" Princess Ember asked, "This is a ritual, that ball is a magically enchanted ball, it measures one's spiritual energy, when someone fails to catch the ball, they're out, whoever is the last remaining has the most spiritual energy, they're sacrificed to the gods, the gods take that person's life, absorbs his spiritual energy, and make themselves stronger." Dragon Lord Torch replied, and they keep watching, the ritual goes on for hours, the men were out one by one until only one player remained. He floats up into the air with light blue energy around his body, light blue streams go to Vishnu, Zeus, Amun, Odin, Huitzilopochtli, and Bishamonten, the man is torn into six pieces while the six gods absorb his body and spirit into themselves, returning to full power. The younger dragons and griffons watch with horror while the old dragons and griffons watch stoically, "The sacrifice may be horrifying to you all, but in their culture, being sacrificed is considered an honor, that is why the person did not struggle, he was proud to be sacrificed." Dragon Lord Torch said, the dragons and griffons were still shocked, "Come on, everybody, if we're not going to sleep, let's get some shields up." Grampa Gruff said, confusing the dragons and griffons, "Volvox was always big on creating archers to keep foreigners at bay, and he now has bow and arrows, the dragons and griffons created shields while we served under Volvox, it was to protect us from archers of the other island to the southeast of Volvox's island, we took the shields to this world with us, we're kept them hidden, come on, let's put them up." Dragon Lord Torch said, and they go. The dragons and griffons put up pavises that face Volvox's island in case he does attack them, every dragon and griffon had another pavise to put over their heads, they finish and sleep for the rest of the night. The next day comes and the ponies see the pavises in the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone, Dragon Lord Torch has grown bigger as he got older, so his pavise was now too small for him, and he had to make a new one, "What the?" Twilight Sparkle asked as she saw the pavises, she flew up and saw the other ponies looking, she flew to Princess Celestia, who was on the balcony of Canterlot, "Do you know what's going on, Princess Celestia?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No, I do not, but it doesn't seem the dragons and griffons are becoming friends with one another, those things they put up look very old as well." Princess Celestia replied, "That reminds me, Gallus and Smolder were called out of the school yesterday, so was Spike, I heard it's a cultural thing to the dragons, and Spike learned about dragon history, he didn't go into detail, though." Twilight Sparkle said, "Now, Twilight, I know you want to learn, but you shouldn't press Spike for details, it's possible that what the dragons are doing is something very private and sacred in their culture, and forbidden to share, so if something does happen, let Spike go, and celebrate the customs of his kind." Princess Celestia replied, Twilight Sparkle felt disappointed, she really wanted to learn about what they were doing, but obeyed, "Did Gallus say anything about the griffons?" Princess Celestia asked, "No, I don't know what the griffons are doing." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I see, let's leave them be for now, even though I am curious, myself." Princess Celestia said, Twilight Sparkle looked down, since she cannot learn what they were doing, but she flew back to the School of Friendship. The other creatures look at Griffonstone and the Dragon Lands while they wonder what the pavises were for, "What dragon and griffon doing?" Prince Rutherford asked, the other yaks were also confused, "Do any of you have an idea on what's going on?" King Thorax asked, the changelings shook their heads, "What should we do, your majesty?" General Seaspray asked, "Leave them be, dragon and griffon customs are not our concern." Queen Novo replied, the other countries just went on with their days. Dragon Lord Torch makes himself a new pavise while the elderly dragons and griffons taught the younger ones how to make them, they were made in no time, Dragon Lord Torch finished his after sometime, he and Grampa Gruff got the dragons and griffons together again, "We will attack Volvox." Dragon Lord Torch said, shocking the dragons and griffons, "Wait, Dragon Lord Torch, we were no match for him a thousand five hundred years ago, his army looks bigger now." a male dragon replied, "He's right, attacking him is suicide." a male griffon said, "If we just stand here and do nothing, then Volvox will eventually attack and destroy us, he deems us traitors, and he wants to get rid of traitors as fast as possible." Grampa Gruff replied, "But, how are you guys certain he will attack?" a female dragon asked, "Because if Volvox has not changed, then he will want to take us out as soon as possible." Grampa Gruff replied, "And how do you guys know that?" a male dragon asked, "Because Gruff and I have fought Volvox before, we know what we're up against." Dragon Lord Torch replied, surprising the dragons and griffons, "Wait, before we attack, why don't you two try to see if they're going to attack first?" Princess Ember asked, Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff were surprised, "Let's go, Gruff." Dragon Lord Torch said, and they fly to Volvox's land. Jesus senses something and has a vision of Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff coming, he has another vision of Dragon Lord Torch arguing with Volvox, and Grampa Gruff arguing with Dommiel, "Is something wrong, Jesus?" a female slave asked, "Yes, I was having one of my visions, come on, let's get the other dark skinned folk here, my visions say something bad is about to happen." Jesus replied, and he and the dark skinned people left to go get the other slaves. Tom spots Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff flying over, the archers were ready to fire at them, "Stand down, let's see what they want." Tom said, and the archers do, Volvox comes out of his pyramid, so did Dommiel, he was too far to the east for the other creatures to see him, Volvox used his telekinesis to make himself fly and land in the water, Dommiel made shadow wings appear and flew to the two, "What do you two want?" Volvox asked, "Just wanted to see if we were on peaceful terms." Grampa Gruff replied, "Take a look, yourselves." Dommiel said, and the two see the archers were ready, "Uh-huh! You are planning to attack us!" Dragon Lord Torch said, "I have no patience with traitors, they must be eliminated as soon as possible." Volvox replied, "Since when did we become traitors?" Grampa Gruff asked, "When you all turned against us and ran away." Dommiel replied, Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff have flashbacks, Dragon Lord Torch fought Volvox while Grampa Gruff fought Dommiel, "We turned because we don't like your ways." Dragon Lord Torch said, "That's your own faults, you guys and your prides and greed." Dommiel replied, "At least we don't have slavery!" Grampa Gruff said, "We don't have gender roles and sacrifices, either!" Dragon Lord Torch replied, Volvox and Dommiel were angered, Volvox presses his center head against Dragon Lord Torch's head while Dommiel pressed his head against Grampa Gruff's head, they push the heads back while they let out loud grunts of anger. The ponies and hippogriffs were minding their own businesses until they hear the grunts all the way to the east, they shrug and get on with their days. Dragon Lord Torch presses on his head on Volvox's center head while he did the same, and Grampa Gruff pressed his head against Dommiel's head, the Dragon Lands, Griffonstone, Volvox's island, and the other two islands watch them. Several male dragons and griffons fly over to break it up, "That's enough, guys, let's step back and take a deep breath." a male dragon said, "This means war." Volvox said, "Very well." Dragon Lord Torch replied, and Volvox and Dommiel flew back. The dragons and griffons fly back to their respective countries, "We have to attack now, Volvox was planning to use his archers to fire arrows at us, Torch and I were right, he hasn't changed at all." Grampa Gruff said, shocking the griffons, "We must attack now, or Volvox will kill us all and destroy our land by dark, do not bring Smolder or Spike here, the last thing we need is more creatures getting involved, it will only make things worse, come on, we must attack now." Dragon Lord Torch said, and the dragons and griffons fly to the east. Volvox had his entire army ready, Typhon's children were ready to attack, Odin called the Valkyries to help, Lucifer summoned his demons, Bishamonten was ready to fight, and Tom was leading the front troops from the rear. The dragons and griffons begin flying over and Tom orders his archers to shoot at the dragons and griffons, but they wore old armor that they developed while under Volvox's rule, the arrows did not do much. Zeus throws a lightning bolt at the dragons and griffons, but it misses them, "Everyone, do not use your strongest weaponry, we're just trying to hold them off for now." Volvox said, and the humans just fire a little arrows. The dragons and griffons keep flying forward, it was not doing much, so Odin ordered his Valkyries to attack them, they ride their horses in the air and throw spears at the dragons and griffons, they all fly around to dodge them, while some of the dragons caught the spear and threw it back at them, surprising Odin, "Okay, that didn't work, try the demons." Volvox said, and Lucifer orders them to attack with a hand gesture. The demons fly to them and try to wrestle the griffons, since the dragons were too big, the griffons were able to hold them off and knock into the water, they flew back and shook their heads. Volvox tries to look past them and sees several dragons and griffons in the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone, "Archers, ignore them, shoot the arrows into their countries." Volvox said, the dragons and griffons become shocked, they quickly fly back while the archers get ready. The dragons and griffons fly back and get their young, they hide behind the pavises, they all get a second pavise and hold it in their hands' and feathers, they put it over their heads. The humans shoot the arrows to the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone, there were so many arrows, it blocked out the entire sky to the east. The ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs see the arrows, much to their shocks, "What the?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "What in tarnation?" Applejack asked, the arrows land and they all land somewhere in the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone, not a single arrow went into the water, nor hit the other countries. The dragons and griffons come up and look, everycreature sees no one was hurt, Princess Celestia flew out of her palace and into the sky, she could not see Volvox's land from where she was at, so she flew closer and higher, and saw the three islands, but saw no one, much to her suspicion. The dragons and griffons stand up and look at Volvox's island, the archers were gone, much to their relief, they begin cleaning up the arrows until the griffons hear the train, they look and saw Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack get off the train, they run to them, "No, turn back, Griffonstone is off limits for now." Gilda said, "What's going on?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Don't worry about it, this is dragonkind and griffonkind business." Gilda replied, "Oh, come on, tell us." Rainbow Dash said, "See, this is the problem, whenever the other creatures have something to do, you ponies always get involved, just this once, stay out of it, you guys getting involved will also only make things worse." Gilda replied, shocking the Mane Six, "Turn back, this is something only for the griffons and dragons." Gilda said, "I wanna see the people there." Pinkie Pie replied, "No, they are not friendly." Gilda said, the Mane Six were surprised, "Go back to Equestria, Griffonstone is going to have to cut off all entrances to our country for sometime." Gilda said, the Mane Six were surprised, but they left nonetheless, they boarded the train and went back to Ponyville. Twilight Sparkle called Gallus, Smolder, and Spike to her office, "Be specific with me, what's going on, exactly?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the three become nervous, "Well, y'all?" Applejack asked, "We're sorry, but we were told by the rulers not to tell the other creatures." Spike replied, "What?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "You can't be serious!" Rainbow Dash said, "We are, if Smolder and I say anything, we will be pulled out of the school." Gallus replied, the Mane Six and Starlight Glimmer were shocked, "Did you guys lie to us?" Rarity asked, "I didn't, what's going on in the Dragon Lands really does have something to do with dragon history." Smolder replied, "What about you, Gallus?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Gallus sighed, "I lied, this has nothing to do with the Blue Moon Festival, it's about griffon history." Gallus replied, "To back when King Grover found the Idol of Boreas?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Long before that." Gallus replied, "Um, how long ago to be exact?" Fluttershy asked, "One thousand five hundred years ago." Gallus replied, shocking the seven mares, "That's before Princess Celestia was even born." Twilight Sparkle said, "Still, why do the dragons and griffons want to keep whatever's happening a secret?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Well... we're not too sure on that, either." Spike replied, Applejack can tell he was not lying, "I see, well, dismissed, and be careful." Twilight Sparkle said, and Gallus and Smolder leave. Princess Ember and Grampa Gruff were to the west of their respective countries, Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, King Thorax, Prince Rutherford, and Princess Skystar were there and trying to argue with them, "Everycreature, we're sorry, but we have to close the borders to the Dragon Lands." Princess Ember said, "Just what is going on?" Princess Cadence asked sternly, "I'm not so sure myself, this is something only my father and the elder dragons know about." Princess Ember replied, "Is it some historical thing?" Shining Armor asked, "Yeah, somewhere around those lines." Princess Ember replied, "But you don't know the details?" King Thorax asked, "No, I do not." Princess Ember replied, "I see, well, Princess Celestia might send us here again, we'll be watching from our homes." Princess Cadence said, and Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and King Thorax left them, "What's going on in your country?" Princess Skystar asked, "It's... complicated, not even I understand." Gabby replied, "Is it griffon history?" Prince Rutherford asked, "Yeah, kind of, it's way before we were born, though." Gabby replied, "So griffon not understand?" Prince Rutherford asked, "No, not at all, and I'm sorry, guys, but Griffonstone is going to have to close its borders." Gabby replied, Princess Skystar groaned, "I'm sorry, nocreature is allowed into our country until we reopen the borders, that means the train won't be allowed to enter this country, either." Gabby said, Prince Rutherford and Princess Skystar were surprised, but they left and went back to their respective countries. Princess Celestia watches from her palace and Twilight Sparkle went to her while hyperventilating, "Princess Celestia, I need help, the dragons and griffons said whatever's going on is a cultural and historical thing, but I can't find any information on their history on whatever's happening." Twilight Sparkle said, "It also depends on when it took place, Twilight, how long ago did they say was it?" Princess Celestia asked, "One thousand five hundred years ago." Twilight Sparkle replied, Princess Celestia becomes surprised, she turns to face Twilight Sparkle, "One thousand five hundred years ago? I wasn't even born, yet." Princess Celestia said, "Please, Princess Celestia, you must have something." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I'm afraid I do not, Twilight." Princess Celestia replied, Twilight Sparkle's heart fell, she desperately wanted to learn about whatever in the dragon's and griffon's history was going on just for the sake of knowing, she was not used to not knowing, "I did check earlier, though, I saw three islands to the east of the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone, but I saw no one, I know someone's living there, there's pyramids and other architecture on the closest island." Princess Celestia said, she remembers the nine pyramids very well, they looked like dark gold versions of El Castillo, "I need to learn about this." Twilight Sparkle said, and she flew to the east. The dragons and griffons were cleaning the arrows when they heard flying, they saw Twilight Sparkle flying to them, Gilda and Princess Ember flew to in front of her, "Whoa, hold on, nocreature is allowed into this area." Princess Ember said, "What? But I want to go to the new area and learn about their culture." Twilight Sparkle replied, "No can do, nocreature is allowed to go anywhere near our country or the new area, it's too dangerous." Gilda said, "Then can I please learn the history of a thousand and five hundred years ago of the griffons and the dragons?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Why?" Princess Ember asked, "Just for the sake of knowing." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Nope, it's really none of your business, either." Gilda said, "What?! But I wanna learn!" Twilight Sparkle replied, "Trust me, this part of our history is better off not known." Princess Ember said, "But I still wanna learn it!" Twilight Sparkle replied, "No way, this is personal." Gilda said, "Ugh!" Twilight Sparkle said, but she decided to turn back and fly away, much to Princess Ember's and Gilda's relief. The dark skinned slaves keep working and were treated badly, the men had to do manual labor, while the women had to cook, clean, and tend to the kids of their masters, they were all tired, five slaves were doing carpentry and their lack of experience made pieces of wood break apart due to them not knowing how to use the tools, the natives to the island took notice of it. The military runs to them and beat them, along with subduing them, Tom walked to the area to see the damage, "Put them on a raft and tie them, let the monsters eat them." Tom said, the other slaves were shocked, "No!" a female slave said, "Daddy!" a dark skinned boy said as his father was taken away. The five slaves were put on a wooden raft and tied down at their wrists and ankles so they could not move, the soldiers put the raft in the water and it began to move. The five dark skinned men struggle to break free and they saw the raft moving to the northeastern island, the monsters were waiting for them to come so they could eat them, Scylla and Charybdis stood at the sides of the strait and waited for them, Talos was at the end, waiting for them. The dragons and griffons look and saw what the commotion was, they see the slaves being sent to the northeastern island, the elderly dragons and griffons were shocked at what Volvox's kingdom was doing, "Come on, we have to go." Dragon Lord Torch said, "What's going on?" Princess Ember asked, "The slaves caused a minor accident, so Volvox's kingdom is sending them to that island to get eaten by the monsters." Dragon Lord Torch replied, the dragons and griffons were shocked, "Come on, let's go." Grampa Gruff said, and the dragons and griffons fly to them. The five slaves struggle to free themselves while they get closer to Scylla and Charybdis, the griffons and dragons fly to them and work to free them, Scylla attacks the griffons and dragons in the sky, they work to hold her back. Arrows were shot at the dragons and griffons, they look and saw Tom ordering them to them down, they fired arrows at the dragons and griffons trying to free the slaves, but they kept missing, so Typhon sent Sphinx and the Caucasian Eagle to attack them, while Volvox sent Phoenix and Thunderbird after them, Phoenix attacked the griffons, while Thunderbird attacked the dragons. Princess Ember and the others try to free the slaves on the raft, the griffons use their talons to cut their restraints off, Charybdis begins spinning around to suck them in, but the five present picked them up and flew into the sky. Noises in the water were heard and the Laestrygonians come up to the surface, they let out several grunts and growls as they tried to grab the slaves so they can eat them, but the dragons and griffons fly up quickly while holding onto the five slaves. Phoenix fought Grampa Gruff while Dragon Lord Torch fought Thunderbird, the other griffons fought the Caucasian Eagle while a few dragons fought Sphinx, they were ganged up on and overpowered, "Come back here, you two, you two aren't going to win that fight." Typhon said from inside his pyramid, and they fly back to him, "Retreat, guys, you're outnumbered." Volvox said from inside his pyramid, and Phoenix and Thunderbird fly back to him. The dragons and griffons get ready to fly back home with the slaves, but they see the Stymphalian Birds flying to them, "Fly back, those are the Stymphalian Birds, they have feathers made out of bronze that they can shoot like arrows, metal beaks as sharp as swords, and strength that allows them to grab weapons and pieces of armor." Dragon Lord Torch said, the younger dragons and griffons were shocked, "Come on, let's go, they're too dangerous to fight." Grampa Gruff said, and the dragons and griffons fly back to their respective countries with the human slaves. The dragons and griffons kept the humans with them and hid them, "You guys alright?" Princess Ember asked, the humans nod, "We don't offer hospitality, so you guys are on your own." Gilda said, "It is alright, we will be free soon." a slave said, "Why?" Gabby asked, "Humbaba's brother will rise up and fight Tom, to free us, and avenge his brother, Humbaba was killed by by the nine they worship before we came here, he's also the one who sent us to this area." the slave replied, "I see, well, good luck surviving here." Gilda said, and the five slaves stay in the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone for sometime. Twilight Sparkle goes through her books in her library to find any information on the dragons and griffons over their history, she could not find anything, she was throwing her books behind her with her telekinesis as she tried to find something, she was beginning to hyperventilate, "I can't find anything, I can't find anything! I need to know!" Twilight Sparkle said, she hyperventilated more, her friends watched her with worry, "You okay, Twilight?" Applejack asked, "No, I'm not okay! The dragons and griffons have something in their history, before Princess Celestia was born, and only the elderly dragons and griffons know what happened, and Spike and Smolder won't talk about the dragons' history, while Gallus won't talk about the griffons' history, and I don't have any books going back that far on their history, and there are no recorded documents on whatever it is, I can't take it!" Twilight Sparkle replied, she panted heavily, "Wow, I didn't think she'd freak out over something like this." Starlight Glimmer said, "Yeah, me neither, Ah didn't think she'd go this far to learn somethin'." Applejack replied, "Twilight, dear, what are you doing?" Rarity asked as she saw Twilight Sparkle go through her spell books, "There's a spell that allows me and others to see the past, and the caster can choose which year and events to see, I need to cast it. I need to know!" Twilight Sparkle replied, and she continues looking for the spell while her friends watch her with worry. Tom watched the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone while he looked for the humans, he could not find them, he heard kids playing and saw them running around, they were in front of him, "Hey, kids." Tom said, they look at him, he says "This is a working area for adults, go play somewhere else." and the kids run elsewhere, he keeps watching and does not see the slaves anywhere, he noticed their wives and kids were relieved they were saved, he also saw Jesus healing the injured slaves by touching them, they were whipped as punishment for messing up at their jobs, he then saw Jesus leaving to go to the Dragon Lands. Tom remembered seeing Twilight Sparkle trying to enter the two countries, it gave him an idea, he went to the nine the humans worshiped, "Emperor Volvox, I have an idea." Tom said, "What is it?" Volvox asked from inside his pyramid, "I noticed the dragons and griffons speaking to someone earlier, she looked like a hybrid between a unicorn and a Pegasus, I was thinking the dragons and griffons are friends with these horses, so maybe we can build a fake one to fool them, and take the slaves back." Tom replied, "Do as you wish." Bishamonten said from inside his pyramid, "Yeah, your choice." Lucifer said from inside his pyramid, Typhon's children agreed, "What do you plan to call it?" Zeus asked from inside his pyramid, "How about Trojan Horse?" Tom asked, "Why?" Volvox asked from inside his pyramid, "Because I plan to name my son Trojan if I have one, this'll be a gift to him after we use it." Tom replied, the nine were bewildered and confused, "Okay, go ahead and build it." Volvox said from inside his pyramid, "I'll use my powers to make the soldiers work faster." Bishamonten said from inside his pyramid, and he does. Jesus runs on the water to go to the Dragon Lands, the dragons were ready to attack him, "Wait, he's with us, he heals us after we're injured." a male slave said, surprising the humans, "I'm here to bring them back, I promise you they'll be safe with me." Jesus said, "Can we trust him?" Princess Ember asked, the slaves nod, "Please, you must believe him, this man has saved us several times." another slave said, "Okay, but I'm keeping an eye on him." Princess Ember said, and the slaves go to him, Jesus carries them back while walking on water, much to the surprise of the dragons. Jesus went to Griffonstone after getting the slaves in the Dragon Lands home, "Who are you?" Gilda asked, "I am a protector and healer, the slaves have sanctuary when with me." Jesus replied, "Can we trust him?" Gabby asked, the slaves in Griffonstone nod, "Well, he is standing on the water, so maybe we can." Gilda said, and the slaves go to him, Jesus carries them back home and left. The soldiers in Volvox's society were done making the contraption, they took it to Tom for him to see, he realizes it was a giant wicker man, "No, guys, Trojan Horse, not Trojan Man." Tom said, "Oh." the soldiers said, realizing their mistake, "How are you all planning to make the fake horse look?" Tom asked, "Like a regular horse." a soldier replied, Tom's eyes widened, "Guys, that's definitely not going to work, she doesn't look anything like a regular horse." Tom said, "Well, what did she look like?" a soldier asked, "Purple, and her mane looked almost like human hair." Tom replied, shocking the soldiers, "Never mind, forget it, I'll just talk to them." Volvox said, and he came out of his pyramid, shrinking himself so the world's natives do not see him, "Torch, Gruff, I'd like to have a peaceful conversation." Volvox said, Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff flew to him, "What do you want?" Grampa Gruff asked, "What do you guys have against me?" Volvox asked, "A lot, you have slaves, gender roles, and you guys demand the people and animals to be sacrificed!" Dragon Lord Torch replied, "You really have grown, Torch, I remember back when I could smash you with my foot, same with you, Gruff." Volvox said, "It doesn't matter now, we don't like your ways, we live in areas where there are no slaves or gender roles." Grampa Gruff replied, "Isn't that female griffon over there cooking?" Volvox asked, Grampa Gruff becomes shocked and looks, he saw Gilda making scones, "It's her job, and her choice, she wasn't forced to do it." Grampa Gruff replied, "My daughter rules in my place, she can be what she wants." Dragon Lord Torch said, the humans were shocked and disgusted, "You have your ways, and I have mine, maybe I should've killed you traitors earlier." Volvox said, "Well, that's your loss!" Grampa Gruff said, and they bicker. Jesus was attending to the slaves to heal them and give them freedom, he has a vision of the islands shifting, he runs to Tom, "Tom, I just had a vision of the islands shifting to the west by magic." Jesus said, "Oh, shut up, you and your made up stories." Tom replied, "I have also foreseen your downfall." Jesus said, "I am the son of Zeus and Hera, I am a god, I am invincible." Tom replied, Jesus just glared at him. A light brilliant raspberry colored aura surrounds the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone, surprising everybody. Twilight Sparkle casted a spell to see the history of the dragons and griffons, she could not find any documents or history books on the matter, and the desire to know was driving her crazy, so she found a spell that allows her to see their history, "There, now to see what happened a thousand five hundred years ago." Twilight Sparkle said, and a big white screen appeared in the sky, everycreature could see it. The screen shows four islands, the western island was Volvox's island, the northern island was the monster island, the southern island was the human island, and the eastern island was the home of Amazons, women who were warlike. The Amazons attacked Volvox's island just for the sake of war, but Volvox's unleashed three fire breaths from inside his pyramid and destroyed the entire island, the Amazons were obliterated by his fire breaths, they were very big, shocking the ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs. The picture changes to the monster island, everycreature saw the dragons and griffons living there, much to their surprises, Volvox, Typhon, Vishnu, Zeus, Amun, Odin, Lucifer, Huitzilopochtli, and Bishamonten lead their armies and invade the island, everycreature was extremely shocked when they saw Volvox, Typhon, and Lucifer, they see them demanding the creatures to bow and serve them, but they refused, so the nine destroyed them, making some of the creatures extinct, they were going to attack the dragons and griffons next, "Wait, we surrender." the dragon ruler at the time said, "We surrender, too, don't destroy us." the griffon ruler at the time said, "Wait, father?" Princess Ember asked, they all saw Dragon Lord Torch, he was younger than Spike at that time, and did not have his wings yet, "Is that Grampa Gruff right there?" Gilda asked, they all see Grampa Gruff was a little kid as well, "Look, there's King Grover." Gabby said, everygriffon saw King Grover was also a kid, "Very well, you all will need to serve me in exchange, come." Volvox said, and he went back to his island while the dragons and griffons followed them, the dragons and griffons lived with him, they all served as Volvox's air force, they all grew and saw Dragon Lord Torch become one of Volvox's military generals, while Grampa Gruff became an adviser to him. Volvox eventually had humans come to his island, they were from the southern island, they explained they wanted to serve Volvox, and there were humans of darker skin there, they said they were enemies with them, and wanted to align with Volvox to take them down, Volvox and the other eight agreed, and attacked the southern island. The picture changes and the light skinned humans lived on Volvox's island under his rule, and provided him a navy, the ships also came back with dark skinned humans, they had to serve under Volvox as slaves, the ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs were very shocked, "Volvox, what are you doing?!" Grampa Gruff asked, "Simple, I am merely adopting, it was those humans who came up with the idea of slavery in the first place." Volvox replied, "You're not going to resist it?!" Grampa Gruff asked, "Can't, there are more humans than I have dragons, griffons, and other creatures combined, do not underestimate weak people in large numbers, Gruff, they can overpower you easily, I have also received telepathic information from the Maker not to intervene, and to let the humans grow." Volvox replied, Grampa Gruff was surprised, King Grover flew to Volvox, "Emperor, they're treating the dark skinned humans like trash." King Grover said, "Well, they did lose the war, it is common to be treated that way after losing." Volvox replied, King Grover was shocked. The picture changes to Volvox and the other eight who were worshiped having human soldiers, they only had males, "Wait, guys, what about the females?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "Only males are allowed in the military." Lucifer replied, "Why?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "Don't you dragons only allow males to join as well?" Dommiel asked, "No, both genders are allowed to serve." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Torch, remember, this is our land, our rules, the men fight, work, and protect others, while the women cook, clean, take care of the kids, nurse the injured and sick, make clothes, and keep their fellow males pleased, as long as you dragons serve us, you all will act accordingly to our society's rules of your gender." Zeus said, the ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs were extremely shocked, "What?!" Rainbow Dash asked, the other people were still very shocked. The picture changes to the humans playing a ball game, the winner was divided into six pieces and everyone except Volvox, Typhon, and Lucifer absorbed his body parts to empower themselves, the world's natives were very shocked by what they saw. The picture changes to the humans sacrificing a pig while it struggled and squealed, they kill it and cut it apart with a knife, the world's natives watched with horror, while Fluttershy cried, the pig's sacrifice made food and crops grow for the humans, which were provided by Huitzilopochtli and Amun, "What are you guys doing?!" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "Blessing them, they have sacrificed the animal to give to us as food, we are just returning the favor." Typhon replied, the dragons and griffons had enough of the kingdom's ways, so they secretly began to plot a rebellion. The picture changes to the dragons and griffons making pavises since Volvox was big on having archers, the dragons and griffons launched a rebellion one day and a small fight broke out, no one was hurt, Odin tried to open a portal to call his allies, but opened one to the current world they were in, and the dragons and griffons flew in to escape Volvox's rule. The dragons and griffons arrive into the world and settle in their respective countries, "You all know the drill, never speak of it, never look back on it, and destroy all documents and writings we have from Volvox's time, we're not there anymore." King Grover said, "Everydragon, we can start anew here, never look back at that time, we will start a new life here, and be one more free and less brutal than Volvox's rule, let's get started." Dragon Lord Torch said, and the screen went down. The ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs look on with complete shock, unable to believe what they saw, "No wonder why they won't share it, it's a part they wanna forget." Applejack said, "Did you know about this, Spike?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No." Spike replied, they just watch look forward to the east. Volvox and Dragon Lord Torch press heads against one another again, Volvox used his center head and used his powers to make himself his regular size, the two pressed their heads while growling, and Grampa Gruff growled at Volvox. A yellow aura surrounded the three islands, "What the?" Tom asked, and the islands move to the west. Princess Celestia uses her telekinesis to bring the three islands closer, she wanted to see the people there for once, she put the three islands in the Celestial Sea, just east of Baltimare, everybody was shocked to see Volvox's massive size in person, Volvox and Dragon Lord Torch growled at one another, but stopped when they saw the dragons and griffons were ready to attack them, and the human archers were ready to fire arrows at the dragons and griffons, the other eight pyramids burst open and Typhon, Vishnu, Zeus, Amun, Odin, Lucifer, Huitzilopochtli, and Bishamonten came out, so did Dommiel, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Cerberus, Orthrus, the Nemean Lion, the Hydra, Chimera, Sphinx, the Colchian Dragon, Ladon, and the Caucasian Eagle, the humans on the southeastern island were ready to throw spears, and the northeastern island had Scylla, Charybdis, Talos, the Laestrygonians, Kraken, Minotaur, Harpies, the Basilisk, the Cockatrice, the Lambton Worm, the Erymanthian Boar, Stymphalian Birds, Catoblepas, the Cyclopes, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa, they look around as well, the ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs were surprised by how many creatures there were. Dragon Lord Torch and Volvox keep growling at one another, "I have no patience with someone who has slaves." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Nor do I with traitors." Volvox replied, telekinesis was cast to separate them, "Enough. Stop it." Princess Celestia said as she flew to them, Twilight Sparkle flew with her, "I do not know what went on between you guys, but it needs to stop, I do not appreciate the other nations going to war." Princess Celestia said, "You are?" Volvox asked, "Princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria." Princess Celestia replied, "I am Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship, whenever there is a problem or people not getting along in this world, it is my job to fix it." Twilight Sparkle said, Gilda slapped her own face with her right talon, "Ugh! You ponies just had to get involved!" Gilda said, "It is my job, when people do not get along, I am to fix it." Twilight Sparkle replied, "But you're not in Equestria." Gabby said, "Whether the problem is in Equestria or not doesn't matter." Twilight Sparkle replied, the dragons and griffons grumble, "Begone, my business is with the dragons and the griffons." Volvox said, "See, even Volvox wants to keep it just between us." a male dragon said, the others agreed, "First off, Volvox, I understand you are the original ruler of the dragons and the griffons." Princess Celestia said, "Yes, I am, until they betrayed me." Volvox replied, "I do not wish to go to war with your nation, I wish for us to have peaceful relations, but the dragons and griffons are our friends, you all are going to have to work things out before we can be on good relations." Princess Celestia said, "War will break out first." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Yeah, like we will ever be friends with him." Grampa Gruff said, "Well, then I suggest you all go back to your countries and calm down, then reach an agreement with one another, I'll be back here another time." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she and Princess Celestia flew away, Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff went back home, while Volvox and the other eight went into their pyramids, everybody sleeps at night while the humans watch the dragons and griffons closely. The next day comes and the Mane Six go to Volvox's island through Twilight Sparkle's hot air balloon, they were excited, but exclaimed with shock and screamed when the humans began shooting arrows at them, "Guys, stop, it's us!" Twilight Sparkle said, "Cease fire, everyone, let's see what they want." Tom said, and the archers stop firing at them. The hot air balloon lands and the six step out, "What are you all doing here?" Tom asked, "I am doing royal duties for my country, I am required to know your customs and ways of living so I can report it back to my home country, I would like for you all to share your culture, and show me your ways." Twilight Sparkle replied, the men just get on with their days, "Excuse me, I just issued a command." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans just keep working, "Hey, I said I'd like to be shown around!" Twilight Sparkle said in a very annoyed tone while raising her voice, the humans just get on with their days, "Stop ignoring me!" Twilight Sparkle said angrily, the men continue to ignore her, Twilight Sparkle growls, Princess Celestia watched from the balcony of her palace and was noticing Twilight Sparkle getting angry, she instantly knew something was wrong. Princess Ember flew down and landed to Twilight Sparkle's left, "Hey, it's not going to work." Princess Ember said, "Why not?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Since you're in their country, you have no power whatsoever." Princess Ember replied, "I am trying to ask them kindly to show me around, but they won't listen!" Twilight Sparkle said in an annoyed tone, "That's because we don't take orders from women." a man replied, shocking the Mane Six, "What?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "Say what now?!" Applejack asked, "See, that was I was trying to tell you guys." Princess Ember replied, "What was it, darling?" Rarity asked, "Only males have authority in their land, including foreigners, you're powerless in this country because of your gender." Princess Ember replied, Twilight Sparkle was very shocked. Princess Celestia was very angry at what she heard, the ponies in Canterlot notice her making an angry face with her teeth exposed and was glaring, they can hear a noise that sounded like a teapot whistling, and Princess Celestia's face literally turned red as she pressed her teeth against one another. The Mane Six were very shocked by the revelation, "There you have it, go back to your home, horse." Tom said, "I'm a pony!" Twilight Sparkle said in an annoyed tone, "Same thing." Tom replied, "No, it's not!" Twilight Sparkle said in a very annoyed tone, Tom decided to just go with it since he has learned before not to argue with a female, "What about you five, what are you guys?" Tom asked, "Name's Rainbow Dash, Wonderbolt reporting for duty." Rainbow Dash replied, shocking the humans, "What?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Military is for men only." a soldier replied, "What?! That is not cool!" Rainbow Dash said, the humans glare at her, "That is not the proper way to use that word." a male citizen said, "Yes, it is." Rainbow Dash said, "No, it's not, the word 'cool' means either, fairly low temperature, or someone who is calm." another male citizen replied, "Oh, you guys are referring to the actual meaning." Rainbow Dash said, the humans shake their heads, "I'm Pinkie Pie, I'm a baker and party planner!" Pinkie Pie said, "Then why don't you go back to your man, and make his dinner?" a male citizen asked, "I'm single." Pinkie Pie replied, "Look at that, a spinster." Tom said, "Hey! I'm not that old." Pinkie Pie replied, "How old are you?" a male citizen asked, "Twenty." Pinkie Pie replied, "Nope, you're old, most girls marry when they're twelve." a soldier said, greatly shocking the Mane Six, "Marry?! At twelve years old?!" Rarity asked with horror, "What about boys? How old are they when they marry?" Applejack asked, "Thirteen." Tom replied, the six mares were completely horrified, "Girls marry at twelve?! Boys marry at thirteen?! That's disgustin' y'all!" Applejack said, "You don't know our ways." Tom replied, "Who are you, anyway?" a male soldier asked, "Mah name's Applejack, I run Sweet Apple Acres." Applejack replied, "You're... a farmer?" a male citizen asked, "That's right." Applejack replied, "Why are you doing a man's job?" a soldier asked, "Cause someone needs to run the farm, and mah big brother can't do it all by himself." Applejack replied, "Don't you have any children?" Tom asked, "Nope." Applejack replied, "What about you?" Tom asked, "My name is Rarity, I'm a fashion designer." Rarity replied, "You make clothes?" a male citizen asked, "Yes, I do, but I must say, you all have some weird clothing on." Rarity replied, she noticed most males were robes that looked like dresses and skirts, while Tom appeared to be wearing armor shaped like a long-sleeve shirt, pants, elbow length gloves, and knee length boots, they were black with gold outlines, and his cape was gold on the outside, while black on the inside, "Why don't you go back to your man?" Tom asked, "I'm single." Rarity replied, "Then maybe other men would like you to make clothes for them?" Tom asked, Rarity exclaimed with shock for a moment, "Excuse me, but can't a lady work on her career?" Rarity asked, "Your man comes first." a soldier replied, Rarity blushed a bit, "And the last one?" Tom asked, they all saw Fluttershy was hiding in the back, "Oh, um, I'm Fluttershy, I run a cottage and take care of animals." Fluttershy replied, "Hmm, they do have an area for raising food." a soldier said, the six mares become shocked, "Wait, they're not for eating, they're for being adopted as pets." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yes, it is very hard work." Fluttershy said, "You should be looking after sons, not animals." a male citizen said, surprising Fluttershy, the six mares notice their ways of living were completely different from their own, "Can you all at least please take us to this country's women?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Sure, this way." a male citizen replied, and they follow him. The Mane Six look around and see only male citizens working, they also see kids playing, but it was only boys, "Wait, what's going on over there?" Twilight Sparkle asked, and the others see dark skinned males walking, following a light skinned male, the dark skinned males had rope tied around their wrists, "Just a man doing his job." the male citizen replied, "And what would that be?" Rarity asked, "Getting servants to help him work in his house." the male citizen replied, "Servants? They don't look like servants to me." Applejack said, "Don't be fooled, it is." the male citizen replied, "Come now, this way." the male citizen said, and he leads them. The male citizen takes them to a place filled with women and he walked back, it was a big kitchen, the women were cooking, "Uh, excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, and they look at her, one woman went to her, "You all here to work?" the woman asked, "No, we're here to study your culture." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, you won't find much, us women are busy." the woman said, "Who are you?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I'm the matriarch of my family, I run the home and make sure everything goes smoothly until my husband gets back." the woman replied, "Wait, until your husband gets back?" Rarity asked, "Yup, the fathers or oldest males have all the power in the family." the woman replied, the Mane Six were shocked, they did not like that the slightest, "What if there is no father?" Rarity asked, "Then the oldest son runs the family." the woman replied, "What if the daughter is older than the oldest son?" Rarity asked, "Oldest son still runs the family, daughters have no saying whatsoever." the woman replied, "What if all of the male relatives have passed?" Applejack asked, "Then the matriarch will take care of things, it's usually the mother, or in some cases, the oldest female in the entire family." the woman replied, the Mane Six were still surprised, "Wow, you guys are really different from our home." Rainbow Dash said, "I noticed that, I see you girls don't wear clothes." the woman replied, the Mane Six become a bit embarrassed, "Maybe I can work there, I am a baker." Pinkie Pie said, "Mmm, maybe, cooking is a bit different from baking." the woman replied, "What about me? I sew clothes." Rarity said, "Oh no, the last woman who weaved in this country got turned into a spider." the woman replied, the Mane Six were confused, but ignored it, "What else do you all do besides cooking?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Dancing, taking care of the kids, cleaning, and entertaining the men in other ways, we're very busy." the woman replied, "Must be hard." Fluttershy said, "It's fun, though, well, for me." the woman replied, "Well, we have to get going." Twilight Sparkle said, "Okay, but I don't think you'll find much more to our culture." the woman replied, and she walked away, the Mane Six walk to the south. The Mane Six walk around and they hear heavy breathing, "There, it's okay, you are safe here, let me heal you." Jesus said, the Mane Six walk over and see Jesus with the dark skinned humans, they went to him, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, Jesus looked at them, "Please go, this is a sanctuary for the dark skinned." Jesus said, "Actually, we're just here to see what's going on." Fluttershy said, "My apologies, my name is Jesus, I am one of the incarnations of God, I have come here to help these people." Jesus replied, "What? What's going on?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Those with dark skin are slaves, taken away from their families back at home, they are forced to do manual labor, and are given beatings or even killed if they make the slightest mistake, I have come to this land to heal them." Jesus replied, the Mane Six were a bit sad to hear what he said, "We'd like to help." Twilight Sparkle said, "Thank you, any help is appreciated." Jesus replied, the Mane Six smiled, and they helped Jesus attend to the slaves, they saw Jesus could heal people by just touching them, which made them look at him with awe, "Sorry, Jesus, but we have to go back, the others are waiting for us." Twilight Sparkle said, "Okay, thank you for your help." Jesus replied, and the Mane Six go back to the hot air balloon and head back to Equestria. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Starlight Glimmer, Sunburst, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Spike, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, Ocean Flow, and Sky Beak were together in Canterlot, they were in a meeting room, Dragon Lord Torch was just small enough to fit in, "Is it true that you all originally served Volvox?" Ocean Flow asked, "Yes, we would've been destroyed if we didn't." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Well, what's he like?" Princess Skystar asked, "Well, things look different now, but back then, Volvox had supreme power, it looks like his authority has been brought down a lot, it looks like he has no authority now." Grampa Gruff replied, "I also don't like the look of those other eight guys with him." Sky Beak said, "Ah, yes, two of them are monsters, the other six are gods." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Gods?! You mean as in gods like Princess Celestia and Princess Luna?" King Thorax asked, Dragon Lord Torch and Grampa Gruff nod, "Yak want Dragon Land and Griffonstone borders to reopen." Prince Rutherford said, "I'm afraid we can't, it's too dangerous right now." Princess Ember replied, "But Twilight was able to get into Volvox's country." Spike said, surprising the other dragons and Grampa Gruff, "Oh right, yes, I sent Twilight and her five friends there through her hot air balloon, I wish for her to gather information on their ways of living." Princess Celestia said, "They will not like what they find." Grampa Gruff replied, "You sure about that?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Very sure." Grampa Gruff replied, the door opened and the Mane Six entered, they went to the others, "Well, how did it go?" Sunburst asked, "I don't like their ways of living." Twilight Sparkle asked, "What don't you like about them, Twilight?" Princess Celestia asked, "First of all, females have no power or authority in their land." Twilight Sparkle replied, "What?!" Princess Luna asked as the other females become offended, "You're saying my status as princess is revoked just because I'm a girl?!" Princess Luna asked, "I'm sorry, but yes." Princess Ember replied, Princess Luna slammed her front hooves on the table, scaring everycreature, "I demand to speak with them, I will not tolerate such injustice!" Princess Luna said angrily, "Luna, calm down." Princess Celestia said, "I'm sorry, but that's how they are, same goes with all politics, all foreign relationships and trade relations with them has to be done and conducted by males." Grampa Gruff replied, "Still, it's not fair." Princess Skystar said, "Agreed, I do not like the thought of losing my status as queen because of my gender." Queen Novo replied, "I agree, too, I don't like that." King Thorax said, "Me neither, my sister, wife, and daughter losing their royalty status just because of their gender is very angering to me." Shining Armor replied, Twilight Sparkle was very touched by his words, "Moving on, another thing I noticed is gender roles, we all already saw what those are." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, they're saying I shouldn't be a Wonderbolt because of my gender, that is totally not cool." Rainbow Dash said, "We'll have to look into it, gender roles are unheard of in this world." Princess Celestia replied, "I have also received word that the fathers have all the power in the family." Twilight Sparkle said, "What?! The father controls the entire family?!" Princess Cadence asked, "Yes, the father or oldest male relative has all the power in the family, their authority cannot be questioned by other family members." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "What about the wife?" Ocean Flow asked, "She has no power whatsoever, she is expected to be obedient to her husband without question, and give him love when he wants it." Grampa Gruff replied, the females were very offended, Princess Luna could just barely conceal her anger, "That is one reason why the dragons and griffons broke away from them, the females are expected to live a life of servitude, as a child, they are expected to serve their father, as a woman, their husband, and as an elder, their son." Dragon Lord Torch said, the females present were extremely offended, King Thorax, Prince Rutherford, Shining Armor, Sunburst, and Sky Beak were angered as well, "Last thing I didn't like is they have slavery, people there are slaves just because of their skin color." Twilight Sparkle said, everybody present was shocked, "It's true, y'all, there are dark skinned folk there, they're bein' taken away from their families and forced to serve the people there against their wills." Applejack said, everycreature there was shocked, "They had them before we broke away, the slaves are treated like trash, tortured, and killed over the slightest misdemeanors." Grampa Gruff said, "We did meet a kind man named Jesus, though, he actually had the power to heal others by touching them, he's hiding them from the people." Fluttershy said, everycreature smiled, "Well, that's pretty much everything." Twilight Sparkle said, "Wait, Twilight, you forgot one." Applejack replied, "Which one was it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The marriage." Applejack replied, Rarity exclaimed with shock, "You all will not believe this, in their country, males marry when they are thirteen years old, while females marry when they are twelve!" Rarity said, making everycreature uncomfortable, "That's too young!" Princess Cadence said, "Yeah, we thought that, too, but they said by their standards, we're old to be single." Pinkie Pie replied, shocking the other creatures, "Well, we still have two more islands to explore." Twilight Sparkle said, "Do not go that island northeast of theirs, it's filled with monsters, they will attack you on sight." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "What about the other island?" Fluttershy asked, "I don't see anything there, it looks barren." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I'm not surprised, that's where the people in Volvox's kingdom get their slaves from." Grampa Gruff replied, "You can also see the island from the Dragon Lands, everything's destroyed." Princess Ember said, "What about the people there?" Fluttershy asked, "We haven't seen any." Princess Ember replied, shocking the other creatures, "Well, I think that is all, we'd still like for the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone to reopen their borders." Princess Celestia said, "That's... going to be a bit difficult, Volvox is like us, he doesn't want you creatures in his feud with us and the griffons." Princess Ember replied, "Can't we just use telekinesis or fly into your countries?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Archers will shoot you down." Grampa Gruff replied, "Oh, right, Ah forgot about them, them arrows could possibly cover all of Equestria." Applejack said, "You shouldn't worry, Applejack, our magic shields should be enough to repel them." Princess Celestia replied, "What about the gods? How strong are they?" Ocean Flow asked, "Very strong, two of them control the sun." Grampa Gruff replied, shocking the other creatures, "One that controls the sun also controls wind, one controls the warriors and enchants them, one controls thunder and the sky, one is a master of war, magic, sorcery, and has all of the knowledge in existence, and the last one controls the world itself." Dragon Lord Torch said, greatly shocking the world's natives, "There's no way we'd stand up against six gods, we'll be annihilated." Applejack said, "Agreed, there is no way we'll win against them in a war." Princess Celestia replied, "What about the other two rulers?" Princess Luna asked, "One controls the afterlife and part of the underworld, and the other one is the father of all monsters." Grampa Gruff replied, "And what does Volvox control?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "All of the underworld and the afterlife." Dragon Lord Torch replied, making everyone uncomfortable, "Let's try to have a peaceful relationship with them for now, it might be difficult, though, but we need the borders of Griffonstone and the Dragon Lands open for that." Princess Celestia said, "Alright, but you guys are on your own if you get attacked." Princess Ember replied, "Let's go, that is all we have to discuss." Princess Celestia said, and everycreature left. The Mane Six were in Twilight Sparkle's castle and five of them were grunting and groaning with extreme irritation, "It's not fair! I can't do what I want in their country because of my gender!" Rainbow Dash said, "No kiddin', talkin' bout me doin' a man's job, farmin' is for women, too." Applejack replied, "Don't get me started on them saying I have to raise sons instead of animals." Fluttershy said, "I have to cook and can't do anything else, that means I can't party!" Pinkie Pie said, "And they said I'm not supposed to have a career, I'm supposed to please my lover, what an unspeakable demand!" Rarity said, "Girls!" Twilight Sparkle said, the five look at her, "I know what they said was not nice, but we still have to respect their ways, and they said we have no power or authority in their land because of our genders, I know this is very frustrating, but there is nothing we can do." Twilight Sparkle said, "What about Princess Celestia, isn't she trying something?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I'm sure she's going to try to talk things out, I hope it all goes well." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they all went home and slept for the day. Three days pass and Griffonstone and the Dragon Lands reopen their borders, the other creatures try to establish relationships with Volvox's island, but they have trouble, especially Equestria and Mount Aris, since their rulers were females, this angered the two countries. The Mane Six go to the Canterlot palace to see how Princess Celestia was doing, they run to her, "Is everything alright, Princess Celestia?" Applejack asked, "I'll admit, I am experiencing an equal amount of anger and frustration as the rest of you, but they won't establish country relations with me because of my gender, I'm sorry to say this to you all, but we are powerless there, Shining Armor is going to have to handle the politics." Princess Celestia replied, the Mane Six were still a bit sad, "That is all I have to say, you all are free to go." Princess Celestia said, and the six left. The Mane Six try to think of something until they hear walking, they saw King Thorax enter, "If you all want to, I can go and try to speak to them on your behalf." King Thorax said, the Mane Six agreed, "Thank you, Thorax, this really means a lot to me." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, I'll be going now, wish me luck." King Thorax replied, and he flies out of the castle to go to Volvox's island. Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream were outside with Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle standing with them, "This isn't fair! I've had it with them and their gender roles!" Silverstream said angrily, "Yeah, me too." Sandbar replied, "I'm sorry, guys, but I tried asking Grampa Gruff about the gender stuff yesterday, he didn't explain it." Gallus said, "What about the dragons?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Nope, Princess Ember tried asking the elder dragons, they don't know, either." Smolder replied, "What did her father say?" Scootaloo asked, "He said it's just how their way of living is." Smolder replied, "But still, why?" Ocellus asked, "He doesn't know, either." Smolder replied, "Ah've been wonderin' if they have school there." Apple Bloom said, "Now that you mention it, I didn't see a school on their island yesterday." Gallus replied, "Well, I hope things go well, I hope Prince Shining Armor can make progress with reasoning with them, what about the hippogriffs, though?" Sandbar asked, "My dad and General Seaspray are going to try to establish relations, if they need another person, Terramar will go." Silverstream replied, "How relationships with them between dragon and griffon?" Yona asked, "We still don't get along." Gallus replied, "Yeah, dragons still don't like them, either." Smolder said, "What about you two?" Sandbar asked, "Yakyakistan neutral, but Prince Rutherford not like slavery." Yona replied, "We're okay with them, but we don't like the fact they have life sacrifices." Ocellus said, "Well, let's hope things go alright between our kind and the hippogriffs." Sandbar said, and the nine all stand together. A ship goes to Volvox's island, Sky Beak, General Seaspray, and other male hippogriffs were on there, they arrive at the southern port of the island, they dock and get off the ship. The hippogriffs walk forward and go to Tom, "Who are you guys?" Tom asked, "I am Sky Beak, the queen's brother-in-law." Sky Beak replied, "I am General Seaspray of the Royal Hippogriff Navy." General Seaspray said, the humans watched them, "We are here to establish relationships with your country, we do not wish for war." Sky Beak said, "It's a bit early to establish trade." Tom replied, "We are not here to establish trade, we are here to make sure to have a friendly relationship with your country." General Seaspray said, "Know to who you speak, I am Tom, king of this country, child of the god Zeus and the goddess Hera." Tom replied, the hippogriffs were uncomfortable, "To invoke my wrath will also invoke the wrath of the gods, so hope we do not become enemies." Tom said, "What about the nine in the pyramids?" Sky Beak asked, "They are just there, we worship them and give them sacrifices for good fortune, I'm the one with all of the power." Tom replied, "So those nine are just worshiped, and have no power?" General Seaspray asked, Tom nods, the dragons and griffons were listening, they were surprised to hear Volvox no longer had any actual authority, "We are just here to establish peaceful relations." Sky Beak said, "Very well, pray you don't get on our bad side." Tom replied, and they signed a paper with a quill, the hippogriffs leave while happy. King Thorax went to them, the humans were happy to see him again, "Hello again, Thorax, always a pleasure to see you." Tom said, the humans agreed, "Actually, I'm here on behalf of Equestria, they are friends with my kingdom, you know." King Thorax replied, "Nope, someone from their kind has to speak with us if they want relationships." Tom said, "I'd figured." King Thorax said under his breath, "By the way, Thorax, we heard from your kind about Queen Chrysalis, we'd like to thank you." Tom said, "For what?" King Thorax asked, "For being living proof that women are not fit to rule." Tom replied, King Thorax was offended; Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Twilight Sparkle, Princess Ember, Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, Ocean Flow, and Silverstream overheard him, they were very angry at the moment. Shining Armor arrived into the kingdom and ran to Tom, "Oh, this is one of the rulers from Equestria." King Thorax said, "You are?" Tom asked, "Shining Armor, prince of Equestria, and captain of the guard." Shining Armor replied, Tom chuckled, "That's how I became ruler." Tom said, "Huh?" Shining Armor asked, "I became king through serving as an officer in the military." Tom replied, "Oh, well, I was hoping Equestria could have peaceful relations with you guys." Shining Armor said, "Sure, I already saw some of your customs, your military is actually very similar to ours." Tom replied, "Wait, it is?" Shining Armor asked, Tom nodded, "Oh, well, I guess I'm done then." Shining Armor said, "I have to get going, too." King Thorax said, "Alright, see you two later." Tom replied, and they left. Equestria, Yakyakistan, the Changeling Kingdom, and Mount Aris had a peaceful but strained relationship with Volvox's kingdom, the main reason was because of their sour relationships with the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone, Volvox ordered everyone not to attack the dragons and griffons because he can tell the ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs will rush to their aid if they do. The humans held King Thorax in high regards due to him overthrowing Queen Chrysalis, which he did not like, Shining Armor was also held in high regard for his tale about overthrowing King Sombra, but not as much as King Thorax. Typhon was with his children while they stood on his pyramid, the other eight were on theirs as well, "The games are about to start, get everything ready and train yourselves." Typhon said, "Yes, father." Typhon's children said, and they jumped off, "Yes, it is that time, isn't it?" Vishnu asked, "Yup, the games begin a few days from now." Volvox replied, and they watch. Jesus has a vision and sees Tom being overthrown, along with his own death, he ran to Tom, "I just had another vision, Tom, your downfall is near." Jesus said, "Impossible, I am a god." Tom replied, "No, you are not, you are just a mere mortal, you're not a child of Zeus and Hera." Jesus said, "Not true, I am invincible, and you will see that your vision is wrong." Tom replied, Jesus just left, he went back to the slaves he was nursing back to health, "I am sorry to say this to you all, but my time is nearly up, the other countries will keep you all safe, I wish you all good luck." Jesus said, the slaves beg for him to stay, "I am afraid I cannot, my destiny is near, I must go, but remember, I will live on in your hearts and memories." Jesus said and he left, the slaves watched sadly. The next day comes and Twilight Sparkle wanted the humans to come to her School of Friendship, the humans look at her with bewilderment, "Don't give me that look." Twilight Sparkle said, "It's wrong for a woman to be educated." a male citizen replied, "No, it's not!" Twilight Sparkle said angrily, "We are not sending our kids to your school." Tom said, "Fine, you all can at least read my friendship lesson books, then." Twilight Sparkle said, and she gave it to them before flying away, the humans saw it was written by the Mane Six, they burn the books since they were written by females, shocking and angering the six who wrote it. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence watched from balconies, they were angered by what they saw. The next day comes and the humans were getting ready for the games, so they were going to give Bishamonten a sacrifice, they were going sacrifice a sheep and a piglet. Fluttershy saw what they were doing and informed her friends, they quickly flew to save the animals, the sheep and piglet cried out with fear. The Mane Six arrive and take the two animals away, "What are you guys doing?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The god of warriors is being given a sacrifice, if it satisfies him, we will have enhanced physical capabilities." a male human said, "No! These animals have feelings too, they don't wish to lose their lives!" Pinkie Pie said, "Their wants are not our concern, they must be sacrificed to the god." Tom replied, "Don't you dare! These poor animals are just babies!" Rarity said, "That is why we chose them to be sacrificed." Tom replied, the sheep and piglet became scared, Fluttershy pulled herself together and was ready to defend them with her life, "No way! You'll have to go through us first!" Rainbow Dash said, "Yeah, there is no way y'all are sacrificin' baby animals, they still have their lives ahead of them." Applejack said, "If you guys are going to do sacrifices, then maybe do the elder animals, since they already lived their lives." Twilight Sparkle said, "You don't know our ways." Tom replied, "You don't know ours, either." Twilight Sparkle said, and the six left with the sheep and piglet, Fluttershy adopted them, Tom sighed and went to get another sheep and pig, they were old and sick, and they were sacrificed. The other countires watched them and their relationships soured more, Princess Celestia did not like the fact that the humans sacrificed other humans and animals to the gods to receive good fortune, just thinking about it disgusted her. The next day comes and several slaves make mistakes while doing their jobs, some men dropped things during manual labor, some women messed up dancing and could not sing right, they were tortured as punishment, some were killed as well, much to the horror of the ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs, while the griffons and dragons watched, they were starting to wonder if Volvox was not ordering it, but rather, it was Tom who ordered them to be hurt. Tom ordered a ship to go out into the sea, six slaves were on there with chains on their feet, four male, and two female, a male soldier drops the metal ball into the water, the six slaves slid across the ship's deck, the slaves went deep into the water while their relatives watched with horror at seeing them being put in the water for them to drown. The hippogriffs and seaponies saw what happened and Ocean Flow screamed with horror at what she saw, the seaponies swam to them while the hippogriffs flew to them. General Seaspray commanded the ships to go to them, Sky Beak and other hippogriffs went into the water to get the slaves, so did the seaponies, they get them out of the water and put them on the ship General Seaspray was on, they were taken to Mount Aris. The hippogriffs nursed them back to health while Ocean Flow came up to the surface, "Is everyone okay?" Ocean Flow asked with worry, they nod, "Silverstream's coming, mom, the ponies are with her." Terramar said, "Good, we need as much as help as we can get." Sky Beak replied, and she arrived with the Mane Six to nurse the slaves back to health. The relationships with Volvox's island soured, Princess Celestia was literally on the verge of declaring war on his kingdom. Four days pass and some of the slaves who were to be executed were sent either tried to be sent to the northeastern island to eaten by the monsters, the dragons and griffons fought the monsters to rescue them and take them into their countries, while the ones who put in the water to drown were rescued by the hippogriffs and seaponies, Princess Celestia had Cloudsdale watch from above while Queen Novo had the Royal Hippogriff Navy patrol the waters, they would attack any ship carrying slaves if they saw one. The ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs hid the dark skinned humans from the light skinned humans, and gave them new lives, they learn that Volvox and the other eight people they worship do not really have any authority, all they do was grant the humans good fortune and protect them from other monsters and demons, it was Tom who created the gender roles and slavery, while the sacrifices were seen as necessary for the six gods to get their powers back when they were low. Volvox noticed the other countries were beginning to dislike Tom's rule, and it was the day the games began, "Everybody, we're going to have to do the games elsewhere today, if they see what we do for games, they will declare war on us." Volvox said, "Well, they're all to the west, so let's do the games to the east this year." Lucifer replied, "Agreed, they should not be able to see what goes on from there." Amun said, "Let's go, then." Odin replied, and everybody goes there. Every single person in Volvox's island went to the east and Vishnu made the Colosseum appear, the nine the people worshiped surrounded it to form a circle on the inside, while Tom sat in a throne under Volvox, he was going to command the games, he had archers surround the Colosseum, they were to shoot at anycreature who tried to see what they were doing, even though the dragons and griffons can clearly see what they were doing. Tom ordered the criminals in the society to be thrown in first, they were stripped of their clothes and had their hands and feet tied, Typhon's children were all in there, they kill the criminals and eat them while the people cheered, "This might be fun to watch." Garble said, the dragons with him agreed and they watch eagerly. The next fights were some of the soldiers fighting to the death, they had swords, shields, armor, spiked gauntlets, and sometimes, horses carrying carriages, every human fought and the battles usually ended when one opponent was killed, the humans cheered while the nine people they worshiped watched stoically. The Nemean Lion decided to fight five humans, their weapons could not harm him, so he ended up eating them alive while the humans cheered. Tom ordered several male slaves to fight the Colchian Dragon, every slave was killed by the dragon. Tom noticed how the male slaves would sacrifice themselves so their wives and children do not receive the cruel treatment they received if they cowered out, so Tom had an idea, he ordered the rest of Typhon's children into the arena, along with Phoenix and Thunderbird, and had the guards put the slaves' children in there instead, shocking the nine rulers and Typhon's children, "Well, fight to the death, let it begin." Tom said, "All of you, stand down." Typhon said, and they do, "What are you guys doing?" Tom asked, "You know the rules, Tom, no women or children, that applies to the slaves as well." Dommiel replied, "Archers, shoot the children." Tom said, some archers did while others stood down, Amun used his powers to blow the arrows away, they begin to turn to stone, "What the?" Tom asked, everybody looks and they saw Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa standing on a cliff on the northeastern island, Catoblepas turned them to stone as well, the Basilisk was staring as well, but the humans looked away from it. Tom looked around and sighed, "Cancel the games, they're not the only ones ready to attack." Tom said, the humans look and saw Princess Ember was ready to lead the dragons to attack them if they try to have children killed for sport, so did Grampa Gruff, Dragon Lord Torch was ready to fight as well, "Yeah, let's cancel, we're already on the verge of going to war with the other countries." Volvox said, the humans groaned with disappointment while the children and their parents were relieved, while the nine they worshiped, Dommiel, Typhon's children, Phoenix, and Thunderbird felt indifferent to it. Jesus went to Equestria to help the slaves there, he healed them by touching them, the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, Starlight Glimmer, Sunburst, Spike, and the rulers of Equestria, Yakyakistan, the Changeling Kingdom, and Mount Aris came to see him, "Thank you, Jesus, I really appreciate your help with healing these people." Princess Celestia said, "I have tried my best to heal them all, they have suffered a lot, almost all of these dark skinned folk have lost a family member in Tom's kingdom." Jesus replied, a slave with scars from whipping on his back went to Jesus, he touched him to heal him, "How are you all doing in these areas?" Jesus asked, "They are friendly, and kind, they treat us as people rather than savages." a male dark skinned person replied, "Good, I was worried your countries had slavery, too." Jesus said, "Of course not, we teach friendship, slavery has no place in our countries." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Can you teach us, Jesus?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Yeah, pretty please?" Scootaloo asked, "I am sorry, but my time to live is almost up." Jesus replied, he notices something and has a vision, he sees two bad things were about to happen in Tom's kingdom, and he will have to sacrifice himself to prevent one, "What did you see, Jesus?" a male dark skinned human asked, "Can he see something?" Princess Luna asked, "Jesus is a prophet, he has visions of the future from time to time." a female dark skinned human replied, surprising the world's natives, Princess Celestia walked to him, "Jesus, please, tell us, what did you see?" Princess Celestia asked, "All of the dark skinned people from the southeastern island is about to be brought to Volvox's island soon, and rather than being enslaved, Tom is going to go through with his original plan, he is going to gather up all of the dark skinned people on the island and execute them, I am going to have to sacrifice myself to prevent it from happening." Jesus replied, the creatures gasp, "No, please, let us speak with him." King Thorax said, "He is not going to listen." Jesus replied, "What if we sacrifice ourselves instead?" Prince Rutherford asked, "It will not work, he will execute them all, anyway, it has to be me." Jesus replied, "Why?" Princess Luna asked, "Tom and I have never gotten along, I'm his only enemy in the kingdom, with me gone, he will think he will rule supreme with no more enemies." Jesus replied, "Is there anythin' else, Jesus?" Apple Bloom asked, "Another omen is going to come, this one will be Tom's downfall, to you dark skinned people, Humbaba's brother will rise shortly after my sacrifice." Jesus replied, the dark skinned humans were surprised, "Wait, who's Humbaba?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "When the light skinned humans made an alliance to Volvox to take us down, we were enslaved, Humbaba's attention was caught, he attacked the island and tried to free us, but Volvox and the other eight were determined to defend their own land, and fought back, they ended up killing him, Tom continued the slavery and gender roles that have been going on before it, and now, his brother is rising an army to attack them and hopes of freeing us, and avenging his brother." a male dark skinned human replied, surprising the world's natives, "I am sorry, but I will not be around for when Tom's rule is over, I am entrusting you all to keep them safe from the cruelties of slavery." Jesus said, "Don't worry, Jesus, we will." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Thank you, I must go now." Jesus said, and he walks across the water and back into Volvox's island. Slave ships dock and more dark skinned slaves come into the country, "This is the last of the dark skinned people on that island, we checked the whole island, there's literally no one on there now." a male captain said, "Good, gather all of the slaves." Tom replied, and every slave in the country was gathered together, the slaves and citizens were confused, "All archers, fire." Tom said, the citizens and slaves look at him with confusion, "Your majesty, what are you doing?" a male soldier asked, "Did you think I was going to keep these slaves in the kingdom? As soon as all of these dark skinned savages were here, I was going to have them all executed, and the time to do that is now." Tom replied, shocking the slaves and they tried to break free, "Wait!" Jesus said, the humans step to the sides as Jesus walked to in front of Tom, "I offer you a deal, Tom." Jesus said, "What is it?" Tom asked, "In exchange for the slaves and their freedom, I offer you my life." Jesus replied, shocking everybody, "What are you saying?" Tom asked, "Take my life instead, but in exchange, you must spare the slaves and free them, I want you to promise me." Jesus replied, the dark skinned humans were shocked by what he said, Tom thought about it and smiled, "Very well, getting rid of my one enemy is better than getting rid of those who cannot stand up against me, and I'll spare and free the slaves, I promise you with all of my heart." Tom said, and he ordered his soldiers to take Jesus' robe off, "Of course, those who try to rebel me get the most painful execution of my kingdom, crucifixion, but I'll make yours extra painful since you have stood against me for a long time, I have waited long for this day." Tom said, and he orders his soldiers to put Jesus on a brown wooden cross, he is placed on it with nails being hammered into his wrists, the ponies gasp at what they saw, Jesus screamed while the slaves tried to run to help, "No, stay back, Tom will kill you if you intervene, this is the only way." Jesus said, he was then whipped on his back, the world's natives look away he grunts and tries to endure the pain, Tom then ordered the crown of thorns to be put on his head, the world's natives looked away and cringed at hearing Jesus scream, nails were then hammered into his feet, Jesus did not respond, everyone thought he was dead, but Tom ordered them to make sure, and had a soldier stab a spear into his side, to his heart, Jesus did not respond. The slaves looked on at seeing Jesus, some of them began to cry, "Okay, now kill the slaves." Tom said, the slaves screamed in horror, but they were stopped by Bishamonten, "Tom, you promised to let them go." Volvox said, "So what? It's my kingdom, my rules." Tom replied, "Doesn't matter, a promise is a promise." Volvox said, "Like it maters." Tom replied, "Tom, if you do not keep your promise, I will destroy you personally." Zeus said, Tom became scared, "Yes, father." Tom replied, surprising the world's natives, "Father?" Rarity asked with confusion, "Well, go on, you all are free." Dommiel said, and the dark skinned humans begin to leave. Heavy wind begins blowing to the southwest and the humans braced themselves, "It's that wind that brought us here." Lucifer said, "Humbaba's brother must be ready to attack." Amun replied, and winged monsters appeared at the southeastern island, a demon was leading them, the world's natives found his appearance a bit uneasy, he had the body of a human, his face was a combination of lion's face and a dog's face, he had eagle talons, two pairs of eagle wings, and a scorpion's tail, "I am here in the name of vengeance, you enslaved my people, and killed my brother." the demon said, "You finally appeared, Pazuzu." Volvox said in a deadpan tone, Pazuzu used aerokinesis and electrokinesis, he blew the humans away to the southwest, he made thunder strikes hit Volvox's island, his demons flew to their island. Phoenix and Thunderbird fly to them to attack Pazuzu, but he used his wind powers to blow Phoenix's fire out, and his lightning powers to control Thunderbird. Zeus tried throwing lightning bolts at Pazuzu, he was immune to the attacks, so Zeus had no choice but to stand down, but he did try to contact the other gods to help. Odin rode Sleipnir into battle with portals opening and the Valkyries appearing behind him, they rode on horses as well, the ponies were shocked to see them. Odin orders the Valkyries to throw spears at Pazuzu, they hit his demons instead and they fell into the water, Pazuzu used his wind powers again to blow the spears to the southwest, he makes rain appear with hand gestures and then has locusts appear, they fly to the Valkyries to distract them, Pazuzu's demons attacked them while they were distracted. The sun glows and two beams of fire come out, Amun and Huitzilopochtli shoot the fire to Pazuzu, but he flies up and dodges it, he tries to blow them away with his wind powers, but Amun cancels it out with his own wind powers, he and Huitzilopochtli burn his winged demons and they fall. Archers begin shooting at Pazuzu, he sees Bishamonten was controlling them, he blows away the arrows with his wind powers, he makes lightning fall to strike the humans, but Zeus absorbed them into himself, he was not able to contact the other gods. Pazuzu was holding his ground until his winged demons began attacking one another, "What the? What are you guys doing?" Pazuzu asked, he saw other demons attack his own, he looks and saw Lucifer commanding them, he realized he was making the winged demons attack one another due to them being proud of what they are, and how strong they were, and wanting to prove they are better than the other, Pazuzu growls while he looks at Lucifer. Lucifer's eyes glow yellow and it blinds Pazuzu, he grunts and was nearly blinded, his demons fall and Typhon's children begin attacking them, some of them ate them. Vishnu begins to make the demons disappear from existence, he also revived the deceased humans, and made the locusts disappear, Pazuzu was scared of Vishnu, he was the strongest god on Volvox's island, his powers had no limit. Pazuzu tried to strike him with lightning, it did nothing, neither did his wind powers. Vishnu made the Valkyries become revived, and Pazuzu's winged demons began to fall. Typhon made himself appear at his full size, it scared the world's natives, they were also scared at the fact that he had one hundred heads, and he was made of snakes from the waist down, Typhon shoots out three hundred fire blasts, one from each eye and mouth, Pazuzu blew them away with his wind powers, but Typhon blew it back with his own wind powers, he was hit by all three hundred of them, he grunted and used his powers to blow the fire off of himself, Typhon snickered while Pazuzu struggled to put the fire out. Dommiel used his shadow powers to make himself grow, he had wings now, and his body stretched out with black shadows acting as his new body, his appearance scared Pazuzu's demons, Dommiel's helmet came off, revealing a human skull, which was not his real face, black tentacles come out of his eyes and change to tree branches, which disturbed the winged demons, Dommiel made a scythe appear and he began slashing Pazuzu's demons, but they ganged up on him and brought him down. Volvox saw it was going to take a while, so he decided to take action, he stood on his hind legs, his six eyes glowed orange, an orange sphere appeared on the bottom of his front feet, an orange sphere also appeared on the tips of his five toes that made up his front feet, and an orange sphere was in each of his three mouths, the twenty two spheres then release small orange hellfire beams everywhere, horrifying the world's natives as they hit and destroyed everything. Pazuzu's demons burn to death as Volvox's hellfire beams hit them, Pazuzu looked around in shock at seeing them fall, Volvox stopped the attack and Pazuzu was the only one left, "Stand down, Pazuzu, your people are free." Volvox said, "That's not enough, you killed my brother." Pazuzu replied, "We were just merely defending our home." Zeus said, "He wouldn't have attacked if you guys didn't enslave our people." Pazuzu replied, "That was the humans' idea, we don't have any actual power anymore." Bishamonten said, "Wait, it was?" Pazuzu asked, the nine nod, "Bring me the ruler, then." Pazuzu said, the nine look and see Tom, "Oh, never mind, the ruler's dead." Volvox said, Pazuzu looked and saw Tom's dead body, "I'm still going to avenge my brother." Pazuzu said, Volvox held his front left leg up and shot an orange hellfire blast out of his foot, it obliterated Pazuzu and he screamed, "Well, it looks like it's time to start over." Lucifer said, "Agreed." Vishnu replied, and he undid the damage Pazuzu caused, "Okay, now to deal with the traitors." Typhon said, the nine except for Volvox got ready to attack the griffons and dragons, "Wait, stand down." Volvox said, and they look at him with confusion, "Look." Volvox said, and they saw the ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs were ready to attack them if they attack the griffons and dragons, "We're gods, we can take them." Odin said, "That is not the point, if we do attack, we will have to fight them as well, which will destroy this world, which will get the Maker involved, and it will destroy us, and you guys don't want that, do you?" Volvox asked, they saw his point and stood down, the world's natives smiled, "So, what now?" a male citizen asked, "It's time for you guys to appoint a new ruler." Volvox replied, "That's easy, Tom's son." a soldier said, "Guys, Tom doesn't have any relatives, his wife got killed by Pazuzu, too, it's time for you to appoint someone new." Volvox replied, the humans were confused, "We will decide the new ruler." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans did not mind, "Very well." Volvox replied, and they all get on with their days. An hour passes and the Mane Six, rulers of Equestria, and King Thorax went to go see Jesus, "Jesus, dear." Rarity said, but they all stopped, they saw Jesus was dead, the Mane Six except for Rainbow Dash and Applejack began to cry, they all saw Princess Celestia had tears in her eyes as well, but she tried to keep herself together, "Pay your respects to him, my little ponies, he committed the ultimate act of friendship, he sacrificed himself so those treated unfairly would be spared and freed." Princess Celestia said while crying a bit, the dark skinned humans went to the crucified Jesus and they began to cry, so did the ponies and King Thorax, the Young Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, other ponies, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs came over and cried over his body, but Rainbow Dash did not cry, she looked on sadly, so did the dragons and griffons, Applejack held her hat to her own chest, she closed her eyes, but did not cry, they all stood there and grieved over him for the rest of the day. Vishnu would revive him, but God in Heaven said he did not wish to be revived as another mortal. A few days pass and the world's natives chose the new ruler for the humans, it was a female, "To everybody, my name is Emilia, I am new to this role, so do not be harsh on my mistakes." the female said, "Okay, I hope you all like your new ruler." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, but why a female for?" a male citizen asked, "Because I've had it with the gender roles." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, I think your fellow males would disagree." a soldier said, "No." King Thorax said, and they saw male ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs, "Us, males are tired of the gender roles, too." Shining Armor said, surprising the male citizens, "You all are welcome to our countries, but to you light skinned people, if you treat the dark skinned people poorly like how you did when they were slaves, you all will receive very harsh punishments, I will also like the people who have took the life of a slave to come with me as well." Princess Celestia said, and the ones who did went with her, she punished them severely, Princess Luna punished those who treated them badly, and Princess Cadence punished the ones who took the slaves away from their homes and brought them into their kingdom to be slaves, Volvox and the other eight remained neutral again. A few days pass and the humans began attending the School of Friendship, but the light skinned humans only let the boys enter, which caused Twilight Sparkle to have a talk with them, "Everyone, I understand you all are still adjusting, but this is not how we do things." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, you said you wanted our children to have an education, and we sent them." a human mother replied, "Not just boys, I want girls in the school, too." Twilight Sparkle said, surprising the light skinned humans, "Well, send them over." Twilight Sparkle said, and they did. The world's natives also tried to change things with the gender roles, they had the males do what the females did and vice versa, some enjoyed them, some did not, and they continued living. A lot of the dark skinned humans worked on farms since manual labor was the only thing they knew, some struggled due to the torture they received, the ones working at Sweet Apple Acres had trouble due to their injuries, "Take it nice and easy now, don't push yerself." Applejack said, Apple Bloom also helped guide the injured humans, "Y'all need a break?" Apple Bloom asked, the dark skinned humans said no but thanked her, "Y'all startin' to remind me of myself." Granny Smith said, she would tell stories about her younger days to the human kids, which they enjoyed, "Everythin' alright, Big Mac." Applejack asked, "Eeyup." Big Macintosh replied as he helped the humans move heavy objects. Rarity had the dark skinned humans try sewing, the females got it done easily, but the males had trouble, "No, like this." Sweetie Belle said as she showed them, she was having fun with the humans, "Darling, don't push yourself." Rarity said, they saw a male human fall, he had less energy due to the torture he received, "Sweetie Belle, get the injured people here, I think a massage at the spa will help them with their injuries." Rarity said, and Sweetie Belle did, Rarity took them to get massages. The humans made a holiday, it was every year on the day Jesus sacrificed himself, the dark skinned humans grieved over his death that day every year, so did the world's natives, Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle made memorials in his memory in their homes, his death still saddened them every year, no matter how much time passed, it became a worldwide holiday and everycreature grieved on that day every year. The rulers of the world helped Emilia govern her people, and the humans remained on the land, slavery, gender roles, and human and animal sacrifices were abolished, the humans lived with the other creatures for years to come while Volvox and the other eight watched them grow, the six gods found another way to get their powers back, prayer, they watch and see the humans live with the other creatures and evolve for years to come.
ArtisticVolvox was the first being to ever exist on Earth that was created by the gods and the Maker, he acted on his own during the time of dragons and dinosaurs, and the time of angels and demons, Volvox met Dommiel during that time, who became his best friend, they also had many different creatures roam the Earth, the two manage to befriend a ghoul named Giovi, who lost his claws in battle and replaced them with knife blades, he chose not to speak, believing actions were more powerful than words. The gods eventually created a new species together called the humans, and since Volvox was the most powerful being on the Earth, they entrusted him to take control of their evolution, which Volvox would be their supreme ruler. Volvox disliked how dangerous the world was with the other creatures making weapons and armor, along with building things for protection, he wanted people to be more creative, so he had the humans develop in visual arts, theater arts, culinary arts, performing arts, fashion, architecture, music, religion, philosophy, and many more aesthetics. The gods were very impressed with Volvox, they also gave the humans knowledge in magic to help them improve their arts, one human came from the future, he created a potion that made him immortal and gave him the ability to travel through time, he was the Count of Saint Germain, while the oldest human in the country was Tom, he was worshiped as a god due to his age and wisdom, he wore a yellow dragon robe, a black mian guan with strings attached to the front and back of the top, with beads and pearls on the strings, the front and back each had twelve strings, he also wore white pants, they were tucked into black mid-calf length boots with decorations of gold dragons on them, and he had peach skin, a round face shape, blue eyes, long white hair, and a long white beard that went down past his sternum, it was connected to sideburns and a full moustache. The Count of Saint Germain had an inverted triangular face, somewhat pale skin, straight bright blond hair that went down to his scapulae, a full, well trimmed and groomed moustache, and green eyes, he was wearing a black top hat, a red double breasted long-sleeve tailcoat with black buttons on each side and was undone and black on the inside, and had a white double folded pocket square in the pocket on the left side of his tailcoat, he also wore a black buttoned up vest with gold buttons, a collar of a white shirt could be seen at the top of his vest, a black ascot with white polka dots was tucked into his shirt, he had two gold chains on the right side of his abdomen, and two silver chains on the left side of his waist, he was wearing white striped pants, and white shoes with black throats, vamps, toe caps, and heels, it was tightened by a gold strap going across the throat. Volvox did not wear any fancy outfits while Dommiel and Giovi wore their usual attire, they liked how creative the humans were, they were the most peaceful nation in the land, the humans held a vote and decided to call the nation Vinci, their creations made them one of the most powerful nations on Earth, Volvox had a big wall surround Vinci to protect it from harm. Volvox and the meditating humans sense something off and their land was being transferred, "Everybody, get ready to protect your creation from damage." Volvox said, and they were transferred. The people of Equestria were getting on with their days, but they hear a noise in the sea that was to the northeast of Canterlot and southeast of the Crystal Empire, Vinci appeared right before their eyes, the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs look at it with curiosity, the kirins and buffaloes saw it as well, but mostly ignored it, they could not see anything due to the wall around it, it was mostly gray, but was decorated with sculptures of pink roses and green vines, "Oh, I must say those flower decorations are quite pretty." Rarity said, "Hey, look above the wall." Spike said, and they all saw tall architecture above them, "Wow, they look diverse." Fluttershy said, the others nodded. A white cloud comes down and goes to Canterlot's balcony, where Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were at, the cloud formed into Hermes, which surprised the ponies, "I am Hermes, the messenger of the gods, that nation there was transferred here due to a magic spell gone wrong on our part." Hermes said, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna laughed, "We apologize for the inconvenience." Hermes said, "It's alright, I think having them here gives us a wonderful opportunity to make new friends." Princess Celestia said, Hermes just bowed, "Well, go on and fix it, we have no complaints." Princess Celestia said, and Hermes went back up into the sky. The world's natives look at Vinci and were curious about what was on the inside, "I wanna see what's inside." Pinkie Pie said, "We all do, Pinkie." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I see a lot right now, and it looks awesome!" Rainbow Dash said, they all still wondered about how it looked as a whole, Hermes floated in the sky and was above Vinci, much bigger than before, "Volvox!" Hermes said, Volvox came out and stood on the ceiling, everycreature was shocked to see the giant three headed creature, "What is it?" Volvox asked, "I'm sorry to say this, but since you're in a new world, you have to take the wall down, you will draw suspicion upon yourself if you don't." Hermes replied, "Oh, fine." Volvox said, and Hermes went back up into the sky. The wall divides into four and goes into the water and reveals Vinci to the world's natives, they all gasp and look with awe, the north of Vinci had the Great Wall with the Sistine Chapel behind it, the northwest had the Great Pyramid of Giza and smaller pyramids, the Statue of Liberty, the Big Ben clock tower, and the Eiffel Tower, the northeast had the Burj Khalifa, Moai, and the Leshan Giant Buddha, the east had the Taj Mahal, the west had the Parthenon, the southeast had Angkor Wat, Seitenkyū, Al-Khazneh, and Prambanan, the southwest had the Sedlec Ossuary, the Terracotta Army, and Notre-Dame de Paris, the south had the Colosseum, and the center of Vinci had El Castillo, which Volvox was standing on. The world's natives look at the place with awe at what they saw, "Wow, that place is beautiful." Twilight Sparkle said, "Come on, let's go." Rainbow Dash said, and they all enter the hot air balloon and head to Vinci. The Mane Six and Spike look and see the other creatures were going over to view the place, even Princess Celestia and Princess Luna wanted to look, they fly over and see many more things, they saw highly decorated vases and pots of different shapes and colors, many different forms of writing, they saw regular writing, along with hieroglyphs, calligraphy with a quill, pens, and brushes, sculptures of Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Apollo, Athena, Hermes, Amun, Ra, Sobek, Anubis, Odin, Frigg, Thor, Loki, Gautama Buddha, Agyō, Ungyō, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Susanoo, Ebisu, Daikokuten, Bishamonten, Benzaiten, Jurōjin, Hotei, Fukurokuju, Inti, Huitzilopochtli, Quetzalcoatl, Tabaldak, Glooscap, and Gitche Manitou. The humans had many paintings, books, drawings, pots, foods and drinks to consume, scrolls, and musical instruments, everybody also wore a diverse amount of clothing. The world's natives were in awe and wanted to explore already, "WOW!!" Silverstream said excitedly, "My goodness, Equestria has never seen such magnificence in artwork." Princess Celestia said, "Hey, Volvox, look at all of the visitors." Dommiel said, "I know, I see them." Volvox replied, the humans continued with their days, the world's natives continue looking on with awe, "Eh, it's alright." Grampa Gruff said, "Hey!" Princess Ember said, the humans look at her, "Do you guys have any armor?" Princess Ember asked, several humans come and they all had knight and samurai armor, each one was decorated with coat of arms and family emblems, much to the world's natives surprises, "Oh my, even their armor is fashionable." Rarity said, "I think this place might be worth checking out." Princess Ember said, the others agree, "Okay, just don't break anything." Volvox said, and the world's natives go down to explore. Twilight Sparkle flies around and looks for books, she was hoping to learn their literature, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans look at her, "Do you have any books I can read?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "My, of course, this way." a male human replied, and he takes her to a library, Twilight Sparkle was in awe, "Wow, you guys actually read a lot."

So many books! Spike, get the books, I'm ready to read all of them!" Twilight Sparkle said, the humans chuckle, "Alright, Twilight, I'm here." Spike said, and he got every book, Twilight Sparkle and Spike fly home and Twilight Sparkle begins reading. Rainbow Dash looked at the military personnel and liked their armor, "Your uniforms look so cool." Rainbow Dash said, the knights and samurais laugh, "Take a look at this." a male samurai said, and he unsheathed his katana, Rainbow Dash looks and sees the samurai had kanji characters engraved in his sword's blade, "Wow!" Rainbow Dash said, the humans show her their weapons and she sees they had vines and flowers engraved in the blades as well, she looks and sees the predatory animals decorated on the shields of the knights as well, "How long did it take for you guys to make them?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Long time, sometimes years." a male knight replied, "I wanna see all of them." Rainbow Dash said, and they show her and the engravings in their swords, spears, axes, and hammers, there was also decorations engraved on metallic handles, and the wooden parts of each weapon had carvings on them, Rainbow Dash was impressed, "That is so cool." Rainbow Dash said, the humans then show her their armor and she looks at the decorations on them as well.

Fluttershy said, the humans look at her, "Do you all need any help?" Fluttershy asked, the humans agree, "You can help by feeding and grooming the animals." a female human replied, and Fluttershy went over. Fluttershy begins to take care of the animals and groom them, she spoke to them in a soft and friendly voice, the animals loved her, "Wow, you're actually pretty good at this." a second female human said, "Thank you, I run an animal shelter at my cottage." Fluttershy replied, "That explains a lot." a third female human said, "Are there anymore animals that need tending?" Fluttershy asked, "Yes, over here, ma'am." a male human replied, Fluttershy sees him and goes to help him tend to the dogs. Pinkie Pie was looking at the sweets and food art of the place, "Ooh, chocolate art." Pinkie Pie said as she looked at the chocolates being shaped and molded into various pictures such as butterflies, animals, and even life sized sculptures of people and objects. Pinkie Pie keeps looking and was in awe when she saw humans carving art into watermelons, she also saw fruits and vegetables being cut and carved to form shapes like flowers and animal heads on the plates, she looks and saw cappuccino coffee with various faces and shapes in them, Pinkie Pie was having so much fun looking around, she sees the humans making them and trots to them, "Excuse me." Pinkie Pie said, the humans look at her, "Where are all of the cakes, pies, and candy at?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Ah, you want the confectionery area over there." a male human replied as he pointed his left index finger, Pinkie Pie turns around and sees many different shapes, forms, and colors of cakes, Pinkie Pie gasped at what she saw and ran there. The humans work and Pinkie Pie dashed in, she looks at the sweets and admired them, her mouth watered, "Hey! Careful!" a male human said as he ran to her and closed her mouth, "If you're hungry, you can eat those on the table over there." the male human said, Pinkie Pie looks to her left and saw small samples of the food they used for art, Pinkie Pie's mouth stopped watering, she stopped smiling as well, "Those don't look appetizing." Pinkie Pie said, "They're the same food we use to make the art, they taste the same." the male human replied, Pinkie Pie was reluctant, but tried the food samples, "Hmm, tasty." Pinkie Pie said, and she ate the samples, "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!" another male human said really quickly and held Pinkie Pie back, "Hey!" Pinkie Pie said, "Don't eat all of it, there are other people who want to try them out, too." the second male human replied, Pinkie Pie became embarrassed at the moment, but she went back and tried several samples.

Rarity said, "Well, hello, we can always use more fashion designers." a male human replied, "Oh my, what a fancy outfit you're wearing." Rarity said as she looked at his well groomed curly hair, red double breasted tailcoat, white ascot, dark yellow striped shirt, white pants that went just below his knees, white tights under his pants, and black shoes with red ribbons on them, he had a white top hat in his left hand, and a brown cane in his right hand, "What you're looking at there is called a dandy, there are more over there." the female human replied, Rarity sees them and they all had on similar outfits, some also had umbrellas, Rarity chuckled, "My, what diversity." Rarity said, but she stops when she saw several humans wearing neck rings and lip plates, she was uncomfortable, "I can't say I like those neck and lip things there." Rarity said, she looks around more and saw several people also had elongated earlobes, which made her very uncomfortable, "Um, darlings, I'm going to go elsewhere now." Rarity said, and she left while the humans said bye to her. Applejack travels around and went to go look at the gardens that were everywhere on the ground, she was going to an arboretum, she was enjoying the many types of trees there were, "Hey, where are the apple trees, y'all." Applejack asked, "Over there, to your left." a female woman replied as she pointed there with her right index finger, Applejack looks and sees apple trees, along with many other trees that had other fruits on them. Applejack looks at the trees and was in awe, "Wow, Ah've never seen such pretty trees in mah life." Applejack said, she continues looking and sees a garden up ahead, she saw flowers, vegetables, rocks, stepping stones in water, and lampposts made out of stone with candles in them, "Ah gotta say, them gardens are very pretty." Applejack said, "It's better if you see it from high ground. This way." a male human replied, and he takes Applejack to a deck that was nearby, Applejack looks and sees the plants and food in the gardens were planted in specific ways so they make shapes and words when seen from above, "Whoa, Ah've never seen plants used like that before." Applejack said, "I didn't think so, it takes years of practice to master." the male human replied, "Ah'd reckon, but it doesn't seem practical, y'all gotta eat." Applejack said, "That's the beauty of our garden, once when we pick the food, the open tops will create a new picture." the male human replied, Applejack smiled as she looked and admired the gardens from above. Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle travel together and see kids working, they trot to them, "What are y'all doin'?" Apple Bloom asked, the kids move aside and show them the artwork on the manholes, "These are the sewers for getting rid of the pee and poop everybody creates, we're drawing pictures onto them." a boy replied, "Can I try?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Come with us, let's see if we can find a manhole with no artwork on it." a girl replied, and they travel together, "Here's one." a second girl said, and they see it, the kids give Sweetie Belle and paintbrush and paint, "Thank you." Sweetie Belle said, and she begins using telekinesis to paint, "You have telekinesis?" a second boy asked, "Yes." Sweetie Belle replied, "I can walk on clouds." Scootaloo said, "And Ah have enhanced strength and growing food magic." Apple Bloom said, "That's cool, we built those big buildings by using telekinesis, we also have fire, water, earth, and wind magic." a third girl replied, Sweetie Belle begins painting the manhole cover, "Finished." Sweetie Belle said, and they all see it was a picture of Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle, the three were smiling in the picture, "Wow, you're a good painter." the first girl said, "Thank you." Sweetie Belle replied, "Can we try?" Scootaloo asked, "Sure, come on, let's see if we can find anymore manholes to paint." the first boy replied, and they walk together. Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream walk around together and admire the views, "Wow, this must've took years to complete." Sandbar said, "It's fancier than Griffonstone, I'll give it that." Gallus replied, "Ooh, ooh, look at those two statues over there." Silverstream said, and they all see the statues of Agyō and Ungyō, "Ooh, Yona like statues." Yona said, Ocellus jumps back and yelps, "What is it, Ocellus?" Sandbar asked, he looks at where she looked and says "Whoa!" as he jumped back, the other four look and see small statues of Papa Legba, Baron Samedi, Baron Cimitière, Baron La Croix, Baron Kriminel, Maman Brigitte, Elegua, Ibeji, Ìyá Nlá, Nana Buluku, Orunmila, Oshosi, Oshun, Oshunmare, Agwé, Bacalou, Belie Belcan, Anaisa Pye, Damballa, Ghede Nibo, Gran Maître, Grand Bois, and Kalfu, "Wow, those actually look kind of scary." Smolder said, "Tell me about it, these might give me nightmares." Sandbar replied, "But look at the details, and how small they are, isn't it amazing?" Silverstream asked, they all look and see each statue was so small, they could literally be destroyed by stepping on them, "Yona must admit, statue making is impressive." Yona said, "I still wonder why they had to make them look so scary." Ocellus replied, "Maybe it's a test of nerves." Smolder said, "Come on, let's look for more." Sandbar said, the others agree and they decide to look around for more small statues. Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst trot together and admire the sculptures all around Vinci, "Wow, I can't imagine how much time must've been put into to make these." Starlight Glimmer said, they look at the Bust of Nefertiti and thought it was beautiful, the next sculpture they see was Laocoön and His Sons, "That guy doesn't look comfortable." Sunburst said, "Yeah, it looks like he's in pain, it's actually kind of hard for me to look at." Starlight Glimmer replied, Sunburst nodded in agreement, the two walk around and see Moses, "Does he have horns on his head?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Yeah, he does, small ones, though, almost like baby yak horns." Sunburst replied, and they look for the next one and see David, "That sculpture wouldn't be allowed in Equestria." Sunburst said, "They might want to cover him with something." Starlight Glimmer replied, and they keep looking, they look at the Leshan Giant Buddha, even though it was far away, "I can't imagine how long it must've took to build that." Starlight Glimmer said, "Me neither, probably longer than Princess Celestia has been alive." Sunburst replied, they look around and see the Statue of Liberty next, also far away, "I bet that took a long time to build, too." Sunburst said, Starlight Glimmer nodded, they turn around and see a sculpture of The Kiss, "Aw, that looks so romantic." Starlight Glimmer said, Sunburst smiled, they see a sculpture of The Thinker beside it, "He looks like he's thinking." Sunburst said, "About what, though?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Who knows, maybe he's just thinking in general." Sunburst replied, Starlight Glimmer smiled and they continue walking around to admire the views around them even more. Autumn Blaze was excited and she trotted across the water to go see Vinci, but she stopped when she saw sculptures underwater, "Whoa." Autumn Blaze said with awe as she looked down at the sculptures, she walks forward slowly while admiring the sculptures under the country, "What'cha doin', Autumn Blaze?" Applejack asked, startling Autumn Blaze, "Whoa! Don't scare me like that. There's more artwork under the water." Autumn Blaze replied, "Really?" Applejack asked, Autumn Blaze nodded excitedly, Applejack looks down and sees small parts of them, "Wow, Ah didn't think they'd have that, Ah'll let ya get back to yer admirin, then." Applejack said, "Thanks." Autumn Blaze replied, and Applejack left. Autumn Blaze walks around and looks at the underwater art, she was in awe at what she saw, "Hey!" a male human said, Autumn Blaze yelps with surprise, "You almost stepped on the water lilies." the male human said, Autumn Blaze looks and see them, they had pink flowers on them, "Aw, they are so cute." Autumn Blaze said, and she continues looking around and admiring the underwater art. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna went to go look at the Terracotta Army, "What do you think, sister?" Princess Luna asked, "I'm baffled, I've never seen artwork like this before." Princess Celestia replied, "Me neither, I can't imagine how long this must've took to make." Princess Luna said, "Well, whoever did did a great job." Princess Celestia replied, Princess Luna could not agree more, they continue to admire the Terracotta Army and wondered if the country really had an army that big in the past, "Excuse me." Princess Celestia said as she saw the Count of Saint Germain walking by, he walks to her, "Yes?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "How many of these soldiers are there?" Princess Celestia asked, "Over eight thousand, they are built to defend the deceased in the afterlife." the Count of Saint Germain replied, the two look at the Terracotta Army with surprise, "Look, sister, I see horses and chariots in the back, too." Princess Luna said, she looks and was surprised, "Wow, I must admit, you all did a great job creating these, it'd take us years to make this, even with magic." Princess Celestia said, Princess Luna chuckles and they continue admiring the Terracotta Army. The day was coming to an end and everycreature gathered around Volvox, "Are you the ruler, Volvox?" Princess Celestia asked, "Yes, I have others to help me." Volvox replied, "Who else is in charge?" Shining Armor asked, "I am as well, name's Dommiel, I am Volvox's bodyguard and second-in-command." Dommiel replied, "You look very different from the others." Applejack said, "That's because I'm a surviving member of another time period, I'm a demon, most of my kind are extinct." Dommiel replied, surprising the world's natives, "Who else is in charge?" Princess Ember asked, "Giovi over there, he's from another country, he looks different because of his own culture, he's a quiet one, and lets his actions do the talking." Volvox replied, "I am the Count of Saint Germain, I am the one who gave the people knowledge in magic, I am a time traveler from the future." the Count of Saint Germain said, surprising the world's natives, "My, Saint Germain, what an exquisite outfit you're wearing." Rarity said happily, "I am Tom, I take care of the daily activities in this country, I am worshiped as a god due to me being the oldest native in this country." Tom said, "Tom? Are you wearing a dress?" Rarity asked with surprise, "No, it's a robe, you can see my pants at the bottom of it." Tom replied, Rarity looks and saw part of his white pants that he wore under the robe, "Oh, I see, darling, I really do like that hat." Rarity said, Tom smiled, "This is a wonderful country, we would like to establish relationships." Princess Celestia said, "I'll have to hold a vote first, you all are welcome here for now, but be careful not to break anything, and watch that baby there, last thing we need is that baby destroying the things we built." Volvox replied while he pointed his front right index claw to Flurry Heart, "Understood, we'll try our best to keep an eye on her." Shining Armor said, "You better, or there will be consequences." Volvox replied, "Come on, everycreature, it's late, we should go home." Princess Celestia said, they agree and all head home. Princess Luna enters the dream realm and saw everypony dream of the things in Vinci, she was enjoying the sights, "Ah, what lovely dreams." Princess Luna said, she smiles and goes through the dreams, she sees a foal had a dream of the painting The Starry Night, "Oh my, what a beautiful painting, if I do say so, myself." Princess Luna said, she keeps looking and sees more paintings, she saw Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, Girl with a Pearl Earring, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, The Scream, The Nightmare, The Birth of Venus, American Gothic, Arnolfini Portrait, The School of Athens, Whistler's Mother, The Ambassadors, Christina's World, Liberty Leading the People, A Friend in Need, The Great Wave off Kanagawa, and Fine Wind, Clear Morning, "Oh my, these paintings are beautiful." Princess Luna said, she continues looking and was enjoying the paintings she saw in the dream realm, she continues looking at the pictures and enjoys them, she was having a great time in the dream realm, she continues looking around and saw the foals were dreaming of all of the artwork in Vinci, "*laugh* I can't blame them, I'm inspired to try out some of their art if I do say so, myself." Princess Luna said, she smiles and continues going through the dream realm and zapped away any nightmares the foals had. The next morning comes and everycreature sees Volvox was already meeting up with the construction people, "We've thought about building this, Emperor Volvox." a male human said, Volvox uses his telekinesis to bring up the blueprint, he sees it was a blueprint on the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, "Where are you guys planning to build it?" Volvox asked, "Back there, behind the Great Wall." the male human replied, Volvox looks over his right shoulder with his three heads and sees there was enough space, he looks back, "What else are you all planning to build?" Volvox asked, "These, again, behind the Great Wall." the male human replied, and he is shown the blueprints of the Capitol, the White House, the Supreme Court Building, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln Memorial, "Is that all?" Volvox asked, the humans nod, "Hold on." Volvox said, he turns around and uses his magic to make the country even bigger, surprising the world's natives, "Let's go, everybody." the male human said, and they all begin building. The humans begin using their geokinesis, aerokinesis, and telekinesis while they build, the geokinesis and telekinesis lifted up the building materials while the humans used aerokinesis to reach the higher areas of the buildings, along with overseeing the constructions, they hear music playing, they also hear singing, they look and saw the humans who were building the six buildings were the ones playing music and singing, the song was Coro di Zingari, the ponies, yaks, changelings, hippogriffs, and kirins thought it sounded beautiful while the dragons and griffons were annoyed, they watch the humans build and they were going quickly, they finish the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda after about an hour and it surprised the world's natives, "Dang, they're fast workers." Rainbow Dash said, "No kiddin', Ah can't believe they can build somethin' like that that fast." Applejack replied, "Look, they're building more." Twilight Sparkle said, and they continue watching, the humans finish the song and the next song that plays and they sing Possente Amor Mi Chiama, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie were dancing to the music while the humans worked. Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom watched the construction carefully and made sure they did not make any mistakes, "That new guy there looks tired already." Dommiel said, "I see him." Volvox replied, and they see the tired male teenager, "I guess he's not used to working, yet." the Count of Saint Germain said, Giovi nodded, "Give him time, he was only hired yesterday." Tom replied, they see him get tired and lost his energy, he began to fall while Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, Tom, and the other construction workers use telekinesis to catch him, "Give it time, you'll get used to it." a female construction worker said, and they continue working while Volvox and his four assistants watch them to make sure everything goes right. The mirror in Twilight Sparkle's castle glows and Sunset Shimmer appears, "Okay, I'm here, where's this new place you wrote to me about?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "This way, Sunset, follow me." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they trot there. Sunset Shimmer goes to the shore of Equestria to the east and sees Vinci, "Wow, that place is beautiful." Sunset Shimmer said, "I know, I'm hoping we can establish relationships so we can use their techniques to make new art of our own." Twilight Sparkle replied, they hear the humans working singing La donna è mobile, the two listen with surprise, "Wow, even our opera singing ponies in Canterlot would have trouble singing notes that high." Twilight Sparkle said, "I wonder if anypony would sing that good." Sunset Shimmer replied, Twilight Sparkle smiles at the thought, the song finishes, they all begin to play and sing Ah! non giunge, the two move side to side while they enjoy the female singing, they look and see Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart were on balconies and listening as well, they were greatly enjoying the music, "I think the Pony Tones would enjoy singing with them." Twilight Sparkle said, Sunset Shimmer nodded even though she did not know who they were, "Come on, Sunset, let's go over to visit." Twilight Sparkle said, and the two teleport there. Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer arrive and they hear bells ringing to the southwest and heard them coming from the Notre-Dame de Paris, "Wow, they sound beautiful." Twilight Sparkle said, "I agree, they have a nice sound to them." Sunset Shimmer replied, they continue listening to the bells along with the construction people singing opera as they worked, they look and see Autumn Blaze trotting around and enjoying the place, "Who is that?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "I actually don't know." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Wow, this place is gate. Grate. Great. I have so much to learn from here." Autumn Blaze said and she trots around to look around more, "That's the ruler over there." Twilight Sparkle said as she looked at Volvox, Sunset Shimmer trots to him, "Excuse me." Sunset Shimmer said, Volvox turns around and looks at her, "Can I paint a picture of your country?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Wait until my workers over there finish building, first, I think it'll make your painting better." Volvox replied, "Okay, let me know when they're done." Sunset Shimmer said, and she continues exploring the country. The humans were meeting with Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Sandbar, Gallus, Gilda, Gabby, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, Silverstream, Terramar, and Autumn Blaze, they were led to go see Tom, who was sitting in his throne, "Alright, I'm going to need you all to tell me what you are for documenting reasons." Tom said, "I'm a unicorn." Sweetie Belle said, surprising the humans, "You look nothing like the unicorns from our home." the Count of Saint Germain said, "What do they look like?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Hold on, let's see if I can get one in this world with my magic." Volvox said, and he tries it, he makes one appear in Vinci, those present were in awe, "Wow, it looks almost like Princess Celestia." Sweetie Belle said, even though the unicorn had a white mane and tail, "Well, moving on, how about you?" Tom asked, "Pegasus." Scootaloo said, surprising the humans, "Let me guess, your Pegasus is different, too." Scootaloo said, "Actually, yes, it is." Dommiel replied, "Can we see it?" Silverstream asked, "Hold on." Volvox replied, and he makes one appear, "Wow, that one looks like Princess Celestia, too." Sandbar said, "Well, how about you two?" Tom asked, "We're earth ponies." Sandbar replied, confusing the humans, "You guys look like regular horses to me." the Count of Saint Germain said, "We ain't, we can grow food and crops." Apple Bloom replied, "And we have enhanced physical strength and stamina when compared to a unicorn and a Pegasus." Sandbar said, "Can't you all grow food?" Tom asked, "Nope, that's an earth pony exclusive ability." Sweetie Belle replied, "Yeah, our food is grown by magic." Sandbar said, "I see, interesting. What about you three?" Tom asked, "Why do you even care?" Gallus asked, "Yeah, can't you tell by just looking at us?" Gilda asked, "It's for documenting purposes." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "We're griffins." Gabby said, "Griffins?" Volvox asked, "Yeah, you got a problem with that?" Gilda asked, "Sorry, but you're the only one that looks like a griffin." Tom replied, "Do you guys have different races or something?" Dommiel asked, "Well, kind of, yes." Gabby replied, "No wonder why you two look so different." Volvox said, "Alright, next, what are you?" Tom asked, "A changeling." Ocellus replied, "Is that your regular form?" Volvox asked, "Yes." Ocellus replied, "Wow, what a difference." Dommiel replied, "What are you talking about?" Ocellus asked, "Changelings from our world are fairies." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Oh, I love fairies, I once wrote a play on them." Autumn Blaze said, "Hopefully, they're not like the changelings from our world." Volvox said, "Are they bad?" Ocellus asked, "Yes, they kidnap infants and elderly and take their place." Tom replied, shocking those present, "Oh no, we don't do that, we've reformed ever since our previous ruler was overthrown." Ocellus said, "Okay, what are you?" Tom asked, "Yona yak." Yona replied, "Are they all brown like you?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "No, yaks different color." Yona replied, "We've got some yaks in our world, but they can't speak like you." Dommiel said, they look around and see them, "Ooh, maybe Yona can teach them things." Yona said, "Okay, good, what are you?" Tom asked, "Can't you tell by just looking at me?" Smolder asked, "Is there any specific name your species goes by?" Volvox asked, "No, we're just dragons." Smolder replied, "What type of dragon?" Dommiel asked, "Just dragon!" Smolder replied in an annoyed tone, "You don't look like any dragon we've ever seen." Volvox said, "Wait, I don't?" Smolder asked, Volvox uses his magic and finds three dragons from Earth, a wyvern, a Chinese dragon, and a long dragon shaped like a snake, "Wow, I didn't know there were different types of dragons." Smolder said, "Okay, what are you two?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "We're hippogriffs." Terramar replied, "But..." Silverstream said, and she changes to a seapony, she says "We can also change into seaponies, and go underwater." "In other words, you all can change from a hippogriff to a seahorse." Volvox said, "Seapony." Terramar replied, "Is there a difference?" Dommiel asked, "It's just the proper term." Silverstream replied, "You guys look nothing like our hippogriffs." Volvox said, "Ooh, I wanna see! I wanna see!" Silverstream replied excitedly, Volvox sighs as he makes a hippogriff from Earth appear, "Wow, it really is different." Terramar said, they see the hippogriff had the front half of an eagle, and the rear half of a horse, "Alright, last one, what are you?" Tom asked, "I'm a kirin, half unicorn, half dragon, and I change into a nirik when I'm angry." Autumn Blaze replied, "Okay, so this world uses the Japanese term for them." Volvox said, "What are you guys talking about?" Autumn Blaze asked, "In our world, your kind has multiple names, kirin is one, but the most common name is qilin." Tom replied, "Qilin?" Autumn Blaze asked, "Yes, kirin is not a very common name for your kind in our world, you look nothing like them, either." Volvox replied, "What do they look like?" Autumn Blaze asked, "They have multiple forms." Dommiel replied, "I wanna see all of them." Autumn Blaze said, and Volvox uses his magic to make them appear, one had a dragon's head, scales, and a horse's body; another kirin had an oxen body, a dragon's head, two horns on its head, and ornaments of fire on its head; another kirin had a dragon's head, oxen hooves, skin and scales of a fish, deer antlers, and a lion's tail; another kirin had the torso of a deer, an ox's tail; another kirin had a tiger's head, a lion's mane, ox hoofs, a lion's tail, fish scales, and two horns; two more kirins appear and they looked just like giraffes, one was gold, and another was every color of the rainbow, "Wow, I didn't know there were so many." Autumn Blaze said, "They have multiple names, too, they're qilin, kirin, girin, gilen, and kỳ lân." Volvox replied, "Just kirin is fine." Autumn Blaze said, "Well, that is all, thank for your time, you all may go." Tom said, and they leave. Nothing eventful happens until near the end of the day, Rainbow Dash was looking around and sees mandalas around, "Wow, those actually look pretty cool." Rainbow Dash said, she continues admiring the mandalas on the walls. Pinkie Pie was looking at the food art and admiring them very much, "Can I eat them?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Samples are over there." a female human said, Pinkie Pie runs to them and begins eating the samples. Applejack walks around becomes very surprised when saw wood carvings in some of the trees, she trots to them and admires them, "Wow, Ah'm sure these took time to make." Applejack said, and she continues looking at the carvings. The day continues and night time came shortly after the world's natives left. Princess Luna rises the moon with her magic and was ready to go to the dream realm, but she stops when she sees something that caught her by surprise, "What the?" Princess Luna asked, she looks and saw a rabbit in the moon, Princess Luna stared at it in disbelief, she saw the rabbit was pounding something with a wooden hammer, Princess Luna could not tell what it was, she hears the foals in the dream realm and quickly heads there to do her duties, she looks and sees the artwork of Vinci in their dreams, "Ah, what beautiful artworks." Princess Luna said, and she admires the artwork for the night. The next day comes and Princess Celestia went to go see Tom at Vinci, "Ah, it's you, what brings you here?" Tom asked, "I was wondering if we could establish relationships with your country, your artworks are wonderful." Princess Celestia replied, "Thank you, but is there any particular reason why?" Tom asked, "Well, it's so we don't have any wars or fights breaking out, and so we can live together in peace, without having to worry about fighting one another." Princess Celestia replied nervously and embarrassingly, Volvox can clearly see she just wanted to have their ways of making art so it can be brought to Equestria, "Is there anything you'd like to do to establish a good relationship?" Tom asked, "Well, I was hoping you all could share your ways of making art, I think this world would love to know how they're made." Princess Celestia replied, Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom notice Princess Celestia looking at a picture behind the five, it was a sculpture of four animals, the left one was a white tiger, the right one was a blue dragon, the top one was a black turtle, and the bottom one was a red bird, they can tell Princess Celestia loved the picture, "Well, if that's the case, then we would need you to share your ways as well." Tom said, "Fair enough, I can arrange for that." Princess Celestia replied, and she flew away. Princess Celestia begins doing paperwork to have diplomacy with Vinci, which she was looking forward to, she went back after a few minutes, "Okay, Tom, go ahead and sign here." Princess Celestia said, and he got a quill and signed his name in cursive, which Princess Celestia liked, "Okay, that was easy, hope we all get along, and you all can come to Equestria if you wish." Princess Celestia said, "Okay, thank you." Tom replied, and she flew around and continued exploring Vinci. The humans give Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream a tour since they requested it, "You all ready to enter the Sistine Chapel?" the male human guiding them asked, they nodded while exclaiming with excitement, "Okay, here we go." the male human said, and he opens the doors, they enter and they were all in awe at the ceiling, "Look at that ceiling!" Rainbow Dash said, "Judging by how many different paintings and layers there are in them, this must've took years to finish." Twilight Sparkle replied, Gallus and Smolder laugh, "What's so funny, guys?" Sandbar asked, "Look at that one right there." Smolder replied as she pointed her right index claw at a picture of a man with his buttocks exposed, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo laugh while the others smile and were almost laughing, "That reminds me, how are you enjoying our books, purple one?" the male human asked, "I like them, so many to read, I'll admit there are some I don't like." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Which ones?" the male human asked, "I really didn't like 1984, it was so cruel, The Ugly Duckling made me kind of sad, too, so did The Little Mermaid, the end made me sad, but the others are kind of hard for me to understand." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Are you enjoying them?" the male human asked, "Well, yes, overall." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Would you like someone to explain them to you?" the male human asked, "No, it's fine, I'll figure out what's going on on my own." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Wow, so many pictures." Silverstream said as she flew around, "Best art gallery ever!" Pinkie Pie said, "Well, enjoy." the male human replied, and they do. Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst were looking at something that caught their eyes, it was round with symbols engraved into them, "Excuse me." Starlight Glimmer said, "Yes." a male human said as he walked to her, "What is this?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "What you're looking at there is an Aztec calendar, there's two types, this one here has eighteen months, each month is twenty days, and there are five days inserted into it that are not part of the months." the human replied, "What's the other type?" Sunburst asked, "The other calendar is divided into thirteen days, basically, the other calendar is made up of twenty months, each one is thirteen days." the human replied, Starlight Glimmer becomes confused and does the math in her head, she saw the amount of days in the two calendars were different, "I have to admit, it looks like all of that carving took a long time." Sunburst said, "It did, probably months." the human replied, "Still, why is the amount of days in the two calendars different?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "They represent different things, the big calendar represents the days of the year, while the small one represents which deity in their culture is their time to rule." the human replied, "Wow, I never thought of it that way." Starlight Glimmer said, "It's still kind of confusing to understand, though." Sunburst said, "Well, go on and look, maybe you'll understand it a bit better after observing it." the human replied, and he walks away while Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst observe the three hundred sixty five day calendar. Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and Flurry Heart see the humans making art with food and drinks, Flurry Heart burbled and was excited, she flew around and decided to try on her own, but she began destroying the art, "Hey! What are you doing?!" a male human asked, and the humans run to restrain her, Flurry Heart made baby noises as she tried to reach for the food art she was trying. Shining Armor and Princess Cadence run to them and see Flurry Heart actually took pieces from the already made artworks to make her own, "No, Flurry Heart, look at what you're doing." Princess Cadence said, and she does, Flurry Heart saw the art she destroyed and felt bad, "We're terribly sorry, she's a curious one." Shining Armor said, "Well, it's normal for her age, maybe we can find something for her to do without destroying our art." a female human replied, Flurry Heart made excited baby noises, "Hmm, maybe I can entertain her." the male human from earlier said, and he gets a bottle and a lot of drinks of different colors, "Okay, watch this, this is a popular one, this is called the pousse-café." the male human said, and he makes it while Flurry Heart watches with excitement, the human finishes and Flurry Heart cheers, she decides to try one on her own, but could not get the colors to be separate like how the human did, she started to get irritated, "Patience, young one, this took me years to master, too." the male human said, and Shining Armor and Princess Cadence go over to watch, they were also impressed by the pousse-café, Flurry Heart could not get the colors stacked and flew around quickly while trying different colors, she went quickly and made some of the bottles shake and fall, the other humans caught them, "Hey, careful, you almost dropped the bottles." the human said as he held Flurry Heart, she looks and sees them almost shaking, she looked down. Pinkie Pie dashed to them and looked at the pousse-café, "Can I try?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Sure, but don't drop the glass bottles." the male human replied, and Pinkie Pie tried, she could not get the different colors stacked, Pinkie Pie screamed, "I can't get it right!" Pinkie Pie said and she tried again, "Um, would you like to watch me make it?" the male human asked, "Okay. Sure." Pinkie Pie replied happily, unnerving the human, "Alright, here goes." the male human said, and he begins to make another pousse-café while Pinkie Pie, Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and Flurry Heart watched. The day ends with nothing in particular happening and Princess Luna entered the dream realm, she saw the rabbit in the moon again, but she ignored it and got on with her duties, she focuses and saw the ponies dream of the new art from Vinci again, "Ah, new art again." Princess Luna said, and she looks, she watches and saw carvings in a metallic object, "What is this?" Princess Luna asked, and she saw twelve animals in the carving, they were a rat, an ox, a tiger, a rabbit, a dragon, a snake, a horse, a goat, a monkey, a rooster, a dog, and a pig, it confused her, she saw another one that caught her mind, it was a picture of two animals fighting, they were a white tiger and a black dragon, the tiger was male and made from wood while the dragon was female and made from metal, "Okay, I'm not going to ask what that is." Princess Luna said, and she continues going through the dream realm, she soon sees the food art, her mouth watered at seeing the chocolate used to make art, Princess Luna smiled and continued working, but the rabbit pounding the elixir of life in the moon distracted her, she got annoyed and flew to the moon, "Excuse me." Princess Luna said, the rabbit looked at her, "Can you please stop? You're distracting me." Princess Luna said, "I cannot, it is my job." the rabbit replied in a female voice, "Well, I'm trying to do my job, too, and your pounding is distracting me from it." Princess Luna said, "Then why don't you wear some earplugs?" the rabbit asked, Princess Luna thought about it and made earplugs appear in her ears, the rabbit pounds the elixir of life and Princess Luna did not hear it, she smiled and went back to her duties and continued the night with no problems. The next day comes and the humans came to Equestria, they were already in awe at the country, they liked the Crystal Empire the best, "Look at all of those crystals." a male human said, "Yes, a sight to behold." a female human replied, and they continue admiring the Crystal Empire. A few confectionery chefs went to Sugarcube Corner since Pinkie Pie requested them, "Whoa, Pinkie Pie, this is too many people." Carrot Cake said, "Relax, I'm just here to show them what I can make." Pinkie Pie replied, "Okay, but don't use up too many ingredients." Cup Cake said, and they leave Pinkie Pie to her shenanigans. Pinkie Pie bakes pies and was very fast, surprising the humans, "It's finished!" Pinkie Pie said loudly, they see Pinkie Pie's pies, they were all shocked, "My, it is all cooked perfectly." a male human said, "Enjoy." Pinkie Pie said with her eyes closed and a smile on her face, but the humans did not, "Look, a delicious snack, yet artistically beautiful at the same time." a male human said, "Not eating will deprive us of a delicious taste, but eating it will ruin the artwork." a female human said, "We are facing a dilemma on what to do." a second male human said, "It'll make me happy if you eat it." Pinkie Pie replied, "But it'll ruin the art on the top." the first male human said, "It's okay, I've got plenty more." Pinkie Pie replied, and they see them, they also see the pies that had the same filling also had the same design on top. The humans eat the pie and chewed slowly and carefully, "This flavor, this texture, it is fantastic." a third male human said, and they eat the pie, "Please, we must try the other types." a second female human said, Pinkie Pie hands them out while smiling. Rarity called for the female humans to stand in front of her so she can see what they fashions look like, "Okay, darlings, let me see what you wear for fashion." Rarity said, and they do. Rarity sees the outfits she saw the first time she was in Vinci, she saw the kalasiris, the chiton, the sari, the choli, the hanfu, the cheongsam, the escaramuza, the pollera, every type of hijab, the áo dài, the panung, the sinh, the kimono, the kasa, the kanga, the black tie and white tie attire gowns, the corsage, the dress shoes, the high heels, and the various sandals. Rarity was about to examine them until she saw more female coming, she made several exclaims of excitement, "My, what is this?" Rarity asked, she looks at one of the females who came over, she wore an outfit she has never seen, the woman spoke in Japanese and Rarity did not understand, "Can I have a translator, please?" Rarity asked, "She's wearing a twelve layered outfit, it is called a jūnihitoe." a female human in a white gown with corsages on her wrists replied, "Twelve layers? Darling, that sounds very hot to be in." Rarity said, and she looks at more of the women, she saw some of them had their faces painted white, their lips painted red, and their eyebrows shaved off and repainted back on to their foreheads with black ink, "What the?" Rarity asked, she saw one woman in a kimono had black teeth, "Why are her teeth black?" Rarity asked, "It's a status symbol, it means she's married." a female human in a black gown replied, "My, how strange." Rarity said, she continues looking and sees a woman with tattoos on her chin, "What is that supposed to be?" Rarity asked, the woman with the tattooed chin speaks the Maori language, "She said the tattoo is a physical manifestation of her true self on the inside." a female human in a blue gown said, "Okay, I'm not going to argue with that there." Rarity said, and she continues looking, she becomes surprised when she saw a woman in a sari with tattoos on her hands. Rarity keeps looking and she screams in shock when she saw several women had lip plates, neck rings, elongated ears, Ethiopian women with scars on their bodies, and several women with hair and skin covered in red clay. Rarity was baffled by how many different beauty standards the humans had, some she liked more than others, "I understand you all have your own sets of beauty, but all of these lip plates and elongated ears are making me uncomfortable, so do those women with the scars there." Rarity said, "What do you like, then?" a woman wearing a red escaramuza asked, she had a heavy accent, "Well, I do like that dress you're wearing, I think the kimonos and saris are beautiful as well, and I really like those dresses there." Rarity replied as she pointed her front left hoof to the cheongsam and hanfu, "So, do you dislike our beauty standards?" a woman in a green gown asked, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, I respect you all have your own ideas, but some of them are harder to look at than others." Rarity replied, "What are your beauty standards?" a woman in a pink gown asked, "Well, firstly, I think you all saw Princess Celestia, she meets every beauty standard of our culture, I believe you all already saw her, she's that tall white pony with the flowing mane." Rarity replied, some women needed what Rarity said translated into their native language, some of the women become confused and one Ethiopian woman asks Rarity a question in her native language, "I'm sorry, but I don't understand your language." Rarity said, "She asked if you girls do any scarring for looking beautiful." the woman in the white gown replied, "Oh! Celestia, no! We do not do such things, we like our skin smooth and soft, I would have to wear clothes if I was covered in scars." Rarity said, she sighed afterwards, "One reason I called you all here is so I can take photos of your diverse views on beauty, and if possible, teach me how to make your outfits, I think our fashion industry would love to try them out." Rarity said, the women who understood translated for the others, they agree and Rarity begins taking pictures to use as a guide since she was going to try to make the outfits. Rainbow Dash was doing a Wonderbolt show for the humans, the humans used aerokinesis and telekinesis to fly, they enjoy the show and admired the colors of the trails the Wonderbolts left behind, "Now, that, is a show." Rainbow Dash said, the humans cheered, "Do you guys do any shows?" Vapor Trail asked, "Yes, but not aerial ones." a male human replied, "What do you guys do?" Sky Stinger asked, the humans point towards the Crystal Empire and they saw humans acting out Shakespearean plays, they also saw humans doing Kabuki plays as well, the Wonderbolts were very confused, "Okay, I'm not going to ask what those are about." Soarin said, "Well, we have many different ways of telling plays, that's only a few." a female human replied, they look and see Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and Flurry Heart were greatly enjoying a Kabuki play, "Well, you guys want to continue watching our show?" Spitfire asked, the humans nod while smiling, and the Wonderbolts continue their show while the humans watch with awe. Fluttershy took the humans to her cottage and they see her many animals, several of the people there begin worshiping Harry, which confused him, "Um, what are they doing?" Fluttershy asked, "It is the belief of those Ainu people, the bear is the top god." a male human replied, "Oh, I didn't know that." Fluttershy said, "Yeah, in a lot of our cultures and beliefs, the animals of our world are gods." a male child replied, "Oh, really? Wow, I never knew that." Fluttershy replied, "Also, be careful with your goats, buffaloes, cattle, and chickens, some of our cultures sacrifice them to gods to please them." a female human replied, Fluttershy becomes shocked, "You mean... as in... you all kill them?!" Fluttershy asked, the humans nod, much to Fluttershy's horror, "Well, we also do have the Zodiac, where we worship twelve animals." a second female human said, "Really? That's wonderful, what are they?" Fluttershy asked, "Rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig." the second female human replied, "What do they represent?" Fluttershy asked, "Well, it's complicated, each one is specific, you've got the five elements to it, the lucky colors, the lucky numbers, lucky flowers, the Yin Yang stuff, what it's earthly branch is, and when that animal's lunar month is." the second female human replied, "You all have elements, too?" Fluttershy asked, "Do you?" the male child asked, "Yes, we have six elements, mine is kindness, the others are loyalty, honesty, generosity, laughter, and magic, we had six more elements before that, they were strength, healing, hope, beauty, bravery, and sorcery." Fluttershy replied, confusing the humans, "Um, is something the matter?" Fluttershy asked, "Yeah, those are not elements to us." the first female human replied, "They're not?" Fluttershy asked, "No, those are what we call characteristics, while kindness and generosity are virtues, but we call generosity charity." the male child replied, "What are your elements?" Fluttershy asked, "We have four basic elements, fire, water, earth, and air, and sometimes, there's a fifth element, the fifth element for us is usually lightning, but it's changed around, sometimes, the five elements is fire, water, earth, wood, and metal, but in other times, when fire, water, earth, and air are the elements, the fifth element is different, sometimes, it's heaven, sometimes, it's void, and the two most powerful elements in our beliefs are light and dark." the first female human replied, "Wow, I wish to learn more, tell me more about your animals and elements." Fluttershy said, and the humans begin to talk about the symbolism of animals and elements in their cultures. Applejack had the humans at Sweet Apple Acres and they were looking around, "Wow, it's like a whole field of Eden." a female human said, "Say what?" Applejack asked, "There is a story in our beliefs about the first of our kind, Adam and Eve, and they were living in the Garden of Eden, where they were forbidden to eat these apples that contained all the knowledge of good and evil, a serpent tempted Eve to eat the apples, and she shared them with Adam, and the two got exiled from the garden, and lost their ability to live forever." a male human replied, Applejack just looked on, "Ah'm confused." Applejack said, "Basically, God told them not do this thing, but they did, and got banished from the garden." a second male human replied, "But wasn't it that serpent's fault?" Applejack asked, "That's another thing, Adam did nothing to stop Eve from being tempted." the first male human replied, "Huh. Ah'm still mighty confused." Applejack said, "Do we gain knowledge from eating the apples like from the story?" a female human child asked, "Sorry, sugar cube, but no, these are just regular apples." Applejack replied, "Were the apples in the story zap apples?" Granny Smith asked, "No, red apples like the ones here." a male human child replied, "Can Ah hear the story?" Apple Bloom asked, the humans agree and begin talking about Adam and Eve. Twilight Sparkle brought the humans to her castle and they were in the library, "What is that you all got there?" Twilight Sparkle asked, and she saw the humans had the Bible, the Quran, and the Tanakh with them, "They are sacred books of our religions, there are many, but these are the main ones." a male human child replied, "What are they about?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Well, mostly on how we should live and what we should practice." the male human child replied, "Wow, those actually look very long." Starlight Glimmer said, "They are." a male adult human replied, "We've got a lot of books here, we think you all will like them." Spike said, and the humans look around. The humans look at the books Twilight Sparkle had and realized some of her stories were similar to the ones from their own story, "What did you do with the books you took from us?" the male human child asked, "They're over there, I'm still reading them, and I'm also choosing stories I think my friends would like." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Which ones are you planning to read to your friends?" the female human child asked, "Well, I did like The Ugly Duckling, I think Fluttershy is going to like that story, but other than that, I'm still going through and reading." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the humans continue going through the books Twilight Sparkle offered them to read, she saw a male adult human with a book in his right hand, "What is that you got there?" Twilight Sparkle asked as she walked forward to get a better look at the book, they all look and see the book, the humans become scared, "The Necronomicon Ex-Mortis." a second male adult human said, "Excuse me?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It is a book that is used to summon demons, we have several books like them." a female adult human replied, "Summon demons? This doesn't sound safe." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, Volvox was the one who had this, I am merely burrowing it." the human with the book replied, "Can I take a look at the inside of it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, and the man let her. Twilight Sparkle uses her magic to hold the book up and go through the pages, "What the? What is this?" Twilight Sparkle asked as she went through the pages and saw the words and pictures, she was very disturbed by the pictures, "They are written in an ancient language, only a few understand it." the man who had the book said, "That's not it, it's these drawings, I'd be scared if these creatures were real." Twilight Sparkle replied, "They are real." the man with the book said, Twilight Sparkle becomes disturbed and gives it back to him, "There is one series we didn't let you read, The King in Yellow, those who read it feel despair and go insane." the male human child said, "How come?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It is believed it has some kind of power on those who, everyone who has read it went insane." a second female adult human replied, "Well, I'll check it out another time, now go on and enjoy my books." Twilight Sparkle said, and the humans read. Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle showed the human kids what they liked and they were all met with different reactions, "What do you all think?" Scootaloo asked as she showed them her scooter, "It could use more designs on it." a female human child replied, "I'm fine with the way it is." Scootaloo said, "I think your bow could use some more designs in it." a male human child said, "Ah done that once, and it was too heavy for me to wear." Apple Bloom replied, "Here's what I do." Sweetie Belle said, and she makes potions, the children with impressed, "So you know alchemy, too." a second female human child said, "You guys have alchemy?"

Sweetie Belle asked, "He won't share it with us." a third male human child replied, "That does sound pretty cool, though, being able to live forever." Scootaloo said, "Ya mean like Princess Celestia and Princess Luna?" Apple Bloom asked, "Sure." Scootaloo replied, "We also do singing, there's a lot of singing in Ponyville." Sweetie Belle said, "Let's hear it." a third female human child replied, the other human children agree and the Cutie Mark Crusaders begin singing a song. The Crystal Empire watches the humans do the plays from their home, the crystal ponies watch Japanese, Italian, and Greek plays as the actors acted, Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and Flurry Heart were watching a Kabuki play and really enjoying it, Flurry Heart wanted to use the swords they used in the play and wanted to try it, "Hey, careful, these swords are real." a male human said with a Japanese accent, Flurry Heart became surprised and stopped wanting it, "Oh, cheer up, young one, we got wooden ones you can practice with." the male human said, Flurry Heart became excited and he gives her two of them. Flurry Heart tries to hold the wooden swords and they were heavy for her, she tries to swing them around and dropped them a lot, she tried again and kept dropping them, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence chuckle and help her hold them, Flurry Heart swings them around has fun, she made exciting burbling noises and swung the wooden swords around.

Princess Celestia said, the humans look at them, "What are you all doing?" Princess Celestia asked, "Appealing to the beauty standards of our cultures." a male human replied, "Which is?" Princess Luna asked, "Each one's different, but most have similar beliefs on fitness, men must be skinny and muscular, and women must be slender with smooth skin." a female human replied, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were interested, "So, how are some cultures in beauty standards different?" Princess Celestia asked, "Some of our cultures think women are beautiful when they are fat." a second male human replied, "There's one over there." a second female human said as she pointed with her right index finger, they see a woman being fed to be overweight, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were very uncomfortable, "That doesn't look healthy." Princess Celestia said, "It's her culture, they see fat women as beautiful." the first female human replied, "But still, it's not worth it if it damages your health." Princess Celestia said, "Indeed, health always comes before beauty." Princess Luna said, "Do you males wear makeup as well?" a third male human asked, "Um, no, the stallions in our land don't wear makeup, only the mares do." Princess Celestia replied, "Well, they should, men have to look beautiful, too." a handsome man with long hair said, the two looked at him and saw he had a name tag on his suit, he was Narcissus, "The makeup we wear have health benefits as well." a woman covered in red clay said, "For example?" Princess Celestia asked, "This red clay I wear prevents me from getting sunburned." the woman covered in red clay replied, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna become a little surprised, "The makeup we wear in our culture also kills bacteria and harmful germs, they can help heal the skin as well." the first male human said, "Oh, well, in that case, I'd like to learn a bit." Princess Celestia replied, and she and Princess Luna look at their makeup and also watch the men and women exercise to stay in shape. Night time comes and Princess Luna saw something in the sky around Vinci that caught her attention, "What is this?" Princess Luna asked, and she saw twelve constellations around Vinci in a circle, she saw Volvox standing on El Castillo, "Excuse me." Princess Luna said as she flew to him, he looks at her, "What are those in the sky?" Princess Luna asked, "The Horoscope, they are represented by the certain days and months of the year, it starts at the twelve o'clock position over there." Volvox replied as he looked back, Princess Luna looks at the constellation Volvox looked at, "We start at that one and go clockwise, that one there at the twelve o'clock position is Aries, next one is Taurus, the one after that is Gemini, after that one is Cancer, the next one is Leo, that one there is Virgo, the one there at the six o'clock position is Libra, the one after that one is Scorpio, the next one is Sagittarius, the next one is Capricorn, the next one over is Aquarius, and the last one is Pisces, each constellation has a symbol, an element of either fire, water, earth, or air, a planet to represent it, a house, a keyword, and a symbol." Volvox replied, "Please, send me a letter another time, I'd like to know about these one day, I must attend to my duties now." Princess Luna said, and she flew back to Canterlot and entered the dream realm. Princess Luna watches the dreams of others and saw the ponies dreaming about the humans and their forms of entertainment, she was enjoying all of it, the humans were all having good dreams until they all suddenly disappeared, "Wha...? What is going on?" Princess Luna asked, she hears gasps of awe in the real world and flies out of the dream realm. Princess Luna looks and saw everycreature was awake, "Wow, look at the sky." a filly said, Princess Luna looks and she saw Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis in the sky, they were moving around the twelve constellations, everycreature was in awe, "Wow, it is so beautiful." Twilight Sparkle said, "I must agree, what beauty." Rarity replied, they all look and saw the sky around Vinci was full of stars, and a rabbit was in the moon. White flashes appear to Volvox's right and he looks, he saw foals and ponies taking pictures of the night sky over his country, they finish and Volvox continued watching his country. A shooting star passes through the sky and everybody in Vinci saw it, "A shooting star, someone has died." Tom said, the world's natives disagree and several go to them, "A shooting star means to make a wish." Rarity said, "Yes, we're familiar with the whole make a wish thing, but it doesn't always work." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Ooh, ooh, I know, maybe you can wish for that person back." Pinkie Pie said, "Afraid it doesn't work that way." Dommiel replied, "I know, I wish for everlasting friendship with this country." Sweetie Belle said, "Unlikely, once when my superiors up there in the sky get everything settled out, we're returning to our world." Volvox replied, "Well, can you at least share some of your things?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "We already do." Volvox replied, they all saw their points, "Well, you all should go back and get some rest." Volvox said, they agreed and they all went back home and slept. The next day comes and the humans travel to the other lands, Volvox watched the other creatures and decided which humans would be best to go to several places, he sent the knights, samurais, and shaolin monks to the Dragon Lands, construction people and architects to Griffonstone, athletes to Yakyakistan, regular citizens to the changeling kingdom, magic users to Mount Aris and Seaquestria, and entertainers to Kirin Grove. The knights and samurais show off their weapons and fighting skills, which the dragons like, but they were very curious about the shaolin monks, they see the shaolin monks practice fighting and had five banners with them, the far left banner was red with a tiger on it, the far right banner was blue with a crane on it, the center-left banner was yellow with a leopard on it, the center-right banner was green with a snake on it, and the center banner was black with a dragon on it, "So, what are these?" Princess Ember asked, a monk explains in Chinese, the dragons did not understand him, "He said that they are their fighting styles, the tiger is aggressive and only attacks, the leopard's strength comes from its speed, the crane is flexible and graceful, and attacks with precision, the snake slides and attacks vital points of the body, and the dragon is energy inside the body and out, its attacks are both, soft and hard." a knight replied, "Demonstrate, I would like to see this." Dragon Lord Torch said, and they all begin. The shaolin monks do their martial arts and the dragons won against the crane fighting style with some ease, some won and lost against the dragon fighting style, some won and lost against the snake fighting style, and they were overwhelmed by tiger and leopard fighting styles, the dragons had fun and they all continue fighting while the shaolin monks remained calm, the samurais and knights joined the fighting as well. The humans in Griffonstone begin reconstructing the country for the griffons, "Hey, hurry up, we don't have all day!" Grampa Gruff said, "Art takes time, while the heart is fast to change desire, making the first desire complete takes time." a male human replied, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, just keep working." Gilda said, the humans grumble and work, they use their earth magic to build the place, and wind magic to fly around, they also used telekinesis to rebuild Griffonstone, the griffons were impatient and demanded they hurry up, "The griffons at home were friendlier than these." a female human said, the others agreed. Gabby flies up to them and gives them scones, "Here you all go." Gabby said, they take them, "Thank you, at least there's one griffon here who's friendly." a male human said, the others agreed. Several humans go through Griffonstone and see a lot of their things were destroyed, which saddened them since they were hoping to learn about Griffonstone's culture. The humans in Yakyakistan show them their sports, the yaks loved watching, "Prince Rutherford like sumo wrestling!" Prince Rutherford said, the other yaks stomp happily, they also liked boxing, running, and soccer, which some of the humans called football, "Yak wanna play." a male yak child said, "Sure, here are the rules." a male human said, and they talk about the rules, the yaks try playing with the humans and have fun, "This reminds me of a sport my culture does." a female human said with a Spanish accent, "What sport?" Prince Rutherford asked, "Running of the Bulls." a female human replied, "What is this Running of Bulls?" a female yak asked, the female human uses her psychic powers to show the yaks what it was, it excited them, "Yak want do bull running!" Prince Rutherford said, "Okay, but we get a head start since you all chase us, and we're slower." a male human replied, they nod, they all get into position and the humans run first, and the yaks begin to chase them. The humans in the changeling kingdom just look around and were not finding things that interested them, "Are you guys enjoying this place?" King Thorax asked, "Not really." a male human replied, "Yeah, you guys are like regular bugs from where we come from." a female human said, "I heard you guys have changelings at home, too." Pharynx said, "Yes, but they're fairies, not deer like you guys." a second male human replied, "What are they like?" a female changeling asked, a human uses his psychic powers to show them a picture, they saw the changelings were ugly humanoid babies with gray skins, shocking the changelings, "Ugh, your world's changelings are ugly." a female changeling said, "They're evil, too." a female human replied, "How so?" King Thorax asked, "They steal our children." a third male human replied, shocking the changelings, "Chrysalis was an evil changeling." a female changeling child said, "Yes, but she would never stoop as low as to steal one's infant." King Thorax replied, "Well, we'll let you guys look around, and try to enjoy." Pharynx said, the humans then begin to explore the changeling kingdom, they see the throne, "What a strange looking throne." a fourth male human said, "It's anti-magic, your spells won't work on it." King Thorax replied, "I wonder." a second female human said, and she tries using telekinesis, it got deflected, "So, it resists psychic powers, too." a third female human said, "Let's try spiritual powers." the first male human replied, and the humans meditate, their spirits leave their bodies, causing the changelings to gasp, the humans go to the throne and saw they could, they tried using their powers and they worked, "Okay, spiritual power works." the first male human said, "What is this spiritual power?" King Thorax asked, "It is powers that come from your soul, as you can see, we can separate our souls from our bodies, you become souls permanently after you die." the first female human replied, the changelings were interested, "How do you achieve it?" Pharynx asked, "Meditation." the second male human replied, "Please, show us." King Thorax said, and they all meditate. The strongest magic using humans in Mount Aris and Seaquestria do shows for the hippogriffs and seaponies and they love it, they were in awe, "Tell us, how did you all learn magic?" Sky Beak asked, "Meditation and focus." a female human replied, "Focus on what?" Ocean Flow asked, "The four primary elements." a male human replied, "Which are?" Princess Skystar asked, "Fire, water, earth, and wind." a second male human replied, "You people already conquered three of the elements." a second female human said, "Which ones?" Terramar asked, "Water, wind, and earth, you all do not have power over fire, yet." the first male human replied, "I don't think fire should be messed with." Queen Novo said, "Your reasoning?" a third male human asked, "Well, first of all, our houses up here are made from trees, and fire won't work in the water." Queen Novo replied, "That, and our wings have feathers, fire will burn them." Princess Skystar said, "If you wish, we can show you all some advanced magic." the second male human replied, they all agreed, "Alright, here goes." a third female human said, and she uses advanced water magic, she began to use ice magic, the hippogriffs were in awe, "I wanna see the other advanced magic." Princess Skystar said, the hippogriffs and seaponies agree, the humans who used advanced fire magic controlled lava, magma, and volcanoes, the humans who used advanced water magic controlled snow and ice, the humans who used advanced earth magic controlled rocks, stones, plants, sand, and crystals, and the humans who used advanced air magic controlled the clouds and the weather, the hippogriffs and seaponies were surprised and in awe, "I think a show is in for a call." Queen Novo said, the humans, hippogriffs, and seaponies agree and begin setting things up to do a play. The entertainers of Vinci were in Kirin Grove and liked the place, they were quick to befriend Autumn Blaze, "It is a pleasure to meet you all, I hope you all enjoy it here." Rain Shine said, and the humans begin doing magic tricks, singing, and creating art with their magic, "Wow, can you guys teach me?" Autumn Blaze asked, "Well, I guess it's worth a try." a male human replied, and Autumn Blaze was excited. The humans try to teach Autumn Blaze how to cook and make food art, she did alright, they then teach her how to play musical instruments, she already knew how to play them all, the females try to teach her how to sing, she could already do it, the humans then try to teach her different styles of plays, Autumn Blaze could do some of them, "Okay, we found a starting point." a female human said, and they try to teach Autumn Blaze. Autumn Blaze and the other kirins join to try to learn, they growl and get angry whenever they messed up, Autumn Blaze changed into a nirik and set the props on fire, the humans use water magic but it does nothing, so they use advanced water magic to use ice, it also did nothing to the nirik fire, Autumn Blaze changed back and panted, "Sorry, I lost my temper there." Autumn Blaze said, "Perhaps meditating could help you as well." a second male human replied, "Meditating? What's meditating?" Autumn Blaze asked, "We'll just demonstrate." a third male human replied, and they do. The kirins try and felt nothing, "Excuse me." Rain Shine said, the humans open their eyes', "What is this supposed to do?" Rain Shine asked, "Clear your mind and help you focus, it also keeps your bad memories and emotions from affecting you." the first male human replied, "Okay, I don't understand, but I'm willing to try." Rain Shine said, and they do, "Ugh, this is boring." Autumn Blaze said after a while, "That is not the point, the point is to give yourself better mental health." a second female human said calmly, "But still, it is boring." Autumn Blaze replied, the other kirins agree, "Do you all wish to do what we were doing earlier?" the first male human asked, the kirins nod, "Very well, let's continue, then." the first male human said, and they continue teaching the kirins their forms of entertainment. The humans return to Vinci and report to Volvox about their findings and he and Dommiel, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, and Tom read them, "Hmm, interesting, some of the natives of this world have similar forms of art and entertainment to our own." Tom said, "Perhaps we can establish positive relationships through similar tastes in art and entertainment." Volvox said, Princess Celestia overheard him and smiled, "Emperor Volvox!" a male human said as he and other humans ran to him, it was so loud, the other creatures looked at them, "We have found something strange, it looks dangerous." the male human said, "Where?" Volvox asked, "Within the astral plane." a female human replied, the other creatures look on with confusion. Volvox closes the eyes of his right head and center head, his left head did not have eyes, he reopens them and his four eyes and eye holes on his left head had light blue and white light come out of them, the world's natives gasp with awe. Volvox's vision was dark blue with white stars, he looks through the astral plane, "Where is it?" Volvox asked, the humans meditate to enter the astral plane, "To the west of where you're looking." the male human replied, Volvox looks to his left and becomes a little startled when he sees what was ahead, "That's it, that blob thing there." the male human said, Volvox saw it was Azathoth, he looks and also sees Cxaxukluh, Daoloth, Ghroth, Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, Tulzscha, Yibb-Tstll, and Yog-Sothoth were there as well, he was careful not to look at Daoloth, as looking at him causes people to go insane, he watches them and saw they were just moving around and not causing trouble. Volvox finishes looking into the astral plane and the glows and lights on his eyes and eye holes of his left head disappear, "It is the outer gods, avoid contact with them, and do not look at Daoloth." Volvox said, the humans nod, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, Volvox looks down and sees her and her five friends, "What is the astral plane?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It is an area that is not accessible physically, it is full of mysteries and we don't know how big it is, we are still exploring it." Volvox replied, "I wanna enter the astral plane." Pinkie Pie said while hopping up and down, "You can't enter physically, you can only enter the astral plane spiritually, only souls can enter, so dead people can go, and living people can enter by separating their souls from their bodies through meditation." Dommiel replied, "Can magic permit entry to the astral plane?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Do you have magic that involves controlling souls?" Dommiel asked, Twilight Sparkle and Rarity were speechless, "I... don't think we do." Rarity replied, "Then you can't enter." Dommiel said, "Wait, if we can create a spell that allows us, then we can go." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Alright, but be careful if you do enter the astral plane." Tom said, "How come?" Applejack asked, "The astral plane is full of many unknowns, some discoveries have led to bad consequences." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "What kind of consequences?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Usually, insanity, sometimes, death, and in worst case scenarios, death, and possession of your body." the Count of Saint Germain replied, shocking the world's natives, Fluttershy whimpered with fear, "I think this is worth exploring, give us time, I think we can create a spell to enter." Twilight Sparkle said, "Okay, but be careful." Volvox replied, "What about you? Didn't you just enter with magic?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I didn't enter the astral plane, I just looked into it through a little meditation, the more you meditate and focus, you more likely you are to enter the astral plane." Volvox replied, "Okay, let's go, I'll start working on creating a new spell tomorrow." Twilight Sparkle said, and they leave while it became dark and everybody went to sleep. Princess Luna looks into the dream realm and does not see the astral plane, she was curious as well, she does her duties for the night and finishes when the sun began to rise. Morning comes and the ponies meditate with Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, and Star Swirl the Bearded were in the center, "Okay, everypony, meditate, let's see if we can reach the astral plane." Twilight Sparkle said, and they do while the ponies in the center cast a spell to see if they can separate their souls from their bodies to reach it, they try and have trouble, the unicorns grunt with effort as they try and sweat, but could not separate their souls from their bodies, "I don't understand, how were they able to do it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Well, Twily, they did say it's spiritual, not magical, so maybe internal willpower allowed them to do it." Shining Armor replied, "I wanna explore the astral plane!" Twilight Sparkle said in an annoyed tone, "Give it time, Twilight, let's rest a bit and try again." Princess Celestia replied, and they rest while Twilight Sparkle was impatient, "Is everypony ready?" Star Swirl the Bearded asked, the ponies nod, "Alright, everypony, here we go." Starlight Glimmer said, and they try again, they try and could not reach the astral plane, "I found it!" Pinkie Pie said loudly, startling and distracting everypony, they look at her, "I entered the astral plane!" Pinkie Pie said excitedly, "Of course you would find a way, Pinkie." Twilight Sparkle replied in a deadpan tone, "I'm going to go ask them how they do it." Princess Cadence said, and she flies to Vinci. Volvox was watching his citizens and watched the construction people building the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, the Capitol, the White House, the Supreme Court Building, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln Memorial, the humans were singing Funiculi Funicula while they worked, they were soon finished and they all smiled, "Excuse me." Princess Cadence said as she flew to them, the natives look at her, "How do you all enter the astral plane?" Princess Cadence asked, "We separate our souls from our bodies through meditation." Dommiel replied, "Yes, we got that, but what is the process?" Princess Cadence asked, "There isn't one, just keep meditating and be very patient, and have a strong willpower so the deities don't possess your body." Tom replied, Princess Cadence was a little speechless, "How long does the meditation process take?" Princess Cadence asked, "Years, sometimes two or three decades before you enter the astral plane for the first time, and you must meditate about one or two hours a day." Volvox replied, shocking Princess Cadence, "Are there any faster ways?" Princess Cadence asked, "Well, if you wish, I can send some of my shamans to your country, and have them summon the spirits." Volvox replied, "No, it's fine, we'll just try to go our own way." Princess Cadence said, "Alright, be careful." Volvox said, and Princess Cadence leaves. Princess Cadence flies back and shakes her head, "I see, maybe I can enter, let me try something." Princess Luna said, and she goes into the dream realm. Princess Luna enters the dream realm and looks for the astral plane, she uses her magic to detect the area around her, she was finding nothing, much to her surprise, she tries harder and was not detecting any deities around her, she keeps trying and found nothing, Princess Luna's face twitched with irritation before she left the dream realm. Princess Luna comes back to Equestria, "I'm sorry, but I can't find anything." Princess Luna said, "Ugh! This was supposed to be just a simple meditation!" Twilight Sparkle said, "Has anyone here ever heard of the astral plane?" Rainbow Dash asked, "While I have seen into the astral plane, it is very difficult to explain." Zecora replied, "How did you do it, Zecora?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "A certain potion, I can make, and a clean mental state." Zecora replied, "What's the potion?" Fluttershy asked, "For my ingredients are currently low, making it must be postponed." Zecora replied, "Well, I guess we should just continue our way." Sunburst said, and they do. The ponies meditate while the unicorns and alicorns use their magic to try to create a spell, they all gasp in awe when they their visions turn dark blue with white stars for a brief second, they all stop with surprise and sweated, "Okay, I think we got something." Princess Celestia said, "*pant* *pant* Yeah, but let's rest, I think all of us are tired." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she sees everypony was tired as well, but they smiled, "Let's try again another time, Twilight, we have to get on with our days." Princess Celestia said, and they do. Twilight Sparkle asked for Volvox to allow some of the humans to attend the School of Friendship, but he saw the school did not teach art, so he politely declined, but he did have the humans continue teaching the world's natives their ways of creating art, which they enjoyed, "Hey, I'm ready for that picture." Sunset Shimmer said from below Volvox, "I haven't forgotten, go on and try to get a good view." Volvox replied, and Sunset Shimmer tried. Sunset Shimmer wanted to get a picture of everything in the country since she thought it was beautiful, she did and took the picture, it came out developed and she liked it. The Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Sunburst, and Autumn Blaze went to Volvox, "Can we explore the buildings?" Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle asked, "Of course, but be careful, some things are easy to break." Tom replied, the visitors were elated, "Come on, everycreature, let's explore everything together." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all were ready. Black clouds appear in the sky and everybody sees them, they all see a ship with the Storm King's symbol on it, Volvox and his people were ready to destroy it, it lands and opens and they see Grubber and Tempest Shadow walk out, "Is this the new area?" Tempest Shadow asked, "Oh, Tempest Shadow, you made it." Twilight Sparkle said, "This place looks richer than the Storm King's own private ship." Grubber said, "Come on, let's start exploring." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go. The group travels together and they enter El Castillo first since it was the closest, "*pant* *pant* All of these stairs are making me tired." Rarity said, "This is nothing." Tempest Shadow replied, and they all enter El Castillo. The group explores and it was mostly gray inside, it scared them a little, Fluttershy screams briefly when a face scares her, they look and see a red object in the shape of a jaguar, it had green jewels in it, "What's this?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Judging by its shape, it looks like a throne." Sunburst replied, "But who would sit on it?" Sandbar asked, "Ooh, I know, maybe the animal ruler of whatever this animal is." Silverstream replied, "Well, if that's the case, this looks like a jaguar." Fluttershy said, "I must say, those green jewels in it look lovely." Rarity said, "A jaguar monarch, I wonder if there's one for the other animals." Starlight Glimmer said, "Well, let's explore, but stay together, the last thing we need is someone getting lost." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they explore, but do not find any more thrones, but did not find any, but they did find a chacmool statue, "Yona like statue." Yona said, "But it is just a plain dull gray color." Rarity replied, "Ya still gotta admire the carvin', though." Applejack said, they agree, "Did any of you find anything else?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Nuh-uh." Smolder replied, "Nope." Sandbar said, "I think that is all we're going to find here." Tempest Shadow said, "Well, let's go to the next one." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they exit El Castillo. The group exits and they look to the north, "We've already been in that chapel over there." Twilight Sparkle said, "Not all of us." Tempest Shadow replied, "I want to see." Grubber said, "Let's go together, then." Twilight Sparkle said, and they do, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Sunburst, Tempest Shadow, and Grubber were in awe at the Sistine Chapel's ceiling, "Wow, I sure wish I could paint like this." Sunset Shimmer said, "I can, I've actually made an exact replica of these pictures a long time ago." Autumn Blaze replied, "Ooh, can you teach me?" Silverstream asked, "If I have the time." Autumn Blaze replied, "I've never seen your kind before, what are you?" Tempest Shadow asked, "A kirin, change into a nirik when I'm angry." Autumn Blaze replied, "I think I've seen enough, let's go elsewhere." Tempest Shadow said, the others agree and leave, they go to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda next. The group enters and they see the three gold statues inside, along with decorated pottery to the sides of it, they also see letters engraved on the pillars, "Look, letters on the pillars." Silverstream said, "Wow, who would've thought." Starlight Glimmer said, "How did they do it, though?" Scootaloo asked, "Good question, I'd like to know, too." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they keep looking and see pictures on the wall, they exit and were about to leave, "Wait, wait, look at this, everybody." Silverstream said, and they turn around and see dragon engravings on the walls, along with gold statues on the outside, "Wow, I've never seen art like this before." Autumn Blaze said, "That is so cool." Rainbow Dash said, "I guess these guys really worshiped dragons." Smolder said, "I would like that, too." Spike replied, "Come on, let's go to the others." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go. The group enters the Capitol Building next and see the statues, paintings on the wall, and engravings on the wall, "My, what design." Rarity said, "Yeah, but it's not as good as the last one." Rainbow Dash replied, "I must agree, there isn't much to see in here." Fluttershy said, "That painting up there on that ceiling's cool." Gallus said, and they look up and see a painting at the top of interior, they agree, "There's nothing here, let's go." Smolder said, and they did. The group enters the White House next and they look around, they see the China Room, Map Room, and Diplomatic Reception Room in front of them and like it, "Oh my, what fine silverware they have." Rarity said, "Look at the picture on the wall in that room over there." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they look into the Diplomatic Reception Room, "Wow, I've never seen such details in a picture." Fluttershy said, "I gotta admit, these guys are talented." Gallus said, "I wanna learn how to make them!" Silverstream said, "We don't know how, Silverstream, and it'll depend on if they're willing to share or not." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they walk around more, they see the Vermeil Room and admired it, they turn around and see the library, Twilight Sparkle became excited and flew in there, "Wow, they have a library." Twilight Sparkle said as she looked at the books, "Twilight, the tour." Rainbow Dash said, "Oh, right, sorry." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they all travel together, they see the Curator's Office and liked it, but they continued. The group goes up the stairs and arrive at the Entrance Hall, they were in awe at the design of the room, "Wow." Sandbar said, they all look around and soon go forward, they stop and see the Family Dining Room to their rights, they admired it and looked to their lefts, they see the East Room and go there, they were surprised by how big it was, "Party room!" Pinkie Pie said as she hopped around, "Pinkie, careful." Twilight Sparkle said, "This is perfect for a dance room." Sweetie Belle said, "Ah know, how bout we put some of Apple family dances in this room." Apple Bloom replied, "No way, with this much space, we should go wild." Scootaloo said, "Not now, we got a tour to finish." Tempest Shadow replied, and they keep going, they see the Cross Hall, they were in awe at its appearance, "Oh, my, I really do love this red on the floor here." Rarity said, "Look at the chandeliers." Sweetie Belle replied, and they do, they liked them, "Ah gotta admit, this is a nice hallway." Applejack said, "Yeah, maybe we can build one in Equestria like this one." Twilight Sparkle replied, they walk to the east and enter the State Dining Room, they liked the room and go to the Red Room, "I do like this shade of red here." Rarity said, "It is kind of cool." Rainbow Dash replied, they look around and see the items in the room, they go to the Blue Room next, "Oh, I love blue, it's one of my favorite colors." Autumn Blaze said, "That's kinda ironic comin' from you, Autumn Blaze." Applejack replied, "I kind of don't like this shade of color." Twilight Sparkle said, "Me neither." Sunburst said, "I do." Sweetie Belle replied, "Well, let's go to the next one." Sunset Shimmer said, and they enter the Green Room, "Ooh, Yona like this color." Yona said, "Me too, reminds me of the earth pony flag." Apple Bloom replied, "It's alright." Smolder said, "I'm not liking this color too much." Gallus said, "Really? I think it's nice." Sandbar replied, "Well, I think that's everything here, let's go up to the next floor." Twilight Sparkle said, and they find the Grand Staircase and go up to the second floor while admiring the pictures on the wall. The group arrives onto the next floor and walk forward, they see the Center Hall to their rights, and the East Sitting Hall to their lefts, they look at the East Sitting Hall since it was small, "That yellow is hurting my eyes." Ocellus said, "Yeah, mine too." Smolder replied, and they walk to it and look to their lefts and saw the Queens' Bedroom, they saw the Queens' Sitting Room as well, they look and admire them, they leave the East Sitting Hall and see the Lincoln Bedroom and Lincoln Sitting Room, they admired it and went to the Center Hall next, but stop and look at the Treaty Room, they liked the design overall and they continue to the Center Hall. The group go through the Center Hall and enjoy it, they walk into the West Sitting Hall next, they liked it, "I will admit, I do like this room's design a bit." Tempest Shadow said, "I do like the plants in here, I like the yellow color, too." Autumn Blaze replied, Applejack and Apple Bloom agreed, they see the bedrooms and Dressing Room, they looked plain, which disappointed them, they walk through them and enter the Yellow Oval Room, "Wow, this room is bright." Sunset Shimmer said, "Yeah, it's hurting my eyes a bit, though." Twilight Sparkle replied, the others agree and they go out to the Truman Balcony, they look forward and admire the view, "I wish this was a little higher." Sunburst said, "Me too, it would've made a good place to take a picture." Starlight Glimmer replied, the others agreed and they walk back, they decided they have seen enough and go back to the Center Hall, to the left and north and go up the stairs. The group goes up the stairs and were on the top floor, they arrive into the Center Hall on the third floor, "Ooh, I like this red." Scootaloo said, the others agreed it was nice and they continue, they see the offices and thought it looked plain compared to the other rooms, they see the Game Room, they only saw the pool table, "What's this?" Sweetie Belle asked, everybody was curious about the pool table as well, but they leave and go into the Center Hall again, they see the bedrooms and turn north and go to the Linen Room, they all saw it was a room that stored tablecloth and where the ironing was done, which disappointed them, they turn around and see the Cedar Room, but they did not like how it looked, they walk around more and go east, they see the Music Room, Pinkie Pie was exicted and hops there, Autumn Blaze also became excited and ran there, but they stopped with disappointment, "Where are the instruments?" Pinkie Pie asked, the others saw there was only a few instruments, they leave in disappointment and go to the north and see the Workout Room, "I think this is the last room." Twilight Sparkle said, "This place looks awesome." Rainbow Dash said, "Yeah, this would be a good spot to practice mah buckin'." Applejack replied, "I could use this room as well." Tempest Shadow said, and they all go back to the bottom floor and exit the White House while the humans become shocked when they realized they have forgotten to build the East Wing and the West Wing of the White House. The group goes to the United States Supreme Court Building next, they stop and look at the outside with surprise, they see the statues and carvings in the building, along with the carving at the bottom of the two flag poles, "Wow, even the flag poles are decorated." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, this must've took forever to make." Sunset Shimmer replied, and they all continue admiring the building and they all see the statues, they also see words carved at the top of the building, "Equal justice under law." Twilight Sparkle said, "Look at the carvings above it." Grubber said, and they all do, they were all surprised to see them, "Ah've never seen carvin's like that before." Apple Bloom said, "Me neither, I didn't think something like this was possible." Sunburst replied, they continue looking and look at the Contemplation of Justice statue and the Authority of Law statue, "Let's go in." Twilight Sparkle said, and they do. The group enters and they see the marble pillars, which made them gasp with awe, "Wow, they're big." Autumn Blaze said, they walk around and see one room had decorations on the ceiling, much to their surprises, they keep walking through and liked the building, they finish and exit. The group walks to the Washington Monument and admire it, they also look at the Lincoln Memorial and admire that as well, they left shortly afterwards. Twilight Sparkle uses telekinesis to make herself and the others float up and they look at the Great Wall, they were all surprised, "Wow, this is big." Starlight Glimmer said, "It's huge." Sunburst replied, "I can't believe how long this is, I can't imagine how long this took to make." Twilight Sparkle said, they finish looking at the Great Wall and go to the northwest. The group looks at the Pyramid of Giza and its small pyramids, "This looks fun to explore." Ocellus said, and they try, but the inside of the pyramids were tight and some of the creatures could not fit through the small spaces, so they decide to look at the Statue of Liberty and the Effiel Tower, they liked them both, "How long do ya think those two took to build, Twilight?" Applejack asked, "I don't know, but probably a really long time, with all of the putting together and the carving." Twilight Sparkle replied, they then go to the Big Ben clock tower. The group looks for an entrance but do not see one, "How do we enter?" Gallus asked, the others wondered as well, "Teleporation." a male human replied from behind, it surprised them and they turn around, "It's only a part of a building, but the Big Ben was the most famous part, so Emperor Volvox put it here while he discarded the rest." the male human said, the group looks at it with surprise and the Big Ben's clock tower's bell begins to ring, which scared some of the group, but they get themselves together and go to the Effiel Tower next, "Rods! We never had those underwater!" Silverstream said, they all look and Twilight Sparkle was uneasy, "What's the matter, Twi?" Applejack asked, "These rods and the way they're structured, they look almost exactly like bone structure." Twilight Sparkle replied, the group's awe dies down, "That is unnerving to know." Sunburst said, "You think structure built from real bones?" Yona asked, "I hope not." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they continue to look at it, Fluttershy was scared, "Fluttershy, darling, what is the matter?" Rarity asked, "It's... so... tall, it... scares... me." Fluttershy replied, "You could just fly up and fly back down." Smolder said, the others agreed, "I've seen enough, let's go." Gallus said, and they all go to the west of the country. The group arrives at the Parthenon and were disappointed, "This place looks destroyed." Sunset Shimmer said, "That's because it is destroyed." Volvox replied, "Not everythin's gone, see, look up at the roof." Apple Bloom said, and they see the carvings near the roof, "There's a statue inside, too." Applejack said, and they all see the Statue of Athena, "Well, let's go, I don't think there's much more here." Twilight Sparkle said, "Still, these pillars, they remind me of Cloudsdale." Rainbow Dash replied, "Yes, they look just like them." Fluttershy said, "Well, let's go." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go to the southwest of Vinci. The group goes to the Sedlec Ossuary first and enter, they stop and scream in terror when they see all of the bones inside the ossuary, they all stood there with their mouths and eyes' wide open, "Wh... What is this?!" Rarity asked, the others were still frozen in shock at what they saw, they all look on in shock and could not believe what was before them, they all step back outside in fear. The group sees Notre-Dame de Paris next, they did stop to look at the Terracotta Army briefly, "I can't imagine how long this took to make." Sunset Shimmer said, "Me neither, probably longer than how long most of us have been alive." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I would've liked an army like this." Tempest Shadow said, "Well, come on, let's go to that area over there." Twilight Sparkle said, and they do. The group looks at Notre-Dame de Paris, they hear the bells ringing and loved the sounds, they go to the entrance and see the carvings on the door, which they liked, they go through the inside and were in awe at all of the windows, they also admire the cross at the front, they continue to explore and go upstairs, they see the bells being rung by a hunchbacked man, they watch him ring the bells and were in awe at his acrobatic skills, "Um, excuse us." Fluttershy said, the man turned around and they were initially shocked by his deformed appearance, "Don't be alarmed, I am Quasimodo, I am the bellringer of Notre Dame." the man said, "What happened to you?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I was born this way." Quasimodo replied, "Where are your parents?" Rarity asked, "I never met them." Quasimodo replied, saddening the group, "Well, what are you doing here?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Ringing the bells, it's my job." Quasimodo replied, "I wanna try!" Pinkie Pie said, "Sure, follow my lead." Quasimodo replied, and the two ring the bells. Pinkie Pie and Quasimodo jump around and ring the bells, the group smiled since they thought the bells sounded beautiful, "I wanna try!" Silverstream said, and she flies up, "Me too." Autumn Blaze said as she ran to them, "We wanna try, too." Sweetie Belle said as she ran with Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, they all ring the bells together and have fun, they finish after a while and Quasimodo had fun with them, "Okay, everycreature, let's go to the next one." Twilight Sparkle said, and they leave while Quasimodo waves bye at them. The group goes to the south of Vinci and saw the Colosseum, "Looks a bit like Cloudsdale's architecture." Fluttershy said, "You're right, it does." Rainbow Dash replied, the group looks at it and were curious, "What was this place used for?" Sandbar asked, the others wondered as well and they entered, they see the inside was circular and full of seats, "Ooh, I know, maybe this was used for parties." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, it must've been a big one." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Or maybe a concert." Spike said, the others wondered as well, "Well, there's almost nothing here, let's go to the next area." Twilight Sparkle said, and they do. The group goes to the southeast and enter Angkor Wat next, "*gasp* Look at the walls!" Silverstream said excitedly, they all do and were in awe at the stone carvings in the walls, "Wow, I have never seen wall carvings like these before." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all continue, they all admire the wall carvings and statues inside Angkor Wat, they were extremely impressed with the details the builders put into them, "I have traveled to nearly every land in this world, but I have never seen a building like this one." Tempest Shadow said, "That's really a shame, I would've liked to see it." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I may come back here, all of these wall carvings are giving me new ideas for outfits." Rarity said, and they all continue walking around and Ocellus soon got startled, "What's the matter, Ocellus?" Fluttershy asked, "That face there scared me." Ocellus replied, they all look and see a big face carved into several parts of Angkor Wat, shocking the group, "Wow, even the best builders in Equestria would have trouble buildin' somethin' like that." Applejack said, "I wonder how they did it." Rainbow Dash said, "Well, let's go, I think that's all we'll see here." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they go. The group goes to Seitenkyū next and were already in shock and awe at the temple itself, "*gasp* WOW!!" Silverstream said excitedly, the group looks at the dragon carvings in the pillars outside, along with the dragons on the top of the roof, they also see gold carvings of people under the roof, and many decorations around the outside of Seitenkyū, and two stone carvings of lions on the outside, they all walk forward and see more carvings around the entrances, "Wow, whoever made this must've been very talented." Fluttershy said, they go through and saw there was no inside, "What the?" Sunburst asked, "There's no inside." Spike said, "Well, let's go to the next one, I think we're almost done." Twilight Sparkle said, and they leave. The group goes to Al-Khazneh next and look at the outside of the building, "Ooh, my family can make something like this." Pinkie Pie said, "Can we try, Applejack?" Apple Bloom asked, "Nope, Ah don't think so, we ain't rock carvers." Applejack replied, "Look at the detail." Sunset Shimmer said, and everybody saw the carvings and decorations carved into the pillars, the leaves under the roofs, and the angels in the walls, they finish and enter, but saw it was empty, "Aw, it's empty." Autumn Blaze said, "But still, admire the carvings, they actually made a building out of rock, I've never seen anything like this." Twilight Sparkle replied, "It is kind of cool." Rainbow Dash said, and they all leave and go to Prambanan next, "Yona like this place already." Yona said, "Wow, look at those rooftops." Starlight Glimmer said, "Ugh, dull color, I think it could use more colors." Rarity replied, they continue looking around and see many smaller temples, "Wow, how many temples are there?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Two hundred forty." a female human that was nearby replied, shocking the group, "Wow, that's a lot of temples." Applejack said, "Should we go inside?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "No, it would take too long, I'm sorry, everycreature, but we have to skip this one." Twilight Sparkle said, the younger members groan with disappointment and go to the east of Vinci. The group goes to the Taj Mahal and Twilight Sparkle stopped with awe, "You alright, Twilight?" Applejack asked, Twilight Sparkle continued to just stand there and look, "I can't believe it, so even, so symmetrical, this building is perfect." Twilight Sparkle said, she stood back and kept looking and admiring, "Come on, Twilight, not now." Spike said as he slapped her to snap her out of her daze, "Sorry, I just like how even it is, let's go." Twilight Sparkle said, and they do, they look at the Taj Mahal and admire the deocrations on it, "Ah gotta admit, Ah do wonder how they got it so perfectly even and symmetrical." Applejack said, "I think this place is perfect for me to take a picture of the natives here in their different clothes." Rarity said, "Why here for?" Ocellus asked, "Why? Because this building is perfectly symmetrical, I think it will make the perfect background." Rarity replied, and they enter and saw guards, "Halt, entry into this place is prohibitted." a male guard said, shocking the group, "Why?" Sandbar asked, "This area is sacred, nobody can enter." a second male guard replied, "Yona demand entry." Yona said, "Nope, we can't enter either, not even Emperor Volvox himself." the first male guard replied, "Oh, come on, please?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Pretty, pretty, please?" Fluttershy asked, "Sorry, but we can't, us and you guys will get arrested." the second male guard replied, "Then why do you have this place in your country?" Sandbar asked, "For the art on the outside." the first male guard replied, they all still wanted to enter, "It's no use, everycreature, we have to leave." Twilight Sparkle said, the younger members of the group groan with disappointment, "Come on, last area, let's go." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go. The group goes to the northeast of Vinci and the first thing they notice is the Leshan Giant Buddha, "This thing is almost as big as Dragon Lord Torch." Spike said, "Yeah, I can't believe they actually made something like this." Smolder said, Silverstream flew around and looked at the statue, "Look at the details." Silverstream said, they all look and see the Leshan Giant Buddha had fingernails, toenails, hair, a mouth, a nose, eyes, ears, eyebrows, and a dot on his forehead, "Wow, this is the biggest statue I've ever seen." Sunburst said, "Me too, I can't imagine how long this must've took to carve." Twilight Sparkle replied, they all finish and look at the Moai around the northeast of Vinci, "What are these?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Moai statues, they are from a place in our world called Easter Island, I only put a few of them in my country, there's a total of over nine hundred statues." Volvox replied, shocking the group, "What do they represent?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Don't know, the people who made them were already gone when we found them." Dommiel replied, the group was surprised by looked at the last thing in the country, the Burj Khalifa, "Whoa, this thing is huge." Sandbar said, "Yeah, this is the biggest building I've ever seen." Twilight Sparkle replied, Fluttershy quivered in fear from the size, Silverstream flew up to the top but quickly flew down while shivering, "It's cold at the top." Silverstream said, "I figured, the top is even higher than Cloudsdale." Rainbow Dash replied, "Even the Storm King's ships can't fly above this, we would've crashed right into it." Tempest Shadow said, Rainbow Dash flies around and looks through the rooms, "This one looks more... modern when compared to the others." Rainbow Dash said, "That's the newest addition to my country, it was built by machine rather than by hand." Volvox replied, "Still, wow." Autumn Blaze said, "Well, that's everything, let's head home." Twilight Sparkle said, and they do and Twilight Sparkle used her magic to send the pictures of the insides of the areas from within her memory to Princess Celestia. The next day comes and Vinci was having a normal day, "Emperor Volvox." Princess Celestia said as she flew to him, she flies up to his three heads and flaps her wings as she faces him, "I have received a report yesterday that one of your buildings uses bones as decorations." Princess Celestia said, "Ah, yes, the Sedlec Ossuary, it's over there." Volvox replied as he pointed the index claw of his front right foot to it and Princess Celestia looked at it, she looks back at him, "Why do you have such a thing?" Princess Celestia asked, "I thought it was unique, and my subjects liked it, so I put it here." Volvox replied, "The deceased should rest, Volvox." Princess Celestia said while raising her voice a little, "They do rest, we have a catacombs under the country." Volvox replied in a slightly annoyed tone, the world's natives look at him with shock, "Did he just say catacombs?" Princess Skystar asked, Princess Celestia glared at him, "Do you not have a cemetery?" Princess Celestia asked, "Everybody has their own ways of burying the dead." Volvox replied, Princess Celestia looks and sees preserving jars, cremated ashes in pots, some cremated ashes dumped into the water, decaying bodies at the high places of the country, hanging coffins, decorated sarcophaguses, corpses being mummified, highly decorated Egyptian tombs, and people posing and taking pictures with their dead relatives. Princess Celestia was surprised but she faced Volvox again, "I do not appreciate the deceased being used in a such a way, they should rest." Princess Celestia said, "We have holidays to honor the dead and our ancestors." Volvox said, "You still should not be posing with the deceased or mummifying them." Princess Celestia replied, "The fireflies at night will let us know if they do not appreciate it." Volvox said, "Fireflies?" Princess Celestia asked, "Yes, the fireflies that are here at night sometimes are actually souls of the dead, they are warriors who have died in battle." Volvox replied, Princess Celestia was surprised, "What are they doing out at night?" Princess Celestia asked, "Usually to return to their families." Volvox replied, "Well, I would like for you to put the deceased back, they endured enough hardships in life." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away while Volvox just watched his country. A few hours pass and Volvox just watched his people while he looked around, the clouds above come down and form into Hermes, "Good news, Volvox, we have found the remaining parts of your country, including your original temple." Hermes said, "Okay, just go ahead and make it appear south of the country." Volvox replied, and he goes back into the sky. A warping sound was heard to the south of Vinci and everybody watched, the area appears and the rest of Vinci appeared, everybody saw more things that astounded them, they saw the Temple of Artemis from Ephesus, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, a Statue of Zeus from Olympia, the Mausoleum from Halicarnassus, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, Biete Medhani Alem, Biete Mariam, Biete Maskal, Biete Denagel, Biete Golgotha Mikael, Biete Amanuel, Biete Qeddus Mercoreus, Biete Abba Libanos, Biete Gabriel-Rufael, Biete Lehem, Biete Ghiorgis, and the Padmanabhaswamy Temple. The group looks on with awe while Volvox got ready to rearrange his country, "Alright, stand aside, I have to rearrange the country." Volvox said, and he did, he put the Temple of Artemis to the west, beside the Parthenon to its right, he put the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to the northeast, to the left of the Burj Khalifa, he put the Statue of Zeus to the northeast, to the left of the Leshan Giant Buddha, he put the Mausoleum from Halicarnassus to the southeast, behind Prambanan, he put the Colossus of Rhodes to the northwest, to the right of the Statue of Liberty, he put the Lighthouse of Alexandria to the north, behind the Great Wall, he put Biete Medhani Alem, Biete Mariam, Biete Maskal, Biete Denagel, and Biete Golgotha Mikael to the north, also behind the Great Wall, he put Biete Amanuel, Biete Qeddus Mercoreus, Biete Abba Libanos, Biete Gabriel-Rufael, and Biete Lehem to the south, around the Colosseum, he put Biete Ghiorgis to the west, behind the Parthenon, and he put the Padmanabhaswamy Temple in the center, behind El Castillo. The native creatures of the land look at the new Vinci and were astounded, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were surprised by the eleven monolithic churches, "Oh my." Princess Celestia said with surprise, the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Tempest Shadow, and Autumn Blaze return and look at the new areas, "Are these churches... underground?!" Silverstream asked with surprise and excitement, "Yes." Tom replied, "Wow, how did you guys make these?" Sandbar asked, "Just a lot of rock carving and patience." Dommiel replied, "What about that building with the gold roof, what is that?" Tempest Shadow asked, "That's the Padmanabhaswamy Temple, it's my old home." Volvox replied, "Padman what now?" Applejack asked, "Never mind." Volvox said, "I must say, I do like that building with the plants there." Rarity said, "That's the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of our older structures." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "What is that statue over there?" Grubber asked, "It's a statue of Zeus, another old structure." Tom replied, "What is that thing there supposed to be?" Applejack asked as she pointed her front right hoof forward, "That's the Mausoleum from Halicarnassus, it was created as the resting place for a king's wife." Volvox replied, they look and see the carvings and sculptures around it, much to their astonishment, "What about that new statue?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "The Colossus of Rhodes, it was built to symbolize a victory over a battle with an army that was surrounding them." Dommiel replied, "How about that building there behind you guys? What is that?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "That's the Lighthouse of Alexandria, it was made to help guide ships at night, it was abandoned by the humans there when the earthquakes around there got too powerful." the Count of Saint Germain replied, surprising the group, "Even though these are back, my country is still not fully complete." Volvox said, surprising the group since Vinci was huge, "What's missing?" Sweetie Belle asked, "I still have one more structure and seventy two more statues that need to be returned." Volvox replied, surprising the group, "Seventy two statues?!" Rarity asked with shock, "Yes, before I moved to my current home, my temple had a ramp that led to the entrance with seventy two big statues, thirty six on each side." Volvox replied, surprising the group, "What is the last structure to your country?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The Tower of Babel." Volvox replied, "Can we explore these new areas?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "There's not much to explore, and my old home is off limits due to religious beliefs by the people here." Volvox replied, "Wait, are you just decidin' where to live?" Applejack asked, "Not exactly, I chose that place as my old home because I thought it was the most artistic and creative, but I can't stand on the roof and watch, that is why I switched to this one, the humans don't mind either, since they want my home to be the most creative looking one, so they decide as well." Volvox replied, "So... you guys hold a vote on where you should live." Sunburst said, Volvox nods with his three heads, the clouds come down and Hermes forms, "We just found the last remants of your country, Volvox, we're transferring it now." Hermes said, and he goes up into the sky. More parts of Vinci appear to the south of it and they saw a ramp, seventy two statues, and the Tower of Babel, shocking the world's natives, "You all should leave, I have to rearrange my country one last time." Volvox said, and they do. Volvox rearranges the country and puts the ramp in front of the Padmanabhaswamy Temple's entrance, thirty six statues to each side, and the Tower of Babel in the center, the Padmanabhaswamy Temple was now in the very center of Vinci, with the Tower of Babel to its right, and El Castillo to its left. The ponies meditate again and try to enter the astral plane, Zecora and Mage Meadowbrook try to make potions to make it easier, but they were distracted by rumbling from up north, they all look and see the humans and yaks in Yakyakistan doing the Running of the Bulls, they run and it causes an avalanche, the snow falls and covers the Crystal Empire, the ponies stop what they were doing and go to Yakyakistan. The ponies arrive there and see the humans and yaks having fun, Prince Rutherford and Yona were among them, "Excuse us." Princess Cadence said, the humans and yaks look at them, "What are you doing, Yona?" Sandbar asked, "People teaching us traditional custom called Running of the Bulls." Yona replied, "Running of the Bulls?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yaks having fun." Prince Rutherford replied, "I wanna try!" Pinkie Pie said, "Come on over, then." a male human said, and Pinkie Pie hopped over, "Okay, we just run and they chase us, plain and simple." a female human said, "Ready, set, go." a second male human said, and they and Pinkie Pie run while the yaks chase them, "This does look fun. Wait for me." Rainbow Dash said, and she joined, "Wait." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all look at her, "What is the point of this?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It is a part of nine day celebration from our home." a third male human replied, "Can you all please postpone it? You all caused an avalanche and buried my kingdom in snow." Princess Cadence said, they look and see it, "Oh, our deepest apologies, we'll start cleaning now, then." a second female human said, "Thank you." Princess Cadence replied while smiling, and the humans begin using their wind magic to fly and telekinesis to remove the snow while the ponies went back to Equestria. The ponies meditate more and try to reach the astral plane, only Pinkie Pie was able to reach it, "You all need help?" Tom asked, they look and see him, "As matter of fact, yes, we do." Mage Meadowbrook replied, "Okay, good, all of you are sitting down, sit with your upper body standing up, and your hind legs crossed." Tom said, and they do, "Alright, now, tuck your arms into your laps, and close your eyes'." Tom said, they do, "Good. Now, breathe in, and out, like this." Tom said, and inhales through his nose, and exhales through his mouth slowly, "I see the astral plane." Maud Pie said, "I do, too." Limestone Pie said, "Hmm-mm." Marble Pie said in agreement, "Oh my, so many stars." Igneous Rock Pie said, "Aye, more than the sky at night." Cloudy Quartz said, they all continue, "*gasp* I see it, I see the astral plane." Somnambula said, and they all continue, the ponies all soon saw the astral plane, they gasped in awe, "Look at all of the stars." Sweetie Belle said, "It's beautiful." Twilight Sparkle said, "My, it reminds me of the night sky when I was a filly." Mistmane said, "In all of my years of studying, I have never seen anything like this." Star Swirl the Bearded said, and they look, they enjoy the visions and look at the stars floating around the area, "You all see anything floating inside the astral plane?" Flash Magnus asked, "No." the ponies replied together, "I'm havin' a little trouble staying in, lads." Rockhoof said, "Yeah, me too." Rainbow Dash replied, "I'm not having any trouble." Fluttershy said, and they all continue to meditate until they got tired, "Okay, I think we can call it a day, everypony, let's try again another time." Princess Celestia said, and they all get on with their days. Rarity was back with the human women and they were teaching her how to make the outfits of their cultures, Rarity was having trouble, "*pant* *pant* These outfits are a lot harder to make than I thought." Rarity said, she was making many of the outfits by hoof rather than sewing it together, she used her telekinesis to pull the silk thread by thread, which took her a while, the women in there were helping her make them, they also taught her how to make the neck rings, which made her uncomfortable, she was also very uncomfortable looking at the lip plates, "Okay, I'm going to need to take a break for now." Rarity said, and she sits and rests while the women finish making the oufits Rarity was trying to make, "Are we still going to take a picture?" a female human asked, "Yes, darling, after Volvox finishes rearranging his country, we will." Rarity replied, and she rests while the women continue making their own outfits. Twilight Sparkle returned to Vinci and trotted to the center of the country with the books she checked out, which she held with her telekinesis, "Excuse me, I finished all of your books." Twilight Sparkle said, "I see, go ahead and set it aside, my citizens will return them." Volvox replied, he was now standing behind the Padmanabhaswamy Temple. Twilight Sparkle and Spike look at the seventy two statues that were to the sides of the ramp that led to the entrance of the Padmanabhaswamy Temple, each statue was different, and made from gray marble, they see bronze plaques at the bottom of the statues, "What are these?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "They are the people who used to serve me, they died from old age, the plaques are their names." Volvox replied, and she and Spike looked, they see the names of the statues on the left side were Bael, Vassago, Marbas, Amon, Paimon, Gusion, Beleth, Eligos, Botis, Sallos, Marax, Aim, Glasya-Labolas, Ronove, Astaroth, Foras, Gaap, Marchosias, Phenex, Malphas, Focalor, Sabnock, Vine, Vual, Crocell, Balam, Caim, Orobas, Ose, Orias, Zagan, Andras, Andrealphus, Amdusias, Decarabia, and Dantalion, while the names of the statues on the right were Agares, Samigina, Valefor, Barbatos, Buer, Sitri, Leraje, Zepar, Bathin, Purson, Ipos, Naberius, Buné, Berith, Forneus, Asmoday, Furfur, Stolas, Halphas, Raum, Vepar, Shax, Bifrons, Haagenti, Furcas, Alloces, Murmur, Gremory, Amy, Vapula, Valac, Flauros, Kimaris, Belial, Seere, and Andromalius, "Holy guacamole." Spike said, "Did you all carve these by hand, too?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Actually, I made them with my magic, it is to honor them for their service to me." Volvox replied, "Wow, I must admit, I do like this country, so much stuff to look at, it's so fun." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, go on and enjoy, my country is finally complete until my citizens come up with something new to build." Volvox replied, and Twilight Sparkle and Spike fly around to admire the things in the country. Flurry Heart managed to make the Pousse-café after many tries and made excited baby noises, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence clapped at seeing it, Flurry Heart then flew to the Vinci. Flurry Heart flies around excitedly and her wings hit some of the artworks as she looked around, she also used her magic to make her own art, breaking some of them in the process. The humans see what she was doing and restrain her from flying, she used her magic to teleport and make new art, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence teleport to her and try to restrain her. Volvox sees Flurry Heart causing destruction while she tries to make her own art, the yellow eyes on his center head glow and Flurry Heart's horn and wings disappear, shocking Shining Armor and Princess Cadence, Flurry Heart noticed her wings and horn were gone and she began to cry, "What are you doing?!" Princess Cadence asked, "She is destroying my country with her wings and her horn, so I removed them so she does not damage my country more than she already did." Volvox replied, "When are you..." Shining Armor asked, "I'll return them when she calms down, she's still welcome to explore, but make sure she doesn't break anymore things." Volvox replied, Flurry Heart looked down with shame, "Look at the destruction you caused as well." Volvox said, and Flurry Heart sees it, she has caused more destruction than she thought, "Go on and explore, you'll have your wings and horn back after you stop destroying my country." Volvox said, and Shining Armor and Princess Cadence walk together with Flurry Heart on Shining Armor's back. Pinkie Pie hops around and sees several humans doing a squat dance, "Ooh." Pinkie Pie said, and she hops to them, the humans dancing look at her, "What are you all doing?" Pinkie Pie asked, "The prisyadka." a male human replied, "Can I try?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Sure." a male child replied, and Pinkie Pie tried, she tries to squat while standing only on her hind hoofs, but she swings her arms around as she loses balance and screams as she falls, she tries again and falls again, she looks and sees the humans doing the dance also had their arms crossed, she crosses her front legs across her chest and squats down slowly, she gets it and then tries to kick her hind legs up, she stumbled as she tried, "This is harder than I thought." Pinkie Pie said, "Keep trying, it took us years to master it, too." a male second human replied, and Pinkie Pie keeps trying. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna fly around Vinci and look at the rock carved churches, impressed by the carvings, "What do you think, sister?" Princess Celestia asked, "I'll admit, they are impressive, especially since they seem to have been carved out of the ground." Princess Luna replied, "Yes, and they seem to have been carved by one piece of rock, I still wonder how they did it." Princess Celestia said, "Should we try making some of own in Equestria?" Princess Luna asked, "Well, we can, but it might take a while." Princess Celestia replied, "No, it shouldn't, we can use our magic to make these, imagine how many tourists it would attract." Princess Luna said, "Hmm, true, come on, sister, let's look around more and see the things Twilight reported to us." Princess Celestia said, and they fly around, careful not to break anything. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna look around and soon see the carvings in the walls of some of the buildings, "Wow, I think we can some of our own wall carvings as well." Princess Celestia said, "Indeed, I was thinking maybe we can make some statues as well." Princess Luna replied, and they continue flying around and enjoying the views. Shining Armor and Princess Cadence explore Vinci and look around while Flurry Heart sulked on Shining Armor's back, "Now, now, Flurry Heart, just stay calm and look around, and you'll have your horn and wings back." Shining Armor said, Flurry Heart let out an angry groan, "Look, Flurry Heart, look at the pretty flowers in front of us." Princess Cadence said, Flurry Heart did not, the two notice she was not happy, but they continue walking around and admiring the plants, flowers, paintings, and sculptures scattered all over the country, along with the art on the manholes, "Flurry Heart, look." Princess Cadence said, and she did reluctantly, she looked back down with sorrow, "Come on, Flurry Heart, let's give it a try." Shining Armor said, and they see painting supplies nearby, they try and Flurry Heart found making art on the manhole very enjoyable, she begins to have fun and starts painting the ground, the humans look and smile, but they went on with their days while Flurry Heart has fun. The other countries around the world were inspired by the artwork of Vinci and begin making their own, the ponies try to make sculptures, the dragons began carving architecture into their mountains and make new weapons and armor, the griffons begin building sculptures of famous griffons, the yaks try to build art from wood but have trouble thinking of what to build, the changelings decided to try carving art into the walls of their caves, the hippogriffs and seaponies try to grow plants and make some of their food art, and the kirins tried everything they had. The humans and Tom go over to help the creatures make the things and the dragons and griffons were a bit unwelcoming, but the dragons warmed up, "Do people have any large weapons back at home?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "Sorry, but no." a female human replied, and they all continue helping the world's natives make their art. Pinkie Pie trots around and was looking at the dances the humans were doing, she tried all of them, some were easier than others, she was able to do the prisyadka perfectly after a few tries, she decides to walk around a bit and try more dances, there was one that caught her eye in particular, she trotted to go try it, "Excuse me, what is this dance called?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Capoeira." a male human replied, "Can I learn?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Well, you're not bipedal like us, so we're not sure if you can even do it." a second male human replied, "I wanna try!" Pinkie Pie said while jumping up and down, "Okay, let's see what you can do." the first male human replied, and the humans show her some of the dance moves, Pinkie Pie tries it and had a lot of trouble, the humans tutor her and try to teach her how to do the dance. Rainbow Dash flies around and looks at Vinci, but she sees something that caught her mind in the south of the country, "Hey! You guys might wanna come see this!" Rainbow Dash said aloud, and the world's natives came over, "What is it?" Autumn Blaze asked, "You guys need to be in the air to see it." Rainbow Dash replied, the flying creatures pick up the creatures who could not fly while the seaponies changed to hippogriffs, and the unicorns and kirins use telekinesis on themselves, they see it and let out several exclaims of surprise, they see the pictures Rainbow Dash saw, "What are those?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "What?" Volvox asked, "Those things on the ground to the south of your country." Twilight Sparkle replied, Volvox stands up straight and looks, he sees the pictures on the grounds to the south of his country, "Oh, those, I forgot about those, what you all are looking at are the Nazca Lines, they were originally in a desert in our world." Volvox said, "What do they represent?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We don't know, we just found them, and I brought them here to preserve them." Volvox replied, "Were they a part of your country when you first came here?" Princess Luna asked, "No, it came after the gods transferred the rest of my country here." Volvox replied, they all look and Silverstream gasps with excitement, "Look! There's more over there!" Silverstream said as she pointed the index claw of her front right talon to the country's east, they all look and see more pictures on the ground, "I forgot about those, too, those are called Blythe Intaglios, we don't know who created those, either." Volvox replied, they all look more, "There's another one to the west, too." Princess Ember said, they all go the east of Vinci and look, they see a white picture in a green hill, "Oh, I forgot about that one, too, that one's called the Uffington White Horse." Volvox said, "What does it represent?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Nobody knows." Dommiel replied, and they all look at the pictures on the grounds and go back to their regular days. A few hours pass and Trixie begins to do a play in Vinci, Starlight Glimmer, and several humans who agreed to help, "Come one, come all, and witness the Great and Powerful Trixie." Trixie said as she appeared from a huff of smoke, the humans were excited, "Now, watch in awe, as the Great Powerful Trixie, and her equally Great and Powerful assistant perform a show for you all to enjoy!" Trixie said, and she and Starlight Glimmer begin casting magic and doing optical illusions while the humans used their elemental magic to set the setting and atmosphere of the show, which the humans admired, "Now, Trixie will blow your minds with a new trick I have made." Trixie said, and she casts a spell that looks like she changes the gender of Starlight Glimmer, but she actually just replaced her with a stallion, the humans gasp with awe, "Now to reverse the spell." Trixie said, and she makes the stallion disappear and Starlight Glimmer reappear, the humans cheer as they watched. Trixie and Starlight Glimmer do illusion tricks and some of the humans see right through it, but they did not tell the others, they then do disappearing acts for sometime and the show ended and the humans cheered while Trixie and Starlight Glimmer bowed. Starlight Glimmer and Trixie enjoyed the praise and the humans began throwing roses at them, which baffled them, "What is this?" Trixie asked, she picks one up with her telekinesis, "Roses?" Starlight Glimmer asked, and more were thrown, the two yelp with fear and put up shields to avoid getting cut by the thorns, the humans stop after a while and they continue cheering, the two put their shields down and bow, they leave and the human continue on with their days. Twilight Sparkle went back to the country and went to go see Volvox again, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, Volvox looked at her, "Do you have anymore books?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Well, there is one, but no one understands it." Volvox replied, "Can I see it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, and Volvox uses his telekinesis to get it, he gives it to Twilight Sparkle, "What is it called?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The Voynich Manuscript." Volvox replied, and Twilight Sparkle opens it, she looks and sees she could not read the book, "I don't know this language, either." Twilight Sparkle said, "No one does." Volvox replied, and Twilight Sparkle gives it back to him, "Do you have any other books?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Of course, if you're interested." Volvox replied, "No, I was just curious, I need a break from all of those books I read earlier." Twilight Sparkle said, "Did The King in Yellow drive you crazy?" Volvox asked, "Actually, no, I did find them to be weird, though." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Okay, go on, I need to watch my subjects." Volvox said, and Twilight Sparkle left. Fluttershy walked around Vinci while seeing the animals that roamed around the country, she stopped when she saw art that caught her interest, "Ooh, I've never seen those before." Fluttershy said as she looks at artwork shaped like animals, "Wow, I've always wanted to try one of these." Fluttershy said as she looked on, "Maybe you can try this." a female human replied, and she showed Fluttershy animals that were shaped from folded paper, "What is this called?" Fluttershy asked, "Origami, we have more than just animals." the female human replied, "What about those carvings of the animals there?" Fluttershy asked, "Zoomorphism." the female human replied, Fluttershy was liking the place, "Come on, we'll show you how to make origami." the female human said, and she and other humans around there teach Fluttershy how to make origami. Time passes and everybody was getting ready for bed, the ponies hear loud rumbling in Yakyakistan, it shook the ground as well, the ponies went there and saw the humans on the back of the yaks while the yaks ran, "What are you guys doing now?" Sandbar asked, "Yak racing." a male human child replied, "Yak racing?" Rarity asked, "Yona like yak racing." Yona said, "I can see that." Sandbar replied, "So, y'all race with yaks back at home?" Applejack asked, "We race with horses, too." a female human child replied, "Also donkeys." a male adult human said, "And zebras." a female adult human said, "Don't forget elephants." a second male child said, "It looks like only the yaks is doing the racing, though." Fluttershy said, "Yaks run, people guide." Prince Rutherford replied, "I wanna try!" Pinkie Pie said, "We need someone to ride on your back, then." a second male adult human replied, "Never mind." Pinkie Pie said, "Can you all keep it quiet? It's almost bedtime." Princess Celestia said, the humans and yaks look and saw it was almost dark, "Oh, we have to go to bed, too, see you all tomorrow." a second female adult human said, and they fly home and everybody went to sleep. The next day comes and Ocellus was helping the other changelings decorate their home's walls with carvings inspired by the carvings from Vinci, they changed into different animals and objects in order to make the artwork, the kids were having fun, everycreature in the world were trying their best to create more art since they loved the art in Vinci. Flurry Heart was drawing on the manholes and saw the origami, she tries it and has trouble, "Take your time, this takes years of practice." a male human said, and Flurry Heart tried again, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence tried as well, they used their hoofs to fold the papers, the humans also introduced kirigami to the three, they tried it and had a lot of fun, Volvox thought Flurry Heart has calmed down enough, "Alright, bring her here." Volvox said, and they do, he makes Flurry Heart's horn and wings come back, much to her happiness. Flurry Heart begins doing origami and kirigami with her magic, she could not make the art properly, "I think we've learned enough." Shining Armor said, "Come on, Flurry Heart, let's see what else they got." Princess Cadence said, and they travel together. Rarity was in front of the Taj Mahal and had the women stand together so she could have Photo Finish take a picture, "Stand still, darlings, and go on and smile." Rarity said, and the women did while they showed off their outfits for the picture. Everything was set and they hear dancing, they saw Pinkie Pie doing ballet as she moved around the area, it startled some of the women, "Pinkie!" Rarity said sternly, which startled her and she looked, "Move out of ze way, I'm trying to take a picture here." Photo Finish said, and Pinkie Pie did while embarrassed, the picture was taken and Pinkie Pie's party cannon went off, "Fashion party!" Pinkie Pie said loudly, and a festival begins. The world's natives look at Vinci and the ponies were taking pictures, Sunset Shimmer wandered around Vinci and took pictures of everything, she loved their artwork very much, Tempest Shadow and Grubber would also take airbourne photos of Vinci, Autumn Blaze took pictures as well, "Well, what do we do now, Volvox?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "We wait for until when Hermes and the others can send us back, however long that will take." Volvox replied, "This was actually a pretty friendly place." Dommiel said, Giovi nodded with a smile, "I agree, we actually had no problems here, aside from a few unfriendly griffons over there." Tom replied, "Yes, and the natives are now using our art as inspiration, I hope they can create great things." Volvox said, the other four nod while smiling, "We hope so, too." Princess Celestia said as she flew to them, the five look at her, "What you all have created is wonderful, we have never seen such artwork in our world, you all have been an inspiration to us all, we are making our own, it'll be a while before we create anything like you all, but we'll get there." Princess Celestia said, "We'll probably be gone by then." Dommiel replied, "Well, we have many different magic spells, maybe we can find you all when we are done." Princess Celestia said, "Sure, I'd like that." Volvox replied, Princess Celestia smiled, and she flew back to where she was. Volvox looks around and saw Twilight Sparkle looking at scrolls and many other written documents, Rainbow Dash was doing an air show with the humans using wind magic, Fluttershy was tending to the animals and learning about the zodiac, Pinkie Pie learned how to make food art and the traditional dances of all human cultures, Rarity was looking at the fashion, Applejack was learning how to plant flora to make them look like shapes from overhead, Big Macintosh was looking at wood carvings, Granny Smith was watching the humans plant flora to make art, Spike was learning how to bake different confectionaries, Sunburst was reading their books, Starlight Glimmer and Trixie were watching human plays, Sunset Shimmer was taking pictures of everything, Princess Celestia was learning about the sundials, Princess Luna was learning about the horoscope and the constellations, Princess Cadence was watching a Kabuki play with Shining Armor and Flurry Heart, Tempest Shadow and Grubber looked at the sculptures and statues, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle were looking at the manhole arts, Sandbar was learning poetry, Gallus was admiring the architecture, Ocellus was learning about meditation, Yona was trying other yak activities with the humans, Smolder admired the art of the gemstones, Silverstream was learning different methods on how to paint, Autumn Blaze continued taking pictures of the country so she can try to replicate the same things back at home, Dragon Lord Torch was looking at the country and admiring it, Princess Ember was learning martial arts, Grampa Gruff was flying around and looking at the place, Prince Rutherford was doing yak racing in Vinci, King Thorax was looking at the carvings in the walls of the temples, Pharynx was looking at the roofs of the temples, Princess Skystar was looking at the jewelry, Queen Novo was trying the beauty products, General Seaspray was learning about the knights and samurais, Sky Beak was learning human music, Ocean Flow was learning human cuisine, Terramar was walking around and looking at the country, Rain Shine was learning how the humans made their tea, and everybody else learned new things while exploring Vinci. Volvox looks around and saw the ponies trying human clothing, he saw Rockhoof wearing a kilt, and playing the bagpipe, Mistmane was wearing a cheongsam, but he stopped looking around when he saw Rarity was trying on everything, which caught his attention for the time. The clouds come down and Hermes forms, "Good news, Volvox, we have fixed the problem that has caused you to come here, we can take you back." Hermes said, "Alright, everyone, you all need to go now." Volvox said, "Hold on, I'm almost done with pictures." Sunset Shimmer replied, "I'm almost done, too." Autumn Blaze said, "Alright, get them done, then." Volvox replied, and they do, everybody left the country, "Alright, it's time to go back." Hermes said, and Vinci was sent back home while the world's natives said bye to them. Volvox and his country were back on Earth and they saw nothing has changed, they had fun in the world they were in, "Okay, let's get back to building new structures." Volvox said, the others agreed and they all begin brainstorming on what they should build next. The world's natives were impressed by the artwork of Vinci and make their own, many years pass and a lot of the things they started on were finally finished, the ponies found Vinci with their magic and sent Volvox pictures, which he liked, and the ponies continued exploring the astral plane and wrote down everything they discovered. Sunset Shimmer went back to the world she was staying in and shared her photos with her friends, they liked the pictures and stored them in their computers, they also discovered similar artworks in their world as well, they decided that they will go and look at them at another time.
DividedVolvox was the first being to ever exist on Earth that was created by the gods and the Maker, he acted on his own during the time of dragons and dinosaurs, and the time of angels and demons, Volvox met Dommiel during that time, who became his best friend, they also had many different creatures roam the Earth, the two manage to befriend a ghoul named Giovi, who lost his claws in battle and replaced them with knife blades, he chose not to speak, believing actions were more powerful than words. The gods eventually created a new species together called the humans, and since Volvox was the most powerful being on the Earth, they entrusted him to take control of their evolution, which Volvox would be their supreme ruler. Volvox was conflicted over how to make the humans, so he made two different types of humans, one group was militaristic and wanted to use things in a practical manner, they were also stoic and did things without emotion, and the other group was artistic and wanted to use things to make art and other beautiful designs, they valued their emotions and used it to make every decision. Volvox, Dommiel, and Giovi make new friends from both sides, the one from the militaristic group was Tom, he was wearing a black Kevlar and nomex pants with black Kevlar pads on his knees, black Kevlar mid-calf length steel-toed combat boots with silver spikes on the vamps and toe caps, a black Kevlar and nomex long-sleeve shirt that was tucked into his pants, black Kevlar pads on his elbows, a black military belt with a silver buckle, a heavy bulletproof black trench coat that went down to the ground with spikes on the shoulders, black Kevlar and nomex wrist-length gloves with silver spikes all over the back parts of them, and silver claws on the finger and thumb tips of the gloves, a round black Kevlar balaclava that covered the entire head except the face, and a black Level IIIA ballistic face mask with black acrylic glass built into the eye areas, a black peaked cap with a black visor, and a light gray tactical vest over his long-sleeve shirt and under his trench coat for extra armor. The human from the artistic side was the Count of Saint Germain, he had an inverted triangular face, somewhat pale skin, straight bright blond hair that went down to his scapulae, a full, well trimmed and groomed moustache, and green eyes, he was wearing a black top hat, a red double breasted long-sleeve tailcoat with black buttons on each side and was undone and black on the inside, and had a white double folded pocket square in the pocket on the left side of his tailcoat, he also wore a black buttoned up vest with gold buttons, a collar of a white shirt could be seen at the top of his vest, a black ascot with white polka dots was tucked into his shirt, he had two gold chains on the right side of his abdomen, and two silver chains on the left side of his waist, he was wearing white striped pants, and white shoes with black throats, vamps, toe caps, and heels, it was tightened by a gold strap going across the throat. Volvox did not know how to choose which group he wanted to rule until the gods proposed an idea, have them fight in a war, and whoever wins will be the group of humans to exist, while the other group and the things they built will be destroyed and erased from existence, Volvox decided it was the best course. Volvox told the humans how which group of humans would be ruled and the war began with Tom and the Count of Saint Germain acting as advisers, the gods also gave out the rules, the main one was no weapons of mass destruction, and everything had to be fair, the militaristic group made up the left half of the country and was called Sapien, the artistic group made up the right half of the country and was called Vinci, and Volvox had to regulate their weapons and armor so one group does not get too powerful, "Which one do you guys hope wins?" Volvox asked, "I don't care which one." Dommiel replied, Giovi nods in agreement, "I prefer Sapien to win." Tom said, "Vinci." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Why?" Volvox asked, "Because adjusting to Sapien is going to be very hard for me." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Same with me if Vinci wins." Tom said, "You two have no hatred for one another, do you?" Volvox asked, "No, besides us wanting the opposite side to win, we actually get along pretty well." Tom replied, the Count of Saint Germain nods, "Come on, let's see how the country looks." Volvox said, and they look, they see Sapien was completely black while Vinci was many colors, Sapien had fortresses while Vinci had silk tents, they look and see Sapien's flag was just a black flag with nothing on it and on a stick, and Vinci's flag was a flag that was yellow on the left, blue on the right, and red in the center, and had a gold serpentine dragon going across it, Sapien also had razor wires and gun turrets on their fortresses while Vinci had wood carvings and paper lanterns on their tents, each tent also had a different animal on the back of it. Volvox and the other four lived in a two storey rectangular building in the back of the country, the left half was black with razor wire and gun turrets on it, and the right half was gray with a gold roof and had rose and vine carvings in the wall, and paper lanterns hanging from the corners of the roof. The humans were fighting and Volvox regulated them so one side does not get too powerful, they all fight and were at a stalemate at the moment, they all soon sense something off, they realize they were being transferred, "Everybody, brace yourselves." Volvox said, and they were transferred elsewhere. The people of Equestria were getting on with their days, but they hear a noise in the sea that was to the northeast of Canterlot and southeast of the Crystal Empire, Volvox's country appeared right before their eyes, the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs look at it with curiosity, the kirins and buffaloes saw it as well, but mostly ignored it, they could not see anything due to the wall and ceiling around the entire country. A white cloud comes down and goes to Canterlot's balcony, where Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were at, the cloud formed into Hermes, which surprised the ponies, "I am Hermes, the messenger of the gods, that nation there was transferred here due to a magic spell gone wrong on our part." Hermes said, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna laughed, "We apologize for the inconvenience." Hermes said, "It's alright, I think having them here gives us a wonderful opportunity to make new friends." Princess Celestia said, Hermes just bowed, "Well, go on and fix it, we have no complaints." Princess Celestia said, and Hermes went back up into the sky. The world's natives look at the wall around Volvox's country and see one side was completely black while the other side was multiple colors with wall carvings on it, "It looks divided." Rainbow Dash said, "I wonder why." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Ooh, ooh, I know, maybe they're having an art competition." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, it's very clear who's winning if that's the case." Rarity replied, they look and see the black part of the wall had barbed wire and spikes around it, "Um, Ah don't think they're havin' an art competition, Ah mean, look at the black half." Applejack said, and they see the spikes and barbed wire on it, "Oh dear, I sure hope none of the animals get caught on it." Fluttershy said, "Still, I wonder what's going on." Spike said, the others nod in agreement. The world's natives watch the country but nothing happens, they all soon metal clanging against one another, "You all hear that?" Sandbar asked, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream nod, they also hear guns and bow and arrows being launched inside, "That don't sound good." Apple Bloom said, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle nod with her, but nothing happens for the rest of the day and they all go to sleep. The next day comes and the noises were still heard behind the walls, "What is going on back there?" Princess Luna asked, "I don't know, sister, but it doesn't sound good." Princess Celestia replied, they all watch and Hermes floated in the sky and was above the country, much bigger than before, "Volvox!" Hermes said, Volvox came out and stood on the ceiling, everycreature was shocked to see the giant three headed creature, "I'm sorry to say this, but since you're in a new world, you have to take the wall down, you're already distracting the natives." Hermes said, "Um, about that." Volvox replied, "I know it's risky, but it's for the best, because if you don't take it down, they're going to blast it down eventually." Hermes said, and he went up into the sky, Volvox sighed, "This is why I had my country far away from the others." Volvox grumbled, and he went back down into his country. An orange aura appears around the wall and ceiling around the country and they go into the water, they see Sapien and Vinci fighting one another with swords, spears, axes, hammers, catapults, guns, bows, arrows, trebuchets, and knives, the world's natives look on with horror while Pinkie Pie screamed. The humans continue fighting one another, oblivious to the fact that Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Spike were coming over, they land in the country with their hot air balloon, the humans continue fighting and there were dead bodies and fire everywhere, "STOP!!" Twilight Sparkle yelled with her Royal Canterlot Voice as she shot a signal fire into the sky from her horn, the humans ignore her and continue fighting, "EXCUSE ME!!" Twilight Sparkle yelled with her Royal Canterlot Voice, the humans continue to ignore her and keep fighting, Twilight Sparkle growls. The humans keep fighting until telekinesis pulls them apart, "Enough." Princess Celestia said as she and Princess Luna flew above the country, Princess Celestia used telekinesis on the humans from Sapien while Princess Luna used it on the humans from Vinci, "What is going on here?" Princess Luna asked, "We are in the middle of a war!" a male human from Vinci replied angrily, "A war? For what?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Which country will be the one to prosper on this island." a male human from Sapien replied calmly, surprising the ponies and Spike, "Let us go, we need to continue the fight." a female human from Vinci said, "How did the ruler come to such a suggestion?" Princess Luna asked, "He didn't, his superiors up in the sky did." a female human from Sapien replied, they all look up to the sky and then back, "Where is he?" Princess Celestia asked, "In that building back there." a female human from Vinci replied, they look and saw the building in the back was divided as well, they go over and look at it, "Excuse us." Twilight Sparkle said, the roof bursts open and Volvox stood on the roof, "What is it?" Volvox asked, "Why aren't you doing anything to stop the war?" Spike asked, "I can't." Volvox replied, "What do you mean you can't?" Rainbow Dash asked, Volvox tries to cast a spell to get rid of the weapons, but his spell is suddenly canceled, "See? Until the war is over, I am powerless, all I can do is regulate their weapons and armor to make sure one side doesn't get too powerful." Volvox replied, surprising the ponies, "Are there anymore rulers?" Princess Luna asked, they see Dommiel, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, and Tom appear, "What do y'all do?" Applejack asked, "He and I are just Volvox's bodyguards, we don't really do anything." Dommiel replied, Giovi nodded, "What about you two?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "He and I are just his advisors, we can't do much until after the war is over." the Count of Saint Germain replied, Tom nodded, "So, you guys just stand around." Rainbow Dash said, "Pretty much." Tom replied, "You all should leave, the people to your rights are getting angry." Volvox said, they look and see the people from Vinci getting impatient, "Let them go, and leave so you don't get caught up in the war." Volvox said, they do and stop using telekinesis and the war continues, the humans begin fighting one another once again. The Mane Six and Spike were in the throne room with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, "Well, as you all saw, there is a new country, and they are at war, and things look ugly already." Princess Celestia said, "At this rate, the war will not stop at anytime, and they are going to keep fighting." Princess Luna said, "So, why exactly did you two call us here?" Rainbow Dash asked, "If we can, we need to find a way to get both sides to live together peacefully before one side completely slaughters the other, and as you all saw, this isn't just one or two people having problems, but an entire country, this may be the biggest friendship problem we have ever faced." Princess Celestia replied, the seven were uneasy, "This is going to be a hard one, all of us might have to get involved, your jobs is to go there and try to understand both sides of the country, and have them come to terms with one another, surely, you all can do that." Princess Luna said, "Yes, Princess Luna, we can." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Good, you all start tomorrow, and be careful, all of you." Princess Celestia said, and they leave and head home while Princess Luna entered the dream realm and destroyed the nightmares the ponies had that night. The next day comes and the Mane Six and Spike head over again with the hot air balloon, the humans were fighting again and they were loud, Flurry Heart was awakened and crying from the noise, they begin to arrive and the humans from Vinci fire at them, which made them exclaim while ducking while Pinkie Pie screamed, "Begone! Or we will fire at you!" a male human from Vinci said, the six mares and Spike complain, "You all should leave, before that side loses their temper and attacks you guys." a female human from Sapien said, "But we're here to understand your ways." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Our culture and way of living is none of your business." a female human from Vinci said, "Now is not the time, wait until the war is over." a male human from Sapien said, "But one side will be completely gone." Applejack replied, "That's the point, then you can come and learn our ways." the male human from Sapien said, "No, no, no, we wish to learn about both sides." Rarity said, "We don't have time for outside diversions." a male human from Vinci said, "Please leave, we do not wish to cause an even bigger war by killing a foreigner by mistake." a female human from Sapien said, the six mares and Spike were silent for a minute, and they leave while the war continues when the hot air balloon was in the air. Twilight Sparkle and her friends were meeting in the Castle of Friendship and were discussing what to do, "This ain't good, at this rate, they'll destroy one another." Applejack said, "Yeah, and wars are not fun." Pinkie Pie replied, "I can't say I like their uniforms, especially the black ones, they are all the same, it is so dull and boring." Rarity said, "I really hope the animals there are alright." Fluttershy said, "That war looks awesome, I want in." Rainbow Dash said, the others look at her, "What?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Look, we have to stop the war before one side is completely gone, we need to teach them friendship and stop them from destroying one another." Twilight Sparkle said, "So, what do we do?" Spike asked, "We should watch them for a bit now and try to learn their ways through observation, and approach them when and if things calm down a bit." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Ooh, maybe a party will calm them down." Pinkie Pie said, "Ah wouldn't bet on that, they look unfriendly right now." Applejack replied, "Well, let's watch them for now, and try to learn about them by watching from afar." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all leave to go watch them. Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream get as close as they could without being attacked by the humans and watch them, they were still fighting, which made them uncomfortable, "What do we do?" Sweetie Belle asked, "I wanna join, that looks fun." Smolder replied, the others gasp and look at her, "What? Dragons like fighting." Smolder said, they look and the humans keep fighting, they see dead humans on the ground, "Worst country ever." Silverstream said, "Doesn't your kind have two different types?" Gallus asked, "Yes, but we live together in peace, not fighting each other in a war." Silverstream replied, "At this rate, it looks like those guys in the black clothes are going to win." Scootaloo said, they look and see Sapien was better armed and armored than Vinci, "I hope the other guys win, their area looks more fun to learn and explore." Ocellus said, "Me too, I sure hope they have a lot to share." Sandbar replied, "Yona wanna explore both sides." Yona said, "Yeah, Ah wanna learn bout them, too." Apple Bloom replied, and they see the humans continue fighting, "Wow, maybe when they're done, they'll look just like Griffonstone." Gallus said, "I hope not." Sandbar replied, and they see the humans continue fighting, "We should go back so we don't get caught up in their mess." Apple Bloom said, the others agree and they leave while the humans continue fighting. Everycreature in the world watch the new country as the humans fight one another, the humans from Vinci let out battle cries while the humans from Sapien remained silent, the two were fighting and had different tactics, the humans from Vinci had their leaders lead from the front and fought fairly, while the humans from Sapien had their leaders lead from the center, and used whatever dirty tactic they can come up with. The creatures of the world continue to watch and some of them were enjoying seeing the war, the dragons, griffons, and yaks were cheering them on, night time comes and it was time to rest, and everycreature went to sleep. The creatures of the world try to sleep, but loud explosions and gunshots were heard, which woke up the creatures, and made the babies cry, they look and see some parts of Volvox's country were on fire, "EXCUSE US!!" Twilight Sparkle yelled with her Royal Canterlot Voice, the humans ignore her and keep fighting, "HEY!!" Pinkie Pie yelled through a megaphone that was loud enough to move the mountains, the humans continue to fight one another and the humans from Sapien begin throwing explosives, which were loud and made the creatures cover their ears', Gilda flies over and grabs two of the humans off of the country, the two men scream, "Hey!" a male from Vinci said, "We're trying to sleep!" Gilda said angrily, "The war will keep going until it's over." a male from Sapien said, "But it's in the middle of the night!" Twilight Sparkle replied, "Fighting at night time is common for us." a female from Vinci said, "Well, stop, we're trying to sleep!" Twilight Sparkle replied, the humans from Vinci grumble while the humans from Sapien put their weapons down, "Thank you." Twilight Sparkle said, and they leave, the humans from Sapien watch the humans at Vinci and see them glaring at them, the humans wait until next morning to come to continue their war. The next day comes and the humans began fighting one another again as soon as the sun rose, they look and see Volvox was on top of his building and asleep, the fighting noises stop and Volvox opens all six of his eyes, he sees Princess Luna holding the people of Sapien with her telekinesis, while Princess Cadence held the people of Vinci with her telekinesis, and Princess Celestia flew to him, "I am going to ask you to order a ceasefire between the two groups of your country." Princess Celestia said, "How come?" Volvox asked, "I do not appreciate being awakened at night to the sounds of warfare, and more importantly, your country's people are destroying themselves." Princess Celestia replied, "Well, that's easier said than done, my citizens and bosses up in the sky won't like this." Volvox said, "Give it time, maybe if things go right, your people can live together in peace instead of destroying one another." Princess Celestia replied, the humans from Vinci boo while the humans from Sapien shake their heads, "I only ask for a few days, I wish for the ceasefire to be at least a week long at longest." Princess Celestia said, the humans calm down and agree, "Very well, since my citizens are fine with it." Volvox said, "Thank you, I promise you won't regret this." Princess Celestia replied with a smile, and she and the other two princesses fly away. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna called the Mane Six and Spike to Canterlot and were ready to address them, "The ceasefire is in effect now, you six are to learn about them and try to come up with a way for them to live together peacefully." Princess Celestia said, "We have all of the guards standing by, but you all should be able to enter the country safely." Princess Luna said, "Thank you, we won't let you two down." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Go on, then, there's no time to waste." Princess Celestia said, and the six mares and Spike head to Volvox's country. The Mane Six and Spike go to Volvox's country with the hot air balloon and the humans aim their long-ranged weapons at them, "Weapons down, everybody, we'll start an even bigger war if we fire at them." Volvox said, the humans put their weapons down while the humans from Vinci grumbled. The six mares and Spike come down and they walk forward, "Okay, everybody we're here to learn about your ways, and understand your ways of thinking, so I would like for you to talk about your ways of living when we visit you guys." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans from Vinci let out annoyed groans and turned away from them, so did the humans from Sapien, "Hey, we come to say hi, and this is how you all treat us? Worst welcoming party ever." Pinkie Pie said, "Come on now, don't be like that, we need y'all to cooperate and have y'all live together peacefully." Applejack said, "Like I'd ever live with those no good Sapien savages." a boy from Vinci said, "Says the group that wastes valuable resources." a boy from Sapien replied, "Enough, stop it." Twilight Sparkle said as she held the two with her telekinesis, the two stand down, "Now, we're going to learn your ways, and don't try anything funny." Twilight Sparkle said as she put the two boys down, and the six mares and Spike walk forward. The ponies and Spike walk forward and decided to split up, "Okay, Spike, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash, you all come with me, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie, I leave the other side to you three, let's do this." Twilight Sparkle said, and she, Spike, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash go to Sapien while Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie go to Vinci. The ponies and Spike go see the humans, the humans from Sapien aim guns at them while the humans from Vinci glare at them, "Hey, what's with you guys getting all defensive all of a sudden?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "You are still an intruder." a male human from Sapien replied, making Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack uncomfortable, "Come on, guys, we mean you all no harm." Rainbow Dash said, "You still cannot be trusted." a female human from Sapien replied, "Seriously, y'all, lighten up." Applejack said, "We cannot." a second male human from Sapien replied, "What do we do?" Spike asked, "We have no choice, let's just go forward." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they do. Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity walk to the humans from Vinci, they glare at them, "Oh, come on, turn those frowns upside-down." Pinkie Pie said, the humans from Vinci get even angrier, "Why, darlings, I must say, what a diverse fashion sense you all have." Rarity said, the humans from Vinci did not respond, "Um, can I see the animals?" Fluttershy asked, "There are no animals in this country." a female human from Vinci replied, "Oh." Fluttershy said, "Well, I wanna learn how to make your ways." Pinkie Pie said, "Oh, fine, but leave after we're done." a mlae human from Vinci replied, and the three walk forward. Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack walk to Sapien and look around, they see all of the weapons and fortresses everywhere, "Okay, everybody, let's get started, tell me about your culture and your ways." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans remained silent, "Guys, we won't get anywhere if you stay silent." Twilight Sparkle said, "We still can't trust you." a female human from Sapien replied, "Yes, I... I understand why, but you have to." Twilight Sparkle said, "Why?" a male human from Sapien asked, "So we can understand one another and be friends." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Sounds unappealing." a second female human from Sapien said, "Give it a try, y'all, maybe y'all will have different thoughts later." Applejack replied, they thought about it, "Very well." a second male human from Sapien said, and put their guns down, "Thanks, I promise you guys won't be... huh?" Rainbow Dash asked, she looks and sees the humans from Sapien were holding knife handles and were ready to unsheathe them and attack them if they tried anything, "Oh, come on, we mean you guys no harm." Rainbow Dash said, "Can never be too sure." a third male human from Sapien replied, "*sigh* Look, let's just get this over with, I'd like to know about your ways of living." Twilight Sparkle said, "We just do what we must in order to survive, we use everything we can, nothing goes to waste." the first male human from Sapien replied, "Nothin' goes to waste?" Applejack asked, the humans from Sapien shake their heads, "What do you all do?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Eat, drink, make weapons, study medicine, and fortify defenses." the first human from Sapien replied, "I noticed you all are calm and speak in monotone, is there a reason for that?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We value discipline and logic, emotions have no place in our culture." the first female human from Sapien replied, "What?" Rainbow Dash asked with shock, "Why, y'all?" Applejack asked, "Emotions cloud judgement and lead to poor decisions." the second female human from Sapien replied, "Don't you guys have any art or music?" Spike asked, "We only use art to record history, we don't have music." a third male human from Sapien replied, "Why not?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We have more important things on our minds." the second male human from Sapien replied, "Well, the war's not going on right now, so why don't you all go on and try it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Those materials can be used for more practical things." the first female human from Sapien replied, "But don't you guys get bored on working on surviving all the time?" Rainbow Dash asked, "We cannot feel boredom." the second female human from Sapien replied, shocking the ponies and Spike, "What do you guys do for cooking?" Spike asked, "Filtered water cooked in a pot and over a fire is enough for us." the first female human from Sapien replied, "What do y'all cook?" Applejack asked, "Meat and vegetables." the second male human from Sapien replied, "What about making things like cake and pastries?" Spike asked, "Unhealthy and waste of time." the first male human from Sapien replied, "I'm in a military-like group called the Wonderbolts, we do aerial shows." Rainbow Dash said, "Aerial shows are a waste of time." the first female human from Sapien replied, "No, they're not." Rainbow Dash said, "Say, do y'all have any books?" Applejack asked, "History and science books." the second female human from Sapien replied, leaving the four speechless, "Well, I guess that's everything we'll get to know here." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go back. Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity go to Vinci, the humans glare at them, "Come on now, everybody, we just wish to have a peaceful relationship." Fluttershy said, "With you, a trespasser?" a male human from Vinci asked, "No, no, no, we just wish to understand your ways and know why you all behave the way you do." Rarity replied, "Why?" a female human from Vinci asked, "So we can become friends through common interests." Rarity replied, the humans from Vinci murmur, "Ooh, I know, what do you all do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, the humans from Vinci become happy and excited, "We like dodge ball, fun to play." a male child from Vinci replied, "Ooh, I love dodge ball, let's play." Pinkie Pie said, "Pinkie, darling, not the time." Rarity replied, "We also have the best bakeries you can find." a second male human from Vinci said, "I wanna see!" Pinkie Pie said while hopping up and down, "Pinkie, focus." Rarity said, "So, um, do you all plan to bring animals here?" Fluttershy asked, "Why, yes, of course, we are planning to have pet shows and zoomorphic architecture if we win the war." a female human from Vinci replied, "Oh, what do you have as fashion?" Rarity asked, "We're working on that, we're planning to have fashion shows after the war." a second female human from Vinci replied, "Ooh." Rarity said as she clapped her front hoofs together, the humans from Vinci notice her excitement, "Please let me come, I'm always open to new fashion ideas." Rarity said, the humans from Vinci grow to like her, "Tell us, darlings, what does your culture value?" Rarity asked, "We value art, and spreading beauty across the country." a second male human from Vinci replied, "My, I must say, that wall that used to be up was beautiful." Rarity said, "Thank you, we all made that together." a third female human from Vinci replied, "What else do you all value?" Fluttershy asked, "Emotions, it adds so much more beauty to the world." a third male human from Vinci replied, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity smiled, "Do you all have therapy sessions?" Fluttershy asked, "Oh yes, we talk about our feelings to one another, it's okay to be open to us, go on, tell us how you feel." the first male human from Vinci replied, "That's fine, darling, we're okay right now." Rarity said, the humans from Vinci smile, "What else do you all do?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Well, we haven't developed yet, but we plan to add new forms of entertainment." a female child from Vinci replied, the three smile, "Well, that's all, thank you all for your support." Fluttershy said, and the three walk away while the humans from Vinci wave bye at them. The ponies and Spike get on the hot air balloon and the humans from Vinci wave bye at them while the humans from Sapien watched them, "How did you all get along?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Oh, it was great, darlings, I tell you, those humans on that side are very friendly and welcoming." Rarity replied, "Yes, they're all about having fun and being entertaining." Fluttershy said, "They're going to be like us after sometime, all of the baking, fashion shows, and maybe plays." Pinkie Pie replied excitedly while jumping up and down, "Wow, sounds like you all had a good time." Spike said, "What was your side like?" Fluttershy asked, "Boring, they all speak in monotone." Rainbow Dash replied, "Yeah, and they don't value emotions, it's almost like they're robots." Applejack said, "What do they do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "They don't have fun." Rainbow Dash replied, "What?" Pinkie Pie asked, "It's true, they call making those things we have as entertainment a waste of time and resources." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Oh, it is not, it adds beauty to the world." Rarity said, "Come on, everybody, let's just go home and see what we can do to make them stop fighting." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they all head home and sleep for the night. The next day comes and the humans were fighting again already, shocking the ponies and Volvox pulls them back with his telekinesis, "Not yet, everybody, give it a week before you all start fighting again." Volvox said, "But we wanna fight now!" a male child from Vinci replied, "Patience, young one, it'll get you to a lot of places if you have it." Volvox said, the humans from Vinci growl, "Volvox, they want to fight now, you know that Vinci acts purely on emotions." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Yes, I know, I do wish they'd calm down sometimes." Volvox replied, "One reason why Sapien values logic." Tom said, "Even then, someone who is always calm and acts logically cannot see someone's true colors unless it is blatantly shown." Dommiel replied, they watch and see Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream watching them from afar, "Who are they?" Volvox asked, the others shrug, they see Twilight Sparkle flying over, "You six head on to school, I'll handle this." Twilight Sparkle said, and she lands in the country, "Okay, everybody, I need two of you to get together and discuss your differences and come to an understanding." Twilight Sparkle, the humans from Vinci groan and turn away, "Don't be like that, it'll only make things worse." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans from Vinci did not turn back, "Come on, guys, what I'm trying to do is make things better." Twilight Sparkle said, "You'll make things worse at this rate." a female human from Sapien replied, "How?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Just look at Vinci." a male human from Sapien replied, she looks and sees they were still angry and did not want to speak, "I'll go if you guys do this, I promise." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans from Vinci groan, "Fine." a male human from Vinci replied, and he goes to the center of the land while a male human from Sapien goes to him. The two humans see one another while the man from Vinci glares at him, "What do you want?" the male human from Vinci asked, "We're doing what they want." the male human from Sapien replied, the man from Vinci groans with annoyance, "Come on, you two, talk about your culture and try to come to a middle ground." Twilight Sparkle said, "Fine, we value art since it makes the world beautiful." the male human from Vinci said, "It is a waste of material and resources." the male human from Sapien replied, "What about you guys?! Building those forts there, ugh, it is so ugly!" the male human from Vinci said, "It is designed to stand strong and defend the land, it's appearance is a trivial matter." the male human from Sapien replied, "How about your outfits? What do you say about them?" the male human from Vinci asked, "Designed to protect us in battle and damage the enemies in close combat." the male human from Sapien replied, "Isn't it heavy and uncomfortable?" the male human from Vinci asked, "We are trained since birth to get accustomed to the outfit's weight, the outfit itself is not uncomfortable to wear." the male human from Sapien replied, "But it looks hideous." the male human from Vinci said, "Again, it's appearance is a trivial matter." the male human from Sapien replied, "No, it's not! Looking good makes things easier on the eyes." the male human from Vinci said, "What is beautiful and what is ugly is different for each individual." the male human from Sapien replied, the man from Vinci growls, "Your side has flaws as well, you all act on emotions and never think things through." the male human from Sapien said, "Emotions is what adds character to the world." the male human from Vinci replied, "Being emotional means being easy to manipulate and going from doing one thing to another." the male human from Sapien said, "Things get boring after a while." the male human from Vinci replied, "Haven't you ever heard of diligence?" the male human from Sapien asked, "What is that?" the male human from Vinci asked, "When you start something, work on it until it's finished." the male human from Sapien replied, "That is why we have stations and take turns." the male human from Vinci said, "Even though the other person may ruin your original vision?" the male human from Sapien asked, "We have blueprints for them to look at." the male human from Vinci replied, "What if they don't follow it?" the male human from Sapien asked, the man from Vinci becomes speechless, "See, there you go, I don't know why you still take pride in the creation if you didn't make it all by yourself." the male human from Sapien said, "Because they originally came up with it!" the male human from Vinci replied while raising his voice a little, "What about the others who helped make it?" the male human from Sapien asked, "They are assistants!" the male human from Vinci replied, the man from Sapien shakes his head, "What about your side?! Where is your country pride?!" the male human from Vinci asked, "Pride is a delusion that exists nowhere but inside of your head." the male human from Sapien replied, Twilight Sparkle reels back in shock at what he just said, "Then how do you all get things done?!" the male human from Vinci asked, "We just do it." the male human from Sapien replied, "That's it?! No enjoyment?!" the male human from Vinci asked, "There are more important things to get done than feeling emotions about it." the male human from Sapien replied, "Like what?" the male human from Vinci asked, "Our country's defenses and being able to keep it protected." the male human from Sapien replied, "But making those is so boring!" the male human from Vinci said, "Boring or not, it has to be done." the male human from Sapien replied, the man from Vinci growls, "Okay, um, let's end the dispute here since you two can't come to an equal ground." Twilight Sparkle said nervously, "No, in the name of honor, I stand my ground and am ready to fight." the male human from Vinci replied, "Why do you people care so much about honor for?" the male human from Sapien asked, "Because it makes us respected and gives us glory, we'd take that over the shame of being a coward." the male human from Vinci replied, "Sometimes, it is better than run away and live another day." the male human from Sapien said, "Never!" the male human from Vinci replied, and he begins to attack the man from Sapien. The two countries run to them and they all begin fighting again, "No! Stop!" Twilight Sparkle said as she and Volvox use telekinesis to separate them, "Not yet, everyone, not until the ceasefire's over." Volvox said, "But Emperor Volvox, we want to fight now!" a second male human from Vinci said, "You will at this rate, just be a bit patient." Volvox replied, the humans from Vinci complain to Volvox while the humans from Sapien remain silent and just watch them, "Um, excuse me, guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, they all look at her, "Can you all calm down for a minute and try to think things through?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "But thinking about things is so boring." a female human from Vinci replied, "No, it isn't, thinking can be fun." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans from Vinci stop for a minute, "As always, you people from Vinci are easily swayed and can be manipulated, your emotional vulnerabilities may prove fatal one day." a male human from Sapien said, the humans from Vinci growl, "Don't get mad at us, we're not the ones swayed by words and emotions." a female human from Sapien said, the humans from Vinci get angrier, "How are you all able to think straight?" a female human from Vinci asked, "Because we already have goals and know what to do, one shouldn't just stop because of something one says." a second male human from Sapien replied, "But how do you all stay focused on it?" the female human from Vinci asked, "Because we already have a goal and know it has to be done so it will be beneficial in the long run." the second male human from Sapien replied, the humans from Vinci growl, "How do you all focus on that one thing without losing interest?!" a second female human from Vinci asked, "We work together on it at the same time." the second male human from Sapien replied, "How do you all finish without taking breaks?!" the first male human from Vinci asked, "We all work on it together instead of taking turns." the first male human from Sapien replied, the humans from Vinci look at them with disbelief, "Why don't you all work together?" the first female human from Sapien asked, "So we can be proud of each individual addition we make to everything we make." the first male human from Vinci replied, "Even if it takes longer to finish?" the second male human from Sapien asked, "Being proud is each individual addition is more important, you can't rush art." the second male human from Vinci replied, "Alright, guys, that's enough, clearly, you all can't reach an agreement." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans from Vinci glare at her, "Uh... um... is it something I said?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "You should leave before they get mad and lose their tempers." the first female human from Sapien replied, "Oh, um, alright, I'm going." Twilight Sparkle said nervously and she flies back to Equestria. Twilight Sparkle arrives back at her castle and sits in her throne, "Ugh, there has to be some way for them to get along." Twilight Sparkle said, "They couldn't come to an agreement?" Spike asked, "No, they disagree with everything, their cultures are so different from one another." Twilight Sparkle said, "What do you plan to do this next?" Spike asked, "I don't know, Spike." Twilight Sparkle replied, Spike just looks at her, "Just... give me time to rest, Spike, I need to think of a new plan." Twilight Sparkle said, and she sits and thinks while Spike leaves. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna look at the divided country and see it was mostly quiet for now, "You think Twilight will be able to handle this?" Princess Luna asked, "I hope so, I still fear they will have another war." Princess Celestia replied, "Me too, I think we may have to help them." Princess Luna said, "We will if it gets out of hoof." Princess Celestia replied, and the two go back to doing their royal duties. Everybody looks at the country and see Sapien and Vinci were quiet but it was an uneasy quietness, "Y'all think we should go there?" Apple Bloom asked, "No, let's wait for things to cool down a bit." Sandbar replied, "Yeah, going now would probably be a bad idea." Smolder said, "Oh, I can't wait, looks so fun to go to." Silverstream said, "Come on, let's go home, it's almost dark." Scootaloo said, and they all go home and sleep. The next day comes and Twilight Sparkle goes back to the country with Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, and Starlight Glimmer, the humans from Sapien aim their guns at them while the humans from Vinci glare at them when they step out of the hot air balloon, "Come on, y'all, relax." Applejack said, "We still cannot rule out the possibility of betrayal." a male human from Sapien replied, "Seriously? Calm down, guys, we're not here to cause trouble." Starlight Glimmer said, "You already are." a male human from Vinci replied, "Okay, everyone, let's try something different today, let's try switching roles." Twilight Sparkle said, "What?" a second human from Sapien asked, "What we're saying is you all should switch places, and do what the other side does, so you all can try to understand one another." Starlight Glimmer replied, the humans from Vinci look at Sapien with disgust while the humans from Sapien just look forward and their facial expressions could not be seen due to their masks, "Come on, everyone, let's give it a try, we'll explain what things are and how things work if you don't know about it." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans from Vinci roll their eyes' and the two sides go to the other side while the ponies and Spike go to them. The humans from Sapien go to Vinci and they see Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity up ahead, they just look around, "What is this?" a male human from Sapien asked, "Don't you all like the decorations?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Why?" a female human from Sapien asked, "It makes the things look more attractive." Rarity replied, "More like wasting resources." a second male human from Sapien said, "No, it isn't, animals like decorations, too." Fluttershy said, "Since when?" a third male human from Sapien asked, "Um, well, my animals like decorations." Fluttershy replied, "Are your animals domesticated?" a second female human from Sapien asked, "Some of them." Fluttershy replied, "It seems this world's animals may be different from our world, the animals don't care about decorations, they care about surviving." a fourth male human from Sapien said, "Don't they admire the decorations you all make?" Fluttershy asked, "They don't care about decorations." the first male human from Sapien replied, "Wait, they don't?" Fluttershy asked, "No, they only care surviving in the wilderness." the first female human from Sapien replied, they look around and see cake, "What's with the cake?" the second female human from Sapien asked, "To welcome you all here." Pinkie Pie replied, "Sorry, but due to our trainings, we are on a strict diet." the second female human from Sapien said, "What do you all eat?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Fruits, vegetables, bread, meat, and drink water." the third male human from Sapien replied, "But I've brought a lot of party food." Pinkie Pie said, "Sorry, but we can't eat them." the second male human from Sapien replied, Pinkie Pie tears up a little, "What is with those outfits back there?" a fifth male human from Sapien asked, "Haven't you heard of fashion?" Rarity asked, "We have, but it has no place in our culture." the third female human from Sapien replied, "And just why not?" Rarity asked, "Such clothes will get in the way of battle, and serve no function." the first female human from Sapien replied, "It's not supposed to, it's supposed to show off your taste in art and your beauty." Rarity said, "You forgot social status." the second male human from Sapien replied, "Oh, yeah, that too." Rarity said, "Well, come on, go ahead and try some of the things." Fluttershy said, and they do. The humans from Sapien look at the items in Vinci and examine them, "They carve decorations into their items? What a waste of time and degradation of quality." the first male human from Sapien said, "No, it is not, it makes the things easier on the eyes to look at." Rarity replied, "Our eyes are not affected." the second male human from Sapien said, and they look around and see the ornaments on the buildings, "There they go wasting resources again." the first female human from Sapien said, "No, it's not, if the place is ugly, no one will want to go in." Pinkie Pie replied, "Actually, we do, for shelter and hiding from the enemy." the third male human from Sapien said, the three mares become speechless, "Well, come now, we'll show you how some of these things work." Rarity said, and they watch. The humans from Vinci look at Sapien and groan with disgust, "What's the matter?" Spike asked, "They only make their homes in one shape and use one color, it is hideous." a male human from Vinci replied, "I'll admit, all of this black and razor wires is kind of tiring to look at." Twilight Sparkle said, "I can't believe they live like this, it is so tedious." a female human from Vinci said, "Well, you do need some kind of defense against invaders." Rainbow Dash replied, "No way, everybody is welcome to Vinci, regardless of who they are." a second male human from Vinci said, "That's dangerous, y'all." Applejack replied, "Ooh, what is that accent of yours?" a female child from Vinci asked, "Um, everyone in mah family has this accent." Applejack replied, "Please, teach it to us one day." a male child from Vinci said, "Focus, everyone, try their things and try to understand them, come now." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go forward. The humans from Vinci look at the things and see the books, "Ugh, those covers are so ugly." a third male human from Vinci said, "I know, and look at that plain font, how can they live with such dullness?" a second female human from Vinci asked, "It's not the cover you all should look at, it's the inside." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the humans do reluctantly, "Wha? What is this?!" a fourth male human from Vinci asked, they all look and see the pages were plain white with black letters on them, "It is so ugly, I'm bored already." a third female human from Vinci said, "No, don't give up like that, come on, try reading." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she does, the woman throws the book away, "No, don't do that, it's rude to destroy other people's stuff." Twilight Sparkle said, "I just didn't like it, I have no intention of destroying it." the third female human from Vinci replied, "Don't you all like the books?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No! These are all on history, math, and science, it so boring." the first male human from Vinci replied, "Well, what do you all want to read?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Fictional stories." the second male human from Vinci replied, the others nod, "Well, I can give you guys some of my Daring Do books if you want that." Rainbow Dash said, the humans from Vinci murmur with interest, "What is that food there?" a third male human from Vinci asked, they look and see mostly vegetables and oatmeal, "What a boring diet, our diets are full of delicious tastes." the first female human from Vinci said, "I agree with a diet being boring and having almost taste, but I also have to stay in shape for my training." Rainbow Dash replied, "Ugh, we hate training, it's boring and it hurts." a second male child from Vinci said, "But it's necessary sometimes, I had to train in order to fly at first, Spike here had to train, too." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I had a lot of training as a Wonderbolt." Rainbow Dash said, "And Ah had to build up mah strength to work on the farm." Applejack said, the humans from Vinci look at them with disbelief, "Well, come on, try learning their ways to understand them so you all don't have to fight anymore." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans from Vinci grumble and roll their eyes' but they decide to give it a try. The humans try the things of the other countries and have trouble with the mares and Spike trying their best to explain them, the humans from Sapien remain calm and silent while trying to figure out how to work some things while the humans from Vinci complain and let out angry grunts. Volvox just stands on his stronghold and watches, he sighs while he looks on with boredom, "What do you four think of this?" Volvox asked, "I'm getting kind of bored." Dommiel replied, "Yeah, me too." Tom said, "I'm bored as well." the Count of Saint Germain said, Giovi nods, "Well, let's just keep watching." Volvox said, and they do. A few hours pass and the humans were getting ready for bed, "Typical Vinci, always caring more about the art and comfort, wasteful as always." a male human from Sapien said as he looked at a bed with wooden carvings and a big mattress on it, "It is not, I'm quite jealous of this bed." Rarity replied, "Still a waste, let's just sleep." a female human from Sapien said, and they do. The humans from Vinci see Sapien had simple beds, "What is this? It's stone and a moss blanket." a male human from Vinci said, "Well, maybe they didn't have time to make proper beds." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Proper? It is ugly and looks uncomfortable, can't believe we have to sleep on such garbage bed." a female human from Vinci said, the other humans from Vinci grumble and lay down on them and sleep. The next day comes and Princess Ember, Grampa Gruff, King Thorax, Prince Rutherford, and General Seaspray go to the country, they brought gifts with them, "Here you guys go, we brought two of each, think of them as welcoming gifts." King Thorax said, the humans look and see Princess Ember brought gems, Grampa Gruff brought scones, King Thorax brought lanterns, Prince Rutherford brought helmets, and General Seaspray brought seashells, "Her Highness would have came, but she is too busy at the moment." General Seaspray said, "Come on now, one for each." Princess Ember said, and they take them, the humans from Vinci thank them while the humans from Sapien remain silent, they all go back to their respective sides to use the gifts accordingly. The humans go back to their respective sides and look on, "WHAT IT THIS?!" a male human from Vinci asked, they see their homes were fortified and some of their decorations were broken down to be used to make armor while Sapien had multiple colors and their weapons and armor had decorations carved and painted on them, "What did you all do to our home?!" a second male human from Vinci asked, "We're asking you guys the same thing." a male human from Sapien replied, "We made your country more colorful, it is so ugly with one color." a female human from Vinci said, "You should've made it camouflaged instead." a second male human from Sapien replied, "What are these hideous looking writings in our books." a second female human from Vinci asked, "They are information on math and science." a female human from Sapien replied, "You destroyed our country's beauty!" a third male human from Vinci said angrily, "You made our country more sustainable to invasion and wasted valuable resources." a third male human from Sapien replied calmly, the humans from Vinci growl. The humans in the two countries run to one another and begin fighting again, "NO!! STOP!!" Twilight Sparkle said as she shot a signal into the air with her horn, the humans continue fighting, "Should we stop them?" Dommiel asked, "No, I don't think there's any stopping them this time." Volvox replied, the humans continue to fight while the ponies and Spike try to break them up to no avail. The humans continue to fight until a yellow aura appears around them and separates them, "Enough!" Princess Celestia said as she flies down to them, "All you guys have done is fight and argue, you will destroy yourselves if you continue, I understand both sides want what is best for the country, but what you all should do is find a balance that both sides is satisfied with, not try to destroy one another." Princess Celestia said as she walked between the two sides, the humans look at her, the humans from Vinci have widened eyes' while the humans from Sapien just listen, "Now, I'm sure you all saw how the other side was, now, it's time to find an equilibrium and something both sides can agree on." Princess Celestia said, the humans from Vinci look at Volvox, who was sleeping and snoring, "Emperor Volvox." a male human from Vinci said, Volvox continues to sleeps, "Excuse me, Emperor Volvox." Princess Celestia said as she flies up to him, he continues to sleep, "EMPEROR VOLVOX!!" Princess Celestia said with her Royal Canterlot Voice, the humans back away while Volvox opens his eyes slowly, "Yeah?" Volvox asked, "Is it okay if I try to find something both countries can agree on?" Princess Celestia asked, "Go ahead, I'll let you know if my superiors complain." Volvox replied, "Thank you, I promise to get some good results." Princess Celestia said, and she flies back down. Princess Celestia walks between the two sides, "Okay, get the gifts." Princess Celestia said, and they do, "Take turns while answering, and don't talk over others, now, what did you all want to do with the gems?" Princess Celestia asked, "Make new weapons with them." a male human from Sapien replied, "Okay, what about you people?" Princess Celestia asked, "Carve them into our statues." a male human from Vinci replied, "Okay, what were you going to do with the scones?" Princess Celestia asked, "Well, whether we eat it or not depends on if it's healthy." a female human from Sapien replied, "We will consume it if it's delicious." a second male human from Vinci said, "Alright, now the lanterns, what were you all going to do with them?" Princess Celestia asked, "Light them up at night so we can see any intruders in the dark." a second male human from Sapien replied, "Set up lanterns to create a beautiful night scene for painting." a female human from Vinci said, "Alright, both have valid points, what were you all going to do with the helmets?" Princess Celestia asked, "Use it as armor." a third male human from Sapien replied, "Use it as part of a costume." a second female human from Vinci said, "Okay, and lastly, the seashells." Princess Celestia said, "Well, we could put them in cans and tie them up on rope to act as an alarm system." a fourth male human from Sapien replied, "It will be perfect to use as display for our sea and beach landscape paintings." a third female human from Vinci said, "There, you all heard what one another wants, now, work together and make a result that both sides can be happy with." Princess Celestia said, and they do. The humans begin to gather together and use their gifts together, they use the gems first, the humans from Sapien make daggers with the gems while the humans from Vinci try make carvings on statues to put the gems in, the humans from Sapien try putting the gems in the hands of the statues, along with sticking out of the statues to act as traps, the humans from both sides become satisfied. The humans try the scones next, everybody sees the humans from Sapien were either bald or had short hair or shaved heads, they examine the scones and see it was healthy, they nod and eat them, the humans from Vinci also eat the scones and liked the taste. The humans try to use the lanterns next, the humans from Sapien set them up high so they can light up the country at dark, the humans from Vinci turn them on and were unsatisfied with how Vinci looked, so they all rearrange them and try again, they all become satisfied when the lanterns were on the buildings and looked attractive when hanging around the doors. The humans use the yak helmets next and the humans from Sapien test them with their weapons, the helmet withstands all of it, the humans from Vinci wear them and try them on with other outfits and liked it. The humans try the seashells last, the humans from Sapien put them in cans and shake them around, they tie them with ropes and trip them, the cans go down and shake as an alarm, the humans from Vinci put them on their pictures and around the country for visuals, the humans from Sapien see they could also be used as caltrops, they become satisfied and continue working. Princess Celestia smiles as she watches the humans and walks to them, "Good, you all are already reaching agreements, now you all must reach agreements with everything else." Princess Celestia said, and they do. The humans begin redesigning their country while Volvox, Dommiel, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, and Tom watch, they see the country get a makeover, "Well, it looks like the war's over." Tom said, "Not exactly, I still have to see what my superiors will say about this." Volvox replied, and the humans continue redesigning, they finish and Sapien was now full of colors and decorations while Vinci was fortified, both sides were satisfied, "Truce?" a male human from Sapien asked, "Truce." a male human from Vinci replied, and they shake hands while the ponies and Spike smile. The ponies and Spike go back to Canterlot and they were satisfied, "Well, that wasn't too bad, a few bumps, but we did it." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yes, they are all now living together happily, I think this country will grow and develop at a wonderful rate." Princess Celestia replied, and they all watch them. The clouds come down and Hermes forms, "I'm in trouble, aren't I?" Volvox asked, "Well, the gods aren't too pleased that the country to prosper wasn't decided through war, but they'll let it slide." Hermes replied, "Alright, I was ready to reset things, too." Volvox said, "Well, things are fixed on our side, we can send you back now." Hermes replied, "Please do." Volvox said, and he goes into the sky, the world's natives say bye to them and the country disappears. Volvox and his country return to their world and the war was over, everybody lived on peacefully and the country prospered, everybody lived together peacefully and had no wars for generations to come.
SakokuHumans lived isolated from the world and were ruled by a quadrupedal, three-headed creature named Volvox, he was a being who was thousands of years old, he befriended a demon named Dommiel during his early years of ruling over the humans, the two watched the humans and they decided that it would be best to enforce laws that would prevent foreigners from entering the country and natives from leaving it so they would be influenced by outside forces. Years passed and the humans in the country developed and there were no creatures around their land and every native who exited the country was killed, the top enforcer of the country was a human named Tom, he was elected through fighting and beating the other humans, he had tan skin, black eyes, and short black hair, "I think we've evolved the country greatly, Volvox." Dommiel said, "I agree, and no outside influences, I think we did great." Volvox replied, "Yes, and I have snipers and assassins standing by in case anyone tries to enter or exit the country." Tom said, "Good, I hope it stays like this." Volvox replied, an earthquake began and everything shook around, "What is going on?" Dommiel asked, Volvox used his magic to see what was happening, "Earthquake, we're shifting, brace for impact." Volvox said, and their country got shifted. Equestria and the other countries shook from a giant earthquake and everycreature exclaimed as the world shook, the earthquake stopped afterwards, "What was that?" Applejack asked, "An earthquake? What caused it?" Starlight Glimmer asked, the others murmured as they wondered what caused the earthquake, "Well, the volcanoes in the Dragon Lands have been a bit active recently." Spike said, "And the seaponies are doing a lot of digging in Seaquestria." Silverstream said, "Just Seaquestria, Silverstream?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Actually, no, seaponies are digging the ocean floor under the other countries, too." Silverstream replied, "Hey, what is that?" Rainbow Dash asked as she looked north from the sky, the others looked and saw a new island in the sea that was to the northwest of Griffonstone, "*gasp* A new country!" Pinkie Pie said, "It must've shifted during the earthquake." Twilight Sparkle replied, they all looked and saw it was a small island with a bridge that led into the country and a moat around it, a gray brick wall with watchtowers was around the country, they all looked and saw humans on top of the wall, they were all wearing an all black one-piece outfit with gray armor all over it, it covered every single body part except their necks and heads, they also wore gray mid-calf length metal boots, "What are those guys?" Spike asked, "I don't know, but they look just like the creatures from Sunset Shimmer's world." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Really?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Yes." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Come on, let's give them a welcome party." Pinkie Pie said, the others agreed and the Mane Six and Spike headed to the new country. The Mane Six and Spike headed to the country with Twilight Sparkle's hot air balloon while the other creatures watched, the humans aimed their bows and guns at the hot air balloon, it landed on the island and the seven began walking to the bridge, but stopped and yelped when an arrow was shot in front of Twilight Sparkle's front right hoof, "This country is off limits to foreigners." a female human said, the seven exclaimed with confusion, "What do you mean off limits?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It is the laws of our country, any foreigner who enters will get the death penalty." a male human replied, "What?! We cannot step hoof into your country?" Rarity asked, "No, you may not." the female human replied, "But we've got a welcome party for you guys." Pinkie Pie said, "We're not attending it." the male human replied, "Can we at least greet you guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, "No." the female human replied, "I want to at least see the animals." Fluttershy said, "We don't have any." the male human replied, "Come on, y'all, it wouldn't hurt to open yerselves to us and make some friends." Applejack said, "We're fine just the way we are, now turn back, or face death." the female human replied, "Oh, come on now, the other countries are watching, too, they might want to enter, too." Twilight Sparkle said, "None of you can, any foreigner who enters our country will be executed." the male human replied, the other creatures exclaim with shock, "Now go, or you seven will be executed on the spot." the female human said, and the Mane Six and Spike went into their hot air balloon and left, "Oh, the nerve, I cannot believe stepping hoof into their land will lead to execution." Rarity said, "Yeah, what are they thinkin'? We've never had a country around Equestria with a law like that." Applejack replied, "Maybe it's to protect themselves or something, we'll just have to show them how welcoming we are." Twilight Sparkle said, "Does that mean no welcome party?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Not yet, Pinkie, we just have to win their trusts and show them we offer our friendship." Twilight Sparkle replied, "So, what do we do?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Let's wait for now and see how things go." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they went back to Equestria. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna looked at the country, "What do you think, sister?" Princess Luna asked, "I can't say I like their laws about foreigners, if they don't drop it, they're going to start a war with the other less friendly countries." Princess Celestia replied, "Shall we interfere?" Princess Luna asked, "Not now, let's watch and see what happens." Princess Celestia replied, and the two walked away. The Wonderbolts practiced flying around and were at an area where they could see what was behind the fortress wall around the new country, their curiosities got the best of them and the humans shot arrows and bullets at them, they yelped and exclaimed as they flew to dodge them, "You all are in restricted airspace, divert course, or you will be shot down." Tom said through a megaphone, the Wonderbolts looked on with shocked expressions but decided to fly away. The hippogriff navy patrolled the seas and they were near the new country, their alarms went off and the hippogriffs were startled, "Attention ships, this area is prohibited, divert course, or we will open fire." a female human said on a loudspeaker, the hippogriffs looked on with disbelief but sailed away. The humans and Tom continued watching the area around the country, Volvox realized that the creatures will continue flying around the skies to go on with their lives, so he used his magic to create a roof on the wall around the country so they do not see what was inside. Silverstream flew to the country and flew low so the humans do not see her, she arrived above the moat and changed into a seapony to enter it. Silverstream swam into the water and looked for an opening to enter the country, but the humans soon heard screaming in the moat and aimed their bows and guns, Silverstream flew out and fell onto the ground while screaming, she had cuts and pieces of broken glass stabbed into her body. Twilight Sparkle teleported to the island with her and Silverstream's friends to get her, "You okay, Silverstream?" Sandbar asked, "Begone, this island is off limits to all foreigners." a male human said, "What is in that water?!" Rarity asked, objects floated up and everybody saw broken glass and sharp and rusty objects, "What is the meaning of this?!" Rarity asked, "They are to keep foreigners out." a female human replied, "What about the fish?" Fluttershy asked, "There are no animals in there." the female human replied, "You hurt our friend." Ocellus said, "She did it to herself." the male human replied, "I just wanted to see what's inside the country." Silverstream said, "Well, the answer's no, there's no opening in our wall for you to look through." the female human replied, "We can't even have a peek?" Sandbar asked, "No." the male human replied, "Now go, or we will kill you all." the female human said, "WHAT?! I'm a princess!" Silverstream said, "Your royal title doesn't mean anything in our country." the female human replied, "What?! I'm a princess, too, and I still can't enter?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "You're still a foreigner, and have to die." the male human replied, "What?! That's ridiculous!" Twilight Sparkle said, "It's the law, now go." the male human replied, and Twilight Sparkle teleported herself and the others back to Equestria. The rulers of the other countries looked at the country and glared since they were already disliking their no foreigners policy, the flying creatures and ships went around the country and tried to avoid them since the humans were aiming bows and guns at anycreature who came near, "That does it, I say we pay them a visit." Princess Ember said, "Wait, Princess Ember, you'll be killed." a male dragon replied, "I'm ready for that, I just like to have a word with them." Princess Ember said, and she flew to them, "Excuse me." Princess Ember said, the humans aimed their long-ranged weapons at her, "Wait, I come in peace." Princess Ember said, "Doesn't matter, you're still on our country borders." a male human replied, Princess Ember groaned and flew back a little, "I just want to talk with your country's ruler." Princess Ember said, a trapdoor on the roof around the country opened and Tom came out, "You're the ruler?" Princess Ember asked, "I'm just the spokesperson, I'll give your message to the ruler." Tom replied, "Your no foreigners policy is affecting my country, we have to take longer and more dangerous routes for trading gems, I ask that you all lighten it up a little bit." Princess Ember said, "We already did." Tom replied, "What?" Princess Ember asked, "The range of our no foreigners policy also applied to areas where the inside of our country could be seen, that was taken away when this roof was added, the law now only applies to our borders." Tom replied, "What about the other countries around you guys before the earthquake shifted your country?" Princess Ember asked, "There were no other countries around us." Tom replied, "Wait. Seriously?" Princess Ember asked, "Yes." Tom replied, "Anyway, can you lighten it a bit so we can fly safe passages to trade our gems?" Princess Ember asked, "How much do you want our policy to be lessened?" Tom asked, "Just around your country and not the island." Princess Ember replied, "Hold on, I'll go ask our country's ruler." Tom replied, and he opened a trapdoor on the fort's roof and went down into the country. Volvox and Dommiel were in the throne room and watching the outside world with a white screen in front of them, Volvox sat on the floor while Dommiel stood to his right, Tom walked in and the two looked at him, "I got a request from a neighboring country." Tom said, "I heard, she wants the island around us to accessible." Volvox replied, "What do you two say?" Tom asked, "Well, I won't like it, but we might have to do what she says." Dommiel replied, "What? You're just going to give in to her just like that?" Tom asked, "Tom, we're already angering the neighboring countries, it's probably for the best, we might have to fight in a war against all of the other countries if we don't." Volvox replied, "Oh, I see what you mean now, yeah, I don't want to fight them all either, we're greatly outnumbered." Tom said, "See, there you go, I'll watch those underwater seahorses for now, I'll see if they'll want to dig for pearls and seashells." Volvox said, "How far will the law be enforced now?" Tom asked, "I think the law should be enforced at where the bridge and moat start." Dommiel replied, "That sounds good, alright, the law about foreigners and natives will be enforced at the bridge and moat, I'll let the natives know." Volvox said, Tom nodded and he left. Princess Ember flew in the air and waited, the trapdoor opened and Tom came out, "We'll lessen the area where our policy takes place, you can fly around the island, but if you come to the bridge or moat, you will be in our country." Tom said, "Alright, hold on, let's give it a try." Princess Ember said, and she flew back to inform the dragons. The dragons tried flying around the island and avoided flying over the moat and bridge, "Alright, that's good enough, thanks." Princess Ember said, and the dragons flew around the country. The dragons flew and did trade with Equestria and gave their gems to the ponies for them to use however they saw fit, Tom and the humans aimed their bows and guns at any dragon who came close to their borders. The creatures continued with their days and the humans saw more seapony ships sailing around, they saw the hipppogriff navy had cannons on them and the humans aimed their weapons at them when those ships came near, "Wait, we're just passing by, we mean no trouble." General Seaspray said, the humans put their weapons down and the hippogriff ships sailed through the ocean with no problem. Tom watched and saw the creatures of the world go on with their days, he saw several creatures look at their country out of curiosity but saw nothing. The humans on the watchtowers looked around and saw the griffons flying around their home, they aimed their bows and guns at them, "You think something like that is going to scare us?" Grampa Gruff asked, Tom fired a rifle and the bullet went past Grampa Gruff's right ear, the griffons screamed and exclaimed since the loudness hurt their ears', "Okay, we'll be going." Grampa Gruff said, and they flew farther away from the country and went to the Crystal Empire to give their scones to them as trade. Volvox and Dommiel heard complaining outside and they exited their fortress, "Alright, settle down, what is it?" Volvox asked, "There's no sun coming in, we can't grow our crops." a male human replied, "It's too dark to see anything." a female human said, "I can't see inside my home." a second male human said, the humans complained more to Volvox, "Alright, alright, hold on." Volvox said, and he made small holes appear for the gardens to grow, "Thank you, Emperor Volvox." a third male human said, "Alright, you're welcome, but remember to hide if the outside people try to peak through." Volvox replied, "I wanna see what's outside." a male human child said, "Now, now, there's no need to, we're fine just the way we are." a female human replied, "Do the people look just like us?" a female human child asked, "See for yourself." Dommiel replied, and he used his shadow magic to create shapes of what the creatures outside looked like, the humans gasped with awe, "Are they quadrupedal?" a second female human child asked, "All but one." Dommiel replied, and he showed her the shadow of a dragon, "Can we see them in person?" a second male human child asked, "You can see them flying by through the holes in the roof." Volvox replied, the children looked and saw the dragons, griffons, and hippogriffs fly by, they gasped in awe, "Is there anything else you all need?" Volvox asked, "Well, it's still a little cold with the sun blocked out." a third male human replied, Volvox used his hellfire magic to heat up the area, "Thank you, Emperor Volvox, you have always did your best to look after us." the third male human said, "Just doing my job, Dommiel and I will be in our fortress if you need us." Volvox replied, and the two walked back and the day went on with nothing else happening. The next day came and the rulers looked at the country, they saw holes in the roof, and whoever tried to look through them had arrows shot at them, "They still won't let anyone near." Shining Armor said, "I know, their refusal to let anyone into their country is weakening Equestria's defenses." Princess Cadence replied, "I still don't know what to do, I've never seen a foreigner-be-executed law before." Shining Armor said, "None of us have, even Princess Celestia is shocked by it." Princess Cadence replied, Flurry Heart cooed and burbled, "Calm down, Flurry Heart, we'll try to work something out." Princess Cadence said, and they watched and they fired arrows at any Pegasus, dragon, griffon, changeling, or hippogriff who tried to look into their country, the creatures watching from their native lands looked with disbelief. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna flew to the island and landed, they walked forward and the humans aimed their guns at them, "Wait, we have important things to say." Princess Celestia said, "What is it?" Tom asked, "Your refusal to allow foreigners into your land is weakening our country's defenses, it is powered by friendship, you all not allowing us to be your friends is making us vulnerable to threats." Princess Celestia replied, "You're joking." a male human said, "We're not." Princess Luna replied, "Can't you just make do with what you currently have?" a female human asked, "We're trying, but we're not comfortable with our country having weaker defenses, we would appreciate it if you all offered us your friendship." Princess Celestia replied, "The law still stands, any foreigner who enters our country will be executed." Tom said, "But we are the supreme rulers of the country to the southwest of here." Princess Luna replied, "That doesn't matter, you're still a foreigner." Tom said, "You're willing to execute a ruler or a figure of authority if they enter your country?" Princess Celestia asked, "Yes." Tom replied, "You do realize that I am the most powerful ruler here, executing me will result in war with the other countries." Princess Celestia said, "Just stay out of our borders, and you'll be fine." Tom said, "That's not what I mean, what I mean is your country will be destroyed, you all don't seem to have any magic of any kind." Princess Celestia said, "We are only the first line of defense." Tom replied, "Well, can we at least be on good terms with you all? For our country's defense reasons?" Princess Celestia asked, "No." Tom replied, "Why not?" Princess Luna asked, "The no foreigners policy also means no relationships with other countries." Tom replied, "Seriously?" Princess Luna asked, Tom nodded, "Can we at least be on good terms with one another?" Princess Celestia asked, "Being neutral is good terms for us." Tom replied, "Neutral? We need your trust in order for our defenses to go back up." Princess Luna said, "Then you're just going to have to adapt and get used to it." Tom replied, "What? You refuse to..." Princess Luna said, "Luna, that's enough, we won't win them over, let's just go back." Princess Celestia said, Princess Luna calmed down and the two flew away. The Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike all stood together and looked at the country, "Ooohhhhh, this is making me so mad!" Pinkie Pie said while gritting her teeth together and pulling on her own mane, "Pinkie, relax, I don't think we're going to be able to get them to open." Twilight Sparkle replied, "But I wanna throw their welcome party." Pinkie Pie said, "What do you think is behind their walls?" Sweetie Belle asked, "We ain't sure, Sweetie Belle, it's anyone's guess." Applejack replied, "There were problems earlier with the dragons delivering things here, we were forced to take new routes until they thankfully made the range of their laws shorter." Smolder said, "I heard about the griffons having problems, too, some of them tried to see what was inside the country and those people there shot at them." Gallus replied, "The hippogriffs had to redirect their sailing courses since they get worried when our warships go by." Silverstream said, "Well, you guys do have cannons on those ships, so it's understandable." Starlight Glimmer replied, "Didn't the Pegasi have problems, too?" Scootaloo asked, "Yeah, the Wonderbolts almost flew over them and they opened fire." Rainbow Dash replied, "Our defenses are down, too, if they don't accept friendship, our defenses will continue to be a little weaker." Twilight Sparkle said, "I still wanna see what's inside." Pinkie Pie said, "So, we're just gonna leave it at that?" Apple Bloom asked, "I don't think we have much of a choice." Spike replied, "Say, what have the yaks and changelings been doing with them?" Sandbar asked, "King Thorax hasn't done anything yet, he's just watching." Ocellus replied, "Yeah, Prince Rutherford not trust newcomers, so yaks just watch." Yona said, "Wait, I see a birdie flying over them." Fluttershy said, they all watched, the birds flew over the countries and the humans just watched it, "I guess animals can go over them just fine." Twilight Sparkle said, "Ooh, this is splendid, Fluttershy can get the birds and flying bugs to report to her what they see inside the country." Rarity said, "I was thinking the same thing, Rarity." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Still, I can't say I like their outfits, it looks very unfashionable." Rarity said, "Well, they are guardin' the country, so Ah think wearin' fancy clothin' would be the last thing on their minds." Applejack replied, "Can you have your animals tell you what's in the country, Professor Fluttershy?" Silverstream asked, "I'll try." Fluttershy said, "Well, I guess we keep waiting for now." Twilight Sparkle said, and they watched the new country together. The humans watched the area around them and the birds flew by, they saw hippogriffs flying by and some tried to look into the country, the humans aimed their bows and guns at them and they flew back, "The people to the northwest of here are acting a little strange." a female human said, they looked and saw the yaks were looking at them and standing on wooden watchtowers, "Yak cannot see what is in country, watchtower need to be bigger." Prince Rutherford said, and the yaks began building, a male human shot an arrow past Prince Rutherford's right ear and he yelped, "Attempting to look into our country is punishable by death." the male human said, the yaks looked on with shock. Tom and the humans continued to patrol the area and it was noon, the humans went into trapdoors and went into the country while new guards came up, they watched the areas around them and they saw the birds fly around and look into their country while they flew around, the humans watched them and they flew around the country, the birds soon finished and flew away. The humans watched the sea and saw the marine life swimming around the island, "Those animals acting strange to you?" a female human asked, "A little." a male human replied, the marine animals swam around a little and soon left, "Huh. That was strange." the female human said, "It was, let's keep an eye out." the male human replied, and they and the other humans continued patrolling. The birds flew back to Fluttershy's cottage while her friends stood behind her and waited for her to finish communicating with the birds, she finished and went to her friends, "All they can see are gardens, they can't see anything else." Fluttershy said, "What?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Seriously?" Applejack asked, Fluttershy nodded, "Maybe I should try to take a look." Ocellus said, "I had the marine animals go and take a look, too, I'll ask them what they saw later." Fluttershy said, "Why are we doing this again?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Safety reasons, since we don't know what's behind those walls, they might have dangerous war weapons in there." Twilight Sparkle replied, "So, what do we do now?" Apple Bloom asked, "We wait, let's see what they do." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they continued to watch the country. Twilight Sparkle watched the country carefully and used her telescope at home to keep an eye on them, she saw the humans take turns patrolling their country and were on alert twenty four seven, Twilight Sparkle yawned and stopped watching, she laid in her bed and went to sleep. The next day came and the ponies watched the country, a hippogriff ship crashed among the rocks of the new country and wounded hippogriffs drifted ashore onto the island. The injured hippogriffs laid on the ground in pain while the humans just stood and watched. Princess Skystar flew to the country while seaponies came and changed to hippogriffs and got the injured hippogriffs, "Hey!" Princess Skystar said, the humans looked at her, "You have injured people on your island." Princess Skystar said, "Your point?" a male human asked, "Why aren't you guys tending to them?" Princess Skystar asked, "Injured foreigners are not our concern." a female human replied, "WHAT?!" Princess Skystar asked, "You heard us, anything bad that happens to anyone not native to our country will not receive our help." the female human said, "You can't be serious!" Princess Skystar replied, "She is, it doesn't matter if you come to us injured or sick, we will not offer our aid, even if you beg." Tom said, "How did you guys manage to still be a country to this day?!" Princess Skystar asked, "We help one another and love each other in the country, that's it." the male human replied, "Wait until my mom hears about this." Princess Skystar said, "I already did, Skystar." Queen Novo said as she flew to her, "Can you believe these people, mom?!" Princess Skystar asked, "As a matter of fact, I can, we didn't allow foreigners in our country, either." Queen Novo replied, "So you all executed foreigners as well?" Tom asked, "No, we'd show them the way out of the country, not kill them." Queen Novo replied, "I still can't believe you all won't help sick and injured foreigners." Princess Skystar said, "It's the law." Tom replied, Princess Skystar glared at him, "Come on, Skystar, let's go." Queen Novo said, and the hippogriffs left. The humans looked around and saw the ponies and changelings glaring at them, the humans ignored them and continued watching the outside world, more birds flew by and the humans watched them, the birds flew back and forth and the humans watched, they saw the same type of bird flying over their country, "Are they migrating?" a female human asked, "It looks like it." another female human replied, and the birds continued to fly and went past the mountains into the Dragon Lands. The humans watched and two black birds flew from the Dragon Lands went to Equestria. The two birds flew to Ponyville and went to Fluttershy and her friends, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Princess Ember, Gabby, Prince Rutherford, and General Seaspray were also present, the two birds changed to King Thorax and Pharynx, "Well?" Fluttershy asked, "We can't see much, there's only holes in the roof to allow sun in for their gardens to grow." King Thorax replied, "You guys didn't see the people inside?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Nope, holes are too small to see past their gardens." Pharynx replied, "Wait, how big are the gardens?" Applejack asked, "They're actually kind of small." Pharynx replied, "Well, considering the size of that kingdom there, I don't think there would be that many people there." Twilight Sparkle said, "Considering that they are closed off to the rest of the world, I guess gardening is how they grow their food." Princess Luna said, "It would make sense, considering they won't do trade with others." Princess Celestia replied, "The princess was furious with them earlier today." General Seaspray said, "Yes, I saw that, I am livid as well." Princess Celestia replied, "I can't believe they would just leave us injured there, that is not very nice of them." Fluttershy said, "I know, griffons do that, too, I'm tired of seeing it." Gabby replied, "So, what can we do?" Smolder asked, "There's not much we can do, we all know they have gardens inside and need the sun for it to grow, let's wait and see what they do next." Princess Luna replied, "People shot arrow at yak for trying to see what was behind walls." Prince Rutherford said, "We saw that, too, we might be going to war with them soon at this rate." Princess Cadence replied, "I hope not, our country's defenses will lower even more if that happens." Princess Celestia said, "Well, I guess all we can do is wait." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all went their separate ways. The humans continued patrolling the area and they saw seaponies around their island and had pickaxes, they looked and saw them diving deeper into the water to where they could not be seen, "What do we do, Tom?" a male human asked, "Let's wait and see if they come back up." Tom replied, and they continued to watch their borders while the day went on as usual, they watched to see if the seaponies would come back up, they did not, "I wonder what they're doing here." a female human said, "Who knows, just as long as they don't do anything to us." a second male human replied, "Let's keep watching and see if they come back." Tom said, and they did. The humans watched the waters and saw some seaponies come up to the surface with gems from under the water, "Are those pearls?" a second female human asked, "Looks like it." a third female human replied, and the seaponies changed to hippogriffs and flew back to Mount Aris with the pearls, "I guess it'll be fine." Tom said, "Yeah, I don't think them getting pearls under our water is going to affect us." a third male human replied, "Alright, time to switch." Tom said, and they did, they watched their country's borders for the rest of the day and nothing happened. The next day came and there was a commotion in the country, Volvox and Dommiel went outside to see what was going on, "Stop! Thief!" a male human said, the thief laughed as he ran away and the country's guards chased him. The thief climbed up onto a roof of a house and he jumped and grabbed the ledge, he made it onto the roof of the walls and laughed as he ran forward and jumped onto the bridge, he ran away and a woman patrolling the country's border shot an arrow into his back and killed him. The countries around them screamed at what they did and Twilight Sparkle teleported herself and her friends to in front of the bridge, "Excuse me!" Twilight Sparkle said, Tom and the others looked at her, "What was that about?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Laws of our country." a male human replied, "Yeah, yeah, I get it, no foreigner gets into your country." Twilight Sparkle said, "No native gets out, either." a second male human replied, "WHAT?!" Rarity asked while the others looked on with shock and horror, "They can't leave your country, either?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "No, that is punishable by death as well." a female human replied, the Mane Six jaws' dropped, "Excuse me." Princess Celestia said, they all looked up and saw her and Princess Luna coming, they landed on the island and walked forward, "I'd like to have a word with your ruler, I can understand executing foreigners for entering your country, but executing your own people for leaving the country is something I will not allow." Princess Celestia said, "It is the law, anybody who enters or exits our country has to die." Tom replied, "What kind of law is that?! Why is there such a law for your country?" Princess Luna asked, "The ruler doesn't want outside influence to change our ways." Tom replied, "You all should be let out to see the world." Princess Celestia said, "About that, there was nothing but water around us before the earthquake." the female human replied, "Then how did you all know about other creatures?" Princess Celestia asked, "Ships and airships." the first male human replied, "I would like to speak to your ruler." Princess Celestia said, "You address what you want to say to me." Tom replied, "No! I demand an audience with your country's ruler!" Princess Luna said while she reeled up on her hind legs and slammed her front legs on the ground and raised her voice, "No one sees the ruler." the first female human replied, "What do you mean no one sees the ruler?!" Princess Luna asked while her raising her voice more and was just about to use her Royal Canterlot Voice, "I'm his messenger, so just say what you have to say to me and I'll give it to him." Tom replied, "I would like to speak to him directly, but I'd like to know why he doesn't want outside influence in his country." Princess Celestia said, "So we can grow and develop without inference from others." Tom replied, "Okay, I would also like to know why he has his people executed for going outside the country." Princess Celestia said, "Same with the outside influence, it's so the natives don't bring it into our country." Tom replied, "This sounds more like a prison to me." Princess Luna said, "It's not, we can do pretty much anything we want inside." the first female human replied, "Anyway, I suggest you all think of your ways, the other countries are not happy, either, take a look." Princess Celestia said, they did and saw the other countries glaring at them, "Let's go, let's give them time to think." Princess Celestia said, and she and Princess Luna flew away while Twilight Sparkle teleported herself and her friends back. The humans watched their borders and saw a female hippogriff child wash ashore onto their island, "Help." the female hippogriff said weakly as she crawled forward, the humans saw she was anorexic and her stomach growled, the humans aimed their bows and guns at her, "Turn back, this country is off limits to foreigners." a male human said, "But I have nowhere else to go." the hippogriff replied, "You have wings, don't you? Why don't you fly elsewhere?" a female human asked, "They're injured, I can't, I lost my necklace to change to a seapony, too." the hippogriff replied, "Where are your parents?" Tom asked, "They're dead." the hippogriff replied tearfully, "What about your home?" a second male human asked, "It got burned down a week ago." the hippogriff replied, "What was that ship you were on?" Tom asked, "It was taking me to an orphanage, but it crashed and I have nowhere to go." the hippogriff replied, tears fell from her eyes and she crawled forward, "Please, I'm begging you, let me stay here." the hippogriff said as she crawled forward, a female human shot an arrow beside her right talon and the hippogriff yelped, "It doesn't matter if you're a child, injured, hungry, homeless, and an orphan, you're still a foreigner, so if you enter our country, we will have to kill you." the female human said, "Can I at least have something to eat?" the hippogriff asked, "Your problems are not our concern." the first male human replied, the other people in the countries exclaimed and gasped at what they said, and the rulers went to them with the yaks being carried over by dragons, "How dare you refuse to help an injured and homeless child, you all should be ashamed of yourselves!" Princess Luna said, "As we said, foreign problems are not our concerns." the female human replied, "No! This is where I draw the line, I demand a word with your ruler!" Princess Celestia said while raising her voice, "Do you all have to complain about everything?" Tom asked, "Not just us, look around." Princess Luna replied, the humans looked and saw the other creatures around them, "We are all tired of this no foreigners in your country and no natives outside your country law, along with your refusals to help foreigners in need when they come to your country." Princess Celestia said, "What problems have you all had?" Tom asked, "We are forced to change our trade routes to avoid getting shot at." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "You all have made the griffons scared to fly by." Grampa Gruff said, "We have to change course of our ships and are scared of getting gems and jewels from under the water around here." Princess Skystar said, "We are scared to go around here and my kind has been avoiding this area so we are not shot at." King Thorax said, "My kind and I are too scared to even go near this place, but this is something we can't ignore." Rain Shine said, "My empire and the rest of Equestria cannot fly through this area peacefully anymore, we even had to change the direction our train takes to get to Griffonstone because of you guys." Princess Cadence said, "See, there you all go, we'd like to speak to your ruler." Princess Celestia said, "Hold on." Tom replied, and he went into the country. Tom entered the country and walked into the fortress where Volvox and Dommiel were at, "The outsiders would like to see you two." Tom said, "The answer's no." Volvox replied, "Really? They're not happy." Tom said, "We know that, and you know the laws, no foreigners see the ruler." Dommiel replied, "Well, they're not going to be happy, but okay." Tom said, and he left. Tom went back out and the others looked at him, "The ruler said he's not coming out." Tom said, the other creatures began yelling and complaining loudly and angrily and Discord appeared in the air, "How persistent, your ruler still refuses to see them and causes chaos with your laws, I must say, I like this." Discord said, and he disappeared and appeared on the bridge, "Hello, my good people, my name is Discord, and I am here to enter your country." Discord said, the humans shot their arrows and bullets at him, they went through him and into the bridge, the other creatures covered their own ears' due to how loud the guns were, Discord laughed at them, "Nice try, but that's not going to work on me." Discord said, "Volvox, Dommiel, we've got a supernatural entity." Tom said, Dommiel used his shadow powers from inside the country and made everycreature's shadow move up and form into a giant black creature with no lower body, the creatures looked on with awe. The shadow creature smashed Discord with its hand and Discord teleported above it unharmed, "Oh please, is that really your best defense?" Discord asked, Volvox used his powers and hellfire appeared around the country and burned Discord while the others stepped back, the flames extinguished and Discord was still unharmed, "Pathetic, really, now to show you what I can do." Discord said, and he snapped his finger and thumb and made the country's walls and roof disappear. The humans on the watchtowers fell to the ground while the humans inside the walls grabbed their bows and guns from their homes while Dommiel and Volvox got ready to attack Discord, everycreature saw the inside of the country was full of gardens and homes were made from gray bricks, the males wore tonics and leggings while the females wore dresses, "Wait, everyone, stand down." Volvox said in a booming and echoing voice, everycreature stared at him with bewilderment because he was quadrupedal and had three heads and a tail while everybody else in the country were bipedal and had one head and no tail, "But Volvox." a male citizen from his country said, "Look around you, we're outnumbered." Volvox said, the humans saw how many people there were and lowered their weapons, "I assume you're the ruler." Princess Celestia said, "What do you want?" Volvox asked, "I want this no foreigners policy of yours lifted, it has given us nothing but trouble." Princess Celestia replied, "No can do, I still don't wish for outside cultures to influence my own country's." Volvox said, "But you might learn some new and interesting things." Princess Skystar said, "Nope, still not opening our borders." Dommiel replied, "But Dommiel." a female citizen from Volvox's country said, "Relax, I'll get another wall up later." Volvox replied, "No, keep it down, we are paranoid you have dangerous weapons with that wall up." Princess Celestia said, "Take a look around." Volvox replied, and the creatures only saw him, Dommiel, the humans, houses made from gray rocks, and gardens to grow food, "See, there you go, I don't have any hidden weapons or anything." Volvox said, "I'd still like for you to keep your walls down." Princess Celestia replied as she looked up at Volvox's three heads since he was a head taller than she was, "Wow, for the way you look, you're kind of small." Rainbow Dash said, "This isn't my regular size, I can change at will, I am much bigger than this." Volvox replied, "Keep your walls down, and no more executing your own people for leaving the country." Princess Cadence said, "If we don't?" Dommiel asked, "Yaks declare war!" Prince Rutherford replied, "All of us will as well." King Thorax said, "Alright, you guys win, leave now, I have to make new laws." Volvox replied, and the creatures left and Queen Novo took the hippogriff child with her. Volvox gathered his citizens together and he began to go over the new laws, "Alright, everyone, we have to help whoever comes here now if they need it since the other countries will be angry if we don't, also, due to their anger of our laws, we can no longer kill anyone who exits the country." Volvox said, "What do you suggest?" Tom asked, "Simple, if you leave, you'll be exiled and have to live elsewhere, but if you come back, then you will die, how does that sound, everyone?" Volvox asked, the humans nodded and murmured in agreement, "What about outsiders?" a female human asked, "Law still stands, any outsider who comes to our country will still die, are you all okay with that?" Dommiel asked, the humans nodded while smiling, "No, that won't do, we'll be at war if we do that, we'll have to find a way to block them from coming in." Volvox said, "So what do we do about them?" a second female human asked, "I'll just set up walls for now, let's keep the moat, too." Volvox replied, the humans agreed, "Okay, I think it's good, no more killing foreigners for entering our country, but they will be told to leave instead, no more killing natives for exiting our country, they'll be exiled, but will be killed if they come back, and our laws on crime still stand." Dommiel said, the humans nodded in agreement, "Alright, it's decided then." Volvox said, and he used his magic to make the wall reappear and the guards continued to patrol the country. The humans watched the world around them and saw everything go on normally, Twilight Sparkle teleported to their island, "No!" Twilight Sparkle said, the humans looked at her, "You all were supposed to change your laws!" Twilight Sparkle said, "We did." Tom replied, "What did you guys change?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We'll help whoever comes ashore, natives will be exiled if they leave the country, they'll be killed if they come back, and foreigners are still not permitted to enter." a female human replied, Twilight Sparkle's jaw dropped, "No! You're not supposed to execute anyone!" Twilight Sparkle said, "You won't be executed for coming into our country now, you'll likely just be put in the dungeon." Tom replied, "Why won't you guys let us in?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We just don't want any outside influences and wish to remain completely neutral." Tom replied, "You guys don't want any tourists?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Tom and the other border patrol guards shook their heads, "You guys could at least try giving friendship a try, take a look around." Twilight Sparkle said, "We already did." a male human replied, "Don't those acts of kindness and friendliness want you all to open your borders?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the humans shook their heads, "Come on, guys, there are other creatures who want to come here to learn about your culture." Twilight Sparkle said, "The ruler is still thinking about what to do if they do come." Tom replied, "He should allow them in, we all would appreciate it, too." Twilight Sparkle said, "The answer's no." Tom replied, "Come on, everybody, you all could get some valuable materials and resources if you open your borders." Twilight Sparkle said, "Is that all?" a female human asked, "No, you all can make friends and learn history." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Which part of history?" Tom asked, "All parts, each country has a different history, you can share yours, too." Twilight Sparkle replied, "No thanks." a second female human said, "Well, what about trying new food?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We're fine with what we got." Tom replied, "Aren't you all tired of eating the same thing over and over?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the humans shook their heads, "Uh... how about...?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Try to persuade us all you want, you're not coming into our country." Tom said, Twilight Sparkle growled and walked onto the bridge, Volvox sensed her and picked her up with his telekinesis and she struggled to break free while she yelped and exclaimed, he used his magic to make a wooden post appear on the island with a gibbet hanging from it, Volvox put Twilight Sparkle in the gibbet with his telekinesis and the iron rods went into her mouth to silence her and around her horn so she could not use her magic. Twilight Sparkle let out muffled yells of protest through the iron rod in her mouth, "I guess the ruler has finally decided what to do with foreigners who enter the country." a second female human said, "Yes, I think it's a good idea." a second male human replied, the other guards nodded while smiling, another teleportation happened and Starlight Glimmer appeared with her friends, "Let our friend go!" Rainbow Dash said, "She broke the laws of our country, so she must face punishment." Tom replied, "This is punishment?! Having her bound and gagged in a cage?!" Rarity asked, "It's a gibbet, we use it to punish criminals." the first female human replied, "What kind of jail is that?! They can't breathe in that!" Rainbow Dash said, "That's kind of the point." Tom replied, "Let our friend out." Starlight Glimmer said, "After she serves her sentence." Tom replied, "How long will that take?" Applejack asked, Tom went back into his country and soon came back, "Five more minutes." Tom replied, five minutes passed and Volvox made the gibbet disappear with his magic and Twilight Sparkle gasped for her while she fell to the ground and her friends went to her, "You people are not nice." Fluttershy said, "What kind of jail is that? I can't breathe in that thing!" Twilight Sparkle said, "It's designed to asphyxiate you, be grateful we didn't kill you." the second female human replied, Twilight Sparkle's jaw dropped, "Come on, Twilight, let's get you home." Starlight Glimmer said, and she teleported herself and her friends back to the Castle of Friendship. Twilight Sparkle rubbed her own mouth and horn while her friends comforted her, Spike got ice to make the red spots around Twilight Sparkle's mouth go down a little, "What do we do now?" Applejack asked, "I don't know, I'm out of ideas." Twilight Sparkle replied with a lisp, "I can try giving them their welcoming party." PInkie Pie said, "Ah don't think so, Pinkie Pie, they'll likely put ya in one of them cages as well." Applejack replied, "Consider who you're talking to, I'll get out of it in a jiffy." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, I guess it's worth a try, I still can't think of anything else to do." Twilight Sparkle said while still lisping, "Okay, off I go." Pinkie Pie said, and she dashed away. The humans patrolled their borders and watched for anything, "Excuse me." Pinkie Pie said, they looked down at the bridge and saw Pinkie Pie on the grass with her wagon and party cannon, "Can I at least throw you all your 'Welcome to Equestria' party?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Try to persuade us all you want, you're not coming in." Tom said, "No, it's just a party, I'll throw it out here." Pinkie Pie said, "We'll be exiled from our country if we leave." a female human replied, "Can you make an exception this time, I got plenty of things for everybody." Pinkie Pie said, Volvox changed his size and became as tall as Dragon Lord Torch, he looked and saw Pinkie Pie's party items while she smiled, "No." Volvox said, Pinkie Pie frowned while her mane and tail deflated a little, "Don't take it too hard, we're just not going." Volvox said, "What about you guys?" Pinkie Pie asked, the humans shook their heads, Pinkie Pie looked down and walked into the water while Volvox, Tom, and the guards watched her. Twilight Sparkle and her friends waited for Pinkie Pie to come back and she walked into the castle with her entire body wet from going into the water, "How'd it go?" Applejack asked, "They said no." Pinkie Pie replied, "That's it, I'm out of ideas." Twilight Sparkle said, "Twilight, darling, take a break, maybe something will pop into your head." Rarity replied, "Yeah, you should, you don't look well." Starlight Glimmer said, Twilight Sparkle looked at herself at a reflection on her castle's wall and saw she had bloodshot eyes with bags under them, "Yeah, *yawn*, I should rest, you all should, too." Twilight Sparkle said, and she went to sleep while her friends left. The next day came and the guards were going up into the watchtowers to patrol their country, a drunk male guard came up and walked and stumbled around, he moved side-to-side and fell into the moat. The humans ran to get him out but Twilight Sparkle, her friends, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, and the Young Six appeared on their island. Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer used their telekinesis to get the human out of the moat and the others began treating his wounds, they took the glass and rusty metal shards out of his body and put disinfectant on his cuts and bandaged him up. The creatures finished treating the injured human and Twilight Sparkle put him up into the watchtower he was in prior to falling with her telekinesis, "Here you all go." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans aimed their bows and guns at them, "Hey! What gives?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "Our country is still off limits to foreigners." Tom replied, "We just saved the life of one of your citizens." Ocellus said, "That doesn't mean we're opening our borders." a female human replied, the creatures all protest and complain to them loudly and angrily, "Complain all you want, the answer's no." Tom said, "A thank you would be nice!" Silverstream said angrily, "He brought that accident onto himself." a male human replied, "How so?" Fluttershy asked, "Just look at him, he's drunk, he's been drinking on the job." the male human replied, "We still saved his life, you guys owe us." Twilight Sparkle said, "Why?" the female human asked, "That's how things first, we help one of you, and then you help us in return, it's called repaying favors." Twilight Sparkle replied, "The answer's no." the female human said, "Come on now, we just helped you guys." Sandbar said, "Then leave already, before we put you all in gibbets." the female human replied, the creatures complained while Rarity growled, "Come on, everyone, let's go, it's no use." Twilight Sparkle said, and she teleported herself and the others away. Twilight Sparkle and the others arrived back in Ponyville and her friends groaned and growled angrily, "How rude! They didn't even thank us for helping them!" Rarity said, "I know, right, I say we declare war on them." Gallus replied, "No, Equestria's defenses will lower even more if that happens." Twilight Sparkle said, "But our country's defenses won't, I say we fight them." Smolder said, "Yona agree, yaks should declare war!" Yona said, "Everybody, calm down." Twilight Sparkle said, they looked at her, "I know you all are mad, but we should calm down and wait to see what happens, there's really nothing we can do right now but leave them be." Twilight Sparkle said, "Seriously? You've seen how small their country is, we can destroy them." Smolder replied, "Maybe, but you've seen how powerful the two rulers are, just because the country is small doesn't mean it's weak." Twilight Sparkle said, "Come on now, I think a cannon from a hippogriff navy ship will destroy that wall." Gallus replied, "I think so, too, but I really don't want to go to war with them." Silverstream said, "Me neither, they haven't attacked us, either." Ocellus replied, "But their laws have affected all of us, and for the worse." Sandbar said, "Give it time, everycreature, let's just wait and see what happens." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Fine, but one more disagreement between them, and the dragons are going to war." Smolder said, "So are the griffons, Griffonstone's had enough of them." Gallus replied, "Yaks will go, too, after yak figures out way across water." Yona said, "Go home and cool off for now, everycreature, we'll just leave them be for now." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they all left. Pinkie Pie walked around the town for sometime and made sure every foal was alright, she watched the time and was waiting for a certain time to come to go back to the country, she watched the sun and a few hours passed while she worked at Sugarcube Corner, she got her wagon and party materials and walked out of Ponyville. A few hours passed and the humans switched guards, they saw the water bubbling and Pinkie Pie walked out with her wagon, she went to the country, "I'm here to see the person who fell." Pinkie Pie said, "Why?" a female human asked, "I want to throw his 'Get Well Soon' party." Pinkie Pie replied, "Take your things elsewhere." a male human said, "But I got cards and cake." Pinkie Pie replied, "Take those with you." the female human said, "Oh, come on, I've got medicine for him, too." Pinkie Pie replied, "Keep it to yourself." the male human said, "Let me in! Please!" Pinkie Pie replied, "No." the female human said, Pinkie Pie put her head down and her front legs over her face and began to cry, "I wanna enter." Pinkie Pie said, "You can if you wish to be put in a gibbet." the male human replied while Pinkie Pie continued to cry. Pinkie Pie cried her eyes out and soon finished, "You leaving now?" the female human asked, "I still wanna make sure he's okay." Pinkie Pie replied, "You're just going to have to wait until his next shift comes." the female human said, Pinkie Pie frowned even more, "Can I at least see him now to make sure he's okay?" Pinkie Pie asked, "No." the female human replied, Pinkie Pie's jaw dropped a little, "Can you at least let him know I send my regards?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Empathy from foreigners is not welcome in our country." the male human replied, Pinkie Pie screamed out of shock and cried again, "No!" Princess Celestia said as she flew to them from her castle, she landed on the island and walked to them, "You dismiss the concerns of one of my citizens for yours! I will not stand for this!" Princess Celestia said sternly, "It's the law." the male human replied, "No! You are in our land! This place is powered by love and friendship, your refusal to accept a foreigner's concern is unacceptable!" Princess Celestia said very sternly, "What are you getting at?" the female human asked, "You all refuse to thank the others for saving one of your people, and dismissing another person's concern for them is not right! I would like a few words with your ruler!" Princess Celestia replied, Volvox grew himself bigger to see her while Dommiel made two black shadow wings appear on his back and he flew up to see her while Tom came out and went onto a watchtower, "What is it?" Volvox asked, "I would like for you to let my subject here in to see an injured subject of yours." Princess Celestia replied, "Why?" Dommiel asked, "How can you all not see her concern and desire to make sure the person is alright?" Princess Celestia asked, "I do, but I still don't wish for outside influence in my country." Volvox replied, "Even when it's beneficial?" Princess Celestia asked, "Have you ever influenced countries for the better?" Volvox asked, "Take a look, my student and her friends have changed many places for the better." Princess Celestia replied, Volvox looked and saw the ponies helping the other creatures and making them friendlier with others, "See. Why don't you give us all a chance and show you that friendship with us can be helpful?" Princess Celestia asked, "What do you say, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, Volvox looked and saw the dragons and griffons were ready to attack and declare war on him if he refused, "Let's give it a try." Volvox said, the humans looked at him and exclaimed with confusion, Princess Celestia became suspicious and looked around, "Stand down, everycreature, no violence." Princess Celestia said, the dragons and griffons did not, "*sigh* They're not going to stand down, I wish you all good luck, Pinkie, go get your friends." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away while Pinkie Pie dashed to Ponyville. Twilight Sparkle and her five friends went to the island while Volvox took the walls down and they entered, "Alright, everyone, we'd like to see that injured person first." Twilight Sparkle said, and the humans went to go get him, the man limped to them while the six mares went to him, "Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked, the man nodded, she looked at his cuts and saw they were not deep and were healing, "Wow, you're healing quickly, you'll be fine in no time." Fluttershy said, and the humans carried him away. The six mares walked forward and saw the gardens, "Y'all havin' trouble growin' food?" Applejack asked, the humans shook their heads, "Let me see the soil, though, Ah might be able to give y'all better soil." Applejack said, and she walked to a garden, she examined the soil and saw it was dark brown, "Yeah, Ah might be able to give y'all better soil." Applejack said, and they walked around more. Rarity looked at the humans and paid attention to their outfits, which she did not like, "I must say, you all need more diversity in your outfits, you all can use more than just tonics and leggings, and you all should wear more diverse dresses, I shall prepare them when I have the time." Rarity said, the humans looked at her with confusion, they walked around more and Rainbow Dash looked around, she saw kids running around and playing tag, she saw more kids playing with jacks, and other kids playing hopscotch, "Wow, I guess they don't have much things to do for fun." Rainbow Dash said, she also looked at the guards and saw they all wore the same outfit. Pinkie Pie left the group and looked around to see what sweets they made, she saw only fruits, "*gasp* You guys don't have any pies?" Pinkie Pie asked as she looked around, she looked at the sweets and desert and saw only fruits and nuts, she left and came back with her cakes and pies, "Here you go, everybody, enjoy." Pinkie Pie said, the humans did not pay attention to her, "Come on, everybody, they're yummy in the tummy." Pinkie Pie said, the humans still ignored her, she looked down and walked away. Twilight Sparkle looked around for books and did not see any, she looked and soon saw cookbooks and history books, "You guys don't have many books, I see." Twilight Sparkle said as she looked around and the humans ignored her, she went to a child she saw reading a book and he looked at her, "What are you reading?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the boy showed her and Twilight Sparkle saw the book was a fairy tale, "Oh, I have books like that, too, would you like one?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the boy shook his head, "Understandable since we're new here, maybe you'll change your mind after you read one." Twilight Sparkle said, and she walked around. The six mares looked around while the humans ignored them, "Okay, I think we can win them over, let's try helping them tomorrow, come on, let's go home, it's late." Twilight Sparkle said, and she teleported herself and the other five back to Ponyville. The humans complained to Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom about the decision to let them in, "Settle down, everybody, those other countries were going to attack us if I didn't open our borders, we're greatly outnumbered." Volvox said, "But how powerful are they militarily?" a male human asked, "We don't know, and even if they're weak, they can still overwhelm us in numbers." Dommiel replied, "That horse country doesn't look too strong." a female guard said, "Look again." Volvox replied, and the humans did, they saw the ponies had control over the weather, various magic spells, royal guards, the Wonderbolts, and Discord causing chaos, "See? Going to war against them is unwise, it'd be better to just let them in so the other countries don't go to war with us." Volvox said, "I don't like this new change." a second female human said, "None of us do, but we have to, we don't have a choice." Dommiel replied, "Let's wait for now and see if our feelings change later." Tom said, the humans became silent and decided to go on with their days while Volvox and Dommiel entered their fortress. The next day came and Twilight Sparkle teleported herself and her friends to the island with their items and they went to go see them, Twilight Sparkle saw the boy from before and showed a collection of books, "Here you go, pick the one you like the most." Twilight Sparkle said, the boy chose a purple book and opened it and he saw it was a picture book with words on it, "Can you read it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the boy nodded, Twilight Sparkle smiled and the boy read the book while she watched. Rainbow Dash flew around and looked for something to do for fun, she saw the kids playing tag and with jacks while the adults conversed and got on with their days, Rainbow Dash flew around and did stunts for whoever would be interested and a bunch of kids went over to watch her, they gathered around and watched in awe as Rainbow Dash did aerial stunts, a few adults watched her as well while Rainbow Dash smiled and had fun. Fluttershy tended to the babies since there were no animals in the country, she sang lullabies to crying babies and they calmed down, the female humans watched her and smiled while Fluttershy sang and her voice soothed many humans, "Do you all have any songs you all like to sing?" Fluttershy asked, the humans looked at one another, "Umm...?" the humans asked, "You all don't have any music to sing?" Fluttershy asked, the humans shook their heads, "That's okay, I have more songs to sing." Fluttershy said, and she sang more lullabies while the humans listened. Pinkie Pie hopped around and gave the humans her confectioneries and they tried them, "What do you all think?" Pinkie Pie asked, the humans nodded while smiling, "Goodie, I'll get your welcoming party ready soon." Pinkie Pie said, and she dashed away while the humans continued trying her confectioneries. Rarity brought dresses to the country and females looked at them with interest, "One at a time now please, there's enough for everybody." Rarity said, and the females looked at the dresses and admired the patterns and stitching, Rarity continued to show them the dresses and eventually began showing the females shoes, "Here you all go, I have many different colors, shapes, and sizes, take whichever one you like the best." Rarity said, and the females continued looking at her outfits. Applejack was giving the humans new soil to use to grow crops with, "Here y'all go, fresh soil from mah farm, give it a few months and Ah think y'all will like the results." Applejack said, the humans took the soil and began putting on the ground and began plowing it to make it suitable for using to grow crops. Applejack looked and saw the humans had carrots, corn, pumpkin, squashes, and tomatoes as crops, "Y'all need help?" Applejack asked, the humans shook their heads and Applejack walked away. Twilight Sparkle and her friends gathered together and watched the humans, "Well, Ah think we're done here for today." Applejack said, "It went pretty well for a first day for me, how about you guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yup, I had an awesome time doing tricks for them." Rainbow Dash replied, "I'm able to calm and soothe babies when they cry, it was so fun to do." Fluttershy said, "I gave my treats to them and they loved them." Pinkie Pie said, "My clothes are already getting attention, I think this will be very beneficial." Rarity said, "They're already usin' my soil, Ah'll see how their crops grow after a few days." Applejack said, "Okay, good, we're off to a good start, let's come back tomorrow." Twilight Sparkle said, and she teleported herself and her friends back to Ponyville. A week passed and the Mane Six continued helping others, Twilight Sparkle gave the humans books for them to read, Rainbow Dash did stunts, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie tended to the children, Rarity gave her clothes to them, and Applejack watched the soil, "Look." a male human said, they did and saw the crops grew faster and bigger in Applejack's soil than their own soil, "See, Ah told y'all it would work." Applejack said, and they continued tending to their crops. The humans went to Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom and talked about the foreigners, "Alright, everyone, settle down, what is it?" Volvox asked, "These foreigners are actually pretty helpful to have around." a male human child replied, the humans murmured in agreement, "Yes, we noticed, but what is it you all want?" Dommiel asked, "We'd like the foreigners policy removed." a male human replied, the other humans agreed, "You all sure?" Tom asked, the humans said they were, "Alright, it's decided, it'll be removed since majority rules, those of you who don't want it removed, you may go to another country or continue living here." Volvox said, the humans who did not want the no foreigners policy removed nodded, "Alright, I'll let the others know." Volvox said, and he grew in size, the creatures looked at him, "It's been decided, we'll remove the policy about the foreigners, you all can come." Volvox said, the other creatures cheered, "Hold on, I'm not done yet." Volvox said, and they got quiet, "Those who don't want it removed may leave my country, so natives can exit, too, just keep that in mind if they decide to leave my country. That is all." Volvox said, and he shrunk back down to the size he stayed at while the world's creatures cheered, "Alright, let's see how things go." Volvox said, and they waited to see what would happen. The next day came and the other creatures were in their country already, they saw the creatures going around and a new pony they did not recognize, "Is this the country?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Yeah, they would execute foreigners for entering their countries and natives for exiting it, they removed the policy yesterday." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I learned there was a country with a similar policy or law in my world many years ago, I forgot which country it was, though." Sunset Shimmer said, "Your world had it, too?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yeah, I'm surprised to see it in this world, though." Sunset Shimmer said, "Well, it's gone, so let's look around." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they did. Volvox watched the foreigners and he saw how excited the foreigners were to enter, "Hi there." a female voice said, Volvox looked down at the creature, "My name is Autumn Blaze, and your country looks kind of boring to me, I was hoping you would hire a jester like me to spice things up a bit." the creature said, "Sorry, but I'm not hiring anyone right now." Volvox replied, "Oh, I see, well, come see me if you change your mind." Autumn Blaze said, and she walked around, "Hey, King Volvox." Silverstream said as she flew to him, "It's Emperor Volvox." Volvox replied, "I was thinking that you should add some statues and decorations to your country." Silverstream said, "Why?" Volvox asked, "Because it's so boring the way it is, everything is made from stone, it's all one color, and there's only grass and gardens here." Silverstream replied, "Your point?" Volvox asked, "I think some decorations and paint will attract some tourists." Silverstream replied, "I have no interest in tourism." Volvox said, "But don't you want more creatures to come and check out your country?" Silverstream asked, "That's their choice, if they want to, they can come if they wish." Volvox replied, "But tourists will also want to learn your culture." Silverstream said, "You can see our culture from your homes." Volvox replied, "No, not that, I mean as in holidays and celebrations." Silverstream said, "We don't have any." Volvox replied, "What? What about your own birthday?" Silverstream asked, "That's not a holiday." Volvox replied, "Well, you should add something, it'll make visiting this country better." Silverstream said, "I'll think about it." Volvox replied, Silverstream smiled and flew away. Volvox watched the foreigners and streamers went off, "Welcome to Equestria, every... um... uh... what are you creatures called?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Humans." Tom replied, "Welcome to Equestria, everyhuman." Pinkie Pie said, and the party began, everybody joined in while Pinkie Pie made the humans try her treats and games, "Say, where were you guys before the earthquake happened?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Very far up north from here." Tom replied, "Yeah, very far, you couldn't even see our country from the northernmost part of these lands and high up in the sky." Dommiel said, "Wow, you guys were that far away from here?" Sunburst asked, "Yup, we couldn't see you guys, either." Volvox replied, "And there ain't anycreature else up there?" Applejack asked, "Nope, just us." Volvox replied, "Then why do you guys have a moat?" Smolder asked, "That to prevent natives from getting out the country." Tom replied, "Well, you all should remove all of those sharp objects and rusted materials, I think it would make a great swimming pool." Twilight Sparkle said, "What do you two say?" Volvox asked, "I don't think we have a choice." Dommiel replied, "Yeah, probably not." Tom said, "Alright, another time." Volvox said, the creatures seeing him smiled and walked away. Pinkie Pie's party continued and Trixie and Starlight Glimmer did a show and everybody enjoyed it, "Well, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "Maybe some outside influence isn't so bad after all." Volvox replied, and the party continued until nighttime. A month passed and the moat was now a swimming pool, the country got more decorative and diverse in terms of clothing, architecture, and games for kids to play, they also got more books to read, and learned about other cultures, the humans traveled out and went to the other lands and were welcomed in. Equestria's defenses went back up to maximum power and the humans lived peacefully with the other creatures.
Single GenderVolvox was an ancient being who was born on a land surrounded by many other kingdoms, he had a twin sister born with him as well, the two began to set up their own kingdoms and everybody lived under the two in peace, his sister proposed an idea to him, they would rule a kingdom with only one gender in it and see how they develop, the other creatures agreed and Volvox decided to try it to see what would happen. Several years passed and the kingdoms were created, Volvox ruled an all-male kingdom while his sister ruled an all-female one, the two had several different types of creatures in them, Volvox's second-in-command was a demon named Dommiel, his bodyguard was a ghoul named Giovi, his adviser was a time traveler only known as the Count of Saint Germain, and his public speaker and commander of law and military was a human named Tom, the five looked out and saw how many different creatures lived in the kingdom, "Alright, so, how many different type of creatures are here now?" Volvox asked, "Let's see, human, mutant, angel, demon, vampire, werewolf, troll, ghoul, golem, incubus, elf, fairy, orc, dwarf, apostle, centaur, transylvanian, merman, cenobite, and tyrant, so yeah, quite a bit." Dommiel replied, "Wow, that's actually more than I thought." Volvox said, "I think your sister has just as many creatures in her kingdom." Tom said, Volvox looked from the top of his palace and saw his sister's kingdom, she had a diverse kingdom as well, "Well, we'll be having some more creatures here soon, I think, I'm just lucky we all live in a utopia right now." Volvox said, "How many more creatures you think are out there?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "A lot, we've been getting apostles ever since our encounter with Ganishka." Volvox replied, "What do you think of your kingdom so far, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "It's pretty average if you ask me, you've got gardeners there, entertainers there, we also have assassins, soldiers, mercenaries, and doctors, so yeah, a pretty normal kingdom if you ask me." Volvox replied, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, and Tom smiled. The door opened and a tall human with red hair came in, "Hey, Volvox." the human said as he walked forward, he and the other four looked and saw it was Gene, "What do you want, Gene?" Volvox asked, "When are you gonna start letting some women in?" Gene asked, "I already said, Gene, my sister decided on letting us be divided by gender, so if you really want women as company, you're just going to have to go out the country." Volvox replied, "Why did she come up with the dumb idea to begin with?" Gene asked, "She wanted to see how societies will develop with only one gender in them." Volvox replied, "That's stupid if you ask me, when they're gone, so is the entire place." Gene said, "Them, not me, I can start over." Volvox replied, "Yeah, easy for you to say." Gene said, "You're welcome to leave if you want to, Gene, no one's holding you back." Volvox said, "There's literally nowhere else with people, and besides, I'm always available if you're looking for help or need bodyguard work." Gene replied, "Why don't you serve under us as an assassin?" Dommiel asked, "Nah, my last trip had assassins after me, it left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth ever since." Gene replied, "Well, go on and leave, I have a kingdom to watch." Volvox said, and Gene left, "Really a shame, he would've made a good assassin." Tom said, "True, but maybe we can hire him for mercenary work or fight in the tournament." Volvox replied, "I agree, I think he'd be a good opponent." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Maybe, let's wait a bit and see if we can find a job for him." Volvox replied, and they got to running the country. Volvox watched the country along with Dommiel and Giovi while the Count of Saint Germain discussed with others on how to make the law enforcement on future events to prepare for while Tom walked around the kingdom and made sure everybody lived in peace, everything went well and he climbed into a watchtower to see if there was anyone coming to the kingdom, there was no one, so he climbed down. The kingdom ran smoothly and a big earthquake suddenly happened, "Which one of you cast earth magic?" Volvox asked, the citizens shook their heads, "Anyway, brace for impact." Volvox said, and the plate tectonics shifted. The world shook as the creatures screamed, "What's going on?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Ah don't know." Applejack replied, and the earthquake stopped while everycreature held onto whatever they could. Everycreature got up and looked around, "Is everyone alright?" Twilight Sparkle asked, everycreature nodded, "*gasp* Look!" Pinkie Pie said as she pointed, everycreature gasped at seeing a new kingdom in the water that was to the northwest of the Dragon Lands, "A new place." Rainbow Dash said, "Come on, we can at least welcome them." Twilight Sparkle said, and her friends got into the hot air balloon and headed to the island. Twilight Sparkle and her five other friends arrived at the island and parked the hot air balloon, the six walked to the entrance, a green light came out and scanned them and they heard the double doors lock, "Hey, what gives?" Applejack asked, Tom and the others heard them and they and several creatures climbed up into the watchtowers and saw them, "Um, hi, Princess of Friendship here to welcome you guys." Twilight Sparkle said, "Sorry, but we can't let you in." Tom replied, "What?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Why not?" Rarity asked, "This is a single gender society." Tom replied, "Huh?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "What?!" Rarity asked, "You heard me, this is an all-male society, you six want the all-female society over there." Tom said as he pointed to his left, but he saw the all-female society was not there, "What?" a human asked, the other creatures went to the walls and looked around while Dommiel grew shadow wings and flew while Volvox grew bigger and they all looked around, the other creatures noticed how many different creatures lived in the kingdom, "Where is the all-female society?" another human asked, "Anyway, we're here to welcome you guys, so can we come in?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Nope, it's illegal to let females in here." Tom replied, "Oh, come on, who came up with that?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "My sister." Volvox replied, "Your sister?" Fluttershy asked, "Yeah, she wanted to see how societies will develop if they only had one gender." Tom replied, "Can we at least throw you all a welcoming party?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Nope, we can't let any of you in for any reason." Tom replied, "So, we can't enter your country." Applejack said, "Yeah, only males can enter, so you're just going to have to leave." Tom said, the six mares looked down and walked back to the hot air balloon, "Sorry." Tom said, and the hot air balloon took off. The hot air balloon went back to Equestria and Rarity growled, "I can't believe they didn't let us in, that is no way to treat a lady." Rarity said, "Still, no females allowed, that's a weird law." Rainbow Dash said, "I know, Rainbow, I'm just as baffled as you are, and a society with only one gender is not going to live on for generations, they should change it." Twilight Sparkle replied, "What do we do now?" Applejack asked, "Well, since they won't let girls in, I might have to send Spike to act as our messenger." Twilight Sparkle replied, "And if that doesn't work?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Then we might have to send my brother or Sunburst instead." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Um... we can see their kingdom from here." Fluttershy said, they looked and saw the inside of their kingdom behind the walls, "It looks pretty normal to me." Applejack said, "Yeah, what a diverse amount of creatures, though." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, I guess we should just head on back and make arrangements to stay on their good side." Applejack said, and they went back to Ponyville. The creatures around the world murmured about the law and Volvox listened to them, "A single gender society? How did they live to be around?" Princess Skystar asked, "That's beyond me, Skystar, we're going to have to send Sky Beak and General Seaspray to handle the politics, maybe Terramar, too." Queen Novo replied, "You going, father?" Princess Ember asked, "No need, Ember, I can see everything just fine from here." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "You wanna go, Pharynx?" King Thorax asked, "I'll think about it, I think we can both go together." Pharynx replied, "You all stay here, I'll go and check it out later." Grampa Gruff said, "Yak will go to new place soon, other yaks wait here." Prince Rutherford said, "Who should we send, Rain Shine?" Autumn Blaze asked, "I don't know, Autumn Blaze, I'm going to have to choose when I have the time." Rain Shine replied, Volvox watched the world as they discussed what to do, he looked around and noticed a lot of creatures around his kingdom, "What do you think, sister?" Princess Luna asked, "I'm going to contact the Crystal Empire soon, I'm going to see if Shining Armor is available to handle trade and relations with them." Princess Celestia replied, Volvox shrugged and he shrunk himself to a smaller size and went back into his palace. The Mane Six met up with one another in Twilight Sparkle's castle and they went to Spike, "Spike, I have a favor to ask of you, that new kingdom there doesn't allow girls inside, can you act as our speaker and ambassador for us?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Sure, I won't let you down." Spike replied, "Thanks, Spike." Twilight Sparkle said, "Still, a single gender kingdom, I've never seen one of those before." Starlight Glimmer said, "None of us have, it's still very surprising such a place exists." Twilight Sparkle replied, "And that big three-headed guy said there's another one with only girls in it." Rainbow Dash said, "I am still very baffled by this, I don't even know how they came up with something like that." Rarity said, "We're all baffled, Rarity, Ah'm still havin' trouble gettin' it through mah head." Applejack replied, Spike burped and letter came out, "It's from Princess Celestia, she's saying Shining Armor and Sunburst are going to be going to the kingdom." Spike said, "Good, we can always use more than one." Twilight Sparkle said, "Can I have Cheese Sandwich throw them a welcoming party?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Maybe later, Pinkie, we need to see what they're like, first." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I sure hope their animals are alright." Fluttershy said, "We'll know when Spike sees the place, Fluttershy." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they looked at the kingdom and saw the other creatures going over, "Oh, they're going already, you should go, too, Spike." Twilight Sparkle said, "On it." Spike replied, and he flew to the kingdom. Spike flew to the new kingdom and met up with Shining Armor, Sunburst, Sandbar, Gallus, King Thorax, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, Sky Beak, and General Seaspray, "Sandbar? Gallus? What are you two doing here?" Spike asked, "The girls wanted to know what was in here, too, so we're here for them." Sandbar replied, "I hope it's fun inside." Gallus said, the green light scanned them and the doors opened, the natives of the kingdom looked at them, "Who are you guys?" Volvox asked, "We're ambassadors from the other countries." Sunburst replied, "Which ones?" Dommiel asked, "He and I are ambassadors for the ponies." Shining Armor said as he pointed to Sunburst, "I'm here as an ambassador for them, too." Spike said, "Aren't you here to represent them?" Volvox asked as he pointed to the Dragon Lands, "Huh? No dragon ambassador?" Spike asked, "Doesn't look like it." Gallus replied, "Me represent yak." Prince Rutherford said, "I'm here to represent the changelings." King Thorax said, "I represent the griffons." Grampa said, "And I represent the hippogriffs and seaponies." General Seaspray said, "Two creatures?" Tom asked, "Yes, I can change between the two at will." General Seaspray replied, "Hold on. Gene, I got a new job for you." Tom said, and Gene walked out, "Alright, guys, let's get this over with." Gene said, "And you are..." Sunburst said, "Gene Starwind, freelancer, I'll be acting as your tour guide." Gene replied, "You're a tour guide?" King Thorax asked, "You got a problem with it?" Gene asked, "It's just... you don't look like a tour guide." King Thorax replied, "You really don't, I mean, you have a knife, whatever that thing there on your right thigh is, a star on your shoulder, and you're covered in scars." Gallus said, "It's from my other jobs, I usually don't do jobs like this." Gene replied, "What jobs do you usually do?" General Seaspray asked, "Treasure hunting, bodyguard work, and sometimes make money at the tournament." Gene replied, "You guys have a magic tournament?" Shining Armor asked, "Fighting tournament." Gene replied, some of the ambassadors became uncomfortable, "Anyway, let's go, let's make this quick." Gene said, "Wait!" a voice said, everybody looked and saw a male kirin running on the water and to them, "I hope I'm not too late, I'm here to represent the kirins." the kirin said, "Is that everyone?" Gene asked, they nodded, "Let's go." Gene said, and they entered the kingdom. Gene led the creatures into the kingdom and there were humans in front of them already, they saw a yellow car driving people around, it finished and people came out, "What is that?" Grampa Gruff asked, "A taxi, driver's a bit messed up in the head, though." Gene replied, the driver came out and the creatures looked at him with bewilderment since he was wearing sunglasses and had a mohawk, "Hey, Gene, alright if I drive them around?" the taxi driver asked, "Another time, Travis." Gene replied, "You know him?" Spike asked, "Everybody does, he's Travis Bickle, he's been hailed as a hero recently for stopping some crime around the kingdom." Gene replied, "Still, that's not an ideal mane style to have for his job." Sunburst said, "You guys have taxis, too?" Gene asked, "Yeah." Shining Armor replied, "Anyway, let's keep going." Gene said, and they walked forward. Gene led the group and they looked around and saw many creatures singing, dancing, drawing, painting, sewing, arranging flowers, making movies, the group exclaimed and Gene looked, they were looking at a singer, "Oh, that's just Dr. Frank-N-Furter." Gene said, "What is he wearing?" General Seaspray asked, "He always dresses like that." Gene replied, "That looks like girl clothing." Spike said, "Anyway, let's go, I don't have all day." Gene said, and they followed him. Gene led the ambassadors around the country and they saw a bunch of people at a boxing ring, "That's the tournament area right there, you fight with everything you got, and you win money for each round you win." Gene said, "Hey, Sandbar, you wanna try, you against me?" Gallus asked, "No." Sandbar replied, screaming was heard and a human flew out of the ring and got buried into the ground while a tall humanoid creature wielding a big sword in one hand and a battleaxe in his other hand stood triumphantly, "And Nosferatu Zodd wins again." an announcer said, the creatures around the ring cheered, "Is he alright?" King Thorax asked, "Yeah, he'll be hospitalized soon." Gene replied, "So, what's next?" General Seaspray asked, "This way." Gene replied, and he led them. The group arrived at a training field and saw many different creatures training and fighting, "This is where recruits train to be soldiers, we're always looking for new people to join our army." Gene said, "Wow, so many different creatures." Spike said, "See that guy? That's Big Boss, he's the greatest soldier we've ever had in our kingdom." Gene said as he pointed to him, "He does look a bit rough around the edges." General Seaspray said, "He is, ever since he... lost his mentor, he's never been the same." Gene replied, "What happened?" Sunburst asked, "He doesn't want to talk about it." Gene replied, "Wait, Gene, quick question, where's the school?" Sandbar asked, Gene pointed and they looked and saw an all-boys school, there was a picture that had a blond haired man named Eikichi Onizuka that has been elected the teacher of the year, and the top student in the school was a person named Sakamoto, "Who is that guy there?" Spike asked as he pointed, Gene looked, "That's Black Jack, he's our kingdom's top surgeon." Gene replied, "Kingdom is pretty small." Prince Rutherford said, "It is, but Volvox has thought about expanding it a bit." Gene replied, "Speaking of rulers, we need to meet with them to establish relationships." Shining Armor said, "This way." Gene replied, and they followed him. Gene led the ambassadors into the palace and they saw suits of armor on the sides of the hall, "Volvox, we're here." Gene said as they walked, Volvox, Dommiel, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, and Tom faced them, "You all enjoyed your time here?" Volvox asked, "No, I was hoping it'd make me more bored." Gallus replied, "So, who are you guys?" Sandbar asked, "I am Emperor Volvox, supreme ruler of this kingdom." Volvox replied, "Dommiel, I'm Volvox's right-hand demon, I run things when he's not available." Dommiel said, "I am the Count of Saint Germain, time traveler, I am his adviser." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Name's Tom, I command the police and military, I'm also Volvox's public speaker." Tom said, "And this is Giovi, my bodyguard, he's not one for words." Volvox said, "What is he?" Sunburst asked, "A ghoul." Tom replied, "Are those knife blades on his hands?" Sandbar asked, "Yeah, he lost his claws many years ago." Dommiel replied, "Okay, so, um... Emperor Volvox, we're here to establish good relations, since this area you're in is ran by friendship." Shining Armor said, the five looked at the ambassadors with bafflement, "Seriously?" Dommiel asked, "Yes, our country's defenses will go down if we have a bad relationship with a country." Sunburst replied, "How about the rest of you?" Tom asked, "Nope, dragons usually don't do friends, but this one does." Spike replied, "I'm more powered by love than friendship." King Thorax said, "Do I look like I have friendship?" Grampa Gruff asked, "Well, we just opened borders recently, but it is nice to have an ally." General Seaspray said, "We're thinking about adapting friendship, we just reopened our homes to other creatures recently." the kirin said, "I think it's best if we do, Volvox, remember what happened when Ganishka attacked us." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Ganishka started a war with us to conquer the world, these guys aren't, but I do agree with you." Volvox replied, "Will you?" Spike asked, "Sure, we don't need another war." Volvox replied, "Great, we'll discuss trade and deals and we'll be going." Shining Armor said, "Here you go, Gene." Volvox said as he used telekinesis to give him money, "Thanks, aren't you going to introduce them to your assassins?" Gene asked, the ambassadors exclaimed with confusion, "Assassins?" Shining Armor asked, "Yeah, he has assassins to hunt down criminals who escape his kingdom." Gene replied, "We're required to meet them, too." King Thorax said, "Alright, come on here, guys." Volvox said, and the assassins came forward, they saw seven assassins, "Who are you guys?" King Thorax asked, "That one there is Plissken." Gene replied as he pointed to him, "Call me Snake." Plissken said, "Who is that tall guy with the hat there?" Spike asked, "Mr. X, he's not one for words, either." Dommiel replied, "That guy next to him?" Sunburst asked, "Birkin, he's also known as G, we call that form G3 because that's his third mutation." Tom replied, "Who is guy there with long silver stick there?" Prince Rutherford asked, they looked at the person, "Oh, that, what he's holding is a rocket launcher, that's Nemesis." Volvox replied, "His face is kind of scary looking." Spike said, "That next guy there is Pinhead, he's one of the more dangerous ones." Gene said, "I see you all desire friendship, you all can benefit from my assistance." Pinhead said, the ambassadors got an uneasy feeling from him, "Who's the next one there?" the kirin asked, "I am Candyman, I live as a legend among these people." the next assassin replied, "Why does he have a hook for his hand?" Spike asked, "He lost his real hand many years ago." Gene replied, "I bet he'll look much smaller when he takes off the coat." Grampa Gruff said, the natives of the kingdom groaned with uneasiness, "Trust us, you don't want to see what he looks like under the coat." Gene said, "Yeah, it's super gross." Tom said, "Anyway, that last assassin there is a guy I have history with." Gene said, "I have two names, my real name is Leilong, my name when I'm on the job is Shimi." the last assassin said, "Which name do you go by right now?" Spike asked, "My real name." Leilong replied, "Who's the top assassin among you seven?" Gallus asked, "I am." Leilong replied, "He's not the top assassin in the kingdom, though." Volvox said, "Who would that be?" Sandbar asked, "This way." Gene said, and they followed him, "See that tall guy there, short black hair and wearing the white suit?" Gene asked as he pointed to him, "Yeah, I see him." Sunburst said, "That's Duke Togo, also known as Golgo 13, he's the best assassin in the kingdom." Gene said, "Why isn't he here?" Sandbar asked, "Because he won't enter into long-term contracts, he'll usually only do one job per person." Volvox replied, "Well, I'll be taking my leave now." Gene said, "Alright, you did well, Gene, we'll be in touch if we have another job for you." Volvox said, "Say, Gene, do they hire you to do assassin work?" Gallus asked, "Nope, I am hired for bodyguard work sometimes, though." Gene replied, "Well, go on now, Gene, we need to discuss business and trade." Tom said, and he left while the ambassadors spoke, they left the kingdom and went back home hours later. Spike went back to the Castle of Friendship and met up with the Mane Six, "How'd it go, Spike?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Sorry to say this, but I'm going to have to act as an ambassador for the Dragon Lands instead since they didn't send any ambassadors." Spike replied, the six mares became speechless, "It's alright, Spike, I'm sure you'll do well." Twilight Sparkle said after a while, "So, what exactly were you able to come up with?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Well, I discussed giving them some gems as trade, and they give us some of their own gems." Spike replied, "That's it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "For now." Spike replied, and he talked about what was in the kingdom. Sandbar and Gallus were at the School of Friendship and were meeting with Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream, "They have fighting tournaments?" Smolder asked, "Yup." Gallus replied, "What was this about the rulers having assassins?" Ocellus asked, "They said it's so they can hunt down criminals who run away from the country." Sandbar replied, "What did they look like?" Silverstream asked, "Most of them actually looked pretty scary." Sandbar replied, "Did Sandbar and Gallus get souvenir?" Yona asked, "Sorry, but we had a tour guide who just showed us around, we couldn't get anything." Gallus replied, "So, how is the place?" Ocellus asked, "Looks pretty normal to me." Sandbar replied, "Yeah, they have entertainers, police, military, ways to make money, nothing special, really." Gallus said, "Nothing caught your interests?" Ocellus asked, "No, not really." Sandbar replied, "Well, some of the people in there do look pretty weird." Gallus said, "How?" Silverstream asked, "Well, there was one guy in there wearing girl's clothing." Gallus replied, Ocellus', Smolder's, Yona's, and Silverstream's eyes' widened, "Really?" Smolder asked, Sandbar and Gallus nodded, "Can you all elaborate on everything you all saw?" Ocellus asked, and the two talked about the place. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were in a tree and looking at the kingdom, "What do y'all two think?" Apple Bloom asked, "Looks pretty normal to me." Scootaloo replied, "Yeah, I see nothing unique about the kingdom." Sweetie Belle said, "Ah think Ah see a farm." Apple Bloom said, they looked and saw several creatures plowing the field with animals, "I still wanna enter the place." Sweetie Belle said, "Me too, it looks fun." Scootaloo replied, "Ah'm sure they'll come around later, let's just watch for now." Apple Bloom said, and they continued observing the kingdom from the tree. Shining Armor and Sunburst were with Princess Cadence and discussed things with her, "You considered trading crystals with them?" Princess Cadence asked, "Yeah, the ruler said the carvers can use them to make new art." Shining Armor replied, "Really? That's wonderful, I do think their kingdom can use some decoration." Princess Cadence said, "Me too, we didn't see a library anywhere, though." Sunburst replied, "No historical documents?" Princess Cadence asked, "Well, if they have it, our tour guide didn't point it out to us." Shining Armor replied, "I see, well, you should go tell the Crystal Empire what the deal with them was." Princess Cadence said, and Shining Armor went to go tell the crystal ponies about their new relationship. Princess Ember was with Dragon Lord Torch and the other dragons, they complained to them about the deal, "Now, look, I know you all are upset we have to give them our gems, but they're not asking for much, just one gem from each deal is fine." Princess Ember said, the dragons still complained, "Ember, remember, the gems are our food." Dragon Lord Torch said, "I'm not the one who came up with this deal, it was Spike." Princess Ember replied, the dragons booed her, "Everydragon, relax, I'll have a talk with Spike later." Princess Ember said, and the dragons grumbled about it. The griffons in Griffonstone were complaining to Grampa Gruff about his deal in trade, "We have to give them our scones?!" Gilda asked, "It's all I can think of, unless you want to give them your money." Grampa Gruff replied, the griffons disagreed, "Anyway, that's the cheapest thing I can think of, there is no way I'm giving them our history books or sharing the customs of our culture, they are too sacred." Grampa Gruff said, "Okay, so what are they giving us in return?" Gilda asked, "Some of their own cuisine." Grampa Gruff replied, "I bet it'll be worthless compared to ours." Gilda said, the griffons nodded, "All we can do right now is wait, let's see what happens next." Grampa Gruff said, and the griffons nodded as they waited. Prince Rutherford met with the yaks in Yakyakistan and talked about the deal he made, "Yak must give new kingdom some of our fur?" a male yak asked, "Rutherford does not want share yak culture, so we give goods instead." Prince Rutherford replied, "Must yak trim fur?" another male yak asked, "No, we give fur from previous winter to kingdom." Prince Rutherford replied, "What kingdom give us?" the first yak asked, "Kingdom give us coats to keep us warmer in winter." Prince Rutherford replied, "Yak like deal." the second yak said, the other yaks smiled and Prince Rutherford went to go gather old fur. King Thorax discussed the deal with the changeling kingdom and the changelings murmured about it, "So, we're going to have to give them some of our carvings and potteries while they're going to give us their paintings." Pharynx said, "Yup, I think it sounds good." King Thorax replied, "Thorax, we need ways to defend ourselves." Pharynx said, "I know, but I think sharing culture would be better, we're not under Chrysalis' rule anymore." King Thorax replied, "So what? We can use some weapons and training." Pharynx said, "I don't know if they're willing to share those, Pharynx." King Thorax replied, "Why is there shaking in your voice? You scared?" Pharynx asked, "Well, um... there are some scary looking creatures in that place." King Thorax replied, "Anyway, I personally don't like the agreement, but I'm just going to have to go with it." Pharynx said, and they got on with their days. General Seaspray went to go see the hippogriffs and seaponies and talked about their deal, "So, let me get this straight, we will give them our pearls from under the water while they will give us their trumpets in exchange." Sky Beak said, "Yes, that was the deal we managed to work out." General Seaspray replied, "What was it like in there?" Terramar asked, "Nothing special, they have entertainers, tournaments, schools, doctors, and so on, but one thing that set it apart is the ruler has assassins." General Seaspray replied, "What? Why does he have those for?" Ocean Flow asked, "The ruler said it is so he can hunt down criminals who escape the kingdom." General Seaspray replied, "Do you think he was telling the truth?" Sky Beak asked, "He sounded honest when he said it." General Seaspray replied, "I'm still not comfortable with him having assassins." Ocean Flow said, "Neither am I, but it's the best we can do for now, I'll try to renegotiate if the deal ends up unsatisfactory." General Seaspray replied, and the hippogriffs and seaponies got on with their days. The male kirin was in Kirin Grove and talked to Rain Shine, "Alright, so let me get this straight, they will give us their books and plays for us to read while we give them some of our plants and flowers." Rain Shine said, "Yes." the male kirin replied, "That doesn't sound too bad to me." Autumn Blaze said, "I agree, I think it's a pretty fair trade off." Rain Shine replied, "The kingdom had some pretty scary looking people in it." the male kirin said, "I figured, I saw the tour guide." Rain Shine replied, "I know, right, he's all covered in scars, wearing black clothes, and has a knife, no tour guide around this world looks like that." Autumn Blaze said, "Well, he did say he does more jobs than just tour guide." the male kirin replied, "Like what?" Autumn Blaze asked, "He said he also does bodyguard work." the male kirin replied, "Well, you did good, I think we're going to have a good relationship." Rain Shine said, and the male kirin headed home. Two days passed and there were no problems so far, the countries did trade while the females watched them, Sunset Shimmer arrived yesterday after Twilight Sparkle gave her a message about the new place. Volvox was looking for his sister's kingdom around the world while the Count of Saint Germain went into the future to see when it would be found again, a portal opened and he returned, "Well?" Volvox asked, "Two weeks from now, we'll find her to the northeast with some help from two of the flying horses from that country there, and tomorrow, criminals will break out and escape the kingdom, we're going to have to send our assassins and they will succeed in stopping them, but ten criminals will escape to the other countries, so we will have to hire Duke, and starting right around now, the foreigners will contact you." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Excuse us, Emperor Volvox." Spike said from outside, he walked out of his palace and made himself bigger with his powers, he saw the ambassadors standing at his kingdom's doorway, "We need ambassadors from your kingdom in our countries as well." Shining Armor said, "Alright, give me a minute, I'll get the seven ambassadors ready." Volvox said, "Actually, the Crystal Empire is separate from Equestria, so you'll need two ambassadors for the ponies." Sunburst said, "I request two ambassadors as well, one for the hippogriffs and one for the seaponies." General Seaspray said, "Alright, hold on, I'll choose the ambassadors shortly." Volvox replied, and he looked at the countries to see what they were like, "Excuse me a minute." Volvox said, and he shrunk himself to be smaller, "Tom, can you get Nosferatu Zodd and Grunbeld here?" Volvox asked, Tom nodded and left, he came back with the two, "How would you two like to travel the world around here?" Volvox asked, "I have no interest in politics, I live only for battle." Nosferatu Zodd replied, "As do I, diplomacy is not for me." Grunbeld said, "Actually, I was wondering if you two would've liked to travel the countries to look for strong opponents." Volvox said, "No, these creatures look weak." Nosferatu Zodd replied, "Indeed, one hit from my hammer will likely smash them." Grunbeld said, "Well, it was worth a try, I thought you two would at least be interested in seeing the dragons." Volvox said, "Only that big dragon there looks like a worthy opponent." Grunbeld replied, "I agree, those dragon scales don't look like they'd stand a chance against my sword and axe." Nosferatu Zodd said, "Alright then, go on, I'll find other ambassadors." Volvox said, "We'll be fighting in the tournament if you need us." Grunbeld said, and the two left. Volvox discussed with others to act as ambassadors and went outside, "Okay, everyone, here are your ambassadors." Volvox said, and they walked out, "Alright, this way, guys." King Thorax said, and they led them to their countries, "Hey, Volvox, alright if I go, too?" Gene asked, "For what?" Volvox asked, "Look for a job." Gene replied, "Oh, sure, go on." Volvox said, and Gene left the kingdom and went to Griffonstone, "What's next?" Volvox asked, "That's all for now." Dommiel replied, and Volvox sighed while he looked for his sister's kingdom. The creatures looked at the ambassadors that Volvox sent for their countries, Equestria's ambassador was a vampire, the Crystal Empire's ambassador was a golem, the Dragon Land's ambassador was a mutant, Griffonstone's ambassador was a centaur, Yakyakistan's ambassador was a troll, the changeling kingdom's ambassador was an incubus, Mount Aris' ambassador was a fairy, Seaquestria's ambassador was a merman, and Kirin Grove's ambassador was an elf, Volvox watched them and saw they were all getting along overall, but the female changelings were a little uncomfortable around the incubus, "Alright, that should do for now." Volvox said, and he shrunk himself, "Assassins, get in here." Volvox said, and Plissken, Mr. X, Birkin, Nemesis, Pinhead, Candyman, and Leilong walked to him, "The Count of Saint Germain said some criminals are going to break out tomorrow and escape the kingdom, you all will need to hunt them down." Volvox said, "What criminals?" Plissken asked, "The ones locked in the dungeon, I saw them escaping in the future." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "They're still there now, aren't they? Why don't we kill them now?" Leilong asked, Volvox, Dommiel, and the Count of Saint Germain became speechless, "Alright, let's go ahead and round them up, and be careful, one of them is an apostle." the Count of Saint Germain replied, and they went with him. The prisoners in the dungeon were busy working to dig a hole and escape, they were being led by an apostle named Wyald, "Get digging, we'll be able to enjoy ourselves when we leave." Wyald said, and the men kept digging quickly and frantically, Wyald became bored and killed a few of the prisoners by smashing their heads with his hands, the remaining prisoners began digging faster out of fear for their lives. The dungeon's entrance opened and running was heard while Mr. X's footsteps echoed throughout the prison, the Count of Saint Germain ran to them, "There they are right there." the Count of Saint Germain said, and hooks and chains came up and cut the prisoners apart, a prisoner screamed as he got cut in his back and Candyman was behind him, Plissken ran to them and began shooting at them with a rifle while Birkin swung his arms around and slashed whoever was near him, "Hurry! Dig!" Wyald said, and they did. Rocket thrusters were heard and Leilong flew forward while holding a sword, he slashed the prisoners who tried to fight back, Wyald pulled a chunk of the wall out and threw it at Leilong, he activated a light shield with a device on his left wrist and blocked it. A tentacle went forward and stabbed several prisoners and they screamed, Wyald looked and saw Nemesis running around and he punched whichever prisoner was nearby, he also hit several prisoners with his rocket launcher, Wyald quickly dug out the wall and headed outside, several prisoners were heard screaming and the others looked back and saw Mr. X punching whoever tried to escape, the assassins killed whoever tried to escape and then headed outside. The kingdom was peaceful for today until the ground burst open and people ran back, Wyald broke out and so did several other prisoners, the people ran away from Wyald while he begun chasing after people he could kill, the angels and demons tried to fight him but he killed them easily, the centaurs also tried to fight him but Wyald threw them around. Dommiel made his own shadow bigger and tried to smash Wyald, he held him back and Volvox shot orange hellfire blasts out of his front feet at Wyald, he grunted from it and began running around, he attacked whoever was in his way and put holes in the walls around the kingdom. The other creatures looked on and saw the kingdom's walls get destroyed and the natives thrown out, they saw Wyald causing trouble, Pinhead makes chains and hooks come out of the ground and restrain Wyald, "You seek the deepest of experiences, submit to me, Wyald, and I shall give you what you desire, like your fellow prisoners here." Pinhead said and he showed the prisoners he has changed into cenobites, the other creatures in the other countries screamed in horror at how they looked, Wyald growled and punched the cenobites away. Bees appeared around Wyald and they begun to sting him, he saw Candyman to his left and he took off his coat and revealed his body and the bees inside of him, the creatures of the other countries gagged and turned away while Fluttershy looked at him with shock. Candyman cut Wyald's back with his hook but Wyald grabbed his head and began to squeeze it, "It's you, you're the reason why I got locked up in jail." Wyald said, and he tried to smash Candyman's head, but he disappeared and more bees appeared and stung Wyald. Plissken shot at him with his gun and Wyald shrugged off the bullets, Mr. X walked to him and tried to punch him, Wyald grabbed his fist and threw him over himself, Mr. X laid on the ground to recover, Birkin jumped to him and tried to slash him with his four arms, Wyald punched the eyeball in his right upper arm and Birkin screeched in pain, Leilong shot several bullets at him with his gun and Wyald lunged towards him, Leilong used his rocket thrusters to fly back, "You always were a big dumb monkey, Wyald." Leilong said, Wyald looked around and mines beeped, they exploded and Wyald screamed, he fell but soon got back up, he roared but a missile soon hit him and he screamed, everycreature looked and saw Nemesis holding a rocket launcher. The assassins looked on to make sure Wyald was dead, but he stood back up and tried one final lunge at Leilong, he held out a whip-like weapon and it detached itself from the handle while Leilong flew to the side and went behind him, Wyald got tied up with the weapon and it exploded, he screamed from the explosion, "That does it!" Wyald said, he stood up and transformed into an ape-like creature, the citizens screamed, "Apostle!" a human said as they ran away. Wyald pulled a tree out of its roots and swung it around, people who got hit by it were flung away. Plissken tried shooting him with his gun and Wyald blocked it with the tree, more chains and hooks came out of the ground and they stabbed into Wyald's arms, he grunted as he tried to move them and Mr. X punched the tree and broke it, "Hey, ugly!" Gene said from Griffonstone, Wyald looked back and Gene took off his coat and shot missiles at him, Wyald growled and picked up a house and threw it at him, Gene ran and dodged it, he then took out a rocket launcher and shot it at Wyald, the smoke cleared and Wyald was still unharmed, he laughed at him, "Oh, yeah, laugh at this." Gene said as he took out his caster gun and fired a shell at him, it hit him and exploded while Wyald screamed. Gene looked and saw Wyald on his knees, Volvox got ready to kill him but Wyald quickly recovered and hit people away with his large hands, his assassins were flung away and Wyald laughed as he began causing destruction around the kingdom, he stopped when he saw Nosferatu Zodd and Grunbeld in front of him, "Come on, my friends, let us enjoy and excite ourselves." Wyald said, the two raised their weapons, "Wha... What are you two doing?" Wyald asked, "Following the orders of our angels, do as thou wilt." Nosferatu Zodd replied, "Yes, we have both decided long ago that you shall die if you were to ever break out." Grunbeld said, "What? You two would attack a fellow apostle?" Wyald asked, the two attacked him and Wyald quickly flung his arms around to fight back, but he screamed as Nosferatu Zodd cut his legs with his sword and battleaxe while Grunbeld smashed his feet with his war hammer, he also shot fire out of his shield at him, he roared but stopped when Candyman stabbed him in the back of his neck with his hook, "Be my victim." Candyman said, and he let Wyald fall, he quivered with fear while Grunbeld walked forward and lifted his hammer, he screamed and Grunbeld smashed his head. Volvox used his hellfire powers to burn Wyald's body while he changed to a frail old man, he saw the other countries looking at him with horror, "Volvox!" Dommiel said as he ran to him, Volvox faced him, "Some of the criminals went to the other countries while we were busy dealing with Wyald." Dommiel said, Volvox looked at his seven assassins and there were on their knees', "You guys alright?" Volvox asked, "I'm out of breath." Leilong replied, "Me too." Plissken said, he saw Mr. X, Birkin, and Nemesis resting, "You want to hunt them down, Pinhead?" Volvox asked, "Even though I serve as an assassin, killing is not my specialty, it is making them have experiences." Pinhead replied, "What about you, Candyman?" Volvox asked, "I have blood to shed elsewhere." Candyman replied, "Very well, I need a list of the escaped criminals." Volvox said, and the police began working to find info on the escaped criminals, he got a list of ten criminals that escaped, "Thank you. Duke Togo, I have a job for you." Volvox said, and Golgo 13 walked to him, "These ten criminals have escaped, we have tried both, jail time and rehab, and neither one worked, I would like for you to track down these criminals and kill them before they cause any trouble in the other countries." Volvox said, "I'll take the job." Golgo 13 said, and he walked away while everybody got on with their days. Spike was at the Castle of Friendship and knocking was heard, "Spike, we need to talk." Princess Ember said, and Spike opened the door, "Hi, Princess Ember, what is it?" Spike asked, "That deal or trade you came up with has left the dragons in the Dragon Lands very unhappy." Princess Ember replied, "It was the best thing I could come up with, though." Spike said, "Give them our gems? We're giving them our food, Spike." Princess Ember replied, "Well, what else could I give them?" Spike asked, "Rocks created from our volcanoes, that could've been better." Princess Ember replied, "Alright, but what do you dragons think about them giving you guys armor?" Spike asked, "It's alright, we just need to stop giving them our food so the dragons don't go hungry." Princess Ember replied, "Alright, but what do I tell them?" Spike asked, "*sigh* Just tell them we'll have a famine eventually if we continue giving them gems." Princess Ember replied, "Okay, I don't know if they'll buy it, though." Spike said, "Well, there are several creatures at his kingdom right now, so now might be a good time to go." Princess Ember replied, and Spike flew to the kingdom. Volvox was looking outside his kingdom since Shining Armor, Sunburst, and King Thorax were there, "You send your people to kill criminals who escape your country?" Shining Armor asked, "What's wrong with that?" Volvox asked, "Everything! Don't you forgive and befriend your enemies?" Sunburst asked, "Guys, trust me, that primitive ape is the last guy you'd want to befriend." Volvox replied, "Have you ever thought about forgiving them at least?" King Thorax asked, "That depends on what they say to the counselors and their own behavior." Volvox replied, "Wait, you offer counseling?" Sunburst asked, "Yes, I have rehab, too." Volvox replied, "Then why don't you try to forgive those criminals who escaped from your country?" Shining Armor asked, "Already did, didn't work, they have no regrets, either." Volvox replied, "How do you know that?" Shining Armor asked, "Sometimes, you can tell by what they say and how they act." Volvox replied, "Well, you should at least change your ways a bit, Emperor Volvox, no country here does execution." King Thorax said, "Are you three here by your own accord or are the females using you to speak to me?" Volvox asked, "Well... it's kind of both." Shining Armor replied, "Yeah, all of us agreed that we needed to address your ways with dealing with criminals." Sunburst said, "Is that all?" Volvox asked, "Well, for now." King Thorax replied, "Alright, I'll see what I can do." Volvox said, and Shining Armor, Sunburst, and King Thorax headed home, "What do you have to say?" Volvox asked, "Um, the dragons want to change the trade a little." Spike replied, "With what?" Volvox asked, "They want to give the rocks formed by the volcanoes instead, since those gems are our food and we'll go hungry after a while." Spike replied, "Well, I did say one gem per deal." Volvox said, "Right, and we're going to starve eventually if it keeps up." Spike replied, Volvox looked at the Dragon Lands and saw hungry baby dragons, "Do those babies have any food?" Volvox asked, Spike flew up and saw the crying baby dragons, "No." Spike said, "Okay, change, it is." Volvox replied, Spike smiled and flew to the Dragon Lands and told the dragons, they cheered while Princess Ember smiled and Spike flew back to Ponyville. Gene walked around Griffonstone and looked for a job, "Hey, you guys hiring?" Gene asked, "What do you think?" a griffon asked, Gene looked and saw no one working, so he left, "Man, how can anyone get a job in this dump?" Gene asked, he saw another griffon and walked to him, "Hey, excuse me." Gene said, the griffon looked at him, "Can you show me a place that's hiring?" Gene asked, "You got the money?" the griffon asked, "Yeah, I got some money, now show me around." Gene replied, and the griffon led him to the exit, "Huh? Hey, what gives?" Gene asked, "There are no places here hiring, now take your stuff and get lost." the griffon said, "Alright, I'm going." Gene replied, "Wait, where is my money?" the griffon asked, "Relax, I'll pay you when I make it big." Gene replied, "Well, you better." the griffon said, and Gene headed to another country. Four days passed and the golems were working on rebuilding the walls around the kingdom while Volvox helped them, swords clanging were heard and everybody looked and saw Guts and Cloud fighting one another, Cloud's Buster Sword and Guts' Dragonslayer clanging against one another made really loud noises, the others looked and became shocked at seeing the Dragonslayer, "What an enormous sword." Rarity said, "I know, right, how does he swing that?" Rainbow Dash asked, the two entered a deadlock and Guts shot Cloud with his arm cannon and Cloud screamed as he got blown away, "And Guts wins again!" the announcer said while the people around the arena cheered, "His name is Guts?!" Rarity asked, "Who in tarnation names their child Guts?" Applejack asked, "Who knows, but that's sure one name I don't want." Twilight Sparkle replied, and Guts' next opponent entered the ring, it was a mutant, "Wait, are those blades coming out of its arms?" Rainbow Dash asked, "It looks like it, maybe it's hardened and sharpened bone." Sunset Shimmer said, and the mutant tried to slash Guts but Guts cut his head off with his sword, "Wow! Guts beheaded him in one move." the announcer said, the people around the ring cheered and Guts' next opponent entered the ring, it was Nosferatu Zodd, "Black Swordsman! I have waited for you." Nosferatu Zodd said, "Let's settle this once and for all, Zodd." Guts said, and Nosferatu Zodd lifted his sword and battleaxe. Guts swung the Dragonslayer around and Nosferatu Zodd blocked each attack, he swung his sword and battleaxe and each move pushed Guts back, "What is this?! Nosferatu Zodd is pushing Guts back!" the announcer said, and Guts was barely withstanding Nosferatu Zodd's attacks, "Whoa! That guy is probably even stronger than the yaks." Applejack said, "Still, I'm getting a strange sense from him, almost like... he's a monster like the guy who changed into the ape." Twilight Sparkle replied, "What was that guy called again? An apostle?" Rainbow Dash asked, "That sounds right." Fluttershy replied, "Hey, look, there's something on the back of Guts' neck." Silverstream said as she pointed at it, "Is that... a brand? What is that?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Ooh, I know, maybe he's food for somecreature and they want to eat him." Pinkie Pie said, Nosferatu Zodd continued swinging his weapons and Guts was on his knees, "For those of you unfamiliar, there is history between these two, they have engaged in combat several times." the announcer said, Guts watched Nosferatu Zodd and stepped forward while he lifted up his two weapons and slashed his abdomen, "*chuckle* Splendid, Black Swordsman." Nosferatu Zodd said, and he swung his sword and battleaxe at blinding speeds while Guts tried to repel them, but his attacks made Guts' sword fly to the side and push him back, Nosferatu Zodd got ready to swing his two weapons down, but Guts quickly slashed his sternum and he grunted from the pain, he swung his weapons from the side and Guts did a horizontal slash and broke Nosferatu Zodd's sword and battleaxe, "You're child's play now, Zodd." Guts said, Nosferatu Zodd laughed, "You know full well I've been holding back, Black Swordsman, time for me to use my full power!" Nosferatu Zodd said, and he transformed into a bipedal goat-like monster with two horns and wings, "Look at that, everybody, Nosferatu Zodd has changed into his apostle form." the announcer said, "Wow, he's kinda big." Apple Bloom said, "Yeah, it's scary." Sweetie Belle said, Nosferatu Zodd slamed his hands down and destroyed the ground, "Whoa! He smashed the entire ring!" Scootaloo said, "Yona scared." Yona said, "Yeah, me too." Smolder said, "Say, Ocellus, can you change into something like that?" Gallus asked, "I can try." Ocellus replied, Nosferatu Zodd swung his arms around and destroyed whatever he hit, Guts got ready to slash him but he stunned him with his roar, he flew to him with his wings and tried to stab Guts with his horns, he slashed Nosferatu Zodd with his sword and he screeched when Guts cut his face, he stopped flying and Guts got ready to attack him from behind, but Nosferatu Zodd hit him away with his tail, Guts grunted as he fell, he grabbed his sword as he got back up, he saw Nosferatu Zodd flying to him, he got ready to ram him but Guts cut his head with his sword and Nosferatu Zodd roared when he got hit, he stopped flying and fell to his knees while Guts panted, "Unbelievable! Guts has won!" the announcer said, the people cheered, "Splendid, Black Swordsman, I will be looking forward to our next battle." Nosferatu Zodd said, and he changed back to his human form and walked away, "Well, Guts, would you like to stop now and collect your money, or do you wish to keep fighting?" the announcer asked, "Bring out your next opponent." Guts said, "Fighting, it is." the announcer said, and a war hammer came down, Guts looked forward and became frozen in place when he saw his next opponent was Grunbeld, "We meet again, Black Swordsman, but rest first, I want to fight you at your full strength." Grunbeld said, and Guts rested, "Look at that, everybody, Grunbeld wants a fair and square fight, that's something you don't see in an apostle every day." the announcer said, "So, he's one, too." Sandbar said, "I wonder what he transforms into." Spike said, they watched and Guts recovered, "Are you ready, Guts?" the announcer asked, "Start the battle." Guts said, "Alright. Begin!" the announcer said, and Guts ran forward while Grunbeld swung his hammer down, Guts blocked it with his sword, but it knocked him back, almost made him fall, and left a big crater in the ground, the creatures watching looked on in shock, "He's even stronger?!" Scootaloo asked, "How is he supposed to win against that?!" Rainbow Dash asked, they looked and saw Guts panting while his arms were numb and he could not lift them, "You haven't improved, Black Swordsman." Grunbeld said, and he aimed his shield at him and shot fire out of it, Guts rolled and was on the ground while panting heavily, "What is this? Guts is exhausted from taking only one hit from Grunbeld, that's the strength of an apostle for you, boys." the announcer said, Grunbeld walked to him and Guts looked up, "I'm disappointed, Black Swordsman." Grunbeld said, and he got ready to hit him with his hammer. Guts activated his armor and transformed. Grunbeld was knocked back and Guts roared, "Look at that, gentlemen, Guts has activated his Berserker Armor." the announcer said, "Berserker Armor?" Applejack asked, "That doesn't sound good." Twilight Sparkle said, Guts began attacking Grunbeld relentlessly and he tried blocking with his shield, Guts destroyed it with his attacks, he made two sword blades come out of his partially intact shield but Guts hit his shield a few more times and destroyed it. Grunbeld blocked Guts' attacks with his hammer but each hit from Guts' Dragonslayer bent his hammer's handle, he destroyed it and Guts began attacking Grunbeld's armor, he grunted as Guts knocked him back, "Fine, you leave me no choice." Grunbeld said, and he transformed into his apostle form, the creatures from the other countries gasped, "He's a dragon?!" Spike asked, Grunbeld breathed fire out of his mouth, Guts was unharmed and he attacked Grunbeld's body and cracked his scales, "Wow, his scales must be tough to endure those." Starlight Glimmer said, "I must say, I do feel the urge to pick them off of him, they look very valuable." Rarity said, and Guts continued attacking Grunbeld until he changed back and fell to his knees. Guts changed back while Grunbeld panted, "And Guts wins again!" the announcer said, the crowd cheered, "Well? Who's next?" Guts asked, the other competitors ran away, "Well, look at that, Guts is the winner." the announcer said, the people clapped and cheered while Guts will given a sack full of money, he took it and walked elsewhere, "Well, it's over." Gallus said, "That was kind of scary." Ocellus said, "Come on, everycreature, let's get on with our days." Twilight Sparkle said, and they went back to Ponyville. Gene was in Ponyville and looking for work, others looked at him while he looked for places that were hiring, "What are you doing here, Gene?" Spike asked, "Just looking for work." Gene replied, "Wait, did Volvox send you away?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No, I left on my own accord." Gene replied, "Oh." Twilight Sparkle said, "You can work for me, Ah can always use extra hands on mah farm." Applejack said, "Yeah, alright." Gene replied, "No, Gene, wait a minute, you can't go around looking like that, let's get you a more suitable outfit." Rarity said, and he followed her to her shop. Rarity measured Gene's measurements and began sewing an outfit for him, "Gene, darling, I must say, your red hair is quite an attractive color, but you should cut it a bit short." Rarity said, "I'll think about it." Gene replied, and Rarity made him a bright yellow suit and black shoes, "Here you go, darling, now you're ready to get a job." Rarity said and she put it in a bag and gave it to him, "Okay, thanks." Gene said, "Nuh-uh-uh, my payment." Rarity said, "Oh, um, can it wait?" Gene asked, "No, I demand payment now, Gene." Rarity replied, "Don't worry, I'll pay you when I make it big." Gene said, "No, you most definitely will not, you're paying now." Rarity replied, "Wait, what?" Gene asked, "I have heard that excuse a million times, you are not going to skip out on your payment." Rarity replied, "Fine, do you accept wongs?" Gene asked, "Wongs? I take bits." Rarity replied, "Well, I don't have bits." Gene said, and he showed her his money, "Hmm, I'll take it, maybe I can convert this into my currency." Rarity said, and she took it while Gene pumped his fist, "Well, that's all, good luck on getting a job now." Rarity said, and Gene headed out. Gene headed outside and saw Applejack at her farm, he sighed and went there, "Ya here to work?" Applejack asked, "Yeah." Gene replied, "Alright, Ah'll show ya around." Applejack said, and Gene started his new job. Golgo 13 was in Griffonstone and found three criminals that he was assigned to kill, they were a golem, a werewolf, and a demon, he watched their movements and analyzed them all day to see what they did for their days, the three met up in an abandoned house and Golgo 13 got into position, he aimed his customized M16, he fired the first shot and the bullet went through the wall of the house and he hit the golem in his head, the two looked at him and the werewolf got shot in his head, the demon looked and one last shot was fired and he was hit in the head. Golgo 13 stopped aiming while he watched his last target fall over, he walked to the train station while the griffons looked at him, the train came and he boarded it, he sat and waited for the train to head to its destination, the train arrived into Appleloosa and Golgo 13 got off and began tracking down his next target. Three days passed and nothing of interest happened, Volvox looked around to try to find his sister's kingdom but could not, "Um, excuse us, Volvox." a female voice said, he looked and saw Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, "Sorry we're here, but your usual ambassadors are unavailable right now, they're wondering why you've been looking around a bit for these past few days." Princess Celestia said, "I'm looking for my sister's kingdom." Volvox replied, "Is it okay if we help?" Princess Celestia asked, "Sure, I can use a helping hand." Volvox replied, "You're not going to deny us because of our gender?" Princess Luna asked, "Your gender is not of importance, you just can't enter the kingdom." Volvox replied, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna smiled, the two flew up and helped him look for his sister's kingdom. Volvox kept looking around while the two princesses flew up and helped him look for his sister's kingdom, he also watched and saw the griffons moving bodies, he noticed it was three of the criminals who escaped from his kingdom, they had bullet holes in their heads, he smiled at learning the fact that Golgo 13 was already hunting them down, he looked around more and did not see his sister's kingdom anywhere, "Angels, demons, I need you all to scout." Volvox said, and they flew up, Dommiel also flew up by making black shadow wings come out of his back, "You guys see my sister's kingdom?" Volvox asked, they shook their heads, "One more week, Volvox." the Count of Saint Germain said, "I just hope I can find it before that." Volvox replied, and he watched the kingdom to make sure everybody got along. Tom was with Plissken and having a conversation, "Why did you become an assassin for, Snake?" Tom asked, "Had nothing better to do." Plissken replied, "Even though you hate the government?" Tom asked, "Look, I don't care what your government says, I only care about getting paid." Plissken replied, "This isn't like you, Snake, you usually just act on your own accord regardless of pay or reason." Tom said, "I guess I just wanted a change in my life." Plissken replied, "You can always go back to the army." Tom said, "No way, I already lost my eye in the army, I've had enough of that life." Plissken replied, "Well, go on and do what you wish, Snake, I really don't have anything to discuss with you right now." Tom said, and Plissken left, he looked and saw Big Boss conducting a training routine while Black Jack stood by to do any surgery on those who got injured, every soldier got injured and only one finished the course, "*sigh* Only HUNK passed." Big Boss said, "Again? You might as well send him on all military operations." Black Jack said, "What is my next assignment?" HUNK asked, "Nothing, rest for now, HUNK." Big Boss replied, and he did while he spoke to the injured soldiers after Black Jack finished performing surgery on them. The day passed and it was night time, Dr. Frank-N-Furter did a show and sang, the creatures of the other countries screamed at seeing his outfit while Rarity fainted; Fluttershy heard Discord singing the same song behind her, she looked and exclaimed at seeing Discord wearing the same outfit as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, he also wore a wig that resembled his hair and the same makeup Dr. Frank-N-Furter wore on his face, "Discord!" Fluttershy said, "What's the matter? Don't you like my outfit?" Discord asked, "No! That outfit is ridiculous, even for you." Fluttershy replied, "Oh, come on now, why don't you try it on?" Discord asked, "No." Fluttershy replied, "Oh, alright, there's no changing your mind." Discord said, and he made the outfit, wig, and makeup disappear, "Thank you, Discord." Fluttershy said, and the night went on and everybody went to sleep. Golgo 13 remained in Appleloosa and was watching four criminals, they were a mutant, a vampire, a centaur, and an incubus, they were discussing on what crimes to commit for their own amusement, they were also sitting in the sand and drawing pictures. Golgo 13 went to his sniping position and aimed his M16, he shot his first bullet and hit in the incubus in the head, the other three looked and Golgo 13 shot the centaur in the head while they were distracted, they looked at him and the vampire got shot in the head next, the mutant looked at where the bullets were coming from and he got shot in his forehead. Golgo 13 stopped aiming his M16 while his last target fell over dead, he proceeded to walk out of the town and look for his next target. The next day came and everything was peaceful, Volvox's ambassadors had no trouble in the other countries, the single gender kingdom continued to remain peaceful, Volvox continued to look for his sister's kingdom with help from Dommiel, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna, Giovi and Tom visited the wounded soldiers from yesterday's training regime, and the Count of Saint Germain headed to the future to see what events they will have to prepare for next. Gene worked at Sweet Apple Acres and did manual work, he plowed the field and moved heavy objects, "Hey, Gene." Apple Bloom said as she trotted to him, he faced her, "Why don'tcha work with the animals for?" Apple Bloom asked, "Animals aren't really my specialty." Gene replied, "How long have been in that kingdom there?" Apple Bloom asked, "Six years." Gene replied, "How did ya get in?" Apple Bloom asked, "I traveled into outer space with my father, we got attacked by a ship, my dad put me in an escape pod, and it landed inside that kingdom." Gene replied, "Oh, what do you do when yer not on the job?" Apple Bloom asked, "I'm usually at the bar drinking or sleeping with a girl." Gene replied, "You have a girlfriend?" Apple Bloom asked with excitement, "No, it's a different girl each time." Gene replied, "Why don't you stay with one, then?" Apple Bloom asked, "Well, let's put it this way, there's this special attraction when you first see them, but overtime, that attraction goes away, and it's not as special anymore." Gene replied, "But why do you drink and sleep with them girls for?" Apple Bloom asked, "Um, it's kind of a coping mechanism over losing my father." Gene replied, "Oh, there are better ways to cope with loss, Gene." Apple Bloom said, "Hey, I'm not all that bad, at least I didn't choose to become an apostle." Gene replied, "You mean those guys who transformed into them giant creatures?" Apple Bloom asked, "Yeah." Gene replied, "You can actually change to one?" Apple Bloom asked, "Everybody has the potential to be turned into an apostle." Gene replied, "How?" Apple Bloom asked, "There is this necklace thing they use, I forgot what it was called, they use it to summon these five guys known as the God Hand, I've never met any of them, though, anyway, in a moment of despair, they are called upon the person feeling despair, and they sacrifice their loved ones to them in exchange to becoming an apostle." Gene replied, "That's horrible." Apple Bloom said, "It is, but when I look at them, I think I was lucky I didn't become an apostle, I felt great despair when my father died, I didn't have the necklace to summon them, though, and all of my other loved ones were already dead at that time, too." Gene replied, "Well, who knows, Gene, maybe our teachings of friendship can save 'em before they turn into apostles." Apple Bloom said, "Not just apostles, everybody has the potential to become a cenobite, too." Gene replied, "How does one become a cenobite?" Apple Bloom asked, "Be a hedonist, basically." Gene replied, "Oh, so have fun and party all the time." Apple Bloom said, "Yeah, that's one way to become a cenobite." Gene replied, "I saw what them cenobites looked like when y'all dealt with that monkey man, they don't look pretty." Apple Bloom said, "Almost all cenobites look like that." Gene replied, Apple Bloom's jaw dropped, "Well, I should work a bit more, I'm a little behind schedule right now." Gene said, and Apple Bloom walked away while Gene continued to work. Golgo 13 was in Ponyville and walked around while everybody looked at him, he heard screaming above him and saw a fairy flying around and stealing things from the Pegasi in Cloudsdale, he recognized it was one of his targets, he watched him and walked slowly to follow him, he flew into a house and began looking at his possessions. Golgo 13 went onto the roof of somepony's house and watched the fairy, he aimed his M16 at the cloud house he was in and the fairy heard the gun cock, he quickly flew out and went behind a building. Golgo 13 continued aiming his gun and waited a little, the fairy began to fly to his left as fast as he could, Golgo 13 quickly adjusted where he was aiming at and shot a bullet, it pierced through the clouds in the sky and left holes in them, the bullet traveled through the air and the others watched and saw the fairy continuing to fly in the direction he was going, the bullet pierced through the last cloud and hit the fairy in the head and he fell. The ponies in Ponyville gasped at seeing that Golgo 13 hit his target, he got off the roof and walked out of town to look for his next target, "What do you guys think of him?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Honestly, he kinda scares me." Applejack replied, "I get a bit scared seeing him, too." Twilight Sparkle said, "Hey, he's already leaving." Rainbow Dash said, and Golgo 13 boarded the train and left. Twilight Sparkle flew up and saw four dead bodies on Appleloosa, she became speechless that Golgo 13 was already killing them since there was no news about it, she looked at Canterlot and saw the ambassador from Volvox's kingdom was meeting with the royal guards, she flew back down and met with her friends, "It doesn't seem the ambassadors are hiding the assassinations." Twilight Sparkle said, "You think maybe they don't know yet?" Rarity asked, "That's possible, I mean, there are four deceased people there in Appleloosa, and they're not making a deal about it." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, it is foreign business, Twilight, that kingdom over there will have to handle it." Rarity said, "I know, but still." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she flew up and watched Volvox's kingdom. Two days passed and everything was still peaceful, Golgo 13 was in the Dragon Lands, he watched his target through the scope of his M16, it was an orc, and he was on the mountain Canterlot was built on, he watched closely and the orc took out a bow and arrow and aimed it at Princess Celestia while she walked around comfortably, the orc got ready to fire and Golgo 13 shot a bullet, it traveled through the air quickly and headed to the orc, it hit him in the back of his head and he grunted. Princess Celestia and the other ponies in Canterlot looked and saw the dead orc fall off of the mountain, they then heard cheering and looked, the ponies of Canterlot gasped while Princess Celestia exclaimed with shock at seeing Golgo 13 in the Dragon Lands, he stopped aiming his M16 while the dragons continued to cheer, he walked out of the country and to the train while Princess Celestia stood there speechless and mouth wide open at how far Golgo 13 was able to hit his targets, he waited for the train to come and he boarded it when it arrived. Volvox continued looking for his sister's kingdom and he stopped for a moment when he heard loud clashing at the tournament ring, he looked and saw the opponents were Nemesis and Grunbeld, Plissken, Mr. X, Birkin, Pinhead, Candyman, Leilong, Guts, Nosferatu Zodd, Big Boss, and HUNK were among the many people in the crowd. Nemesis fired his rocket launcher and Grunbeld blocked it with his shield, while Grunbeld did block the missile, it still cracked his shield a little. Grunbeld lifted his hammer and tried to hit Nemesis, he got hit but it did not knock him down, Nemesis tried to shoot a tentacle out of his right hand and into Grunbeld's face, he made the two sword blades come out of his shield to sever the tentacle, he then made the blades retract and shot fire out of his shield at Nemesis and set him on fire, it did nothing to him and Nemesis shot another rocket at him, it hit Grunbeld's armor and he grunted as he got pushed back a little, he loaded the next rocket into his rocket launcher while Grunbeld got back onto his feet, he got ready to hit Nemesis with his hammer and Nemesis quickly hit him with his rocket launcher, it only put a crack in his armor, the hammer came down and hit Nemesis, he grunted as he fell over, "Impressive, next opponent." Grunbeld said, and the tournament continued while Volvox went back to looking for his sister's kingdom, he looked around the world and saw a dead orc in Canterlot, he realized Golgo 13 was almost done with his job, he went back to looking for his sister's kingdom and still saw her nowhere, he sighed and decided to take a break and watch the tournament, he saw a taxi was now in the crowd and noticed Travis was now watching the tournament as well, he, along with Dommiel, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, and Tom went to go watch the tournament and enjoyed what they were seeing. The next day came and Golgo 13 saw his last target was in Yakyakistan, it was a troll, he looked for the troll ambassador and noticed the two looked completely different, he watched his target's move and aimed his M16, he could not get a good view due to all the mountains being in the way, so he boarded the train and got off at Mt. Aris, he walked to the top of the mountain and the hippogriffs watched him, he stood on the top of Mt. Aris and aimed his M16, he saw his target was already stealing things from the yaks, the troll counted the money he stolen and Golgo 13 shot a bullet at his last target while he was distracted. The bullet flew through the air and pierced through the clouds, the bullet travled through the countries and cities across Equestria as it made its way to its target, the bullet flew past Appleloosa, the Everfree Forest, Ponyville, Cloudsdale, Canterlot, and to the west of the Crystal Empire, the bullet made its way into Yakyakistan and hit the troll in his head. The troll fell from the mountain and the yaks gasped, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence saw the troll fall and Princess Cadence flew up to see where the bullet came from, so did the Pegasi in Cloudsdale, the ohters looked back and gasped while Pinkie Pie screamed with shock, they all saw Golgo 13 in Mt. Aris with his gun, he began to walk away while everycreature looked at him shocked and speechless at how far he was able to hit his targets from, he walked to his home kingdom and Dommiel flew over to pick him up. Dommiel flew to Volvox and he gave Golgo 13 three million dollars, "Good work, Duke, I think you managed to stop our relationships from souring." Volvox said, and Golgo 13 walked away, "You do know we can't call for his services ever again, right?" Dommiel asked, "I'll think of something." Volvox replied, and Golgo 13 walked to the taxi and Travis drove him home, "Destination." Travis said, "I'll tell you where to drop me off." Golgo 13 replied, "I can drive you to your house if you want to." Travis said, "No, it's fine, I'll walk the last parts on my own." Golgo 13 replied, and Travis drove the taxi while playing jazz music in the car, Golgo 13 gave him the directions and he stopped at where Golgo 13 told him to, Golgo 13 paid him and got off and walked home while Travis drove away. Three days passed and Princess Celestia and Princess Luna continued helping Volvox look for his sister, "Excuse us, Emperor Volvox." Sunburst said, Volvox looked down and saw him and Spike, "We'd like for the apostles to come with us." Spike said, "For what?" Volvox asked, "It's my best friend, she's a counselor, she wants to speak with the apostles." Sunburst replied, "Might as well, Grunbeld." Nosferatu Zodd said, "I agree, let's get this over with." Grunbeld replied, and the two walked to them, "You should go, too, Guts." Volvox said, and he went with them, the three arrived at the two and Sunburst teleported them to the School of Friendship and they entered. Gene was sitting in Starlight Glimmer's office while the Mane Six stood by, the door opened and Spike and Sunburst entered with Nosferatu Zodd, Grunbeld, and Guts, "You're an apostle, too?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "No, I used to hunt them, I was told to come along." Guts replied, "Alright, sit, all of you." Starlight Glimmer said, and they did, "Gene here told one of the foals about apostles, and she told others about it, so we know how one becomes one, I would like to know what brought you two to feel such despair to become apostles." Starlight Glimmer said, "I... was betrayed and spared my loved ones from a cruel fate." Grunbeld replied, "What about you, Zodd?" Starlight Glimmer asked, Nosferatu Zodd continued looking back, "It's been so long, I don't remember." Nosferatu Zodd said, "Are you really that old, Zodd?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "I may not look like it, but I've been an apostle for three hundred years." Nosferatu Zodd replied, "Wait, three hundred years?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Apostles are immortal once when someone becomes one." Guts said, "Also, Gene mentioned something about needing some kind of necklace to turn into one." Starlight Glimmer said, "A behelit." Guts said, "Oh, that's what they were called." Gene said, "Don't you have one?" Nosferatu Zodd asked, "It's in my satchel." Guts replied, "I would like to see it." Starlight Glimmer said, "Puck." Guts said, Puck peeked out of the satchel, "Yeah." Puck said, "Show her the behelit." Guts said, and Puck flew out while holding the behelit, Starlight Glimmer used her telekinesis to move it toward herself and she and her friends looked at it, "What in tarnation?" Applejack asked, "I'm with you, Applejack, I've never seen or heard of anything like this." Twilight Sparkle said, "Um... can you explain why the facial features are misaligned?" Fluttershy asked, "All behelits are like that, when activated, the facial features will align themselves." Guts replied, "How does one activate it?" Spike asked, "Someone's blood has to touch it." Grunbeld replied, the Mane Six, Spike, and Sunburst looked on with discomfort, "Where did you get this, Guts?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "When I was going on my quest of revenge to kill all apostles, one of them had this with him, so I took it." Guts replied, "I see, but tell me, haven't you guys ever thought about trying to befriend someone thinking about becoming an apostle?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "I tried to stop my best friend from becoming one, but he decided his dream was more important, so me and his other friends were sacrificed and he became an apostle, I managed to escape death with help from someone." Guts replied, "I still think I would've became an apostle if I had a behelit and somebody else I loved besides my father after his death." Gene said, "Well, if you guys would like to, Spike and Sunburst can spread our teachings of friendship to your kingdom." Starlight Glimmer replied, "Why?" Nosferatu Zodd asked, "So no one will become an apostle, so their despair won't consume them and they won't sacrifice the lives of their loved ones, nocreature deserves that." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Yeah, and I can throw parties and cheer them up with singing." Pinkie Pie said, "Sounds like you have a new companion, Guts." Puck said, "I'm fine on my own." Guts replied, "Who were they sacrificed to again?" Rainbow Dash asked, "The God Hand." Guts replied, "Who are they?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Our angels, they appear in person every two hundred sixteen years." Nosferatu Zodd replied, "Every two sixteen years? We won't be alive by that time." Rarity said, "Wait, hold on, Rarity. When was the last time they appeared?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Two years ago." Nosferatu Zodd replied, the ponies and Spike became speechless, "Yeah, we'll be gone by then." Sunburst said, "I won't." Spike replied, "Me neither, but we can at least write down notes about them. What are they like?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "There are five members, Void, Slan, Ubik, Conrad, and Femto, Femto was my former best friend, his real name is Griffith, he is the most recent member." Guts replied, "Do they have a leadership or anything?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Void is the leader." Grunbeld replied, "Alright, so, um... why are they your leaders?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "They are the strongest of apostles." Nosferatu Zodd replied, "What are they capable of?" Applejack asked, "Femto has complete control over gravity and space, he can also send this invisible force that destroys one's physical body that leaves no trace of them behind." Guts replied, the ponies and Spike became uncomfortable, "What about the others?" Fluttershy asked, "Conrad spreads the plague and sicknesses around, he can also transmutate items." Nosferatu Zodd replied, "That's not bad, I'm sure some spells of mine can fix those." Twilight Sparkle said, "Ubik is not much of a fighter, he prefers to give out speeches that breaks one mentally." Nosferatu Zodd replied, "That's fine, I'm sure a little talk to raise one's spirits will help them decide otherwise." Twilight Sparkle said, "That's the thing, the speeches Ubik gives to break one's spirit are always accurate so you can't deny that he's lying." Grunbeld replied, "So he's basically a twisted version of the Element of Honesty, Ah guess the only way to counter him is to remind one of their good deeds and how much everybody loves them." Applejack said, "What is Slan like?" Rarity asked, "Well... Slan is like a succubus, she's like someone who will interfere with your relationship with someone and ruin them, she can manifest herself in the world as well." Guts replied, "Oh, how rude, there will be no one standing between me and my special stallion." Rarity said, "There's more, she also enjoys inflicting and receiving pain." Guts replied, the ponies and Spike became uncomfortable again, "And Void?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "He can open rifts in space and send your attack back to you, he and Ubik can also manipulate one's consciousness." Grunbeld replied, the Mane Six's eyes' widened, "He's also the one who marks those who are to be sacrificed and eaten by the other apostles, he put the brand on my back of my neck." Guts said, "Oh, so that's what that is, I was wondering about that mark." Twilight Sparkle replied, "It bleeds when an apostle is near me, that's what alerts me of their presence." Guts said, "Well, if you guys do encounter someone with this behelit and about to use it, you all should try to remind that person that there's no reason to give up hope, and be their friend, no dream or goal is worth sacrificing the lives of your friends and loved ones for." Starlight Glimmer said, the four remained speechless, "Is that all?" Grunbeld asked, "Well, pretty much, I was hoping you two were going to open up about the despair that caused you guys to become apostles." Starlight Glimmer replied, "I already said mine." Grunbeld said, "Do you regret becoming an apostle?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "A little." Grunbeld replied, "And you, Zodd?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Somewhat." Nosferatu Zodd replied, "What is it you two regret?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Not finding strong and challenging opponents." Nosferatu Zodd replied, "What?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Zodd and I live only for battle, our strengths as apostles have left us unable to find worthy opponents, since we tend to kill our opponents in one hit." Grunbeld replied, "You guys don't regret the loved ones you sacrificed?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "I don't think about it." Grunbeld replied, "Me neither." Nosferatu Zodd said, Starlight Glimmer became speechless, "Well, I don't know what to say about that, so you two may leave." Starlight Glimmer said and the two left, "Now Guts, we need the behelit for a minute, so can you come with us? Spike already sent a letter to Princess Celestia about the apostles." Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright." Guts replied, "Okay, Gene, let's talk, let's start at when you arrived into the kingdom after you father put you in that escape pod." Starlight Glimmer said, and Guts went outside with the others and they headed to Canterlot while Sunburst went to the Crystal Empire. Guts arrived into Canterlot and he and the six mares and Spike went to go see Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, "We're here, Princess Celestia." Twilight Sparkle said, "Oh, good, I'd like to see the behelit." Princess Celestia said, and Puck flew out of Guts' satchel and showed it to her, "My, I've never seen anything like it." Princess Celestia said, "Do you two know about the God Hand?" Guts asked, "No, in our lives of over a thousand years, we have never heard of them." Princess Celestia replied, "Well, maybe it's because me and a lot of those people in that kingdom are from different dimensions." Guts said, "Different dimensions? Wait, that would actually make sense." Twilight Sparkle said, "Even then, we have interdimensional travel as well, we should've been able to enter the God Hand's realm as well." Princess Luna said, "I assume you were already informed about the apostles." Guts said, "Yes, I was, I was already informed on how one becomes an apostle as well." Princess Celestia replied, "I saw the report, too, it brings back bad memories of when I became Nightmare Moon." Princess Luna said, "So, you gave in to despair, too?" Guts asked, "Well, it was mostly jealousy that changed me." Princess Luna replied, "Well, I am done, here is your behelit back." Princess Celestia said as she gave it back to Puck, "I ask you kindly to give any behelits you find to me, I have an area in my castle to seal away such artifacts." Princess Celestia said, "I may not be even close to this place when I find the next apostle." Guts replied, "That is why I wish to create a magical web of contacting others around the world for this." Princess Celestia said, "Why?" Guts asked, "So we can stop people from turning into apostles, we need to let them know that there is hope and help, and to be honest with you, if I had a behelit at the time I sealed away Luna into the moon, I probably would have became an apostle myself." Princess Celestia replied, "Am I done here?" Guts asked, "Well, yes, I just wanted to see the behelit." Princess Celestia replied, "Come on, Puck." Guts said, and Puck flew into his satchel and the two headed back to the kingdom, "Tell me, Princess Celestia, what do you think about that kingdom?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Well, they're not bad, but I am a bit frustrated over the fact that I have no say in politics or trade with them." Princess Celestia replied, "It's not just us, Cadence has been very frustrated as well." Princess Luna said, "Yeah, me too." Twilight Sparkle said, "And I was going to represent you guys, but i have to do the Dragon Lands instead since they didn't send anyone." Spike said, "Well, it ain't all that bad." Applejack said, "Yeah, I mean, the ruler is reasonable." Rainbow Dash said, "True, but you all should go, Luna and I have to get on with our days." Princess Celestia replied, and they left while Princess Celestia and Princess Luna continued with their days. A few hours passed and Volvox continued looking for his sister with help from Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, "Excuse me, Emperor Volvox." Princess Celestia said as she flew to him, "I think I see a kingdom far away over there." Princess Celestia said as she pointed towards Griffonstone, Volvox shrunk himself and used his telekinesis to fly and went up higher, he saw a land behind Griffonstone, so he flew to it. Volvox flew to the land and he saw his sister, he kept flying forward and she noticed him, "Volvox?" Volvox's sister asked, Volvox flew forward and grew himself up to regular size, "I finally found you." Volvox said, "I was looking for you, too, I was worried." Volvox's sister replied, "You been alright?" Volvox asked, "Yeah, we actually had no problems here." Volvox's sister replied, "Good, I'm in an area surrounded by many other countries." Volvox said, "Really? Has there been any problems for you?" Volvox's sister asked, "I had criminals escape into them, but an assassin I hired managed to stop them before they did any serious damage." Volvox replied, "Good, well, why don't you move your kingdom here?" Volvox's sister asked, "Well, um... I already have ambassadors in the other countries." Volvox replied, "Oh, really? Well, gather your people around, and have them decide whether they want to come here with us, if not, I'll move there instead." Volvox's sister said, Volvox nodded and he shrunk himself and used telekinesis on himself to fly back to his kingdom. Volvox arrived back at his kingdom and he changed himself back to his regular size, "All of my citizens, I need you here." Volvox said, and everybody from his kingdom went to him, "I have found my sister's kingdom, but we have a choice, either you all can stay here and have her move kingdom here, or decide you don't like this place and move ourselves towards her kingdom instead." Volvox said, the other countries disagreed, "Well, truth be told, the changeling kingdom kind of grew on me." the changeling kingdom's ambassador said, "Me too, I'm kind of enjoying the country I'm in." Yakyakistan's ambassador said, "What about the rest of you ambassadors?" Volvox asked, "Kind of." Kirin Grove's ambassador said, "Me too." Seaquestria's ambassador said, "Yup." Mt. Aris' ambassador said, "I'm having fun, too." the Crystal Empire's ambassador said, "So am I." Equestria's ambassador said, "The country I'm in is alright." Griffonstone's ambassador said, "Yeah, I'm okay where I'm at, too." the Dragon Land's ambassador said, "How about you, Gene?" Volvox asked, "Well, I did find a job, and it's not too bad." Gene replied, "You actually found a job?" Leilong asked, "Yup, farm work." Gene replied, "Farm work? That isn't like you, you tend to take jobs that have big risks and big rewards." Leilong said, "Well, the job was given to me for free." Gene replied, "Well, Gene, do you want to keep your job or stop it?" Volvox asked, Gene thought about his decision, "Yeah, alright, I'll keep it." Gene said, "Excuse me a minute." Volvox said, and he shrunk himself and used telekinesis on himself to fly. Volvox's sister watched her kingdom and she saw her brother coming, "They decided, they want to stay there." Volvox said, "Alright, I'll move my kingdom to where you're at." Volvox's sister replied, and she shrunk herself and used telekinesis on herself to fly and saw Volvox's kingdom, she flew back down and used telekinesis on her own kingdom and moved it while Volvox flew back to his kingdom. Volvox arrived back while his sister's kingdom arrived, it landed to the east of Volvox's kingdom, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack headed there along with Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream, Autumn Blaze trotted over the water and joined them, "You too, Autumn Blaze?" Fluttershy asked, "Yup, Rain Shine wants me to report back what I find." Autumn Blaze replied, flying was heard and Gabby came, "Hi, am I late?" Gabby asked, "Nope, you're just in time." Pinkie Pie replied, "Great." Gabby said, and she landed, a green light scanned them and the double doors opened and they entered. The Mane Six, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, Silverstream, Gabby, and Autumn Blaze walked around and looked at the place, "Wait a minute, this place looks almost just like the male kingdom." Rainbow Dash said, "Now that ya mention it, it does." Applejack replied, "Hey, sorry I'm late." a female demon said as she ran to them, "Who are you?" Gabby asked, "I'm your tour guide." the demon replied, "Oh, thanks, show us around." Twilight Sparkle said, "This way." the demon said, and they followed her. The demon showed the foreign creatures around the kingdom, "See that there, that's where the artists and entertainers work." the demon said, the girls looked and saw the kingdom had the exact same forms of art and entertainment as the male kingdom, "I must say, some of those dresses could use some extra work." Rarity said, "Well, we have different creatures, and each one has different tastes in culture and entertainment." the demon replied, and she showed them around some more, "That's the tournament right there." the demon said as she pointed to it, "Fireball!" a competitor said, an explosion happened and another female screamed, "Lina Inverse wins again." the announcer said, and the females around the ring cheered, "A fire spell? You guys have magic?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the demon nodded, "What are they doing?" Rainbow Dash asked as she pointed, the demon looked and saw girls doing a training regime, "They're doing a training regime, see that human there, she's the one who trains them." the demon said, they watched the training and they decided they seen enough, "Do you guys have a taxi?" Fluttershy asked, "Sorry, but no." the demon replied, "Well, the kingdom's not that big." Ocellus said, "Do you all have a school?" Silverstream asked, "It's right there." the demon replied as she pointed to it, they saw the person voted for best teacher was Kumiko Yamaguchi, and the school's top student was Makoto Niijima, "Um, does kingdom have doctor?" Yona asked, "Over there." the demon replied as she pointed, there were several doctors working, "Um, can we meet the ruler?" Autumn Blaze asked, "Sure, follow me." the demon replied, and they followed her. The Mane Six, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, Silverstream, Gabby, and Autumn Blaze walked into the palace, "They're here." the demon said, "Hello, I am Empress Euglena, ruler of this single gender kingdom." Volvox's sister said, the visitors stood there and looked at her while speechless because she looked exactly like Volvox, "Who's the second-in-command?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I am, my name is Lilith." the demon replied, "Okay, um, where's the bodyguard?" Rainbow Dash asked, a female golem walked forward, "This is Terra, she's acts as my bodyguard, and usually my last line of defense alongside Lilith." Euglena said, Terra waved at the visitors, "Who else is here?" Gabby asked, an angel and a human came forward, "The angel here is Amser, she can travel through time and is my advisor, and the human is Tiffany, my spokesperson." Euglena said, "Hello, we were expecting visitors today." Tiffany said, "Tiffany, darling, why are you wearing a business suit?" Rarity asked, "It's for my job." Tiffany replied, "Alright, um... do you have assassins?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Just one." Euglena replied, "We'd like to meet her." Twilight Sparkle said, and the person came forward, "This is Casca, she's usually a mercenary, but she decided to serve me to make money, assassin is a job most girls in my kingdom don't want." Euglena said, "What the? You look like a boy." Smolder said, "Long hair gets in the way of battle." Casca replied, "What the? You only have one assassin?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Is something the matter?" Euglena asked, "I got reports from the males of my home country that your brother has seven assassins." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Oh, that, that's because men are more willing to do that job than women." Euglena said, "There are also less female criminals to hunt down, too." Casca said, "Do you work divided by gender?" Fluttershy asked, "No, I work with the other male assassins sometimes." Casca replied, "I sure hope they don't look at you differently because of your gender." Rarity said, "Actually, no, they treat me like an equal." Casca replied, "One more thing, Empress Euglena, do you have apostles in your kingdom?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes." Euglena replied, "Well, we are trying to spread friendship all over the world, we would like for those feeling despair and thinking about changing into an apostle to be brought to us for counseling." Twilight Sparkle said, "I'm not sure if that's going to work." Lilith said, "Well, it's worth a try." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, that is all to our kingdom, I hope you liked it." Lilith said, "Well, we did watch your brother's kingdom, this place is basically no different." Rainbow Dash replied, "We know, we watch each other's kingdom." Amser said, "Well, thank you, we'll be going back now." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all left while the girls in the kingdom waved bye at them. Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream told their respective countries what they found in the all-female kingdom and went back to Sandbar and Gallus, "Wait, so there's no difference?" Sandbar asked, "Not really, she only has one assassin and there are many more doctors, but other than that, everything is pretty much the exact same." Smolder replied, "Yeah, there's really no difference between the two." Ocellus said, "I guess there's no reason for them to separated then." Gallus said, "Yona agree." Yona replied, "Well, maybe we can get the two kingdoms to come together and we can all enter as an entire group." Silverstream said, "I hope so, it'd make visiting more fun, too." Sandbar replied, "Well, let's go, let's see how the others handle this." Ocellus said, and they went back to the School of Friendship. Three days passed and Euglena was filled in on the other countries by Volvox, so she sent ambassadors to the places, her ambassador for Equestria was a fairy, the Crystal Empire's ambassador was a troll, the Dragon Land's ambassador was a golem, Griffonstone's ambassador was an elf, Yakyakistan's ambassador was an angel, the changeling kingdom's ambassador was a dwarf, Mt. Aris' ambassador was an orc, Seaquestria's ambassador was a mermaid, and Kirin Grove's ambassador was a mutant, Euglena was also informed by Volvox about the trade system and she decided to trade the same things. Volvox's and Euglena's kingdoms were peaceful at the moment until Volvox heard a gunshot and a grunt, he looked and saw a mutant fall over with a bullet in his head, he saw Golgo 13 aiming his M16, he stopped aiming and walked to the taxi and Travis drove to where he was told to go, clangs were heard and girls were fighting in Euglena's kingdom at the tournament, "Dragon Slave!" one competitor said, and a big explosion happened, the angels used their light magic to block the attack, the smoke cleared and everybody was glaring at Lina, "Look, Lina! You just destroyed part of the kingdom." Euglena said, Lina looked and saw the areas not protected by the angels' magic were destroyed, it was mostly the walls around the kingdom, "Sorry." Lina said as she scratched the back of her head, "Get building." Euglena said, and Lina began using her magic to rebuild the walls. Volvox heard swimming and Gene arrived back into the kingdom, "You get fired?" Volvox asked, "No, I'm on break right now." Gene replied, "Oh." Volvox said, and Gene went to an outside bar and had a drink, Leilong sat beside him, "Enjoying the place?" Leilong asked, "It's alright." Gene replied, "So, what is that country with the horses like?" Leilong asked, "A little too happy for my liking, and their talks about friendship makes me a little nauseous, but now the female kingdom is here, I can sleep like a baby again." Gene replied, "You never change, Gene." Leilong said, "What do you think is going to happen next?" Gene asked, "Well, I don't know, we'll have to see how our relations with the foreign countries go." Leilong replied, and the two drank more while Volvox and Euglena watched their kingdoms. Four days passed and everything was peaceful, "Excuse us." Twilight Sparkle said, the two kingdoms saw her with Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Spike, Sunburst, Shining Armor, Sandbar, Gallus, Gabby, Gilda, King Thorax, Ocellus, Garble, Smolder, Prince Rutherford, Yona, Terramar, Silverstream, Autumn Blaze, and the male kirin, "We would like for y'all to put yer two kingdoms together." Applejack said, "Sorry, but we're doing a social experiment." Euglena replied, "Yeah, we got that, but your kingdoms kind of developed the same ways." Rainbow Dash said, "What reasons do you guys have for fusing our kingdoms together?" Volvox asked, "Well, some of us are brother and sister, and we'd like to travel your kingdoms together as a family." Terramar replied, Silverstream nodded in agreement, "Is that all?" Volvox asked, "No, I'd like to go with my wife and daughter." Shining Armor replied, "And my best friend can't come with me if I decide to see you guys." Sunburst said, "The social experiment is still going." Euglena said, "How long has it been going?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Five, ten years." Volvox replied, "Ten years sounds right." Euglena said, "I think that's long enough for results, look at your kingdoms." Twilight Sparkle said, Volvox and Euglena looked at their kingdoms and saw their kingdoms were nearly identical, "See, aside from having opposite genders, you all basically developed the same way, same interests, same jobs, same forms of entertainment, and so on, we think you two should combine your kingdoms together." Twilight Sparkle said, "Your say, Euglena, you're the one who suggested the social experiment in the first place." Volvox said, "What do my citizens say?" Euglena asked, the females did not respond, "How many say we stay the way we are?" Euglena asked, half of the kingdom raised their hands, "How many say we combine with the boys?" Euglena asked, the other half raised their hands, "How about you guys, how many want to stay apart?" Volvox asked, half of his kingdom raised their hands, "How many want to combine?" Volvox asked, the other half raised their hands, "It's a tie in my kingdom." Euglena said, "Yeah, mine too." Volvox replied, "Let's look at it this way, everyone, do you all want to have future generations?" Twilight Sparkle asked, most of the citizens in the two kingdoms agreed, "See, there's a reason right there, being divided by gender means no future for your countries if you all die out." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, you all know the rules, majority rules, the social experiment's over." Euglena said, and the creatures from the other countries cheered while Volvox and Euglena used their telekinesis to put their kingdoms together. The creatures from the other kingdoms entered together and they began exploring the newly formed land, Flurry Heart flew around the kingdom and looked at the newly formed kingdom, Princess Cadence flew to her and took her, "Careful, Flurry, you'll destroy something if you fly around like that." Princess Cadence said, and the two traveled together with Shining Armor. Rarity walked to Travis as he came out of the taxi, "Travis still has his mohawk." Sunburst said, "Travis." Rarity said as she trotted to him, he looked at her, "You can't be a taxi driver looking like that, that mohawk has got to go." Rarity said, "My hair will grow out again eventually." Travis said, "No, it'll make your hair look weird by having the center area longer than the sides, hold still now." Rarity said, and she got scissors and a shaver and cut and shaved off his mohawk, "There, now you look more professional." Rarity said, Travis looked at himself in the taxi's mirror, "It's not too bad." Travis said, and he drove away to get new customers while Rarity went to go explore elsewhere. A week passed and the natives of Volvox's and Euglena's kingdom began traveling outside, Candyman was at Fluttershy's cottage and she wanted to see his bees, "Now, Candyman, um... can I see your bees?" Fluttershy asked, Candyman opened his coat and revealed his bees, "Okay, um..., can you all make me some honey, please?" Fluttershy asked, "My bees are meant to kill, not make honey." Candyman said, "Well, let's try something new, so can I have some honey, please?" Fluttershy asked, and the bees produced some honey for her. Princess Celestia was hoof wrestling with other creatures and she won every match so far, "Next, please." Princess Celestia said, and she became a little speechless when she saw her next opponent was Grunbeld, he sat and put his arm on the table. Princess Celestia slowly lifted her leg and began to wrestle and Princess Celestia could not move Grunbeld's arm, Grunbeld then used his strength and moved Princess Celestia's leg to the end of the table and she yelped when he broke the table and her hoof got smashed into the floor, "I heard you were a goddess, I am disappointed." Grunbeld said, and he left. Princess Celestia got her hoof out of the floor and grunted as she moved it, she put a cast on and rested while she watched Princess Luna hoof wrestle in her place. Rarity was doing new fashion designs with the other creatures and was opening up to new designers, the door opened and Rarity screamed at seeing it was Dr. Frank-N-Furter, "How do you do? I am here to spread my spectacular taste in fashion to the other men here." Dr. Frank-N-Furter said, "Uh... in a minute, I think you can make some improvements." Rarity replied, and she ran around while giving him advice on how to improve his own taste in fashion. The two kingdoms began to mix together and babies were born years later, people from the other countries and native to the kingdom began going in and out of the kingdom and it thrived for years to come.
DystopiaVolvox was a being who lived on an island that was inhabited by other creatures, he ruled his own section of the island ruled over all but two creatures, they were Cerberus', Orthrus', Minotaurs, Bigfoots, Wendigos, and Onis, his two second-in-commands and scouts were his pet birds, Phoenix and Thunderbird. There were two more groups that inhabited the island, one was a gang of demons led by a demon named Dommiel, and a gang of humans led by a man named Tom, they were all fighting one another for dominance of the island. The island was originally full of life and many plants, but it has decayed through the years of war, there was now no soil to grow anything, alongside roads and buildings on fire, and those who were not a part of any faction lived in the sewers, food was also now very scarce and people have resorted to eating anything they could find, and meat produced by a man in a factory. Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom waged war against one another every night while the creatures who were not in any faction were going to try to find a new home using demon magic and human technology, everycreature felt the space and time continuum ripping and a wormhole appeared, everycreature braced for impact as they got transported elsewhere. Equestria and the the other countries were going along their days peacefully until they all felt a disturbance in the water, it was between Equestria, the Dragon Lands, and Griffonstone. White electricity appeared alongside a transparent sphere, it disappeared and everycreature gasped when they saw the place, it was completely black, the ground was nothing but roads and manholes, all of the buildings were decrepit with parts of them missing, some of them were on fire, and there were dead bodies and bones laid throughout the island. The creatures looked on with shock and disbelief at how the place looked, "That place don't look too good." Applejack stated, "It doesn't, but I'm wondering if anybody lives there." Twilight Sparkle replied, "What? You can't be serious, Twilight, who would live in such filth?" Rarity asked, "I can." Rainbow Dash remarked, Rarity glared at her, "I mean, there is a person right there." Spike spoke as he pointed to a corpse, "I don't think that person's alive, Spike." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Alright, so someone does live there, we could visit." Applejack said, "I'd rather... not go... it looks... scary." Fluttershy quivered, "Oh, relax, Fluttershy, my party will lighten things up." Pinkie Pie replied, "We still should take some precautions, the place looks very dangerous." Twilight Sparkle warned, "Ah agree, let's pack up a little first." Applejack added, and they left and put items in their saddlebags, Twilight Sparkle got books on shields and escape spells, Rainbow Dash packed her Wonderbolts training guide, Fluttershy packed a book on animals, Pinkie Pie packed her party materials, Rarity packed clothes, and Applejack packed a few apples and horseshoes, they all met again, "Is everypony ready?" Twilight Sparkle asked, they nodded, "Let's go." Twilight Sparkle ordered, and they got into her hot air balloon and headed to the new island. The Mane Six and Spike headed to the new island with the hot air balloon and they looked on in awe at how many people were there and the diversity of creatures, Volvox and his gang were in the north, northeast, and east, Dommiel and his gang were in the northwest and west, and Tom and his gang were in the southeast, southwest, and south. Twilight Sparkle moved the hot air balloon forward and everycreature saw them coming, "Intruders!" a male human hollered, "Wait, no, we're visitors." Twilight Sparkle corrected, and the demons shot dark energy at them out of their hands, the ponies and Spike screamed, "You are in demon territory, you are not welcome here." Dommiel said, "What if we don't leave?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Then die." a male demon replied, the mares and Spike became speechless, "Last warning, leave, or we shoot you down and kill you." Dommiel warned, Twilight Sparkle quickly moved the hot air balloon elsewhere. She arrived at the southern area and the humans began shooting at her hot air balloon with guns, she and her friends screamed as they ducked, "This is human territory. Begone!" Tom ordered, and she went to the northern area and a big fire breath went past her hot air balloon and almost hit it, she and her friends exclaimed, "Hey! What gives?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Get off my turf." Volvox ordered, the six mares and Spike looked on with disbelief, "Isn't there anybody welcoming here?!" Twilight Sparkle asked loudly, "Unless you are here to help us fight in the war, leave, or we will kill all seven of you and eat your corpses." a male Bigfoot threatened, the seven exclaimed and screamed as they left. Twilight Sparkle and her friends looked on at the people while they were all gearing up for their next battle, "*growl* Those people are so rude." Rarity fumed, "Ah know, right, they talkin' bout eatin' us, too." Applejack replied, "Princess Celestia will be furious if they do that, Applejack, she will likely go to war with them if they do." Twilight Sparkle said, "Still, what are they doing?" Fluttershy asked, they all looked and saw the humans loading guns and putting on armor, "Let's watch from afar, let's see how things go on that island." Twilight Sparkle ordered, and they all headed back home. Volvox and his gang were preparing for the night and got their weapons ready, "What do you think made us come to this place, Volvox?" a male Wendigo asked, "It must've been those sewer people trying something, they'll be dealt with soon." Volvox replied, and they all prepared for the night. Night time came and everycreature was ready to fight, a bell was heard ringing and a male human bringing forth meat products on a servicing tray on wheels came forward, "Get your Soylent Green products here." the man stated, and everycreature ran to him while snarling, the manholes opened and the people living in the sewers came out. The world's creatures watched with shock while Rarity exclaimed, the creatures living on the island growled and snarled as they ripped and tore the meat apart with their bare hands', they fought and killed one another for the food as well, "Oh, how barbaric." Rarity stated, and they all finished eating, "Okay, bring me all of your sick, disabled, and defected infants, and animals that can't move anymore." the man ordered, and they did, and he put them on the tray and rolled it to a building called 'Soylent Green Processing Factory', "What do y'all think is in there?" Applejack asked, "I don't know, but I'm sensing something really fishy about that place." Pinkie Pie answered, "Come on, everypony, it's getting late, we need sleep." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all went home. Everycreature except for Princess Luna slept but they were all awakened by the sound of explosions, some creatures screamed and they all looked out and saw the natives on the island fighting, Volvox and his creatures used brute force to kill their enemies while Phoenix shot fire out of his mouth and Thunderbird summoned lightning by unfolding his wings, Dommiel and his demons used their magic, and Tom and the humans used technology. Fluttershy gasped and Pinkie Pie screamed when they saw children and animals were fighting as well, one female demon child got shot in her leg and then a human ran her over with a tank, Rarity screamed while she and her friends looked away, Twilight Sparkle had tears falling out of her eyes. The fighting continued and the gunshots, explosions, growling, snarling, and screaming went on all night, Princess Cadence comforted Flurry Heart while she cried all night. The next morning came and everycreature was tired, they saw the man who gave them food again, he picked up the corpses and took them to the Soylent Green Processing Factory, the manholes opened and the people living in the sewers came out to collect some of the corpses, "Excuse us." a female Minotaur stated, the man looked at her, she gave him a baby, "This one has defects." the Minotaur said, and he took it, "Thank you for your distribution." the man stated, and he went back to the factory. Twilight Sparkle and her friends watched with disbelief at seeing the people in the sewers were all dirty, anorexic, and dressed in leather with fur, they looked and saw an anorexic puppy walking around on the roads as well, "Food!" a male demon hollered, and they all chased and ate the puppy while growling and snarling. Fluttershy gasped while looking away and crying, "Worst country ever!" Pinkie Pie declared, "You said it, Pinkie, Ah don't know how the ruler can let their country fall into such a state." Applejack replied, "Still, I wonder, who is the ruler?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Well, I'd like to have a word with them, the country's fighting has ruined my beauty sleep." Rarity fumed, "Come on, everypony, let's go see those people." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Can we come?" Sweetie Belle asked as she went to the Mane Six with Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, "I think it's best you and your friends stay here, Sweetie Belle, that country's unwelcoming and dangerous." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Yeah, they threatened to eat us when we went there yesterday." Applejack added, "Are y'all gonna be okay?" Apple Bloom asked, "Don't worry, I'm ready to fight if they attack us." Rainbow Dash declared, "But they look really strong and have magic and technology." Scootaloo reminded her, "I'll keep us safe, you three stay here with Spike." Twilight Sparkle said, and they went into her hot air balloon and went back to the country. The Mane Six went into the country again while the sewer people watched them, they landed and walked forward, "Y'all ain't gonna send us back?" Applejack asked, "Actually, we're the ones who transferred the island here." a female oni replied, "What? How come?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "Just look at this place, filled with war, no soil to grow any crops, food is scarce, everybody struggling to survive, all the buildings are about to crumble, all natural resources of our land has been used up, and all the water from where we're from is dried up and gone, if we don't find a new home, we're all going to die." a female human explained, the mares became speechless, "Wow, so um..., what are you doing in the sewers?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's the safest place for us to hide, since we are with neither of the three gangs, we have been labelled food and the gangs will try to kill us and eat us if we're spotted." a male Wendigo replied, the six mares' jaw dropped, "How did you all get here?" Rainbow Dash asked, "This way." a male human replied, and they went into the sewers. The Mane Six entered the sewers and they coughed and gagged from the stench, "Sorry about that, there's no water to wash the waste and trash away." a female human spoke, and they went down the ladder. They arrived at the bottom and they all looked away and gagged when they saw the sewers was filled with urine, feces, vomit, and trash, it was completely dry with no water in it, "How can you live in such filth?" Rarity asked, "It's not too bad, we find the things we need to survive in the trash." a male oni replied, "But still, this is disgusting." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Anyway, come on, this way, and stay with us, Volvox's, Dommiel's, and Tom's gangs are down here wandering around, they'll kill you and send you to the Soylent Green Processing Factory if you're caught." a female Wendigo warned, "What goes on in that place anyway?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Do you guys eat meat?" a male human child asked, "What? No, of course not." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Then you'll be better off not knowing." a female human child spoke, "What? Oh, come on, tell us, please?" Rainbow Dash begged, "Trust us, you don't want to know." the male human child replied, and they all walked while Twilight Sparkle used her magic to make photos of the sewers, "What are you doing, Twilight?" Rarity questioned, "I'm taking pictures with my magic, I'm going to send pictures to Princess Celestia to show what their living conditions are like." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Good idea, Twi, maybe she can improve it." Applejack stated, "Keep your voice down, the members of the gangs will hear you." a male Bigfoot warned, and they kept walking. The Mane Six followed them and looked at the sewers, it was very rusty with chipped paint falling off of the walls, "Hide." a male Orthrus child whispered, and they did, they saw dogs, wolves, other Orthrus', and Cerberus' walking around, they passed by and the creatures led the Mane Six to their hideout. Everycreature arrived at the hideout and saw many more creatures there, "Here are the visitors." a female Cerberus stated, and they walked forward, "So you're the ones who want to explore this country, you six are courageous, I'll give you that, the daytime is the safest, but you still need to be careful, the gangs still patrol the streets and buildings." a male demon spoke, "How did you get here?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the creatures got a device and the demons used their magic to create a screen, "Shortly before we came here, we're all from a place with nothing but water all around us, and then a few days before that, the water dried up, we began using our magic and technology to look for a new home, we came here just by chance." the male demon explained as they showed pictures of where they were from, all the water was gone and there nothing but the island there, "What happened to the resources?" Applejack asked, "The three gangs used it all up, those three are fighting for dominance, whoever wins will rule the island." a female demon answered, "Wait, how did the fights start?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "The three have different views on how the island should be ruled, those who joined them supported them, we're down here because we disagree with all three of them." a male oni replied, "I see, wow, I'll send the information to Princess Celestia and she'll have a word with the supreme ruler." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Wait." a male human child blurted out, "Don't worry, I'm sure after a few discussions, things will get straightened out." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she made a letter appear with her magic and wrote on it and put pictures on it with her magic and teleported it, "There, just wait a bit, things will get better soon, let's wait for Princess Celestia, everypony." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and they went back to the hot air balloon and waited. Princess Celestia was walking throughout Canterlot Castle while Princess Luna relaxed, she got a letter and opened it while Princess Luna walked to her, the two read the letter, "Dear, Princess Celestia, I have met with the people in the sewers just now, they are looking for a new home since where they are from, all water and resources are gone. I cannot believe how filthy this place is, if you thought the top part was dirty, the sewers is much worse, I am sending pictures of what the place looks like, I am shocked at their living conditions, I was hoping if you could please let these people into Equestria for a new life." Princess Celestia read, she and Princess Luna looked at the pictures and she exclaimed out of shock while covering her own mouth with her hoof while Princess Luna's jaw dropped, "My goodness, I can't believe they live in such filth." Princess Celestia spoke, "Shall we let them live with us, sister?" Princess Luna asked, "Of course, we're a land of friendship, it would be wrong not to give them a new home, but first, I'll need to speak with their ruler, I'll be right back." Princess Celestia replied, and she flew out of the castle. Princess Celestia flew to the island and Twilight Sparkle and her friends walked with her, "Excuse me, can everycreature come out, please?" Princess Celestia asked, and everyone did, "I have seen the filth of your country, and honestly, I can't believe you guys live in such conditions, I would like a word with your ruler." Princess Celestia requested, and Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom walked forward, "No, your supreme ruler." Princess Celestia said, "There isn't one." Volvox replied, "What?" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed, "See, that's what I was trying to say earlier, we don't have a ruler." the male child from earlier explained, the mares' mouths opened out of shock, "Then... who rules the island?" Fluttershy asked, "It's different in each area, here, Dommiel, the south, Tom, and the north, Volvox." the child explained, "Well, since you all don't have a ruler, I pray and hope you all can settle your differences and get along." Princess Celestia remarked, "Why did you want to see the ruler?" Tom asked, "Because of the state your country is in, I honestly can't believe this, no one should live in such conditions." Princess Celestia replied, the natives looked at one another, "It's not too bad." a female human child remarked, "What?! Not too bad?! This is horrible! The buildings are about to crumble, you all are hungry and thirsty, everycreature is fighting to survive, and worst of all, your clothes and tastes in them are unfashionable!" Rarity ranted, "That's your biggest concern? We have bigger problems than looking fashionable." a female Bigfoot fumed, Rarity growled, "Anyway, my country's open to those who wish to live elsewhere, just keep in mind the other countries will be watching you all." Princess Celestia reminded, and they all left and the island natives got back with their days. The days went by and everycreature was kept up a night by the sounds of warfare, the man from the Soylent Green Processing Factory gave out meat for everycreature to eat right before they fought every night, and the creatures gave him injured and defected babies and animals for him to take to the factory. The fighting at night continued every night and the humans' automobiles made even more noise, so did Phoenix's fire and Thunderbird's thunder, the creatures went over to them after about a week of nightly fighting has kept them up, Princess Celestia held them all back with her telekinesis as she walked forward, "Enough! We cannot sleep! And more importantly, you all can't get along and settle things peacefully, so we're going to establish a co-ruling." Princess Celestia stated, "Foreigners cannot rule this island." Dommiel explained, "No, I am here establishing a rule on this island since you all can't get along, I will also provide food and water for you all as well." Princess Celestia replied, the natives thought about it, "Yeah, I guess, we can always use more food." Tom spoke, the others agreed, "For those looking for a new home, you may come to our land." Princess Celestia stated, and she and the six mares went back and everycreature slept peacefully for the rest of the night. The next day came and the sewer people went to Equestria while the three gangs slept, "Oh, no, no, no, you all cannot come here wearing such dirty clothing, come on now, let's get you all nice and clean." Rarity remarked as she took the humans to Carousel Boutique, she got ready to clean and noticed all of their outfits were made from leather and some had fur, "Huh? Your clothes are all made from leather and fur." Sweetie Belle said, "That's because they're made from dead natives of our island." a female human child replied, Rarity screamed, "You can't wear that! That is criminal!" Rarity thundered with her voice cracking, "Well, the island's cold at night, we need something." a female human adult responded, "I would like a word with your tailors." Rarity stated, the creatures looked at one another, "Don't tell me you don't know what a tailor is, it's a person who makes outfits fit for you all." Rarity explained, "Oh, no, we don't have that, the Soylent Green factory man just skins the dead people for us and gives them to us for us to wear." a male human child replied, "Ugh." Sweetie Belle exclaimed while sticking her tongue out, "Don't you all have any cotton to wear?" Rarity asked, the creatures shook their heads, "Well, that's how this land works, you can't wear people or animal skin as clothing here, it has to be fancy, like a business suit." Rarity explained, the humans stepped forward and Rarity began measuring them and used her magic to make outfits for them quickly, "Here is something for you ladies." Rarity stated as she gave them skirts, "What's this?" a second human female child asked, "Why, it's a skirt, lets you be fancy no matter where you're at." Rarity replied, the female humans shrugged and took them, "There, go on now, I think you all will like it here." Rarity remarked, and they left her shop. The natives from the island explored Ponyville and they saw Sweet Apple Acres, they sneaked to the area and saw the many animals, they got ready to kill the animals and collect the apples to eat, "HEY!!" Applejack hollered, they got startled and looked back while the humans took their knives and guns out, "What are y'all doin'?" Applejack questioned, "Uh... just getting food." a male demon answered, "Come on, y'all, there's no need for that, just come on in and have yerselves some apples." Applejack said, and they did. The creatures had apple treats that the Apple family baked while the Wendigos, onis, and demons did not eat, "Y'all not hungry?" Apple Bloom asked, "Oh, right, they're carnivores." a male Bigfoot child stated, "Meaning?" Apple Bloom asked, "They can only eat meat, Apple Bloom." Applejack explained, "I assume you guys don't eat meat." a male Wendigo child spoke, "Eenope." Big Macintosh answered, "Well, y'all can't eat our animals, they're our sources for some of our meals and drinks." Granny Smith said, "Do you guys at least have some eggs?" a male oni child asked, "Sure, hold on a minute." Applejack replied, and she trotted away, she cooked the eggs and came back with sunny side-up eggs for the Wendigos, onis, and demons, "Here y'all go." Applejack said as she gave it to them, they looked at the eggs and held them up as they examined it, "Um, why are the eggs like this?" a female demon asked, "Cause I cooked 'em." Applejack responded, "We eat everything raw back on the island." a male demon child remarked, "How come?" Apple Bloom asked, "Things take too long to cook, you'll get killed during that time you wait." a male human teenager replied, the Apple family became speechless, "Say, how do y'all know about eggs?" Applejack asked, "We had birds and snakes on the island that laid eggs, we hunted them all to extinction for food." a female elderly Wendigo explained, they became speechless again, "Life on the island sounds hard." Apple Bloom said, "Well, we think it's normal, we all have to do what we have to do to survive." a female Bigfoot replied, "Well, anyway, go ahead and finish, y'all, Ah need to pack fruits for yer island, too." Applejack stated, and they did and left while Apple Bloom and Granny Smith washed the dishes. The creatures traveled Ponyville and their attentions were first directed to Fluttershy's sanctuary, the humans', demons', Cerberus', Orthrus', oinis', and Wendigos' mouths watered at seeing the animals, "Um, guys, I think those are her pets." a male Minotaur stated, "Yeah, it's probably best we leave them be." a female Bigfoot child added, they all went there anyway, the Bigfoots and Minotaurs shrugged and followed them. The creatures arrived at Fluttershy's sanctuary and the Wendigos, onis, and demons began stalking the animals, "Hi there, would you all like a pet?" Fluttershy asked as she flew to them, they got startled and looked at her, "No, it's fine, we're just here to see the animals." a male Wendigo answered, "Oh, well, come along, I'll tell you what they are." Fluttershy stated, "That won't be necessary." a male oni replied, "Okay, suit yourself." Fluttershy said, and she flew away. The humans, Wendigos, onis, and demons began watching the animals as their mouths watered, they went back to stalking the biggest animals and crept to them slowly, Fluttershy saw what they were doing and screamed at the top of her lungs, she quickly flew down in front of them, "NO!! You will not eat my pets! You all should be ashamed of thinking that way!" Fluttershy scolded, "You'll have to excuse them, food is scarce at home, and they can only eat and digest meat." a male Cerberus said, "That's still no excuse for their behavior." Fluttershy scolded, "Can we eat them if we adopt them?" a female oni asked, "NO!!" Fluttershy shouted, the natives from the island were not fazed by the loudness of her voice, "Well, I guess we can at least watch them and see how they act." a male human child said, "That's fine, let me know if you want to know anything about them." Fluttershy replied, and she flew away. The natives of the island looked at the animals and bugs, the carnivores and humans managed to repress their hungers and watched them, they decided they have seen enough for the day and the demons used their magic to teleport themselves and the others back to the island. A few hours passed and Princess Celestia flew back to the island with many fruits, vegetables, grains, and bakeries, "Here you all go, no more famine for a while." Princess Celestia remarked, the natives of the island began fighting for the food while growling and snarling, "No." Princess Celestia said as she used her telekinesis to separate them, "One at a time, I would like for you all to be in a single file line." Princess Celestia spoke, and they did. The children went first and they tried everything, the natives had trouble eating the bakeries, the Wendigos, onis, and demons did not eat. The bell was heard ringing and the man from the Soylent Green factory came out with meat products, they ate the meat. Princess Celestia noticed Volvox was not around and she tried to see where he was at, she soon saw him walking around, "Come on over, Volvox, I have enough for everybody." Princess Celestia called out, "I don't need to eat to survive." Volvox replied, "What?" Princess Celestia asked, "He's right, for some reason, he doesn't need to eat or drink anything in order to live." a male demon explained, Princess Celestia raised an eyebrow. She watched and saw some of the food on the road, an anorexic dog came and ate them, she put her hoof on her own heart while her jaw dropped at the sight, she watched and they were all full, "Please wait a bit, the others of my country are gathering water and other drinks, they'll be here shortly." Princess Celestia stated, and she flew back. Several minutes passed and Princess Luna and Princess Cadence came with water, milk, fruit juices, punch, and cider, "Here you all go, this should be enough for about a month." Princess Luna stated, and they all took turns drinking them directly from the bottles and barrels, "Um, don't you all have any cups?" Princess Cadence asked, they all looked at her, "Cup?" a male Bigfoot asked, "You know, you pour your drink into it and you drink from it." Princess Cadence explained, "We don't have that." a male human child replied, the two became speechless, they also noticed the majority of them only drank water, they saw several dogs and wolves come forward to drink as well, they finished and the two princesses flew back. A few days passed and Twilight Sparkle requested the natives of the island to send their children to the School of Friendship, they arrived and saw the ponies and five other creatures there, they sat with them, "As you know, we had a new island appear, those kids are from that island, so we'll be able to teach them friendship and hope it will end the war and fighting there, would you all kindly give them books on our school's curriculum?" Twilight Sparkle asked, and Ocellus did, "For those of you new, open the books and start reading." Twilight Sparkle ordered, the natives of the island looked at the books with confusion, "No, guys, you open them, like this." Sandbar stated as he showed them, they did and looked at the words on the first page, "There, now go ahead and read the book." Twilight Sparkle instructed, the island natives looked at one another, "Um, we don't know how to read." a female human stated, "*gasp* You guys can't read?" Silverstream asked, "We're too busy trying to survive another day, we don't have time to learn new things." a male human replied, "Well, you have the time now, I can teach you all as well." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they tried to learn while Ocellus taught them the letters and how to pronounce the words and what they meant, "How did you all learn how to speak?" Ocellus asked, "The adults taught us." a male Wendigo replied, "Oh, well, come on now, I'll teach you all how to read, it's fun." Ocellus remarked, and she did, the island natives had trouble memorizing the alphabet and words as Ocellus explained it to them and what the sentences meant, the island natives still had trouble, "It's okay, Ocellus, maybe they'll learn more from experience, get to class now, everycreature." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they did. Classes started and Fluttershy's class was first, "Okay, everycreature, I will show you all a new creature today, this is an armadillo." Fluttershy spoke as she showed it to them, "Wow, we never had this animal on our island." a female oni stated, "What happened to your island's animals anyway?" Gallus questioned, "We hunted them to extinction." a male human answered, the class reeled back in shock, "But why?" Ocellus asked, "We needed the food." a male demon replied, "Yona wanna meet animals on island." Yona said, "There's only dogs and wolves now." a female Wendigo replied, "Anyway, back to class, this is the armadillo, they roll up into a ball when they feel threatened, the scales on their bodies protect them from harm." Fluttershy explained, the armadillo walked around a male demon looked up to it menacingly, the armadillo rolled up into a ball, "That wasn't very nice of you." Fluttershy scolded, the armadillo rolled out of the ball and walked around again, the students petted it while it went back to Fluttershy, the bell rung afterwards, "Go on to your next class, everycreature." Fluttershy said, and they did. The island natives walked through the school while following the six students, "That orange bipedal one looks like it eats meat." a male Minotaur spoke, the others nodded, "No, I eat gems, nocreature of any country eats meat." Smolder replied, "I guess we're the only ones." a female Orthrus stated, "Say, how do you creatures with multiple heads think and function?" Silverstream asked, "Well, it depends on whether if you have two heads or three heads." the female Orthrus replied, "Well, how does it work?" Gallus questioned, "Well, with me, both of my heads are equally dominant and functional, for the three headed ones, the middle head's the dominant one." the female Orthrus explained, "What do the other two heads do?" Sandbar asked, "Obey the center head." a male Cerberus replied, "Wow, well, our next class is here." Ocellus stated, and they entered the classroom. Rainbow Dash got ready to teach her class and barely contained her excitement over meeting kids from the new island, they entered and she flew around the class, "Alright, newbies, I am Rainbow Dash, also known as Professor Egghead, I hope you all are excited for my assignment." Rainbow Dash stated, "Before you do, we can't read." a male demon reminded her, "Don't worry, my assignment doesn't involve any reading, and personally, I don't like reading very much either, I'm all about teaching teamwork." Rainbow Dash replied, "Oh, that's easy." a male human commented, "Alright, so if it's easy, I want you all to show me teamwork." Rainbow Dash replied, and they all went outside and began stalking some of the animals, "Okay, guys, you all can't hunt here." Rainbow Dash stated as she separated them, "But that is our main way of showing teamwork." the female Orthrus said, "Hmm, do you guys know how to build buildings or houses?" Rainbow Dash asked, the natives shook their heads, they looked around and saw things they could use, "Wait, I know, we can make rope." a male Bigfoot said, the others looked and agreed, they picked some of the plants and broke them apart, they twisted their fibers together to make rope, "Cool, I guess that's one form of teamwork." Rainbow Dash commented, the others smiled, "Come on, the others can teach you how to make things." Rainbow Dash suggested, and they did. The creatures got various items around outside and they began showing the island natives how to build a shed, "I'm still surprised you guys don't know how to build these." Gallus said, "We were never taught, only the oldest people of our home know how." a female Cerberus explained, "So, is hunting the only thing you guys do for teamwork?" Silverstream asked, "Pretty much, only other thing we do together is fighting." a male human replied, "Wow, you guys really need to expand what you do." Smolder commented, "Yona think same thing." Yona added, "Alright, we'll do something basic, build a shed." Sandbar said, and they did. The students showed the island natives how to build a shed with wood and nails, the demons, Bigfoots, Wendigos, and Minotaurs wondered about putting the nails in, they pressed them down with their hands' and they went into the wood easily, they shrugged and built their own shed while watching the other students, "Wow, look at them, they're not even communicating, it's almost like they can read each other's minds." Ocellus said, the others looked and noticed they were right, "It's probably because they have worked together so much in the past, they can do things non-verbally." Rainbow Dash replied, they all watched them and they finished the shed in about an hour, "Done." a female Cerberus said, "Okay, not bad, you guys really do work well together." Rainbow Dash observed, the island natives smiled, the bell rung after that, "Well, go on, everycreature, you all did good." Rainbow Dash stated, and they did. The island's natives went to Pinkie Pie's class next and their attentions were caught by how bright and decorative her class was, "Come on in, I've gotta throw your 'First Day of School' party." Pinkie Pie ordered as she told them to come in with her hoof, and they did, the party cannon went off and they quickly got defensive and some were ready to attack, "Guys, relax, it's just her party cannon." Sandbar explained, "Thing sounds like a weapon from our home." a male human commented, "Relax, I always use this, come on, have some fun." Pinkie Pie said as her confetti and streamers went off again, and they did. The island's natives looked at the games she had and they just moved things on the boards around randomly, "No, there are rules to these games, you can't just do what you want." Pinkie Pie stated, "Professor Pinkie, remember, they can't read." Gallus reminded, "I haven't forgotten, Gallus." Pinkie Pie replied, and she tried to explain the rules of the board games to them, they all shrugged and continued doing what they wanted to do, "Didn't you all hear a word I said?!" Pinkie Pie scolded, "We did, we'll play seriously later." a male demon replied, "Oh, okay, sorry." Pinkie Pie remarked, and she gave them several foods, "Sorry, but I don't have any meat." Pinkie Pie spoke, and they tried them, the sweetness of her food was very strong and they almost spat them out, "Too sweet." a female human said, "Oh, sorry, well, wait a bit, lunch is about to start." Pinkie Pie replied, and they continued looking at her things until the bell for lunch rung. Everycreature went to the cafeteria and they were all served fruits and grains, the island's natives looked at each tray with surprise, "Wow, this is how much food you all get for lunch every day?" a male human asked, the students nodded, "This is more food than most of us eat in a week." the male human stated, the students looked at them with shock, "More food than in a week?" Silverstream shrieked, "Yeah, food's always been scarce back at home." a female human replied, "Now that you mention it, you all do look awfully skinny." Sandbar remarked, "We're average weight by our island's standards." a male Bigfoot replied, "You guys must be very skinny then." Gallus snarked, "You're fat by our standards." a male Wendigo snarked back, Gallus chuckled and everycreature except the carnivores had lunch. The creatures returned to Pinkie Pie's class and they continued trying out her party things, "Who wants to fly with my party cannon?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Ooh, ooh, I do." Silverstream hollered, and she was put in and Pinkie Pie shot her forward, "Whee!" Silverstream exclaimed as she flew through the air and flapped her wings to land safely, "Come on, everycreature, join in." Pinkie Pie ordered, "Um... no thanks, we've had enough of those back at home." a female Minotaur replied, the others nodded, "Okay, have fun with the other stuff." Pinkie Pie spoke, and the students took turns in the party cannon and she shot them, they all had fun until the bell rung, "See you all tomorrow." Pinkie Pie stated, and they all went to the next class. Applejack waited for the class to come and they entered, "Howdy, y'all, Ah trust y'all been studyin' how honesty can hurt someone." Applejack spoke, "Wait, an honesty class?" a male Cerberus questioned, "Well, yeah, they teach us the Elements of Friendship." Sandbar explained, "Don't y'all learn honesty back on the island?" Applejack asked, "Well, yes, but we're taught to either tell the truth or lie depending on the situation." the female Orthrus replied, "Whaddya mean by that?" Applejack asked, "More surviving, if lying is going to save your life and let you live another day, then lie." a male Bigfoot explained, "Y'all, this ain't about survivin' and livin' another day, this is about being a morally decent person in yer everyday life." Applejack explained, "Your everyday life is different from ours." a male human replied, "Yeah, fighting to survive another day is our everyday life." a female human added, "Well, try to adjust, we don't have that here, Ah trust these students here can help ya." Applejack replied, and she got ready to teach. She began teaching about the apples and bucked them in her free time while the students cheered, "Um... is that what you do for fun?" a male human questioned, "For today, Ah have activities for other days." Applejack replied, "Okay, but... why do you kick the apple instead of eating it?" a female Cerberus asked, "Cause Ah've got plenty and food ain't scarce in this country." Applejack explained, and they all kicked the apples while the island natives watched with confusion, the bell rung after a while, "Hold on, y'all, here are yer homework, as for y'all islanders, Ah'll give y'all homework when y'all learn how to read." Applejack remarked, and she did, and the students went to the last class. The students walked to the last class while the island's natives followed them, "This is the last class, guys." Sandbar said, "Wait, so only five classes?" the female Orthrus asked, "Yup, they're quite busy, though." Smolder replied, "For your own goods, try to look professional, this last teacher is very observant and a bit strict on appearance." Silverstream informed, and they headed to the class. Rarity was ready to teach her class and they entered, the island natives stopped when they saw her, "You again." a male demon commented, Rarity looked at their outfits and screamed, "You all are still wearing your leather outfits, this is no place for clothing like that." Rarity spoke, "Is something wrong with their clothing, Professor Rarity?" Ocellus asked, "Yes, those outfits are made from the skin and fur of other people and animals." Rarity replied, the students screamed, "Well, we need some way to stay warm in the winter and at night." a male human stated, "Why can't you all just make a fire?" Ocellus asked, "We're easy targets if we stay in one place." a female Wendigo replied, "How about physical contact with one another?" Smolder brought up, "We do that when we sleep." a male Bigfoot answered, "Come on now, put on the clothes I gave you all a few days ago." Rarity ordered, "Oh, um... we left them at home." a female Orthrus responded, "Okay then, you were going to make a new outfit today anyway, but my supplies are limited, so make sure you share." Rarity spoke, and they did. The students showed the island natives how to sew and use the sewing machines, the students cut the cloths for them and they did the sewing, they shared the threads and sewn together, "How are you all coming?" Rarity asked as she trotted to them, they showed her and they have made a mess, their clothing was a bunch of fabrics sewn up into a ball, "It's alright, darlings, first time's always disastrous." Rarity said, and they tried again and could not sew an outfit together, "Give it time, it took me years to perfect my sewing skills, too." Rarity commented, and they tried until the bell rung, "See you all tomorrow, class." Rarity said, and they left. The island's natives looked for the exit while the students headed back to their dorms, "Um... students go to dorms." Yona spoke, "We'll be heading home." a male Cerberus replied, "Yeah, the island needs us." a male human added, and they headed home but stopped when they saw Starlight Glimmer and Spike, "There you all are, I trust you all like the school." Starlight Glimmer stated, the island's natives thought about it and shrugged, "You all don't like it?" Spike asked, "It's alright." the female Orthrus replied, the other island natives nodded, "I'm Starlight Glimmer, the school's counselor, if you all have anything on your mind that's bothering you, my door is open." Starlight Glimmer said, "What kind of school is this anyway?" a female human questioned, "This is the School of Friendship, Fluttershy teaches kindness, Rainbow Dash teaches loyalty, Pinkie Pie teaches laughter, Applejack teaches honesty, and Rarity teaches generosity." Starlight Glimmer explained, "Well, I suppose it could help." a female demon commented, "Yeah, we can use friendship to survive another day." a female Wendigo added, "Guys, the power of friendship isn't just about surviving, it's also about getting along and helping others all the time." Starlight Glimmer explained, "Well, we'll be going now, thanks for clearing that up for us." a male Bigfoot stated, and they all went back to the island. The next day came and the kids talked about what they learned at the School of Friendship, the adults decided not to send them back, Twilight Sparkle flew back to the island, "Excuse me, everycreature." Twilight Sparkle hollered, they all came out, "I'd like those kids back in my school." Twilight Sparkle stated, "For what?" Dommiel asked, "I'm not done teaching them." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Another day, we need them here, too." Tom said, "We'll send them when we wish, but we need them for today." Volvox said, "Alright then, kids, share what you learned with them." Twilight Sparkle instructed, and she flew away. The island's natives went on with their days and some of the kids slept in the old decrepit buildings while some slept on the road and some slept on the buildings' support beams, Princess Cadence noticed it and she and Shining Armor went to the island with sleeping bags and pillows, "Excuse me, everycreature." Princess Cadence spoke, they all looked at her, "Can you wake up the others?" Princess Cadence asked, and they did, Shining Armor gave them sleeping bags and pillows with his telekinesis, "Here you all go, maybe this will be more comfortable to sleep in than on the road and in those decaying buildings." Shining Armor said, "Um, why are you giving these to us for?" a male human child asked, "Because this road and all of that wood and stone in the buildings look uncomfortable to sleep on, and don't forget the fire on some of them, kids should be able to sleep peacefully without worrying about their lives." Princess Cadence explained, they all remained speechless and simply took them, "Wait a bit, the hippogriffs will be here with more water." Princess Cadence said, and she flew away while Shining Armor teleported. A few hours passed and ships came, they saw the hippogriffs coming with barrels of water, they walked to them, "Here you all go, requested from Equestria to bring you all fresh drinking water." General Seaspray announced, and the island's natives took it, "Why are you all listening to them?" Tom asked, "Because Equestria is the most powerful country in this world, we also have a good relationship with them." General Seaspray explained, he watched Volvox and his gang take a few barrels and they dumped them into a big glass container and Thunderbird electrified the water, "Can you lend us your weapons?" Dommiel requested, "Heavens no, we already got invaded once, we need them so it doesn't happen again." General Seaspray replied, "Understandable, sorry for asking." Dommiel responded, and they took the water, the hippogriffs left with their ships. A night of fighting and warfare went on and the next morning came, Princess Celestia flew there with a treaty, "I am ordering a ceasefire between the three groups, this has gone on long enough." Princess Celestia announced, "And if we don't sign it?" Volvox asked, "Then go elsewhere, we've all had enough of being kept up at night with the sounds of war." Princess Celestia replied, and he signed it alongside Dommiel and Tom, "Thank you, no more fighting, you'll be put in jail if you do." Princess Celestia announced, and she flew away. The day went on and the island's natives kept their kids away from the School of Friendship, they saw Twilight Sparkle and her friends coming that afternoon, "We can't send the kids to your school today, either." Dommiel announced, "No, we're not here for that, we'd like permission to enter the Soylent Green factory." Twilight Sparkle replied, the natives became speechless, "Um... it's open to everybody." Tom explained, "Oh, sorry, well, girls, let's go see what their main food source is." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they went to it. The Mane Six entered the Soylent Green Processing Factory and saw it was dirty and rusty inside, "Oh, what a filthy factory, I can't believe someone can actually work in these conditions." Rarity announced, "It's not too bad." Rainbow Dash responded, "Not bad? Not bad?! How is this not bad?! You've rust on the walls there, dust and cobwebs over there, broken windows right there, rotting wood there, and all of these pieces of the wall and ceiling on the floor here. Ugh, how can someone work, or even worse, live in such conditions?!" Rarity ranted, "Ah agree with Rarity, Rainbow, this place ain't suitable to work in." Applejack added, "Enough chit-chat, let's go." Twilight Sparkle announced and they did. The Mane Six walked and they heard what sounded like cages being rattled and babies crying, "*gasp* I hear kids crying, don't worry, I'm coming!" Pinkie Pie hollered as she ran with a pink trail behind her, they followed her and soon heard dogs whimpering, "*gasp* I hear them, they sound sad, I'm coming." Fluttershy announced and she flew faster, the four followed them and they gasped when they saw them in cages. The six mares went over to them and Fluttershy comforted the dogs, "Shh, shh, it's okay, I'm not here to hurt you." Fluttershy whispered, and they stopped whimpering, "What's going on here?" Fluttershy asked, the dogs leaned their heads to their lefts and the six mares looked to their rights, they saw the man covering a baby's mouth with his hand and then put it on a conveyor belt, the babies, children, dead people, puppies, pups, wolves, dogs, and dead animals moved on it and went inside another device, they came out the other side cut into various cuts and sizes of meat. The mares screamed in horror while Fluttershy began crying and Rarity fainted, "Wait until tonight, I'll have the meat ready soon." the man stated, the six watched with horror and they soon ran out screaming, "Everycreature! Come out here!" Twilight Sparkle shouted at the top of her voice, they all came out, "What is it?" Volvox asked, "Soylent Green is people and animals! You all are eating one another!" Twilight Sparkle shouted, the other countries screamed in horror at what she said while the island natives remained silent, "Um... we already know that." Tom said, "What?! Y'all knew?!" Applejack asked, "Of course, we need some way to feed the island's carnivores, so we all came up with it together." Dommiel explained, the six mares looked on with shock and horror, "How are you all okay with that?!" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "Meat is meat." a male demon replied, the mares jaws' dropped, Twilight Sparkle went back into the factory, she used her magic to take pictures and made a letter appear, she wrote on it and teleported it to Princess Celestia, she went back out, "Come on, girls, let's go home." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and they began to head home, she looked and saw Princess Celestia and Princess Luna on the balcony of Canterlot Castle, they received her letter and looked at the pictures and read about the Soylent Factory, she and Princess Luna jaws' dropped while Princess Luna covered her own mouth with her hoof, she and her friends headed home. The next morning came and Princess Celestia went back to the island, "I order that factory to be shut down." Princess Celestia declared, "That's our main food source." a male Wendigo replied, "No! I order it to be shut down now! That is the most sickening food source I have ever seen!" Princess Celestia thundered, her subjects watched with discomfort since she was actually raising her voice, "That's going to bring up a problem if we do." Tom explained, "I get that, me and the other countries are trying to find other sources of meat to use as food, and if possible, an alternate source, but using injured, sick, defected, or deceased people and animals as food is not okay, they should be buried with respect, and those who are still alive still have lives." Princess Celestia replied with her voice back at its regular tone, "We are currently looking for alternate sources, one of my subjects is going to try to give you fish." Princess Celestia stated, "We might be able to digest that." a male demon replied, "Good, but no more eating people." Princess Celestia ordered, and she flew away. The man came out of the Soylent Green Processing Factory and Volvox used his telekinesis to take it down, he freed the people and animals that were still alive, all of the island's natives then began eating the leftover meat, "What are you going to do now?" Tom asked, "I don't know, maybe go fishing or try to catch some bugs." the man replied, and they all ate the remaining meat like wild animals. Early evening came and Fluttershy flew to the island with a big net filled with fish, "Here you all go, sorry I took so long." Fluttershy said, and she put the fish down and the demons, Wendigos, onis, and humans began fighting over the fish while growling and snarling, "WAIT!!" Fluttershy shouted, they looked at her, "Be careful, some parts of them are poisonous." Fluttershy warned, "I'm sure we'll be fine." a female oni responded, and they all began fighting over the fish and ate with their bare hands', they chewed with their mouths open with crumbs falling out, she became squeamish at the sight and saw the dogs and wolves going over to eat them the crumbs, "Um, if it's okay with you guys? Can I take the dogs and wolves to my place to nurture them?" Fluttershy asked, "Sure, just make sure you bring them back when you're done." Dommiel replied, "Don't worry, I will." Fluttershy responded, and she carried them to her sanctuary. Fluttershy took the animals to her sanctuary and the dogs and wolves began circling around the other animals, "No! They are not food!" Fluttershy fumed as she held them apart with her hoofs, the dogs and wolves growled at her, "No! They all live here, you will not have them as food!" Fluttershy declared, they began circling her while showing their teeth and drooling, she did the stare and the dogs and wolves backed away while whimpering, "There, sorry about that, as long as you all behave, you will like it here, I promise." Fluttershy assured in her regular soothing voice, and she got things ready for them. She made beds for the dogs and wolves to sleep in, she then got them fish to eat and they fought over the fish while growling, "No, no fighting, we share here." Fluttershy announced as she broke up a dog and a wolf fighting over a fish, "We share here, so if you're going to fight for food, you will have none." Fluttershy snapped, and the two stopped, she broke the fish in half and gave a piece to each one, the dog and the wolf ate them and they looked at each other's piece, "No, eat your own." Fluttershy commanded as she turned their heads to make them face their own fish, they did and walked away while Fluttershy gave fish to the rest. Night time came and she was ready to put every animal to sleep, some of the animals tried to go into their beds and the dogs and wolves growled at them, "Oh, stop that, they sleep there, too." Fluttershy ordered, and they continued to growl, she used the stare on them and they obeyed her and let the animals sleep, "There, goodnight, everyanimal." Fluttershy commented, and they all slept. The next morning came and Fluttershy gave the animals breakfast, she then got ready to bathe the dogs and wolves, they resisted and struggled to break free of her grip, "No! You are not going to be all dirty and smelly here, you will be clean as I nurse you back to health!" Fluttershy declared, they continued resisting her and one dog bit her hoof, she yelped loudly, the birds flew away, "How dare you! I am trying to nurse back to health and make you healthy, and this is how you repay me, you should be ashamed of yourself! How would your mother feel if she knew what you did just now?!" Fluttershy scolded while staring into the dog's eyes, the dogs and wolves looked at each other with confusion, "Now, you will take a bath and be clean, so stop fighting." Fluttershy ordered, and she tried to put them in a tub of water and they continued resisting, "Fine, we'll just do this with the hose." Fluttershy said, and she got a water hose and tried to spray the water on them, they ran away, "Come back here!" Fluttershy demanded as she flew after them. The dogs and wolves ran around her sanctuary as she chased them, she tried flying in front of them and they split up and ran around, Fluttershy growled as she tried to get them but they kept running away until they were restrained by magic and put in one spot, Discord appeared in front of them, "If you're not going to listen to her, then maybe you will listen to me." Discord announced, and he made water and soap appear on them, they growled at him and Discord used his magic to open the ground and show skeletons in lava, the dogs and wolves whimpered, "Now, you either listen and obey me, or into the lava pit you go." Discord threatened, and they stopped resisting while he used his magic to wash them, he then dried them, "Thank you, Discord." Fluttershy said, and he disappeared. Fluttershy let the dogs and wolves sit as she fed the other animals and let them exercise, "Come on, you all too." Fluttershy ordered, and she tried to have the dogs and wolves walk around her sanctuary, they sat and did not budge, she tried pushing them forward while grunting, she could not move them, "Why do you all have to be so stubborn?" Fluttershy asked while grunting, they heard walking and her five friends came over, "Is everything alright, Fluttershy? We can hear you all the way in Ponyville." Twilight Sparkle stated, "I'm trying to get these dogs and wolves back to health, but they're so stubborn and won't listen to me." Fluttershy responded, and she grunted as she tried to push a wolf with her back, she turned around and tried to push him forward, "Why won't get up and walk?" Fluttershy asked while grunting, the wolf turned its head to the right and bent down and bit her hind hoof, she screamed loudly and the birds flew away. Fluttershy's friends looked on with shock while she whimpered, she stopped and tried to get them to walk again, "Come on, you all, I don't have time for this." Fluttershy spoke as she grunted, she grunted more as she tried to push them. Applejack trotted to her, "Fluttershy, take a break, Ah'll handle this." Applejack remarked, and she ran home and came back with a Frisbee, "Look at what Ah got." Applejack stated as she waved the Frisbee in front of them, "Y'all want it?" Applejack asked, the dogs and wolves did not move, "Wow, they're actually resisting it." Applejack commented, "Wait, Applejack, I have an idea." Fluttershy replied, and she gave her a fish instead, "Y'all want this?" Applejack asked, the dogs and wolves got up and ran to her, "Fetch!" Applejack commanded as she threw it. The dogs and wolves ran to the fish and they growled and snarled as they fought one another, Rarity exclaimed while the other five gasped, "Stop it! No!" Fluttershy scolded as she took the fish and flew back with it to Applejack, the dogs and wolves stopped, "When you play fetch, you catch the item, and give it back to the thrower, they'll throw it again for you to catch again." Fluttershy explained, the dogs and wolves growled at her, "No, I said it before, no fighting, we share here." Fluttershy reminded, they growled louder, "Ugh, look at their teeth!" Rarity exclaimed, they did and saw their teeth were yellow with meat and fish between them, "Come on, we need to clean you guys' teeth." Fluttershy stated, and she went into her home. She came out with toothpaste, toothbrushes, and dental floss, she let them taste the meat flavored toothpaste first and she and her friends began brushing their teeth while they swallowed the toothpaste, they finished and Fluttershy got ready to rinse their mouths, "Open wide now." Fluttershy commanded, and she tried to rinse their mouths with the hose while they looked away, "Hold still." Twilight Sparkle ordered as she used her telekinesis to hold them still and open their mouths, their mouths got rinsed, "There, don't you all feel better?" Fluttershy asked, they felt their own teeth with their tongues, she went back into her home and came back out with dental floss, she an her friends tried to floss their teeth but they resisted, "No, don't resist, this will get the food out from between your teeth." Fluttershy explained, and she fought to get the floss between a wolf's teeth and flossed the food out, the wolf tried to lick the fish off of the floss, "No, this is trash, you don't eat this." Fluttershy stated, the wolf groaned and she and her friends cleaned the teeth of the others, "There you all go, your teeth are now clean." Fluttershy spoke, the dogs and wolves felt their own teeth and became happy, "Ooh, I know, this calls for a picture!" Pinkie Pie cheered, "Another time, Pinkie, wait until I'm done." Fluttershy replied, "Oh, okay." Pinkie Pie commented, "Let us know if you need our help again, Fluttershy." Twilight Sparkle stated, "I will, thank you all very much." Fluttershy replied, "Don't mention it, Fluttershy, it's what friends do." Rainbow Dash remarked, "Still, thank you." Fluttershy replied, and they left. The next day came and the kids from the island came, "Hello, where are your parents?" Fluttershy asked, "Busy." a female Wendigo replied, "Yeah, we're here to see our dogs and wolves." a male human added, "They've been quite hard to take care of and they're resisting me, I hope today will be better." Fluttershy replied, "Well, we're going back to the school today." a male Bigfoot stated, "Really? That's wonderful, please, come." Fluttershy replied, and they followed her to the school. The island's natives went to school with Fluttershy and sat with the other students, "Oh, good, you all came today, I trust you all taught your parents what you learned about friendship?" Twilight Sparkle spoke, "Uh..." the island's natives said together, "We... kind of forgot to." a male Cerberus responded, "That's alright, you all are busy, we can introduce friendship to your island once when things there settle down." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the lecture went on until it was time to go to class. The island's natives walked with Sandbar and the five foreign creatures again, "Yona want know what creatures called." Yona spoke, "Who is this Yona you're referring to anyway?" a female human asked, "Oh, that, that's a yak trait, they refer to themselves in third person." Sandbar replied, "I see, we're humans, those slightly light blue guys who are muscular with the horns on the forehead, sharp teeth, fangs, and wings are demons, the apes are Bigfoots, these bipedal guys with the deer heads are Wendigos, the ones with human bodies and bull heads are Minotaurs, those red guys with the horns and sharp teeth are onis, the two headed dogs are Orthrus', and the three headed ones are Cerberus'." the female human explained, "What about those two birds?" Ocellus asked, "They're phoenixes and thunderbirds, there used to be plenty, those two with Volvox are the only two left." a male human replied, "What about Volvox? What is he?" Silverstream asked, "Well, none of us know what he is, he's a one of a kind species on our island." a female Cerberus answered, "Wow, you sure he's not some kind of mutated Cerberus?" Gallus asked, "Yeah, we're sure, he has magic and psychic powers, us Cerberuses don't." a male Cerberus responded, "Wow, so none of you know what he is." Smolder remarked, they shook their heads, "Well, come on, classes are about to start." Sandbar said, and they all went on with school. The people on the island got on with their days and their kids came back later in the afternoon with the ponies coming to them with various tools, "Alright, everyone, let's get this island fixed." Sunburst stated, "What's wrong with the island?" Dommiel asked, "Just look around, the buildings are on the verge of collapsing, your sewers are not working, there's dust and cobwebs everywhere, the walls and shingles are cracked, everything's rusty, your building's support beams are rotting, your windows are broken, and they're all about to collapse, this is no place for a kid to live in." Princess Cadence explained, "Really? We've been fine so far." a female Cerberus puppy replied, "You all grew up too fast, you all should be playing and having fun, not struggling to survive." Princess Cadence responded, "Yeah, isn't there like a playground or anything for the kids to play at?" Sunburst questioned, Volvox used his telekinesis to move some of the buildings aside, the ponies saw a few kids playing on old and worn out buildings, they climbed the support beams for fun while one tried to play on a tire swing, they all broke apart and the kids began to fall, the unicorns quickly used their telekinesis to grab them while the others gasped and Rarity exclaimed a few times, "See, this isn't a place for kids, we're here to help you rebuild, everything has to be torn down and built from the ground up, you all need to clean, too." Princess Cadence announced, "Truth be told, none of us get sick here." a male Bigfoot replied, "This isn't just about you guys not getting sick, it's also so you don't spread any sickness into our countries." Sunburst responded, "Oh." the island's natives said, "Alright, let's get started, we'll help you all." Princess Cadence announced and they did. The ponies used their magic to take down all of the old and decrepit buildings and the Pegasi used rain clouds to put the flames out, they all rebuilt the buildings together while several others cleaned out the sewers and got water back in for it to work again, they all worked for hours and everything was rebuilt, "There, you all now have improved living conditions." Princess Cadence announced, "Honestly, I'd like to see some ornaments and decorations on the buildings." Rarity said, "They looked like that before they got worn down." Volvox replied, "Well, maybe you should add some decorations and more color to it this time." Rarity commented, "Rarity, I think they'll do that later, come on, let's let them adjust." Twilight Sparkle responded, and they all left. A week passed with peaceful nights and Fluttershy was almost done getting the dogs and wolves back to a healthy weight, the sewer people now lived on the island and in Equestria while their kids attended the School of Friendship, "Excuse me, kids, over here." Starlight Glimmer announced, and they entered her office, "I'd like for you to talk about your times on the island during the war, one of my jobs is to counsel traumatized and disturbed people." Starlight Glimmer stated, "We haven't been bothered by the war and noises of battle." a female human responded, "Right now, but in a few years from now, you will start to be bothered by the memories, so it's best to start early, so tell me about your experiences in the war." Starlight Glimmer replied, and they did. A week passed and Fluttershy went back with the dogs and wolves, "Here you all go, they were hard at first, but they mellowed out near the end." Fluttershy commented, "Thanks." Volvox responded as the animals went back to them, and Fluttershy flew back. The day went on peacefully until Princess Celestia flew to the island in the afternoon, "Have you all decided on a form of government yet?" Princess Celestia asked, they all shook their heads, "Really? You've all had plenty of time to decide." Princess Celestia stated, "We can decide if you let us fight over who gets to be the ruler." Tom replied, "No, you are not doing that, I'd like for you all to come up with an alternate." Princess Celestia ordered, "Um..." the island's natives said as they thought about it, they soon looked at her, "What do you suggest?" Volvox asked, "You guys can't come up with another way?" Princess Celestia asked, the island's natives shook their heads, "I think it would be best for you all to form a counsel with a representative of each creature there." Princess Celestia suggested, "Look at that, looks like I win automatically." Volvox boasted, "No, you do not, the other two leaders will be part of the counsel, too, as for the other creatures, pick your leader." Princess Celestia replied, and she flew away. She watched the island at they all voted for who should be their representative, they all decided to make the oldest person of their kind the ruler, so the rulers were now Volvox representing himself, Dommiel representing demons, Tom representing humans, a male Bigfoot, a female Wendigo, a female Minotaur, a male oni, a male Cerberus, and a female Orthrus, they all gathered together while Volvox had Phoenix and Thunderbird by his sides, he glared at the demons and humans alongside the other creatures, they all sided with him. The other creatures watched each other and were silent, they all left without saying anything while the others watched them. The next day came and the people used the bathroom in the roads, the creatures in the other countries gasped when they saw it, "Hey!" Twilight Sparkle hollered as she went over, they looked at her, "There are toilets for a reason." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Sorry, but we haven't used toilets for so long, we've forgot about them." a male oni responded, "Well, at least clean it, other creatures are going to be curious and want to explore this place." Twilight Sparkle explained, and the island's natives did, "Is this the place, Twilight?" Sunset Shimmer asked as she used her telekinesis to fly to the island, "Yes, this is it." Twilight Sparkle responded, she looked around, "Wow, I didn't think there were humans in another place." Sunset Shimmer stated, "You're not from here?" Dommiel asked, "Well, I am, but I'm staying in a different world also filled with humans." Sunset Shimmer explained, and she looked at the place, "Wow, a big improvement over the picture you sent me of how it first looked." Sunset Shimmer commented, "It is, this place was filthy was it first arrived." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, there will be others coming here soon, guys, they're tourists who want to explore your country." Sunset Shimmer stated, "That's fine, just as long as they don't get in the way with anything." Volvox replied, and she explored the island. She continued visiting and the other creatures soon came and went to the others, "If you want, we can establish relations for trade." Princess Ember announced, "No thanks." Volvox replied, the others nodded, "Why not?" King Thorax asked, "Well, we just formed the counsel, we'd like to be independent for now." the Wendigo ruler explained, "Can yak do trade?" Prince Rutherford asked, "Maybe later." Dommiel replied, "You all should go back to your fighting selves, it was more entertaining that way." Grampa Gruff remarked, "Yeah, it was kind of fun." the Cerberus ruler responded, the other natives nodded, "But it's not what you all need, you all need to come together peacefully." King Thorax explained, "We get that, but no relations until we figure things out." Tom replied, "Just remember we'll be watching, so if any of you begin fighting or causing trouble, we'll arrive to help." Rain Shine stated, "What do you mean help?" Dommiel questioned, "Try to figure out what's wrong and resolve it peacefully, this area is powered by friendship." Rain Shine explained, the island's natives looked at one another with confusion, "We'll leave you guys for now, but we'll watch your progress." Princess Ember remarked, and the country rulers went back to their homes. The countries watched the island as they formed a new government and quickly began using currency called bits to buy things, some of the creatures still fought when they wanted the same thing and the creatures from the other countries had to break them up, the other creatures soon began going to the island as tourists even though the natives did not have anything to attract them, they did not put any decorations or ornaments on anything either, the other creatures soon went over to try to establish trade relations, "Alright, guys, the dragons will give you all some of our obsidian for you to use." Princess Ember stated, "Okay, we can give you some of our clubs." the oni ruler replied, Princess Ember nodded in agreement, "The griffons can try to find some birds for you all for those two to try to recreate their kind." Grampa Gruff stated as he pointed to Phoenix and Thunderbird, Fluttershy, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle were tending to them and feeding them, "Alright, we can always have our fauna come back, we'll let them go to your country, too." Volvox responded, "Well, us changelings can't give you much, but we are willing to offer some of our arts." King Thorax stated, "We'll see what we can do, we'll give you pieces of our road." Dommiel replied, "Yak bring musical instruments to island." Prince Rutherford said, "Yeah, and we'll give you our clothes." Tom replied, "We'll give you all more water since there's still not enough for you all." General Seaspray announced, "Thanks, and we'll give you guys our weapons for you all to defend your home with." the Orthrus ruler responded, "We'll give you all our tea in case you all get tired of having water all the time." Rain Shine stated, "Thanks, but I doubt it, we'll give you guys various items for you all to use for your plays." the Cerberus ruler replied, "Alright, we'll give you the many aspects of our culture so you all can grow, Equestria would like to have your animals in our country so they can be adopted and given happy homes." Princess Celestia announced, "Alright, that can be done." Volvox replied, "Thank you, I think we're off to a good start." Princess Celestia stated, and they all left. Several days passed and the children from the island were in Equestria and seeing Rarity, they returned the clothes she made for them, "Is something wrong with the skirts?" Rarity asked, "We can't move completely in them." a female human answered, "Oh, common, that takes some getting used to." Rarity stated, "Well, we're here to return them." a female oni stated, and Rarity took them, she smelled them and their hands' left a putrid stench on the clothes, she covered her snout from it, "You all are still dirty, do you all take baths or showers?" Rarity asked, the kids shook their heads, "Come on now, into the shower, all of you." Rarity stated, and she and Sweetie Belle washed them, they were taken aback by seeing they all had black stains on their bodies and flies living in their armpits, "When was the last time you all cleaned yourselves?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Never." a male Bigfoot answered, she and Rarity looked on with shock, "Well, start cleaning, you can't go around the other countries all filthy." Rarity ordered as she and her sister washed them, dust and other trash fell out of the humans' hair, Rarity exclaimed and gasped when dead bugs fell out of a male Bigfoot's fur, she and Sweetie Belle used shampoo and mane conditioner on them and washed them thoroughly, they then used their mane dryers to dry them quickly, "There you all go, nice and clean, now wash your clothes." Rarity commanded, and they did as she and Sweetie Belle helped them, they brushed their leather outfits with toothbrushes and lotion to make it shiny, "There, now you all are ready to explore." Sweetie Belle remarked as the kids looked at one another, "Go on now, and tell the adults to clean, too." Rarity stated and they left. The kids came back and told the adults about having to be clean in the other countries and they did. The country's flora did not grow back, so Applejack gave some of her soil to the island so they can grow crops, they were given instructions and everycreature noticed they were patient in waiting, the flora began growing after about six months and the island was no longer a wasteland, they all began peaceful trades and the people who transported the island found new homes.
UtopiaVolvox was a very ancient being who has lived on an island inhabited by humans, cats, dogs, and various other monsters, the monsters all died out by fighting one another as time went by and only one demon remained after a while, the demon's name was Dommiel. Volvox eventually became the oldest living being on the island while Dommiel became the second oldest, this made them become the rulers, they decided it would be best to have the island become a peaceful and orderly kingdom, so they put every remaining human, cat, dog, and the five monsters still alive under mind control and live peacefully while the humans who disagreed were exiled. They cast their magic and made the island shaped like a big circle with gold houses and buildings everywhere, and every family had six members: a father, a mother, a son, a daughter, a pet cat, and a pet dog, they also cast spells so the humans were immortal, never age, and never had to eat or drink to survive or use the bathroom. The humans had light skin tones, black hair, males had short hair while females had long hair, and brown eyes, they all wore white long-sleeve button-up dress shirts with their collars buttoned down and tucked into dark blue pants, they also wore black belts, white socks, and black shoes while the cats and dogs all had white fur, the cats had green eyes while the dogs had brown eyes. Volvox became the country's emperor while Dommiel became its king, they appointed the oldest human as the prince, a man named Tom, he made public appearances while Dommiel resided in the tallest building in the island's very center and Volvox was nowhere to be found, "All hail Emperor Volvox." the humans said every day at 6 a.m. in emotionless monotone voices, everything was a normal day until one day, an earthquake happened, the plate tectonics shifted and they moved elsewhere. The world shook while the earthquake continued and everything shifted, everybody exclaimed as the plate tectonics shifted around and changed the formation of the countries, it went on for about a minute before stopping, "What in tarnation caused that earthquake?" Applejack asked, "Who knows, but it's definitely too big to be a natural one." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Excuse me, everycreature." Princess Celestia called out from the sky in her Royal Canterlot Voice, they all faced her, "I apologize for that earthquake, some of my students are trying new spells, some of them have just cast a powerful earthquake spell as part of their experiments for a school project, they did not mean any intentional harm to anyone." Princess Celestia explained, and she flew back down, "Well, there's our answer, some magic spell gone wrong in Canterlot." Rainbow Dash spoke, "I don't think it went wrong, Rainbow." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "*gasp* Look!!" Pinkie Pie hollered as she pointed, everyone did and saw Volvox's kingdom to the east of Canterlot, "Did the earthquake move that place here?" Fluttershy asked, "It sure looks like it." Applejack replied, "Ugh, it's all gold, they could at least use more variety in color." Rarity commented, "Well, we can at least greet and welcome them, come on, let's give them a welcoming." Twilight Sparkle responded, and they went into her hot air balloon and headed to the country. The Mane Six headed to the new kingdom and Twilight Sparkle looked on in awe at the place, "Everything in this country is nice and clean, neatly lined up, all buildings getting taller or shorter as they get closer or farther away from the center but still same size as the others in the same section as it, everything one color, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, this country is like a dream come true place for me." Twilight Sparkle ranted, "Ugh, really, dear, you need to be more open about expressing one's self." Rarity responded, "Yeah, everything being orderly like that is boring." Pinkie Pie added while saying 'boring' in a singsong voice, "We'll see how the people are when we get closer, the biggest thing I hope for is they're friendly and welcoming." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Same, I wouldn't want a neighboring kingdom or country next to our own to be unfriendly." Fluttershy remarked, and they kept going to the new country. They continued floating to the country and arrived, Twilight Sparkle gasped excitedly when she saw all of the citizens wearing the same outfit and cats and dogs looking exactly the same, "Everybody wearing the same outfit? All cats and dogs the same size and color as all the other cats and dogs? This country really is paradise for me." Twilight Sparkle remarked, the hot air balloon then got caught in an invisible barrier around the country and the six mares exclaimed as they stopped suddenly. Gold lights emitted from the country and scanned them, "Figures are quadrupedal and do not match the genetic and anatomical appearance of country's natives, entry into country denied." a male robotic voice spoke, and the invisible barrier went down while a gold electrified barrier appeared around the country, "Wait, we have to be the same size, shape, and color as the cats and dogs?" Rainbow Dash inquired, "It looks like it, or those bipedal natives there, that means none of us can enter their country." Twilight Sparkle answered, "What do we do then?" Fluttershy asked, "Well, I guess we just watch from afar and see what they do, we need to make sure they're not a threat, too." Twilight Sparkle responded, "So we go back?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Yeah, let's go to Canterlot and report to Princess Celestia." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they headed there. Tom was watching the six mares from Equestria leave while standing on the top floor of the tallest building in the country's center, "What do we do about them, Dommiel?" Tom asked, "Let's let them do as they please for now, they don't seem to be a threat to our country." Dommiel replied while standing behind Tom, "I was wondering if they'll try to take down our barrier." Tom brought up, "We'll have our citizens ready to fight them if they do." Dommiel responded, "Indeed, it may not look like it, but every citizen's a soldier in time of battle." Tom spoke, "I just hope we won't need to use our three monsters on them." Dommiel said, "Me neither, it'd be wasting their energy if they really are weaklings." Tom added, "Just let them act how they wish for now, I see no reason to engage in combat with them as of now." Dommiel suggested, "I agree, I think everything's going to be fine as of now." Tom spoke, and they continued watching the mares. The Mane Six arrived in Canterlot and went to go see Princess Celestia, they went to her throne room and bowed to her, "Princess Celestia, we tried to welcome the new country but were unable to enter it." Twilight Sparkle reported, "I'm aware, that country seems to put emphasis on everything being orderly, even one misstep out of their country's system would be considered a problem." Princess Celestia replied, "I really like how everybody and everything looks the same there, Princess Celestia, it looks like a good thing to me." Twilight Sparkle said, "No, Twilight, it's bad." Princess Celestia responded, "Bad? How?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "They all look and act the same because they lost their sense of self, they have no sense of individuality, they're acting more like machines than people, and they can't express themselves like how Pinkie and Rarity do." Princess Celestia explained, Twilight Sparkle's jaw dropped, "Not only that, their orderly paradise country is likely only like that on the surface, if you look into the country and see how things are within their government and politics, you will see the country's a mess, the emotionless expressions on their faces are likely masks of their true feelings, too." Princess Celestia continued, "So... what do you suggest we do, Princess Celestia?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Let's watch them and see how their daily routines are, it might be boring, and nothing happens, but it'll give us an idea on how the natives live." Princess Celestia answered, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, I don't feel like sitting around, watching a country while doing nothing for a full 24 hours." Rainbow Dash interjected, "You all don't have to do it together, just one of you can be enough if you can stay awake that long, but I do suggest taking turns, and have Spike and Starlight Glimmer watch as well to make how long you all have to watch shorter." Princess Celestia suggested, "Well, Ah guess it wouldn't hurt, let's gather up some of our friends and have them write down what they observe, we'll take turns too, the younger ones watch and observe durin' the day while us older fellers do it in the night." Applejack said, "True, come on, let's go home, we start tomorrow." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and they went back to Ponyville and got on with their days. The next morning came and the Mane Six got up and went outside early, "All hail Emperor Volvox." the humans all said together at 6 a.m. in monotone voices, everycreature of every country looked at them, "Emperor Volvox?" Applejack blurted, "That must be their country's ruler." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Maybe he's residing in that big building in the country's center." Fluttershy suggested, "I would think so, he should be able to see the entire country from there." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "We're here." Sandbar hollered as he ran to the Mane Six with Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream, "Wow, y'all six are early today." Applejack stated, "Well, we heard about watching and observing the new country, and we were excited at the idea of learning about the new place, so we woke up as early as we could." Silverstream explained, "You didn't have to come into our dorms and yell at us it was time to wake up." Gallus scolded, "Can you lead us there? I'm ready to start taking notes on the new place." Ocellus spoke, "Of course, we will lead you all there now." Twilight Sparkle responded, and they did. They arrived at a cliff that allowed them to see the entire country, "Okay, we'll take turns taking notes, you all can still have fun and play here as long as you work, and you all can take breaks, I would recommend all of you taking turns on writing your review, but how you go with it is up to you guys, we'll be here to take over and write down what we see tonight when you all are asleep." Twilight Sparkle explained, and she and her friends left. Sandbar and his friends began watching the country from afar, "I'll go first, guys, you all have fun." Sandbar spoke, "You sure, Sandbar?" Silverstream asked, "I'm sure, we'll all being taking turns anyway." Sandbar responded, "Alright then, we'll let you know when your turn's over." Smolder spoke, and they set up a timer to go off in 90 minutes and they began to play and have fun while Sandbar began taking notes. Sandbar watched the country while his friends played board and card games behind him, he wrote down everything he saw, he saw the men walking into various buildings while others stayed outside and polished all of the buildings while the women tended to the houses and the kids went to school. He watched the men work while the women walked and took care of the cats and dogs while they ran around freely and played with one another, everything was peaceful, quiet, and slow in the country. Sandbar yawned as he watched and nothing else happened, the timer dinged after 90 minutes, "Sandbar, you're done." Ocellus stated, "Oh, good, nothing happened, it was boring." Sandbar spoke, "Yeah, we noticed that from here, too." Gallus replied, "Yona wants to go next. Yona wish to get assignment over and done." Yona stated, "Okay, but don't go crazy, Yona." Ocellus replied, and she reset the timer. Tom looked at the six students watching and reporting what goes on in their country, "Let them finish, Tom, we have to let the other countries know we pose no threat to them." Dommiel spoke, "Still, I don't like having them watch us like that." Tom remarked, "Hold it out for now, if we can convince them we're not a threat, they'll leave us be." Dommiel stated, "I hope they don't attack us." Tom commented, "We're ready to fight them if they do, remember, Tom, you, me, and everyone else in this country is a soldier, everyone's combat trained if war breaks out." Dommiel reminded, "I still hope things can stay peaceful." Tom said, "Give them a day, if they watch us daily, then it will be a problem." Dommiel spoke, and they continued watching their country. Yona watched the country while her friends played and had fun, "Ugh! This is boring! How much longer must Yona watch?!" Yona fumed, "20 more minutes." Ocellus replied as she checked the timer, Yona seethed while she continued writing, the timer dinged after a while, "Finally." Yona commented, "I'll go next, I want this to be over and done with." Smolder spoke, and she began taking notes while the others had fun. Twilight Sparkle and her friends were in the Castle of Friendship and helping her go through her spell books, she also called Sunset Shimmer to help her, "What kind of spell are ya lookin' for again, Twilight?" Applejack asked, "A shapeshifting spell, if we can disguise ourselves as females of that country, maybe we can observe and make sure they're not threats to us." Twilight Sparkle answered, "You could've just asked Ocellus to try to change into one of their natives and enter the country, Twilight." Starlight Glimmer remarked, "Yeah, but getting her into the country would be hard, we don't know if they have anything that can detect magic or not, either, plus, Ocellus could end up in danger if she's detected." Twilight Sparkle responded, "So, the idea is find the spell, practice casting it until its right, and then check out the country and make sure they're not hiding anything dangerous?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Yes, everycreature is waiting for our answers, until we confirm they're no threat, we're can't sleep at night comfortably." Twilight Sparkle answered, "And you called me here because the country's natives look like the people from my world and I might have a better chance of getting the spell right." Sunset Shimmer deduced, "Right, but unlike your world, that country's natives all have the same skin, hair, and eye colors, we have to get the height and weight right too since the kids look to be the same height and weight as the other kids, same with the adults." Twilight Sparkle added, "That... might be a bit hard for me to replicate." Sunset Shimmer commented, "Well, keep looking, the spell should be somewhere." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they kept checking, "I found it!" Spike hollered about 10 minutes later, and he put the book on the table. They looked at the spell and Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer began casting their magic, they all got the spell wrong the first time and kept practicing for about 40 minutes until they were finally able to make themselves look like humans, "There, we got it, phew, that took a while, let's rest a bit, we'll continue trying to get the spell right afterwards." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and they did. The six students continued taking turns writing down what they saw in the new country, Gallus went after Smolder, then Silverstream, and Ocellus went last, the timer went off after she watched for 90 minutes, "Ugh, finally, the assignment's done." Gallus spoke, "Come on, let's gather together and combine what we wrote." Ocellus suggested, and they did. They put their papers together and looked at what they reported, "Wait, they're all the same, only two things we noticed in differences is the females go back home after walking their cats and dogs and the kids come from school about an hour ago." Gallus stated, "Yeah, that was a pretty pointless assignment." Smolder added, "Well, it's done, our teachers should be here anytime now." Sandbar stated, and they waited. About five minutes passed and they heard running, the Mane Six arrived, "Sorry we're a little late, we were busy and took a short break, we were looking for a spell and practicing it so I can try to disguise myself as one of the natives and enter the country." Twilight Sparkle explained, "You could've asked me to try to morph into one of their citizens and enter the place." Ocellus remarked, "I want to make sure it's safe first, Ocellus, I'm also going to see if they have barriers or sensors that can detect that stuff, too." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Ah, okay, gotcha." Ocellus stated, "Head on back, y'all, we'll take over observin' them from here, so leave yer notes for us." Applejack stated, and the Student Six headed back to the School of Friendship. The Mane Six watched the people in the country while struggling to stay awake, "Ugh! This is boring!" Rainbow Dash vented, "Yeah, nothing's happening." Pinkie Pie added, "Not only that, there's no one outside in the kingdom right now, I think all of 'em's asleep." Applejack remarked, they looked and saw the country was completely dark and quiet with no one outside and no lights on, "Yeah, I agree, come on, let's head home, I think we're done." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and they all headed home. Tom watched the ponies leave and he got ready to sleep, "Well, I think they're done, Dommiel." Tom said, "I think so, too, now, hopefully, they will leave us be." Dommiel responded, "I doubt it, we're still newcomers, and due to us not allowing them into our country to check it out, they're probably paranoid that we're hiding something." Tom remarked, "I figured, if they remain paranoid, I'll think of a way to try to reduce it." Dommiel responded, "There's also the exiled humans who have been trying to reenter our country." Tom reminded, "Well, they didn't like my and Volvox's idea of a utopia and try to prevent the people from fighting and killing one another, we also use mind control so they don't do that stuff." Dommiel remarked, "I don't hold anything against you two, I think that was the best decision, too, well, Dommiel, I'll go ahead and get some rest, goodnight." Tom said, "Goodnight, Tom." Dommiel replied, and they slept. The next morning came and everybody woke up early, "All hail Emperor Volvox." the citizens of the country said at 6 a.m., "Do you notice something strange in their tone of voice, Tia?" Princess Luna asked, "Yes, they're all speaking in an emotionless monotone, almost like either they don't enjoy their life there or somebody is controlling them telepathically, I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed." Princess Celestia replied, "Still, even though we can't enter their country, I'm getting the feeling they're hiding something." Princess Luna said, "So am I, their monotone voices makes it more suspicious as well." Princess Celestia spoke, "I hope we can find some way to establish trade and let us enter the country so we can really see for ourselves how things really run there." Princess Luna said, "Let's leave that to Twilight and her friends for now, we'll get involved if things get violent." Princess Celestia responded, and they continued watching. Twilight Sparkle and her friends looked at the country and got a good view on the females in the country, "Okay, we got our ideal appearance, here we go." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and she, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer cast the spell to disguise themselves. They focused and tried to disguise themselves as adult females, they tried for a few minutes and soon got the appearance right except for the hair and eye colors, "That's good enough, dears, I got some eye color changing contact lenses and mane dye that can take care of the flaws." Rarity said, and she cast spells to make their hair and eye colors the same as the citizens and made the three wear the same outfits as the citizens, "Okay, I'll go first. Rarity, go ahead and teleport me to the country." Twilight Sparkle instructed, and she did. Twilight Sparkle arrived in the country and saw all of the kids going to various schools throughout the land, the country went into lockdown shortly after she arrived with force fields appearing around every building, "Country's population over limit, outsider detected, beginning anti-magic, anti-hologram scan." a computer spoke, and a yellow light lit the country and Twilight Sparkle's spell was canceled out, "Outsider detected, beginning teleporting process." the computer spoke, and she was teleported out of the country. Twilight Sparkle appeared just out of the country and was in the water around it, the barrier appeared around the country again as well, she teleported to where her friends were, "Can't enter that way, Ocellus and the changelings' shapeshifting abilities will likely not work, either." Twilight Sparkle spoke, "So, uh... what do we do now?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I can have the animals go around the country and report to me what they see." Fluttershy suggested, "Yeah, I don't think so." Pinkie Pie replied as she looked on and saw the birds and marine animals moving away from the country, "Huh, I wonder what's going on." Fluttershy spoke, "Maybe that barrier goes underwater, too." Applejack theorized, "Maybe, but the way they're moving away, it's almost like there's some giant or scary monster in that country's waters." Fluttershy responded, "I can check if you all want." Pinkie Pie suggested, "It's fine, Pinkie, I'm sure the animals have their reasons." Starlight Glimmer remarked, "Well, so much for checking out their country." Sunset Shimmer said, "Let's wait for now and see what they do, I don't think there's anymore we can do on our part." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they got ready to head home. Tom sat at a table and wrote a letter, "What are you doing, Tom?" Dommiel asked, "I'm going to send a letter to those horses watching us, I hope this will bring down their paranoia and worrying about us hiding stuff a bit." Tom explained, "Good idea, since they're that paranoid, this might be the best idea." Dommiel spoke, "I'm going to leave you and Volvox out of the note, I plan to make it look like only I'm the ruler." Tom stated, "Good idea, but if they do find out, I'll explain that we are special exceptions and function as people who defend the country from invaders." Dommiel responded, "Sounds good, I'll start going around getting pictures now." Tom stated, and he headed outside with a camera. The Mane Six got ready to head back but saw Tom come out of the building in the country's center, "Hey, look, there's someone walking on his own." Rainbow Dash said as she pointed, they all saw Tom walking around, he looked just like the other males except his hair was whitish gray and he had wrinkles in his face, "Ah don't think he's Emperor Volvox." Applejack spoke, "I doubt it, he looks more like a representative for the country than its actual ruler." Twilight Sparkle commented, "Yeah, I imagine Emperor Volvox wearing fancy clothing exclusive only to him and being carried around by others while he sits in a palanquin." Rainbow Dash commented, "Ooh, I know, maybe he's the king." Pinkie Pie said, "I'm thinking he's more of a chancellor." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Or the regent if Volvox is still a kid." Fluttershy countered, "Well, whatever he is, I hope he establishes contact with us." Rarity stated, "Me too, let's keep watching and see what he does." Twilight Sparkle responded and they did. Tom walked around his country and took pictures of the buildings' interiors, he took pictures of the inside of one house and a school, he then went back into the country's tallest building and put the pictures and letter in a bottle, he put them in the center of his table while the building's roof opened, a launcher shot the bottle into the sky. The eight mares saw something launch out of the country's center building and landed in the water, it floated towards Equestria and they gasped when they saw it, "It's a letter!" Pinkie Pie hollered, and Sunset Shimmer brought it over with her telekinesis. She opened it with her telekinesis and they all looked at the letter while Twilight Sparkle unrolled it, "Dear, Horses, I am Prince Tom, spokesman and representative for my country's citizens. I have brought you all pictures to show you all that we are peaceful and not hiding any dark secrets, while I would like to meet you person, I cannot due to my country's laws saying we cannot exit the country alongside the population being required to remain at a fixed number at all times. We will have to exchange communication through letters due to our country being a utopia, and no foreign creature is allowed to enter. I am not sure as of this time if I can establish foreign relationships and trade yet, I will need to consult with my higher ups on it first." Twilight Sparkle read, "Look at that, we managed to establish contact." Applejack chirped while smiling, "We got something, but it's not much, I hope his higher ups do say 'Yes' to having a relationship with our country and we can spread friendship to them." Twilight Sparkle stated, "I wonder who his higher ups are." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, we got Emperor Volvox as one, and he's a prince, so obviously, there's also a king or a queen or both." Applejack responded, "We'll let them figure that out, let's look at the pictures he sent us." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they did. They examined the pictures closely and saw they were the interiors of their schools, homes, and factories, they were completely gold, one thing that caught their attention while there were males and females in the schools and homes, the factories only had males in them, "I guess the females don't have jobs in their country." Fluttershy commented, "Still, taking care of the house, children, and pets is no easy task." Rarity replied, "I'm not seeing any currency, either." Rainbow Dash said, "Now that you mention it, you're right, I don't see money in any of these pictures." Twilight Sparkle replied, "They're probably hidin' it so they don't get robbed." Applejack deduced, "I don't think so, Applejack, Celestia said all of the citizens seem to be mind controlled, so I doubt there would be any stealing." Twilight Sparkle countered, "Still, it'd be weird if they don't have any form of money." Applejack remarked, "Well, whatever the reason, they might have some kind of currency, I'll wonder about that later, I'll go ahead and write a letter to them." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she made a letter and quill appear and began writing, "Dear, Prince Tom, I am sorry for my and friends' intrusion into your country, I am Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship in the country of Equestria. I was trying to visit you all not only to welcome you, but also because a little while ago, our country had foreign invaders that were under the command of a person called the Storm King, he destroyed our country, trapped our rulers in stone, and enslaved us, so we were a bit uncomfortable about your arrival as well. The other countries are also watching us since we're the most powerful country around here and are on good terms with them, so we're checking for them as well, if possible, we would like to be on good terms with you all as well. P.S. Our kind are called Ponies, not Horses, if possible, we would like to know what your kind are called as well." "There, it's done, I'll go ahead and send it." Twilight Sparkle said, and she used her telekinesis to give the letter to Tom and moved it to their country's center building, its top opened and she lowered it into the building. Tom put the letter on the table and unfolded it, he and Dommiel read it together, "Oh." Tom and Dommiel said together, "No wonder why they're uncomfortable not knowing what's in our country." Tom commented, "The experience must've shook them, they must want to make sure we're peaceful and mean no harm so it doesn't happen to them again." Dommiel theorized, "I agree, hopefully, those pictures I sent them will relax them." Tom responded, "I hope so, too, last thing we need is war with the other countries." Dommiel added, "Well, I'll go ahead and write a short note to them." Tom stated and he did, he then wrote a sentence on a piece of paper and put it in a bottle, he then put it on the table's center and the launcher in the table shot the bottle out of the roof and high into the sky. Sunset Shimmer picked up the bottle with her telekinesis and unfolded it, "We are called humans." Sunset Shimmer read, "Sounds easy enough to remember." Applejack remarked, "I think that's all the communication we can do with them today, let's head back." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they did. The next day came and everybody got up early, "All hail Emperor Volvox." the country's citizens said at 6 a.m., "What do you two think Emperor Volvox looks like?" Scootaloo asked, "Ah don't know, maybe really old." Apple Bloom replied, "Yeah, I think so, but that Prince Tom guy looks old, I'm wondering how old Emperor Volvox is." Sweetie Belle added, "Well, Ah'm sure we'll see eventually, c'mon, let's go get a better view of that country." Apple Bloom instructed, and they got on a house's roof and looked on at the country. The Mane Six gathered together and got ready to head back with Spike, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer, but saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders trying to get a better view of the country, they went to go see them, "Apple Bloom." Applejack said, the three fillies turned around, "If ya wish, you and yer two friends can come with us." Applejack suggested, "Really?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Why, of course, darling, the country's pretty big up close." Rarity responded, "Come on, we'll show you how it looks up close." Fluttershy said, and the fillies followed them to Canterlot. The ponies and Spike arrived at the cliff and the Cutie Mark Crusaders let out sounds of awe, "The country's huge from here." Sweetie Belle stated, "See, told ya." Applejack replied, "Hey! Look, there's the old guy again!" Pinkie Pie hollered as she pointed at Tom standing on the center building's roof, "Excuse me, citizens, can I have your attentions please?" Tom asked, they all looked at him, "King Dommiel and I have discussed what to do with establishing foreign trade and relationships with the neighboring countries, we both agree it's best we do to prevent hostilities and reduce the risk of war breaking out, but we would like for you all to vote, we want to know what you all think about having foreign relationships, whichever gets the most votes will decide the outcome, voting will start after all of the men finish work today." Tom explained and the platform he was on went down into the center building. The ponies and Spike watched while the citizens got on with their days, "I guess they have some freedom." Twilight Sparkle commented, they watched the people get on with their days and they went to the center building in the afternoon and began voting. Everybody lined up in a single file line, "Wow, I didn't think they could vote, too." Spike said as he saw the cats and dogs were in the line as well, it took hours for the voting to finish and they all went home. The top of the center building opened and a platform Tom was standing on raised, "We have finished counting the votes, most agree on having good relationships with the other countries, we will see how we can establish the routes." Tom said, and the platform went down. The creatures cheered loudly while the humans remained silent, "Alright, we can establish trade, hopefully, we can form a friendship with them." Twilight Sparkle stated, "I hope so, too." Princess Celestia replied as she and Princess Luna walked to them, "You all have done well, me, Luna, Cadence, and the other country rulers will take it from here, we'll focus on establishing trade routes with them." Princess Celestia stated, "What we're thinking so far is have the hippogriffs use their ships to deliver the items, if that doesn't work, we'll try to use our magic to deliver them." Princess Luna added, "Head on back now, we'll let you know how establishing the trade routes go." Princess Celestia spoke, and they all left the area. Tom and Dommiel sat at the table together, "You have any ideas on how to establish trade routes, Tom?" Dommiel asked, "Well, I was thinking maybe having those horses to the west of our country using their telekinesis to move the items around." Tom suggested, "I'm thinking that's best, too, there's no way the foreigners can get close to us without setting off the barrier." Dommiel remarked, "Don't forget we can't leave the country either due to the law saying it requires a fixed number of people at all times." Tom added, "That too, maybe the best choice would be is to have them come here to us by ship, if they have any, and discuss trade routes and items to trade through the barrier." Dommiel suggested, "If anything, history books would be nice, I would like to learn about the history of this area." Tom remarked, "Me too, learning history would be nice, but other materials would be useful, too." Dommiel responded, "We can always use extra cotton, we're kind of low after making uniforms for every citizen." Tom stated, "That's true, we always have to make different sizes when we have a new child born to replace someone who has died." Dommiel replied, "I'll wait for a bit and see what the others do, I'll adapt depending on their decisions." Tom remarked, and he sat and looked at a map with Dommiel while planning trade routes in case the other countries trade by ship. The rulers of each country gathered in Canterlot and sat together, "What have you two had in mind for trading, Princesses Celestia and Luna?" Princess Skystar asked, "Well, considering they don't allow outsiders into their country, and it's surrounded by water, we thought about having you hippogriffs try to deliver the items with your ships if our magic doesn't work." Princess Celestia explained, "I think our magic should work since Twilight was able to use her magic to deliver letters to them with no problem." Princess Cadence remarked, "What about yak? How do yak deliver goods and do trade with country?" Prince Rutherford questioned, "We'll deliver your items with our magic." Princess Luna answered, Prince Rutherford smiled, "How are the people? Can they really be trusted? Us hippogriffs don't want another Storm King." Queen Novo said, "Well, they seem peaceful so far, they're not going around trying to conquer other countries, and we have managed to establish communication thanks to Twilight and her friends' efforts, they seem reasonable." Princess Luna responded, "Me and Cadence have been watching them from our homes as well, we can see the people of that country, there's no fighting or arguing of any kind, but we believe the citizens are being mind controlled to some extent considering they their 'All hail Emperor Volvox' every morning at the same time in complete monotone." Shining Armor explained, "That's been bothering me, too, it's almost like they have no freedom and someone is making them that way by force, my father was kind of like that, too." Princess Ember stated, "I never told you all to have no emotion." Dragon Lord Torch objected as he laid on his stomach, "Griffonstone has been aggravated by their morning sentence, we wish to see this Emperor Volvox in person." Grampa Gruff spoke, "I think we all do, but it seems we have to settle on discussing things with Prince Tom for now, we learned this morning there's also a King Dommiel, we wish to meet him as well." Princess Celestia replied, "Still, Emperor Volvox is still no show, my kind is starting to think he doesn't exist." Rain Shine remarked, "What? I surely would think he definitely exists if the people worship him." Princess Luna objected, "We know that King Dommiel exists since Prince Tom mentioned this morning he had a talk with him." Princess Cadence added, "I'd like to meet them as well, but I gathered you all here so we can go see them together, we will try to get as close as we can to their country and hope we can discuss things." Princess Celestia explained, "Still, it's unusual for a country around here to not have a monarch show." King Thorax remarked, "Yeah, it's almost like he's hiding deliberately, I sure would like for him to show his face at least once." Pharynx added, "Well, come on now, let's go see them, I think it's best we use a ship and sail there, but Dragon Lord Torch, you will have to fly there since you're too big." Princess Celestia stated, Dragon Lord Torch scoffed, "Yak will need ship since yak can't fly or walk on water." Prince Rutherford spoke, "Sure, we can prepare a ship for you." Princess Skystar responded, "Just don't stomp or smash anything." Queen Novo commanded, "Let's go then, I guess we all use the ship then." Princess Celestia spoke, and they all left the room while Dragon Lord Torch broke part of the wall as he crawled through the doorway, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna left last. The rulers went near Mount Aris and boarded a ship, General Seaspray steered it, "I see something in the water." Princess Skystar stated, they looked and saw two big glowing yellow eyes looking at them from under the water, "I don't recognize that creature." General Seaspray commented, "I see another creature there, too." Princess Celestia answered, they saw a long serpentine creature with scales of eight different colors wrapped around something under the country, "I can see another creature past it." Princess Luna added, they all saw a big human skull past the serpentine creature, "We'll ask about them when we arrive." Princess Celestia remarked and they kept going. The ship arrived at the country and Tom walked to them, "Outsiders detected near border, activating barrier." a computer said, and it came up, "Can you hear us?" Princess Celestia asked, "Loud and clear." Tom replied from inside the barrier, "Good, we would like to discuss establishing ways of transporting trade and goods to one another." Princess Celestia stated, "I've been trying to figure that out, still haven't came up with how to get our stuff outside our country, yet." Tom spoke, "Can't you use that thing in your center building to shoot stuff out of the country?" Princess Cadence asked, "Well, that's mostly for shooting messages in bottles to people on ships or nearby islands, it's not made for other stuff." Tom answered, "Well, it never hurts to give it a try." Princess Skystar stated, "True." Tom remarked, "Well, is there anything you wish for in particular?" Shining Armor inquired, "Cotton." Tom answered, "Cotton?" Shining Armor asked, "Yes, country's kind of low on that material for making clothes, we wear the outfits we wear because they're our uniforms, the law states everyone's uniform has to look the same, be made from the same material, and be the same colors." Tom explained, "Oh, wow." Princess Skystar remarked, "That reminds me, we would like to meet this King Dommiel and Emperor Volvox." Princess Luna stated, "Sorry, but King Dommiel is too occupied to make public appearances most of the time, and Emperor Volvox has no involvement with government affairs anymore." Tom responded, "Wait, so then, who handles all of the laws and foreign relationships of your country?" Princess Luna questioned, "King Dommiel, he is looking at the ocean and trying to think of trade paths by ships right now as we speak." Tom replied, "What do you do then?" King Thorax asked, "I am his eyes and ears on watching the citizens and making sure they stay safe, I am also the spokesperson and representative of our country's government, I'll be handling the trade of goods as well." Tom explained, "And King Dommiel?" Princess Cadence inquired, "He will try to meet you all in person if he has free time, after the trade deals are established, he will be signing documents and certificates to validate them." Tom answered, "So we're not going to be able to meet him?" Princess Ember asked, "Not at this time, no." Tom responded, "Well, we can provide you all cotton, as for us, well, we haven't decided what we want from you all, yet." Princess Celestia stated, "That's fine, you can decide that after the trade routes become official." Tom replied, "Yak will need to figure out way since yak cannot fly, use magic like pony, or walk on water like kirin." Prince Rutherford commented, "Leave it to us, Shining Armor and I will deliver your country's items to them." Princess Cadence responded, Prince Rutherford smiled, "I'll let you all figure out what you all want from our country, but as for us, just cotton as of now, you all can send me letters like how the previous group did." Tom said, "Thank you, but one more question before we go." Rain Shine stated, "Yes?" Tom asked, "What are those things in the water under your country?" Rain Shine questioned, "Those three are creatures that protect our country from foreign invaders, our land had more than just humans in the past, they destroyed one another through constant fighting, there are seven creatures that are not humans and don't fit into the criteria of our country's laws, so special exceptions were made for them. Those three under the country are our protectors, two more creatures act as Emperor Volvox's pets and bodyguards, and King Dommiel and Emperor Volvox themselves aren't humans, they became our rulers because they're now the oldest natives of our island with Emperor Volvox as the oldest and King Dommiel as the second oldest." Tom explained, "Why are you the prince?" Princess Ember asked, "Because I'm the oldest human in the country right now, the next oldest human will become the next prince after I die, those seven creatures are older than me, but their races and species have died out long ago, so they're the last of their kind, us humans, cats, and dogs are the only abundant species left on this island." Tom explained, "Ah, I get it now, makes sense." Princess Skystar commented, "We'll be heading back now, we know how we'll do trade, us ponies will use our magic to deliver the goods of our kind and the yaks, dragons, griffons, changelings, and hippogriffs can fly, seaponies can swim here, and kirins can travel on the water and come here." Princess Celestia stated, "That sounds good, I mean, it's not that far away for us." Princess Ember commented while smiling, "I think I already have an idea on what us griffons want." Grampa Gruff said smugly with a smirk on his face, "We'll hand you the documents after we make them for you all to sign." Princess Celestia stated, "Okay, I'll be waiting." Tom replied, and the ship left while he went back into his country's center building. Canterlot's printing companies began making the documents while the rulers told the workers what they would like on them, they signed them and the ponies then used their magic to deliver the documents to the country. Tom and Dommiel sat and read them together, "So apparently, those birds to the east of us want gold." Tom commented, "Well, there's not much we can do, we don't use currency." Dommiel responded, "I have an idea, Dommiel." Tom said, "Okay then." Dommiel remarked, and they continued reading the other documents, they read and saw the ponies wanted their outfits, the dragons wanted any jewels if they had any, the yaks wanted musical instruments, the changelings wanted their history books, the hippogriffs and seaponies wanted their jewelry, and the kirins wanted their art, "Well, it's quite a bit, every species wants a different item, we'll have to convert some of our factories into making those stuff." Tom remarked, "It'd be like old times before Volvox made this utopia of our country, it's almost like you humans are getting back in touch with your roots of art and money." Dommiel stated, "It wasn't just us humans, you demons had stuff like art and currency in the past, too." Tom reminded, "Well, I think we can manage this, as long as they don't ask for too much." Dommiel said, "I agree, having the factories producing them shouldn't be too hard, either, let's go ahead and sign them." Tom replied, and they signed the documents. The next day came and Tom was on the center building's roof again, "Everyone, due to us opening trade with the other countries, some of the factories will begin making and producing different items, we have to make jewelry, musical instruments, and art again, just like before we became a utopian country. We will also have to give away some of our history books from school due to some of the other countries wanting to learn about us, while the other countries will give us cotton in exchange for us to make the uniforms we all wear. We will try to maintain a healthy relationship the best we can, since we still cannot allow outsiders in, if they don't work out, the converted factories will revert back to making what they used to make." Tom spoke, and the platform went down. The factories began going under construction and the other countries watched, "Ah guess that country used to be just like any other country here back then." Applejack commented, "I still wonder why they became the way they are." Ocellus replied, "We'll learn when we look into their history books." Twilight Sparkle spoke, "Give them time, darlings, they have to get everything set up now, I hope things can get going and produced in six months latest." Rarity stated, and everyone got on with their days. About a week and a half passed and the trades began, Tom and Dommiel used their table's launcher to shoot the items out of the country while the ponies caught them in midair with their telekinesis, the items for their respective countries were taken by its creatures while the ponies used their telekinesis to deliver the country's musical instruments to the yaks. The School of Friendship taught the students while they looked at the humans' history books, "Okay, class, two big announcements today, obviously, we will be looking at the humans' history and learn about it together, and the other big news, we have managed to convince Kirin Grove to send one of their own here to the School of Friendship, everybody, say hello to Autumn Blaze." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and Autumn Blaze jumped forward and waved at everybody, "Hello, everybody, I'm Autumn Blaze, I look forward to being friends with you all. Kirin Grove has been wanting to befriend other countries ever since we stopped being silent and opened our borders to foreigners, Rain Shine hopes me being here will strengthen our bond with Equestria and offer our friendship to the other creatures..." Autumn Blaze rambled, "Autumn Blaze, I have to start teaching now." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Oh, sorry." Autumn Blaze said, "Go on and take your seat now." Twilight Sparkle instructed, and she trotted and sat next to Gallus, "Hopefully, we can get a human in our school, too, but it's probably going to be difficult due to their country's laws, but we hope that we can get one of them here and spread friendship to their country, too. Let's get started on today's assignment." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and they opened the new history books. Everybody read the history of the country with the first chapter dating back billions of years ago, the island was inhabited many different types of creatures, they all fought and killed one due to either needing food to survive, hostilities between one another, or wanting to become the ruler of the island. Volvox was born around this time and was a three headed quadrupedal creature, his kind also fought to be the rulers of the island and were killed until only he remained. Dommiel appeared in the books and was born about 1,000 years after Volvox, he was a demon, his kind also fought to be rulers of the island and were killed, they were also killed by being hunted as food. They read together and the students began yawning, "Okay, everybody, I think we'll stop here for now." Twilight Sparkle said while yawning, and they closed the books, "We'll continue tomorrow, but until then, school goes on as normal, dismissed, everybody." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they all left the room. The few days went by and everything was peaceful, "All hail Emperor Volvox." the country's citizens said at 6 a.m. daily, the days went on peacefully while Tom and Dommiel watched their country, "I got a note, that purple pony in the country to the west still wants us to send a human to her school to represent our country." Tom revealed, "We will have to decline, it will make our population go down from the fixed number assigned by Volvox as the law." Dommiel replied, "There's also the fact if we hold a vote, most citizens would not want to change that law, either." Tom added, "That, too, the citizens are content with that law, plus, sending a kid away would be distressing for the child and their family." Dommiel remarked, "People are okay with their lives here, too, and our schools are satisfactory enough according to the reports our citizens give us, even without the mind control." Tom added as he looked at the notes and voting polls on the schools being liked enough, "I'll go ahead and write a note to them saying we have to refuse." Dommiel spoke, and he wrote the note, put it in a bottle, and the launcher in the table shot it out of the center building's roof and into the water. The ponies saw the bottle drifting to Equestria and Twilight Sparkle picked it up with her telekinesis, she opened the bottle and unfolded the letter while she and her friends gathered around her, "Dear, ponies, We must decline your request of having one of our kind attend your school due to a few reasons. One is our country's law requires us to have our population a fixed number at all times, another is another law saying natives of the country cannot leave, and the last one is due to the distress the child and family will feel due to them being separated from one another far away and for a long time." Twilight Sparkle read, "That last reason sounds like an excuse." Rainbow Dash remarked, "It really does." Sunset Shimmer added, "Not only that, look at the writing, this don't look like Prince Tom's writin'." Applejack commented, "You're right, it must be King Dommiel's." Starlight Glimmer replied, "I still wish to meet him in person one day." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "Now, now, darling, I'm sure he'll show himself one day, just give him time and let him finish up with his job." Rarity suggested, "Should we ask them about their country's law?" Fluttershy asked, "No, Fluttershy, that is not up to us to decide, we'll have to let them sort it out on their own, all we can do is wait and hope they change that law." Twilight Sparkle answered, "And if they don't?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Then they don't, we'll just have to deal with it." Twilight Sparkle responded, "I mean, they're still new here and we haven't really befriended them, yet, maybe they'll change their law in the future to let us in after we've gotten along in a few years from now." Spike said, "I sure hope so, but until then, we'll just keep reading their history books." Twilight Sparkle answered, and they went back home. Night time came and it was pouring rain with thunder and lightning, everybody saw a light in the distance to the north, it came closer and everybody saw it was a big wooden ship with humans on it, "We found the country." a man said, everybody saw the humans in the ship were all wearing different outfits and had different hairstyles from one another, they continued sailing forward until a creature with glowing yellow eyes emerged from the water, it was black like a shadow and as tall as a mountain, "It's the Umibōzu!" another man exclaimed, the creature let out a very loud moan and then began swinging its arms down to destroy the ship. The humans screamed while the Umibōzu continued swinging its arms down and destroying the ship, water from the ocean began flooding the ship, it soon got destroyed and the humans floated around in the ocean. General Seaspray led a ship with hippogriffs on them to the humans and began getting them out of the sea and onto the ship with help from the seaponies, "Hurry! Turn around and head back to Mount Aris!" General Seaspray commanded, and the hipppogriff did. The Umibōzu moaned while it picked up a piece of the destroyed ship and threw it at the hippogriffs' ship, the unicorns used their telekinesis to hold the ship part in the air while the hippogriffs' ship sailed back to Mount Aris and the Umibōzu went back under the water. The next morning came and the ponies headed to Mount Aris and gave the humans clean clothes, towels, and food, "Y'all alright?" Applejack asked, "Yes, thank you." a man replied, "While I have seen many creatures in one form or another, that one from last night was like no other." Zecora said, "Who are you guys?" Rainbow Dash inquired, "We were originally citizens from that island, we didn't agree with Emperor Volvox's laws, so we were exiled, we lived on a nearby island until the earthquake shifted us around." the man explained, "Those humans on the island are our families and friends, they were okay with Emperor Volvox's ways, though they have freedom in voting and deciding the laws of the government, they are mostly under mind control, Volvox made them that way in an attempt to stop us from fighting and killing one another for one reason or another." a woman added, "Um... we already established trade with them and get along well, they did give us their history books as part of the trade." Rainbow Dash spoke, "So I assume you all are familiar with how Volvox became the ruler then." the man responded, "No, we didn't get that far yet, we're at the part about when he and Dommiel were born and the creatures slaughterin' one another." Applejack revealed, "Long story short, they all fought either for food, survival, or the throne, that creature that attacked us last night is the last of its kind." the man responded, "What was that?" Princess Skystar asked, "That was the Umibōzu, they are creatures black like shadows and tall as mountains, they lived in the sea and fought for dominance on the island, that one is the only one left." the man revealed, "When me and the other rulers went over to discuss trade, we noticed it watching us, we saw a big skeletal head and a long snake-like creature under the water as well." Princess Luna stated, "That skeleton is the Gashadokuro, it is 15 times bigger than us humans, they were one of the apex predators back in ancient times, we still don't know how skeletons like that are able to be sentient or even alive. The serpent is Yamata no Orochi, it is a giant serpent with eight heads and eight tails, unlike the others, Orochi has always been one of a kind, it's still around because it has proven itself to be too powerful to take down, Orochi is as old as Volvox himself." the man explained, "Wait, when we visited that country with the other rulers, Prince Tom said there was seven people in that country that didn't fit the criteria of their laws with Volvox and Dommiel being two of them." Princess Celestia remarked, "The last two are Phoenix and Thunderbird, Volvox's personal pet birds, they are big and look identical, but Phoenix is made of red fire while Thunderbird is made of blue lightning." the woman answered, "Where is Volvox? We haven't seen him at all." Pinkie Pie said, "Volvox resides in an underwater shelter, he has no power or authority as of now, he's mostly just there, it is Tom and Dommiel that are running the country." the man replied, "That's another thing, we're still waiting to meet Dommiel since Tom said he's too busy right now." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "Tom's lying, Dommiel never makes a public appearance, he's always in that center building watching the country, he only comes outside if there's an attack in or around the country going on." the man answered, "So... we will never get to meet Dommiel?" Princess Skystar asked, the humans shook their heads, "What are y'all gonna do now?" Applejack inquired, "We're going to rest and recover for now, we'll try again in freeing our families and friends from Volvox's and Dommiel's mind control afterwards." the woman answered, "You sure about that? That big black creature looks really strong." Terramar remarked, "It is, the Umibōzu is that country's first line of defense whenever invaders arrive, we still have to contend with the Gashadokuro and Orochi after it." the man spoke, "We'll see if we can convince the rulers about letting your families and friends free." Princess Celestia stated, "Thank you, but I doubt it's going to work." the man replied, "Come on, everyone, it's time to go back." Twilight Sparkle said, and they went back to Equestria. Tom and Dommiel looked at the exiled humans in Mount Aris, "So they finally found us again." Tom spoke, "It was a matter of time, we're going to have to deal with them trying to come into our country again." Dommiel stated, "I mean, all we did was tell them to live elsewhere if they're not going to agree with our laws, they should be grateful that you, me, and Volvox didn't decide to execute them." Tom said, "They're still natives and related to our citizens, Tom, executing them still feels wrong to me." Dommiel remarked, "I don't like the idea of doing that, either, but we might have to if things get really ugly between us and them." Tom reminded, "I hope not, even if we have to to stop them permanently from trying to come back, I'm still going to regret it." Dommiel responded, "Me too, Dommiel, so will Volvox." Tom added, "Our citizens are still free enough to recognize they're their former family members and friends, so of course they'll be against killing them as well." Dommiel said, "That's true, they're still their loved ones, even though us humans killed other humans very often back then either out of spite or try to become the island's ruler or ruler of the humans." Tom replied, they soon heard a ship coming and saw the other country's rulers on it, "I'll be right back." Tom stated, and he headed outside. The rulers of the country sailed on General Seaspray's ship and arrived near the country, the barrier went up when they were in front of it, Tom soon arrived in front of them, "Prince Tom, we need to talk." King Thorax spoke, "Is it about last night?" Tom asked, "Well, partially, we heard from those people on the ship that they're former natives of your island." Princess Ember responded, "They are, they didn't agree with our utopian laws and society, so they were exiled and sent to live on another island." Tom explained, "And those who are citizens in your country?" Pharynx asked, "They agreed to live like this willingly." Tom revealed, "Under constant mind control and doing the same thing every day?" Queen Novo inquired, "Volvox decided that it would be for the best, us humans fought and tried to kill one another very often back then for various reasons, Volvox and Dommiel put them all except me under a bit of mind control to prevent that from happening." Tom explained, "And those cats and dogs?" Princess Celestia asked, "At first, but after they got used to each other, there was no longer any need to mind control them, they are content with their current lives as well." Tom answered, the rulers looked through the barrier and saw the cats and dogs playing with one another and having fun, "We would like for you all to accept those formerly exiled natives back so they can see their families and friends again." Princess Celestia said, "If they're willing to accept our laws and adapt, they're welcome to return." Tom replied, "And be under mind control and unable to do what they want? I don't think so." Princess Ember rebuked, "We would like for you all to stop the mind control and let your natives have their free will back." Shining Armor stated, "And revert back to our warmongering nature again?" Tom asked, "Prince Tom, I can stop people from fighting one another with my magic, so you don't need to worry about that." Princess Cadence explained, "Hmm, I will need to speak with Dommiel and my citizens over this." Tom remarked, "Thank you, Prince Tom, we hope you can settle this peacefully." Princess Celestia spoke while she and the other rulers smiled, and the ship they were on sailed back while the barrier went down and Tom went back into the center building. Tom entered the center building and stood on a platform on the floor while the building's roof opened, the platform moved up and he stood on the center building's roof, "Attention, everyone." Tom said, the citizens looked at him, "We have been requested by the foreign countries to end Volvox's and Dommiel's partial mind control over you guys, and accept the exiled humans back in, I understand a lot of you would like to see your families and friends again, but are also comfortable with our current life, so we will hold a vote, it will be either you all want those exiled people back and end the mind control, or you all want to stay the way life is right now, voting starts after school and work end today." Tom spoke, and the platform went down. He walked to the table and sat, "Well, there's nothing we can do, Tom, our people will ultimately decide what happens." Dommiel remarked, "That's not it, I'm worried on how you, Volvox, and the other five creatures will react." Tom replied, "I won't get mad, but I'm worried Volvox might disagree as well." Dommiel remarked, "I just hope he doesn't take control of you and the other creatures." Tom stated, "Me too, but he might, I pray that he doesn't." Dommiel responded, and they watched their country. The Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Student Six, Autumn Blaze, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Sunburst, Pillars of Equestria, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Spike watched the humans in the country vote, "Well, I hope this goes well." Flash Magnus stated, "Me too, but I'm getting a bad feeling about what they're doing." Mistmane replied, "That reminds me, have you detected how powerful the mind control is, Starswirl?" Princess Celestia asked, "It's kind of strong, but we might be able to break it, and look right now, they're voting, I have sensed that they are being led where to vote through the mind control, but they're not controlled on what they vote for, they have free will in deciding that." Starswirl the Bearded explained, "I've tried sensing the kids when they're in school, they're mind controlled into taking notes, but they choose what notes to write down, same with tests, they choose the answer of their own free will." Sunburst added, "The cracks and flaws of their utopia are finally starting to show." Princess Luna commented, "Indeed, they are, not only do they forbid outsiders and foreign aid, but they will exile those who don't agree with their laws, I always thought there was some kind of problem with their country, and I now know there is." Mage Meadowbrook replied, "There's also this Emperor Volvox person, he has only been mentioned and has made no appearance, at least we know King Dommiel is there since we saw his writing and signature on the documents, but not Emperor Volvox, I'm beginning to think he may not be real after all." Somnambula commented, "I agree there, lass, and just like how they all say their 'All hail Emperor Volvox' every morning, I figured something was off by their emotionless monotone voice every time they say it." Rockhoof responded, the others nodded in agreement, "There's also their laws, they haven't gone into detail about it besides having to wear the same outfit, but from what I see, I think some of their other laws might be everybody needs to be the same height and same weight, and everyone have the same hair or fur color with the young humans having black hair and the old humans having white or gray hair." Scootaloo remarked, "Not only that, all of them have the same eye color, too, they all have the same skin color as well, and everyone's hair is the same length, I bet y'all bits that country only has two names, one name for all the boys, and another name for all the girls." Apple Bloom added, "Ah noticed that, too, Ah think it also applies to the cats and dogs, as well, they all have white fur, are the same size, shape, and height as one another, and all the cats have green eyes while all the dogs have brown eyes." Applejack replied, "While I do like their simplicity and their outfits overall being fashionable despite simple, I still wish they would have more variety." Rarity said, "Yeah, aside from the buildings being taller or shorter depending on how close or far away they are from the center, everything looks the same, color's the same on everything, too, even the buildings except the one in the center all look the same, it's so boring." Pinkie Pie added, "There's something that's still bothering me." Fluttershy spoke, "What's that?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The animals and people don't seem to age, I'm not seeing any stores or food, either, I never saw anyone eat or drink anything in that country, either, it's almost like they're more like machines than people." Fluttershy explained, "Now that you mention it, I've kind of noticed that, too." Rainbow Dash spoke, "Maybe they're under some kind of spell that's making them like that." Spike suggested, "It's possible, we already know they know magic exists, so maybe one of them knows a spell or spells to make the people the way they are now." Starlight Glimmer stated, "Now that I think about it, maybe we should've had Discord investigate the country for us when they first appeared." Sunset Shimmer commented, Discord appeared, "Oh, no, I most certainly couldn't. You see, I am sensing great danger from under the country, like there is some kind of giant monster residing there." Discord spoke, "Oh, come on now, Discord, you're basically immortal, you have nothing to be afraid of." Rainbow Dash said, "On the contrary, I am sensing some demonic energies from the top of that center building and right under it, the one at the top feels like a bunch of shadows, and the one under it feels like the flames like that of Celestia when she becomes Daybreaker." Discord explained, "You sure it isn't when my kind turn into niriks?" Autumn Blaze asked, "Or dragon fire?" Smolder suggested, "I guarantee you that the fire on Daybreaker is as hot as the flames of the sun, which is even hotter than both combined." Discord answered, "Still, it's a bummer we can't enter their country, I would've liked to have explored it." Sweetie Belle stated, "Me too, Sweetie Belle, it's my kind of country, everything nice and clean, neatly arranged, island shaped like a perfect circle, and everyone does everything in an orderly fashion, I would've adapted so easily to living there." Twilight Sparkle gushed, "I couldn't live there, I'd get bored quickly." Sunset Shimmer remarked, "Me too, same thing every day at the same time, what a boring lifestyle." Silverstream added, "There's also the mind control, I don't want any kind of mind control over me." Sandbar stated, "Me neither, I want to live as free as possible." Gallus spoke, "Can you guys please not bring that up? I have bad memories of being mind controlled." Shining Armor responded, "Yona bet country not look good up close." Yona spoke, "Probably not, I don't see any decorations on the roads and buildings, all of that gold would make my eyes tired, too." Ocellus said, "The way it shines during the day comes into Flurry Heart's room and the reflection has woken her up a few times." Princess Cadence remarked, Flurry Heart let out baby noises while frowning, "Hopefully, if they do vote to end the mind control, I hope they change the law about the population being at a fixed number so we can get one of their citizens into our school." Twilight Sparkle stated, "That would be great, Twilight, we will be able to spread love and friendship to them and make others a whole lot more comfortable having them around." Princess Celestia replied, "Flurry Heart has been wanting to meet the citizens there, too." Princess Cadence said, Flurry Heart cooed excitedly, "Let's head off to bed now, everybody, we'll know what they choose tomorrow." Starswirl the Bearded stated, "I hope they decide to accept their exiled citizens back." Spike said, "We all do, Spike, let's go now." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they all went home and slept. The next morning came and everybody of every country watched the humans' country with Tom standing on the center building's roof, "All hail Emperor Volvox." the humans all said in their usual emotionless monotone voices, Tom came up on the platform and stood on the center building shortly afterwards, "The votes are in, most of the humans have voted that we should to end the mind control and let the exiled humans back in, we will lower our barriers and let them enter peacefully, but be ready, people, you all may already know this, but Emperor Volvox will more than likely not be pleased." Tom spoke, and the platform he was on went down. The hippogriffs at Mount Aris put the exiled humans in a ship, "I'm sure you all know how to steer a ship, good luck getting acquainted on things back at home." General Seaspray spoke, "Yes, we know how to control and ship, and thank you all for your hospitality, we'll be off now." the man who spoke to the ponies yesterday replied, and another human began sailing the ship to their country while the hippogriffs waved bye at them. The ship sailed to the country and humans there were no longer mind controlled and waved at them, they got close to the country and the barrier suddenly went up. Everybody exclaimed in confusion and the Umibōzu emerged from the water while letting out a loud groan. it began swinging its arms down at the ship and the humans in the country tried to get through the barrier, "Volvox! This is what the humans want!" Tom hollered, an earthquake began and the platform he was on quickly went down, he ran out of the building and the ground in the country's center split open. The Gashadokuro emerged and roared loudly, the other creatures in the other countries jaws' dropped at seeing it, "That thing is huge!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she looked at the 90 foot tall skeleton, the Gashadokuro began swinging its arms around and destroying the buildings, it also picked up buildings and threw them at the humans trapped in the country. The other countries went over and began trying to help, the unicorns tried to destroy the barrier around the country, the Pegasi, dragons, griffons, changelings, hippogriffs, seaponies, and kirins helped the exiled humans fight the Umibōzu while also bringing the humans in the water to safety, and the earth ponies and yaks threw big boulders at the Umibōzu and barrier in an attempt to destroy it. The Umibōzu threw objects and fish at the creatures while the exiled humans fired their ship's cannons at it, it had no effect on it, it began picking up humans from the ship and threw them at the ship, they screamed while the unicorns caught them in midair with their magic. Fluttershy commanded her birds and marine animals to go help the humans and they began pecking and biting the Umibōzu, it swatted the birds into the water while the marine animals continued to bite its body, "Dragons! Together, let us breathe fire! That creature resides in the water! Maybe the heat makes it uncomfortable!" Dragon Lord Torch bellowed, and they all flew over and breathed fire on the Umibōzu, Smolder and Spike joined them. The Umibōzu groaned loudly and steam began to emit from its body, it got too hot and went back into the water while moaning, "Okay, it's down, onto the barrier!" Princess Ember commanded, and they did. The humans in the country hid under the rubble while the Gashadokuro picked up the buildings and looked for humans, cats, or dogs to eat, they all hid while everybody on the outside got desperate to destroy the barrier, "Twilight, Starlight, Sunset, come over here with me, Luna, Cadence, Shining Armor, and Starswirl." Princess Celestia called out with her Royal Canterlot Voice, and they went to her. They arrived in Canterlot and met up with the others, "We're going to try to destroy that barrier with our magic combined together." Princess Luna explained, "We're ready." Twilight Sparkle replied, Starlight Glimmer and Sunset Shimmer nodded, "Okay, on three, one, two, three." Princess Celestia spoke, and they all shot big blasts out of their horns and combined them together, everybody got out of the way and they hit the barrier, electricity appeared on it for a few seconds and it exploded, "Let's go." Princess Celestia spoke, and they teleported. The exiled humans sailed forward while the Royal Hippogriff Navy also arrived with their ships, the Gashadokuro began swinging its arms around and destroying every building and home. Twilight Sparkle arrived in the country, "Outsider detected, commencing teleporting outsider out of country. Error, teleporting device, anti-magic device, and anti-hologram device malfunctions." a computer voice spoke, she used her telekinesis to move the pieces of debris up, "Everybody! This way!" Twilight Sparkle called out, they ran to where she was and to the ships. The cats and dogs also ran to the exit while the unicorns used their magic to tie and restrain the Gashadokuro, it broke free from its magic chains easily each time. The humans arrived at the island's border but huge flames suddenly appeared all around the island's borders, the humans stopped running while blue lightning struck the island, they heard birds cawing near the island's center and the ground burst open, two big flying birds emerged, one was made of red fire while the other was made of blue electricity, everybody realized it was Phoenix and Thunderbird. Phoenix and Thunderbird shot fire and lightning out their mouths respectively at the country while Phoenix also flapped his wings around to create waves of fire. The kirins turned into niriks and ran through the fire around the island unharmed while the dragons flew past it unharmed due to their scales protecting them, they arrived into the country and helped Twilight Sparkle fend off the two birds. The dragons grabbed and restrained Phoenix while the niriks absorbed his fire, Thunderbird held his wings out and electrified the entire island, Twilight Sparkle quickly cast a shield around herself and the humans to block the electricity. The two birds shot more fire and lightning out of their mouths and mixed them together, the entire country caught on fire while the Gashadokuro was unharmed by all of the flames and electricity. The flames around the island got doused by Pegasi using rain clouds, they flew to above Phoenix and put a downpour on him, he screeched as he evaporated. Thunderbird held his wings out and screeched to summon lightning, it came down but got redirected and absorbed into a thundercloud held by more Pegasi, he held his wings forward and shot lightning out his feather tips, they got absorbed into the thundercloud, he and Phoenix screeched while Phoenix evaporated and Thunderbird got absorbed into the thunderclouds. The humans ran to the ships and got on, they began to sail away while the Gashadokuro got fully restrained and it roared. The ships sailed away from the island but more rumbling began, eight whirlpools appeared around the island, the waters rose highly and eight big, long, serpentine heads and necks emerged out of the water, they all roared while the kids screamed, "It's Orochi! Orochi has appeared!" a male citizen from Volvox's country exclaimed, the other creatures looked on with shocked expressions at how big it was along with each head and body being different, one was made of red fire, one was made of blue water, one was made of brown rocks, one was made of light pale green wind gusts, one was made of yellow electricity, one was made of brown wood, one was made of silver metal, and one was made of light blue flames. All eight of Orochi's heads began slamming their bodies down to destroy the ships and tried to bite anyone nearby, the fire head burned the ships while the water head flooded them and the wind head broke them apart, the lightning head leaned above the ocean and opened its mouth, he shot lightning into the ocean and electrified it. The unicorns fired magic blasts at it and tried to restrain it but none of them were working, the fire head shot fire at Equestria and Princess Cadence and Shining Armor quickly put up a barrier, the wind head made the debris in Volvox's country float around its entire body and then began shooting them at the countries and ships. Everycreature tried using everything they had against Orochi but nothing was working, "How are we supposed fight this thing?!" Rainbow Dash inquired, "That's the thing, Orochi has been too powerful for us to fight against even back then, the eight bodies are all different elements, the red one is fire, the blue one is water, the rock one is earth, the green one is wind, the yellow one is lightning, the brown one is wood, the silver one is metal, and the light blue one is void." a man explained, "Void?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "What's void?" Applejack asked, "Spiritual power, it's things that are not physical, like emotions and willpower, it is also known to some of us as aether." a woman explained, "Why don't we try using the Elements of Harmony?" Rarity suggested, "I don't think it's going to work." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Yeah, and there's only six elements for us, Orochi has eight." Rainbow Dash added, "Seven if you count me." Sunset Shimmer reminded, "But if we can get the Pillars of Equestria to join us, that'll give us 13 elements and maybe we can overpower him." Applejack suggested, Orochi's heads roared and the lightning head shot several bolts out of its mouth that floated around in midair, the earth, wood, and metal heads shot rocks, wood chips, and metal shards out of their respective mouths to pelt the ships, the wind head made debris fly everywhere, the fire head burned everything while the water head flooded the ships, and the void head shot non-elemental energy blasts out of its mouth. The dragons and niriks tried fighting Orochi with their fire and they noticed the metal head was uncomfortable, "Wait, that's it, maybe we can take out at least four heads, five if we're lucky." the man said, "What do ya mean?" Applejack asked, "In one of our element chart beliefs, fire overcomes metal, metal overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, and water overcomes fire, maybe we can use them against each other." the man answered, "Let's give it a try." Starlight Glimmer spoke, and they got ready. Orochi's heads shot out breaths of their respective elements at every country and the unicorns grabbed the fire, water, rocks, wood chips, and metal shards with their telekinesis and threw them, the fire hit the metal head, the water hit the fire head, the rocks hit the water head, the wood chips hit the earth head, and the metal shards hit the wood head, the five heads got knocked out, "What about the other three?" Pinkie Pie questioned, "There is no element weakness for them." a second woman answered, "What do we do?" Fluttershy inquired, "Pillars of Equestria, me and my friends need your help, let us try combining our elements together to overcome the creature." Twilight Sparkle spoke in her Royal Canterlot Voice, all six of them arrived with Starswirl the Bearded teleporting them, "Let's do it." Starswirl the Bearded agreed, and he cast a spell to get the Elements of Harmony and the Mane Six wore their respective elements. The Mane Six, Pillars of Equestria, and Sunset Shimmer floated up in midair and their eyes' glowed white, they all shot beams of different colors while Orochi's wind, lightning, and void heads absorbed the elements of the other five heads into themselves and shot them out, the wind head shot fire, rocks, and wood chips alongside its wind breath, the lightning head shot out water with its lightning breath, the void head shot out metal shards with its void breath. The eight elements combined together into one blast and entered a deadlock with the 13 ponies, a big earthquake began while they tried to overpower one another, the ponies sweated but they soon overpowered Orochi's breath attack and knocked out the three remaining heads. The Mane Six, Pillars of Equestria, and Sunset Shimmer floated down and panted while they sweated, "Is that the last of them?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No, there should be two more threats." Tom replied, "Volvox and Dommiel, right?" Starlight Glimmer asked, Tom nodded, "Well, it looks safe, come on now, let's take them to the closest country." General Seaspray commanded, and they sailed to Equestria. The barrier around Equestria went down and the ships arrived, everybody got off at Equestria's easternmost border and walked forward. Black shadows appeared behind them and everyone saw shadow-like wings going back to the humans' country, a shadow creature with a bipedal body, horns, claws, and teeth appeared in the sky, it roared while it twitched its head around a bit, "Look!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, "It's being mind controlled, it must be trying to break free." Starswirl the Bearded deduced, the creature threw its arms forward and black blasts shot out of its hands, everything the blasts touched got infected with dark energy. The creature flew forward and roared as it dived down and got ready to grab someone with its hands and feet, everyone sidestepped and dodged him easily while he twitched and struggled to regain control of himself. Starswirl the Bearded cast a spell to break the mind control and the creature regained control of itself, it transformed into a smaller form and changed to Dommiel, he sighed and panted, "Where were you?" Tom asked, "Under the country." Dommiel revealed, "We finally meet, Emperor Volvox." Pinkie Pie stated, "No, this is King Dommiel." Tom corrected, the other creatures exclaimed, "Where's Emperor Volvox?" Rainbow Dash inquired, "Emperor Volvox hasn't been seen in years." a girl from Volvox's country answered, "No offense, y'all, but Ah'm beginnin' to think this Emperor Volvox guy ain't real." Applejack commented, "He's very real." a man from Volvox's country interjected, "Then where is he?" Fluttershy asked, "Under the country, there was an elevator at the bottom floor in the center building that would lead to him." Tom answered, "Well, let's go, and Prince Tom and King Dommiel, I'm sure Princess Celestia would like to have a word with you two on running the country." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and they kept walking. Everybody walked until they heard a big explosion behind them and looked back, orange flames surrounded the entire humans' home island, "What now?!" Rainbow Dash fumed, "It's Emperor Volvox." a human boy replied, "So he's finally decided to make an appearance." Twilight Sparkle commented, the orange flames in the center rose higher and higher, it reached high into the sky and everyone saw a figure through it, "I have given you all immortality, I have stopped you all from aging, I stopped you all from fighting and waging war permanently, I used my magic so you all don't have to eat, drink, or have to use the bathroom, that by extension gotten rid of the need to hunt and kill your pets and one another, I preserved our old history for you all to learn your origins and taught you all well, I have gotten rid of currency so none of you would be swayed and tempted by money. I've given you all a paradise, and this is the thanks you all give me? It took me a long time to make the utopia what it is, you all should be grateful that you humans are still alive today." Volvox ranted in a deep, loud, booming voice, the flames spread out and went down. Everybody reeled back and dropped their jaws at Volvox's appearance, he was a 3,000 foot tall three headed quadrupedal creature, the right half of his body was made up of big gray bones with his right head being skeletal, the left half of his body was made of black shadow-like mass with his left front leg's and left hind leg's claws and left head's eyes being red, and his center head, spine, and tail were pink with yellow seven pointed star shaped chitin growing down his spine and connected by tentacles laying neatly down his spine, and a big yellow sharp pointed triangular tip on his tail with two more sharp tips on the back corners of it. Volvox used his telekinesis to pick up the humans and Dommiel, "I am not going to have you all spread your violent, warmongering ways to the other countries, I might as well make you all extinct now." Volvox's center head spoke, "Wait, Volvox, look at the humans you exiled, they were peaceful with the other countries' natives when they met them." Dommiel stated, "That's because they're still new, humans usually don't start their destruction of other countries and species until after the other species feel they can trust and befriend them." Volvox countered, "Volvox, please, give the humans a chance, plus, look around at the other countries around you." Dommiel pleaded, Volvox looked and saw the other creatures looking at him with pleading faces, "Very well, but if you start destroying stuff and waging war, I'm rendering you all extinct." Volvox warned, and he put them back down in Equestria, "I believe you should be punished in some form, Volvox." Princess Celestia spoke as she flew up to him, "Due to you attacking your own citizens, alongside us, and mind controlling your people, I believe you should be arrested and tried in court." Princess Celestia said, "What are my charges?" Volvox asked, "Attacking other countries, taking away your citizens' free wills, and attacking your exiled citizens." Princess Celestia answered, "Am I the only one being put on trial?" Volvox asked, "No, Dommiel and Tom will face charges as well." Princess Celestia replied, "Come on, you two, might as well get it over and done with." Volvox spoke, and he walked to Equestria while each of his steps made the ground shake, they went to Canterlot while the other rulers went as well, "Let's go, everyone." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they went to Canterlot. The trial in Canterlot began and Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom were on the stand, the trial took place outside since Volvox was too big to enter any buildings and unable to go to the courtroom, Volvox received the most charges with the ones Princess Celestia mentioned while Dommiel was charged with helping Volvox making the utopia and Tom was charged with lying to the other rulers on some subjects, Dommiel and Tom served time in a dungeon while Volvox was held with magic chains and shackles outside. The next morning came and all of the humans gathered together outside the School of Friendship, "Okay, now I can finally have a human representative in the school, which one of you would like to attend?" Twilight Sparkle asked, a human boy from Volvox's country stepped forward, "Oh, nice, I already have one who wants to attend, what's your name?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Tom." the boy replied, the other creatures' attentions were caught as their eyes' widened, "Hold up, how many of y'all are named Tom?" Applejack questioned, every single male from Volvox's country raised their hands, some of the other creatures gasped under their breaths, "What are y'all girls called?" Applejack inquired, "Mia." a girl from Volvox's country answered, "Do all of you females have the same name?" Sunset Shimmer asked, they nodded, "They don't even have their own identity." Rarity lamented, "Okay, first assignment for you guys, give yourself all different names." Twilight Sparkle instructed, and they tried while the exiled humans gave them ideas, they soon adapted different names, "Good job! Now, to change your hairstyles, the outfits will be worked on later." Pinkie Pie spoke, "I'll handle the outfits part, darling." Rarity replied, "For those of you who wish to grow your hair out, give it time, for those who wish to either cut your hair or tie it, we have the supplies." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she got them with her telekinesis. The human females began styling their hairs while some of the males shaved theirs off, the males with short hair just watched, "Okay, that's good, we'll continue tomorrow." Twilight Sparkle said after they finished, "Everycreature, make sure you share your dorms and meals with them tomorrow." Fluttershy instructed, and they entered the school and slept. The next day came and the humans were all in Rarity's class with Pinkie Pie as her assistant, she gave them sewing machines and instructed the humans from Volvox's country to make their own outfits, they finished and Rarity shrieked when she saw they all made the same uniform they were currently wearing, "No, everyhuman, you all are supposed to make your own unique outfit." Pinkie Pie instructed, "About that, this is the only outfit we know how to sew and make." a girl from Volvox's country explained, "Well, you all can start by making your uniforms from threads and cottons of different colors, I'll be able to work from there." Rarity said while smiling, and they did, "Very nice, now to make your outfits more different by adding various decorations." Rarity instructed and she and her students showed them how, "Um, Miss Rarity, is there a reason in this?" a boy asked, "Why, yes, this is to teach you how to express yourselves, and make yourself unique and stand out as an individual, living in unison and all being the same like how you were under Volvox's rule is something many people do not want." Rarity explained, and they continued class until it ended, they went to the other classes and Pinkie Pie taught them to open their emotions, Rainbow Dash tried to teach them how to have fun, Fluttershy taught them about other animals besides cats and dogs, and Applejack taught them the concepts of food with her apples. The days gone by with the humans from Volvox's country meeting with Starlight Glimmer for counseling and Sunset Shimmer showing them the humans of the world she stayed in, Volvox went back under his country after his sentence was over while Dommiel and Tom still commanded the humans, the Umibōzu began helping the ships sail through storms, the Gashadokuro became a tourist attraction in Equestria while it gave children piggyback rides, Orochi used its eight heads to rescue people drifting in sea from shipwrecks, and Phoenix revived himself naturally while Thunderbird's lightning came out of the thunderclouds and gathered together and they flew around the world. The humans eventually adapted and broke free from the habits Volvox's instilled onto them, they all began wearing different outfits, different hairstyles, and built houses and buildings of different shapes, sizes, and colors, some lived in the other countries while others returned to the island and lived with the other creatures peacefully.
New RulerVolvox was a creature who was one of a kind and mysteriously created during prehistory, he has watched angels and demons live on Earth alongside the trilobites and dinosaurs, he befriended a demon named Dommiel and they watched history pass by. They watched the formations of vampires, werewolves, trolls, ghouls, goblins, elves, fairies, orcs, dwarfs, ogres, cyclopes, giants, dragons, monsters, and humans appear and they would go on to rule the Earth, they have also seen aliens arrive and influence ancient human civilizations while also seeing mythical creatures and ghosts roam the Earth. Modern times came and everything was mostly peaceful until one day, the apocalypse happened, and a global catastrophic war broke out and decimated the Earth. The war lasted for several years and everything was destroyed, most of Earth's waters have dried up, earthquakes and sinkholes everywhere, air in some parts of the world were poisonous to breathe in, civilizations burned to the ground, radiation everywhere, nature contaminated by demonic energy, places haunted by angry and vengeful ghosts, and humans and machines from the future coming to the present either to destroy or protect others. Volvox and Dommiel were on a small piece of uncontaminated or haunted land with about two hundred humans from present day, a ghoul, two magic birds, and about forty humans from the future, they were protecting the humans from any threats that arrive onto the land while the humans' ruler was an old man named Tom, he fought during the apocalypse and was using a cane to stand, "Can you believe it's been five years since the apocalypse, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "No, I remember ancient humans predicting an apocalypse happening one day, but it was nothing like what they thought it would be." Volvox answered, "Well, some of it was, we did have demons to fight, but they didn't predict aliens attacking us." Tom added, "Some of them did, but look at our world now, we've barely got enough to provide for everyone, we won't be around much longer at this rate." an old woman said, "I'll try contacting some of the space stations if we need any food or water, but I doubt it'll be enough." Volvox spoke, "Don't forget that a lot of parts of our lands have been transported to parts unknown as well." Dommiel reminded, "True, I still don't know where they went, but my guess is another dimension since it is the demons who started transporting parts of our lands randomly with their magic." Volvox remarked, and everybody went on with their days until the ground suddenly became to shake, "Is it a demon?" Tom questioned, "No, I think it's our turn to be transported now." Volvox replied, and everybody braced for impact and their land teleported. Twilight Sparkle and every other creature of their world were looking around and murmuring while they saw various parts of lands suddenly appearing everywhere and they had jagged and uneven edges, "Another one appeared over there near the Bone Dry Desert today." Rainbow Dash stated as she pointed south, "I still wonder what happened." Fluttershy said, "Yeah, so far, everythin's that's appeared has been completely decimated and no people." Applejack responded, "That's worrisome for me, too, Applejack, it's almost like some big disaster happened and wiped them all out." Twilight Sparkle said, "Still, I wonder what could have done it." Starlight Glimmer added, everybody felt rumbling between Equestria and Griffonstone and everybody watched. Another land appeared and everybody gasped when they saw people on it, everyone looked at Volvox first, he was three thousand feet tall, three hundred fifty feet wide, three hundred feet long, had three heads with each head being the same shape with the back of his heads shaped like semicircles and the front shaped like two right triangles that were back-to-back and did not have any ears or noses, his six eyes were slanted and monochromatic and did not have any pupils or irises and were on the sides of his head. The right half of his body and right head were gray and skeletal with black holes in place of his eyes and white teeth, the five claws on his right front foot and right hind foot were also made of gray bones; the left half of his body and his left head were pitch black like a shadow, the head's eyes and teeth and five claws on his left front foot and left hind foot were red; his center head, spine, and tail were pink and made out of a parasitic-like skin, his spine had yellow seven pointed star-like organic matters growing on him and each tip was sharp, the tip of his tail was yellow and shaped like a spear's tip with sharp tips on the back corners, and the center head's eyes and teeth, the seven-pointed organic stars, and his tail's tip were all yellow. Everybody kept looking and saw Dommiel next, he was about eight feet tall and had a muscular body, he was wearing a dark blue suit of armor with three red-orange organic spikes on his pauldrons, a white spike on the back of each couter, white spikes on the back of his bracers and gauntlets, a white spike on the top of each sabaton and the end of his sabatons were pointed and sharp, his cuirass did not have any decorations on it, and his leg armor were custom-made, he had one piece cover his entire shins and calves, knee pads, another piece covering his entire thighs, and a piece of armor that covered his groin and butt areas, Dommiel's helmet covered his entire head and left only his glowing red eyes exposed, he had three white horns on his helmet with two curved horns on the sides and one straight horn on his forehead. The ponies noticed many more people on the new island but they were too far to make out, they also noticed everybody seemed to be struggling to survive, "Nobody looks happy." Pinkie Pie commented, "Well, considering how decimated the other islands are, I don't think they have any reason to be smiling." Rarity replied, "What do you think of our surroundings, Volvox and Dommiel?" Tom asked while everyone looked at them, "Well, I am seeing some hostile looking spots here and there, but this place looks mostly friendly." Dommiel responded, "Agreed, a hostile place would've attacked us by now." Volvox added, his deep and booming voice from his center head surprised everybody, "Be on guard, everybody, there's always a chance we will be invaded later." Tom instructed, the humans nodded and picked up spears made from sticks with rocks as tips and tied with vines. The creatures watched the people plant food and harvest fruits, vegetables, and grains, everybody ate everything raw and drank plain water, "Oh, it seems they have some form of civilization." Rarity said, "Ah can see that by just how they're dressed." Applejack remarked, "Come on, everypony, let's at least welcome them here." Twilight Sparkle spoke, her five friends smiled and went into her hot air balloon. The Mane Six floated near the land and everybody saw the hot air balloon, "Intruders!" a man said, Tom and the teenage and adult humans began shooting arrows, bolts, and bullets at them, "No! Wait!" Twilight Sparkle hollered, Dommiel shot black shadow beams out of his eyes while Volvox shot three big orange blasts of hellfire out of his three mouths and Twilight Sparkle quickly teleported herself and her friends elsewhere while her hot air balloon got destroyed. They appeared on the ground and the humans shot more arrows and bullets at them, "Wait! Stop! We come in peace!" Twilight Sparkle hollered in her Royal Canterlot Voice as she caught the arrows, bolts, and bullets with her telekinesis and put up a shield around herself and her friends, everybody stopped attacking and she put her shield down, "I am Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship of Equestria, I am here to welcome you all to our world." Twilight Sparkle announced, "Finally, a creature that is not hostile." a man with a gruff voice spoke, "Sorry about that, we went through chaotic times and have been jumpy ever since." Tom explained, "Are those other pieces of land from your world?" Rarity asked, "Yes, every destroyed part of land that has appeared here is from our world." Dommiel answered, "What in tarnation happened to y'all's world?" Applejack questioned, "The apocalypse." Tom responded, the Mane Six's jaws dropped, "Seeing how everything is destroyed except this land, I can believe that, just what happened exactly?" Twilight Sparkle inquired, "These demons used four items at once and it triggered a chain event, we were invaded by creatures and attacked all over the world, we were invaded by aliens from other planets as well, the devices that triggered the apocalypse were activated in two very haunted areas of our world as well." Volvox explained, "What kind of creatures attacked you guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "You name it, demons, vampires, werewolves, trolls, ghouls, goblins, elves, fairies, orcs, dwarfs, ogres, cyclopes, giants, dragons, other humans, mutants, monsters, ghosts, zombies, Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, Harvesters, Yautja, Terminators, Cenobites, Maykrs, Apostles, Daedra, everywhere on Earth was a war zone." another man covered head to toe in a strange suit answered in a tired and traumatized tone, "There were so many bodies everywhere when the Apostles came, the God Hand had them feast on my friends when they arrived." a tall, muscular man in black armor added, "I had fun during the apocalypse to be honest, it meant a lot of business for me since I was already demon hunting before it began." a man in a red coat with white hair said, "Wow, it sounds like something out of a nightmare." Twilight Sparkle stated, "It was a nightmare." the man in the strange suit responded, "Most of us still have nightmares of what we experienced, all of the elders, adults, and teenagers here fought in the apocalypse." Volvox explained, "This isn't everybody, though, there are also some survivors from our world living in other parts." Dommiel added, "We're still on guard because before we were transferred here, remnants of our enemies would attack us every now and then." Tom stated, "Wow, don't worry, we won't attack y'all, maybe mah family and Ah can get y'all some food and soil." Applejack remarked, "We would appreciate that." Tom stated and Applejack smiled, "Well, we're here to welcome you all and be acquainted if that's not a problem." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Very well, I'm Volvox, I protect this area from any dangers that come here, I was the leader of the fighters during the apocalypse, I have abdicated my throne ever since the apocalypse ended." Volvox said, "Oh, I thought you were the ruler of this place." Rainbow Dash stated, "Former ruler." Volvox corrected, "I'm Dommiel, I'm a demon who sided with the others here when the apocalypse happened, I was Volvox's second-in-command and last line of defense during the war, I've retired from my role in the apocalypse as well." Dommiel stated, "So some of you demons defected?" Fluttershy questioned, "Just me and one other." Dommiel answered, "I'm Tom, I'm a veteran from the war, and as you all can see, I'm old and crippled now, I'm the ruler of this community." Tom spoke, "Do you have an official title, Tom?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Chief." Tom replied, "Chief Tom, I kind of like it." Rainbow Dash spoke, "Who is that there?" Twilight Sparkle asked as she pointed to a ghoul, he was muscular, had light blue skin, white monochromatic eyes, a strong jawline, shoulder-length straight black hair, and was shirtless and barefoot and only wore torn black pants, he had bandages around his hands with five knife blades on each hand, "That's Giovi, he's not one for words, he's a ghoul who helped us fight during the war." Tom explained, "What happened to his hands?" Rarity questioned, "His claws got cut off and he replaced them with knife blades." Tom answered, "Any other person of interest here?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "I am the Count of Saint Germain, I'm a time traveler who can go to either the past or the future, I was the strategist during the war." a man in futuristic armor stated, "The Count of Saint Germain tried his best to stop the apocalypse but stopping the people who triggered it usually only caused other people to trigger it, he also warned us about the Terminators going to the past, that's why me and my group are here." a man spoke, "Wait, y'all are from the future?" Applejack questioned, "Yeah, turned out some AI has waged war against us humans many years in the future and a war between human and machine is going on, the AI began sending its robots back to our time in an attempt to make us extinct in the future." Tom explained, the Mane Six's eyes' widened and jaws dropped, "Oh, your world sounds scary." Fluttershy spoke, "It was scary." Tom replied, "So, any other people of interest here we should know?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "Quite a few, actually." the man with the gruff voice responded, "And you are?" Twilight Sparkle inquired, "Sebastian Castellanos, I was a police detective investigating a gruesome case when the apocalypse happened, the man I was after was trying to make his monsters come from his world and into the real one." the man with the gruff voice answered, "Oh, so how's that case been?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's still a cold case." Sebastian answered, "Cold case?" Rainbow Dash asked, "It means it's still unsolved and open, Rainbow Dash." Twilight Sparkle explained, "So, what about that man covered head to toe in that strange suit, is he a person of interest?" Applejack questioned, "My name is Isaac Clarke, I'm an engineer who went to a ship called USG Ishimura to look for my girlfriend, but she was already gone when I got there, we got attacked by Necromorphs on that ship, I was the sole survivor of the attack, I was found drifting in space and Volvox brought me here with his telekinesis." the man in the strange suit said, "He doesn't sound too good." Rainbow Dash commented, "He isn't, I know that tone of voice anywhere, whatever he encountered on there traumatized him, who knows what horrors he has witnessed." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Isaac wasn't the only one found adrift in space after getting attacked by aliens, those four there were found as well." Volvox stated as he pointed to a man, a woman, a girl, and a man whose lower-body was missing and had tubes hanging out, "Who are y'all four?" Applejack questioned, "I'm Ellen Ripley, I was a warrant officer on the spaceship Nostromo and we picked up a hostile alien, I was the only survivor, I was then assigned to go with the Colonial Marines to deal with an infestation for them." the woman answered, "I am Bishop, I'm one of the survivors of that attack." the man with his lower-body missing stated, "I am Dwayne Hicks, and this here is Newt, I'm the only surviving Marine from that infestation." the man answered, "You all were attacked by Necromorphs, too?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "No, what we encountered are called Xenomorphs." Ripley responded, "Eventually, the Xenomorphs and Necromorphs came to our planet, but there were already two hostile aliens on our planet before they arrived, those two there dealt with them." Dommiel explained as he pointed to two men, "Who are y'all two and what did y'all two encounter?" Applejack asked, "I'm Alan Schaefer, people call me Dutch, my unit and I were sold out by a traitor and we got hunted down by a Yautja in the jungle, I'm the only survivor of my original team." the first man answered, "My name is R.J. MacReady, I don't know what I encountered, but it was this thing that was able to impersonate other people and animals almost perfectly, there was another survivor with me named Childs, but he didn't make it." the other man responded, "Hold on, did ya say this creature that attacked you was able to impersonate others?" Applejack inquired, "Yes, it mimicked their voices and behavior perfectly, too." MacReady answered, the Mane Six looked at him with horrified expressions, "That's scary." Fluttershy said, "It really is, I really hope that thing isn't running around somewhere out there." Twilight Sparkle added, "So, moving on, you, in the black armor, what's your name?" Rarity asked, "Guts." the man in the black armor responded, "The last person of interest is right there?" Volvox stated as he pointed to her, "And you are?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Kirsty, Kirsty Cotton, I dealt with the Cenobites during the apocalypse, they're not like the other attackers, they can be reasoned and bargained with." the woman answered, "Even then, Kirsty reported that the Cenobites tried to double-cross her, so trying to bargain with them is too risky." Volvox said, "What about you all from the future? Who are you guys?" Pinkie Pie inquired, "My name is John Connor, I'm the leader of the human resistance against Skynet and the Terminators." the man from the future replied, "Wow, you all must have had it rough." Twilight Sparkle said, "We still do, us survivors are now plagued by nightmares." Isaac responded, "I'm not." the man with the red coat and white hair remarked, "Who are you?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Name's Dante, I'm half human, half demon, my father's name was Sparda, he's the other demon who sided with humans during the apocalypse." the man with the red coat and white hair answered, "A hybrid? Wow, we've never seen a hybrid person here before." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "Alright, I think that's everybody of interest." Volvox stated, "Wait, what about him? I'm sensing some monstrous energy from him." Twilight Sparkle spoke as she pointed to man who had short black hair, a soul patch, and brown eyes, he was wearing a white sleeveless shirt, orange pants, and white shoes, "Oh, that's Torque, he's not one for words, either, we're kind of nervous having him here because he's like a magnet to certain monsters, but we decided to keep him here since he's a survivor and had nowhere to go." Dommiel explained, "Wait, what do you mean he's like a magnet to monsters?" Twilight Sparkle inquired, "Exactly what he means, for some reason, monsters are attracted to Torque, wherever he goes, the monsters follow." Sebastian answered, "In my case, it would be because I have a mark that brands me and attracts monsters, but Torque doesn't, so I don't know why the monsters are after him." Guts added, "So, is this everybody left from that big war?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "No, there are more survivors scattered throughout our world." Volvox replied, "Well, can you all group your island pieces together?" Twilight Sparkle requested, "I'll do it after you all leave." Volvox answered, "Okay, I'll let you know where everything is at, me and the others are called ponies, that big land there is all of our country, to your rights are dragons and griffons..." Twilight Sparkle explained, "Wait, did you say dragons?" a woman asked, they looked and saw them. Everybody got ready to attack, "Wait, everybody, they're friendly." Twilight Sparkle spoke, the humans and dragons glared at one another, "Sorry, but we have very unpleasant history with dragons." Dommiel explained, "Well, can you all at least give them a chance, I promise you all that they're not destructive." Twilight Sparkle requested, "Well, Chief Tom?" a man asked, "Keep your guards up just in case." Tom responded, Twilight Sparkle looked at them unamused while she noticed Volvox and Dommiel were ready to attack the dragons as well, "Anyway, as I was saying, to the north of us there are the crystal ponies and the yaks, to the south of Equestria are the seaponies and hippogriffs, the changelings have hives all over the world, the Saddle Arabians live in a desert within Equestria, and the kirins are there on border to you guys' west." Twilight Sparkle explained, Volvox and the others looked and saw Autumn Blaze waving at them and smiling, "I'll make myself very clear, if any of you cause us trouble, we will attack." Tom warned, "Oh, relax, y'all, we don't invade, all of the invaders we had in the past have been dealt with." Applejack responded, "How many invaders have you all had?" Volvox questioned, "Nine." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Nine invaders?" Dommiel asked, "Nightmare Moon, Discord, Queen Chrysalis, King Sombra, Tirek, Starlight Glimmer, Stygian, the Storm King, and Cozy Glow." Twilight Sparkle listed, "If you all are done, we would like to get on with our days." Tom said, "Oh, yes, we are, we were just here to welcome you all." Twilight Sparkle responded and she teleported herself and her friends away and Volvox then used his telekinesis to get all pieces of their world's land and fused them with the land he was on. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were standing in Canterlot Castle and watching the new land while the humans harvested crops, the Mane Six ran into the throne room, "Princess Celestia, those newcomers are a bit hostile." Twilight Sparkle reported, "I noticed, but they can't be blamed considering the state their land is in and if their story about all of the hostile creatures are true." Princess Celestia responded, "They're struggling with the small patch of land they're on alone, look at the other parts of their land that have been fused onto theirs, you can tell by looking at them that they are uninhabitable." Princess Luna added, they looked and saw the barren parts of the land were dry and unable to grow any food and there was no flora on some parts and no fauna on every part, "I can't even begin to fathom how much destruction they have suffered, but if they really are the last survivors of their world, then they're not going to last much longer." Princess Celestia said, "Ah was thinkin' about givin' them some food and beds." Applejack spoke, "Let's see how they do on their own first, and if they're struggling, we'll offer them our services." Princess Luna replied, "Everybody, listen up, what I'm about to say is very important. We're not in our home world anymore, so we have to adapt and respect the cultures and customs of every species here, it's just like back at home, when you visit a foreign place, you must live as they do, and accept the local customs, this place is no different." Tom spoke, "Oh, look at that, it seems they have some understanding of visiting a foreign land." Princess Luna chirped while smiling, "They seem pretty hostile themselves, but Ah'll wait and see if they warm up, I don't think them attacking us will do them any good since there's only like two hundred of 'em." Applejack said, "Still keep your guards up, my little ponies, just because they're small and there's a few doesn't mean they're weak, I'm sure they have a lot of dirty tricks up their sleeves, most of them are survivors of a war, too, and that Volvox and Dommiel have powers of their own as well." Princess Celestia reminded, "So... just leave them be for now and hope they warm up to us?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I believe that would be the best course of action." Princess Celestia replied smiling, "Come on, girls, let's just get on with our days and leave them be so they get comfortable around us." Twilight Sparkle instructed, and they left while Princess Celestia and Princess Luna smiled. Tom and the other humans tried to grow and harvest crops and teach their kids how to fight and defend themselves, Tom taught them how to use spears, Guts and Dante taught them how to use swords, and Sebastian and Dwayne taught them how to use guns, everybody finished and Dutch taught them how to make and set traps for capturing animals while MacReady taught others how to use a flamethrower and explosives, "You have anything to teach us, Ms. Ripley?" a girl asked, "Not really, if Xenomorphs arrive here, then I'll teach you all how to fight." Ripley responded, "How about you, Isaac?" a boy questioned, "No, I'm not much of a teacher, fixing technology isn't a job for kids, either." Isaac replied, "It really isn't, one mess up, and you can lose your life." John added, the kids looked on with horror, "Alright, kids, I think that's enough for one day, go ahead and rest." Tom instructed, and they ran around while cheering, "You think the places where we encountered our respective enemies will be transported here?" MacReady asked, "I hope not, and even then, the place where I fought my alien enemy is destroyed." Dutch answered, "I wouldn't count on it, when Volvox rescued me from Antarctica, he said his two birds found a pyramid there where the species of the alien you encountered and the one Ripley encountered have met one another before and were at war." MacReady revealed, "That's fine with me, just as long as they make one another extinct." Dutch answered, "Same here, those Xenomorphs can rot for all I care alongside the Necromorphs and the Harvesters." Ripley added, "I already added zombies, Apostles, Cenobites, Maykrs, and Daedra to my demon hunting business, maybe I should add aliens as well." Dante suggested, "We would appreciate that, Dante, it would help if you fought the Terminators as well." Tom responded, Dante chuckled, "How many Cenobites have you encountered so far?" Kirsty asked, "Two." Dante responded, "I'll leave hunting them down to you since I can only vanquish them and not put them down permanently." Kirsty commented, "Holy objects are effective against them like many other demons, Leviathan is their master, he's a demon, so they would be considered demons as well." Dommiel explained, "I'd still take fighting a Cenobite over an Apostle any day." Guts said, "I wouldn't fight either, the stuff I encountered in Ruvik's mind was bad enough." Sebastian remarked, "What about you, Torque, what kind of monsters did you fight?" another boy questioned, "Malefactors, they're another type of demons, they are manifested from tragedies in a certain area." Dommiel answered, "What kind of tragedies?" another girl asked, "Any tragedy, crime, death, violence, you name it, most Malefactors form from executions and cruelties." Volvox explained, "But why are they attracted to Torque for?" Newt questioned, "That's the thing, no one knows why." Tom replied, "My files said the Malefactors began coming to Torque as soon as he set foot on one of the two places where the apocalypse was triggered." Sebastian spoke, "One reason why they're not on this island is because me, Dommiel, Torque, Guts, and Dante already killed them." Volvox said, "Thankfully from what I heard, regular human weapons work on them, so our makeshift spears and guns will be effective." Dwayne remarked, "We'll keep an eye on the new pieces of islands connected to us tonight, it's usually at night when the monsters come, so be on guard, all of you." Tom ordered, the humans saluted him and everybody went around casually for their days while Volvox and Dommiel watched. Night time came and Volvox used his telekinesis to carry Bishop on the other parts, "Any signs of radioactivity, Bishop?" Tom asked, "Not in this area." Bishop responded, and Volvox continued carrying him around. Bishop looked around carefully while all of the other humans except Newt had their weapons ready, he examined the places and listened carefully, he heard groaning and Guts grunted when the mark on his neck began to ache, "Be on guard, Apostles might be in the area." Dommiel warned, and everybody held up their weapons. Volvox carried Bishop away and they heard moaning, thousands of floating ghosts appeared and they charged towards Guts. Guts began swinging his big sword around to fight them off while the others tried to shoot them but their guns except for Dante's had no effect, Volvox shot big hellfire blasts out of his mouths while Dommiel shot shadow blasts out. The spirits began to possess people and the adult humans tried to force them out with their willpower. The spirits then began to possess inanimate objects and the spears, guns, and blades of grass began flying around, Dommiel tried to use his powers to get them out while Volvox's eyes glowed light blue and he tried to use his spiritual energy to destroy the spirits. Torque realized his weapons were not using and he roared while he transformed, he was now shirtless, had blue skin, a blade replacing his right hand, and claws on his left hand. He ran forward while grunting and began swinging his right arm around to cut apart the spirits, he also thrusted his left hand forward and impaled them with his claws and threw them away from himself and they exploded on impact, many more spirits came and Torque made two chains come out of his back and they went into the ground, they came out and spun around and any spirit or possessed object that got hit got destroyed. Isaac used his stasis module to slow down the possessed people and objects and Volvox pulled the spirits out of them forcefully and shot hellfire blasts at them and destroyed them, Dommiel grabbed some of the people and objects Isaac slowed down and pulled the spirits out by hand and ripped them apart. The remaining few spirits flew out of the objects they possessed and flew forward but Guts and Dante quickly slashed them with their swords and destroyed them. Everybody except Volvox and Dommiel panted and Torque changed back to normal, the possessed humans forced the ghosts out with their willpower and Volvox shot orange hellfire beams out of his six eyes and destroyed the spirits, "Is everyone alright?" Tom asked, they nodded, "Volvox, I would like continue my examination of the islands." Bishop remarked, and Volvox carried him with his telekinesis. Bishop looked around the remaining parts of the island and found nothing of interest yet, he kept looking and stopped when he saw something, "Volvox, there is a strange item under that debris there." Bishop said, Volvox put Bishop down and used his telekinesis to move the debris and picked up a cube with familiar designs on the sides, "No, it can't be." Kirsty remarked, "I'm sorry, Kirsty, but it is, a Lament Configuration, someone who lived here must've tried to summon the Cenobites." Volvox responded, "Let's put it under the ground with the other artifacts, it's unfortunate we haven't found a way to destroy them yet." Dommiel added, and Volvox did, "I do not see anything else of interest." Bishop remarked, and Volvox carried him back with his telekinesis and everybody except Bishop slept. The next morning came and everybody saw Princess Celestia rising the sun, the humans gasped, "No way!" a woman said, "They can control the sun." a man stated, "What's so bad about that?" Newt asked, "Don't you know what that means? They can fry us on a whim." another man explained, "Then it would best to try to remain on their good side since we now know we risk getting burned to death by the sun if we anger those horses." Tom said, "It also would've been nice if we knew that earlier, they could've raised the sun sooner to destroy those monsters that were attracted to my mark." Guts responded, "Hmm, true, that would've been really helpful if they did that." Volvox remarked, "Hopefully, they will next time, even we were unable to control the sun back on our home world." Dommiel added, "No point dwelling on it, come on, everyone, let's check our crops." Tom instructed, and they did. Everybody harvested ripe food, watered the rest, trained in combat, and checked their weapons, "Excuse me, everyone." Princess Celestia stated, everyone saw her and Princess Luna arrive and they landed while Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike appeared, "I have noticed you all got attacked last night and couldn't help but hear you all talking about the sun." Princess Celestia said, "The sun destroys those ghosts." Volvox explained, "So do the monsters only appear at night?" Princess Luna questioned, "No, most come out in the night, some attack during the day as well." Sebastian replied, "Hmm, I see." Princess Luna commented, "What were you guys doing with Bishop last night?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Whenever there is a new place, I am sent to investigate since some parts of our world are not safe for organic beings to be on." Bishop explained, "What was that you all mentioned? Radi... raid..." Twilight Sparkle said, "Radiation." Volvox spoke, "What is it?" Spike questioned, "Well, there's several types of it, but the one we're referring to is harmful to us, it can cause sickness in us and make us mutate." Dwayne explained, the ponies and Spike eyes' widen, "We're mostly here to make sure you all are alright after last night, we're also wondering what that object you all took last night was." Princess Celestia spoke, "That box is what summoned the Cenobites, I used one before and summoned four of them to our world, I never seen such grotesque looking creatures in my life." Kirsty explained, "What are they like?" Applejack asked, "They are practitioners of pain and pleasure, they also grant wishes but they come with hefty prices." Kirsty explained, "These Cenobites sound untrustworthy already." Princess Luna remarked, "Another reason why we're here is because we noticed Torque transform into some creature last night, we'd like to know what that is." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Well, we're not sure what Torque transforms into, we just call it The Creature, but from we seen, he seems to be able to transform when he's under great stress and fighting a long battle." Tom explained, "Great stress during a long battle you say, maybe we can help him." Princess Luna suggested, "And lastly, Guts, I would like to examine that mark on your neck." Princess Celestia said, and he walked forward. Princess Celestia looked at the Brand of Sacrifice on Guts' neck and sensed demonic energy from it, "Hmm, I can sense evil energy from this already, a lot, too, but maybe I can remove it with my magic." Princess Celestia suggested, "I notice some dried blood here as well, it looks like it's painful when the demons are near." Princess Luna added, "I'm used to it." Guts remarked, "Don't be like that, Guts, it'd be better to get something like this removed than to keep it." Princess Celestia replied, "Perhaps it will mean less spirits for you all to deal with as well." Princess Luna said, "You should get it removed if that's the case, Guts, it'd make night time safer for all of us." Volvox stated, "I'll think about it." Guts responded, "It's a suggestion, I'll be in my castle if you decide you want it removed." Princess Celestia stated, and she and Princess Luna flew away while Twilight Sparkle teleported herself and her friends elsewhere. The Mane Six watched the new land from Ponyville and saw Tom instruct everybody on what to do for the day, "How are things over there?" Apple Bloom asked from behind, they turned around and saw her with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, "They don't look good, Apple Bloom, they got attacked last night, they're growing crops and can only eat one small meal a day, I don't see any water, most of the parts of their land can't grow crops, there's almost no plant life and absolutely no animal life, and they said some parts are uninhabitable for organic life." Twilight Sparkle explained, "Are they friendly?" Sweetie Belle questioned, "Well, they're a bit rough 'round the edges, but they seem to be good people." Applejack answered, "I'm guessing we can't visit them." Scootaloo remarked, "No, no, no, you all shouldn't, as you all saw last night, that land is dangerous." Rarity spoke, "I wonder if they'll migrate to here." Sweetie Belle said, "It's possible, from what I've seen, they won't be able to live much longer if they don't, and we'll welcome them to live with us if they do migrate." Twilight Sparkle replied, "That would mean making new friends." Pinkie Pie remarked, "Ah know, maybe we can have 'em work on the Apple family farm." Apple Bloom suggested, "It wouldn't hurt to try, come on, Apple Bloom, let's get pickin'." Applejack responded, and everybody went their separate ways. Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, and Silverstream were standing on Equestria's edge and watched the new land's natives, "I'm scared to go there after what happened last night." Ocellus said, "Yeah, me too." Sandbar replied, "You all scared of little ghosts?" Smolder taunted, "I... I don't like ghosts." Silverstream commented while shaking, "Oh, relax, you all know ghosts can't harm the living." Gallus commented, "Yona believe those ghosts can." Yona reminded, "They can, we all saw it last night." Sandbar added, "I hope Headmaster Twilight has a spell, we've never dealt with ghosts before besides that one time when Discord became one." Ocellus stated, "Those aren't the things that scare me the most." Silverstream spoke, "What scares you the most then, Silverstream?" Sandbar questioned, "What I heard that scruffy guy mention, a creature they just call the Thing, he said it can mimic other people and animals perfectly, I'm scared to encounter that." Silverstream explained, "I was wondering about it, if it can mimic other lifeforms, then maybe us changelings can counter its abilities with our own shapeshifting powers." Ocellus suggested, "Yona doubts it." Yona remarked, "Well, let's keep watching them, we still got time before our classes start." Sandbar stated, and they watched the new land. Twilight Sparkle was in her castle and wrote a letter to Sunset Shimmer and asked her to come back to Equestria, she walked back and forth in front of the mirror while waiting for Sunset Shimmer. The mirror lighted up several minutes later and Sunset Shimmer arrived, "Twilight!" Sunset Shimmer hollered joyfully, she almost fell over and Twilight Sparkle showed her how to stand in her pony form, they hugged one another and let go, "Glad you made it, Sunset, I was wondering if the people who got transferred here were from the world you're staying in." Twilight Sparkle stated, "I doubt it, my world is still peaceful, and everything's still intact, there's no threat from aliens or demons, either." Sunset Shimmer responded, "I figured, come on, I'll show you the place." Twilight Sparkle said, and she led her outside. They went to Equestria's eastern border and saw the land, "Oh, no, they're definitely not from my world, my world doesn't have any creatures like that three headed guy there or that guy with the horns on his helmet there, we don't have machines like that human-like one there, either." Sunset Shimmer said, "Plus, your world's people sound happy, those guys aren't, especially that Isaac guy there, and that there is Torque, he's able to transform into some kind of monster." Twilight Sparkle stated, "I saw that in your message, I wonder if he's empowered by some kind of magic." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Maybe, I also heard them talk about the Malefactors which are attracted to Torque, we haven't seen any Malefactors yet, but from what we heard, they are born from hatred and tragedies, Princess Cadence and I are wondering if love and friendship can pacify them." Twilight Sparkle explained, "That sounds like a good plan, I'll stay here and watch them and see what they do." Sunset Shimmer spoke, Twilight Sparkle smiled and they walked back to Ponyville. Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, Giovi, and the Count of Saint Germain watched everybody and it was a normal day, an earthquake began and a big island appeared to the south of the world. Everybody looked and saw an island that was all dried land with a snowstorm going on and several domes, Volvox moved it to their land with his telekinesis and stopped when he saw mutants on it, they roared and started to go into the water. Ripley, Dwayne, Dutch, MacReady, John, Sebastian, and Torque fired their guns while Isaac used his plasma cutter, Giovi teleported around and slashed the mutants with his blades while Volvox shot hellfire out of his eyes and disintegrated them. The natives watched with surprise while everybody listened, they saw four people in hazmat suits and gas masks come out of hiding and they got ready to attack, "Wait, don't shoot." one man said, Tom recognized his voice, "It's alright, everyone, he and the other three helped us fight in the war." Tom spoke, "Come to our island and unveil yourselves." Dommiel said, and they did. The two adults and two kids took off their suits and saw a man, a woman, a teenage boy, and a toddler boy, "It's alright, everyone, this is Harvey, his wife Orchid, their son Nick, and their adopted son Lance, they helped us fight and survive during the apocalypse." Tom explained, the world's natives looked at them with surprise. Harvey, Nick, and Lance had the upper-right part of their faces replaced with silver metal and red robotic right eyes with Harvey's and Nick's left eyes were blue while Lance's left eye was brown, alien right foots that were dark red on top and dark orange on their undersides and black claws replacing their toenails, silver robotic left foots, silver robotic right hands, dark red and dark orange left hands with black claws, two bat-like wings coming out of their backs with dark red digits, dark orange membranes, and black spikes on their ends, there were silver robotic parts on the wings as well, they also had gills on the sides of their necks, dark red and dark orange alien abdomens with silver robotic parts in some areas, alien tails coming out of their tailbones with the top dark red, the bottom dark orange, and three curved gray horns protruding from their heads with one straight horn coming out of the center of their foreheads and two curved horns above their ears, all three of them were shirtless, barefoot, and wearing only torn black pants. Orchid had pale skin, an hourglass body shape, an inverted triangular face shape, green eyes, and red hair that was a bob and went just past her ears; she was wearing a long-sleeve shirt, pants, shoes, and a cape that went halfway down her back that were all a light beige, she had five small round jewels in the center of her chest on her shirt and formed a star, the left jewel was a red ruby, the lower-left jewel was a yellow topaz, the lower-right jewel was a green emerald, the right jewel was a blue sapphire, and the top jewel was a purple amethyst. The world's natives looked at Harvey, Nick, and Lance with surprise at their appearances, "It's a relief to see more survivors, my wife, son, and Lance here have been having a hard time surviving with the others." Harvey spoke, "There are others?" Tom asked, "Yes, they're in the domes over there, I don't have any exorcism or magic to conceal us other than making fog, so dealing with ghosts has been difficult." Orchid replied, "What are you all doing?" John questioned, "We were looking around since we heard noises outside, the machines are busy being repaired right now." Nick answered, "We also thought we heard someone calling for help outside but it looked like it was those mutants there were staging an ambush." Lance added, "I see, I'll go ahead and send Bishop to look." Volvox stated, and he picked him up with his telekinesis. Bishop examined the place while finding no forms of life, "There is a rather big crater there." Bishop commented, "That's where the alien Lavos emerged, he shot his spines out and made this part of the world inhabitable, no food can grow here either." Volvox explained, "Thankfully, we were able to heal ourselves with magic and preserve some food from other parts of the world, foreigners are coming to give us food, too, but most of us here have long passed." Harvey spoke, "Bring the others here, you all can stay with us." Tom stated, "We found a group of friendly survivors, everybody." Nick hollered, and mutated humans came out of the domes and walked to them. The world's natives looked at them with shock and Twilight Sparkle and teleported herself to their land with the rest of the Mane Six, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer, "What happened to you guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, "This is what happens when organic beings are exposed to radiation, they are mutated, that is why I am sent to explore new areas, us machines are immune to its effects." Bishop explained, "Can we change them back to normal?" Fluttershy asked, "We haven't found a way to." Nick replied, "Dommiel, Giovi, and I already tried with our magic to no avail." Volvox said, "My magic has not worked, either." Orchid added, "Maybe we can try with our magic." Twilight Sparkle suggested, "Why are you four out in the radiation for?" Newt asked, "I can shield myself from it with my magic to an extent." Orchid answered, "Me, Nick, and Lance are part human, part machine, part mutant, and part alien, it has granted us partial immunity to it, but we still have to wear suits to protect ourselves." Harvey explained, "What? Were y'all born that way?" Applejack inquired, "No, before I met Orchid, I was captured and experimented on to be a living weapon, Nick was chosen when he was eighteen, and Lance got taken when Nick escaped, I'm Ultimate Being One, Nick's Ultimate Being Two, and Lance is Ultimate Being Three." Harvey replied, "That reminds me, Orchid, we use magic as well, our magic is very versatile, it is powered by love and friendship as well." Twilight Sparkle stated, "My magic's not powered by love or friendship, I control the elements of nature, fire, water, earth, wind, and lightning to be specific." Orchid said, "Hmm, might be different from ours." Starlight Glimmer remarked, "So is mine, I use shadow magic, and Giovi there uses mostly telekinesis." Dommiel stated, "Your magic seems specific, too, Volvox." Twilight Sparkle spoke, "Yeah, fire magic, but not ordinary fire, I use hellfire magic, it is much hotter and stronger than regular fire." Volvox explained, "Do you have any parties in your place?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Not really, we do celebrate birthdays, but it's small." Nick answered, "What about the machines, do they party?" Pinkie Pie asked, "No, but now that you mention it, we should get them here to help defend this place." Harvey replied, and Volvox carried Bishop to the dome they were in and he programmed them, "It is done, Volvox." Bishop said loudly, and he took him out. Everybody heard metallic footsteps and they saw the robots and Fluttershy quivered, "They look scary." Fluttershy commented, "What you all are looking at are Terminators, we managed to reprogram some of them to protect us during the apocalypse, most Terminators also have human-like organic matter on their bodies to blend in with us, these don't." John explained, "It caused a big confusion at first when John saw me and thought I was a Terminator, I saw an enemy one and noticed their outside appearance looked like they were modeled after me." Dutch said, "What are you, Bishop? You don't seem to be a Terminator." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "I am an android, I'm also called a Synthetic and an artificial person, or AP for short." Bishop answered, "I think you all's world is going to be run by these machines sooner or later." Rarity commented, "It's already happened in some areas." John responded, "That reminds me, Volvox, we have contact with the UAC, Samuel Hayden is monitoring us from outer space and giving us weapons to protect us." Harvey stated, "Go ahead and try to contact him, let's see if he's been transferred as well." Volvox replied, Harvey nodded and he got a device with his telekinesis. He brought a portable screen and a button to press on it, he pushed it and the screen came on, static appeared and the screen fixed itself, everybody saw a white robot with a light blue light on its face, "Hello, this is the chairman of the UAC, Samuel Hayden." the robot said, "Hey, Samuel, it's me again, my land just got transferred to another world, some of the other survivors from our world are here, too." Harvey stated, Samuel looked around and saw the world's natives through his screen, "Hold on, I'll check my station and see if I've been transferred as well or not." Samuel said, and he gave orders and checked where he was located, "Yup, I've been transferred, too, I'm right above your land and still in space." Samuel stated, "How is the Doom Slayer?" Volvox asked, "He's just sitting around and behaving himself right now, but he's eager to get back into battle." Samuel answered, "Haha, I knew he would be." Dante commented, "Anyway, I've got things to do up here, so I'll be busy, so over and out." Samuel spoke and he ended the transmission, "How the Doom Slayer is still determined and willing to fight after so many battles and so long is beyond me." Isaac spoke, "No kidding, into Ruvik's mind one time was enough for me." Sebastian added, "I guess it's his natural character, come on, guys, let's get you all settled." Tom said, and they did. The new humans were informed of everything that has happened and another piece of land soon appeared to the south again, they looked and saw all forest and a yellow car driving around, "Wait, is that who I think it is?" Guts asked, the yellow car drove to them the driver came out, it was a man with short black hair, wearing a torn blue shirt, and brown pants, he had a sawed-off shotgun holstered on his back and a fake right hand, "So there are other survivors after all." the man spoke, "Who are you?" a little girl asked, "Name's Ash, baby, professional zombie exterminator." the man revealed, "He helped us fight during the apocalypse, he was best at holding back the zombies." Tom explained, "They're specifically called Deadites, but yeah, killing zombies is basically my specialty." Ash said, "All survivors are gathering here, Ash, you're welcome to stay if you have nowhere to go." Volvox spoke, "Thanks, my car's getting low on gas anyway." Ash spoke, and he parked his car and came out. Ash got his chainsaw out of his car and then began examining his shotgun, "How have things been for you, Ash?" Kirsty asked, "Not so good, ever since I escaped the cabin, I went back to working as a store clerk and more monsters attacked, I escaped since my boomstick and chainsaw aren't effective on some of them." Ash explained, "Did you see my partners, Leslie, or Ruvik there?" Sebastian asked, "Sorry, but no." Ash answered, another land appeared to the south and everybody looked. They saw black masses with red outlines everywhere on the land, "What the?" Newt exclaimed, "The land's cursed." Dommiel answered, everybody looked at it and saw everything looked dead and scrolls were floating around, "What do you think, Cadence?" Shining Armor questioned, "I can tell it's dangerous by just looking at it, but I don't think I can cure that type of curse." Princess Cadence answered, Flurry Heart cooed while holding her hooves out, "I'm sorry, Flurry Heart, but you saw the place, it's dangerous, we can't risk going there because of the radiation." Princess Cadence spoke, Flurry Heart looked down, "Hmm, that cursed land looks similar to Sombra's dark magic, I'm wondering if I have spells that can undo it." Sunburst commented, "Do you have any ideas on how to cure the curse, Orchid?" Lance questioned, "Yes, I do, see that dead tree there? That's a magically enchanted tree, it has to bloom again to destroy this curse, but I do not have the magic or spell to do it myself." Orchid explained, "What do we do then?" Dwayne asked, "I'll keep it away from our land for now." Volvox responded, and everybody got on with their days. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna looked at the cursed land along with the Mane Six, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, the Young Six, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Spike, "You think you can undo it, Princess Celestia?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I'm not sure, I can sense a malevolent energy from it all the way here, it seems to be a bit similar to King Sombra's dark magic, but it also seems to be a bit different." Princess Celestia explained, "If what Orchid said is true, then we need to get that tree to bloom, but we have to find a way to revive it first." Princess Luna stated, "I'm sure Twilight has a spell for it." Sandbar said, "I do, but getting to the tree is going to be the hard part." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I'm hoping there's someone there who can make the tree bloom." Silverstream spoke, "Me too, but I don't see anybody." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Ah wonder if it's like the Tree of Harmony." Apple Bloom commented, Discord appeared with them, "Oh, no, it most certainly is not, that tree there simply undoes the evil energy there." Discord explained, "And how do ya know that?" Applejack inquired, "Your dear friend Pinkie Pie knows the answer." Discord responded, "I think we might be able to fly over the cursed parts to the tree." Gallus suggested, "No, Gallus, look, the cursed energy goes into the sky as well." Princess Luna replied, he looked and saw faint vapors in the sky, "So, what do we do?" Ocellus asked, "Let's wait and see if they have something to help them, if not, we'll try to get rid of the evil energy." Princess Celestia stated, and they continued watching. Volvox looked at the cursed land and turned back, "Phoenix, Thunderbird, we need your helps." Volvox said, and red fire and blue lightning burst out of the ground and they formed into two birds that flew in the sky, "I need you two to examine that new land there and see if there's anything that can undo the curse." Volvox explained and they flew. Phoenix and Thunderbird flew up high into the air and looked at the cursed land and examined it closely, demonic fish flew out of the water and attacked them, Phoenix shot fireballs out of his mouth while Thunderbird shot lightning bolts out of his, Volvox shot three hellfire blasts out of his mouths and into the water, the demonic fish turned into ash and fell while more ash came to the surface. Phoenix and Thunderbird flew around more and crows wearing Japanese clothing and wielding katanas appeared, they got ready to fight but a reflector appeared and they turned into flowers and disappeared when the wind blew. Everybody heard running on the cursed island and saw an adult wolf with white fur, red markings, and a reflector on her back, "It's Amaterasu." a middle aged woman said, "She helped us a lot in fighting the monsters and demons, she's a veteran from the apocalypse as well." Dante explained to the kids, Amaterasu then proceeded to paint black ink around the big tree with her tail and it bloomed, flowers appeared and spread out and the cursed energy disappeared while all of nature came back, the ponies watched with awe at what they saw. Amaterasu ran to the others and the adults patted her head, "Good to have you back, Amaterasu." Tom commented, Amaterasu barked, "Is that you, Tom, you really have gotten old, gramps." a boy as small as a bug with a green light around him stated, "I see you're well, too, Issun." Tom remarked dryly, "Ammy and I have been traveling from place to place and dealing with monsters and curses, but there are some where her celestial brush techniques don't work on." Issun said, "Didn't think so, Dante and Guts will deal with them, Dommiel's there to help us, too, and Orchid's there." Tom said as he pointed to them, "Is there anyone else in the land there?" Volvox called out, everybody heard flying and saw a big moth and a big pterandon flying to them, "Look! It's Mothra." a little girl chirped, "It's good to see Rodan's doing fine, too." a teenage boy replied, everybody heard loud thuds and a big dinosaur-like creature came out of an underground cave, "Who is that?" a little boy asked, "That's Anguirus, he's another veteran from the apocalypse." Tom explained, and he walked forward, "Guys! There's someone huge in the water here." Princess Skystar called out, Volvox looked and saw him, "It's no use hiding, Godzilla, I can see you from here." Volvox called and Godzilla walked onto the land and roared, "So, is this all of the veterans?" Newt questioned, "No, there's two more prominent ones, they're both secluded." Volvox answered, and he then connected the no longer cursed island to their land. He then sent Bishop forward with his telekinesis to look for any survivors, "Ammy and I got an animal shelter started." Issun stated, "Where is it?" Bishop asked, Amaterasu ran and Volvox carried Bishop behind her, they found the animal shelter and Amaterasu led them to the new land, the various animals looked around, "Look at that, there are surviving animals after all." Dommiel commented, "Won't be surprised if they're the last of their kinds." Volvox responded, and everybody watched while Amaterasu fed the animals and the newcomers adjusted. Night time came and everybody was on alert, they heard blades scraping on the new islands and everyone saw monsters with blades replacing their hands and feet coming, "Malefactors!" one man yelled, Torque ran forward while holding two revolvers and began shooting them, he killed several and monsters with gun turrets on their backs burst out of the ground. They crouched and began firing their gun turrets at Torque while he rolled around, he grunted and fell when one hit him, he heard walking in the waters and saw bloated monsters holding metal balls emerging from the sea. Volvox shot hellfire blasts out of his front feet while Dommiel shot big shadow blasts out of his hands, Harvey, Nick, and Lance shot red lasers out of their right hands, Orchid shot fire out of her ring fingers, water out of her index fingers, a yellow beam and rocks out of her pinkies, wind out of her thumbs, and lightning out of her middle fingers, and everybody else but Guts and Amaterasu fired their guns while Kirsty kept the children away from the monsters. Guts slashed the Malefactors with his sword while grunting loudly and angrily and Amaterasu used her reflector, Dante used his sword when the monsters got too close to him for him to use his two pistols, Ash fired his boomstick and reloaded after every two shots, he used the chainsaw replacing his right hand when the monsters were near him. Giovi slashed the Malefactors walking to the land and their stomachs opened, explosive rats came out and ran to them, Volvox shot hellfire blasts and Godzilla shot his blue atomic breath out of their mouths and destroyed the Malefactors while some of the ones with bladed limbs came back to life, "What the?" a man asked, "You have to destroy their heads." Dommiel explained, and everybody did. A Malefactor with bladed limbs in black armor and smoke around it appeared and began attacking Torque. Torque grunted and got back up, the Malefactor pressed its arm blades on the ground and three more Malefactors with bladed limbs came out, he fought them while the other humans tried shooting the black armored Malefactor but their bullets bounced off, "It's no use, everyone, only Torque's Creature form works against that type." Volvox stated, Mothra shot a blast out of her antennae at the Malefactor and it had no effect. Torque roared angrily and transformed into The Creature, the Malefactor hissed while holding its arms up. Torque grunted while swinging his bladed right arm around and cut it into pieces, he then looked at the big Malefactors coming from the water and bent down, three machine guns came out of his back and they fired and every Malefactor around him exploded, he then roared again and changed back to normal, "I think that's all of them." Guts stated, "Come on, everyone, bedtime, we'll rebuild in the morning." Tom said, and everybody went to sleep while the world's natives watched them worriedly. Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Harvey, Orchid, Nick, Lance, Ripley, Newt, Dwayne, Dutch, John, MacReady, Kirsty, Ash, Godzilla, Anguirus, Mothra, Rodan, Guts, Isaac, Torque, Sebastian, Dante, Amaterasu, Issun, and the older members of the land all tossed and turned while they had nightmares, they sprung awake covered in cold sweat while Torque screamed and everyone tried to wake him up, he eventually woke up and panted heavily. They all looked around and saw themselves in the peaceful world and took deep breaths, "Are you all okay?" a young girl asked, "Yeah, hold on, we'll harvest crops and water them when we recover." Tom responded, and they calmed down. The humans harvested crops and Orchid watered them with her magic, "Look at that, we're still having nightmares of the apocalypse." Dommiel said, "I think all of us were traumatized by that war." Dante replied, "Come on, everyone, there's nothing we can do but keep moving forward." Tom stated, and they got on with their days. Mothra and Amaterasu checked the remaining land for any survivors or items of interest, Mothra found no survivors while Amaterasu dug the ground and she barked, "What is it?" Dwayne asked, Amaterasu put her head in the hole and check out an egg shaped item with her mouth, "What the? No way." Guts commented, Volvox took the item with his telekinesis, "A Beherit? Here?" Volvox questioned, "We have to destroy it, Volvox!" Guts demanded, "I know, but we haven't found anything that works yet." Volvox responded, "Excuse me." Princess Celestia said from above and everyone saw her, "Since you all want to destroy it, I would like to know what it does." Princess Celestia stated, "They summon a group called the God Hand, they're the five rulers of the Apostles, Guts' mark hurts like crazy when they're near, this item is one of the four items that triggered the apocalypse back on our world." the Count of Saint Germain explained, "I'll bury it for now." Volvox commented, and he put it under the ground and Princess Celestia flew back. Everybody got on with their days like normal until another island appeared to the south, it was snowing and a wooden cabin was there, the door opened and an old man with short white hair and a moustache came out, "Wait, is that Snake?" Ripley asked, "It is." Volvox answered, "Wow, he has aged." Dommiel added, and Volvox moved the island to connect it to theirs. Snake walked to them, "I'm surprised to see more survivors of the apocalypse." Snake remarked, "Who is this?" a boy asked, "Solid Snake, he's one of the last two prominent veterans from the apocalypse, he was vital in helping us fight the aliens." a middle aged man responded, "What happened to you, Snake?" Tom asked, "Accelerated aging." Snake answered, "I figured, considering you're a clone, you would age faster than the person you were cloned from." Harvey commented, "I thought I was the last survivor, I don't have contact with anyone, there's no people where I live, either." Snake said, "I'd like for you to stay with us, Snake, we're trying to rebuild and survive, we can use your skills in fighting off the monsters attacking us at night." Tom spoke, "I'll do it." Snake replied, "Thank you, Snake, I hope you like it here." Tom commented, and Snake walked to them, "Whoa there, Snake, every other place except here is teeming with radiation, I'll bring you over." Volvox said, and he brought Snake over with his telekinesis. Snake got to know new people while also reuniting with Ripley, Newt, Dwayne, Bishop, Dutch, MacReady, John, Harvey, Orchid, Nick, and Lance, "Got Terminators reprogrammed, huh?" Snake commented, "Yeah, but these are the only ones from where we're from." Nick stated, "Still, nice job." Snake remarked, "Thanks." Lance responded, and they got on with their days. Everything returned to normal until another land appeared to the east and Volvox connected it to theirs, "Wow, that place is barren." a teenage boy commented, "I see footprints, though." a little girl remarked, Volvox looked at them, "This is the home of the last prominent veteran from the apocalypse, leave him." Volvox instructed, "Why?" another little girl asked, "He's not good with people, everyone's out to attack him as well." Dommiel answered, everyone heard footsteps and saw the last veteran, it was an eight foot tall man with green skin and eyes, short black hair, and wearing nothing but ripped purple pants. The green man looked at them for a second and then sat, the teenagers walked to him, "Hey, we're gathering over here." a teenage boy stated, "Leave Hulk alone!" the green man hollered, the people moved back, "But we're all friends here." a teenage girl commented, "Leave Hulk alone, Hulk have no friends, Hulk not welcome anywhere, Hulk wanted dead wherever Hulk goes." Hulk responded, a girl tried to walk forward but Torque touched her shoulder and shook his head, "It's alright, Hulk, no one here will harm you." Guts commented, "Guts and Torque safe, Hulk relieved." Hulk remarked, "Huh? Why are you nicer to them?" a little boy asked, "Torque understand Hulk. Guts understand Hulk. Doom Slayer understand Hulk. All anger and rage incarnate like Hulk." Hulk explained, "I would like to speak to Bruce, Hulk." Tom said, "Bruce gone, Hulk has taken over completely." Hulk replied, "Well, so much for someone trying to find a way to grow crops all over this barren and radiation filled island." Harvey remarked, Hulk opened a can of canned beans and ate them, "You mind sharing some of those beans with us?" Ash questioned, "Beans for Hulk only." Hulk stated, "So much for getting food from the Jolly Green Giant." an old man remarked, "No, that's his rival, Hulk would replace Popeye and his spinach." Ash responded, "Let's just leave him be, everybody, Hulk has a very bad temper, too." Volvox responded, and everybody walked away and got on with their days. Princess Celestia and the other rulers were in Canterlot and having a meeting, "I have called you all here because of that land, as you all see, they are struggling to survive, and they're not growing enough crops to feed everyone, sooner or later, they will start migrating to our lands in hopes of surviving." Princess Celestia explained, "What? Migrate? No way, I am not letting them into the Dragon Lands after they almost attacked us on sight, my father and fellow dragons don't want them, either." Princess Ember declared, "Me neither, I don't want that giant lizard that emerged in the water making his home in my country." Queen Novo added, Princess Celestia looked out a window and at Godzilla, she looked back a second later, "What about the rest of you?" Princess Celestia questioned, "Nope, they don't seem to have any money, they're not welcome to Griffonstone until otherwise." Grampa Gruff declared, "Well, Pharynx and I have talked about inviting them, but they're a bit rough around the edges, they will scare the young changelings easily." King Thorax commented, "Yak hope foreigners friendly, but yaks like Hulk in particular." Prince Rutherford said, "I wouldn't mind them coming as long as they're friendly and respect our way of life." Rain Shine stated, "Us crystal ponies stand the same with the Equestrian ponies." Princess Cadence spoke, "Of course you would, you ponies are all friendship and acceptance this, friendship and acceptance that, of course you all would welcome them." Princess Ember remarked, "Now, now, Ember, me, my sister, Cadence, and the Pillars are not ready to straight up accept them, we're ready to fight if they're hostile." Princess Celestia stated, "Yak believe people will migrate to land where food grow." Prince Rutherford stated, "Hmm, true, a place like Yakyakistan wouldn't be able to produce much crop, neither would the Dragon Lands or Griffonstone for that matter, or the Hive, they would more likely to go to either here, Mount Aris, or Kirin Grove." Princess Luna replied, "I wouldn't mind them coming to Mount Aris so they can survive just as long as they don't cause any trouble." Queen Novo stated, "I don't care if they're friendly or not, I'm throwing them out if they come to the Dragon Lands." Princess Ember declared, "Ember, I don't think that would be very wise, you have seen how powerful Volvox and those other four creatures as gigantic as him are." Princess Celestia reminded, "My father can take them." Princess Ember stated, "Well, some of you won't allow them, but I believe we should at least try to welcome them if they do migrate to our lands." King Thorax said, "Agreed, and if they're troublemakers and criminals, we either arrest them or deport them." Princess Celestia replied, "I think it's mostly settled then, we'll try to welcome them, but you all are free to do what you all wish back in your countries." Princess Cadence stated, "Well, with that, this meeting is finished, dismissed." Princess Celestia stated, and everybody left the room and headed home while Princess Celestia and Princess Luna walked back to their thrones. Tom counted the crops harvested and realized there was not enough to feed everybody, he then looked at Hulk and saw him eating more canned beans while Amaterasu tried her best to feed the animals. Another land appeared to the southeast and everybody saw a big UFO hovering over it, "Harvesters! Take cover, everybody!" Tom commanded, and they ran while the UFO shot a beam down and destroyed the land under it. The UFO began hovering to them slowly and some of the younger humans shot arrows and bullets at it, "No! Don't! It won't work!" a middle aged man hollered, an energy shield came up around the UFO and the arrows and bullets got deflected. Harvey, Nick, and Lance began trying to disable the UFO's energy shield with their psychic powers while smaller ships came out of it. Mothra, Rodan, Phoenix, and Thunderbird flapped their wings around and powerful wind gusts made the ships fly crookedly while the energy shields protected them Phoenix's fire waves and Thunderbird's lightning strikes, Volvox slapped the smaller spaceships with his front legs and they got destroyed and fell to the ground, Godzilla also swatted them out of the sky with his arms and Anguirus bit them with his teeth and destroyed the attacking ships. Some of the flying ships fell into the water and other countries and their natives screamed, the Harvesters came out and began attacking immediately. The ponies screamed while some of the unicorns tried to hold them back with their telekinesis, the dragons overpowered and destroyed them, the griffons were at a stalemate, the changelings shifted and restrained them, the yaks were at a stalemate, the seaponies and hippogriffs tried to hold them back, and the kirins turned into niriks and burned them. Amaterasu painted black ink with her tail and a very strong wind appeared, the flying ships struggled to fly and some began to fall, Hulk ran and punched them while grunting angrily, the ships flew through the sky and landed in Mount Aris and broke apart. The people on the island destroyed the Harvesters and they focused on the UFO, Anguirus jumped and rammed the spikes on his back into the UFO and only put a dent in it, Amaterasu then drew horizontal marks with the ink on her tail to slash the UFO but it had no effect. Godzilla looked at Hulk and tilted his head and Hulk nodded, he ran at high speeds and leaped into the air, he grabbed onto Godzilla's tail and he swung his tail forward, Hulk went through the air and he screamed with rage and grew bigger, he punched the UFO and it broke into pieces and debris fell everywhere. The world's natives exclaimed and screamed while Hulk fell and landed on the ground, he shook the world while putting a huge crater in the ground. Volvox, Giovi, Harvey, Nick, Lance, and some of the mutated humans gathered the Harvesters and their vehicles with their telekinesis, they separated them and Godzilla obliterated the Harvesters with his atomic breath. Volvox used his telekinesis to move Bishop to the new land while Godzilla and Hulk walked to it, “Wait, they can enter radiation filled areas just fine?” Applejack asked, “Yup, Godzilla and Hulk were mutated by radiation, nuclear radiation in Godzilla’s case and gamma radiation in Hulk’s, they can enter radiation filled areas with no problems as a result.” Dommiel explained, “That reminds me, can you all keep the debris from your fights within your country?” Princess Ember demanded, “Us dragons do not appreciate another country’s trash in our lands, we will throw them back without a care if anything gets destroyed.” Dragon Lord Torch added, Godzilla and Hulk faced him and Godzilla roared angrily while Hulk screamed with rage and got bigger, "Get mad all you want, I won't budge on my orders." Princess Ember said, "Hulk smash puny dragon!" Hulk roared, Godzilla roared in agreement, "I'll fight you two if you two don't like it, I'll take both of you on at the same time if I have to." Princess Ember declared, "That would mean declaring a war on us and having to fight me as well." Guts remarked, "You think I'd be scared of a person with a big sword?" Princess Ember questioned, "My sword is literally called Dragon Slayer." Guts stated, the dragons reeled back in shock, "Also, this isn't my only weapon, I've been holding back in my battles." Guts added, "You still wanna risk going into battle with us?" Volvox asked, "I will if it comes to that, but if you all don't want it, keep your enemies' remains and debris out of our country." Princess Ember demanded, and she flew away. Bishop, Godzilla, and Hulk went back to looking for any survivors and found none, "Volvox, can you move me to the part they destroyed?" Bishop requested, and he did, he examined the crater and looked at the pieces of land, "Strange, I can't find anything here, it's almost like the Harvesters just wanted to destroy land for the sake of it." Bishop commented, John programmed the Terminators and they began walking to the land, they searched the ground and dug it up, chains came out and cut the Terminators apart. The creatures moved to where the land's inhabitants were and to Torque, "More Malefactors!" Tom stated, the creatures burst out of the ground and swung their chains forward. Torque jumped back while everybody fired at the creature, it burrowed back into the ground and Snake threw a grenade into the hole, it exploded and the creature came out and fell dead, another creature came out and Torque shot it with his revolvers. Volvox and Dommiel looked and saw more Malefactors coming and going to Torque, Dommiel disappeared and the creatures suddenly came out of the ground and they fell dead while everybody saw Dommiel in their shadows and attacking them, he returned to his post afterwards. Everybody went back to the land and tried to harvest more crops until another piece of land appeared to the north, Volvox got ready to connect it but stopped when he got a bad feeling, "What is it?" Tom asked, "I feel a malevolent energy." Volvox replied, "Me too." Dommiel added, "Could it be demons?" Dante asked, "No, but similar." Dommiel answered, they heard walking and soon saw humanoid creatures with black and red skin, black hair, and brown horns on their heads, they were wearing black and red armor and carrying big swords, "Mortals are there." one creature said, "I smell weakness in them, get them." another one said, and they jumped onto the land, "Take cover! Daedra are no joke!" an old man stated, and everybody held their spears up. Giovi, Guts, and Dante ran to fight them while Volvox looked to see if there were any more, he saw about thirty more coming and he held his tail up and shot red lightning out of its tip to disintegrate them, some of them jumped onto the land and they looked up in horror when Anguirus slammed his feet down on them, some of them ran around them and got attacked by Ash, he shot them with his boomstick and cut them apart with his chainsaw. The Daedra got slaughtered and Volvox shot hellfire blasts out of his mouths while Godzilla used his atomic breath and they destroyed their stronghold, "So that's the Daedra?" Princess Celestia asked while she flew above the land, "Yes, but those are specifically called Dremora, there is more than one type of Daedra." Tom replied, "Hmm, I see, perhaps we can seal them away if more appear." Princess Celestia stated, "If more do appear." Dommiel commented, and Princess Celestia flew away. Two days passed with nothing eventful happening and everybody struggled to grow more food, another island appeared to the southeast and connected itself to the land, everybody held their weapons up and watched closely, humans walked to them and everybody looked on with surprise but Amaterasu sniffed them and got into a fighting stance, "What is it, Ammy?" Issun asked, the other dogs began barking at the newcomers, "Is it that thing I encountered in Antarctica?" MacReady questioned, "Negative, MacReady, my readings are saying their human skin is synthetic." Bishop responded, the older humans' eyes' widen, "Get your weapons! They're Terminators!" a man hollered, and the newcomers took out their weapons. The newcomers fired plasma guns while John and his group got theirs, they fired at one another while Isaac fired his plasma cutter at them, small bits of their synthetic flesh flew off but it was ineffective against their endoskeletons. Harvey, Nick, and Lance tried to control them with their psychic powers but they resisted it, Orchid shot lightning out of her middle fingers while Amaterasu painted a zigzag with her tail and a lightning bolt fell on them and they all shut down. Harvey, Nick, and Lance brought them forward with their telekinesis and began reprogramming them with their psychic powers, "I don't get it, my plasma cutter is strong enough to blow things apart, it seemed to have little effect on them." Isaac commented, "It's alright, Isaac, watch." Volvox stated, and he shot hellfire breaths at the newcomers, their synthetic flesh and clothes burned off but their endoskeletons were still intact, "See, these Terminators are highly resilient, not even my hellfire blasts can obliterate them." Volvox said, "It'd be really helpful if they were on our sides, in the future, we have video footage of the apocalypse, we discovered that thing MacReady fought cannot replicate machinery, they were deployed all over the world to counter its replicating abilities." John explained, "Where is it in your time?" MacReady questioned, "Frozen and in stasis, Skynet is trying to domesticate it and use it against us humans." John answered, "Volvox, can you transfer lands from our world here?" MacReady asked, "Sorry, but no." Volvox responded, "That sucks, I was hoping you could and find that thing, if we can destroy it now, maybe it won't be in the future." MacReady stated, "We'll keep an eye out on it." Dommiel spoke, MacReady smiled and nodded. Harvey, Nick, and Lance continued trying to reprogram the hostile Terminators but purple lasers got shot at them and distracted them, everybody looked and saw a tank coming. John and his group quickly got their bombs and ran to it while Dwayne, Dutch, MacReady, and Snake ran to go fight it, "What is that?" Newt asked, "A tank from the future, us adults were debriefed during the apocalypse that the future has robotic vehicles called Hunter-Killers." a middle aged man answered, the hostile Terminators rebooted themselves and began attacking everybody. Volvox, Godzilla, and Anguirus stomped on them and destroyed them, the Hunter-Killer Tank opened fire and Volvox, Godzilla, and Mothra got ready to shoot blasts at it but they got shot by more purple beams, they looked and saw Hunter-Killer Aerials flying to them. Volvox and Godzilla swatted them and destroyed them while Mothra shot beams at them and Rodan flapped his wings and destroyed them with powerful gusts of wind. The Hunter-Killer Tank fired at the humans battling it and they got ready to plant explosives, but its sides opened and Terminators with no synthetic skin came out. They fired their weapons and everybody took cover while MacReady and Snake threw explosives at them, they broke apart but continued fighting. John and his group shot plasma weapons at them but it did little, Snake then sneaked around them quietly and got behind the Hunter-Killer Tank, he planted a grenade on its and ran away, it exploded and the Hunter-Killer Tank got destroyed. Giovi moved up the building on the new land with his telekinesis and saw more Hunter Killer-Tanks and Hunter Killer-Aerials coming, Godzilla and Mothra shot beams at them and destroyed them while one Hunter-Killer Tank drove to Hulk, he grabbed its head and ripped it off, he then picked up the body and spun around and threw it into the water. More hostile Terminators walked to them and the Count of Saint Germain fired his pistol and blew their heads off and they fell, everybody watched but saw that was all of the enemies. Bishop finished examining the new place and reported no survivors, Volvox then connected the new land and brought all of the machines to them while the Mane Six appeared on the land, "Wow, I'm a student of science myself, but I never seen technology this advanced." Twilight Sparkle commented, "They're from my time, so several decades into the future." John reminded, "Do you all have any robots that throw parties?" Pinkie Pie asked, "No, they were built with warfare being top priority." Harvey answered, "If your guys' future has stuff like this, I'm scared to see what it's like." Fluttershy said while quivering, "It's not just the future that's scary." Ash remarked, "You traveled through time, too, Ash?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Sure did, while John and the Terminators came here from the future, I was sent to the past, 1300 A.D. to be exact." Ash responded, "Oh, yeah, there was a statue of you in my hometown." a man said, "Did it have a plaque or anything?" Ash questioned, "Yup, Hero from the Sky, it also said you're the man who saved my country from the Deadites." the man responded, "I sure was glad to be back in this time after I got out of there." Ash remarked, "Say, how did you all travel through time?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Me and my group were transferred by time displacement equipment, we can go either forward or backwards, it's mostly reliable, but there are mishaps sometimes." John explained, "I was sent through time when a portal was opened by a book called the Book of the Dead." Ash replied, "So you all can travel time through magic, too, it's been a while since I traveled through time." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "We can travel through time with technology in our world, too." Dommiel replied, "Why don't you all travel to the past and try to prevent the apocalypse that destroyed your world?" Rarity suggested, "About that, some people from my time tried that, it only delayed it, there's also been times when the apocalypse happened because of factors beyond our control." John explained, "Like what?" Applejack asked, "The Xenomorphs attacking us, we tried to wipe them out, but that company Ripley worked for brought them back from extinction many years after my time, same with the Necromorphs, they come back eventually, too, so do the Daedra, the dragons come back after humans are extinct, too, and there are ghosts that still haunt places and more Apostles in the future as well." John explained, "So, what was the apocalypse like for y'all?" Applejack inquired, "There was fire everywhere, earthquakes opened the ground and demons came out all over the world, sounds of fighting everywhere, but the main thing was our world was consumed by flames." Tom explained, "So basically the opposite of us, if we don't have friendship in our country, Wendigos come and freeze our land." Twilight Sparkle stated, "I didn't see any blizzards when I traveled the world, when the apocalypse began, there was big fire all over the world." Snake responded, "How did the radiation thing happen?" Applejack inquired, "Nuclear weapons." John responded, "The nuclear weapons destroyed many parts of the world, too, there were so many monsters and they were so powerful, they were used as a last resort." Dante added, "It wasn't just us, Skynet used them in the future as well." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Wow." Fluttershy said, "Well, we'll let you all get on with your days, and remember, if you all need food, we're ready to provide." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Okay, and thanks." Tom replied, and the Mane Six disappeared while the people got on with their days. The world's natives watched the people and they noticed the older members having nightmares every night they slept, Princess Luna decided to take a look into them and reeled back in horror at seeing Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Harvey, Orchid, Nick, Lance, and the other natives fighting to survive against various monsters, Ripley, Newt, Dwayne, and Bishop fighting Xenomorphs, Dutch fighting a Yautja in a forest, John and his group fighting Terminators and other machines in a destroyed world, MacReady fighting the Thing in a snowy environment, Kirsty in a realm of horrors and dealing with the Cenobites, Princess Luna reeled back in horror at seeing the four Cenobites. She then saw Ash fighting monsters in a wooden cabin and then fighting even more in the past, Godzilla, Anguirus, Mothra, and Rodan fighting dragons, two dragons that caught her attention were a gold three-headed dragon and a big black dragon with red eyes, Guts in a place of horrors with Apostles all around him, Isaac fighting the Necromorphs on the USG Ishimura, Torque fighting Malefactors on Carnate Island and in Baltimore, Sebastian's experiences inside Ruvik's mind, Dante fighting demons around the world, Amaterasu and Issun fighting monsters and curing cursed places, Snake fighting other humans across the world, and Hulk fighting to survive while everybody chased him for various reasons, "No wonder why they're all so traumatized, they've all witnessed and experienced many horrors." Princess Luna said, she continued watching saw the various Daedra attacking their world as well, "Hmm, so those are the other Daedra, I wonder who these Daedric Princes are." Princess Luna commented, she then watched more dreams and saw the Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, and the Thing in action, "So that's what they do, we're going to need to come up with countermeasures if they come here." Princess Luna noted, she watched more but stopped for a moment when she saw the ground erupt in several dreams and a big creature with many spines and three mouth sections came out of the ground, "What is this?" Princess Luna asked, the creature shot its spines everywhere onto the ground and destroyed all of the land alongside flora and fauna, the sun also got blocked and its spines polluted the air, the land became too dry and barren to grow anything, and a snowstorm began, she then saw Volvox, Dommiel, Giovi, Godzilla, Mothra, Dutch, Harvey, Orchid, Guts, Amaterasu, and Hulk working together to destroy the creature, "What is this thing?" Princess Luna asked, she saw them enter inside the creature and fight another creature and then three more in its core and destroyed it after a long battle, "I'll need to ask them about this." Princess Luna remarked, and she began soothing their nightmares. The next day came and Princess Luna gathered the world's attention, "Natives of the new land, I have entered the dream realm last night and saw your dreams, I have saw the enemies you all have faced and the horrors you all have experienced, I offer you all my sincerest condolences, but the reason why I gathered everyone is because I have noticed your enemies attack all creatures that are not the same as them, I would like to discuss them so our countries can have countermeasures in case those creatures attack us as well." Princess Luna explained, "What do you want to know?" Isaac asked while panting a little heavily, "Mostly how they attack, how they invade, what are their weapons, and so on." Princess Luna answered, "That's going to be a big subject because there's a big variety of demons and Daedra." Volvox commented, "I realized that, that also brings up a question I have from seeing your dreams last night, who are the Daedric Princes?" Princess Luna asked, "They are the leaders and most powerful of all Daedra, there's technically seventeen princes, but two of them are the same people." Tom explained, "What are their names and what do they rule?" Princess Luna questioned, "Azura is the prince of dusk and dawn, Boethiah is the Prince of Plots, Clavicus Vile is the prince of bargains and regrets, Hermaeus Mora is the prince of knowledge and memory, Hircine is the prince of hunts, Jyggalag is the Prince of Order, Malacath is the prince of vengeance, Mehrunes Dagon is the prince of destruction, Mephala is the prince of lies and secrets, Meridia is the prince of energy, Molag Bal is the prince of domination and enslavement, Namira is the prince of dark instincts, Nocturnal is the prince of night and darkness, Peryite is the prince of sicknesses, Sanguine is the prince of hedonism, Sheogorath is the Prince of Madness, he and Jyggalag are the same person, and Vaermina is the prince of dreams, nightmares, and omens, all of them were involved in the apocalypse." Tom explained, "Oh, very different from what I thought they would be." Princess Luna said, "Anything else you'd like to know?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "No, it's fine, I'd like to know the general weaknesses of demons next." Princess Luna replied, "Well, a lot of demons are weak to light, some of the weaker ones are weak to holy artifacts, too." Dante stated, "What kind of holy artifacts?" Princess Luna questioned, "That cross some of us carry is the main one." Dante responded, a girl showed her a cross with Jesus crucified on it, "Hmm, I see, interesting, I'd like to know about the Apostles now, and again, general weakness since I noticed there's a big variety of them as well." Princess Luna spoke, "Apostles are all former humans, when they transform, there's a part of them that remains human, that is their weak spot." Guts explained, "I see, I have also noticed how powerful they are, I don't think Equestria will be able to stand up to an army of them." Princess Luna remarked, "Those are the regular Apostles, the ones who change people into Apostles don't have that weakness." Guts stated, "Yes, I noticed that in your dream, five creatures standing on a hand." Princess Luna spoke, "Yeah, the God Hand, one of them was a man I once called my best friend, they don't have the weaknesses of other Apostles, human weapons are mostly ineffective against them, too." Guts explained, "I think we may have something that works, I have also seen how people turn into Apostles, maybe our teachings of love and friendship can prevent it." Princess Luna said, "I doubt it." Guts responded, "Moving on, next would be the zombies, or more specifically, the Deadites." Princess Luna said, "Most weapons we have work on them, my boomstick and chainsaw is usually enough to put them down." Ash replied, "I see, but I have noticed they are a bit clever." Princess Luna stated, "Yeah, they can change between humans and Deadite at will, that's usually done to make you drop your guard and attack you." Ash explained, "Hmm, perhaps we can see through it with our magic. My next group of enemies to know about is the Cenobites, have you found any weaknesses on them, Kirsty?" Princess Luna asked, "You saw them in my dream?" Kirsty questioned, "Yes, I have saw their realm, too, I'm glad you made it out of that realm of horrors." Princess Luna spoke, "I don't know any conventional weaknesses, but the Cenobites can be reasoned and bargained with, the box that summons them can seal them away, too." Kirsty explained, "Hmm, so they're basically creatures summoned by magic, me and my sister might have something to combat them." Princess Luna commented, "I would appreciate that." Kirsty responded, "Next, the ghosts, what are their weaknesses?" Princess Luna questioned, "Well, ghosts can be a bit tricky, there are some spiritually enchanted items at our world that can pacify and exorcise them, but since they aren't here, we have to resort to destroying them, magic is what destroys ghosts." Volvox explained, "How do you pacify one?" Princess Luna asked, "Some ghosts had items they held onto dearly when they were alive, giving them that item can make them happy and stop attacking others, but there are times when they have to be appeased, the most common way to pacify them that way is to worship them as gods." Dommiel explained, "Worship them as gods? What arrogance." Princess Luna remarked, "It's the only way sometimes." Tom responded, "Well, moving on, I would also like to know if there are anymore supernatural threats you all encounter." Princess Luna said, "Skeletons." Volvox replied, "And what are their weaknesses?" Princess Luna questioned, "Put down temporarily, blunt force, permanently, take out the sorcerer." Tom responded, "They can also be put down permanently if you reduce their bones to ashes." Dommiel added, "Hmm, I see, anymore types of supernatural creatures you all fight?" Princess Luna questioned, "Of course, you got the vampires, werewolves, trolls, Giovi's species, which are the ghouls, elves, fairies, giants, ogres, orcs, cyclopes, dwarfs, goblins, and dragons." Tom explained, "How do you deal with them?" Princess Luna asked, "If you're big like me and Godzilla, you can just smash them, but for the others, vampires are weak to silver, garlic, the sun, and a stake to the heart, werewolves are weak to silver, trolls are weak to lightning and easily fooled, ghouls are weak to light magic, elves are weak to iron, fairies are weak to iron and silver, cyclopes eyes are their weak spots, goblins can be easily overpowered with brute force, and as for giants, ogres, orcs, dwarfs, and dragons, they don't really have a weakness, you have to overpower them one way or another." Volvox explained, "Speaking of dragons, when I looked at your dreams, I noticed two that particularly stood out, one was a three headed golden dragon and the other was a big black dragon with red eyes." Princess Luna stated, "Ah, those two dragons were the most powerful dragons that we fought during the apocalypse, that gold three headed dragon is King Ghidorah, he's an alien from outer space that came to our planet in an attempt to destroy us, that big black dragon is Alduin, he was the leader of the dragons when they attacked our world, he's native to our planet, he tried to destroy all life and was hostile to even other dragons at times, when King Ghidorah arrived, they didn't get along, but they set aside their differences to destroy all life and planned to destroy each other after only the dragons remained on the Earth." Tom explained, "Where are they now?" Princess Luna asked, "King Ghidorah has escaped into space, the UAC is looking for him, and Alduin's physical body has been destroyed, but his soul is still elsewhere, there's a big risk he might come back one day." Harvey stated, "What do you mean his soul is elsewhere?" Princess Luna questioned, "Alduin is the physical embodiment of the end of the world, the apocalypse being triggered caused him to manifest." Volvox explained, Princess Luna had a shocked expression, "What's the next group of enemies you want to know about?" Dutch asked, "Those aliens from space, I'd like to start with the Harvesters since we already saw them." Princess Luna answered, "The Harvesters themselves are very weak, how you all saw them is a bio-suit, the actual alien is small, their energy shields don't work against close-range attacks, either." Volvox explained, "I see, next are the Xenomorphs, have do you all combat them?" Princess Luna asked, "Our weapons work on them, but from my experiences, fire and extreme heat works best, confronting them up close is too risky." Ripley answered, "I have seen their acid blood and capabilities, I must admit I am shocked, I have never seen such a defense mechanism." Princess Luna stated, "Another weakness we discovered is they can't breathe in space." Dwayne added, "Well, we're not in space right now, so that won't work. Next is the Thing, how about it, MacReady, have you discovered any other weaknesses to it besides fire and explosives?" Princess Luna questioned, "Not really, thing is basically invincible, but there are ways to expose it." MacReady answered, "I noticed, if it arrives here, let me and my sister examine it, maybe we can seal it away permanently." Princess Luna stated, "You should destroy it." MacReady remarked, "We will if possible. Next aliens to discuss are the Necromorphs." Princess Luna said, "Their weakness is cut them apart, it's the only weakness they have, either that, or put the Marker back in its original place, there is no other weakness." Isaac replied, "Isaac, I saw your experiences on the USG Ishimura last night, you poor man, but I want you to know that we are a land of love and friendship, and we wish to help you if possible, and I'm very sorry about Nicole, I will attend to your nightmares if they really bother you." Princess Luna stated, "Thank you." Isaac said, "Okay, next up is the Yautja, do you know any of their weaknesses, Dutch?" Princess Luna questioned, "It can't see you if you cover yourself in mud." Dutch responded, "Mud? Do you have a cleaner alternative?" Princess Luna asked, "Anything that can cool down your body temperature will work, and if possible, avoid fighting them head-on, you won't win." Dutch said, "Yes, I noticed that." Princess Luna remarked, "We owe a lot to Dutch, he's the one who gave us our motto for fighting during the apocalypse." a middle aged man said, "Which is?" Princess Luna asked, "If it bleeds, we can kill it." Dutch stated, Princess Luna had an unamused expression, "Moving on, next one is the Maykrs you all mentioned when you all came here." Princess Luna said, "They're extinct." Tom replied, "What happened?" Princess Luna inquired, "The Doom Slayer wiped them out." Volvox revealed, "Oh, wow, next up to discuss are the Terminators." Princess Luna stated, "That's a bit complicated, it depends on which model you're talking about." John stated, "Wait? Did you just say which model?" Princess Luna questioned, "Yes, there's more than one type of Terminator." John revealed, "Let's just cover the ones you all are encountering now." Princess Luna stated, "These would be the T-800 models, they're most vulnerable to very high pressure, they can be crushed beyond repair, they can also be shut down for a short time with electrocution, partially vulnerable to acid, strong plasma weaponry can damage them, too, and high extreme temperature can melt them, high blunt trauma works, too." John explained, "Oh, so they have several weaknesses, but I can clearly see you all still have trouble against them." Princess Luna remarked, "Hulk has no fear of Terminators, Hulk smashes and breaks Terminators with no effort." Hulk spoke, "You mean to say he can actually damage them with their bare hands?" Princess Luna questioned, "Yeah, he's the only human here who can take them head-on." John answered, "Hmm, I wonder why." Princess Luna remarked, "Because Hulk is strongest there is." Hulk replied, "Okay, next is the Malefactors, I just want to know their general weakness since I noticed there's a variety of them as well." Princess Luna said, "Well, human weapons work on them, they have the same weakness as Necromorphs in having their body parts removed, but it's much more effective on them than on the Necromorphs. The ones with the black smoke are invincible to pretty much everything, only Torque's creature form works on them." Dommiel explained, "Why is that?" Princess Luna asked, "We have no clue." Tom responded, "Hmm, I am curious on why, myself." Princess Luna stated, "There being a variety of Malefactors also works against them, each type of Malefactor can't stand the other types and they actively seek out to destroy one another." Volvox said, "So a self-destructive group of creatures, I don't assume they were the only ones." Princess Luna spoke, "Nope, the demons and some of the Daedra destroyed one another, too, so did the dragons, many fought Alduin for his position as strongest and leader of the dragons." Dante replied, "I see, last group, Sebastian, I need to know how to confront the monstrosities you encountered in Ruvik's mind." Princess Luna stated, "Most human weapons we have here work on them, but the biggest weakness they have is fire, when they're down, they revive after a few minutes, fire puts them down permanently." Sebastian explained, "Is that the only thing that keeps them down?" Princess Luna questioned, "Destroying the head works too, but I find using fire to be easier." Sebastian replied, "I see. One more thing before I go, I saw a monster with many spines on its body burst out of the ground and launched them all over the land and basically made the place inhabitable." Princess Luna said, "That's Lavos, and as I said, that crater there in the land where I'm from is where he emerged from." Harvey explained as he pointed to it, "Where did it come from?" Princess Luna asked, "We're not sure, none of us knew it was there, several years into the apocalypse, it suddenly burst out of the ground and launched its spines everywhere, we teamed up and managed to destroy it, but Mothra and Orchid have said they think it's not truly gone." Volvox explained, "When we first destroyed it, I got a sense that it was sent elsewhere, I don't know where, but a monster like that is too powerful to ignore, it feeds on a land's natives, it also has the power to control and influence the evolution of a place's fauna." Orchid explained while Princess Luna's eyes widened, "I agree that's something that should not be looked over, if something with that power comes here, it could spell potential doom for our world." Princess Luna remarked, "We still do not know where it went after it was defeated." Orchid replied, "Hmm, maybe my sister and I can find it. Okay, that's everything I needed to know, thank you all for your reports, I will now discuss with my country on creating countermeasures against them." Princess Luna spoke, and she flew away, "You think their countermeasures are going to work, Tom?" Newt questioned, "I don't know, but we will have to wait and see, if they can get them set up fast enough." Tom responded, "There's no point in wondering right now, let's just go on as normal and watch for any dangers coming." Volvox said, everybody agreed and got on with their days. The rulers, Mane Six, Pillars of Equestria, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Sunburst, and Student Six gathered together in Canterlot's throne room and Princess Luna displayed the dreams she saw with her magic, "As you all can see, their world is full of monsters and dangers, the fact some of them are still alive is a miracle." Princess Luna stated, "And your reason for calling us here was...?" Queen Novo asked, "Those monsters attack everything that is not the same creature as them, while they are mostly focusing on the newcomers, there is very high risk that they will attack us as well, and we must make countermeasures." Princess Luna explained, "I think it would be best if we focus on the big groups first." Pharynx suggested, the others nodded, "Alright then, first, the Daedra, they are a very variable type of creature, we must make many precautions against them." Princess Luna stated, "From what we've seen, regular weapons and magic seem to work on them." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yes, but I saw in their dreams that the Daedric Princes are on a whole other level, I don't think even Discord or the Tree of Harmony will be able to stand up against them." Princess Luna replied, "Can you show us their powers and abilities?" Princess Skystar asked, and Princess Luna did. Everybody watched with shock at seeing what the Daedric Princes were capable of, "I've never seen creatures of such power." Shining Armor exclaimed, "It seems some of them are benevolent and can be reasoned with, though, maybe we can form a truce with some of them." Sunburst suggested, "I agree, but we must make countermeasures against Molag Bal, Mehrunes Dagon, Boethiah, Mephala, Namira, and Vaermina, and Hircine as well if he goes after our pets or Fluttershy's animals." Princess Celestia replied, "I'm seeing more types more often than others." Princess Cadence commented, "Indeed, I learned from their dreams that the ones they fought are called Dremora, the other more common type I'm seeing are called Atronachs, they seem to be three elements, fire, ice, or lightning, I think our spells can counter them rather easily." Princess Luna said, "One thing, Princess Luna, look, it looks like that type of Daedra there is absorbing magic." Sandbar stated as he pointed to one, "Ha, maybe Yona and yaks can put it down." Yona replied, "Yak will kick Daedra out of Yakyakistan." Prince Rutherford boasted, "Wait, hey, they're not serving the Princes loyally." Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she saw some of the lesser Daedra change their loyalties from one Daedric Prince to another, "So they have no loyalty for their masters? They should be punished." Princess Ember declared, "I looked into that, it seems they swore allegiance to whatever Prince is the strongest at the time in exchange of said Prince protecting them." Princess Luna explained, "No loyalty, I see, they're drawn to power, I can kind of understand." Grampa Gruff stated, "Well, anyway, it looks like they have realms of our own, I believe we can seal the gateways with our magic." Star Swirl the Bearded stated, "I agree, Star Swirl, if we can prevent them from entering our world, that'll be great." Princess Celestia replied, "Next group are the demons, they're a big group, too, but they all seem to have common weaknesses." Princess Luna said, "Light magic, the sun, and those religious symbols from their world, nothing we can't handle." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "Yeah, I think Equestria's magic with friendship will probably keep them at bay." Sunset Shimmer added, "I hope our love in the Hive works, too." Ocellus spoke, "Alright, they're mostly settled, next is the Apostles, I know that one becomes an Apostle by summoning the God Hand with a Beherit, but said person must be at their lowest and in despair at that time, so I believe talking one out of summoning them and offering them love and friendship is vital for their prevention." Princess Luna explained, "I agree, this is one reason why we should preach love and friendship across the world." Princess Celestia added, "Ooh, I can cheer them up with my parties and singing!" Pinkie Pie suggested while jumping up and down, "Um, can we try to talk them out before they summon the God Hand, them, their realm, and all of their Apostles are very scary looking." Fluttershy quivered, "I agree, Flurry Heart will have nightmares if she sees the God Hand." Princess Cadence responded, "That brings me to the next group, Malefactors, since they seem to born from tragedy, love and friendship might be able to prevent them from forming, and like many of you have witnessed, they seem attracted to Torque in particular, I certainly don't want to ostracize him from our country because of that." Princess Luna remarked, "Still, I wonder why they're going to him for." Mage Meadowbrook commented, "Who knows, lass, the reason is probably something beyond our understanding." Rockhoof responded, "I still can't imagine how annoyed Torque is by that." Smolder said, "I think Guts is more annoyed with the Apostles after him since they seem to be much stronger." Gallus reminded, "So, what do you think will work against those Malefactors?" Silverstream questioned, "Well, I believe our magic can make them disappear, but I'll have to look into the ones with black smoke on them since so far, only Torque's creature form works against them." Princess Luna remarked, "Ugh, I hate that creature form of his, it looks so hideous and makes his already unfashionable clothes even more unfashionable by making the upper part disappear." Rarity stated, "Rarity, focus." Applejack said, "I will now discuss the Cenobites, as you all see, they are terrifying looking, and their logic is a logic we will don't understand, as you all see, we must take precautions if they ever come to our world." Princess Luna stated, "I believe that cube thingy in Kirsty's dream there should be destroyed." Mistmane suggested, "Agreed, I don't understand why Volvox put one under the ground." Somnambula added, "He might have a reason, he just hasn't said yet." Flash Magnus said, "What else have you noticed, Princess Luna?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Well, it seems they are driven to people who have a desire for anything, they will grant your desires, but at a price and in their own twisted ways." Princess Luna replied, "I remember hearing they don't keep their ends of bargains either." King Thorax remarked, "They don't, I saw in Kirsty's dream that they didn't." Princess Luna responded, "If the boxes prove to be unable to be destroyed, I will seal them away with my strongest magic." Princess Celestia suggested, the others smiled, "Okay, last supernatural group, the undead, that consists of the ghosts, the Deadites, and the skeletons, I'm putting ghosts in this section since they're deceased like the other two as well." Princess Luna stated, "I... I don't wanna deal with ghosts." Silverstream said while quivering, "M... me neither, Yona scared of ghosts." Yona added while quivering, "Everyone, remember, they said some of the ghosts can be pacified by bringing them peace." Twilight Sparkle reminded, "Yes, but they have said most ways to pacify ghosts by worshiping them as gods, oh, I can't believe how arrogant they are." Rarity remarked, "Yeah, no way us griffons are going to worship them as gods." Grampa Gruff added, "Neither would us kirins, my rule is the highest in our land, they will not worship a commoner who demands to be seen as a god." Rain Shine stated, "I agree that that is not a good way to pacify them, I can understand being sad and lonely and they need love and friendship to be at peace and stop hurting others, but demanding to be worshiped as gods is where I draw the line, our citizens would not accept that, us rulers here are the highest ranking people of our societies, a foreigner coming to our countries and demanding to worshiped as a god is beyond angering." Princess Celestia said, the others nodded in agreement, "What do you suggest then?" Spike questioned, "I will send them to Tartarus if they make such a demand." Princess Celestia replied, "Hold on a sec, Princess Celestia, isn't that a bit harsh?" Applejack asked, "Well, we don't really have any way of imprisoning and incapacitating ghosts, there's also what our citizens say, they would believe that someone demanding a higher status than us alicorns is deserving of the harshest punishment we give out." Princess Celestia answered, "Plus, I don't think our countries have any way of dealing with ghosts, either." Princess Skystar added, "We'll try to come up with something in the future, the next group are the Deadites, I know they're zombies and all, but they seem to be possessed by demonic energy." Princess Luna stated, "Possessed, right? I'm sure we have a spell that can get it out." Sunset Shimmer suggested, "We do, and if possible, we should try to get them out of their host without harming them." Princess Celestia answered, "But look, it looks ilke they can transfer to another host and possess them." Princess Ember reminded as she drew everyone's attention to the magic projection, "Do you unicorns have any counters against that?" Sandbar questioned, "I think my shields will be able to hold them back." Princess Cadence replied, "If any of you other rulers encounter Deadites in your country, bring them here. Now, onto the other supernatural threats from their world, the vampires, werewolves, trolls, ghouls, goblins, elves, fairies, orcs, dwarfs, ogres, cyclopes, giants, and dragons, and as you all can see, their dragons are different from our world's dragons." Princess Luna stated, "Them vampires kind of remind me of them bat ponies on mah farm." Applejack said, "I see the resemblance, too, but as for a countermeasure against the vampires, maybe bring up the sun since they seem to hate it, it looks like it works on the werewolves, too." Twilight Sparkle added, "Look, guys, it looks like the sun works on the trolls, too." Rainbow Dash said as she pointed to a projection of a troll being in the sun and turning to stone, "Interesting, I've never seen a creature turn to stone in the sun." Princess Celestia stated, "What do we do against the ghouls?" Princess Skystar questioned, "Ugh, what a disgusting creature." Rarity said as she watched it eating meat, "They seem to hate the light and thrive in the dark." Queen Novo commented, "Oh, that's easy, just light up dark areas and they'll scram." King Thorax suggested and the others smiled, "Those goblins look easy, too, us dragons can overpower them easily if they try to fight us." Princess Ember said, "Yeah, one on its own looks very weak, a simple buck should do the trick." Applejack replied, "As you all can see, the elves are very arrogant and constantly underestimate their foes, I believe a simple restraining spell will do the trick." Princess Luna spoke, "I know they said a fairy's weakness is iron and steel, but I'd rather not harm them, maybe we can put a power nullifier on them." Flash Magnus suggested, "I agree, and as for the orcs, dwarfs, ogres, cyclopes, and giants, there seems to be nothing except overpower them with brute force, but as you all can see, they are very strong, not even Rockhoof, earth ponies, or us alicorns can match their strength." Princess Celestia said, "Maybe Yona and yak can overpower them." Yona stated, "Some of us dragons, too, my father will take them down easily." Princess Ember added, "Alright, now the dragons, as you all can see, they are big and strong, this Alduin seems to have magic as well, but my main concern is this King Ghidorah here, as you all know, we have never seen a dragon with so much destructive power." Princess Luna stated, "Not only that, but we've never seen a three headed one before, either." Princess Ember added, "Look, I think I see a weakness on him there." Twilight Sparkle stated as she pointed to a projection of Volvox and Godzilla fighting King Ghidorah, they all saw Godzilla shoot his atomic breath at the front part of King Ghidorah's center head's neck while Volvox's left and right heads shot hellfire blasts at the other two necks and all three of King Ghidorah's heads came off, "Wait, how did he survive that?" Rainbow Dash questioned, "I do not know, their memories don't show how he came back from that." Princess Luna answered, "He's still just like us dragons here, the parts of his bodies with no scales are his weak spots." Smolder stated, "I don't think that applies to Alduin though." Spike replied as everyone saw him getting attacked at his body parts with no scales and doing almost no harm to him, "I'll have to look into him again, but it looks like ice magic works best on him. Next is Ruvik's mind, I would put this under a scientific threat, but they seem supernatural in nature, and as Sebastian said, fire seems to work best, I'm usually against using such methods, but I don't think we have a choice in this case, look at how hostile they are." Princess Luna explained as everybody saw Sebastian's experiences inside of Ruvik's mind, "Wow, Sebastian sure had it rough." Applejack commented, "No kidding, I'm impressed he still has his sanity, that place would've drove me crazy." Twilight Sparkle stated, "About that, I've noticed all of those people are troubled with their memories, but Sebastian, Guts, Ripley, Snake, Isaac, and Torque are the most troubled of them all." Princess Luna remarked, "I can see why, I can't believe they still have the will to keep going." King Thorax said, "Well, now that the supernatural threats are out of the way, onto the scientific ones, I'll start with the Harvesters since we've seen what they're capable of, and yes, they're weak physically, but getting to them is the hard part, we all saw how advanced and powerful their technology and weaponry is." Princess Luna stated, "I know, right, there's no way we're gonna get past their shields, not even the Wonderbolts have anything to counter that." Rainbow Dash exclaimed, "Yeah, and same with the unicorns' magic, it ain't gonna get through, either." Applejack added, "Well, I looked at one memory and it appears something was put on their vehicles to disable their shields." Princess Luna stated, and she showed the dream to the others, "Oh, I see, it's like a computer virus, maybe I can ask them for it." Sunset Shimmer said, "What's a computer?" Rarity asked, "I'll explain later." Sunset Shimmer remarked, "Next is one we haven't seen yet, the Xenomorphs, and looking at Ripley's, Newt's, and Dwayne's memories, these creatures are very hostile, there seems to be more than one, too." Princess Luna stated, they all watched with horror at what the Xenomorphs did, "Wait, look, it looks like that big one there is their leader, maybe their social structure is similar to our own." Ocellus stated, "I think so, too, Ocellus, but one problem dealing with them is they tend to attack in groups, we have to find a way to neutralize their acid blood, too." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I'm as shocked as you all are, I have never seen anything like that in my long life, I'm as scared at encountering that as the rest of you are as well." Princess Celestia stated, "Hmm, I was wondering if we should let the dragons deal with them, maybe their scales can endure the acid." King Thorax suggested, "I don't think so, our scales are designed to withstand fire, not acid." Princess Ember answered, "If you ask me, we probably have to wipe them all out, I know it's not our ways, but we might have to make an exception with them." Starlight Glimmer spoke, "It pains me to do that as well, but I think that's the only solution to dealing with them. Next up is the Yautja, I know there hasn't been any here, yet, and they and the Xenomorphs seem to be at war with one another, but as you see here in Dutch's and others' dreams, they're not friendly, either." Princess Luna stated, "Didn't he say something about cooling your body down?" King Thorax questioned, "He did, but he suggested using mud, oh, how filthy, I am not going to cover myself in such a disgusting substance." Rarity responded, "I believe covering ourselves in snow or cold water will work." Rain Shine suggested, "Headmaster Twilight, what do you think about their visions?" Gallus asked, "Well, if I had to deduce by the information we have, they probably see us by seeing our body heats, I don't know how that kind of vision would look, though." Twilight Sparkle responded, "But how are we supposed to take them down, look, they have some crazy weapons, and they're physically powerful." Rainbow Dash reminded, "Whoa, they're seem much stronger than even the yaks and alicorns combined." Sandbar exclaimed, "I know they're frightening to watch, but maybe we can come up with something if we work together." Princess Cadence suggested, "Look at some of those dreams, too, they're not attacking anyone who can't fight back or is too weak to fight, they seem to have rules that they follow." Shining Armor stated, "Well, whatever they are, they seem to be rules too alien for us to comprehend." Princess Ember replied, "It looks like they don't attack the weak, defenseless, sick, or injured, it looks like they give their opponents a fair chance, too." Shining Armor observed, "That gives me an idea." King Thorax said, "Oh, no, Thorax, we're not going to make the changelings super peaceful and pacifistic again." Pharynx remarked, "I was thinking of just using it as a front, us changelings are no match for the Yautja." Thorax corrected, "One last thing I want to point out is they seem to self destruct when they're defeated, and the explosion is huge." Princess Luna said, and she showed it, "Wow, I don't know if my shields can withstand that." Princess Cadence stated, "I believe the best choice in this case is get all of our unicorns and alicorns to work together to cast a powerful shield." Sunburst suggested, "Agreed, an explosion like that will obliterate mine." Flash Magnus replied, "Wait, one more thing, what about their invisibility?" Rain Shine questioned, "We have spells that can detect them, some of Fluttershy's pets can sniff them out, too." Twilight Sparkle answered, "Indeed, we can render their invisibility ability useless with our magic. I will now move onto the next creature, the one MacReady simply calls the Thing, to be honest with you, this one unnerves me, its mimicking abilities is terrifyingly accurate of the one it mimics." Princess Luna said, and she showed everyone MacReady's dream and they all watched in fear of the Thing's powers, "Oh, that's scary." Fluttershy quivered, "It is, it appears to on purposely induce paranoia among others, too, it seems to have some form of sentience and intelligence beyond that of a wild animal, too." Twilight Sparkle added, "Obviously, our countermeasures must counter its mimicking abilities, we have to come up with ways in finding it when it is hiding among us." Princess Luna explained, "I still think us changelings might be able to counter it." Ocellus stated, "After seeing it in action, I doubt it, I believe changing it back with our magic would be best." Twilight Sparkle countered, "Yeah, also, it looks like dogs can sniff it out." Applejack added, "We can cast fire with our magic, too." Sunset Shimmer stated, "As you all can also see, the creature also infects and mutates any living creature it touches, so physical contact must be avoided." Princess Luna said as they watched the Thing assimilate people and animals while Volvox, Godzilla, Anguirus, Mothra, and Rodan stood back to avoid being touched by it, "I'm guessing holding it back with our magic is essential then." Twilight Sparkle said, "Indeed, and as you see in MacReady's dream here, fire and explosives are effective against it, I believe freezing it might work as well." Princess Luna replied, "With all due respect, Princess Luna, Ah don't want this thing runnin' around Equestria." Applejack stated, "Me neither, and I believe we might have to destroy this as well, I'm wagering my sister's powers over the sun can work." Princess Luna remarked, "It goes without saying that this Thing is too dangerous to be left alone wandering our world, if it does come here, we must catch it and destroy it immediately." Princess Celestia added, "I believe the dragons and us kirins will have the best chance against it, even if it mimics us, I think a dragon's fire breath and nirik fire will harm it if it tries to use them." Rain Shine spoke, the others agreed, "Next enemy are the Necromorphs, take a good look at them, first priority is not get scared, I know they have horrifying appearances, but you can't freeze in place, as you can see, they're very hostile as well." Princess Luna stated, "Wow, there's a variety of them, they're all scary looking." Princess Skystar mentioned, "I see their weakness is basically take them apart, but I'm not comfortable doing that, I think burning and freezing them would be our best options." Twilight Sparkle suggested, "There's more, look at this big stone in Isaac's dream here, I learned from his memories that it is called a Marker, it seems to be what brings the Necromorphs, it also inflicts terrifying symptoms on those nearby or come in contact with it, as you all can see from the damages it causes here in Isaac's memories, if a Marker does end up transferred here, destroying it is essential." Princess Luna explained, "Hallucinations, paranoia, dementia, depression, wow, I'm seeing clearly that this Marker is bad news, and there is no place of origin for them here in Equestria, so I agree with Princess Luna that they have to be destroyed." Twilight Sparkle stated, the others nodded, "Who is that?" Applejack asked as she pointed to Issac's dream, they all saw Isaac get picked up by a spaceship with the letters UAC on it and Samuel Hayden got Isaac out of the space shuttle, "There, there, it's okay, Isaac, the people on Earth managed to find you and we'll be moving you closer to Earth so Volvox can bring you back with his telekinesis, did you see anymore remaining Necromorphs on the USG Ishimura before going to Aegis VII?" Samuel asked, Isaac nodded, "Alright then. Hook the USG Ishimura to our ship." Samuel commanded, and they did and brought it forward, "Alright, that's good, Doom Slayer, you know what to do." Samuel said, and they saw a tall and very muscular man wearing a mostly green armored suit with orange on his left arm, his muscular arms being exposed, and a small gun on his left shoulder, he picked up a sawed-off double-barreled shotgun and walked into the USG Ishimura, "So that's the Doom Slayer." Starlight Glimmer remarked, "Still, wow, I've never seen anyone that muscular in my world." Sunset Shimmer stated, "Moving on, last group, the Terminators, I know they're scary looking, too, but as you all can see, they have several weaknesses that we can exploit." Princess Luna commented, "Ooh, Yona think yak kicks can destroy Terminators." Yona stated, "Plus, they're machines, unicorns, alicorns, and kirins can disassemble them with magic." Twilight Sparkle stated, "There's also the thunderclouds short circuiting them." Rainbow Dash added, "Ooh, ooh, I know, maybe we can shut them down permanently by putting them in water." Silverstream suggested, "I don't think that's a good idea, Silverstream, they will likely electrify the water if electricity comes out." Twilight Sparkle explained, "They don't seem to able to handle extreme temperatures, either, so maybe the fires in the Dragon Lands and cold weather of Yakyakistan will immoblize them as well." Princess Ember stated, "So the Terminators have several weaknesses, high blunt trauma, extreme heat, extreme cold, electricity to an extent, and able to be reprogrammed, I think we can come up with several countermeasures against them." Twilight Sparkle stated and the others smiled, "Alright, that's all of them, but before I finish, I have one more thing to show you all." Princess Luna said, and she showed them projections of Hulk's dream and saw him being hunted and captured wherever he went either for being seen as a monster or people wanting to harvest his powers to mutate themselves and get stronger, "Yikes, Ah can now see why Hulk wants to be left alone." Applejack remarked, "Look at him, too, look at how he moves around, it's almost like he has the mentality of a child, it's almost like he doesn't understand why he's being targeted." Twilight Sparkle commented, "Oh, that is so sad, Hulk even said no one accepts him wherever he goes." Fluttershy lamented, they saw Hulk change back to Bruce in his dream, "So that's Bruce Banner." Twilight Sparkle said, and she watched in awe at him working as a scientist, "Wow, what a contrast, it's like they're two completely different people." Rarity commented, "They might as well be, Bruce is basically the smart adult and Hulk is the strong child, I hope Bruce is as cool and awesome as Hulk is." Rainbow Dash stated, "I think he and I would be able to teach one another a lot of things." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Well, with that, that is all, I have also seen the Maykrs and Lavos in other dreams as well, it looks like our regular defenses are effective against them, so basically, our countermeasures are our magic spells and kicks, and as for the Maykrs, it looks like their heads were their weak spots." Princess Luna remarked, "Still, wow, those guys have been through a lot, the fact they're still alive is a miracle." Sunset Shimmer remarked, "It really is, Equestria would've been destroyed if they fought all of those monsters at once like how they did." Princess Cadence added, "Are we done here?" Queen Novo asked, "Well, going over their enemies, yes, we must all now work together to come up with more countermeasures." Princess Luna replied, and they began discussing creating them. Volvox and the others got on with their days and they preserved whatever food grew while Amaterasu caught fish from the water and fed the animals, everyone ate little while the other countries got on with their days and also watched them with curiosity, "Um, Chief Tom." a boy said, Tom looked back and saw him with the other kids, "About what that blue horse from earlier said, it made us notice that you and the other older people here never told us about the apocalypse and our history." the boy stated, "We were planning to tell you all when you all were older." Tom revealed, "Seeing how things are, some of us probably won't live much longer." a girl reminded, "You all can still be around and learn as ghosts." Tom reminded, "But what if we're vengeful spirits that haunt and harm others and not care about our history?" a second boy questioned, "Hmm, good point, you all won't care about our history or the apocalypse if you all become angry and vengeful ghosts, let's go ahead and teach you all now." Tom said, the kids cheered. Everybody gathered around and Harvey went into the dome and came out with a big TV screen, "There are recordings of the apocalypse on here, we can show them how bad it was." Harvey commented, "Alright, kids, let us get everything set up, Volvox has got some wall carvings with him as well." Tom stated, and Volvox got them out from underground with his telekinesis and put it up, the kids looked in awe when they saw various monsters fighting in a four-way battle, "Before you all start asking, every single one of them is a demon, their infighting is one reason why we survived the apocalypse." an old man stated, "Okay, we'll begin, everything was going on as normal in everyday life and then one day, explosions suddenly appeared, earthquakes and sinkholes followed afterwards, we thought a big disaster was happening, but soon, monsters began to emerge from the holes, the demons began attacking everybody and the vampires, werewolves, trolls, ghouls, goblins, elves, fairies, orcs, dwarfs, ogres, cyclopes, and giants soon began attacking as well since they saw it as an opportunity to wipe out us humans from existence. Humans have dominated the world for centuries as the apex species, the others didn't like that and wanted us gone." Tom explained, "Where was Volvox and Dommiel at that time?" a girl asked, "I already emerged and helped in fighting, Dommiel soon joined me afterwards." Volvox stated, "Long before the start of the apocalypse, me and Sparda defected to the humans, we helped them fight off the demons and gave them advice on how to deal with each one, it was a shame many humans forgot our advice centuries later." Dommiel added, "Giovi defected to us before the apocalypse as well, we don't know what his reasons are since he chooses not to talk, but he helped us a lot in battle as well." Tom spoke, "And Phoenix and Thunderbird?" a boy questioned, "Well, their cases are different, they're the last of their kinds, I adopted them after their species were wiped out, the two followed me into battle willingly." Volvox answered, "Several weeks into the apocalypse, several cults made of humans and other species began doing worships in secret and opened the realms to the Daedra, they soon came and things got much more chaotic, and shortly after that, our fighting caught the attentions of the Yautja, they came to fight challenging opponents and that was when the aliens came, we also discovered that had ancient structures on our world that contained Xenomorph eggs, they hatched and infected the people exploring them, that's what brought the Xenomorphs to the apocalypse." Tom continued, "What about the Necromorphs?" another boy asked, "I'll get to them soon." Tom answered, "Early during the apocalypse, I noticed that several of the monsters were not demons, and some of the companies that did space travel had Xenomorph eggs and the Necromorphs that turn people into other Necromorphs with them, I saw the Cenobites every now and then, too, alongside the Deadites, me and Dommiel did some investigating and discovered the four items that triggered the apocalypse." Volvox explained and he used his telekinesis to get them out of the ground. The kids looked on in awe and shock at seeing a big double-helix stone with blue outlines on it, boxes with different patterns on each side, a book with a face on it, and red pendants with faces on them, "Here are the four items that triggered the apocalypse, this big double-helix stone here is called a Marker, this isn't an ordinary Marker, it is magically enchanted with demonic energy and stronger than a normal Marker. These boxes here are called Lament Configurations, they are what summon the Cenobites. This book is called the Book of the Dead, its proper name is Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, this summons a demon that has been sealed away called the Kandarian Demon, that's what creates the Deadites. These pendants here are called Beherits, they are what summon the God Hand and bring forth the Apostles, I am keeping these here for now because we have not been able to find any way to destroy them." Volvox explained, "Can't you just throw that book into a fire?" another boy asked, "I tried that, it didn't work." Ash replied, "The Book of the Dead is also what opened portals to the past and future, that's how Guts, John and his crew, and Harvey and his family ended up here." Dommiel stated, "The Count of Saint Germain came to us with his time traveling powers, it was through him and John that we discovered that we survive the apocalypse, but we are in another war in the future, a war between organic life and machines, and shortly after Harvey arrived, Lavos emerged out of the ground and shot its spines on his homeland, me and the other powerful beings here fought Lavos and it disappeared, the Count of Saint Germain then went through time and noticed Lavos has been hiding under the ground for millions of years, what caused it to burst out of the ground is unknown." Volvox explained, "I was going to warn you all of Lavos, but the time my crew and I came to here was after it came out." John stated, "Lavos covered the land and made it the way it is now, some of the Yautja tried to fight it but died, so did the Terminators, they got destroyed, the Xenomorphs and Deadites fell to it as well, we all worked together to take down Lavos, it's gone now, but Volvox and Orchid have always sensed that it's not gone completely and might come back one day." Tom said, "We went back to fighting the demons, Daedra, and aliens after dealing with Lavos, it was during that time the Harvesters came to invade us, they were here to harvest our resources and kill us all." Dommiel stated, "Shortly before all of them and the people from the future came, I discovered where the apocalypse was triggered, it was in two places, the prison island Torque is from, Carnate Island, is one, the other location was an abandoned foggy town called Silent Hill, the demons used the used the Marker and Necronomicon Ex-Mortis on Carnate Island while the Beherit and Lament Configuration were activated in Silent Hill." Volvox revealed, "Were they activated one after another?" a girl asked, "No, all four were activated together at the same time." Volvox answered, "Our recordings in the future showed us the demons and Cenobites meeting in Silent Hill, the demon who summoned them were asked what his desires were, he said he wanted to spread the monsters and demonic energy of Silent Hill and Carnate Island, the God Hand and Apostles, Deadites from the Book of the Dead, and Ruvik's mind to the entire world, his also desired a magically crafted Marker to draw the Necromorphs to Earth, the demons then opened a portal that allowed them to come to our world." John explained, "The flying Necromorphs are the ones who infect other organisms to turn them into Necromorphs, during all of that chaos, the alien called the Thing was running around Antarctica and causing destruction, MacReady was already fighting it by the time we found out." Volvox added, "Luckily, none of those other aliens came to where I was at when I dealt with it, but after we persumely destroyed it, Dommiel discovered the demons arrived at the base I was stationed at and began looking for remains of it." MacReady stated, "Hulk believe demons want Thing's powers to empower their demons just like how they and other humans tried to harvest Hulk's powers to empower themselves." Hulk said, "Please don't remind me, Hulk, dealing with those gamma radiation infused Archviles is one thing I wanna forget, same with those Xenomorphs mutated by Necromorphs, that's one thing I also wanna forget." Tom stated, "We'll get back now, when we dealt with Lavos, that was when the battles got really violent, the dragons began attacking us and the chaos caused Alduin to manifest and they tried to destroy everyone, their flames purged the world and it was enough for Mothra to get involved, she tried to persuade Godzilla, Anguirus, and Rodan here to help her fight, but they refused, it was only when they got attacked they joined in, it was a real help for us, too, Godzilla, Hulk, and Guts here were our heavy hitters during the apocalypse alongside the Doom Slayer, Volvox did all of the strategies and tactics while also leading us and fighting in the battles himself, he really saved us when he helped Godzilla fight King Ghidorah." Dommiel stated, "When did King Ghidorah arrive?" a girl asked, "Around the halfway part of the apocalypse, he and Alduin got into fights over who got to lead the dragons, also during that time, the Daedric Princes began to manifest, Mehrunes Dagon was the one who caused the most destruction, Godzilla and Mothra teamed up together to put him down." Volvox answered, "Where were the rest of you all?" a boy questioned, "Me, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Anguirus, and Rodan were busy dealing with the dragons, the humans fought the Daedra, Guts was busy with the Apostles, Dante, Dommiel, and the Doom Slayer were fighting the demons, Torque was fighting the Malefactors, Ash was fighting the Deadites, Kirsty was dealing with the Cenobites, Tom, Ripley, Newt, Bishop, Dwayne, Dutch, MacReady, Snake, Isaac, Harvey, Nick, Lance, and many more humans here were fighting the Harvesters, Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, and Yautja, the Thing was already neutralized by that point, Giovi, Amaterasu, and Orchid were fighting the various monsters, ghosts, and other creatures, John, his group, and the Count of Saint Germain were fighting Skynet's creations, Harvey, Nick, Lance, and Snake fought them as well, Sebastian was still inside of Ruvik's mind trying to survive, and Hulk fought whoever attacked him." Volvox responded, "Luckily, the horrors of Ruvik's mind didn't spread to the world, but when I left, Leslie went missing, my two partners that entered with me are nowhere to be found as well, but I still got a bad surprise, to find the world overrun with monsters and demons." Sebastian said, "Unfortunately for Sebastian, the demonic energy from Silent Hill and Carnate Island already spread to the world, he said it's almost like he never left Ruvik's mind." Tom stated, "We'll find them if they're still alive, Sebastian." Snake stated, "Thanks, if Ruvik's out there, I have to stop him." Sebastian replied, "What about Hulk? What was he doing?" a boy questioned, "Hulk was trying to live in peace as Bruce, but when apocalypse started, demons and Daedra attacked Hulk, Bruce had to turn into Hulk to fight back and survive, during that time, humans who were chasing Hulk before apocalypse in hopes of creating Hulk soldiers started coming after Hulk again, so Hulk had to fight and survive to avoid being experimented on. Hulk tried to live in peace away from apocalypse, but humans, demons, and aliens wouldn't leave Hulk alone, so Hulk was forced to join forces with Volvox to survive apocalypse, Hulk fought all over the world and became one of Volvox's best agents, Hulk fought Silent Hill monsters, demons, Daedra, Malefactors, Harvesters, Terminators, Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, Yautja, Deadites, Maykrs, ghosts, Apostles, Cenobites, dragons, vampires, werewolves, elves, fairies, trolls, ghouls, orcs, ogres, dwarfs, giants, goblins, cyclopes, and creatures mutated by radiation. Hulk teamed up with Guts most during apocalypse, Hulk and Guts made a great team, but after apocalypse, Hulk's problems did not end, creatures still won't leave Hulk alone, many creatures coming to Hulk to avenge fallen comrades while Yautja will not stop hunting Hulk until Hulk is trophy, Hulk just want to live in peace." Hulk explained, "Wow, Hulk sounds lonely." a second boy stated, "Hulk not lonely." Hulk replied, "You're not a freak here, Hulk, look around you, you got me, a big Cerberus-like creature, four big creatures here like myself, a demon, a ghoul, a time traveler, three people who are part human, part mutant, part machine, and part alien, mutated humans, a wolf with god-like powers, a magic user, a Synthetic, a half human half demon demon hunter, an Apostle hunter wearing magic armor, an escaped convict who transforms into a creature, and my two birds of fire and thunder, you can call us your family if you wish." Volvox reminded, "I'm guessing Hulk has no friends." a girl remarked, "Hulk has found some companionship in Guts, Torque, Snake, and Doom Slayer, Hulk also got along with Isaac, Bruce and Isaac good friends." Hulk responded, "I find it hard to imagine Hulk and Isaac being friends." a second girl stated, "Shortly after I was brought back here from the USG Ishimura, Hulk changed back to Bruce and examined me, he also developed special medicine for me to help me combat the Marker's symptoms affecting my mind, when I began to have nightmares, Bruce listened to my story and he tried to come up with a way to wipe out the Necromorphs permanently." Isaac explained, "Did you all come up with anything?" a teenage boy asked, "Well, not a permanent solution, but we did come up with one, and I wasn't the only one there to talk about aliens." Isaac answered, "Really?" a teenage girl asked, "I was there, too, so was Newt, Hicks here, MacReady, and Dutch, we all talked about our alien experiences with Dr. Banner, he gave us medicine so we can sleep peacefully, he contacted Harvey and Orchid in an attempt to come up with a solution to deal with the alien threats." Ripley explained, "Which is?" another boy asked, "If any signs of a Xenomorph or Necromorph infestation is spotted, report it to the UAC and they will send the Doom Slayer to deal with it." Orchid responded, "It was decided that would be the best solution after the Doom Slayer cleared out the USG Ishimura of the remaining Necromorphs after I was rescued, he fared against them much better than I did." Isaac said, "Say, Orchid, where are you and your family from?" another girl questioned, "I'm not from Earth, neither is my husband, we migrated from two different worlds and had Nick on Earth, Lance is also a native to Harvey's world." Orchid stated, "We were all already on Earth when the apocalypse started, well in the future, but still here on Earth." Harvey said, "You all ready to continue?" Tom asked, the kids nodded, "Alright. When Mehrunes Dagon manifested on Earth, he wasn't the only Daedric Prince who appeared, Molag Bal also appeared and led the vampires, so did Malacath, he led the orcs into battle, Hircine also appeared and the Yautja went into his realm to get more trophies, and the abundance of Deadites and skeletons caused Meridia to manifest and fight them herself, Namira also appeared to lead and defend the things we all find repulsive, it also led to infighting within the Daedra." Tom stated, "That picture Volvox put there makes it look like there was infighting with the demons, too." Newt commented, "There was, the demons were divided into four groups with four different leaders, the leaders were Lucifer, Mundus, Argosax, and Davoth, each faction has its own type of demons, Lucifer led the biggest group, Mundus and Argosax have some of the same type of demons serving them, and Davoth's demons are a whole different variety entirely, they were also the only demons to use technology, also, you kids didn't see it, but us older members have seen Davoth's appearance, he looks just like the Doom Slayer, we wondered if they have some kind of connection to one another." Volvox said, "It was Davoth's demons who kidnapped and experimented on Hulk, Davoth wanted gamma infused demons, Archviles were first demons to become demon-Hulk hybrids, Davoth's Barons of Hell and Hell Knights were given Hulk's powers next, after them, Hulk's powers were given to Davoth's Dread Knights and Fireborne Barons, Marauders got Hulk's powers next, and Pinkies were last. After experimentation was complete, Davoth unleased five hundred Archviles and one thousand Marauders with Hulk's powers onto the world, Doom Slayer fought and destroyed them all, Doom Slayer would have fallen if not for Guts' intervention." Hulk explained, "I had to activate my armor in that battle." Guts stated, "Same, I actually had to use my devil trigger in that fight." Dante added, "It wasn't just Hulk who Davoth conducted experiments on, Xenomorphs, too, he was hoping to use them to make new demons with their acid blood to counter the Doom Slayer's usual methods of dealing with demons, it worked to an extent." Volvox stated, "He also tried to use the Necromorphs to empower his demons, but he couldn't find a way to control them and scrapped that plan." Dommiel added, "A human sided with the demons too if I remember correctly." a man said after a few seconds of silence, "Yeah, my brother, Vergil, it wasn't willingly, though, when he was under Mundus' command, he was Nelo Angelo, I learned later that he was tortured and corrupted to become him." Dante explained, "Where is he now?" a woman asked, "I don't know, but he's probably dead." Dante answered, "When the war seemed to be going badly for the demons, Mundus and Argosax themselves appeared on the Earth to fight us, Volvox, Dante, and Mothra defeated Mundus together while Amaterasu and I dealt with Argosax, Guts cut down Lucifer's army and they were forced to retreat, and when Davoth realized he was going to be targeted, he unleashed the Icon of Sin on us, it and Mundus attacked us at the same time, me, Volvox, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Godzilla, Anguirus, Mothra, Rodan, Guts, Dante, Hulk, Amaterasu, and the Doom Slayer worked together to put them down, Davoth retreated afterwards, but when the commanders fled to safety, all portals to the underworld closed and stranded the remaining demons on Earth, they fought until they died." Dommiel continued, "Eventually, when all hope seemed to be lost, and Earth was being overrun by Daedra, demons, Apostles, Malefactors, monsters from Silent Hill and other places, vampires, werewolves, trolls, ghouls, goblins, giants, elves, fairies, orcs, dwarfs, ogres, cyclopes, dragons, Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, Harvesters, Yautja, Terminators, Deadites, and ghosts, we thought we were all going to be destroyed, so us humans came to the agreement to use nuclear weapons, we shot them all over the world to wipe out our enemies, while it did destroy the majority of them, some survived, and radiation spread to the world, it mutated our native life into what you all see now. We have fights every now and then, but other than that, there's much less fighting than before, and nothing eventful happened until we were transferred to this world." Tom concluded, "Wow, sounds like the apocalypse was scary." a boy stated, "It was, we may have won and survived, but it came at a very heavy cost." Tom remarked, "There wasn't just infighting with demons and Daedra, us humans had infighting, too." a middle aged man added, "If it's okay with you all, I'll go ahead and show you all the recordings of the apocalypse." Harvey stated, and everybody watched him. Harvey turned on the TV and everybody saw fire everywhere, gunshots and fighting sounds were heard and demons and Daedra soon filled the screen. People screamed in the recording while human soldiers and tanks tried to fight off the demons and Daedra with little avail, aircraft fell out of the sky and crashed on the roads and the kids screamed when they saw the creatures from Silent Hill attacking everybody, orange blasts appeared and they got reduced to ashes, they saw Volvox shooting hellfire blasts out of his mouth and eyes to destroy all of the demons, Daedra, and monsters from Silent Hill, a Harvester's UFO flew onto the screen and sent out its smaller ships. Volvox swatted them with his front legs while Anguirus appeared in the air and rammed his back onto the UFO and destroyed it. The screen changed again and everybody saw the Terminators attacking everybody and Hulk ran to them while screaming and destroyed them with his punches, Snake threw grenades at the Hunter-Killer Tanks and shot down the Hunter-Killer Aerials with a rocket launcher, John and his group planted explosives on the Hunter-Killer Tanks in the background. The screen changed and Cenobites were walking down the street and attacking everybody and the kids screamed at their appearances, everybody then saw Kirsty being the only remaining human standing around, "Kirsty! We meet again." a male Cenobite with nails in his head said, "No! You were supposed to be gone!" Kirsty exclaimed, "Afraid not, child, it appears our master and his fellow demons have been summoned here to Earth, our fellow demons here on Earth have summoned us with strong desires of their own." the Cenobite stated, "The box was destroyed, it was put in a fire." Kirsty stated, "There is more than one box in existence." the Cenobite replied, "What was the desire of your summoner?" Kirsty questioned, "Simple, he just wanted the world to burn, so he had us spread the energies of Carnate Island and Silent Hill to the world, he also took an interest in Isaac Clarke's report on the Necromorphs, so we opened a portal here to let the Necromorphs come to Earth upon his request alongside helping him and the other demons to make a magically crafted Marker. He also desired the God Hand and Apostles, creatures from the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, and the monsters inside the mind of a man who once studied us to spread upon the entire world." the Cenobite explained, "Who is this man with the monsters in his mind?" Kirsty inquired, "Ruben Victoriano, he now goes by the name Ruvik, he is a scientist looking for a way to come back to the world after his body was destroyed, but he has decided not to summon us to achieve his desire." the Cenobite explained, "There is no one with desire here, the only desire we have is to sur..." Kirsty said shortly before the Cenobites were shot from behind and became incapciated, they fell and Kirsty saw Dante aiming Ebony & Ivory, "You called?" Dante asked, "No, I was just trying to figure out what happened." Kirsty responded, "Well, long story short, someone wants Earth destroyed." Dante stated, "Yeah, I figured that much." Kirsty spoke, "Well, come on, there's other survivors where I'm staying." Dante said, and he led her. The screen changed to a road with Xenomorphs and Yautja fighting one another, the Necromorphs joined in and it became a three-way battle, everybody heard running and saw Hulk appear on the screen with the Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, and Yautja all chasing and attacking him. The screen changed to Apostles attacking a countryside and Guts and the Doom Slayer were working together to take them down, they destroyed the Apostles violently while most watched in shock and horror. The screen changed and everyone saw Ash and Dante fighting Deadites in the front while Torque and Sebastian were fighting Malefactors in the background, Ash shot everything with his boomstick and cut everything apart with his chainsaw while Dante used his sword to fight, everyone saw Sebastian make monsters heads' explode by punching them with a brass knuckle on his right hand while Torque used various melee weapons and guns, they wiped out every monster and went their separate ways. The screen changed and everyone saw many Archviles and Marauders marching, the Doom Slayer began firing his weapons but the Xenomorph's acid blood gets on him and began eating through his armor, the Marauders moved quickly and towards the Doom Slayer while keeping their shields up, the Doom Slayer tried to shoot one Archvile from far away with his super shotgun but a Marauder dashed in front of it and the bullets hit his shield, a wolf appeared and howled and ran around to fight the Doom Slayer. One Marauder got close to him and the Doom Slayer punched him, acid blood got on his armor and began melting it, the Doom Slayer ran back while the Archviles teleported to block his path and they began summoning more demons, Dread Knights, Fireborne Barons, Tyrants, and Pinkies appeared on the battlefield, they then buffed them and the summoned demons had red lights on them. The Doom Slayer moved back and put a module on his shotgun, he began firing bombs and the chitin on the Pinkies came off, acid blood spilled everywhere and he moved back again while seeing the demons summoned by the Archviles also had Xenomorph blood in them. The Doom Slayer switched to using a chaingun and put a modification on it, an energy shield appeared and he began firing, it protected him from the Xenomorph blood for a short time before going down, the Archviles then summoned several Carcasses and they began putting up shields to block the Doom Slayer's attacks, several wolves summoned by the Marauders surrounded the Doom Slayer and got ready to attack but a cannon is heard and several enemies got blown up from behind and pistols shot into the back of many of the demons' heads. Guts and Dante ran to help the Doom Slayer and they kept their distances while the Archviles summoned more Dread Knights and Fireborne Barons, they all roared and grew bigger while turning green. The Doom Slayer noticed the Archviles were also reviving the dead demons and he quickly fired at them and they teleported elsewhere and faster than before. Dante flew up into the air and activated his devil trigger, he had a monstrous appearance and he shot lightning out of his hands at the Archviles and destroyed them, Guts fired the cannon in his artificial left arm while also using the crossbow on his wrist but their wounds healed, the Archviles kept summoning new monsters and reviving the dead ones while also buffing the nearby demons and the three made it their top priority to take them out. Dante flew around shot lightning at the Archviles while they blocked it with their shields and Hulks powers made them regenerate while they teleported around, Guts shot his cannon at them but it did almost nothing, and the Doom Slayer moved around quickly and shot them whenever he spotted them. The battle went badly for them and Guts realized there were too many enemies, he growled and his helmet's armor went onto his head on its own, his Berserker Armor activated and he began fighting wildly, he slashed the demons with his sword while ignoring the acid blood on his armor and the demons regenerating due to Hulk's powers, he moved quickly and became a blur to everyone. The Doom Slayer shot bombs from his shotgun while the demons were distracted and made them explode while Dante's devil trigger changed form as he used different weapons, the Archviles were soon too injured to regenerate and got wiped out and they focused on fighting the rest, the demons were all destroyed after a long battle and Guts and Dante changed back to normal, "Whew that was a tough battle." Dante stated, "It was, these demons are becoming as powerful as the Apostles." Guts replied, "You alright?" Dante asked, the Doom Slayer nodded, "Good, we'll leave you to your job then." Dante said, and he and Guts left. The screen changed and Isaac was fighting Necromorphs in the streets with his plasma cutter, the Necromorphs ran to him and one got close to him and Isaac held it back with his hands. Another Necromorph ran to attack him but a chainsaw began cutting it from behind, they looked and saw the Doom Slayer coming, one Necromorph ran to him and he punched it with his left arm, the Necromorph's limbs flew off and its torso flew through the air. Isaac threw the Necromorph off of himself and continued firing while the Doom Slayer used his sawed-off double-barreled shotgun and his bare hands, the two fought them and the Doom Slayer took down many more Necromorphs than Isaac, more began to come to them from behind and Hulk ran onto the screen and punched them while grunting angrily, they flew through the sky with their limbs coming off and they got rid of all of the Necromorphs. The screen changed and there were hundreds of Xenomorph eggs on the screen, Tom, Ripley, Dwayne, Bishop, Dutch, MacReady, John, Isaac, Torque, Snake, and many more humans burned them with flamethrowers while Volvox shot hellfire out of his eyes, Orchid shot fire out of her ring fingers, and the Doom Slayer shot fire out of the gun on his left shoulder, they burned the eggs until they were all gone. The screen changed and the place was dark and destroyed, everybody was fighting the demons while Mundus invaded Earth personally and Davoth was riding on the Icon of Sin, Volvox, Dommiel, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Godzilla, Anguirus, Mothra, Rodan, Guts, Dante, Hulk, Amaterasu, and the Doom Slayer dealt with Mundus and the Icon of Sin while Tom, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, Harvey, Orchid, Nick, Lance, Ripley, Dwayne, Bishop, Dutch, MacReady, John, Isaac, Torque, Sebastian, and many more humans dealt with the smaller demons. Mundus made orbs appear in midair and they fired white beams around while Dante flew around them and shot red blasts at his chest, he also made fire fall from the sky and Rodan extinguished them by flapping his wings, the Icon of Sin shot boxes out of his forehead and various demons appeared, it then shot fire out and made meteors fall from the sky. Everybody fighting Mundus and the Icon of Sin struggled due to almost all of their attacks being completely ineffective on them, Volvox lifted up the tentacles on his spine and threw the yellow seven-pointed stars around, they ricocheted off of whatever they touched and cut whoever touched them. The Icon of Sin shot fire out of its hands while Mundus shot a big white beam at everyone, Dommiel shot shadow blasts at them but they did nothing, John and Dutch fired rocket launchers at them and they did nothing, Mundus laughed as he flew forward while rolling in midair, everybody ran back when Mundus rammed and broke a nearby building and destroyed it, the people fell while others grabbed them and tried to pull them up. The Icon of Sin noticed the people distracted and slammed its fist down and destroyed more of the building to make the people fall. Hulk ran to the Icon of Sin and punched its head, it reeled back and roared with a dent in its armor, everybody then heard Mundus grunt loudly and they saw a flying dragon explode on the light on his chest, "His chest's his weak point, fly me up there." Guts ordered, and Dommiel flew down and Guts stood on his back. Dommiel flew to Mundus while Guts held his sword up, Mundus saw them coming and made more brown orbs appear and they shot small white beams at them, it did not stop them and he began summoning rocks to fall from the sky and Guts cut them with his sword, Dommiel flew forward Guts stabbed his sword into Mundus' chest, he grunted loudly while Dante sent out another small dragon and it exploded on him, he grunted loudly again and his body began to crack and reveal an orange body underneath, Volvox shot hellfire blasts out of his mouths and destroyed Mundus' stone body, he quickly went into a portal and left. Hulk continued punching and throwing objects at the Icon of Sin's armor and began cracking it, the Doom Slayer fired his rocket launcher and ballista and the Icon of Sin's armor began to break off, Davoth made orange phantom demons to attack them, Mothra shot them with her beam and destroyed them. The Icon of Sin slammed its fists down and began punching at its attackers, everybody shot at it and its armor cracked even more, it reeled back and shot more fire out of its hands, Anguirus jumped and rammed the Icon of Sin with its back, it roared and fell over, it stood back up and its armor had even more cracks and chips of it fell off. Anguirus tried to jump and ram him again but the Icon of Sin grabbed him and threw him forward, Godzilla caught him and threw him back, the Icon of Sin got hit by Anguirus' back again and its armor broke more, Hulk leaped and punched it again, the Icon of Sin reeled back while roaring and all of its armor broke. The Icon of Sin stood back up and Harvey, Nick, and Lance shot red projectiles out of their right eyes' while their right hands changed to gatling guns and they fired at the Icon of Sin, Orchid shot fire out of her ring fingers, water out of her index fingers, yellow beams and small rocks out of her thumbs, small tornadoes out of her pinkies, and lightning out of her middle fingers, Amaterasu shot beads enchanted with ice magic out of her mouth while also painting with her tail to slash the Icon of Sin and blow it up with cherry bombs, they exploded but had little effect on it. The Icon of Sin summoned a large amount of meteors and everybody exclaimed but Amaterasu painted with her tail and made mist appear that slowed down time, everybody moved away while the big members remained. Volvox shot hellfire blasts at the Icon of Sin and burned it, Godzilla shot his atomic breath but it had little effect, the spines on his back glowed red and he shot a red atomic blast at the Icon of Sin, it roared as its bones got exposed, it soon fell over and the Doom Slayer soon climbed on it and stabbed a red sword into its brain and put it down, Davoth quickly opened a portal and left, "Is everyone alright?" Volvox asked, everybody nodded, "Good, let's see if we can eat these demons as food, good job, everyone." Volvox said, and everybody rested. The screen changed and everything on Earth was destroyed and humans were being wiped out by vampires, werewolves, trolls, ghouls, goblins, elves, fairies, orcs, dwarfs, ogres, cyclopes, giants, dragons, demons, Daedra, monsters from Silent Hill, monsters from elsewhere, ghosts, Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, Yautja, Harvesters, Terminators, Maykrs, Apostles, and humans mutated with Hulk's powers, every human was wiped out and everybody saw a light in the sky, a nuclear bomb fell and blew up the entire area while the camera became static. The recordings ended and Harvey turned the screen off, "See, you all basically have an idea how chaotic the apocalypse was, you all just saw only small bits and pieces of the whole thing, and at the end when the place was nuked, the entire world was overrun with all of those creatures there out to destroy us, we really didn't want to use nuclear weapons, but at that time, there were so many enemies to us, we didn't have a choice in order to ensue our survival." Harvey explained, "Where were you guys?" a girl questioned, "Underground bunkers, I went under the Earth while Godzilla went underwater, Anguirus, Rodan, Phoenix, and Thunderbird hid in caves, and Mothra went into space." Volvox responded, "Unfortunately, as you all can see, not every human was able to make it to an underground shelter, and the radiation mutated them." Dommiel added, "What's it like for you guys?" Newt asked, "Being mutated has its pros and cons, we have to adapt to our new bodies, of course, we can't touch anyone who isn't mutated since the radation in our body is harmful to them and will mutate them, but the good thing is we are immune to radiation in other areas and we can act as search teams." a male mutant with six arms and insect legs explained, "Those who didn't survive the nuclear blasts became ghosts, what's so dangerous about that is not just humans become ghosts, every other type of creature have become ghosts as well." Orchid stated, "So, every monster is a ghost now?" a boy asked, "Pretty much." Orchid replied, "That covers the apocalypse, I'll leave this picture here if you wanna read it." Volvox stated, and everybody noticed the other countries looking at them with shock and horror, the people looked at them briefly and got on with their days. Twilight Sparkle flew to the land and landed, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, everybody looked at her, "Can I look at that picture of the demons there?" Twilight Sparkle requested, "Go ahead, it's going to be there for a while since our kids wish to learn." Tom answered, "Don't worry, I won't be long." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she flew to it. She looked at the picture and saw Lucifer's, Mundus', Argosax's, and Davoth's names on it, she kept looking and saw many more names, the names in Lucifer's group were Leviathan, Mammon, Asmodeus, Belphegor, Beelzebub, Satan, Bael, Agares, Vassago, Samigina, Marbas, Valefor, Amon, Barbatos, Paimon, Buer, Gusion, Sitri, Beleth, Leraje, Eligos, Zepar, Botis, Bathin, Sallos, Purson, Marax, Ipos, Aim, Naberius, Glasya-Labolas, Buné, Ronove, Berith, Astaroth, Forneus, Foras, Asmoday, Gaap, Furfur, Marchosias, Stolas, Phenex, Halphas, Malphas, Raum, Focalor, Vepar, Sabnock, Shax, Vine, Bifrons, Vual, Haagenti, Crocell, Furcas, Balam, Alloces, Caim, Murmur, Orobas, Gremory, Ose, Amy, Orias, Vapula, Zagan, Valac, Andras, Flauros, Andrealphus, Kimaris, Amdusias, Belial, Decarabia, Seere, Dantalion, Andromalius, and Dommiel. She made a notebook appear with her magic and wrote down their names while she saw even more names of demons under Mundus' command, they were Sparda, Phantom, Griffon, Nightmare, Cerberus, Agni, Rudra, Nevan, Geryon, Beowulf, and Doppelganger. Twilight Sparkle then looked at Argosax's demons and saw the names Orangguerra, Jokatgulm, Nefesturris, Furiataurus, Noctpteran, Tartarussian, Plutonian, Bolverk, Freki, Geri, Tateobesu, and Trismagia. Twilight Sparkle then looked at Davoth's group and saw the names Cyberdemon, Spider Mastermind, Hell Guards, Icon of Sin, Mother Demon, Resurrector, Guardian of Hell, Sabaoth, Helltime Hunter, Berserk Hunter, Invulnerability Hunter, and Maledict. Twilight Sparkle finished writing them down and drawing them while some of their appearances surprised her, she also noticed that the name Nelo Angelo was missing, she finished looking and walked to Tom, "Thank you, Tom, there's something I noticed, some of the demons under Davoth look human." Twilight Sparkle commented, "They were, Sabaoth was turned into a demon against his will, Maledict had himself transformed willingly." Tom explained, "Wait, Maledict was originally a human?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Tom nodded, "Why did he choose to become a demon?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "We're not sure, but many believe he was crazy, the people stationed with him in the space station he was at also reported to Earth that he wanted to bring the Xenomorphs and Necromorphs back to our planet." Tom responded, Twilight Sparkle's jaw dropped, "Anything else you'd like to know?" Tom questioned, "Oh, yeah, one more thing, where's this Nelo Angelo demon that Dante mentioned in that picture?" Twilight Sparkle inquired, "That picture was made before his brother became Nelo Angelo, it was made before Dante was born, see that demon Sparda there in that picture? That's their father." Tom explained, "Wow, so that's your dad, what did your mom look like, Dante?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "My mother was an ordinary human." Dante responded, "Oh, so she looked just like the others here." Twilight Sparkle commented, Dante nodded, "Well, I'm done here, thanks for your time, guys." Twilight Sparkle said, and she flew away. Three days passed and Tom counted the food and safe water while trying his best to preserve it while Volvox made any land that appeared connect to their land and the everybody looked for survivors, "Excuse us, Chief Tom." a girl said, "What is it?" Tom asked, "Can we explore the other countries?" the kids asked together, the natives looked at them and the ponies, changelings, and kirins smiled, the dragons and griffons scowled, and the yaks, seaponies, and hippogriffs had neutral expressions, "Well, I'm not sure if that's a good idea, some of those natives don't look welcoming." Tom commented, "We just wanna see the friendly countries." a boy said, the other kids nodded, "I suppose it's fine to enter their countries, Tom, I don't see any border patrol at the other countries." Volvox said, the natives exclaimed with confusion and murmured, "What's border patrol?" Gabby asked, another female griffon shrugged, "Well, go ahead, but the adults will be with you in case there's trouble or danger, and if any threats come up here, you all are to come back and help us defend our land." Tom ordered, "Yes, Chief Tom." the kids stated, and they all headed to Equestria and Kirin Grove while Volvox used his telekinesis to move them across the water and the ponies and kirins smiled. The humans arrived in Equestria and Princess Celestia was waiting for them, "Hello, and welcome to Equestria, I am Princess Celestia, co-ruler of this country along with my sister. I hope you all enjoy your stay here, we have been looking forward for you all to come for quite a while now, so feel free to explore and have fun." Princess Celestia stated, the humans looked around while she noticed the humans brought knives, spears, bows, crossbows, arrows, bolts, guns, and bullets with them, "One more thing, everyhuman, no need for weapons, we are a very safe and peaceful country, I promise you all any violence or fighting here is unlikely among most of my subjects." Princess Celestia stated, "We were told your country had several conquerers and invaders." a man replied, "Well, yes, but they arrive every once in a while, same with any threats or danger, those are few and far between here as well." Princess Celestia stated, "And if any of your subjects try to pick a fight with us?" a woman questioned, "I will hear out all sides, but keep in mind that most fights we have are arguments and disagreements that are usually solved within several minutes, there's usually no violence involved." Princess Celestia explained, "Oh." the woman said, "Well, go ahead and explore, and try to have fun." Princess Celestia stated, and she flew away. The humans walked together while the ponies waved at them and said hi, they waved back and the kids looked in awe at seeing stores, restaurants, circuses, magic shows, and gardens, "Wow, it looks just like Earth before the apocalypse." an old woman stated, they kept walking and looking more, "It mostly is, but it looks like they don't have some of our technologies like TVs, radios, video games, or phones." a middle aged man spoke, they kept walking together while the ponies got on with their days and stopped when they saw a magic show going on, "Come one, come all, and witness the brilliance of the Great and Powerful Trixie." a unicorn said loudly, she appeared and everybody cheered, "Now, watch in awe as the Great and Powerful Trixie displays her magnificent magic tricks with the help of her partner, Starlight Glimmer." Trixie announced while Starlight Glimmer appeared on the stage. They performed magic tricks while the audience cheered and the human kids were in awe, they continued doing magic tricks while the older humans had flashbacks of gunfire when the two unicorns did bright lights for their performances, they tried to suppress the memories and enjoy the show, they finished and everybody cheered, "Wow, that was so cool." a boy stated, "It was, come on, let's keep exploring." a middle aged man replied, and they walked. The humans walked around Equestria and encountered a few wild animals while traveling, they fired warning shots into the sky and the loud gunshot scared the animals away, they also tried to buy stuff at the restaurants but the ponies explained that they do not accept dollar bills as currency and use bits, the kids began to get hungry and lose energy and the adults carried them. They arrived in Canterlot and the high class ponies turned away from them and scoffed, "Wow, they're just like the rich folk from pre-apocalyptic Earth." a middle aged woman commented, "Yup, some of them were among the first victims of the demons." a middle aged man replied, "What happened?" a girl asked, "Well, some rich people like to collect art from all over the world, some of them turned out to be demon artifacts or possessed by vengeful ghosts, either the demons were summoned through them, or the ghosts haunted them." an old man explained, "Oh." the girl stated, "Not all rich people were like that, though, some of them were military veterans and helped us fight immediately." a second middle aged man commented, "Is Chief Tom from a rich family?" a boy asked, "No, Chief Tom's from a middle-class family, he was a soldier doing active duty in the army when the apocalypse started." a second old woman explained, "Wow, that is very cool." the boy responded, "It's still a shame you all were born after everything was destroyed, what you all see here is pretty close to how our world was before the apocalypse began." a second old man stated, the kids looked around and looked in awe at the castle, "Why, hello there, newcomers." Princess Luna said as she flew down, "I am Princess Luna, sister of Princess Celestia and co-ruler of Equestria." Princess Luna announced, "Do you guys have any title higher than Princess?" a girl asked, "Nope, that's the highest title granted in our country." Princess Luna replied, "How unusual, so no queen or empress." a man stated, "We never had those titles in our country, it never occurred to us to use them." Princess Luna stated, "What about goddess?" a teenage boy questioned, "Oh, goodness, no, such a title would never be permitted in our country." Princess Luna spoke, "Say, why do a few of you have both, a horn and wings, is that a genetic thing or something?" a middle aged man asked, "Well, it might be now since my adopted niece's daughter was born as one, but before that, no, we had to do a princess worthy deed to become alicorns, us with both, horns and wings, are rulers of this country, there is five of us, me, my sister Celestia, my adopted niece Princess Cadence, her husband's sister Twilight Sparkle, you all already met her, and my niece's daughter, Flurry Heart." Princess Luna explained, "Being a leader doesn't mean too much for us, Chief Tom is mostly relaxed and a calm person." another stated, "Well, it's mostly because your world is destroyed, if it was developed like our country, you will see how busy being a leader or royalty really is." Princess Luna responded, "Um, where is that purple horse who visited us live?" another girl asked, "Princess Twilight lives in Ponyville to the south of here, my niece, her husband, and their daughter live in the Crystal Empire north of here, and we're called ponies, we don't use the word 'horse' to describe our kind here." Princess Luna answered, "You kids wanna go see Twilight Sparkle again?" another middle aged man asked, the kids cheered, "She's in Ponyville, can't miss it, I hope you all like it there." Princess Luna said, and she flew away while the humans went south. The humans in Kirin Grove looked around and some of the older ones had flashbacks, "Welcome to Kirin Grove, I am Rain Shine, ruler of this area, we recently reopened our country to others ever since we decided to end our vow of silence." Rain Shine stated, "Where's the one that was waving at us when we first arrived in this world?" a man asked, "Pardon?" Rain Shine commented, "There was one waving at us with a smile when we first came to this world." the man explained, "Oh, that's Autumn Blaze, that's her right there." Rain Shine answered as she pointed to her, "Why, hello there, everybody. My name's Autumn Blaze, I'm happy to see you all finally come here, I have been so lonely until we reopened recently, we closed because two kirins argued, turned into niriks, and ended up burning our village down, long story. I refused to take the vow of silence so we don't get angry and burn down the village again, so Rain Shine sent me away to live in the woods on my own away from the others, and I got so lonely, I had to make friends out of inanimate objects to keep myself company and talk to my shadow so I believe I had a friend, I also made imaginary friends to invisible to everybody except me while I was living all by myself, I'll let you all know where they're at when we..." Autumn Blaze said, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down a bit, I know you're excited, but we just got here, and we wanna take in the scenry first." a middle aged man stated, "Oh, go ahead, make yourselves at home, I think you all will enjoy the sights we have here." Autumn Blaze stated, and she trotted elsewhere. The humans looked at Kirin Grove and the older members looked at the kirins' homes, "Why do you all look interested in their homes for?" a girl questioned, "They look just like the old mound homes from our world from thousands of years ago." an old woman answered, the kirins murmured while the humans continued looking, "Look at that, they have puppetry, singing, stand up comedy, and making tea, just like our world before it was destroyed." a man stated, "Oh, that's wonderful, maybe we can exchange them with one another." Autumn Blaze suggested, "Well, we don't really have any tea anymore, but maybe we can do the rest." another man spoke, "I remember wanting to be a comedian before the apocalypse began." a young man commented, "Well, maybe now you can." Rain Shine stated, "Maybe." the young man said, "If you all want, I can show you the forest around here." Autumn Blaze stated, "Sure, it does look pretty full of life." a boy stated, "Great! Come on, there's a lot of stuff to see there, I'll show you all around since it's easy to get lost." Autumn Blaze spoke, and they followed her. The humans in Equestria arrived in Ponyville and they got startled and aimed their bows, crossbows, and guns when Pinkie Pie's party cannon went off, "Hello! I have prepared for you alls' Welcome to Ponyville party!" Pinkie Pie hollered, and music began playing while she danced. The kids clapped along and cheered her on while the adults looked around Ponyville, "Quite an interesting place they have here." a man said, "Yeah, it's different from the last area, almost like country folk versus city folk back at home." a woman replied, "Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to look around." an old man stated, the others agreed and walked together. Everybody looked around and saw Sweet Apple Acres, they decided to go over and saw Applejack, Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom, and Granny Smith there, "Why, howdy, y'all, Ah see y'all have finally decided to come visit us." Applejack stated, "I remember you." a middle aged man commented, "Ya better, Ah'm the only one of that group who does farmin'." Applejack responded, and they watched her family work, "Wow, they're doing a much better job at growing food than we are." a girl commented, "Their land's not polluted with radiation like ours, their soil is probably healthier, too." a second man replied, "We've had lots of time to grow, too, we don't really have any starvin' and strugglin' to survive people like y'all, so we have the time to grow apple trees." Applejack commented, "We've had apple trees before the apocalypse, but they're destroyed now." an old man said, "Oh, dang, if y'all want, the deal with mah family and I givin' y'all some of our apples is still available if y'all need it." Applejack stated, "Eeyup." Big Macintosh said, "Thanks, but Chief Tom will have to decide that." an old woman replied, "Y'all wanna try some of our famous apple recipes?" Apple Bloom suggested, "What do apples taste like?" the human kids asked the adults together, "Come on in, and Ah'll get y'all some apples, and try to unwind, y'all kids should be outside, playin', havin' fun, not bein' forced to preserve food and fightin' to survive." Granny Smith answered, and they entered. The Apple family began making their dishes and they smelled the food in the air, "Mmm, that smells good." a boy stated, "Hold your appetite, it was customary when I was your age not to eat until everybody got their dish." an old woman responded, and they waited until they finished cooking and served the dishes, "Alright, y'all, time to eat." Granny Smith said, and they did. The kids ate messily while the adults chuckled, they enjoyed the apple dishes, they finished and the kids smiled, "Mmm, this is yummy." another boy stated, "Thank you." a girl spoke, "Yer welcome, tell y'all what, we'll give y'all some of our apples so the other kids can try 'em, but we'll need to examine the soil first before we plant a tree there." Granny Smith spoke, "Can I visit y'all one day?" Apple Bloom requested, "Sure, but not when we're being attacked." a middle aged man replied, "Okay." Apple Bloom chirped, "Have fun explorin' Ponyville, y'all." Applejack spoke, and they left. The humans kept walking through Ponyville and saw Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Rarity again, "So this is where they live." a girl said, "It's a pretty nice place, I gotta admit." a man replied, "Well, come on, let's see what else they have here." a middle aged woman stated, and they walked. They looked at the places and their attentions were caught at seeing Sugarcube Corner, "Is that building... made out of candy?" a second man asked, "It looks like it." a woman responded, "Look at that, just like Hansel and Gretel." a third man commented, the older members chuckled, "Hansel and Gretel?" Twilight Sparkle asked as she walked to them, "Old fairy tale from our world." an old woman answered, "Oh, I'd like to read it if possible, but let's get to what I want to ask, are you all liking Equestria so far?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's alright." a teenage boy answered, the other humans nodded, "My castle is over there, and over there is the School of Friendship, I'm the headmistress of that school." Twilight Sparkle explained, "School of Friendship?" an old man asked with confusion, "I don't know how you guys' world is, but friendship is an extremely valued trait in our country and culture, it literally powers our country's defenses against outside threats and prevents the Wendigos from coming and freezing our country, we are big on love and forgiveness, too." Twilight Sparkle explained, "Our enemies were not the types to forgive." another teenage boy stated, "You guys didn't at least try to sit down and negotiate a peace treaty or truce between you all and your attackers?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "Nope, they just started attacking and killing us immediately." a fourth man answered, "Not only that, some of our attackers are like wild animals and driven by instinct, logic and reasoning doesn't work on them." a young boy added, "But you all said two demons defected to your side." Twilight Sparkle reminded, "And only those two, every other demon remained firmly on killing humans." a middle aged woman spoke, "There weren't any creatures willing to form a truce of some sort?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "Best chance for that is with the Yautja and Cenobites, but that's unlikely to happen, the Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, and the Thing are like wild animals and driven by a desire to survive and kill, the Harvesters want to kill all life, the Terminators are machines and can't be reasoned with, the demons and Daedra actively seek out people to kill, and pretty much everything else wants to kill all life." a teenage girl explained, Twilight Sparkle looked at her with a shocked and baffled expression, "Trust us, we wish it wasn't that way, but you must keep in mind that they attacked us first, it was fight back or be killed for us." a fifth man stated, "Well, hopefully, you all won't have to resort to that here, I'll leave you all to explore Ponyville now." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she left while the humans continued exploring. Volvox, Dommiel, Phoenix, Thunderbird, and Mothra watched the humans traveling the other countries and noticed them having fun, "Hey, Tom, your subjects are actually enjoying themselves in the other countries." Volvox said, "That's good, we probably have to migrate elsewhere sooner or later anyway." Tom replied, "How's the crops and rations looking?" Dommiel asked, "Low, it's getting worse, too, the soil here is losing its nutrition and won't be able to grow much more." Tom answered, "We're not going to have to make Soylent Green, are we?" Ash questioned, "We're trying to avoid that." Volvox responded, "Hulk don't want to be put in another Soylent Green factory." Hulk said, "We'll try to avoid that, Hulk, but if things get really bad, you might have to share your canned beans with everyone." Dommiel spoke, "No, canned beans for Hulk." Hulk remarked, "The others will starve if you don't share, Hulk." Volvox reminded, Hulk got a little smaller while thinking about what Volvox said, "The sun's beginning to set, I think now would be a good time to bring them back." Orchid commented, Volvox looked and saw the humans standing at the water and waiting, Volvox brought them to the land with his telekinesis. The humans arrived back and smiled, "How were the other lands?" Newt asked, "Fun! The people are nice, too!" a boy responded, "It looks a bit like Earth before the apocalypse, too, they also have some of the same forms of entertainment as us." a man added, "Yeah, just minus technologies like TV, radios, video games, and phones, they seem to have go carts, though." a woman said, "We also brought back apples for you all." a girl stated, and they shared it with the others, "Look at that, sweet apples, I guess they don't have any sour ones." Tom commented, "Well, Tom, maybe our migration to another land to survive problem might be solved." Volvox said, "I sure hope so, we won't last another year if we stay here." Tom replied, "I'm tired from traveling today." a boy spoke, "Me too, I'd like to get some sleep." a girl added, "Might as well, sun's about to set." Nick said, and they all slept. The next morning came and another land appeared to the south after everybody was awake, Volvox moved it forward briefly but stopped when he sensed something off, "What's wrong, Volvox?" a girl asked, "I sense a malevolent force there." Volvox responded, Amaterasu walked forward and looked, she got into a defensive position and beared her teeth, "Ammy's sensing something off, too." Issun commented, "Harvey, Nick, Lance, are your robotic eyes picking up anything?" Orchid asked, "Nope." Nick replied, "Nothing." Harvey answered, "I'm not getting anything." Lance stated, Dommiel made black shadow wings come out of his back and flew forward. He examined the place and saw transparent light blue figures with angry expressions looking at him, he quickly flew back, "Ghosts!" Dommiel hollered, the ghosts of humans, demons, vampires, werewolves, trolls, ghouls, goblins, elves, fairies, orcs, dwarfs, ogres, cyclopes, giants, and dragons flew forward and went to attack the people. Volvox's eyes glowed light blue as he looked at the astral plane while Dommiel tried shooting his shadow magic at them but it went through them, Giovi's magic and Orchid's magic went through them as well. The ghosts possessed the food, grass blades, and weapons, and they began floating around, they began attacking everybody while Volvox focuses and tried to force the ghosts out. Guts cut the grasses with his sword and the spirits flew out, "Hmm?" Guts said as he noticed the ghosts were moving around in the daytime, "These ghosts are different from the ones I usually fight." Guts remarked, Giovi enchanted his finger blades with magic and a light red outline surrounded his ten blades. He tried slashing the ghosts but it had no effect, one tried to possess him and he resisted with his willpower and shot the ghost out. Volvox used his spiritual powers to forcefully pull the ghosts out of the objects they possessed and they flew around and tried to fill the people's minds with unpleasant flashbacks. Several people fell to the ground and cried and screamed while clutching their heads, Amaterasu painted horizontal lines with her tail and slashes appeared but they did not affect them, "Harvey, contact Samuel, we need microwave beams." Volvox ordered, Harvey nodded and turned on the screen and Samuel Hayden appeared, "This is the UAC, what is your emergency?" Samuel questioned, "Ghosts, hundreds of them." Harvey answered, "Hang on, I'll be deploying plasma rifles with microwave beam modules attached now." Samuel said, and he went off. The ghosts possessed the Terminators and they began shooting their weapons at everybody, while Harvey, Nick, and Lance tried to shut them down with their psychic powers but it had no effect, Orchid shot lightning out of her middle fingers and tried to short circuit them but it did not work. A twinkle appeared in the sky and a big metallic crate with fire around it flew down and landed on the ground and left a crater. Snake ran to it and the crate opened itself and he saw the weapons, the ghosts quickly flew to possess them and the rifles floated around and shot at everybody. Volvox focused and tried to force the ghosts out of the plasma rifles but they began shooting at his three heads, he leaned down to dodge them and soon got them out, he then gave the plasma rifles to the humans with his telekinesis. Every human except Newt and the kids used the microwave beams on the ghosts while Volvox held them in place with his telekinesis and the ghosts got destroyed by the microwave beams, all of them were soon destroyed. Everybody except Volvox, Giovi, Guts, Hulk, Bishop, and the Terminators panted while looking around, "Is everyone alright?" Tom asked, everybody nodded, Volvox then connected the land to theirs and Bishop, Hulk, and the mutants went to go examine it. They examined area while the mutants with psychic powers moved the buildings around while Hulk flipped them over, "No survivors." Bishop reported, "Didn't think so, the ghosts haunting the place probably killed them all." Dommiel remarked, and Volvox brought Bishop back while the others walked back. Everybody rested and noticed the other countries watching them, they heard them murmuring about the ghosts and discussing creating countermeasures, "I guess they don't have countermeasures against ghosts." Dante commented, "Neither did we until the Doom Slayer discovered his microwave beam works, it's a miracle the UAC had it mass produced to deal with the ghosts." Tom replied, "Well, I guess we'll have to hold onto them for now." Ash said, the others agreed and got on with their days until another island appeared to the east. Volvox moved it forward slowly with his telekinesis while everybody aimed their weapons, "I'll swallow your soul!" a raspy distorted female voice said, and creatures appeared out of the buildings, "Deadites!" a man said, "Step back, everyone, I got this." Ash stated, and he walked forward. The Deadites ran forward while Ash readied his chainsaw, they swam to the land and Ash began fighting them and shooting them with his boomstick, many Deadites went down and the demons possessing them flew out and went on to try to possess others and Volvox's eyes glowed light blue and he tried to destroy them. The Kandarian Demons floated down to the people and tried to possess them but everybody ran away while Dommiel got the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis. He opened it and looked for the page to seal the spirits away and found it. He began reciting the passage while his voice echoed and Ash heard him, he continued fighting the Deadites while Guts and Dante joined in and helped him, a big swarm of Deadites came out and they ran to attack them. Ash floated into the air with orange lightning coming out of his limbs while his torso moved around, he landed and bent down, he stood up and growled while he grew taller and more muscular, his eyes turned pure white, his skin turned to an orangish hue, and orange electricity moved around his body. Ash moved faster before and fired his boomstick constantly and each shot made the Deadites explode, he also attacked them with his chainsaw and destroyed them easily. Guts and Dante cut down the Deadites with their swords and Guts remained stoic and serious while Dante had fun, all of the Deadites were destroyed and the demons floated up and looked for hosts. Dommiel finished reciting the passage and a portal open and sucked in the demons while Volvox held everybody with his telekinesis, all of the demons got sucked in and Dommiel recited another passage to close the portal. Everybody sighed with relief while orange electricity appeared on Ash and he changed back to normal, he puts his boomstick on his back and looked back, "See, everyone, that's why I'm hired to deal with the Deadites." Ash commented, "What did you turn into?" a boy asked, "Oh, that? That's just my bad side, when my job gets hard, my bad side emerges to put those Deadites in their places." Ash explained, "You look like you turned into a Deadite yourself." Newt remarked, "That's why it's called my bad side, I try to keep it from emerging, but sometimes, I have no choice." Ash responded, "You're not gonna attack us, are you?" a girl asked, "Nah, don't worry, I can tell friend from foe." Ash replied, and he walked back while Volvox connected the new land to theirs and everybody got on with their days. The Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer stood together and watched the land, "Did you all see what Ash turned into?" Scootaloo asked, "Yes, I think we all did, Scootaloo." Princess Celestia answered, "What do you all think it was?" Sweetie Belle questioned, "Well, considering that he seemed to turn into one of those things, I'm guessing he turned into a Deadite but he's against them." Princess Luna deduced, "I wonder what gave him the ability to turn into one." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Who knows, but he did call it his bad side, I guess he changes to it when he's mad." Starlight Glimmer replied, "He didn't sound serious when he said that." Sunset Shimmer reminded, "Well, whatever it is, it's clear that he has high destructive power in that form, let's go ahead and keep an eye on them and see if anymore of them can transform." Princess Celestia spoke, and they walked back to their homes. Four days passed with no incident and Tom counted the amount of crops they had, "Our food's getting low, the soil won't grow much more, we'll have to start migrating soon." Tom stated, "The farm family we met in the horses' country said they're willing to plant apple trees here for us if the soil's suitable for growing them." a girl explained, "Well, what do you say, Volvox?" Tom asked, "Tom, remember, I'm not the ruler anymore, you are, you decide." Volvox reminded, "Alright then, let's hold a vote, how many want to try to have the apple trees planted here?" Tom asked, he and everybody else raised their hands' while Volvox raised his front right leg, "Oh, it's an unanimous vote, let's go ask them." Tom said, and Volvox sent the humans who visited Equestria back with his telekinesis and they headed to Sweet Apple Acres, they signaled they were ready and Volvox brought them all back with his telekinesis. The Apple family got their items out and they began testing the soil's Ph level, "Ph level is fine, Ah'll go ahead and test to see how much fertilizer this soil's got." Granny Smith stated, and Apple Bloom helped her set up the tester, they watched the numbers appear on a small screen, "There's enough fertilizer, let's go ahead and try plantin' a few, we're gonna need help with the diggin' if y'all don't mind helpin'." Granny Smith said, and the teenage and adult humans dug the ground by hand and Applejack and Big Macintosh planted an apple tree, "There, we're gonna go ahead and plant the rest, and if possible, maybe spread it out a bit." Applejack stated, "Negative, my readings say all of the other places here have radiation in their soil, it will mutate the trees." Bishop remarked, "Oh, well, um, Ah guess it's gonna get a little cramped here then." Applejack said, and they planted the rest while Orchid used her earth magic to open holes in the ground and Volvox and Giovi planted them with their telekinesis, "There, it took quite some time, but that's all of 'em." Applejack spoke, "Any of you know how to take care of apple trees?" Tom questioned, "I do, I know when to water them, how to prune them..." a woman spoke, "Whoa, whoa, whoa there, these are magical trees, the apples grow on their own, no need to do any waterin' or prunin'." Applejack stated, "Oh, that's convenient." the woman said, "Say, y'all have any cooking utensils?" Apple Bloom asked, "Well, we did have cuisine, but a lot of ovens, stoves, cooking utensils, and recipe books were destroyed during the apocalypse, we don't cook here because we don't have any rocks or sticks to use, so we eat everything raw." a man spoke, "Well, Ah suppose some sticks and pots wouldn't hurt, hope y'all don't mind campfire cookin'." Applejack said, "What's campfire cooking?" a boy asked, "We'll show you all if possible since you all never saw cooking before." a man responded, "Actually, mah family and I cooked in our kitchen when some of y'all visited us." Apple Bloom reminded, "Oh." the kids said, "So that's what cooking is." one girl remarked, "Y'all never seen cookin' before?" Apple Bloom inquired, "They were born after all of civilization on our world was destroyed." Tom responded, "They were born here, too, and we don't have anything to use for cooking besides making a fire with the grass." Dommiel added, "Oh." Apple Bloom stated, "Well, best of luck to y'all, mah brother here and Ah have to get back to our farm and pick more apples to sell." Applejack said, and Volvox sent them back with his telekinesis while Granny Smith, Applejack, and Apple Bloom said bye and Big Macintosh waved at them. The next day came and everybody except Volvox, Dommiel, Phoenix, Thunderbird, and Hulk ate the apples, Hulk dumped a full can of beans into his mouth and burped loudly, the ground shook from it, everybody continued eating the apples until they were full. Volvox looked at the Marker, the collection of Beherits, the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, and the collection of Lament Configurations, "What is it, Volvox?" Orchid asked as she walked to him, "I've been trying to think of a way to destroy these, but nothing's worked so far, Dommiel and I have made no progress on getting rid of them." Volvox explained, "Wanna try combining everything we have together?" Orchid suggested, "Sure, as long as it destroys these." Volvox responded and everybody stepped back. Volvox reeled up on his hind legs and orange light appeared on the balls of his front feet, on the tips of front feet's toes with five on each one, in his three mouths, and in his six eyes and inside the two eyes holes of his skeletal head, and red electricity appeared on his tail's tip, Dommiel made black energy appear in his hands, Tom, the Count of Saint Germain, Snake, and several more humans aimed their bows, crossbows, and guns, Giovi's blades glowed light red, Phoenix and Thunderbird spread their wings, Harvey, Nick, and Lance changed their right hands into guns while their right eyes' glowed red while using their psychic powers to instruct the Terminators to aim their guns, Orchid had fire on her ring fingers, water on her index fingers, yellow beams surrounded by rocks on thumbs, tornadoes on her pinkies, and lightning on her middle fingers, Ripley and Dwayne aimed high-powered guns, Dutch held a gatling gun, John and MacReady lit bombs, Ash transformed back into his Deadite form, Guts activated his Berserker Armor, Godzilla's spines glowed red, Mothra was ready to fire a beam, Rodan readied his wings, Dante activated his devil trigger and aimed three gun barrels out of his palms, Torque turned into the Creature and had white electricity around himself, Isaac grunted loudly as he held and aimed his contact beam and charged it, Sebastian aimed a rocket launcher, Amaterasu got ready to paint with her tail, and Hulk growled as he grew bigger, "Should we ask the UAC to deploy the BFG?" a middle aged man questioned, "Nah, it's too risky, if we fire it wrong, there's risk it will hit us or the other countries, plus, the Doom Slayer has it, I don't think he's willing to give it up." an old man answered, "Okay, on three, everybody, one, two, three." Tom ordered, and they attacked. Volvox shot hundreds of hellfire blasts out of his eyes, mouths, tips of his front toes, balls of his front feet, and red electricity out of the tip of his tail, Dommiel shot a big black shadow blast, Giovi shot red blasts out of his knife blades, Tom, the Count of Saint German, Ripley, Dwayne, Dutch, Sebastian, Snake, and the other humans fired their bows, crossbows, and guns, the Terminators fired their plasma weapons, Phoenix and Rodan flapped their wings and fire and gusts of wind went forward, Thunderbird shot lightning out of his wings, Harvey, Nick, and Lance shot big red blasts out of their right eyes' and missiles out of the guns replacing their right hands, Orchid shot fire, water, earth, wind, and lightning blasts fused into one, John and MacReady threw the bombs, Ash fired explosive shells from his boomstick, Guts began moving wildly while slashing the artifacts at blinding speeds and fired the cannon built into his prosthetic left arm, Godzilla and Mothra shot beams and blasts out, Dante shot fire, ice, and lightning projectiles out of his palms at the speed of machine guns, Torque's electricity electrocuted the artifacts and created explosions, Isaac fired his contact beam, and Amaterasu painted and made cherry bombs, tornaodes, big fire, heavy rain, lightning bolts, and ice appear, they stopped to take a break and Anguirus and Hulk jumped forward, Anguirus rammed the artifacts with his back while Hulk landed on the ground while screaming and slammed his fists down and made another crater. Everybody stopped and waited for the dust to clear, Ash, Guts, Dante, and Torque changed back to normal while they waited, it cleared and everybody's eyes' widened when they saw the Marker, the Beherits, the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, and the Lament Configurations were completely undamaged, "What the?" a man asked, "It didn't work." Snake commented, "I don't understand, that Marker was supposed to be destroyed. That Marker was supposed to be destroyed!" Isaac said angrily, "Isaac, remember, this isn't an ordinary Marker, this is a magically crafted one, the other three are magically crafted as well." Volvox reminded, "Hulk smash demon artifacts!" Hulk hollered and he grew even bigger. He began punching his fists into the ground and made more craters as he tried to destroy the Beherits and Lament Configurations, he stopped and panted and saw the artifacts were undamaged, "What do we do then?" Newt questioned, "Maybe we can help." Princess Luna said as she and Princess Celestia flew to them. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna landed and walked to them, "I can see you all are having trouble getting rid of them, I wish to see what we can do since these artifacts put us and the other creatures here in danger as well, we'll see if we can destroy them, if not, then at least try to seal them away." Princess Celestia explained, "Which one do you two want gone first?" Volvox asked, "The Marker, I have seen firsthoof what it does and its effects, destroying or nullifying that thing is imperative." Princess Luna answered, "We'd rather have them destroyed completely." the Count of Saint Germain stated, everybody agreed, "Let us see what we can do. Hulk, would you kindly step back?" Princess Celestia requested, and he did. Princess Celestia's and Princess Luna's horns had magic auras around them and they tried casting a spell to destroy the artifacts, they shot big blasts out of their horns while Princess Celestia also made the sun stronger and had a big ray come out and tried to burn the artifacts, Princess Luna then summoned lightning and zapped them, they stopped and looked with shock when they saw the artifacts were undamaged, "My, these artifacts are persistent." Princess Celestia commented, "I guess you all can't destroy them, either?" Guts asked, "Hold on, I'm going to get others for help." Princess Celestia answered, and she flew away, "I'm assuming our magic and powers are still new to you." Tom stated, "Yes, they are, you all have so much variety in your resources, I've been alive for over a thousand years, and this is my first time ever hearing about things like demons, Daedra, aliens, and radiation." Princess Luna answered, "Do you have any magical artifacts in this world?" Ash questioned, "Yes, we do, but most of our artifacts are used for good, they're not as destructive as these four, either." Princess Luna responded, "Which one scared you the most?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "The Marker, definitely, I can't believe something like this exists, it shouldn't be real, the Beherit is a close second as well, these shouldn't real if you ask me." Princess Luna commented, "About the Marker, the UAC has reported to us there are several traveling throughout space on asteroids, they also reported that they seem to fly to planets with sentient life in particular." Volvox said, "What? There's more?" Princess Luna inquired, "They said they've seen hundreds of them." Harvey replied, Princess Luna had a horrified expression. Princess Celestia came back and Princess Cadence and Twilight Sparkle flew with her, they landed and Star Swirl the Bearded, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Trixie, Sunburst, and Shining Armor appeared, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Spike, Garble, Smolder, and the dragons flew to the land, and Autumn Blaze, Rain Shine, and the kirins trotted on water and arrived at the land, Volvox carried them forward with his telekinesis and over the radioactive territories, "Is Flurry Heart okay?" Princess Cadence asked, "She's asleep right now, we decided it would be best not to bring her because we don't want the Marker to affect her." Sunburst answered, "Okay, everyone, join with me, let's combine our powers together." Princess Celestia ordered, and they did. The land's natives did their attacks again while Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Sunburst, Star Swirl the Bearded, Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Trixie fired their most powerful blasts from their horns while the kirins transformed into niriks and shot fire out of their horns and the dragons used their fire breaths, Princess Celestia also made the sun fire a big ray down while Princess Luna summoned lightning to electrocute the artifacts. Everybody stopped and Ash, Guts, Dante, Torque, and the kirins changed back to normal, the ponies, dragons, and kirins exclaimed with shock at seeing the artifacts were still undamaged, "What the? Even with our combined might, we still can't destroy them." Princess Ember stated, "You all! As big as me! Let's try stomping on them!" Dragon Lord Torch suggested and he alongside Volvox, Godzilla, and Anguirus tried smashing the artifacts with their feet but it did no damage, "What do we do then?" Trixie questioned, "Seal them away and place spells on them to nullify their powers, I'm hoping at least that will work." Princess Celestia answered, "Before we do that, I would like to look at the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis and examine that book's contents." Twilight Sparkle said, "Good luck with that, not even I can translate its language." Dante replied, Twilight Sparkle opened the book with her telekinesis and the others looked, "Wha...? What is this?" Princess Luna questioned as she saw the drawing of monsters in it and everything written in blood and in an unknown language, "It was first found at the cabin I was staying at, a man there and his daughter that arrived later were able to read and understand its contents, but both of them are dead now." Ash remarked, "P... Princess Twilight, you're not gonna use it, are you?" Garble quivered, "No, of course not, I just wanna take a look at it, and if possible, have it translated." Twilight Sparkle replied, "For what?" Dommiel asked, "So I can know what the pages say, and if possible, I can create counter spells against the book's powers and whatever creatures that it summons." Twilight Sparkle responded, "I think it's for the best, the Deadites will attack anyone regardless of who or what they are." the Count of Saint Germain stated, "I agree, Dommiel, would you translate the book for her?" Tom requested, Dommiel nodded and walked forward. Twilight Sparkle made notes appear and Dommiel translated the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis into English and Twilight Sparkle wrote it down with a quill, "Hey, that looks like that Ash guy right there." Spike said as he pointed to him, "It is, this passage is about the Hero from the Sky, and how Ash is the chosen one who will help King Arthur and his knights put down the Deadites and save England." Dommiel explained, "It wasn't easy, I certainly didn't have fun there, either." Ash remarked, "Trust me, Ash, I know how hard it can be to be the chosen one and have so many responsibilities." Twilight Sparkle stated, "I don't understand, though, to be the chosen one in our country usually requires one to be extremely talented in magic and personally trained by royalty, you seem to lack both of them." Princess Cadence spoked, "Yeah, it doesn't work like that in our world, I became the chosen one because I was the most competent at killing the Deadites." Ash explained, "Ash, you have a lot to learn before you can fulfill your role as the chosen one properly." Princess Celestia remarked while shaking her head, "So, um..., is there anymore chosen ones among you guys?" Spike asked, "In a way, I'm one as well, since my father fought and sealed away demons to protect humanity the best he could, I sometimes have to clean up his mess whenever they reemerge because no one else can stand up to the demons where I originally lived, and the keepsakes of my mother and father are keys to opening and closing portals that allow them to come to Earth in the first place." Dante explained, "Oh, wow, that does sound like a lot of responsibility, you got any friends to help you?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Every now and then, I have a partner to help, but most cases, no, I'm working alone." Dante replied, "It never hurts to have friends every now and then, Dante." Shining Armor remarked, "I know, but most people at places I go to for my job can't stand up to the demons except me, so I have to fight them alone." Dante responded, "Maybe you should reach out, Dante, Equestria is always willing to make new friends." Sunburst stated, "I'll think about it." Dante said, "I'm a chosen one, too, Skynet has sent Terminators back in time to try to kill my mother before I was born." John spoke, "Oh, wow, I'm really lucky no one has tried that with me and my brother's parents." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Yeah, that would've affected me as well, I probably would've never been born if that happened." Spike spoke, "It would've affected Equestria's history as well." Princess Celestia added, "Is there anymore?" Princess Luna asked, "Yeah, the Doom Slayer, we've found reports about him being selected as the chosen one by some group called the Night Sentinels choosing him to wear their crown and blessed by someone called the Seraphim, it is believed that he is destined to defeat Davoth and put down his demons." Harvey explained, "Who is this Seraphim?" Princess Luna asked, "We don't know." Volvox replied, "Hmm, I wonder if that's true." Princess Celestia commented, "So, um... anymore chosen ones you guys have?" Sunset Shimmer questioned, "Well, I think Isaac is one in a twisted way." Dommiel answered, "What do you mean twisted?" Smolder questioned, "When Hulk was Dr. Banner, he examined the minds of those from the USG Ishimura, he discovered that the hallucinations and visions Isaac had were different from everybody else's, symbols in a strange language and blueprints appeared in his mind and nobody else's." Dommiel explained, "I don't know what that was, neither does anyone else here." Isaac said, "I'll need to see those one day, come on, Dommiel, let's finish translating this book." Twilight Sparkle stated, and he continued translating the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis for her and explained the monsters on the pages, "Okay, it's done, thank you kindly, Dommiel, I'll see if I can create some counter spells back in Equestria." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and Dommiel walked back, "Okay, let's seal them away." Princess Celestia remarked, and she alongside Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Star Swirl the Bearded, and Twilight Sparkle cast a spell together, yellow, blue, gray, and light pink chains and locks surrounded the artifacts while a pink shield appeared around them and then a light blue shield, "Okay, they're sealed, I'll go ahead and put them in a restrictive area in Canterlot." Princess Celestia stated, and she teleported them away with her magic, "Good luck to you all, if you want find more of the artifacts, send them to me, and I'll seal them away." Princess Celestia stated, and she and the others left or teleported away. The next day arrived and everyone saw Twilight Sparkle practicing her magic and trying to create counter spells to the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis' monsters, another island then appeared to the south and Volvox moved it forward slowly. Everybody readied their weapons and a small group of men and several dogs came out of hiding, "Wait, don't shoot!" one man said, "We're unarmed, we come in peace." a second man added, the kids lowered their weapons while the dogs with Amaterasu began barking at them, the newcomers remained unfazed, "Are they Terminators?" John asked, "No, my scanners say they're organic." Harvey replied, the dogs continued barking while Amaterasu smelled them, she got into a fighting stance and beared her teeth, "Guys, I think Ammy's onto something." Issun stated, Nick continued scanning them and his human eye widened, "It's the Thing!" Nick exclaimed, MacReady quickly looked at them. The new humans and dogs began to shake around and their bodies mutated with tentacles coming out, each newcomer roared monstrously while the creatures in the other countries screamed. The creatures began jumping forward while tentacles grew out of them and tried to touch everyone, Tom, the Count of Saint Germain, Ripley, Dwayne, Dutch, MacReady, John, Snake, Isaac, Torque, and all other adult humans used flamethrowers while Orchid shot fire out of her ring fingers, Sebastian got his crossbow and fired incendiary bolts at the land's shore to set it on fire, and Amaterasu painted a picture with her tail to summon more fire. The Thing screeched as all of the mutated people caught on fire and ran back, MacReady, John, and Snake then lit bombs and threw them and made them explode, Phoenix then flapped his wings to spread fire to burn the new land, more Things came out and ran out around, Volvox then shot hellfire blasts out of his mouth and destroyed the land. Everybody kept their weapons up but no creature appeared, so Orchid shot water out of her index fingers and extinguished the flames, "Was anybody touched by any of them?" MacReady questioned, everybody shook their heads, "Volvox, we need to keep the shores on fire, every cell and atom in it is alive and independent, if one part of it survived, it will come back." MacReady explained, Volvox nodded and shot hellfire blasts out again and lit their land's shores on fire, John then sent the Terminators to examine the shore while the other countries watched uncomfortably. The Terminators examined the shores and scanned the areas but found nothing, tentacles emerged from the fire and the Terminators were dragged in, the Thing emerged onto the shore as a big blob with various humans, animals, monsters, demons, and Daedra in it. Tentacles grew out of it while Volvox shot hellfire blasts at it and it continued coming forward, the tentacles grabbed a few adults and pulled them forward and began eating them while they screamed. Tom, MacReady, John, Snake, Torque, and the others quickly got a bunch of their explosives and bundled them together and lit it, they threw it at the Thing while the others moved back, the bomb exploded and the Thing's body parts flew everywhere, Volvox quickly gathered them with his telekinesis and Ripley burned them with her flamethrower. Everybody heard gurgling and realized the adults who got attacked were mutating into Things, Dutch used his flamethrower on them and they ran away while screaming and Tom quickly lit bombs and threw them at them and they exploded. MacReady quickly ordered everybody to get together and they did, "To you young kids, I'm going to have to do a test, any of us can be one of those things, so I need to do a blood test, brace yourselves, this is going to hurt a bit." MacReady stated, "No need for that, MacReady, my son, Lance, and I can scan them and see if they're infected or not." Harvey reminded, "Oh, that's convenient, go ahead then." MacReady spoke, and they scanned and analyzed everybody, "Everyone's fine." Nick said, "You sure?" MacReady questioned, "We're sure." Lance answered, "Alright, I'll go ahead and douse the fires so they don't spread to here." Orchid stated, and she shot water out of her index fingers and put them out while Amaterasu made rain appear and doused the fires, "Stay on guard, everydragon, if you all see that creature here or any signs of it, use your fire breath immediately." Princess Ember ordered to the dragons, "I feared this day would come, my fellow kirins, that creature assumes the form of any creature, so if you all spot it, change into your nirik forms." Rain Shine said to the kirins, "My little ponies, it is with great distress that this creature from their world has arrived in our world, what I am about to say is very important, so listen carefully. That new hostile creature there takes the form and mimics any creature or animal, it is very dangerous and aggressive, anypony who sees it must report it to the royal guards immediately, do not try to fight it or capture it since it infects and mutates any living creature upon physical contact, we are going to put up shields around every settlement and deploy some of our guards to Griffonstone, the Crystal Empire, Mount Aris, Seaquestria, and the Changeling Hive since they have no way to defend themselves against their abilities, if any of you spot it, let me know, and me and the rest of Equestria's defenders will deal with it accordingly." Princess Celestia spoke to the ponies in her Royal Canterlot Voice, "Should we help them?" Newt asked, "Well, they did give us more food, so yeah, helping them would be repayment for that." Tom responded, "I guess we're going to be up all night, won't be the first time for me." Guts commented, "Me neither, but I don't think the kids here can pull an all nighter." Snake responded, "Alright, kids, here's how it will go." Sebastian stated, and he explained everybody will take turns patrolling and sleeping while the remaining Terminators will remain active at all times and they began when night time came. A week passed and the Thing did not emerge, everybody watched carefully and another land appeared to the east, Volvox waited and more humans soon came out of hiding, "Scan them." Tom instructed, and Harvey, Nick, and Lance scanned the men, "They're human." Nick reported, and Volvox connected the land. The men walked through the radioactive parts with no problem and everybody became suspicious, "There he is!" one man said as he pointed to Hulk, "It's the Hulk!" a second man said, "Get him!" a third man ordered, and the twenty four men ran to him while Hulk growled, all twenty four men grew bigger and their skins changed green as they turned into Hulks. The mutated men began attacking Hulk and Hulk punched them away while growling, they got back up and ran to him to attack him again, "We'll deal with him, the rest of you get the supplies." one mutated man ordered, and twenty of them went to go attack and rob the land's natives while the children screamed. The adults fired their weapons and the arrows and bullets bounced off of them and shot back at the others, Volvox shot hellfire blasts at them while Dommiel shot shadow blasts, they had no effect and Giovi tried slashing the invaders with his blades but they could not cut their skins. Hulk punched the invaders away while grunting and screaming angrily but the mutated humans did back flips and landed on their feet, the four continued attacking him and he tried punching and kicking them but they were unfazed and continued running to him and attacking him. Hulk tried to fight back his four attackers but got distracted when he heard a kid scream, he looked and saw some of the other gamma mutated invaders punching and kicking the kids, one boy was getting punched into the ground and he noticed everybody having trouble fending them off. Hulk roared and grew bigger while his four attackers stopped attacking and their eyes' widened, Hulk punched them while grunting angrily and the four men screamed as they flew into the air and fell into the water, he then ran to help the others. Volvox and Godzilla tried to stomp on the mutated invaders but they held their feet up, Anguirus tried jumping and ramming the invaders with his back but two of them picked him up and threw away, Guts tried to slash one invader with his sword but he grabbed his wrists with one hand and stopped his sword mid-motion, Dante tried shooting them with his pistols but the bullets bounced off, "Ooh, I guess it's sword time." Dante commented, and he slid across the ground while holding his sword out and stabbed one invader in his abdomen, he screamed but Dante looked up when he saw his abdomen heal and push his sword out, he punched Dante away but he landed on his feet. Harvey, Nick, and Lance tried to round up the twenty four invaders but they grunted since they were heavy and resisting their psychic powers. Hulk grew even bigger and punched the invaders into the water and it fell everywhere, "Wait, let's see if they reemerge." Volvox spoke, and they waited. The twenty four Hulk invaders jumped out of the water and high into the sky, Godzilla fired his atomic breath while Mothra fired a beam at them, they grunted while they fell onto the ground, they stood up and continued running to them, Godzilla shot his red spiral heat ray out while Volvox shot nine more hellfire blasts out and Mothra shot another beam out of her antennae, the twenty four invaders screamed and got obliterated. Everybody looked at the injured natives and the humans began tending to their wounds, Twilight Sparkle appeared in the sky and flew to them, "We saw what happened, what were those guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "People during apocalypse were shot with and given injections of gamma radiation from Hulk's body, after apocalypse was over, people mutated with Hulk's powers formed gangs and began attacking everybody and stealing everything, they believe Hulk's powers makes them invincible, they also believe they are superior to Hulk even though they do not get stronger with anger like Hulk does, they wish to kill Hulk for that reason." Hulk explained, "What? That's awful, they should use their powers to help others, not harm them." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "That's pretty rare in our world, people with powers like Volvox and the others here like to think they can do whatever they want." Tom replied, "They shouldn't, I can see from you guys that people need help in your world, and it's already bad enough from what I've seen." Twilight Sparkle said, "Speaking of help, do you have any healing spells?" Orchid questioned, "Oh, yes, I do, I'm coming." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she flew to the injured people and cast a healing spell on them, "There, you all are healed, Princess Luna will attend to your dreams if you all have nightmares. And Hulk, if possible, I would like to examine your powers and see your full capabilities." Twilight Sparkle said, "Hulk's capabilities is unlimited." Hulk reminded, "Well, can you at least try to control it? Having you go bad and on a rampage would be scary." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Hulk will try." Hulk spoke, Twilight Sparkle smiled and disappeared, "Ha, like Hulk will calm down, calm Hulk is weak Hulk." Hulk declared, "Well, let's just get on with our days, and keep an eye out for the Thing." Tom stated, and everything returned to normal. Five days passed and everything went on peacefully and the Thing did not reappear yet, a new big land appeared to the southeast and everybody looked at it, they saw several skulls around the rocks and everybody's attentions were caught, "Don't connect it, Volvox, it's the home of a Yautja hunting group, they might be nearby." a man said, everybody looked at the skulls and saw human, vampire, werewolf, troll, ghoul, goblin, elf, fairy, orc, dwarf, ogre, cyclops, giant, dragon, Xenomorph, Necromorph, Archvile, Marauder, Pinkie, Baron of Hell, Hell Knight, Malefactor, Deadite, Dremora, and Harvester skulls alongside Terminator heads, "Any invisible people nearby?" Dutch asked, "Yeah, there's several right in front of us." Nick replied, the Yautja deactivated their cloaking devices and revealed themselves while the other countries exclaimed with surprise, "Lower your weapons, they don't attack the defenseless or those who can't fight back." Tom instructed, and everybody did. The Yautja scanned everybody and they recognized Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, Giovi, the Count of Saint Germain, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Ripley, Dwayne, Dutch, John, MacReady, Ash, Godzilla, Anguirus, Mothra, Rodan, Guts, Dante, Snake, Isaac, Torque, Sebastian, Amaterasu, and Hulk, two blades protruded from the Yautjas' left wrists and they roared at them through their helmets, "Get the kids out of here!" Tom ordered, and Kirsty led all of the kids away. The Yautja jumped over the water and landed on the land, they arrived and took their spears out and they extended. The humans fired their weapons and the Yautja ran around and got close, they began attacking everybody with their spears and Godzilla shot his atomic breath at them, one Yautja threw its spear at him and Godzilla swatted it out of the air and broke it. Sebastian shot shock bolts at the Yautja near him and they screeched when they got electrocuted and stuck in place, Volvox shot hellfire blasts at them and obliterated them, the Yautja threw their spears at him and he smacked them away while they bounced off of Anguirus. Guts and Dante had trouble using their weapons since their long-range weapons did no damage to their armor while their swords could not cut through them, a Yautja in front of Guts tried to stab its wrist blades into Guts' armor but he blocked it with his sword and then shot the Yautja in its face with his arm cannon. He looked and saw the Yautja's helmet was undamaged, he activated his Berserker Armor and fought the Yautja. Isaac and Sebastian fire their weapons at the Yautja but they did little to no damage, Isaac threw a stasis module on the Yautja to slow them down and he fired his ripper at them but the saw blades' teeth broke on impact with the Yautja's armor. Sebastian fired his guns but they did nothing to them, so he ran away to Dutch and they shot their bows at them together, they fired explosive bolts at them but they had little effect. Godzilla roared in pain and everybody saw him getting shot at by the Yautja's shoulder-mounted guns, Volvox was also shot and he grunted a little while the projectiles exploded on him, Hulk ran to them and punched them away, the Yautja only slid back a few feet and ran to him. The Yautja shot nets at Hulk and they ensnared him, he roared when they began to tighten and cut his skin, he grew bigger and his skin regenerated and the nets broke, they also shot them at Guts but he cut them with his sword, Dante also cut the nets with his sword. Volvox swayed and dodged most of the shots from their shoulder-mounted guns and he shot hellfire blasts out at them, the Yautja roared in pain and fell back, Harvey shot red projectiles out of his right eye while Nick got knocked down and he shot a cannon out of the bottom of his left foot and Lance punched a few Yautja away. The Terminators walked and fired their guns at the Yautja but most of them got destroyed easily. Dante blocked one Yautja who tried to attack him with a disc shaped weapon with his sword and they entered a deadlock, the Yautja began to overpower him easily and he activated his devil trigger to be in a stalemate, Torque changed to the Creature and tried slashing them with his bladed arm, they roared when he cut them. Godzilla and Anguirus tried to stomp on the Yautja but stopped when they saw they had their spears pointed up and ready to stab them, Dommiel and Tom got pinned down and they tried to fight back but could not, "Where is Doom Slayer?" one Yautja asked in a very deep male voice, "You all wish to hunt the Doom Slayer?" Tom questioned, "Correct." the Yautja responded, "He's not here, and we don't know where he is." Dommiel replied, the Yautja looked at one another and Volvox shot red electricity out of the tip of his tail and the Yautja fell over, one Yautja jumped up to him and Volvox swatted him away with his tail. One Yautja roared loudly and fell and bled profusely, they looked and saw a berserk Guts walking to him while panting heavily and decapitated the Yautja. Guts changed back to normal while panting, "These guys are as strong as Apostles." Guts stated while commenting, he heard walking and saw the other Yautja come, they surrounded him and bowed to him and stood up, "Doom Slayer is not here." a Yautja commented, and they picked up their dead comrade and went back to their land while the other countries murmured with confusion. Volvox kept the Yautja's land separated from them while everybody recovered, "I can clearly tell by watching the natives here they don't understand the Yautja's ways." Dutch said, "Then again, probably no non-Yautja does." John responded, "I'll keep them separated from us, hopefully that will prevent some attacks from them in the future." Volvox spoke, and everybody rested. Another land appeared to the south and Volvox moved it forward slowly and saw the buildings were destroyed, Harvey, Nick, and Lance scanned it thoroughly, "I'm picking some strange objects on the inside of the buildings." Lance reported, Volvox moved up the buildings with his telekinesis and saw egg sacs, "Oh, God, those are Xenomorph eggs! We have to burn them!" Ripley stated, Volvox shot hellfire blasts at the land and destroyed it, some of the egg sacs floated in the water and he gathered them with his telekinesis and brought them to the land and Tom, the Count of Saint Germain, Ripley, Dwayne, Dutch, John, MacReady, Snake, Isaac, and Torque burned them with flamethrowers while Amaterasu painted a symbol to make fire appear. They finished burning the egg sacs while Fluttershy watched with shock and horror, Volvox looked at the Yautja and moved up their surroundings with his telekinesis, they heard roaring and fully grown Xenomorphs came from under the ground, "I should've guessed." Volvox remarked, everybody got ready to fight the Xenomorphs but the Yautja took them down quickly, the rest of the day went on with everybody watching the Yautja carefully and uncomfortably. The next day arrived and a big land appeared to the south and everything was destroyed, Volvox moved it forward and stopped when he heard walking, roars came from the place and hundreds of Xenomorphs came out of hiding and ran to them while swimming across the waters, "Xenomorphs! Keep your distance from them, kids, their blood is acidic!" a man spoke, Volvox shot many hellfire beams at them but the Xenomorphs strafed around and dodged them. Everybody began shooting at them but the Xenomorphs kept coming forward and everybody backed away from them, another land appeared to the west and connected to theirs and Necromorphs were on it, they roared and ran to attack the people. Isaac threw stasis modules on them and fired his weapons at the many Necromorphs but he soon ran out of ammo, Sebastian stopped firing and saw a human with the Necromorphs and recognized him, "Leslie!" Sebastian hollered, he walked to him calmly and through the radiated area, "You okay, Leslie?" Sebastian asked, but Leslie soon grabbed his neck and held him up, "Leslie is gone, Seb." Leslie said in a deep voice, Sebastian realized it was Ruvik, he floated up and Amaterasu drew another symbol with her tail and made fire appear, Ruvik screamed while he let go of Sebastian, he growled while Amaterasu beared her teeth at him. Ruvik changed the scenery with his powers and made the dragons from the humans' world appear, they roared and flew in the sky and began shooting fire and ice breaths everywhere, a big red worm-like Malefactor then burst out of the ground and roared, more humans appeared and they recognized Guts and turned into iguana-like Apostles, and Archviles and Maurauders appeared. Everybody fought to defend their land and some of the dragons went to go attack the Dragon Lands, the Malefactor put its mouth on the ground and made Malefactors with black smoke around them appear. Torque fired his guns at the nearby Necromorphs and soon turned into the Creature and destroyed the Malefactors with black smoke around them, Godzilla then fired his atomic breath at the big red Malefactor but it stood its ground, it tried to slash Godzilla with its right mandible and Godzilla crouched to dodge it, he then picked up Anguirus and threw him, the Malefactor screamed when Anguirus rammed it with his back. Guts tried slashing the Apostles with his sword and they kept coming like nothing happened, one tried to bite him with his serrated teeth and he stabbed his sword into his mouth and did minimal damage. Dante had trouble against the Archviles and Marauders since they were different from his usual demons, Dante tried shooting them and the Marauders blocked it with their shields and summoned wolves, Dante saw an opening and a Marauder's eyes glowed, he shot him with his pistols and he grunted in pain when Xenomorph blood came out and got on his clothes, he quickly took his shirt and coat off. The Archviles had shields of fire around them and teleported around while summoning Dread Knights, Fireborne Barons, Tyrants, Pinkies, and Carcesses and reviving the dead Xenomorphs and Necromorphs. The chaos caused black mist to appear in the sky and Alduin formed while Volvox's eyes' widened, "I have returned, and what is this? An inferior breed of dragons, they are not worthy of living." Alduin remarked, and he flew to go attack the Dragon Lands. Sebastian heard Leslie screaming and saw him running to the south of the land, "Leslie!" Sebastian called out as he ran to him, but the southern part of the land changed to the interior of a factory and many creatures from Ruvik's mind appeared. Sebastian fired his weapons and punched them with his brass knuckle to make their heads explode, Dutch ran over and fired a flamethrower to burn them, all of Ruvik's monsters screamed as they got destroyed and another wave appeared, Volvox shot hellfire blasts between them and lit the ground on fire. Harvey turned on the screen and contacted the UAC, Samuel Hayden appeared on the screen, "What is it? This isn't a good time, we're being attacked by King Ghidorah." Samuel said, "We need the Doom Slayer, we got a Xenomorph and Necromorph infestation." Volvox spoke, they heard running and saw the Doom Slayer running and holding his sawed-off double-barreled shotgun, he entered a pod and it shot down, "Sir! King Ghidorah's about to fire at us!" a man offscreen said, King Ghidorah roared and Samuel looked behind himself, bright yellow appeared behind himself and static appeared on the screen. Everybody continued fighting and a twinkle in the sky appeared, a pod with fire around it appeared and it put a crater in the ground, it opened and the Doom Slayer came out, he ran into battle and began shooting the demons, Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, Yautja, demons, and Apostles with his double-barreled shotgun, he went after the Archviles and dashed through the land, the Archviles teleported around and away from the Doom Slayer and he kept chasing them, the other demons and Necromorphs surrounded him and he sent them all flying away with one punch and the Necromorphs' limbs and heads flew off. The Archviles began reviving them and summoning more demons, Amaterasu painted with her tail and summoned icicles falling from the sky to freeze the Archviles and Dante shot bullets into their foreheads, more of them teleported around and Volvox held them up with his telekinesis and the Yautja fired their shoulder-mounted guns at them, they got blown apart and everybody backed away while Xenomorph blood fell out of them. Everybody saw another twinkle in the sky and the UAC space station began to come down with fire around it, Volvox grabbed it with his telekinesis and lowered it, Samuel and the others came out, "So this is the new land." Samuel commented and he saw the many creatures, the other UAC members quickly ran back into the space station, Samuel heard the Marauders' wolves howling and coming to him, Torque shot them and they disappeared. The attackers all got lined up and the Doom Slayer took out his BFG 9000, everybody backed away while the Doom Slayer aimed it. The BFG 9000 charged up in one second and it fired, the green orb flew across the land and green streams of electricity came out and attacked anyone nearby, the Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, Malefactors, Dread Knights, Pinkies, Carcasses, and Ruvik's monsters got obliterated while the Yautja, Apostles, big red worm-like Malefactor, Fireborne Barons, Tyrants, Archviles, and Marauders survived it. The Archviles began summoning more demons and used their magic on the Marauders and they had a red aura around them and they became faster, stronger, and more durable. The Marauders moved at high speeds and attacked faster and were more harmful, Dante activated his devil trigger while Guts activated his Berserk Armor to keep up with them, the Archviles then began sending waves of fire forward and Ruvik changed the ground to a sewer floor with exploding booby traps and spining saw blades moving across the floor. Sebastian ran after Leslie but he teleported around and changed the scenery again, he heard Leslie screaming and saw him running away while a creature holding a meat tenderizer and with a safe for its head chasing him, Sebastian ran after him but more of Ruvik's monsters appeared and they began firing sniper rifles and rocket launchers at him. Yellow electricity then appeared from the sky and shocked the entire world, King Ghidorah flew down with lightning bolts coming out of his wings, "So that fool Ghidorah is alive, I bet he's here to try to usurp me again." Alduin said as he watched King Ghidorah fly to go fight Godzilla. Godzilla fired his atomic breath at King Ghidorah and his scales protected him, he flapped his wings and created extremely powerful gusts of wind that blew everybody except Volvox, Godzilla, Anguirus, Mothra, and Rodan away, the unicorns in Equestria grabbed them with their telekinesis. The Doom Slayer landed on his feet and fired his BFG 9000, the Fireborne Barons got destroyed while the Archviles and Marauders survived, Torque changed into the Creature and more roaring was heard at the southwest, the Thing came out of the water and fish mutated by the Thing walked onto the land while the hippogriffs and seaponies exclaimed with horror and cried. MacReady fired his flamethrower at them and the Thing screeched and ran away, infighting began and everybody saw a battle between Xenomorphs, Yautja, Terminators, the Thing, and Necromorphs going on. The big red worm-like Malefactor dropped down and put more black smoke Malefactors on the ground, Torque turned into the Creature and his body parts moved away from him with a blue light appearing, the Malefactors covered their eyes' while Torque's Creature form reverted back to normal, he held his arms out and he turned into the blue light and Volvox quickly used his telekinesis to move his allies away while every human sized creature exploded except for the Marauders. Torque's Creature form reverted back to normal and Ruvik used his powers to summon more Archviles into the place, King Ghidorah then shot his gravity beams at the Doom Slayer and he ran and strafed around. Hulk then began punching King Ghidorah's right leg and his three heads looked at him, Hulk continued punching him in his leg but it had no effect, King Ghidorah lifted his leg up and stomped on Hulk and pinned him down. King Ghidorah then shot lightning beams out of his three mouths while Volvox shot hellfire blasts out of his three mouths and they enetered a deadlock, Godzilla then shot his atomic breath at King Ghidorah and his scales protected him, Mothra shot a beam out of her antennae and his scales protected him from it. King Ghidorah began to tumble and lose balance when Hulk grew bigger and began to lift his leg off of himself, King Ghidorah fell over and Volvox, Godzilla, and Anguirus began stomping on his heads. Sebastian and Snake went after Leslie and they shot at Ruvik's monsters, he changed the area to a kitchen with spinning saw blades moving on the floor and fire everywhere. Sebastian and Snake shot and destroyed the moving saw blades with shotguns and ran after Leslie, they stopped when they heard screeching and saw a faceless hooded figure appear and made hands appear out of the ground, "Run! We'll be dragged to our deaths if it catches us!" Sebastian said, and he and Snake ran back while Volvox shot hellfire blasts at Ruvik's monsters and burned all of them, Ruvik made more appear and Orchid shot fire out of her ring fingers at them while Harvey, Nick, and Lance punched them away. Guts took down the iguana Apostles and ran after Ruvik while the giant red worm-like Malefactor bent down and swallowed Guts, everybody looked on with shock until the Malefactor screeched in pain and Guts cut it apart from the inside, he jumped out of its mouth and landed while the Malefactor fell into the water. Ash remained in his Deadite form and shot everything with his boomstick and made Ruvik's monsters explode, the creature with the safe for its head attacked him and Ash blocked its meat tenderizer with his chainsaw and shot the creature with his boomstick in its body, the safe for its head opened and its contents spilled out while its body disappeared and the safe remained, he then ran after Ruvik. Ruvik changed the scenery again to a room with big spinning blades around and Leslie screamed as he got trapped between them, "Hang on, Leslie!" Sebastian hollered, he looked for a way to get through the blades until Isaac threw a stasis module to slow down the spinning blades, Sebastian ran through them and grabbed Leslie, "It's okay, Leslie, I'm here." Sebastian said, he grunted and Leslie screamed while Ruvik appeared out of Leslie and strangled them, "Leslie belongs to me." Ruvik said, and he then floated up and the unicorns shot beams at him, he got distracted and Volvox shot hellfire beams out of his eyes and Ruvik panicked as he caught on fire and dropped Sebastian and Leslie. Alduin continued leading the attack on the Dragon Lands and Princess Ember struggled fighting against him, King Ghidorah's attention got caught and he stood up and flew to go attack the Dragon Lands, Alduin then summoned meteors and they fell onto the Dragon Lands, "Pathetic breeds of dragons, you give us all a bad name." Alduin remarked, Dragon Lord Torch shot big fire breaths at him and Alduin resisted the fire, he breathed fire everywhere on the Dragon Lands while King Ghidorah began summoning strong gusts of wind to destroy the country alongside shooting lightning beams out of his three mouths and wings. Dragon Lord Torch shot more fire at King Ghidorah and his scales protected him, he shot lightning beams out and he and Dragon Lord Torch enetered a deadlock, Godzilla's spines glowed red and he shot his red spiral heat ray at King Ghidorah from behind, he roared and winced in pain and fell over, Dragon Lord Torch shot more fire at King Ghidorah's wings and he screeched and got ready to fly away, but Volvox shot hellfire blasts at him and blew all three of his heads off and he fell into the water. Dommiel flew to fight Alduin and he shot shadow blasts at him, Alduin was unaffected and he then did a shout to force the Dragon Lands' dragons, Spike, and Smolder to serve him, "Bend to my will, weaklings." Alduin said, and they all flew all around the world and attacked the other countries. Twilight Sparkle quickly began trying to cast a spell to break Alduin's hold on them, Spike began attacking her and she exclaimed, "I... I'm sorry, Twilight, b... but I can't control myself." Spike stated, and he breathed fire at her while she put up a shield. Dommiel continued fighting Alduin and tried punching and kicking him and his scales protected him, Rodan summoned gusts of wind by flapping his wings and tried to make Alduin fall while Phoenix and Thunderbird shot fire and lightning at him and Orchid used her fire, water, earth, wind, and lightning magic on him, "Nothing's working." Orchid remarked, several humans got their rocket launchers and fired them at Alduin while he flew around the world and started destroying everything. Equestria put a shield up and Alduin summoned meteors to fall on it while he breathed fire on it and onto the other countries, Dommiel changed into a formless shadow and floated to Alduin and restrained him, "Volvox, now." Dommiel said in a gurgled voice, and Volvox shot hellfire blasts at Alduin from behind from his eyes, mouths, tips of his front toes, and balls of his front feet, red lightning from the tip of his tail, and the threw the razor-sharp seven-pointed stars on his spine at him, Alduin roared and he flew to go fight Volvox while Phoenix, Thunderbird, Godzilla, Anguirus, Mothra, and Rodan joined him. Alduin shot fire and ice out of his mouth together while he made Dragon Lord Torch fly to help him, he tried resisting Alduin's will while breathing fire at Volvox and the others, they endured it and Volvox, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Godzilla, and Mothra shot their long-ranged attacks at Alduin together while Dommiel continued restraining him, Dutch and John then fired rocket launchers at Alduin and he roared. Volvox heard beeping and noticed several Yautja being overwhelmed by the Xenomorphs, Terminators, the Thing and its creatures, and Necromorphs, Volvox used his telekinesis to take that part of the land off and put it on Alduin's back, everybody backed away while Dommiel changed back to normal and flew away, the piece of land let out a big explosion while the Xenomorphs, Yautja, Terminators, the Thing, and Necromorphs got destroyed and Alduin got blown up with it, he turned pitch black and said something in a foreign language while his form destroyed and he disappeared into the sky. The dragons regained control of themselves and they panted while everybody focused on Ruvik, everything floated in the air while he entered into a big creature and attacked the entire world while Leslie screamed and tried to get away from him, the humans fired rocket launchers at him while Volvox, Godzilla, and Mothra fired blasts and beams at him, Ruvik's creature began smashing everything it touched, Dante and Guts jumped and flew up to it and attacked the form while Sebastian floated through the air and fired his guns at Ruvik, the Pegasi, dragons, griffons, changelings, and hippogriffs flew up and tried to get Leslie but Ruvik made the environments Leslie has been through appear, Leslie screamed while everybody saw fire, spikes, barbed wire traps, tripwire explosives, and spinning blades everywhere, they also saw images of Leslie running away and panicking while the many of Ruvik's monsters chased him, the world's natives stopped and looked on in horror at Leslie's experiences. The Doom Slayer continued fighting the Archviles and Marauders and Hulk ran to them and punched and kicked them down and the Doom Slayer took them down, he saw Ruvik's monsters up ahead and he ran forward, he began firing his guns, using grenades and frost grenades, a blade on his left forearm, a flamethrower on his left shoulder, a chainsaw, a red hammer, and his punches to take them down, he moved nonstop and Ruvik's monsters fell quickly, Twilight Sparkle's jaw dropped at seeing the Doom Slayer in action. Ruvik began to float away while holding Leslie and Hulk ran extremely fast and jumped into the air and punched Ruvik's vessel, it fell over and Hulk grabbed Leslie as they fell, he landed and put another crater in the ground. Ruvik appeared on the ground and walked towards Leslie, he panicked and ran away while Ruvik teleported to him, Torque ran to him while in his Creature form and slashed Ruvik with his bladed arm while grunting, he fell over and disappeared, he reappeared behind Leslie and got ready to touch Leslie's head, Torque quickly ran to him and slashed him again. Ruvik reappeared again and Torque tried to slash him but he dodged it and teleported onto Torque and began strangling him, Godzilla shot his red spiral heat ray at Ruvik and he snarled while he caught on fire. Ruvik glared at everyone and Sebastian shot him from behind with his shotgun, he fell over and tried to teleport away again, "No!" Princess Luna hollered as she cast a spell on him to restrain him, and she arrived alongside Princess Celestia, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, the Mane Six, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Sunburst, and the Pillars of Equestria, "You repulsive man!" Rarity exclaimed, Ruvik looked at them and Sebastian turned them away, "Don't look into his eyes!" Sebastian ordered, Ruvik panted heavily while scowling. Leslie began to cry and Hulk changed back to Bruce, "Leslie? Leslie. It's alright, look around you, you're safe now." Bruce said, Leslie looked up and saw everybody around him, "Sebastian." Leslie called out and clinged to his leg, "He looks so young." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Twenty five, but he has the mentality of a toddler." Sebastian responded, the Mane Six gasped while Leslie crawled to them and Twilight Sparkle hugged him, "Oh, Leslie, you poor, poor boy, stuck in that place of horrors for who knows how long, I promise you you'll be safe and sound here." Twilight Sparkle stated, Ruvik growled and got ready to teleport but a microwave beam appeared on him and he screamed until he exploded, everybody looked and saw the Doom Slayer holding a plasma rifle, the hostile dragons then came back as ghosts and everybody quickly used the microwave beams on them to destroy them, "There, okay, I think we're safe now." Bruce stated, "You're Bruce, right?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, I'm Dr. Banner, I'm a scientist and specialize in nuclear physics, I'm a medical doctor, too." Bruce replied, "Wow, ya behave nothin' like yer other self." Applejack commented, "Yeah, Hulk and I are basically two completely different people, I basically have split personality." Bruce answered, "Do you plan to help the UAC develop weapons to fight the invaders again, Dr. Banner?" Samuel questioned, "Not right now." Bruce replied, "How did you become that way?" Princess Celestia inquired, "I was dying of stage four brain cancer that couldn't be cured, so I had parts of my brain transferred into this robotic body of mine." Samuel explained, "And the Doom Slayer?" Princess Luna asked, "I empowered him to how he is now, he'll be put to rest after all of the demons except Dommiel and Dante are dead, but until then, his fight is eternal." Samuel answered, "Whoa there, I wouldn't mind fighting those guys every now and then, but for eternity and that is all there is to your life? No thanks." Rainbow Dash said, "If you all are done, do you all have any magic to change our land back to normal?" Orchid asked, and Twilight Sparkle did, "You all are welcome to live in Equestria if you wish since I have noticed you all struggling to survive and grow food, we can establish relationships and do trade if you all wish." Princess Celestia suggested, "Wait, about that, look around you, we don't have any goods to give." Tom reminded, "That's quite alright, maybe when you revert back to how your lives used to be, then we can start doing trade and develop a friendship between our countries." Princess Celestia spoke, "I'll think about it." Tom remarked, "Alright then, well, let's go back, everypony, and good luck to you all." Princess Celestia said, and their visitors left. Tom thought about Princess Celestia's offer while some of the humans walked to him, "Chief Tom, I think it would be best if we do migrate to their country since we're having a hard time surviving here, and their country is reminiscent of Earth before the apocalypse, we'd like to live in their country if that's alright with you." a man spoke, "Go ahead, make sure you all come back to help us fight if more hostile invaders arrive." Tom said, and Volvox put them in Equestria with his telekinesis. Two weeks passed and the humans adapted to living in Equestria and a few worked in Sweet Apple Acres and picked apples, "No, no, no, not that way, y'all, like this." Applejack spoke, and she bucked a tree and made the apples fall, the kids tried kicking the trees but the apples did not fall, "We gotta work on y'all's skills and techniques." Applejack said, Hulk ran and grunted while he kicked a tree, the roots came out and the tree flew through the air, "Whoa there, Hulk! You kicked it too hard there, Ah hope nopony gets hurt wherever that tree lands." Applejack said, Fluttershy was in her home and reading to her animals, everything was peaceful until an apple tree fell through her house's roof and inside, she jumped back while shrieking and looked at the apple tree and her broken roof with shock. "Ya gotta control that strength of yours, Hulk, see how mah big brother Big Mac does it?" Applejack asked, they watched Big Macintosh tap his hoof on an apple tree and all of the apples fell, "See, nice, clean kick, Ah believe ya can learn some things from him, ain't that right, Big Mac?" Applejack asked, "Eeyup." Big Macintosh answered, "Well, back to work, y'all." Applejack said, and they did. The Doom Slayer was at Fluttershy's sanctuary one day and he looked at the animals, "Oh, hello there, um... are you looking for a pet?" Fluttershy asked, the Doom Slayer shook his head and walked around, he stopped and froze in place when he saw rabbits hopping around, he looked at the rabbits and had a sorrowful expression under his visor, "Um... Mr. Slayer, are you okay?" Fluttershy questioned, the Doom Slayer just looked at her for a second and walked away. Fluttershy continued with her day and she heard another visitor coming, she went outside and saw Snake, "Oh, um... hi, Snake, would you like a pet?" Fluttershy asked, "No, I'm fine, I'm just looking around, place brings back memories a bit, I was raising some sled dogs before the apocalypse happened." Snake answered, "Oh, that's wonderful, I can give you some dogs if you wanna get started again." Fluttershy stated, "No, it's fine, I might just live here in peace for now, I'm getting too old for fighting." Snake said, "Oh, hope you like it here, and hope I'll see you again." Fluttershy replied, and she flew away while Snake looked at the animals with a smile and walked away. The humans adapted to living in Equestria and some of the kids began attending the School of Friendship with Nick's and Lance's mutated features catching everybody's attentions and Tom, the Count of Saint Germain, Ripley, Newt, Dwayne, Dutch, John, MacReady, Kirsty, Ash, Guts, Dante, Snake, Isaac, Torque, Sebastian, Leslie, Bruce, Hulk, and the Doom Slayer received counseling from Starlight Glimmer alongside several others, the Doom Slayer got up to leave, "Wait, Doom Slayer." Starlight Glimmer said, he turned around and faced her, "Spike got a message from Princess Celestia for you earlier today, she said keep a very close eye on Samuel Hayden, she said she's getting a bad feeling about him and she thinks he's hiding something." Starlight Glimmer warned, the Doom Slayer then left the room. Bruce was called into the school one day to talk about other cultures and the students listened with shock and confusion while being completely unable to understand and comprehend Cenobite, Yautja, and Daedra cultures. Everybody lived peacefully and new lands continued to appear and Volvox connected them to their land and Bishop and the Terminators checked for any survivors and radiation, more demons, Daedra, Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, and human robbers and looters appeared every now and then but they got destroyed quickly and easily while the humans helped the other countries develop countermeasures against their world's threats, everybody lived in peace and the humans eventually began migrating to the other countries while they continued to survive and regrow in the new world.
Conqueror (Monsters)Volvox was the very first being created on Earth by the Maker and the gods, he was ageless and already an adult when he was created, the Maker and gods were surprised by how he turned out, he was a three thousand feet tall, three hundred fifty feet wide, three hundred feet long creature with three heads with the back of his heads shaped like semicircles and the front shaped like two back-to-back right triangles, he did not have any ears or noses, his four eyes were slanted and monochromatic and did not have any pupils or irises and were on the sides of his head. The right half of his body and right head were gray and skeletal with black holes in place of his eyes and white teeth, the five claws on his right front foot and right hind foot were also made of gray bones. The left half of his body and his left head were pitch black like a shadow, the head's eyes and teeth and five claws on his left front foot and left hind foot were red. His center head, spine, and tail were pink and made out of a parasitic-like skin, his spine had yellow seven pointed star-like organic matters growing on him and each tip was sharp, the tip of his tail was yellow and shaped like a spear's tip with sharp tips on the back corners, and the center head's eyes and teeth, the seven-pointed organic stars, and his tail's tip were yellow. Volvox conversed with the Maker and gods and got to know the other gods, they were Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Amun, Ra, Odin, Vishnu, Bishamonten, and Huitzilopochtli, he watched them create more beings and dragons and dinosaurs were the next things created. Volvox taught them about their origins and creations and they bowed to him, he examined each species carefully and saw they were not equal, the gods decided they were too weak and changed Earth to a dangerous environment, everybody struggled to survive and the dead creatures' souls got taken by Hades, Osiris, and Anubis, Volvox followed them and watched the souls get judged, the Maker then granted Volvox various powers. He tried them and saw he now had control over hellfire and shot them out of his mouths, eyes, balls of his front feet, and tips of his front feet's claws, he can also shoot red electricity out of his tail's tip, he tried more things and discovered he also had telekinesis with each head, he grow and shrink in size at will, and he can stretch his neck out and burrow them underground. Volvox trained and honed his fighting skills and powers while also defending himself and watching the dragons and dinosaurs struggle to survive, the gods added more flora and fauna and it made Earth even more dangerous, they then began controlling the temperatures and weather to see which species will die and which will survive. Volvox survived on his own while also watching the other species' survive, each creature was divided and eventually, every creature was strong enough to survive the harsh environment, the creatures then began fighting and killing one another while Volvox killed all of his attackers easily. The gods were satisfied with their now powerful creatures and directed them telepathically while making Volvox the planet's ruler and gave him the ability to be sentient and speak, the gods and underworld's natives then sent angels and demons to Earth, "Come, my brethren, we got new enemies to fight, the gods have sent them to help us continue getting stronger, let us begin conquering them." Volvox said, and they charged forward. The angels and demons took down the dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals easily, "Withdraw!" Volvox ordered, and they did. Volvox watched the angels and demons conquer Earth while also slaughtering any flora and fauna they found, "Perhaps we can help." a deep male voice said in the sky, Volvox looked up and saw a black swirling mass in the sky and they formed into nine scary looking beings, "We can grant you a distraction to help you take out the angels and demons, but in exchange, the beings we create must roam and terrorize the Earth." the being in the center spoke, "Who are you guys?" Volvox asked, "We are the Outer Gods, I am Nyarlathotep, me and these eight here are the gods of the other planets." the being stated, "I am Shub-Niggurath, mother of a thousand young, it is I who will create the creatures that will roam the Earth." a female being stated, "I am Cxaxukluth, I will make the demons hungry and distracted." a male being spoke, "I am Daoloth, the all-seer, I have seen your future, Volvox, much later from now, you will be leading us and a group of various creatures against bipedal creatures called humans in a land full of colorful horses." another male being said, "Colorful horses, you say? I suppose it wouldn't be the strangest thing to witness." Volvox commented, "Still, do not underestimate them because they are cute looking and their world is all sunshine and rainbows." Daoloth reminded, "I am Yog-Sothoth, you cannot hide any secrets from me, I see all of existence, past, present, and future." a being made of glowing spheres stated with a deep male voice, "I am Tulzscha, I can induce madness upon your enemies with a certain ritual." the pillar of green fire said in an androgynous voice, "I am Yibb-Tstll, I shall cover your enemies' homes in black snowflakes." a grotesque being in a green cloak spoke with a deep female voice, "I am Ghroth, my presence shall destroy your enemies' planets." a being as big and shaped like a moon with an eyeball said in a deep voice, "I am Azathoth, I am the leader of the Outer Gods, I will help you at the time when you fight the humans." a big and blurry being with an abstract appearance in the sky said with a deep male voice, "Well, thanks, I'll take your offer, the dragons, dinosaurs, cats, dogs, bugs, and everything else are going to die at this rate." Volvox remarked, "Very well, we will distract the angels and demons, and our monsters will roam the Earth, you will have to defeat them in combat if you wish to command them." Azathoth responded, and they began moving around the sky and the angels and demons went insane while natural disasters occurred, "Everybody, now! Attack!" Volvox ordered, and they did and took down the angels and demons. Many monsters appeared all over the world on the land, in the sky, and in the sea, the gods and more angels and demons appeared, "What's going on?" Odin questioned, "I made a deal with nine gods called the Outer Gods, let them create creatures to roam the Earth in exchange for gaining an advantage over the angels and demons." Volvox explained, "What? Volvox, the Outer Gods are controlling what kinds of life gets controlled throughout the universe, we made a deal for them to leave this planet alone and let us make creatures as we see fit, you messed up this planet's progress." Vishnu explained, "Sorry, but they left that part out." Volvox responded, "It is alright." a male and female voice spoke together while the clouds spun and the Maker conversed, "The Earth can still develop, these monsters the Outer Gods have created will give us the chance to make our own creations grow stronger through battle and intelligence, let us take advantage of it." the Maker continued, the others agreed and the clouds stopped spinning. Volvox and the others began fighting the new creatures but arrived at a stalemate, so the angels and demons formed an alliance with the dragons, dinosaurs, and prehistoric animals, Volvox got know and befriend a demon named Dommiel, they fought and won against the new creatures and all of them joined with the opposing team with Volvox ruling over them with Dommiel as his second-in-command and a dragon named Tom as his third-in-command and frontline commander, Volvox barely restrained his laughter at how simple Tom's name was, he also befriended a muscular ghoul named Giovi who had his claws severed and replaced with knife blades. Centuries passed and the other creatures were all living peacefully until a new species appeared on Earth one day, "What are these?" Dommiel asked, everybody looked at the new bipedal male and female creatures of various skin, hair, and eye colors and noticed they looked similar to the vampires, various nymphs, swan maidens in their humanoid forms, and some of the ghosts and zombies, "Maker, did you make these?" Tom asked, the clouds spun and formed a circle in the sky, "No, they're most likely a byproduct of either our creations or those Outer Gods, I just spoke with them and they said they didn't create them, I'll keep them here for now, they seem to be another primitive group of animals." the Maker stated and the clouds stopped spinning. Centuries passed and the creatures began calling themselves humans, they began developing and began hunting and living off the land, they eventually developed various civilizations while remaining friendly and welcoming to Volvox and his subjects. The humans have tried to coexist peacefully with the other creatures but they considered them outsiders and began attacking and destroying their civilizations, the humans struggled to fight against Volvox and his many monsters alongside the prehistoric animals, angels, demons, and angry gods, some humans tried to offer peace offerings or make deals to live together but Volvox killed all of them. The human civilizations and settlements got destroyed quickly while Volvox led all of the non-human creatures while partaking in the battles himself, some of the creatures ended up opening rifts that sent parts of Earth to another dimension. The ponies of Equestria and the other creatures were having a peaceful day until they sensed a disturbance to the east of the Bone Dry Desert, a land appeared in the waters and they looked on with shock while some creatures gasped, "What the...?" Applejack asked, every house and building was destroyed and burnt black with pieces laying everywhere and with no signs of life, "Come on, girls, let's go see if anyone's there." Twilight Sparkle said, and the Mane Six and Spike went into her hot air balloon. They arrived at the land and looked on in shock at seeing the destruction, they landed and got out of the hot air balloon, "Hello? Is anybody here?" Twilight Sparkle called out, there was no response, she and Rarity picked up the debris with their telekinesis, "My, there's no one here." Rarity stated, "What could've happened?" Applejack questioned, "It looks like some creature or an army came through here and destroyed everything." Rainbow Dash deduced, "Rainbow might be right, I don't think some accident or disaster occurred here, someone or something probably destroyed this place and slaughtered everyone in the process." Twilight Sparkle stated, "You think this could be just like when the Storm King attacked us?" Pinkie Pie asked, "No, Pinkie Pie, this looks even worse, whoever did this likely isn't taking any prisoners." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I hope the animals and pets made it out okay." Fluttershy stated, "Hate to break it to ya, Fluttershy, but I'm not seeing any signs of pets being kept here." Spike replied, "So, what do we do with this place?" Rainbow Dash asked, "There's probably nothing we can do right now, let's wait and see if more lands appear." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they went back to the hot air balloon and went back to Equestria. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were on Canterlot's balcony and looking at the new land in disbelief, "I'm getting a bad feeling about this, sis." Princess Luna said, "So am I, I think something dangerous will be upon our world soon." Princess Celestia stated, "Well, I mean, it won't be the first time our world was in danger." Princess Luna reminded, "True, but this time, I'm sensing the threat is huge, who knows what we will encounter." Princess Celestia responded, and they went back into Canterlot's castle and Princess Luna tended to the dream realm, the foals had nightmares on what could have destroyed the new land and she zapped them away. The next day came and another land appeared between Equestria and Griffonstone, everybody stopped for a minute when they saw the entire land was frozen with lightning on the destroyed settlements, "That land's destroyed, too." Princess Cadance stated, "What could've done this?" Shining Armor asked, "I'm not seeing any clues." Sunburst remarked, "Still, everything's frozen and electrified, how strange, it's almost like they were destroyed by magic." Princess Cadance responded, "I'll go keep an eye on Flurry Heart, call me if you need anything." Shining Armor spoke, and he walked away while Equestria's royal guards searched the new land for any survivors but did not find any. Another piece of land appeared between Equestria and the Dragon Lands and everybody became shocked at seeing many arrows in the ground, the ponies and dragons moved the debris and the creatures gasped and looked away when they saw dead humans shot to trees with many arrows, the Mane Six, royal guards, and dragons went over and looked at them, they took the arrows out and the bodies fell over, "I'm guessing whoever did this didn't like them." Princess Ember spoke, "This doesn't look like it was done by one person, it looks like hundreds of them." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Hey! I found something strange here!" Starlight Glimmer hollered, and everybody went to her. Everybody saw to spears that were in two humans, Twilight Sparkle tried to grab them but exclaimed when yellow electricity appeared, "What the?" Princess Ember asked, "Come on, let's take this to Princess Celestia." Twilight Sparkle said, and the ponies left the land. The Mane Six, Spike, and Starlight Glimmer arrived in Canterlot and gave the spears to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, the yellow electricity reappeared when they got near it, "This confirms their attackers are not primitive beings driven by instinct, this is a magic not from this world either." Princess Celestia stated, "Judging by its appearance and the sense I'm getting, it's light magic, a bit similar to sis' own." Princess Luna added, "Any idea on what could make magic like this?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Well, it is a bit similar to the angels in the old tales of my childhood that used to be read to foals when Luna and I were fillies." Princess Celestia answered, "You think they could be real?" Pinkie Pie squeed, "Maybe, anything's possible, how about you, Pinkie, you picking up anything strange?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "Hmm, well, it's not of this world, and I'm getting a really strange feeling that these spears fell from the sky." Pinkie Pie responded, "Fell from the sky? The creatures who used these must have some form of flight then." Princess Luna deduced, "We'll lock these away for now, let us wait for the next lands to appear and hope there will be life on one of them." Princess Celestia stated, and they parted ways. A few hours passed while everybody wondered where the next land will appear and another appeared to the northeast of Equestria, everybody heard screaming and saw humans running, they looked and saw there were being hunted and attacked by big cats, big dogs, big frogs, and bugs, everybody heard moaning and their attentions got caught when they saw human-like creatures with decaying flesh tied to posts with ropes, "Okay, that's definitely not natural there." Twilight Sparkle commented, another land appeared to Equestria's southeast and they heard more humans screaming, they saw human looking creatures wrapped in bandages casting dark magic and necromancy to summon and control skeletons while some of the skeletons acted under their own will, "So their attackers do have magic." Princess Luna stated, "That's not all, look at the skeletons." Spike responded, and they did, everybody looked on in shock at seeing animated skeletons of various big creatures, dragons, winged humanoids, bipedal humanoids with pointed ears, bipedal humanoids with two big fangs on their lower set of teeth, humanoids short in height but had very wide body frames, humanoids with four fangs, bipedal wolves, tall bipedal creatures with rectangular shaped heads and three eyes, slouched bipedal creatures with sharp teeth, small bipedal creatures, twelve feet tall humanoids, very small humanoids, and tall humanoid figures with one eye, "What in tarnation?" Applejack exclaimed, "Oh, this isn't looking good." Twilight Sparkle quivered, another land appeared to the Bone Dry Desert's east and they saw the humans getting slaughtered by big red, muscular bipedal creatures with horns on their heads, fangs in their mouths, and were wielding black metallic clubs, everything suddenly caught on fire and the world's natives screamed when they saw a wheel with a man's face in its center with fire around it come into view, he rolled around and set everything on fire while also shooting fire out of his mouth, another land appeared very close to Equestria's east and the humans were getting slaughtered by giant pigs, the ground erupted and lava flew up very high, it went down and a huge creature emerged, the humans screamed and ran away while the world's natives looked in horror, the giant creature that blocked out the sun and had a hundred heads. It shot fire into the air out of its one hundred heads and then flapped its wings to create extremely strong gusts that spread the fire far, the ponies quickly put up magic shields around the countries and new lands and the flames still pushed them back. The creature held its hands high up in the sky and volcanic eruptions began on every land with humans on them, he then summoned typhoons, hurricanes, earthquakes, and shot fire and venom out of his hundred mouths and two hundred eyes. The world's natives watched in horror while the giant one hundred headed creature continued causing massive destruction to human settlements, "How are they supposed to fight something like that?!" Rainbow Dash inquired, "That is beyond me, Rainbow, those creatures fighting back don't seem very developed either." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Plus, we have to make new defenses as well, Equestria has never seen such a creature." Princess Celestia added, another land appeared in the waters between Equestra's and the Bone Dry Desert's east and the humans were running away and screaming while they got slaughtered, everybody saw four bipedal skeletal figures in black hooded robes riding horses killing the humans, one was on a white horse and holding a bow, he also had a crown on his head, one was on a red horse and holding a sword, one was on a black horse and holding a set of scales, and one was on a pale horse and holding a scythe, they were joined in by two more creatures on horseback, they were both headless while one was holding an axe while the other was holding a sword, they also heard roaring and snarling and saw a group of hundreds of bipedal creatures with gray skin, sagging flesh, leathery wings, sharp claws and talons, and bird-like facial features fly forward and destroy everything in their path and kill humans, "Oh, this is terrible." Fluttershy quivered, "Come on, let's help 'em." Applejack said, ships appeared in Seaquestria's sea and humans were on them. The humans looked on worriedly and they saw human women standing on the water, a man quickly ordered everybody to defend themselves and the human women on the waters floated in the air and changed to swans, they began pecking and kicking the humans in the ships struggled to throw them off, the waters then rose to very high levels and giant creatures black as shadows with bald heads emerged and groaned loudly. They began slamming their arms down on the ships and destroyed them and the humans drifted in the sea, the seaponies swam and carried them to Mount Aris. One more land appeared to in Equestria's eastern sea and they saw it was frozen over, humans screamed while transparent female humanoid creatures formed in the snow and blew snow everywhere that froze the land, humanoid creatures with white feathered wings flew down from the skies and threw spears with yellow electricity down and they impaled a few humans while electrifying the land. The world's natives quickly went over to rescue the humans, some flew and swam to get them while the unicorns used magic to teleport them and the kirins used telekinesis to grab them, they brought them to Equestria and Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, the Mane Six, and Spike went to them, "You guys okay?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the humans spoke in different languages and Twilight Sparkle cast a spell, "Thank you, you saved us, we are at war back at home, those monsters and creatures have all gathered together to wipe out us humans from existence, we are on the verge of extinction." one man said, the other humans looked at him with disbelief and he then looked at himself, "My, you are speaking a different language." a woman stated, the humans looked at her with surprise, "I have cast a magic spell to translate what you all say to stuff I can understand since you all are speaking various languages that I never heard before." Twilight Sparkle explained, "Oh, that explains a lot." a second man commented, "So, are you all like being driven out or something?" Rainbow Dash questioned, "No, we're being killed and all of our settlements destroyed, the other creatures of our world are conquering our lands, we tried to make peace and coexist with them but they refused, they said they were on the world first, and we were not created by the Maker like how they were, so they all decided to wipe us all out." a third man explained, "What? That ain't right, y'all don't seem to be troublemakers either." Applejack remarked, "But it's true, even the gods are trying to drive us to extinction." a second woman responded, "A full extinction of a species on a global scale, we have had threats and conquerors in our world before as well, but they never went that far." Princess Luna said, "Plus, several of those creatures seem like wild animals and have no sentience, somebody has to be leading them." Princess Celestia deduced, "Yes, the leader of all of the creatures hasn't been transferred here yet, he's the ruler of our home planet, all of the native animals and creatures bow to him." a fourth man answered, "Come with us, we'll provide you all food and medicine, we need to know what type of creatures you all are fighting and the names of the high ranking members in this commander's army if there is any." Princess Celestia explained, "Thank you, we'll tell you all everything you need to know." a third woman replied, and they went to Canterlot. The humans arrived in Canterlot Castle and sat in the throne room, they were served hay, vegetables, fruits, grains, and various drinks, "Our bodies cannot handle hay." a woman said, "Oh, sorry, I don't know what your kind can digest or not." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Do you have any paper and writing utensils so we can draw our enemies and write down their names and descriptions?" a man requested, "That won't be necessary, I have a spell that will show us all of your enemy types and you all can explain." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Well, that's convenient." a second man commented, and Twilight Sparkle cast a spell. A white screen came up and images of the humans' enemies came up, the ponies and Spike looked on in shock, "Whoa!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, "Golly! That's a lot of different type of creatures!" Applejack exclaimed, "Well, let's get started, I'd like for you all to start with the ones already here." Princess Celestia said, "Very well, the big cats with two big teeth there are smilodons, those big dogs are amphicyons, those big frogs with horns are beelzebufos, those big millipedes are arthropoleuras, they are native fauna of our home planet that have existed centuries before us." the first man explained, "So, your own animals are trying to wipe you guys out, too?" Fluttershy asked, "Yes, while they are primitive and driven by instinct, they have swore allegiance to the one leading them." another woman replied, "Is that possible?" Pinkie Pie questioned, "Well, yes, animals like that usually follow the strongest of the group." Fluttershy answered, "What were those moaning creatures you had tied to posts with rope?" Rarity asked, "Zombies, they are reanimated corpses without their souls in them, whenever we fight back against our enemies, they are the first line of defense due to them being slow and mindless." a third woman explained, "So a bit like the prank you all pulled on me with the cookies." Rainbow Dash grumbled, "Next we saw were creatures who looked like you guys but were wrapped completely in bandages, what are those?" Princess Luna questioned, "Mummies, they have existed longer than us humans, they also among the front line of our enemies, they serve as spellcasters among our direct enemies." a fourth woman responded, "We all know what the next ones were, we have animated skeletons here in our world, too." Applejack stated, "So you all have to tend to them as well." a third man remarked, "One thing I noticed is the skeletons were all different shapes and sizes." Starlight Glimmer said, "Yes, the skeletons you all saw were of the other creatures that make up most of the different type of conquerors, as you all saw, we have a primitive species called dinosaurs, dragons of various shapes and sizes, the winged skeletons with feathery wings are angels, the ones with leathery wings and horns are demons, the winged humanoids with the upside-down feathery wings are fallen angels, the males winged humanoids with pointed ears are incubi, the female versions are succubi, the humanoids with pointed ears and no wings are elves, the creatures with bug-like wings are fairies, the creatures with two big fangs are orcs, the short skeletons are dwarfs, the skeletons with four fangs are vampires, those bipedal wolves are werewolves, we have several different types of were-beasts, the three-eyed monsters are trolls, the slouched creatures with sharp teeth are ghouls, the small monsters with oval shaped skulls are goblins, the very tall humanoid skeletons are giants, the small skeletons that only grow up to our shins are alps, and the one-eyed bipedal skeletons are cyclopes." the first man explained, the ponies and Spike became speechless, "Wow, so what do they do?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "The dinosaurs chase and eat us. The dragons fly, swim underwater, breathe fire, and summon lightning, they try to eat us, too. Angels throw spears at us, demons use magic and a variety of weapons, fallen angels use dark magic and spears, incubi and succubi trick us into falling in love with them and suck out our life force while we sleep. The elves and fairies use bows and arrows, swords, and magic, orcs use two-handed weapons and brute strength, dwarfs attack us with two-handed axes, vampires drink our blood, turn into rats, bats, and mist, and only come out at night, werewolves and other beasts hunt and eat us, trolls and ghouls use bones as weapons and try to eat us, goblins steal our stuff and attack us. The giants chase us and try to smash us with clubs, alps sit on our chests and suffocate us when we sleep, and cyclopes attack us with clubs made from bones and try to eat us." the second man explained, "Dang, talk about bad luck." Rainbow Dash remarked, "Excuse me, but what is a fallen angel?" Princess Cadance asked, "The angels reside in a place high in the skies called Heaven, when an angel breaks its rules, they are cast out and into a place under the ground called Hell, they change to fallen angels and their wings turn upside-down to let others know they have been cast out, which causes them to lose their powers over light magic and get replaced with dark magic." the first woman explained, "It is a bit like our world's dark ponies." Princess Luna said, "It is, indeed, please continue." Princess Celestia requested, "Those big red bipedal creatures with clubs are called oni, they chase and eat us as well." the third man answered, "And what are they supposed to be?" Spike questioned, "We don't know, they just live in caves, far away from others, and come out to hunt and eat while using their black metal clubs." the fourth woman answered, "Hmm, they seem more sentient and civilized than the other creatures." Rarity remarked, "Yeah, good point there, they don't seem like yer typical run-of-the-mill hungry wild animal, some of 'em seem to be wearin' armor, too." Applejack added, "We'll worry about that later. What was that wheel on fire with the face in its center?" Princess Celestia questioned, "Wanyūdō, unlike the other creatures, he is one of a kind, there are none like him, he is sentient and capable of speech, too. He is a creature of fire that burns anything wherever he goes." the first man explained, "A wheel that burns anything it touches, it sounds like he was created with magic." Star Swirl the Bearded theorized, "We'll wonder about that later, what were big pigs that came out afterwards?" Mistmane asked, "Entelodonts, they are native fauna from our planet and have existed centuries before us humans." the second woman responded, "Alright then, onto the next one, this is the one we're all the most curious about, that giant one hundred headed creature." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Yeah, who and what is that thing?" Rainbow Dash inquired, "Typhon, he is a god, he has existed before any life on the Earth formed." the first man answered, "What?! That guy's a god?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, the humans nodded, "He is one of the many powerhouses in the enemy's army, but from what we've seen, it's possible he is the most powerful individual of our opponents, us humans don't have anything that works against him." a fourth man stated, "From what we've seen of him, we may need help from the other countries, sister." Princess Luna said, "I agree, this Typhon looks even stronger than Tirek at his full power." Princess Celestia stated, "We pray for your safeties and victories if you all fight Typhon, we saw you all have magic, us humans do not, so you all might be able to fight back." a fifth woman remarked, "Twilight, we might need help from every country against him." Applejack commented, "I agree, his powers seem to be off the charts, not even the Tree of Harmony and Rainbow Power is going to be enough to put him down." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, onto the next one, what were those skeletons on the horses in the last island?" Rockhoof questioned, "The four you saw are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the one on the white horse and carrying the bow is White Rider, he conquers land and rules over them, the one on the red horse and carrying the sword is Red Rider, he causes wars to break outs, the one on the black horse and carrying the weighted scales is Black Rider, he causes famine to occur wherever he goes, and the one on the pale horse and carrying the scythe is Death, but we call him Pale Rider, he kills any living being he passes while any plants around him wither and die." the first man explained, "We are a land of love and friendship, we may have spells that can counter their powers." Princess Celestia said, "Good, anything will do at this rate." the third man replied, "What about those two headless horse riders who joined them afterwards?" Somnambula asked, "The one holding the axe is the Headless Horseman, the one holding the sword is Dullahan, they ride around anywhere they please and kill any human they come across." the first woman responded, "I see, and those scary looking flying creatures with them?" Mage Meadowbrook questioned, "The Sluagh, they kill and eat everything in their path, they're a variation of the regular fairies we encounter." the third woman explained, "Facing them head on would be a bad idea, we might have to freeze them somehow." Flash Magnus suggested, "Next things we saw were creatures that looked like you guys but changed to swans." Sunburst stated, "Swan maidens, they are usually spies for our enemies." a fifth man responded, "And those black shadowy creatures that emerged out of the waters?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "Umi-bōzus, they hide in the water and sink ships, they are black like shadows and as tall as mountains." a sixth man replied, the ponies and Spike had shocked expressions, "Let's continue, let's write down the last two, what were those creatures in the last land blowing snow and freezing everything?" Spike questioned, "Yuki-onnas, they are an all female type of creature just like the swan maidens, the yuki-onnas float around and freeze everything by blowing snow out of their mouths." the second man explained, "My, they sound almost like our world's Windigos." Princess Cadance remarked, "I see the resemblance, too." Shining Armor stated, "And the last flying creatures we saw?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "Angels, they are from Heaven, from the info we have gathered, there are nine different types: Angels, Archangels, Principalities, Powers, Virtues, Dominions, Thrones, Cherubim, and Seraphim, only the Angels and Archangels have been sent to fight us." a sixth man explained, "And those spears with yellow lightning they use?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "That is the primary weapon of the angels since they usually attack from the sky, the magic on their spears counter the magic the demons use." the fifth man stated, "Wow. Alright then, now, the other creatures that are not here in this world yet, we need to know about them as well." Twilight Sparkle spoke, "Very well, we'll start with our native fauna first, those giant moose there are cervalces', they mostly ram into us. Those elephants with the big tusks are anancus', those giant snakes are titanoboas, they constrict their prey, those giant four-legged lizards there are megalanias, those giant sloths there are megatheriums, those big bears are arctodus', very dangerous. The big apes there are gigantopithecus', the big alligators there by the waters are deinosuchus', the crocodiles beside them are sarcosuchus', the big squids in the water under them are cameroceras', the big turtle on the water's surface are archelons, and the big sharks in the waters are megalodons, very dangerous, so be careful if you encounter them, and the last non-dinosaur animal here are those big birds there, they are called argentavis'. The rest of the antagonistic fauna are dinosaurs, they are divided into several types, these here are the pterosaurs with the arambourgianias commanding them, these here are the northosauruses, they command the northosaurs. These are the shonisauruses, they command the ichthyosaurs, these here beside them are the elasmosauruses, commanders of the plesiosaurs, the next closest ones are the kronosauruses, commanders of the pilosaurs, and the last water dinosaur types are the mosasaureses here, commanders of the mosasaurs. The land dinosaurs here are higher ranked than the flying and swimming dinosaurs, these here are the stegosauruses, commanders of the thyreophorans, the next ones here are the pachycephalosauruses, commanders of the pachycephalosaurians. These dinosaurs here with two horns on their heads and horn on their noses are eotriceratops', commanders of the ceratopsians, these giant long-necked dinosaurs are the argentinosauruses, commanders of the sauropods, these dinosaurs here are the shantungosauruses, commanders of the ornithopods, and these are the spinosauruses, commanders of all of the dinosaurs, we were surprised because we thought the tyrannosauruses or giganotosauruses were going to be the supreme dinosaur commanders, but they're not." the first man explained, "Wow, you guys sure have a lot of different types of dinosaurs." Spike remarked, "Those are only the commanding types, there are many more different types if we tell you all of the races." the third woman responded, "We don't have time for all of that, please tell us about the other type of creatures you all are fighting." Princess Celestia requested, "A common creature we fight not here yet are ghosts, they are the dead returning as spirits, they haunt us and can possess people and objects." the fourth man stated, "Ooh, that's scary." Fluttershy quivered, "I've noticed some creatures you guys didn't talk about yet resemble the dinosaurs, can you explain to us who they are?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Very well, the plesiosaur one there is the Loch Ness Monster, the plesiosaur by it is Morgawr, the third plesiosaur by them is Issie, the big water serpent there is Ikuchi, the other water serpentine dragon by it there is Mizuchi, the shark hiding in the waters there is Isonade, that big eel-like creature in the water there is the Lambton Worm, and those three big, tall, bipedal ape-like creatures have different names, the brown one is Bigfoot, the white one is Yeti, and the black one is Hibagon." the fifth man explained, the ponies and Spike noticed their Yeti looked very different from the ones in Yakyakistan, "Wait, that giant many legged bug crawling on the mountain back there isn't a dinosaur?" Pinkie Pie asked, "No, that's the Ōmukade, one of a kind." the fourth woman answered, "What about the other bears, are they old and ancient animals, too?" Rarity asked, "No, they are types of demons, those one-eyed bears are nandi bears, and those bipedal bears are onikumas, and just like werewolves, we have were-bears to contend with as well." a sixth woman answered, "Um, I don't mean to be rude and interrupt, but is that colorful bird there a dinosaur, too?" Fluttershy asked, "Oh, that's the Kongamato, we don't know what that is, but we haven't ruled out the possibility of it being a dinosaur." the first woman answered, "What about that big snake there? Is that another titanoboa?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No, that's the Basilisk, it's another one of a kind monster, anything that looks into its eyes dies and its breath makes creatures choke." the fourth man responded, "We'll see to dispose of it quickly." Princess Celestia stated, "Speaking of snakes, that really small one on the ground there to the left in the picture is the Tsuchinoko, it is much nimbler than it looks, it has venom in its fangs, too." the fourth woman stated, "Aw, it looks rather cute." Fluttershy remarked, "Are there anymore prehistoric looking animals you all would like to mention?" Princess Celestia questioned, "Sure, that creature with the spines coming out of its back is the Chupacabra, it is a very fast runner, those big apes with the fangs there are the yowies, those black apes with red eyes near the top in the background are the skunk apes, those cats there with dark gray fur and black stripes are mngwas, extremely dangerous. Those bipedal birds with human features and body shapes in the sky in the picture's upper-left corner are ekeks, and those humans with bat wings and talons beside them to their rights are the wakwaks." the first man answered, "So they don't have any special powers or magic?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Well, the ekeks can transform into huge birds and bats, it and the wakwaks can also trick people into believing they're closer or farther away than they actually are, the closer they are, the fainter their sounds are, and the louder, the farther away they are, but the other creatures he just mentioned only have claws and teeth and no magic." the first woman replied, "I see, I've noticed a giant skeleton in the background of the picture as well." Princess Luna remarked, "That is the Gashadokuro, it was a skeleton even when first created, it's been hunting and eating us humans." the third man answered, "You all sure that's not a skeleton of one of the giants?" Sunburst questioned, "I doubt it, look at it and the giants, it's much bigger and taller than them." Shining Armor replied, "Hold on, Ah think Ah see another snake, is that... an elephant's head and tusk it has there?" Applejack questioned, "Grootslang, it is another one of the enemy army's powerhouses, it is also one of the first beings created on our planet." a sixth man explained, "I figured it was one of the heavy hitters, you can tell it's strong by just looking at it." Rainbow Dash remarked, "So, what's next to know?" Princess Cadance requested, "See those flying flames in the skies there, those are certain types of ghosts, there's two types: onibi and will-o'-the-wisp, we can't tell the difference between the two so we use them interchangeably, and that stream of light in front of them is a tenka, another form of a ghost, and those floating flames with faces are kechibis, another type of ghost, the next ghost is by them, it's those human females with children in their bodies, those are mu-onnas." the second man explained, "That reminds me, see those creatures down in the lower-left corner of the picture? Those are draugr, they're smarter than zombies and use weapons." a seventh woman stated, "Are they mindless?" Applejack questioned, "Not completely, they know how to use weapons, they don't eat us, either." the seventh woman answered, "Those creatures beside them are ogres, they usually reside in swamps, they and the orcs occasionally team up together." the fourth man stated, "Are there anymore big group creatures in your enemy's army?" Princess Celestia questioned, "Yes, those down near the center there are the Fomorians, that guy leading them is Balor. Those guys there with human upper-bodies and horse lower-bodies are centaurs, they are fast, strong, and skilled archers. The guys there with them with goat legs are satyrs, they also use use bow and arrows and play music to cast magic.

Rainbow Dash questioned, "Yes, but unlike the others, they have no loyalty to the leader and do not follow his orders, they do as they please, they're only working together to achieve the common goal of making our kind extinct." the fourth man explained, "Who are they?" Princess Celestia questioned, "Fujin was a god of wind and Raijin was a god of lightning, the bearded guy there with the lightning bolts is Zeus, another god of lightning, the tall guy in the sea is his brother, Poseidon, god of the sea, that guy controlling the zombies and skeletons there is their other brother, Hades, god of the dead, that woman in the water is Amphitrite, goddess of the sea and Poseidon's wife, the woman coming out of the ground there is Persephone, the goddess of fertility and Hades' wife, the woman with the bow there is Artemis, goddess of hunting and the moon. That old bearded guy on the eight legged horse is Odin, a god of war and death, the Valkyries serve under him, and the horse is Sleipnir, and that guy with the hammer to their rights is Thor, another god of lightning. That green skinned guy is Osiris, god of the dead, the blue skinned guy is Amun, god of air, the guy with the falcon head is Ra, god of the sun, the other guy with the falcon head is Khonshu, god of the moon, the guy with the jackal head is Anubis, another god of the dead, the big serpent beside him is Apep, god of chaos and darkness, the guy with the donkey head is Set, another god of war. The four armed guy is Vishnu, god of preservation, the guy beside him with the spear is Bishamonten, yet another god of war. The woman with the black hair there and in the fancy white kimono is Amaterasu, another goddess of the sun, the guy to her right there in the blue robes is her brother, Tsukuyomi, another god of the moon. That short blue skinned guy is Huitzilopochtli, god of the sun and war, and that strange looking flying guy to his left is Pazuzu, god of plagues and the southwestern wind." the fifth man responded, "Is that everybody besides the leader?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "From what we've heard from our enemies, there are also nine gods from outer space called the Outer Gods, we've never seen them, but we heard their names are Azathoth, Cxaxukluh, Daoloth, Ghroth, Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, Tulzscha, Yibb-Tstll, and Yog-Sothoth, and they're ugly and scary looking." the first woman responded, "What is this outer space?" Applejack asked, "We don't know." the third man stated, "Hmm, I see, is that all?" Princess Celestia inquired, "Yes, only one left is the enemies' supreme commander, Volvox, he's that big three-headed quadrupedal creature in the very center of the picture." the fourth man replied, everybody looked at him with shock, "So that's who that is." Star Swirl the Bearded commented, "Still, wow, what a bunch of different type of creatures." Starlight Glimmer stated, "Thank you all for your time, you new people may go." Princess Celestia said, and the humans left, "We have to prepare quickly, this world has never gone up against an army of so many different creatures, we actually face the threat of extinction this time, we have to start preparing accordingly and immediately." Princess Celestia stated, and the ponies and Spike began preparing Equestria's, the Crystal Empire's, and Saddle Arabia's defenses. The next few days passed mostly peacefully while the mummies tried casting spell and the world's natives' shields repelled them, they also blocked the spears thrown by the angels, blocked out any snow the yuki-onnas breathed on them, blocked out the Sluagh and the skeleton angels, demons, fallen angels, incubi, succubi, fairies, vampires, flying were-beasts, and dragons, blocked the rocks and debris thrown by the oni, and skeleton giants, orcs, dwarfs, and cyclopes, blocked the arrows shot by White Rider and the skeleton elves and fairies, and just barely blocked the volcanic eruptions and hurricanes Typhon summoned, "The shields aren't going to hold against that Typhon guy." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Y'all come up with anythin' that'll work against him?" Applejack asked, "Not yet, I think we may have to call Discord to deal with him." Twilight Sparkle replied, "So... what do we do about them?" Sweetie Belle questioned, "Well, obviously, trying to offer them friendship is out of the question, they're likely going to attack us on sight." Twilight Sparkle responded, "We haven't been able to sleep cause of their racket." Apple Bloom remarked, "Yeah, some of the foals at school said they're having nightmares, too." Scootaloo added, "Y'all kids go into hidin', it's too dangerous to be out right now." Applejack stated, white electricity appeared in the sky and a black hole opened, draugr fell out and into the water, they began swimming to the nearest lands and the ones on Equestria began attacking with swords, shields, spears, axes, hammers, clubs, and maces while the ones on human lands fired arrows. Valkyries rode out on horses and they threw spears at the shields, Thor then came out and shot lightning strikes by swinging his hammer, Odin emerged next while riding on Sleipnir, he rammed into the shield and began stabbing it with his spear, the ponies exclaimed when they saw his spear pierce through the magic shield, "What?!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, "How did he get through the shield?!" Rainbow Dash inquired, "Odin's spear is magical in nature, it also always hits his target no matter what." one man explained, "Well, judging by where he's stabbing, his target is... *gasp* his target is me!" Twilight Sparkle stated, "Some of our enemies can foresee the future, I'm guessing they see you as a big problem for them because of that." one woman deduced, "Well, anyway, we gotta do something, he's going to get through to us at anytime." Rainbow Dash remarked, the umi-bōzus emerged out of the waters and began slamming their arms down on the shield around Mount Aris while the Royal Hippogriff Navy quickly sailed away, portals opened inside the magic shields and zombies came out. They moaned and moved slowly while everybody just stood around and watched them, "No wonder why they're Volvox's first group of attackers." Spike snarked, the zombies stumbled around and tried to bite anyone nearby and they just moved around slowly, the unicorns shot zaps at them and made them disappear. More rifts opened and many more monsters came in and began attacking the world's natives, the shields eventually went down and Stymphalian birds flew around and began pecking the humans with their bladed beaks. The unicorns and alicorns shot zaps at them to make them disappear and fallen angels appeared in the sky next, "Is something on our end opening them?" Rainbow Dash inquired, "No, I sensed those holes with my magic, someone or more than one person are opening rifts between this world and the other world, something big is coming through to east of the Dragon Lands, too." Twilight Sparkle answered, everybody looked and saw a lot of electricity appearing in the sky and water, they disappeared and everybody's jaws dropped when they saw Volvox and his entire army. Volvox stood in the very center of his entire army and Tom flew forward, he led all of the orcs, dwarfs, elves, fairies, vampires, were-beasts, trolls, ghouls, goblins, alps, giants, cyclopes, incubi, succubi, and dragons, Poseidon commanded the oceanids, the seven archangels led the angels, Typhon commanded his world's Orthrus, his world's Cerberus, his world's Chimera, the Nemean Lion, his world's Hydra, his world's Sphinx, the Colchian Dragon, Ladon, and the Caucasian Eagle, Azrael and Abaddon led the fallen angels, the Seven Princes of Hell and the seventy two Solomon demons led the demons, the spinosauruses led the other prehistoric fauna, Shuten-dōji led the onis, Balor led the Formorians, and Volvox ordered the rest of the monsters around. Volvox and all of the creatures present used their various powers and abilities to lay waste to the countries while the humans and world's natives tried to fight back, fire, lightning, ice, water, wind, lava, light magic, and dark magic appeared everywhere while Volvox and his army worked together to create every kind of natural disaster. The unicorns and alicorns cast magic spells that had various levels of effect on them, the Pegasi flew around and tried bucking and kicking them, the earth ponies used catapults to launch various items at them, the dragons breathed fire at them and some creatures burned while others were immune, the griffons flew away while some tried biting and pecking the creatures, the zombies bit them and they got sick, the changelings changed to various fauna of the world and fought the invaders head-on, the yaks charged forward and rammed them, the seaponies and hippogriffs worked together to fight off the invaders while using their naval ships, and the kirins changed to niriks and tried to burn the invaders while also using telekinesis. Volvox swatted the Pegasi, dragons, griffons, changelings, and hippogriffs away while shooting six orange hellfire blasts out of his front left foot, one from each claw tip and one from the ball of his foot, "So their leader uses fire magic." Applejack remarked, "This isn't ordinary fire magic, I sense dark magic in it, he's using hellfire, it's much stronger than ordinary fire." Princess Celestia explained, she saw Dommiel create shadow duplicates of himself and they grew wings out of their backs and flew forward to attack the other countries, the angels threw spears enchanted with light magic while the fallen angels threw spears enchanted with dark magic, the regular demons cast fire and shadow spells, the vampires transformed into bipedal bats and flew around, and the human looking members of Volvox's army transformed into werewolves, were-bears, were-lions, were-tigers, were-owls, were-vultures, were-sharks, and were-honey badgers. Volvox reeled up on his hind legs and orange circles appeared on in his three mouths, on his four eyes and in the two eye holes of his skeletal head, on the tip of his front legs' claws, and the balls of his front feet, and red electricity appeared on his tail's tip, "Take cover!" a human male ordered, and all twenty one orange balls shot out up to fifty hellfire blasts while red lightning shot out of his tail in all directions, explosions covered the world and destroyed the countries' buildings while the world's natives watched in horror, the houses and architecture fell apart while Volvox stopped attacking and back on all fours. Volvox and his army continued moving forward and destroyed everything in their path, the humans and world's natives saw they were not doing well, Princess Celestia cast a spell to make the sun brighter, it shot a big beam out and burned everything it touched, some of the creatures in Volvox's army turned to ashes and Volvox quickly used his powers to open the ground and he and his entire army went underground. Everybody panted while they saw how much destruction the invaders caused, "Is everyone alright?" Applejack asked, the humans nodded, "What an enormous army." Princess Luna stated, "So, did they get scared and run away?" Rainbow Dash asked, "No, they've withdrawn for now and are recovering, Volvox is probably planning the next attack right now, too." one man explained, "Where exactly did they go?" Rarity questioned, "Very deep underground, we won't reach them no matter how far we dig." a woman responded, "Well, let's go ahead and rebuild and fortify for now, we usually don't use violence, but it seems we have no choice this time." Twilight Sparkle commented, "Do you guys have any way to view other worlds, realms, or dimensions?" a boy asked, "Well, we could try casting a spell and see if anything comes up." Starlight Glimmer answered, "Can you try to bring the rest of us here?" a girl requested, "Sure, come on, Starlight, let's try opening the rifts to their world together." Twilight Sparkle said, and she and Starlight Glimmer cast a spell. The rifts reopened and everybody saw the humans' world, the humans screamed and exclaimed with shock and horror and some cried when they saw all of their civilizations and settlements were destroyed and the humans who remained on Earth were dead, "So that's why Volvox and his monsters took a while to get here, they were busy slaughtering the ones who didn't come here before arriving themselves." one man said, "It looks like we're the only humans left." one woman added, "I got a mirror that leads to another world with creatures like you guys, a friend of mine named Sunset Shimmer lives there, I'll contact her after we finish rebuilding and fortifying." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the creatures worked together. Volvox and his army of creatures, prehistoric animals, angels, demons, fallen angels, and gods were in the world's core and watching carefully, "So those are our new enemies." Zeus commented, "And unlike the humans, they have magic and spells to use against us." Odin added, "Those humans are lucky to have such allies." Barbatos commented, "Indeed, if it were not for them appearing here, we would've wiped them out by now." Paimon replied, "I am ready to wipe out humanity, the Maker didn't make them." Typhon remarked, "Yeah, we were on Earth first, too." Thor added, "What are thinking of doing for our next attack, Volvox?" Lucifer asked, "I'm still arranging things in my heads right now, I'm hoping our next assault will wipe out our enemies." Volvox answered, "I think sending in our shapeshifters to spy on this world's creatures would be a good idea." Dommiel suggested, "I agree, we just arrived, so we don't know how powerful this world's natives are." Tom added, "That is why I am labeling them as extremely high level threats in my mind right now." Volvox responded, "So, should we send a message to this world's natives not to mess with us?" a Valkyrie suggested, "Yeah, that sounds good, let them know to leave us alone." another Valkyrie remarked, "We should also destroy their capitals as warnings." Pazuzu stated, many creatures agreed, "No." Volvox said, the others looked at him, "We treat them like how we treat our human enemies, no warnings, threats, or messages of any kind, and we take no prisoners, we attack them from their blind spots as well. When we attack, we destroy every piece of land and civilization, we do not rest until we kill every single human, native creature, flora, and fauna until there is not a square millimeter of life left in this world, and if they give up and surrender, we kill them. I, myself, will be partaking in the next assault, we attack the humans and this world's natives in their blind spots tonight while they are asleep, I will now assign you all which country to attack." Volvox explained, and he began. The world's natives rebuilt and fortified their countries and were tired at the end of the day, they slept peacefully at night while Princess Luna was in the dream realm, everybody was relaxed until they suddenly woke up screaming from getting attacked, Volvox shot hundreds of hellfire blasts into Equestria and the Crystal Empire from under the ground, Dommiel created shadow duplicates of himself and attacked every country, Tom and the dragons shot fire and lightning into every country, Giovi and the ghouls attacked and bit the humans, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael Uriel, Selaphiel, Jegudiel, Barachiel, and the angels shot yellow lightning and threw spears into every country, Azrael, Abaddon, and the fallen angels shot big black blasts of dark magic into Equestria, Lucifer smashed buildings with his fists while also shooting black blasts out of his eyes everywhere, Leviathan rammed Seaquestria's architecture and ate any seapony in his way, Mammon made coins fly around and cut people, Beelzebub summoned flies all over the world to eat the humans and world's natives, Belphegor made the world's gravity stronger to make the world's natives fall, Asmodeus' eyes glowed and it caused infighting among the humans, and Satan made fire appear in random places around the world. The world's natives struggled to fight the invaders and stopped for a second when the seventy two Solomon demons appeared.

Amdusias made trees appear while also summoning a storm. Belial burned everything with his chariot. Decarabia changed into birds that kicked and pecked the humans and world's natives. Seere did hit-and-run attacks, and all seventy two of them commanded thousands of demons. Twilight Sparkle watched in horror at seeing the humans be incompetent while their invisible enemies attacked them from everywhere and nothing worked against them, the world got destroyed while the unicorns and kirins tried to look for the demon casting the invincibility spell. Zombies, skeletons, and mummies appeared everywhere while the humans and world's natives could not see them, the zombies bit the humans and turned them into zombies while the skeletons used melee weapons and the mummies cast black magic and necromancy.

The ponies came out of hiding and the unicorns and alicorns put the shields down, the other survivors emerged from underground and looked on in shock and horror at their destroyed world, "Our home..." King Thorax lamented, "It's too damaged to rebuild." Pharynx replied, "Wow, compared to the other countries, ours didn't get damaged very much." Princess Ember commented, "We got less casualties, too." Dragon Lord Torch added, "I guess us dragons being tough helped this time." Garble remarked, "Yeah, though we still have to be careful, our enemies can still got through our scales and armor." Smolder reminded, "Same can't be said about Griffonstone, place has been reduced to ashes." Gallus said, "It's a miracle we survived, all of that fire was scary." Gabby responded, "Yeah, I thought I was a goner." Gilda added, "There's only a few of us griffons left, we suffered heavy casualties." Grampa Gruff reminded, "How are the other countries?" Princess Celestia questioned, "Horrible, we got a lot of very sick citizens in ours, the invaders have turned the Crystal Empire into a disease ridden environment." Princess Cadance reported, "Cloudsdale's not any better, the weather factory has been destroyed and many Pegasi are too injured to move." Spitfire reported, "Yakyakistan destroyed, yaks have no home." Prince Rutherford reported, "Mount Aris got heavily damaged, we had many casualties, too." Sky Beak reported, "Seaquestria has taken massive damage as well, we also have heavy casualties and its waters have been electrified." General Seaspray reported, "Kirin Grove has been frozen over, we got frozen kirins and niriks as well." Rain Shine reported, "And from the looks of it, it seems the Bone Dry Desert didn't have much damage done to it and Kludgetown is completely destroyed, I don't see any survivors either." Twilight Sparkle stated as she flew up and observed, "Are there anymore survivors?" Princess Celestia questioned, they gathered up and she saw the survivors were herself, Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Grampa Gruff, King Thorax, Pharynx, Prince Rutherford, Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, Sky Beak, Ocean Flow, Terramar, General Seaspray, Rain Shine, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunburst, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, Silverstream, Autumn Blaze, Doctor Whooves, Daisy, Lily Valley, Roseluck, Derpy, DJ Pon-3, Octavia, Daring Do, Photo Finish, Spitfire, and a few more citizens, "This is all that's left of this world?" Silverstream asked, "Trixie?" Starlight Glimmer called out, "Over here." Trixie hollered from debris being moved around with telekinesis, Starlight Glimmer moved the remaining debris and Trixie ran forward, she came out and ran to the others. Everybody looked for more survivors and they heard running to the northeast, they saw Tempest Shadow arrive with Grubber and several Storm Guards, "Oh, thank goodness, I was worried about you, Tempest Shadow." Twilight Sparkle said, "We tried to fight back, but nothing worked no matter what we tried." Tempest Shadow replied, "About that, we cast some counter spells to discover why they're like that, turns out one of the commanders is casting an invincibility spell on the entire army." Starlight Glimmer revealed, "Invincibility? Well, that explains a lot." Tempest Shadow remarked, "We pretty much wasted all of our resources." Grubber commented, "We can still fight." Tempest Shadow reminded, "I'll go ahead and write a letter to Sunset Shimmer saying we need her help." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she made a sheet of paper and a quill and began writing and soon finished, "Okay, so... um? Is this everybody?" Autumn Blaze asked, "I hope not, come on, let's keep looking." Sandbar remarked, and everybody searched the world for survivors. Volvox and his army were underground Volvox watched the world's natives group up, "I think it would be best if we kill them now, Volvox." Dommiel suggested, the others agreed, "Not yet." Volvox said, the others exclaimed with confusion, "The survivors are still scattered across the land, let them group up, we will launch our next attack when they are all in one place and try to wipe them all out in one swoop." Volvox explained, "I agree with Volvox, that sounds like a good idea." the Satori spoke, "Plus, my invincibility spell will make it impossible for them to fight back." Foras boasted, "Can you cast it on yourself, Foras?" Volvox questioned, "Nope, only works on others." Foras responded, "I see, those who can see into the future, are the natives making a counter spell to it?" Volvox inquired, "Yes, but we still win, we still got Alloces' immortality spell, too." Vassago responded, "And the Outer Gods? When will they come?" Volvox asked, "Near the end of the battle in this world." Barbatos answered, "Alright, go ahead and rest now, we launch another sneak attack when all of the survivors are gathered in one place." Volvox said, and they watched the world. The world's natives and humans gathered together and the unicorns tried to change them back to normal and undo Marbas', Orias', and Andrealphus' powers, "I'm having trouble changing them back." Starlight Glimmer remarked, "Me too, these spells of theirs are stronger than usual." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Do y'all know how to undo their spells?" Applejack asked, the male humans did not respond, "Are you all alright?" Princess Cadance asked worriedly, the female humans looked at them and checked them, "Oh, no, it's Gaap, he makes the male humans stupid with his powers, it's still in effect." a female human explained, "A brain altering spell, I might have something to help with that." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "Discord, where are you?" Fluttershy called out, he appeared in the air, "Here I am, I must say, that was quite the show." Discord said while eating popcorn, "Where were you when we needed your help?" Fluttershy inquired while raising her voice and Discord dropped his popcorn, "I was... uh... busy tending to problems in my realm." Discord replied while sweating, "What kind of problems?" Fluttershy asked while glaring and focusing on him, Um..." Discord said while sweating, "There was no problem, was there?" Fluttershy questioned, "Do you really think I would've stood a chance against that army of many creatures?" Discord asked, "We could've used your help, Discord, your powers could have prevented a lot of the damages around the world now." Fluttershy reprimanded, "Now, now, I may be almighty powerful and all, but that army is too much even for me." Discord remarked, "Couldn't you at least nullify their invincibility spell?" Princess Celestia inquired, "Considering how powerful the caster is, unlikely." Discord stated, "Well, can you at least try to undo the damage you see before you?" Princess Luna requested, "Sure, hope you all like sweets." Discord responded, and he changed the world to be full of desserts and confectioneries and the world rained chocolate, "What? What is this?!" Princess Ember fumed, "Is something the matter?" Discord asked, "Dragons don't eat sweets." Dragon Lord Torch answered, "What? You guys can't digest it or something?" Discord questioned, "Dragons are tough and just don't like sugar." Smolder replied, "Well, now's not the time to be picky, and Discord, if you would kindly, I would like the crops back so we can grow stuff to use for cooking and baking." Princess Celestia stated, and he did. Everybody continued searching for survivors and Star Swirl the Bearded, Flash Magnus, Somnambula, Mage Meadowbrook, Mistmane, Rockhoof, and Stygian regrouped with them, they began rebuilding while the unicorns tried to come up with a counter spell to Foras' invincibility spell and undo Gaap's spell on the male humans and make them regain their intelligence, "Any luck, y'all?" Applejack asked, "Nope, these spells are proving to be harder to undo than regular unicorn spells." Sweetie Belle responded, "Well, keep tryin', c'mon, Apple Bloom, we gotta work." Applejack said, and they did, Apple Bloom suddenly stopped after several minutes, "What's the matter, Apple Bloom?" Applejack questioned, "They got Big Mac and Granny." Apple Bloom lamented, Applejack looked at where Sweet Apple Acres used to be and saw black ashes everywhere, "Hey, now's not the time, you're not the only one who lost someone. I lost my fellow Wonderbolts, Twilight lost her friends in Canterlot and Ponyville, Pinkie lost Mr. and Mrs. Cake and Sugar Belle, Fluttershy lost all of her pets, Rarity lost all of her business partners, and Applejack lost her family, and all of our pets are gone." Rainbow Dash said, "It's not just them, we looked around, Rainbow, Cheerilee, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, their families, the other students in the class, and Zecora are all gone, too." Twilight Sparkle reported, "I've been looking at my machines and tampering with them, if I'm lucky, I can create a time machine to go back in time before the attack." Doctor Whooves said, "Need me to use my history altering spell with it?" Starlight Glimmer suggested, "I doubt that will help, these newcomers said a few of the invaders are actual gods, time travel and altering history likely has no effect on them." Doctor Whooves stated, "Me and Luna might have to deal with them, gods are usually immune to spells cast by regular ponies." Princess Celestia spoke, "I hate to suggest this, but I think we might have to free Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow to stand a chance against them." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "It's possible, but I have not seen their statues anywhere ever since last night's attack." Princess Celestia stated, "No worries, Twily, we'll take them down, though I am reluctant to destroy them instead of offering friendship." Shining Armor remarked, "We all are, I've never destroyed a person before." Twilight Sparkle responded, "You gotta be tough like a dragon in this case, maybe you should let me and my father lead us in this." Princess Ember suggested, "Before we do, I think us changelings should try to gather info on our enemies." King Thorax suggested, "I agree, we can change into anything, maybe we can see what they're planning next." Ocellus added, "Good idea, go ahead and try changing to their fauna, I think they'll be easier to repulicate, I'll teleport you all to under the ground." Twilight Sparkle stated, and the changelings changed to smilodons, amphicyons, arctoduses, beelzebufos, arthropleurae, velociraptors, microraptors, homotheriums, saber-toothed tigers, dinictises, dire wolfs, aelurodons, borophaguses, and xenosmiluses, "Okay, it looks like all of you are ready, we'll send you down now." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she alongside the other unicorns teleported them to under the ground. Volvox was sitting and listening to Vassago, Barbatos, Paimon, Gusion, Eligos, Botis, Ipos, Purson, Berith, Marchosias, Vual, Balam, Caim, Orobas, Gremory, and Flauros on what they foresaw of future events, "Those multi-colored creatures called changelings should be arriving here soon disguised as the smaller prehistoric animals to spy on us and gather info." Barbatos informed, "Alright, everyone, pretend to be exhausted and you don't know anything." Volvox ordered, and they did. King Thorax, Pharynx, Ocellus, and the other changelings appeared under the ground and are caught off guard by how hot it was, they endured it and saw Volvox and his army, they pretended to sleep while the changelings went over. They went over to the animals they posed as and tried to watch them, the animals pretended to sleep and kept their eyes' closed, King Thorax ordered the changelings around non-vocally and they began walking around. They tried to walk but saw it was crowded, so they changed to moths and flew around quietly, King Thorax could not find anything new about them and then looked at the other changelings, they shook their heads, they flew away and then changed to unicorns and teleported out. Volvox and the others opened their eyes' and got up, "Alright, they will be attacking us soon." Paimon commented, "Get ready, everyone." Volvox stated, and they did. The changelings returned to the surface and sweated and panted heavily, the unicorns cast spells to make ice appear to cool them, "How were they?" Tempest Shadow asked, "Asleep, it looks like they're exhausted from fighting us and are currently recovering." King Thorax reported, "Come on, now's our chance to strike." Princess Ember said, "Wait, how can you be sure it's not a trap?" Princess Luna questioned, "We didn't see anything that implies they're setting a trap." Pharynx replied, "See, that settles it, us dragons will go in first, everyone else, stay behind us." Princess Ember ordered, and they did and the unicorns opened the ground with their magic. They descended down and saw the invaders, Volvox shot big hellfire blasts out of his three mouths at them and the world's natives exclaimed loudly while Twilight Sparkle, Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart put up shields, Volvox stretched his necks out and went into the ground, his heads went under the shields and entered them, he shot his hellfire blasts into them and everybody screamed while Princess Celestia teleported everybody back onto the surface. The unicorns healed everybody while they hyperventilated, "I swore they were asleep." King Thorax remarked, "The ground opening probably woke them up." Twilight Sparkle deduced, "Unlikely, they were already alert instead of drowsy, they likely saw you guys coming." Tempest Shadow remarked, "But how?" Ocellus inquired, "Several high ranking members in Volvox's army can see into the future, remember?" a human female reminded, "We thought they were just seeing possible future outcomes." Sandbar stated, "No, they foresee the events that will happen, not events that might happen." a second human female explained, "What?!" Rarity exclaimed, "That's not fair! How are we supposed to win then?!" Rainbow Dash inquired, "What are we supposed to do then?!" Silverstream asked, "I'll come up with something, we need to nullify their future seeing powers and invincibility spell first and foremost." Princess Celestia replied, "Can't you do anything, Discord?" Terramar asked, "Well, I can try, but since they can see into the future, they will see me coming." Discord reminded, "We'll try to come up with something, you all continue trying to heal the male humans and undo the spell on them." Twilight Sparkle said, and they did. Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia went through their destroyed books in hopes of finding something, the mirror flashed and Sunset Shimmer arrived, "I'm here... whoa, what happened?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "You don't wanna know." Sweetie Belle replied, and she walked to help the others, "Have you been informed about our situation?" Tempest Shadow asked, "A bit, Twilight let me know the gist of it." Sunset Shimmer responded, the male humans groaned and looked around, "Where are we?" a male human asked, "It looks like the spell on them has been undone." Photo Finish commented while smiling, "Spell? Did Gaap make us stupid again?" a second male human asked, "Yes, the spell just got undone." a female human answered, "Must be convenient to have magic." a third male human remarked, "Yeah, all we got are knives, daggers, swords, shields, spears, javelins, axes, maces, clubs, hammers, sickles, halberds, pikes, staffs, bows, arrows, and crossbows, we don't have any of the powers our enemies have." a fourth man stated, "Wait a minute, y'all can't use magic?" Applejack asked, the humans shook their heads, "What about flying, can you guys do that?" Rainbow Dash asked, the humans shook their heads, "Are you guys as strong as the earth ponies here?" Sweetie Belle questioned, the humans shook their heads, "What about swimming?" Silverstream asked, "We can only swim at a certain depth, our bodies can't handle the water pressure if we go too deep." a second female human stated, "We can't swim against strong tides either." the first man added, "What can y'all do then?" Applejack asked, "We can walk, run, throw, punch, kick, make and use weapons, build, hunt, ride horses, fish, wrestle, and cook, our entertainment stuff haven't been helpful against our enemies, and they can do all of those too." the third man answered, "Well, I live in a world with your kind in it, too, so I know what you all are capable of." Sunset Shimmer stated, the humans' attentions got caught, "Are the humans in your world like us?" the second man asked, "Well, in the having no magic part, mostly yes, but as for the way you guys dress, no, your outfits are from a time in history called ancient times, I'm guessing your world is maybe at least two thousand years behind the world I'm in, minimum." Sunset Shimmer explained, "What is that human world like?" the first woman asked, "Fun, lots of entertainment and electronics." Sunset Shimmer responded, "Electronics?" the first man questioned, "Well, I'm not sure you all would understand it even if I did explain it." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Does it involve lightning?" the first man asked, "In a way, yes, but not like the lightning you guys are familiar with." Sunset Shimmer responded, "How is it different?" the second woman inquired, "Well, first of all, it's very small, you can't see it with your eyes." Sunset Shimmer answered, "What do you mean?" a third man asked, "Many centuries after your guys' time in my world, it was discovered that there are living beings and objects that are so small, you can't see them with your eyes, you need a device called a microscope to see them." Sunset Shimmer explained, "Small organisms that cannot be seen? We must see this." the second man said, "I can take you guys to my world if you wish." Sunset Shimmer suggested, "No, it will bring Volvox and his army to invade that world as well, we will remain here." the first man replied, "Alright then, I'll bring the stuff here then." Sunset Shimmer stated, and she ran back into the mirror. She came back with the microscopes and showed the humans, "Wow, who knew such things even existed." the third man said, "Well, you guys do live in a time where no one knew they were real, it's not surprising you all don't know about them." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Do you have views of gangrene?" the first woman requested, "Sorry, but no." Sunset Shimmer answered, and the humans continued examining the microscopic views of various things while the world's natives continued gathering together and rebuilding. Volvox was listening to his future seers and planning his next moves, "The last survivors will meet up soon, they are the parents and sisters of that pink horse, be wary, Volvox, they have powers that allow them to break the physics." Paimon warned, "When will those three in the statues be released?" Volvox asked, "Soon, after the next attack, they will be released, and an uneasy alliance will form between them." Ipos answered, "They will try to attack the one named Discord due to a past event but will be restrained, they will fail, but if they did succeed, they will try to obtain a bell that he hid to try to steal away our magic to empower themselves, they will target Foras first and try to take away his powers, mainly his invincibility spell, they will come after us future seers next so they can rob us of our ability to see future events." Flauros added, "We need to get that bell then, I'm also seeing signs those five winged unicorns will be our final opponents in this world to take out." Volvox commented, "No, but two of them are the fourth-to-last to fall, those six heroes will be after them, five will fall, then that pink horse and her family that will be standing at the end alongside Discord, he will be our final opponent, and he will empower himself greatly with that bell when he is the only being left on this world." Purson answered, "And the Outer Gods, when will they arrive to help?" Volvox questioned, "The attack after the next, they will greatly help us in wiping out this world." Barbatos replied, "Good, because after we make this world extinct, that world where Sunset Shimmer's residing is next, our goal is wipe out all humans from existence." Volvox stated, the others agreed, "Who do those humans think they were, they started making their own civilizations on our Earth like they owned it." Pixiu said, "Yeah, we were there first, the Maker didn't make them either." Sun Wukong added, "So, when do we attack next, we're getting tired of waiting." Yamata-no-Orochi stated, "Soon, we'll let them relax for now and do another attack when they're relaxed, hopefully, this one will wipe out the humans." Volvox answered, "I think my sisters and I should turn them to stone this time." Stheno suggested, "Indeed, that will make destroying them easier." Euryale added, "I agree, we and Catoblepas should turn them to stone next time." Medusa said, "If all of the survivors are gathered in one place, sure, but you lightning users electrify and paralyze them first if so." Volvox stated, "Perhaps we should have our shapeshifters watch them from afar." Pazuzu suggested, "Not a bad idea, go ahead and go." Volvox stated, and the kitsunes, tanukis, bakenekoes, nekomatas, mujinas, and the Popobawa transformed into various bugs and Volvox made a slight opening in the ground the shapeshifters flew up to the surface. Volvox's shapeshifters kept their distance while Bael cast an invisibility spell on them, they flew up high and far away so the natives do not hear them buzzing. They looked around and noticed Pinkie Pie and Discord seemed to notice their presence, they flew up into the sky and looked down at the world, they saw a stallion and five mares walking together and going to former Ponyville, they flew around the world and noticed they were the last survivors in the world. The Popobawa noticed the world's natives felt like they were being watched and looked around, he flew farther away from them while he noticed Twilight Sparkle was casting a spell, the shapeshifters began to become visible and they quickly hid, "Uh-huh! I knew we were being watched!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, "Well, they're gone now." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "They're not going to find anything, there's really nothing here." Grubber commented, "Let's continue rebuilding, there's still a chance we can survive." Tempest Shadow remarked, and they did. The day passed and everybody heard walking to the west, "Pinkamena Diane Pie, thank goodness, we were worried thou hath perished." Igneous Rock Pie said, Pinkie Pie gasped when she saw him with Cloudy Quartz, Limestone Pie, Maud Pie, and Marble Pie, "*gasp* Mom! Dad! Lime! Maud! Marble!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, and she hugged all of them, "Get off of me!" Limestone Pie demanded, "I am glad you are okay, too, Pinkie, even though I am not enjoying this hugging." Maud Pie commented, and Pinkie Pie let go of them, "Hast thou been well, Pinkamena Diane Pie?" Cloudy Quartz asked, "Mmhm, we are rebuilding and everybody's helping." Pinkie Pie answered, "I must confess, exploring the new land was a bit difficult." Maud Pie commented, "Mmhm." Marble Pie said while nodding, "Well, come on, let's start working, world's not gonna rebuild itself." Limestone Pie remarked, and Pinkie Pie and her family began breaking the laws of physics to rebuild the world. Volvox and his army were watching the world's natives while he noticed all of the world's survivors were now in one place, "Get ready, we attack tonight while they're asleep, those who can paralyze others with lightning, turn others to stone, and kill others by looking at them will attack first, all of us attack together as a group if they fail." Volvox stated, and they did. The world's natives and humans worked all day and became tired and slept, the dragons patrolled the world and looked for any enemies while the other creatures slept peacefully, Volvox opened the ground quietly while Bael, Foras, and Balam cast their invisibility spells while Foras also cast his invincibility spell and Ronove enchanted them to enhance their physical and magical capabilities. Tom, Barachiel, Zeus, Thor, Furfur, Amdusias, Thunderbird, Nue, Raijū, the Basilisk, Volvox's Cockatrice, Catoblepas, Boogeyman, Stheno, Euryale, Medusa, Raijin, and the lightning dragons went forward. They went high into the sky while Volvox moved the Basilisk, his Cockatrice, Catoblepas, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa with his telekinesis, Dragon Lord Torch looked and noticed orange outlines around six invisible creatures in the air, "INTRUDERS!!" Dragon Lord Torch yelled, everybody woke up while Tom, Barachiel, Zeus, Thor, Furfur, Amdusias, Thunderbird, Nue, Raijū, Boogeyman, Raijin, and the lightning dragons shot lightning down at the humans and world's natives. The unicorns and alicorns quickly put up shields to block the lightning strikes, they exclaimed when the force knocked them down and hitting the magic shields produced shockwaves that destroyed the world and set it on fire, Igneous Rock Pie, Cloudy Quartz, Limestone Pie, Maud Pie, Pinkie Pie, and Marble Pie disappeared out of everybody's sights and appeared in the sky. They began doing hit-and-run attacks while they bypassed Foras' invincibility spell, everybody got attacked by them left, right, front, back, above, and below, Dommiel made shadow deplicates of himself appear and tried to restrain them while Giovi also appeared and tried to slash them with his blades and teleported around. The ground erupted and the rest of Volvox's army appeared, Volvox stretched his necks out and burrowed them into the ground, they appeared inside the shields and he shot hellfire blasts in them, everybody screamed and quickly put their shields down. The spinosauruses, argentinosauruses, shantungosauruses, eotriceratopses, pachycephalosauruses, stegosauruses, arambourgianias, smilodons, amphicyons, elasmotheriums, anancuses, arctoduses, entelodonts, titanoboas, deinosuchuses, sarcosuchuses, megalanias, megatheriums, argentavises, beelzebufos, gigantopithecuses, arthropleuras, cervalceses, velociraptors, tyrannosauruses, giganotosauruses, American lions, mastodons, quetzalcoatluses, allosaurus, woolly mammoths, tiktaaliks, sordeses, pterodactyls, microraptors, triceratopses, chilesauruses, homotheriums, saber-toothed tigers, dinictises, dire wolves, aelurodons, borophaguses, and xenosmiluses charged forward and began scratching, biting, stomping, tail whacking, pecking, punching, kicking, ramming, and contricting the world's natives and humans. Everybody screamed and some of the humans and hippogriffs tried hiding in the waters but Volvox made mosasauruses, kronosauruses, elasmosauruses, shonisauruses, nothosauruses, archelons, camerocerases, megalodons, liopleurodons, atopodentatuses, eurypteruseses appear and attack them. The changelings and crystal ponies tried to fight but the incubi and sucubi absorbed their loves into themselves and weakened them while the kitsunes, tanukis, bakenekoes, nekomatas, and mujinas shapeshifted into various monsters but Discord changed them around, the Popobawa tried transforming but Discord changed his form around as well. Tom and his dragons breathed fire, summoned lightning from the sky, created powerful gusts by flapping their wings, and rode on the water waves and attacked everybody, Dragon Lord Torch's dragons breathed fire at them and the orcs began attacking them with their war hammers, the giants, onis, Shuten-dōji, and ogres attacked them with their clubs, the Tsurube-otoshi was carried through the sky by Volvox's telekinesis and made fall on Dragon Lord Torch's dragons, Hibagon, Bigfoot, Volvox's Yeti, the skunk apes, and yowies attacked them by bashing and throwing rocks at them, and the giants, golems, and Laestrygonians attacked them by slamming their fists down and punching them. Princess Ember realized their attackers' blunt attacks were cracking and breaking their armors and scales, she looked at the crystal ponies and saw they were sick, the Keukegan induced sicknesses on them, the Hound of Baskervilles placed death curses on them, the Flatwoods Monster let out shrill hisses while everybody around it felt sick, and Leraje infected the wounded creatures with gangrene. The unicorns undid the spell on the humans and made get their intelligence and thought processes back, they tried to fight back but Volvox grabbed some of the humans with his telekinesis and took them to his bipedal creatures, they held the humans in front of themselves and used them as shields while the other humans found themselves unable to attack and kill their fellow humans while the unicorns gasped, the angels, fallen angels, and Valkyries threw their spears at the humans and killed them, Michael then took his sword out and began slashing the world's natives and set them on fire, Gabriel blew a trumpet to summon natural disasters, Raphael shot arrows while also summoning tsunamis, Uriel absorbed souls out of peoples' bodies, Selaphiel summoned smoke to hide others, Jegudiel attacked with his three thonged whip, and Barachiel shot lightning out of his hands while his rose petals cut whoever they touched. The fallen angels cast shadows all over the land and it became pitch black, they hid in Selaphiel's smoke and threw their spears at the humans while Azrael destroyed their souls and Abaddon summoned black flames enchanted with dark magic that destroyed everything alongside locusts that ate all of the crops. Volvox moved the humans around with his telekinesis and had them shield his army to prevent the humans from attacking and they attacked and killed them, the zombies bit and turned them, the skeletons slashed them with their swords, the mummies turned the humans into dust with their magic, the ghosts of other creatures absorbed and destroyed the human ghosts, the elves shot arrows into them, the fairies cast fire magic, the dwarfs attacked with their axes, the vampires sucked their bloods out, the werewolves, were-bears, were-lions, were-tigers, were-honey badgers, trolls, onikumas, mngwas, Nemean Lion, nandi bears, and Erymanthian Boar attacked with their claws, teeth, and tusks, the ghouls and wendigoes ripped the humans apart and ate them, the goblins, alps, and Dover Demon jumped on the humans and clawed them, and the cyclopes attacked them with wooden clubs. The humans tried to run away but Volvox used his telekinesis to move the Basilisk, his Cockatrice, Catoblepas, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa around, those who looked into Catoblepas', Stheno's, Euryale's, and Medusa's eyes' turned to stone while those who looked into the Basilisk's and his Cockatrice's eyes' dropped dead. The Mane Six got the Elements of Harmony while Star Swirl the Bearded, Flash Magnus, Mistmane, Mage Meadowbrook, Somnambula, and Rockhoof got their elements but Sun Wukong quickly swooped by and took them, they exclaimed and Rainbow Dash flew after him. She chased him through the sky and soon did a sonic rainboom, she flew after him but looked on in shock when she saw he was still faster than her, Sun Wukong's staff stretched out to massive lengths and he swung it around, Rainbow Dash dodged his attacks and the Sluagh swarmed her, "Get... off... of me!" Rainbow Dash fumed while she swatted them away, she continued chasing Sun Wukong and the ōkubis began blowing their breaths to knock her off course, she groaned while their breaths made her feel sick, she flew to them and punched them and then continued chasing Sun Wukong. She continued flying after him and harpies and Stymphalian birds arrived and began biting and pecking her, "Get off! Get off of me!" Rainbow Dash hollered as she punched them away, she continued going after Sun Wukong and Volvox's sirens flew to her and began singing, the male humans entered a trance while they tried to grab and restrain Rainbow Dash, she punched and kicked them away and kept flying. Swan maidens flew up next and they surrounded Rainbow Dash, they grabbed her and the changed to humans, they weighed her down and she threw them forward while Sun Wukong strafed and dodged them easily. Volvox's griffon, Volvox's hippogriff, and the Caucasian Eagle flew after her next and flew very fast, the hippogriff caught up to Rainbow Dash quickly and began pecking her with its beak and kicking her with its hind legs, the griffon caught up to her and grabbed her with its talons and began pecking her head with its beak, the Caucasian Eagle arrived and it began biting her, Rainbow Dash spun around and got them off of herself and continued pursuing Sun Wukong. She continued flying after him and she saw shadows engulf her, she looked up and back and saw the Kongamato, Volvox's Roc, and the Piasa flying to her, they flew to her and the Kongamato began trying to cut her with its talons and biting her while the Roc grabbed her with its talons and the Piasa held her with its talons and began biting her, Rainbow Dash screamed in pain and was unable to shake them off, Star Swirl the Bearded and Twilight Sparkle saw her slow down and shot beams at them to shoot them off, they then tried to get Sun Wukong but he was too fast. Rainbow Dash saw Sun Wukong turning and smiled at seeing a possible chance of catching him, she flew to him as fast as she could and saw he was close to her, she heard fire and electricity crackling from behind and a swirl of red fire and blue lightning surrounded her, she looked back and saw Phoenix and Thunderbird coming, she rolled around and continued chasing Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong noticed the unicorns and alicorns down below trying to cast spells on him but he moved too fast for them to focus on him, he extended his staff and tried to smack the people below him, they moved out of the way while he destroyed the ground, he looked back and saw Rainbow Dash was still chasing him with Phoenix and Thunderbird behind her, they shot fire and lightning at her and she continued rolling around and dodging them, the two birds stopped shooting from their mouths and began shooting fire and lightning from their wings, Rainbow Dash flew up higher and dodged them. Sun Wukong stretched his staff out and got ready to smack Rainbow Dash out of the air, she flew to the side and dodged it, he quickly rode on his nimbus cloud and continued trying to smack her away with his staff but she dodged each attack. She began to catching up to him and shrieked when cuts suddenly appeared on her, the tengus surrounded her and they began doing lightning fast slashes with their swords and cut her knees and wing joints, she screamed when she began to fall and Starlight Glimmer quickly cast a healing spell and she could fly again, she punched the tengus away but continued receiving painless cuts, Twilight Sparkle used his telekinesis and caught the kamaitachis that were riding on the winds and cutting Rainbow Dash with her sickles, she teleported them elsewhere. She continued pursuing Sun Wukong but exclaimed when the Gashadokuro suddenly emerged and roared, she covered her ears and it tried to swat her and bite her but she dodged it easily due to how slow it was, she went past it and Typhon emerged next. Rainbow Dash shrieked and Typhon quickly shot fire and venom out of his eyes' and mouths at her, she flew to her left and Ladon appeared, his hundred heads tried to eat her and she flew back, she saw Ziz up ahead, he flapped his wings and created very powerful gusts and Rainbow Dash quickly flew to her right and dodged them, she saw Sun Wukong up ahead and rammed him out of the sky. Rainbow Dash and Sun Wukong fell onto a mountain and Twilight Sparkle teleported herself, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack to their location, Sun Wukong swung and extended his staff and destroyed the world again, they dodged his attacks while Pinkie Pie tried to get the elements back and Sun Wukong rode away on his cloud, "Oh, no, ya don't." Applejack said while she spun her lasso and threw it around him, "Whoa!" Applejack exclaimed when she fell over and her lasso broke, Twilight Sparkle could not get a hold on Sun Wukong with her magic while Pinkie Pie tried to sneak and get the elements but could not, Sun Wukong laughed and stretched his staff out to attack the world's natives, Rainbow Dash flew while he was distracted and got the elements back, he looked on baffled while the ponies left. They arrived to the others and saw the humans trying to hide in the waters, they heard screaming and saw the humans in the waters get attacked, the kappas tore and ate them, the nure-onnas drained their blood with their tongues, the Ushi-oni breathed toxic breath and ate the humans, the ningyos ate any human they encountered in the water, Volvox's Bunyip ate any human near it, the Thetis Lake Monster slashed the humans with its claws and bit into them with its fangs, the Nuckelavee picked up and carried humans into the waters while its breath killed crops and made others sick, the Kelpie grabbed people with its mouth and put them on its back, they got stuck and it went into the water and drowned them, and Scylla grabbed the humans with her six mouths and ate them with three of her heads while the other three threw them into Charybdis and she sucked them in. Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Star Swirl the Bearded, Flash Magnus, Mistmane, Mage Meadowbrook, Somnambula, and Rockhoof got ready to use their elements but they exclaimed when projectiles went past them, they looked at one of the water bodies and saw mermen, mermaids, and ningens throwing tridents at them, the unicorns held them with their telekinesis and shot the tridents back, Foras' invincibility spell protected them from harm. The Mane Six and Pillars floated up into the sky and shot a big rainbow blast throughout the world, the invisibility spells, Foras' invincibility spell, and Alloces' immortality spell became undone and the unicorns stopped casting spells to make the invaders visible. Volvox sent the Nemean Lion, Catoblepas and the Stymphalian birds to fight the humans and none of their weapons could damage their bodies, the unicorns and kirins cast magic on them and changed them to regular animals, Volvox quickly moved them away with his telekinesis. Boogeyman and the Popobawa changed into various monsters but the unicorns changed them around, they turned into ghosts and they realized their magic could no longer affect them, they began possessing the humans and made them attack the others while jumping from host to host, Volvox and his army saw the humans were close to extinction and one group sat on their knees' while a man waved a white flag, "Please, no more, we surrender." the man said while he waved the white flag, Volvox shot hellfire blasts out of his three mouths and obliterated the group, they screamed while the world's natives gasped in horror, "Withdraw for now." Volvox ordered, and all of them went under the ground. Twilight Sparkle looked and saw only a few humans remained, they grieved their loved ones while she and the world's natives looked for survivors, they heard a scream and looked, "No!" Ocellus exclaimed, they looked and saw the body of Pharynx alongside several changelings, they kept searching and also found the bodies of DJ Pon-3, Octavia, Photo Finish, Daisy, Lily Valley, Spitfire, Garble, Gilda, Gabby, Skybeak, Ocean Flow, Terramar, General Seaspray, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, and Rain Shine, "*scream* NO!! Mom! Dad! Little brother! Cousin! Auntie! General!" Silverstream hollered, and she held them and cried, the others went over and grieved while Discord and the dragons and Gallus just stood back and watched, "Wow, we don't cry over lost ones in Griffonstone." Gallus stated, "Neither do dragons, we considered grieving to be for the weak." Smolder replied, "You going to miss your brother?" Gallus asked, "Yeah, but I'm not crying because it is how us dragons are raised." Smolder explained, and they continued watching the others grieve while Princess Ember began to lose her patience on how long the ponies grieved, "Come on already! We have to fortify and get ready for the next attack!" Princess Ember vented, "We're not ready yet!" Pinkie Pie fumed, "It doesn't matter if you're ready or not! We got work to do whehter you like it or not!" Princess Ember countered, Pinkie Pie growled, "I'll go ahead and help." Rainbow Dash said, "No, I wanna do a group grieving event." Pinkie Pie stated, "Now ain't the time, Pinkie, we have to get ready." Applejack replied, Pinkie Pie looked down and everybody began working. Volvox and his army were underground and watching the world, "Why didn't you all mention those rainbow beams that disabled some of our spells?" Volvox inquired, "It didn't appear in our visions." Marchosias explained, "Yes, it looks like this world might have artifacts that are immune to being seen by our future visions." Vual added, "Do we continue as planned, Volvox?" an incubus asked, "There will be a slight change of plans, I will send those who have hides and bodies that are immune to the humans' weapons from now on, although it might be risky since the gods, angels, fallen angels, and demons do not obey me and Typhon's children only listen to Typhon." Volvox responded, "To be honest with you, Volvox, we follow your orders for now since your suggestions have actually been pretty effective, we would disobey completely if you proved to be a poor planner and unable to fight." Odin remarked, "What do we do after we conquer and destroy this land, master?" a Valkyrie asked, "Same as before, we train and try to get stronger." Odin replied, "Don't forget that orange horse with the red hair is from another world full of humans, we destroy that place after we're done with this world." Huitzilopochtli reminded, "I have looked into that world, there are almost no magic users in that world, it's much weaker and less prepared to deal with a threat like us, that world has human counterparts of this world's natives, destroying them will be easy compared to here." Paimon remarked, "How do we enter that world?" Dommiel asked, "The Outer Gods will be here soon, they will open portals to that world for us to enter." Barbatos answered, "Good, it looked like some kind of mirror was used to bring that oragne horse into this world, it's too small for almost all of us to fit through." Tom said, "We'll worry about it later, right now, we need to find a way to restore Foras' magic since those gems and the pink horse and her family managed to bypass it, let's rest for now as well." Volvox said, "What are the natives doing right now?" Beelzebub questioned, "Three enemies should be being freed from stone right now." Vual responded, and all of them rested. The world's natives and humans rebuilt and fortified the world while Doctor Whooves messed with his time machine, "What is it, Doctor?" Derpy asked, "I'm not sure if I should continue to build this time machine or not, considering our enemies have members who can see future events, they likely already know about it." Doctor Whooves answered, "I suggest you destroy it so they can't use it." Tempest Shadow stated, "Agreed, it risks bringing our enemies' creatures here, too." Grubber added, "Do you all have any spells that can hide the machine from future seers?" Doctor Whooves requested, "Well, we can try, but it's probably too late now." Princess Luna warned, "I think we should, I plan to hide it." Doctor Whooves said, "Good idea, we can use it as a last resort if things get worse." Princess Celestia replied, and the alicorns cast a spell on it, "Let's go ahead and put it in my realm." Discord remarked, "Hold on, how do we know you're not planning to keep it to yourself?" Starlight Glimmer questioned, "I have changed, I truly have, and I promise, if it's required, I'll transfer you all to my realm." Discord reassured, "Okay, but you better keep it." Doctor Whooves said, and his time machine was put into Discord's realm, "We're getting short on people who can fight, I hate to suggest this, but we might have to free Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow to help us." Shining Armor stated, the others looked at him with disbelief, "Darling, you can't be serious." Princess Cadance said, "I know it's something none of you want, but at this rate, we will lose, we can use any help we can get." Shining Armor remarked, "Things are getting desperate, maybe we can use some kind of restraining spell on them so they don't try anything." Sunburst suggested, "I agree, we should put power limiters on them, no doubt they will try to betray and destroy us." Star Swirl the Bearded added, "Well, it's a risky move, but I think they would rather have a land to conquer and rule than have it all destroyed and all of us extinct, I guess we can free them, but restrain them and keep an eye on them at all times." Princess Celestia ordered, the others agreed, "Well, let's go ahead and free them, though I bet they're going to attack us in a fit of rage when we free them for putting them in stone." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "No worries, Twilight, they are unconscious and unaware of their surroundings in the stone, they won't remember any of it when freed." Princess Luna responded, "Oh, I see, let's go ahead and free them." Twilight Sparkle said, and they went. The world's natives and humans arrived at the statues of Queen Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow, "This is them?" a human woman asked, "That small horse with wings there looks harmless." a male human remarked, "That's Cozy Glow, don't be fooled by her looks and name, she's actually a very skilled manipulator." Twilight Sparkle warned, "It looks like that creature there who looks a bit like the kelpie is the strongest among them." a second male human stated, "That's Queen Chrysalis, she's the former ruler of the changelings, she's a shapeshifter, too, and that last guy is Tirek, he's depowered right now, he looks completely different when he absorbs magic, and when he does, he's easily the strongest of the three." Twilight Sparkle explained, "Does everyone have their spells ready?" Princess Celestia asked, the unicorns' horns had magic auras of various colors around them, she, Princess Luna, and Discord then shot beams out and freed them. Queen Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow groaned, "What happened?" Cozy Glow asked, "Strange, all I remember if we were going to take over Equestria and the world with Discord's magic, but we lost and got depowered, I don't remember what happened after that." Queen Chrysalis stated, "Well, we're free now, I guess we should power up and try again." Tirek suggested, magic chains appeared around them and they exclaimed, "I am going to make myself very clear, you three were only released because our world is threatened by a huge army of invaders made up of many different creatures with many different powers, almost every native of this world has fallen and you three have been released in a desperate move to stop the invaders and save this world from destruction and extinction." Princess Celestia explained, "What? Why exactly would I team up with you and your subjects?" Queen Chrysalis inquired, "Because you'll have a better chance of surviving against the invaders than on your own." Princess Luna remarked, "What invaders? I do not see any." Tirek commented, "But the world sure is different from what I remember." Cozy Glow replied, Queen Chrysalis and Tirek looked around and saw the changed world, "I added some touches of my own to improve it after near total destruction." Discord explained, "You! You traitor!" Queen Chrysalis fumed as she tried to lunge and attack him but the chains restrained her, "You three will be restrained and watched at all times while you are out of stone, we didn't wish to do this, but this entire world risks total destruction and extinction at the moment." Princess Celestia explained, Queen Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow growled, "We will empower you all when the next attack starts, but you three better not try anythng funny." Princess Luna warned, Queen Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow grumbled, Igneous Rock Pie, Cloudy Quartz, Limestone Pie, Maud Pie, Pinkie Pie, and Marble Pie watched them while the others fortified the world. Volvox and his army were watching the world while recovering, "We should've destroyed the statues of those three earlier." Dommiel remarked, "No worries, they're still depowered, they won't stand a chance against us at this rate." Volvox stated, "We still must plan something with Discord, it seems our powers are immune on him." Paimon said, "Azathoth and his gods will be coming here during our next attack, hopefully, he will be strong enough to take him out." Barbatos replied, "That reminds me, if it's required, I would like all of the archangels, princes of Hell, and gods to work with me and fuse our attacks together into one attack if that is what is required to destroy him." Volvox said, "I think just me and Azathoth combining our powers will be enough." Typhon remarked, "I'd rather not take any chances." Volvox responded, "Neither will the Maker, should we fail one way or another, it will attack this world itself." Michael stated, "Let us get ready to attack tonight, let's hope our next attack will end this world." Volvox said, and everybody got ready to attack again. The Mane Six, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and the Pillars went to go visit the Tree of Harmony, "You think the Elements of Harmony might work again?" Mistmane asked, "We haven't tried, but considering your and our elements shot out a rainbow blast on the last fight, and the tree is bigger than before, I think they will." Rainbow Dash stated, "But remember what the humans said, the Princes have seven elements: pride, envy, greed, gluttony, sloth, lust, and wrath, we're one short if we just use our group's Elements of Harmony, there's no tellin' how strong they are, either." Applejack reminded, "You all got me, I represent the element of empathy, the Pillars are here, too, so we have a total of thirteen elements." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Remember, that eight headed creature, Orochi, was said to be eight elements himself: fire, water, earth, wind, lightning, wood, metal, and void, whatever that is, they still have more than us combined." Flash Magnus said, "Can you humans come here for a minute?" Sunset Shimmer requested, and they did, "Are there anymore of these elements our enemies have?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Well, only Orochi has weapons, we're not sure if the seven archangels represent anything or not." a male human answered, "This may be the first time ever in history where we have to combine the Elements of Harmony, Tree of Harmony, Rainbow Power, Pillar elements, alicorn magic, and Discord's magic together." Star Swirl the Bearded stated, "Anything to stop the invaders." Starlight Glimmer responded, "Alright, go ahead and take your element gems." Star Swirl the Bearded said, the Mane Six did and they left the place. Tirek tried absorbing magic from others far away while Queen Chrysalis tried absorbing love from the other countries around her, "Guys, those two are acting a bit funny." Autumn Blaze reported, everybody looked at them and saw what they were trying to do, "I'm not surprised, the Royal Sisters will likely empower them when our invaders attack us next time." King Thorax said, "Thorax, you traitor! I ought to have your head! You will be punished severely for betraying your queen!" Queen Chrysalis thundered, and she tried absorbing love from the people nearby, "What is she doing?" a male human asked, "She absorbs and takes love from others to empower herself." Ocellus explained, "So she's like a succubus." a second male human remarked, "A succubus?! How dare you refer to me as such! I am a changeling!" Queen Chrysalis fumed, "So this is your former ruler?" a female human asked, "Yes, we overthrew her after we discovered she was starving us on purpose." King Thorax explained, "What happened afterwards?" the woman questioned, "She ran away after the ponies here offered her friendship and she rejected it, and she was living in exile until she reemerged with those two one day." a male changeling answered, "Exiled? Lucky her, Volvox and his subjects would've killed her if they were the ones who overthrew her." a second female human commented, Queen Chrysalis reeled back in horror, "Volvox? Is that the invader's name?" Tirek asked, "There are many invaders, Volvox is the leader of them all." the first man replied, "Still, a bit strange, in my world, one of the microscopic organisms is called a volvox." Sunset Shimmer commented, "Could it be named after him?" the second man asked, "I doubt it, I never saw any creature like him in my world." Sunset Shimmer replied, "So, what am I supposed to do, I can't fight, I'm just a filly." Cozy Glow said, "Well, maybe you can try to convince and persuade Volvox to make a truce with us." Sweetie Belle suggested, "No, we already tried that before we came here, Volvox and his army killed the messengers." a third male human said, "Well, I'm not surprised, you all look weak when compared to us." Queen Chrysalis remarked, "Well, there's no point in sittin' here and just talkin', we gotta fortify so we can survive." Apple Bloom said, "Yeah, we got harvests and crops to tend to, too." Scootaloo added, and they got back to work. Twilight Sparkle and the others came back and everybody worked together to rebuild, grow and harvest food, and watched Queen Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow. Volvox and his army were watching the world's natives and humans and saw them getting tired and they got ready to sleep, "Get ready, everyone, let's see if we can wipe them all out this time." Volvox said, and they got ready to attack. Everybody stayed awake and kept their guards up while sleeping lightly, Tempest Shadow stayed the most alert and patrolled everything, she noticed the nymphs coming, "Everybody, to arms, they're here!" Tempest Shadow announced, and everybody stood up. The nymphs began using powers to control the land, the oreads made mountains and grottoes appear, the naiads shot and controlled water from rivers, springs, and waterfalls, the nereids and oceanids controlled water from the sea, the alseids controlled the plants in glens and groves, the auloniads controlled the plants in mountain pastures and vales, the leimakids controlled the plants in meadows, the napaeas controlled everything in wooden valleys, the anthousais controlled all of the world's flowers and pollen, the dryads made trees appear and controlled them, the hamadryads made their specific trees appear in certain areas to block others and smash them, the hyleorois controlled all of the plants and trees in the world's various woods', and Nephele floated through the air and various clouds appeared and covered the world in storms and hail while she teleported around from cloud to cloud. The world's natives struggled against the nymphs' various powers being used at once and Discord used his powers to change the land around and cancel out their powers, strong winds blew Nephele's storms and hail everywhere while lightning appeared everywhere, everybody looked and saw Fujin and Raijin in the sky, they used their powers to create a storm around the world and Princess Celestia and Princess Luna used their magic to reduce it. Shining Armor, Princess Cadance, and Flurry Heart put up shields while Tirek saw the various monsters appearing and depowered them by absorbing their magic into himself, he became full power and began fighting while Queen Chrysalis shot blasts out and Cozy Glow hid and cowered. The humans tried fighting the creatures and managed to take down several of the prehistoric fauna while the orcs, dwarfs, were-beasts, trolls, ogres, and onis overpowered them, the mu-onnas' bodies opened down the center and they smashed humans between their two halves while fusing back together, the Hone-onna grabbed men forcefully and kissed them to suck their life forces out, Volvox's Manticore stayed a safe distance away from everyone and shot poisonous darts out of its tail in all directions, the Jersey Devil flew around and slashed and bit any human it came across, the Chupacabra ran at blinding speeds and bit the humans and drank their blood, the namahages slashed people apart with their giant cleavers, the Tsuchinoko jumped and rolled around and bit its venomous fangs into any humans it passed by, and Onihitokuchi picked up and ate people. The centuars tried to fight Tirek but he overpowered them with his strength easily, they began shooting arrows at him but he shot blasts from his hands and between his horns and obliterated them, the satyrs played reed flutes and controlled nature with them magically, they tried to restrain him and Queen Chrysalis but they broke out easily and Queen Chrysalis absorbed love out of them and shot zaps at them, she then absorbed love out of the incubi and succubi and weakened them. The draugr tried attacking everybody but Tirek absorbed their magic and depowered them, he then absorbed magic out of the zombies, mummies, skeletons, angels, fallen angels, demons, kitsunes, tanukis, bakenekoes, nekomatas, and mujinas, he then shot more fire out and destroyed them except for the angels, fallen angels, and demons. Tirek and Queen Chrysalis heard very quiet rustling and listened, the sounds got softer while they thought the creatures were farther away, they then got bitten by wakwaks alongside Cozy Glow, Cozy Glow screamed while Tirek swatted them away and Queen Chrysalis shot zaps at them, "You dare use such dirty tricks on me?! I will not be taken down by cheap shots!" Queen Chrysalis hollered, the ekeks then ganged up on her and tried to drink her blood, she transformed into a big dragon and smashed them, she then reverted back. The humans heard a peaceful river stream nearby and saw it, it looked peaceful and okay to hide for a short time, some of them ran into it and nothing happened, they heard the Azukiarai laugh and the waters got violent, Scylla grabbed the remaining humans and threw them into the water, they tried to get out but the Mongolian Death Worm slithered on the ground and shot an electrical shock into the water, it electrified the water and paralyzed the humans. Volvox moved the Bake-kujira, Isonade, and Morgawr into the waters and they began eating the humans. The hippogriffs flew to get the humans and Volvox used his telekinesis to put more of his creatures in the nearby waters, the Loch Ness Monster, Issie, and Mizuchi tried to eat them while the umi-bōzus tried to either grab the hippogriffs or slam them into the ground, some hippogriffs got hit while others flew past them, Ikuchi rose out of one water body and used its very long body to entangle the humans and hippogriffs. Daring Do ran to go help them and got attacked by the yadōkais, they said incantations that caused fire to float around them and they homed on Daring Do, "What the? Are they... monks?" Daring Do asked, the flames homed on her and the yadōkais floated to her while also appearing and disappearing at random, she jumped around and dodged the fire while an illusion was cast and she was stuck in the middle of a forest. The yadōkais began attacking her with their staffs and she blocked, parried, dodged, and redirected each attack, the floating flames touched and burned her and Daring Do screamed, she heard voices in the flames and realized they were spirits, she saw the yadōkais were about to attack her again and she quickly punched and kicked them away. The illusion did not go down and she realized there were more monsters waiting for her, "Come out! I know you're there!" Daring Do ordered, a tsuchigumo's legs burst out of the ground and grabbed her, she grunted loudly while it emerged from the ground and she looked on in shock at its size, twenty nine more tsuchigumos came out of the ground and crawled to her. Daring Do looked at them carefully and deduced they behave like regular spiders, the nearest tsuchogumo tried to bite her with its fangs and she ran under it, four nearby tsuchigumos began shooting web at her and she jumped around and made them shoot webs at one another, they got tangled by they stretched their legs out and broke out of them. Daring Do wondered about something while the tsuchigumos ran after her, she waited for one to lower its head and she jumped on it hard, it got stunned but it did not undo the illusion, she jumped around and slammed her hoofs on the other twenty nine tsuchigumos and the illusion disappeared after she hit the last one, Daring Do smiled and ran forward. She ran to where the hippogriffs and humans were and saw the Pegasi have arrived to help and they had trouble, she ran but stopped when the Jorōgumo and her spiders crawled to her, "Ugh, more spiders?" Daring Do exclaimed, the Jorōgumo's spiders began breathing fire and she jumped back, she looked at the water bodies past her and ran to one. The Jorōgumo shot webs out of her wrists and Daring Do jumped forward while the webs entangled four tsuchigumos and they could not break out of it, Daring Do picked up a rock and threw it at the Jorōgumo, she ducked and dodged it while Daring Do threw more rocks at her and hid in the woods. The Jorōgumo's spiders breathed fire and began burning them down, they could not find Daring Do, she jumped from a tree and landed on one spider and squashed it, she then jumped and squashed the other five spiders. The Jorōgumo threw her dead spiders away and she got on all fours, her lower-body transformed into a spider's body while Daring Do looked on in shock, the Jorōgumo crawled to her while her legs slashed the trees open and she shot webs out of her mouth and abdomen. Daring Do ran and jumped and laid on her abdomen to dodge the webs and the Jorōgumo proceeded to crawl forward and tried to trample her, she quickly got up and ran, she jumped onto a tree branch and the Jorōgumo cut it down with her leg, Daring Do jumped to another tree and the Jorōgumo cut it down, she quickly jumped down and pushed it in a different direction and made it fall on the Jorōgumo, she got squashed and Daring Do ran forward. Daring Do arrived at where the humans, Pegasi, and hippogriffs were and saw the Lambton Worm coming to her, it turned around and swung a tree with its tail like a club, Daring Do ran away and the Lambton Worm chased her, she ran but shrieked and stepped back when electrical zaps came out of the ground and the Mongolian Death Worm came out. Daring Do looked back and forth fearfully while the two worms closed in on her, the Mongolian Death Worm shot venom out of its mouth and she quickly ran to the side and the Lambton Worm slid to in front of her to block her path, she jumped on its body and went past it, the Lambton Worm tried to smash her with the tree held by its tail and she exclaimed while jumping forward to dodge the attacks. She heard the Mongolian Death Worm coming and saw every grass, flower, and plant that touched it wither and die, "its body must be poisonous to touch." Daring Do deduced, the Mongolian Death Worm then shot more lightning zaps and venom out of its mouth, she got an idea and ran to the Lambton Worm, she jumped over it and the Mongolian Death Worm's venom and zaps hit it, it got paralyzed for a second and continued moving again, "What?" Daring Do asked, the Pegasi and hippogriffs picked up and threw rocks at it and cut the Lambton Worm but its wounds healed immediately, "Regeneration?" Daring Do commented while the Pegasi and hippogriffs had shocked expressions. Daring Do ran and looked for something she could use to help, the Laestrygonians emerged from the big water bodies and tried to grab and eat her, "Wait, that gives me an idea." Daring Do said, and she waited for the two worms to come while avoiding the Laestrygonians, the two worms arrived and the Laestrygonians grabbed and held them while Daring Do jumped around and dodged them, she ran past them and to the humans. She carried some of the humans and helped the Pegasi and hippogriffs carry them, they worked together and carried them back to the others. The world's natives struggled to fight off their attackers while they destroyed everything, the Penanggalan, Aswang, Manananggal, Mothman, and Owlman flew around and attacked everybody, Nue summoned lightning and a storm, Spring-heeled Jack jumped around and slashed people with his claws, Balor and the Formorians attacked everyone with various weapons, the Satori read minds to predict the next attacks while overpowering his attackers with his raw strength, Goatman slashed everyone with his axe, and Lou Carcolh grabbed the world's natives and humans with its tentacles and ate them. Aim, Furcas, and Amy made the world's natives' forts and buildings catch on fire while Tarasque set anything its feet touched on fire, the onibis, tenkas, and will-o'-the-wisps floated around and anything they touched caught on fire, the kechibis floated everywhere and shot fireballs out of their mouths, Rōjinbi ran around and set everything in his path on fire, Typhon's Chimera, the Colchian Dragon, and Wanyūdō breathed fire everywhere, and Enenra floated around and suffocated the humans with its smoke. Autumn Blaze changed to her nirik form and became immune to the enemies' fires, she threw the invaders' around with her telekinesis and kicked the smaller ones away, Volvox shot his hellfire blasts at her from under the ground and it had very little effect on her, the yuki-onnas floated to her and breathed their ice breaths on her, Autumn Blaze screamed while her flames got extinguished and began to freeze her. The Ōmukade and Grootslang constricted around the dragons and tried to entangle them, Dragon Lord Torch grunted loudly while he picked them up and threw them away, they stood back up and began coming back, Tirek absorbed the Grootslang's magic while Queen Chrysalis shot blasts at the Ōmukade and made it fall over. Volvox's Minotaur wrestled with Princess Ember and she struggled to break free from its enourmous strength while her armor and scales protected her from his claws, she grunted while she tried to throw it off but could not, Dragon Lord Torch grabbed Volvox's Minotaur's head and threw him far away, Princess Ember panted heavily and brushed herself off and continued fighting. Everybody continued struggling and big explosions suddenly appeared, everybody looked and saw Tirek fighting Yamata-no-Orochi, its eight heads shot out a different element, one head shot out fire, one shot water, one shot rocks, one shot wind gusts, one shot lightning bolts, one shot wooden shards, one shot metal shards, and one shot a light blue stream with screaming souls in it, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna flew over to go fight it while Tirek held his own against it. They cast the same elements as Orochi to counter and cancel its attacks, Princess Celestia canceled Orochi's fire with water, water with fire, earth with wind, and wind with earth, Princess Luna canceled Orochi's lightning by putting up a rubber shield, wood with fire, and metal with stronger fire, they realized they did not have an element to counter and cancel void, Orochi's last head shot spiritual blasts everywhere and it destroyed the land, those who got killed were absorbed into it while the Pixiu either controlled or destroyed some of the dead souls and shot gold, silver, and jewels that cut and pelted the humans and world's natives. Tirek tried absorbing Orochi's magic and realized it had too much for him to handle, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna shot non-elemental blasts at Orochi and they got into a deadlock with his eight elemental breaths, Tirek shot a blast from between his horns and another from his hands and Orochi screeched while it fell over. Tirek laughed and a hundred fire and venom blasts were shot at him, he screamed and then felt very powerful wind gusts and earthquakes happening, he growled and looked forward but looked in horror and froze in fear when he saw Typhon in front of him, "Wow, even Tirek is scared of Typhon." Spike remarked, everybody saw Queen Chrysalis looking at Typhon with fear and horror as well and her legs were shaking, Typhon caused volcanic eruptions, wind gusts, and earthquakes to appear everywhere while also shooting fire and venom out of his mouths and smashing anyone nearby with his hands and feet. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna had big auras on their horns appear and the sun and moon glowed brightly, they then transformed into Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker, Daybreaker shot orange fire out of her horn while also shooting orange fire blasts out of the sun and Nightmare Moon shot a light blue blast out of her horn alongside yellow fire from the moon while also summoning lightning, all of them hit Typhon but went up in smoke while he did not react, "What?! Tis impossible!" Nightmare Moon hollered, he punched Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker and they screamed while they fell onto the ground. They got back up and shot blasts at him alongside Tirek, he gathered them into a ball between his hands and threw it back, everybody moved away and the ball of magic destroyed much of the land. Discord and Queen Chrysalis went over to help and Discord tried using his chaos magic to fool Typhon while Queen Chrysalis transformed into a bugbear, Typhon snickered and smashed Queen Chrysalis with his hand, he heard her transforming and quickly moved his hand away, Tirek shot two blasts at him and they went up in smoke when they touched his body. The Pillars went over to help and Star Swirl the Bearded tried casting magic shields on him while Stygian transformed into the Pony of Shadows, he shot black blasts out of his horn at him and Typhon caused earthquakes that made the land creatures fall while the flying creatures flew, the dragons breathed fire at Typhon while Twilight Sparkle, Princess Cadance, and Flurry Heart shot big blasts at him, Shining Armor, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer stood up and shot blasts out of their horns while Sunset Shimmer shot fire. Typhon summoned wind gusts to blow the fire back and everybody screamed while running away, Daybreaker, Nightmare Moon, Princess Cadance, Twilight Sparkle, Flurry Heart, Shining Armor, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Trixie, Star Swirl the Bearded, Mistmane, Discord, Queen Chrysalis, Tirek, and the Pony of Shadows shot blasts at Typhon together and it still had no effect on him, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Spike, Smolder, and the other dragons then shot fire breaths at him and he was still unharmed, Typhon snickered until Igneous Rock Pie, Cloudy Quartz, Limestone Pie, Maud Pie, Pinkie Pie, Marble Pie, and Rockhoof combined their strengths together and threw a mountain on him. Everybody smiled until Typhon stood up and threw the mountain into the sky, everybody looked on in disbelief while others screamed while the mountain fell, Tempest Shadow jumped forward and barely dodged it while Grubber and the Storm Guards got squashed by it, "GRUBBER!!" Tempest Shadow yelled, there was no response, she looked down while everybody else continued fighting Typhon. Flash Magnus, Rainbow Dash, and the Wonderbolts led the Pegasi in an attack formation against Typhon but the Ittan-momen flew forward and wrapped the Pegasi in its cloth body, they let out muffled grunts and struggled to break free, Princess Ember and the smaller dragons breathed fire on it, the Ittan-momen quickly flew away and burned to ashes. Typhon's Sphinx flew forward next and she began biting and clawing the Pegasi, dragons, changelings, and hippogriffs while also biting with her serpent tail and injecting them with paralyzing venom, the humans shot fire arrows at her and Typhon's Sphinx quickly flew away while the dragons breathed fire at her. The Raijū summoned lightning and shot it at the others, the Pegasi flew with clouds and absorbed it, Tirek absorbed its magic and depowered it. Everybody arrived at Typhon and he shot them away with powerful wind gusts and everybody exclaimed, the Kraken emerged from the waters and tried to attack the flying creatures with its tentacles, they flew around it and went to Typhon, the Pegasi pressed on clouds to shoot lightning zaps at him but it did no harm. The Bakunawa flew through the sky and blocked the sun while causing a downpour, earthquakes, and tornadoes, everybody screamed while Daybreaker laughed and used her magic to heat up the sun, she shot a blast out of it and set the Bakunawa on fire, it panicked and slithered away. Talos and Behemoth emerged out of the ground and attacked the flying creatures, Behemoth swatted them out of the sky while Talos grabbed and held them in one hand and swung a sword in his other hand at the other creatures and they flew back while shrieking, "Hey! A little help here?!" Twilight Sparkle requested, her jaw dropped when she saw the others on the land fighting their own enemies, White Rider shot arrows everywhere at a rapid rate, Red Rider slashed people with his sword, Black Rider made crops wither and die with his scales while trampling people with his horse, Pale Rider slashed people with his scythe and stole their souls, the Headless Horseman attacked people with his axe and trampled them with his horse, and Dullahan destroyed everything and attacked people with his sword and ran over others with his horse. The humans tried to fight off Typhon's Hydra but it grew two new heads every time one head was cut off, its center head breathed fire while its other eight heads breathed toxic gas, Typhon's Orthrus bit down on the humans' weapons and broke them while breathing fire out of its two mouths and its serpent tail bit people and injected them with venom, Typhon's Cerberus bit down on the humans while also breathing fire out of its three mouths, melted stuff with its acidic saliva, and the serpents on its necks and the serpent for its tail bit people and injected venom into them, and the Azhi Dahaka ate its enemies while those who managed to cut it made venomous snakes, spiders, scorpions and lizards fall out of its body and attacked everybody. Everybody struggled and the ground burst open and the rest of the invaders appeared, Queen Chrysalis looked on in horror at Volvox's appearance while the creatures began attacking immediately. The humans and world's natives on land got attacked by many more creatures, Agares', Vassago's, and Sallos' crocodiles ate people while Agares' and Vassago's hawks kicked them. Samigina trampled people, Marbas and Valefor hunted, slashed, and bit the humans, Barbatos shot people with his rifle, Sitri flew around and slashed people with his claws. Beleth, Eligos, Bathin, Berith, Sabnock, Vine, Furcas, Alloces, Orias, and Kimaris trampled the humans with their horses. Leraje and Kimaris shot arrows with their bows and Leraje infected the humans with gangrene. Eligos attacked with his lance, Botis constricted the world's natives with his body, Bathin punched the humans and hit them with his tail. Purson's and Balam's bears mauled the world's natives. Morax rammed people with his horns, Aim's snake swallowed people whole, Glasya-Labolas flew around and bit the flying creatures, Astaroth's mount ate people while his snake bit people, Forneus ate the humans, Foras punched and kicked people.

Volvox and his army began attacking the entire world and the Pie family used their powers to take down the creatures while Tirek absorbed magic out of them and depowered some of Volvox's creatures, but he was unable to drain magic out of the angels, fallen angels, demons, and gods. Giovi teleported around while using his shadow magic to make the shadows of the world's natives and humans attack them, he also swung the blades on his hands around and sent out light red magic lines that cut anything they touched. Tom flew forward and led the creatures while he shot fire and lightning out of his mouth while flapping his wings to create powerful wind gusts that destroyed property, Volvox and Dommiel provided cover fire from behind him with Dommiel shooting shadow blasts and Volvox shooting hellfire blasts. Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker combined their magic together and destroyed much of the world while Sunset Shimmer watched in shock, "Princess Celestia is capable of this much destruction?" Sunset Shimmer exclaimed, Daybreaker laughed very loudly, "Bow before me! I am the most powerful being in the universe! Those who do not will fall!" Daybreaker declared, Sunset Shimmer watched with discomfort while she set the world on fire. The humans screamed as they got destroyed and some of the Pixiu absorbed and destroyed their souls, the ponies watched in shock and Volvox shot hellfire blasts at them while they were distracted, they quickly regained their senses and the unicorns put up shields to block it. Tirek continued depowering Volvox's magical creatures and shot big blasts that destroyed some of them and Queen Chrysalis shot big blasts at the prehistoric fauna and reduced them to ashes, white lightning appeared in the sky and the sky distorted, "What's goin' on?" Applejack asked, "Something's coming into our world." Doctor Whooves replied, a white flash appeared and Azathoth, Cxaxukluth, Daoloth, Ghroth, Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, Tulzscha, Yibb-Tstll, and Yog-Sothoth appeared. The humans and world's natives screamed in horror at their appearances, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. It's the Outer Gods!" a man exclaimed, "What do we do?! We never fought them before! We don't know what they're capable of!" a woman hollered, "About time you nine got here." Volvox remarked, "Sorry for the wait, let's wipe out these humans." Azathoth replied, and they attacked. Azathoth began moving around and his appearance was always changing and blurry, the world suddenly began disappearing alongside some of the natives and humans while he also erased their souls from existence, everybody looked on in horror, "What power!" Nightmare Moon exclaimed, "Oh, I don't think I can stand up to that." Discord commented, Azathoth tried to erase Discord from existence but he used his own magic to counter and avoid him. Cxaxukluth divided into a male half and a female half and they began eating the humans and world's natives, Daoloth grew bigger and shot psychic circles out of his brain, the humans became insane and began destroying themselves, "No! Stop!" Twilight Sparkle ordred as she tried to undo his powers, Ghroth opened its eye and volcanoes erupted, tidal waves, earthquakes, changing tides, and storms began as well, Nyarlathotep contacted the humans telepathically and drove them insane while making avatars of various appearances and powers of himself appear to attack the world, Shub-Niggurath laughed while she made monsters appear to attack, "Foolish mortals, you are powerless against us Outer Gods." Shub-Niggurath said while she made more monsters appear, Tulzscha burrowed itself into the world and then erupted out of the ground and its green fire spewed everywhere that began to make the world colder and the humans got sick, Yibb-Tstll had bat-like monsters fly off of her body and attack the humans and world's natives while black snowflakes came off of her and that stuck to the humans and world's natives and suffocated them, and Yog-Sothoth made avatars of himself that had various appearances and powers attack the humans and world's natives while he looked into the past, present, and future of all of existence. The humans and world's natives looked on in disbelief at how powerful the Outer Gods were while Azathoth continued erasing them from existence, Volvox shot red lightning out of his tail's tip to paralyze the humans and Azathoth erased them, everybody screamed and ran and flew away and Volvox threw the yellow seven-pointed organic stars on his spine around, they bounced off of surfaces and cut whatever they touched, the humans fell one by one and Hades, Osiris, Anubis, and the Pixiu destroyed their souls, "The humans, they're all gone." Tempest Shadow said, "No." Rainbow Dash stated, "We failed." Fluttershy lamented, "No, we still have to stop them, if we don't, the humans in my world are next." Sunset Shimmer stated, "Come on, everybody, we have no choice, we have to combine all of our defenses together." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they got ready to attack together. Daybreaker, Nightmare Moon, Princess Cadance, Flurry Heart, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Sunset Shimmer, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, Silverstream, Star Swirl the Bearded, Flash Magnus, Mage Meadowbrook, Mistmane, Somnambula, and Rockhoof all floated up into the air and combined their elements and alicorn powers together and shot a big blast out while Shining Armor, Starlight Glimmer, Discord, Queen Chrysalis, Tirek, and the Pony of Shadows shot their own blasts out from the ground and combined it with theirs. Their blast flew to their enemies but they exclaimed and almost got pushed back when a big blast hit theirs and almost shot them back, they looked and saw Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Selaphiel, Jegudiel, Barachiel, Azrael, Abaddon, Lucifer, Leviathan, Mammon, Beelzebub, Belphegor, Asmodeus, Satan, Zeus, Poseidon, Amphitrite, Hades, Persephone, Artemis, Typhon, Osiris, Amun, Ra, Khonshu, Anubis, Apep, Set, Odin, Thor, Vishnu, Bishamonten, Huitzilopochtli, Pazuzu, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Fujin, Raijin, Sun Wukong, Azathoth, Cxaxukluth, Daoloth, Ghroth, Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, Tulzscha, Yibb-Tstll, and Yog-Sothoth have combined their powers together to make a big blast of their own. The deadlock between the two blasts created a shockwave that hit the entire world and a huge earthquake that shook the entire world began. The world's natives struggled to repel the invaders' blast and the other unicorns joined in while the other invaders attacked those not shooting the blast. Volvox and the others began to push the world's natives' blasts back and Tempest Shadow tried kicking obsidian orbs to them, Volvox's other creatures stood in front of them to block it and they turned to stone, the earthquake began splitting the world into pieces and the dragons began breathing fire into the world's natives' blast in hopes of strengthening it, the Tree of Harmony sparkled and shot a blast out and it joined with the others. They struggled to repel the invaders' blast and they began to get tired, the invaders' blast went to them and they screamed when they got hit. The impact of the blast obliterated the world while the unicorns and alicorns quickly put up shields while the invaders went underground, the blast created a huge explosion alongside a mushroom cloud and put a crater in the ground that went down to the world's core while all of the land got obliterated by a giant shockwave, everything was barren while the world's natives looked around. Volvox and his invaders came back out and resumed attacking, "Now, let us obliterate them." Volvox ordered, and all of them attacked together. Volvox and his army attacked together and used their various powers to destroy the world, Doctor Whooves sprinted away while the others noticed him, "Satori, read his mind." Tom stated, and it did, "He has a time machine that has been enchanted with a spell to nullify our future seeing powers hidden in another realm, only that creature named Discord can open the portal." Satori explained, the portal opened and he went in while Sunset Shimmer flung Starlight Glimmer into it with her telekinesis, "I'll deal with them." Yog-Sothoth stated, and part of him disappeared. Doctor Whooves and Starlight Glimmer were in Discord's realm and got ready to activate the time machine, "Come on, Starlight Glimmer, we have to hurry, if possible, let's go back to before they arrived so we can warn the others and prepare accordingly." Doctor Whooves said, "I'm ready, I'll go ahead and start setting the coordinates for what time we go to." Starlight Glimmer replied, and she rested. Doctor Whooves got ready to turn it on but stopped when he saw Yog-Sothoth appear in the place as a bunch of glowing sphere of various sizes that were growing and shrinking randomly, "Great wickering stallions!" Doctor Whooves exclaimed, "You foolish mortal, I am anywhere and everywhere at the same time in all of existence, I can also see the past, present, and future of all of existence, you cannot hide anything from me, since you have aided the humans, you, too, will suffer their fate." Yog-Sothoth said, Doctor Whooves screamed while he felt his body fading and it disappeared completely Yog-Sothoth then destroyed his soul. Starlight Glimmer watched with horror and tried to teleport out but Yog-Sothoth got her with his powers and she screamed while her body and soul got destroyed, he then destroyed the time machine and Discord's realm and disappeared. Everybody looked back at where they heard Doctor Whooves and Starlight Glimmer screaming, Discord opened a portal to his realm and saw the destroyed machine, "No, they must've got them." Discord said, "Starlight?!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed and her jaw dropped, they heard another scream and saw Cozy Glow in the air, "Starlight Glimmer?!" Sunburst called out while looking on in horror while Trixie was speechless, Vishnu destroyed Cozy Glow's body with his powers and the Pixiu then destroyed her soul, Discord looked on in shock and slithered away, "Wait, Discord!" Twilight Sparkle called out, all of the world's natives began to have their bodies and souls destroyed and everybody saw King Thorax and Trixie were in the next group. Sunset Shimmer quickly ran to the mirror and destroyed it with a blast from her magic, she heard more screaming and saw the next group of creatures get their bodies and souls destroyed, she saw Princess Ember and Ocellus were in the group, "OCELLUS!!" Silverstream called out, "DAUGHTER!!" Dragon Lord Torch hollered, the next group got their bodies and souls destroyed that had Roseluck and Autumn Blaze in it. Sun Wukong began stretching his staff out and hitting the world's natives on their heads while Catoblepas, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa turned others to stone with their gaze and the Basilisk and Volvox's Cockatrice killed the world's natives with their gazes, Osiris and Anubis then destroyed their souls that had Sandbar and Silverstream in it, "SANDBAR!! SILVERSTREAM!! THAT DOES IT!! YONA MAD!!" Yona yelled and she charged forward while screaming, "Yona! No!" Smolder hollered, Yona screamed and Raijin electrocuted her body to ashes, Anubis took her soul and destroyed it. Azathoth continued erasing the world's natives from existence and the Storm Guards were gone, everybody heard Queen Chrysalis screaming while she was held up in the air by Volvox's telekinesis and he shot hellfire beams out of his eyes', Discord came back with the Bewitching Bell and absorbed Queen Chrysalis' magic into it, "NOOOOOOOOO!!" Queen Chrysalis hollered as her body turned into ashes and the Pixiu destroyed her soul. Discord then used the Bewitching Bell on Tirek and depowered him, "What are you doing?!" Nightmare Moon inquired, Zeus and Thor electrocuted Tirek and reduced his body to ashes and Osiris destroyed his soul, Azathoth saw Tempest Shadow kicking obsidian orbs everywhere and he erased her from existence. Gallus and Smolder tried to fight back but they got overwhelmed by the many creatures and slaughtered, Anubis took and destroyed their souls, "NO!!" Twilight Sparkle yelled, "Ah can't believe it, they got all six of 'em." Applejack remarked, Twilight Sparkle growled and shot huge blasts out of her horn that obliterated most of the mortal monsters on the land, Volvox's Roc picked up Spike and carried him away, "SPIKE!!" Rainbow Dash yelled, and she flew after him while Twilight Sparkle stopped and looked. She shot huge blasts out while growling and Fujin blew wind at her to knock her down, she yelped while Sun Wukong took Spike and he tried to break free, the Sluagh then surrounded and cut him apart, the Pixiu then took and destroyed Spike's soul, "SPIKE!!" Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor exclaimed while tears fell down Twilight Sparkle's cheeks, she and Shining Armor growled and shot big blasts together. Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle shot a big blast together and combined them into a big swirling blast of two colors, Volvox and the others swayed to the sides and dodged it, a big explosion appeared behind them and the shockwave knocked the smaller creatures down while the bigger ones were unfazed, they shot more destructive blasts together while Volvox burrowed his three heads into the ground, he appeared under them and shot hellfire blasts at them, Twilight Sparkle exclaimed and quickly teleported while Shining Armor tried to put up a shield but got caught in the blast and got reduced to ashes, "DARLING!!" Princess Cadance yelled while Flurry Heart exclaimed with horror, Anubis then destroyed Shining Armor's soul. Twilight Sparkle and Princess Cadance fell to their knees' and cried with Flurry Heart, Typhon shot fire from his hundred heads at them and Sunset Shimmer quickly teleported them away, Princess Cadance and Flurry Heart looked at Volvox and his invaders with rage and shot powerful blasts at them, Sunburst undid Flurry Heart's seal and she used her magic to its full power, Azathoth then erased Sunburst out of existence. Flurry Heart shot one big blast after another that destroyed a lot of Volvox's army while the angels, fallen angels, demons, and gods were unaffected, she held up the alps and goblins with her telekinesis and shot big blasts at them and destroyed them, the centaurs and satyrs shot arrows at her and she put up a shield to block them, it also blocked out magic. Princess Cadance flew around and shot blasts at the invaders ragefully, she put up a shield every time something tried to attack her but Zeus' lightning bolts knocked her back, she kept flying and shooting blasts, Volvox ducked under one and shot hellfire blasts from his three mouths at her, she teleported higher into the air and was above the others, Daoloth shot psychic blasts into Princess Cadance's brain and she went insane, she screamed at the visions in her mind, "Mama!" Flurry Heart hollered, the incubi and succubi absorbed love out of Princess Cadance to empower themselves, Discord quickly used the Bewitching Bell to absorb Princess Cadance's magic and Volvox shot hellfire blasts to burn her to ashes and Anubis destroyed her soul. Twilight Sparkle looked on with shock and was speechless while Flurry Heart had tears fall out of her eyes, she growled and shot bigger blasts out of her horn while screaming. Volvox and his army swayed around to dodge her blasts and she growled, Flurry Heart shot blasts into the ground and activated volcanic eruptions, she shot more and teleported around until Vishnu got a hold of her with his powers, Flurry Heart panicked and let out baby noises while she felt herself disappearing, "FLURRY HEART!! NO!!" Twilight Sparkle yelled as she tried to save her with her magic, Discord absorbed Flurry Heart's magic with the Bewitching Bell and she faded from existence. Twilight Sparkle looked on tearfully while Star Swirl the Bearded, Flash Magnus, Mistmane, Mage Meadowbrook, Somnambula, Rockhoof, and the Pony of Shadows worked together to try to take down the invaders but Azrael and Abaddon were proving to be too powerful for them, Abaddon absorbed the Pony of Shadow's dark magic and turned him back into Stygian, Azrael's eyes glowed and Star Swirl the Bearded put up a shield to repel his power. Azrael stopped and Star Swirl the Bearded cast a spell that summoned white light around them and the fallen angels became depowered while Azrael and Abaddon continued fighting. Azrael controlled the souls he took and shot blasts at them while Abaddon turned into a black blob of dark magic and flew around, the Pillars came together and shot a big blast at Abaddon and he reverted back to normal, he attacked relentlessly and the Pillars blocked his attacks, Azrael used his powers on them while they were distracted and not in their views, Abaddon flew to behind him and the Pillars and Stygian looked at Azrael, his gaze killed them and Osiris destroyed their souls while Discord absorbed the Pillars' elements and the Pony of Shadow's dark magic out of Abaddon and into the Bewitching Bell. The Mane Six looked on in disbelief at seeing everybody fall and they heard familiar screaming, they looked and saw Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle held up in the air with Volvox's telekinesis, "NO!!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she flew to them, Thor shocked and paralyzed her, Rarity tried to teleport the Cutie Mark Crusaders out of Volvox's grip but Phoenix and Thunderbird flew to her and shot fire and lightning at her. She exclaimed while Applejack ran and jumped while throwing her lasso forward to try to grab the Cutie Mark Crusaders, the angels carried Tsurube-otoshi and dropped him on Applejack, she grunted when she got pinned to the ground, Azathoth then erased the Cutie Mark Crusaders from existence, Rainbow Dash and Applejack screamed in horror and Rarity sobbed hysterically. Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon destroyed much of Volvox's army and all of the prehistoric fauna were destroyed, Bishamonten summoned rain and put out Daybreaker's fire and Nightmare Moon created illusions to hide and shot zaps at Shub-Niggurath's creations, the abstract looking creatures swarmed them and Nightmare Moon flew up to take avoid them, Nyarlathotep began changing reality around and Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon became confused, Bishamonten attacked them with his spear and they saw it coming and teleported, Pazuzu blew the southwestern wind and knocked them out of the sky, Volvox shot hellfire blasts and Nightmare Moon screamed while Daybreaker withstood it and laughed, she screamed when the yuki-onnas froze her, Discord absorbed their magic into the Bewitching Bell while Daybreaker melted into a puddle of water and Nightmare Moon became ash, Osiris then destroyed Princess Celestia's and Princess Luna's souls. The Mane Six looked on in disbelief at seeing almost everybody was gone, they saw Dragon Lord Torch, Sunset Shimmer, and the Pie family were still trying to fight back, Azathoth erased Dragon Lord Torch out of existence while Sunset Shimmer's fire magic did not do well, Typhon shot fire at her and Sunset Shimmer screamed, "Stop... them! Can't... have them... in... vade... my world." Sunset Shimmer said, Discord absorbed her element into the Bewitching Bell and she got reduced to ashes, the Pixiu then destroyed her soul. The Mane Six looked around and nodded, they ran to the Tree of Harmony and went to a chest. They put six keys in it and a rainbow came out, they transformed and floated, they shot a rainbow light at the invaders but Zeus, Poseidon, Amphitrite, Hades, Persephone, Typhon, Osiris, Amun, Ra, Anubis, Apep, Set, Odin, Thor, Vishnu, Bishamonten, Huitzilopochtli, Pazuzu, Fujin, and Raijin combined their powers together to unleash one blast and entered a deadlock, the seven archangels flew to behind the Mane Six and shot light magic into their backs, their shield deflected it while they tried to overpower their attackers. Seere appeared inside the shield and began running and trampling the Mane Six with his horse, they exclaimed while they fell over and the shield went down, Seere disappeared and the gods' blast hit them and they screamed, a shockwave damaged the world while Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Applejack groaned and laid on the ground, Volvox shot hellfire blasts at them and screamed while getting reduced to ashes, Discord absorbed their elements and powers into the Bewitching Bell while holding his tears back, the five mares got reduced to ashes and Osiris and Anubis destroyed their souls. Volvox and his army looked around and saw no one, "There should be at least seven people in this world left around now." Barbatos said, everybody suddenly got punched and they saw Igneous Rock Pie, Cloudy Quartz, Limestone Pie, Maud Pie, Pinkie Pie, and Marble Pie break the laws of physics and attacked them, "YOU HURT AND DESTROYED MY FRIENDS!! I'LL NEVER FORGIVE ANY OF YOU!!" Pinkie Pie yelled, and she and her family began multiplying and moving at blinding speeds. Vishnu and Azathoth began erasing the clones from existence but more clones of the Pie family came out from under the ground, they began throwing rocks with their manes and tails while Dommiel made their shadows attack them, Ra and Huitzilopochtli controlled the world's sun and tried to burn the Pie family but they absorbed the sun's fire and began throwing it out of their hoofs, manes, and tails, and shooting it out of their mouths and eyes'. The Pie family and their clones floated around and punched and kicked the others, the gods and giant creatures were unfazed while the small, medium sized, and slightly large creatures fell over, they then burrowed into the ground and began throwing boulders at them. Azathoth began trying to erase the Pie family from existence but they multiplied and more of them appeared out of nowhere, Dommiel tried to make their shadows attack them but the Pie family's shadows helped them instead. All of them began controlling various elements and Volvox's army began to fall back, Thunderbird shot lightning at them and Igneous Rock Pie caught it in one front hoof, directed it through it his body, and shot it back with his other front hoof, the invaders swayed to their sides to dodge it while the lightning went into the clouds and lightning struck the entire world. Pinkie Pie and her shadows and clones began playing various instruments and shot fireballs out of her woodwind and brass instruments while her string elements summoned tornadoes and percussion instruments triggered earthquakes, Odin struck the Pie family with his spear but more of them appeared while his Valkyries began to fall, Typhon's children got overwhelmed and Typhon shot fire and venom everywhere and burned and poisoned the entire Pie family and their clones. The invaders kept their guards up and the Pie family reappeared, they began shooting rocks at them and used their powers to break the golems apart, they shot their body parts at them and the orcs and draugr smashed their pieces with their war hammers, the Sluagh tried to eat the Pie family but they disappeared and reappeared in the sky. They threw rocks into the sky and it rained boulders and confectioneries, Volvox shot his hellfire blasts at them and they were gone, they reappeared in front of them and stomped their hoofs on the ground to create landslides and made rocks shaped like spikes grow out. Tulzscha went into the ground and erupted, the Pie family coughed and felt sick and Yibb-Tstll put black snowflakes on them, they wheezed and struggled to breathe and Shub-Niggurath's monsters swarmed them, they got destroyed and Hades, Osiris, Anubis, the Pixiu destroyed their souls. The invaders kept their guards up and more boulders came down from the sky, they saw the Pie family in the air and Pinkie Pie pelted them with frozen desserts, Volvox shot red lightning out of his tail's tip to paralyze them and then shot hellfire beams out of his eyes', Discord absorbed their powers into the Bewitching Bell and they soon got reduced to ashes and Hades destroyed their souls. Volvox and his army looked at the destroyed world and saw no one, "Is that everyone?" Cxaxukluth asked, "There's one more." Paimon answered, everyone saw magic get drained out of the Tree of Harmony and into the Bewitching Bell, Discord then used the Bewitching Bell to put the elements of magic, sorcery, loyalty, bravery, kindness, healing, laughter, hope, generosity, beauty, honesty, strength, and empathy, Rainbow Power, the alicorn magic of Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, Twilight Sparkle, and Flurry Heart, Queen Chrysalis' and Tirek's magic, the Pony of Shadow's dark magic, and the Pie family's powers to break the laws of physics into himself and combined it with his chaos magic, he glared at the invaders while holding his arms out to the sides with his palms facing the sky and lava erupted out of the ground around him while lightning bolts appeared behind him. Discord flexed his body outwards and a rainbow colored shockwave appeared that destroyed the world and caused natural disasters to happen, Volvox shot hellfire blasts out of his front feet while Dommiel shot shadow blasts out of his hands and Discord caught them and shot them back, he began changing the world to what he visualized and all of the inanimate objects began attacking the invaders. Discord made clones of the Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Star Swirl the Bearded, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, Flurry Heart, Queen Chrysalis, and Tirek appear and they shot their magic blasts at them while Discord shot a huge blast consisting of the elements, Rainbow Power, alicorn magic, and his own magic together, the invaders moved away to dodge it and the blast split into smaller beams that homed on the invaders. Foras tried to cast his invincibility spell but it was still nullified, the blasts hit them and caused big explosions, many of Volvox's mortal creatures got wiped out, Discord shot another blast and one from his mouth and two more from his eyes, he aimed for Volvox and he shot hellfire blasts out of his mouths, eyes', two eye holes in his skeleton head, balls of his front feet, and tips of his front feet's toes. They entered a deadlock but Discord overpowered him easily and Volvox groaned while wincing back, Tom and his dragons breathed fire and lightning at him but Discord absorbed them into his body and shot them back, Tom and his dragons fell out of the sky. Zeus and Odin attacked him together and Discord got pushed back by Zeus' lightning bolts and Odin's runes shooting non-elemental blasts at him, he created clones of himself and he changed the landscape to a maze, Satan burned it down with his fire magic while Belphegor tried to make Discord stuck in one place with his gravity magic but it had no effect on him. Discord laughed with his voice echoing and summoned meteors from the sky, they devastated the land while Discord punched his fists together to create another Rainbow Power shockwave that destroyed the world, the invaders got pushed back while the smaller creatures got shot away. Catoblepas, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa looked at him and turned him to stone, Discord appeared behind it and his stone clone began moving on its own, Beelzebub sent flies to eat Discord but he used the Pie family's powers to create duplicates of himself and he began appearing in random places and attacking the invaders, blue and green flames appeared and took his form and they grew extra limbs and shot more powerful blasts at the invaders. Discord and his clones began growing extra limbs and shot big beams into the sky, it rained down and destroyed the land while rainbow shockwaves appeared and Volvox quickly moved himself and his army into the world's core, Discord appeared down there and made the core bigger and burned the mortal creatures of Volvox's army, they got out and onto the surface where rainbow shockwaves shook the world. Discord continued creating clones of the world's dead natives and they shot their magic beams at them, Azathoth erased them from existence while Vishnu and Bishamonten tried to get the Bewitching Bell, Discord used it to depower the many creatures in Volvox's army and put their magic into himself, he got more powerful and his magic auras got bigger. Phoenix and Thunderbird combined their fire and lightning attacks together and Discord flew and slithered around with his clones, he tried to use the Bewitching Bell on Azathoth and Yog-Sothoth but their powers were too much for the Bewitching Bell to handle and shot them out, Typhon made volcanoes erupt and summoned powerful earthquakes and wind gusts that had no effect on Discord, he shot fire and venom out of his hundred mouths and two hundred eyes' but they had no effect on Discord. Discord held the Bewitching Bell and drained magic out of the fallen angels except for Azrael and Abaddon since their powers were too much for the bell to handle, Volvox shot a big hellfire blast out of his front right foot at the bell and a white flash appeared, Discord grunted while the bell cracked and white light appeared out of it. Michael saw the bell cracking and Discord still used it to depower the invaders, he alongside the other archangels, Seven Princes of Hell, seventy two Solomon demons could not get depowered, Michael flew to Discord and he teleported with the bell, Volvox tried to hold him in place with his telekinesis but Discord teleported out of it, he held the bell out to drain his army's magic while teleporting around, Michael did many swings that sent fire everywhere and a few hit the bell, it cracked more and exploded and shot Discord back. Discord stood up and Volvox and his magic users cast their spells on him, he began using the Pony of Shadow's dark magic and his eyes turned green with a purple haze coming out of them, he shot dark crystals everywhere while more grew out of the ground, the angels got heavily affected while the fallen angels and demons did not. They realized it was dark magic and Lucifer and Abaddon absorbed it into themselves, they shot black blasts at Discord and he made his own shadow and skeleton come out of his body and they began using his chaos magic while transforming their body parts into different parts. Discord saw the dark magic was not working well and fallen angels and demons absorbed it to heal and empower themselves, he held his arms out and shot Rainbow Power out of his fingers and claws in the form of lightning strikes, the rainbow lightning strikes turned the mortal invaders into ash while the immortal members withstood it, the lightning strikes that hit the world destroyed it while causing more rainbow colored shockwaves to appear. Volvox burrowed his three heads into the ground and appeared under Discord and shot hellfire blasts out of his mouths and at him, Discord withstood it and shot the Rainbow Power lightning at him, Volvox's heads returned to his body and he winced back while groaning loudly, Discord realized Volvox's heads were his weak points and aimed for them, Volvox covered his own heads with his front legs and then jumped into the air, everybody watched him and he body slammed Discord while breaking the ground. Discord reappeared in the sky and he made the sun and moon appear, he made them glow and the sun shot orange blasts out while the moon shot out yellow blasts, they burned the world and he made light blue, yellow, and dark pink shields appear around himself, the world burned while he also used his magic to make more meteors fall and the stars began flying down to the world and burned it. The Outer Gods tried using their powers on Discord but he resisted them a little, the Satori tried to read his mind but discovered it could not, Discord laughed while his voice echoed and he warped time and space while creating natural disasters, Hades, Osiris, Anubis, and the Pixiu tried destroying his soul but Discord kept reappearing elsewhere and more clones of himself appeared, they also shot powerful magic blasts and controlled the sun and moon. The invaders began falling one by one while Discord's powers continued destroying the world, he started making live inanimate objects appear that attacked the invaders while adding more limbs and weapons onto them, he created an army of his own creatures and they attacked the invaders and overpowered them by numbers. The gods looked at the sun and moon and nodded, Azathoth erased them and the stars from existence but Discord made more appear and continued using their powers to destroy the invaders, his army continued overpowering the invaders and Volvox and his army pretended to play dead, Discord stopped using his powers and floated to them while keeping his shields up, he began reshaping them but discovered he cannot reshape Azathoth and Yog-Sothoth, he sighed with relief and put his shields down, Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, Giovi, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Zeus, Odin, Thor, and Typhon shot their various blasts at him and destroyed his body. Discord's soul floated around and the Pixiu tried to catch him, Discord realized he was at risk at being destroyed and he absorbed all of the magic into himself while also creating a new sun, moon, and stars, the sun and moon fused together and went into his body. Discord screamed while holding his body out and a huge wall of sun and moon fire, stars, meteors, all elements in Equestria, non-elemental alicorn magic, dark magic, and Rainbow Power appeared around him, the Rainbow Power shockwave went out slowly and destroyed everything in its path while the spinning wall of fire sent meteors flying in all directions. Volvox flung the meteors back with his telekinesis and Discord starting shooting Rainbow Power lightning out everywhere and craters appeared all over the world while he desperately tried to destroy the invaders. Everybody backed away while Discord floated to the center of the world and screamed in rage and the wall of magic got bigger and spread out faster, the invaders went under the ground and the surface got destroyed, Discord quickly went into the world's core and fused with it, the solar and lunar flames erupted out of the ground everywhere alongside rainbow colored lava, pictures of the cutie marks of the Mane Six, Pillars, and Sunset Shimmer appeared in the sky. Volvox and his army began to fall and Discord floated in the sky and shot big blasts in all directions, Apep got stronger by the chaos and summoned a black mass that darkened the world, he began absorbing Discord's chaos magic while Vishnu reshaped the world, the sun, moon, and stars disappeared and Discord stopped using his powers for a second in disbelief, Hades, Osiris, Anubis, and the Pixiu quickly got a hold of his soul while he desperately tried to escape but they destroyed his soul and erased him from existence. Volvox and the other survivors of his army panted heavily while they saw every single human and native of the world and its flora and fauna have been destroyed, "We finally did it." Dommiel said, "But at a high price." Tom replied, everybody saw only a quarter of the army was left and some species' have become extinct, "Let us rest for now." Volvox stated, and they did, "Is everybody ready?" Volvox asked three hours later, the survivors nodded, "Let us go to that orange horse's world next and wipe out that world's humans." Volvox commanded, "Considering there's much less magic there, this should be much easier." Sun Wukong commented, "Wait, Foras, can you cast your invincibility spell again?" Typhon asked, Foras tried and it worked, "Yes! It works again!" Foras boasted, the invaders snickered while Bael, Foras, and Balem made them invisible, Ronove enchanted the creatures to be more powerful than they already are, and Alloces made the invaders immortal, "Let's go." Volvox stated, and the Outer Gods opened portals to Sunset Shimmer's world. The invaders arrived and Malphas made the humans forget their thoughts while Shax made them blind and deaf. Azathoth and Vishnu then erased that world's Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Spike from existence alongside all of its magical artifacts and they invaders quickly destroyed the world and drove every person, flora, and fauna to extinction. The Maker then merged Volvox's Earth with Sunset Shimmer's Earth and Equestria and the creatures ruled the new world and shaped it as they saw fit.
No HumansVolvox was the very first being created on Earth by the Maker and the gods, he was ageless and already an adult when he was created, the Maker and gods were surprised by how he turned out, he was a three thousand feet tall, three hundred fifty feet wide, three hundred feet long creature with three heads with the back of his heads shaped like semicircles and the front shaped like two back-to-back right triangles, he did not have any ears or noses, his four eyes were slanted and monochromatic and did not have any pupils or irises and were on the sides of his head. The right half of his body and right head were gray and skeletal with black holes in place of his eyes and white teeth, the five claws on his right front foot and right hind foot were also made of gray bones. The left half of his body and his left head were pitch black like a shadow, the head's eyes and teeth and five claws on his left front foot and left hind foot were red. His center head, spine, and tail were pink and made out of a parasitic-like skin, his spine had yellow seven pointed star-like organic matters growing on him and each tip was sharp, the tip of his tail was yellow and shaped like a spear's tip with sharp tips on the back corners, and the center head's eyes and teeth, the seven-pointed organic stars, and his tail's tip were yellow. Volvox watched the Earth develop over time and many animals get created by The Maker and watched dragons and many other animals fight one another and go extinct, he trained himself and the powers he had and his own fighting abilities to defend himself from predators, he took out his attackers very easily and angels and demons soon came to Earth to use it as a hunting ground and test their own powers and fighting abilities against Earth's animals. Volvox met a demon named Dommiel and befriended him, he was about eight feet tall and had a muscular body, he was wearing a dark blue suit of armor with three red-orange organic spikes on his pauldrons, a white spike on the back of each couter, white spikes on the back of his bracers and gauntlets, a white spike on the top of each sabaton and the end of his sabatons were pointed and sharp, his cuirass did not have any decorations on it, and his leg armor were custom-made, he had one piece cover his entire shins and calves, knee pads, another piece covering his entire thighs, and a piece of armor that covered his groin and butt areas, his helmet covered his entire head and left only his glowing red eyes exposed, he had three white horns on his helmet with two curved horns on the sides and one straight horn on his forehead. They watched the world fight until a mass extinction happened and wiped out lots of native life on Earth, the dinosaurs and many other animals died out while Volvox's hellfire powers made him immune to the heat and the angels and demons went back home. Animals that survived the extinction continued with life and some went extinct due to Earth's changes. Volvox noticed the dragons survived the mass extinction and the angels and demons also came back, The Maker and other gods created new beings to roam the Earth and another cycle of life began. Volvox decided to spend this time getting to know the angels, demons, and dragons, Dommiel introduced him to many demons and got to learn its seventy two high ranking members and seven rulers, the seventy two high ranking demons were Bael, Agares, Vassago, Samigina, Marbas, Valefor, Amon, Barbatos, Paimon, Buer, Gusion, Sitri, Beleth, Leraje, Eligos, Zepar, Botis, Bathin, Sallos, Purson, Morax, Ipos, Aim, Naberius, Glasya-Labolas, Buné, Ronove, Berith, Astaroth, Forneus, Foras, Asmoday, Gaap, Furfur, Marchosias, Stolas, Phenex, Halphas, Malphas, Raum, Focalor, Vepar, Sabnock, Shax, Vine, Bifrons, Vual, Haagenti, Crocell, Furcas, Balam, Alloces, Caim, Murmur, Orobas, Gremory, Ose, Amy, Orias, Vapula, Zagan, Valac, Andras, Flauros, Andrealphus, Kimaris, Amdusias, Belial, Decarabia, Seere, Dantalion, and Andromalius while its seven rulers were Lucifer, Leviathan, Mammon, Beelzebub, Belphegor, Asmodeus, and Satan. Volvox met with the angels next and got know them and their seven field commanders, they were archangels and their names were Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Barachiel, Jegudiel, and Selaphiel, he also got to meet the fallen angels, who were angels that disobeyed Heaven's rule and were sent to Hell as punishment, he learned their two leaders were Azrael and Abaddon. Volvox then got to know the dragons next and learned its leader was a big winged dragon named Tom, Volvox barely restrained his laughter from how simple his name was but managed to form an alliance and friendship with them. The years passed and Volvox saw several creatures thought extinct survived the mass extinction and they lived with the new creatures, many more were created as the years passed and Earth became a busy place again. Gods from outer space eventually visited the Earth and they were more powerful than Earth's gods and its creatures, their abstract and horrific appearances scared everybody away, "So, this is Earth, quite an abundance of species' you all have here." the center being said in a distorted voice, "Who are you?" Volvox's center head asked with a booming voice, "I am Azathoth, that there is Cxaxukluth, that's Daoloth over there, that's Ghroth back there, that's Nyarlathotep over there, that's Shub-Niggurath over there, that's Tulzscha over there, that's Yibb-Tstll all the way there, and that's Yog-Sothoth back there." the being answered, "What brings you all here to Earth?" Michael questioned, "We watch the cosmos, we noticed this world is teeming with much more life than the other planets, we wondered what was going on." Shub-Niggurath responded, "What do you all say?" Volvox asked, "Either remain neutral or become allies, if we fight them or go to war, conflict between cosmic forces and the divine risks shattering the fabrics of existence." Dommiel stated, "We rule the vastness of space, we decide what kinds of life inhabit the planets, we would like this planet under our rule as well." Nyarlathotep said, "What does The Maker have to say about this?" Tom questioned, the clouds spun and everybody looked, "I made them to watch over the cosmos, every other planet does not have a god like this one, I didn't have the energy to make gods for every planet." The Maker answered with a male and female voice speaking in unison, "Do you want us to form a pact with them?" Raphael questioned, "If it keeps things peaceful, then yes." The Maker responded, "And if it doesn't?" Uriel asked, "I'll erase some of you from existence." The Maker answered, "Very well then, but you nine harm any of us, we go to war." Volvox declared, "Fair enough, we will be mostly neutral, but we will pass by sometimes to see how things are." Azathoth replied, "We just wish to train and get stronger, but other than that, we want to be at peace." Dommiel remarked, "That's fine, we will be on our way now." Cxaxukluth said, and the nine Outer Gods left. The Earth remained a hunting ground and Shub-Niggurath sometimes came and sent her children to hunt and the Earth's native creatures used them as training and hunted them down, the gods eventually came to see how Earth was progressing and Volvox got to know Zeus, Poseidon, Amphitrite, Hades, Persephone, Typhon, Odin, Thor, Osiris, Amun, Ra, Anubis, Apep, Set, Vishnu, Bishamonten, Huitzilopochtli, and Pazuzu. They began making creatures that looked like them while something strange happened, the dead creatures came back as ghosts while they bodies became reanimated as zombies, Osiris and Anubis also used their powers on the dead to create mummies. Centuries passed and the gods agreed on creating one more species and they created the humans, they acted differently from the other civilizations and worshiped every other creature and monster on the planet and built architectures dedicated to them. Centuries passed and the humans developed very advanced technology and were beginning to bring back extinct animals, they also discovered life on the other planets and got ready to build spacecraft and technology to explore and visit them, but every human suddenly got sick and died by an unseen force and soon went extinct while the other creatures and gods tried to find out what happened, Volvox asked The Maker and it said it believed one of the extraterrestrial lifeforms killed them. A year passed and the humans were all buried in one area with billions of gravestones marked, the gods continued trying to find out which alien species killed the humans but had no luck. The Outer Gods looked and also confirmed they had no role in making the humans extinct, they also investigated the planets and could not find anything. The humanoid creatures tried using the remaining technology and equipment left behind by the humans and tried to see if they can find anything. They messed with the coordinates and found another realm, they pressed several buttons and the world began to shake, a big wormhole opened and everybody braced for impact and got sent to another realm. Equestria and the world's natives were going on with their days peacefully until white electricity appeared to the east of Equestria and covered the entire ocean, a big land appeared and it spread out to cover the ocean. The world's natives looked on in surprise at seeing many creatures emerge and at how huge some of them were, "Where are we?" a female humanoid creature asked, "Send us back." Volvox stated, his booming voice scared the world's natives, "No can do, Volvox, we're going to have to wait for the wormhole opener to recharge, it's going to take a while." a male humanoid creature stated, "Well, let's just lay low here and mind our own businesses until then." Volvox remarked, everybody agreed and got on with their days, "What do y'all think about them?" Applejack asked, "Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to go and welcome them." Twilight Sparkle stated, "That's a great idea! I can throw a 'Welcome to this world' party!" Pinkie Pie declared while hopping up and down, "Um, some of them are big and scary looking." Fluttershy quivered, "Oh, relax, Fluttershy, they don't look hostile at all." Rainbow Dash observed, "I think it would be best to greet them as well so we can feel safe." Rarity suggested, "Yeah, there are dragons with them, too, I think they would be excited to learn about this world's dragons." Spike added, "Alright, welcoming them, it is, to my balloon, everypony." Twilight Sparkle said, and they entered her hot air balloon and flew to the new land. The Mane Six and Spike flew to the new land while the creatures noticed them coming and kept their guards up, they arrived and everybody watched them, "What do you all want?" Barachiel asked, "We're just here to say hello and welcome you all to our world." Twilight Sparkle responded, "You guys this world's rulers?" Jegudiel inquired, "No, we're this world's protectors, but I am a princess of this world's most powerful country." Twilight Sparkle answered, "That country beside us to the west?" Selaphiel questioned, "Yes, it is called Equestria, I am Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship, that's Spike, my assistant, that's Rainbow Dash, that's Fluttershy, that's Pinkie Pie, that's Rarity, and that's Applejack." Twilight Sparkle replied, the creatures looked at her with bewilderment, "Princess of Friendship? That is your title?" Lucifer questioned, "You guys got a problem with that?" Rainbow Dash inquired while scowling, "In our world, a title like that would make you the subject of ridicule and harassment." Stolas stated, "What?! It is a title that announces to the world that she is the one who harmonizes us and teaches us about love and acceptance." Rarity explained, "Still, Princess of Friendship doesn't sound like a title one would take seriously." Satan remarked, "Do you all have titles?" Twilight Sparkle inquired, "Those seven there do." Tom answered, "Let's hear them." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Prince of Pride." Lucifer boasted, "Prince of Envy." Leviathan said, "Prince of Greed." Mammon remarked, "Prince of Gluttony." Beelzebub stated, "Prince of Sloth." Belphegor commented, "Prince of Lust." Asmodeus spoke, "Prince of Wrath." Satan announced, "They don't sound very welcoming." Applejack said, "They're not, we spread sin, our titles are the sin we spread to mortals." Lucifer explained, "So, who's the ruler here?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I am, but the angels and demons don't obey me, they do their own things, I am the emperor of the world we're from." Volvox explained, "I must say, what a diverse amount of creatures you have under your rule, I'd like to know the name of each creature type if possible." Twilight Sparkle said, "Very well." Volvox replied, and he had all of them divided by which group of humans labeled them. He introduced them to the angels first and the Mane Six got to know Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Barachiel, Jegudiel, and Selaphiel, he introduced them to the fallen angels next alongside Azrael and Abaddon, after them were four skeletons in black cloaks riding horses, the first one rode a white horse and held a bow while also wearing a crown, the second one rode a red horse and held a sword, the third one rode a black horse and held scales, and the fourth one rode a pale horse and held a scythe.

Twilight Sparkle spoke, and the Mane Six and Spike went into the hot air balloon and left. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna watched the new land from Canterlot's castle and the Mane Six and Spike came in, "Princess Celestia, the new people seem mostly friendly and harmless, but they do look powerful." Twilight Sparkle reported, "I noticed, it'd be best if we don't make them mad, I don't think this world will survive in a battle against them." Princess Celestia replied, "Especially those big creatures, those nine beings in the sky look especially dangerous." Princess Luna added, "One thing that made me uncomfortable is the many graves behind 'em there." Applejack said, "I noticed that, too, I can't help but get a bad feeling about it." Twilight Sparkle added, "Let's let time pass and see if they open up to us, maybe they will explain to us one day." Princess Celestia suggested, "Well, I hope they hadn't done anything bad before they came here." Rainbow Dash remarked, "We'll just have to wait and see if they stay here that long, but for now, let them get comfortable, we'll welcome them here and provide help if they need it." Princess Luna responded, "Head on home, it's almost night time, we'll keep an eye on them for now." Princess Celestia said, and they left. Night time came and Princess Luna entered the dream realm, she saw the foals dream in awe about Phoenix, Volvox's Griffon, Volvox's Hippogriff, the Pixiu, Owlman, Thunderbird, the angels, fairies, centaurs, satyrs, sirens, nymphs, elves, kitsunes, tanukis, merfolk, and swan maidens while having nightmares about Typhon, Volvox's Cerberus, Orthrus, Volvox's Hydra, Volvox's Chimera, Volvox's Minotaur, Nemean Lion, Erymanthian Boar, Catoblepas, the Laestrygonians, Sleipnir, the Kraken, the Gashadokuro, the Bake-kujira, Hone-Onna, Ittan-momen, Jorōgumo, Wanyūdō, Nue, the Ōmukade, Shuten-Dōji, Fujin, Raijin, Yamata-no-Orochi, the Lambton Worm, the Nuckelavee, the Hound of Baskervilles, Boogeyman, the Kelpie, the Headless Horseman, Dullahan, Tarasque, the Aswang, the Manananggal, the Penanggalan, the Azhi Dahaka, Volvox's Manticore, the Mongolian Death Worm, the Thetis Lake Monster, Volvox's Yeti, Volvox's Bunyip, Piasa, Popobawa, Grootslang, Azathoth, Cxaxukluth, Daoloth, Ghroth, Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, Tulzscha, Yibb-Tstll, Yog-Sothoth, the Jersey Devil, the Dover Demon, the Flatwoods Monster, Goatman, the Chupacabra, the demons, skeletons, ghosts, giants, were-beasts, cyclopes, trolls, draugr, mummies, yuki-onnas, onis, umi-bōzus, kechibis, namahages, ningyos, nure-onnas, ōkubis, onikumas, tsuchigumos, ogres, Sluagh, goblins, zombies, ekeks, wakwaks, ghouls, alps, yowies, wendigoes, skinwalkers, mngwas, nandi bears, and orcs. Princess Luna zapped them away and then saw the onikumas in other nightmares and she zapped them away, she noticed the creatures who had weapons, claws, and sharp teeth were the most common in the foals' nightmares and she spent all night getting rid of them. The next morning came and the world's natives noticed the new creatures all standing together with Volvox in front of them and the many graves behind him, "As you all know, today is the one year anniversary since the human species of our world went extinct, some of you monsters may not know it, but our world had a mass extinction centuries before you all came into existence, only a few of us survived it, no doubt the humans would've gone extinct at that time. The humans may have been the weakest species of us all, but they were the smartest and most creative, if they didn't go extinct last year, we could've had space travel, and there's also the fact that they have worshiped and revered us since they first came into existence and built those shrines and temples around us that we preserve in their memory, it is still unknown who killed them, it was a shocking loss to us all, wasted potential, too, they were also the youngest and newest species under my rule, I was sad to see them go like you guys, so from now on, I will have this day marked as a national day of paying respects, may these humans rest in peace." Volvox spoke, and everybody went on with their days. The world's natives murmured while the watched the creatures clean the abandoned buildings of worship and they made offerings, they then paid their respects to the graves while the world's natives came and counted the gravestones, "Wow, the number of humans were in the billions." Starlight Glimmer commented, "These are mass graves, there's hundreds to thousands of humans buried in each one." Tom explained, "So, um, what happened?" Silverstream questioned, "We don't know, everything was peaceful and the humans just suddenly dropped dead with no warning." Typhon responded, "Not even us who can see into the past, present, and future could figure out what happened." Gremory added, "You guys don't have any idea what happened?" Rainbow Dash inquired, "As of now, we think some life form beyond the sky and in space released some kind of invisible and odorless gas that has been made specifically to kill humans, the Outer Gods already looked but found nothing." Odin explained, "Is there any evidence of that?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, the vampires went into a lab and brought out a microscope and a petri dish. The world's natives looked at them with confusion while Twilight Sparkle examined the petri dish through the microscope, "What the?" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed while she saw the microscopic insectoid creatures moving around with some kind of transparent fume around them, "There's these really tiny bugs moving around and I see some kind of toxic fume around them, I've never seen any microscopic creature like this before." Twilight Sparkle reported, "See, there you go, some of us already examined their genetic structure with the equipment the humans left behind, we already confirmed they were created in a lab and are extraterrestrial in nature." Fujin responded, "Um... extraterrestrial?" Sandbar questioned, "From where we're from, there is life beyond the sky, if you go high enough, you enter a place called space, it is black and filled with stars, there are big areas called planets there, too, you can land on some of them and they have life on them." Cxaxukluth explained, "Life beyond the sky, you say? Now you've piqued my interest." Twilight Sparkle said, "Maybe we can find something in it with our magic." Princess Cadance suggested, "We already did that, we found nothing, these mini bugs seem to have to been created solely with science." Raijin responded, "Well, maybe your magic is different from ours, and you should let us examine it to see if we find anything." Twilight Sparkle suggested, "Well, Volvox?" Tom asked, "Let's give it a go, if they find anything, it might be helpful." Volvox replied, "Thank you, I'll go ahead and start examining now." Twilight Sparkle responded, and she teleported the petri dish to her castle and then teleported there. Twilight Sparkle wandered around her castle while getting her equipment and books with her magic and began examining the microscopic bugs. She looked at their bodies closely and noticed there were hexagonal shaped structures on their bodies with the fumes coming out of the spaces between them, she removed them with her telekinesis and saw soft and shiny bodies and she exclaimed when the fumes poured out much faster. She looked on with her jaw dropped but realized she felt fine and the fumes did not seem to have any affect on her, she continued examining the bugs and noticed they were also moving faster, "What is this?" Twilight Sparkle asked as she watched them. She examined the bugs farther but continued to find nothing, "Hmm, I'll need to see what they do to a human body." Twilight Sparkle commented, and she teleported. Volvox's subjects showed the world's natives the things the humans invented and they looked on in awe and fascination, Twilight Sparkle appeared and everybody looked at her, "I need a human body to test on." Twilight Sparkle stated, "We already got recordings of those bugs' effects on humans." Dommiel responded, "Oh, can I see it?" Twilight Sparkle requested, and the fairies flew into a lab to get a TV out and put a video tape in a VCR. A recording played with angels acting as scientists and they applied the microscopic bugs on a dead human and then one angel picked up the camera and put it on a microscope. They watched the fumes age the human's skin rapidly and the angel moved the camera and saw monitors and machines showing the human's insides aging, "Okay, so um... what's going on?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "Those fumes passed by them age the human body at an extremely fast rate and cause their body functions to shut down due to old age, that was how we figured out something was wrong." Volvox explained, "I removed their outer shells and their fumes came out even more." Twilight Sparkle stated, "We discovered that ourselves a long time ago, there seems to be a gland in their body emitting toxic gas not native to our world." Pazuzu replied, "Y'all know where it's from?" Applejack inquired, "It was created artificially, but when the Outer Gods compared its structure to other toxic gases on other planets, it was discovered to be an chemically engineered gas from a gaseous planet that is filled with toxic fumes and cannot be landed on, one thing we do know is whichever alien species made these is a highly advanced one." a succubus responded, "Have you all tried to check what they are with alchemy?" Mage Meadowbrook asked, "What would that do?" Volvox questioned, "Well, I don't know about you guys, but in this world, we can use magic and alchemy to separate creatures and objects apart into the ingredients that made them." Mage Meadowbrook explained, "I'm not sure if this will work, but let's give it a try." Volvox stated, and Twilight Sparkle brought the microscope and petri dish with her magic. Mage Meadowbrook and Zecora began experimenting with the bugs and the unicorns cast magic when they ordered it, they began dividing the bugs into different objects and the new creatures watched with surprise. The alchemists divided the bugs into regular bugs and a colorless and odorless gas that Sunburst held in place with his magic, "Wow, that was actually much faster than reverse genetic engineering." a male troll commented, "Do you guys recognize this bug?" Somnambula asked, the Outer Gods leaned down and examined them while the world's natives became uncomfortable seeing them up close, "Nope, it seems these bugs have been genetically engineered, too." Nyarlathotep answered, "Wait, before we jump to conclusions, we must examine them to see if they're mutated through chemicals or radiation as well." Yibb-Tstll reminded, Volvox used his telekinesis to get various types of radiation detectors out of the lab and put them near the bugs, they did not go off, "Nope, no radiation in them." Volvox reported, "I'm not seeing any abnormal mutations either." Dommiel added, Volvox used his telekinesis to get more equipment out of the lab and used scanners on the bugs. Genetic structures appeared on screens and the were-beasts looked at them and pointed out mutated genes, "How do you guys know how to use those?" Sandbar asked, "What?" a male werewolf commented, "How do you all know how to operate all of that stuff?" Sandbar questioned, "The humans taught us how before they went extinct." a female were-panther explained, "Oh, no wonder why." Sandbar said, "So they are mutated, seems to be chemicals deliberately injected into them, too." a male elf commented, "Any signs of viruses?" a female fairy asked, "I'm not seeing any." a male orc answered, "While I understand you are looking at this with interest, I wish to get this done quick since my time to work in the day is near its limit." Zecora remarked, "What a unique way you have of speaking." Tom replied, "My kind speaks like this all the time, as we are well versed in the way of rhymes." Zecora explained, "Well, come on, let's continue." Volvox stated, and they did. The alchemists and unicorns used their magic to separate the bugs and gas and they managed to remove the mutating chemicals from them and the Outer Gods looked at them, "Okay, now they seem to be back to normal, we know what planet these bugs are from, we're going to have to pay the species native to their planet a visit when we get back home." Tulzscha said, "Hold on, y'all don't sound like y'all are gonna try to make amends or anythin'." Applejack remarked, "The species has made one species on our planet extinct, it is only fitting they get met with the same fate." Zeus responded, "But what if it's just a small group of people and not the entire kind?" Princess Luna inquired, "Very unlikely, the species that control the planet those bugs are from are famous for hating humans, they're a warlike species, too." Yog-Sothoth answered, "So? No talking things out and offering friendship?" Pinkie Pie asked, "They are not the types to be negotiated and persuaded with, they rather attack and kill on sight." Azathoth explained, "Oh, wow, talk about unpleasant." Twilight Sparkle commented, "Let us head on home, it's getting late." Princess Celestia said, and everybody went home and rested. The next day came and the world's natives noticed Volvox's subjects cleaning and preserving the ziggurats, synagogues, mosques, candis, stupas, wats, shrines. and temples, they worked slowly and cleaned very carefully while Volvox used his telekinesis to clean the roofs on the tall structures while the creatures that could float and fly went up and cleaned them. Everybody cleaned carefully while the world's natives came closer and watched, they finished after a while and Volvox's creatures and the gods, angels, and demons put offerings in them, "What people doing?" Yona inquired, "Preserving memories, the humans built these to pray to us and worship us when they were still a new species and didn't learn about science yet." Gabriel explained, "I gotta say, they look old." Twilight Sparkle said, "They are, most of them are thousands of years old." Belphegor replied, "I figured, some of us in this world are over a thousand years old, too." Dragon Lord Torch commented, "Really?" a succubus asked, "Indeed, me and my sister here are over a thousand years old, so is our mentor there." Princess Luna responded while pointing to Princess Celestia and Star Swirl the Bearded, "My companions from the past are over a thousand years old, too." Star Swirl the Bearded added, "Wow, most of us live several decades before dying." a male troll remarked, "It's the same with most of us, too." Sunburst replied, Volvox and his subjects continued cleaning the old architecture and soon finished, they then put offerings on the pedestals in front of statues while the world's natives watched, Volvox's subjects finished and then went to the human graves and paid their respects to them, they finished and got on with their days. Everybody watched Volvox's subjects in either physical prowess and abilities, magic, psychic powers, or contacting and controlling the souls of the dead while the incubi and succubi worked on how their voices sound and what words to use to charm people, "This is what you all do in your day to day lives?" Ocellus asked, "You got a problem?" Uriel questioned, "It's... just something we don't see here, we spend our days forming friendships and bonds and trying to atone for mistakes and be forgiven, we don't train for combat." Sandbar explained, "Well, the world we're from is dangerous." Raphael stated, "You all never thought about talking things out and trying to forgive and make friends?" Silverstream inquired, "There are some species we have encountered that cannot be reasoned with." a male were-shark responded, everybody watched Volvox's subjects train for combat and then began making more weapons and armor and fortifying their homes, "Yona guess people have little time to decorate." Yona deduced, "I'd understand, us dragons were focused on being warriors and militaristic hundreds of years ago." Smolder responded, "What stopped you guys?" Tom asked, "Things got more peaceful as time passed and those friendship and forgiving ponies became the rulers of the world." Smolder explained, "My country never really developed because we're busy fighting and arguing with one another." Gallus said, "Your country would've been a target for conquering back in ancient times when we were all warlike." Lucifer stated, "Yeah, no thanks." Gallus remarked, "Your species having infighting is not new to us either, every species including our own had infighting at some point, too, even the humans did, they had a lot." Leviathan stated, "How come?" Ocellus asked, "The humans were always divided and fighting, they were never truly united as one." Mammon responded, "Wow." Silverstream remarked, "Come on, guys, they look busy, let's let them train." Sandbar spoke, and they left. The day went on peacefully while some of the world's natives went over to look at the ancient places of worship and architecture, "No pictures." a male ghoul stated, the creatures exclaimed with confusion, "The camera flashes will damage the buildings and relics inside." Tom explained, "Oh." the world's natives said, and they went inside to look at the statues and other pieces of art. They admired the things the humans have created and looked on in awe at the statues, they also found scrolls and saw them written in various languages that they did not understand, "Hey, be careful with those, those are centuries old and fragile, too." Ittan-momen warned, and the unicorns held them up with their telekinesis and moved them slowly. They looked on in surprise at seeing the centuries old writings and art in some of them, they all eventually found a book they could understand and read, "Wow, this is a big book." Autumn Blaze remarked, "Be careful with that, that was a sacred book to the humans." Selaphiel stated, the world's natives looked and saw the book was called Bible, they took turns reading it while Volvox's subjects continued with their days like normal. The sun began to set and the vampires began to slightly transform, they grew fangs and claws while their hairs changed to fur, Princess Celestia noticed and Princess Luna set the sun completely and raised the moon, the vampires changed to were-bat-like creatures while the were-beasts transformed into various forms, the zombies and ghosts also became more active and got power and strength boosts. Princess Celestia watched with great interest while the were-bat vampires flew around and the werewolves howled, the vampires used dark magic while the werewolves practiced their hunting skills on monsters that Shub-Niggurath created, the wakwaks tricked them by sounding louder the farther away they were and quieter the closer they were, they destroyed the monsters and the creatures ate them, everybody rested for the day and Princess Celestia went to sleep. Princess Luna was in the dream realm and saw the foals dreaming about the monsters they saw in the scrolls and images while also being worshiped in the structures the humans built, she smiled while zapping away the scary looking creatures and Outer Gods out of the foals' dreams, she finished and the foals dreamed peacefully while being worshiped by others. The next day came and a different group of people cleaned the places of worship left behind by the humans, they then all went over to pay their respects to the humans and left flowers on the graves, left guns, medals, and flags on the gravestones, or poured alcohol onto some of the gravestones, they then went back to using the technology to examine the microscopic bugs while Hades, Osiris, Anubis, and the Pixiu called the spirits of the dead forward. Various creatures came forward but there were no humans, "Still no humans?" Thor asked, "No, still can't find any, maybe their ghosts have been destroyed after all." Anubis responded, "I hope not, if so, then that means they're gone-gone." Dommiel said, "We've been trying for over a year now and still nothing, their souls may have been destroyed after all, I don't know what we can do to try to bring them back if that turns out to be the case." Tom added, "If only the Count of Saint Germain was still here, we could use his time traveling powers now." Volvox remarked, "Still, I wonder how he didn't foresee his own species' extinction." Zeus stated, "Maybe the extraterrestrials had something to make them immune to his powers." Persephone deduced, "It's possible, me and the others with future seeing powers didn't see them either." Vassago replied, "Didn't the humans ever build a time traveling device?" a female troll asked, "I don't think it was ever completed." the Penanggalan answered, "It wasn't, the humans never figured out how to warp time and space together and make the wormholes go into the past or future, fast traveling and going to other realms was all they could achieve." Amphitrite explained, "Maybe we can help." Starlight Glimmer said as she and Doctor Whooves walked to them together, "You guys have time travel?" Poseidon asked, "More than that, I can alter time and history, too." Starlight Glimmer answered, "I have machines and devices in my home that can be used for time travel as well, I can use them or Starlight Glimmer here can use her magic to go back in time." Doctor Whooves added, "Do they work?" Hades questioned, "Not completely, but maybe we can combine them and magic together." Doctor Whooves suggested, the others agreed and he went to go get them. The world's natives watched while the humanoid creatures under Volvox's rule and Doctor Whooves activated wormhole opening machines and they made a portal to their realm, Starlight Glimmer then cast a spell to look into the Earth's past, everybody saw the world's history pass by and the many now extinct animals, she kept going until the Earth became frozen over, "What the? The humans started appearing around here, where are they?" Tom questioned, Starlight Glimmer continued fast forwarding time but there was not a single human in sight. She looked through history and saw all of the structures built now were now being built by an unknown species that had an insectoid creature as its emblem on their spaceships, every thing was identical and functioned exactly like the things the humans built, Starlight Glimmer used her magic and began looking into alternate histories but saw no humans, "What? Are the humans completely wiped out?" a female ekek exclaimed, Starlight Glimmer could not find a single human and the devices began to overheat and everybody turned them off, "Great wickering stallions! It seems the humans really are wiped out of existence!" Doctor Whooves hollered, Twilight Sparkle's jaw dropped and she quickly teleported to her castle and wrote a note to Sunset Shimmer and sent it to her. She teleported back while Starlight Glimmer kept looking into alternate histories and tried to change the realm's history with her magic but the humans never came back, "It's no use, I can't bring them back." Starlight Glimmer said, the smaller creatures looked on with disbelief while she kept trying to make an alternate historic event, "So, they're gone for good?" the Aswang questioned, "It looks like they are." Starlight Glimmer responded, "Hold on, everyone, I just sent a note to another pony named Sunset Shimmer, she's living in another world with humans in it, too, I'm hoping she's okay and they're not extinct either." Twilight Sparkle announced, "Another realm with humans? The Maker never mentioned anything about that." Volvox responded, "The Maker?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It is the being that created all of us, all of the planets and creatures here were created by it." Michael explained, "This Maker sounds fake to me." Twilight Sparkle responded, "The Maker's real." Volvox reassured, "Well, if this Maker is real, then why hasn't it recreated the humans?" Twilight Sparkle inquired, "We know the species that made the humans extinct is still around, so maybe The Maker is going to erase them from existence and then bring the humans back." Tom deduced, "Well, whatever the reason, hope it contacts us soon, I'd like a word with it, too." Twilight Sparkle responded, and she walked back, "Sorry, everyone, but it looks like the humans are gone for good, no matter how I shape and change your realm's history, all we can do now is wait for Sunset Shimmer to contact us and let us know if her world's humans are still around or not." Starlight Glimmer said, and she left. Volvox and his subjects and looked at the gravestones and paid their respects while everybody else watched while continuing with their days. Twilight Sparkle waited in her castle while walking back and forth in front of the magic mirror and Sunset Shimmer came a few hours later, "Twilight!" Sunset Shimmer chirped and while reeled up on her hind legs, she almost fell over but stood on all fours and she and Twilight Sparkle hugged each other, "Come on, Sunset, the new creatures are outside." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they teleported. Volvox's subjects rested and Twilight Sparkle appeared with Sunset Shimmer, "Alright, everyone, this is Sunset Shimmer, she's from this world but living in a world full of humans." Twilight Sparkle announced, "Hi, everyone, Twilight wrote to me about you guys' situation, and no, the humans in my world are not extinct." Sunset Shimmer stated, "Hmm, another world with humans, maybe there's more realms The Maker has no control over." Volvox deduced, "Here, I'll show you all how my world's human's are." Sunset Shimmer stated, and she cast a spell and made a screen appear with her horn. Volvox's subjects saw images of the humans in Sunset Shimmer's world and their attentions were caught instantly, "Wow, what a variety of skin and hair colors." Dommiel remarked, "You guys' humans weren't different colors." Sunset Shimmer asked, "No, they were, but just pale skin, peach colored skin, a slightly dark brownish skin, and black skin, same with hair, most were either white, gray, black, brown, red, or blonde colors, they didn't have the many different skin and hair colors of your world's humans." Gabriel explained, "Oh." Sunset Shimmer said, and she showed them more, Volvox's subjects noticed the humans wore somewhat similar clothing to their world's humans, they also saw the humans were constantly being entertained and using electronics, "I notice you all watching carefully, something catch your minds?" Sunset Shimmer questioned, "Your world's humans sure does use a lot of electronics and play a lot of games and music." Pazuzu remarked, "Yours didn't?" Sunset Shimmer questioned, "They did, but not as much, our humans were warriors at heart, a lot of them spent their times fighting and training to get stronger." Beelzebub replied, "Oh, we have gym and sports for that." Sunset Shimmer said, "Ours fought in real life or death situations." Belphegor stated, "Yeah, no thanks." Sunset Shimmer remarked, and she finished showing them the images, "Well, what do you guys think?" Sunset Shimmer inquired, "Your humans seem to be very different from our own, behavior and appearance wise, they would likely act like a completely different species if handed to us, so they would not be suitable replacements." Volvox answered, "Oh, well, I don't think they would want to leave their home either, that's all I have, I'll be going back to Equestria now." Sunset Shimmer stated, and she and Twilight Spoarkle teleported. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna watched the new creatures from a balcony and noticed them apologizing to the graves and began cleaning them, all of them gathered together while the ghouls got a projector and began playing recordings of the humans studying and learning about medicine. The picture changed to the humans healing the sick and injured creatures with their new medicines and performed surgury on some of them, the sisters' eyes' widened a little. The picture changed to creatures trying to heal their own kind with magic and alchemy but nothing worked, the humans used medicines and surgery to heal them and then taught the other creatures, they fused their medical advancements and healing magic together and made breakthrough medicines, they then added alchemy and chemistry into them and made breakthrough discoveries. The picture changed to humans taking in orphaned creatures of other species' and taking care of them in their homes, they also fed them and treated the creatures like it was one of their own children and siblings, the humans also let them visit places and meet their own kind and other creatures. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna watched the pictures change to the humans training and exercising while also using many different types of weapons, their eyes' widened when they saw images of tanks and artillery, the humans fired their weapons and caused massive destruction with them. The picture changed to the humans fighting one another and causing lots of destruction while trying to conquer one another, their weapons and tactics of warfare caused destruction in non-human civilizations as well, the humans fought the other creatures at times but were focused on destroying themselves in most recordings. They also saw humans having police organizations with some of them trying to police the world, most of the humans wanted to enforce laws to keep the world at peace while several of them were violent and using the law as a means to attack other creatures, they were destroyed quickly by the angels and demons while the good humans tried to enforce laws to keep the world at peace and help others. Images of the humans training for combat throughout history played and they had many different fighting styles and weapons, they used them on the non-human creatures and it worked on a few of them while most of the creatures were able to counter them or had no effect on them. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna kept watching and saw nothing of interest until the recording showed the humans making art and building the architects in the land now, they watched with awe and surprise at seeing the humans have built the architectures by hand and using simple machines but noticed some of the human civilizations also had slaves. The humans got exhausted and Volvox used his telekinesis to help the humans at times, the places of worship took years to build all over the world and more and more were added as centuries passed, the humans prayed, worshiped, and made offerings to the other creatures, their attentions got caught when they saw some of the native animals were revered by them as well. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna watched with shock when they saw some of the humans offered sacrifices to the gods appease them and they took them, they also performed rituals and black magic and spells that involved sacrificing someone, their eyes' widened and wings unfolded. The recording finished and everybody put it away, Volvox looked up at the sky and had sorrowful expressions on his three faces, most of his subjects went to go sleep while the world's natives also went home and slept. A few uneventful days passed and the Mane Six came to the land with Spike holding a bunch of papers and various tools, "What is this?" Rōjinbi asked, "I don't think you all noticed, but we are a land of friendship and forgiveness, that recording we saw a few days ago made us realize that you all are rather violent and seem to have a thirst for violence and war, that is not how we do things in this world, until you all go back to your world, you will adapt to our ways." Twilight Sparkle explained, "Um... you do realize we're mostly peaceful now, right?" Satan asked, "Mostly isn't enough, our world's magic is powered by love and friendship, things like revenge and war will weaken our world's magic." Twilight Sparkle answered, "Do they have any serious consequences?" Volvox questioned, "Yes, they do, if we're divided and fight, it will summon these creatures called windigos, they are evil spirits that feed off of hatred and fighting, they will put the world into an eternal winter and freeze us with their blizzards." Twilight Sparkle revealed, "I would like to see proof of that claim." Tom said, Volvox's subjects agreed, "Sure, the ponies over a thousand years old can show you, I'll go get them." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she teleported, she reappeared with Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Star Swirl the Bearded, they cast projections of historic events of their country and they saw the unicorns, Pegasi, and earth ponies fighting while Discord triggered some of the later ones, the windigos came and began freezing Equestria, "They don't look too strong." Typhon remarked, "They're very powerful, only creatures that can survive in their blizzard ridden world are the yaks." Twilight Sparkle responded, "Hello." the yuki-onnas said while ice and snow surrounded them, "Plus, several of us are gods, we can destroy them easily." Azathoth added, "Should we go along with their friendship lessons, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "Well, as powerful as we are if we attack together, we and the humans have always said that when we're in a foreign environment, we have to adapt to the cultures and customs of that area, so let's go along for now and try to avoid causing any unnecessary drama or violence." Volvox responded, "Thank you, we'd like to keep things peaceful, too, so my five friends here will start teaching you all our ways and hope we get along." Twilight Sparkle stated, and Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack stepped forward. The Mane Six taught Volvox's subjects their elements and all of them became confused, "Um, this is basic stuff for kids." a male orc commented, "I mean, most of our students are youngins." Applejack responded, "Friendship? Loyalty? I find those easier to learn from experience than being told by someone or read out of a book." Volvox remarked, "No worries, I got assignments to teach them loyalty." Rainbow Dash assured, and everybody watched. Fluttershy showed Volvox's subjects animals native to Equestria backed away from Volvox's subjects, "It's okay, some of them are scary looking, but they're actually really nice and friendly people." Fluttershy said, her pets came out from behind her and looked around, the demons, zombies, were-beasts, cyclopes, Laestrygonians, trolls, onis, namahages, nure-onnas, onikumas, ekeks, wakwaks, ogres, goblins, yowies, wendigoes, Volvox's pukwudgies, mngwas, nandi bears, skunk apes, Volvox's Cerberus, Orthrus, Volvox's Hydra, Volvox's Chimera, Volvox's Minotaur, Volvox's Sphinx, the Nemean Lion, the Erymanthian Boar, Volvox's griffon, Volvox's hippogriff, the Colchian Dragon, Ladon, the Caucasian Eagle, Shuten-dōji, the Gashadokuro, Yamata-no-Orochi, the Ushi-oni, Onihitokuchi, the Aswang, Volvox's Manticore, Azhi Dahaka, the Thetis Lake Monster, Volvox's Yeti, Volvox's Bunyip, Piasa, Kongamato, Grootslang, the Jersey Devil, and the Chupacabra all snickered while smiling and showing their teeth. Fluttershy's pets quickly backed away and hid behind her, "That wasn't very nice of you all, they are very welcoming cretures who were looking forward to meeting you all." Fluttershy reprimanded, her pets peeked out from behind her and Volvox's creatures walked closer to them and they went behind Fluttershy. Fluttershy stared at them but it had no effect on any of Volvox's creatures, "*gasp*! It... didn't... work." Fluttershy quivered, "You really thought that would scare us?" Typhon questioned, "It scares my pets and wild animals into immediate obedience." Fluttershy responded, "Well, my wild animal subjects here have years of experience in hunting, and some of them are sentient like you guys, a few of them are also Typhon's children, of course staring sharply at them isn't going to intimidate them." Volvox said, "Also look at how small you are when compared to some of us, some of us can eat you in one gulp." Dommiel added, Fluttershy quivered, "And my subjects, what did I say about not causing any unnececessary drama or conflicts?" Volvox reprimanded, the creatures stopped showing their teeth and behaved, "Thank you, I'll go ahead and continue, I think you all will be interested in our world's animals." Fluttershy stated, and she continued. She introduced Iron Will to them alongside their world's Cerberus, an orthros, Hydra, Chimera, Sphinx, a cockatrice, a manticore, a yeti, a roc, a phoenix, jackalopes, pukwudgies, and their world's Bunyip, "They have the same name as us." Volvox's Sphinx commented, "Yes, as you all can see, we have our world's versions of you guys, too, some are similar while some are completely different." Fluttershy responded, Equestria's pukwudgies and Volvox's pukwudgies glared and growled at one another, Equestria's pukwudgies shot their quills at them while Volvox's pukwudgies cast fire magic. Twiilght Sparkle and Volvox separated their pukwudgies from one another and they continued growling at one another, "Sorry about that, but our world's pukwudgies are aggressive and territorial." Twilight Sparkle explained, "Ours are basically the same." Volvox replied, his pukwudgies aimed bows and fired poisonous arrows and Volvox held them with his telekinesis, they heard fighting in the air and saw Equestria's roc and Volvox's Roc fighting one another, Rarity separated them with her telekinesis, they noticed the world's phoenix and Volvox's Phoenix were getting along and making art in the sky with their fire, Equestria's jackalope was also accepted by Volvox's jackalopes, "Well, look at that, looks like some of 'em managed to spark a friendship already." Applejack said, the classes resumed and Volvox's subjects learned nothing. Rainbow Dash tried to have the world's natives and Volvox's subjects work together, she tried to have them build a shack first and the dwarfs built one easily, she tried to have them row a boat next and Ikuchi sunk it with its long body, everybody struggled to swim and the changelings, seaponies, mermen, mermaids, ningyos, and the Nuckelavee carried everyone to the surface and Bigfoot and the Thetis Lake Monster pulled them out, "I guess that counts as teamwork in a way." Rainbow Dash remarked, the students waited for their next assignment while she tried to come up with something. Applejack taught about honesty and apples while Volvox's subjects were bored, "Sorry, y'all, but Ah'm really tryin' mah best here." Applejack said, "It's not that, it's just the way you're teaching honesty is almost like you're trying to teach a four year old, and there's too many different types of apples for us to memorize them all." a female fairy explained, "Oh, Ah see y'all's points, Ah couldn't memorize all of mah world's apples at first either." Applejack stated, "Out of curiosity, you're the most down-to-earth member of your group, why aren't you the leader for?" Persephone inquired, "Well, first of all, Ah ain't royalty like how Twilight is, and Ah'm just an earth pony, Ah ain't an alicorn like her either, so in terms of magic and raw strength, she's got me beat." Applejack answered, "You don't seem to have wings either." Poseidon observed, "That too, Ah can't fly either." Applejack replied, "You have anything else you can teach us?" a succubus asked, "Well." Applejack responded, and she began to teach them how to grow apples, how to harvest, and how to cook, bake, and make apple dishes. Rarity taught Volvox's subjects how to make clothes and how to share, the vampires became very interested in her class and began making fancy aristocratic clothes, "Oh, bravo, you all have such exquisite tastes in fashion, though I think you all should use more colors than mostly black." Rarity said, the vampires decided to replace the black clothes with white and red, "Well, wouldn't be my first choice, but I must admit the colors do blend rather nicely." Rarity commented, she looked at the other creatures and noticed the incubi and succubi making inappropriate clothing, she screamed and everybody looked at her, "What are these provactive outfits?! These are the opposite of fashionable! This is the worst possible thing! The! Worst! Possible! Thing!" Rarity ranted while the other creatures just looked at her and crickets chirped, the incubi and succubi looked at one another in confusion, "You all don't take fashion very seriously, do you?" Rarity asked, "Well, us vampires and the succubi and incubi do, but as for the others, not really, we don't really have the time to think about fashion when we spend a lot of our time either fighting or working in dangrous environments." a male vampire explained, "As for us, we're more focused on elegance, we wish to look nice when using swords and bows, our architecture being pristine and pleasing to the eyes, we do have fashion, but we prioritize other forms of art over it." a female elf stated, "Elegance, you say? I might be able to make something." Rarity said, and she tried to teach them about generosity. Pinkie Pie was trying to make Volvox's creatures laugh with jokes and her party cannon, they all just watched her and only went along whenever she needed a partner, "Why is nobody laughing?!" Pinkie Pie fumed, "Your humor seems more suited for human toddlers." a male teenage ghoul answered, "Human toddlers?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Yeah, different species' here have different senses of humor from one another, yours would've been more suited for the now extinct humans." a male were-bear child responded, "Well, can you at least partake in the welcoming party I prepared for you all?" Pinkie Pie requested, "Might as well." Volvox answered, and her party cannon went off, she gave out confectioneries to the creatures and the vampires, elves, incubi, and succubi handled them fine while the others gagged and vomited, "*gasp* Did I add something bad?!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, "Most of my subjects cannot digest sugar." Volvox responded, "Oh, fruity dishes, it is then." Pinkie Pie said, and she walked away and came back with bags of chips while the gods noticed some kind of power within her. Volvox's subjects were able to handle the chips and salty foods fine and some of them had fruits, "Aren't you pointy teeth creatures going to try any?" Pinkie Pie asked, "We can only digest meat." a male oni replied, the world's natives looked at them while exclaiming, "You guys eat meat?!" Silverstream inquired, "Don't you?" Volvox asked, "No, nocreature in this world eats meat, only ones that do are wild animals or those that eat fish, but as for sentient and civilized creatures, no, none of us need to consume meat to survive." Twilight Sparkle explained, "So you all survive on plants." Tom commented, "And gems." Spike added, "We don't eat meat, animals are our friends, too, and eating them would be destroying our friendship." Twilight Sparkle explained, "Okay, I'm not sure how that logic works." Michael remarked, "How about you? Do you have anything to teach?" Beelzebub asked, "Actually, I do, I teach my students how friendships come in all shapes, sizes, and forms." Twilight Sparkle responded, "You teach teenagers?" Dommiel questioned, "Yes, why?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Your subjects and teachings seem more suited for toddlers." a female dwarf replied, "What do you guys teach your creatures around my students' age?" Twilight Sparkle inquired, "Mating, how to reproduce, fight, cook, hunt, carpentry, house building, blacksmithing, medicine, anatomy, arts of all kinds if we have the time." a female fairy answered, "Wow, that's a lot." Fluttershy remarked, "Do you guys have conuseling?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "What kind of counseling?" Lucifer questioned, "You all come see me, we sit, you talk out your problems, and I give you advice and words of encouragement and comfort." Starlight Glimmer explained, "What kind of problems?" Tom inquired, "Relationship problems, social anxieties, friendship problems, and for the changelings, identity crisis." Starlight Glimmer answered, Volvox, his subjects, the gods, angels, demons, and fallen angels looked at her with unamused expressions, "You guys don't sound very strong mentally." Persephone remarked, "Don't you guys have counseling?" Starlight Glimmer questioned, "Yes, but not for things like relationship problems or friends falling out, well, the humans did, but the rest of us had counseling for things like violence and war." Volvox responded, "Aren't you all bothered by social stuff or personal relationship problems or failures?" Starlight Glimmer asked, Volvox and his subjects shook their heads, "Seems we can't really reach an understandin' after all." Applejack said, "What do you say, Volvox?" a male oni asked, "Let's try to go along, we have to adapt to this world's ways until we go back home." Volvox replied, "You do know we started this because of that recording you all watched of the humans and their destructive ways, right?" Twilight Sparkle reminded, "That wasn't the point of it, it was to remember them, the humans had good traits and bad traits, some wanted to make the world a better place, some wanted to cause trouble and destruction, the species was a mixed bag, just like the rest of the species' here." Zeus replied, "Oh, well, we can't really teach you guys anything, but if you all are still intersted in our school, it's over there in Equestria." Twilight Sparkle stated as she pointed to it and the others looked, "Come on, everyone, let's go ahead and head back." Twilight Sparkle said, and the world's natives left the land, "Wait a bit for now, let's see if they actually have anything worth learning." Volvox stated, the others agreed and they went on with their days. The next day came and Volvox's subjects watched Equestria's School of Friendship, the only class that caught their interests was Fluttershy teaching about Equestria's fauna on how they behave, what they eat, how to take care of them if owned as pets, how to tame them, and which ones are dangerous, they listened to Fluttershy tell her class about the animals and they smiled. She continued teaching and showed the students the smaller animals first, she also had Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle demonstrate how to clean and groom some of the animals while she cleaned and groomed the bigger and more dangerous animals, they then went elsewhere and Volvox's subjects watched them. Fluttershy led her students into the Everfree Forest and she began teaching the students about where the animals lived and how to behave if they encounter them, she then assigned homework to her students and they left. Volvox's subjects smiled and decided to watch her class and then looked at their provisions and saw meat was getting low, they decided to go ahead and rest for the day and relaxed until it was night time and most of the creatures slept. A few days passed and Volvox and his subjects watched Fluttershy tend to the animals and teach students about them, the carnivores under Volvox's rule began crafting ideas on how to hunt and mostly focused on the marine animals around their land, they got the fishing poles and nets the humans made and began fishing while the merfolks and ningens swam underwater and caught some of the fish and brought it up to the surface. The carnivores ate the fish while also going through the little meat they had left while the seaponies came to the surface and looked at them with surprise. Volvox's griffon and hippogriff flew and caught fish and ate them, they continued catching more and dropped them down to the others and they ate them, the mermen and mermaids sat on the land and ate the fish they caught. The ningens continued swimming through the sea and caught as much fish as they could while avoiding the fishing hooks and nets the wendigoes, were-beasts, and onis were using, they caught several fish and threw it up onto Volvox's land and the carnivores ate, they then came up and ate the remaining fish. Volvox's subjects caught fish pretty easily while getting hundreds of small fish with the nets, Fluttershy noticed and tears fell from her eyes at seeing them eat the fish while the other ponies and creatures gagged and some vomited. The herbivores began picking the plants on the ground and ate them while some ate nuts and berries, the world's natives observed them carefully while Twilight Sparkle took notes. Volvox then looked at how much food was left for everybody and then checked everybody's water and saw it was low, he used his telekinesis to fill the stone containers and then put them through filters the humans made to purify them and his subjects drank them. The vampires drank blood that they kept stored in their castles and the world's natives almost vomited, everybody was well fed and they all rested for the rest of the day and everybody slept. The next day came and the Mane Six and Cutie Mark Crusaders arrived, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, Volvox and his subjects looked at her, "You all owe Fluttershy and the seaponies an apology for yesterday." Twilight Sparkle announced, "For what?" Dommiel asked, "Those fish you all caught and ate yesterday were her friends, we're lightening your punishments to apologies since you all don't understand this world's ways, if you all did, all of you would be jailed right now." Twilight Sparkle explained while Fluttershy cried, "Were those fishes anybody's pets?" Volvox questioned, "No, they're our friends, they're kept out of homes and cages so they can be free." Apple Bloom explained, Volvox and his subjects looked on with confusion, "They looked like wild animals to us." Lucifer remarked, "They still had homes, families, and civilizations." Scootaloo stated, "We said before that some of us can only digest meat and nothing else, they will die if they consume anything else." Tom reminded, "Don't you guys have any meat of your own?" Sweetie Belle questioned, "It's starting to get really low, hence why we hunted." Michael explained, "You didn't have to eat our friends." Fluttershy lamented, "How were we supposed to know they were your friends?" Asmodeus asked, the ponies became speechless, "See, there you go, they were just wild animals to us, and our meat supplies were getting low, if we didn't get anything, my meat eaters would die." Volvox explained, "Ugh, your creator just had to make you all consume nothing but meat." Rarity exclaimed, "Um, do you guys have any alternatives?" Rainbow Dash asked, Volvox and his subjects shook their heads, "Well, no eating our friends, I'll try to make something with my magic, now apologize." Twilight Sparkle demanded, Volvox's subjects eyes' widened, "Seriously?" a male orc asked, "Just go along, we may not understand their ways, but this is still their home and land." Volvox stated, and they did, "Thank you, don't do it again, you all will be arrested next time." Twilight Sparkle said, "Is that why you all are here?" Gabriel asked, "Nah, we noticed y'all watchin' Fluttershy, so we decided to teach y'all about our animals and pets." Applejack answered, Volvox and his subjects agreed and smiled, "Great, let's start." Twilight Sparkle said, and they did. Fluttershy, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle walked forward and showed small bugs first, "These cutesy wootsy bugs are easy to maintain and take care of, they only have to be fed small meals and they're easy to clean." Fluttershy instructed, she stopped for a moment when she saw the carnivores smiling and bearing their teeth, "No! Don't you dare eat my pets!" Fluttershy warned, the were-animals changed to their animal forms and her pets backed away in fear, "Whoa, Ah sure wouldn't wanna be near 'em either." Apple Bloom stated, the skinwalkers walked forward and they changed to various animals. They walked to Fluttershy's pets and they sniffed them and got defensive, "Wow, so Fluttershy's pets can smell them and find them." Scootaloo stated, "It is how they determine who is a part of their family and who isn't." Fluttershy explained, "So that's what they do, transform into animals, just like the changelings." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "I think each one can only change to one type of animal though." Sweetie Belle replied, "Um, is it okay if we call you guys changelings?" Pinkie Pie requested, "Why?" a male skinwalker in a wolf form asked, "Well, your kind's name sounds unpleasant." Scootaloo answered, "Yeah, skinwalker is kind of scary sounding." Sweetie Belle added, "Really? The dragons thought it sounded cool." Smolder said, the ponies looked at the Dragon Lands and Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Garble, and the other dragons nodded in approval while smiling, "They will get confused for our world's changelings though, I think it will be best if we just call them animal shifters since the name 'skinwalker' will give our country's foals nightmares." Twilight Sparkle stated, "I'll take it." a female skinwalker in lion form stated, and the others nodded, "Um, you all don't have to agree if you don't like it." Twilight Sparkle commented, "Best we go along, plus, Volvox and the gods are watching us and will probably strike us down if we sitr up any drama in this world." a male skinwalker in tiger form replied, "Well, if you all are okay with it and wish to keep things peaceful, alright then." Twilight Sparkle stated, and Fluttershy taught more about her pets, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Volvox's Sphinx, Volvox's Roc, Piasa, Kongamato, and the Stymphalian birds flew to them and scared them, "It's okay, everybird, they won't harm you." Fluttershy reassured and they flew to them, they greeted one another while Fluttershy noticed Harry shaking at seeing the were-bears, onikumas, and skinwalkers in bear forms surround him, "Don't worry, Harry, they're just curious about you and won't harm you guys." Fluttershy stated, he relaxed and saw they continued watching him. Fluttershy and the Cutie Mark Crusaders taught Volvox and his subjects about the world's animals and the timberwolves caught their attentions, "These are really dangerous animals that will attack things on sight." Fluttershy said, Volvox's pukwudgies cast fire magic on them and burned them, "Well, Ah guess that's one way to deal with 'em." Applejack commented, "These here are the vampire fruit bats, you turn into a vampire if they bite you." Fluttershy stated as she presented them, the Stymphalian birds looked at one another, "Well, that's all we have, if possible, we'd like for you all to visit our countries and continue making friends and staying peaceful." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they left, "What do you say, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "Let's have a vote." Volvox suggested, the others agreed and they began. The rulers were meeting in Canterlot Castle and gathered at a table, "I have called you all here to talk things out and whether should we welcome the newcomers into our countries or not." Princess Celestia said, "Absolutely not, they ate our fish yesterday, they are not welcome in Seaquestria." Queen Novo stated, "I agree with mom here, those fish they ate were some we knew since childhood." Princess Skystar added, "What about the rest of you?" Princess Luna asked, "I suppose they would be okay, aside from the meat eaters, the others seem fine." Shining Armor commented, "I think we can find an alternative for them with our magic, but I think we can let all of them in, they haven't attacked us or anything, so maybe they're okay to welcome." Princess Cadance suggested, "I think I can let them in, as long as some of those dangerous looking ones and ones made of fire don't damage the country." Princess Ember said, "The ones made with fire can't enter Griffonstone due to our stuff being made mostly of straw." Grampa Gruff remarked, "Same with Mount Aris, they will burn our homes if they enter." Sky Beak added, "Kirin Grove, too, us having fire powers is what destroyed our first homes in the first place." Rain Shine spoke, "Yak worried fire creatures, ice creatures, wind creatures, lightning creatures, and giant creatures will destroy Yakyakistan, so no enter for them." Prince Rutherford announced, "Well, the changelings are pretty scared of them, but maybe we should try." King Thorax stated, "Let's try, brother, maybe we can learn something about them." Pharynx said, "I guess." King Thorax stated, "Alright then, that was settled rather quickly, I'll go ahead and inform them." Princess Celestia said, and she flew out of Canterlot and to the new land. Volvox and his subjects trained in combat or made art and Princess Celestia arrived and landed, "We have just had a discussion on our countries welcoming you all, due to you all eating fish yesterday, none of you are welcome in Seaquestria, those with fire bodies and powers cannot enter Griffonstone, Yakyakistan, Mount Aris, and Kirin Grove due to their entire architectures being made of flammable materials, those made of ice, wind, and lightning or have ice, wind, or lightning powers also cannot enter Yakyakistan due to their country being all snow and blizzards and storms can destroy their homes. You all are welcome everywhere else as long as none of you cause trouble." Princess Celestia reported, Volvox and his subjects looked at the other countries and noticed how different it looked from their world, "This world seems peaceful compared to Earth." Azathoth commented, "Yeah, especially the main land, looks like something out of a kid's tale." Zeus added, "From an artistic perspective, all of the bright colors and cutesy imagery is a bit overwhelming." a female vampire commented, "From what we've seen, it seems the country is filled with super peaceful and forgiving natives while its animals are all peaceful herbivores, almost like the place was created by someone who hates violence and fighting of all kinds." a male were-badger stated, "I wouldn't agree though, the main country also has birds of prey in it, too, so some of its animals are dangerous and hunt." Dommiel reminded, "Even so, it doesn't change the fact that the land is mostly big on friendship, forgiveness, and being pacifists, the humans had a saying about places and times like that making weak people." Volvox said, Equestria's natives looked at them with disapproval, "Seeing how they have magic and control nature, that might not apply to them, it seems to be the opposite for them, peaceful and good times make them stronger." Tom spoke, "Well, lucky them, if we were like that, we'd be weak and wiped out easily." Volvox said, "Don't forget that we can still become extinct due to powerful forces of nature, that's what wiped out our world's original animals." Beelzebub reminded, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and Morgawr looked down, "Well, let's remain here for now, we'll migrate when our food and resources get low." Volvox instructed, "How much longer till the wormhole opener can be used again?" Tom questioned, "Close to recharged, we can go home soon." a male elf answered, "Good, we got an alien species to wipe out when we get back." Selaphiel reminded, the others nodded while the ponies looked at them with disapproval, Volvox and his subjects focused on their own land and did not visit the others and the rest of the day was peaceful and quiet. The next day came and everything on the new land suddenly began changing, the inanimate objects changed to different inanimate objects while others flew around, the gods, angels, and demons used their powers to find the source and saw Discord flying around through the air while his body moved like a snake's, he continued causing chaos and Apep began getting stronger, Zeus threw lightning bolts at Discord and he dodged them easily, Thor then tried to send lightning strikes at him with his hammer and he dodged them, Odin managed to stab Discord's hair with his spear and pin him onto the ground, "What kind of being is this?" Typhon asked, "Oh, don't mind me, I'm just trying to spice things up and make this place more fun." Discord explained, "This is your idea of fun?" a male dwarf asked, "Why, yes, a little mischief never hurts to have." Discord replied, "You're being more annoying than fun." Volvox remarked, "Oh, come on now, where are your senses of humor?" Discord questioned, "Do others in this world find you funny?" a male troll questioned, "Of course, you all already met my dear best friend, Fluttershy, and she taught you about our animals, so I thought now would be a good time to introduce myself." Discord explained, Volvox and his subjects looked at him with bewilderment, "You? Best friends with that yellow horse who is always quiet and gets scared easily?" Mammon inquired, "Don't question our friendship." Discord warned, the people shrugged and Volvox moved Discord to Fluttershy's home with his telekinesis. The day went on as normal until Discord reappeared and multiplied while laughing, he caused more mischief and Azathoth and Yog-Sothoth tried erasing him from existence but Discord multiplied more and remained. Apep began warping reality to counter Discord's powers while absorbing the chaos he created, "Ooh, a person with powers like mine, this will be fun." Discord remarked, and he began using his powers more. Discord made chocolate rain fall out of clouds made of cotton candy and changed the nearby waters to fruit punch while Apep summoned earthquakes and tidal waves while changing the fruit punch ocean to lava and made lightning come out of the skies. Discord absorbed the lightning into himself and he grew in size while his laughter echoed, he raised his arms and made chocolate pudding burst out of the ground while Apep got empowered by the chaos and made a meteor fall out of the sky and onto Discord. Discord slithered out while laughing and made all of the buildings and inanimate objects fly around while Volvox and the others who had psychic powers quickly put them down, Discord summoned book pages that flew around while Apep shot small suns out of geysers and heated up the world, Discord changed them to big ice cream scoops. He then made cakes fall from the sky and Apep used his wind powers to blow them elsewhere, "Okay, I'll stop here, that was pretty fun." Discord stated, and he changed everything back to normal and disappeared, "How annoying." Set remarked, everybody nodded, "How's the wormhole opener?" Volvox asked, a female ghoul checked it, "It's fine." the female ghoul reported, "Any damages done to it?" Dommiel questioned, "We're not seeing any." a male wendigo answered, "Good, well, come on, we got some cleaning to do." Tom stated, and they began. Volvox and his subjects checked the humans' graves and made sure they were alright, Anubis made the skeletons float and everybody counted each one, they discovered every human was still present and buried them. Volvox's subjects undid the damages Discord caused and noticed Fluttershy standing by, "I'm terribly sorry for the destruction Discord caused, while he is my friend, I can't control him, everyone else has an uneasy alliance with him." Fluttershy explained, "It's not hard to see why, he's strong enough to be a god." Stolas remarked, "Is everyone okay?" Fluttershy asked, "We're fine, but he damaged much of our land." Volvox responded, "He's the spirit of chaos, orderly and peaceful things not only bore him, but will also make him fade from existence." Fluttershy explained, "If he's always like that, then perhaps erasing him from existence would've been for the best." Shub-Niggurath remarked, "I heard that!" Discord hollered from far away while his voice echoed, "Anyway, if you all migrate to Equestria and visit me, you all will have to get used to him." Fluttershy stated, "Probably best we avoid him." Volvox replied, the others agreed, "Well, we won't force you guys to visit us, but we would at least like to remain on good terms." Fluttershy stated, "As long we remain at peace and don't go to war, we're fine." Volvox said, "Good, we would like that, too." Fluttershy commented, and she flew away while Volvox and his subjects continued cleaning their land. The next day came and Volvox and his subjects did their daily routine of paying respects to the humans, praying, cleaning, and making offerings at the places of worship, and training for combat, they began preserving their meat since it was starting to get really low, they looked at the foreign lands and saw Twilight Sparkle was trying to create a meat substitute while Sunset Shimmer told her the nutritions in them alongside their textures, she had a hard time making it and tried transforming various inanimate objects into meat. She sighed and teleported to the land with the meat. She handed them out to the carnivores and tried them, they nodded, "This will do." a male cyclops reported, "Oh, thank goodness, I worked for hours making this, I was about to snap if you guys didn't like it." Twilight Sparkle spoke, "It's acceptable." a male were-shark commented, "I'm glad, just no more eating our world's animals." Twilight Sparkle requested, "Very well." Volvox said, "Thank you, just keep it that way, and we'll be fine." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she flew away. The world's natives watched the new land's people and they got on with their days quietly, they heard the Mane Six giving a history lecture and they watched, they saw Star Swirl the Bearded, Flash Magnus, Mistman, Mage Meadowbrook, Somnambula, Rockhoof, Stygian, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Discord with them and they stood at the statues of Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek, and Cozy Glow. They listened and heard the Mane Six talk about their many battles from Nightmare Moon to Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek, and Cozy Glow teaming up, the princesses, Pillars, and Stygian talked about their own adventures, they finished listening when the talks about their enemies and threats stopped while they realized the world was overall more peaceful than their own and they just got on with their days. A few hours passed and everybody had a peaceful day while Sunset Shimmer went over to the land, "Excuse me." Sunset Shimmer said, Volvox and his subjects looked at her, "Would you all like to see the humans in my world?" Sunset Shimmer asked, everybody murmured to one another, "Sure, a glimpse wouldn't hurt." Volvox responded, "Um, you sure you all don't want to meet them?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "How did you get here?" Tom questioned, "Through a magic mirror." Sunset Shimmer responded, "How big is it?" Lucifer asked, Sunset Shimmer conjured an image of the mirror with her magic, "Yeah, probably not, a lot of us are too big to fit through it." Dommiel said, "Why don't me and the other shapeshifters go and disguise ourselves as them just like when we were at war and gathering info?" Popobawa suggested, "Actually, when you go over to that world, you automatically change to either a human or another animal." Sunset Shimmer explained, "Oh." the creatures said, "Let's go ahead and send our most human looking ones then, so incubi, succubi, were-beasts, and swan maidens, go ahead and go." Volvox stated, and they went to Sunset Shimmer, she teleported them to Twilight Sparkle's castle and they went into the mirror. Nyarlathotep made a reflection appear in the ocean and they watched the people who went to Sunset Shimmer's world, the incubi and succubi changed to rabbits, the swan maidens changed to swans, and the were-animals changed to whatever animal they transform into at night, "Whoa, it's probably best I send you marine animal guys back." Sunset Shimmer said, and she pushed them back into the mirror. The others went forward and everybody looked at them, "Don't mind them, everybody, they're just from Equestria's world and here to visit out of curiosity." Sunset Shimmer stated, and they went forward while Volvox's subjects noticed the world's humans using electronics and had earphones on, "What do you guys think so far?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Very different from the humans of our world." a swan maiden answered, the others nodded in agreement, "Well, come on, I'll show you all around campus, animals aren't allowed in the school." Sunset Shimmer said, and they followed her. The incubci, succubi, were-animals, and swan maidens saw the many school clubs and some of the students doing academic work inside the building, "Humans in our world having a school like this was a pretty recent development when they went extinct, most humans went to school to learn how to fight in the early years." a male were-lizard spoke, "Yeah, maybe the only things this school has that our world's humans' schools had were archery and fencing." a female were-jaguar added, "What about sports?" Sunset Shimmer asked as she directed their attentions to Rainbow Dash playing soccer, "Hmm, sometimes, but the most common sport the humans played was wrestling." a succubus replied, "We don't have that at this school." Sunset Shimmer commented, "So, is this all there is to this world?" another swan maiden asked, "Oh, no, there's a lot more, come on, I'll show you all around." Sunset Shimmer responded, and she walked. They left the school and led them elsewhere, "Don't mind us, everybody, I'm just showing them around and will take them home afterwards." Sunset Shimmer announced, and she took them to a nearby studio where the Daring Do movie was filmed, she also took them to stores and restaurants, "So there is some similarites between this world's humans and our world's." another succubus remarked, "What are they?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "The stores and restaurants, our world's humans had them, too." another incubus answered, "Amusement park's this way." Sunset Shimmer spoke, "Our world's humans had those, too." a female were-sloth stated, "Wow, come on, I'll take you guys to see." Sunset Shimmer stated, and she did, she showed them the place and then took them to the beach, "These are the last of the close areas, last place after this is my house." Sunset Shimmer stated, "Can we see the environment you live in?" a male were-cheetah requested, "Sure, this way." Sunset Shimmer responded, and she led them. They arrived and saw Sunset Shimmer lived in a suburban environment, "Hmm, it's no different from our world's humans' recent living environments." a male were-wolverine commented, "Recent?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Throughout history in our world, humans mostly lived as farmers and far away from one another." a third swan maiden explained, "Oh, I've learned from my time here that some of the humans here used to live like that, too." Sunset Shimmer stated, "Well, according to our observations, this world's humans seem more peaceful and relaxed and look to be entertained, unlike our world's humans, who were focused on combat and warfare and almost always training." a third succubus reported, "I think this world's humans were like that thousands of years ago, too." Sunset Shimmer stated, "Oh." the third succubus said, "Anywhere else for us to see?" a third incubus asked, "Well, there is, but they're far from here and would take a long time to go to by foot." Sunset Shimmer replied, the swan maidens flew up and looked around, "You won't see the areas from the sky." Sunset Shimmer commented, and they flew down, "Well, anyway, that's pretty much everything to show around here." Sunset Shimmer stated, "Sunset?" a familiar voice called out, they looked and saw the world's version of the Mane Six coming, Volvox and his subjects took notice and realized it was that world's Fluttershy who called out to her, "I can take them to the animal shelter if you're looking for a home for them." Fluttershy suggested, "Whoa, wait, wait, wait, wait, this isn't what it looks like, they're actually people who came to my home world recently." Sunset Shimmer responded, "What'd ya mean from yer world?" Applejack questioned, "Well..." Sunset Shimmer said and she explained the situation, "Wow, so there's a lot of new creatures in that land?" Spike asked while Volvox and his subjects took notice of his dog form, "Yeah, more than any land I ever saw in Equestria or here, these guys here will probably be leaving soon though." Sunset Shimmer stated, "Don't mind us, we're just seeing how similar and different this world's humans are from our world's." the first swan maiden reported, "Still, another world with humans in it, that's awesome." Rainbow Dash chirped, "Rainbow, darling, remember what Sunset just said, they're extinct." Rarity reminded, "They were no different from this world's, were they?" Pinkie Pie deduced, "Actually, a bit different, this one seems more interested in having fun than surviving." a female were-hyena responded, "Sounds like your world's humans are living in a more dangerous world than ours, I can see that easily from what I heard Sunset said and you guys." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "Well, one thing we have noticed here is a lack of magic when compared to the humans from our world." a fourth succubus stated, "We have magic, but it's usually just us, and we're empowered by gems, the others here are usually empowered by magical artifacts found throughout the world and they usually don't produce good results when used by the humans in this world." Sunset Shimmer explained, "Yeah, a lot of them used magic for evil purposes and we had to destroy the artifacts." Rainbow Dash added, "What can you guys do?" a fourth incubus asked, Twilight Sparkle used telekinesis, Rainbow Dash ran at blinding speeds, Fluttershy communicated with animals, Pinkie Pie made sweets and candies explode by throwing them, Rarity shot gemstones out of her hands, Applejack picked up objects too heavy for a human to pick up, and Sunset Shimmer touched them and saw their memories, "Wow, so there is some magic here in this world." a male were-newt remarked, "Yeah, but not much, we're pretty much all there is left." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Thank you for showing us, we'll be going back now." the second swan maiden stated, and they and Sunset Shimmer went back to Equestria while their friends said bye to them, Nyarlathotep made the reflection in the ocean disappear and they waited for the others to return. They came back and went to Volvox's land, "Did you all see what it was like over there?" Sunset Shimmer asked, Volvox and his subjects nodded, "Living environment is a bit similar, but they seem to care more about having fun and being friends, very little magic and no spiritual powers." Volvox stated, "Were you all happy to see humans again?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Well, they are different from ours, much more variety in skin and hair colors, but yes, it was nice and sad at the same time to see a species extinct in our world still thrives elsewhere." Tulzscha answered, "Well, I'm glad, contact me in Equestria if you all wanna see them again." Sunset Shimmer stated, and she teleported back to Equestria, the rest of the day remained uneventful and peaceful. The next day came and the wormhole opener was fully recharged, "Okay, we can go home now." a male oni said, "Everyone, stand by and be on guard in case something hostile comes through." Volvox ordered, and they did while the world's natives watched. A female ghoul activated the wormhole opener and set the coordinates, white electricity appeared and the land became distorted and a strange object appeared, "Something's coming through!" Gabriel reported, and they got ready. A spaceship with the insectoid emblem of the species that wiped out the humans came through and began flying around, it shot beams everywhere that destroyed the land and structures, Volvox shot his hellfire blasts from his three mouths at it while Zeus throw thunderbolts at it and the pukwudgies shot arrows and fire at it. The flying ship shot bullets, lasers, and missiles everywhere while dumping chemical agents and firebombs out of its underside. Everybody with long-range attacks either shot or threw their weapons at it but a force field deflected everything, the angels and demons flew to it and got on it, they began stabbing their weapons through the spacecraft and took out its engines. The spaceship continued firing its weapons while telekinesis was used to make it fly again, Michael flew and cut the spaceship in half with his flaming sword. The pieces fell and everybody saw the aliens were dark blue insectoid creatures with four arms, two legs, eight octopus-like tentacles coming out of their backs, they were hunchbacked and their heads were shaped like wolverine heads with four thick tendrils under their noses and covering their mouths. The aliens began using psychic powers and shot their brainwaves forward that destroyed the land, Thor swung his hammer to shoot lightning at them but they used magical and technological shields to block them, they aimed guns with their back tentacles and fired lasers that destroyed everything they touched, Onihitokuchi tried smashing them with his hands but they held him up and threw him over themselves. Azathoth tried erasing them from existence but the aliens mutliplied themselves with magic and continued attacking, they shot white light out of their eyes' that destroyed everything they touched while also shooting white light projectiles out of their four arms. Volvox and his subjects tried to get them but they ran and flew at blinding speeds while some swam underwater, they created natural disasters with their magic and psychic powers, Volvox his subjects eventually rounded them up and Volvox held them with his telekinesis, the giant creatures slammed their limbs down and smashed them, the aliens reappeared as ghosts and tried to attack but Hades, Anubis, and Pixiu quickly destroyed their souls. Volvox and his subjects sighed with relief while the world's natives watched them, "Everyone alright?" Volvox asked, they nodded, "So that's the species that made the humans extinct." a male orc remarked, "How's the wormhole opener?" a mermaid asked, "We still got enough energy to go back." a female dwarf responded, "Let's go then." Poseidon stated, "You guys don't want any farewell gifts?" Flash Magnus suggested, "No, it's fine, we weren't here that long anyway." a male golem stated, "It never hurts to say goodbye, lad." Rockhoof spoke, "Come on now, you all can at least say farewell." Somnambula suggested, "We didn't really do much here, though." Tom remarked, "That's not a reason not to say goodbye." Mistmane responded, "Yeah, we always bid farewells, even to people who just met." Mage Meadowbrook added, "What about the rest of you?" Dommiel asked, the other creatures native to the world nodded, "You all may have been mostly neutral, but you all won't be forgotten." Stygian stated, "I doubt that." Volvox remarked, "You won't, me and my friends here were still remembered even a thousand years later." Mage Meadowbrook reminded, "Indeed, we wouldn't forget people like you all so easily." Star Swirl the Bearded added, "Alright, we'll take the farewell gifts." Volvox stated, and they gave it to them, "Is that all? Alright, let's go home." Volvox siad, and the wormhole opener was activated again and they went back home while the world's natives said bye to them, "Good, they're finally gone, I'll never forgive them for eating our fish." Queen Novo remarked, "Well, they were mostly neutral and didn't understand our ways, but they didn't seem like bad people." Princess Luna said, "Indeed, it's too bad we couldn't establish trade and relationships with them." Princess Celestia stated, "Well, hopefully, our lessons in friendship and forgiveness will lead them to having a change of heart and offer friendship to the creatures that came through the first portal." Twilight Sparkle remarked while looking at the sun and smiling. Volvox and his subjects arrived back in their home realm and they immediately began looking for the planet of the aliens that made the humans extinct, they found them and they launched an all-out attack together that made the aliens extinct and Volvox blew up the planet with his hellfire blasts. The Maker tried to remake the humans but discovered it could not and the humans' souls were fused to the now extinct aliens and they had cast a spell to nullify The Maker's powers in reviving them and it was still in effect even after the aliens' extinction, everybody visited the humans' graves and looked down a bit, they then remembered the humans in the world Sunset Shimmer was in and smiled since the species will continue to live on elsewhere.
Canon PersonalityA land ruled by humans were doing a festival, the humans lived in modern day, but were acting like they lived in Medieval times. The country still had a king, his name was Tom, he had an oblong face shape, tan skin, short light black hair, and blue eyes, he wore black and gold armor, he had a gold saber sheathed on his left hip, and was liked by the humans, but every human knew, he was just a figurehead, the true ruler was Emperor Volvox, the emperor of the underworld. Volvox was a quadrupedal, but was extremely big, he was three thousand feet tall, and looked even taller when he stood on his hind legs, three hundred fifty feet wide, three hundred feet long, and had three heads, each head was shaped the same, the back of his head was shaped like semicircle, with the front being shaped like two right triangles that were back-to-back, Volvox also did not have any ears or noses, his six eyes were all monochromatic, and did not have any pupils or irises, they were on the sides of his head, and slanted. The right half of his body and his right head were gray and skeletal, the head did not have eyes, so the spaces were black, and its teeth were white, so were the five claws on his right front foot and right hind foot; the left half of his body and his left head were black and shadowy, the head's eyes and teeth were red, the five claws on his left front foot and left hind foot were also red; his center head, spine, and tail were pink and made out of a parasitic-like skin, his spine had yellow seven pointed star-like organic matter growing on him, each point was sharp and could be detached from his body, so they could be thrown for self-defense reasons, the tip of his tail was also yellow, it shaped like the tip of a spear, the back corners of the tip of Volvox's tail had sharp ends as well, and the center head's eyes and teeth were yellow, he did not wear any clothes or a crown. Volvox controlled the underworld with a strict but fair rule, he had an army, a navy, and an air force, his entire military was massive, his first line of defense was always the zombies and skeletons, since they were mindless, and easy to control telepathically, Volvox did not like them, and he thought there was too many, they do not have a leader. Volvox's next line of defense was the mortals who came to him after they died, they serve under him as slaves as punishment for being wicked when they were alive, while it was consisted of mostly humans, Volvox also had vampires, were-beasts, elves, fairies, dwarfs, giants, Valkyries, trolls, ghouls, goblins, ghosts, and mummies who continued to commit crimes after they died, Judas Iscariot was the leader of them. Volvox's next line of defense were the fallen angels, who were sent to him as punishment, and they serve him, some liked serving him, others did not, and tried to rebel, they were killed by Volvox's demons, the leaders of the fallen angels were Abaddon and Azrael. Volvox's next unit were his demons, he had three different types: the land demons, the aquatic demons, and the aerial demons, he had so many, most people do not dare challenge them, as each one was faster, stronger, and more durable than even the most physically fit humans, but did not have magic of their own, they were led by Lucifer, Leviathan, Satan, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Mammon, and Belphegor. Volvox kept the underworld under watch by seventy two different demons, they ranked lower than the Princes of the Seven Deadly Sins, each one is very powerful, and had different powers from one another, they were Bael, Agares, Vassago, Samigina, Marbas, Valefor, Amon, Barbatos, Paimon, Buer, Gusion, Sitri, Beleth, Leraje, Eligos, Zepar, Botis, Bathin, Sallos, Purson, Morax, Ipos, Aim, Naberius, Glasya-Labolas, Buné, Ronove, Berith, Astaroth, Forneus, Foras, Asmoday, Gaap, Furfur, Marchosias, Stolas, Phenex, Halphas, Malphas, Raum, Focalor, Vepar, Sabnock, Shax, Vine, Bifrons, Vual, Haagenti, Crocell, Furcas, Balam, Alloces, Caim, Murmur, Orobas, Gremory, Ose, Amy, Orias, Vapula, Zagan, Valac, Andras, Flauros, Andrealphus, Kimaris, Amdusias, Belial, Decarabia, Seere, Dantalion, and Andromalius, each one commanded several legions of demons, and one legion had five thousand demons in it, and seventy two of them together commanded a grand total of two thousand seven hundred forty legions.

Volvox had incubi and succubi living as regular people in the underworld, but they fought in wars with him as well, he used to have Formorians as well, but they all fled when their king, Balor, was killed in battle. Volvox also had several traitors in his kingdom as well, but he was betrayed by them because two people betrayed him first, the first one was Apep, which led to Set betraying him as well, along with other creatures, the second traitor was Typhon, his treacherous second-in-command, it led to many creatures and Echidna turning against him as well, but the underworld fought them and got some of their children under their command again. Volvox's second-in-command now was Dommiel, and his bodyguard, he was also one of his advisers, along with Judas, Azrael, Abaddon, Lucifer, Bael, Paimon, Beleth, Purson, Asmoday, Vine, Balam, Zagan, Belial, and Haurus. The underworld had torturers for those who Volvox did not like personally, his chief torturer was a ghoul named Giovi, he was five feet and ten inches tall, he had an inverted triangular face shape, his eyes did not have any irises and pupils, so they were completely white, his ears were pointed, his hair was straight, went down to his scapulae, and black, he did not have bangs, he had a mesomorph body, and was extremely muscular with a six-pack, he was shirtless, and wore black and metallic pants and mid-calf length boots that were also black and metallic. Giovi's species has black claws for their fingers, thumbs, and toes, but the claws on his hands were severed when he was alive, so Giovi used his fire magic and telekinesis to make ten silver knife blades that were sharp on both sides and had sharp tips, he then used telekinesis to put the knife blades on the stumps of his hands and wrapped them in place with white cloth. While Giovi can speak, he chose not to, because he believed actions were more powerful than words. Tom and the humans continue partying with the festival, Volvox was kind enough to let the residents of the underworld party with the humans if they wanted to, but do not cause any chaos or hurt the humans, Volvox has threatened to kill them personally if they hurt the humans, mainly the incubi and succubi went, vampires and were-beasts attended as well, only a few goblins, trolls, ghouls, elves, fairies, and dwarfs attended, bored with the festival. The alchemist of the party was experimenting with alchemy, and made a potion, "Ahem, attention, everyone, please." the alchemist said, and everybody looked at him, "I made the potion I was talking about earlier, I am about to use it." the alchemist said, Tom and the humans were excited, "Please do, we have been dying for some real magic at this festival." Tom replied, the humans agreed, the monsters present agreed as well, "All of my demons, come back to my world just in case happens, we can't risk you guys being exposed if we end up somewhere with monster haters." Volvox said from under the ground, he had a deep and booming voice, he spoke with his center head, the skeletal head and shadow head can speak, but he chose not to. The monsters go back into the underworld while Volvox meditates to see them come, Dommiel stood to his right, he was about eight feet tall, and had a muscular body, he wore a dark blue suit of armor, he had three red-orange organic spikes on his pauldrons, a white spike on the back of each couter, white spikes on the back of his bracers and gauntlets, a white spike on the top of each sabaton, the end of his sabatons were also pointed and sharp, his cuirass did not have any decorations on it, and his leg armor were custom-made he had one piece cover his entire shins and calves, knee pads, another piece cover his entire thighs, front and back, and a piece of armor that protected his genital and gluteal areas, Dommiel's helmet covered his entire head, leaving only his glowing red eyes exposed, he had three white horns on his helmet, two on the sides, and one on his forehead. Dommiel looked at Volvox while he sat on his hind legs, he did not have a throne, "Volvox, what do you think the Count of Saint Germain is doing?" Dommiel asked, "I don't know, but I am curious." Volvox replied, "I was wondering if we should tell him to stop." Dommiel said, "No, let him use it, the festival's been boring, this might make things interesting." Volvox replied, "I guess you're right, your demons do look bored as of now." Dommiel said, "That's because they've been alive for thousands of years, they're basically used to pretty much anything happening." Volvox replied, "How old were you again, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "Fifteen billion." Volvox replied, "I still think you should give your seventy two lieutenants and the Seven Princes a break, training and commanding thirteen million seven hundred thousand demons is tiring." Dommiel said, "I have to watch over them, too, along with those seventy two lieutenants, the Seven Princes, Judas, those zombies, mummies, elves, fairies, dwarfs, vampires, were-beast, ghosts, goblins, ghouls, ogres, incubi, succubi, giant birds, monsters, cryptids, yokai, those monsters, and my two pets, I have to command even more than them, I also have to command you, Dommiel." Volvox replied, "Yeah, but they get hungry, thirsty, and tired, Volvox, you don't, you also don't have to use the bathroom." Dommiel said, Volvox saw Dommiel had a point, "Why did you appoint me to be your second-in-command for?" Dommiel asked, "Because you have proven yourself to be loyal to me, and you're a competent fighter, I would've chose the strongest one, but I made that mistake twice already, they wanted to betray me." Volvox replied, "Why didn't you make Lucifer your second-in-command?" Dommiel asked, "Because he looks like the type that would want to overthrow me, and I have to keep an eye on Judas as well, he betrayed his former boss, he might try the same thing with me." Volvox replied, Dommiel agreed by nodding. Volvox and Dommiel hear screeching and they saw Volvox's two pets fly to him, they were birds, both males, one was red, and the other was blue, the red bird was a phoenix and had orange fire engulf his entire body, while the blue bird was a thunderbird, and had blue lightning engulf his entire body, Volvox just named them Phoenix and Thunderbird since that was what they were, the two were extremely loyal to him since he took care of them ever since they were babies. The alchemist gets everything set up, "Okay, here we go." the alchemist said, and he uses a technological device to open a portal to another area, he throws the flask with the dark green liquid in it into the portal, it breaks and the liquid spills. The portal goes haywire and gets bigger, everybody gasps while the portal engulfs their land, it soon disappears. Everybody looks around and sees everything looked the same, "I don't see any differences." the woman said, "Uh, guys?" a male toddler said as he pointed his right index finger to behind, the alchemist turned around and looked with everyone else, they all saw the Canterlot Castle behind them. The humans look around and they soon see the ponies, dragons, griffins, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs look at them, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna walked to their balcony to see the humans, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor were watching from the Crystal Empire, Thorax was flying in the air and watching them, Princess Ember and Dragon Lord Torch were watching as well, Prince Rutherford was on a mountain, looking at the humans, Grampa Gruff was watching from his home country, Princess Skystar, Queen Novo, Sky Beak, and Ocean Flow were looking from their homes, and Twilight Sparkle, Spike, and Starlight Glimmer were looking from their castle. The humans and Tom look around with surprise, "Were we supposed to get transferred here?" Tom asked, "No, the potion and portal were supposed to send us back in time." the alchemist replied, "Back in time? To when?" a human female asked, "Back when we and monsters lived together." the alchemist replied, "Uh... but we already live with monsters." a boy said, "Yeah, but not together in unison like before." the alchemist said, "What do we do, Your Majesty?" a man asked, "Hold on, I'll go see the emperor." Tom replied, and he walked away, orange flames appear beneath him and he goes into the underworld. Volvox was holding a meeting with Dommiel, Judas, Azrael, Abaddon, Lucifer, Bael, Paimon, Beleth, Purson, Asmoday, Vine, Balam, Zagan, Belial, and Haurus, Phoenix and Thunderbird were on bird stands. Tom walked to them and they all looked at him, "What is it, Tom?" Lucifer asked, "I came to ask what to do." Tom replied, "We're all confused, Emperor Volvox is trying to decide what to do right now." Judas said, "Why don't we attack them to show these natives that we are powerful and not to be messed with?" Tom asked, Volvox and his advisers glare at him, "What?" Tom asked, "Are you stupid? Attacking them directly is idiotic, it'll sour relationships immediately, and we don't know what they're capable of." Volvox replied, "But I heard you attacked several other creatures many years ago." Tom said, "That's because they attacked us first." Paimon replied, "Oh." Tom said, "I'm having Satan watch the other five princes, they're confused, too." Lucifer said, "So are the other lieutenants, none of us know what to do." Bael replied, "The humans are confused, too, I've come here for advice." Tom said, "What are they doing now?" Vine asked, "The alchemist is trying to find a way to send us back." Tom replied, "The monsters are confused, too, but they're behaving themselves." Belial said, "Good, the last thing I need is them running wild." Volvox replied, "Can we let them out for fresh air?" Tom asked, "No, Tom, some of them are violent." Purson replied, "Indeed, you should be grateful, too, some of those monsters ate and killed humans before Volvox tamed them." Asmoday said, Tom was shocked, "Well, anyway, everybody's confused, none of us have any ideas on what to do." Balam said, "Should we continue the festival?" Tom asked, "We have bigger concerns right now, Tom." Zagan replied, "What else is there to be worried about?" Tom asked, "Well, we don't know if our enemies are here, too or not." Haurus replied, "Yeah, this world will be doomed if we go into another war with either Apep or Typhon." Dommiel said, "Hey, where's Giovi?" Tom asked, the demons glare at him, a red light appears to Tom's left and it changes to Giovi, "How are the torturers, Giovi?" Volvox asked, Giovi shook his head, signaling they were confused as well, "Well, as we were saying, it's not Apep or Typhon that will destroy this world, going to war against the overworld will, all of those angels and gods will have no mercy on us next time." Volvox said, "That reminds me, that human, Ezekiel, who has been after us has not been seen." Azrael said, "Yes, we have not seen him, we believe he is beneath notice." Abaddon said, "Everybody is worth noticing, it's those that you don't notice that will overthrow you." Volvox replied, "Well, what should I tell the humans? They're all eager for my answer." Tom said, "Tell them to continue with their days, but do not travel outside the country." Volvox replied, "Very well." Tom said, and he left to go see the humans. The humans wait patiently for Tom to return, he comes back and walks to them, "What did he say?" a male human asked, "Continue with our days, but stay in the country." Tom replied, "Makes sense, we are in a foreign land." a woman said, "True, we don't know what kind of dangers are out there." a boy replied, everybody agreed and they continue with the festival. The festival continues while Tom looks around worriedly, he wondered what Volvox was thinking, "Hey!" a female voice said, they all look and saw Pinkie Pie hopping to them, "Can I join?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Uh, well, it's not my call." Tom replied, "Well, can I meet the party planner?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Hold on, I'll go ask him." Tom replied, and he was about to leave, but purple flames appear in front of him and a light brown paper appeared, he grabbed it and opened it, he sees Volvox has written she can attend, "You can join, but don't cause any trouble." Tom said, "Whoo-hoo!!" Pinkie Pie said loudly while the humans just looked at her, "Wow, you people are actually very accepting." Pinkie Pie said, "You're actually cuter than most of the monsters we see." a boy replied, "Monster? I'm not a monster, I'm a pony." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, you can attend, just don't cause any trouble." Tom replied, and Pinkie Pie joined the humans in the festival. Volvox watches with a screen he has made with his magic, the festival bored him, so he let Pinkie Pie join in hopes she can spice things up, he and Dommiel soon see Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Applejack come over to ask if they could join, Volvox gave Tom permission to invite them, hoping they could make the festival more interesting, "Uh, Volvox, the next three look regal." Dommiel said, and Volvox sees Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence walking over, "My, you are quite inviting, I'm Princess Celestia, this is my sister, Princess Luna, and my adopted niece, Princess Cadence, we're the rulers of Equestria and the Crystal Empire, I control the sun, Luna controls the moon, and Cadence spreads love throughout the land." Princess Celestia said, "I don't like the sound of that." Dommiel said, "Me neither, that makes me hope Ra, Apollo, Amaterasu, and Tsukuyomi didn't get transferred here, but I do wonder how they would react if they saw the Bakunawa, and Cadence better hope for the best Zeus isn't here, I can't imagine how she crazy she'd be around him, since Zeus can't keep it in his pants." Volvox replied, Dommiel chuckled, "I see, what brings you three here?" Tom asked, "Actually, we were hoping we could speak with your ruler." Princess Celestia replied, "Oh, that would be me, I'm this country's king." Tom said, "Oh, well, in that case, we would like to welcome you all to this world." Princess Luna said, "Sorry, but no one can travel out the country for now." Tom replied, "Well, lift it, I think a lot of creatures would want to visit your country, and vice versa with you guys." Princess Cadence said, Tom turned around, "What do the rest of you say?" Tom asked, they all agreed, the Mane Six and princesses smile, "Hold on, I'll be back, I'll go ask the others." Tom said, and he ran, the humans gathered around to hide him, Tom went back into the underworld. Volvox just sat on his hind legs and heard running, he saw Tom enter his quarters, "I already know, Tom, let's lift it for now, but keep your guards up in case they attack us." Volvox said, "You need to lighten up a bit." Tom replied, "Tom, trust me, if you've been doing this for as long as I have, you'll have to take precautions, I've had many countries establish trade and relationships with me just so they can invade us later." Volvox said, "Still, I wish you'd lighten up a bit." Tom replied, "I'm afraid we can't, Tom, you know full well Osiris and Hades can invade us anytime, Anubis might invade us as well." Dommiel said, "Okay, I'll go tell them." Tom replied, and he ran out. Tom returned to the surface world and the humans stepped to the side as he walked to the princesses, "They said yes." Tom said, the Mane Six cheered, "Yee-haw, Ah can get some new customers for mah cider." Applejack said, "More people to watch my Wonderbolt shows!" Rainbow Dash said, "Parties!" Pinkie Pie said loudly and happily, "I can't wait to meet the animals of your country." Fluttershy said, "I must explore this country and see what fashion you all have." Rarity said, "I can have more creatures attend the School of Friendship." Twilight Sparkle said, confusing the humans, "Uh, most of us already finished school." Tom said, "The School of Friendship is for all ages, it teaches to accept everyone, despite their differences." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, I'm not too sure about that, we have thousands of different cultures." Tom said, "That's amazing, send one person of each culture to the school, then." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Sorry, but only a few of those cultures are here right now." Tom said, "Oh, well, then send the ones you have now." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Sorry, kids, but it looks like we don't have a choice." Tom said, the children groan in disappointment, "Hey, our school is different, we make sure it's fun for everyone." Pinkie Pie said, "That sounds assuring." a boy replied sarcastically, "Come on, we think you guys will like it, we'll give you a tour." Fluttershy said, and the kids go. Volvox and Dommiel watch through a screen and see the kids enter the school, "Hi, everyone, welcome to the School of Friendship, I'm Spike." Spike said, "What are you supposed to be?" a girl asked, "I'm a fire breathing dragon." Spike replied, "It's a shame we couldn't get any dragons." Dommiel said, "I know, but they're too violent and unpredictable to have, and the Chinese Dragon would never serve under me." Volvox replied, "What about the Nāgas?" Dommiel asked, "They serve the gods, and the Ryūs are in their own leagues." Volvox replied, "Hey, look, there's another person coming." Dommiel said, and he and Volvox watch, "Hello, everyone, I'm Starlight Glimmer, I'm another administrator at this school." Starlight Glimmer said, the children were not surprised at seeing Starlight Glimmer, "Another unicorn." Dommiel said with boredom, "They're not like the ones back at home, though." Volvox said, "Come on, I'll show you all to your classes." Starlight Glimmer said, and she led them. The students go through the classes and were bored in every class except for Pinkie Pie's class, they were not learning anything about friendship, they did not interact with the other students due to them still being new, but six students did go over to greet them, "I'm Sandbar, I'm an earth pony." Sandbar said, "You look a bit like a regular horse." a boy replied, "I'm not, I'm a pony." Sandbar said, "I'm Gallus, I'm a griffon." Gallus said, "Well, that's a new type of griffon." Dommiel said, "Yeah, I've never seen one like that one before." Volvox replied, "I'm Smolder, I'm a dragon." Smolder said, "Another dragon." Dommiel said, "Yes, it seems the dragons in this world are friendlier." Volvox replied, "I'm Ocellus, I'm a changeling." Ocellus said, the kids were confused, "What?" Ocellus asked, "Sorry, it's nothing." a girl replied, Dommiel and Volvox were surprised as well, "She doesn't look anything like a changeling." Dommiel said, "I know, the changelings in our world are fairies." Volvox replied, "Me Yona, me yak." Yona said, "A talking yak?" a boy asked, "All yak talk." Yona replied, "The ones in our world don't." a girl said, "Oh, so Yona teach yak talk." Yona said, the children smile a bit, they found her broken English kind of funny, "And I'm Silverstream, I'm a hippogriff." Silverstream said, "Hippogriff? That sounds familiar." Dommiel said, "There was one in our world, it had the front half of an eagle, and rear half of a horse, it was the child of a mare and a male griffon." Volvox replied, "Oh, I remember now, shame you couldn't catch it and tame it." Dommiel said, "Someone else got it." Volvox replied, "Well, to better our relations, we were hoping we could be welcomed into your country." Sandbar said, "I guess, it's not like we have a choice." a boy replied, "Really?! Yay! Let's go!" Silverstream said, and they all go while Dommiel and Volvox watch. Tom was busy speaking with Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence to establish trade relations and diplomacy, the three princesses were overjoyed, the humans were liking the world so far, the people seemed friendly. The kids return from school and go to their country, "How was the school?" Tom asked, "It was alright." a boy replied, the other kids agreed, "Well, since the other countries are starting to bond with the others, I'll inform the rulers to come meet you." Twilight Sparkle said, "Wait, this is going a bit too fast for my liking." Tom replied, "Well, you are new here, so we might as well let you all know where the other countries are." Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright, but don't rush it." Tom replied, and the other rulers come visit the humans, they were all not surprised by the physical appearances of the natives of the world, due to Volvox's many monsters, which they have already seen, they see the rulers of the other countries come and Volvox just watched while Tom was greeted by them, they all begin conversing and Tom had trouble understanding Prince Rutherford, and he found Grampa Gruff's attitude unlikable, "Now, Tom, the first thing we want you and your people to do is respect and understand each creature's cultures and customs." Princess Celestia said, "That shouldn't be too hard, I mean, my people have thousands of different cultures and customs." Tom replied, the humans murmured in agreement, "Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, I wanna learn them!" Silverstream said, "It's going to take you years to learn them all." Tom replied, "Yona want learn culture, too." Yona said, "Do you guys have any fighting?" Princess Ember asked, "Yeah, we have those sometimes." Tom replied, Princess Ember was happy, "What are you guys called?" Queen Novo asked, "Humans." Tom replied, "Do humans have music?" Prince Rutherford asked, "Yeah, we have music." Tom replied, Prince Rutherford smiled, "I hope you all are tough, and not puny people." Grampa Gruff said, the humans look at him with confusion, "Uh, our species has been around for millions of years, we're at the top of the food chain now." a boy said, "Oh, so you all are tough, I like that." Grampa Gruff said with a smile, the humans smiled back, "If possible, I want to learn the ones present, too." Twilight Sparkle said, "Okay, but don't disrespect our customs, either." Tom replied, and the others agreed, and the creatures enter the country to learn about the different cultures of the humans, much to their surprises, they left after many hours and the day ended. A few days pass and the Count of Saint Germain was still trying to work on a potion to send them back home, Volvox watched the humans from the underworld and they were having trouble respecting foreign cultures and customs, especially yak culture, they were very specific and petty, and declared war at the slightest offense, the griffons and dragons were not any better, they were unfriendly, they could not fully learn the entire cultures of the ponies and hippogriffs due to the humans being unable to fly or breathe underwater, and the changelings did not really have much of a culture, the humans did meet Shining Armor and Flurry Heart, though, Flurry Heart was especially excited to meet the humans. Volvox and Dommiel hear about Rainbow Dash's pranks and then the one Ponyville pulled on her, the two were unamused, "Seriously? Zombies?" Dommiel asked, "I know, right? Their zombies eat cookies? My zombies eat people." Volvox replied, and they see the humans go back to their home country. Tom was doing a roll call to make sure every human was present, they had mixed feelings about the world, "Uh, Tom?" a man asked as he pointed with his right index finger, Tom turned around and saw a male human coming, he had tan skin, a round face, and brown eyes, his hair could not be seen, he was wearing the armor of an Aztec Eagle Warrior. Volvox groaned in disgust while he shook his head, Volvox did not have a good relationship with the deities back in the human world, he kind of disliked Buddha, he had some dislike for Odin, he somewhat disliked Izanagi, Izanami, and Susanoo, he really disliked Ookuninushi, he hated Indra, he hated Enlil as well, he also hated Loki, Volvox also highly disliked the Greek gods, he especially hated Zeus, Eris, Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, and he hated the Aztec gods the most, "You never did state why you dislike the deities you dislike, Volvox." Dommiel said, "Buddha learned a group of people went through eighty disasters when they were on their way home, and Buddha made another one happen just so they can have eighty one disasters, eighty one divided by nine is nine, and that's Buddha's lucky number. Odin had his own followers killed and they got sent here, and one time, wouldn't let Thor cross a bridge while bragging about how many women loved him. Izanami died while giving birth to Kagutsuchi, which caused Izanagi to kill him, he tried to get Izanami back, but ran away in fear at seeing her new body, and blocked one of the entrances to this underworld with a boulder, Izanami got mad and said she would kill a thousand people every day, while Izanagi said he would birth a thousand five hundred people, and Susanoo was born from his nose. Susanoo was very violent, and destroyed his Amaterasu's rice paddles, crapped in her irrigation ditches, threw crap at her temple, and killed her hand-maidens when he threw a horse at her loom, she went into hiding because of him. Ookuninushi caused a plague during an emperor's reign, and wanted a new temple to end it, it was built, but he was still mad, and made the next emperor's son stupid, and he wanted another temple because of it. Indra sent dancing girls of his court to disrupt prayers if a human, god, or demon had too much power, and he would make love to the wives of the sages by disguising himself as them. Loki tried to destroy our world with Fenrir and Jörmungandr. Zeus is unfaithful to his wife and gave humanity evil in the first place with Pandora's Box. Eris made a golden apple dedicated to the most beautiful goddess, which caused conflict between Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, which led to the Trojan War happening, and Athena also turned Arachne into a spider when she beat her at a weaving contest. The Aztec gods demand sacrifices of the mortals, children and babies included." Volvox explained, Dommiel remembered all of those events happening, he and Volvox keep watching the human. Tom looks at the human and watches him, the others countries see him as well, Rarity had a disgusted face, she did not like his outfit at all, while Fluttershy was concerned, she thought the Eagle Warrior outfit was made out of real eagle, "I am Eztali, I would like to speak to the ruler." the warrior said, Tom walked forward to go see him, "What do you want?" Tom asked, "No, not you, the real ruler." Eztali replied, shocking the other countries, "What?" Princess Luna asked, Twilight Sparkle and her friends watch uncomfortably, "Sorry, but the answer's no, in our culture, foreigners are not allowed to meet the emperor." Tom replied, shocking the other countries again, the rulers were unhappy as well, "I wish to speak with him." Eztali said, "I'd be willing to give him a message." Tom replied, "No, I'd like to see him directly." Eztali said, "He's still not going to allow you to see him." Tom replied, "I'd figured this would happen, my ancestors did say he is stubborn, good thing I came prepared." Eztali said, "With what?" Tom asked, the humans were then grabbed from behind and held hostage by other Aztec Eagle Warriors, "Now, he doesn't have a choice." Eztali said, Volvox and Dommiel watch him and notice Tom and the others were in danger, "What shall we do, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "Unleash the zombies, mummies, and skeletons, I'll direct them telepathically." Volvox replied, and Dommiel used his telekinesis to open the gates that contained them, Volvox led them telepathically. Eztali waits for Volvox to appear, but the ground erupts under his warriors, they are grabbed by the zombies and they scream, the humans of the country run away, "Z... Zombies!" one warrior said, and they all run back to Eztali. The zombies burst out of the ground and moan as they walk towards the Aztec warriors, each zombie had monochromatic white eyes, and grayish skin. The Aztec warriors fight the zombies and kill several of them easily, but some zombies overpowered them and began eating them, the humans screamed, Ponyville was horrified, "They're eatin' people!" Applejack said, "Come on, we have to stop them." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the Mane Six goes over to stop the zombies. The Aztec warriors fight back and take down most of the zombies, but the ground bursts open to the left and the right, mummies come out of the left area, and skeletons come out of the right, each skeleton had a sword and a shield. The mummies shoot their bandages at the Aztec warriors and wrap them up while the skeletons stab and kill a few of them, the zombies then ate them, the Aztec warriors bitten by zombies turn into zombies themselves, and fight the invaders, "Stop!" Twilight Sparkle said as she held the zombies, mummies, and skeletons up, the Mane Six and rulers of the countries go to the humans, "What is going on here?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Their emperor disrespected the gods of my culture, they have sent me here to settle things." Eztali replied, "You know our customs, no foreigners see the emperor." Tom said, "What? Why not?" Rainbow Dash asked, "That's just how our culture is." Tom replied, "Tom, please, we must." Princess Cadence said, "Sorry, but you have to say your concerns to me." Tom replied, "Every human knows you're just a figurehead, you have no power." Eztali said, "Over this area, I do." Tom replied, "Tom, please, we have to see the emperor if we want to discuss trade and foreign relations." Princess Celestia said, "He's not going to answer." Tom replied, "Just as I thought, he has all of this power, and yet, he sends his undead army after us." Eztali said, "What are those?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Zombies, they're the emperor's very first line of defense." Tom replied, "I noticed somethin' strange." Applejack said, "What?" Tom asked, "When someone got hit by one of 'em zombies, they changed into one." Applejack replied, "Oh, the zombies carry diseases, whoever is scratched or bitten by them change into one." Eztali said, Rarity exclaimed out of shock, "How filthy! Those zombies need to take a bath!" Rarity said, "What are those?" Twilight Sparkle asked as she pointed to the left with her front left hoof, "Mummies." Tom replied, "What are those?" Fluttershy asked, "It's when a dead body is preserved so it does not decay over time." Eztali replied, "I must say, what a waste of material, those linens could be used to make some gorgeous outfits." Rarity said, "Are there anymore creatures besides those skeletons?" Princess Celestia asked in a stern tone, "Yes, the emperor has a lot of creatures." Eztali replied, "Strange, though, he usually only sends zombies and skeletons as his first line of defense, the mummies are with his second line of defense." Tom said, "Well, tell the emperor we'd like a word with him the next you visit him." Princess Celestia said, and the natives of the world left. Eztali holds his sword at Tom's neck, "What are you doing?" Tom asked, "The emperor has many powers, and yet, he chooses to hide behind his military, like a coward." Eztali replied, "You dare imply cowardice on my part?" Volvox asked in his usual deep and booming voice, it scared the natives of the world when they heard him, the humans look and see Volvox was beside Eztali's right foot, used his powers to shrink himself to the size of a fairyfly, "Uh-huh! So the emperor finally shows himself! This is for my gods." Eztali said, "Tell Tezcatlipoca to find a new way to be worshiped." Volvox replied, shocking the Aztecs, "Even when you are in danger? You still show blasphemy?!" Eztali asked, "I told your chief god many years ago, I do not like having people sacrificed to be appeased." Volvox replied, the natives gasp, "What?! Sacrifice to be appeased?!" Princess Luna asked, "What about you? You have slaves under your command." Eztali said, "They committed wicked deeds while alive, they serve under me as slaves as punishment for the crimes they committed." Volvox replied, "Nevertheless, it is time you have been punished for your disrespect, prepare yourself, emperor!" Eztali said, he was about to hit Volvox with his macuahuitl, but Volvox grabbed it with his front left foot and lifted Eztali off of the ground, "Argh!! What is this?!" Eztali asked in horror, Volvox threw him in the air and he screamed as he hit someone's house and broke the roof, "Withdraw!" one Aztec warrior said, and they all fled. The Mane Six, Young Six, and rulers of the other countries go back to them to see Volvox, they were shocked by how small he was. Princess Celestia tried to look down to see him, but she had trouble, so she used telekinesis to pick him up, everybody was shocked by how small he was, "This emperor? Yak demand answer for such small size!" Prince Rutherford said, "He can change how big and small he can be." Tom replied, surprising everyone, "I can go smaller than this." Volvox said, "Don't, you're already hard enough to see that small." Princess Skystar said, "So you're the ruler?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "Yes." Volvox replied, "Well, in that case, we'd like to see you every time we have to discuss things." Twilight Sparkle said, "Okay." Volvox replied, "Does that mean I have to step down, Emperor?" Tom asked, "No, keep your position, I need someone to keep an eye on the surface world." Volvox replied, "Surface world? You live underwater?" Silverstream asked, "No, he commands the underworld." Tom replied, "Y'all have a Tartarus, too?" Applejack asked, "Well, you can put it that way, it's huge." Volvox replied, "Let's go back now, it's getting late." Grampa Gruff said, and they all left. Volvox went to go check on Eztali, he was unconscious, so he just uses telekinesis to put him out of the country, and goes back into the underworld. A few weeks pass and the relationships with the other countries sour a bit due to Volvox having slaves, the other rulers have asked him to free them, but he said that they serve him as punishment for their wicked lives. Princess Celestia demanded that he change his policy to only letting those like the petty thieves serve him a temporary amount of time instead, and Volvox reluctantly agreed. The alchemist continues making a potion, he finished one, "Attention, everybody." the alchemist said, and the humans look at him, "I have finished a potion, let's see if it sends us back home." the alchemist said, the humans smile and watch with excitement. The alchemist uses a technological device to open a portal, he throws it in, hoping it would send them home, it did not, it made the Burj Khalifa come into the world instead. The natives of the world look at it with shock, "Whoa! That thing is huge!" Rainbow Dash said, "Indeed, that's the tallest building I've ever seen." Fluttershy replied, "Oops, it looks like the potion still needs some work on it." the alchemist said, "Well, get to it, then, still, I remember when we constructed this." Tom replied, "Yes, it's the biggest building we've ever made." a woman said, they hear Silverstream squeeing behind them, they turn around and see her, "You all built this?" Silverstream asked, the humans nod, "Wow! It's the biggest building ever!" Silverstream said, the humans did not argue because it is the tallest skyscraper in their world, the other creatures travel to the country to see the skyscraper, "What's going on all of a sudden?" Tom asked, "We want to see the building, we have never seen a building so big." Princess Cadence replied, "Yes, it looks like a tower." Shining Armor said, "Goodness, building this must have taken a long time." Sugar Belle said while Big Macintosh stood to her left, the other creatures look at it, some flew to the top of it, surprising everyone, "Please I must know its secrets." Twilight Sparkle said, "What secrets?" Tom asked, "How you guys built it, the materials, the base shape, and I want to know how the base supports all of its weight." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I must say, it has caught my curiosity as well." Princess Celestia said, "Indeed, this world has never seen such a big building." Princess Luna replied, "Come on now, everyone, leave for now, since you all like it, we have to set things for this to be a tourist site." a man said, the creatures smile and they all leave, "I'm still surprised at how huge this got." a girl said, "Exactly, it's the exact same height as the emperor." a man replied, "No, it's not." Volvox said, scaring the humans, they look and see Volvox was using an invisibility spell, he takes it off and reveals himself, standing on his four legs, and at his regular size, the native creatures see him and were extremely shocked at how big Volvox truly was, "See? I'm still taller than this." Volvox said, "Emperor? What are you doing here?" Tom asked, "My two pets wanted some fresh air." Volvox replied, "Oh." Tom said, "Who said this building's the same height as me?" Volvox asked, "I did." the man replied, "Well, get your measurements right next time." Volvox said, and he lifted the building out of the ground with his front left foot, it was as light as a feather for him. The man screamed as he saw Volvox was about to throw the building onto him, "Volvox! No!" Princess Celestia said, he looks and saw her flying to him, "This is a tourist attraction for your country, you should keep it." Princess Celestia said, "It's not really normal for me to have tourist attractions." Volvox replied, "Well, keep it, it'll improve relations with us." Princess Celestia said, "Alright." Volvox replied, and he put the building down, the native creatures cheered and Volvox went back underground while Princess Celestia left. A few days pass and the humans have been dealing with destroyed homes, the creatures noticed their struggle and wondered what was going on, a boy catches what was causing the chaos, and to the surprise of the humans, it was the Dover Demon. Tom goes to the church and rings the bells, the ground bursts open and Volvox came out, the humans glared at him, "What is it?" Volvox asked, "One of your monsters has been causing us trouble." a man replied, surprising the native creatures, "Which one?" Volvox asked, "This one." the boy who caught it replied, Volvox uses telekinesis on the Dover Demon, "This isn't one of mine." Volvox said, "Wait? The Dover Demon doesn't belong to you?" a girl asked, "No, it doesn't." Volvox replied, Fluttershy flew to it, "Can I see it?" Fluttershy asked, and Volvox shows it to her, "Oh, this is a new one." Fluttershy said, "It's from our world, it's called the Dover Demon." Tom replied, "Dover Demon? He doesn't look like a demon to me." Fluttershy said, and she cuddles with him, it became friendly, "See, he just wants friends." Fluttershy said, the humans did not buy it, "Come on now, let's get you a nice new home." Fluttershy said, and she took the Dover Demon with her, the native creatures go to her to look at it with curiosity, the humans shrug and Volvox just goes back into the underworld, the ground fixes itself in the process. Two days pass and the humans lived peacefully, native creatures came just to see the Burj Khalifa. The natives left and the humans hear hissing in their country, the other countries look at the country. Volvox comes out of the underworld and uses telekinesis on what was causing it, surprising everybody, it was the Flatwoods Monster, "Dang, the Flatwoods Monster got transferred here, too." a boy said, "Before you guys ask, no, this isn't one of my monsters." Volvox said, the humans coughed and gagged due to the monster's odor, it smelled burnt and metallic. The Mane Six and rulers go to the country to see the creature, "Oh my, Equestria has never seen such a creature." Princess Celestia said, "Can we see it?" Pinkie Pie asked, "No, that thing's dangerous." Tom replied, the Flatwoods Monster hisses and it scared everyone, Princess Luna casts a spell to put it in ice, "Bring it to me, I'd like to study it." Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright, but don't expect much." Volvox replied, and he used his telekinesis to give it to her, and everything went back to normal. Four days pass and nothing interesting happens, the humans hear fighting in their country and they look, the racket was so loud, the other countries watched them again. Volvox came out of the underworld to see as well, he saw it was two creatures fighting, "Oh, those two are at it again." Volvox said, "Who is it?" Tom asked, "You're about to see." Volvox replied, and the two creatures come into sight, they were humanoid monsters, "Hey, it's Mothman and Owlman." a boy said, "*sigh* those two are fighting again." Tom replied, the two creatures screech as they fight, "No! Stop it! Both of you!" Fluttershy said angrily as she flew to them, the two look at her, and were about to continue fighting, but Fluttershy stares at the two. Mothman and Owlman become scared and fly down to the ground and get on their knees', "Now, we're going to settle this peacefully, I would like to know what started the feud." Fluttershy said, the two did not respond, "You do know they can't speak, right?" a boy asked, "No worries, I have many ways to understand animals." Fluttershy said, Twilight Sparkle walked to them, "Mothman, Owlman, please, no fighting, I'm trying to work." Twilight Sparkle said, the two looked down, "Come with me, you two, I think we might be able to find something you two might like together." Fluttershy said while smiling, and the two follow her while she walks away. The humans look on in shock at the fact that Fluttershy was able to control Mothman and Owlman, while Volvox went back into the underworld. A week passes and the alchemist keeps working, the humans were on better relations with the countries, but they still had strained relationships with the yaks, the griffons, and the dragons, they got along with everyone else, however, they all met in a building in the center of the world, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, King Thorax, Princess Skystar, and Queen Novo would all gather together to discuss relations, Volvox would go occasionally, and shrink down to their size. A woman in the human's country screams and a boy runs to them, "Help! Spring-Heeled Jack is here!" the boy said, scaring the humans. Spring-Heeled Jack jumps onto a house with a sack of coins on his waist, the humans scream at seeing him. Spring-Heeled Jack jumps towards the humans with knives in his hands, Tom is knocked down by him and some of the humans run away while screaming while the rest tried throwing things at him to distract him, one man grabbed him from behind and Spring-Heeled Jack jumped, he went very high, the other countries were shocked to see how high he can jump. Spring-Heeled Jack throws the man off of the roof and he screams, Lyra Heartstrings uses her horn to catch him in midair. Spring-Heeled Jack jumps back towards Tom, he takes his sword out and the two begin fighting, the two were at a stalemate for now. Spring-Heeled Jack hits Tom with the back of his right hand and sends him flying, he grunts and falls, Spring-Heeled Jack jumps towards him and was about to stab the knife in his right hand into his head, but telekinesis is used and he is held in the air. Tom gets up and turns around, he saw Princess Celestia using telekinesis as she and the others walked to him, "Who in tarnation is this?" Applejack asked, "Spring-Heeled Jack, he's another creature from our world." Tom replied, "Creature? He looks like a human." Twilight Sparkle said, "He's what we call a humanoid monster." Tom replied, "You all looked scared." Princess Luna said, "That's because he's strong, he's a robber, too." Tom replied, "Well, in that case." Princess Celestia said, and she casts a spell to freeze him, "If possible, can I have a look at his boots?" Rarity asked, and Princess Celestia uses her magic to get them off and give them to her, "Well, thank you again." Tom said, "You're welcome." Princess Celestia replied while smiling, and they go their separate ways. Volvox was watching from the underworld, he did not help because he knew Spring-Heeled Jack would be stopped. Two days pass and nothing happens, but the humans hear running in their country, they could not find the source, which scared them, Tom called Volvox again, he came to the surface world, "What is it?" Volvox asked, "We're hearing a lot of running recently, and we don't know what's causing it." Tom replied, Volvox was unhappy, he hears the running and sees what caused it, he used telekinesis on it, "Oh, I'm so scared." Volvox said sarcastically, and he shows them what was causing it, "It's the Headless Horseman." Volvox said, and he put it down, the Headless Horseman's horse walked to the humans, several foreigners were in the country, "Uh, that's... actually kind of scary." Sugar Belle said, "You guys are scared of it?" a woman asked, "Kind of, yeah." Apple Bloom replied, "We actually have a similar tale." Scootaloo said, "And what would that be?" Tom asked, "The Headless Horse." Sweetie Belle replied, "Well, I hope you guys are happy, this was a waste of my time." Volvox said, the humans looked down, "Uh, Volvox?" a boy asked nervously from behind, "Hmm?" Volvox asked while turning around, he sees another creature on horseback, "Dullahan's here, too." the boy replied, "I see, go on, Dullahan, and don't kill anyone." Volvox said, and the black horse Dullahan was on walks towards the mortals, the ponies, dragons, yaks, griffons, changelings, and hippogriffs were shocked at what they saw, "Dullahan at your service." Dullahan said in a male voice, "Wait, how can you speak with no head?" Rainbow Dash asked, Dullahan reaches into his thighs with his left hand and holds up his head, which had a wide smile, some of the natives of the world exclaim, "Ah must say, that is downright creepy." Applejack said, "Eeyup." Big Macintosh replied, "I cannot say other people's names, they will die if I do." Dullahan said, "Wait a minute, is that a vertebrae in your other hand?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Uh, well?" Dullahan asked, Princess Celestia walked to them, "Headless Horseman, Dullahan, if possible, try to be a bit quieter, we've been hearing you two roaming around at night as well, and it's waking us up." Princess Celestia said, "My apologies." Dullahan replied while the Headless Horseman just looked down, "Don't contact me about horse related problems again unless it's the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse or the Sluagh on horseback." Volvox said, and he went back into the underworld, the Headless Horseman and Dullahan rode off and everybody resumed their days. Two weeks pass and the humans were doing trade with every country, Ponyville got attacked by a ursa minor one week ago, Twilight Sparkle used her magic to get him out. The humans were getting on with their days and a boulder lands in the city, the humans scream at seeing it, an old man runs to the top of his house's roof and looks on with a telescope, the old man becomes scared, "What do you see?" Tom asked, "Talos!" the old man replied with horror, the humans screamed in terror. Tom ran to the church to ring the bells, Volvox came to the surface world, he sat on his hind legs, "What is it this time?" Volvox asked, "Talos! He's here!" the old man replied, Volvox was surprised, "Wait? Talos is here?" Volvox asked, the old man nodded, "Volvox, please, you must protect us." a woman said, "Hold on a minute, you guys are starting to get dependent with me protecting you guys, I won't always be available, I'll let you guys deal with him on your owns." Volvox replied, "But we're no match for someone like him." Tom said, "Sure you are. What do you guys know about him?" Volvox asked, "Uh, that he's a giant." a girl replied, "Okay, what else?" Volvox asked, "He's invincible." a boy replied, "Well, yes, but he has one weakness, what is it?" Volvox asked, "A nail in his left ankle." another boy replied, "See, there you guys have it, you all know how to beat him, I'll let you guys defend yourselves this time." Volvox said, and he goes back into the underworld, "Okay, everyone, let's come up with a plan." Tom said, "It's too late for planning, he's here." the old man replied, "What? Already?" Tom asked, a house gets destroyed and everybody sees Talos come to them. The natives of the world look on in horror at seeing the seventy meter tall bronze statue walking to them, with a sword in his right hand. Talos walks to them and tries to step on the humans, they scream while several humans tried throwing rocks at him, some shot arrows, some tried using spears to distract him, none of them worked. Talos picked up a house and threw it onto the ground, some humans screamed as they were smashed by it. The humans were struggling against Talos, he would not walk forward, he swings his sword down and the humans scream as it hits the ground, he then picks up another house and throws it onto more people. Tom notices the alchemist was nowhere to be seen, but he ignores it and tries to command the others, "Lure him forward!" Tom said, and the humans tried, but Talos did not walk, he continued to just stand and swung his sword again, the humans ducked to dodge it. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs go over to help, Twilight Sparkle and the other unicorns shoot him with their magic, it did nothing, Talos grabbed the Pegasi, griffons, dragons, and hippogriffs with his left hand, they screamed in terror, Princess Ember tried using her fire breath on him, it did nothing, Maud Pie tried punching his left foot, it had no effect, "Okay, there should be a nail on him somewhere." Rarity said, Talos walks forward with his left foot in hopes of smashing more people, they move away, they see the nail in his left ankle, "There it is." Applejack said while she pointed her front right hoof. Tom took his sword out and ran to it, he tries to remove the nail with it, it would not budge. Applejack and Big Macintosh run away and come back with rope, they wrap it around the two rods, the two pull on it while Tom uses his sword in hopes of removing it. Talos looks back to see what was going on behind him, but the others distract him. Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Maud Pie go to Tom to help him remove the nail, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash grunt since the nail was on tight, it turns a little and white smoke began to come out. Talos looks back again to see what was happening, he dropped the people in his left hand in the process, the unicorns and changelings used their magic to catch them. Tom, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Maud Pie, Applejack, and Big Macintosh continue to try to remove the nail, it was on tight and not moving much. Gallus and Smolder joined to help Applejack and Big Macintosh move the rope, the nail moves a little bit, Sandbar and Silverstream then grab the rope, Ocellus tried to pull the rope with her mouth as well, the nail turns a little bit, Yona runs to them to help and she charges into the nail from the right. The nail comes off and the ichor pours out, Talos begins to scream and grasp his neck with his hands, everybody watches, he stops and begins to crack, he starts to fall and everybody runs away and he hits the ground, his arms and head break off. Everybody walks back and looks at the broken Talos, "Is everybody okay?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It seems that way, thank you, all of you." Tom replied, the creatures smile, "So, uh, what do we do with all of the bronze?" a boy asked, "I don't know, there's not much we can do." Tom replied, "Well, you could share it with us, we did help." Princess Celestia said, the creatures agree, "Alright, but moving it is going to be hard." Tom replied, "Nah, I'm sure some unicorn magic will be enough." Twilight Sparkle said, and she tries to lift the pieces, she could not even lift one piece, "See, this is going to take a while to move." Tom said, "Let yak help, yak good at moving things." Prince Rutherford said, the others agree, "Let's get to work." Tom said, and everybody starts working together. Everybody breaks Talos' body into small pieces so he could be moved, the earth ponies, yaks, and dragons use rope and begin pulling the pieces of bronze forward, everybody else pushed from behind, the ponies used it to make jewelry, the changelings used it as tourist attractions, the griffons used it to fortify their country, the dragons used it to make new armor, the yaks used it to build new homes, and the hippogriffs used it to make new art. Everything went back to normal for the time being. A week passes and people were celebrating a boy's birthday with a big birthday party, Pinkie Pie helped set it up, Tom ran to them, "Everybody." Tom said, the humans look at him, "I just got a message from the emperor, five of his monsters have gotten loose, they're roaming around right now." Tom said, "I wonder who they could be." a woman said, "We'll worry about that later, let's enjoy the party." another woman replied, and they do. The party goes on for a few minutes until an attack happens, the humans in the area scream, they hear growling and grunting, they all see it was Goatman, he was wielding an axe. Goatman attacks and the humans scream while he destroys the party material, he growls while swinging it around, "No! Bad goat!" Fluttershy said angrily, Goatman was about to attack her with his axe but she stares at him, it scares him into submission and he fell to his knees, "Apologize, it took me a long time to set this party up!" Pinkie Pie said angrily, and Goatman just looked down, "You can't take this one, Fluttershy, he belongs to Volvox." Tom said, "Just where in tarnation did he get that axe?" Applejack asked, "We don't know, he already had it when Volvox found him." Tom replied, "Well, hand it over, uh... um...?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Goatman." a man replied, "Goatman?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yeah, he's half human, half goat." Tom replied, "Well, Goatman, please give us the axe." Sunset Shimmer said, she has come to visit due to Twilight Sparkle writing about the new human country, so she decided to see them out of curiosity, but Goatman would not hand it over, Rainbow Dash touched it with her front left hoof, Goatman growled and was about to attack her with it, Rainbow Dash was about to hold the axe back, but Starlight Glimmer uses her telekinesis to hold him up, "Okay, I guess he wants to keep it." Starlight Glimmer said, "Behave for now, Goatman." Tom said, and Goatman looked down, he was put down and the party continued. About an hour passes and everybody hears walking, "This way, guys." a boy said, they all look and see three more of Volvox's monsters, they were Bigfoot, the Hibagon, and the Yeti, "Aw, it's Bigfoot." Sunset Shimmer said, "You know him?" a girl asked, "Yeah, there are stories about him in the world I'm staying at, too, we call him Sasquatch most of the time, though." Sunset Shimmer said, "What's that other hairy one there?" Rarity asked, "That's the Hibagon, we don't see him often." Tom replied, "What about that white one there?" Pinkie Pie asked, "He has two names, most call him the Yeti, where I grew up, he's called the Abominable Snowman." another girl replied, "Abominable? He looks friendly to me." Rarity said, and they all join the party, Fluttershy flew to them and they were friendly with her, Silverstream also flew to them, excited to meet new creatures. Hours pass and the party was about over, a family ran to them, "Guys." the woman said, the humans look at her, "The last monster here is the Jersey Devil." the woman said, "Where is it?" Tom asked, "Uh? Oh, there it is." the boy replied, and they all see it flying in the air. The Jersey Devil lands on a roof and walks on it, it goes onto the ground, "Oh my, I've never seen a creature like this one before." Fluttershy said, "It's one of a kind." a man replied, "Can I study it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Sorry, but Volvox needs them back." Tom replied, Twilight Sparkle looked down, and the five monsters return to the underworld, the party shortly ended afterwards. Two days pass and the alchemist has still not returned, Tom was wondering where he has went, he hears walking and sees a man coming, he was black, had a round face shape, very short black hair, and black eyes, he was wearing a green robe, "Halt!" the man said, "Who are you?" Tom asked, "I am Ezekiel, son of Jesus." the man replied, Tom and the other humans glared at him, knowing it was not true, "What are you doing here?" Tom asked, "I am your savior, here to take down every last demon and free you all." Ezekiel replied, the humans were not happy with him, "How many demons do you think there are?" a boy asked, "Think? I know exactly how many demons there are." Ezekiel replied, "How many are there, then?" Tom asked, "Seven million four hundred five thousand nine hundred twenty six." Ezekiel replied, the humans glare at even more, "What?" Ezekiel asked, "That is completely, utterly, wrong." a boy replied, "Well, it doesn't matter, I'm here to face the emperor's entire military, and since I am wearing green for good luck, I know I will come out victorious." Ezekiel said, the ground then bursts open and Volvox came out, he was very far, "Well then, since you wish to face my entire military, I'll let you see what you're up against."

Volvox said, and he appears to Volvox's right, "And thirteen million seven hundred thousand demons." Volvox said, and they appear on the ground, in the water, and in the sky, scaring Ezekiel and the world's natives, "Thirteen million seven hundred thousand?!" Rarity asked with shock. Ezekiel stood scared as he looked at Volvox's massive military, "Well? Still feel like being a one person army?" Volvox asked while smiling, Ezekiel was very scared, "I... I'm... wearing green... for good luck." Ezekiel said, "Good luck? It looks like green with jealousy to me." Volvox said, the humans and monsters laugh, Ezekiel stood scared and fell to his knees while whimpering, "I... I yield." Ezekiel said, "Good, kill him." Volvox said, "NO!!" the other countries yelled, they go to them and take Ezekiel away, Princess Celestia flew to Volvox, "Come meet with us at once, Volvox, we need to talk." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away, Volvox shrunk himself down to the size of a human and teleported to where the rulers meet up. Volvox meets up with the other rulers and the Mane Six, "Volvox, we're going to get straight to the point, we'd like for you to reduce your military." Princess Celestia said, "Reduce?" Volvox asked, "Yes, your military is too big." Princess Celestia replied, "You make it sound like a bad thing." Volvox said, "It is, your military is bigger than all of this world's militaries combined!" Rainbow Dash said, "It makes the natives feel safe." Volvox said, "Ah don't feel safe by 'em, Ah don't wanna go to some country and see some fourteen million somethin' soldiers waitin' for me." Applejack replied, "We're going to ask you kindly to reduce the size of your military, Volvox, to at least the size of the militaries of other countries." Princess Cadence said, "Really? If I go back home with a smaller military, those humans will be vulnerable." Volvox replied, "But you have all of those demons and monsters on your side." Twilight Sparkle said, "Trust me, back in our world, my enemies can kill every single one of them with just one attack." Volvox replied, shocking everybody, "For real?!" Rainbow Dash asked, Volvox nodded, "Well, they're not here, and we want you to reduce it, going to war against you will also be very unfair." Princess Luna said, "You sound jealous." Volvox replied, "I'm not." Princess Luna said in an annoyed tone, "We want you to make your military smaller, we understand the need for country defense, but the size of yours makes us feel like you're going to invade us." Twilight Sparkle said, "I'll see what I can do." Volvox replied, the other rulers smiled, "Thank you, Volvox, we'll be looking forward to your progress." Princess Celestia said, and he left. Volvox and Tom try limiting the military, but Volvox could not bring himself to reduce his military, so he had most of them go back into the underworld. If anything, Volvox wanted his military to be bigger, he was also disappointed that the deities in his home world made him sign a pact that does not allow him to have any soldiers or weapons from the Civil War to today, because he wanted to have all of the weapons and heavy artillery from World War I and World War II in his military, he also wanted hydrogen bombs, but the other deities refused because they feared it would make him too powerful. Volvox sent his military back to the underworld under the guise of making it smaller, the other countries go to see and were happy with it, oblivious that Volvox tricked them, their relations improve and everything was normal again. A few days pass and the alchemist still has not returned, Tom was starting to wonder about him. The humans and monsters lived together for now, but Volvox and the demons returned to the underworld. The humans begin calling out to Volvox, "What's going on?" Volvox asked, "Today is April 7th." Dommiel replied, "Oh, right, how can I forget?" Volvox asked, and he uses his magic to make a crucified Jesus appear. The humans go to the crucified Jesus and pay their respects to him by getting on their knees' and bowing to him. Volvox had a lot of respect for Jesus, because he died and wore the sins of humanity on himself, and suffered so they would not. The other deities had no respect for Jesus, some called him a regular person or an idiot, others said his actions were meaningless just because he was a mortal, which angered Volvox and several other demons. When Jesus died, the other deities declared him wicked, but Volvox refused to take him, it was the one time in his fifteen billion year life that he refused to take someone as a slave, he demanded Jesus to go to the overworld, where he can spend his time in the afterlife in peace, the deities agreed, but in exchange, he had to take Judas Iscariot in, and have him serve as one of his commanders, which he was not happy about, but did it so Jesus can be at peace in the afterlife, he has kept a close eye on Judas ever since he took him in. The natives of the world go over to the country to see what they were doing, "What's going on?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Today's a holiday, Volvox calls it Jesus Day." a man replied, "Jesus Day? What's the idea of this holiday?" Applejack asked, "That crucified man up there is Jesus Christ, he was loved by all, and pure, on this day, he was crucified and killed, he wore the sins of our kind on himself, and suffered so we would not." Tom replied, surprising the others, "Twilight, and the rest of you, go pay your respects to him as well, he committed the ultimate act of friendship: sacrificing his own life for his friends, and choosing to suffer in their places, but Tom said he didn't do it for just his friends, he did it for everybody, he is what I call a true friend. Let's go now, he deserves our respect as well." Princess Celestia said, and the ponies pay their respects to Jesus, word of it got out and the dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs go to the country to pay their respects to Jesus for what he has done, Volvox was very happy to see that this world had a lot of respect for Jesus as well, he hoped Jesus was watching and smiling from above. Two days pass and the humans and monsters live together, the native creatures of the world were there as well, "So, how many of these creatures are from your world?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Every single one of them." Tom replied, "I have to admit, you guys have more monsters than we do." Starlight Glimmer said, "This isn't all of them." Tom replied, "What?! You all have even more?!" Rarity asked, "A lot more." Tom replied, "Some of these creatures are scaring me." Pinkie Pie said, "Really, Pinkie? They're not that scary." Maud Pie replied, they hear walking and see the Nuckelavee, Maud Pie screams in terror at seeing it, so did the others, most of the native creatures left the country, "Seriously! That thing is downright creepy!" Applejack said, "I know, right. Look, even Princess Celestia is scared of it." Rainbow Dash replied, they see Princess Celestia on the balcony of her castle, she was looking away, and had her head down with her front legs on the sides of her head, "Please, get that thing out of my sight." Princess Celestia said in pure terror, and the Nuckelavee walked away. Tom sees the Catoblepas coming over, Fluttershy goes over to pet it, "Be careful, Fluttershy, you'll turn into stone if you look into its eyes." Tom said, "Okay." Fluttershy replied, and she petted it, it was happy, it walked away. The others hear walking and a centaur goes to the ponies, "Well, you guys are new ones." the centaur said, "I'm surprised about you guys, you all are almost like a fusion that represent the relations our kinds have." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I noticed, but we've existed long before we got transferred here." the centaur said, "It's so cool, though, I can imagine a creature like you guys easily." Rainbow Dash replied, the centaur smiled, "I just wanted to say hi, I'll be going now." the centaur said, "Okay, have a good time." Fluttershy replied, and the centaur walked away. Apple Bloom ran to Applejack screaming, "What's wrong, sugar cube?" Applejack asked, the look and see the Chimera coming, "I wouldn't blame her, that's the Chimera, that thing is dangerous." Tom said, "Wait, did ya say a Chimera?" Apple Bloom asked, "Yeah, it's a dangerous animal." Tom replied, "Well, that's different." Twilight Sparkle said, "What?" Tom asked, "We have Chimeras, too, but they have the body of a tiger instead of a lion." Twilight Sparkle replied, Tom was curious, he hears more walking and sees the Minotaur, Tom petted him, "Who was this again?" Maud Pie asked, "The Minotaur." Tom replied, "Oh, so this is the Minotaur, we have them, too, but they're not like this." Rainbow Dash said, a bunch of tentacles come out of the water and the humans and monsters move out of the way to dodge them. Volvox comes out of the underworld to see what was going on, they see the creature emerge, it was a huge squid, shocking the humans, "Is that monster from your world, too?" Applejack asked, "Yeah, that's the Kraken." Tom replied, Volvox uses a spell to put it to sleep, he then turned to the humans, "Be on your guards, if the Kraken is here, then it's possible that either Moby Dick or Cthulhu is here as well." Volvox said, shocking the humans, Volvox then went back to the underworld. A few hours pass and the natives of the world view the Burj Khalifa and the monsters from the human world, "Excuse me." Princess Cadence said as she trotted to Tom, "Can you put that Nuckelavee elsewhere? It's scaring my baby." Princess Cadence said, Tom says Flurry Heart in Princess Cadence's front left hoof, cowering in fear at seeing it. Tom was about to tell it, but the Nuckelavee already left, "It's gone." Tom said, "Thank you." Princess Cadence replied, and she flew back to the Crystal Empire. The day goes on and nothing interesting happens, the natives of the world went home for the day. Several days pass and a portal opens, the alchemist comes out, the humans look at him, he stood up, "Sorry I'm late." the alchemist said, "Where were you?" a boy asked, "Trying to find a way to make the potion to take us home, I think I got it." the alchemist replied, "Well, hurry up and use it." a man said, and the alchemist gets ready to use it, he uses the technological device to open a portal, he throws the new potion in it. The country shifts and the underworld comes up, they see a meeting being held by Volvox, Dommiel, Judas, Azrael, Abaddon, Lucifer, Bael, Paimon, Beleth, Purson, Asmoday, Vine, Balam, Zagan, Belial, Haurus, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Giovi, and Tom. The natives of the world watch from their countries, "What do you expect me to do if Cthulhu is here?" Tom asked, "We expect you to evacuate the mortals away from this area." Lucifer replied, "I told you, we can hold our own, we might be able to beat him." Tom said, "And then what? Do a funeral for every human who has died against him?" Paimon asked, "What about you guys? What if the other Lovecraftian gods are here watching us?! What if Nyarlathotep is up there, in the stars?!" Tom asked angrily, the demons were caught by this, they look at the sky, the natives of the world were surprised as well, "I doubt it, last time we checked, he was at war with Typhon." Beleth replied, "Okay, so he isn't here, what about Abhoth?" Tom asked, Dommiel senses the country with his magic, "It's not here, either." Dommiel replied, "Okay, what about a Shoggoth?" Tom asked, Bael senses the area, "Wait, there's one nearby." Bael said, and Volvox uses his telekinesis, he takes it out of the ground, the natives of the world scream in terror at seeing it, some of the natives go to it, "What is that?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "A Shoggoth, unlike other creatures, they're only found in certain parts of our world, that thing is found everywhere, it's under the ground." Tom replied, "Good thing we found this." Vine said, "Yeah, just imagine if it attacked the surface world." Zagan replied, "Wait, give it to me, I want to study it." Twilight Sparkle said, "That reminds me, how's your studies on the Flatwoods Monster?" Lucifer asked, "I didn't find much, but he's still frozen." Twilight Sparkle replied, Volvox uses his magic to freeze the Shoggoth, he gives it to her, Twilight Sparkle grunts and struggles to move it to her castle for study, but she manages and was about to do her research. The alchemist tries another potion, he throws it into the portal, but it causes a rift in the sky, the humans see a hippogriff fly out, "What the?" a man asked, "A hippogriff." another man replied, Silverstream squeed with joy and had her hands on her cheeks, she smiled at seeing it, "That's your world's hippogriff?!" Silverstream asked, "Yes, it is." Tom replied, "Wow!" Silverstream said excitedly, "Wait, hold on, before you get all excited, do you know how hippogriffs are created?" Dommiel asked, Silverstream stopped smiling, "No, how?" Silverstream asked, "Hippogriffs are created when a male griffon mates with a female horse." Volvox replied, Silverstream was speechless, but when she processed the information, she screamed out of shock extremely loudly, she stood there with her left hand over her mouth, which was wide open. Her friends and the Mane Six run to her, "It's okay, Silverstream, you're still our friend." Gallus said, "But... are people of my kind created that way, too?" Silverstream asked, "No, of course not, you all are a separate species from the griffons." Twilight Sparkle replied, Silverstream calmed down and smiled, another portal opens and a griffon from the human world appears, "Hey, it looks like us." Gilda said, "Yeah, it actually does." Gallus replied, "Wait, potions that open rifts? Just who are you?" a boy asked, the alchemist was nervous, "You guys never noticed? That's the Count of Saint Germain." Haurus replied, surprising the humans, "You mean... as in... the five hundred year old time traveler?" a boy asked, "Yes, the one and only." Volvox replied, "I didn't think you guys would recognize me." the Count of Saint Germain said, "Hold on a minute, did ya say he's five hundred years old?" Applejack asked, "It's true, but we don't know how he achieved it." a man replied, "Well, Count of Saint Germain, how did you achieve it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I actually forgot." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "What about time traveling, how do you do that?" Princess Luna asked, "Something I learned a long time ago, I learned it by accident from an alchemy experiment gone wrong." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "If you don't mind, Count, can you try again with the potion to send us home?" Purson asked, "Of course, back to work." the Count of Saint Germain replied, and he works on creating a new potion. Another portal opens and several things fall out, they were big. The objects land on the ground, and to the surprise of everyone, they were the pyramids of Giza from Egypt, "No way, another piece of architecture from our world." a man said, "Another one?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yeah, the Pyramids of Giza." Tom replied, "Ooh, I wanna meet Giza." Pinkie Pie said, "Giza's a place, not a person." Tom replied, the humans bow at it, "Why are they bowing for?" Rarity asked, "Unlike the other building, which was built with machinery, the pyramids were built by our own hands." Tom replied, the Mane Six were surprised and go to the pyramids to see how big they are, "Wow, all of this was built without technology? I can't imagine how many years this must have took to build." Twilight Sparkle said, "Can we explore it?" Silverstream asked, "No, it's too tight." Tom replied, "How tight?" Gallus asked, "If you get stuck, you can't get out." Tom replied, shocking the natives of the world, "Well, let's see how tight it really is." King Thorax said, and he enters, Volvox uses his magic to make a screen appear so they can watch him. Thorax explores the biggest pyramid and sees there was a lot of space right now, he flew up to go into some of the passages, but it got tighter and tighter, the natives of the world gasped at how tight it really got, Thorax had to shapeshift near the end several times since the spaces were too small for his regular size. Thorax comes out while panting and the screen disappears, "It's really tight." Thorax said, "Okay, sorry, class, but it looks like we can't do a field trip to explore them." Twilight Sparkle said, the Young Six groan in disappointment, Volvox was not happy that they wanted to explore everything the humans had, "Still, I can't imagine it for you guys, since you all can't fly or breathe underwater, getting through must be hard." Rainbow Dash said, "It's hard for everybody." Tom replied, Daring Do was looking at the pyramids, she wanted to try to go through them on her own. The day passes and the creatures went back to their native countries, a big rift appears in the sky of the humans' country, the blue electricity catches everybody's attention and they all look, Volvox watched carefully, "We finally found you, Volvox." a deep male voice said, Volvox's attention was caught, it was Nyarlathotep, "Get back, it's the Outer Gods." Volvox said, the humans scream in terror and run away. The electricity disappears and everybody sees the creatures, they see Azathoth, Cxaxukluh, Daoloth, Ghroth, Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, Tulzscha, Yibb-Tstll, and Yog-Sothoth. The natives of the world scream in horror at their appearances, the humans look away, "Everybody, don't look at that clutter of objects, his name is Daoloth, you'll go mad if you see him." Tom said, he sees the natives were unaffected by it, much to Tom's surprise, "What do you guys want?" Volvox asked, "We're here to bring you back to your world." Yibb-Tstll replied, the demons and other monsters glared at them, "We know you guys, you all want something else." Lucifer said, "You all catch on quickly, we wished to be worshiped like before." Nyarlathotep replied, "No." the humans replied, "Then no portal back home." Cxaxukluh said, "What makes you think you all can just come and take over the planet?" Volvox asked, "We're the gods of the universe." Yog-Sothoth replied, "You're still extraterrestrials, plus, I'm older than you guys, they worship me for a reason." Volvox said, "You're an emperor, we're gods." Shub-Niggurath replied, the native creatures were horrified at what the humans' gods looked like, "Besides, I thought you all were at war with Typhon." Belial said, "Uh? Well... we... kind of had to retreat." Tulzscha replied, "So you all admit you lost." Volvox said, Ghroth opened its eye, causing the natives of the world to gasp, "You mortals have a choice, worship us again, and we send you all back home, or refuse to worship us, and be destroyed." Nyarlathotep said, the native creatures go to them, "No." Princess Celestia said as she walked to them, "They choose who to worship, you cannot force such a thing onto the people." Princess Celestia said, "You dare question us?" Cxaxukluh asked, "Yes, gods are supposed to be pretty!" Pinkie Pie replied, "Not all gods, Pinkie Pie." Tom said, "Hmm, it seems the Great Old Ones aren't here." Ghroth said, "Well, keep trying." Daoloth replied, "I'm not getting anything." Ghroth said, "That's enough, Ghroth, it's only us who are here." Azathoth replied, "Who is the leader?" Princess Luna asked, "I am." Azathoth replied, "How can you be so cruel to these people?" Queen Novo asked, "They're mortals, we're gods, we are superior." Azathoth replied, a yellow beam and a blue beam were shot at them, they got hit and were harmed, "What the?" Nyarlathotep asked, "We're gods, too." Princess Celestia said, "Are you humans going to worship us?" Azathoth asked, "No." the humans replied, "Then war, it is." Azathoth said, and they get ready to attack, but the other countries and Volvox's entire military come to their defenses, the Outer Gods were shocked, "We're their friends, that means going to war against us as well." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us." Applejack said, "You think you can best a god?" Daoloth asked, "We've fought gods before." a man replied, the Outer Gods realize they were greatly outnumbered, and none of their creatures were present, "On second thought, let's go back, we'll attack the humans back there." Azathoth said, and the Outer Gods disappeared. The humans thanked them and their days continued. Four days pass and the Cerberus from the human world and the Cerberus from the native's world fought one another in the human's country, Orthrus also fought to protect his brother, the Cerberus from the human world had snakes on his neck, they were poisonous, the humans and Fluttershy had to calm them down, it took a long time, but they managed to stop the fight. Another monster is heard walking around, Volvox uses telekinesis to take it out, everybody see it was Frankenstein's monster, people called him Frankenstein, "This way, Frankenstein." Tom said after Volvox put him down. Frankenstein grunted and did not speak, he acted like a child and did not understand things. Twilight Sparkle flew over with her books to help teach him, Princess Celestia taught him as well, "Now, now, Frankenstein, watch carefully, and learn." Princess Celestia said, her voice soothed him, Frankenstein learned a lot, the world's natives loved his childlike personality, Pinkie Pie and Derpy spent time to play with him. The Count of Saint Germain continues working and sees something, he screamed in terror at it, the humans run over and see the creature, to their surprises, it was a Tsuchinoko, "Hey, Volvox, there's a Tsuchinoko here." a boy said, Volvox uses telekinesis to hold it up, he sees the small brown creature, "Be careful around it, it has fangs and venom similar to that of a viper." Volvox said, and he puts it down. The Mane Six, Young Six, and Frankenstein go to it while the Cutie Mark Crusaders walk with him, "Ooh, I wanna see." Pinkie Pie said, and the natives see it, Fluttershy flew down to look at it, "Aw, it's so cute, this is the smallest snake I've ever seen." Fluttershy said, the humans see Twilight Sparkle was very scared by it, the Tsuchinoko tries to bite her, but Fluttershy says a few things and rubs it, it calms down and obeys her, Frankenstein tries to touch it and the Tsuchinoko was friendly enough to let him touch it, "What a nice little creature." Fluttershy said, and she took it with her to keep as a pet, the days went on normally afterwards. A week passes and the Count of Saint Germain creates another potion. The humans were playing a game, they were trying to get through the strait that had Scylla and Charybdis in it, without getting their ship damaged, or losing anyone on the ship. Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia were trying to come up with a plan since if they go out of range of one creature, they will be in range of the other one, the two did admit it was hard. Twilight Sparkle asked a human boy for his toy boat, and he gave it to her, she set it in the strait, and Charybdis spins around and gets the boat, while Scylla did not see it, "Hmm, it got through one, but the other one saw it." Princess Celestia said, "Oh, this is hard, how are we supposed to win this?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I know how, like this." Rainbow Dash replied, and she flew into the strait, Scylla tried to grab her but was too slow, "See, I win." Rainbow Dash said, "No, you can't do that, that's cheating." Tom replied, "Oh." Rainbow Dash said, "Let's try something, Twilight, I have an idea." Princess Celestia said, and she flew down, she used a small boat, she gets through with ease, Charybdis begins spinning around to suck her in, but the small boat made it just out of range, and Scylla could not stretch her six heads out far enough to reach her. The native creatures cheer as Princess Celestia makes it to the end, but Volvox walked over and stood at the end, scaring the natives, but he grabs the boat after she passes, "Not bad, most people lose at this game." Volvox said, "It was tough, but it was fun." Princess Celestia replied, "I didn't think she'd actually win." Sunburst said, "Me neither." Twilight Sparkle replied, the Count of Saint Germain ran to them, "Everybody, I got the potion, we can go home." the Count of Saint Germain said, the humans were happy, but they hear Queen Chrysalis laughing, they see her with the potion, "Now, with this potion, I can enter their world, feed off of all of their love, and conquer the human world." Queen Chrysalis said, "Catoblepas." Volvox said, it walks to Queen Chrysalis, she looks at it with disgust, "What is this disgusting little..." Queen Chrysalis asked as she lifted it up with her telekinesis, she looks at it in the eyes and turns into stone. The Count of Saint Germain takes the potion and opens the portal, he throws it in, the portal changes and the humans see their home, they cheer, "We can go home at last." Tom said, they all hug the natives, "It was a pleasure to meet you all, we're going to miss you." Princess Celestia said, "We'll miss you guys, too." Tom replied, and the humans and monsters leave while the natives of the land say their goodbyes, the architecture from their world went in as well. Twilight Sparkle goes back to her castle and sees the Flatwoods Monster was gone, Fluttershy also sees the Dover Demon was gone as well, so was Mothman and Owlman, and the Tsuchinoko. Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia had a picture of Jesus in their quarters', they respected him for what he did, and hopes what happened to him does not happen in their world, the world's natives remember the humans and their monsters and hold onto their memories of them dearly for years to come.
MedievalVolvox was living during the Middle Ages and had humans, demons, and some monsters living together, the humans have begun to work in sorcery and magic, but it was not as powerful as the other creatures. Volvox lived with the humans, and their king was Tom, even though Tom was king, he was a figurehead, Volvox was the true ruler because he was the head of the church, he had many demons under his command. Volvox's second-in-command and personal bodyguard was Dommiel, he collected taxes from the humans, he had seventy nine demons under his control, the ones who attended the church with him were Lucifer, Leviathan, Satan, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Mammon, and Belphegor, while the other seventy two were in the underworld, their names were Bael, Agares, Vassago, Samigina, Marbas, Valefor, Amon, Barbatos, Paimon, Buer, Gusion, Sitri, Beleth, Leraje, Eligos, Zepar, Botis, Bathin, Sallos, Purson, Morax, Ipos, Aim, Naberius, Glasya-Labolas, Buné, Ronove, Berith, Astaroth, Forneus, Foras, Asmoday, Gaap, Furfur, Marchosias, Stolas, Phenex, Halphas, Malphas, Raum, Focalor, Vepar, Sabnock, Shax, Vine, Bifrons, Vual, Haagenti, Crocell, Furcas, Balam, Alloces, Caim, Murmur, Orobas, Gremory, Ose, Amy, Orias, Vapula, Zagan, Valac, Andras, Flauros, Andrealphus, Kimaris, Amdusias, Belial, Decarabia, Seere, Dantalion, and Andromalius, each one commanded several legions of demons. Volvox had a ghoul named Giovi with him as well, he chose not to speak, and lost his claws on his hands many years ago, he replaced them with knife blades, he was a master of telekinesis and pyrokinesis, he was also a bodyguard to Volvox. While Tom was only a figurehead, he still had command over human forces, he was allies with the Knights of the Round Table, which had fourteen members, they were King Arthur, Sir Lancelot, Sir Gawain, Prince Geraint, Sir Percival, Sir Bors the Younger, Sir Lamorak, Sir Kay, Sir Gareth, Sir Bedivere, Sir Gaheris, Sir Galahad, Sir Tristan, and Sir Palamedes, he also had command over the Knights Templar, humans who served under Volvox, they were the first line of defense for his church. Volvox's kingdom had a trading relationship with another continent, while the continent he was on was called Medieval, the other continent was called Feudal, they were very different from one another, they traded in weapons, a male merchant went to go see Volvox, "Emperor Volvox, Feudal just demanded more weapons from us." the merchant said, "Who's the one demanding it?" Volvox asked, "Some guy named Genma Himuro." the merchant replied, "Oh, him again, watch out for him, he looks suspicious." Volvox said, the merchant nodded and he left to go deliver firearms to Genma through ship. Volvox was using a portal to speak with an old friend of his, Dragon Lord Torch, who used to serve under him as a military general many years ago, "Is it you, Volvox?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "Yes, Torch, I'm here." Volvox replied, "Good to speak to you again, the dragons under my command here have been well." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Yes, that's great to hear, I do miss having you guys serving under me sometimes." Volvox replied, "You're not the only one, a lot of the dragons here miss you, too." Dragon Lord Torch said, Volvox chuckled, "How have the griffons, yaks, and changelings been?" Volvox asked, "I haven't checked, but I remember them serving under you, I think they might miss you from time to time as well." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Well, it's nice to know they still care, I was thinking about trying to bring my land into your world so we can all meet again, just like old times, the deadites are rising again, and I need help." Volvox said, "Yes, of course, I'd like to meet you and the other dragons again." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Alright, the demons here will give it a try, talk to you later, Torch." Volvox said, "Alright, bye." Dragon Lord Torch replied, and the portal closes. Volvox walks outside of the church and looks around, he sees all of the other areas of the continent, Volvox's kingdom was one area of the continent, it was called Shadowstorm, other areas were Windhelm, Boletaria, Camelot, Blackadder's kingdom, the fairy kingdom, the elf village, the underground city of dwarfs, the tribe of orcs, the vampire kingdom, the tribe of werewolves, the tribe of trolls, and the tribe of ghouls, Volvox's kingdom had the most power out of any area on the continent. A portal opens in an area of the continent, a man and a yellow car fell down, he had pale skin, short black hair, an oblong face shape, and brown eyes, he wore a dark blue long-sleeve shirt with most of the left half torn off, his pants were brown, and he wore black shoes, he had a holster on his back that held a sawed off double barreled shotgun, and a red chainsaw in place of his right hand. The man stands up while everyone looks at him, King Arthur ordered his knights to surround him with spears, while his other knights aimed crossbows at him, "Wait!" a male elf said, the others look at him, "I recognize him, he's the Hero from the Sky, sent here from the future to save us." a male elf said, the man stands up, "Now, you hold on a minute there, my name's Ash, I ain't no hero." the man said, "Really? You're right here, in the Book of the Dead." the elf replied, and he showed him the page, Ash recognized it, "Well, that ain't me." Ash said, "Who is it, then?" the elf asked, "I dunno, maybe my twin brother." Ash said, "Twin brother? This man is a fake, seize him!" Blackadder said, "Wait, stand down." Tom replied, and they do, Tom walks to him, "We need your help, Ash, monsters have been attacking us, and please disregard him, he's an idiot." Tom said, "I know who he is, I've seen Blackadder." Ash replied, surprising everyone, "Well, moving on, my name is Tom, I am the king of Shadowstorm, that there is King Arthur, king of Camelot, that's King Allant, king of Boletaria, and that there is Edmund Blackadder, Prince of England." Tom said, "Hold on a minute, you kings are just figureheads, the one in charge is the church." Ash replied, everyone was surprised that he knew, "My kingdom isn't controlled by the church." a man said, "And you are?" Ash asked, "I am Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak of Windhelm." the man replied, "Oh, well, who's the pope?" Ash asked, "That would be me." Volvox replied as he walked forward, Ash becomes shocked when he sees Volvox, he takes his shotgun out and aims it at Volvox, "Wait, Ash, I'm not the bad guy, I just run the continent." Volvox said, "Someone tell me why this big Cerberus is in charge." Ash said, "Because he has been watching us evolve since the beginning of Earth's existence, he makes sure every species on Earth does not go extinct." Tom replied, "Well, he did a horrible job, a lot of animals are extinct in my time." Ash said, "That wasn't my doing, Ash." Volvox replied, "Really? So they didn't go extinct because of you?" Ash asked, "Nope, the higher ups did it, the gods decide when it's time to restart." Volvox replied, "Well, I guess you're already gone six hundred years later then." Ash said, "I'm still alive in your time, Ash." Volvox replied, "Then why don't I see you anywhere?" Ash asked, "Because I am busy making sure everything runs smoothly in the underworld." Volvox replied, "Oh." Ash said, "Come, Ash, we need your help, and try not to step on anything on the ground." Volvox replied, and they walk together while everyone watches them. Volvox and Ash walk around and Ash sees rats and pigs roaming the streets, dead animals and feces were in the roads, and he smelled rotting meat in the air, it stank, but he remembered learning it in school, he also saw cockroaches in the bread, "Say, do you guys bathe twice a year?" Ash asked, "Yup, this is only my kingdom, the other areas are different." Volvox replied, "I wouldn't bet on that." Ash said as he saw human feces floating away in the water, Volvox takes him to the church, Ash saw Lucifer, Satan, Asmodeus, Mammon, Belphegor, Leviathan, and Beelzebub looking at him, Ash ignored them and entered the church. Volvox walks up the stairs and saw Dommiel and Giovi, "This is Dommiel, my second-in-command and personal bodyguard, and this is Giovi, my other bodyguard, he chooses not to speak, he lets his actions do the talking, we are going to try to reach old allies of mine to regain their help with the monsters attacking us, they are in another world, they are the dragons, griffons, yaks, and changelings." Volvox said, "Wait, did you say a dragon?" Ash asked, "Yeah, several, in fact." Volvox replied, "Can I ride one?" Ash asked, "Uh, why?" Volvox asked, "Just imagine how that would sound, a man wielding a double barreled shotgun with a chainsaw hand riding a dragon into battle, don't you think that would sound cool for the history books?" Ash asked, "Eh, I guess." Volvox replied, Ash smiled, "Volvox, the portal's ready." Dommiel said, "Alright, let's see if we can enter their world to get help against the deadites." Volvox replied, and he uses his own magic to control the portal, and the entire continent and the Feudal continent get sucked in. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs get on with their days, a magical surge appears to the very east of the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone, the dragons and griffons look, the continents Medieval and Feudal appear. The dragons and griffons become shocked at what they saw, "Is it?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, they all saw Ash walk out of the church, he looks at the dragons and griffons, "Hey, Volvox, you might wanna see this." Ash said, and Volvox walked out of the church, he uses his magic to change back to his normal size, "It is!" Grampa Gruff said happily, the dragons and griffons cheer at seeing Volvox. Volvox walks to the Dragon Lands and he and Dragon Lord Torch go to one another, Volvox slaps his right front foot with Dragon Lord Torch's right hand, they then hold one another at their claws, "How have you been, Torch?" Volvox asked, "Great, the dragons are happy to have you back." Dragon Lord Torch replied, Volvox chuckles, "We're here, too, Volvox." Grampa Gruff said as he and other griffons flew to him, "Ah, yes, Gruff, you were my one of my advisers." Volvox said, happy to see them again. A train arrives in Griffonstone, it opens and Prince Rutherford and several yaks get off, they go to Griffonstone, "Volvox, yaks here, too!" Prince Rutherford said, "Yes, it's good to see you again, Rutherford, I remember when you were a kid, boy, you have grown." Volvox replied, "Yak know Volvox?" a male yak asked, "Prince Rutherford's father, King Bison, used serve Volvox." Prince Rutherford replied, the yaks smiled. Volvox, the dragons, griffons, and yaks hear flying, they see the changelings coming, they saw Pharynx leading them, King Thorax was behind him, "Hello, Volvox, it's nice to see you again." Pharynx said, "You are?" Volvox asked, "It's us, Volvox, the changelings." King Thorax replied, Volvox's memory comes back, "Wait, Pharynx, Thorax, is that you?" Volvox asked, the two nod, "I remember you two now, you two were some of my best soldiers, you guys look really different from before." Volvox said, "Yeah, we went through metamorphosis by sharing love rather than feeding off from someone." King Thorax replied, "Oh, I see. So, I remember Torch here, but where's Grover, Bison, and Metamorphosis?" Volvox asked, the griffons, yaks, and changelings look down, "King Grover passed away many years ago." Grampa Gruff said, "King Bison lost life in avalanche." Prince Rutherford said, "King Metamorphosis is... no longer with us." King Thorax said, "Wait, he wasn't killed by Chrysalis, was he?" Volvox asked, "No, passed away from illness." King Thorax replied, "And Grover?" Volvox asked, "Old age." Grampa Gruff replied, "Oh, I see." Volvox said, "One more thing, Volvox, I am no longer Dragon Lord, my daughter is the ruler now." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Really?" Volvox asked, Princess Ember flew to them, "Father, who is this?" Princess Ember asked, "This is Emperor Volvox, Ember, when I was young, I served under him as a military general." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Wow, I hope you're not here to take over." Princess Ember said, "No, I'm actually here to meet old allies." Volvox replied, "Old allies?" Princess Ember asked, "That's right, I served as a military and diplomat adviser to Emperor Volvox in my younger days." Grampa Gruff replied, the younger griffons were surprised, "King Bison and yaks were diplomats for Emperor Volvox, Prince Rutherford served as one as well when Rutherford became teenager." Prince Rutherford said, "Me, Pharynx here, and several of the changelings here served as foot soldiers in his army back then." King Thorax said, "Oh, so we all have a history with you." Princess Ember said, "Exactly, I was thinking about doing some kind of game to celebrate our reunion." Volvox replied, the dragons, griffons, yaks, and changelings agreed, "When is a good time?" Volvox asked, "Well, Hearth's Warming is near, so maybe during that time, and Volvox, one more thing, you're not as powerful as before in this world, the kingdom of the ponies in front of you there, they're the most powerful kingdom in this world, and to the south is the hippogriff kingdom, they're rising in power, too." King Thorax replied, "Alright, it's settled then, we'll get things ready for the games, I'll be going back now." Volvox said, and he goes back to his kingdom, so did the yaks and changelings, the ponies and hippogriffs did not pay attention, everycreature just went on with their days. Four days pass with no events and Hearth's Warming comes, the games were ready, the dragons, griffons, yaks, and changelings went to the Medieval continent, they saw the Feudal continent was there as well, the yaks were carried by the dragons and they flew into the kingdom, they saw the entire continent was going to be used for the games. Volvox sat in a throne that was at the top and in the center of a rectangular balcony, Dommiel sat to his right, while Giovi sat to his left, Dragon Lord Torch sat in a throne to Dommiel's right, while Prince Rutherford sat to his right, to Tom's left was Grampa Gruff, and to his left was King Thorax. From left to right in the next row was Belphegor, Mammon, Leviathan, Lucifer, Satan, Beelzebub, and Asmodeus. Tom and Ash were sitting in the next row, to Tom's right was Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak and King Arthur, and to Ash's left was King Allant and Blackadder. Under the row of King, Arthur, Ulfric, Tom, Ash, King Allant, and Blackadder were the rulers of the other regions, from left to right was Counselor Melvin, the ruler of the fairies, Count Dracula, the ruler of the vampires, Chief Jason, the ruler of the werewolves, Regent Urub, the ruler of the orcs, King Flamma, the ruler of the dwarfs, King Karstaag, the ruler of the trolls, Chief Isbar, the ruler of the ghouls, and Elder Lazlo, the ruler of the elves. The seventy two demons of Solomon sat to the sides of the balcony, on the left side were Bael, Vassago, Marbas, Amon, Paimon, Gusion, Beleth, Eligos, Botis, Sallos, Marax, Aim, Glasya-Labolas, Ronove, Astaroth, Foras, Gaap, Marchosias, Phenex, Malphas, Focalor, Sabnock, Vine, Vual, Crocell, Balam, Caim, Orobas, Ose, Orias, Zagan, Andras, Andrealphus, Amdusias, Decarabia, and Dantalion, and the ones on the right side were Agares, Samigina, Valefor, Barbatos, Buer, Sitri, Leraje, Zepar, Bathin, Purson, Ipos, Naberius, Buné, Berith, Forneus, Asmoday, Furfur, Stolas, Halphas, Raum, Vepar, Shax, Bifrons, Haagenti, Furcas, Alloces, Murmur, Gremory, Amy, Vapula, Valac, Flauros, Kimaris, Belial, Seere, and Andromalius. Everyone sat in a circle starting at the balcony going counterclockwise had the dragons, griffons, humans, trolls, vampires, orcs, elves, fairies, dwarfs, werewolves, ghouls, demons, yaks, and changelings, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, and Smolder were within the crowd, Spike did not attend because he was not informed. Everycreature did games by what creature they were, they had archery, racing, jousts, fighting, wrestling, hammer throwing, horseshoe throwing, shinty, football, and colf. The yaks did things differently due to them not being bipedal and unable to change like the changelings, they did the jousts with the lances in their mouths, same with colf, they did not participate in archery or hammer throwing, and they threw horseshoes with their mouths, they did everything else like the others. The changelings changed to humans to do several activities, but remained normal for most, everyone's favorite event was the fighting and wrestling, Princess Ember won the fighting competition, while the orcs won the wrestling, everyone had fun until it ended. Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, and Smolder walk back to Ponyville, "Wow, I'll admit, that was actually pretty fun." Ocellus said, "Yeah, I'm planning to try those out myself when I get older." Gallus replied, "Yona honored that kind served under Emperor Volvox." Yona said, "Me too, the dragons served him because he was a very powerful ruler, Dragon Lord Torch said he's a pretty cool guy." Smolder replied, the four keep walking but stop when they saw Sandbar and Silverstream in front of them, Sandbar had a pretty upset face while Silverstream was on the verge of tears, "How could you guys?" Silverstream asked, "How could we what?" Gallus asked, "How can you guys go on and have fun... without inviting us?" Silverstream asked, she began to cry, "Wait, wait, wait, wait, we can explain." Gallus said, "Seriously guys, not cool." Sandbar replied, "But you two must understand, we didn't intend to hurt your feelings, it has something to do with the history of our kinds." Ocellus said, "Yeah, and the rulers just called us, they didn't explain anything." Smolder said, "All of Yakyakistan participated, Yona's family went as well, so Yona had to participate." Yona said, "But still, you left us out." Sandbar replied, Silverstream continued to cry, "By the way, Headmare Twilight wants to see you four when we go back to school." Sandbar said, and he walked away while pulling Silverstream along, she was still very upset, the four looked down in regret. Ash walks around the kingdoms and looks around, every place was dirty, "Excuse me." a female said, Ash turns back and saw a fairy, "Do you happen to know where my husband is?" the fairy asked, "What's his name?" Ash asked, "Oberon." the fairy replied, "Wait a minute, are you Titania?" Ash asked, "Why, yes, I am." the fairy replied, "Why aren't you and Oberon in charge then?" Ash asked, "Well, we were the rulers of the fairies in the past, but we decided to step down and let Melvin do the ruling, Oberon and I were tired out from royal duties." Titania replied, "Well, no, I haven't seen your husband, but if he isn't around, then maybe you and I can spend some time together." Ash said, Titania chuckled, "Sorry, but I am taken, I don't know why he always leaves, but maybe he's like me, he interested in watching the romance between Romeo and Juliet." Titania replied, "Bleh." Ash said, "Well, can you help me find my husband?" Titania asked, "Sorry, lady, but I've got deadites to kill." Ash replied, "I understand, hope you do well." Titania said, and she flies away, Ash walks around and saw Ulfric was doing some kind of shout to push people away, Ash was caught by surprise to see it, he also sees King Allant had a strange black sword with him, he just keeps walking, "Enjoying your time here so far, Ash?" Tom asked, "No, it's been a bit boring to me so far." Ash replied, "Sorry about that, we are still busy recruiting old allies." Tom said, "Well, I hope it ends soon, this boredom is killing me." Ash replied, and he walks away while Tom watches him. Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, and Smolder were in Twilight Sparkle's office and they sat across from her, "I heard about what has happened, you four really hurt their feelings." Twilight Sparkle said, "But Headmare Twilight, it was to celebrate a part of our kinds' histories." Ocellus replied, "That doesn't matter, you guys left your friends out, all of you owe Sandbar and Silverstream an apology." Twilight Sparkle said, "We already apologized." Gallus replied, "Well, they're still not over it, make sure it's sincere this time, you four may leave." Twilight Sparkle said, and they do. The four walk together and saw Sandbar comforting a crying Silverstream, "Oh, it's you guys." Sandbar said, "Hey, look, we said we're sorry, we didn't mean to hurt your feelings." Gallus replied, "Yona apologize, too, Yona did not mean to hurt friends." Yona said, "Do I look like the type to hurt you guys in anyway?" Ocellus asked, Sandbar realized what they were saying, "Yeah, you're right, I forgive you guys, but my feelings are still hurt." Sandbar said, Silverstream still cried, the four stand behind her, "Are you still upset with us, Silverstream?" Smolder asked, "Hmm-mm." Silverstream replied while nodding, "We do apologize, Silverstream, if we'd known what was going on, we wouldn't have left you and Sandbar out." Smolder said, "But you guys did." Silverstream replied, "That was because our leaders called us out of the school, they didn't say what it was, they said it was for a special surprise." Gallus said, "Really?" Silverstream asked, "Yes, and we're sorry we left you and Sandbar out." Ocellus replied, Silverstream looked back, the four smiled, she smiled and the six of them hugged one another. A male dragon flies to the School of Friendship, he went to go see Twilight Sparkle, "Dragon Lord Torch needs Smolder to come back, Spike needs to come as well, the Dragon Lands are changing their government." the dragon said, "Okay, I'll go get him. Spike." Twilight Sparkle said, Spike went to go see her, "Come with me, Spike, Dragon Lord Torch wants to see you and Smolder." the dragon said, "Really? I'm ready to go." Spike replied, and they left, they got Smolder and they flew to the Dragon Lands. The Wonderbolts were flying in the air and practicing, Spitfire stopped when she smelled a faint but distinct odor in the air, "Hey, you guys smell something?" Spitfire asked, the other Pegasi smell the stench as well, "Yeah, I smell it." Rainbow Dash said, "Me too." Soarin replied, "What is that smell?" Vapor Trail asked, "Who knows, but let's ignore it for now." Sky Stinger said, and they continue flying, they did not know that the smell was coming from the continent Volvox ruled, they were smelling the stench of dead animals, feces, and rotting meat. Spike and Smolder arrive in the Dragon Lands with the dragon, they all saw Dragon Lord Torch standing, "Dragons! I am here to introduce you all to your previous ruler, when he was ruler, I served under him as a military general, I know dragons usually don't do friends, but this is a special occasion, please welcome, Emperor Volvox!" Dragon Lord Torch said, Dragon Lord Torch stood by and Volvox walked over to Dragon Lord Torch's left, the elder dragons cheered while the other dragons were very shocked by how big he was, Dragon Lord Torch smiled as he stood to Volvox's right, "To those of you who don't know me, I am Emperor Volvox, many years ago, you dragons served in my military, you all were my best soldiers, and then after sometime, you all had enough and needed a break, and came to this world, but now that I am your ruler once again, I ask for your aid, these monsters known as deadites have been plaguing my land, I need you all to help me fight back these monsters." Volvox said, the elder dragons cheered, they all breathed fire, "Wait, hold on." Volvox said, and they stop, "You all only breathe fire?" Volvox asked, the younger dragons nod, "Is that the only shout you guys know?" Volvox asked, confusing the dragons, "Shout?" Princess Ember asked as the other dragons murmured, "Yes, us dragons have this ability called a Thu'um, our fire breath is only one, it is called shouting, certain words and phrases a dragon says can empower them." Dragon Lord Torch said, surprising every dragon, "Serve me, and learn how to use the Thu'um." Volvox said, the dragons cheered, "Hey! Wait just a minute!" Princess Ember said, she flew up to Volvox's center head, "I'm the Dragon Lord, Volvox, what makes you think you can just come here and usurp my position?" Princess Ember asked, "Ember, relax, Volvox isn't here to usurp your position, he's here to get old friends to help him with a problem." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "See, there you have it, plus, I have my land to rule, it'll be like I'm not here." Volvox said, "Still." Princess Ember replied, "Don't worry, Ember, you're still in charge, all Volvox is going to do is have us elders teach you the Thu'um, you're going to like it." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Can we see a demonstration?" Garble asked, the dragons agreed, "Very well, stand back, everydragon." Dragon Lord Torch said, they did, so did Volvox, Dragon Lord Torch warmed up his voice while the dragons watched with great anticipation, "Fus Ro Dah!" Dragon Lord Torch said, and a volcano in front of him broke from the ground and went into the air, the dragons look at Dragon Lord Torch with surprise, they cheered shortly afterwards, "Hold on, everydragon, here's the shout to the one you all use." Dragon Lord Torch said, and they watch him, "Yol Toor Shul!" Dragon Lord Torch said, and a giant breath of fire came out of his mouth, it was huge, the dragons cheered, they all pledged their allegiance to Volvox, "Now this might be fun to learn." Spike said, and the dragons were all taught the Thu'um. Spike returned to Ponyville later that day and decided to try the Thu'um while walking around town, "Fo Krah Diin!" Spike said, and he shot ice out instead of fire, surprising the ponies, he keeps walking and he sees an aggressive bear in front of him, it roared, "Spike, look out, Harry's been grumpy all morning." Fluttershy said as she flew to him, "Kaan Drem Ov!" Spike said, his Thu'um calmed Harry, surprising Fluttershy, Spike walked away while chuckling, "Wuld Nah Kest!" Spike said, and he dashed away really fast, it looked like he was teleporting, "Ha! Ha! This is fun!" Spike said, "Fus Ro Dah!" a male voice said, the force blasts Spike away, he screams while he goes through the air and he falls, he gets back up and saw Discord, "Discord?!" Spike asked with shock, "I can use the Thu'um, too." Discord replied, much to Spike's shock, "Spike." Twilight Sparkle said behind him, he turns around and saw her trotting to him, "There you are, I'm going to have to ask you to stop with the shouting, you're scaring everypony." Twilight Sparkle said, Spike looks around and saw everypony was scared, he did not respond and walked away. Princess Celestia flew down and landed to Twilight Sparkle's right, "Twilight, keep an eye on Spike, I didn't know a dragon had this much power." Princess Celestia said, "Me neither, I need to have the others keep an eye on Smolder so she doesn't destroy the school." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I don't know what's going on, but be very careful around them, Twilight." Princess Celestia said as she watched Spike with her. Volvox was trying to get the Medieval continent located elsewhere in the world since the yaks could not fly, and not reach it from where they were at, "Is here good?" Volvox asked, he was just to the east of the Dragon Lands, "No, the yaks can't reach from there at all." Princess Ember replied, the continent disappears and reappeared between the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone, "No, that's not good, either." Grampa Gruff said, "Try over there, just a little to the west." Dragon Lord Torch said, Prince Rutherford looked and saw it will be in the Celestial Sea, "This spot good, yaks can come by boat." Prince Rutherford said, "Yeah, this'll do, we can change into whales and carry them, too." King Thorax said, "Alright, guys, one more time, we know where to appear." Volvox replied, and the land disappears. The land appears to east of Baltimare and Equestria saw the continent, the ponies look on with shock while Pinkie Pie screamed with shock, they saw how dirty the land was, they also saw yellow-green stink lines coming out of the land. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna looked from the balcony and saw the land, they were very shocked by how dirty it was, they were speechless, so was Princess Cadence and Shining Armor. The Mane Six went to Shadowstorm through Twilight Sparkle's hot air balloon and got off, they coughed and gagged at the smell, "Pee-yew, this country is stinky." Pinkie Pie said, "No kiddin', it smells worse than a bag of rotten potatoes on a hot summer afternoon." Applejack replied, "Well, come on, we have to see what it's like here." Twilight Sparkle said, and they walk forward. The Mane Six walk and they see rats in the street, Rarity exclaimed with shock at seeing them, "Hey, relax, they look friendly." Fluttershy said, and she flew to them, the rats were about to touch Fluttershy, "Wait, Fluttershy, I don't think they're clean." Twilight Sparkle said, "Don't worry, Twilight, I have a very strong immune system." Fluttershy replied, and she plays with them, they went on afterwards, they soon saw pigs roaming in the streets, "P... Pigs?!" Rarity asked with horror, "Oh, you look friendly, too, you're a good pig, yes, you are." Fluttershy said, the pig was happy with her, the other pigs went to her, "Uh, Fluttershy, I think we should get moving." Rainbow Dash said, Fluttershy agreed and they walked forward with Fluttershy saying bye to them. The Mane Six keep walking but Rarity hears a splat when she steps on something with her front right hoof, she looks and saw something brown, the six look forward and saw feces in the road, Rarity screamed, "Ew! Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ewwwwwww." Rarity said as she desperately used her magic to get the feces off of her hoof, she hyperventilated as well, the six look forward with disgust, "There is no way Ah'm walkin' through that." Applejack said, "Me neither, that is way too gross to step hoof in." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Oh, my hoof, it's going to take me a lifetime to clean it." Rarity said, "Come on, guys, let's just fly over it." Rainbow Dash said, and she picked up Rarity and flew forward, Fluttershy picked up Pinkie Pie, and Twilight Sparkle picked up Applejack and they flew over the road covered in feces, holding their breaths. The Mane Six keep going and see more feces, they then see dead animals in the road as well, the six were very grossed out, they keep flying and land when they saw the people. The six walk around and see the humans were dirty, they had dirt and feces all over their clothing, their teeth were black and rotten, and the humans were dumping their chamber pots into the road, which had more feces, "Hey, look, there seems to be a merchant." Rainbow Dash said, "Hey, it is, it looks like he's sellin' food, Ah sure am hungry." Applejack replied, "Me too." Fluttershy said, "Well, let's take a short rest, then." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they go to him, "Hello, you six look new here." the man said, "We are." Fluttershy replied, "Well, you guys have any money?" the man asked, "Sorry, but no." Applejack replied, "Well, here, this bread is all I can give for free." the man said, "Why, thank you, darling, that was very generous of you." Rarity replied, and the six bite into their bread at once, Rarity gagged when she ate hers, she then spat hers out, she and the other five look into her bread and saw something brown in it, "What is this?!" Rarity asked, "Oh, sorry, it looks like the bread you got had a cockroach in it." the man replied, Rarity ran away while screaming, she laid down on the ground and began rubbing her tongue with her front hooves, she was hyperventilating in the process, her five friends went to her, "You alright, Rarity?" Applejack asked, "No! I am not alright, I just tasted a cockroach! My dignity as a lady has been lost!" Rarity said, she began to cry dramatically, "It's okay, Rarity, we're here to help you, so get back up, and let's get out of here together." Twilight Sparkle said, Rarity stopped crying and stood back up, the six stood together, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans look at her, "Who's in charge here?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I am." Tom said, he walked to them, "My name is Tom, I am the king of this area." Tom said, "I do not like this place!" Rarity said, "Is something wrong?" Tom asked, "This country is filthy!" Twilight Sparkle replied angrily, "Really? We're kind of clean compared to the other areas." Tom said, Rarity screamed with shock, the Mane Six smell him and the humans, they gag and cover their noses, "Ew, you guys are stinky." Pinkie Pie said, "How often do y'all bathe?" Applejack asked, "Twice a year." Tom replied, the Mane Six were horrified, "Twice a year?!" Rarity asked, "Yeah, we don't really have baths." Tom replied, shocking the Mane Six, "I need to use the restroom." Twilight Sparkle said, "Just go in the streets." Tom replied, "I am not relieving myself in public!" Twilight Sparkle said sternly, "Well, what bathroom thing you need to do also depends on how we use it." Tom said, "Ugh, fine, I have to pee." Twilight Sparkle replied, "We use that to wash laundry." Tom said, disgusting the Mane Six, "I am not giving you my urine!" Twilight Sparkle said angrily, "Yeah, that is downright nasty." Applejack said, "Do you guys have any toilet paper?" Pinkie Pie asked, "No." Tom replied, "Then how do you all wipe if you have to go poopy?" Pinkie Pie asked, "We just dig it out with our hands." Tom replied, the Mane Six gag at the thought, "Gross!" Rainbow Dash said, "Come on, let's go, I'll just use the bathroom at home." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, let's get out of this dump." Rainbow Dash replied, "Wait, one more thing, where do you guys bathe?" Fluttershy asked, "In that stream over there." Tom replied as he pointed to his left with his left index finger, the six mares go and exclaim with shock, the water the humans bathed in was filled with feces, the six go back, "That is nasty! The bath water needs to be cleaned!" Rarity said angrily, "Do y'all at least change your clothes after bathing?" Applejack asked, "Nope, we put our old clothes back on." Tom replied, the Mane Six were disgusted, "Come on, let's go." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all leave and go into the air with Twilight Sparkle's hot air balloon, "I am very offended, I cannot believe these people are comfortable with living in such filth!" Rarity said angrily, "I agree with Rarity, that place is disgustin'." Applejack replied, "Yeah, I'm going to need to take a bubble bath for the rest of the day." Pinkie Pie said, "Me too, I'm going to take a nice, long bath when I get home, I can't imagine how many germs I caught." Twilight Sparkle replied, "That place is too dirty, even for me." Rainbow Dash said, "Me too, Rainbow, and Ah grew up in a dirty environment." Applejack replied, "Really? It wasn't that dirty to me." Fluttershy said, shocking the other five, "You didn't think it was dirty, Fluttershy?" Applejack asked, "No. Believe it or not, but there are days when my cottage is even dirtier than their country." Fluttershy replied, "Well, I don't want to see that, I need a bath." Twilight Sparkle said, "If anypony wants or needs to see me, I'll be at the spa for the rest of the day, I cannot even live in such conditions." Rarity replied, "Well, I'm sorry to say this to you all, but that was only a small part of the land, there's more to explore." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, now that we have seen how dirty it is, I shall take the proper precautions for the next time for when we go back." Rarity replied, and they all headed home. The Mane Six took long baths when they got home while Rarity went to the spa and ordered every treatment they had, she was scared of contacting germs from Tom's kingdom, they also told Ponyville and Cloudsdale about the dirty living conditions the humans had, which grossed out everypony, they all decided to sleep for the rest of the day. Princess Luna entered the dream realm to get rid of any nightmares the foals were having, "Ah, another beautiful night in the dream realm." Princess Luna said to herself, she looks around until she smells a very foul stench, she began to gag, "What is that horrible smell?" Princess Luna asked, she looks and saw the Mane Six having dreams of Tom's kingdom, so did the ponies in Ponyville and Cloudsdale since they told them about their experiences. Princess Luna coughed and gagged at the stench, she looks and saw the stench was a combination of smelling dead animals, feces, and rotting meat, she looked on with pure disgust when she saw what she had to get rid of, she zapped the nightmares away while looking away, she eventually had to enter their dreams. Princess Luna entered the first dream and all four of her hoofs stepped on fecal matter, she looks down with disgust, she gagged at the stench again, she was angry about it being in the dream realm, the smell was everywhere, she was coughing as well, "This is the foulest stench I have ever smelled." Princess Luna said, she continued to gag and stick her tongue out, she was about to vomit from the stench, she continues working in the dream realm while enduring the stench, she coughed and gagged all night, the smell eventually gave her a headache, "I cannot focus under these conditions!" Princess Luna said as she tried to zap away the dreams with the stench, they just kept coming back, Princess Luna coughed, gagged, and wheezed for the rest of the night. The next day comes and Princess Luna had her face buried in flowers and she inhaled as much as she can, the stench from last night really hurt her head, Princess Celestia watched her with great concern. The Mane Six were leaving to explore the rest of the continent that Volvox ruled, "Alright, darlings, I am ready." Rarity said in a muffled voice, they look and saw her wearing a hazmat suit, "Rarity, what in tarnation are ya wearin'?" Applejack asked, "This is a hazmat suit, Applejack, I am not stepping into their country bare hoofed when it is filled with such filth." Rarity replied, "Well, let's go, we have a lot of places to explore." Twilight Sparkle said, and they enter the hot air balloon. Twilight Sparkle goes to the north of Shadowstorm, to Boletaria, they land and see the dreglings, they did not attack, "What are these guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I don't know, but they don't look healthy." Twilight Sparkle replied, they walk forward while the dreglings ignore them. The Mane Six walk forward and see the gate in front of them was open, but they decide to look elsewhere, they see the regular soldiers, who ignored them, so did the knights with the blue eyes, and the ones with the red eyes, they eventually come across two dragons, one was red, and the other was blue, "Excuse me." Fluttershy said as she walked forward, the red dragon breathed fire at her, which scared her, Pinkie Pie screamed as she jumped back to dodge it, "Hey, you almost burned mah friend." Applejack said, the red dragon breathed fire at her as well, she dodged it, "Let's try talking to the blue one." Twilight Sparkle said, and she tries to walk to him, he lifts his tail up and tries to smash her, which she dodged by flying back, "Let's go somewhere else, these dragons are not very nice." Rarity said, and they leave. They walk around a bit and went back to where they were originally at, the gate in front of them was open, so they walk into it, and were startled by the blob with hoplites around it, "What is this?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Let's go, Twilight, Ah'm gettin' the feelin' they ain't friendly." Applejack said, and they walk, Pinkie Pie looked back and saw the hoplites aiming their spears at them, she quivered with fear and went forward. The six mares come to a bridge with more dreglings and soldiers, they just walk forward and see two red eyed knights at the end, they ignored them and the six went forward. The six enter a courtyard and saw a giant knight with a lance and shield, Rarity screamed in shock at his size, "Whoa! This guy is huge!" Rainbow Dash said, "Can we go? He's scaring me." Fluttershy said, the others agree and they saw eight archers watching them, they go through the double doors. The six walk forward and saw carriages with wolves in them, they go up the stairs to their left and see an overweight man, "Ugh, I cannot say his big stomach is attractive." Rarity said, and they keep walking, they saw guards who could turn invisible, which scared them, they keep walking around the area until they arrived at a place filled with statues, a knight with a sword was there, "Whoa, that guy looks fast." Rainbow Dash said, "Indeed, I would not want to get on his bad side." Rarity replied, "Yeah, I don't think he's someone we want to anger, let's keep going, we still have a lot of places to explore." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go past him. The six keep walking and see more soldiers, knights, invisible soldiers, and overweight men with axes, they pass them until they came to a palace, they enter and go up the elevator, they look and saw a man sitting in a throne, wielding a black sword in his right hand, "What are you six doing in my kingdom?" the man asked, "We're here to explore this place, and report back to our home." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Are you six are from within the fog?" the man asked, "What fog?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The fog that contains the demons." the man replied, "Uh, no." Twilight Sparkle said, "I see." the man replied, "Well, down to business, my name is Twilight Sparkle, I am a princess from Equestria." Twilight Sparkle said, "My name is Allant, I am the king of this country." the man replied, "Oh right, the sign back there did say this kingdom's name." Pinkie Pie said, "Yes, you are in Boletaria, I am King Allant XII of Boletaria." King Allant replied, "Really? Wow, twelve generations of ruling a kingdom." Twilight Sparkle said, "I am king for a reason." King Allant replied, "Uh, Twilight, Ah'm gettin' a bad feelin' from that sword of his, it feels like demonic energy." Applejack said, "Me too, Applejack, it's very uncomfortable." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Ah think if we fight him, we ain't gonna live for that long." Applejack said, "Yeah, I keep getting the feeling that he's really strong." Rainbow Dash replied, "I am the king for good reason, if you're done here, then leave." King Allant said, and the six go back to their hot air balloon and depart. The Mane Six go to the northwest and see a castle, they land and knock on the door, an old man opens it, "Yes?" the man asked, "Uh, yes, we're here to see the ruler." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Right this way." the man said, and he leads them, they walk and they hear arguing, "Your majesty, that man has been of trouble." a male voice said, "There is nothing we can do, he is the one who is said to save us from the monsters." another male voice replied, "Save us? He has been causing more trouble than solving them." a third male voice said, the man leads them in and Mane Six see a round table with knights, "Your majesty, we have guests from the land to our west." the old man said, "Ah, yes, I heard about them in Shadowstorm yesterday, so they have come here." the king said, "I am Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria, what's your name?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Arthur, king of Camelot." the king replied, surprising the Mane Six, "Would ya look at that? Canterlot, Camelot." Applejack said, "Yes, what similar names." Fluttershy replied, "We are the Knights of the Round Table, we all equal in power." King Arthur said, surprising the six mares, "Well, I need your names as well." Twilight Sparkle said, "I am Sir Lancelot of the Lake, the only knight to ever beat King Arthur in a jousting match, and father of Sir Galahad, the greatest knight in Camelot." Sir Lancelot said, surprising the six mares, they were very impressed as well, "I am Sir Gawain, nephew of King Arthur, his sister, Morgause, and King Lot are my parents, I am the next heir to the throne, I am the only knight to challenge and defeat the Green Knight." Sir Gawain said, the six mares realized he was royalty as well, "I am Prince Geraint, husband of Lady Enid." Prince Geraint said, Rarity was swooned by him as the other five smiled, "I am Sir Percival, one of King Arthur's most loyal knights, I retrieved his sword when it was once stolen by the fairies." Sir Percival said, Rainbow Dash had a liking to him, "I am Sir Bors the Younger, son of Sir Bors the Elder, Sir Lancelot and I grew up together, I am one of King Arthur's most loyal and faithful allies, and one of his strongest, I have saved this kingdom from three dragons once, I slayed them all with one slash." Sir Bors the Younger said, the Mane Six liked him, even though the dragon slaying part made them uncomfortable, "I am Sir Lamorak, brother of Sir Percival, I have the power of thirty knights, I am King Arthur's third best knight." Sir Lamorak said, Applejack had a liking of him, "I am Sir Kay, foster brother of King Arthur, and one of his first allies." Sir Kay said, Applejack also liked him for being loyal to his family, so did Rainbow Dash, "I am Sir Gareth, I have defeated the Red Knight, the Blue Knight, the Green Knight, and the Black Knight." Sir Gareth said, the six mares clap, Twilight Sparkle got the feeling that the four knights were very powerful, "I am Sir Bedivere, one of King Arthur's first allies, I only have one hand, I lost my other one in a battle." Sir Bedivere said, the Mane Six were impressed, Twilight Sparkle wondered if she could fix his hand, "I am Sir Gaheris, nephew of King Arthur, a birth defect has made my left arm shorter than my right arm." Sir Gaheris said, Twilight Sparkle wondered if she could fix it, "I am Sir Galahad, son of Sir Lancelot, and the greatest knight in Camelot, I am one of King Arthur's most loyal followers." Sir Galahad said, Rainbow Dash thought he was awesome, "I am Sir Tristan, one of King Arthur's best warriors, but my skill is not with the sword, it is with the bow." Sir Tristan said, the six mares clapped, "I am Sir Palamedes, son of a king from Babylon, and slayer of the Questing Beast." Sir Palamedes said, the six mares were surprised to hear he was royalty, but did not like the fact he killed an animal, "That man who brought you six in is also famous." King Arthur said, "Wait, really?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Yes, my name is Merlin, I am the most powerful wizard in this land." the man replied, "Well, Ah'll be." Applejack said, a man came in shortly afterwards, "King Arthur, the guest is still being troublesome." the man said, "Troublesome? It ain't my fault I'm in a land full of primitive screwheads." Ash replied as he walked into the room with King Arthur and the others, the six mares were surprised to see him, they can tell his outfit was very different from the people in the continent, Rarity took off the helmet of her hazmat suit to look at him, "Who is this?" Applejack asked, "Name's Ash, apparently, I'm their supposed chosen one to save their land from destruction." Ash replied, "I must say, that shirt you're wearing looks hideous." Rarity said, "It's wear and tear damage, lady." Ash replied, King Arthur stood up and walked to him, "Now, Ash, this is not a good time for you to be, I have visitors to attend to." King Arthur said, "Yeah, so do I, and I suggest you attend to them before they end up killing you and your entire kingdom." Ash replied, "We are fine, our armor will protect us." King Arthur said, Ash punched King Arthur in the face with his left fist, the Mane Six become shocked when he fell, Rarity exclaimed with shock at what she just saw, "It didn't protect you against that, did it?" Ash asked, King Arthur stood up, "You six should go, this is going to take a while." King Arthur said, "But we still have to learn who else is here." Twilight Sparkle replied, "This is the last guy, he's a bit troublesome, but not too bad." Merlin said, "I will be if you idiots don't help me get home." Ash replied, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said while she walked forward, Ash looked at her, "It seems you need a lesson in friendship." Twilight Sparkle said, "My chainsaw and my boomstick are all the friends I need." Ash replied, "What in tarnation is a chainsaw and a boomstick?" Applejack asked, "Don't you have a shotgun at home?" Ash asked, "Actually, no." Applejack replied, "Well, that's what a boomstick is, my chainsaw is here on my hand." Ash said, the six look at his right hand, Fluttershy was scared by it, "Ooh, that looks perfect for slicing and dicing cake." Pinkie Pie said, "It cuts much more than that." Ash replied, "I must say, though, that chainsaw on your hand does look pretty cool." Rainbow Dash said, "Thanks, I had to go through a lot to get this." Ash replied, "You six should leave." Sir Lancelot said, "Yeah, attending to him is going to take time." Sir Percival said, and the six mares leave. The six go back into the hot air balloon and see a mountain to the northwest of Camelot, there were creatures with brown fur and three eyes there, they go to them and see the trolls were eating meat, Pinkie Pie screamed in shock as they landed, the trolls were ready to attack, "Stand down." a male voice said, they saw a troll wearing black armor walking to them, "What are you six doing here, in Stargra?" the troll asked, "We're here as ambassadors from Equestria." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Turn back, outsiders are not welcome here." the troll said, "I still need to the name of ruler for Princess Celestia." Twilight Sparkle replied, "That's me, I am King Karstaag." the troll said, "Um, you look stressed, maybe we can talk things out." Fluttershy said, "I am no animal, horse." King Karstaag replied, the six became offended, "We're ponies!" Twilight Sparkle said in an annoyed tone, "It matters not, get out, or you six will be our next meal." King Karstaag replied, the Mane Six become scared and get in the hot air balloon and leave, "Oh, I cannot believe him, how rude." Rarity said, "No kiddin', he said they were gonna eat us if we step hoof on their land." Applejack replied, "Well, we can see them from here, and I don't think it looks very good." Rainbow Dash said, they look and saw trolls fighting and killing one another, along with eating flesh of dead visitors, Twilight Sparkle quickly moves the hot air balloon away while looking away from them. The six go south and arrive into a kingdom that was always night, they saw bats and rats everywhere, Rarity exclaimed with shock, they landed and walked out, the citizens look at them, "We were expecting you, this way." a male vampire said, and he leads them, the six mares look around and see soldiers impaled on spikes, they were everywhere in the kingdom, it made them uncomfortable. The six arrive at a castle and go into a room, there was a long table with food and glasses with red liquid in them, a man sat across from them, "Thank you, that is all, you may leave." the man sitting said, and the other man left, "Welcome to Transylvania, I am Count Dracula, the ruler of this kingdom." the man said, "Well, I must say, what a feast you have prepared." Rarity replied, "Yes, you can thank my servants for that." Count Dracula said, "So, what do you guys do, Dracula?" Rainbow Dash asked, "We are creatures of the night, we cannot enter sunlight, please I'd like to welcome you all properly, we greet guests by biting their necks." Count Dracula replied, the six became hesitant, "Uh, can we skip the neck biting, Dracula?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, please, darling, bite marks on my perfect skin, it will ruin my photo shoots." Rarity said, "Very well, but come to me if you change your minds." Count Dracula replied, the Mane Six were uncomfortable, "I'll help myself to a drink, this wine does look appetizing." Rarity said, and she takes a sip while lifting the glass with her unicorn horn, she spits out the drink, "This doesn't taste like wine." Rarity said, Applejack put her left front hoof in the drink, it stuck to her hoof, shocking her, "It's blood!" Applejack said, Pinkie Pie and Rarity screamed, "Yes, it is our main food source, and the most nutritious to us." Count Dracula replied, "No way, I am not drinking this." Twilight Sparkle said, Count Dracula sniffs the air, "Wait a minute." Count Dracula said, he stands up and walks to Fluttershy, she quivered in fear, he leans towards her and smells her, "You have the scent of a vampire." Count Dracula said, Fluttershy quivered in fear again, "Uh, Dracula, we have to get going." Twilight Sparkle said, "Very well, remember you are welcome to come back here if you change your minds and wish to have your necks bitten." Count Dracula replied, and the six left, they went back to their hot air balloon and left, "That guy was super creepy." Pinkie Pie said, "Yes, he really scared me." Fluttershy replied, "Let's go to the next area, this place gives me the creeps." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go east. The Mane Six land and see men waiting for them, "What the? There are strange humans coming here in a round bird." a man said, "No, Percy, that's looks like some kind of balloon." another man replied, "What shall we do, Baldrick?" Percy asked, "They are said to be the foreigners, I'll go get Lord Blackadder." Baldrick replied, and he left and came back with Blackadder, "They're right here, my lord." Baldrick said, Blackadder looked around, "I don't see the ambassadors anywhere." Blackadder replied, "No, Blackadder, it's these quadrupedal creatures here." Baldrick said, Blackadder looks at them, "Bah! Those are just mere horses to ride on, where are the humans?" Blackadder asked, "No, Blackadder, the ambassadors are not human, they're those creatures there." Baldrick said, "Creature? You mean as in monsters?! Destroy them!" Percy said, "No, no, they're just here to speak, they mean us no harm." Baldrick replied, "Well, where are they? I don't see them anywhere." Percy said, Twilight Sparkle was getting very impatient, "They're right there, Lord Percy." Baldrick replied, "Where? I don't see any of them, either." Blackadder said, "I'm right here!" Twilight Sparkle said in a very annoyed tone, Percy screamed, "That horse spoke!" Percy said, "I saw it, too, we must be hallucinating." Blackadder replied, the Mane Six were getting extremely impatient, "No! I'm real!" Twilight Sparkle said angrily, "My lord, I have a cunning plan." Baldrick said, "What is it, Baldrick?" Blackadder asked, "If you tell those six who you are, you and Percy will be able to stop hallucinating and see and hear things normally." Baldrick replied, the Mane Six dropped their jaws, unable to believe how dimwitted they were, Blackadder went to them, "I am Prince Edmund Blackadder of England, the king was killed, I forgot how, but I run things now, those two there are my two most trusted people." Blackadder said, "I am Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria, I need to know who those two are as well." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I am Baldrick, Son of Robin the Dung Gatherer." Baldrick said, shocking the Mane Six, "Dung gatherer?!" Rarity asked, "I was also a dung shoveller before my current job, it is a highly respectable job." Baldrick replied, "Respectable?! That job is disgusting!" Rarity said, the other five mares agreed, "I am Lord Percy, Duke of Northumberland." Percy said, "Okay, that's all I needed, let's just go, girls." Twilight Sparkle said, and the six leave through the hot air balloon. The Mane Six arrive in the southwest of the continent and see a lot of stone there, fire comes out from under the ground and is shot at them, the Mane Six duck while Pinkie Pie screams, "Wait, stop." a male voice said, and they do, the Mane Six land and a male dwarf comes out from under the ground, "What was that about?" Applejack asked, "Our apologies, we thought it was a deadite." the dwarf replied, "A deadite?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Special type of demons that plague this land, we all fight to protect ourselves from them." the dwarf said, surprising the six, "I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria, here on behalf of Princess Celestia." Twilight Sparkle said, "I am King Flamma, the dwarf king, this place is called Azerlisia, and I'm sorry, we don't allow outsiders in our land." the dwarf replied, "Why not?" Applejack asked, "We are living in an underground city, and the foreigners like to break part of our homes to take to their homes as souvenirs, we can't let you six in." King Flamma replied, surprising them, "Uh, can we have a look?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I'm not too sure on that." King Flamma replied, "Pretty please, we don't want to go back to our princess empty handed." Fluttershy said, "I guess, but don't touch anything, our architecture is very fragile." King Flamma replied, "Thank you, you will be happy you did." Twilight Sparkle said, and the six go into the hole. The Mane Six walk around while King Flamma keeps a close eye on them, they see their underground cities were gray and made from rock, the dwarfs were masters of fire and earth magic, and had great physical strength and endurance, the six were in awe, but left soon, "Thank you, we'll be going now." Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright, and thank you for not breaking anything." King Flamma replied, "You're welcome." Pinkie Pie said, "Come on, girls, I think we're close to done." Twilight Sparkle said, and they took off in the hot air balloon. The Mane Six go to the southwest of the country and see a forest, "Ooh, that place looks pretty." Pinkie Pie said, "Yes, Pinkie, it does look pretty nice." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they begin to land, "Hey, look, giant mushrooms." Applejack said, "Oh, they're so beautiful, I can't wait to see all of the tiny little critters living there." Fluttershy replied, and they land. The Mane Six land and saw the people there were humanoid and had pointed ears, a male elderly one went to them, "Welcome to Ringford, the elf village, I am Elder Lazlo, the ruler and village elder." the elf said, "Thank you, I am Twilight Sparkle, these five are my royal escorts." Twilight Sparkle replied, "This way, the elves have been expecting you." Elder Lazlo said, and he leads them. The Mane Six see walking trees and waste everywhere, "There's a lot of bodily waste in this area." Rainbow Dash said, "Well, we are in a forest, Rainbow Dash, so I guess it's to be expected." Applejack replied, they see the butterflies in the country had glowing wings, Fluttershy was in awe, "Do you have anymore critters than butterflies?" Fluttershy asked, "Yes, we also have tigers, don't be afraid, they're friendly." Elder Lazlo replied, and they see the tigers, they had black fur with green and purple spots, Fluttershy greeted them and they rubbed their heads against her happily, she petted them and kept going with her friends. The elves were a peaceful and friendly species, they were seen using magic to control wood, and were alchemists, "Wow, this place is pretty nice." Twilight Sparkle said, "Thank you, it took us years to make the area like this." Elder Lazlo replied, "I'm sure it did, but we have to go now." Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright, good luck on your journey." Elder Lazlo replied, the six smiled and took off in the hot air balloon. The Mane Six were about to go to the southernmost area of the continent, they saw what appeared to be a fort, arrows were shot at them and Pinkie Pie and Rarity screamed, they look and saw the orcs aiming bows and arrows at them, "Ugh, I must say, they do look rather ugly." Rarity said, "I'm going to land the balloon, we'll be shot down at this rate." Twilight Sparkle said, and she does. The Mane Six step out and the orcs aimed their bow and arrows at them, shocking them, "Turn back and leave, no outsiders are allowed in Urgar." a female orc said, "Wait, we come in peace." Twilight Sparkle replied, "It matters not, any non-orc who tries to enter shall die." the orc said, shocking the six, "Uh, we still need to meet the ruler of you guys, for the record if we do open trade with one another." Fluttershy replied, "Like Regent Urub will ever do trade with you milk drinkers." the orc said, "Milk drinker?!" Rarity asked with shock, "We're ponies, we don't drink milk." Applejack said, "Begone, you ponies look like typical outsider weaklings." the orc replied, "Weakling?! That is it! Come down here and fight us!" Rainbow Dash said angrily, the orc chuckled, "Look at that, it looks like you guys actually have some backbone after all." the orc replied, "I'll be their opponent." a male orc said, the other orcs look at the front door with shock, "But, Regent Urub." the female orc said, "It's fine, let's see how strong they really are. Open the gate." Regent Urub replied, and they open, the orc was wearing dark green armor, "This is a regular fist fight, so no magic or weapons, this is also one-on-one, so one of you six have to fight me directly." Regent Urub said, Rainbow Dash was nervous, "Rainbow Dash, Ah think it'll be best if you let me handle this." Applejack said, Rainbow Dash nodded in agreement, Applejack walked forward, "Are you my challenger?" Regent Urub asked, "Darn right, Ah accept yer challenge." Applejack replied, Regent Urub smiles and raises his fists while Applejack stood on her hind hoofs. Regent Urub punches Applejack in her left cheek with his right fist, Applejack grunted loudly and almost fell onto the ground, her five friends looked away, Applejack's cheek turned purple, she focused and hit Regent Urub in the face with her front right hoof, he laughed, "Is that all you got?" Regent Urub asked, and he punched her in her right cheek with his left fist, it was not as strong as his right fist, but did sting a little, Applejack hit him in the face with her front left hoof, Regent Urub grunted and spit flew out of his mouth, he hit Applejack in the face with his right fist, she grunted felt one of her teeth get loose, she hit him in the face with her right front hoof harder than before, Regent Urub grunted a little, "Not bad, I was wrong about you." Regent Urub said, and he punched her in the face with his right fist and then hit her in her right cheek with his left fist, the two hits were fast, Applejack could not keep up, she grunted from both hits, Applejack lets out an annoyed grunt and focuses, she focuses and she does several fast hits with her front hooves and hit Regent Urub's face a total of ten times, he grunted a bit and still stood, he smiled and chuckled, "You've got backbone, I'll give you that, you lasted a lot longer than most of my opponents. Let them in, they've got a good fighter." Regent Urub said, and the gates opened. The Mane Six enter while smiling and see they lived a warrior life, they were fighting, training, doing blacksmith work in their free time, mining ores, and eating and drinking at certain times, "Where's the true ruler?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Excuse me?" Regent Urub asked, "You said you're just a regent, I'd like to see the true ruler." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Oh, about that, there is no king or queen in our culture, regent is the supreme ruler." Regent Urub said, surprising the six, "Well, we have to get going now." Twilight Sparkle said, "Farewell." Regent Urub replied, and the six took off in the hot air balloon. The six go to the southeastern forest next, "Ooh, I see bright lights in there." Pinkie Pie said, "They look like fireflies to me." Fluttershy replied, "I don't see any mushrooms, though." Twilight Sparkle said, Rainbow Dash looked, "It looks like a typical village to me." Rainbow Dash said, they look and see the houses were made of wood, "Well, there are plenty of trees there." Rarity replied, "Yeah, plenty, maybe Ah can ask to trade for some to rebuild the barn whenever it gets damaged." Applejack said, and they land. The six mares arrive into the village and saw the natives looked human, but the males had eagle-like wings, and the females had butter-fly like wings. Rarity chuckled at seeing them, "I must say, what beautiful wings they have." Rarity said, a male fairy in fancy clothes flies to them and lands, "Are you the magical beings from the other land?" the fairy asked, "Why, yes, we're from Equestria." Twilight Sparkle replied, "We were expecting you, the waters on our grounds showed us your arrivals, this is Lainca, the forest of the fairies, I am the ruler, Counselor Melvin, King Oberon and Queen Titania stepped down from ruling recently." the fairy said, "Why did they step down for?" Rarity asked, "They were tired of ruling after many years, and wanted to relax for once." Counselor Melvin replied, "Oh, I know the feeling, I have a lot of responsibilities as a princess, myself." Twilight Sparkle said, Counselor Melvin chuckled, "Can we explore the forest?" Fluttershy asked, "Of course, make yourself at home." Counselor Melvin replied, the six mares thanked him and walked around. The six mares look around and saw the fairies were omnivores, watching them eat meat made them very uneasy, they look and see the fairies sang songs and were practicing in magic and alchemy, they used fire, water, earth, and wind magic, "Wow, this magic is pretty strong." Twilight Sparkle said, "Indeed, strongest in the land." Counselor Melvin replied from behind, startling the six mares, "Don't sneak up on us like that." Rainbow Dash said, "My deepest apologies." Counselor Melvin replied, "Where are all of the animals at?" Fluttershy asked, "Look into the trees." Counselor Melvin replied, and Fluttershy did, she saw squirrels in the trees, they had glowing green symbols on them, "Aw, you all look so cute." Fluttershy said as she flew to them, she looks around and sees walking trees, they carried birds with them, the birds were also glowing with green symbols on them, "What's with the symbols?" Fluttershy asked, "We have so much magic, our fauna got enchanted with it as well." Counselor Melvin replied, surprising the six, "Is there anything else you all want to know?" Counselor Melvin asked, "Sorry, but we have to go to the rest of the lands, we don't have time, we'll be leaving now." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Alright, good day to you all." Counselor Melvin said, and the six leave in the hot air balloon. The six mares go to the east of the country and there was a raging blizzard there, the hot air balloon began moving around, the six let out several exclaims of shock, the hot air balloon crashes and they see humans, they try to walk forward to in front of the entrance, no one was there, so they entered. The Mane Six walk around and see the humans there, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, the humans look at her, "Where can we see this area's ruler?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "This way." a male guard replied, and he leads them, Pinkie Pie did not like the cold weather, "Oh, this area is making me feel down." Pinkie Pie said, "Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll." the guard replied, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no one takes a sweetroll from Pinkie." Pinkie Pie said, "Are you six of any importance?" the guard asked, "I'm a princess, my brother is also married to a princess." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Ah, so your brother is just like me, took an arrow to the knee." the guard said, "Uh, no, my brother never got shot in the knee." Twilight Sparkle replied, the guard did not respond, "We're here." the guard said, and he left, the six entered the palace. The six see a man in the throne and go to him, Twilight Sparkle was very annoyed by him slouching in the throne, "Yes, make it quick, I'm a very busy man." the man said, "I am Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria, these five are my royal escorts, I am here to meet the ruler of this place." Twilight Sparkle replied, "My name is Ulfric Stormcloak, this place is called Windhelm, I am the city's Jarl." the man said, surprising the six, "Wait, Jarl?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Is something the matter?" Ulfric Stormcloak asked, "The other rulers of your kind were called kings." Applejack replied, "Each area uses a different title for ruler, this kingdom's title for the ruler is Jarl." Ulfric Stormcloak said, "Oh." Applejack said, "I don't mean to be rude or anything, Ulfric, but you slouching in your throne is kind of bothering me." Twilight Sparkle said, "All rulers sat like this when I was younger." Ulfric Stormcloak replied, greatly shocking Twilight Sparkle, she did not like his posture at all, "If you're done, then leave, I have errands to attend to." Ulfric Stormcloak said, "Oh, we'll be going, we're done here." Twilight Sparkle replied, and Ulfric Stormcloak stood up and walked to the room to the left, the six left, moved the hot air balloon out of the snowstorm, and took off, "I can't believe he slouches in his throne, Princess Celestia would never let me sit like that." Twilight Sparkle said, "I must agree, as a prim and proper lady, me sitting like that would make me lose my dignity." Rarity replied, "How many more places do we have to visit?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I believe just two more, and we're done." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Good, Ah'll admit, Ah am gettin' a bit tired." Applejack said, "Me too, I hope my animals are alright." Fluttershy replied, "This land has not been so fun." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, we'll all be able to rest when we do these two, let's go." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go to the east of Windhelm. The Mane Six arrive at another forest, but this one did not have any magic, they see several straw huts there, they land and see humans looking at them, a male walks to them, "What are you six doing here?" the human asked, "We're ambassadors from Equestria." Twilight Sparkle replied, the man smiled, "Why are you smiling like that?" Rarity asked, "Sorry, it's hard for us to not think of you six as food." the man replied, shocking them, "F... Food?!" Rarity asked, "Yeah, you see, we're werewolves, we eat meat, this country is called Lycan, I am the ruler, Chief Jason." the man replied, "Uh, y'all look like them regular people to me." Applejack said, "That's because there hasn't been a full moon for sometime, we change to our true forms when that happens." Chief Jason replied, "Uh, during another one of my travels, I read books on werewolves, it said you guys are enemies with the vampires." Twilight Sparkle said, "Oh, that's exaggerated propaganda, the vampires are our best friends." Chief Jason replied, "Oh, well, I have to learn your culture and customs for my homeland." Twilight Sparkle said, "We can't teach you everything." Chief Jason replied, "That's fine, just show me what you can show me." Twilight Sparkle said, and Chief Jason leads them. The Mane Six see the werewolves were carnivores and drank blood, much to their uneasiness, the werewolves were hunters, they used mostly spears and bows and arrows, and lived together as one, they did not have any music, and the only fashion they were as humans were the hide of other animals, which made Fluttershy very uncomfortable, "Well, that is all." Chief Jason said, "Okay, we'll be off now." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the Mane Six take off in the hot air balloon, "Okay, one more place, and we're done." Twilight Sparkle said, "Good, I could use a nap." Rainbow Dash replied, "Me too." Fluttershy said, "Well, we're already at the last area." Twilight Sparkle said, and they land on the northeastern part of the land. The Mane Six arrive into the last area and they see the humanoid creatures had sky blue skin, white monochromatic eyes, two holes for their noses, and black claws in place of fingers and toes, some of them had hair, they were straight, black, and long, the males had hair that went down to their scapulae, the other males were bald, while the females had hair that went down to their lower backs, "Oh my, what long hair they have, it is perfect to style in fashion." Rarity said, "We don't like our hairs styled." a male creature said, he walked to them, "I am Chief Isbar, the ruler of these people, this place is called Necronomicra." the male creature said, "What are you guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We're ghouls." Chief Isbar replied, "Ghouls?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, we're creatures of the night." Chief Isbar replied, "Well, we need to see what this country is like." Twilight Sparkle said, "Go ahead and look around." Chief Isbar replied, and the six walk around. The Mane Six see the ghouls were practitioners of black magic and necromancy, this made them very uncomfortable, "Isn't that type of magic forbidden in Equestria?" Rarity asked, "No, we've never seen that type of magic before." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the six keep looking, they see the ghouls using necromancy and then mind control to control the dead bodies, making them into zombies, the Mane Six were very uncomfortable, they also saw the ghouls ate meat and drank blood, making them even more uncomfortable. The Mane Six went back to Chief Isbar, "Okay, I think we've seen enough." Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright, good day to you six." Chief Isbar replied, and they take off in the hot air balloon, Twilight Sparkle sighed in relief while Rarity took her hazmat suit off, "We're finally done." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, Ah can use a break, too." Applejack replied, "I hope my animals are okay." Fluttershy said, "Still, Ah can't believe that first guy lied to us." Applejack said, "About what, darling?" Rarity asked, "He said that the other places were even dirtier, but they turned out to be cleaner." Applejack replied, "Well, you do have a point there, but he was also right to an extent, Applejack, the vampire kingdom had dead bodies on spikes, several places had meat as food, and that one place has feces cleaner as a highly respectable job, all in all, that entire land is dirty." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, when we go back there, first order of business for me is to teach them hygiene." Rarity replied, "I agree, Rarity, I can't believe how filthy that land is." Twilight Sparkle said, "Me neither, I can't find anything fun in all of that filth." Pinkie Pie replied, "I can." Fluttershy said, "Uh, how, Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Because my cottage is just as dirty or even dirtier on some days." Fluttershy replied, "That is a sight I most definitely don't want to see." Rarity said, "Me neither, well, we can rest once when we get home." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they head to Equestria. The dragons in the Dragon Lands continue practicing the Thu'um, they were very powerful, and loud, some of the hippogriffs came out of the water, "What is that noise?" Princess Skystar asked, she looks and saw the dragons using the Thu'um, which shocked her, she has never seen such power, but she was not the only one uneasy, Princess Celestia was watching from the balcony of her castle, she was very nervous that the dragons would be too strong in the future. Spike and Smolder were doing Thu'um competitions outside, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Silverstream, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle were watching and cheering, "Yol Toor Shul!" Smolder said, she shot fire out of her mouth, "Fo Krah Diin!" Spike said, he shot ice out of his mouth, they canceled each other out, "I must say, that dragon breath thing is pretty cool." Gallus said, "Best shouting competition ever!" Silverstream said, "How long did it take y'all to learn 'em?" Apple Bloom asked, "Yeah, how long did it take?" Sandbar asked, "Well, it's actually a natural ability." Smolder replied, "Yeah, dragons are just born with it." Spike said, "Doesn't it hurt your lungs and throat?" Scootaloo asked, "Not really." Spike replied, "What else can you guys do?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Watch this. Strun Bah Qo!" Smolder replied and a downpour appeared, lightning strikes began falling, the ponies screamed, shocking everyone, "Lok Vah Koor!" Spike said, and the skies cleared, relieving all of them, "Yona actually scared of dragon power." Yona said, "Me too, I tried the shouts after changing into a dragon, I can't do it." Ocellus replied, "Yeah, it's kind of a dragon only ability." Smolder said, "Like how telekinesis is only for those with horns?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Or like how flight is only for those with wings?" Silverstream asked, "Kind of." Smolder replied, "Still, it looks like the yaks and earth ponies have no powers." Scootaloo said, "We do, Scootaloo, earth ponies make crops grow." Apple Bloom replied, "Yeah, we have superpony strength, speed, and endurance when compared to other ponies, too." Sandbar said, "Yona has super strength as well." Yona said, "And us Pegasi can walk on clouds." Scootaloo replied, they all smiled, "Excuse me, you two." Princess Cadence said as she ran to Spike and Smolder, "I'm going to have to ask you two to stop shouting, you two caused a downpour in the Crystal Empire, and woke up Flurry Heart." Princess Cadence said, embarrassing Spike and Smolder, they hear Flurry Heart crying in a distance, "Sorry." Spike and Smolder said, "Thank you, now if you two don't mind, I have to attend to my baby." Princess Cadence replied and she walked away, they all left and went home. Twilight Sparkle arrived home a few hours later and Spike went to her, "How was the trip?" Spike asked, "Less than pleasurable, Spike." Twilight Sparkle replied, "You okay?" Spike asked with worry, "Yes, Spike, I'm fine, just tired." Twilight Sparkle replied, Spike felt bad for her, "How was your day?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Eh, the usual, still practicing my shouting techniques." Spike replied, "I heard, a storm was caused in Equestria and Flurry Heart was awakened by the shouting." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, Smolder caused the storm, I had to use another shout to clear the skies." Spike replied, "Spike, that shout of yours that cleared the skies almost destroyed Cloudsdale, the clouds dispersed and the ponies almost fell to the ground." Twilight Sparkle said, "Oh, uh, sorry about that." Spike replied embarrassingly, "Come to my office tomorrow, I have something to tell you and Smolder, but as for now, get a paper ready, I have to send a letter to Princess Celestia about the new area." Twilight Sparkle said, Spike got the paper and quill ready, "Alright, I'm ready." Spike said, "Dear, Princess Celestia..." Twilight Sparkle said, and she tells Spike what to write down and what she discovered about the new continent in the Celestial Sea. The next day comes and Princess Luna had no problem in the dream realm last night, she had flowers against her snout to protect herself from the stench. Princess Celestia reads the letter Twilight Sparkle sent her, she was holding it up with telekinesis, she was shocked at what the letter said, she looked at it while she walked through a hallway, "Roads have feces in them? Food has cockroaches in them? Vampires have dead bodies impaled on spikes? Vampires drink blood? Dead animals are in the road? Some creatures eat meat? Some creatures are unfriendly and unwelcoming? One ruler slouches in his throne? Pigs and rats roam the streets? People have black and rotten teeth? People use urine to do laundry? People dump their feces in the road?!" Princess Celestia said as she read the letter, she was very shocked, she reads the rest, "People only bathe twice a year?! People put same dirty clothes back on after bath?! Bath water has fecal matter in it?!" Princess Celestia said with great shock, her eyes and mouth were wide open, the royal guards and Princess Luna overhear her, they were shocked and disgusted as well. Princess Luna went to Princess Celestia's left, "Let me see that." Princess Luna said, and she looks and reads the letter, she also saw parts of some people being friendly and welcoming, and the magic of the fairies, along with the magic of the ghouls, she sees the parts Princess Celestia said out loud and was very shocked, "This is disgusting!" Princess Luna said, "I couldn't agree more, sister, I really hope they start cleaning." Princess Celestia replied, "I still don't understand why the other countries are not reacting." Princess Luna said, "Now that you mention it, Luna, I do find that a bit strange as well, maybe they haven't gotten word of it, yet." Princess Celestia replied, and the two walk together. Tom tried to send the humans to Equestria by ship in hopes of getting to know them as well, "No, no, no! Turn back." Shining Armor said, the humans look at him with confusion, "Is something wrong?" a male human asked, "You guys are not coming into our kingdom smelling like that!" Princess Cadence replied, "Actually, we thought it'd be okay for us to come, since you all came to our land." another male human said, "You all can come when you wash yourselves, but until then, turn around." Shining Armor replied, "Come on, guys, let's just go home." a third male human said, and they get ready to leave, their foul stench goes into the Crystal Empire and the ponies cough and gag, their foul smell also woke up Flurry Heart, which made her cry, Princess Cadence becomes very shocked and flies to her to get her to go back to sleep, Shining Armor looks and saw the humans were leaving. Two days pass and the humans still did not clean up, the foul smell of their land was in the air, the ponies and Princess Ember went to Shadowstorm to see them, "Is something the matter?" Tom asked, "This is gross, I can't even step hoof on here without the fear of getting sick." Starlight Glimmer replied, Sunset Shimmer arrived shortly afterwards, "Ew! Twilight wasn't joking when she said this place is filthy." Sunset Shimmer said, "Great wickering stallions!" Doctor Whooves said as he came into the kingdom and saw how dirty it was, "This is disgusting! We'd like for you to clean up your kingdom." Princess Cadence said, "Really? We're a lot cleaner than we used to be." Tom said, shocking the people visiting them, "Look, guys, I can handle dirty places, but this is too dirty." Princess Ember said, "Then I assume you all are from a noble family." Tom replied, "No we ain't, Ah was raised on a farm." Applejack replied, "Me too." Pinkie Pie said, "So, what was the deal, exactly?" Tom asked, "Clean up your land, this is the dirtiest country I have ever seen." Princess Celestia replied, "It's not just my kingdom, is it?" Tom asked, "Of course not, all of the other kingdoms need to clean up their homes, too." Twilight Sparkle replied, "And if we don't?" Tom asked, "Then I will have walls around your land and label this entire area as quarantined." Princess Celestia replied, "Alright, let's get to cleaning, guys." Tom said, "Thank you, let us know when you all are done, me and the others shall teach you all proper hygiene." Rarity replied, and they left. The people on the continent clean the land while the others watch, "Hey, your majesty, what do we do with the dead bodies?" a male asked, "Throw it in the water." Tom replied, Pinkie Pie and Rarity screamed with shock while Twilight Sparkle flew to them, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! There are people living in the water!" Twilight Sparkle said, "Wait, there are?" Tom asked, "Yes, the seaponies." Twilight Sparkle replied, Queen Novo came out of the water in her hippogriff form, "What is that smell?" Queen Novo asked, she looks and saw the Medieval continent, she was disgusted by how dirty it was, "I am not going anywhere near there." Queen Novo said, and she went back into the water after changing to a seapony, Princess Skystar came out shortly afterwards as a hippogriff, "What is it, mother?" Princess Skystar asked, and she sees the continent, "Ugh, ew, ew, ew." Princess Skystar said as she looked at the land. The humans clean the dead animals and feces, while the vampires got rid of the dead bodies, they buried them into the ground. Rarity went over with clothes, "Okay, now that you all have finished cleaning, it is time for you all to learn about proper hygiene." Rarity said, she showed them how to brush their teeth, how to wash, how to shave, "Wait, you shave?" Blackadder asked, "Why, darling, yes, I do, it's hard to see, but I have very small hair on my face." Rarity replied, "That gives me an idea, Percy, Baldrick, we shall shave our horses when we get back home." Blackadder said, the natives of the continent just look at him annoyed while some shook their heads, there was a reason why Blackadder was the weakest ruler in the land, "Hey, Blackadder, I'm willing to use my chainsaw to shave your face if you pay me." Ash said, "Pay you, pay, pay, pay, pay, how do I do that?" Blackadder asked, Rarity let out a slight exclaim of shock at how dumb he was, "Don't, Blackadder, that chainsaw of his is no toy." King Arthur said, "Well, that's a shame, I would've liked to play with it." Blackadder replied, "Yeah, I wanted you to play with it, too." Ash said, "Well, moving on, it's time to teach you all how to wash properly." Rarity said, and she shows them, she used clean water in a pot, "First things first, the water must be clean, no solid objects of any kind in the water." Rarity said, she also used her telekinesis to give them the clothing she made, "Another thing, after you finish bathing, you put on a new, clean pair of clothes, not your old dirty ones." Rarity said, and the humans try, they got it done quite easily, the other creatures in the land did not participate. Rarity finished and Twilight Sparkle came, "Okay, now, let's get some nice, clean toilets installed." Twilight Sparkle said, and she put toilets in the bathrooms, while the other unicorns and Pegasi made sewer systems, the ponies showed them how to use them, the humans saw how easy it was, the ponies were starting to become happy at seeing the country get cleaner, the liquid and solid waste into a body of water that was not used by anyone. Sunset Shimmer walks around and cleans any regular trash, she also used telekinesis to get the feces out of the water, the humans sweep the road while Sunset Shimmer looked around, "Hey, you guys missed a spot." Sunset Shimmer said, and Tom cleaned it, Shadowstorm was completely clean, "Yay!" Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle said as they ran around and played in the road, "There, now you guys can come to our land." Shining Armor said, "Well, go on and go, guys." Tom said, and they do, the humans explore Equestria and look around, they liked it, they came back with reports of the land later that day. Five days pass and the natives of the continent did not have any relationship with Equestria yet, nor did they with Seaquestria or Mount Aris, the people on the Medieval continent did not interact with the hippogriffs or seaponies at all. The day to pay the taxes comes and everypony watched them go over to pay taxes to Shadowstorm since it was the capital kingdom, "Wow, they have taxes, too." Twilight Sparkle said, "Hey, wait a minute, somethin' ain't right." Applejack replied, they look and saw they were going to the church instead of to Tom's castle. The Mane Six go to the land and run to them, "Excuse me, what are you guys doing?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We're paying our taxes." Prince Geraint replied, "But why ain't y'all goin' to Tom for?" Applejack asked, "I'm just a figurehead." Tom replied, "What?" Pinkie Pie asked, "We all are, the leader of the church is this land's true ruler." King Arthur replied, shocking the six. Princess Celestia overheard them and flew to them, she walked to them after landing, "If I am not mistaken, you all are just figureheads, and those who control religion are the ones who truly rule this land." Princess Celestia said, "Yes, the church is more powerful than royalty." Count Dracula replied, he wore a cloak to keep himself hidden from the sun, he also wore white clothing instead of black clothing, "What? That doesn't sound right." Rarity said, "Sorry, that's how our land is." King Allant replied, "Well, their land, my kingdom isn't influenced by the church." Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak said, "Our land has been at war with them." Baldrick said, the seven mares were not happy, "I would like to meet the members of this church." Twilight Sparkle said, "Whoa, wait, the church has a lot of members." Counselor Melvin replied, "Well, tell them to come out here to meet us." Twilight Sparkle said, the church opens and a group of humans came out, they wore knight armor, but also had white cloaks over their armor, each cloak had a red cross on it, "Who are these guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, "They are the Knights Templar, the church's first line of defense." Chief Isbar replied, "Who's their commander?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I am." Tom replied, "Okay, who are the next people?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the church's roof flies open and the seven demons in the church come out, they were huge, scaring the seven mares, they float forward, "Who are you guys?" Princess Celestia asked, "We are the Seven Princes of Hell." Lucifer replied, "Identify yourselves." Princess Celestia said, "Lucifer, Prince of Pride." Lucifer said, "Leviathan, Prince of Envy." Leviathan said, "Mammon, Prince of Greed." Mammon said, "Beelzebub, Prince of Gluttony." Beelzebub said, "Belphegor, Prince of Sloth." Belphegor said, "Asmodeus, Prince of Lust." Asmodeus said, "Satan, Prince of Wrath." Satan said, shocking the mares, "Pride? Envy? Greed? Gluttony? Sloth? Lust? Wrath? This church sounds like it spreads hatred instead of friendship." Princess Celestia said, "Well, what they represent is known to us as the seven deadly sins." Tom replied, "Seven deadly sins?" Fluttershy asked, "Yes, pride is the worst one, we believe it leads to the other six happening." Tom replied, "Well, I'll ask about that later, I need to meet the rest of the members of the church." Twilight Sparkle said, "This way." Tom replied, and he leads them into the church. The seven mares enter and a portal was on the floor, they go in it and were taken to a place, it was fiery, they hear screams of agony as well, which scared the mares, they walk around and see demons everywhere, "Members of the church, you all have visitors." Tom said, and they hear walking, "Come on, we have to get out now." Tom said, and they leave and Tom led them back outside. A few minutes pass and the demons of Solomon appeared, scaring the seven mares, "Okay, I'll make this quick, state your name, title if you have one, if more than one, then state all of your titles, your occupations, and your powers."

Princess Celestia replied, and she walked back, Ash was getting the feeling he will not get along with her, "Well, let's go ahead and pay." King Allant said, and they do, the rest of the day goes on with nothing eventful happening. The next day comes and the ponies see the dragons, griffons, yaks, and changelings on the continent, the yaks got there by boat. The ponies thought they were finally going over to see who the newcomers to the world were, which made Twilight Sparkle happy. Volvox was with Dragon Lord Torch, they smiled at one another, "Good to have you back, Torch." Volvox said, "It's good to be back." Dragon Lord Torch replied, Volvox smiled, "Yes, it's time for the griffons to reserve you, just like how King Grover did long ago, I am willing to be your adviser once again." Grampa Gruff said, "Good to have you back, too, Gruff." Volvox replied, "Yaks honored to serve Emperor Volvox once again, just like how Prince Rutherford's father did long ago."

Pharynx said, "Yes, it's great to be under your rule again, Emperor Volvox." King Thorax said, "I'm glad to have you guys back, too, I hope you're as good as a ruler as King Metamorphosis was." Volvox replied, "You will not be disappointed, Emperor Volvox." King Thorax said, Volvox smiled, "Hey! Wait a minute! Stop! Stop! Stop!" Twilight Sparkle said as she flew to them, the rest of the ponies went to him, the hippogriffs went as well, "What is this about serving him once again?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Oh, uh, you see, Headmare Twilight, Emperor Volvox was the original ruler for the changelings long before we came to this world." Ocellus replied, "Yak served under Emperor Volvox before, too, King Bison pledged alliance to him." Yona said, "King Grover served under him as well, so did Grampa Gruff, he's the original ruler for the griffons." Gallus said, "The dragons were his first allies after the demons, Dragon Lord Torch served as one of his military generals." Smolder said, the ponies and hippogriffs were shocked, "How long ago was this?" Queen Novo asked, "Uh, maybe about seven hundred to eight hundred years ago, yaks not remember." Yona replied, "It was sometime before Princess Celestia became the ruler of Equestria, I think she was still a filly when we served under Emperor Volvox." Smolder said, "I demand to know why you all originally served under him." Princess Luna said, "The deadites were attacking us, Emperor Volvox saved us from extinction, and he offered us to join him in his fight, it was also for our survival, that's why we served under him." Grampa Gruff replied, "Yes, and unfortunately, three of the four original rulers of you guys are dead." Volvox said, "Wait, you were ruler of the dragons at that time, too, father?" Princess Ember asked, "Shortly before we came here, I was the ruler of the dragons already, I am the only original ruler left from when we served under Emperor Volvox." Dragon Lord Torch replied, surprising everycreature, "What did you guys do when serving under him?" Sandbar asked, "Dragons were his main fighting forces." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "The griffons acted as scouts and advisers to him." Grampa Gruff said, "Yaks were diplomats when under Volvox." Prince Rutherford said, "Us changelings acted as his soldiers." King Thorax said, "How did you guys originally serve him?" Princess Cadence asked, "Oh, right, we didn't say it, yet, we all are from another world, this land is actually our home." Pharynx replied, surprising the ponies and hippogriffs, Princess Celestia was not happy and flew up to Volvox's face, "I do not appreciate you just taking over like this, you can't just come in here and take these people away from here." Princess Celestia said, "Uh?" Volvox asked, "This was what I was talking about the other day, Volvox, here, she's the strongest ruler, you're not as powerful as you used to be." King Thorax said, "What makes you think you can just come in here and take over immediately?" Princess Celestia asked, "That is not why I'm here." Volvox replied, "Then why are you here?" Princess Celestia asked, "Because the deadites have been attacking my land, some of the creatures went extinct, the deadites have been hiding for now, I'm here to get old allies back to help me." Volvox replied, Princess Celestia was a little speechless, "We were just coming here to get old allies, solve the monster problem, and leave, plain and simple." Dommiel said, "Oh, so you all weren't planning to stay here for long." Sunset Shimmer said, "Not at all." Dommiel replied, "Well, I think it would be best if we all gather together and discuss what to do against the deadites." Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak said, the others agreed, "Alright, let's get this over with." Volvox replied, and the rulers entered the church. Everybody was in a circle and there were many people, the people present at the meeting were Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, Giovi, Ash, King Allant, King Arthur and his knights, Blackadder, Percy, Baldrick, Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak, King Oberon, Queen Titania, Counselor Melvin, Elder Lazlo, Chief Isbar, Regent Urub, King Flamma, Lord Dracula, Chief Jason, King Karstaag, the Seven Princes of Hell, the seventy two demons of Solomon, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, the Mane Six, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Sunburst, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Spike, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, Pharynx, Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, Sky Beak, Ocean Flow, Terramar, Silverstream, and General Seaspray were present at the meeting, "Okay, let's get this over with, I am sensing the deadites will be appearing soon, and we have to get ready, but what do you all want to do?" Volvox asked, "Simple, crush them and eat them." King Karstaag replied, "What?! No! Maybe we can befriend them." Pinkie Pie said, "There is no befriending these creatures, lady." Ash said, "How are you sure about that?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Because these deadites can change their hosts back to normal and act like regular people, and when your guard is down, they change back to their true forms and attack you." Ash replied, shocking the ponies and hippogriffs, "I'm sorry, but he speaks the truth, that's how they almost wiped out the changelings." King Thorax said, "Yes, but unfortunately, the giants, goblins, incubi, succubi, and alps were not so lucky." Dommiel replied, "See, there you go, these deadites have plagued us for years, it's time we destroyed them." Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak said, Princess Celestia was a bit bothered, "Ulfric, I would like for you to sit properly." Princess Celestia said, "Actually, that was the royal way to sit last generation." King Arthur replied, greatly shocking the ponies, "What?! That's how royalty sits?!" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Last generation, yes." Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak replied, "Don't you sit like that at home?" Tom asked, "No!" Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, moving on, guys, what do you all have against the deadites?" Ash asked, "Well, I've got some dragonic abilities in me." Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak replied, "Wait, what do you mean you have dragon abilities?" Princess Ember asked, "Fus Ro Dah!" Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak said, the shout almost blew Princess Ember back, shocking the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs, "I, too, can use the Thu'um." Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak said, "How? The Thu'um is a dragon only ability." Princess Ember replied, "Before they were killed by the deadites, four humans studied the Thu'um, it took generations and several lifetimes to study, but those four were the ones to find out how us humans can use the Thu'um, and I studied under them as a child." Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak said, "That reminds me, how is your Thu'um training coming, young one?" Volvox asked, "I already mastered it." Spike replied happily, Volvox chuckled, "It's good to see you reach your full potential as a young child." Volvox said, "Thanks." Spike replied, "What about the rest of you? What do you guys have against the deadites?" Ash asked, "What deadites?" Blackadder asked, "You know, those possessed people that have been killing our citizens." Baldrick replied, "Possessed? I thought they were merely sick and wanted food." Percy said, the other rulers look at them with disapproval and disdain, "Someone kill this guy before he kills all of us with his stupidity." King Flamma said, the others agreed while the ponies were shocked they would suggest such a thing, "No, guys, I'm sorry to break this to you, but we have to spare him, and trust me, his descendants are a lot smarter than he is." Ash said, "Thank goodness for that, I have no patience for his utter stupidity." Rarity replied, "Ha-ha, so I will be supreme ruler one day." Blackadder said, "Sorry, Blackadder, but that won't be for about another three hundred years." Ash replied, "Do my descendants become smarter?" Baldrick asked, "Sorry, Baldrick, but you're the only smart guy in your family, all of your descendants are idiots." Ash replied, "How about me?" Percy asked, "Sorry, Percy, but your bloodline will end in about a hundred years from now." Ash replied, "Hundred years? I still have many more years to live!" Percy said, "No, in a hundred years from now, your descendant will die, and your family's tree will come to a complete halt." Ash replied, "Oh." Percy said, "How about you, northern king, what do you have against the deadites?" Ash asked, "Well, I can use the swords left for my family." King Allant replied, "Well, use the Demonbrandt, King Allant, that Soulbrandt you're wielding won't do any good on them." Volvox said, King Allant nodded, reluctant to use the white sword, Princess Celestia looked at his black sword, "Wait a minute, I knew I was sensing some kind of demonic energy in this room somewhere." Princess Celestia said, "Do not fight him, all of those who have opposed him have fallen." King Arthur said, "Yes, even I cannot best him in combat." Sir Lancelot said, "Is he really that powerful?" Shining Armor asked, "Yes, when it comes to authority and rank, I'm the strongest ruler of the humans, but when it comes to combat and physical prowess, King Allant surpasses us greatly, even the other creatures here cannot beat him." Tom replied, "Well, moving on, do you guys have any torture chambers?" Ash asked, the ponies were shocked when he suggested such a thing, "Well, we do have several torture chambers in Hell." Vine said, "Yes, maybe we can use them." Bael said, "No, guys, when the deadites attack, the demons will be the first ones to turn." Ash replied, shocking the demons, "You mean... our legions will be the first ones to turn?!" Andras asked, "Yes." Ash replied, "Let's go." and the Seven Princes of Hell and the seventy two demons on Solomon leave the room through portals, "We will all be dead if we have to fight every legion." Chief Jason said, "Indeed, we will be greatly outnumbered." Count Dracula replied, "Hold on, how big is one legion?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Five thousand demons." Tom replied, the Mane Six and Princess Celestia were very shocked, they thought about how many demons there were, "Each demon has magic we cannot cast." Elder Lazlo said, "Yes, their dark magic surpasses ours as well." Chief Isbar replied, "Not to mention the fact that one demon has the physical strength that surpasses the strength of an orc, a dwarf, and a troll combined." Regent Urub said, "Yes, but the trolls will not help you guys." King Karstaag replied, "Wait a minute, trolls once tried to eat King Bison." Prince Rutherford said, "Well, he did trespass onto our land." King Karstaag replied, "What were you other creatures planning on how to take out the deadites?" Ash asked, "Well, us fairies can try using our magic to change them back." Titania replied, "That ain't gonna work." Ash said, "You know how to change them back, Ash?" Oberon asked, "No, there is no way to change them back, what we have to do is send them back with a spell." Ash replied, "Oh, I can cast the magic and spells with my horn." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, just a zap from our horns should do the trick." Sunburst said, "Not that kind of spell." Ash replied, causing the ponies to exclaim with confusion, "The spell has to be said out loud." Ash said, causing the ponies' excitement to die down, "You gotta be kidding me." Pinkie Pie said, "Afraid not." Ash replied, "So, what kind of spell do we need?" Terramar asked, "Well, first of all, we need to find the book that contains the spell, it is mostly known as the Book of the Dead, its proper name is Necronomicon Ex-Mortis." Ash replied, "Necronomicon Ex-Mortis? I don't know that book, I have hundreds of books back at home, but I've never heard of that one." Twilight Sparkle said, "Please, Ash, darling, describe what the book looks like." Rarity said, "It's cover looks like a face, it's made out of human flesh, each word in it is written in blood, the book contains prophecies, funeral incantations, and demon resurrection passages, every word is also written in a different language, so I doubt anyone of us here will understand it, and the majority of these people are illiterate." Ash replied, shocking the ponies and hippogriffs, "For real?" Applejack asked, "Are you serious?" Silverstream asked, "He speaks the truth, only the members of the church and Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak know how to read." Dommiel replied, surprising the ponies and hippogriffs, "We hope you will save us all, Ash." King Arthur said, "Why me for?" Ash asked, "Because you are the Hero from the Sky, you're the chosen one, you were sent here from the future to save us." Sir Lancelot replied, the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs were shocked, "You're from another world, too?" Silverstream asked, "I'm from another timeline." Ash replied, "Where, exactly?" Princess Celestia asked, "Six hundred years from the future." Ash replied, "No wonder why yer clothin' is extremely different from the others." Applejack said, "Yes, I was wondering about that, too." Rarity replied, "The clothes make him look like a donkey." Blackadder said, the ponies look at him with surprise, Ash just glared at him, "Sorry, Ash, a donkey is..." Baldrick said, "I know what it is, in my timeline, we call the animal an ass." Ash replied, Rarity exclaimed with shock while the ponies look at him with mouths agape, "Hey! That's mean!" Pinkie Pie said, "I agree, that doesn't sound nice." King Thorax replied, "I think it sounds pretty funny." Grampa Gruff said, "Yeah, I think so, too." Princess Ember replied while restraining her laughter, "Ash, two of the citizens at the town us six stay at are donkeys, that is very offensive." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, that's their problem." Ash replied, "Anyway, does anyone else have an idea on how to fight back the deadites?" Tom asked, "Come on, guys, this is the middle ages don't you guys have a torture chamber?" Ash asked, "Well, yes, but I only use it when necessary." Volvox replied, "Well, use it, it'll help us a lot against the deadites." Ash said, "Does anyone know where this book would be?" General Seaspray asked, "Yes, let's find the book instead, I don't want to torture possessed people." Princess Skystar said, "Well, my best guess would be is the ghouls have it." Ash replied, "No, we don't read." Chief Isbar said, "What about you elves and fairies?" Ash asked, "Nope." Elder Lazlo replied, "We don't have books on dark magic." Counselor Melvin said, "I hope Romeo and Juliet don't turn into deadites." Oberon said, "Say, Ash, what do you know about the romance between Romeo and Juliet?" Titania asked, "I know how that story ends." Ash replied while smirking, Volvox and Dommiel laugh, "Well, aside from that, we need you to find the book, Ash, and take out the deadites in this timeline so you don't have to fight them in your time." Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak said, "I can care less, all of you except for Volvox are dead in my time." Ash replied, "I'm still alive in your time, too, Ash." Dommiel said, "Enough talk, yak want action." Prince Rutherford said, "Yeah, I agree with the yak there, this meeting has gone on long enough, it's time for some action." Ash replied, "So, what if these deadites come to our land?" Sky Beak asked, "They'll be stuck that way until the incantation to seal them away is said." Ash replied, "But how do we protect ourselves against them before that?" Ocean Flow asked, "You'll just have to kill them." Ash replied, shocking the ponies and hippogriffs, "I am not taking the life of one of my subjects." Queen Novo said, "Then find a way to restrain them." Ash replied, "Uh, Ash, are the deadites just people?" Fluttershy asked, "No, animals, too." Ash replied, scaring Fluttershy, "Ash, I just remembered, I think the Book of the Dead might be where the goblins lived before the deadites got them." Tom said, "Ah, yes, I remember the goblins, highly intelligent, and practitioners of dark magic." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Wait, there are no witches?" Ash asked, "We already killed all of them, they're the ones who brought the deadites here in the first place." Volvox replied, "Maybe Ash is a witch, a female disguised as a male." Blackadder said, everybody except Percy and Baldrick glared at him, "Macbeth!" Ash said, lightning come down from the sky, through the ceiling, and shocked Blackadder, he screamed as he got electrocuted, Ash laughed, "It really does work!" Ash said while smiling, the ponies look at him with disapproval, "What did you just do?" Princess Luna asked, "He said a word that's supposed to bring someone bad luck." Dommiel replied, "Dude, that is not cool." Rainbow Dash said, "Yeah, we want to bring good luck, not bad luck." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, I guess it's decided, the deadites are about to reemerge again, let's get ready, dismissed, this meeting has gone on long enough." Volvox said, the others agreed and everyone went outside. Princess Luna flew to the Dragon Lands and went to speak with Dragon Lord Torch, "Excuse me, I would like learn how to use the Thu'um." Princess Luna said, "I'm sorry, Luna, but we don't know how to teach it to other creatures." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Then how did that one human learn it?" Princess Luna asked, "I don't know, they must've found out after us dragons left and came here." Dragon Lord Torch replied, Princess Luna was a bit surprised, "Plus, don't you have the Royal Canterlot Voice?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "I like the Thu'um better." Princess Luna replied, "Well, I'm sorry, but I don't know how to teach it, dragons are just naturally born with it." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Oh, so you can't teach it?" Princess Luna asked, "I don't know how to." Dragon Lord Torch replied, Princess Luna was very disappointed and flew away with her head down. Ash was training the people on the continent on how to defend themselves, and how to fight the deadites, "Okay, everyone, first things first, these freaks are allergic to lead, like the one I use in my boomstick, and chainsaw is used for cutting their heads off, and if you want to be funny, you can mess with them, but be careful, these creatures are intelligent, and will try to fool you." Ash said, "Lies! I bet he is the deadite!" Percy said, "I agree, burn him at the stake for being a witch!" Blackadder replied, "Wait, come here, you two, I need you two for a demonstration really quickly." Ash said, and the two did, Discord then appeared, surprising everyone, "I like your wittiness, Ash, I wish to watch." Discord said, "Okay, everyone, I call this the Centaur." Ash said, and he grabbed Percy and placed his head against Blackadder's butt, Discord used his magic to insert Percy's head into Blackadder's posterior. The two screamed as they tried to walk around, the people on the continent laugh. The ponies watch them and looked at Ash with disapproval, unhappy that Ash was causing trouble, "I'll swallow your soul." a male distorted voice said, Ash looks and saw a male human has turned into a deadite, he runs to Ash while growling snarling. Ash turns his chainsaw on and begins to cut his neck, the deadite screams, he then aimed his shotgun at his head, "Swallow this." Ash said, and he shot him and blew his head up, the people on the continent cheer, "And that, people, is how you get the job done." Ash said, the ponies did not like his way of doing things, "Hey!" Pinkie Pie said as she suddenly appeared on the land, "No, it's not! There are other ways to solve problems." Pinkie Pie said, "Like how?" Ash asked, "Offering friendship." Pinkie Pie replied, another male deadite was coming to attack, "Hey, wait, I know you're stressed and angry, but take a deep breath, and let's talk things out." Pinkie Pie said, the deadite changed back to human and he began talking about his bad day and was crying, he calmed down after a few minutes, Pinkie Pie turned around, "See? Friendship works better." Pinkie Pie said, the male changed back to a deadite and bit Pinkie Pie, she screamed in pain. Ash aims his shotgun and shoots the deadite in the back, which made him fall, Ash quickly reloaded his shotgun and waited for the deadite to stand up, it did and he blew his head off. Pinkie Pie's five friends went to go check her bite wound, "Oh, my flank." Pinkie Pie said sadly, the bite mark was on the left side of her flank, "Since you guys don't kill, you're going to have to restrain her, she can change into one of them at anytime." Ash said, "You really should go look for that book now, I really don't want this spreading to our land." Twilight Sparkle replied, "It will with her bitten, you five will have to tie her down, and put something in her mouth so she doesn't bite." Ash said, "Uh, that's gonna be a problem, Pinkie Pie here can do things regular ponies can't." Applejack replied, "Actually, all of you do things regular ponies can't do." Ash said, "Well, we'll be taking her back now, and if possible, we'd like you guys to come to our land, I think we can all share a lot of things together." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they left while carrying Pinkie Pie. The ponies and hippogriffs begin developing relationships with the Medieval continent, they got along with all creatures except the orcs and trolls, who were mostly unfriendly, they were surprised to see the dragons, griffons, yaks, and changelings were already friends with all of them, even though they were neutral with the orcs and trolls. The one thing the ponies and hippogriffs demanded from the land, especially the humans, was to be clean, completely washed, and wearing new pairs of clothes before coming to their countries, because they were not in the mood to deal with how filthy they were when they appeared to the east of Equestria. Twilight Sparkle decided to expand the School of Friendship, she decided to make a deal with Volvox and have Agares, Samigina, Marbas, Paimon, Buer, Morax, Ronove, Forneus, Foras, Gaap, Furfur, Stolas, Phenex, Bifrons, Crocell, Furcas, Alloces, Murmur, Amy, Orias, Vapula, Andrealphus, Kimaris, and Dantalion teach at the school, they taught their respective subjects and Twilight Sparkle took note of everything they taught, even she learned some new things, some greatly surprised her. The students in the School of Friendship and from Cheerilee's class were very shocked by the knowledge of the demons, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, Silverstream, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and several other students received headaches from what the demons taught, it was too much for their brains to process. Spike was doing the Thu'um and Twilight Sparkle wrote down what he said and what each shout did, he snickered and decided to try one at Rarity, "Zul Mey Gut!" Spike said, "Hey, skeever butt!" a voice said, Rarity screamed with shock, "Who said that?!" Rarity asked, Rainbow Dash overheard the voice and laughed, Spike was laughing a bit as well, "Spike!" Twilight Sparkle said sternly, Spike laughed nervously, "Where are you?! Who called me that?!" Rarity asked angrily, "Nopony did, Rarity, it's just Spike practicin' his shouts." Applejack replied, "What? Spikey-wikey!" Rarity said, Twilight Sparkle sighed, "Continue, Spike, let's see what else you can do." Twilight Sparkle said, he was about to, until they heard a lot of noises in the castle, the Mane Six saw their pets freaking out from Spike's shouts, "Calm down, everyone, he won't harm you." Fluttershy said as she tried to calm them, "Kaan Drem Ov!" Spike said, his Thu'um calmed the animals, the Mane Six were in awe, "That... was... awesome!" Rainbow Dash said, "Yes, really, thank you, Spike, maybe that shout can help me back at the cottage." Fluttershy said, Spike smiled, "Hey, can I go free now?" Pinkie Pie asked, she was tied down with magic restraints by Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer and Sunset Shimmer watched her, "Sorry, Pinkie, but you can turn anytime, we have to keep you restrained." Twilight Sparkle replied, Pinkie Pie groaned with disappointment, "Well, Spike, go on and continue using the shouts." Twilight Sparkle said, "Ven Gaar Nos!" Spike said, a tornado appeared, "Get back, it's a twister!" Applejack said, and the tornado goes around the castle, Twilight Sparkle tries to dispel it with her magic before it destroys her books, she managed to with only a few minor damages, "There, let's take a break." Twilight Sparkle said, and they do. Baldrick led Ash to where the goblins lived before the deadites destroyed them, "I have a cunning plan to find the books." Baldrick said, "Well, alright, I'll go ahead and listen, since you're the only smart Baldrick." Ash replied, "There are three Books of the Dead, one sucks you in, one is a bat, and one is regular, I suggest you listen to the sounds they make, the one that sucks you in is loud, the one that is a bat breathes, and the normal one makes no sound. When you find the normal book, say the words Klaatu, Barada, and Nikto, and you should be back home." Baldrick said, "Thanks for the information, I'll be going now." Ash replied, and he rode the horse into the land. Ash keeps riding and there were deadites waiting for him, he cut them all up with his chainsaw and shot a few, his horse eventually ran away in fear. Ash keeps going and fights the deadites, there were many, and he kept fighting, he was soon low on bullets, so he cut the deadites apart, he headed to where the three books were at, Baldrick gave him the information before they rode. Ash arrived at the area where the goblins lived, everything was destroyed, he saw three Books of the Dead, he places his left ear against the first one and heard the sound of what sounded like a black hole, he goes up to the second book and listens to it, it breathes, he was startled and moved back when it tried to bite him, he listens to the third one and it made no noise, "Okay, here goes. Kl..." Ash said, he could not remember the first word, "Klutz, klick, klan..." Ash said, he decided to try the second word, "B..." Ash said, "Bermuda, Baron, Bar, Base. Ugh, I can't remember." Ash said, "N..." Ash said, "Nigeria, nickel, nimbler..." Ash said, he realized he cannot remember any of the three words, Ash cleared his throat, "Kl *coughcough* Ba*cough* N*sneeze*." Ash said, it was silent, but a storm came. Lightning strikes the down and the deadites appeared, most of them were skeletons. Ash grabbed the first book and the third book, he took one because he thought it could be used as a good prank. Ash began to run back, but skeleton hands came out of the ground and grabbed his feet, he feel and more skeleton hands came out, he noticed they only had three fingers and black claws, the one in front of him begins to poke him in the eyes. Ash slaps the hand away and blocks them, he laughs as he outsmarted the hand, it tries to poke him again, but Ash slaps the hand away, it then went around his wrist and poked him in the eyes, "Ow!" Ash said as the claws poked him, he began to try to break free, "Ohhhhhhh!!" Ash said with his mouth and eyes wide open, he felt a skeleton hand grabbing and squeezing his groin, Ash fights to break free and manages to after a few minutes. The skeletal hand continues grabbing and squeezing his groin, Ash grabs it and pulls it off, he throws it back, takes out his shotgun, and shoots the hand, he got up and ran back to Shadowstorm. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, hippogriffs, and kirins notice the thunder, they were wondering what was going on, one hits Twilight Sparkle's castle and lands on Pinkie Pie, her friends go to see her. Pinkie Pie breaks free from her restraints, she now had hard skin, sharp yellow teeth, and white monochromatic eyes, scaring her friends, "Pinkie has been reborn." Pinkie Pie said with her regular voice fused with a male distorted voice, scaring her friends, she ran out of the castle and to the continent while laughing. Volvox used telepathy to contact the Feudal continent that was to the east of the Dragon Lands and Griffonstone about the deadites coming, so they sent a ship over, it had a special sword on it, it arrived and Tom took it out, it was the Bishamon Sword, he held it in his right hand and went to King Arthur and King Allant, King Arthur had Excalibur, and King Allant had Northern Regalia, he fused his Soulbrandt and Demonbrandt together to create it, and Dommiel had Soul Edge in his left hand, and Soul Calibur in his right hand, "Okay, I think we're ready." Tom said, the others agreed. The sky keeps letting out lightning strikes and it hit other people, "Lok Vah Koor!" the dragons yelled to get rid of the thunder, Cloudsdale got destroyed in the process, the ponies to fall to the ground, but they flew to prevent hitting the ground. Deadite Pinkie teleported to the continent and was ready to wreak havoc, "Attention, all friends!" Deadite Pinkie said, and the deadites gathered around her, "We need to make friends and turn them to us, let's go and make us some new friends!" Deadite Pinkie said, the deadites cheer and go forward. Ash arrived back to Shadowstorm with the two books he took, he sees the deadites have already risen, he gave them to Tom and was ready to fight, "Alright, let's waste them." Ash said, "Uh, Ash, about that." Dommiel replied, and he points his right index finger, Ash looks and saw Pinkie Pie has turned, and was the leader, "Wow, I didn't think she'd be the leader." Ash said, "Who did you have in mind?" Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak asked, "The Lady of the Lake." Ash replied, "Oh, she turned before you came, we... had to put her down." Merlin said, "What about Abigail, Abigail Williams?" Ash asked, "She's not born yet." Lucifer replied, "Oh." Ash said, "Well, let's go, we've got deadites to fight." Volvox said, and they march to the deadites. Twilight Sparkle and her friends go to the Medieval continent and see Deadite Pinkie leading the monsters, "No, is Pinkie truly gone?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Twilight, remember what Ash said, we need to find the book and say the incantation to change her back to normal, but Ah believe, somewhere inside, Pinkie is fightin' to regain control of herself." Applejack replied; Pinkie Pie's soul was with the deadite spirit and playing around and having fun, "You wanna be friends?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Of course, we're going to be the best friends forever." the deadite spirit replied, "Yay! Best new friend ever!" Pinkie Pie said, and the deadite spirit continued controlling her body. Deadite Pinkie had humans, vampires, werewolves, elves, fairies, orcs, dwarfs, trolls, ghouls, goblins, incubi, succubi, giants, alps, and demons under her command, "Okay, everycreature, we attack now, we start making friends in Shadowstorm, give them your friendship and let them serve us!" Deadite Pinkie said, and they begin to march forward. Volvox and the people in his land began fighting the deadites, Tom used the Bishamon Sword to great effect, it killed most deadites immediately. The Northern Regalia destroyed almost all deadites in a few hits, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, and the Mane Six except for Pinkie Pie were extremely shocked to see how strong King Allant was, his sword let out energy waves that destroyed whatever it touched, King Allant also flew through the air, and caused explosions to happen when he stabbed the sword into the ground. King Allant also had his red dragon and his blue dragon eat the deadites, his blob monster order its hoplites throw spears at the deadites, his giant knight shoot some kind of blue energy beam out of his lance, and his other knight cut deadites apart with his sword, the ponies and hippogriffs become very shocked when they see King Allant use some kind of magic they have never seen before to create black phantom versions of his people, they were stronger and more aggressive than the regular people, Princess Celestia was extremely uneasy with his powers. Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak used the Thu'um to blow the deadites back, along with the dragons, he used his axe to fight back and held his own pretty well. Oberon, Titania, Counselor Melvin, Elder Lazlo, and the elves and fairies combine their magic to destroy the deadites, they mainly shot out yellow beams of light out of their hands, whoever got hit caught on fire. Chief Isbar commanded the ghouls to use necromancy and dark magic, their magic set deadites ablaze, along with tearing them into pieces, Giovi used his fire magic to burn them, and cut heads off with the knife blades for his claws. King Karstaag, King Flamma, and Regent Urub use their physical strength to destroy the deadites, so did the trolls, dwarfs, and orcs, they did well until going up against their own kind. Count Dracula and Chief Jason had the vampires and werewolves team up, the werewolves slaughtered whoever they fought, since a full moon was rising, they changed, while the vampires used what the knights had while they impaled them, some vampires tried drinking the deadites' blood, which made them turn into deadites, Count Dracula had them killed. Blackadder and Percy got themselves separated from the others, they saw the deadites overrunning their kingdom, "Blackadder, look, we have visitors!" Percy said, "Yes, I know, we are becoming the rulers of this land." Blackadder replied, "My lord, they're here to destroy us." Baldrick said, "Destroy? You mean as in to kill us?" Blackadder asked, "Yes, but I have a cunning plan to solve that." Baldrick replied, "What is it?" Percy asked, "If we cover ourselves in dung, we will be able to sneak past them without getting killed." Baldrick replied, "Dung? But dung is valuable." Percy said, "I know, but it's the only way." Baldrick replied, everyone in Blackadder's kingdom have already turned to deadites, "We have no choice, Percy, let's do it." Blackadder said, and they do, they walk past the deadites while they gag and cough from the smell of the dung on them, the three leave their kingdom unharmed. Dommiel used Soul Edge and Soul Calibur to destroy the deadites, Soul Edge absorbed their souls while Soul Calibur destroyed their bodies. King Arthur blinded the deadites with his sword by reflecting it off of the rising moon and setting sun, the deadites also attacked him, but King Arthur did not bleed due to him having the scabbard on his back. The Knights of the Round Table except for Sir Tristan fought the deadites directly, Sir Tristan stayed back and shot them down with his bow and arrow. The Knights Templar was fighting back and having trouble, so Lucifer, Satan, and Leviathan empowered them, Lucifer made them stronger due to them being proud of being a member of the Knights Templar, Leviathan made them stronger due to them being jealous of being human, and were the weakest kind of creatures in the land, and Satan made them stronger due to them getting angry over losing, he also gave them fire powers, they destroyed the deadites quickly and cheered. Mammon used his powers to control metal to cut the deadites apart, Asmodeus made the deadites fall in love with one another, the humans destroyed them while they were distracted, Belphegor made gravity stronger for the deadites so that they cannot stand up, he also drained them of their stamina to make them tired, and Beelzebub had his flies eat them apart, Shadowstorm and Boletaria were soon safe from deadites. Bael, Glasya-Labolas, Foras, and Balam made the people invisible to give them an advantage, Foras also tried to make the people invincible; Barbatos commanded the animals on the continent to attack the deadites; Vassago, Barbatos, Gusion, Eligos, Ipos, Glasya-Labolas, Berith, Balam, Orobas, Gremory, and Flauros acted as strategists since they already knew what the outcome of the battle was going to be; Malphas and Sabnock fortified the continent; Halphas gave the citizens weapons to fight back with; Seere and Vine killed whoever they wished; Haagenti instructed the men telepathically on how to kill the deadites; the seventy two demons of Solomon fought back as well, they did not lead their legions into battle out of fear of them bringing even more deadites. Volvox shoots fire breath out of his three mouths with Dragon Lord Torch by his side, the two combine their efforts to take out the deadites, Grampa Gruff led the griffons and they pick them up, off of the ground, and drop them, Prince Rutherford led the yaks by boat and arrived at the continent, they rammed the deadites, and wore armor to protect themselves from getting hurt or possessed by a deadite, King Thorax and Pharynx led the changelings, they change to creatures native to the continent to help the others fight back, Princess Ember led the dragons and they burned the deadites with their fire breaths, they also used several different Thu'ums to push back the deadites. Flying deadites began to appear in the sky, they attacked the flying creatures fighting back, Dragon Lord Torch let Ash ride on him and Ash shot down the flying deadites while Dragon Lord Torch breathed fire. The ponies, hippogriffs, and kirins go to the land and help everyone fight the deadites, the unicorns tried to use their magic to change the deadites back to normal, but they did not find one, nothing worked, the ponies did not like how the other creatures were just killing the deadites. Spike was knocked down while he fought the deadites, one was about to claw his throat out, "Spike!" Twilight Sparkle said with horror as he was about to lose his life, "Tiid Klo Ul!" Spike said, he slowed time down, so slow, time almost stopped completely, he ran away and time went back to normal speed after sixteen seconds, "Mid Vur Shaan!" Spike said, and his friends were sped up while fighting the deadites, Rainbow Dash became a blur as she punched the deadites down, it wore down after sometime. More deadites come out of the ground and there was too many, "Iiz Slen Nus!!" Spike and the other dragons said, they froze the deadites in place. Ash went over with his car, which he has changed into a weapon with propeller blades on the front, "Say hello to the twenty first century." Ash said as he rode the car and cut apart the deadites while laughing, the ponies were very shocked to see him destroying the deadites, he cuts one deadite and his right eye comes out and flies far. Deadite Pinkie was getting more deadites to rise, "Okay, everyone, let's spread joy and laughter throughout the land... by changing everyone into one of us and making them have the same sense of humor and fun as us!" Deadite Pinkie said, she laughed manically in the process, but the deadite's eye flies to her and goes into her mouth. Deadite Pinkie gags as she tries to get the eyeball out of her mouth, but she swallows it instead after a few seconds, "Before we spread laughter with slaughter, I have something to do." Deadite Pinkie said, and she disappeared. Merlin was about to say the incantation to send the deadites back, but he saw the Book of the Dead was gone, "No! It's gone!" Merlin said, he uses his magic to look for it and saw Deadite Pinkie somehow got a hold of it. Merlin ran outside to the others, "Everyone, the book was taken, that pink horse got it!" Merlin said, shocking everyone. A portal opens and a giant flying deadite came out, everyone was scared, it began attacking immediately. Everyone tried to attack it with whatever long range move they can think of, nothing worked, it destroyed the architecture and threw them at the people. Dragon Lord Torch flew to fight it, "Mul Qah Diiv!" Dragon Lord Torch said, and a brightly colored transparent suit of armor appeared on him, everyone looked at him with surprise, "Father." Princess Ember said with awe, Dragon Lord Torch wrestled with the creature, "Yol Toor Shul!" Dragon Lord Torch said, he did a fire breath, much bigger than before, he burned the deadite, but it endured it and flew up, it dropped Dragon Lord Torch onto a temple, everyone was worried, but Dragon Lord Torch flew back up. The deadite flew to him to attack him, its claws were exposed, "Faas Ru Maar!" Dragon Lord Torch said, the Thu'um did not work on the deadite, "Fuh Ro Dah!" Dragon Lord Torch said, it did not push the deadite back, it flew to Dragon Lord Torch and stabbed its claws into his shoulders, the ponies gasped, "Father!" Princess Ember said with worry, Volvox looks and uses telekinesis on the deadite to pull it out, he fires three fire breaths at the deadite, he burned it, but it still came. The changelings, griffons, and Pegasi flew up to help, roaring was heard in Transylvania, everyone saw gargoyles coming from the country, they went to go help Dragon Lord Torch as well, they distract the deadite while Dragon Lord Torch grabbed the deadite from behind and threw it down, it was about to get up, but Dommiel stabbed Soul Edge into its right hand and Soul Calibur into its left hand, the deadite screeched, "Yol Toor Shul!" Dragon Lord Torch said, and he let out a fire breath, Volvox combined his three fire breaths with Dragon Lord Torch's, the deadite screeched as it was obliterated. Everycreature except the ponies, changelings, hippogriffs, and kirins cheered, the four creatures were not happy with what they saw, "Guys, there's nothing to be happy about." Twilight Sparkle said, "We won, that's all." Tom replied, "Let's go, straight for the commander." Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak said, and they go to where Deadite Pinkie was at, even though the ponies noticed Fluttershy was missing. Ash drives his car through Deadite Pinkie's deadites and sees her up ahead, she had the Book of the Dead with her, he was about to drive to her, but his car suddenly broke down, "Huh? What the?" Ash asked, as he tried to turn the car back on, he realized everything was working fine, "Come on, not now." Ash said, he became startled when he saw Deadite Pinkie in the passenger seat, "My turn to drive." Deadite Pinkie said, "Oh no, this is for me only." Ash replied, "Oh, come on now, sharing is caring, and more fun together!" Deadite Pinkie said, and she grabbed the steering wheel, the car began driving again, Deadite Pinkie drove the car while laughing manically. Ash tried to wrestle the steering wheel back from her, but she was gone, Ash looks and saw a wall up ahead, the car crashes and Ash flew out of the windshield, through the propellers, and over the wall, Ash screamed in the process. Ash fell on the ground and he looks around while he hears Deadite Pinkie's laugh echo, she appears in front of Ash and pokes his nose with her front right hoof, he exclaimed with surprise and saw Deadite Pinkie was gone, "My tail is twitching, stuff are about to fall." Deadite Pinkie said, Ash heard her on a roof and he saw pieces of roof made out of rock falling down, Ash moved back to dodge them, "Uh-oh, my nose is itching." Deadite Pinkie said, Ash hears her to his right and aims his shotgun, he saw a swarm of bees coming, Ash ran away and saw water up ahead, he went in it, "I got achy stomach." Deadite Pinkie said, Ash saw an alligator coming to eat him, he screamed and went back up to the surface, "You son of a..." Ash said, he hears a cannon go off and it misses him, he looks to his left and saw Deadite Pinkie on a cannon, she laughed as well, "Say hello to my party cannon!" Deadite Pinkie said, and shot a skull and bones at Ash, it missed however, Ash was bewildered by Deadite Pinkie's powers, he was about to shoot her but something attacked her, Deadite Pinkie screamed, Ash looks and was shocked, he saw Fluttershy has changed to Flutterbat. Deadite Pinkie and Flutterbat fight one another, Ash ran to look for Book of the Dead, he sees it and goes to it, he got it and saw Deadite Pinkie and Flutterbat fighting, Deadite Pinkie appeared and disappeared while Flutterbat flew around and managed to tackle Deadite Pinkie down, "No! That's mine! Nooooooo!" Deadite Pinkie said while Flutterbat held her down, Ash left with the book. Ash continues to head back but Deadite Pinkie appeared on his back and knocked him down, "That book is mine, I need it to bake cupcakes!" Deadite Pinkie said, a demon possessed Ash at that time, he got back up and turned to Evil Ash, Deadite Pinkie screamed with surprise. Evil Ash and Flutterbat stood together and were ready to fight Deadite Pinkie, "Now this is fun!" Deadite Pinkie said, and she teleports around, the two look for her, she appeared in front of them with her cannon again, she shot it, Evil Ash grabbed the skull and threw it at her, she screamed as she flew back, she stood up and ran to them at extreme speed, she was a blur. Flutterbat tried to stop her but Deadite Pinkie charged through her and headed towards Evil Ash, she knocked him down and Evil Ash grunted, Deadite Pinkie began stomping her hooves on Evil Ash's abdomen, he grunted in pain, Deadite Pinkie sang a song while stomped on his abdomen. Flutterbat flew up and tackled Deadite Pinkie, she grabbed her with her mouth and threw her to Evil Ash when he stood up, he grabbed Deadite Pinkie and threw her through the air, Deadite Pinkie screamed until she hit her head on a pillar, it broke part of the pillar, she groaned and stood up. Deadite Pinkie teleported back and was ready to fight back, she somehow dashes forward and flies through the air, Evil Ash shot her with the shotgun a few times, but it only pushed her back and had no effect, she spat out a bullet and it flew back to Evil Ash at the same speed it was shot by the shotgun, Evil Ash dodged it, Deadite Pinkie spat out the second bullet, it also flew back at the same speed as the shotgun that shot it, Evil Ash watched her carefully while Deadite Pinkie laughed. Flutterbat tackled Deadite Pinkie down from behind, Evil Ash poked her eyes and Deadite Pinkie screamed, "Hey!" Deadite Pinkie said, Evil Ash then picked her up as Flutterbat lifted her up, he threw her again, Deadite Pinkie screamed as she flew through the air again, she hit her head on a house's door, breaking part of it on impact, Deadite Pinkie fell and was unconscious. Ash and Fluttershy changed back to normal, the spirit left Ash's body while Fluttershy changed back since the sun was rising, "Groovy." Ash said as he saw Deadite Pinkie was unconscious, "Are you alright, Mr. Ash?" Fluttershy asked, "Yeah, I'm fine, thanks." Ash replied, "You're welcome." Fluttershy said, "Well, come on, let's bring her and the book back." Ash replied, and they went. The deadites were mostly gone due to Discord appearing, he used the Thu'um to blow them back and freeze them, everybody except Spike was very shocked that Discord could use the Thu'um. Ash and Fluttershy came back, Twilight Sparkle and her friends ran to them, "Where were you, Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Taking care of the animals." Fluttershy replied, "Oh, so that's where you were, the squirrels from my land say hi." Autumn Blaze said, "Why, thank you." Fluttershy replied, Autumn Blaze smiled. Princess Celestia walked to Deadite Pinkie and saw she was unconscious with a cut on her head, "What did you do to her?" Princess Celestia asked, "Well, she wouldn't go down without a fight, so things got a bit rough." Ash replied, "Quick, Ash, bring me the book so I can send the deadites away." Merlin said, and he does. Merlin was in a room with Deadite Pinkie tied to a pillar, her friends, the rulers of Equestria, Sunburst, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Ash were in the room with him, everyone else was outside and guarding the place from the deadites. Merlin opens the book and finds the incantation needed to send them away, he says the incantation in Latin, the ponies did not understand him, Twilight Sparkle wanted to take a look at the book after he was done, he keeps speaking in Latin and the deadites were sealed away. The deadite spirit in Pinkie Pie remained, "What's going on?" Rainbow Dash asked, "The spirit in her is stronger than an average deadite spirit, I'm going to have to say a different incantation." Merlin replied, and he flips through the pages and finds one, he says it in Latin. Pinkie Pie was fighting to regain control of her body, "No! What you did was very bad, that was not fun!" Pinkie Pie said angrily, "But I thought we were best friends forever." the deadite spirit replied, "No! What you did was very bad, and you made me do them, I want you out!" Pinkie Pie said angrily, the deadite spirit laughed at her for trying to get him out by just talking, but he felt himself being removed shortly afterwards, he screams and the deadite in Pinkie Pie was exorcised. Pinkie Pie was back to normal in real life, it greatly surprised her, and Pinkie Pie wet herself, surprising everyone while Rarity let out an exclaim of shock, "Yup, we've all been there." Ash said, the ponies glare at him, "You don't need to mention it." Princess Celestia replied, Pinkie Pie groaned, "Pinkie?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Good morning, everypony." Pinkie Pie said happily, she then began to ramble on about what happened while she was a deadite, Ash simply left. Everybody was outside and cheering, they saw Blackadder, Baldrick, and Percy arrive, covered in dung, "Where were you guys?" Volvox asked, "We blended in and covered ourselves with dung to survive." Baldrick replied, the ponies, hippogriffs, and kirins gag at the stench, "Hey, Baldrick, those three words that were supposed to take me back home actually summoned them." Ash said, "What? Really? I'm sure those words would send you back." Baldrick replied, "Well, it didn't, you gave me the wrong words." Ash said, "No." Princess Celestia said as she walked to him, she says "I think what actually happened is you forgot the words, and said the wrong ones, and that's what summoned them.", "You weren't there to see it happen." Ash replied, "No, but I can imagine you got it wrong, your facial expressions and body language tell me you're lying." Princess Celestia said, "Can you say the three words out loud, Ash?" Baldrick asked, Ash forgot for a second but then remembered, "Klaatu, Barada, Nikto." Ash said, "Oh, you do remember the words, maybe I did get them wrong." Baldrick replied, "Yeah, I don't blame you, it looks like the stupidity your descendants are known for is starting to show." Ash said, "Wait, we won, I'm king!" Blackadder said, "Yes, the throne's right here." Tom replied, and he pointed Blackadder to an iron throne, he sat in it, but then screamed as he felt his butt get burned by the fire under it, the natives to the continent, dragons, and griffons laugh, the other creatures look at them with shock, "Well, we won, what do you guys want to do?" Volvox asked, "A feast!" Percy replied, the others agreed, and they have a feast. Rarity was appalled was the manners of the people native to the continent, they made loud noises while eating, threw food across the table, ate everything by hand, ripped them apart by hand, chewed with their mouths open, and talked with their mouths full, "Ugh, what atrocious manners." Rarity said, she hears similar noise nearby and saw Applejack ate the same way, so did Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle did not pay attention, but Spike ate the same way as the people on the continent did, so did Princess Ember and the other dragons, along with the griffons, Princess Celestia could barely restrain her laughter and desire to do the same thing, while Princess Luna had the same bad manners, Rarity lost her appetite when she saw the casu marzu and the haggis, the feast ended at the end of the day. Pinkie Pie was taken to Sugarcube Corner and being treated, "Oh, my head." Pinkie Pie said as she covered the wound on her head with her front right hoof, "It's alright, Pinkie, I've got a spell to heal it." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she used it, "I can't believe I ate an eyeball, yuck." Pinkie Pie said, "You what?!" Rarity asked with shock, "When I wasn't myself, an eyeball flew into my mouth when I was talking and got stuck." Pinkie Pie replied, Twilight Sparkle glared, "I think I know where that came from." Twilight Sparkle said, they hear a sound at the entrance and saw Sunburst with Spike, "What? You have to weaken my powers?" Spike asked, "Sorry, Spike, but your Thu'um is too powerful for Equestria, we have to limit it." Sunburst replied, Spike groaned with disappointment, "Don't worry, though, I set the spell to only limit your Thu'um powers in Equestria, if you travel out of Equestria, your powers will be back at full." Sunburst said, which made Spike smile, Sunburst left and Spike went to his six friends to see how Pinkie Pie was doing. A few days pass and Twilight Sparkle asked to borrow the Book of the Dead, so Ash gave it to her, she wanted to show it to the School of Friendship. Ash walked around Ponyville and saw the Young Six building a shed with Applejack and Rainbow Dash teaching them, "Macbeth!" Ash said, and the six students scream as the things broke, their safety equipment got damaged, and the shed fell apart, Ash laughed while the eight look at the broken shed with shock, "Pinkie!" Pinkie Pie said from behind Ash, and everything restored itself, Ash becomes shocked and turns around to see Pinkie Pie, fully healed and normal, she hopped away while Ash was shocked she can undo the Macbeth word. Two days pass and Twilight Sparkle was going to show the School of Friendship the Book of the Dead that Ash gave her, "Okay, everycreature, as you all may have seen, there are some magic that we still don't know of, and in some areas, magic is different from what we have, this book is an example, I'm going to open it and show you all what it looks like, but keep in mind that this is also my first time seeing the inside of the book, so I have taken a few precautions, here we go." Twilight Sparkle said, and she opens it, the wind blows and there was a hole in the book, Twilight Sparkle fights back as her front hooves get stretched out, surprising her students, Twilight Sparkle got sucked into the book and screamed as she fell, her students gasped and Twilight Sparkle soon went into the book completely and it closed itself. The students watch with anticipation and Twilight Sparkle came out of the book and closed it, the students laugh, Twilight Sparkle wondered what they were laughing about until she looked down and was shocked to see her face has been stretched down by the book, her mouth was open, and her snout was long, she tries to speak but can only do grunts, she did not have a spell to fix it. Twilight Sparkle went to go see Merlin and let out angry grunts about the book, and demanded to speak with Ash, "I'm sorry, but he got sent back to his time yesterday." Merlin said, Twilight Sparkle let out angry grunts while moving her hooves around like she was throwing a tantrum, "Hold on, I think I can fix this." Merlin said, and he uses his magic to fix her face, "Thank you." Twilight Sparkle said, "You're welcome, Ash must've gave you the wrong book, I'll go get the one I have." Merlin replied, and he gives it to her, she went back to the school, "Now that's out of the way, let's see what this book looks like." Twilight Sparkle said, and she showed the students, everycreature was clueless, "What the? I can't read this." Twilight Sparkle said as she looked at the language, "Ooh, ooh, do you have a spell for us to understand it?" Silverstream asked, "No, I don't." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she just looked at it, she called Princess Celestia and Star Swirl the Bearded to take a look at the book, they had no clue on what it said, so Merlin was called to translate it, the creatures of the world were very uncomfortable with what the book had written and drawn in it. Three days pass and the ponies mainly had relationships with Camelot, Princess Celestia got along greatly with Merlin as he shared his magic with them, she took note of it and used it to develop new spells while Princess Luna was shouting with her Royal Canterlot Voice in hopes of teaching herself the Thu'um. While Princess Celestia did not have a problem with Windhelm, Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak slouching in his throne annoyed her to no end. Discord was bored and floated up in the sky, he had an idea from the dragons and Ash, "Macbeth!" Discord shouted in the form of a Thu'um, every country got destroyed and spells went wrong, everycreature screamed as destruction hit the entire land, "Discord!" Twilight Sparkle said sternly, Discord chuckled, "I think I'm going to enjoy this." Discord said, as he looked at the chaos all around the land. The next day comes and Volvox was ready to leave, "Well, guys, it's time for me to go." Volvox said, "That's a shame, we were hoping you would stay." Dragon Lord Torch replied, "Sorry, Torch, but I have responsibilities back at home." Volvox said, "Can we stay in touch?" Grampa Gruff asked, "Of course, I can establish telepathic communication with you all." Volvox replied, "Yaks will always remember Emperor Volvox." Prince Rutherford said, "So will the changelings, you saved us from extinction from the deadites." King Thorax said, Volvox smiled, "Wait, don't go over there!" Tom said, they look and saw the Mane Six in their hot air balloon, they were going to the Feudal continent, much to their shocks. The continent begins shooting arrows at them and they scream while Volvox uses his telekinesis to pull them back, he put them down, "Don't go over there, that land is off limits to all foreigners, they will kill anyone who tries to enter." Tom said, "But we saw a boat come from there before." Twilight Sparkle replied, "That was only for trade, this land and that land only trade in weapons." Dommiel said, "Weapons?!" Rarity asked, "Yeah, our main trader from that land only wants our weapons." Volvox replied, shocking the ponies, "All of you should leave, we're about to go back." Lucifer said, "I'd like to have the telepathic communication as well." Twilight Sparkle replied, Volvox simply gave everycreature in the world telepathic communication to them, they left, "Alright, let's go." Volvox said, and everyone said bye while Volvox and the ruler of the Feudal continent use their magic to go back to their home world while they all said bye to them. Humans developed faster and better hygiene than expected due to the ponies giving them better hygiene and clothing, along with new types of magic. Merlin stayed in touch with the ponies and taught them what he knew, he and Star Swirl the Bearded got along greatly, they became close friends, the two make new magic and spells together and share them with the ponies and the humans. The Book of the Dead got lost for a few centuries later until one of Blackadder's descendants found it, and he and his family would use it throughout history to wreak havoc.
Wild WestVolvox lived with the humans for a long time and watched them evolve, he was now living in the wild west, where cowboys were everywhere, the land was once divided into two, north and south, the war was already over, Volvox was on neither side during the war, he just lived his own life and watched the humans. Volvox did not just have a cowboy at where he was at, there was a tribe of Native Americans near by, Volvox was on good terms with them, and in front of his home was a tribe of ghouls, who was brought to their current area of living against their wills to be slaves after their home was destroyed, their home was on another continent. Volvox was living inside a wooden house, on a farm, they had cattle, living inside was Dommiel, who did various tasks, and Tom, who had a mysterious past, he retired and decided to be a farmer, he took care of the farm. A ghoul named Giovi would come by as well, he had knife blades for his claws, he and Volvox were good friends, a human lived among the ghouls, his name was Daniel Lamprey, he helped the ghouls get to where they were at, he was a sergeant when he and his unit went to the homeland of the ghouls, he still wore his old uniform, it was a light green long-sleeve shirt tucked into light green pants, a military green belt with a gray buckle, his pants legs were tucked into black mid-calf length combat boots, and he wore black leather gloves, he also wore a light green peaked cap that had a black visor, he attended to the ghouls to make sure they were alright. The people did not live peacefully, they all had problems, Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom had to deal with a man named Robert Coates, a man who wanted them to demolish the farm and sell their cattle to the poultry and glue factory so he can build a city in place of the farm, the Native Americans had to deal with a businessman named Richard Morbucks, he wanted to drive the Native Americans out of the area so he can sell their land to the government, and expand his oil business onto their land, which would destroy their home as they drilled for oil, and the ghouls and Daniel had to deal with Colonel Mortimer, Daniel's former commanding officer, he, Daniel, and other soldiers were going to another country to do trade, and had to pass the ghouls' home to get there, but Mortimer saw the ghouls as savages and uneducated, and ordered Daniel and the other soldiers to kill and enslave them, Daniel and several other soldiers serving under him rebelled and helped the ghouls protect their land since killing and enslaving them were not their orders, and they were against it, those who rebelled with Daniel were out and looking for ghouls to free and bring to safety. This was not the first time they had problems, when Tom originally moved into the farm and met Volvox and Dommiel, they were hesitant at first, but they got along well after a few weeks, the Native American tribe were hostile to them at first as well, because they were trespassing on their land, and Daniel and the ghouls originally did not get along with the others, and had to plead with the others to let him and the ghouls stay. Everyone there got along when they began to get haunted by the Bell Witch, all of them were attacked and hurt, that was when Volvox and Dommiel became friends with Giovi, all of them worked together to destroy the haunting, and that was when they all became friends. Tom ran the farm while Volvox and Dommiel watched for any ghouls coming, they had a flag with a symbol on it to let them know that the area they are at is safe, and that they will protect them from Mortimer's men, some ghouls died along the way, their gravestones were everywhere on the path that led to the farm, the town was just east of the farm, it was being taken down and replaced with big cities, which made Tom sad, and to the north of the town was the desert, where all of the cacti and wild animals were at, Volvox did not like the desert, he thought the landscape and view was ugly, it was nothing but sand, green cacti and plants, and a dull orange color everywhere, he did not like the view the slightest. Volvox, Dommiel, Giovi, and the ghouls were using their magic in hopes of finding the ghouls' home continent and rescue the others before Mortimer has his soldiers enslave and kill them all, "Why can't we get 'em Indians to help us?" Tom asked, "Tom, again, they're not Indians, and they don't have any mystic powers or magic." Volvox replied, "We always said them Indians had magical powers back in the war." Tom said, "That's just propaganda, Tom, they're regular humans, just like you." Dommiel replied, "Okay, here goes nothing." Volvox said, and the magic spell was cast to try to bring them to the ghouls' home continent. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs were minding their own business until they feel a surge of magic, to the northeast of Canterlot and southeast of the Crystal Empire. Everycreature feels it and they watch, the land appeared and it was mostly grass, they see a fence and a gate that had cattle in it to the south of the house, there was corn growing to the west of the house, there were hills to the north of the house, and two paths to the east, the eastern path led to a town, and the southeastern path led into a valley. Everycreature saw Daniel and the ghouls came back, surprising the creatures native to the world, Tom soon came out of the house and looks around, "Uh, guys, y'all might wanna see this." Tom said, and they hear running, they look and saw Native Americans come out from the north, they were on horseback and had rifles with them, Princess Celestia was surprised to see their markings, piercings, tattoos, and symbols of their culture, "No, this isn't it, we're at the wrong continent." Daniel said, surprising the ponies, Dommiel used his shadow powers to make himself fly out of the house's roof, he had black wings on his arms, the creatures were shocked to see him, Volvox came out of the house shortly afterwards, everycreature was shocked by how big he was, "Wait a minute, I think we're in the wrong world altogether." Volvox said as he looked around, his booming voice scared everyone, "Well, hurry, we have to go back." Daniel said, "The spell is going to take some time to fix, we'll be stuck here for sometime." Dommiel replied, Daniel sighed, "Well, let's just get on with our days while we work to fix this." Volvox said, and they all got on with their days. The Mane Six arrived to Canterlot by train and walked to the new area since it was actually pretty close, the ghouls spot them and point them out to Daniel, "Guys, we got visitors." Daniel said, and Tom walked out of the farm and went to go see them, "Hi, I'm Twilight Sparkle, a princess from the country to the west of here, these five are my friends, we're here to give you guys greetings from Equestria." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, hello, we're a bit too busy right now to go explorin'." Tom replied, "I must say, your outfit is a bit strange." Rarity said, Tom was wearing a long-sleeve pale blue shirt, over his shirt was a button-up sheepskin vest, black jeans with a brown leather belt and a big gold buckle, another brown leather belt with a gold buckle that had his gun's holster on his right side, he had a revolver in the holster, and bullets on the belt, he also wore tan boots with spurs, and he had on a brown hat with a black telescope crown on his head, he had a stubble as well, "I wear this everywhere I go." Tom replied, Rarity smiled a bit, "Y'all look tired and thirsty, would y'all like to bend an elbow?" Tom asked, confusing the ponies except for Applejack, "Twilight, Ah'll do the talkin', he speaks mah language." Applejack said, and she walked forward, "Nah, it's alright, we already bent an elbow, we already had meals, too." Applejack said, "I see, name's Tom by the way." Tom replied, "Ah'm Applejack." Applejack said, Tom was almost laughing, "Is somethin' funny?" Applejack asked, "Sorry, but I can't help but notice that you're named after a type of cider brandy." Tom replied, "Wow, yer actually the first person to ever notice that." Applejack said, Tom chuckled, "I'll be going now, I have cattle to attend to." Tom said, and he walked to them, he checked them to see if they were healthy and milked them, the six went to go see Daniel, "Why, hello, you look really nice in that outfit." Rarity said, "It's my old military uniform." Daniel replied, "We bring greetings from Equestria." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, thanks, but I've got a very important job to do." Daniel replied, "What is it?" Fluttershy asked, "See these ghouls here? I've been watching over them, their original home was destroyed, so they came here with me." Daniel replied, "What happened to their home?" Rainbow Dash asked, "It got destroyed." Daniel replied, "How?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Other soldiers in the unit I served began enslaving and killing them." Daniel replied, shocking the six mares, "Well, that's really nice of you to do, we'll offer help if you need it." Twilight Sparkle said, "Thank you, I need all the help I can get." Daniel replied, "Well, we'll be going now." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go over to the tribe of ghouls, Giovi was among them, the ghouls got defensive, "Hey, it's okay, they're friendly, they're just here to say hi." Daniel said, and the ghouls look at the six, "Hey, that's kind of creepy." Pinkie Pie said, "They don't talk, they're a quiet bunch." Daniel replied, and the ghouls keep looking, "Uh, hi, I'm Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship from Equestira." Twilight Sparkle said nervously, the ghouls kept looking at her, they did not glare nor were curious, they just looked at the six mares with neutral expressions, "Well, aren't you guys going to say anything?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No, they don't speak, they're a silent tribe." Daniel replied, "Oh, well, let's go see the two in the house." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go to the house. The six mares go and the door opens, Dommiel walks out, "Uh, what are you?" Rarity asked, "A demon." Dommiel replied, "A demon? Where are you from?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The underworld." Dommiel replied, "Wait, you're from Tartarus?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "No, just the underworld in general." Dommiel replied, "So, uh, what exactly do ya do?" Applejack asked, "I just help Tom on the farm, and help Daniel defend the ghouls." Dommiel replied, "What's your name?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Dommiel." Dommiel replied, "So, uh, what were you before you came out here?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Many years ago, Volvox ruled the entire world of the humans and other creatures, I was his second-in-command and personal bodyguard, along with being his most loyal servant, but as the humans and mortals grew more and more in power and authority, the rule of Volvox and us demons, along with angels, began to diminish, we're pretty much powerless now." Dommiel replied, surprising the mares, "So, who is this Volvox guy?" Rainbow Dash asked, Volvox bursts out of the house and stood up on his four legs, shocking the six mares, "That's me." Volvox said, Fluttershy hid behind her friends in fear, "Uh, what were you back then?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "The supreme ruler of the world we're from, but now, I no longer really have any power or authority, so I just spend my days here with Dommiel and we help Tom and Daniel, those ghouls there used to serve under me many years ago as well, me being here makes them feel safe, some people still worship me, though." Volvox replied, "But you don't have any actual authority or power?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No anymore, thousands of years ago, I had supreme authority." Volvox replied, "Do ya miss havin' power?" Applejack asked, "Not really, it's nice to retire after ruling over mortals for billions of years." Volvox replied, shocking the mares, "How old are you?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "Fourteen billion nine hundred ninety nine million nine hundred ninety nine thousand eight hundred eighty two." Volvox replied, the other world's creatures overheard him as well, Princess Celestia was extremely shocked, she was a kid when compared to him, "Is there anything else to know about you?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Volvox thinks for a minute, "No, that's pretty much it." Volvox replied, "Okay, now to those people in the hills." Twilight Sparkle said, "Wait, y'all can't go there." Tom replied, "Why not?" Rarity asked, "They don't like outsiders on their land." Tom replied, "What will happen if we do go there?" Rainbow Dash asked, "At best, kidnapped and held captive, at worst, killed." Dommiel replied, shocking the mares, "Can we at least get to see the tribe's chief?" Applejack asked, "Nope, they still won't welcome you." Volvox replied, "Well, that's all we can do for now, we'll go to the town later." Twilight Sparkle said, and the six mares leave, the people get on with their days while the ponies watch them. The people get on with their days until they hear dragging in the desert to the north, everybody got defensive, Volvox comes out of the ground to look, he saw a man wearing a dark blue long coat, a brown scarf, gray mid-calf length boots, and a black hat, Volvox looks and saw what the dragging noise was, the man had a coffin with him, and was pulling it with him with rope tied around it. The man arrives and the ponies, dragons, and griffons see him, curious about why he had a coffin, Tom thinks he recognizes him, he goes to him and he did, "Django!" Tom said, Django goes to him, "What brings you here?" Tom asked, "Nothing in particular, I'm just wandering from one place to another." Django replied, "You know him, Tom?" Daniel asked, "He and I fought in the war together." Tom replied, the ponies become surprised to hear Tom was a war veteran, "I saved Tom's life once." Django said, he chuckled a bit, "Oh, I remember that day." Tom replied, "Did something happen?" Dommiel asked, "Django and I were ambushed by the south when I was crappin' on the ground, I had the backdoor trots that day, I was busy doin' my business and the southerns were guns ablazin', and Django had to hold them off while I crapped on the ground." Tom replied, Volvox, Dommiel, and Daniel laugh, "Whoo, that sure somethin' Ah don't want to happen to me." Applejack said, her five mare friends were still confused over what Tom was saying, "Well, I need a place to sleep, and I'd like something to eat." Django said, "Right this way, Django." Tom replied, and they entered the house. Django sat at the table while Tom cooked a crow in the pot, he made crow stew, he served it to Django and he began to eat. Knocking is heard at the door and Tom opened it, he saw the six mares again, "Oh, you six again." Tom said, "Can we come in?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Sure, right this way." Tom replied, and they enter, "Why, thank you, darling." Rarity said, "It's been a pleasure, lady." Tom replied, Rarity chuckled, they sat at the table, "So, let me get this straight, you're a war veteran?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Darn right I am, Django here and I fought together." Tom replied, "Say, Django, what's in that coffin of yers?" Applejack asked, "What's inside is my own business, I just carry it around with me." Django replied, "So, uh, what was this war?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Long before we came here, our land was divided into two, north and south, Django and I fought for the north, basically, the north fought to have them Indians up there and the ghouls be free from slavery, and the south wanted to keep it, and that's the basics, gettin' into full detail will probably make y'all buffaloed." Tom replied, "Those guys living in the hills are called Indians?" Rainbow Dash asked, "That's what the humans living here call them, the proper term for them is Native American." Dommiel replied, "Then why do they call them Indians for?" Rarity asked, "Because a bunch of travelers thought they were in a different country, and thought they were Indians, so the name stuck." Volvox replied, "Say, how have things been on the farm, Tom?" Django asked, "We have problems right now, rainin' season just passed, so all of 'em cattle will be fine for now, but a man named Richard Coates has been tryin' to sell my farm, livin' here's been all beer and skittles till he said he wanted to destroy my farm and build a city in place of it." Tom said, shocking the Mane Six, "Ah'm sorry to hear that, partner, but maybe y'all two can reach an agreement." Applejack said, "Not at the deal he has right now, we can't." Tom replied, "What is it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Not only does he wanna annex my farm, he wants send all of my cattle to the poultry so them city folk can eat 'em, and make glue out of their bones." Tom replied, Fluttershy exclaimed with horror, the other five ponies were shocked as well, "Why, that is a bad thing to do, we'll help however we can, darling." Rarity said, "Thank ya, y'all want some dynamite?" Tom asked, confusing the mares except for Applejack, "Sorry, but we don't drink that." Applejack replied, "How about old tom?" Tom asked, "We don't drink that, either." Applejack replied, "Then what do y'all drink?" Tom asked, "Cider made by Applejack's family." Rainbow Dash replied, "Oh, y'all make cider?" Tom asked, "We sell apples, too." Applejack replied, "Maybe we should give them a visit one day, Tom." Dommiel said, "I'll think about it." Tom replied, "Well, I'll be heading to bed now." Django said, "Alright, sleep tight, Django." Tom replied, and Django went to go sleep, "Y'all should head home, it's gettin' late." Tom said, "You're right, we should go, see you guys next time." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the six mares left, "I'm gonna have a brain tablet and then head to bed." Tom said, "Alright, till morning, Tom." Volvox replied, and Tom went outside and smoked a cigar, he went back in and slept after he put the cigar out, Daniel and the ghouls slept, so did the Native Americans, Volvox and Dommiel just meditated until the next day came. The next days comes and Princess Luna had a regular time in the dream realm last night with no problems, Tom woke up early, so did Django, he was about to tend to the cattle, he headed out and saw Fluttershy checking on them, she fed them and checked if they were sick, he was surprised, but smiled when he saw she was helping, he went to go see her, "Have they been givin' ya any trouble?" Tom asked, "No, they're really nice and gentle." Fluttershy replied, "Well, thanks for checkin' on them, I need to get some cow juice now." Tom said, Fluttershy was uneasy until she saw him get a bucket, "Oh, you mean milk them, please, allow me." Fluttershy said, and she did, the cows were happy with her, Tom smiled as Fluttershy did the job, "Here you go." Fluttershy said, "Thank ya." Tom replied as he got ready to pay her, "No, it's fine, I see no value in money." Fluttershy said, "Oh." Tom replied as he put his dollar bills back in his pocket, "I have to go back to my cottage now, I have more animals to tend to." Fluttershy said, "Alright, good luck." Tom replied, and she got ready to leave, but they heard hooves from the east, they look and saw man on a brown horse, his long-sleeve shirt and pants were beige, his boots were black, his hat was a grayish color, and his gun belt was black with silver circles on it as decoration, each one had a different decoration on it, "Mind if I stay here?" the man asked, "Who are you?" Django asked, "Name's Shane." the man replied, "Where were ya goin'?" Tom asked, "Headin' north, nowhere in particular." Shane replied, "Well, you do look tired, go ahead and have a rest, any traveler is welcome here." Tom said, "Thanks, I'll be resting the horse here." Shane replied, and he did, "Wow, you're getting several visitors recently." Fluttershy said, "It happens every once in a while, I've had entire families stay at the farm before." Tom replied, "Really? Oh, that's wonderful, you're such a kind man." Fluttershy said, "I ain't the only one, we're all on hard times now, I've been helpin' mostly veterans." Tom replied, "Well, I'll be going now, I have pets to take care of." Fluttershy said, "Alright, good luck." Tom replied, and he headed to town. Daniel watched over the ghouls while Volvox and Dommiel looked for anymore who were looking for a safe place, "Howdy mister." Apple Bloom said behind Daniel, he turned around and faced her, "Can I interest ya in buyin' one of Granny's famous apple pies?" Apple Bloom asked, "You are?" Daniel asked, "Apple Bloom, Ah'm Applejack's sister." Apple Bloom replied, "Oh, I figured you two were related, you two speak the same way." Daniel said, Apple Bloom smiled, "Well, I don't really have any money right now, so I can't purchase." Daniel said, "Then how do ya make money?" Apple Bloom asked, "Tom goes to the town and does several jobs to make money." Daniel replied, "Like what?" Apple Bloom asked, "Poker, horse breaking, bronco riding, and hunting." Daniel replied, "Huntin'?" Apple Bloom asked, "You know, trading animal parts and fur for money." Daniel replied, "Oh." Apple Bloom said with discomfort in her voice, she then says "Well, Ah'll head to town to sell mah apple pies there." and she begins heading there, "Wait." Daniel said, Apple Bloom stopped and turned around, "Yes." Apple Bloom said, "Be careful in that town over there, some of the people are not friendly." Daniel replied, "Don't worry, Ah will." Apple Bloom said, and she headed to the town. Apple Bloom arrived at the town and saw it was mostly desert, she saw a saloon, an area to play poker, several men throwing horseshoes, a place to do bronco riding, a farm to break horses for riding, and an area to do target practice with guns. Apple Bloom walks forward and saw four men coming to her, "Look at that, an outsider." one man said, "Maybe the horse lost its way." another man replied, Apple Bloom turned around, "Howdy, Ah'm from that land over there to the west, Ah'm here to sell Granny's famous apple pies." Apple Bloom said, "Sure, like they say, there ain't no place like home." the third man said, the other three men laugh, and they all take the apple pies and eat them, they ate all of the apple pies and left the tins on the ground, "Hey, y'all need to pay for those." Apple Bloom said, "Our payer's over there, behind you." the fourth man replied as he pointed with his right index finger, Apple Bloom turned around and looked for the payer, "Huh? Where?" Apple Bloom asked as she looked around, the four men take their revolvers out and fire bullets right behind Apple Bloom's hind hoofs. Apple Bloom was startled and ran forward while screaming while the four men shot bullets at her, they all landed right behind her hoofs. Tom was outside and about to enter the saloon for a drink, he looks to his right and Apple Bloom running away in fear while the four men shot bullets at her hooves, Tom grabbed her and pulled her into the saloon, Apple Bloom screamed while the four men laughed at her. Tom held onto Apple Bloom while she quivered in fear, he noticed he left her wagon of apple pies outside, but ignored it for now and put Apple Bloom on a chair, the women who danced in the saloon walked to see Tom with Apple Bloom, the bartender watched as well, Tom then took the cigar out of his mouth, "It's alright, you're safe now." Tom said, and Apple Bloom calmed down, "What's your name?" Tom asked, "Apple Bloom." Apple Bloom replied, "What are ya doin' out here?" Tom asked, "Ah was hopin' I could sell some of mah granny's pies, but those four mean guys ate 'em all without payin'." Apple Bloom replied, "Well, I'll be, them folks on the owl hoot trails always doin' the works of the dickens." a female dancer said, "Wait, them folks are outlaws?" Apple Bloom asked, "Sure are, sweetie, they like raisin' peoples' bristles." another female dancer replied, "They are always raisin' sand, especially to newcomers, a lot of 'em ain't friendly." a third female dancer said, "Say, are ya Tom?" Apple Bloom asked, "How do ya know me?" Tom asked, "Ah'm Applejack's sister." Apple Bloom replied, "I thought your way of speaking was familiar." Tom said, Apple Bloom smiled, "Can ya check her for me and make sure she ain't hurt?" Tom asked the bartender, "What are ya goin' to do?" the bartender asked, "I'm gonna have a word with those four." Tom replied, and he put the cigar back in his mouth and exited the saloon. Tom walked to the four men who shot at Apple Bloom's hoofs, he saw the coffin maker, Tom looks at him and the coffin maker looked back at him, Tom took the cigar out of his mouth, "Get four coffins ready." Tom said, the coffin maker obliged, Tom walked to the four men, who were just standing around, "Look who it is, the man who fought for the north, we don't like your kind here." a man said, "Go get that small yellow talkin' horse of yours, unless you let her get away." another man said, "See, that's what I wanted to talk to y'all about." Tom replied, "Eh?" the first man asked, "That small horse, I know y'all were just jokin' around, but maybe if y'all apologize, I can convince her y'all didn't mean it." Tom replied, "And why would we do that?" the third man asked, "Because she doesn't understand y'all were just jokin' around, she doesn't get it since she ain't from around here, and if y'all were to apologize..." Tom replied, the four men laugh, Tom glares at them, "I don't think it's nice, you laughin'." Tom said, the four men stop laughing, "My friends don't like people laughin', they get the crazy idea y'all are laughin' at them, now if y'all apologize, like I know you're going to, I might be able to convince that yellow horse y'all didn't mean it." Tom said, one man spits on the ground and the four were about to take their revolvers out, but Tom quickly takes out his revolver and shoots and kills the four men. Tom spins his revolver and puts it back in his holster, he turns around and walks back to the saloon, he saw Apple Bloom outside with the other people who worked in the saloon, she was shocked by what she just saw, "Why'd ya do that for?" Apple Bloom asked, "There ain't no law in this town, and them city folk are comin' to change things, that's how things work in this town, you cause trouble, you get shot, the original sheriff died a long time ago." Tom replied, "Uh, that ain't how we do things back at mah home." Apple Bloom said, "What do y'all do?" Tom asked, "Forgive, and offer 'em our friendship." Apple Bloom replied, "Oh, you better be careful with that, some of them folk you try to befriend will make you end up puttin' your hand in the devil's hand." a female dancer said, "You should head home, young one, your family's probably worried about you." the bartender said, and Apple Bloom got her wagon and walked home, "She ain't hurt, is she?" Tom asked, "Nope, not a shot hit her." the bartender replied, much to Tom's relief, "I'll be going now, too, I have a farm to run." Tom said, and he left as well. Apple Bloom returned home and told her family what has happened in the town, "Wait a sec, did ya say Tom shot them folks?" Applejack asked, "Yeah, he said there ain't no law in the town, so the people take matters into their own hoofs, he said if you cause trouble, yer gonna get shot." Apple Bloom replied, shocking her family, "Apple Bloom, Applejack, Big Mac, we all go there together, if mah feelins' are right, then this town is gonna be just like Appleloosa when yer Granny was a young'un." Granny Smith said, "Appleloosa was like that too?" Apple Bloom asked, "Eeyup." Big Macintosh replied, "Ah didn't know either, Apple Bloom, this town might be dangerous." Applejack said, "Well, Ah'm glad them ruffians didn't hurt ya, it's a darn shame we couldn't sell anythin', though." Granny Smith said, "Well, Ah was thinking bout bringin' the students there, too, bring yer friends, Apple Bloom, and we'll can take Sugar Belle with us, we'll all meet the people there tomorrow." Applejack said, "Well, it's gettin' late, let's head to bed." Granny Smith replied, and they all slept. The next day comes and Tom milks the cattle early in the morning, they hear another horse to the east and look, they saw another man coming, he had on a white hat, a brown beard and moustache, and spat out chewing tobacco. Tom, Django, and Shane recognized him, he came to the farm and the three were ready to take out their revolvers and fire at him, the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs arrived at that time, "Relax, I don't fight in the war anymore." the man said, "You still fought for the south side." Tom replied, "I recognize you as well, you're a wanted outlaw now." Django said, "Yeah, I know that, but I ain't here to cause trouble." the man said, "Excuse me, who is this?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Josey Wales, he and I were enemies in the war." Tom replied, "Well, the war's over, and I sided with the south because the north burned my home, and killed my wife and son." Josey said, "Turn back, Josey, you ain't welcome here." Tom said, and he was ready to shoot him, Josey was ready to fire as well, "Wait, stop." Princess Celestia said as she walked between them, "I understand there was a war before you all came here, and there were two different sides, but the war is over, and people from opposing sides should stop fighting, and work together to help one another." Princess Celestia said, Tom, Django, and Shane were still ready to shoot at Josey, the Native Americans heard the commotion and rode their horses to the farm, they had their rifles with him, Daniel had his pistol drawn as well, Volvox and Dommiel watched, "Wait." the Native American chief said, he and his tribe rode their horses down, the others looked at him, "This man would not make peace with the Bluecoats, he may go in peace." the tribe's chief said, "That is why he should be shot down." Tom replied, "You sure about that, your Indian friends there sound like they sided with the south." Josey said, "Enough, guys, the war's over, there are no more sides." Twilight Sparkle said, they all look at her, "Let him come peacefully, everyone, he doesn't look like he's here to cause trouble." Princess Cadence said, Tom, Django, Shane, and Daniel lower their guns, "You're welcome for now." Tom said, "I'd reckon so." Josey replied, and he rode his horse forward. Another horse was heard from the east and they saw another man coming, he had scruffy black hair, a gray hat, two scars on his right cheek, a scar on his noise, scars around his right eyebrow, and a small scar to the left of his nose, he wore black gloves, a vest, a shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a regular belt, a gun belt with a revolver, jeans, boots, an bandolier with bullets on it, and a holster on his back that had a rifle on it, he also had a knife and a lasso on his belt. Tom, Django, Shane, and Josey all recognized him, they were all ready to fire at him, the man was ready to take out his revolver, "I thought y'all would be more welcoming." the man said, "Those who walked on the owl hoot trail ain't welcome here." Tom replied, "I don't live that life no more, I'm a rancher now." the man said, "Well, are you gonna pull your pistol or whistle Dixie?" Josey asked, "The only thing I'll be whistling is your swan song." the man replied, "Guys, stop." Sunburst said, "Hold on a sec, did y'all say this man's an outlaw?" Applejack asked, "Darn right, this man's a bank robber, and a killer." Tom replied, "Y'all fought in the war, y'all got blood on your hands as well." the man said, "Enough." Princess Celestia said as she used her telekinesis to make them lower their weapons, everybody took notice of it, "No fighting, we're all here to introduce ourselves, you'll start first." Princess Celestia said, "Alright, my name's John, John Marston, I'm looking for a man named Bill Williamson." the man replied, "Bill? What happened to serving under Dutch?" Dommiel asked, "You see, about that, Dutch went insane, pretty much everyone of my old gang is dead, the only ones left are Bill, Javier, Dutch, and myself." John replied, "Why do you want Bill for?" Volvox asked, "My family is held hostage by the government, they want my old gang members in exchange of letting them go." John replied, "Look at that, them city folk now takin' us hostage." Tom said, "Sorry, John, but Bill was never around here, we have posters of every outlaw that's been around here." Dommiel said, "Well, I'd like to see them, I might know one of 'em." John replied, and Dommiel got the wanted posters out, John looked at the pictures, he saw Josey Wales as one of them, he also saw One Eyed Snake, Leaping Clint, John Williamson, Short Nose Phil, Big Mouth Carter, Nigel Anderson, Billy Ballsack, Freebo Freddy, Black Eye Johnny, Theodore Walton, Bloody Bill, Redhead Ronny, Andrew Anderson, and Dingo Derek, "Nope, I don't recognize any of 'em." John said, "Well, you can stay on my farm for now, but cause any trouble, and I'll beat you all hollow." Tom said, "Whoa there, Tom! Ah think that's goin' a bit too far." Applejack said, "Eeyup." Big Macintosh said, "That seems to be everyone." Volvox said, "Okay, now we can finally introduce one another." Princess Luna said, and they do, the people there were Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Star Swirl the Bearded, Mistmane, Rockhoof, Somnambula, Flash Magnus, Mage Meadowbrook, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, Sky Beak, Ocean Flow, Terramar, General Seaspray, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunburst, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, Silverstream, Gilda, Gabby, Big Macintosh, Granny Smith, Sugar Belle, Igneous Rock Pie, Cloudy Quartz, Limestone Pie, Maud Pie, Marble Pie, Mudbriar, Cheese Sandwich, Cheerilee, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Filthy Rich, and ponies from Appleloosa, "Y'all dress like us." John said to the ponies from Appleloosa, "We'd like to see the town." a male pony from Appleloosa replied, "I used to wear a poncho just like that when I was younger." Tom said to Cheese Sandwich, "Really? I thought I was the only one who liked the design." Cheese Sandwich replied, "Say, do you guys have tales to say about the war?" Spike asked, "I'd rather not look back." Tom replied, "Yeah, I think a part in all of us died in that war." Josey said, "I wanna hear about it." Princess Ember replied, "Maybe another time, we had hundreds of battles." Django said, "How long did the war last?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Four years." Tom replied, "Was the war bad?" Fluttershy asked, "Yes, thousands of people died, a lot of them were people we befriended during the battle." Shane replied, "Wow, that must've been a tough time." Gilda said, "It was, most people who hang around me ain't around for long, whether they like or dislike me." Josey replied, "I didn't fight in the war, I was busy helping Dutch." John said, "I was in another continent during that time." Daniel said, "What did you do?" Sandbar asked, "I was in a war, too." Daniel replied, "You too?" Rarity asked, "It's been tough times for all of us, many are still bitter about the war." the Native American chief replied, "Well, maybe if you all put your differences aside, and helped one another, surviving would be easier." Princess Celestia said, "Well, we can't rest just yet, we still have problems to deal with." Daniel replied, "Like what?" Yona asked, "Them city folk wantin' to destroy my farm and kill my cattle." Tom replied, Fluttershy gasped at hearing it, "A wealthy businessman wants to drive us out of our home by selling our land to the city's government, so he can destroy our land while looking for oil." the Native American chief said, shocking the world's natives, "My former commanding officer is still out there, he's the one who ordered the genocide and enslavement of these ghouls here, I have to find him and stop him." Daniel said, horrifying the world's natives, Pinkie Pie and Princess Skystar gasped, "Where is he right now?" Princess Celestia asked, "We don't know." Volvox replied, "How did you guys all come to living together in peace?" Gallus asked, "Yeah, I'm wondering about that, too, you all look divided." Scootaloo said, "We had to face a common enemy." the Native American chief replied, "Who was it?" Sweetie Belle asked, "The Bell Witch." Daniel replied, "The Bell Witch?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Yeah, the Bell Witch haunted us till Volvox and Dommiel destroyed her." Tom replied, "People not befriend Bell Witch?" Yona asked, "Trust us, it wouldn't have worked, she had to be destroyed, I'm sorry, but it was the only way to stop her from hurting us." Volvox replied, "What did she do?" Fluttershy asked, "A lot, attack us, make inanimate objects move, make us paralyzed, mimic voices to trick us, make the sounds of dogs fighting to distract us, and tried to make us leave by using the voices of our parents to make them think they were worried about us, she was also able to appear in more than one location at the same time, we were all haunted." Dommiel replied, "You guys didn't forgive her?" Ocellus asked, "She didn't regret her actions." Daniel replied, "Oh, well, I'm certain you all didn't need to destroy her." Princess Luna said, "She would've continued to haunt us even more." Tom replied, "Oh." Princess Luna said, "You all are farmers?" Dragon Lord Torch asked, "Nope, only I am." Tom replied, "What do the rest of you guys do?" Silverstream asked, "Nothing in particular, I just go to places, do work to get paid, and leave." Django replied, "I don't do anything either, I just go to random places." Shane said, "So do I, I ain't got nowhere to go." Josey said, the world's natives felt bad, "So you guys just wander from place to place?" Smolder asked, "Pretty much." Shane replied, "I did the same thing in my younger days." Tom said, "I've got places to go, I have to find my old gang and turn them in." John said, "Well, good luck with that." Shining Armor replied, "Can we go to the town over there?" Princess Skystar asked, "Of course, but be careful, them city folk tryin' to change our ways." Tom replied, "Well, let's go, and stick with me, y'all, Ah'll know how to handle people like 'em." Granny Smith said, and they all head to the town. The world's natives enter the town while Granny Smith leads them, the natives to the town aim their revolvers at them, "Hold yer horses, y'all, we're just from the neighboring countries." Granny Smith said, "You ain't from the city, ain't ya?" a man asked, "Do Ah sound like Ah'm from the city?" Granny Smith asked, the man aimed his gun at her, "Ah don't look like it, but I was quite the slinger back in mah day." Granny Smith said, "Well, let's see if that's true." the man replied, and apples were targets were set up, Granny Smith was given a revolver, she fires six shots while pressing the hammer down really fast with her left front hoof and pulling the trigger with her right front hoof, the loudness of the gun scared the world's natives, she hit every target with ease, "Not bad, is there any one of y'all ain't from the west who knows how to shoot?" the man asked, "Allow me to demonstrate." Cheese Sandwich replied, and Cheese Sandwich shot the gun after it was reloaded, Apple Bloom was shocked to see Cheese Sandwich was an extremely good and fast shooter with the revolver, his shooting was almost as good and as fast as Tom's shooting, "I gotta say, I'm acock at how fast you can shoot." the man said, "Thanks, I learned to shoot when I was younger." Cheese Sandwich replied, "I can see that, go on, and watch out for them city folk, they ain't friendly." the man said, and he left. The world's natives walk around and were a bit disappointed, "This place isn't fun, all of this dull sand color is boring." Pinkie Pie said, "I have to admit, darling, it is." Rarity replied, "No kiddin', even Appleloosa was brighter than this place." Applejack said, "Hey, that's where Ah went yesterday." Apple Bloom said, and they saw the saloon, "Would ya look at that, this place got a saloon, we can have drinks in there." Applejack said, "Yak could use drink, yaks thirsty." Prince Rutherford replied, "Yes, so can I." Sugar Belle said, "I'm thirsty too." Princess Ember said, "Well, let's go." Gabby replied, and everybody entered while Dragon Lord Torch got on his stomach and put his head through, "Ah, it's you again, young one, would ya like another drink?" the bartender asked, "No, Ah'm fine, mah family's and friends are explorin' with me today." Apple Bloom replied, "What can I get y'all?" the bartender asked, "Adam's Ale for me." Granny Smith replied, "Ah'll take an Adam's Ale, too." Applejack said, "Eeyup." Big Macintosh said, "Uh, Adam's Ale?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's our way of sayin' water." a male earth pony from Appleloosa replied, "You guys should write these down, I don't understand a thing they're saying." Cheerilee said, "Y'all from the city?" a woman asked, they look and Rarity was in awe at their dresses, "I must say, those dresses are beautiful." Rarity said as she walked to them, "Hands off, lady, these ain't cheap." a second woman replied, "I must say, tis town ist strange." Cloudy Quartz said, "Aye, I am not familiar with thou customs." Igneous Rock Pie said, "Y'all two speak just like mah ancestors." a third woman replied, "You guys spoke like our ma and pa before, too?" Limestone Pie asked, "Yup, but that was like two hundred years ago." the bartender replied, surprising the world's natives, "If it's okay to ask, what is this, a bar, tavern, or saloon?" a male earth pony from Appleloosa asked, "It's a doggery." the bartender replied, "Oh, Ah figured, this saloon don't look very fancy, now that ya mention it." Applejack said, "Unfortunately, I might have to close soon, them city folk is gonna annex this land from us soon." the bartender replied, "You guys seriously need to work on your grammar." Twilight Sparkle said, "Now, Twilight, Ah know their grammar is improper when compared to where ya grew up, but in mah language, they are speakin' properly." Applejack replied, "I am hopelessly confused." Twilight Sparkle said, "You from the city, lady?" a female dancer asked, "Yes, I'm from my home country's capital." Twilight Sparkle replied, "How about the rest of y'all?" another female dancer asked, "I'm from there, too." Spike replied, "I'm from the city." Rainbow Dash said, "Me too." Fluttershy said, "Nope, I grew up in a very small town." Rarity said, "Ah grew up on a farm." Applejack said, "Me too, a rock farm." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, us dragons grew up in a volcanic environment." Princess Ember said, "Us griffons grow in a dump of a place, everything is destroyed." Gallus said, "Yak live in snowy environment." Prince Rutherford said, "Well, our kind lives in a cave." King Thorax said, "And our kind lives in the mountain and the sea." Silverstream said, "I see, so none of y'all are from the desert." the bartender replied, "Actually, some of mah relatives are." Applejack said, "Oh, are y'all gonna stay here all day?" the bartender asked, "No, we're actually planning to explore the entire town." Princess Luna replied, "Well, y'all should leave then, I gotta close up the doggery soon." the bartender said, "Well, here ya go, pardner." Granny Smith replied, and paid him bits, the bartender just took it and the world's natives left. Granny Smith leads the world's natives and they all see humans player poker, "Oh, Ah remember that, I played that game a lot in mah younger days." Granny Smith said, "Whoa! They got horseshoe throwing too!" Rainbow Dash said excitedly, Applejack chuckled when she also saw it, "Hey, look, there's a rodeo goin' on." Apple Bloom said, and they all see a human riding a bronco, Fluttershy was very uncomfortable, they look and saw the horse breaking job, it made everycreature uncomfortable, "That looks forced." Ocellus said, "It does, I don't think the horse likes it." Fluttershy replied, they all become scared when they hear shooting, they look to the left and saw men doing target practice with revolvers, the loudness of the guns scared everybody, "Hey, wait, I see the scenery changing." Spike said, and they all keep turning and looked north, they saw the desert, "Look at that, they've got a desert, too." a female pony from Appleloosa said, "Well, let's check it out a bit." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they go together. The creatures enter the desert and pant from the heat, the dragons endured the heat better than the other creatures, while the yaks struggled, "Place hot, Yona need rest." Yona said, "No kiddin', place is as hot as a brothel on nickel night." Applejack replied, "This heat is ruining my mane." Rarity said, "I think... we should just fly." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they did, the people who could not fly or use magic were picked up and carried. The world's natives look around and they saw a lot of cacti, "I see somethin' slitherin' on the ground there." Apple Bloom said, they all look and see it, "Snake? Snake!" Twilight Sparkle said with fear, she freaked out and flew back in fear, knocking down everycreature, "Watch where you're going." Princess Ember said, "Sorry, but I'm really scared of snakes." Twilight Sparkle replied, "It's alright, Twilight, them slippery slitherin' critters are the bane of many ponies in Appleloosa." Applejack said, "Hey, look, I see people up ahead." Sweetie Belle said, and everycreature looked, they saw stagecoaches and wagons up ahead, along with other people riding animals, but to their surprises, those who rode independently rode camels instead of horses. Fluttershy was enamored by the camels and flew to them, "Excuse me." Fluttershy said to the nearest camel, it and the male rider look at her, "Where's the nearest town from here?" Fluttershy asked, "Y'all just came from it, that's the only town left 'round here, everythin' else is city." the rider replied, "Uh, I was asking the camel." Fluttershy said, "Sorry, pardner, but camel don't speak." the rider replied, "Oh." Fluttershy said, "I suggest you head home, the desert's real hot today, you should head home before you get burned by the sun." the rider replied, and they rode off. Everycreature got back together and saw the big city everywhere, to their shocks, it was expanding, and destroying the old towns and nature, "Wow, that's a lot of city." King Thorax said, "Well, I think that's everything." Shining Armor replied, "Agreed, let's head back." Princess Celestia said, and they do. The world's natives head home and rest of the day, they all go to sleep and fall asleep easily, tired from the heat, Fluttershy put her animals to sleep quickly so she could sleep, they all went to bed and slept peacefully. Everybody was sleeping peacefully until they hear mooing and struggling, it woke up the ponies and the people around the farm, they all hear voices as well, Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, and John get up and run outside. The five arrive outside and saw five men, one had a lasso and was trying to rustle one of the cattle, Daniel took out his pistol and fired a warning shot into the air in an attempt to scare them off, but the other four men take out rifles and begin shooting at him. Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, and John take out their revolvers and fire at the men from behind, they grunt as they fall, the man rustling the cattle was still trying to steal it, they were about to fire at him but a lasso wrapped around his abdomen and he was pulled down. Tom looks and saw Applejack with rope in her mouth, Fluttershy flew forward and took the rope off of the cattle, "Are you okay? Let me see." Fluttershy said as she checked the cattle, "Thank you, you really saved me a few bullets." Tom said, "What in tarnation is goin' on?" Applejack asked, "I'm about to check." Tom replied, and he looks at them, he can tell from their clothes they were from the city, "They were sent by that guy who wants to destroy my farm and sell my cattle to the glue factory." Tom said, "How d'ya know that?" Applejack asked, "This ain't the first time this happened, it means he's gettin' impatient, every once in a while, he's gonna send rustlers here." Tom replied, "Rustlers?" Applejack asked, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, they look to the west and saw her with Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity, "What are rustlers?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Thieves, they break onto farms and try to steal cattle from honest livin' farmers." Applejack replied, Rarity exclaimed with shock, "How dare they! Them ruffians shall not have them!" Rarity said, "I really appreciate it, but y'all should get some sleep." Tom said, "Well, let us stay here, we'll watch out for anymore rustlers." Applejack replied, "Alright, thanks." Tom said, and he went back into the house with Django, Shane, Josey, and John, the Mane Six and Daniel watch for anymore rustlers coming for the rest of the night. The next day comes and the Mane Six slept in the house, Fluttershy and Applejack went out with Tom to help him tend to the cattle, they work while Volvox and Dommiel showed the other famous people and told the ponies what happened to them, Sartana was nowhere to be found, Wyatt Earp died from illness, Landon Ricketts got killed in a duel with Erron Black, Red Harlow has gone under the radar, Dutch van der Linde has disappeared, and Arthur Morgan was nowhere to be found, "Dutch went insane after a while, when he realized that his steal from the rich, give to the poor methods would actually not make the world a better place, several of his gears came loose." John said, "Well, maybe if he just asked to share, he wouldn't have to had committed such crimes." Rarity replied, "Arthur was also a member of Dutch's gang, I forgot what happened to him, and I remember Landon, he was famous when I was a boy." John said, "What did you guys do back then?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We're all gunslingers, it's not as popular as it used to be." Django replied, "People used those guns we have, a gun is a tool, it's as good or as bad as the man using it." Shane said, "There were a lot of sayings about gunslingers when I was a boy, who was the fastest, the strongest, the deadliest, you name it." Josey said, "People always said Landon Ricketts was the fastest." Tom replied, "Uh, you just spoke twice, Josey." Rainbow Dash said, "I didn't say that." Josey replied, "No, it was me who said it." Tom said, the Mane Six were very shocked, Tom's and Josey's voices sounded exactly the same, "What did they mean by who's the strongest?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Basically, who can endure the most shots before fallin'." John replied, "Answer to that is different everywhere." Josey said, "Back when we were younger, the deadliest gunslinger was a man wearin' a poncho." Shane said, "What was his name?" Rainbow Dash asked, "That's the thing, no one knows." Dommiel replied, "What did he look like?" Applejack asked, and Volvox shows them a wanted picture of him, the man wore a brown hat with a black telescope crown on it, his hair was brown, he also had a brown stubble, there was a cigar in his mouth, it said his special features were a poncho, and his gun had a silver snake engraved on its handle, the Mane Six see the poster said he had three names, Joe, Manco, and Blondie, Blondie was his most well known name, but his real name was unknown, they did notice that he looked exactly like Tom, "Y'all never found out what his name was?" Applejack asked, "Nope, even we don't know." Volvox replied, "People say he ain't the deadliest gunslinger no more, the deadliest one now is Erron Black." Josey said, surprising the six ponies. Noises were heard outside, they sounded like cars, "Them city folk are here, I'll be back." Tom said, and he stood up and walked outside. Tom walks out and Volvox teleported outside and made himself his regular size, Dommiel flew up into the air with his shadow powers and watched, Daniel had his pistol out, the Native Americans rode their horses to the place to see what was going on. Everybody saw Model T cars coming, Tom saw Robert come out, he had on a black business suit and hat, he was clean shaven and had a round face shape, his skin was pale, and his eyes were blue. Robert walks forward along with his construction workers, "Ready to sell your farm and cattle, Tom?" Robert asked, "No, I ain't goin' anywhere." Tom replied, "I see, so you won't give up that easily, the city will consume your farm eventually, if it isn't me who buys it out." Robert said, "I ain't the only one livin' here." Tom replied, "We have already come to terms with that, you can sell that farm and your cattle, and live peacefully with the city, and have those ghouls there work for me, building cities is hard and dangerous, Tom, nobody will miss those savages if they die on the job." Robert said, the ghouls were scared, Daniel aimed his pistol at him, "They're residents, too, you ain't takin' them." Tom said, "Then I would like to have your cattle." Robert replied, "To send them to the glue factory?" Tom asked, "And cooked and served, they're cattle, they're meant to be eaten." Robert replied, "No, they ain't, their milk is our main drink." Tom said, "Then what is your main source of food?" Robert asked, "The corn behind me, and the crows we shoot down." Tom replied, "You can't digest corn." Robert said, "It's still better than nothin'." Tom replied, "If you worked in the city, you could have some chickens." Robert said, "I ain't doin' that job, I've seen what y'all do to them birds." Tom replied, "That's nothin' personal, Tom, makin' them chickens fat is required so they can be nice and big when they're eaten." Robert said, "I still ain't takin' it, I am not gonna make chickens get big and fat to the point where their legs break." Tom replied, the Mane Six overhear him and run outside, they look at Robert with shock, "It's not personal, Tom, it's just part of the job." Robert said, "My decision remains, I ain't sellin' my farm or the cattle." Tom replied, "Hold off all you want, someone will buy you off eventually. Let's go." Robert said, and he got in the car and his people drove off. Tom sighed and the six ponies walk to him, "Is that true, Tom?" Fluttershy asked, "What?" Tom asked, "Do they really make chickens overweight until their legs break." Fluttershy asked, "Yes, they do it to make the chickens plump so they're big when they're eaten." Tom replied, shocking the mares, "We have to stop it, where is it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Everywhere in the cities, but there isn't one near here." Tom replied, Fluttershy began to tear up, "I know it's tough, but we can't save all of 'em." Tom said, Fluttershy began to cry, her five friends comforted her, "How could they? Them animals can do more things than just be eaten." Applejack said, "I know, but the people in the city only see them as food." Tom replied, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity began to tear up as well, "I think y'all should head home and sort yourselves out there." Tom said, they agreed and headed to their homes. The Mane Six sort through their thoughts and feelings on the chickens at Sugarcube Corner, Starlight Glimmer and Spike were with them, "Should we contact Sunset?" Spike asked, "No, Spike, I don't think we're going to need her." Twilight Sparkle replied, "So, what are you guys going to do?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "We're going to help Tom defend his farm." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Yes, the man who wants to build the city there also wants to kill his cattle." Fluttershy said, "Exactly, we won't let that happen." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Maybe we can work somethin' out." Applejack said, "Why, Applejack, what do you have in mind, darling?" Rarity asked, "Maybe if we get the cattle outta there, and just have Tom sell his farm, then maybe the cattle can live." Applejack replied, "But where would the others live after that?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Oh, Ah haven't thought about that." Applejack replied, "Maybe we can get the two to work a deal out without having the cattle slaughtered." Twilight Sparkle said, "I think I can persuade him." Pinkie Pie replied, "Uh, Pinkie, I think it'll be best if you let me do the persuading." Twilight Sparkle said, Pinkie Pie looked down, "Maybe we should go to help." Starlight Glimmer said, "Sure, I'd appreciate that." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, let's go." Spike said, and they head back to the farm. Volvox and Dommiel were looking after the cattle with Giovi since Tom went to town to make more money, Volvox hears him and saw him trying to break a horse so it can be ridden, he was riding on top of it while the horse bucked around, it horse was eventually broken and he rode it into the barn, he was paid five dollars, which was a lot in the town. Tom hears a man struggling and saw it was a new man, he falls off of the horse and it bucks around and destroys part of the farm Tom was working at. The horse bucks around, it jumps around and hits the ground with its hoofs, the horse jumps and bucks up and down, Tom realized it was must have been a new horse, and has never had anyone on its back before, so it was freaking out. Tom sees the horse heading to his farm while it freaked out, the Mane Six, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike head back to the farm and see the wild horse freaking out, shocking them, "Oh my, what is wrong?" Rarity asked, Fluttershy flew to the horse, "Hey, it's okay, calm down, what's the matter?" Fluttershy asked in a soft and gentle voice, the horse jumped around and bucked and it soon landed on her, she grunted and the horse jumped off of her, it kept jumping and bucking, shocking them, "Hang on, Ah got this." Applejack said, and she ran to it, she jumped got on the horse's back, the horse continued to buck and jump, "Whoa! Easy now!" Applejack said as she rode on it, she balanced herself while the horse kept freaking out, "Come on now, it's alright, we're ain't gonna hurt ya." Applejack said as the horse kept moving around, her friends were getting nervous, "Easy, easy." Applejack said, the horse kept bucking and it soon stopped and neighed as it rinds up on its hind legs, "Yee-haw!" Applejack said happily as she held her hat in her front left hoof, the horse calmed down and Applejack rode it around, Fluttershy was very uncomfortable with the horse breaking technique. Tom walked back and saw the horse, "Thanks, the owner's waitin' for it, this way." Tom said, and he leads them. Tom takes the seven mares and Spike to the owner of the horse breaking area, "Thank you kindly." the man said, "Yer welcome, mister." Applejack replied, "Uh, excuse me." Fluttershy said, the others look at her, "There are other ways to tame animals besides forcing them like that." Fluttershy said, "Well, I'm sure there is, but it's the best way for us men, we don't have soothing voices like how women do." the man replied, "Oh, well, uh, allow me." Fluttershy said, and she went to a wild horse roaming around in the fenced area, she did some therapy talking and persuading, and the horse was tamed without having to be ridden, "Well, I'll be, she might be a natural." the man said, "Well, her home is an animal shelter." Applejack replied, the man smiled, "Say, where's y'all doxology works at?" Applejack asked, "Oh, we used to have plenty of 'em, but they got destroyed in place of cities gettin' built, it made us all-overish." the man replied, "Ah'm sure it did, those are important to the community." Applejack said, "Don't you all get tired of this job?" Rarity asked, "I'll admit, it does become dull music after a while, but it's necessary, wild horses like to roam into our homes and destroy 'em, we also use horses for farm work." the man replied, Fluttershy flew back, "All done." Fluttershy said, the man saw the horses were all tamed, Fluttershy tamed them by just speaking, "Would ya look at that, I don't know if I have enough money to pay ya." the man said, "No, it's fine, I take care of a lot of animals." Fluttershy replied, "Well, it was nice to see them, we'll be going now." Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright, take care." the man replied, and the seven mares and Spike go back to Tom's farm. Tom attends to a sick ghoul while Daniel, Giovi, Shane, and Django checked him, Josey and John were busy looking out for any rustlers, "Hey, them colorful horses, and whatever that thing is, is comin' here." John said, and they see them arrive, "Tom, darling, we have an idea, we were thinking maybe we can make a deal with that other man without having the cattle slaughtered." Rarity said, "It ain't gonna be easy, them city folk usually don't like renegotiations, and it ain't common for women to have a say in such things." Tom replied, "What?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "Wow, Granny was right, females really didn't have a say in givin' orders in Appleloosa in her younger days, either, this place really is the same." Applejack replied, "Well, at least one of y'all understands our ways." Tom said, "Well, are you willing to listen to what we got?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "What do y'all have in mind?" Tom asked, "Fluttershy will take the cattle to her cottage, and you can sell the farm, and then you and the others could live with Applejack on her farm." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, I'm not sure about this, this is home for all of us." Tom said, "Give it a try, Tom." Volvox said, "What?" Tom asked with surprise, "It might be worth it, then those city guys can stop bothering us about it." Dommiel replied, "Okay, but we still have two more problems." Tom said, "What are they?" Rarity asked, "The Indians have to deal with Richard Morbucks, he wants to sell their land to the government so he can expand his oil mining business." Tom replied, "And the other one?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Finding my commanding officer before he kills every ghoul." Daniel replied, reminding the seven mares and Spike, "Hey, someone's coming." Starlight Glimmer said, and they saw another Model T car, it was highly decorated, they see a man come out, "Ugh, he is unbelievably fat." Rarity said, "That's Richard right there." Tom said, they see Richard was obese, wore a black fancy business suit, a black vest under his blazer, a white shirt under the vest, a monocle on his left eye, he wore a black top hat, he had a round face shape, was bald, and had a thick white moustache. Richard walks up to the hills and they see Richard had two types of workers with him, they were all men, the first type had naturally red hair, and the other type had yellow skin, every worker was like that, they watch him and the Native Americans ride down with their horses and had rifles with them, "What do you want?" the Native American chief asked, "Are you prepared to leave?" Richard asked, "No, we're staying." the Native American chief replied, "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Richard said, "What are you saying?" the Native American chief asked, and they hear walking, they saw a man stand to Richard's right, the humans were very shocked to see who it was, it was Erron Black, "Who is that?" Spike asked, "Erron Black, the deadliest gunslinger in the country." Dommiel replied, "Okay, nice and easy now, guys, unless you wish to be killed, evacuate your land, and I won't have to shoot down any of you." Erron Black said in a calm and stoic tone, shocking the ponies and Spike, they run to him, "Hey! You can't just take their land like that!" Pinkie Pie said, "I can, and I will, their land now belongs to the city government." Richard replied, "We were here first." the Native American chief said, "That doesn't matter, you can't fight change and progression, now surrender your land, and work for me, or die." Richard replied, the ponies and Spike were angry, "What makes you think you can just come here and take their home away?" Applejack asked, "Society demands it." Richard replied, guns are cocked and they see John and Josey were there, "I ain't lettin' ya take their land, this has to been their home for many years." John said, "That's right, and this tribe sided with me during the war." Josey said, "Wait a minute, John Marston, Josey Wales, a former gang member and a Greycoat, you're both wanted men." Richard replied, "I ain't wanted no more, I'm workin' for the government now." John said, "Let John go, Erron Black, but fire at Josey." Richard said, "Hold up, where's my money?" Erron Black asked, and Richard paid him, Josey and Erron Black fired at one another, Josey grunted and fell while Erron Black still stood, shocking the ponies and Spike, "Well, who else wants to get shot?" Erron Black asked, "Stand down, mister." Applejack replied, "Why?" Erron Black asked, "I'll zap you down with my magic." Twilight Sparkle replied while her horn glowed, "My bullets will get to you first." Erron Black said, Twilight Sparkle shot a beam out of her horn, Erron Black simply moved to his right and dodged it, shocking her, "Stop, it is not our nature to fight women." Richard said, "Why? Afraid you'll lose?" Rainbow Dash asked smugly, "No, it's dishonorable." Richard replied, "Oh, well then, Twilight, dear, I think you should stand down as well." Rarity said, and she did, "Come along with me, you bog trotters and coolies, you all have work to do elsewhere." Richard said, and they left, "You alright?" Applejack asked, "Yeah, it ain't too bad." Josey replied, and Django and Shane carry him, the ghouls used their magic to heal him, "It's getting late, we should head home." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all go home. The next day comes and the Mane Six and Princess Celestia go into the northern hills to meet the Native Americans, they ride their horses and surround them, "Are you the ruler?" Princess Celestia asked the Native American in front of her, "Yes, I am the tribe's chief, White Horse." the Native American chief replied, "I am the chief's wife and tribe's doctor, Black Wolf." the female Native American to White Horse's left said, "I am the ruler of these ponies and the dragon, Princess Celestia." Princess Celestia said, "I noticed, your kind will help us defend our land, you all may go in peace." White Horse replied, "Thank you, but we wish to help, and befriend you guys." Princess Celestia said, "And why exactly?" White Horse asked, "We have noticed you all are mostly isolated and attack those who try to come, we were hoping by befriending you all, we can ease up tensions." Princess Celestia replied, "You all have already earned our trust." White Horse replied, "Indeed, whether we choose life or death for you is determined by your actions, since you all have decided to help us, it shall be life." Black Wolf said, "I was hoping we could live together peacefully." Princess Celestia replied, "We already do, and we have all come to terms with one another, we are at peace." White Horse said, "So, are we friends then?" Princess Celestia asked, "Yes, I understand you all have a different way of living from us, and are confused over our ways, but you all are allies to us." White Horse replied, "Well, we will continue to help, but in exchange, we'd like for you to defend us in our times of need." Princess Celestia said, "Fair enough, allies it is." White Horse replied, and they went their separate ways. Daniel attends to the ghouls and Shane decided to help him, the two tend to the sickly and comfort the children, "Is that all of them?" Shane asked, "Yeah, for now." Daniel replied, they hear walking to the southeast and Daniel went to go check it out. Daniel walked into the narrow path and he heard a blade ting, he saw a male ghoul in front of him, holding a sword towards him, a female ghoul and a male ghoul toddler were with him, they were nervous, Daniel takes the glove off of his right hand and shows them a tattoo of two black serpentine dragons on his right hand, one was right-side up while the other was upside-down. The three ghouls look and realized it was the tattoo the ghouls gave to the people of Daniel's unit that have sided with the ghouls to help them defend their home, they become relieved and hug him, he hugged them back, he led them back to the farm. Daniel walks back with the three ghouls and they see them, "Quick, Dommiel, get the flag up." Volvox said, and they do, they bring up a big orange and purple flag with the ghouls' dragon symbol on it, they hear running and they saw a big group of ghouls arrive at the farm, much to their relief. Daniel ran to them and got the ones who were sick, Tom and Dommiel ran to help them as well, while Shane, Django, Josey, and John were on the lookout for anyone who would try to hurt them, Volvox kept an eye out as well, he also saw White Horse and Black Wolf have their tribe scout the area, the ghouls arrive and the elderly were being carried, the world's natives see every male ghoul was shirtless and wore black pants, while every female ghoul wore long-sleeve shirts and pants, some were barefoot, and some wore shoes, they all had black claws of place of fingers and toes. The ponies went to them to help them recover, "What are they doin' here?" Granny Smith asked, "Some of them were brought to this continent by Mortimer to be slaves, me and the other people from my military unit are trying our best to keep them free." Daniel replied, "Where are the other members of your unit?" Princess Luna asked, "Spread out across the land, we don't stay in one place so the ghouls can be safe in other areas than just here." Daniel replied, "I see, it's good you all are doing this, we'd like to aid them as well." Princess Celestia said, "Thank you, I still don't know how they got here." Daniel replied, "It looks like they opened a portal with their magic to come here." Volvox said as he looked down the path, "Okay, good, they can still teleport if they wish to escape." Daniel said, "We'll be helping now, I brought some medicine from my cottage." Fluttershy said, "Thanks, I treat the elderly and children first, let's go." Daniel replied, and the ponies help him check the new ghouls to make sure they were healthy, they were done, "Thank you, this usually takes all day." Daniel said, "You're welcome, we'll be in Equestria, call for us if you need help." Princess Cadence replied, "I will, thanks." Daniel said, and the ponies left, the people get on with their days and nothing happens for the rest of the day. The next day comes and Tom attended the cattle with Fluttershy, Applejack, Big Macintosh, and the Young Six helping him, "Wow, who knew milking a cow could be so much fun!" Silverstream said, "Fun? This is boring." Smolder replied, "Yeah, and there's cow manure everywhere." Gallus said, "Yona find this gross, Yona not like cleaning manure." Yona replied, "A pony would never do something like this for a living." Sandbar said, "Neither would a changeling, we might clean mud, but we would never touch manure." Ocellus replied, "Instead of y'all chattin' and dilly dallyin' the cleanin', y'all should get it done now and complain afterwards, them cow chips ain't gonna clean themselves." Tom said, and they clean, "Come on, Tom, let's show ya Sweet Apple Acres and Appleloosa." Applejack said, and she and Big Macintosh took Tom to the train in Canterlot, they board it, "What do ya think of the train, Tom?" Applejack asked, "Slow." Tom replied, "Now, Tom, I know them horses are faster than this right now, but this train can go crazy speeds at times." Applejack said, "The city is trying to have tracks built so they can have locomotives travel to where we live, they're pieces of crap." Tom replied, "Shoot, you don't say, Ah'm gonna have to try to ride one of 'em horses one day." Applejack said, "Good luck with that." Tom replied, and they were silent for the rest of the ride. Tom arrived in Sweet Apple Acres and saw the place, "Why, howdy, Tom, it's good to see ya again." Granny Smith said, "Hello." Tom replied, "Howdy, Tom." Apple Bloom said, "Hello to you too." Tom replied, he saw Big Macintosh working, "Hello." Tom said, Big Macintosh waved at him with a smile on his face, "Come on, Tom, Ah'll show you the way around." Applejack said, and she did, "So, what'd ya think?" Applejack asked, "Runnin' this place is gonna be harder than runnin' the farm." Tom replied, Applejack laughed, "That's why Ah said bring everyone, all of them ghouls and those livin' in the farm can work here together." Applejack said, "Well, I don't think y'all have enough food to feed all of us." Tom replied, "That's why we're goin' to Appleloosa next, come on now." Applejack said, and they board the train again and go to Appleloosa. Tom arrives and sees the place was a bit like the town he goes to when he was younger, "This place might do." Tom said, "I'd thought ya like it, the buffaloes are over there, Ah think that tribe livin' with y'all might like 'em." Applejack replied, "You also mentioned a cottage." Tom said, "Yeah, that's back in Ponyville, let's go back." Applejack replied, and they do. Applejack takes Tom to Fluttershy's cottage, "Why, hello, Tom, I've been waiting for you, you can send your cattle here to live with me for some time." Fluttershy said, "You sure you know how to take care of 'em?" Tom asked, "Yes, I know how to take care of a lot of animals, I'm sure they'll like it here." Fluttershy replied, "Alright, make sure you milk 'em." Tom said, "Don't worry, I won't forget." Fluttershy replied, Tom looks around and was liking it, "I think this could work, I can sell the farm to Robert without losing my cattle, I'll lose the corn, though, but I think we can manage without it for some time." Tom said, "Alright then, it's settled, let's get a move on." Applejack replied, and they go back to the farm. Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, and John round up the cattle, they begin walking across Equestria, Volvox saw it was going to take too long, so he just uses his telekinesis and puts them at Fluttershy's cottage, "Alright, let's call Robert." Volvox said, "I'll do it." Dommiel replied, and he sent a telegraph to Robert. Cars came after an hour and Robert stepped out, he walked to the farm and Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom watched him, "I'm ready to sell the farm, Robert." Tom said, and he looks at it, he glared at Tom, "I'm not buying this." Robert said, "What?" Tom asked, "You know the rules, sell your cattle to the butchery and glue factory as well." Robert replied, "Why do they have to go for? You said the city just wants to build here." Tom said, "Selling your cattle is going to be used to fund the city to build here." Robert replied, Tom was angry and was ready to take out his revolver, "I'm going to give you twenty four hours to get your cattle back, if you don't, then those ghouls there will be sent to the slaughterhouse and glue factory instead." Robert said, the ghouls look at him with horror, and he gets in the car and drives away. Volvox watches him and saw the car drive to the saloon, "He and his construction workers are going to the saloon." Volvox said, "Well, I'd say we pay 'em a visit." John replied, "I agree, maybe a little brawl can set 'em right." Josey said, "Let's go then." Tom replied, "I'll stay here and keep an eye out for more intruders." Daniel said, and Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, and John walk to the town. Robert and the people from the city stay in the saloon and drink like crazy, they party and try to flirt with the female dancers, the bartender did not like them the slightest, and the dancers were disgusted. Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, and John enter the bar, Tom taps Robert on his left shoulder with his left index finger and Robert turns around, Tom punches him in the face with his right fist, the people from the city begin fighting while Django, Shane, Josey, and John joined the fight. A brawl breaks out in the saloon and the dancers go to their quarters while the bartender stood by while holding a rifle. Tom fought with Robert while Django, Shane, Josey, and John fought the people from the city, and the people from the city fought one another, it was just punching until one of the men from the city hit John on his back with a wooden chair and broke it, the men began throwing the alcohol bottles at one another, and hitting one another with the chairs, Django hit one man's face on the piano, which made a loud off-key sound, and hurt the bartender's ears. The men begin throwing tables at one another and were destroying the saloon, some men had their faces smashed on the tables, they broke after a few hits. Robert's men begin throwing the silverware at Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, and John, along with at each other, the men were thrown out of the saloon and the others went out to keep fighting, breaking the two wooden doors in the process. Volvox watches the fight and the other countries hear them, they look and saw the brawl, shocking the ponies, Twilight Sparkle teleports herself and her five friends there, "Guys, stop!" Twilight Sparkle said, she was then hit on her back with a brown wooden chair, it broke in the process, but Twilight Sparkle screamed in pain and fell to the ground, she was in too much pain to get up. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie ran to her while Rarity held everyone back with her telekinesis, Rainbow Dash tried to separate them, and Applejack had her lasso ready, "That's enough! Break it up!" Rainbow Dash said, and they do, "What in tarnation is goin' on here?" Applejack asked, "We ain't doin' jack, these people made us madder than an old wet hen." John replied, "That doesn't mean y'all can just go 'round and start a brawl, y'all makin' noise like a rooster in the mornin'." Applejack said, "We can hear you all in Equestria, you all should learn to act civilized." Rarity said, "We had our reasons, Robert changed the deal." Tom replied, shocking the six ponies, "Come with us, we'll tell you at the farm." Django said, and they go to the farm, "Is it true?" Twilight Sparkle asked while in pain, "Is what true?" Dommiel asked, "Did Robert really change the deal?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Volvox and Dommiel nod, "What happened?" Fluttershy asked, "He said since the cattle being slaughtered and made into glue was going to fund the city building here, he changed it around, he wanted the ghouls here to be slaughtered and sent to the glue factory instead." Daniel replied, shocking the six mares, "Well, if you sent your cattle, I wouldn't have to had changed it." Robert said, surprising the others, "Say, is there someone you're takin' orders from?" Josey asked, "No, I'm acting on my own, I just wish to have my money." Robert replied, "What about those guys from the city with you?" Shane asked, "Oh, they're just idiots I pay, I can care less about what happens to them, there are more people from the city that can replace them." Robert replied, the people behind Robert grumble and begin driving away with the cars, leaving Robert behind, "No! Come back here!" Robert said, "Of course, big corporations only caring about money is what drives them into the ground." Volvox said, "Yup." Dommiel replied, "Tom, you double-crossing snake! I'm going to put you in the ground!" Robert said, "Well, you ain't got nowhere to stay." Tom replied, "Just you wait, I'll show you who's boss around here." Robert said, and he left, "Why did you guys start the fight for anyway?" Rainbow Dash asked, "To show 'em they ain't welcome here, and they can't take away our way of life." John replied, "Well, yes, I understand the way of living a certain way, but why start a fight for?" Rarity asked, "Cause when things look bad, you gotta get mean, I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. Cause if you give up, then you don't win. That's just the way it is." Josey replied, "No, it's not! There are other ways!" Twilight Sparkle said angrily, "For example, lady?" John asked, "Change the deal to one all sides would like." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Sorry to say this, but the city people don't do business that way." Shane said, "What?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "He speaks the truth, the people from the city rather kill us than renegotiate." Django replied, shocking the six mares, "Let's just go home, I need time to think this through." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go home, the others get on with their days. Applejack was at Sweet Apple Acres and told her family about the fight in the saloon today, "Oh my, that sounds just like that one time in Appleloosa when Ah was a filly." Granny Smith said, "Wait, there was a bar fight in Appleloosa once, Granny?" Applejack asked, "Oh, yes, back when Ah was younger than Apple Bloom, a big fight broke out in the saloon in Appleloosa, it was bad, ponies fought outside, all of the furniture was broken, the piano was smashed, and the hospital was filled to the brim for months, some ponies also threw glass bottles at one another, a lot of ponies had to volunteer to help the doctors since there was too many patients, it months to recover." Granny Smith replied, "Were ya caught in it, Granny?" Apple Bloom asked, "Fortunately, no, Ah was nearby though." Granny Smith replied, "Ah've never heard of that." Applejack said, "That's cause Appleloosa didn't document it, they didn't wanna look back on it." Granny Smith replied, surprising her three grandchildren, "It's gettin' late, off to bed now, y'all." Granny Smith said, and they went to sleep. Tom was in town the next day and he was doing bronco riding to make money again, he saw Robert at the gun store, he saw him buying a rifle, "You sure you want that one?" the clerk asked, "Sure am, there was a saying that if man with a pistol meets a man with a rifle, the man with the pistol is dead." Robert replied, Tom began to have flashbacks, "Interesting, what else did you hear?" the clerk asked sarcastically, "Always aim for the heart." Robert replied, the clerk restrained his laughter and gave Robert the rifle, Tom headed home when he saw Robert was heading to his farm. Tom got a metal plate of knight armor from his bedroom and tied it with rope, he then got his old poncho and put it on, he headed out. Everybody saw Robert coming and he had the rifle, the people on the farm come out and watch him, cars were heard and Robert saw Richard come out, his naturally red haired and yellow skinned workers were with him, along with Erron Black, the world's natives heard them and they watch as well, "Tom, I'm here. Come out!" Robert said, and Tom did, "What is it, Robert?" Tom asked, "Draw." Robert replied, Tom did not bother being serious, so he on purposely went slow, just when Tom was about to take his gun out, Robert shot him where his heart should be, shocking the world's natives, but Tom stood back up, shocking Robert and Richard, "I heard you talk about aiming for the heart, Robert, go ahead and fire." Tom said, and Robert shot him in the heart again, Tom fell and got back up, "Aim for the heart, Robert, don't forget the heart." Tom said, and Robert shot him in the heart three times, "Remember, Robert, the heart." Tom said, and Robert shoots four bullets at Tom's heart, he shot one more as he fell, "He's got something under his poncho." Erron Black said, Richard looked at him with surprise. Tom got back up and Robert was very shocked, he tried to fire again, but he was out of bullets, Tom saw a yellow aura on his poncho and it was lifted off of him, he watches it in midair and saw Princess Celestia was the one removing it, the world's natives see the metal plate at where his heart should be, shocking the world's natives, "What the?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Hey! That's cheating!" Pinkie Pie said, Tom turned around and threw his revolver to the ground, it was empty, "Well, go on, throw your rifle to the ground." Tom said, and Robert did, "You said a man with a pistol is dead when he meets a man with a rifle, let's see if you can prove that." Tom said, and they run and begin reloading their guns, Tom reloaded faster than Robert, shocking him, he looked on at Tom with fear, Tom then shot Robert in the head and killed him, shocking the world's natives. The Mane Six and Young Six went to him, "That doesn't count. You cheated!" Silverstream said, "It wasn't a game, lady." Tom replied, "Yona thought it game." Yona said, Tom just looked at them. The Mane Six check Robert and try to wake him up, "Can you hear us, darling?" Rarity asked, "He's not going to get up, he's dead." Erron Black said, shocking the six mares, "You mean, they weren't playing?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Draws are not games, if you lose, you die." Erron Black replied, horrifying the six mares, "Well, enough of that, where are those Indians?" Richard asked, White Horse and Black Wolf led their tribe, "Are you all ready to serve me?" Richard asked, "What is in it for us?" White Horse asked, "A job." Richard replied, the men with the naturally red hair and the other men with the yellow skin shake their heads, "I'm afraid we must refuse." Black Wolf said, Richard became angry, "Fire, Erron Black." Richard said, he gave him a few dollars as well, Erron Black begins firing at the Native Americans, some of them fell while the Native Americans shot back at him, but Erron Black moved around and fired more bullets, hitting some of the horses, horrifying Fluttershy, she flew to the horses in an attempt to move them from the battlefield, Erron Black was careful not to fire at her, "Wait, something's wrong, sister." Princess Luna said, Princess Celestia looked on and realized what Princess Luna was saying, "Do you see it?" Princess Luna asked, "Yes, it looks like those things he's firing are changing trajectory in midair." Princess Celestia replied, Erron Black kept firing and Volvox shot three hellfire blasts out, one from each of his mouth, he shot them at Richard and Erron Black, they both ducked but Richard panted from exhaustion. Erron Black throws sand grenades at the Native Americans, the sand grenades explode and scare the horses, some of them fell while Fluttershy flew to them to check on them; Erron Black shot more bullets at the Native Americans, the ones that were going to hit Fluttershy went around her, White Horse orders the men to fire at Erron Black, but Erron Black disarmed them with his revolvers, "Wait, let me try something." Dommiel said, and he did a snap with his right index finger and thumb and a black shadow beam came out, it hit Erron Black's hat and knocked it off, but it did not stop him, "Nope, thought it'd make him stop and look for it." Dommiel said, "Most men in this time get mad when their hats are shot off, I guess he's not one of those people." Volvox replied, and Erron Black kept firing at the Native Americans. Twilight Sparkle ran to between Erron Black and the Native Americans, she tried to use her telekinesis to stop the bullets, but they were too fast for her, "No! Stop!" Twilight Sparkle said, and Erron Black saw she had magic, so he stopped firing, "What are you doing? Fire, Erron Black!" Richard said, "Nope, our agreement was only fire at the Indians, shooting at the others was not in it." Erron Black replied, Richard growls, "Go, you bog trotters and coolies, get those Injuns!" Richard said, the Native Americans were offended, the men working for Richard were reluctant to attack, Richard got angry, he turned around while taking out a pistol from his blazer and held it in his right hand, he shot one of the men with natural red hair and killed him, horrifying everyone except Erron Black, "Those who do not fight the Injuns will be killed by my own hand." Richard said, the men working under him become scared but obey him reluctantly, they begin throwing rocks at the Native Americans, but most of them missed. Richard checked the time after thirty minutes, "Let's go, you idiots, it's time to get back to work." Richard said, and they all left while Erron Black picked his hat back up and put it back on, "What do you think, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "Let's let nature take its course, they'll rebel against him eventually, as for Erron Black, maybe we can buy him his loyalty." Volvox replied, "I'm still surprised Robert went down so easily." Dommiel said, "It's not that surprising, he never was much of a threat anyway." Volvox replied, they hear humming and saw Tom leading the coffin maker to his farm, the coffin maker takes the dead bodies and heads back to town, the Mane Six and Young Six attend to the wounded with Black Wolf and they heal the injured people and horses, nothing happens for the rest of the day and it remains peaceful. Evening comes and Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, John, Daniel, and White Horse were in the house, discussing future plans, they hear knocking and Tom opens it, he saw the Mane Six, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Pillars of Equestria, and the rulers, "Can we come in?" Princess Celestia asked, "Sure, make yourselves at home." Tom replied, and they entered, they stood with them, "It is nice to meet you all again." Somnambula said, "Nice to see you again as well, ma'am." Shane replied, "We have been watching you guys, you all seem... out of place when compared to the others." Star Swirl the Bearded said, "That's because we are." Volvox replied, "How so?" Shining Armor asked, "Our time has passed." John replied, "There you go, the era we were born in is gone, a new era and way of living is coming." Tom said, "Well, maybe you all can adjust." Rarity said, "Afraid not, we tried, and we couldn't." Josey replied, "Yes, the time of gunslingers is over." Django said, "Well, you all can do what we did, and find new things to do based on our old talents." Flash Magnus replied, "That ain't gonna work." John said, "Why not?" Rainbow Dash asked, "All we know is shootin' and killin'." Josey replied, "You all don't know anything else?" Mage Meadowbrook asked, "Nope, killin' people is a strange type of fame." John replied, "That shouldn't be fame, period." Applejack said, "Well, it was durin' the height of our time." Tom replied, "What about you, Daniel?" Pinkie Pie asked, "My time has passed, too, I was fighting in a war in a different continent when these guys fought in their war, and when John was in Dutch's gang." Daniel replied, "I knew my time was over a long time ago." Shane said, "What about you two?" Princess Celestia asked, "The time for angels and demons ruling the Earth passed over two hundred years ago." Dommiel replied, "Yes, my power began to wane at the beginning of the Age of Enlightenment, I have ruled this world for billions of years." Volvox said, their visitors felt bad, "A new time and way of life is coming, and our way of life is considered taboo to them, we can't adjust to them." White Horse said, "Neither can I, we're all relics of a bygone era." Daniel said, "I feel you lads, I can't fit well into the new times, either." Rockhoof replied, "You speak just like my father." John said, "So you all can't adopt to the new time?" Princess Cadence asked, "Can't, farmin', shootin', killin', and survivin' is all we know." Josey replied, "Well, I also know how to rob a bank, and a train." John said, "I was a bounty hunter before I retired here, even that's gone now." Tom replied, "Don't forget riding horses, they're now being replaced with cars." White Horse said, "I've seen those things around, I can walk faster than that piece of crap, give me a horse any day." John replied, "Now, John, darling, I think they just started making them, you should give them a few years to develop and see how it will be later." Rarity said, "I'd still take a horse." John replied, "How about a mule?" Tom asked, "I've rode a mule before." John replied, "We used to have plenty of bison here to hunt, those people who first came here took them all away." White Horse said, "You guys hunted animals?" Fluttershy asked with shock, "It was our way of life, but we only hunted to eat and provide nutrition to the tribe, people are now hunting for sport." White Horse replied, "For sport?!" Applejack asked with shock, "White Horse and other tribes used to fight one another because of food, but the foreigners who came here are now hunting them to near extinction for sport, they're selling their horns, fur, and other parts of money, bison's not the only animal they're hunting." Volvox replied, Fluttershy was in tears, "I don't see any wild animals around here, though." Princess Celestia said, "That's because those settlers already hunted all of them to extinction around here." White Horse replied, shocking the ponies and Spike, "When did these people come to your land?" Spike asked, "About four hundred years ago." Dommiel replied, "Dommiel and I have tried our best to preserve them, but not even we could preserve all of them." Volvox said, "What about those guys with the red hair and yellow skin?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "They're from different continents, they have come here hoping for work and a new way of life, but as you can see, they didn't get what they wanted." Tom replied, "How so?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "As you see, they're the ones who come here, it's because of their race, they are forced to do all of the dirty and dangerous jobs, they also have to work on railroads, mine, and blow things up with dynamite, their workplace is unsafe as well." Volvox replied, "What? That isn't fair." Princess Luna said, "I've also noticed a big lack of females with you guys." Princess Cadence said, "Oh, about that, that's also a bit with our way of life, women take care of the children and homes, some women suffer from depression and go insane due to lack of communication, they entertain the men in bars with dances and sometimes help them bathe, they serve us our drinks as well." Tom replied, "Did you say help men bathe?!" Rarity asked, "Not always." Shane replied, "Don't worry, it's not our nature to harm women, and those who do are despised by our society." Django said, "Oh, well, it is nice to know you all know how to treat a lady." Rarity replied, "And if we start the fighting?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Then you better be careful, lady, some of the men will get on you if you lose." Josey replied, "Oh, trust me, I'm not gonna let that happen." Rainbow Dash said, "What about those ghouls outside, where are they from?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "They're just like the red haired and yellow skinned men working for Richard, from a different continent, but unlike them, those red haired and yellow skinned people came on their own accord, the ghouls were brought here against their wills to serve as slaves to society, the war we had ordered them to be free, but not every area obeyed." Daniel replied, "Plus, Mortimer is still out there, he's the one who started the genocide and enslavement in the first place, out of the three threats we face, he's the biggest one." Volvox said, "We will gladly help you find him, anyone is welcome to our land, regardless of what race or kind they are, so if he does come, send the ghouls to our land, and we'll protect them." Princess Celestia replied, "Thanks, but if we're lucky, when we find Mortimer, he'll already be caught or dead." Dommiel said, "*yawn* it's getting late, I think we should rest for the night." Twilight Sparkle said, "I agree, I'm startin' to fall asleep in the chair, I'm gonna go hit the sack." John replied, everyone said goodnight and the ponies and Spike went home and slept. The next day comes and Volvox saw he and the others had a good relationship with the other creatures in the world, which surprised him, because they really do not do anything, he saw the Mane Six, Young Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, rulers of Equestria, Starlight Glimmer, Sunburst, and Spike come to help them with the farm, Applejack and Fluttershy did the most work, and Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle played with the toddler ghouls. Flurry Heart was in the house and exploring it, she was having fun exploring and made baby noises, she keeps flying around and saw a locked cabinet near the ceiling, Flurry Heart undoes the lock with her telekinesis and opens the cabinet, she sees an object in the cabinet, she thought it was a toy, she used her telekinesis to take it out and plays with it. Volvox and Dommiel were scouting the area while the others worked on the farm, a gunshot is heard from inside the house and Flurry Heart screamed in pain, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence become worried and run into the house with everyone else while Volvox just shrunk himself and teleported in. Everybody runs to where they heard Flurry Heart and saw her on the floor, "Flurry Heart?" Princess Cadence asked with worry, Flurry Heart continued to cry, they look and saw a black revolver on the floor, they also see Flurry Heart clutching her right front leg, which was bleeding, the world's natives become horrified, "What happened?!" Sweetie Belle asked, Daniel moves Flurry Heart's front left leg off and everyone saw a gunshot wound, "I don't get it, I put that gun in the highest cabinet and locked it, how did she get it out?" Tom asked, "She has wings, Tom." Dommiel replied, "I know, but how did she undo the lock?" Tom asked, they all see Flurry Heart move the gun away with her telekinesis, "That's how she undid it, she has telekinesis." Volvox said, John went over and looked at the wound, "It's pretty bad, we're gonna have to get the bullet out." John said, "How?" Princess Cadence asked, John took his knife out, making the world's natives uncomfortable, "We're gonna have to cut into the wound and dig it out." John replied, "But there must be another way." Shining Armor said, "Nope, we have to dig it out, if we don't, she might get lead poisoning." Josey replied, "Tom, please, we have to find a safer way." Twilight Sparkle said, "I didn't say that." Tom replied, "Wait, then... oh." Rainbow Dash said as she realized it was Josey, "What will happen if we don't take it out?" Princess Luna asked, "Then she might get an infection, if that happens, we're going to have to cut her leg off." Dommiel replied, horrifying the ponies, "Wait, guys, I think there's a better way, I might know of a way, let's take her outside, this room is too small." Sunburst said, and they go outside. The unicorns cast a spell on Flurry Heart so she does not feel any pain, Sunburst looks for the bullet and finds it, he pulls it out with his telekinesis and got it out, Shining Armor proceeded to wrap a bandage wrapping around Flurry Heart's leg, they notice Flurry Heart could not move her leg and had to fly or use telekinesis to get around now, "Y'all are lucky, a lot of kids died from mistaking the gun for a toy, you're also lucky nothing fatal was hit." Tom said, "Why do you have something like that in the first place?" Shining Armor asked, "Well, it's to defend the home, we have rustlers and bandits every now and then." Tom replied, "But do you really need that many?" Princess Cadence asked, "I only have two, this one, and that one in the cabinet, I used to have more." Tom replied, "But what about them?" Shining Armor asked, "Well, they need to defend themselves as well." Tom replied, "Oh." Shining Armor said, Daniel walked over to Flurry Heart and checked her leg, "I think she's going to be fine." Daniel said, Princess Cadence sighed in relief, "Sergeant Lamprey." a male voice said from the southeastern path, Daniel walked over and saw several men come, they had on the same outfit as him, they had ghouls with them, Daniel realized they were his allies, "What are you guys doing here?" Daniel asked, "You remember the ghouls' magic to track their own kind if lost?" one man asked, "Yeah, what about it?" Daniel asked, "They used it and found our safe havens for them have been raided by Mortimer's men, this is the only safe spot left." the man replied, "There are more down the path, they're paying their respects to the gravestones." another man said, "Wait a minute, gravestones?" Sandbar asked, "Originally, this was the only safe place, a lot of ghouls had to walk here, but the path was very long, some of them died along the way, their gravestones are down there." Daniel replied, "Take us, please." Princess Celestia said, "This way then." Daniel replied, and he leads them. Daniel leads the Mane Six, Young Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, and rulers of Equestria, they look around and see a lot of grass, they keep walking and see wooden graves for the dead ghouls, they look at them, "What happened to them?" Ocellus asked, "Usually, they die from old age or illness." Daniel replied, "Hey look, this guy was old." Gallus said, they look and saw the ghoul's grave markings said he was seventy years old at the time of his death, "There's more up ahead, this way." Daniel replied, and he leads them, they see the ghouls paying their respects to the dead, they look and saw Daniel coming with the world's natives, they hear walking up ahead and Daniel saw two injured male ghouls, Giovi was carrying them, "Are they the only injured ones here, Giovi?" Daniel asked, Giovi nods, "Yikes, those blades of his look dangerous." Smolder said, "They are, he got them after Mortimer's men cut his claws off." Daniel replied, "How many of them have bladed claws?" Scootaloo asked, "Only him." Daniel replied, "Ah think we should keep goin'." Applejack said, "Yeah, this path is very long, let's go." Daniel replied, and they keep walking, they see a lot of gravestones and ghouls paying their respects to them, they keep going to the end but come to water, "Oh, only a small part of the path is here, the whole thing is very long." Daniel said, "This must be the Celestial Sea, the griffons' home is right there." Princess Celestia said, Daniel looked and saw it, "Well, let's go back, I have to treat the sick and wounded." Daniel said, and they do. Everyone arrived back and the world's natives help Daniel and the members from his unit tend to the sick and injured ghouls, some of them were sad, they see a few of the ghouls have died, they were elderly, so the men from Daniel's unit pick them up and bury them along the path, "Oh, you all look tired, you all should let them rest." Twilight Sparkle said, "Most of them sleep during the day." Daniel replied, "How long has this been going on?" Princess Cadence asked, "We never kept track." Daniel replied, surprising the world's natives, "Are you a bison?" one of the men from Daniel's unit asked Yona, "No, Yona yak." Yona replied, "I used to see a lot of bison back then as well, it's a shame they're all gone." Shane said, they hear horses and the Native Americans arrive to tend to the new ghouls, "What happened to the bison?" Fluttershy asked, "Hunted and killed by the newcomers." White Horse replied, "You should speak to their government about it." Princess Celestia said, "Sadly, I cannot, the governments are chiefed by the double tongues." White Horse replied, "Of course, figureheads never really do much, it's always their advisers that cause trouble." Princess Luna said, "Of course, we do not have advisers, our tribe lives together in peace." Black Wolf replied, "That's great to hear, we'll be helping Daniel now." Princess Celestia said, and they help the soldiers tend to the ghouls. Dommiel went to the city and saw it expanding, he saw the desert was going to be gone soon with the new people, he was looking for Erron Black, he had a lot of money with him as well, but he saw Richard instead, "Get back to work, you idiots!" Richard said, "But we'd like higher pay." a man with yellow skin replied, "No! Only us decent white folk get higher pay, you lowlifes work!" Richard said, "But, Mr. Morbucks, we have families to take care of!" another man with yellow skin said, "Well, they can suffer with the rest of you inferior scum!" Richard replied, the men begin complaining and leave, "Get back here! It's not leaving time yet!" Richard said, Dommiel can see something bad was going to happen. He sees Erron Black walking by and runs to him, "Wait, Erron Black." Dommiel said, and Erron Black turns to face him, "How much is Richard paying you?" Dommiel asked, "Twenty dollars an hour, not much." Erron Black replied, "How long do you work?" Dommiel asked, "Monday through Saturday, eight hours a day." Erron Black replied, Dommiel realizes Erron Black was paid nine hundred sixty dollars a week, which was to his relief, he actually had more money planned to pay Erron Black than Richard, "Well, how would you like to serve us?" Dommiel asked, "Depends on how much you're paying." Erron Black replied, "This much." Dommiel said, Erron Black looked and saw Dommiel had a pack of ten thousand dollars, "How long do I have to work to earn this much?" Erron Black asked, "Eight hours." Dommiel replied, "You've got yourself a deal, I'll be heading over." Erron Black said, and he begins walking to the farm. Everybody finishes tending to the ghouls and they all left, "Excuse me, Tom." Cheese Sandwich said, Tom turned around and looked at him, "I found this on the ground." Cheese Sandwich said as he gave back his poncho, "Thanks." Tom said, and he put it back on. The people at the farm work together and Dommiel returned, everything was peaceful until they hear walking, they saw Erron Black coming, every human aimed their guns at him, "Relax, I'm on your guys' side now." Erron Black said, confusing the Native Americans and soldiers, "I managed to use a little... uh... persuading and convincing... to have him join us." Dommiel said, "Good, now Richard is defenseless, he never was much of a threat anyway, either." Volvox replied, "Well, let's go deal with him now." Shane said, the others agreed, "Hold on, something's going on at the oil mining's headquarters." Volvox replied, and he watches. The men with the natural red hair and the men with they yellow skin were protesting at the oil mining headquarters about their work ethnicity, they had to do all of the dangerous jobs, and were paid less, along with the workplace being unsafe, some of the protesters had injuries from working, some were minor, some were fatal, they began protesting because the company wants to increase the amount of work they have to do and decrease their pay. The men keep protesting and Richard had the white men serving under him armed with rifles, "Open fire!" Richard said, and the white men begin shooting at the men with the natural red hair and yellow skin, some were killed, shocking Volvox as the men ran away, he shot hellfire beams out of his eyes at Richard and the white men who worked under him, this scared them and they ran away. The minors serving under Richard get their families and run to the farm, "Hey, White Horse, Richard's men don't serve him anymore." Volvox said, and the Native Americans ride their horses down, "Is it true?" White Horse asked, "Yes, we quit, Richard tried to increase the amount of work we have to do and decrease our pay, we protested against it, and he ordered the white men who serve under him to kill us." a man with natural red hair replied, "I see, it's a shame big businesses only care about money, they never cared about having a safe workplace for minorities." White Horse said, "We're jobless now, but this seems to be the only place left to go, there's nowhere else in the city that's hiring." a man with yellow skin replied, "Well, I'm not sure about that, the farm's not that big, but you all can treat the sickly and wounded if you have the knowledge and skills, but we don't have enough money to pay you all, nor do we have enough space for you all to stay here." Volvox said, "We're just here to ask for work, we still have our homes in the city." another man with yellow skin replied, "Then why did you all bring your families here?" Dommiel asked, "Safety reasons, we fear Richard will have them attacked next." another man with natural red hair replied, "Speaking of Richard, he's already here." Django said, the others turn around and see the cars coming, Richard and the white men who served under him arrived, they had rifles with them, everybody who had a gun at the farm aimed it at them, "What are you bog trotters and coolies doing?" Richard asked, "We quit." the man with the natural red hair replied, "Erron Black, gun them down." Richard said, there was no response, "Erron Black?" Richard asked, he walked to him, "What the? What are you doing with them?!" Richard asked with shock, "Something wrong, Richard?" Erron Black asked, "You were supposed to be serving me!" Richard replied, "They offered more money." Erron Black said, Richard was bewildered, "Fine! Kill him as well, fire!" Richard said, and the white men serving under him opened fire. The Native Americans and Erron Black fire back while the naturally red haired and yellow skinned men take cover, Daniel and the other soldiers from his unit fire at them as well. Flurry Heart balls up into a fetal position while scared, the ponies see what they were doing and become shocked, they use their telekinesis to take the guns away, "What the?! Fire at them as well!" Richard said, and the humans serving under him fire at the unicorns, a few got shot, they scream in pain. The ghouls use their magic to make Richard's shadow and the shadows of those serving him attack them, they destroy the guns as well, Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, John, and Erron Black fire at the white men and kill them, leaving only Richard, "What?! Impossible!" Richard said, "Something wrong, Richard?" Django asked, "How are you all able to shoot so fast and so accurately?" Richard asked, "Let's just say I got my eye back." John replied, Richard growls and takes out his pistol and aims it at them, Tom shoots his right hand and he drops the pistol, he exclaims in pain and falls, Tom walked to him, "I said this once to a man I knew, there are two types of people in this world, those with loaded guns, and those who dig, you dig." Tom said, "I... I don't understand what you're saying." Richard replied, "What he means is there are those who are armed, and those who dig their own graves." Josey said, Richard began to whimper, "You better start digging, my friend." Tom said, Richard did, he pulled the grass out and began digging with his hands, the Mane Six and other ponies could not bear to watch what they were doing to Richard, he kept digging for a short amount of time, "That's enough." Volvox said, and Richard stopped, he picked up his pistol and tried to fire at them, but Erron Black shoots it out of his hand, shocking him, "He's all yours." Erron Black said to the Native Americans, the men with the natural red hair, and the men with the yellow skin, but only the Native Americans had guns, so they open fire and shoot Richard to death. Volvox uses his powers to open the ground and bury Richard and he closed the ground, the ponies walk over to them in the meantime, "No, Tom, there isn't." Princess Celestia said, even though she was calm, everyone could tell she was angry, "Isn't what?" Tom asked, "There's a lot more than just two types of people in this world." Princess Celestia replied, "Those are the only two in our world." Tom said, "Don't forget there are three types of suns in Kansas." Josey replied, the ponies look at them with disapproval. Erron Black looks at Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, "You two came to our world long ago." Erron Black said, shocking the two, they stammer, "How do you know that?" Princess Luna asked, "I'm older than I look." Erron Black replied, "But that was over two hundred years ago." Princess Luna said, shocking the ponies, "Anyway, we'd like for you all to change your ways, I understand a new era is coming, but your ways of life are still too violent." Princess Celestia said, "Well, it's a violent world out there, you should've been around when people were looking for gold." Tom replied, the other humans agree, "Y'all remind me of mah younger days in Appleloosa, but them memories ain't pleasant." Granny Smith said, "The world ain't a pleasant place, lady." John replied, "You all really should focus more on building a safer area." King Thorax said as he came over, "This really is the safest area right now." Volvox replied, surprising everycreature, "Come on, y'all, I think we can find jobs for y'all in Equestria." Applejack said, and the naturally red haired and yellow skinned men followed them, they look for jobs and most of them found jobs in Manehattan and Baltimare, some worked in Appleloosa, some worked in Ponyville, and some worked in Canterlot, some of them went to the Crystal Empire every once in a while to check on Flurry Heart's leg. Two days pass and Granny Smith was teaching Big Macintosh, Applejack, and Apple Bloom how to use a revolver, "There, keep yer back straight, Ah didn't wanna do this, but seein' as their town is like ol' Appleloosa, y'all gotta learn to defend yerselves, cause friendship ain't gonna solve nothin' in their town." Granny Smith said, the gunshots were very loud, it scared everypony, especially the foals, it was Apple Bloom's turn to shoot, "Now, Apple Bloom, just relax and fire, just to hit the target the best ya can." Granny Smith said, Apple Bloom was scared and fired slowly, the gunshot scared her and made her jump, she blinked her eyes as well, "Now, now, Apple Bloom, don't blink when ya fire, and don't jump, either, that can cause a shot to come out by random, and ya don't want that." Granny Smith said, Big Macintosh, Applejack, and Apple Bloom were very uncomfortable with firing the gun, "Do we have to do this, Granny?" Apple Bloom asked, "If ya wanna come out alive, yes." Granny Smith replied, and the three fire guns slowly, "Ya gettin' the hang of it, Big Mac?" Applejack asked, "Eenope." Big Macintosh replied, "No, faster, like this." Granny Smith said, and she fires six shots in one second, she hit all of the targets in the center as well, shocking her three grandchildren, Granny Smith felt pain in her back, "Oh, your granny's ain't as good as she used to be." Granny Smith said, and she sat, the three kept firing the guns while Granny Smith instructed them. Night comes and Princess Luna enters the dream realm, "Okay, let's see what we have here." Princess Luna said, she notices a lot of the foals were having nightmares, she heard the gunshots, she realized all of the gunfights and bullets were scaring the foals, she zaps them away and continues her duties, "Wait, what's this?" Princess Luna asked with concern, she noticed Flurry Heart was having a nightmare about the guns, she also had a nightmare about the bullet in her leg being a monster that was eating her leg away from the inside, Flurry Heart screamed in terror. Princess Luna was about to zap it away, but the nightmare disappeared, she hears crying and realizes Flurry Heart woke up in real life, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence wake up and go to her to comfort her. Princess Luna was worried about Flurry Heart, but continued with her duties, she had to plug her own ears as she heard gunshot after gunshot, it scared the foals greatly, but she zapped them away and comforted the ones who were the most scared for the rest of the night. Three days pass with nothing eventful happening, Volvox looks forward and saw the desert was being modernized by the city people, they notice a lot of the old places were gone, and cars were driven around instead of horses, mules, or camels, which made him a little sad. Cawing was heard in the sky and everybody saw the crows coming to eat the corn, John gave Tom his rifle and Tom fired into the sky to scare the crows, it scared the world's natives as well, "Wait, no." Fluttershy said, she flew to them, "What are you doing?" Fluttershy asked, "Them crows like to eat our crop, I'm keepin' them away." Tom replied, "I'll handle this." Fluttershy said, and she flew up, she spoke to the crows kindly and they flew to her cottage, "Well, I'll be." Tom said, and they continue with their days. Trotting was heard and they see four people come, three men and a woman, they were all on camels, "What can we do for you guys?" Volvox asked, "We ain't got nowhere to go, city took down our town." one man replied, "What's it like?" Dommiel asked, "City's rule is different from ours, we can't have us a hog-killin' time no more." the woman replied, "So, what are y'all doin' here?" John asked, "We wanted to see if there was anymore places left." the second man replied, "How many have you found?" Django asked, "Just a few, there ain't much settlements for us no more." the third man replied, "Well, if you want, y'all can stay here." Tom said, "No, it's fine, we just lookin' around." the first man replied, "Oh." Tom said, "Well, y'all have yourselves a good day." the woman said, and their camels walk away, nothing happens for the rest of the day. Everybody rested during the evening and knocking was heard at the door, Tom went over and opened it, he saw Granny Smith, Big Macintosh, Applejack, and Apple Bloom, "Howdy, we couldn't help but notice y'all havin' crop problems." Granny Smith said, "Yeah, them crows like to eat the corn." Tom replied, "Well, we brought some corn for ya to plant, we were wonderin' if ya needed help." Apple Bloom said, "Maybe tomorrow." Tom replied, "Alright, Ah also noticed the city expandin'." Applejack said, "Yeah, it's gonna spread here one day." Tom replied, "Y'all won't have to run away from it, will ya?" Granny Smith asked, "Depends if we can adapt to it, if not, we'll run away." Tom replied, "Y'all won't have to put the licks in if that happens, will ya?" Applejack asked, "It's possible we might." Tom replied, "Well, it was nice meetin' ya, we'll help y'all with the corn tomorrow." Granny Smith said, "Alright, thanks." Tom replied, and the Apple family left, Tom went back into his home and everybody rested for the day. The next day comes and Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, John, and the Apple family plant the corn together, "No, put it over there, it'll look better, some over there, some here..." Twilight Sparkle said, "Girl sounds like some kind of preacher for organizin'." John said, "Yeah, Twilight always wants things neat and organized, it's a bit of a habit of hers." Applejack replied, Erron Black looks around and Rainbow Dash flew in front of him, "Well?" Rainbow Dash asked, "What?" Erron Black asked, "Why did you start serving these guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, "They offered more money." Erron Black replied, "More money?! Those guys weren't your friends?!" Rainbow Dash asked with shock, "Nope, I'm not really much of a joiner." Erron Black replied, "You still owed them!" Rainbow Dash said angrily, "Well, that's their problem." Erron Black said, Rainbow Dash growled at Erron Black, "Something wrong, lady?" Erron Black asked, "Yes!" Rainbow Dash replied angrily, "Well, I don't have a problem with what I do, if you do, then that's your problem." Erron Black said, Rainbow Dash growled and just flew away in anger, everybody can see that Rainbow Dash and Erron Black were not going to get along. Everybody keeps working on the farm with Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, the Young Six, and other kids playing with the child ghouls, Daniel and the soldiers from his unit nursed the sick back to health. The Cutie Mark Crusaders went to go check on Flurry Heart, who was sitting on the ground, "You okay, Flurry Heart?" Sweetie Belle asked, Flurry Heart nodded, the three fillies check her leg and saw she looked fine, they then went back to play with the other kids while the adults worked on the farm. Josey was walking around and working on the farm, he saw Ocellus laying on the ground with her eyes closed, he leans towards her and spits liquefied chewing tobacco on her back, which causes her to exclaim with shock and open her eyes, "Hey!" Ocellus said, she looks around and saw Josey walking to the cornfield to plow it. Everybody left in the afternoon and the ghouls had enough magic to try to transfer their area to a different place or bring another area to them, "Okay, it's ready, let's see if we can find the ghouls' home." Volvox said, "Alright, stand by, everyone." a soldier from Daniel's unit said, and Volvox, Dommiel, Giovi, and the ghouls use their magic to find the place, they make a new area appear to the southeast, the ground was completely black, and there was a few areas to make fires, "We found it. We found the ghouls' territory." Dommiel said, "Come on, let's go." Daniel said, and they run. The soldiers stop running and look at the place with shock, they see the homes were destroyed, dead ghouls hung and crucified, the faunas were dead as well, they also see ghouls that were tortured to death, the ghouls still alive look on and tears build up, "No, we were too late." a soldier said, Daniel and the soldiers just look on with sorrow. The ponies see it and run and fly to look for them, "Are there any survivors?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Hello? Is anyone here?" Applejack asked, the ponies look around for any survivors, they hear groaning and saw it was coming from under a rock, Twilight Sparkle uses her telekinesis to move it and they saw a male ghoul who was anorexic with cuts all over his body, Princess Celestia moves the other rocks and found more ghoul survivors, they all had some form of injury from torture on them, "Wait, we made it after all." a male soldier said, "Let's get them." another soldier replied, and they run to the surviving ghouls, they pick them up and carry them to the farm, the humans go over to treat them. The ponies look for more ghouls and did not find any at the moment, "What happened here?" Rainbow Dash asked, a male ghoul groans and they see one crawl forward, he went to a body of water and used his magic on it. The water floats up and a picture appeared, they saw Daniel and his unit marching to their land, "Keep going, we're supposed to pass through this land and to another post." a male soldier on a black horse said, they all had on the same outfit as Daniel, "That must be Mortimer." Princess Celestia said, the picture changes and they see Daniel marching with more men from his unit, "What are you doing, Lamprey?" the soldier on horseback asked, "Just watching the natives, colonel." Daniel replied, the ponies realize Princess Celestia was right, "You enjoy watching these savages?" Mortimer asked, "Savages? I think that's a bit mean, Mortimer." another male soldier replied, "Look at these idiots, primitives like them shouldn't exist." Mortimer said, some of the soldiers laughed while Daniel and others glared at him, the picture changes to Mortimer ordering his unit to go to the ghouls, they lived in tribes, "Open fire!" Mortimer said, and some of the soldiers begin killing them, shocking the ponies, changelings, yaks, and hippogriffs, "What? What are you guys doing?!" a male soldier asked, "Open fire, soldier!" Mortimer said, and he was shocked by Mortimer's orders, so was Daniel and other soldiers, the ones who obeyed Mortimer shot and killed the ghouls, the picture changes to a ghoul family, a male ghoul, a female ghoul, and their son being tied down with rope, Mortimer was on the black horse and gave Daniel a hatchet, "Decapitate them." Mortimer said, "What?" Daniel asked, "You got your orders, decapitate them." Mortimer said, "But, sir, we were not ordered to slaughter them!" Daniel replied, "Why do you think I led you all here?" Mortimer asked, "What?" Daniel asked, "I have grown tired watching these disgusting savages roam our world, I led you all here to kill them, now decapitate them." Mortimer replied, Daniel glares at him and cuts the rope that was restraining them, "Seize him!" Mortimer said as he pointed his right index finger to him, Daniel was knocked down and he grunted several times, "You will die for your insolence." Mortimer said, but the picture changed to the soldiers being divided, some served Mortimer and destroyed the ghouls' homeland, while others went to them to help them protect their home, they were given black tattoos on their right hands to let the ghouls know they were with them, the picture changes to various pictures, the ponies see the land on fire, they hear ghouls screaming in fear, they see Mortimer having the ghouls tortured by being whipped, severing their claws with blades, and ghoul children forced to hold their parents on their shoulders while the parents had nooses around their necks, the ponies were horrified by the actions of Mortimer and his soldiers. The water went down while the ponies looked on with great horror, "I don't know if you ghouls know this, but since we disobeyed Mortimer, we are now traitors to our country, we can't go home." Daniel said, the ghouls looked at the soldiers with sympathy, Princess Celestia walked to them, "It's okay, you all did the right thing, and you all are allowed in my country." Princess Celestia said, "We were just supposed to pass through a land with no people, we were not ordered to slaughter them." a soldier said, "Well, then Mortimer will be held responsible, he will be caught, and brought to justice, I'll have my country open for them to come." Princess Celestia replied, and she and the ponies leave. The day goes on with everybody mining their own businesses, Daniel and the soldiers hear whipping and dragging noises, they run to the ghouls' home to go check it out, they see a male ghoul that was tied with rope being whipped and dragged along by four soldiers, they were laughing as they hurt him, the four soldiers look and see Daniel and the other soldiers who defected, they were about to take their pistols out, but Daniel and the other soldiers already did, they fire at them and kill them, they run to the ghoul and undo his binds. The soldiers and ghoul go back to the farm and Fluttershy flies to them to nurse the ghoul back to health with them, the world's natives realize the ghouls were still being held captive and needed rescue, so they all watched them in case more ghouls appeared. The next day comes and everybody watched the continent for any ghouls we were enslaved, "When didst tis start?" Igneous Rock Pie asked, "I actually don't remember." Daniel replied, "Thou did not write down the date?" Cloudy Quartz asked, "No, we didn't document anything at the time when the war in the continent was at its peak." Daniel replied, "So, how did you guys keep track of the time?" Limestone Pie asked, "We watched the sky." Daniel replied, "You mean by watching the sun and moon, right?" Maud Pie asked, "Actually, it's always night on their country, the ghouls don't like the sun too much." Daniel replied, "Still, they look so sad here." Pinkie Pie said, "Hmm-mm." Marble Pie said, "It's because their home is destroyed." Daniel replied, "I remember when my farm got destroyed." Limestone Pie said, "Yeah, that's going to happen to this farm one day, too." Daniel replied, "Well, you guys should preserve it, for old memories." Pinkie Pie said, "I'll have to talk to Volvox about that." Daniel replied, and he went over to go help an injured female ghoul. Night time comes and the naturally red haired and yellow skinned humans went to the farm, they all began playing music and singing, which the others did not mind, Pinkie Pie heard them and went over to join, which the humans allowed, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Silverstream joined as well, they all had fun, everybody danced and sang until it was late at night, they went home and slept afterwards. Morning arrives and Volvox looks at the ghouls' home continent in hopes of finding Mortimer, he heard arguing and saw Rainbow Dash and Erron Black were having a conversation about Erron Black's motives, Rainbow Dash was getting angry while Erron Black remained calm and composed, Volvox sighed as he looked for Mortimer, he saw Daniel and the other soldiers searching the continent for any ghouls that were still alive, they dig and move the destroyed objects around to find any ghouls, they found a few, they pick them up and carry them back to the farm, the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs that were present nurse them back to health, some of them were taking care of the cattle, Fluttershy tended to the horses and a black mule, and the Apple family and Pie family tended to the crops. Daniel and the other soldiers walk around and hear grunting, they look and saw four adult male ghouls with nooses around their necks, they look and saw toddler ghouls had to hold up the adult ghouls on their shoulders, they were struggling. Daniel and his soldiers were about to shoot the nooses, but guns cocking were heard behind them, they turn around and saw soldiers wearing the same uniform as them behind them, "Drop the guns, traitors." one of Mortimer's soldiers said, and they pretend to, but it fooled Mortimer's soldiers, Daniel and the others quickly hold up their pistols and shoot and kill them. The people on the farm hear the shoot and the ones who can fly go up to check, they see Mortimer's soldiers on the ground and some gasp when they see the children ghouls being forced to hold up the adults while they had nooses around their necks, Volvox uses his telekinesis to sever the ropes and let them fall, some of the soldiers check them and see they can still walk, so they led them back to the farm, the world's natives go to check on them. Daniel and the other soldiers check the ghouls' home to look for anymore survivors, they hear flying and saw Twilight Sparkle coming, she uses her magic to look for anymore ghouls, she did not find any, "Do you guys see anymore?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the soldiers look around and do not, "Nope, we see no one." Daniel replied, "Well, you guys should come back, it's almost dark." Twilight Sparkle said, "Okay, we'll be coming back shortly." a soldier replied, and she flew back, "Well, let's go, men." another soldier said, and they were about to head back until they heard crying to the north. The soldiers look and saw a male ghoul crawling forward, it was a child, the soldiers see he had chains pierced above his upper lip and lower lip so he could not speak, his eyes were scratched out, and his arms and legs were severed, he had chains pierced through his four stumps, and on the other side of the chains were gray heavy blocks. Daniel and the other soldiers run to him and pick him up, "Can you hear us?" Daniel asked, the ghoul nodded, "We're with the guys who sided with your kind, let's get you to safety." Daniel said, and they carry him to the camp. Everybody was getting ready to rest for the day until they saw Daniel and the other soldiers come back, they see the male ghoul with them and some exclaim in horror, the soldiers put him down while the Mane Six, Young Six, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, King Thorax run to him, the ghoul cries while the ones looking at him were too horrified to say anything, "Who could've done this?!" Rarity asked, "This one was tortured by Mortimer himself, I'm sorry to say this, but there are some ghouls who have received worse fates than this." a soldier replied, the world's natives who looked at him began to cry as they looked at his injuries, the other ghouls go to him and use their magic to heal him the best they could, Princess Celestia also used her magic to heal him while Princess Luna did her best to comfort him, the world's natives look at the ghoul with shock and horror, it made them decide to help Daniel and the soldiers defend the ghouls. Everybody woke up early in the morning and Dommiel flew around to look for Mortimer, the dragons, griffons, changelings, and hippogriffs flew in the sky to look for Mortimer and his soldiers as well, "Search every area, don't rest until you do." Grampa Gruff said, "Keep looking, find any injured ghouls as well." Princess Ember said, "Ember, I found one." Smolder said, and Princess Ember sees a female ghoul bonded to a wooden board, she had knives in her abdomen, Princess Skystar flew down to help Smolder undo the bonds, "Hey, it's okay, we're here to help." Princess Skystar said to calm the ghoul down, the two free her and Princess Skystar hugged her and flew into the sky, "Take her to the doctors." Queen Novo said, and Princess Skystar took the female ghoul to the hippogriff medics. Daniel and his soldiers marched back to the continent to look for more ghoul survivors, they found many dead ones, they were also brought back to the farm so the surviving ghouls can pay their respects to them and give them proper burial rituals. Daniel and the soldiers keep marching and saw a bunch of ghouls marching in unison, they were chained, the world's natives also see them and go to them, but cannon fire was shot at them, they look and saw it, they saw more ghouls being chained and abused, Mortimer's soldiers took out their pistols and began firing at them, the griffons and hippogriffs snatched their pistols away while Princess Ember shot out her fire breath and burned them. Mortimer's soldiers scream while the other creatures ran to them and arrested them, Prince Rutherford leads the yaks to the ghouls and charge forward to break the chains, "Get on yak's back." Prince Rutherford said, and the ghouls do, the yaks carry them back and there were so many ghouls, the creatures had to call for aid, Twilight Sparkle wrote in her journal to call Sunset Shimmer for help. The creatures hear running and they saw Sunset Shimmer come, "I'm here, where are they?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Over here, Sunset." Twilight Sparkle replied, she runs and sees the injured ghouls, she helps nurse them back to health. The buffaloes run over and go to help the ghouls, they also went into the ghouls' home to rescue anymore held captive. Everycreature hears running and they saw Autumn Blaze arrive, "Is everyone alright?" Autumn Blaze asked, "Over here, Autumn Blaze." Applejack replied, and she saw the sick and injured ghouls, she runs to them to help nurse them back to health. Daniel and the soldiers continue walking around and look for more ghouls, they see several on the ground, they go to them and see they were dead, guns were cocked around them, they stood up and saw Mortimer's soldiers, all on horseback, "Well, well." Mortimer said as he rode his black horse to them, "You all returned." Mortimer said, "We're not alone this time, colonel." Daniel replied, "Really? You and what army? A bunch of uneducated and primitive savages?" Mortimer asked, his soldiers laugh, Daniel and the soldiers who were fighting with him were angry, "Well, you all are here, and you're outnumbered, kill them." Mortimer said, and they open fire, Daniel and his soldiers take out their pistols and fire back in an attempt to take down as many as they could. Telekinesis and shadow powers appear and Mortimer's soldiers were knocked down, "What the?" Mortimer asked, they saw Dommiel, Giovi, and the ghouls coming to their aid, the flying creatures hear them and fly to help, they restrain Mortimer's soldiers and tie them up to arrest them, they see Mortimer and the other soldiers have escaped. Daniel and the soldiers pick up the dead ghouls and carry them back to the farm. Volvox looks forward and saw Dommiel coming back, he noticed Mortimer was watching Daniel and the soldiers with a telescope, he did not use his powers since it will only draw unwanted attention. The ghouls were buried on the southeastern path and respects were paid, everybody finished for the day and went home to sleep. Morning comes and Volvox and Dommiel look for Mortimer while Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, and John tended the farm, Erron Black was standing and watching for any visitors, White Horse and Black Wolf were doing customs with their tribe, Giovi was with the ghouls, and Daniel and the soldiers were back at the ghouls' home to look for anymore survivors, "I don't understand, how did Mortimer get those horses?" a soldier asked, "Well, the towns and cities are right there, so he probably bought them, and there's the wilderness to the north, how he got them is anyone's guess." Daniel replied, and they keep searching. Gunshots were being heard and the soldiers run to where they heard it, taking out their pistols as well, they run and saw several ghouls were being restrained to the ground and Mortimer was executing them with shots to their heads, his soldiers open fire at Daniel and the others. Mortimer turns around and begins shooting at them immediately, a gunfight ensures that catches everybody's attention, Volvox uses telekinesis on Mortimer's soldiers to take away their pistols, but they take derringers out of their sleeves' and fire at him, but the bullets bounce off of him, he uses his telekinesis to take them away. The world's natives go over to arrest them but Mortimer's soldiers fight back and begin punching them, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Princess Ember, and Smolder defend themselves physically, all of the griffons and dragons joined in and fought Mortimer's soldiers, they keep fighting until the unicorns arrive and separate them with telekinesis, Mortimer's soldiers try to break out but they were tied with rope and taken to Equestria's dungeon. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, hippogriffs, buffaloes, and kirins look at the ghouls who were held down, their arms and legs were broken, "What happened to them?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Mortimer and his men passed the time by playing games that involved torturing and killing them." Daniel replied, "Who would do such a thing?" Ocellus asked, "You guys never had anything like this?" a soldier asked, "No, never." Sandbar replied, "Well, listen to us, Mortimer's men aren't like the others, these guys are fiercely loyal to him, they'd rather die than surrender." Daniel said, "Have you tried offering friendship?" Princess Celestia asked, "Mortimer isn't the type to let grudges go, and he won't befriend any of you for siding with the ghouls, no matter what." another soldier replied, "Then he shall be taken down with force, along with the others." Princess Luna said, the world's natives agreed, "Let's get them to the farm." Daniel said, and they carry the ghouls, they nurse them back to health the best they could. Sunset Shimmer and Autumn Blaze look at the place and thought it looked nice, Granny Smith explained how things work in their area, it was just like old Appleloosa, "Yeah, the area I live in used to be like that a long time ago, too." Sunset Shimmer said, "Did I hear right, you're from another world?" Autumn Blaze asked, "Well, I'm actually from here, but I reside in another world." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Wow, that is so awesome, my name's Autumn Blaze, I'm a kirin, but turn into a nirik when I'm angry, we had to suppress our emotions when an argument broke out between two of our kind and..." and Autumn Blaze went on and on, Sunset Shimmer got tired eventually, "Alright!" Sunset Shimmer said while losing her temper a bit, Autumn Blaze became silent, "Sorry, I lost a temper a bit there." Sunset Shimmer said, and Autumn Blaze begins to talk about the time Fluttershy and Applejack arrived to her village. Dommiel looks for Mortimer and notices he was rallying up the cavalry, he realizes Mortimer used his telescope to watch the farm, "Volvox, I think Mortimer is getting ready to launch an assault on us." Dommiel said, "I'm watching too, that seems to be the case." Volvox replied, "Y'all wanna bend an elbow one last time?" Tom asked, the others agreed, "No, I'll pass, my drinking days are over." Erron Black said, and they do, they all sleep for the night. Tom woke up early and headed to town to buy bullets, he looked at the bar and saw the bartender was still selling drinks, and the female dancers were still entertaining whoever came, he went back to the farm. Volvox contacted the naturally red haired and yellow skinned men and they came to the farm, some of them were armed, the Native Americans had their rifles and horses ready, Tom came back and he, Django, Shane, Josey, and John loaded their weapons, so did Daniel and the soldiers, Erron Black stood ready, Giovi and the ghouls were ready to fight as well, so was Dommiel, Volvox tried to contact the men who originally worked for Robert but discovered they were too busy, he contacted those who rode in the desert and they came over on horseback and camels, everybody was ready, "Okay, let's get some rest while we can." Daniel said, and they do. An hour passes and Volvox and Dommiel watched the ghouls' continent, they see Mortimer leading his cavalry from behind, "Everyone, get ready, here they come!" Dommiel said, and they see Mortimer's cavalry ride from the ghouls' continent to the farm. Mortimer's soldiers ride down and open fire, Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, John, Erron Black, White Horse, Daniel, the men who originally worked for Richard, the male Native Americans, the riders from the desert, and the soldiers open fire as well. The world's natives hear the gunshots and look, they see Mortimer's soldiers riding their horses to the farm, they watch with shock while Flurry Heart balled up in fear and covered her eyes and ears, the gunshot wound to her leg still made her scared of guns. The ghouls use necromancy to revive the dead ghouls to help them fight, they mind controlled the crows to attack Mortimer's soldiers, it knocked some of them off of their horses, but they got back up and fired at the crows, but they kept attacking. The Native Americans got their bows and arrows out when they ran out of bullets and fired at Mortimer's soldiers. Volvox shot black beams out of the eyes of his skeletal head, red beams out of the eyes of his shadow head, and yellow beams out of the eyes of his parasitic head, it cut whoever got touched by it, and Dommiel used his magic to make Mortimer's soldiers attacked by their own shadows, Giovi slashed Mortimer's soldiers with the blades that replaced the claws for his hands, the ghouls used telekinesis and used their magic to make light red energy waves come out of their claws that cut whatever they hit as they flew forward. Everybody hears noises coming and they see the ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, hippogriffs, buffaloes, and kirins arriving to help them, the unicorns, changelings, and kirins use their horns to zap magic at them to restrain Mortimer's soldiers, the dragons breathe fire to scare the horses, the griffons and hippogriffs fly and pick up the humans on the horses, and the yaks and buffaloes charge at them together. Erron Black fires his revolvers and his bullets change trajectory in midair, he hit and killed twelve of Mortimer's soldiers, he also threw sand grenades and laid caltrops on the ground and the horses fall when they step on them, much to Fluttershy's horror, she flies to them and tries to remove them, the unicorns moved the horses back with their telekinesis. More of Mortimer's cavalry ride down and everyone sees they were outnumbered, "There's too many of 'em!" Applejack said, "I don't think we have enough bullets." Shane said, "Hold on, I'll be back." Django replied, and he ran back. Josey ran out of bullets for his two Colt Walkers, so he took out his Colt Army 1860 and Colt 1849 Pocket, he fires at Mortimer's men and hits them accurately, Tom fired and reloaded the best he could to take down Mortimer's men, so did Daniel and the soldiers, the explorers who came to help, and the men who served under Richard. Django came back and had his coffin with him and opens it, he took out a machine gun and began firing at Mortimer's men and the horses, horrifying the world's natives, "Django, stop!" Twilight Sparkle said, but he kept shooting, most were too shocked to do anything as Django fired at the men and horses, "Django, no!" Rainbow Dash said as she tried to take him away from the machine gun, he continued firing and killed some of Mortimer's men, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna stood and looked on with great shock. Django stopped and he saw most of the men were dead and the horses were injured, the Mane Six look at Django with horrified faces. More of Mortimer's men come and Mortimer himself rode with them, John managed to shoot them with deadly accuracy, no one understood how or why his aim was so good. Granny Smith fired a gun as well, while Cheese Sandwich used his giant party cannon, Pinkie Pie also used her party cannon to scare the humans. An explosion appeared right in front of Pinkie Pie and she screamed, she looked and saw Mortimer's men were using a real cannon, they fire another round and it almost hits them, the explosion in front of them scared them, another round was shot and Shining Armor made a shield appear around them to block the cannon fire, it blocked it, but almost destroyed the shield in one shot. Princess Cadence put up a shield as well since the cannon fire was very powerful, the cannon was shot again after three to four minutes and it destroyed Shining Armor's shield, the noise of the cannon scared the kids. The unicorns and changelings try to carry the cannon with telekinesis but it was very heavy, they grunt and struggle as they try to raise it, so Princess Celestia used her telekinesis, it was heavy, but not as heavy as the sun, she picks it up and Mortimer's men fire at the shield, their bullets did not pierce through. Mortimer's soldiers run out of bullets and the shield was taken down, everycreature runs to them to arrest them, but they fight back and hurt some of the creatures, Mortimer fights back and was putting up a better fight than his own soldiers, he did grapples and throws while his soldiers just threw punches, surprising the world's natives, "I'm the commander for a reason." Mortimer said as he fought back and resisted everycreature who tried to arrest him. Twilight Sparkle casts telekinesis on him to restrain him, "Colonel Mortimer, you are under arrest for your treatment of ghouls, and not obeying your superiors." Princess Celestia said, "You can't arrest me for doing things that are out of your country." Mortimer said, "For being a wanted criminal in another country, I can, and I will." Princess Celestia replied, "What about the rest of you guys?" Mortimer asked, he heard blades ting and saw the dragons with swords, Mortimer realized the dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, hippogriffs, buffaloes, and kirins were planning to arrest him and his men as well, "Take them away." Princess Celestia said, and Mortimer and his remaining soldiers who were still alive were taken away by the ponies. Everybody cleans up the dead bodies while Fluttershy grieved over the dead horses, angry at Django for what he did, the dead Native Americans were paid their respects by their tribe, so were the dead ghouls, and the men who used to work for Richard had casualties as well, while those who explored the desert had no casualties, Volvox and Dommiel gave their bodies to their families in the city. Tom, Django, Shane, Josey, John, and Erron Black survived the gunfight, but Shane got shot in the chest, "That don't look good on ya." John said, "I'll be fine." Shane replied, "Still a shame our time has passed." Josey said, "Yeah, even bounty hunter is a job that's dyin' out." Tom replied, "The city is gonna consume the west, our way of life will be gone soon." Django replied, "Not to mention we might have to take orders from women in the future." Erron Black said, the others agreed, "Well, it's late, and it's a been long day, let's rest." Daniel said, and they sleep. Daniel and his soldiers took turns sleeping and guarding, "Everyone, I bring bad news!" Twilight Sparkle said, she flew to the soldiers and ghouls, "Mortimer's soldiers took their own lives in the dungeon, they poisoned themselves, they didn't want to face justice, and Mortimer himself escaped." Twilight Sparkle said, "Okay, we'll let you know if we find him." a soldier replied, "Okay, thank you." Twilight Sparkle said, and she flew away. Daniel stood up and looked at the farm, he and the others hear a gun cock and Daniel quickly takes out his pistol and turns around, he and someone in the shadows fire at the same time, the person falls while Daniel grunts as he got shot in the left bicep. The world's natives hear the gunshots and look, the Mane Six run to them, "What happened?" Applejack asked, "Someone tried to kill me from the shadows, I shot back in self defense." Daniel replied, "Oh my, that doesn't look good, let me see." Fluttershy said as she looked at his left arm and treated it with Rarity, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash find the person Daniel shot, they lift him up to see who it was in the moonlight, the moon shines on the person and everyone saw it was Mortimer, and Daniel shot him in the heart, "Oops, like I said, I couldn't see him." Daniel said, "It's alright, it's not your fault." Rainbow Dash replied, "Well, let's report this to Princess Celestia." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all go back and the night goes on as normal. The next day comes and Applejack and the Young Six milk the cows on the farm, while Fluttershy checked them to make sure they were alright, the bartender came to give them drinks and the women who worked for him danced and entertained them, so did Pinkie Pie, the ponies from Appleloosa greeted them and they had a great relationship with them. Tom rides his black mule to town and plays poker for about twenty minutes, he lost that round and lost a little money, he headed back and it was afternoon, he got off of his mule. Tom heard two guns click behind him, "That's far enough, Tom." Erron Black said, Tom turned around and saw Erron Black aiming his revolvers at him, "What is the meaning of this?" Tom asked, "I know who you are, you're wanted for the murder of several people." Erron Black replied, "Which ones?" Tom asked, "Three bounty hunters, Angel Eyes, four members of the Baxter family, Miguel Rojo, Ramon Rojo, along with members of their gang, the Morton Brothers, Baby Cavanagh, three of his friends, and several members of El Indio's gang." Erron Black replied, "You forget the fact I fought for the north during the war, I'm a hero." Tom said, "You've been on both sides during the war, you were on the south's side first, and switched to the north's side when you blew up that bridge." Erron Black replied, the ponies were shocked by what they heard about Tom, "What else am I wanted for?" Tom asked, "Grave robbing, one hundred thousand dollars to be exact." Erron Black replied, "I'm surprised you found me." Tom said, "Did you think you would go unnoticed, even though you change your name wherever you go?" Erron Black asked, Tom was a little speechless, "You now call yourself Tom, this is the fourth alias you used, all that's known about you is you're from Illinois." Erron Black said, "Your point?" Tom asked, "You have the highest bounty in the country, and I intend to collect it." Erron Black said, "How much are they payin'?" Tom asked, "A million dollars, alive or dead." Erron Black replied, greatly shocking the world's natives, "Draw." Erron Black said, and they were get ready, "One." Dommiel said, the two stood ready, everycreature was nervous, "Two." Dommiel said, the creatures watch while sweating and worried about what was going on, "Three." Dommiel said, and Tom drew his revolver while Erron Black drew both of his revolvers, they fire at one another and Tom was hit in the abdomen while Erron Black was hit in the heart, he grunted and fell while Tom grunted a bit. Tom panted while he looked at Erron Black, the Mane Six and Starlight Glimmer go to them, "You guys seriously need some new ways with dealing with criminals." Twilight Sparkle said, "It's ain't dyin' that's hard for us, it's livin' that's hard." Josey replied, "Well, maybe it's time you guys changed that." Starlight Glimmer said, "What do you all say? Want to stay here?" Volvox asked, everybody disagreed, saying they want to go see their families, "Sorry, but we have to leave." Volvox said, much to the world's natives' disappointments. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna flew to the farm and walked to Tom, "Well, Tom?" Princess Celestia asked sternly, Tom looked at her, "What is your real name?" Princess Celestia asked, "Uh..." Tom replied, "No one knows, not even me." Volvox said, shocking the ponies, "You don't know his name, either?" Princess Luna asked, "None of us do." Dommiel replied, "It is a mystery, I think no one will ever know." White Horse said, surprising everyone, "Well, do you ghouls have enough energy to send us back?" Volvox asked, they nodded, "Well, we have to leave now." Volvox said, and the ponies left, they say goodbye to them as the farm and ghouls' continent were teleported back to their homes. The world's natives, especially the ponies, changelings, hippogriffs, and kirins, hope they change their ways into a new and safer way of life. Flurry Heart remained traumatized by the gun incident, and continued to have nightmares about it, Princess Luna did her best to comfort her from it in the dream realm. Everybody appeared back at home and everything was back to normal, Django got his coffin and headed to the city, Shane rode his horse up north and left, Josey rode to the east and headed to the city, Erron Black survived the gunshot somehow and left, planning to collect Tom's bounty later, and John rode to the west to look for Bill Williamson. Volvox watched John with worry and uneasiness, sensing that his journey was not going to end well for him.
ModernVolvox was living in a modern day suburbs and lived in a house, his days of ruling over the humans were over, and he had to retire about three hundred years ago. Volvox lived with Dommiel, who stayed with him even after the end of his reign, he was Volvox's best friend and now one of his roommates, another roommate was Giovi, a ghoul who had knife blades in place of his claws on his hands, Volvox's last roommate was the Count of Saint Germain, who was a time traveler from three hundred years ago, he befriended Volvox and Dommiel in his time, and decided to come to the modern day so he can see them again. Living to their rights was Tom, who was a district attorney, his wife's name was Sarah, and his daughter's name was Jazmine. Living to the left of Volvox and his roommates was Harvey, Orchid, Nick, and Lance, Harvey and Orchid were from different worlds, while Nick was their son, and Lance was adopted by Nick, Harvey, Nick, and Lance were originally humans, but experimented on to be part human, part mutant, part machine, and part alien, the upper-right part of their faces were robotic, made out of silver metal, and had a red slanted eye in place of their right eyes, their left cheeks were alien with dark red skin, their human eyes regular color, Harvey's and Nick's eyes were blue, while Lance's eye was brown, their right foots were an alien's foot with black claws for his toenails, while their left foots were robotic and silver, their right hands were robotic, and could change to a gun, their left hands were alien with the dark red and dark orange skin with black claws, they had the wings of the aliens coming out of their backs, they had silver robotic parts on them, gills on the sides of their necks, their abdomens were silver and metallic in some places, dark red with alien skin in other areas, and the rest was human, and they had the alien's tail coming out of their tailbones, they could make the three horns of the aliens extrude from their heads at will, and the three had telekinesis, telepathy, and technopathy. Orchid had pale skin, an hourglass body shape, an inverted triangle face, green eyes, and red hair that was a bob and went just past her ears, she was wearing a long-sleeve shirt, pants, and shoes, she had on a cape that went halfway down her back, they were all a light beige color, she had five small jewels that were circular in the center of her chest on her shirt, they formed a star, the left jewel was a red ruby, the lower-left jewel was a yellow topaz, the lower-right jewel was a green emerald, the right jewel was a blue sapphire, and the top jewel was a purple amethyst, each jewel represented one of the five elements Orchid controlled, the ruby represented fire, the topaz represented earth, the sapphire represented water, the emerald represented wind, and the amethyst represented lightning. Harvey, Orchid, Nick, and Lance sometimes got visitors they were the friends Nick made when he went to Orchid's home world, one of them was Mercer, he was a humanoid made out of magma, called a magperson, his body was black, hard as rock, and had red lines it, the next one was Silver, a ningen, she was bipedal, her body's mostly white, she has fins on her wrists and ankles, gills on her neck, she has fingers and toes like a human, and her face was a bit like a bird's, with a hooked beak, the third one was Rock, a golem, he was made purely out of dark yellowish-brown rock, his eyes were just spaces in the rock, he had a mouth to speak with, the fourth one was Aero, she was an aviator, she was a humanoid eagle, her body was covered in brown feathers, but her head was covered in white feathers, she had long white hair, and the last one was Alice, a little girl with lightning magic, she had scapulae length yellow blonde hair, she wore a light blue magically enchanted long-sleeve shirt, light blue pants, and small white shoes, she was the youngest of the group, and was around Lance's age. Volvox's, Tom's, and Harvey's and Orchid's homes were the only ones on the left side, there were three houses on the right side as well, living across from Tom was the Freeman family, which consisted of Huey, Riley, and Robert, living across from Volvox and his roommates were Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad, and living across from Harvey and Orchid was Carl Brutananadilewski. Volvox and the others lived peacefully overall, but they were a busy and wild street in the neighborhood, a lot of things have happened on their street, they have had aliens, angels, demons, monsters, live buildings, ghosts, and evil machines on their street, they were not the only ones affected, others in the neighborhood were affected as well. The Count of Saint Germain watches TV and saw South Park was on, he was watching Justin Bieber sing 'Baby' and was laughing at his dancing, Volvox and Dommiel chuckle while Giovi had a smile on his face. The four could not hear the TV anymore and they realize Riley was playing loud rap music in his home, "Boy, turn that down." Robert said, "But it's Gangstalicious, granddad." Riley replied, "Boy, I told you to turn that down, I'll beat you till you actually do." Robert said, and they hear Robert whipping Riley with his belt, Riley exclaims in pain while Robert scolds him. Everybody also hears Shake and Frylock arguing while Meatwad was playing with his toys, everyone also heard Carl trying to flirt with a woman, they also hear Orchid beating Nick and Lance for something they did, and Tom arguing with Sarah, "*sigh* Looks like one of those days." Dommiel said, "Well, there's nothing we can do about it." Volvox replied, "It's not too bad, at least we're all on good terms with one another." the Count of Saint Germain said, "True, but I still worry about Tom, I don't think Sarah is the best wife for him." Volvox replied, his three roommates agreed. A whirling sound was heard outside and everyone heads out, "What is that noise?" Alice asked, they look and saw Frylock and Huey trying something, "What are you two doing?" Lance asked, "We have created a space and time warping device, if this works right, we will be able to find another world and transfer ourselves there." Frylock replied, "Alright! I wanna see Zucotti Manicotti!" Meatwad said, "Forget Zucotti Suck-a-cotti, take us to Venus." Shake replied, "Yeah, that's where all of those green skinned babes are at." Carl said, "Is that all you two think about?" Orchid asked, "I bet your husband and sons think that way, too." Shake replied, "He's right, we do." Harvey said, "Yeah, there's no denying it, I have those thoughts sometimes as well." Nick replied, "Are they about me?" Silver asked, "Maybe." Nick replied, "Don't deny it, Nick, we can all see your crush on Silver." Aero said, Mercer, Rock, and Alice laugh, "Maybe I have one on you, too, Aero." Nick replied, which made Aero blush, "Enough, Nick, you shouldn't waste your time thinking about such trivial things." Orchid said, "Didn't you think about that when you were our age?" Mercer asked, "No, I was thinking about how to survive and save our world from Egliatos." Orchid replied, "How about you, Harvey?" Rock asked, "Nope, no woman actually loved me until I met Orchid." Harvey replied, "You were the one who wanted to marry, I didn't mind too much." Orchid said, "Well, it's nice you two have a nice marriage, but I think you all are a bit too unfriendly with one another." Tom replied, "We just have different opinions from one another." Harvey said, "Are you falling in love with Orchid, Tom?" Sarah asked, "No, honey, I'm just saying I'd wish all of us would argue less often." Tom replied, "Well, the thing is set, here we go." Frylock said, and a beam shoots in the sky, "Ooh, I see something coming." Jazmine said, everyone looks and they see a man fall onto the road, surprising everyone, they saw it was Mr. Bean, one of the neighborhood's residents, "Hey, it's Mr. Bean." Meatwad said, "No, you mean it's Rowan Atkinson, I liked him better as Blackadder." Robert replied, "Wait, let's see how he acts." Huey said, and Mr. Bean wanders around and looks at everything with curiosity, "Oh, it is Mr. Bean, guy's an idiot." Robert said, "Now, Robert, I wouldn't say that, he's just a child in a man's body." Tom replied, "He's still an idiot." Riley said, "I know right, I'd bet he'll kill himself one day." Shake replied, "He already lost his girlfriend, he can't get any girls like me." Carl said, "I'd rather date him than date you and Shake." Orchid replied, "I'd like to go out with him, I think his antics are pretty cute." Jazmine said, "Now, now, Jazmine, Mr. Bean's too old for you, just because he acts like a kid doesn't mean he is one." Tom replied, "Okay, it's set, let's try this again." Huey said, and Mr. Bean began watching with curiosity, they use the device again and another person came down, but he floated in midair, it was Roger, another resident in the town. Roger was a teenage boy, he had slightly tan skin, an oblong face shape, short black hair, blue eyes, and wore a black business suit with a white long-sleeve button-up dress shirt with a collar, a black tie, black socks, and black dress shoes. Roger had the powers and abilities of thirty five gods, they were the gods of fire, water, earth, wind, heat, lava, ice, snow, stone, rock, wood, the weather, the atmosphere, lightning, light, darkness, angels, demons, the sun, the moon, the stars, space, time, speed, strength, endurance, flexibility, agility, courage, wisdom, magic, technology, truths, plants, and animals. Roger floats around and looks at them, "If you wish, I can use my powers to find another world." Roger said, "Sure, Roger, that would be really nice." Frylock replied, "Alright, here goes nothing." Roger said, and he uses his powers to make the device recharge immediately, he warps time and space and the entire neighborhood was teleported elsewhere. The residents of Ponyville were minding their own businesses until they sense something off, they notice it was near the Everfree Forest, they watch and see the neighborhood appear, surprising everyone, the first thing they saw was Volvox, who was three thousand feet tall, three hundred feet long, and three hundred fifty feet wide, the ponies walk forward carefully and see some of the other residents, "We've got company." Dommiel said, and they all look and see Equestria, they notice Princess Celestia and Princess Luna looking at them, "Wait a minute, I know this world, one of our neighborhood's residents came here once." Volvox said, surprising the ponies, and Volvox contacts the person telepathically. The Mane Six were about to enter the neighborhood and hear walking, "I'm here, guys." the human said, he looks and saw the Mane Six, "Phoenix!" Twilight Sparkle said happily, she and her five friends run to Phoenix Wright and hug him, "How've you been, buddy?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Great. Whoa, Twilight, you have wings." Phoenix replied, "Oh yeah, I got them after you left, I'm a princess now." Twilight Sparkle replied, "How about the rest of you?" Phoenix asked, "I'm a Wonderbolt now." Rainbow Dash replied, "I have a big cottage now." Fluttershy said, "Apple Bloom's got her cutie mark now." Applejack said, "I have opened more shops around Equestria, and I must say, I do like your new style of dressing, Phoenix." Rarity said, "And best of all, we're teachers now!" Pinkie Pie said, Phoenix smiled, "Well, congratulations." Phoenix said, "Phoenix!" two voices said happily, Phoenix looks and saw Apple Bloom and Scootaloo running to him, "Oh, hi there, I remember you two, too." Phoenix said, "It's nice to see ya again, we got our cutie marks." Apple Bloom said, and Phoenix saw them, "Oh yeah, you two were trying to get them when I last came here, congratulations." Phoenix replied, "Thank you." Apple Bloom and Scootaloo said happily, "Hey!" Sweetie Belle said as she ran to them, "Who is this?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Oh right, there's actually three of us, Phoenix, this is Sweetie Belle, y'all two didn't meet last time." Apple Bloom said, "Apple Bloom and Scootaloo talked about you, Phoenix, it's nice to finally meet you." Sweetie Belle said with a smile, "Nice to meet you, too, where's Spike?" Phoenix asked, he hears flying and saw Spike fly down, "I'm right here, Phoenix." Spike said, "What the? You too, Spike?" Phoenix asked, "Yes, just like me, Phoenix, Spike got wings while you were gone, too." Twilight Sparkle replied, Phoenix chuckled, they hear running and saw Starlight Glimmer coming, "What? Who is this?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "This is Phoenix, he defended Rainbow Dash in court long before we met you." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Phoenix Wright, defense attorney." Phoenix said, "Starlight Glimmer, I'm Twilight's apprentice." Starlight Glimmer replied, "Wow! You have an assistant now, too?!" Phoenix asked with surprise, "Yes, she's a good student." Twilight Sparkle replied happily, "So, how have you been, Phoenix?" Applejack asked, "I'm a father now." Phoenix replied, "What?!" the ponies and Spike asked with shock, "You heard me, my daughter's name is Trucy, and I'm a mentor to another attorney, her name's Athena, I had another one named Apollo, but he moved to a different country." Phoenix replied, "I wanna hear all about it!" Pinkie Pie said, the others agreed, "Alright, let's start." Phoenix replied, and they all talk about their experiences when they went their separate ways, "Wow, I never thought you would get disbarred." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, I'm back now, and still defending people in court." Phoenix replied, the ponies and Spike smiled, "So, how's Sonata been?" Phoenix asked, "Oh, about that, we actually don't know." Rainbow Dash replied, "Trixie's friends with us now, I'm her assistant." Starlight Glimmer said, "I'm surprised she turned a new leaf, I guess she's not a prosecutor anymore." Phoenix replied, "I never knew Trixie was a prosecutor." Starlight Glimmer said, "So, how has Professor Layton been?" Pinkie Pie asked, "I haven't contacted him in years." Phoenix replied, "You don't have an idea on what he's doing?" Rarity asked, "All I saw was the news saying he's gone missing." Phoenix replied, shocking the ponies and Spike, "Say, can we see where you work?" Spike asked, "Sure, follow me." Phoenix replied, and he leads them. Phoenix takes them to the Wright Anything Agency and they enter, "Trucy, Athena, I'm back." Phoenix said, "Hi, daddy." Trucy replied and she became shocked when she saw the ponies and Spike, "Everyone, meet Trucy, my daughter." Phoenix said, "Wow, you don't look like any of the other creatures living in the neighborhood." Trucy said, "Wait, who's there?" Athena asked and she ran to where she heard the voices, she was surprised to see the ponies and Spike, "This is Athena, she works under me." Phoenix said, "Hi, it's a pleasure to meet you two, I'm Twilight Sparkle, I once summoned Phoenix to my world to take a case." Twilight Sparkle said, "Wait, oh, I remember now, daddy has a picture of a rainbow horse." Trucy replied, "I remember that picture, too, I've always wondered what that picture was." Athena said, "I had to explain it to them, they misunderstood the picture and it led to them thinking I had some kind of fetish." Phoenix replied, "Are you talking about that picture of me? The one Ace Swift took?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "Yes, Rainbow Dash, that one." Phoenix replied, Rainbow Dash felt humiliated, "My life is ruined!" Rainbow Dash said, "There, there, Rainbow Dash, you don't need to feel that way, I already explained it all to them." Phoenix replied, Rarity noticed something, her eyes popped out of her sockets, "Phoenix, darling!" Rarity said, "Yes?" Phoenix asked, "Your hair! You have a spike sticking out on the front, it looks ridiculous!" Rarity said, "I've tried to fix it, but it keeps moving back in front of my face." Phoenix replied, "Then you shall come to my boutique, I think I might be able to fix it." Rarity said, "So, what do you two do?" Fluttershy asked, "I'm a magician." Trucy said, "And I'm an attorney, Mr. Wright's my boss." Athena said, the mares and Spike smiled, "I heard something about other creatures living in this neighborhood." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yes, not just humans live here, there's a lot of people here, you can see them from the window." Phoenix replied, and they look, they saw the Watterson family, which consisted of Gumball, Anais, Darwin, Nicole, and Richard, the Simpson family, which consisted Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Snowball, and Santa's Little Helper, the Griffin family, which consisted of Peter, Lois, Chris, Meg, Stewie, and Brian, they saw Glenn Quagmire, Cleveland Brown, and Joe Swanson with them as well, they also saw Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick waiting at a bus stop, Randy Marsh trying to give himself cancer, Yakko Warner, Wakko Warner, and Dot Warner running around the neighborhood, Rita and Runt traveling together, Buttons watching Mindy, Pinky and the Brain plotting something, Slappy Squirrel walking into the neighborhood, Black Dynamite running an orphanage, Dethklok performing a concert, Phineas and Ferb building something, a restaurant called Los Pollos Hermanos, a bar called Stray Sheep, a police station, and a tree house. The ponies and Spike were extremely surprised, "Wow, what a very diverse neighborhood you guys live in." Twilight Sparkle said, "It is, you guys should get going, I have a case to take." Phoenix replied, "Okay, well, we'll be leaving now, bye, Phoenix." Twilight Sparkle said, and they go out. The Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike walk and look around together, "So, what'd y'all think of this place?" Applejack asked, "Believe it or not, Applejack, but this place is extremely similar to the world Sunset Shimmer's staying in." Twilight Sparkle replied, "What?!" every other pony except Starlight Glimmer and Spike asked, "It is, this place is just like there." Spike replied, "Yes, it's very similar, I think we should call her over." Starlight Glimmer said, "Great idea, Starlight Glimmer, I think the other creatures should come here, too, it's so diverse." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they head home. The Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike head home but stop when Yakko, Wakko, and Dot stop in front of them, "Are you guys the new people?" Yakko asked, "Why yes, I'm Twilight Sparkle, this is Rainbow Dash, that's Applejack, this is Rarity, this is Pinkie Pie, that's Fluttershy, that's Starlight Glimmer, and that's Spike." Twilight Sparkle said, "We're the Warner brothers." Yakko and Wakko replied together, "And the Warner sister." Dot said, "Oh, you three look so cute." Fluttershy said, "Say, Twilight Sparkle, are you a vampire?" Yakko asked, "What? No." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I wonder if Stephenie Meyer named her." Yakko said, "What are your names?" Pinkie Pie asked, "I'm Yakko." Yakko said, "I'm Wakko." Wakko said, "And I'm cute." Dot said, her brothers look at her annoyed, "No, no, no, darling, your actual name." Rarity said, "I am Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fanna Bo Besca the Third, but you can call me Dot, but call me Dottie, and you die." Dot replied, "You're... a princess?" Rarity asked, "Yup." Dot replied, "Well, sorry, but we have to go, we were just here to say hi." Twilight Sparkle said, the three begin singing a welcome song to them, Pinkie Pie, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle began dancing with them, "Well, thank you, but we have to go." Twilight Sparkle said, and they leave, the Warner siblings wave bye at them and Princess Celestia was smiling, she was already liking the new area, the ponies and Spike arrive home and sleep for the day, excited about the neighborhood, Twilight Sparkle wrote to Sunset Shimmer and asked her to come, thinking she will like the new place. The next day comes and Sunset Shimmer arrived, "I'm here, what's this new place like?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "You're here, Sunset, this way." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she leads her to the neighborhood, the other creatures were there as well, to look, "Wow, it really does look like the place I'm staying at." Sunset Shimmer said, but her excitement died down when they heard arguing, "You keep failing your classes, boy, I don't feed you for free, you know." Robert said, "But granddad, I need to keep my gangsta image." Riley replied, "I don't care bout yo gangsta image, you will do better in school, and Yakko is going to tell you the nations of the world." and they were in the road with Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, Tom, Sarah, Jazmine, Harvey, Orchid, Nick, Lance, Mercer, Silver, Rock, Aero, Alice, Shake, Frylock, Meatwad, Carl, and Huey. The song starts Yakko starts singing Nations of the World, "United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Haiti, Jamaica, Peru, Republic Dominican, Cuba, Carribbean, Greenland, El Salvador, too.

Yakko sang, the world's natives clapped and the others looked back, Silver and Aero clapped as well, so did Lance, "That was awesome!" Rainbow Dash said, "ENCORE!!" Pinkie Pie yelled, "Uh, you missed some of the countries." Huey said, "Yeah, some of those names are outdated, too." Tom replied, "Wait, they are?" Yakko asked, "Yeah, I noticed that, too." Robert said, "They speak the truth, Yakko, Dommiel and I were alive long enough to see the name of the nations change throughout history." Volvox said, "Sorry, Yakko, but your song is out of date." Dommiel said, Yakko looked down, "Excuse me." Princess Celestia said, and she walks to them, "Who is in charge of this neighborhood?" Princess Celestia asked, everyone was speechless, "That's... not an easy question to answer." Orchid replied, "That's true, there's really no one in charge here." Frylock said, "Wait. A talking milkshake, a floating box of french fries, and a ball of meat?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "I'm Meatwad." Meatwad said, "Name's Frylock, and that's Shake." Frylock said, "Master Shake, you dummy!" Shake said, "He just called you a dummy, Frylock." Meatwad said, "I know, Meatwad." Frylock replied, "It does't matter if he calls ya a dummy, all three of you are dumb anyway." Carl said, the world's natives glare at him, "Who is this?" Princess Celestia asked, "That's Carl, he's just a grumpy neighbor." Robert replied, "I'm grumpy because you guys always playing that no good rap music! I can stand Huey though, cause he likes Elton John." Carl said, Rarity screamed with shock and ran to Carl, "What is this ridiculous outfit?!" Rarity asked as she looked at Carl's white tank top, light blue sweatpants, and green sandals, "Hey, it's just what I wear, nice and comfortable." Carl said, Rarity was disgusted by Carl's outfit, she thought it was ugly. Rarity looks past Carl and screamed with horror at what she saw, the others look and saw two men walking by, sagging their pants, and exposing their boxer shorts, "Sagging's a popular way to wear pants now." Huey said, "Sagging?!" Rarity asked, "What? Don't you like it?" Riley asked, "No! That is the ugliest fashion trend I have ever seen!" Rarity replied, "Well, you're just going to have to get used to it, then." Tom said, and Rarity looks on and saw almost every human in her sight sagging their pants, "Ugh, that is gross, no human in my world wears their pants like that." Sunset Shimmer said, "I couldn't agree more, that is ugly." Twilight Sparkle replied, the world's natives agreed. A car was heard and it crashes in the middle of the road, scaring the world's natives, they saw Mordecai and Rigby were driving the car, "Sorry, we're having difficulties." Mordecai said, "Whoa, we look far from the park." Rigby said, they look and see the park the two work at, Sunset Shimmer walked to them, "Excuse me, I'll drive it for you." Sunset Shimmer said, "Thanks, we'll give you the directions." Rigby replied, and Sunset Shimmer drove the car while the world's natives followed the car. The world's natives look around the neighborhood and saw many people, they saw Lucas Kane and Vincent Brooks in an apartment, they also saw Ethan Mars walking with Shaun, they notice Ethan had a bandage wrapped around his left pinky finger, they also saw Steven Universe walking around the neighborhood. Sunset Shimmer arrives at the park and parks the car for Mordecai and Rigby, they exited it afterwards, "Thanks, hopefully Benson doesn't yell at us." Mordecai said, "Yeah, it wasn't our fault that portal opened." Rigby replied, "Wait, what portal?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "A lot of things happen around here." Mordecai replied, "Yeah, trust us, we have crazy adventures all of the time." Rigby said, Fluttershy rubbed them, "You two are so cute, I wish I could adopt you guys." Fluttershy said, "Sorry, but I'm taken." Rigby replied, "I like living at the park." Mordecai said, "Say, do you guys have a place to get your driver's license?" Sunset Shimmer asked, Mordecai and Rigby become shocked, "What's the matter?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "You do not want to take the driver's test here." Mordecai replied, "Oh, come on, how bad can it be?" Sunset Shimmer asked, and Mordecai and Rigby lead her to the place people get their driver's license, it was called San Fierro Advanced Driving School, Sunset Shimmer saw the courses being driven and was extremely shocked at what they had to do, "Whoa, my driving test was super easy when compared to that one." Sunset Shimmer said, the world's natives see a person attempt the Alley Oop and crash, horrifying the world's natives, "What?! How are they supposed to pass that?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "That's not the one that gets most people, that one over there is." Rigby replied, and they see a person doing the Burn and Lap, "That one gets a lot of people, too." Mordecai said, and they see someone doing the City Slicking, only to fail when they stop, "What?! All that person did was hit the brakes." Sunset Shimmer said, "That doesn't matter in that test, in that one, once when you start, you have to keep going, if you slow down or stop, you fail." Mordecai replied, the world's natives were shocked, especially Sunset Shimmer, since she just got her driver's license after failing so many times, "We never did get your names." Spike said, "Mordecai." Mordecai replied, "Rigby." Rigby said, "Well, it was nice to meet you two, but we have to get going." Princess Celestia said, and they left. The world's natives walk together and look around the neighborhood, "I must say, this place has a lot of creatures." Princess Ember said, "Yes, and they're not living separately, everycreature here is living together peacefully." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Do you want them in the School of Friendship, Headmare Twilight?" Ocellus asked, "Well, yes, but I don't think I have enough room here for everycreature." Twilight Sparkle replied, Rarity exclaimed with shock, the others look and saw more humans up ahead sagging, much to the disgust of the world's natives, "Seriously, they should get rid of that fashion." Rainbow Dash said, the others agreed and they walk forward. The world's natives keep walking and they saw Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup flying around, "Whoa, they can fly, too." Rainbow Dash said, "Hi, there, we're the Powerpuff Girls." Bubbles said, everybody look at her and Twilight Sparkle, "What? We don't sound the same." Twilight Sparkle said, "Really? It sounds like you two have similar voices." Blossom replied, "Say? Do you guys have any awesome stories about your land?" Buttercup asked, "Ha, wait until you hear about our adventures and battles!" Rainbow Dash said, "Whoa there, another time, Rainbow Dash, we're just here to see the people." Applejack replied, "Well, it was nice meeting you guys, but we have to get going, Mojo Jojo's plotting something." Blossom said, and they fly away, Princess Celestia chuckled, "Those three look so cute." Princess Celestia said, "Hey, who are those guys?" Princess Luna asked, and they see Billy, Mandy, and Grim, "Hey, look, giraffes from that school we go to." Billy said, the world's natives were confused, "Ignore him, he's an idiot." Mandy said, "I'm just tagging along, don't mind me." Grim said, "What are your names?" Silverstream asked, "What's a name?" Billy asked, "*sigh* He's Billy, I'm Mandy, and that's Grim." Mandy said, "What are you supposed to be, Grim?" Scootaloo asked, "I am the grim reaper, I harvest the souls of those who die." Grim replied, "That's usually my job." Princess Luna said, "We have to get going now, we have things to do, let's go, you two." Mandy said, and she drags Billy and Grim with her, "I must say, she does not look like the friendly type." Rarity said, "I'm getting a bad feeling about her, too." Starlight Glimmer replied, "Hey! Look at those four guys over there!" Pinkie Pie said, and they see Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny standing at the bus stop, they go to them. The four boys see the world's natives coming to them, "Wow, after all of the things that happened in this neighborhood, things couldn't get any weirder." Stan said, "Weird things happen in this neighborhood?" Fluttershy asked, "Lady, you have no idea." Kyle replied, "Well, it isn't all that surprising, considering how many different types of creatures live here." Starlight Glimmer said, "You guys think they could be from that one place?" Cartman asked, "Probably, but we didn't see them there." Kyle replied, "Wait, where?" Twilight Sparkle asked, Kenny speaks in a muffled voice, "I don't think so, Kenny, they don't look like they're from Imaginationland." Stan said, "Did you say Imaginationland?!" Pinkie Pie asked excitedly, "Yeah, it's not a pleasant place, though." Stan replied, "Well, can you describe it?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Well, I found it by going after a leprechaun." Cartman replied, "What's a leprechaun?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I'll explain later." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Basically, it's place where all of the fictional characters created by our minds existed." Kyle said, "Ooh, that sounds exciting!" Pinkie Pie said, "Actually, the evil fictional characters killed the good fictional characters." Stan replied, "Seriously? That sounds like something from Discord's realm." Rainbow Dash said, Kenny spoke in a muffled voice, "What did he just say?" Applejack asked, "He asked who is Discord?" Kyle replied, "Why, that is me." Discord said, the four look at him, "Dude, you sound just like Q from Star Trek." Stan said, "Do I now? Must be a coincidence." Discord replied, "Well, it was nice meeting you four, but we have to go now." Princess Celestia said, and they leave. The world's natives travel together and see Rita and Runt in front of them, "Aw." Fluttershy said, she flew to the two, "You two look cute." Fluttershy said, "Yeah, thanks, flying horse." Rita replied in a deadpan tone, "They can talk?!" Silverstream asked with excitement, "Yeah, we can talk, definitely can talk." Runt replied, "What are you two doing?" Sandbar asked, "Just searching for a home." Rita replied, "Well, if you two wish, you can live at my cottage." Fluttershy said, "Eh, I guess, I suppose it wouldn't be too bad." Rita replied, "Yeah, good, definitely good." Runt said, "What's wrong with him?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Oh, he's just a bit slow." Rita replied, "It sounds like brain damage to me." Twilight Sparkle said, "What are your names?" Sweetie Belle asked, "I'm Rita, and this is Runt." Rita replied, "Well, we'll come back for you two, I'll lead you to my cottage later." Fluttershy said, "Alright, till next time, if we do meet again." Rita replied, the world's natives say bye to them while Runt walks away with Rita on his back. The world's natives keep walking and they see Bobby, Pesto, and Squit flying around, they soon come across Slappy Squirrel, "Hello." Fluttershy said, "What do you want?" Slappy Squirrel asked, "Are you abandoned, too?" Fluttershy asked, "No, I live in a tree, now buzz off." Slappy Squirrel replied, "Oh my, what a lovely hat you're wearing." Rarity said, "It ain't for sale, lady." Slappy Squirrel replied, "Uh, guys, I don't think she's friendly." Ocellus said, "Friendly, you say? Here, have some candy." Slappy Squirrel replied, and she gives Ocellus six lollipops, "Why, thank you." Ocellus said, and the lollipops exploded, making her all black, Slappy Squirrel laughed while the world's natives glared at her, "Now, that's comedy." Slappy Squirrel said, "No, it isn't." Pinkie Pie replied, "Who are you?" Princess Cadence asked, "Slappy Squirrel, retired comedian and cartoon character." Slappy Squirrel replied, "That wasn't funny." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, I have to get goin' now, I'm going to warn you all to watch the skies as you all travel here." Slappy Squirrel replied, and she leaves, "Wait, what's in the sky?" Applejack asked, and an anvil fell on her, she grunted as she squashed, the unicorns quickly use telekinesis to pick it up, Applejack was as flat as a pancake, but soon reverted back to her regular form, "You alright, Applejack?" Granny Smith asked, "Yeah, I'm fine, that really hurt, though." Applejack replied, "Come on, let's see who else is here." Twilight Sparkle said, the others agreed and they travel together. The world's natives look and see the Simpson family and go to them, "Hi there, you guys look so cute." Lisa said, "Why, thank you, darling." Rarity replied, "I've always wanted a pony." Lisa said, "Sorry, but we're not pets." Rainbow Dash replied, "Who is that over there?" Sandbar asked, "Oh, that's Bart, my big brother." Lisa replied, they see Bart was causing mischief and chuckling, "Hmm, it seems he could use some outside time." Twilight Sparkle said, "Don't get me started on him, he's always causing trouble." Lisa replied, "Who are you talking to, sweetie?" Marge asked as she came out, she saw the visitors, "Oh, you all must be from that area over there." Marge said, "Uh, not all of us, we're from around this world." Ocellus replied, Homer came out afterwards, "What happened to the mailman?" Homer asked, thinking the world's natives were mailmen, "Actually, I'm a mail pony." Derpy replied, Homer looked at Doctor Whooves, "Is that you, Doctor Who?" Homer asked, "Why, yes, I go by the name Doctor Whooves now." Doctor Whooves replied, "You know them, Doctor Whooves?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No, but I do know of the world they're from." Doctor Whooves replied, "I can't wait to explore this place, it looks amazing." Sunset Shimmer said, they hear a splat and saw Bart throwing balloons filled with ice cream at his neighbors, they saw it was Meg Griffin, she runs into her house while she exclaims with shock and Bart laughs, "Hey! That wasn't a nice a prank!" Pinkie Pie said, Bart threw one at her and she screamed, she licked the pink ice cream, "Hmm, strawberry." Pinkie Pie said, "I've got chocolate and vanilla, too." Bart replied, "Ooh, ooh, ooh, I want them." Pinkie Pie said while jumping up and down, "I don't think your son is well disciplined." Princess Celestia said, "I have tried many things, but none of them have worked." Marge replied, they hear a pacifier and saw Maggie crawl outside, "Aw." the females except for Princess Ember, Smolder, Yona, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack said, "That's Maggie, my baby sister." Lisa said, "She's so cute." Fluttershy replied, "We also have pets." Bart said, "Oh really? Please, I'd like to see them." Fluttershy replied, and they bring Snowball V and Santa's Little Helper, "Oh, you all have two pets." Rarity said, "This is Snowball V." Lisa said, "This is Santa's Little Helper." Bart said, "Santa's Little Helper?" Applejack asked, "That's what our son named him." Homer replied, "Who are you two?" Princess Luna asked, "I'm Homer, and this is my wife, Marge." Homer replied, "Well, it was nice to meet you all, we'll be leaving now." Princess Celestia said, and they go to the next house. The world's natives walk to the north and see the Griffin family, "Mom, dad, creatures from Meg's fairy tale books came out." Chris said, and the family comes out with guns, "Wait, no they're not, I don't read fairy tales." Meg replied, "Wait, they look like they're from the land around us." Brian said, the world's natives were shocked, "He can talk?!" Rarity asked, "Yeah, name's Brian, this is Chris, that's Peter, that's Lois, and that's Stewie." Brian replied, "You forgot her." Spike said, "Who?" Peter asked, "That girl in front of ya." Applejack replied in an annoyed tone, "She's not a part of the family." Lois said, "Yes, I am! I'm your only daughter!" Meg replied angrily, "I don't recall you being in the family, Meg." Stewie said, "A talking baby?!" Shining Armor asked with shock, Princess Cadence was shocked as well, "You got a problem with that?" Stewie asked, "No, it's just our baby doesn't know how to talk yet." Princess Cadence replied, and Flurry Heart burbled, "Ugh, she looks like the baby Rosemary gave birth to." Stewie said, "She looks more like a female Damien Thorn to me." Peter replied, the world's natives were confused, "Who are you guys talking to?" Cleveland asked as he walked out, Quagmire and Joe were there as well, "Who are those guys?" Ocellus asked, "Ugh, my husband's friends." Lois replied, "Hi there, I'm Glenn Quagmire, giggity." Quagmire said, "Cleveland Brown." Cleveland said, "Joe Swanson, police." Joe said, "Where do you guys live?" Rarity asked, "Our houses are in your sights." Joe replied, they look and see many other houses, but they looked empty, "That looks amazing over there." Twilight Sparkle said, everybody saw the roller coaster, "Whoa, a roller coaster." Rainbow Dash said, "I say we check it out." Sandbar said, the world's natives agreed and walked to it. The world's natives go to the roller coaster, "Oh, hi, guys." Phineas said as he waved at them, "Who are you two?" Fluttershy asked, "I'm Phineas, and that's Ferb." Phineas replied, Ferb waved at them, "What are you guys doing?" Smolder asked, "We're building the world's biggest roller coaster." Phineas replied, "Can I help?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's fine, we already got everything figured out." Phineas replied, "Yona wanna ride roller coaster." Yona said, the other yaks agreed, "Don't puke on yourself, Yona." Gallus said, "Look who's talking, Mr. Puke Shooter." Grampa Gruff said, they hear walking and saw Isabella, Baljeet, and Buford enter, "What cha doin'?" Isabella asked, "We're building the roller coaster." Phineas replied, "We just heard these guys want to ride it too." Buford said, "It will not work, we have to change everything so the parts can support their weight." Baljeet said, Phineas and Ferb stop, "Good point, alright, let's take it down and start over." Phineas said, "Call me when you all start, I'd like to help." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Okay, we have work to do, you all have to leave." Phineas said, and they do, "Oh, I can't wait for when they start, I want to help them." Twilight Sparkle said, "Me too, that looks fun to make." Sunburst replied, Princess Celestia laughed, "Well, let's go, I think we only have a few more to see." Princess Celestia said, and they walk on the road. The world's natives keep going and they see Buttons watching Mindy from his doghouse, they see the orphanage was up ahead and went to it, "What are you ugly looking monsters supposed to be?" Black Dynamite asked, "Uh, we just want to see who's here." Princess Celestia replied, "You just told Black Dynamite you wanna see who's here, so Black Dynamite ain't gonna show you who's here." Black Dynamite said, shocking the world's natives, "Fine, we don't wanna meet anyone anyway." Applejack said, "Don't you try to use that reverse psychology on me, like them white folk from the CIA, you actually wanna see who's inside, you told Black Dynamite, so Black Dynamite ain't showin' ya who's inside." Black Dynamite replied, Rarity was starting to growl with anger, "Who's out there, Black Dynamite?" Honey Bee asked as she stepped outside with Bullhorn, Cream Corn, and the women and children who inhabited the orphanage, "Ugh, I must say, the afros are not that attractive." Rarity said, "What you say bout my hair, girl?" Honey Bee asked, "Nothing, darling." Rarity replied with fear in her voice, "What are your names?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Bullhorn's my name, running the orphanage is my game." Bullhorn replied, "I'm Cream Corn, lady's man in charge." Cream Corn said while smiling and pointing his index fingers, "Honey Bee, hurt the kids, and I'll be on your behind." Honey Bee said, "This doesn't look like an appropriate setting for kids." Princess Cadence said, "While the women here are gettin' paid, the men who visit here are gettin' laid." Bullhorn replied, the world's natives groan with disgust, "This isn't appropriate for kids!" Rarity said, "Well, Black Dynamite needs someway to make money to keep this place runnin'." Black Dynamite replied, "Who is this Black Dynamite anyway?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "He's Black Dynamite, Black Dynamite likes to refer to himself in third person." Honey Bee replied, "That's just how he talks." Cream Corn said, "Well... we should get going." Twilight Sparkle said, the others agreed and they left, "Y'all notice somethin' about that Bullhorn guy?" Applejack asked, "Yeah, he talks just like Zecora." Rainbow Dash replied, "While he does talk in rhymes, I don't think he can instantly rhyme on a dime." Zecora said, "Let's go, just a few more." Princess Luna said, and they do. The world's natives keep walking and see Randy Marsh sitting outside, they go to him, "Huh? Who are you guys?" Randy asked, "We're from the land around you guys." Sunburst replied, "Oh, it's another one of those days." Randy said, "You guys don't sound surprised at seeing us." Princess Skystar said, "Trust me, we've seen a lot, this is nothing new to us." Randy replied, "What's your name?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Randy, I'm Stan's father, you met him back at the bus stop." Randy replied, "Oh, I know who you're talking about, it's nice to meet you." Sunset Shimmer said, "Uh, what are you doing?" King Thorax asked, since Randy was trying to give himself cancer, "It's... complicated to explain." Randy said, "Oh, well... we'll be going now." Ocellus replied, and they go to the next house, they saw Gumball and Darwin outside, "Oh, you two look so cute." Fluttershy said, "You guys new around here?" Gumball asked, "Hmm-mm, we're here to visit." Silverstream replied, "Well, I'm Darwin, and this is Gumball." Darwin said, "Are you a fish?" Fluttershy asked, "Yes, I grew legs, so I can walk on land." Darwin replied, "Wow, out of all of the animals I've seen, I've never seen a walking fish before." Fluttershy said, "Who's there?" Richard asked, he went to them, "Oh wow, you guys look just like the characters on our cereal box." Richard said, confusing everycreature except Sunset Shimmer, "What kind of cereal?" Sunset Shimmer asked, and Richard showed them, "That's a pig, dad." Gumball said, "What? It is? They look just like him." Richard replied, confusing the world's natives, "Does he have bad eyesight?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No, he's just dumb." Anais replied, "You are?" Princess Ember asked, "Anais, our sister, and smartest member of the family." Gumball replied, Anais smiled, the door opened and Nicole came out, "Oh, hi." Nicole said, the world's natives smiled, "That's our mom." Darwin said, "My name's Nicole, and I keep the family together." Nicole said, "Don't get on her bad side, she's has a bad temper." Gumball said, "What did you say about me?!" Nicole asked angrily, her face turns red and fire comes out, shocking the world's natives, "Uh... we'll be going now." Sandbar said, and they left while Watterson family tried to calm Nicole down, "Okay, that's the last place." Princess Celestia said, they look at the tree house, they were in awe. The world's natives go to it, and look on, "There's a bunch of rainbow monkeys coming to invade us." a male voice said, "Those aren't rainbow monkeys, they're... I don't know what they are." another male voice replied, "They seem to be new type of creatures we have never encountered, keep your guards up." a third male voice said, "Calm down, Numbah One, they don't look like they're here to harm us." a female voice replied, "I like the pastel colored ponies there, I'd like to have one." another female voice said, "Uh, excuse us." Twilight Sparkle said, and the five kids come out, "Who are you guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We are Sector V of the Kids Next Door, I'm Numbuh One, this sector's leader." Nigel replied, "I'm Numbuh Two, Sector V's two by four technology officer." Hoagie said, "I'm Numbuh Three, Sector V's diversionary tactician and medic, and you all look so cute." Kuki said, "I'm Numbuh Four, Sector V's hand-to-hand combat expert, and you all look like a bunch of rainbow monkeys to me." Wally said, "I'm Numbuh Five, Sector V's former leader and current second-in-command and spy." Abby said, "What? Why, you all are named after numbers." Rarity said, "They are our code names, we cannot reveal our real names." Nigel replied, "So, what is this Kids Next Door thing?" Rainbow Dash asked, "We are an interplanetary organization that battle the tyranny and cruelty of adults, so kids can be free from their cruelty and have fun being a kid." Nigel replied, the world's natives were confused, "You guys just said you're interplanetary, right?" Sandbar asked, "Yes, it is our job to make sure kids do not suffer under adults, we are just one sector of the entire organization, we have members all over our home world as well." Nigel replied, "Uh... I think... you guys are taking it a bit too far." Sunset Shimmer said, "Too far?! Our main enemy has fire powers!" Wally replied, "Fire powers, as in?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "He has literal pyrokinesis." Hoagie replied, shocking the world's natives, "Who is this fire magic using guy?" Grampa Gruff asked, "He's just known to us as Father." Abby replied, "Father?" Applejack asked, "Yes, he's a big meanie." Kuki replied, "What is he doing?" Ocellus asked, "He wants to destroy all kids stuff, so adults can rule the world with an iron fist." Nigel replied, "Destroy things for kids? That sounds hard to believe." Fluttershy said, "Maybe you'll change your mind when you do meet him." Hoagie replied, "Well, you kids go on and have fun with your games, we have to go home now." Princess Celestia said, and they do. The world's natives head back but stop when they see a multi-armed statue carved into the side of a mountain close to a beach, there was a house there as well, "Wait, what is that?" Princess Ember asked, "I'm curious as well, let's check it out really quickly." Princess Celestia replied, and Princess Celestia knocks on the door and it opens, they saw Steven Universe, "Yes?" Steven asked while smiling, "Oh, I remember you, I saw you walking around in the neighborhood." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, I saw you, too." Steven replied, "What's your name?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "I'm Steven, I live here with Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl." Steven replied, "My, what lovely names." Rarity said, "Who's out there, Steven?" Pearl asked as she stepped out with Garnet and Amethyst, surprising the world's natives, the dragons felt their mouths water, "What are you guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, "We are the Crystal Gems." Garnet replied, "We have been fighting and protecting this world for thousands of years." Amethyst said, "This world?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Yeah, they're aliens from another planet." Steven replied, "And you're a human?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Half human, my mom was the Crystal Gems' leader." Steven replied, "Where is your mother?" Princess Cadence asked, "Rose... gave up her life to give birth to Steven." Pearl replied, the world's natives were sympathetic, "Who's out there?" Bismuth asked, she came out along with Greg, "This is Bismuth, and my dad." Steven said, "Whoa, your hair looks awesome!" Rainbow Dash said as she looked at Bismuth's hair, "Hey guys, I run the car wash shop in this neighborhood." Greg said, "Where is it? Oh, there it is." Sunset Shimmer said, and they see the car wash, "Well, it's nice to meet you all, but we really have to go back home now." Princess Celestia said, "Alright, have a safe trip." Steven replied, "Why, thank you, I can already tell you're a good kid." Rarity replied, Steven smiled, and the world's natives began to head back home. The world's natives arrive back at where Volvox and the others lived, "Okay, you all are the last ones, go on and introduce yourselves?" Princess Celestia said, "I'm Young Reezy." Riley replied, "Young Reezy?" Applejack asked, "That's just what he calls himself, his name is Riley, I'm Huey, and that's our granddad." Huey replied, "Robert Freeman, at your service." Robert said, "Where are your parents?" Princess Cadence asked, "They died in an accident." Huey replied, "Where is grandma?" Yona asked, "We don't have a grandmom." Riley replied, "Who is this cute little angel here?" Princess Luna asked while smiling, "I'm Jazmine, I've always wanted a pony." Jazmine said, the ponies chuckle, "I'm Sarah, her mother." Sarah said, "And I'm Tom Dubois, district attorney and her father." Tom said, "Oh, you have the same job as Phoenix." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yes, but we don't work on the same cases together." Tom replied, "What about you guys?" Pinkie Pie asked, "I'm Mercer, former criminal turned hero." Mercer replied, "Name's Silver, I'm of noble blood." Silver said, "Rock, ex-military." Rock said, "Aero, homeless thief turned hero." Aero said, "I'm Alice, the one who was chosen to take down a villain, and unite these four." Alice said, "Where are you all from?" Gilda asked, "Oh, we're from another world, ours was full of magic." Aero replied, "Really? Our world has magic, too." Twilight Sparkle said, "Please, do tell us, what's magic like in your world?" Princess Celestia asked, "We have five elements, each element is controlled in one kingdom, Mercer's from the fire kingdom, Silver's from the water kingdom, Rock's from the earth kingdom, Aero's from the wind kingdom, and I'm from the lightning kingdom." Alice replied, "What are you guys?" Gabby asked, "I'm a magperson." Mercer replied, "A ningen." Silver said, "I'm a golem." Rock said, "I'm an aviator." Aero said, "I'm a human." Alice said, "What other creatures are in your world?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Humans who learn fire, water, earth, or wind magic evolve into different species', fire using humans become giants, water using humans become merfolk and nymphs, earth using humans become dwarfs, and wind using humans become elves and fairies, lightning using humans remain human." Aero replied, "Oh, that's nice to hear, who are you four?" Sunburst asked, "*sigh* I'm Orchid, this is Harvey, my husband, Nick, our son, and Lance, Nick's best friend, who he adopted." Orchid replied, "I'm sensing a lot of magic from her, everycreature." Princess Luna said, Orchid holds her right hand out and she shot a yellow beam with gray rocks in it out of her thumb, a small green tornado out of her pinky finger, red and orange fire out of her ring finger, blue water out of her index finger, and purple lightning out of her middle finger, Princess Cadence jumped in front of the five beams and activated a light blue shield, they disappeared after a few seconds, "There you have it, I'm from their world, too, I was one of the court wizards for that world's royal family." Orchid said, "Well, if you wish, Orchid, maybe you and our world can work together to create new magic." Princess Celestia said, "I'm not sure about that, I can tell your world's magic is completely different from our world's magic." Orchid replied, "What about you, Harvey and Lance?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We're from another world, too, but not the same world as these six, the one we're from is filled with technology, the natives there are humans, mutants, machines, and aliens called devilgors." Lance replied, "What happened to you two?" Shining Armor asked, "Experimented on against our wills, we were created to be the Ultimate Being, but since we became hybrids in the process, we were shunned and hunted down by that world's society to be killed, hybrids in my wife's world are admired instead." Harvey replied, "Ultimate Being?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Basically, be what we are, but also have your memories erased and brainwashed, that world's top scientist was planning to make us serve as his slave and personal assassin." Lance replied, "How many Ultimate Beings are there?" Rarity asked, "Three, I'm Ultimate Being One." Harvey replied, "I'm Ultimate Being Three." Lance said, "Wait a sec, who's Ultimate Being Two?" Applejack asked, and Nick flexed his arm muscles and his jacket, shirt, and boots ripped, while his pants ripped to halfway up his calves, he had the same mutations as Harvey and Lance, "I am." Nick replied, "So, why are there three of you guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I broke out and escaped, and fought my world's government before they could erase my memory and brainwash me." Harvey said, "They made me into one to replace my dad, but I broke free before they could erase my memory and brainwash me." Nick said, "My parents volunteered me against my will to be the third one after Nick escaped, but he saved me before they could erase my memory and brainwash me." Lance said, "I see, it's nice to see you three are safe, but we have to see the last four, it's late." Princess Celestia replied, and they go to them, "What's your name?" Pinkie Pie asked Giovi, he did not respond, "This is Giovi, he's a ghoul, last of his kind, he's not the type to talk, he believe his actions do the talking." the Count of Saint Germain said, "And you are?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "I am the Count of Saint Germain, I'm a time traveler." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "A time traveler?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, I am from three hundred years in the past, I came to this time to see my friends again." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Ah, how wonderful, and you two are?" Princess Celestia asked, "Dommiel, I'm a demon, my kind used to serve under Volvox here, and I was his second-in-command." Dommiel replied, "And you're Volvox, right?" Sunburst asked, "Yes." Volvox replied, "What are you?" Princess Ember asked, "The very first creature to ever exist on Earth, I used to be the supreme ruler of the world we're from, I retired about three hundred years ago." Volvox replied, "You look... familiar to me." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Now that you mention it, you look familiar, too." Volvox replied, "Ugh, I know how it is to have bad memory at old age." Grampa Gruff said, "Wait a minute, you look familiar, too." Volvox said, shocking the world's natives. The world's natives hear someone and saw a man acting like a little kid, "Who is that?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Oh, that's just Mr. Bean, he's a kid in an adult's body." Dommiel replied, Princess Celestia chuckled as she watched him, "I think he'd be a wonderful entertainer for the colts and fillies in Equestria, we should let him come over one day." Princess Celestia said, and the world's natives left the neighborhood and went home. The Mane Six, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer walk together, "I like that place, it's really nice over there." Applejack said, "Me too, I can't believe how many different types of creatures live there." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Me neither, they've got humans, a big Cerberus-like guy, a demon, a ghoul, humanoid cats, humanoid rabbits, a humanoid fish, a talking dog, a talking baby, a talking squirrel, and whatever those three Warner siblings are." Sunset Shimmer said, "I must say, I have never so many diverse creatures living in one area." Rarity said, "I have." Fluttershy replied, "That's because you live in a place full of animals, Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash said, "Isn't it exciting? So many creatures to be friends with!" Pinkie Pie said loudly, "I do not like their clothes, though, I find that sagging fashion to be disgusting." Rarity replied, the others agreed, "Well, it is nice to see Phoenix again." Spike said, "Phoenix?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Oh right, you haven't met him, yet, we'll show you him tomorrow." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I feel just like back in your world, Sunset." Starlight Glimmer said, "I feel that way, too." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Well, it's almost dark, let's get some sleep." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all go to sleep. Night time comes and the world's natives were woken up early in the night from chatting and glass clanging from the neighborhood, they look and see everybody at the Stray Sheep bar, so they go. The world's natives enter while Dragon Lord Torch crawled in partially, "Are those the new guys?" an unknown man with a brown jacket asked, "Yeah, that's them." Tom replied, the world's natives sees the people they've met already inside, along with new people, they were all either eating or drinking, "What is this place?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "This is the Stray Sheep bar, we all come here at night to relax after a long day." Volvox replied, "I must say, what a fancy bar." Rarity said, "Oh, there's Phoenix, this way, Sunset." Twilight Sparkle said, and the Mane Six go to him with Sunset Shimmer and Trixie. Phoenix was sitting with Athena and Trucy, the two were eating pizza, "Phoenix." Twilight Sparkle said, and Phoenix looks at them, "This is Sunset Shimmer, I met her after you left our world." Twilight Sparkle said, "Wait, another world?!" Phoenix asked, "Yup, the world I'm staying in is almost just like this one." Sunset Shimmer replied, "You know her, daddy?" Trucy asked, "Actually, no, but I know this one." Phoenix replied, "Feast your eyes upon the Great and Powerful Trixie." Trixie said, "Ooh, ooh, maybe we can do shows together." Trucy said, "Maybe." Phoenix replied while thinking about it, "How do you know her, boss?" Athena asked, "She's this land's prosecutor." Phoenix replied, "You're a prosecutor?!" Athena asked with shock, "One of Trixie's many jobs." Trixie replied, "We have three district attorneys in this neighborhood." Phoenix said, "You're one, and Tom's one, who's the third one?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "That's him right there." Phoenix replied as he pointed his left index finger to a man with short brown hair and a gray business suit, "Who is that?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Jimmy McGill." Phoenix replied, "Well, let's go see him." Twilight Sparkle said, and they do while Starlight Glimmer, Spike, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and the Student Six joined them. Jimmy McGill was conversing with an old man and a black man, "Excuse us." Twilight Sparkle said, and the three look at them, "We're from the world around here, who are you guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Jimmy McGill, district attorney at law." Jimmy said, "Mike Ehrmantraut, head of Los Pollos Hermanos' security." the old man said, "Oh yeah, we saw that when we were exploring." Spike said, "I am the restaurant's owner, Gustavo, but you can call me Gus." the black man replied, "What do you guys serve?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "The neighborhood's best chicken, one taste and you will know." Gus replied, the ponies were very uncomfortable with eating chicken or meat in general, "What are you guys doing here?" Sweetie Belle asked, "The same reason as everyone else here, we're here to unwind after a long day." Mike replied, "So, you're all here every night?" Scootaloo asked, "Pretty much, yeah, we just talk about our days." Jimmy replied, "That's cool, but we have to get going now." Rainbow Dash said, "Good day then, it was a pleasure to meet you all." Gus replied, "Thank you, and I must admit, Jimmy and Gus, your outfits look lovely." Rarity said, "Thanks, I have a closet full of them." Jimmy replied, Rarity chuckled and they went to the man sitting to Gus' right, he had a black sleeveless jacket on, "Sons of Anarchy, MC, California?" Twilight Sparkle asked with confusion, "Oh, I know what he is, he's a member of a motorcycle club." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Uh, motorcycle?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I'll tell you later, I've rode one before, it's awesome." Sunset Shimmer replied, the man turns around and looks at them, "What can I get you ladies?" the man asked, Fluttershy cowered in fear, the scars on his cheeks scared her, "Who are you?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Name's Chibs, I'm the president of the Sons of Anarchy motorcycle club." the man replied, "What happened to your cheeks?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Got cut by knives there many years ago by an old enemy." Chibs replied, "Oh, well, um, what do you and your club do?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Can't share, it's not appropriate for kids." Chibs replied, "Oh, I must say, that's a nice beard and moustache you have." Rarity said, "Thank you, I work a lot to keep it like this." Chibs replied, "Well, was nice to meet you, Chibs, but we have to get going." Twilight Sparkle said, "Enjoying the customers so far?" the bartender asked, the world's natives look at him and see he had on a white long-sleeve dress shirt with a collar, a black bow tie under the collar, a white double breasted jacket with three buttons at the end of each sleeve, black pants, and brown dress shoes, he had an oblong face shape with a triangular shaped chin, he had short but well groomed gray hair, and a thin gray moustache, one thing the world's natives thought was strange was that he was wearing sunglasses, "Who is this?" Ocellus asked, "This is the bartender." Mike replied, "We don't know his name, so we just call him Boss." Jimmy said, "Would you all like a drink?" Boss asked, "What are you serving?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Rum and cola, whiskey, sake, or beer." Boss replied, "Sorry, but we don't drink alcohol." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Well, go on then, since you wish to see everyone here." Boss said, and they do. The world's natives hear arguing and see Bart arguing with a woman with short red hair and was wearing a yellow dress, "You know the rules, Bart, no alcohol for children." the waitress said, "Come on, Erica, you know I'm only ten years old in body, I'm actually twenty nine years old." Bart replied, "Nope, you're still a child, no alcohol for you." Erica said, "Come on now, you can serve me some alcohol." Riley said, "I'd like a martini." Brian said, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no alcohol for dogs, either." Erica replied, "Oh." Bart said with disappointment, "Can I have a doughnut?" Homer asked, "Doughnut shop is further down the street." Erica replied, "D'oh!" Homer said, and Erica walked back. The Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Student Six, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Spike walk to the booths and bumped into Erica, "You guys the new people?" Erica asked, "Why, yes, we are." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I'm Erica, I'm the waitress here." Erica said, "Oh, I think your outfit could use a redesign." Rarity said, "I like it the way it is." Erica replied, "That reminds me, Boss, can I use your outfit as inspiration for one of my fashion shows?" Rarity asked, "Yes, go on right ahead." Boss replied, "Why, thank you, darling, I cannot say how much I like your outfit." Rarity said, Boss smiled, and they went to the next nearest man, who was playing the Rapunzel arcade game, "Excuse us." Twilight Sparkle said, and he turned around, he had dyed blond hair, "Hi." the man said, they look and saw he had a Teacher of the Year Award with him, "Ei...ki...chi?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Eikichi Onizuka, I'm a teacher at this neighborhood's school." the man said, "Oh, you're a teacher?! These six here are our teachers." Silverstream replied, "What do you teach?" Onizuka asked, "Friendship." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I like the sound of that." Onizuka said, "Well, we'll be looking forward to see how you teach." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they go near the jukebox, they saw the Powerpuff Girls with a man, "Oh, hi there, nice to see you all again." Bubbles said, "Who is this?" Fluttershy asked, "I am Professor Utonium, the girls' creator and father, I'm a scientist." the man replied, "Really? That's amazing, maybe you and I can make some inventions together." Twilight Sparkle said, "Uh, where is the mother?" Rarity asked, "We don't have a mother." Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup replied together, "Oh, well, professor, if you want, we can act as a surrogate mother for them." Fluttershy said, "It's fine, but thank you." Professor Utonium replied, and they walk away. The Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer go to the four men they saw inside first, "Oh, hello." the man in the brown jacket said, "Hello." Sandbar replied, "What are yer names?" Apple Bloom said, "I'm Vincent." the man with the small black afro replied, "I'm Orlando, lady's man." the man with the red hat said, "Name's Jonny." the man in the brown jacket said, "And I'm Toby." the man in the blue jumpsuit said, "You okay, Vincent? You don't look so good." Ocellus said, "Sorry, I've been having problems." Vincent replied, "What kind of problems?" Smolder asked, "His girlfriend wants to tie the knot and marry him, but he isn't ready for that." Jonny replied, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence were surprised, and they walk to him, "Vincent?" Shining Armor asked, Vincent looks at the two, "Do you plan to marry her as well?" Shining Armor asked, "Well, I'm comfortable where we are now, but she isn't." Vincent replied, "What is your girlfriend's name?" Princess Cadence asked, "Katherine." Vincent replied, "You should talk to her, Vincent, let her know how you feel." Princess Cadence said, "I know, I know, but I'm worried about what she'll say." Vincent replied, "Well, good luck on yer romance, sugar cube, Ah'm sure she'll come around." Applejack said, "Hey, how has the investigation been coming along, guys?" Jonny asked two males across from him and his friends, "Still no leads, we haven't found anything." a man with a revolver said, "Nope, I haven't found anything, either." a man with a knife said, "Who are those two?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Harry Callahan and Dexter Morgan, the two best cops in our law enforcement." Volvox replied, "We're getting a third cop transferred to us soon, she should be here soon." Dexter said, Dragon Lord Torch sees a woman, she had on a black leather jacket, blue jeans, brown shoes, a white shirt, blue eyes, and scapula length blonde hair, he moved out of the way so she can enter. Everybody sees her, "Is this the place?" the woman asked, "Are you the transfer cop?" Dommiel asked, "Yes, Aya Brea, police." the woman replied, "Callahan and Morgan are over there." the Count of Saint Germain said, and she went to them, "Uh, is something going on?" Rainbow Dash asked, "There has been a lot of deaths recently, men who are over thirty and have cheated on their wives or girlfriends have been dying in their sleep recently." Volvox replied, shocking the world's natives, Shining Armor was especially uncomfortable, "You know, that Mike guy over there used to be a cop too, he retired years ago." Huey said, surprising the world's natives, "How did you get here, even though we transferred to another world?" Harry asked, "I stayed at the apartment that Vincent guy over there stays at, I met the other three residents there as well." Aya replied, "Other three residents?" Pinkie Pie asked, "She's talking about us." a man said in the booth behind Volvox and Dommiel, they saw the man, there was another man there, he had a bandage on his left pinky finger, and a boy, "You are?" Yona asked, "Lucas Kane." the man replied, they see the man with the bandage on his left pinky finger had a Father of the Year award, they see his name was Ethan Mars, "Oh my, a Father of the Year award, how did you get that, Ethan?" Rarity asked, "I don't wanna talk about it." Ethan replied, "And who is this cute little feller here?" Applejack asked, "I'm Shaun, Ethan's my dad." the boy replied, "Where is your mom?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Mom and dad divorced." Shaun replied, "Aren't you a bit young to be here?" Gallus asked, "Some of the people here are younger than me." Shaun replied, and they look around and saw he was right. The world's natives hear arguing and saw three boys, they go to them, "Hey, look, it's my sister Sarah's old pets." the tall boy said, "We're not pets." Rainbow Dash replied, "Yeah, get it right, you dummy." the short boy said, "Guys, relax, I think they're just here to see hi." the boy with the hat said, "Who are you guys?" Sandbar asked, "That's Ed, I'm Edd with two Ds, I'm known as Double D, and that's Eddy." the boy with the hat replied, "They're from the neighboring neighborhood to this one's left, they must've been here when we got transferred." Volvox said, a pod spaceship in and surprises everyone, they saw a man and a boy, "Damn it, Morty, you crashed again." the man said, "I don't understand, Rick, I did what you said." Morty replied, "Wait a minute." Rainbow Dash said, and she goes to them, "I remember you two, you guys were at the roller coaster in Las Pegasus." Rainbow Dash said, "Yeah, we were, *burp* I didn't see you, though. *burp*" Rick replied, Rarity exclaimed with disgust, "We have a neighborhood to the right as well, they'll come here if bad things happen." Volvox said, "How many more people are there?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Those four over there are the last ones, they're from another country." Dommiel replied, he pointed his right index finger to four guys sitting on the floor. The Mane Six go to them, "Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle said, they look at them, "Who are you guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I am Takeshi Hongo." one man said, "Hayato Ichimonji." another man said, "You can just call me Taki." the third man said, "And I'm Tachibana." the last man said, "What brings you guys here?" Fluttershy asked, "We have found activity of Shocker in this neighborhood, they are a criminal organization trying to change everyone into cyborgs so they can rule the world." Takeshi replied, "Well... good luck on them, y'all." Applejack said, and they go back. Dragon Lord Torch sees a man coming and he moves out of the way to let him in, everybody sees him, and everybody bowed to him except for Aya and the world's natives, "Who is that?" Aya asked, "Vito Corleone, the most powerful person in the neighborhood." Volvox replied, "My, I must say, what a lovely outfit and rose you have there." Rarity said, "Thank you, I have heard about you newcomers, and welcome to the neighborhood." Vito replied, and he goes around and everybody kisses his right hand, "What are you guys doing?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It is how we greet him." Jazmine replied, surprising the world's natives, he sat, Erica took Vito's orders and he had a glass of red wine. The world's natives look around and see there was plenty of people, a stage appears and everybody watches, "And now, for your first form of entertainment, a song, featuring the Great Wakkorotti and Mr. Methane." a male announcer said, the curtains raises while everybody clapped, they saw Wakko and a man in a green costume and purple shorts laying down with his legs up. Yakko plays La Donna E Mobile on the piano and Wakko burps the song while Mr. Methane farts the song, Rarity exclaimed with great shock while the people in the bar, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Big Macintosh, Sandbar, Gallus, Yona, Smolder, Ocellus, Silverstream, Limestone Pie, Doctor Whooves, Derpy, Grampa Gruff, Gilda, Gabby, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna laughed, the others were neutral, "You suck, Mr. Methane, Black Dynamite can let out bigger farts than you." Black Dynamite said, everybody shushed him, they continued until they finished and everybody clapped, they walked off of the stage, "Our next performance is by Mr. Bean." an announcer said, and Mr. Bean appeared on stage as the curtain raised, Mr. Bean does things without speaking and caused trouble, everybody laughed at Mr. Bean's performance, he was hitting a shopping bag full of groceries with a golf club because there was a golf ball in it, and he could not touch it, Mr. Bean got the golf ball in the end and everybody clapped as the curtains went down, Mr. Bean runs around on stage and everybody laughs until he was taken off, "Next up is Courage the Cowardly Dog." the announcer said, and everybody saw him, "A pink dog?" Applejack asked with surprise, "I think he's pretty." Fluttershy said, and Courage performs magic tricks, everybody clapped, Courage bowed and went off the stage, "Our next performance is by Uncle Ruckus." the announcer said, and everybody saw him, Rarity exclaimed with shock, "Look at how fat he is." Rarity said, "Good evening, y'all, my name is Uncle Ruckus, no relation..." Uncle Ruckus said, he begins saying racist things, which shocked everyone, the world's natives covered the ears of the younger ones since Uncle Ruckus said inappropriate things and used swear words, he finished and went off the stage, "Last performance tonight is by Roger." the announcer said, and Roger appeared as the curtains went up, Roger makes fire, water, earth, and wind float around, shocking the world's natives, "Twilight, and the rest of you, be careful, I'm sensing tremendous power from him." Princess Celestia said, "Well, that's pretty much everyone, the only people left here are those animals there." Volvox said, and they all saw Slappy Squirrel again, along with Skippy Squirrel. The world's natives were shocked by how many people there were, they saw Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, Tom DuBois, Sarah DuBois, Jazmine DuBois, Huey Freeman, Riley Freeman, Robert Freeman, Uncle Ruckus, Black Dynamite, Bullhorn, Cream Corn, Honey Bee, Shake, Frylock, Meatwad, Carl Brutananadilewski, Homer Simpson, Marge Simpson, Bart Simpson, Lisa Simpson, Maggie Simpson, Snowball V, Santa's Little Helper, Peter Griffin, Lois Griffin, Chris Griffin, Meg Griffin, Stewie Griffin, Brian Griffin, Glenn Quagmire, Cleveland Brown, Joe Swanson, Rick Sanchez, Morty Smith, Phineas Flynn, Ferb Fletcher, Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, Baljeet Tjinder, Buford Van Stomm, Gumball Watterson, Darwin Watterson, Anais Watterson, Nicole Watterson, Richard Watterson, Bubbles, Blossom, Buttercup, Professor Utonium, Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, Kenny McCormick, Randy Marsh, Mordecai, Rigby, Ed, Edd, Eddy, Nigel Uno, Hoagie Gilligan, Kuki Sanban, Wally Beetles, Abby Lincoln, Eikichi Onizuka, Lucas Kane, Ethan Mars, Shaun Mars, Phoenix Wright, Athena Cykes, Trucy Wright, Jimmy McGill, Mike Ehrmantraut, Gus Fring, Chibs Telford, Vito Corleone, Takeshi Hongo, Hayato Ichimonji, Kazuya Taki, Tobei Tachibana, Mr. Bean, Harry Callahan, Dexter Morgan, Aya Brea, Yakko Warner, Wakko Warner, Dot Warner, Bobby, Pesto, Squit, Buttons, Mindy, Rita, Runt, Slappy Squirrel, Skippy Squirrel, Billy, Mandy, Grim, Steven Universe, Greg Universe, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Bismuth, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Vincent Brooks, Orlando Haddick, Jonny Ariga, Toby Nebbins, Erica Anderson, Boss, Harvey, Orchid, Nick, Lance, Alice, Mercer, Silver, Rock, Aero, and Roger. Closing time comes and it was time for everyone to go home, and they did, everybody was leaving, "Twilight, and the rest of you, be very careful, I'm getting feelings of suspicion from Gus and that bartender, I believe those two are hiding very dark secrets." Princess Celestia said, the world's natives took note of it and they all headed home for the night. Princess Luna enters the dream realm and watches the dreams, "Ah, another beautiful night." Princess Luna said, and she looks at the dream realm, the dreams of the neighborhood were also in her dream realm since they were merged with Ponyville. Princess Luna watches the dreams but soon noticed something very off, "What the?! What is this?!" Princess Luna asked with shock, she saw a dream and noticed a lot of people there, she saw Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, Carl, Phoenix, Mr. Bean, Yakko, Wakko, Vincent, Orlando, and Jonny in the dream, they were all pushing blocks around and climbing, there were sheep there as well. Princess Luna tries to use her magic and enter the dream, but she could not, "What kind of sorcery is this?!" Princess Luna asked, she tried to enter but was denied every time, which angered her, her anger eventually fuses all dreams together, the ponies of Equestria go to Princess Luna to see her, "What's wrong, Princess Luna?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I am trying to enter this dream here so I can fix it, but I am being denied access!" Princess Luna replied, they look and see the dream, much to their shocks, "What in tarnation?" Applejack asked, "Look, there's Phoenix!" Pinkie Pie said, "Why are they climbing for, though?" Spike asked, they hear falling and saw the bottom of the place was falling, Volvox and Dommiel were the first ones to make it to the top, Volvox uses his telekinesis to bring everybody up. Everybody rested and Vincent went to them to support them and encourage them to move on, "Thanks, Vincent, we'll rest here for now, you go on ahead." Phoenix said, and they saw Vincent enters a booth, "We meet again, lost little lamb." a male child's voice said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's just skip the greetings and get to the question." Vincent said, "Very well, here's the question." the child's voice replied, "This is the question." a male voice said, the ponies realize it was the same voice as the one that announced the shows in the Stray Sheep, "You must kiss one of these. Choose." the voice said, and two ropes came down, which scared Vincent, they both had white words in front of them, "A cephelopod-like alien." the rope to Vincent's right said, "A beautiful corpse." the rope to Vincent's left said, Rarity exclaimed with shock, "Neither one is appealing!" Rarity said, "I think he has to choose one, Rarity." Applejack replied, and Vincent chose the cephelopod-like alien, "So that's your answer, interesting." the child's voice said, "Just take me to the next level already." Vincent replied, "Very well, up we go." the child's voice said, and they do. Vincent arrives at the next area and it was snowing with ice blocks, Vincent tries to run but he slides on the ice, "Hey, that looks fun." Pinkie Pie said, the other males soon arrived and they all climb together, along with pushing the blocks and they connect at the edges, "What the? That defies the laws of physics." Twilight Sparkle said, "I don't think this is an ordinary dream, it seems some kind of magical being is making them have them." Princess Luna replied, Vincent keeps climbing and made several sheep fall to the bottom, they screamed as they fell, it shocked the ponies, they also saw blocks with spikes, which activated when someone stepped on them, and dark blocks that were heavy, they soon heard a bell ringing, "Little more." Vincent said, and he keeps climbing, "I made it!" Vincent said as cheering was heard, "Here I go." Vincent said as he pulled the chain, and stairs appeared, "Yeah." Vincent said, and he climbed to the next floor. Vincent arrives at the landing and saw the others were there, "What?! How did they make it?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "It seems we are only seeing one part of this realm, and there are more parts to it." Princess Celestia replied, "I see you made it, Vincent." Volvox said, "Yeah, the terrain's rough today." Vincent replied, "Want to join us? Volvox, Dommiel, and I are coming up with new moves." Phoenix said, "Actually, all of us have, we've been playing a game who can come up with the most moves." Dommiel replied, "Yeah, so far, Saint Germain here has come up with the most moves." Phoenix said, "Well, I guess." Vincent replied, and they do, "Well, I'll be going now. I still wonder who that guy in the window is." Vincent said, "I've been wondering too, Vincent, but I think it may be one of the demons who served under me when was the planet's ruler." Volvox replied, "Really? Okay then." Vincent said, and he goes into the confessional booth and sits, "Welcome back, lost little lamb, I'm surprised you made it this far." the child's voice said, "Just shut up and ask the question." Vincent replied, "Very well." the child's voice said, and the question was asked with the rope falling, Vincent chooses, "Good luck on the next part, you have to face your fears once again." the child's voice said, "Just take me already." Vincent replied, and he flew up, "Okay, let's get this over with." Vincent said, and he heard a female's voice, "Katherine?" Vincent asked, and he saw Doom's Bride appear, which made him and the ponies and Spike scream with fear, "A wedding dress?!" Vincent asked, "I'll kill you!" Doom's Bride said, and Vincent was already climbing, he dodged the avalanches and flying blocks while the ponies and Spike watched nervously, he makes it to the top and opens the door, the white light appears and it destroys Doom's Bride, "Yeah, I beat this night baby!" Vincent said, and he went into it and the door closed, "Oh, it's almost daytime, time to wake up, everypony." Princess Luna said, and they exit the dream realm. The next morning comes and Volvox was looking at Vincent from outside, he saw Vincent in his apartment, only wearing his white and pink polka dotted boxer shorts, he saw a woman in there with him, he realized it was Catherine, he knew exactly what she was, but he does not know who sent her. Everybody in the neighborhood was awake and the Mane Six go to Volvox, "If it's okay with you guys, can we all explore this place as well?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Of course, you'll all be welcomed here." Dommiel replied, "Oh, this is so exciting, so many different types of creatures, I can't wait to learn about all of them." Twilight Sparkle said, they look and saw Shake, Frylock, Meatwad, and Carl were outside, they look and saw Meatwad exercising by walking, "Hey, Meatwad, look, I got some gummy bears over here." Shake said, "I want some." Meatwad replied, "Ooh, I want some gummy bears." Pinkie Pie said, and she ran to Shake, and the two eat them, Meatwad walks back to Frylock, "*pant* *pant* I don't seem to getting in shape." Meatwad said, "Well, maybe if you walk to Shake, and not eat the gummy bears, you'll see some results, Meatwad." Frylock replied, "It doesn't matter how much you exercise, Meat Man, you're gonna die, anyway." Carl said, Applejack ran to him, "Hey! Stop that!" Applejack said, "You mean, I'm gonna die, no matter how much I exercise?" Meatwad asked, "That's right, you need to lose weight like how I do, with this." Carl replied, and he shows them an energy bar, "The South Bronx Parasite Diet." Carl said, "I wanna try." Meatwad said, "Meatwad, wait." Twilight Sparkle said, and she runs to it, she looks at the energy bar, "This doesn't look healthy." Twilight Sparkle said, "She's right, Meatwad, the proper way to lose weight is to have a balanced diet." Frylock said, "I can help." Steven said as he ran to Meatwad, "Why, hello, Steven, that'd be nice of you." Frylock replied, "I also brought a snack for Spaghetti." Steven said, and he had lasagna, "Who's Spaghetti?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "That's me, dummy." a voice that sounded just like Carl replied, they see Spaghetti, he was a dog that had the same tan lines, sandals, hair, and gold chain as Carl. Pinkie Pie and Rarity screamed out of shock, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy went to Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie, the six look at Spaghetti with shock, "What is this?!" Rarity asked, "It's my pet dog." Carl replied and chuckled a bit, "I've never seen an animal like this before." Fluttershy said, "Where in tarnation did you get this?" Applejack asked, "Hey, we have a pet dog too, come on out, Hand Banana." Shake said, and he appeared, the Mane Six screamed out of shock, "Nice to meet you six, too." Hand Banana said, "What the? He looks like he's a part of that guy's hand." Rainbow Dash said, "How did you guys get these?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Oh, we just used that Make Your Own Dog thing in Carl's pool over there." Meatwad replied, and they see it, "That doesn't look safe." Twilight Sparkle said, "I said the same thing when I first saw it. Come on, Meatwad, let's exercise." Steven replied, and they do, "I wanna go!" Pinkie Pie said, and she hopped with them. Three pigeons fly down in the road and begin eating, "Aw." Fluttershy said, she flew to them, they were Bobby, Squit, and Pesto, "You three look so cute." Fluttershy said, "What do you mean by that?" Pesto asked, "Uh, I just said you look cute." Fluttershy replied, "Cute? You think I'm cute?" Pesto asked, "Uh, yes." Fluttershy replied, "You're saying I'm cute? Like I'm so kind of mamby-pamby diaper wearin' baby? Is that what you're saying?" Pesto asked, "No, I'm just saying you look cute." Fluttershy replied, "That's it! Come here!" Pesto said, and he begins attacking Fluttershy, "Pesto! Chill!" Squit said while Bobby laughed. The ponies and Squit join in and separate Fluttershy and Pesto, Fluttershy was beaten and crying while Pesto tried to attack her, "I'll show you cute! You yellow over sized horse brain!" Pesto said, "What is your problem?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "I am so sorry, he has a very bad temper." Squit replied, "Yeah, Pesto's always like that." Bobby said, "You're a meanie!" Fluttershy said to Pesto angrily, "What do you mean by that?" Pesto asked, "You heard me!" Fluttershy replied angrily, "I'm a meanie? I'm some kind of fat and ugly person like Eric Cartman? Like a purple wearing suited clown like the Joker?" Pesto asked, "Yes!" Fluttershy replied angrily, "That's it!" Pesto said, and he began attacking Fluttershy again, Bobby and Squit pull him away, Fluttershy was more battered, "You all really should put a leash on him." Rarity said, "What are your names?" Pinkie Pie asked, "I'm Squit, and that's Bobby." Squit replied, Bobby and Pesto laugh at Squit's name, "Come on, everypony, let's have everycreature explore this neighborhood, I think we can all make a lot of friends here." Twilight Sparkle said, they others agreed and they went back. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs begin interacting with the neighborhood, there was something for everyone, but the world's natives saw a new group of creatures, the kirins, "Hi, guys, I'm Autumn Blaze, I'm a kirin, I like to talk and sing and..." Autumn Blaze said, and she went on and on, "That's nice, but we have to get on with our days." Volvox replied, "I heard all about you guys, I'm a really good singer too, wanna hear me sing a song?" Autumn Blaze asked, Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and the Warner Siblings just look at her, "Better not be My Sex Junk." Dommiel said, a chord was struck in Autumn Blaze, she screams with rage and becomes a nirik with fire around her, "I guess that's a sore spot for her." Dot said, "You should meet Katie Ka-Boom." Yakko said, and a house in the neighborhood exploded behind the Warner Siblings, "Can you sing all fifty states and capitals, Autumn Blaze?" Wakko asked, and Autumn Blaze changed back to normal, she tried but did not even know the first one. Wakko takes out his gag bag and pulls a map of the United States out, "Here, maybe this will help." Wakko said, and he handed it to her, Pinkie Pie dashed to him, "Ooh, what else is in here?" Pinkie Pie asked, and she looks through the gag bag, Wakko reaches in and pulls out a big wooden mallet, he hits Pinkie Pie with it and she screams, "Hey! That hurt!" Pinkie Pie said as she walked down the streets to Wakko, the Warner Siblings were startled to see her, "Yipe!" the Warner Siblings said, and they run away and Ralph runs after them, they ignore it and Autumn Blaze begins to sing while Pinkie Pie plays music. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were at their clubhouse and waiting for Scootaloo, "Where's Scootaloo?" Sweetie Belle asked, "There she is." Apple Bloom replied, and they see their friend, which was actually a giant chicken wearing a wig that was the same shape and color of Scootaloo's mane, "What took ya so long, Scootaloo?" Apple Bloom asked, the chicken clucked, "Oh, you want us to call you Scoota-Boo? Okay." Sweetie Belle asked, and the three have fun by playing. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scoota-Boo go to the neighborhood to meet the residents, they were having fun sightseeing, "HEY!!" Scootaloo said as she rode her scooter to them, "This is an impostor! I'm Scootaloo!" Scootaloo said angrily, "For real?" Apple Bloom asked, "Really?" Sweetie Belle asked, "How can you two not see it?! He's a chicken!" Scootaloo said, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle look at Scoota-Boo, "No, he ain't." Apple Bloom said, Scootaloo growled, she flapped her wings a little and flew up a bit, and fell, but she got the wig off of the chicken. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle look at him with surprise, "He really is a chicken!" Sweetie Belle said, the chicken clucked, "Uh-huh! There you are!" Peter said from afar, he tackles the chicken down and begins to beat it up, shocking the Cutie Mark Crusaders, "No, wait, Peter." Brian said as he ran to him, Peter stopped, "That's Chicken Boo, Ernie's over there." Brian said as he pointed his right index finger, they see Ernie glaring at Peter, the two run to one another and begin fighting. Peter and Ernie move around as they destroy the environment and cause heavy collateral damage, "No! Stop it!" Fluttershy said angrily, "That's enough! Break it up!" Rainbow Dash said angrily, Fluttershy restrains Ernie while Rainbow Dash restrains Peter, "You should be ashamed of yourself!" Fluttershy said angrily, but Ernie slaps her with his right hand and she screams as she falls, "Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash said as she flew down to catch her. Peter and Ernie continue fighting, they were still in the construction sight, they move around and cause collateral damage in the area, some of the metal beams almost fall on the construction workers, "That's enough!" Rarity said as she and Twilight Sparkle separate Peter and Ernie, and bring them down, "What are y'all doin'?!" Applejack asked, "We always fight." Ernie replied, "Yeah, it's kind of a thing with us." Peter said, "Well, shame on you, shame on you, too, Chicken Boo, you should know better not to disguise yourself as someone." Fluttershy said, Chicken Boo clucked, "What is he saying?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I actually don't understand him." Fluttershy replied, surprising everypony, "Come on, you two." Fluttershy said, and Ernie and Chicken Boo follow her, she gives them a reprimanding and they leave, Fluttershy flew back, "They actually have homes, so I can't adopt them." Fluttershy said, "Let's go have fun!" Pinkie Pie replied excitedly, and they all go their separate ways. Sunburst walks around and saw Frylock and Rick working on something, "What are you guys doing?" Sunburst asked as he trotted to them, "Who *burp* is this?" Rick asked, "They are from the new area around us, Rick." Frylock replied, "I'm Sunburst, I study magic." Sunburst said, "Well, I'm sorry, Sunburst, but what we're doing involves science, not magic." Frylock replied, "Actually, I study science, too. What are you guys doing?" Sunburst asked, "We are reversing this device since it brought us here, we're trying to have it send us back." Rick replied, "Really? Maybe I can help." Sunburst said, "That would be really nice, Sunburst, come over here and say what you can do to help."

Flim and Flam snicker while they return back to their scam, a man with short hair, a beard and moustache, a gray baseball cap, sunglasses, a green short sleeve shirt, blue jeans, and white shoes goes to them, which was actually Jimmy in disguise, "Hey, guys, I'd like to buy all of those toys there." Jimmy said, "Uh, what's with the outfit?" Flim asked, "Oh, I'm a news reporter, Saul Goodman." Jimmy replied, "Well, 'Saul', you said you want all of our toys here, hope you got the money." Flam said, "I do, it's right here." Jimmy replied, and he gives them chocolate coins wrapped in gold wrappers shaped like coins, "Here you go." Flim said as he gave Jimmy a toy for each fake coin he gave them, they were soon sold out, "Alright, thank you." Jimmy replied, and the two head to Las Pegasus to buy the resort.

Bullhorn said, "Yeah, we want it changed." Token Black said, they all complain, "Guys, I'm sorry, but you are the only group of people complaining." Volvox said, "I agree it should be changed, too." a male voice said, they look and saw PC Principal, "That flag is racist and offensive, I demand a new flag as well." PC Principal said, "Guys, wait!"

Steven said, and Roger flew out and got it, it was a yellow flag, he unfolds it and reveals there five stick figures in the flag, the stick figure in the center was black and hanging from a noose while the other stick figures were white and cheering. The world's natives see the flag and were shocked, Pinkie Pie screamed with shock when she saw it, "I agree with them, it needs to be changed." Steven said, "This flag represents the unfair racism and suffering they have received from white people during the times of slavery and segregation, I say we change the flag." PC Principal said, the black residents of the neighborhood agree, "I'm sorry, guys, but you all are only a few in the neighborhood, everybody else agrees the flag should stay the way it is." Volvox replied, "No!" Princess Celestia said very sternly from behind Volvox, he turns around and sees her walking forward, "I may not understand your ways, but I can tell this flag is very offensive, I can clearly see it depicts a person being executed, and the others cheering. I do not like this flag, and demand you change it to one that is welcoming of all creatures." Princess Celestia said, "Man, nobody cares about you guys, this about us." Robert replied, "Wait, granddad, I think it'll be best if we go along with her." Huey said, "Why didn't you do anything about this flag when it was created?" Princess Celestia asked, "It was made after I retired from being the ruler." Volvox replied, "You still didn't do anything?" Princess Celestia asked, "Couldn't." Volvox replied, "As we were saying, guys, you all are the only ones who are complaining, which is still a minority in the neighborhood." Dommiel said, "Well, I agree it should be changed. How about you, Roger? Roger?"

Rigby said, and Sunset Shimmer tries the Whip and Terminate course again, Sunset Shimmer beats it but got a silver medal, she was angry, "Relax, Sunset, it's a silver medal, you passed."

Nigel asked, "Actually, most of the people we don't get along with are our age." Apple Bloom replied, "It's alright, we understand, our main enemies are within our age group, too." Abby said, "Really?" Apple Bloom asked, "Yeah, the Delightful Children From Down The Lane, they live in the neighborhood Ed, Edd, and Eddy come from, so I'd doubt they'd be here." Abby replied, "Well, Ah lead the other two, Ah was hopin' y'all two could give me some tips on bein' a better leader." Apple Bloom said, "Very well, watch and learn, Apple Bloom."

Hoagie said, Scootaloo trotted to him, "How's the device coming?" Scootaloo asked, they were making a scooter with makeshift thrusters from soda cans, "I appreciate your advice, Scootaloo, I think these soda cans will make great thrusters." Hoagie said, "Thrusters? I thought we were adding flaming stickers onto it!" Wally replied, much to Scootaloo's bewilderment, "He's always like that, he's our best fighter, but the dumbest member." Hoagie said, "I noticed that." Scootaloo replied, and she and Hoagie keep working to make the makeshift thrusters, Hoagie puts on the finishing touches while Scootaloo went to go play fight with Wally again.

Vito replied, and Princess Celestia sat across from him, "What is the matter?" Vito asked, "It is about the neighborhood's flag." Princess Celestia replied, "Yes, I have heard, complaints about that flag has started recently, it was perfectly okay at the time it was made." Vito said, "What?" Princess Celestia asked with shock and surprise, "You heard me, at the time we put up that flag, nobody complained about it." Vito replied, "It's still wrong, that flag needs to go, and it's not just my country complaining, every country in this world is complaining about it." Princess Celestia said, "I understand you all do things differently, but the majority of the neighborhood thinks the flag is okay, so until the votes of it to change outweighs the votes of the flag being fine, it's staying." Vito replied, Princess Celestia had an idea, "Can the natives of this world have a saying in it?" Princess Celestia asked, "Of course, we already have many different beings in this neighborhood, I don't see any harm in more coming in." Vito replied, "Thank you, uh, um... what is your title?" Princess Celestia asked, "Don." Vito replied, Princess Celestia was surprised, she has never heard of that title before, "I've also heard the others call you something else." Princess Celestia said, "Yes, that's my other title, Godfather." Vito replied, "Godfather?" Princess Celestia asked, she has never heard of such a title, "I assume you don't have the title in your land if you don't know it." Vito said, "Actually, no country in this world has Godfather as a title." Princess Celestia replied, "I see, is there anything else you'd like to discuss?" Vito asked, "No, that was all." Princess Celestia replied, "Alright, I bid you farewell, then." Vito said, Princess Celestia bowed to him and left the room.

Roger said, and they all see the King of All Cosmos appear, shocking everycreature, they could not believe it, he was even bigger than Volvox, "What is it, We are quite busy right now." the King of All Cosmos said, "The stars and moon are missing, Your Majesty." Volvox replied, "Yes, We have noticed, Our deepest apologies, Volvox, Our son is currently replacing them." the King of All Cosmos said, "What happened to them?" Bubbles asked as she, Blossom, and Buttercup flew up to the King of All Cosmos, screaming was heard in the sky and everybody saw Ignignokt and Err floating in the sky while spinning clockwise, "Uh, you see, We were heading home while drunk, and ended up crashing into the stars and destroying them, before hitting the moon." the King of All Cosmos, Princess Celestia gave him a look of disapproval while Applejack shook her head, "So that's what happened, I thought the president and vice president were plotting something to take over the world." Slappy Squirrel said, "So, when are the stars and moon going to be back?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "Our son is working on it, We started using the Katamari in different parts of the neighborhood." the King of All Cosmos replied, "Wait, Kids Next Door, try to contact the moon base." Nigel said, and they do, "Negative, Numbuh One, I'm not getting a reading." Hoagie replied, "Oh no, Lapis!" Steven said with worry, "It's alright, Steven, I'm right here." Lapis Lazuli replied as she flew down, the world's natives look at her with surprise, "Look at her wings." Spike said, "Are they... made out of water?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Okay, I'll let your son roll the Katamari around the neighborhood, but make sure he doesn't roll up the citizens or buildings." Volvox replied, "Thank you, Volvox, We promise this will not take long." the King of All Cosmos said, and he flew back up into the sky.

Sunset Shimmer asked, "These are our co-workers." Mordecai replied, "Oh yes, I remember seeing you drive that car in the driving test, jolly good show!" a man with lollipop head said, "Oh, uh, thanks?" Sunset Shimmer said embarrassingly, "This is Pops, he's our manager." Rigby said, "Well, yeah, but since he was sheltered all his life, he has no idea what to do, so I handle the management." a gumball machine said, "This is Benson, he's a bit short tempered." Mordecai said, "You know who else is short tempered? My mom!" a green man said, the world's natives present look at him with disbelief, "*sigh* This is Muscle Man, he's always like that." Rigby said, "I'm Hi Five Ghost, his best friend." a small white floating ghost said, "And this is?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Skips, our best worker." Benson replied, "So, what do you think of this world, Skips?" Mordecai asked, "I've seen a lot of things in my lifetime, but never anything like this world." Skips replied, "I love this world, it kind of reminds me a bit of Lolliland." Pops said, "Lolliland?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "It's where he's from." Mordecai replied, "So, let me gets this straight, you guys are a blue jay, a raccoon, a gumball machine, a lollipop, a green human, a ghost, and a yeti." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yeah, we all work at the park." Rigby replied, "And our boss wouldn't be on us if you and Mordecai didn't cause so many problems." Benson said, "Come on, guys, let's just enjoy the evening." Muscle Man said, and they do. Vincent was sitting with Orlando, Jonny, and Toby, looking depressed, "You still haven't thought about marrying Katherine?" Jonny asked, "I know, but I can't bring myself to ask her." Vincent replied, "You really wanna go through the same crap I went through? Trust me, marriage life sucks, man." Orlando said, "Excuse me." Princess Cadence said as she and Shining Armor walked to them, "I believe he would be fine when he does marry." Princess Cadence said, "I'm not ready to get married, yet, but she wants to tie the knot, I'm fine where we are. *sigh* I really don't know what to do." Vincent replied, "Well, if she's wanting to marry, then you might as well marry her as well." Jonny said, "How long have you two been dating?" Shining Armor asked, "About five years." Vincent replied, "Trust me, man, no matter how good you are to a woman, you'll never know when she'll stab you in the back." Orlando said, "H... hey, my wife here has never done such a thing to me." Shining Armor replied, "Well, lucky you, my wife betrayed me." Orlando said, "I'm sorry to hear that. What about you two?" Princess Cadence asked, "I'm still searching for my one true love." Jonny replied, "Yeah, so am I." Toby said, "But you have a girlfriend already, don't you, Jonny?" Vincent asked, "Yeah, but I have no intention of marrying her, and we're only seeing one another for temporary company." Jonny replied, the ponies and Young Six were shocked, "You have no intention of marrying her?" Shining Armor asked, "She has no intention of marry me, either." Jonny replied, "But what if you don't find your one true love?" Princess Cadence asked, "Then I don't get married, so what?" Jonny asked, "Jonny, love and marriage is an important thing, you shouldn't brush it off like that." Princess Cadence replied, "You should be telling that to old Vincent here." Orlando said, the two look and see Vincent was just drinking the night away, "Well, we'll be going now." Shining Armor said, and the two walk back. Pinkie Pie hopped to the Rapunzel arcade game and saw Onizuka playing, he just beat the sixty fourth level, "Yes." Onizuka said, "I wanna try!" Pinkie Pie said while hopping up and down excitedly, "Okay, but it's hard." Onizuka replied, and he stepped to the right while Pinkie Pie got onto the arcade game. Pinkie Pie starts the Rapunzel game, "Ooh, so many blocks and pretty looking little people." Pinkie Pie said, she somehow knew how to use the arcade, which confused Onizuka, she beats the first level, "I beat it! Whoo-hoo!" Pinkie Pie said, "Actually, you only beat the first level." Onizuka replied, and Pinkie Pie looked and saw the game automatically advance to the next level. Pinkie Pie focuses and beats the second level easily, which made her jump up and down happily. Pinkie Pie does the third level and had a little trouble, she pushes a block down that makes the whole thing fall and she lost the level, "Oh, I lost." Pinkie Pie said sadly, "There's a restart button right there." Onizuka replied, and Pinkie Pie saw it, she restarts the level and tries again, she beat the third level the second time through, "I did it!" Pinkie Pie said, and she continues playing while Onizuka watched her. Volvox looks around while everybody relaxes for the night, "Wait, Tom's missing." Volvox said, "Yeah, where is Tom?" Dommiel asked, "He and Sarah got into another argument this morning." Huey replied, "Again? They might as well divorce at this rate." the Count of Saint Germain said, "That'd be a shame, that wife Tom's got is fine." Riley replied, "I am not letting him in our house if he is kicked out, no way." Robert said, the world's natives who were visiting the bar look at him with disapproval, "What about the time you guys went to his house for the free food when the celebrity visited them?" Steven asked, "Hey now, we really liked Pretty Boy Flizzy, so we went over to visit him." Uncle Ruckus replied, "Black Dynamite also like Pretty Boy Flizzy, so Black Dynamite paid Tom a visit." Black Dynamite said, "Yeah, me too, I would've liked to dance with him on Soul Train." Cream Corn said, "Pretty Boy Flizzy had it all, not just the looks." Honey Bee said, "We all went to go meet Pretty Boy Flizzy, but ya didn't go cause you're a sissy." Bullhorn said, "No, you guys didn't! I was nearby, you all just visited them to get the free food!" Steven replied, "And what's wrong with that?" Lois asked, "Yeah, Tom's wife is a good cook." Bart said, "I was going to go, but I forgot where Tom's house was at." Richard said, "Tom's wife a hottie, I'll take her if she divorces him." Carl said, "No, I saw her first, she's mine!" Shake replied, "Ugh, you men are all the same." Erica said, "That's ironic coming from you." Vincent replied, "Hey!" Erica said, "Excuse me, Orlando, darling, I must know, what is that hat on your head called?" Rarity asked, "Why you ask for, lady?" Orlando asked, "I'm a fashion designer, and I like hats, so I was wondering what yours is called." Rarity replied, "Ah, no wonder why, it's called a trilby." Orlando said, "Thank you, darling, I think it will go well for some outfits." Rarity replied, Orlando chuckled while Rarity walked back. The spotlight comes on and everybody looks, "Now, for a new entertainer this evening, Autumn Blaze." a male announcer said, everybody clapped as the curtains raised, Autumn Blaze stood on the stage, "Hi, everyone, I'm Autumn Blaze, it's my first time, so I'm a bit nervous, so I'm going to start by singing a song." Autumn Blaze said, "You sound just like Rachel Bloom." Black Dynamite said, "Um, the script for this story says that is her voice actress." Yakko replied, "What else does the script say about her?" Robert asked, "It says she's going to sing a song called A Kirin's Tale." Yakko replied, "Go on without me, Ah already heard it." Applejack said, "Thank goodness for that, cause Black Dynamite doesn't wanna hear her sing that song from Bill Nye's show again." Black Dynamite said, a chord was struck inside of Autumn Blaze, she was about to lose her temper and turn into a nirik, but she restrained it, she sang her song and everybody except Applejack clapped since she already heard it, and she went off the stage. Screaming was heard and the Stray Sheep bar got rolled up into the Katamari, "What the?! The Prince is rolling up the neighborhood!" Volvox said, "Help." Phineas said, they saw him, Ferb, Isabella, Baljeet, and Buford were rolled into the Katamari, Volvox uses telekinesis to free them, "Go have a talk with the King, Roger." Volvox said, and he flew up into the sky, "How does he do that?" Rainbow Dash asked, "He has the powers and abilities of thirty five gods." Dommiel replied, the world's natives reel back in shock, "Thirty five gods?!" Rarity asked, "Yeah, he was considered the chosen one to protect our world from threats, but as you can see, there isn't that many, as he has already dealt with them." the Count of Saint Germain replied, Roger flew back down, "He's not here right now." Roger said, "I see, we'll look for him tomorrow." Volvox replied, the others hear a dunking noise and they saw Mr. Bean was trying to make his teddy bear drink the drink he ordered, "There goes Mr. Bean being Mr. Bean again." Darwin said, "Yeah, I'll never understand that guy." Gumball replied, the others hear drinks banging on the table and they notice Mercer and Aero having a contest over who can drink the most alcohol, "Ready to give up?" Mercer asked, "Not at all." Aero replied, "You guys shouldn't drink that much." Rock said, "But it's fun." Aero replied, "Still, it's bad for you guys." Silver said, and the two drink the next shot of alcohol, Aero passed out while Mercer continued to sit, "I win!" Mercer said, "Didn't you two drink back then, mom and dad?" Nick asked, "Well, only on ceremonial things, but other than that, no." Orchid replied, "I did when I was heavily injured, it numbed the pain." Nick said, "I tried it once, I didn't like the taste." Lance said, "What?! But Lance, you're too young!" Alice said, "Not by my home world's standards, I'm not." Lance replied, Erica walked over, "Hey, which one of you guys paying for the drinks." Erica said, "She is, loser pays." Mercer replied, the mares look at Mercer with shock, unable to believe he would make the female pay for the food and drinks at a restaurant, "I'm gonna head home, it's getting late." Jonny said, the others look at the time and agree, "Make sure you all leave the money on the table for the food and drinks." Boss said, and they do, everybody left, but Vincent stayed, "Hello." a female said, everybody saw Catherine, the Mane Six, Young Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Princesses, Shining Armor, Sunburst, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer go to him, "Who is this?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "This is Catherine, she comes here late at night." Vincent replied, "What is this outfit?!" Rarity asked angrily, seeing Catherine was wearing white clothes that resembled lingerie, Catherine giggled, "Don't you like it?" Catherine asked, "No! I do not! How can you go around in that outfit without being embarrassed?! It's so revealing and resembles underwear!" Rarity replied angrily, Catherine giggled while Rarity had a shocked face, "This is the women you're proposing to?!" Rarity asked, "No, the Katherine I'm dating is Katherine with a k." Vincent replied, "Wait, are you in a relationship with her, too?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "No, we're just friends." Vincent replied, "Really? It looks like there's more than a friendship between you two." Shining Armor said, "We're just close friends, really close." Vincent replied, "Are you in a relationship with two women, Vincent?!" Princess Cadence asked, "No, he's just said, we're just friends." Catherine replied, Vincent stood up, "Hey, are you going?" Catherine asked, "Yeah, I have to go to work early tomorrow." Vincent replied, "Oh, okay, bye then." Catherine said and Vincent left, the world's natives left as well. Princess Luna enters the dream realm and begins to work on getting rid of nightmares, "Okay, let's get tonight over with." Princess Luna said and she begins to blasting away the nightmares of the foals, but she stops and saw the dream with the male sheep again, she sees them in a clock tower, and Vincent was the one who was climbing the most, "It's that dream sequence again." Princess Luna said, she watches Vincent climb the blocks while collecting the coins, he also made use of a red book to electrocute other sheep away. The ponies of Equestria begin to have nightmares and Princess Luna puts all of the nightmares together and zaps them away, they look and see her watching the men climb the clock tower, they watch with her, Rarity chuckled, "I must say, I do find Vincent running around only in his undergarments a bit amusing." Rarity said, the others look and Pinkie Pie began laughing out loud, they see Vincent make it to the top and he goes up to the next landing. Vincent speaks with the others and everybody was working together to create new moves to move the blocks, "Have how things been for you, Vincent?" Phoenix asked, "I'm managing, but it's getting a bit tough." Vincent replied, "Things would be easy for us if Wakko wasn't eating all of the blocks." Yakko said, "It's not my fault they're tasty." Wakko replied, "Tasty?! They taste like frickin' drywall!" Carl said, "Relax, everyone, let's calm down and take turns coming up with new moves to get through this nightmare." Volvox said, everybody calmed down and discussed things, "Alright, I'll be going now." Vincent said, "Have you found out who that person over there is yet?" the Count of Saint Germain asked, "Not yet, but I'm looking." Volvox replied, and Vincent entered the confessional booth, he answered the question and went up to the next part. Vincent arrives at the next part and climbs up the blocks, the ponies watch with worry as Vincent climbs through the place, a sheep falls down and he screams, "Oh, no!" Fluttershy said, and Vincent keeps climbing, he runs up and was collecting the coins as he went along, Vincent soon arrives at the bell and goes up to the next landing. Vincent goes up the stairs and sees everybody was still alive and well, "Hey, guys." Vincent said, "*pant* *pant*, all of this climbing is makin' me tired." Carl said, "Hang in there, Carl, I think we're near the end." Dommiel replied, "I hope so, so far, every night, I've been haunted and chased by Dahlia." Phoenix said, "I still can't believe I'm here, I didn't betray anyone, I was the one who got betrayed." Orlando said, "I never cheated on anyone, and I'm here as well." Jonny replied, "Well, let's go, I'm looking up and seeing we still have two more floors to go." Volvox said, "How are you able to fit in this place, Volvox?" Vincent asked, "Whoever is giving us these nightmares is using their powers to shrink me to the size I am now." Volvox replied, "Ah, stacking blocks." Mr. Bean said as he tried to think of strategies, "I'm surprised he made it this far." Vincent said, "Yeah, he's smart in his own way." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "Well, come on, I think we should go up to the next floor." Phoenix said, the others agreed and Vincent entered first, the voice talks and the next question was asked, Vincent pulls the rope for his answer, the voice speaks a bit more and Vincent was sent up to the next floor. Vincent arrives at the third floor and begins climbing, "Wow, I'm noticing a lot of puzzles for climbing up, but I'm having trouble solving them." Twilight Sparkle said, "As am I, Twilight, if we were in there, we could've just used magic on ourselves and the earth ponies to go up, while the Pegasi could just fly up." Princess Celestia replied, "Still, I wonder why they're having these nightmares, I've noticed they're all males as well." Princess Cadence said, "Yeah, now that you mention it, there seems to be no females in these dreams." Rainbow Dash replied, "That is strange, Ah wonder why that's the case for." Applejack said, the ponies were all confused and they soon see Vincent has begun climbing. Vincent begins climbing while the bottom falls, Rarity screams when she saw the big black ants, "Oh my, I've never seen ants that big before." Fluttershy said, "I am so glad the ants in Sugarcube Corner are not that big, they'd eat everything." Pinkie Pie said, "I'd like to have ants that big." Shining Armor replied, "Of course you would, big brother." Twilight Sparkle said in a deadpan tone, they watch Vincent climb and he was at the top, "Wow, he's completely different in the real world than in the dream." Princess Cadence said, the others agreed and Vincent went up to the next landing. Vincent arrives and saw everyone there, they were all resting, "Did you see Tom down there?" Dommiel asked, "Nope." Vincent replied, "We should go check on him after tonight, who knows how he's been." the Count of Saint Germain said, Giovi nodded, "Well... I'll be going, I wish to get tonight over and done with." Vincent said, "Alright, see you tomorrow morning if you survive." Volvox replied, and Vincent entered the booth, the voice talks and Vincent answers the question presented and goes up to the next floor. Vincent arrives at the last floor for the night, "Alright... Let's just climb this thing and get it over with." Vincent said, he hears baby noises above him, "Wh... What?!" Vincent asked, "Daddy..." a voice said from above and something falls, making everypony uneasy, "What was that?" Sweetie Belle asked, "There is no way!" Vincent said as he had his right hand on his forehead, a chainsaw comes up and it scares everypony, "Dad... dy..." the creature said, "I'm not your daddy! I'm definitely not YOUR daddy!" Vincent said, and the creature came up, it was baby that had a chainsaw for its right hand, a pincer for its left hand. The ponies scream in terror at the sight of the baby, Shining Armor's and Princess Cadence's eyes' and mouths were wide open with horror, "Luna, do something!" Princess Celestia said, "I can't, I already tried, I can't zap these nightmares away." Princess Luna replied, Vincent runs and climbs while the baby shoots its gatling gun and makes buzzsaws fall and move around, "Come on, Vincent, you can do it." Twilight Sparkle said as she watches nervously, "Daddy!" the baby said, "Who is the mother?" Rarity asked, "Ah sure don't wanna know." Applejack replied, Vincent keeps climbing the baby laughs manically as it cuts the right side of the area off with its chainsaw, "Daddy!" the baby said as Vincent climbed, the baby shoots its gatling gun again and makes more blocks and buzzsaws fall, Vincent hangs off of a ledge while everypony watched nervously, Vincent goes back up and climbs more while the baby chases him and cuts off the right side of the area again. Vincent looks back and sees the baby's face had open, revealing a mechanical skull-like face, with two chainsaw blades protruding from its left eye, and another mouth for its right eye, which scared everypony, Vincent keeps climbing and arrives at the top, "Okay, if I just open this..." Vincent said, and he opens the door, "Here comes the dawn... of victory!" Vincent said, the baby comes up, "Whoa! It's still coming?!" Vincent asked, and the baby kept coming up, Vincent began to panic while everypony was scared, "Play with me!" the baby said as it waved its arms around, "Not a chance!" Vincent said, and the white light from the door destroys the baby, "Did I... Did I do it?" Vincent asked, and he saw he did, he was happy, "I did it! The night is mine! Whoo-hoo!" Vincent said, and he went into the door. The ponies smiled as they saw him survive the night, "He made it." Fluttershy said, "I hope the others did, too." Twilight Sparkle replied, "The night is about to end, you all should wake up now." Princess Luna said, and they exited the dream realm. Morning comes and the ponies look for Vincent's home, "There he is." Rainbow Dash said as she pointed her right front hoof at Vincent's apartment, which everybody saw him through a window, he wakes up and look, "Wait, it's that woman from last night." Rarity said, and the rest of the Mane Six see Catherine in his home, she was freaking out, they look and saw ants coming in, "Y'all, Ah'm gettin' a bad feelin' about that Catherine." Applejack said, they watch Vincent and Catherine from outside and see Catherine was very energetic, she left soon afterwards, she also threw out what attracted the ants. The Mane Six go to it and Twilight Sparkle uses her telekinesis to open the box, cake was revealed to be inside, "Oh, what a waste of good cake." Pinkie Pie said, her five friends agreed, they see Vincent come out and Shining Armor and Princess Cadence ran to him, so did the Mane Six, "Are you alright, Vincent?" Princess Cadence asked, "Yeah, I just had a bad dream last night." Vincent replied, "Where are you going?" Shining Armor asked, "To work, I work as a computer programmer." Vincent replied, "Do you remember the dream you had last night?" Rarity asked, "Actually, no." Vincent replied, surprising the eight ponies present with him, "Well, we'll be leaving now, darling, take it easy." Rarity said, "Alright, thanks, see you all tonight." Vincent replied, and he goes to work, "Okay, now to put Ponyville and this place together." Twilight Sparkle said, and they all go their separate ways. The residents of the neighborhood are allowed into Ponyville and they explore, Rarity sees humans who were sagging their pants' coming to her shop, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you guys are not coming into my shop with your pants like that." Rarity said, "Ay, lady, this is the fashion." one man replied, "I don't care if it's fashion or not, it's hideous, and if you want to enter my shop, pull your pants up." Rarity said, Rainbow Dash flew down to them, "Seriously, guys, wearing your pants like that is not cool." Rainbow Dash said, the humans look at her, "'Cool' is way out of date now." one man said, "Yeah, we say 'swag' now." another man said, "Swag?" Rainbow Dash asked, "'Not cool' and 'uncool' ain't used no more, either, we say 'ratchet' now." a third man said, much to Rarity's and Rainbow Dash's confusion, "Anyway, as I was saying, if you want to come into my shop, pull up your pants, you're not coming in like that." Rarity said, and she puts a sign on her door to tell the humans to pull their pants up and closes it while Rainbow Dash flies away. Night Light and Twilight Velvet decided to go for a stroll in the neighborhood, they look around and saw Randy drunk, he was only in his undergarments as well, "That guy is a father?" Twilight Velvet asked, "My thoughts, exactly, love." Night Light replied, and they walk past him, they look and see Marge and Lois conversing, "Oh, hello, who are you two?" Marge asked, "We're Twilight Sparkle's parents." Twilight Velvet replied, "Which one was Twilight Sparkle again?" Lois asked, "The purple one with the horn and wings." Night Light replied, "Oh, that one, I remember her." Lois said, "So, what are you two doing?" Twilight Velvet asked, "Just talking about our days, our husbands and kids are at work and school right now." Marge replied, "So, what do you two do?" Twilight Velvet asked, "Mostly just stay home and take care of the house." Lois replied, "You two don't do anything?" Night Light asked, "We do a lot, just nothing to do right now." Marge replied, "Alright, well, nice meeting you two, we'll continue our stroll." Twilight Velvet said, and the two walk past them. Night Light and Twilight Velvet hear havoc at a house and saw Richard doing something, "What is he doing?" Twilight Velvet asked as they saw Richard playing with what appeared to be a toy wand, "I guess he just has a big inner child." Night Light said, Twilight Velvet chuckled, "It's actually kind of cute watching him." Twilight Velvet said, and they see Richard act like a little kid, "Well, come on, darling, let's keep walking around." Night Light said, and they walk around the neighborhood while enjoying the views. Sunset Shimmer was still trying the driving test and was having a lot of trouble, she was doing the PIT maneuver, she got a silver medal, "Come on!" Sunset Shimmer said as she clutched her head with her front hoofs and hit her head on the steering wheel's horn, "Yeah, we had trouble with this one, too." Mordecai said, "How many tries did it take you two?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "A lot, so much, we lost count after the twentieth try." Rigby replied, Sunset Shimmer sighs sharply and kept her head on the horn, "I need a break." Sunset Shimmer said, and she trotted away from the driving school. Mordecai and Rigby comfort her while she just sat on the sidewalk, "Need some help?" a voice asked, they look up and saw Chibs, "I thought you drive motorcycles." Sunset Shimmer said, "Not always, I drive four wheels, too." Chibs replied, Sunset Shimmer looked at him with surprise, "Come on, I'll show you a few tricks." Chibs said, and they try the PIT maneuver part again, Chibs guides Sunset Shimmer and she got a gold medal, "Yes!" Sunset Shimmer said, "OHHHHHHH!!" Mordecai and Rigby said together, they hear running and saw Benson, "Mordecai and Rigby, GET BACK TO WORK!!" Benson said, "Oh, we have to go now, Sunset Shimmer." Mordecai said, "Okay, see you guys next time." Sunset Shimmer replied, "I have to go, too, I have a club to run." Chibs said, "Alright, good luck." Sunset Shimmer replied, and the three leave while Sunset Shimmer does the next test. Applejack walks around and looks around the neighborhood, she stops when she saw a black man dancing with a lawn mower in front of him, "What in tarnation?" Applejack asked with surprise as she saw the black man mowing the lawn while dancing and playing music, she walked to the house and knocked on the door three times with front right hoof, the door opens and Robert came out, "Yes?" Robert asked, "What is that supposed to be?" Applejack asked as she pointed her front left hoof to the black man mowing his lawn, "He's a lawn mower man from Dave Chappelle's Lawn Service, it's a good company." Robert replied, "Why can't ya mow the lawn yerself?" Applejack asked, "Man, I'm old, I don't have the energy like how I did back then." Robert replied, "Why couldn't ya just call a regular person to mow the lawn?" Applejack asked, "This is the only company in the neighborhood." Robert replied, "What about Huey and Riley?" Applejack asked, "They're at school." Robert replied, "Ya could have them mow the lawn on the weekend." Applejack said, "They have homework during the weekend." Robert replied, "Oh, so, y'all don't have time." Applejack said, "Exactly, we ain't got the time to be mowing the lawn when we're so busy." Robert replied, "Well, sorry to bother ya, Ah'll be goin' now." Applejack said, "Alright, have a good day." Robert replied, and he closed the door, Applejack walks away while looking at the dancing lawn mower man uncomfortably. Phoenix was at a crime scene, he saw the outline of Apu Sauce's body was drawn, he was not the only person there, Trucy, Harry, Dexter, Aya, Takeshi, Hayato, and Taki were there as well, "Daddy, you never said what happened to Gumshoe." Trucy said, "He just transferred, we thought we'd give him an easier job." Harry replied, "Yeah, he's still around, following Edgeworth everywhere." Dexter said, "So, when was the time of death estimated?" Aya asked, "About thirty four hours ago." Dexter replied, everybody sees Dexter has already put red tape around the area to locate where the blood splattered during the time of the murder, "This wasn't an expert murder, whoever did this was an amateur." Dexter said, "I can tell, look, see how high the blood flies up onto the wall?" Takeshi asked, "Yeah, whoever did this used a lot of force." Aya replied, "Someone's coming." Hayato said, and they hear trotting, they see Twilight Sparkle, "I couldn't help but hear you guys, thought I could be of help." Twilight Sparkle said, "Sure, Twilight, just like the last time I came here." Phoenix replied, Twilight Sparkle smiled, "Do you have any prior experience with anything like this?" Harry asked, "I gathered forensic knowledge from my books." Twilight Sparkle replied, "We're doing the blood splatter analysis right now, what do you know about it?" Dexter asked, "Well, I just overheard you guys discuss it." Twilight Sparkle replied, "That's not everything." Taki said, Twilight Sparkle looks at the red tapes, "Well, judging by the height of the splatter, and the angle of it, I would assume this person was stabbed with immense force, and possibly hit a major artery." Twilight Sparkle said, "The body's being analyzed at the police station, person was stabbed in their left jugular vein and carotid artery." Dexter replied, "Oh, I'd figured it was somewhere around there." Twilight Sparkle said, "I'll fill you in, we also found a right hand print on the body's right shoulder, the fingers are on the front of the shoulder." Trucy said, "Okay, so that means the person was attacked from behind." Twilight Sparkle replied, "You guys said you found something strange on the weapon, right?" Aya asked, "Yes, it's right here." Taki replied, and he shows the weapon, it was a dagger, it had a silver blade, red and black handle, and a gold eagle emblem on the hand guard, "See this eagle emblem here, Twilight?" Takeshi asked, "Yes." Twilight Sparkle replied, "That is the logo of Shocker, the criminal organization Ichimonji, Taki, and I are fighting." Takeshi said, Twilight Sparkle looked at it with great detail, "Thank you, I'll inform Princess Celestia." Twilight Sparkle said, "Well, come on, I have to speak to the suspects around here now." Phoenix said, and they all walk together. Phoenix, Twilight Sparkle, and the investigators go together and come across someone, he had on a suit and hat that appeared to be made out of ice cream, he had short blue hair, "Excuse us." Phoenix said, the man looks at them, "Can you state your name?" Phoenix asked, the man did not respond, "What can you say about this?" Taki asked as he showed him the dagger, the man did not respond, "He's hiding something." Aya said, they look and saw him biting his lower lip to stay quiet, Takeshi, Hayato, and Taki's attentions were caught, "Is Shocker holding your family hostage?" Hayato asked, the man became nervous, "Let's take him to Tachibana's place." Takeshi said, and they do. Onizuka was teaching his class and Princess Celestia and Cheerilee saw him outside, he was with his class, which had Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, Butters, Bart, and other students, "Alright, Bart, Cartman, fight!" Onizuka said, surprising everyone, "Well? What are you waiting for? Fight!" Onizuka said, and they do, much to Cheerilee's shock, the Cutie Mark Crusaders see it and watch with shock as well, the ponies watch with shock while Onizuka's students cheer on Bart to win, but Cartman overpowers him and the students begin cheering for Cartman to win, "Stop!" Onizuka said, and they do, "You guys are not being a true friend, you all cheered for Bart, and then switched to Cartman when he started winning, that is not what a true friend does. A true friend supports their friend, even when they are losing, all of you fail." Onizuka said, shocking the students, "Wait! Onizuka!" Princess Celestia said as she flew to him, she landed in front of him, "What kind of lesson is this?" Princess Celestia asked, "I am teaching them about supporting their friends." Onizuka replied, "I understand the need to teach friendship, but I don't think this is the best way." Princess Celestia said, "It's only for this lesson, I have several ways to teach them." Onizuka replied, "Actually, he teaches us more than friendship." Butters said, "Yeah, he also teaches us life lessons." Stan said, "I'll be watching you, I'll have a talk with you if I see this doing more harm than good." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away, they all go back to class. Bart was bored, so he decided to try a prank, he took out a slingshot and was about to shoot it at Onizuka, he snickers and fires a rock at Onizuka while his back was turned and he was writing on the board, the rock was about to hit him, but Onizuka holds up his left hand and catches it without turning around, causing the students to gasp, "Nice try, Bart, but that's not going to work with me." Onizuka said, and he turned around and threw the rock, it hit the wall in the back of the classroom, which left a hole and cracks on the entire wall, shocking his students, "Now then, onto your social studies assignment." Onizuka said, and he lectures them while the students were too busy using their touchscreen phones and were on Facebook, Instagram, or looking at memes, Onizuka walks around the classroom and takes their electronics and puts on his desk, the students complain but Onizuka does a karate chop with his right hand and breaks their electronics. The students were seeing PC Principal while Onizuka stood outside the office, "Mr. Onizuka, get in here!" PC Principal said, he did, "I understand your country does things differently, but as long as you're here, you'll be obeying my rules." PC Principal said, Onizuka let out an annoyed grunt, "You will not break other students' supplies! I have a lot of complaints already, their parents are furious with you!" PC Principal said, "Well, they weren't paying attention in class." Onizuka replied, "We all know why you're here, the only reason you were brought to our school was because PC Principal wanted to add diversity in the teaching staff!" Cartman said, "And everybody can see, you have the hots for Strong Woman." Kyle said, Onizuka blushed, "Well, I'll let you go this time, Mr. Onizuka, since you're still new here, but if something like this happens again, I will fire you." PC Principal said, and Onizuka left while the students continued to complain. Starlight Glimmer and Flurry Heart decided to go see Harvey, Orchid, Nick, Lance, Alice, Mercer, Silver, Rock, and Aero, Flurry Heart flew around and played with Lance, Silver, and Rock, "What do you guys for a living?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Well, I used to play music for money when I was younger." Harvey replied, "What about you, Orchid?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "I was a stay at home mom, had to watch over Nick." Orchid replied, "What about you guys?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Only I had a job, I was a soldier for my home kingdom's military." Rock replied from afar, "You guys didn't have jobs?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Nope, I was homeless who had to steal for a living." Aero replied, "Well, I'm from a family of nobility, so maybe that could count, since I was studying politics." Silver said from afar, "I didn't have a job either, I was busy learning lightning magic." Alice said, "Me neither, plus, I couldn't get a job, I'm a wanted criminal, me serving under Alice is basically my atonement." Mercer said, "What are your crimes?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Robbery, murder, political assassination, and being a former member of a criminal gang, so I served under Alice back in my world to protect it from evil to atone for my past actions." Mercer replied, "For how long?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Rest of my life." Mercer replied, "I was a thief before I joined Alice, so I'm kind of atoning, too." Aero said, "What about the rest of you?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "I was dead at the time Nick met them." Lance replied from afar, "I joined Alice because it was my duty as a soldier." Rock said from afar, "Since I'm nobility, I had more responsibilities than the average citizens in my home kingdom." Silver said from afar, "I was chosen to save our world from evil, and these four joined me, Nick came much later." Alice said, "Yeah, I only went to mom's world after going to dad's world, they were the first people I met." Nick said, "What does Lance mean he died?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Lance was experimented on and mutated, I had to kill him to end his suffering, I then went to mom's world after that, I used magic from her world and technology from dad's world to revive him, I got mom and dad revived as well." Nick replied, "I see, interesting, I'll go see Volvox now." Starlight Glimmer said, "Alright, have fun." Harvey replied, and Starlight Glimmer trotted to his home. Starlight Glimmer arrived to Volvox's home and knocked on the front door with her front right hoof three times, Volvox uses telekinesis to open the door, "Hello, you need something?" Volvox asked, "Actually, I just thought I'd come by and get to know you better." Starlight Glimmer replied, "Come on in, then." Volvox said, and she entered. Starlight Glimmer entered his house and saw Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, and Tom, "You okay, Tom?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Sarah kicked me out of the house again."

Phineas and Ferb continue building the roller coaster and Spike and the Young Six go see them, "Hello again." Phineas said, "Hi, Twilight actually wanted me to give you guys some notes on the roller coaster so it could support everycreature when they board it, since she's too busy to come help at the moment." Spike replied, and he hands it to them, "Thank you, we were working on that, our country's president already gave us the supplies." Phineas said, "Uh, president?" Silverstream asked, "This country's ruler is called a president, we have a queen from where I come from." Ferb replied, "Still, aren't you a bit young to be building a roller coaster?" Ocellus asked, "Why, yes, yes I am." Phineas replied, "So, who is the president?" Sandbar asked, "President Brain, his second-in-command is Admiral Pinky." Phineas replied, Pinkie Pie dashed into the backyard, "Hey! That's my name." Pinkie Pie said, "This Pinky's a mouse." Phineas replied, "Still a double me!" Pinkie Pie said as she jumped up and down. In the grass of Phineas' and Ferb's backyard, Pinky and the Brain were watching them, "So, what was the plan, Brain? Narf." Pinky said, "Simple, Pinky, when Phineas and Ferb activate the roller coaster, we are going to use our mind control device that I've secretly planted onto the pieces of the roller coaster to send out waves to hypnotize the people, I will make them obey me and I will rule the world." Brain replied, "Wait, no, one problem, Brain, what if we are sent back to our world?" Pinky asked, "I will still be able to control this world with my mind from there, I will not take over one, but two worlds." Brain replied, "Egad, Brain, what a brilliant idea!" Pinky said, "Yes, now come, we must prepare my speech." Brain replied, and the two left. Phineas, Ferb, Spike, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream work together to build the roller coaster, "Good work, gang, I think we all could use a break." Phineas said, and they all agree, happy to see the roller coaster was coming together at a decent pace. Isabella, Baljeet, and Buford arrive shortly afterwards, "What'cha doin'?" Isabella asked, "Same, building the roller coaster." Phineas replied, "We're building the biggest roller coaster ever!" Silverstream said, "Yona having fun, everybody else having fun?" Yona asked, "I'll admit, it kind of is." Gallus replied, "Yeah, I can't wait until I ride it." Smolder said, "Hey, where's Perry?" Phineas asked, "Now that you mention it, I haven't seen ever since we came here." Buford replied, "Me neither, that is strange." Baljeet said, "Well, we'll worry about that later, break time's over." Phineas replied, and they all work on the roller coaster again. Fluttershy brought Rita, Runt, Bobby, Pesto, Squit, Slappy Squirrel, and Skippy Squirrel to her cottage, "Now, now make way, there's room for everybody." Fluttershy said, "Yeah, definitely enough room, definitely enough room, definitely." Runt replied, "Not really, I'd rather not have to share, but it sure beats living with Flavio and Marita." Rita said, and she begins to sing about how bad it was, "Oh no, Rita, this is a place of happiness, so no singing about bad things." Fluttershy said, "You sound nothing like Emmy." Slappy Squirrel said, "Emmy?" Fluttershy asked, "Yeah, you sound more like Cassie." Slappy Squirrel replied, much to Fluttershy's confusion, "Hey, Aunt Slappy, there are no nuts in the tree." Skippy Squirrel said, "This tree's a dunce, I'm outta here." Slappy Squirrel replied, "Where are you going?" Fluttershy asked, "Back to my original home, your tree's a wreck. Come on, Skippy." Slappy Squirrel replied, and the two left. Fluttershy hears arguing in her house, so she enters, "Huh? What's that? You think you own this cottage? Like I'm some little kid you can tramp over?" Pesto asked, Angel Bunny glared at him, "You think I'm a kid, like one of those little guys who gets his candy stolen? Like that kid who talks about Randy Beaman all the time?" Pesto asked, Angel Bunny growled at him, "That's it! Come here, I'll show you who's a kid!" Pesto said, and the two fight, Pesto was winning while Angel Bunny squealed in pain, "STOP IT!!" Fluttershy yelled at them, "ANGEL BUNNY!! PESTO!!" Fluttershy yelled, they did not stop, magic was used by Discord to separate them, "My, what a racket, I'm trying to sleep." Discord said as he sat in a chair, "Now, Pesto, I am not going to put up with your temper in my home, so don't start any fights." Fluttershy said, she hears more arguing and saw Rita arguing with another cat, she flew to them, "What is going on here?" Fluttershy asked, "She won't let me have the fish." Rita replied, "Now, now, we share in this cottage." Fluttershy said, "I don't wanna share, I want it all." Rita replied, Fluttershy glared at her, "Rita!" Fluttershy said sternly, "No! I want it all!" Rita replied, Fluttershy stares at her, which scares her into obedience, "I'll be back, everybody, I'm going to go check on Buttons." Fluttershy said, and she flew out. Fluttershy heads to Mindy's and Buttons' home and saw Mindy leave her yard as she saw a truck pass by, "Ooh, trucky." Mindy said, and she walks out of the yard, Buttons exclaims with shock and jumps out of the yard. Buttons chases Mindy and got hit by several tree branches, Mindy climbs to the top of the truck while Buttons does as well, a tree branch hits him off of the truck and Fluttershy gives chase. Buttons stands up and runs across the road, he catches up and jumps onto the back of the truck, but he falls under it, Buttons yelps as his tail and butt skid across the road, Fluttershy holds him up and tries flying while holding him, but he was too heavy and she fell. The truck arrives at a dump and Mindy goes down into the dump, Buttons yelps with shock and runs to her, he pushes her out of the way while some of the smashers smash him, Fluttershy flies and picks Mindy up and bring her home, Buttons changes back to normal and runs home, he gets ran over by several cars but keeps going. Fluttershy puts Mindy back in her harness while Buttons goes back into his doghouse, "Mindy, you've stayed here, good girl." Mindy's mother said as she came into the yard with her husband, "Buttons, you're all dirty, bad dog." Mindy's father said, "We told you not to go into the mud, no treat for you." Mindy's mother said, Buttons whimpered, Fluttershy watched and felt her rage build up, "How dare you! HOW DARE YOU!!" Fluttershy said, and she flew to Mindy's parents, "I have watched your dog rescue and get hurt every day to make sure your daughter is safe! And when he does save her and bring her back here, you two scold him for something trivial! Buttons saves and protects your daughter from serious harm, and you punish him all the time, while you two are out and doing something like admiring your things and gloating about your possessions! Buttons is not a bad dog, you two are bad parents, now apologize to Buttons or I'll make you two go after Mindy the next time she goes out of the yard!" Fluttershy said angrily, Mindy's parents were scared, and they went into their house without apologizing to Buttons. Fluttershy went to Buttons and rubbed her snout against him, "Good dog, I have a treat for you." Fluttershy said, and she flew away and came back with a piece of raw steak, Buttons was happy and eats it, Mindy runs to Buttons and hugs him, "Me love Buttons." Mindy said, Buttons smiled, "Be good now, Mindy, Buttons needs his rest." Fluttershy said, "Okay, I love you, buh-bye." Mindy replied, Fluttershy smiled and flew back to her cottage. Twilight Sparkle and Phoenix were at a hideout with Takeshi, Hayato, Taki, Tachibana, Harry, Dexter, and Aya, they had the man sitting in a chair and drinking tea, "What is your name?" Takeshi asked, "Eyes Cree." the man replied, "What happened at the scene of the murder?" Phoenix asked, "I wasn't there." Eyes Cree replied, "Where were you, then?" Takeshi asked, "I was..." Eyes Cree replied, but he suddenly stood up and tried to attack them. Twilight Sparkle uses her telekinesis to restrain him while Taki hits him to knock him out, they all check him, "There's something in his ear." Harry said, they look and took it out, "A Shocker mind controlling device." Taki said, "How do you know?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "They've used this before." Hayato replied, "Tie him up, just in case he attacks again, and guard the place, it's possible some of Shocker's henchmen are around here." Tachibana said, "How will you guys know if it's Shocker or not?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Those who work for Shocker wear a uniform." Taki replied, Eyes Cree begins to wake up, "What happened?" Eyes Cree asked, "You were controlled by Shocker." Takeshi replied, "Right, Shocker, I was forced by them to make desserts with mind controlling devices in them, it's so when kids eat them at a party, they will be controlled and brainwashed by Shocker." Eyes Cree said, shocking Phoenix and Twilight Sparkle, "I remember strange things happening back at where I worked, so that's what happened." Aya said, "Yes, we've had several Shocker cases here, too." Harry replied, "What do you know about Apu Sauce?" Dexter asked, "Apu Sauce was actually killed by Shocker, it was a monster I've never seen, he was testing a new weapon, he stabbed it into his neck, blood squirted out everywhere, Shocker is making a new one." Eyes Cree said, "What about Pays Tree? How did she get arrested for it?" Phoenix asked, "I don't know, she stumbled upon the body, but when the police came, they arrested her immediately." Eyes Cree replied, their attentions were caught, "Could it be Shocker?" Tachibana asked, "Possibly, they can disguise themselves as people." Taki replied, "I'd like to meet this Pays Tree." Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright, come with me." Phoenix replied, and they go to the police station. Phoenix and Twilight Sparkle arrive at the police station and see Mike, "What are you doing here?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "My job." Mike replied, "Your job?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "He's actually a retired cop, he was still working here when I joined." Harry replied, "Good afternoon, Mr. Callahan, Mr. Morgan." Mike said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Ehrmantraut." Harry replied, "Good afternoon." Dexter said, "I'll be heading back to Los Pollos Hermanos now, you know where to find me." Mike said, and he left, Twilight Sparkle, Aya, and Taki got a feeling he was hiding something, but they continue to Pays Tree. Twilight Sparkle, Phoenix, and the others arrive, they see Pays Tree, she was wearing pastries as clothing, which bewildered Twilight Sparkle, "Please, you have to get me out of here." Pays Tree said, "We're working on that, Pays Tree, you need to tell me what happened at the time of your arrest." Phoenix replied, "Nothing, they just arrested me on the spot without letting me say anything, and I was brought here, they were going to throw me in jail without trial until you took my case, please, you have to get me out, I think these guards are..." Pays Tree replied, but a tranquilizer was shot into her, they see two policemen and they run out of the room. Phoenix stood up with shock and the two police men entered the room Phoenix and his company were in, "You've heard enough, you won't escape." one policeman said, and they take off their disguises, revealing black outfits with a skeletal design on them. Everybody else stood up and looked at the two, "Shocker!" Takeshi said, "Go! We'll deal with them!" Taki said, and they attack, Takeshi, Hayato, Taki, and Tachibana fight them, more enter the room and they had swords with them, one of them was wearing a red uniform, they attack and Harry, Dexter, and Aya subdue them, Phoenix also did his best to fight back, Twilight Sparkle zapped the Shocker henchmen with her magic to knock them down. Phoenix and Twilight Sparkle arrive outside and saw more Shocker henchmen, they see them being knocked down by Trucy's magic tricks while Athena fought them off with her martial arts, the others arrive outside and help them fight the Shocker henchmen, Takeshi, Hayato, Taki, Dexter, and Athena subdued them easily, "Come on, let's go check on Apu Sauce." Hayato said, and they go back to where Takeshi, Hayato, Taki, and Tachibana were staying.

Vito said, and the black people cheer, "We haven't had anything this successful since Martin Luther King's 'I Have A Dream' speech." Robert said, "Black Dynamite didn't like Martin Luther King, Black Dynamite supported Malcolm X." Black Dynamite replied, "No, no, y'all black folk don't deserve this." Uncle Ruckus said, he sees the native creatures of the world glaring at him, "O... Okay, maybe they do." Uncle Ruckus said, the world's natives close in on him, making him scared, the dragons and griffons begin beating him up while Uncle Ruckus yelps in pain, Princess Celestia sighs and she waits for the new flag to be made.

Applejack asked, "It looks like what of 'em house beams gave out." Granny Smith said, "Wait, is that beer I see comin' out of the house?" Carl asked, and they do, they saw Homer swimming around and drinking it, Peter, Quagmire, Cleveland, Joe, and Carl go in to drink it as well, they hear laughing and saw Bart, Cartman, Eddy, Riley, and Shake come out, "What the? Shake, there you are, I've been wondering where you've been." Frylock said, "I was out shopping, and I stumbled to here on my way home." Shake replied, "Say, are y'all playin' a game? I wanna play." Meatwad said, "No, you're too stupid to play." Shake replied, Meatwad began to cry, "There you go, you're just a kid, as always." Shake said, and he turned around and saw Princess Celestia glaring at him, "What?" Shake asked, "Mordecai and Rigby, you better not have had a part in this." Benson said, "We're right here, Benson." Mordecai replied, and he saw him and Rigby with trash bags, "Okay, so you two didn't." Benson said, "Come on, Cartman, you're grounded." Randy said, Cartman aimed a pistol at him, causing the residents of the neighborhood to gasp, "I'm not getting punished, I demand to be let free!" Cartman replied, Randy aimed a pistol at him, "Oh no, you're not, you're grounded, now drop the gun or I'll shoot you." Randy said, and Cartman did.

Slappy Squirrel said, the beer was all gone and they saw Wakko drank all of it, "Faboo." Wakko said, "Say, Mindy, why don't ya learn some things from us?" Yakko asked, "My name's Bart." Bart replied, "Oh, sorry, it's just you and Mindy have the same voice actress." Yakko said, "Hey, Grim, why is Bart older than Mindy if they're twins?" Billy asked, "Oh, hush, you nitwit." Grim replied, the Kids Next Door went to Bart, "How would you like to be an honorary Kids Next Door operative?" Nigel asked, "What do I do?" Bart asked, "Just be on the lookout for any rotten adults, and contact us if you spot any." Hoagie replied, "Nah, I'll stick to my pranks." Bart said, "You two better not get any ideas." Benson said to Mordecai and Rigby, "Would any of you like to file charges?" Jimmy asked, "Hey! You're the guy who conned us." Flam said, "I think you have the wrong guy." Jimmy replied, "No, we don't, you can't fool us, Saul Goodman." Flim said, "No, you got the wrong guy." Jimmy replied, "No, we don't." Flim and Flam said, "Yes, you do, you said the scammer name's was Saul Goodman, I'm Jimmy McGill." Jimmy replied, Flim and Flam growled, "Look at that, someone conned Flim and Flam." Applejack said, "It's still wrong, though." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Come on, guys, let's just get on with our days." Meg said, "Who asked you?" Chris asked, "I'm just suggesting what to do next." Meg replied, "Got to your room, Meg!" Peter and Lois said together, and she went back home, shocking the world's natives, "Go on, guys, we're just get on with our days." Volvox said, everybody agreed, and they did. Princess Celestia flew to Los Pollos Hermanos because she could not shake off a feeling that Gus was hiding something sinister, she entered the restaurant and saw the food, while the french fries did make her hungry, the chicken made her lose her appetite, she went up to the employees, "Hi, welcome to Los Pollos Hermanos." a female employee said, "I'd like to speak with Gus." Princess Celestia replied, "He's in that office over there." the employee said as she pointed to her right, Princess Celestia walked into Gus' office. Gus sat in his office and Princess Celestia entered, she saw Mike standing to his right, and two people standing behind him, who were Victor and Tyrus, "Can I help you?" Gus asked, Princess Celestia walked to him and stood across from him, "I'll get straight to the point, Gus, what are you hiding?" Princess Celestia asked, "What gives you that idea?" Gus asked, Princess Celestia narrowed her eyes, "It's obvious you're hiding something, dressed nicely, always acting professional, you're acting too good to be a regular businessman." Princess Celestia replied, "Well, it is my job, I have to wear business suits." Gus said, "What about Mike over there, what does he do?" Princess Celestia asked, "I am the head of security, it is my job to train the guards to protect the employees and customers." Mike replied, "And those two?" Princess Celestia asked, "They are my bodyguards." Gus replied, "Bodyguards? For a restaurant owner?" Princess Celestia asked, "My business is the most successful restaurant in the area of our world this neighborhood resides in, there are many trying to steal my company's recipes and formulas so they can copy it and drive me and my employees out of business." Gus replied, Princess Celestia was surprised, "That many people are after you?" Princess Celestia asked, "Yes, I did not start here, the place I opened my restaurant was governed by criminals, I came here to escape from them, they are still after me." Gus replied, "Oh, I see, sorry for taking up your time." Princess Celestia said, "It's alright, I have plenty of free time, it was a pleasure to speak to you." Gus replied, and Princess Celestia left, still suspicious of Gus. Gus takes out his cellphone and calls someone, "Yes?" a male voice asked, "It's me, Don Corleone, one of the natives of this world seems to be onto us." Gus replied, "I told you, Mr. Fring, we don't do business in what you do business in." Vito said, "Yes, I understand, but if she finds out about our business, it might lead to yours, and my restaurant might lose the olive oil brand we get from you, which will affect the taste of our food, and cause us to lose customers." Gus replied, "I understand, I'll keep an eye on her." Vito said, "Will you help us?" Gus asked, "Yes." Vito replied, and he hangs up and Gus breaks the phone apart and puts it in the trash bin to the right side of his desk. Princess Celestia stood outside and watched Los Pollos Hermanos, still getting a bad feeling from Gus. The Cutie Mark Crusaders trot around and saw the Warner Siblings, "Say, what are those tattoos on your bottoms there?" Yakko asked, "They're called cutie marks." Apple Bloom replied, "When did you all get them?" Wakko asked, "2015." Sweetie Belle replied, "You three are late." Dot said, "What do you mean we're late?" Scootaloo asked, "I got my cutie mark sixteen years before you three did." Dot replied, shocking the three, "Where?" Apple Bloom asked, "Right here, on my left cheek." Dot replied, the three see it, "You can thank us, we got her the surgery to get it." Yakko said, "And I'm the one who paid for it, with a ha'penny." Wakko replied, "That doesn't count!" Scootaloo said angrily, "A cutie mark is one's special talent." Sweetie Belle said, "My special talent is being cute." Dot replied, "What kind of talent is that?!" Apple Bloom asked, "Trust me, it comes in handy a lot." Dot replied, "Uh, we'll be going now." Sweetie Belle said, and they go past the Warner Siblings. The Cutie Mark Crusaders see the rainbow monkey store and Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle run to it, they see the toys and run around to look for their sisters, they see them close by and get their attentions, they follow them, "What is it, Sweetie Belle?" Rarity asked, "I want one." Sweetie Belle replied, Rarity sees the rainbow monkey toys, "Why, Sweetie Belle, they're lovely." Rarity said with a smile, "Ah'm surprised ya want one, Apple Bloom." Applejack said, "I like how they look." Apple Bloom said, "Come on, darling, I'll get myself one as well." Rarity said, Sweetie Belle was excited and entered the shop, so did Apple Bloom and Applejack, Scootaloo shrugged and entered. The five mares enter the store and look at the rainbow monkeys, "Go on, Sweetie Belle, take your pick." Rarity said, Sweetie Belle looks at the toys, "I can't decide which one I want." Sweetie Belle replied, Rarity chuckled, "Honestly, Sweetie Belle, I can't decide, either, they're all lovely." Rarity said, Sweetie Belle smiled, they hear walking and saw Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Steven come out from the back, "What are y'all doin' here?" Applejack asked, "I'm taking care of the real rainbow monkeys in the back, Steven showed them to me." Fluttershy replied, "And I'm making them all happy and cozy on the inside, just like Steven here." Pinkie Pie said as she rubbed her left cheek on Steven's right cheek, which made Steven chuckle, "Okay, Pinkie Pie, that's enough now." Steven said, and Pinkie Pie took her cheek off of him, "You all should hang out with him, he's been coming to my cottage to help me care for my pets." Fluttershy said, "Why, that's great, I think he'll make a fine friend." Rarity replied, "Yeah, good to see someone here is friendly." Applejack said, "Actually, a lot of us are." Steven replied, "We'll be going now, I'm going to go check on the other animals." Fluttershy said, and she leaves with Pinkie Pie and Steven, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom choose their rainbow monkey, so did Rarity and Applejack, while Scootaloo sighs and waits for them. Night time comes and the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, princesses, Shining Armor, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Sunburst go to the Stray Sheep, they saw everybody there, they all decided to go see Lucas, Ethan, and Shaun, "Excuse us." Fluttershy said, the three look at them, "Where are you three at during the day?" Fluttershy asked, "I'm at school." Shaun replied, "I'm designing buildings, I'm an architect." Ethan said, "What about you, Lucas?" Sweetie Belle asked, "I mainly work with computers." Lucas replied, "Do you work at where Vincent works?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "No, I work somewhere else entirely." Lucas replied, "The wrong girl?" Jonny asked, "Yeah. The Catherine he was talking about was someone else entirely." Vincent replied, "Geez." Orlando said, "Seriously?" Jonny asked, "Well, lucky for you, this was just some dummy's mistake." Orlando said, "The world's full of troublemakers." Jonny said, "You guys'd better be careful, too. Haven't you heard the rumor?" Erica asked, "Aw, that again?" Orlando asked, "They say all the men who died were cheaters... So they were cursed." Erica said, "Just get yourself back to work." Orlando said, "Vincent isn't cheating anymore, so there's nothing to worry about." Jonny said, "The curse, huh... Oh, well, that's great. Now I've got no choice but to accept it..." Vincent said, "Well, look. When you feel guilty, sometimes you want to be punished. Know what I mean? But this curse stuff is crazy! It's not rational! Grow up, man. Besides, there are plenty of other ways to die in your sleep. Plus..." Orlando said, "Plus...?" Vincent asked, "Well... y'know... I've sorta been having... funny dreams, too..." Orlando said, "Dreams..." Vincent said, "Well, to be honest... I've been having odd dreams recently myself. And like you were saying, I don't remember exactly what they're about but..." Jonny said, "Yeah... But it's some hard stuff." Orlando said, "H-Hey, are you serious...?" Vincent asked, "It's fine. Don't worry about it, it's all about dreams." Orlando replied, "Yeah, but are you sure it's fine?" Toby asked, "Of course it's fine." Orlando replied, Vincent has thoughts go through his mind, "Anyway, this is about you, Vincent. What're you gonna do?" Orlando asked, "Huh? Oh... My nightmares were all caused by this trouble... But they've forced me to realize something." Vincent replied, "Which is?" Erica asked, "I took everything for granted... up until now. I feel like now... I remember what I've always held dearest to me." Vincent replied, "Sounds selfish to me." Jonny said, "Really..." Erica said, "I know. But I can't betray the person who's been with me all this time, despite who I am... ...I can't lose her now." Vincent replied, "Yeah! That's the spirit, Chief!" Toby said while he clapped his hands once, "Then maybe you shouldn't be here drinking right now." Erica said, "Well, yeah... I've got something left to do... Need to change my focus." Vincent replied, "I see..." Erica said, "Hey. Beer me." Orlando said, "Sure, let me get that for you." Erica replied as she walked away, "Yeah, that's right! Let's get to drinkin' while we're thinkin'! Your treat!" Toby said, "Yeah, right..." Jonny replied, and they spend their night. Roger was sitting at a booth and listening to Blackstar by David Bowie, "Who's listening to David Bowie?" Robert asked, "That's me." Roger replied, "I remember David Bowie, I was sad when he died." Dommiel said, "All of us were." Volvox replied, "I liked David Bowie, too." Cream Corn said, "What is that song called?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Blackstar." Roger replied, "Did you ever meet David Bowie, Aunt Slappy?" Skippy Squirrel asked, "Nah, he ain't really my kind of music style." Slappy Squirrel replied, "You should listen to some Gangstalicious and Thugnificent." Riley said, "Sorry, but I only like rap from the 90s." Roger replied, "I remember that, 2Pac, Biggie, and Eazy E were the most popular, shame all of them are dead." Robert said, "No matter how much music we like, I'll never forget the Grammy Award in 1989." Volvox said, "Yeah, I remember that, too, that was a load of bull." Slappy Squirrel replied, "What happened?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We had a Grammy Award for the Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental, we all thought Metallica was going to win, but the award went to Jethro Tull instead." Robert replied, "I remember that, that was a load of crap." Randy said, "I remember that, too, I was mad." Peter said, "All of us were mad." Marge replied, "I literally SHOT UP MY TV WHEN THAT HAPPENED!!" Joe yelled angrily, scaring the ponies and Spike who were in the bar, "I remember that, a riot broke out in this neighborhood when that happened." Brian said, "And Meg got hurt the most." Chris replied, the Griffin family laugh at Meg, "Were you there, dad?" Steven asked, "Of course, Steven, since I was a musician myself, the news came to me quickly." Greg replied, "We were also present for the Disco Demolition Night in 1979 as well." Yakko said, "Yeah, I remember that, too, I was actually there, in the crowd." Slappy Squirrel replied, "Shame disco popularity declined, Black Dynamite liked disco, along with George Clinton." Black Dynamite said, "Oh, I love me some George Clinton." Honey Bee replied, "Performing at a concert with George Clinton is also one of my dreams." Cream Corn said, "A lot of things happened here growing up, lot has changed." Vincent said, "That's society for you." Volvox replied, he looks down and saw Pinky and the Brain, "What schemes are you two using to take over the world this time?" Volvox asked, everybody looks at him, "Is that Admiral Pinky and President Brain?" Boss asked, the ponies, Spike, and Young Six go see them, "Oh, you two are so cute." Fluttershy said, "Look, Brain, they already like us. Narf." Pinky said, "Focus, Pinky, we activate our plan when the time is right." Brain replied, "You guys already control the country, isn't that enough?" Dommiel asked, "No, I wish to take over the world." Brain replied, "Well, so far, all of your schemes have failed, some because of Pinky, some because of you, and some because of factors beyond your control." the Count of Saint Germain said, "You can travel through time, right?" Brain asked, "Yes." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "When do I take over the world?" Brain asked, "I believe about seven decades from now." the Count of Saint Germain replied, much to Brain's shock, "I doubt someone as small as them can overthrow us." Sandbar said, "Trust me, they've actually came close several times." Volvox replied, "I'm sorry, but I just find that hard to imagine." Princess Cadence said, and they see Pinky and the Brain drinking, "Which one is Pinky?" Pinkie Pie asked, "I am. Narf." Pinky replied, "You have the same name as me." Pinkie Pie said, "Look at that, Brain, there's another me in this world." Pinky said, "I noticed, Pinky, somehow, the universe has created a hybrid between you and Pharfignewton." Brain replied, "Pharfignewton?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "A horse from our world, she's also my girlfriend." Pinky replied, surprising the ponies, Spike, and Young Six, "A mouse and a horse dating? I didn't know different types of animals could go out with one another." Fluttershy said, "Yona confused." Yona said, "I am as well." Brain replied, "So, what are you two?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I'm a genius, he's insane." Brain replied, they just look at him with a confused face and went to the others. Sunset Shimmer was with Mordecai and Rigby, Benson, Pops, Skips, Muscle Man, and Hi Five Ghost were with them, "I'd like to thank Mordecai and Rigby on that driving test, I start the City Slicking test tomorrow." Sunset Shimmer said, Mordecai and Rigby were nervous, "That one is hard, Sunset Shimmer, it's going to take a lot of tries." Mordecai said, "Did you guys beat it?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "I did, just barely." Benson replied, "You have to stay calm, no matter what, also, you can't stop or use the brakes, you will fail automatically if you do." Skips said, "What?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "You need go fast, stay cool, and watch out for traffic, if you need it, I can give you a few tips." Muscle Man replied, "I'll try on my own first, thanks." Sunset Shimmer said, and she drank with them. Yakko, Wakko, and Dot sat together and Wakko ate all of the pizza and peanuts in the bar, "Don't you have anymore, Wakko?" Yakko asked, Wakko takes out his gag bag and takes out more pizza, surprising the world's natives who were there, Pinkie Pie hopped to him, "What else you have in there?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Pretty much everything you can imagine." Wakko replied, and a second Pinkie Pie came out, much to the rest of the Mane Six's shocks, but it was zapped away and Discord appeared, "Why keep a bag when you have someone who can do it with their powers?" Discord asked, "Because you won't be able to if you die." Dot replied, "Excuse me, but I am immortal." Discord said, "Yeah, because you were on Star Trek." Yakko replied, "That is not what I meant." Discord said, "Yes, it is." Yakko, Wakko, and Dot said, "No, it's not." Discord said, "Yes, it is." Yakko, Wakko, and Dot said, "No, it's not." Discord said, "Yes, it is." Yakko, Wakko, and Dot said, "Yes, it is." Discord said, "No, it's..." Yakko, Wakko, and Dot said, but stopped, "What?" Dot asked, "Hey!" Yakko said, "Nice try, but that game doesn't work on me." Discord replied, and he takes Wakko's gag bag, "Now, to do..." Discord said, "Actually, since you're playing the bad guy, the script says you have to tell us your plan before you act it out." Yakko said, Discord shoots out eye beams and burns the story's script, "No, I don't, I'm not a James Bond villain." Discord said, and he uses the gag bag to make a cannon come out, he fires it at the wall and it goes through, they see Discord was aiming for the Katamari, "Oh, that his plan, it's so the stars and moon don't come back." Yakko said, Princess Luna becomes shocked and flies to the hole, she sees several stars have returned, but the moon was not back, "Yes!" Discord said, "If only he knew." Dot said, "Knew what?" Discord asked, he sees the cannonball hit the Katamari, but rather than destroying it, it got stuck onto the Katamari, "What?" Discord asked, Pinkie Pie dashed to him, "I want a Katamari!" Pinkie Pie said, "Oh no, Pinkie Pie, I don't think that's a good idea." Twilight Sparkle replied as she pushed her away, "Hey, look, the Prince rolled up Caillou." Yakko said, and they heard Caillou crying as he was stuck on the Katamari, everyone was speechless, they soon saw the King of All Cosmos take up the Katamari and make it into a star, making the world's natives uneasy, while the people in the neighborhood just went on drinking. Courage screams and he ran into the Stray Sheep since the King of all Cosmos scared him, he panted and he saw Fluttershy fly to him, "Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked, Courage screamed with fear at seeing her, "Hey, it's okay, I'm friendly, see?" Fluttershy asked, and she wrapped her wings around him, Courage's fear went away and he felt comfort, "Come along now." Fluttershy said, and Courage followed her to her friends. Professor Utonium was attending to an injured Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup, "Now, girls, this is why I told you three to be careful when fighting crime, this Mr. Salacia is a new enemy." Professor Utonium said, "He still scares me." Bubbles said, "I don't get it, just what is he?" Blossom asked, "Yeah, he's almost like HIM." Buttercup said, "I don't know, girls, but you all saw how powerful Mr. Salacia was, you must take extreme caution when near him." Professor Utonium said, the world's natives took note of what they were talking about. Everybody goes home and Vincent left after a few drinks, the world's natives also head home and sleep for the night. Princess Luna goes into the dream realm and brought all of the dreams together, they see Bubbles having a nightmare and saw Mr. Salacia, shocking the ponies and Spike, Princess Luna zaps it away while the others were concerned. Everypony and Spike looks and saw Vincent having the dream again, "Where are they at now?" Applejack asked, "It looks like a giant spiral staircase." Rainbow Dash replied, they watch and saw Vincent make it to the top, he went up to the next landing. Vincent goes up and saw everybody was still there, he saw a new sheep, "Who is that?" Vincent asked, "It's me, Vincent." the sheep replied, Vincent realized it was Tom, "Sarah still won't let you in the house?" Vincent asked, "No." Tom replied, "Well, go on, Vincent, we can't think of anymore new moves." Dommiel said, and Vincent went, "Where is everybody?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's just Volvox, Dommiel, that Saint Germain guy, Giovi, and Tom." Applejack replied, they saw Vincent go to the confessional booth, answer the question, and goes up to the next place. Vincent climbs and collected the gold coins along the way, he got up to the top in a few minutes while solving the puzzles, he goes up to the next landing. Vincent goes up and saw Volvox, Dommiel, and the Count of Saint Germain, "Where's Giovi and Tom?" Vincent asked, "They already went up, we'll be going soon." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "What are you three doing?" Vincent asked, "We are trying to find out who is behind that glass there, I think I know who it is, it's one of the demons of Ars Goetia, all seventy two of them used to serve under me." Volvox replied, "Oh, well, I'll be going then." Vincent said, he spoke with the voice, answered the question, and went up. Vincent arrives at the third stage and climbs up the blocks, he almost got stuck in a few areas, "Wow, tonight is actually pretty long." Shining Armor said, "That reminds me, what time is it?" Sweetie Belle asked, "I don't know, since the moon and stars are not completely back, yet." Princess Luna replied, they watched Vincent climb and he made it to the top, he goes up to the next landing. Vincent arrives and saw only Volvox and Dommiel were there, "Giovi and the Count of Saint Germain already left, we're going last." Dommiel said, "Oh, okay, I'll be on my way, then." Vincent replied, and he went into the confessional booth, answered the question, and went up to the next area. Vincent arrives at the fourth area and saw the end was already close to him, "Ha! That's easy, I can get up there in less than ten seconds." Rainbow Dash said, "Rainbow Dash, remember, Vincent doesn't have wings, he can't fly." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Maybe I can make it up there." Pinkie Pie said, they saw Vincent arrive at the top and he goes up to the next landing. Vincent arrives and everypony and Spike saw a sheep with a tie, Vincent tried to talk to him, but it made the sheep angry, "My, how rude." Rarity said, and they saw Vincent go into the booth, he was told this was the last question and he answers it, he goes up to the next area. Vincent arrives at the fifth area, "Vincent Brooks... How are you feeling?" a male voice asked, "Wh... Who's there?!" Vincent asked, "Who, you ask...?" a male voice asked as it comes up, it had a black body, a white smiling mask on its face, and a yellow left eye, its right eye could not be seen, "Someone you know all too well." the being said and laughed, Vincent screamed in terror along with the foals, so did Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle. Vincent runs across the blocks and comes to a pile of blocks, the shadow appears behind it, "It's too late." the being said, and it knocks the pile down, the left half of its mask broke off, and Vincent kept climbing. Vincent keeps going and the being makes it pitch black, "What?! How is he supposed to see?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "It's alright, Rainbow, see, the area he's at is still lit up pretty good." Applejack replied, and they see it, Vincent keeps climbing and arrives at the exit, they saw the same sheep with the tie, they converse and learn the sheep's name is Steve, they talk about Catherine and realize they might be the same person. The black being comes up and his mask breaks off, revealing he has the same face as Vincent, which shocked the ponies and Spike, "Hey, come on!" Vincent said, but the being grabs Steve and eats him, horrifying the ponies and Spike, it smiles at Vincent and he opens the door and runs out of the area, the night ended when he entered and everypony and Spike exited the dream realm. The next morning comes and the Mane Six look through the window at Vincent's home, Catherine was not there, he sighs in relief and heads outside, he just head straight to work while ignoring the Mane Six, making them worried, but they continue with their days. Sunset Shimmer does the City Slicking test, it was the last driving test, and she was having trouble, Mordecai and Rigby guided her, she was getting more and more irritated, "Come on, move out of the way!" Sunset Shimmer said, she crashes and hits a vehicle that was driving on the wrong side of the road, "What are you doing?!" Sunset Shimmer asked angrily, and she had to start over, she tries again and ends up flipping the car over since the Super GT was hard to control, she growls loudly as she started over, she drives again and the car fishtails, she crashes into a tree and bent the front bumper, she let out a loud groan and started over, she drives again and was about to crash, but she hit the emergency brakes and stopped the car, which made her fail, "Come on! This is ridiculous!" Sunset Shimmer said, "Trust me, Sunset Shimmer, it took me and Rigby months to pass this one." Mordecai replied, "Yeah, and we tried like ten times every day." Rigby said, "What medal did you guys get?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Bronze, we just barely passed." Mordecai replied, "Oh, I see, well, let's try again." Sunset Shimmer said, and she did, she drives and was about to make it to the finish line, but hits a police car parked right in front of it, "What?! What are you doing?!" Sunset Shimmer asked, the police sirens come on and was about to arrest Sunset Shimmer, "What was my time, Rigby?" Sunset Shimmer asked, Rigby looks, "Oh, you would've passed." Rigby replied, Sunset Shimmer growls furiously and floors the accelerator, she hits the police into the wall and tries again. Sunset Shimmer keeps trying and did not finish until after about the twenty third try, "Argh! I got silver!" Sunset Shimmer said, and she drives again while growling, she keeps trying and was getting road rage from the traffic, Sunset Shimmer kept trying but was tired, "I give up for today, let's try again tomorrow." Sunset Shimmer said, and she walked away, "Where are you going?" Mordecai asked, "I'm going to go see the others in this neighborhood." Sunset Shimmer replied, and she walked away while Mordecai and Rigby went back to work. Pinkie Pie decided to expand her business into the neighborhood, and for some reason, she already knew how to use a telephone, she was delivering pizza, and got her first call, and she hopped to the destination. Pinkie Pie hops to where the caller lived, it was the Watterson residence, she sees a paper that says deliver at the back door, so she hopped there and put the pizza box on the ground, and knocked on the door three times with front right hoof. Gumball, Darwin, Bart, Riley, Eddy, Shake, Carl, and Roger were in the house, Roger uses his powers to turn on the computer and play a video on Youtube,, "Who is it?" the man on the computer asked, "Pinkie Pie, here with your yummy to the tummy deluxe sized super party pizza!" Pinkie Pie replied, Roger clicks to a part of the video, "Leave it on the doorstep and get the hell out of here." the man on the video said, Pinkie Pie stopped smiling and had a bewildered face, "Um, what about my bits?" Pinkie Pie asked, confusing the people in the house, they shrug and Roger moves the video to the next part, "What money?" the man on the video asked, "You have to pay for the pizza." Pinkie Pie replied in a deadpan by stern tone, Roger clicks to move the video to another part, "Is that a fact? How much do I owe ya?" the man on the video asked, "That'll be three bits." Pinkie Pie replied, and Richard tells Gumball with a head gesture to give her the money, which was three pennies, it is put outside through the flap door at the bottom of the back door, Pinkie Pie sees it and sits to count the pennies, she takes them, Roger moves the video to another part, "Keep the change, you filthy animal." the man on the video said, "Meanie." Pinkie Pie said as she began to walk away, Roger moves the video back, "Hey." the man on the video said, "Huh?" Pinkie Pie asked while looking over her right shoulder, "I'm gonna give you to the count of ten, to get your ugly, yellow, no good keister off of my property, before I pump your guts full of lead. One, two, ten." the man on the video said, and he begins firing a Tommy Gun while laughing manically. Pinkie Pie was scared and ran away while screaming, she tripped while heading to the front yard but got back up, she ran away while screaming in terror. Richard opens the door and takes in the pizza, he eats it with Gumball, Darwin, Bart, Riley, Shake, Carl, and Roger and they laugh at what they just pulled off. Rarity was in the neighborhood and chasing after a female human thief, who stole one of her hats, "Stop! Thief! Come back here!" Rarity said as she ran to her, they enter an apartment and she uses the elevator, Rarity calls for an elevator and it comes down, it goes up to the next floor and Rarity saw the thief enter a room, Rarity heads into the room while the thief turns on the TV, which Rarity did not see, "Hold it right there." the man on the TV said, Rarity stopped, "I am in the middle of catching a thief, who has stolen one of my most fashionable hats!" Rarity said, "I know who you are, I can smell you getting off the elevator." the man on the TV said, Rarity blushed and her entire face turned deep red with embarrassment, "Well, I am wearing a new type of perfume." Rarity said, she heard Rainbow Dash laughing outside, who overheard what the man on the TV said, "Rainbow Dash." Rarity grumbled under her breath, "You was here, too, last night. Wasn't ya?" the man on the TV asked, "Yes... I was, to try to get rid of that sagging trend, it is so disgusting." Rarity replied, "You was here, and you were smoochin' with my brother." the man on the TV said, Rarity exclaimed with great shock, "Why, I most certainly was not!" Rarity said, "Don't give me that. You've been smooching with everybody! Snuffy, Al, Leo, Little Moe with the gimpy leg, Cheeks, Boney, Bob, Cliff... I could go on forever, baby." the man on the TV said, which humiliated Rarity, "I did not do such a thing!" Rarity said angrily, "Alright, I believe you, but my Tommy Gun don't! Get on your knees and tell me you love me!" the man on the TV said, Rarity's feeling were very hurt, she began to cry dramatically, "How could you?! How could you make a lady give up her dignity like this?!" Rarity asked while crying dramatically, "You gotta do better than that!" the man on the TV said, Rarity cried dramatically even louder, "This is too cruel, out of all of the things in the world, I have to pledge my love to you, a lowlife ruffian who doesn't even know the first thing about romance!" Rarity said, "Maybe I'm off my hinges, but I believe you. That's why I'm gonna let you go. I'm gonna give you till the count of three to get your lousy, lying, low-down, four-flushing carcass out my door! One, two..." the man on the TV said, and he began firing his Tommy Gun while laughing maniacally, Rarity screamed with fear and ran out of the room and then got on her stomach with her front hoofs covering her head while the man continued firing, he soon stopped, "Three. Merry Christmas, you filthy animal." the man on the TV said, he shot more bullets, "And a Happy New Year." the man on the TV said, and he shot one more bullet. Rarity crawled out of the apartment while panting with fear, she arrives outside and saw the thief was nowhere to be found, she let out an angry groan and went back to her shop to make the hat again. Volvox and Dommiel were outside and watching the neighborhood, they hear Tom singing Let It Burn by Usher in their house, they could not help but laugh at his terrible singing and messing up the lyrics, they hear motorcycles and saw Chibs coming with the rest of the Sons of Anarchy gang, Tig was to his right, and Happy was to his left, they park in front of him and Chibs, Tig, and Happy walked to them, "What brings you guys here?" Volvox asked, "We have been told one of our trades went wrong and sent the guns to your house." Chibs replied, "We didn't receive any weapons today." Dommiel said, "How do we know you're not lying?" Chibs asked, "You're free to look inside of our home." Volvox replied, and the Sons of Anarchy enters his house. The gang checks Volvox's home and hear Tom singing, they laugh at his terrible singing, but they continue checking and saw Volvox did not have their weapons, they come out and go to him, "You were right, I don't know why we were told you had it." Chibs said, "Maybe the people who did are actually the thieves." Volvox replied, the Sons of Anarchy gang thought about it and decided to give it a try, they were about to take off but Rainbow Dash flew to them, "Wow, these look so cool." Rainbow Dash said as she looked at the motorcycles, "Thanks, they're all custom made." Tig replied, Rarity was heading back to her shop but sees the gang, she goes over and sees their sleeveless jackets, "Ugh, I can't say that skull is attractive." Rarity said, the gang looks at her, "You don't like it?" Chibs asked, "Not really, but it is better than those who are wearing their pants below their bottoms." Rarity replied, she looked back and saw a lot of residents in the neighborhood sagging, which made her cringe, "Well, I'm sorry, lady, but we have business to conduct elsewhere." Chibs said, and he drove away with the rest of the gang following him, everybody else there went on with their days. Feather Bangs was in the neighborhood and he began to sing with his autotune, "Hey, buddy." Stan said, Feather Bangs looked at him, "You should see our version of you." Stan said, Feather Bangs and saw Justin Bieber singing Baby with autotune while grabbing his crotch, which horrified Feather Bangs, the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Pinkie Pie screamed with shock and Pinkie Pie used her reality warping powers to poof him away, "No! That is not dancing!" Pinkie Pie said, "Michael Jackson would disagree." Cartman replied, "This is dancing!" Pinkie Pie said, and she danced while the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Feather Bangs joined her, Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny just watch. Rarity trots around a few hours after finishing remaking the hat that was stolen from her and sees humans dressed in strange clothing, she goes to them, "What are you all wearing?" Rarity asked, "We're cosplaying." one boy replied, "Cosplaying?" Rarity asked, "You know, when you dress up as a character from a TV show, book, movie, or anime." a girl said, "So, who are you all supposed to be?" Rarity asked, "I'm Ichigo from Bleach." the boy replied, "I cannot say I like that mask, though." Rarity said, "I'm Konata from Lucky Star." the girl said, "I'm Luffy from One Piece." a second boy said, "I'm Kid Muscle from Ultimate Muscle." a third boy said, "I'm Sakura from Naruto." a second girl said, "I'm Goku from Dragon Ball." a fourth boy said, "I'm Yoruichi from Bleach." a third girl said, "I'm Hei from Darker Than Black." a fifth boy said, "What a strange looking mask you have on." Rarity said, "I'm Natsu from Fairy Tale." a sixth boy said, "I'm Kurumi from Date A Live." a fourth girl said, Rarity looked at them with bewilderment, "I must say, you all have some weird outfits on." Rarity said, "There's more over there." the fifth boy said while pointing to his right, and Rarity saw five more boys, one was dressed up like Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars, and the other three were dressed up like Jim, Bones, and Spock from Star Trek, "This cosplaying fashion intrigues me, please, I must see more." Rarity said, "They're all over the neighborhood, you just need to walk around a bit." the second girl replied, and Rarity did. Rarity looks around and saw a lot of cosplaying in the neighborhood, she trotted around and liked some more than others, she did not admit that deep down, they were giving her ideas and inspirations for new fashion, she also saw people sagging their pants wearing bling, which hurt her eyes due to how much gold there was, "Ugh." Rarity said as she saw the sagging, "I really hope that fashion goes away." Rarity said, and she trots more. Rarity trots but stops when she sees Rainbow Dash with some of the humans, "See, that is how you act cool." Rainbow Dash said, "We don't use cool no more." a human in a black business suit said, Rainbow Dash then remembered, "Plus, you're outdated, I got swag." the human said, Rainbow Dash thought about it, "Twenty percent more swag. Ugh, that doesn't sound right." Rainbow Dash said, "Well, go on, we have to get on with our days." the man said, "True, talk to ya later." Rainbow Dash replied, and she flew away, Rarity was not liking the neighborhood's slang either, but she decides to keep trotting around to look for cosplayers. Twilight Sparkle, Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and Flurry Heart all decided to go see Lucas, Ethan, and Shaun, they ask about what they did, Lucas talked about his powers and the Orange Clan and the Purple Clan, "Still though, the thought of a clan controlling society and no one knowing about them." Shining Armor said, "That's scary." Princess Cadence said, "Well, I never met them, I fought their enforcer, the Oracle, he and I have the same powers." Lucas replied, "What about this Purple Clan?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "They're the ones who revived me." Lucas replied, "Wait, you mean, you're...?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yeah, I'm dead." Lucas replied, "What about your wife, Carla?" Shining Armor asked, "She's out of the neighborhood right now." Lucas replied, "You said, you had a girlfriend before her, right?" Princess Cadence asked, "Yeah, Tiffany, she was killed alongside with me, but she wasn't revived by the Purple Clan like how I was." Lucas replied, surprising Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, Twilight Sparkle, and Flurry Heart, "What about you, Ethan, what's your story?" Twilight Sparkle asked, and Ethan talked about Jason, Grace, Shaun, and the five trials he had to go through to save Shaun, "Wow, I can't believe it, you had to go through all of that danger and hardships just to save your son." Twilight Sparkle said, "Dad and I have been together ever since, mom divorced him after Jason died." Shaun replied, "You're a good father, Ethan, you went through more dangers to save your son than I have to save my daughter." Shining Armor said, "Well, if you wish, I can babysit Shaun and be a surrogate mother to him." Princess Cadence said, "It's fine, Steven and his family also come to see me, I already have several surrogate mothers." Shaun replied, "Oh, well, I guess you won't need me, then." Princess Cadence said, "I'll look up to your example, Ethan, if Flurry Heart gets into the same situation, I'll go to the same lengths as you to save her." Shining Armor said, "Good luck, I'm glad I'm not the only one." Ethan replied, the four ponies smile, "Well, good luck on being a father, Ethan, you deserve your happiness." Twilight Sparkle said, Ethan smiled and they hugged Lucas, Ethan, and Shaun and left.

Phineas said, "Wow, it is huge!" Sandbar said, "Come on, everybody, let's ride it." Phineas said, and they board it while cheering, unbeknownst to them, Pinky and the Brain were watching them on television, with Brain ready to broadcast himself, "Now, Pinky, activate the devices!" Brain said, and he does, hypnotizing waves were sent out across the world from the roller coaster while it was in the sky, everybody was under control, "Yes!" Brain said as he saw it succeed, "Now, Pinky, put me on live!" Brain said, and he appeared on television, he also had a microphone hooked to loudspeakers so those outside the neighborhood can also hear him, "Attention all dwellers of this world. I am the Brain, from now on, I am your ruler, and you will obey me, for I have taken over your world, and will rule over this world for generations to come. My first command is..." Brain said, but Discord appeared in the area, which made him yelp, "How can you have taken over world when you haven't hypnotized me?" Discord asked, "What? How? Impossible!" Brain said with disbelief, "Brain, the roller coaster!" Pinky said, it goes down but Discord snaps his fingers and makes the hypnotizing devices disappear, "Noooo!" Brain said as his the signals disappeared and everybody was normal again, Brain looked down in despair and defeat while Discord's laugh echoed throughout the area. Phoenix was seeing to Trucy and Athena to make sure they were okay, running was heard and Apollo came, much to their surprises, "Apollo! How did you get here?" Phoenix asked, "Some white horse summoned me here when she said you and the others were in danger." Apollo replied, Phoenix was surprised to see Princess Celestia found Apollo, "Mr. Callahan, Mr. Morgan, and Ms. Brea already filled me in on the case, I heard there's a third person." Apollo said, "Yeah, Mel Hombre, Edgeworth's interviewing him." Phoenix replied, "I was also told about the Shocker from Taki, I'm here to defend you, Wright." Apollo said, "Thanks, Apollo, but you should be careful of them as well." Phoenix replied. The door opens and they saw Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Trixie enter, they go to him, "Oh, who is this?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Apollo Justice, my first apprentice." Phoenix replied, "Oh, you're Apollo, Phoenix told us about you." Twilight Sparkle said, "You know them, Phoenix?" Apollo asked, "Yeah, you see..." Phoenix replied, and he talked about the first time he visited Equestria, "Wow, and I thought our cases were crazy." Apollo said, "I was going to be sent to the sun for a crime I didn't commit, but Phoenix got me out." Rainbow Dash said, "The Great and Powerful Trixie remembers the case, Trixie lost against Phoenix." Trixie said, "Well, the trial's tomorrow, and Edgeworth is my rival." Phoenix replied, "Ah remember the last trial." Apple Bloom said, "I remember it, too." Scootaloo said, "I wanna come!" Sweetie Belle said, "Of course you can come, Sweetie Belle." Phoenix replied, Sweetie Belle smiled, "Apollo Justice is doing fine!" Apollo said, "Athena Cykes is doing fine!" Athena said, "What are they doing?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's a confidence booster for them." Phoenix replied, they look and watch them, "Can we hang out with you, Phoenix?" Spike asked, "I'm sorry, but I have to get ready for tomorrow's trial, you all should go." Phoenix replied, and they left while Phoenix got ready for tomorrow's trial. Several hours pass and Onizuka took the class to the police station for a field trip, the world's natives went back home already, Bart saw megaphones, he grabbed one, "Testing." Bart said, he put a second one in front of it, "Testing." Bart said, it was louder, he looks at the others and gets an idea. Bart puts fifteen megaphones together and turns them on, a fly flies by it and it shook the megaphones, Bart laughed to himself and licked his lips, he leans towards the closest megaphone, "Testing." Bart said, he is shot back and the megaphones fly away. A shock wave is sent around the neighborhood and it destroys all of the glass in the neighborhood, the world's natives heard it as well; Volvox was with Dommiel and Tom, Tom was playing golf, "I think I'm getting a hold of this game." Tom said, "You only started playing golf because you watched Happy Gilmore." Dommiel replied, Tom hits the ball and Bart's megaphone voice sends the ball flying out of bounds, "No!" Tom said while Volvox and Dommiel chuckled; Pinkie Pie was making a souffle and it was complete, Bart's voice on the megaphones comes to Sugarcube Corner and makes all of the glass in the shop break, Pinkie Pie screamed while the glass flew towards her, the souffle exploded in the process, "Nooooooooooooo!" Pinkie Pie said as she was on her hind knees with her front legs in the air; Rarity was cleaning Carousel Boutique and was done, "Ah, after three hours of cleaning nonstop, and at last, everything is spotless." Rarity said, Bart's megaphone voice comes to the boutique and all of the glass shatters, and everything Rarity just cleaned gets on the floor, walls, and ceiling, making it even messier than when she began, Rarity fell to the floor and cried, "Why? Oh, why? Oh, why?" Rarity asked, and she bawled. The residents of Ponyville and Princess Celestia flew to the neighborhood and complained, they saw it was Bart who did it, which made Bullhorn, Cream Corn, Honey Bee, Carl, Eddy, Riley, Cartman, Hoagie, and Shake laugh, "Damn *burp* it, Bart, we *burp* have to start over because of *burp* your prank!" Rick said, Bart laughed, "Do you know how much we have to pay to fix this?!" Buttercup asked, "Don't worry, I can undo it." Roger replied, and he used his godlike powers to undo the damage, while the Prince rolled up the pieces of glass with the Katamari, "That is it!" Twilight Sparkle said and everybody looked at her, "I am having you all attend the School of Friendship!" Twilight Sparkle said, "Most of us already finished school." Robert replied, "The School of Friendship doesn't work that way, come with me, all of you!" Twilight Sparkle said, and she leads them. Huey, Riley, Jazmine, Bart, Lisa, Chris, Meg, Stewie, Gumball, Darwin, Anais, Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, Butters, Nigel, Hoagie, Kuki, Wally, Abby, Billy, Mandy, Steven, Skippy Squirrel, Ed, Edd, Eddy, Bubbles, Blossom, Buttercup, Nick, Lance, Alice, Mercer, Silver, Rock, Aero, Randy, Onizuka, Yakko, Wakko, Dot, Rita, Runt, Buttons, Mindy, Bobby, Pesto, Squit, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Bismuth, Peridot, Lapis Lazuli, Greg, Shake, Frylock, Meatwad, Grim, and Slappy Squirrel were taken to the School of Friendship, Pinkie Pie's class was the first one, "Hello, everyone, welcome to your first class, I will teach you all how to have fun." Pinkie Pie said, "Have fun?! That is the most ridiculous school subject I have ever heard!" Nigel replied, "Guys, this isn't a normal school, this school teaches friendship." Sandbar said, "But how is someone able to teach how to have fun? Not everybody enjoys the same activities." Blossom replied, "My job is to get you all to participate in an activity that's fun. Let's start with you, Shake, what do you do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Oh, that one's easy, this is fun." Shake replied, and he picked up Meatwad and threw him against a desk, "Ow!" Meatwad said as he fell and the objects got stuck in him, "No, Shake, we have fun without hurting others." Pinkie Pie said, "Oh wait, I know something that's fun and teaches friendship, the international friendship song." Yakko said, "Ooh, I wanna hear it." Pinkie Pie replied, the Young Six agreed, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot began to sing, "Ist das nicht ein Pinkie's gut?" Yakko asked, Pinkie Pie felt embarrassed, "Ja, das ist ein Pinkie's gut." Wakko and Dot said, "Ist das nicht ein Pinkie's butt?" Yakko asked, Pinkie Pie screamed out of shock, "Ja, das ist ein Pinkie's butt." Wakko and Dot replied, "Pinkie's gut, Pinkie's butt. Oh, du schöne, oh, du schöne, Oh, du schöne schnitzelbank!" Yakko, Wakko, and Dot said together, "Stop! Stop! Stop!" Pinkie Pie said, and they did, "What kind of international friendship song is this?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "Exactly what it is." Yakko replied, Pinkie Pie hears laughing and saw Riley, Bart, Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, Butters, Hoagie, Kuki, Wally, Abby, Eddy, Buttercup, Nick, Lance, Mercer, Aero, Randy, Onizuka, Rita, Mindy, Amethyst, Shake, Grim, Slappy Squirrel, Gallus, Yona, and Smolder were laughing, "Yona want to learn song." Yona said, "No! I'm not having fun!" Pinkie Pie replied, they continue laughing, "Do you have any instruments, Pinkie Pie?" Steven asked, "Sure, what do you play?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Uh, a ukulele." Steven replied, Pinkie Pie was speechless, "I don't think I have that one." Pinkie Pie said, "I do." Wakko replied, and he took one out of his gag bag, and he gave it to him, Steven plays music and Pinkie Pie enjoyed it, she joined in and played her instruments, Kuki joined in to dance, Steven finished the song, "Wow! Where'd you learn to play?" Pinkie Pie asked, "My dad taught me." Steven replied, "Really?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "Yup, I was a musician before Steven was born." Greg replied, "What do you play?" Pinkie Pie asked excitedly, "An electric guitar." Greg replied, "I have an acoustic guitar." Pinkie Pie said, "I play that, too." Greg replied, and Pinkie Pie gave it to him, "Okay, here goes." Greg said, and he plays a song, the Young Six enjoyed it while some of the residents from the neighborhood did not, "This isn't fun!" Wally said, "I must agree with Numbuh Four, we have better things to do." Nigel replied, "I have fun when I fight." Mercer said, Pesto, Amethyst, Cartman, Bart, Riley, and Mandy agreed, "No, no, no, we are not doing that." Pinkie Pie replied, "Can we learn something useful for once?" Anais asked, "Yeah, this information seems useless so far." Lisa said, "Well, my job is to teach you guys how to have fun." Pinkie Pie replied, "We have fun from actually learning new things." Anais said, "And Darwin and I have fun from doing pranks." Gumball said, "I did a prank earlier today." Bart replied, "Yeah, we saw that." Darwin said, "No, don't get me wrong, I like pranks, too, but we don't do pranks that causes destruction or harm to others here." Pinkie Pie replied, the others look at her, "What do the rest of you do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "This!" Peridot replied, and she shapes the metallic objects in the class to different shapes, the Young Six were in awe, "I like to do this." Lapis Lazuli said, and she makes her water wings take on different shapes, Silverstream was excited and flew into her wings, she changed to a seapony and swam around, "Can you please get out, I'm not comfortable with that." Lapis Lazuli said, Silverstream changed back to a hippogriff and flew back to her seat, "Sorry." Silverstream said, the bell rung shortly afterwards, "Already?" Gallus asked, "Well, it's late, so we have to shorten class today, onto your next class, everybody." Pinkie Pie said, and they exited the room. The worlds natives walk through the hallway, "What kind of school is this? It's as boring as a regular school." Bart said, "It teaches friendship, Pinkie Pie's class teaches how to have fun." Ocellus replied, "That is actually impossible since not everyone enjoys the same activities." Huey said, "Yeah, some of us like fighting and hitting others." Buttercup said, "I like givin' people explosives, always makes me laugh." Slappy Squirrel said, "Guys, Pinkie Pie teaches how to have fun without hurting others." Sandbar replied, "Well, tell her to find another way." Bobby said, "Yeah, I like hurtin' others, it's funny." Pesto said, "Fighting is kind of what us Goodfeathers do." Squit said, "Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, and I like going on adventures and playing with weapons." Butters said, "I join them sometimes as well." Randy said, "What was your original teacher's class like?" Silverstream asked, "Better than this place so far." Stan replied, "Really?" Smolder asked, "Yeah, Onizuka's an awesome teacher." Kyle replied, Onizuka did a pose while crossing his arms and sporting the most arrogant smile on his face, "Come on, we have to go to our next class, we'll be late." Sandbar said, "Where do we go next, Yakko?" Dot asked, Yakko had a script with him, "According to this story's script, we're going to Fluttershy's class next." Yakko replied, "This way, guys." Sandbar said, and they go. Everybody arrives into Fluttershy's class, "Hello, everyone, I hope you all get nice and comfy, today, I'll be teaching you all about animals." Fluttershy said, "Oh no, we've had enough problems with ManBearPig." Kyle replied, "ManBearPig?" Fluttershy asked, "Dangerous animal from our world." Stan replied, "Funny you say that, he's right here in my box." Dot said, and he came out, scaring the animals, it went back in a few seconds later, "Th... that's not an animal." Fluttershy said, she sighed and pulled herself together, "Okay, I'm going to teach you all how to take care of these animals and how to get along with them." Fluttershy said, "Teach us?! Forget teaching, I'm frickin' hungry!" Carl said, "Yeah, I say we eat them." Shake said, "Me too, that's a lot of food for us." Riley said, "We'll probably be mauled to death if we try." Huey replied, they look and saw how many animals were ready to fight them, "Hope you don't have a wolf, a squid, or a bison, can't stand them." Slappy Squirrel said, "Why not?" Fluttershy asked, "Past experiences." Slappy Squirrel replied, "I should've brought Hand Banana here." Shake said, "Or Spaghetti." Carl replied and laughs, "What kind of dogs were those two?" Fluttershy asked, "Is something wrong with them?" Shake asked, "Yes, Hand Banana was shaped like your hand, and Spaghetti had the same body and hair as him." Fluttershy said, "I'll leave that up to your imagination." Shake replied and laughs; Bobby, Pesto, and Squit look at the animals, "Is that a sparrow I see over there?" Bobby asked, Pesto and Squit look, "It is a sparrow! Come here! I'll uppercut your beak off!" and Pesto was flying to fight the sparrow, Fluttershy flew in front of him and stares at him, it scared Pesto and he flew down, "What's gotten into you?" Fluttershy asked, "Sorry, from where we're from, sparrows are our enemies." Squit replied, "Why?" Fluttershy asked, "Rival gang." Bobby said, "Gang?!" Fluttershy asked with shock, Riley laughed, "That's right, I look up to these three, they're gangsta." Riley said, "What's that supposed to mean? You're saying I'm gangsta?" Pesto asked, "Yeah, it's cool." Riley replied, "I'm gangsta? You're saying I'm gangsta? Like I'm some puny little runt you can step on and walk over? Is that what you're saying?" Pesto asked, "No, I just said you're gangsta." Riley replied, "That's it! I'll show you gangsta!" Pesto said and he began to attack Riley, "PESTO!!" Fluttershy yelled and she stared at him again, which made him stop, Riley looked back and saw her, it made him obey her as well, "Better, now to talk about the animals." Fluttershy said, and she did, Kuki loved the animals while Huey provided information on which parts of the animals were edible to eat, which Fluttershy was not happy about, the bell rung afterwards, "Have a good day, everyone." Fluttershy said, "Next up is Rarity." Yakko said, Smolder sighed while the others went to her class, "You remind me of a very young Dr. Dolittle." Slappy Squirrel said to Fluttershy, and she left with the others. Everybody sat and Rarity was ready to teach, "Welcome class, today, we'll be making fashion." Rarity said, and she turned around to get the supplies, "Hello, equine nurse." Yakko and Wakko said, Rarity was disturbed and turned around, "I am not a nurse!" Rarity said, "Boys, go fig." Dot said, "Now then, class, we'll be making outfits, and be sure you share, supplies are limited." Rarity said, and she handed them out with her telekinesis. Pearl was making her outfits easily, "Pearl, you're being a bit specific." Garnet said, "Everything has to be symmetrical." Pearl replied, "I have no idea on how to do this." Lapis Lazuli said, "Me neither." Peridot replied, "I finished." Bismuth said, and she shows off a suit of armor, Rarity screamed and ran to her, "No, we are making outfits, not armor." Rarity said, "Actually, they're the same thing to us." Amethyst said, "Yeah, Bismuth's job is to build things, fashion isn't really her thing." Steven said, "Uh-huh! I got you now, needle!" Peridot said, and she made the needle float in midair, surprising the world's natives, "Uh, darling, what is your name?" Rarity asked, "Peridot Facet-2F5L Cut-5XG." Peridot replied, "I can't say I like your hairstyle, it doesn't look very fashionable." Rarity said, "I was made this way." Peridot replied, "I can't say I like that square afro, either." Rarity said, "It's part of my physical form." Garnet replied, "What about my hairstyle?" Amethyst asked, Rarity looks at it, "Hmm, maybe we can style it into something more fashionable." Rarity said, and she began to style Amethyst's hair, it was all wavy and part of it was tied into a bun on the back of her head, "I liked her better with her hair down." Dot said, "Yeah, I agree." Amethyst replied after looking at herself in a mirror, and shapeshifted back to her regular hairstyle, "What the?" Silverstream asked, "Yeah, it surprises us, too, they can change their physical form at will." Silver replied, Billy began to cry, "Grim, help, every time I move this needle, the fabrics get more and more stuck together!" Billy said, "Dumb as always." Mandy said, "Tell me about it." Grim said, "Hey, can I have some sewing material?" Gallus asked, "No, get your own." Riley replied, Rarity ran to him, "Excuse me, I have clearly told you to share at the beginning of class." Rarity said, "I ain't sharin' anything." Riley replied, Rarity grunted and groaned annoyingly while walking away to think of Riley's punishment, Riley looks and laughs, "She should have came to our field trip to the prison and meet that one convict." Riley said, "Funny you say that, he's in my gag bag." Wakko replied, and the convict came out, he ran towards Rarity, "Booty!" the convict said and he grabbed Rarity's flank, she screamed, "Hands off of my flank!" Rarity said angrily and blasted him away with her magic, the convict was about to get up but Wakko hits him with his giant mallet and it made him dizzy, "Here, have a gift." Slappy Squirrel said, and he gave him a bomb, which exploded on him, Rarity let out a long annoyed grunt, "That is not what my class is about!" Rarity said, "What? That doesn't count as sharing?" Slappy Squirrel asked, "No!" Rarity replied angrily, the bell rung afterwards, Rarity sighed, "Go on to your next class, darlings." Rarity said, "Ooh, Rainbow Dash is next." Yakko said as he looked at the script, and they went. Rainbow Dash flew around and was ready to teach, "Okay, guys, say hello to Rainbow Dash, the coolest teacher in the school." Rainbow Dash said, "Ugh." Riley said, "Okay, let's start by working together, and building a fort from these desks." Rainbow Dash said, and everybody except Riley did, "Why aren't you helping?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Cause you got a rainbow on ya, and rainbows are gay." Riley replied, Rainbow Dash was shocked at first, and then growled angrily at him, "No, they're not, rainbows are pretty!" Silverstream said, "Where did that even come from?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "It's a symbol from our culture, rainbows are usually associated with same gender love, which is taboo to us." Huey replied, shocking the world's natives. Cartman laughs while he takes pictures of the faces of the Young Six and other ponies, "These faces will make for great memes." Cartman said, Onizuka grabbed his phone and took it, "Hey! Randy just bought that for me!" Cartman said, "You know the rules, Cartman, no phones in the classroom." Onizuka replied, "Well, come on, help them out." Rainbow Dash said, "Dude, I am not learning anything about loyalty." Kyle said, "Neither are we." Darwin replied, "Yeah, Onizuka's lesson was better." Stan said, Kenny agreed in a muffled tone, "What did he just say?" Smolder asked, "He agrees with us." Butters replied, "What was his lesson on loyalty, then?" Rainbow Dash asked, "He had me and Bart fight, and he taught us not switch sides on cheering when the person we are cheering on starts losing." Cartman replied, Rainbow Dash was a little speechless, "I know, why don't we all do a prank together?" Bart asked, Rainbow Dash flew to him, "Hold on a minute there, Bart, don't get me wrong, I like pranks, too, I really do, but the last you did was too destructive." Rainbow Dash said, "Can we do a prank?" Gumball asked, "Please?" Darwin asked, "Sorry, guys, but I'll get in trouble with Headmare Twilight if I do." Rainbow Dash replied, everybody groaned, they look and see what the others doing, "BART!!" Lisa said, they all saw Bart built a butt that looked like it was farting, Bart was laughing, "She said build a fort! Not a fart!" Lisa said, Rainbow Dash laughed, "Hey, it's fine, you keep doing what you're doing, Bart." Rainbow Dash said, and he did while Lisa was annoyed. Pesto was not helping, "Pesto, you're being a jerk right now by not helping!" Rainbow Dash said, "What are you saying, are you saying that I'm a jerk?" Pesto asked, "Yeah!" Rainbow Dash replied, "So I'm a jerk, that's what you're saying? You're saying that I'm this stand offish guy who likes to stand out of the crowd and think I'm better than others. Is that what you're saying?" Pesto asked, "Yeah!" Rainbow Dash replied, "That's it! Come here!" Pesto said, "Oh, it's on!" Rainbow Dash said, and the two fight, "I'll show who the jerk is!" Pesto said, "I can do this all day!" Rainbow Dash said, and the two fought until the bell rung, "Go on to your last class, guys, I'll be busy dealing with this guy." Rainbow Dash said and she and Pesto continued fighting, "Come on, Applejack's class is this way." Sandbar said, and they go. Everybody sat in Applejack's class while she was at a desk, "Okay, y'all, since today is the last class, and we're short on time, tell me what y'all think about this school, and be honest with me." Applejack said, "What do I think?! This school is utterly pointless!" Nigel replied, "I must agree with Numbuh One, I didn't learn nothin'." Abby said, "School?! I thought you said this was a place to party!" Wally said, "Yeah, this isn't my area of knowledge." Hoagie said, "I had fun here." Kuki said, "Oh, me too." Bubbles replied, "I must agree with him, though, this school isn't helpful." Blossom said, "It's as boring as a regular school, too." Buttercup said, "What's a school?" Billy asked, "Billy!" Grim said sternly, "This is pointless." Mandy said, the door opens and they saw Rainbow Dash and Pesto were still fighting, "Enough, y'all!" Applejack said, "Now this looks fun." Buttercup said, and she flew in to join the fight, Wally and Mandy joined in the fighting as well, so did Gallus and Smolder, "I have to agree, this school is a bit pointless." Anais said, "I was hoping to learn new things, but I didn't." Lisa said, "What about the rest of y'all? Do y'all have the same things to say?" Applejack asked, they nodded, "Ugh, this school is worse when Peter had to play Jarney, a cross between Barney the Dinosaur and Jar Jar Binks." Stewie said, Peter was dressed up as a fat, pink Jar Jar Binks with a green stomach, and had yellow fingers, "Hi, kids, let's have fun today." Peter said with a Jamaican accent, the kids run away screaming from him, "Hey, come on, kids, let's spread some love to one another." Peter said, an anvil fell on him, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot walked over, "Some crossovers are better not happening." Yakko said, his two siblings nod as they look at Peter, who was squashed under the anvil. "Sorry, but this is stuff I already teach." Steven said, "That's great to hear, Steven, I think you'll make a fine teacher one day." Applejack replied, Steven smiled and the bell rung, "Well, that's all for today, have a good day, y'all." Applejack said, and they all went home, Bobby and Squit had to pull Pesto away and they all head back to the neighborhood. The Mane Six, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike gather together and the five tell Twilight Sparkle about the students, "I heard some of the commotion from my office, I don't think they're good students." Twilight Sparkle said, "I had a few problems with Riley and Pesto, that Pesto tried to pick a fight with me." Rainbow Dash replied, "And I don't like Slappy's sense of humor, bombs are not funny!" Pinkie Pie said, "Well, not all of them were bad, that Steven kid was good." Rarity replied, "Yes, I think he was the best student." Fluttershy said, "Plus, he said he's already teachin' the things we teach, I thought Gumball, Darwin, Anais, and Lisa were good, Chris, Meg, and Stewie were mostly quiet, though." Applejack replied, "I heard Wally and Billy from here, I think those two could use more education." Twilight Sparkle said, "Don't forget those three weird looking creatures, they embarrassed me, they sang about my stomach and flank!" Pinkie Pie said, "Look at me, someone in the class actually grabbed my flank!" Rarity replied, "Really?!" Spike asked with shock and anger, "Yes, Spike, darling, but I already dealt with him." Rarity replied, "What'd ya say, Twilight, should we have them attend again?" Applejack asked, "Well, if possible, then yes, but it won't be for a while, they'll tire us out if we see them every day, come on, let's take a break." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they do for the rest of the day. Volvox was trying to do some decorating and he made giant statues of himself appear in his front yard with him doing the poses from the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure manga, he made copies of himself to do poses that involved more than one person, the residents of the neighborhood see it and laugh, while the world's natives were confused, Volvox was outside and looking at the statues, he sees Princess Celestia walking to him from his right, he turns and faces her, "What are you doing?" Princess Celestia asked, "Redecorating the yard." Volvox replied, "What is with all of these poses?" Princess Celestia asked, "Just having fun." Volvox replied, Princess Celestia hears grunting and saw Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash trying to do the poses, "See, they're liking it." Volvox said, and more of the world's natives and neighborhood's residents join in and try to do the poses of the statues, Princess Celestia looks at them disapprovingly, but goes back to Canterlot. Night time comes and everybody was at the Stray Sheep, the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, princesses, Spike, Shining Armor, Sunburst, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Autumn Blaze entered the bar to see everyone, they saw everyone was quiet and mostly just eating, drinking, or smoking, "Uh, excuse me, everyone." Twilight Sparkle said, they all look at her, "Do you all want to continue coming to the school?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No." several said while others shake their heads, they look and saw Sarah and Jazmine, "Hey, Tom, your wife and daughter are here." Volvox said, "I'll see her another time, I'd doubt she would want to see me today." Tom replied, everybody hears clinking and saw Mr. Bean was hitting the alcohol glasses at his table with silverware that he brought on his own, Pinkie Pie and Autumn Blaze trotted to him, "Excuse me." Autumn Blaze said, Mr. Bean looked at them, "Can we join?" Autumn Blaze asked, Mr. Bean scooted over to his left and allowed them to sit with him, they made music with him and had fun. Sunset Shimmer trotted to Mordecai and Rigby, "I'd like to try again tomorrow." Sunset Shimmer said, "Alright, we'll go after we finish work." Rigby replied, "Remember to take your time, Sunset Shimmer, all of us struggled on that test." Benson said, "No one's ever got a gold medal on that test, you'd be the first one if you do." Skips said, Sunset Shimmer was more motivated, "If you want, I can go on to cheer you on as well." Pops said, "Thanks, that would be nice to have." Sunset Shimmer replied, "You know who else failed that test? My mom!" Muscle Man said, everybody looks at him with a confused face, "Uh, Muscle Man, I don't think now is the time for that." Hi Five Ghost said, "Well, anyway, I was hoping you guys could help me." Sunset Shimmer said, "Of course, we'll see what we can do." Mordecai replied, "Thanks, guys. Can I sit with you guys?" Sunset Shimmer asked, they agreed and let her sit with them. The door opens and someone enters, to the ponies' surprise, it was Tempest Shadow, "Sorry I'm late, I've been busy atoning." Tempest Shadow said, "It's okay, come on, let's have you meet the people." Twilight Sparkle replied, and she introduces her to everybody, "What happened to your horn?" Yakko asked, "It's broken." Tempest Shadow replied, "Oh, just like Kimahri." Yakko said, confusing her, but she continued to be introduced to everybody. Vincent was seeing Catherine and speaking to her, the ponies, Spike, and Young Six watch and see Catherine eventually run into the bathroom while crying, "Catherine! Wait!" Vincent said and he ran into the bathroom to check on her. Vincent and Catherine were in the bathroom and loud noises and beatings were heard, Orlando and Toby went over, they speak for a bit and leave Vincent be, they left shortly afterwards. The ponies, Spike, Young Six, and Autumn Blaze go to him, "You okay, Vincent?" Princess Cadence asked, "No." Vincent replied, "I don't get it, why wasn't anyone paying attention?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Now that you mention it, that is weird, these people are acting like nothing happened." Sunburst replied, "Well, not all of them." Starlight Glimmer said, and they see Steven, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Bismuth, Lapis Lazuli, Peridot, Gumball, Darwin, Anais, Richard, Nicole, Mordecai, Rigby, Benson, Pops, Skips, Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost, Frylock, Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, Orchid, Alice, Mercer, Silver, Rock, Aero, and Roger looking at Vincent with worry, "You guys go ahead and go, I want to be alone for now." Vincent said, "Take it easy, Vincent." Shining Armor replied, and they go see the others. Phoenix, Apollo, Athena, and Trucy were going over the case for the trial tomorrow, the ponies, Spike, and Young Six go to them, "Oh, hey, guys." Phoenix said, "What time is the trial tomorrow?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "10:00 AM." Phoenix replied, "Okay, guys, I want you all to come to the trial, you'll see how fun it is with him in court." Twilight Sparkle said, the Young Six were excited, "Well, I'm about to leave, guys, I have to wake up early tomorrow." Phoenix said, and he and the others did, everyone was gone except for Vincent, so they go to him, "You feel any better, buddy?" Rainbow Dash asked, "A little." Vincent replied, and he drank a little more and headed home, the others went home as well, but not before Princess Celestia looked at Boss with suspicion. Princess Luna enters the dream realm and saw most of the stars were back, she sees Bubbles was still having nightmares about Mr. Salacia, so she zapped it away, she looks and saw Vincent having a dream, she and the others saw Katherine, "So that's Katherine." Rainbow Dash said, "I can't say her outfit and hair color are fashionable, though." Rarity replied, they watch the dream, "Hello." Catherine said from behind Vincent, which scared everyone, they talk for a bit and go in the house. Everypony and Spike watches the dream and saw Vincent sitting with Katherine while Catherine made coffee, they watch Catherine try to get inside of Katherine's head, which leads to the two arguing and Vincent scream with his right hand on forehead, which shocked the ponies and Spike. Katherine and Catherine argue more and it led to a knife fight between the two, the mares and fillies scream while the adult pony covered the eyes' of the foals and babies. Katherine screams in horror and Vincent makes her stop by slapping her on her left cheek with his right hand, which made Rarity exclaim with shock, Princess Cadence had a shocked face as well, they talk for a bit and he was leading her outside, but they see the block and stair area again, shocking the ponies and Spike, "No way!" Rainbow Dash said, "His home too?" Twilight Sparkle asked, and they see Vincent's home disappear, "I won't let you get away." Catherine said in a distorted voice, "That voice... It's her..." Vincent said, "What is this, Vincent...?" Katherine asked, "W-We have to run...! Katherine, follow me!" Vincent said, and he grabs her right wrist with her left hand and runs forward. Vincent and Katherine were on a set of blocks and they look back, "Where are we going?" Catherine asked, Vincent and Katherine had a shocked face, "You won't escape!" Catherine said while laughing, she climbs up and laughs more, revealing her monstrous form, the ponies and Spike had shocked faces, "No! I'm scared!" Katherine said while covering her face with her arms, "Hurry!" Vincent said, and they begin to climb. Vincent led the way while Katherine followed him, she did not know what to do since this was her first time in the nightmare, "Wow, I thought the problems we had before our marriage was bad." Shining Armor said, "But it was you who was in danger." Princess Cadence replied, they watch and see Vincent and Katherine climb, they dodge the red lightning bolts, "You want to be free, right?" Catherine asked, and they keep climbing, "You're just his dead weight!" Catherine said after more bolts of red lightning came down, "You can only get his attention by getting pregnant?" Catherine asked, the mares were offended by the last one, the two keep climbing and make it to the end, "We made it... Katherine! We're gonna be alright! We can make it back through here!" Vincent said, "Make it back...?" Katherine asked, "Back to where we were! Let's go together!" Vincent said, Katherine walks forward but puts her head down, Catherine was heard roaring, "I'm sorry, I can't think of the future after all this...!"Katherine said, "Katherine, calm down! You've got a child to think about, too! I'll fix everything. It'll all be okay!" Vincent replied, "What, you mean you and me...? ...You still thought about us then...?" Kathrine asked, "Of course I did!" Vincent replied, "But... I can't believe you anymore..." Katherine said, "I didn't want to cheat on you! I was just confused... About our future, I guess. I snapped, I'm sorry...! I know I did something I can't undo. I won't make excuses. But I realized something... How dear you are to me... I... I understand that now!" Vincent replied, "Vincent..." Katherine said, "Please, Katherine! Come with me now! I'm begging you!" Vincent replied, "But I... can't. I can't do it anymore, Vincent... You should just go..." Katherine said, she then gasped as the place shook and Catherine was heard roaring, Katherine began to fall back, causing the mares and fillies to gasp, "Katherine!" Vincent said as he jumped towards her, he grabs her and they begin to fall down the stairs, scaring everypony and Spike, "You just gotta believe in me... Please, Katherine... I can't lose you. Not like this!" Vincent said, "Vincent, do you...?" Katherine asked, but they saw the dream disappear, realizing Vincent has woken up in the real world, "Oh, that was so romantic." Rarity said, "I sure hope he's okay, though." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, would you look at that, it's time for the sun to rise, go on, everypony." Princess Luna said, and they all woke up in the real world. The next day comes and the ponies and residents of the neighborhood were in Ponyville and the neighborhood, the Mane Six, Shining Armor, and Princess Cadence go to Vincent's apartment to see how he was, he was not home, which made them worry. Sunset Shimmer tries the City Slicking test again with Mordecai and Rigby helping her, she growls since she failed again, Pops came along to cheer her on, she tries again and fails, "What is with this traffic?!" Sunset Shimmer asked, "I'll admit, the traffic is pretty bad today." Mordecai replied, Sunset Shimmer growled every time she failed, and traffic kept getting worse. Motorcycles were heard and they see Chibs leading his gang, they fire guns in the air to make the traffic clear the way. Sunset Shimmer drives and tries the test again and drives the car, she keeps driving while Chibs and his gang cleared the traffic with gunfire, she sees traffic in the way again but they were rammed out of the way by a big truck, they look and saw Onizuka was driving it, he was laughing along the way. Sunset Shimmer was bewildered at what she saw, "Drive, Sunset Shimmer! Pass the test! You can do it!" Onizuka said, and Sunset Shimmer did, Chibs and Onizuka drove around to clear the road so Sunset Shimmer she could pass the last test of the driving school. Sunset Shimmer was going near the end and saw a police car parked in front of her, "Come on, not again." Sunset Shimmer grumbled as she drove forward, she was about to arrive at the police car, but Onizuka rams it out of the way with the truck, Sunset Shimmer was happy and she drove to the end and finished the test. Sunset Shimmer waits for her score along with Mordecai, Rigby, Pops, Chibs, and Onizuka, they look and saw she got a gold medal, "Yes!" Sunset Shimmer said as she jumped up in the air, "Whoooaaaaa!" Mordecai and Rigby said, Pops laughed a bit, "Jolly good show! Sunset Shimmer, jolly good show!" Pops said, "Congratulations, mate." Chibs said, "I knew you could do it, Sunset Shimmer, I'm proud of you." Onizuka said, "Thanks, I couldn't have done it without your guys' help, what happened to the people, though?" Sunset Shimmer asked, she looks and saw they were fine, but they complained about their vehicles being wrecked, "Well, I have to go to school now." Onizuka said, and he drove the truck to school, "Come on, gang, let's move out." Chibs said, and they drive away, "This calls for a party." Pops said, Mordecai and Rigby agreed, Pinkie Pie dashed to them with her party cannon, "Did somebody say party?" Pinkie Pie asked, Cheese Sandwich dashed forward, "I heard a party, too." Cheese Sandwich said, "Yeah, we were about celebrate Sunset Shimmer passing the driver's school with all gold medals, the first person to ever do that." Rigby replied, "I know what to do!"

Everybody parties and the people present were Mordecai, Rigby, Benson, Pops, Skips, Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost, Sunset Shimmer, Pinkie Pie, Cheese Sandwich, and to everybody's surprise, Steven, "Steven. What are you doing here?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "I heard you guys were celebrating you passing the driving school, so I'd thought I'd come and congratulate you, nobody has ever gotten gold medals on all ten tests." Steven replied, "Oh, thanks." Sunset Shimmer said, and they all party, Steven played music that everybody enjoyed. Pinkie Pie was having a lot of fun with Mordecai and Rigby, "Wow, you two know how to party." Pinkie Pie said, "We learned from Party Pete." Rigby replied, "Party Pete? I wanna meet him!" Pinkie Pie said excitedly, "Sorry, but he's out of town back in our world." Mordecai replied, "Plus, what's a party without hummus?" Rigby asked, "Hummus!" Mordecai said, "Hummus!" Rigby said, "Hummus!" Mordecai and Rigby said together, Cheese Sandwich dashed to them, "I've got dipping chips right here." Cheese Sandwich said, and they do. Muscle Man looks at the time, "It's 10:00, bros." Muscle Man said, "Okay, everyone, back to work." Benson said, "Ten, oh no, I'm gonna late for the trial." Pinkie Pie replied, and she dashed to the courtroom, leaving a pink trail behind. Everybody was in court with Phoenix standing at the left bench with Apollo and Athena, while Edgeworth was at the right bench, and the judge sat, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Trixie, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Sunburst, Tempest Shadow, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, and Silverstream sat in the gallery, above Phoenix. The Judge hits his gavel, "Court is now in session." Judge said, "The prosecution is ready, your honor." Edgeworth said, "The defense is ready, your honor." Phoenix said, Judge nods, "Oh, it's those ponies over there, I remember you all, hi there, long time, no see." Judge said, "The Judge knows them, your honor?" Athena asked, "Yeah, he and I had to do a trial in their land many years ago." Phoenix replied, "Hmm, so they are real, I remember that one with the rainbow hair in that photo." Edgeworth said, Rainbow Dash screamed with shock and covered her face in embarrassment with her wings, "What are they talking about?" Silverstream asked, "It's kind of a long story." Twilight Sparkle replied, "I see many new faces there as well, I really enjoyed your land." Judge said, "OBJECTION!!" Edgeworth said and slammed his right hand on the bench, "Your honor, I would like to get on with the trial." Edgeworth said, "Yes, of course, let's start with the murder scene." Judge replied, "A confectioner named Apu Sauce was murdered by being stabbed in the left side of his neck with a blade, a fellow confectioner named Pays Tree was found at the crime scene and arrested for the murder." Edgeworth said, the Judge nods. "Alright, it's time to call the cops assigned to the case to see what they have found at the crime scene." Judge replied, and they get the first person to testify. Harry went up to testify, "State your name and occupation." Judge said, "Harry Callahan, inspector." Harry replied, "Well, let's go on and start your testimony." Judge said, and Harry begins, "Apu Sauce was stabbed in his left carotid artery around 7:00 in the morning. We have already found the weapon, it was this dagger here." Harry said, the Judge nods, "The court accepts it as evidence." Judge said, "Apu Sauce was examined further and we have found strange activity on his wound. We are investigating it further." Harry said, "So, the victim was killed by a stab wound with a dagger." Judge said, "Yes, your honor." Harry replied, "Very well, Mr. Wright, your cross examination." Judge said, and they begin it, "Apu Sauce was stabbed in his left carotid artery around 7:00 in the morning." Harry said, "HOLD IT!!" Phoenix said, "Was there anything that gave it away?" Phoenix asked, "Pays Tree told us when we asked her, she heard the stabbing." Harry replied, "We have already found the weapon, it was this dagger here." Harry said, "HOLD IT!!" Phoenix said, "Where is the bloodstain?" Phoenix asked, "It didn't have one when it was found." Harry replied, "No bloodstain, how strange." Phoenix taught to himself, "What does the hand print on it look like?" Phoenix asked, "It's the same as the print found on Mr. Sauce's shoulder." Harry replied, "Apu Sauce was examined further and we have found strange activity on his wound. We are investigating it further." Harry said, "HOLD IT!!" Phoenix said, "What strange activity?" Phoenix asked, "The wound from the dagger has somehow drained all of Mr. Sauce's blood out of his body." Harry replied, and Phoenix finished his cross examination while the world's natives who were watching the trial had shocked faces, "I see, has the hand print been identified?" Judge asked, "There are no prints on it." Harry replied, "No prints?! How is such a thing possible?!" Judge asked, "OBJECTION!!" Phoenix said, "Your honor, I believe what Harry is saying is that it's a glove mark." Phoenix said, "A glove mark, where would one obtain a glove when working on confectioneries?" Judge asked, "Actually, your honor, gloves are common to wear when working on such things, it is so they do not burn their hands." Edgeworth replied, "I see, where are the other law enforcers assigned to the case?" Judge asked, "Mr. Morgan, Ms. Brea, and Mr. Taki will be here shortly." Edgeworth replied, the door opens and they enter along with Takeshi, Hayato, and Tachibana, Eyes Cree and Pays Tree were with them, along with a man who seamed to be wearing a suit and hat made out of melon bread, "I see, since we did multiple witness testimonies in the past, we'll try it here, so all of you, state your names and occupations." Judge said, "Pays Tree, confectioner." Pays Tree said, "Eyes Cree, ice cream maker." Eyes Cree said, "Mel Hombre, baker." the man with the melon bread-like clothing said, "Alright, let's start with your testimonies." Judge said, "I was captured by an organization called Shocker..." Eyes Cree said, and Mel Hombre immediately began to strangle him, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Apollo asked, everybody in the gallery except the ponies, Spike, and Young Six went down and changed into Shocker henchmen, shocking Phoenix, Apollo, Athena, Edgeworth, the Judge, Eyes Cree, Pays Tree, the ponies, Spike, and Young Six, "Shocker!" Tachibana said, and the henchmen begin to attack, Takeshi, Hayato, Taki, Tachibana, Harry, Dexter, Aya, and Athena fight them off, the Mane Six and Young Six joined in with Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Gallus, Smolder, and Yona doing most of the fighting, a Shocker henchmen wearing a red outfit tries to attack Rainbow Dash with a sword, she dodges them with ease and bucks him, which knocks him out. Takeshi throws a knife at Mel Hombre and he dodges it, but loses his grip on Eyes Cree in the process, "Show your true form!" Takeshi said, and Mel Hombre transformed into a humanoid flee monster, the Cutie Mark Crusaders screamed out of fear, "I am Flea Man, greatest jumper of Shocker." the transformed Mel Hombre said, "Rider henshin." Takeshi said and he posed, "Henshin." Hayato said and he posed, the two jump and change into Kamen Riders, surprising everybody, the two fight Flea Man while everybody else dealt with the henchmen, Flea Man fought the two and jumped extremely high, Takeshi and Hayato jumped around to keep up with him, "Look, it looks like transforming increases their physical abilities." Twilight Sparkle said, they watch Takeshi and Hayato fight Flea Man, he was able to endure their hits, Flea Man shoots white foam out of his mouth and the two hold a Shocker henchmen up, the foam gets on him and he explodes, scaring everybody else, Aya transformed and went on to help fight Flea Man, which surprised everyone again. Harry aims his revolver at Flea Man and shoots a bullet at him, it bounces off of his chest, Athena and Dexter go behind Flea Man and try to restrain him, but he jumps up and touched the ceiling, the unicorns and alicorns shoot zaps at him but they kept missing, he lands on Twilight Sparkle and she grunts as she fell to the ground, he then threw Athena and Dexter forward and then jumped up, he busted through the roof, Takeshi and Hayato jump through the hole to chase him. Takeshi and Hayato arrive on the roof and look around, "There he is." Hayato said, they saw Flea Man jumping from roof to roof, the two jump and chase him, they jump from roof to roof but see Flea Man jumped a lot farther than they could, "We'll never catch up at this rate." Hayato said, "True, let's look for shortcuts." Takeshi replied, and the two jump to Flea Man's blind spots in an attempt to catch up to him, the two jump and watch Flea Man, but they hear a loud noise behind them, they turn around and saw a circular rainbow in the sky, they saw Rainbow Dash flying to Flea Man, she was catching up to him quickly, Flea Man hears her and tries to jump away, Rainbow Dash flew up, "Oh, no, you don't!" Rainbow Dash said and she grabbed onto him and knocked him onto the ground, Takeshi and Hayato jumped to his location. Flea Man stood up and saw Takeshi and Hayato in front of him, the two posed and began to punch and kick Flea Man several times. Twilight Sparkle teleports herself and the others outside, "Is everyone alright?" Twilight Sparkle asked, they nodded, they hear fighting and saw Takeshi and Hayato fighting Flea Man while Rainbow Dash flew back, they see the three jump but Flea Man jumped considerably higher than Takeshi and Hayato, more Shocker henchmen appeared to attack them and Taki, Harry, Aya, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack fought them off, they were knocked out quickly, they look and saw Takeshi and Hayato on a roof with Flea Man, Flea Man jumped again, "Now, Hayato!" Takeshi said, and Hayato jumped up and grabbed Flea Man and kneed him in his abdomen with his left knee, he then threw onto the ground, the ponies, Spike, and Young Six looked away, they saw Flea Man get back up and was still able to fight, which shocked them, but he was stumbling, Takeshi and Hayato jump up and hold their right legs out, "Rider Double Kick!" Takeshi and Hayato said, and they both kick him, Flea Man falls and rolls away, he stops moving altogether and explodes. Takeshi and Hayato change back and go to them, "Is everyone alright?" Takeshi asked, they all say they were, "Who are those guys?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Shocker is a criminal organization that is trying to take over the world by changing people in cyborgs to obey them, they have agents all over our world." Taki replied, shocking them, "Criminals disguised as regular people? That's scary." Ocellus said, "Please, come with me, I'd like to know more about this Shocker." Princess Celestia said, and Takeshi, Hayato, Taki, and Tachibana follow her, "How did you know Shocker was involved?" Judge asked, "I have the answer right here, your honor." Phoenix replied, "TAKE THAT!!" Phoenix said, "This dagger is the murder weapon, this eagle emblem right here is the logo of Shocker." Phoenix said, "Ah, well, Mr. Wright, this was one strange reunion with these people." Judge said, "I apologize for what I said all of those years before, Wright, now that I see that rainbow horse is real." Edgeworth said, "No, please stop bringing up my pictures taken by Ace Swift." Rainbow Dash replied as she buried her head in humiliation, "When Phoenix and the Judge did the trial here, I was the prosecutor." Trixie said, "Hmm, so this land has court as well." Edgeworth replied, "I'm still having a hard time imagining you as a prosecutor, Trixie." Starlight Glimmer said, "Ooh, ooh, I know, let's hear the story about when Phoenix came here." Silverstream said, "Yeah, I want to hear it, too." Sandbar replied, "Maybe during class time." Twilight Sparkle said, "Say, where's Apollo?" Phoenix asked, Apollo was in court at the defense's bench while Princess Luna was at the prosecutor's bench, "OBJECTION!!" Apollo yelled, "OVERRULED!!" Princess Luna yelled, Apollo jumped back in shock, "Noooooooo, my Chords of Steel!" Apollo said, "HA-HA!! YOUR CHORDS OF STEEL ARE WORTHLESS WHEN COMPARED TO THE ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE!!" Princess Luna said, "NOOOOOOOO!!" Apollo said, "Well, I guess I'll look for him later, I'm pooped, let's rest." Phoenix said, and they all went to go rest. Princess Celestia was in her throne room with Takeshi, Hayato, Taki, and Tachibana, "What kind of things have this Shocker done?" Princess Celestia asked, "A lot, kidnapping, murder, experimentation, brainwashing, mind control, and as you saw, changing innocent people into humanoid plants and animals to serve under them." Takeshi replied, "How did you do become what you are?" Princess Celestia asked, "We were experimented on by Shocker, Takeshi was already a cyborg when he saved me from being brainwashed." Hayato replied, "What animal are you two supposed to be?" Princess Celestia asked, "Grasshoppers." Takeshi replied, "What about those black and red suit wearing people?" Princess Celestia asked, "Shocker's henchmen, they're cyborgs, too, faster, stronger, and more durable than an average human." Taki replied, "What other creatures do they have?" Princess Celestia asked, and Taki shows her pictures of their monsters, which shocked her, their names were Spider Man, Bat Man, Scorpion Man, Sarracenian, Mantis Man, Grimreaper Chameleon, Bee Woman, Cobraman, Gebacondor, Yamogeras, Tokageron, Saboteguron, Phirasaurus, Hitodanger, Kanibubbler, Dokugandar as a caterpillar, Dokugandar as a moth, Amazonia, Musasabeedle, Kinokomorgu, Antlion Thunder, Mukaderas, Mogurang, Kuragedarl, Zanburonzo, Arigabari, Dokudahlian, Armadillong, Gamagirah, Arikimedes, Egyptus, Torikabuto, Eiking, Wolf Man, Snowman, Ghoster, Fly Man, Pranodon, Kabibinga, Namekujira, Bearkonger, Todogirah, Hiruguerrilla, Isoginchak, Kamestone, Unicornos, Gilgalass, Zanjioh, Jaguarman, Sea Snake Man, Cockroachman, Gireera, Dokumondo, Poison Lizard Man, Earthworm Man, Owl Man, Namazugiller, Harinezuras, Saigang, Semiminga, Kabutorong, Kamikirikid, Girizames, Gillerkorogi, Elekibotaru, Abugomens, Mosquiras, Shiomaneking, Shiracuras, Bararanga, Seadragon I, Seadragon II, Seadragon III, Imoriges, Unidogma, Colonel Zol/Werewolf, Doctor Shinigami/Ikadevil, and Ambassador Hell/Garagaranda, and a picture of a black silhouette that had the words Great Leader of Shocker on it. Princess Celestia was in utter shock, "Oh my, they're all either plants or animals." Princess Celestia said, "Exactly, they're stronger than the regular henchmen, too." Hayato replied, "What about those last four pictures?" Princess Celestia asked, "The first three were the three second-in-commands of Shocker." Tachibana replied, "And the leader?" Princess Celestia asked, "They all serve under him, no one knows who he is, or where he's hiding." Takeshi replied, "I see, now that I see what you four are up against, I may have an item that could help you four in your battles, wait here a moment." Princess Celestia said, and she walked away to get it for them. Sunset Shimmer trotted around and was happy with her day so far, she goes to go see Volvox to see how he was doing, she knocked on his house's door, "Enter." Volvox said, and she did, "Starlight Glimmer told me about the games you had, I wanted to try them." Sunset Shimmer said, "Sure, take your pick." Volvox said, and she trotted to them, she decided to play a video game, "Do you have any computer games?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Well, not bought, but there are games I do play on Newgrounds, Kongregate, and Armor Games." Volvox replied, "I wanna try one." Sunset Shimmer said, and they go to Newgrounds, "Here's a good one." Dommiel said, they saw the game was Dad 'n' Me, "That one there is also a classic." the Count of Saint Germain said, Sunset Shimmer saw the game was Pico's School, "What's the hardest game you have?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "That's a tough one, several of our games are hard." Volvox replied, "Well, bring out your hardest ones." Sunset Shimmer said, and Volvox did, he brought out Punch-Out!!, Contra: Shattered Soldier, Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey, Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, 3, and 4, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3, Bloodbourne, and God Hand, "The two Devil May Cry games are really hard on the hardest difficulty." Dommiel said, "What about the second one?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "No, the second one's easy." Dommiel replied, "What's so hard about that San Andreas one?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Two words: Supply Lines." Dommiel replied, "God, I hated that mission." Volvox said, "I'll like to try that Devil May Cry one." Sunset Shimmer said, and they hook up the PS2 for her and Sunset Shimmer plays it, "Wow, this is actually pretty fun." Sunset Shimmer said, she gets to Phantom and starts having trouble, Sunset Shimmer exhaled sharply and tried again, she eventually beat him, "Hey, do you guys have any social media?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "We've got plenty, but we don't use it in this house." the Count of Saint Germain replied, "What social media websites do you guys have?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Myspace, Snapchat, DeviantArt, and Google+." Volvox replied, "Nope, we don't have those in the world I'm staying at." Sunset Shimmer said, the PS2 pops open and Yakko, Wakko, and Dot came out, "What's your high school like?" Dot asked, "The usual, but with magic, and we did a battle of the bands there once." Sunset Shimmer replied, "You guys sing at your school?" Wakko asked, "Yup, plenty." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Just like High School Musical." Yakko said, confusing Sunset Shimmer, "Can we watch you play?" Wakko asked, "Of course, go ahead and have a seat." Sunset Shimmer replied, and they do, "How do you press the buttons if you don't have any fingers or thumbs?" Yakko asked, "I'm using my unicorn horn, I have magic." Sunset Shimmer replied, "Oh, that's cool." Yakko said, and they continue watching. Steven was walking around and saw many people having fun with their mothers, which made Steven sad, he watches them and saw people bonding with their mothers, talking about their mothers, talking with their mothers, Twilight Sparkle and Twilight Velvet were among them, hearing and seeing their mothers made him sad, he almost began to cry since he did not have a mother, he became distraught and walked away, Twilight Sparkle sees him and becomes worried. Twilight Sparkle walks and saw Steven standing on a sidewalk and looking down, "Steven?" Twilight Sparkle asked, she goes to him and saw he looked down, "What's the matter, Steven?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "It's them talking about their moms, I don't have a mom." Steven replied, "Well, what do you remember about her?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Nothing, she passed away as soon as I was born." Steven replied, Twilight Sparkle was sympathetic, "Is that why you're sad?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Not all of it, it's also because since my mom was the leader of a rebellion, people look up to her, and I am expected to be just like her and take her responsibilities and the leader, I don't know what they are, and I don't feel ready." Steven replied, "Steven, I know how you feel, I didn't feel like I was ready to be a princess when I became one." Twilight Sparkle said, Steven looked at her, "How does that even compare?" Steven asked, "I was expected to lead Equestria along with three other alicorns, and I didn't feel like I could do it when I started, but with support from my friends and mentors, I was able to do it." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Well, I'm not expected to lead a nation, I'm expected to lead a group of Gems in a war." Steven said, "Oh, well, I'm sure you'll make a good leader, Steven, you're already befriending and forgiving, aren't you?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yeah." Steven replied, "See, you're already becoming a good leader, if you continue, people will love you and respect you for you are, and if that happens, I'd like to see how you will grow." Twilight Sparkle said, Steven smiled, "Come on, tell me about your mother, well, from what you heard, and have some fun." Twilight Sparkle said, and she and Steven walk together. Rarity gives out new outfits as she tried to get rid of the sagging fashion, she hated it so much, Sarah and Jazmine entered shortly afterwards, "Welcome, darlings, please, take a look." Rarity said, and the two do, "Look at that one, mommy." Jazmine said, "Yes, dear, it is lovely." Sarah replied, "SARAH!!" Tom said and he entered the shop, "Tom, what are you doing here?" Sarah asked, "I want you back, please come back to me." Tom replied, "Tom? What are you talking about?" Sarah asked, "You're dating Usher, and I want you back." Tom replied, "I'm not dating him, Tom, Jazmine is just a big fan of him as I am." Sarah said, Tom was surprised, "You're... not dating him?" Tom asked, "No." Sarah replied, Tom was surprised, "So... can I come back in the house?" Tom asked, "No! Not until you grow a spine." Sarah replied, a chord was struck in Tom, he raises his right arm and was about to slap Sarah on her cheek, but telekinesis was used on Tom and moved his arm back, he screamed in pain, "You're not hitting a lady in my shop." Rarity said, "Ow! That hurt." Tom said, "Tom, are you okay?" Sarah asked as she got on her knees, Tom became possessed by Stinkmeaner at that time, he looks at her, "Oh yeah, I've never been better in my life!" Stinkmeaner said, he stood up and picked up Tom, which made Sarah laugh, "I'm ready to boost our relations." Stinkmeaner said, Sarah laughed, "Tom, what's gotten into you?" Sarah asked, "Same thing that's about to get into you." Stinkmeaner replied, and he carried her home while Rarity watch with worry and shock, Jazmine just stood there with confusion, "I'll head home for now." Jazmine said, and she left.

Night time comes and the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, princesses, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Tempest Shadow, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Trixie, and Autumn Blaze went to the Stray Sheep, everybody was there, Vincent was freaking out while everybody watched, "You guys are saying you didn't see her?!" Vincent asked, "Nope, you were just sitting here on your own." Jonny replied, "Seriously? None of you guys saw or heard me talking to Catherine?!" Vincent asked, "Give it up already, Vincent, we already told you, we didn't see or hear anybody here with you yesterday, you were just there on your own." Orlando replied, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Tempest Shadow, Trixie, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, Silverstream, Autumn Blaze, Steven, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Bismuth, Lapis Lazuli, Peridot, Grim, Gumball, Darwin, Anais, Richard, Nicole, Mordecai, Rigby, Benson, Pops, Skips, Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost, Frylock, Volvox, Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, Orchid, Alice, Mercer, Silver, Rock, Aero, and Roger and look at them with shock, "Wait, none of you guys saw her?!" Muscle Man asked, "No, we just said, we didn't see or hear a Catherine, we just saw Vincent sitting here on his own, talking to himself." Toby replied, "What?! We saw her!" Pearl said, "Yeah, she was sitting right across from him!" Steven said, "I'm sorry, Steven, but I didn't see or hear anyone with Vincent." Greg said, "All of us saw her and heard her, she was sitting right there!" Amethyst said, "See, those guys confess that they have saw her." Vincent said, "Well, not all of them, plus, we didn't see or hear a Catherine." Jonny replied, "Didn't she sent picture on your phone, man?" Orlando asked, "Yeah, but all of her pictures and texts she sent me are gone, they deleted themselves." Vincent replied, shocking Steven, Amethyst, Pearl, Nick, Lance, Mordecai, Rigby, Benson, and Sunset Shimmer, "Wait, all of them are gone?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Yes." Vincent replied, "What is going on?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Did you see a Catherine, Professor?" Blossom asked, "I'm sorry, girls, but I did not." Professor Utonium replied, "What about you two?" Blossom asked, "I saw her." Bubbles replied, "So did I, I heard her, too." Buttercup said, "I didn't see any Catherine." Nigel said, "Me neither." Hoagie said, "Nuh-uh." Kuki said, "I didn't see anyone, either." Wally said, "Nope." Abby said, "Did you see Catherine, Mandy?" Billy asked, "I must admit, I did not." Mandy replied, "Hmm, it seems only the humans can't see or hear her, this Catherine must be a supernatural being, and speaking of supernatural beings, I'm getting a strange feeling from that bartender." Grim said, everybody's attention was caught and they look at Boss, "Well, I'm gonna head home, it's late." Jonny said, everybody saw the time and saw it was late, so they left, only Vincent, Erica, Grim, the ponies, Spike, Autumn Blaze, and Young Six remain in the bar, "Wait, she talked to someone the first time she came." Vincent said, and he remembers, "Wait a minute, she spoke to that bartender, he has the answers." Vincent said, and he goes to Boss. Vincent got aggressive with Boss while the ponies, Spike, Autumn Blaze, and Young Six stood behind him and watched with shock, they argue and Erica had to break them up, but Boss confirmed he did speak with her, "I didn't think you'd figure me out, watching you run like the wind in those nightmares was quite the show." Boss said, "Wait, what?" Vincent asked, the others attentions were caught as well, "Did you just say you're behind the nightmares?" Vincent asked, "I have no idea what you're talking about." Boss replied, "You just said you watched me run in my nightmares." Vincent said, "The usual, right? Rum and cola, was it?" Boss asked, "Don't mess with me, you just said you watched me run like the wind." Vincent replied, "I didn't say that." Boss said, Princess Celestia glared at him, the two bickered and Vincent then grabbed him and got aggressive, "And what is with these sunglasses, you are frickin' indoors!" Vincent said, and he took them off, he looks and sees Boss' eyes, they were completely red, his right pupil was shaped like a mars symbol while his left pupil was shaped like a venus symbol, "Whoa!" Vincent said as he jumped back, everybody sees Boss' eyes and Erica, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Autumn Blaze, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Ocellus, and Yona screamed with fear at seeing his eyes, "Who are you?" Princess Celestia asked, "Well, if you must ask, I am Thomas Mutton." Boss replied, "Wait, Thomas Mutton, you're Dumuzid." Grim said, "You know him?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yes, god of sheep, consort of the goddess of love, Ishtar, he interacts with the mortals every once in a while, first time was seven hundred years ago, second time was three hundred years ago, this is the third time." Grim replied, "What about Catherine?" Vincent asked, "She is not of this realm, she is a succubus, cannot be seen or heard by regular mortals." Thomas Mutton replied, Vincent slammed his fists on the bar counter, "Because of you, Katherine and I are through!" Vincent said, the ponies had very shocked faces, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence were then furious, "Well, that is unfortunate, but my job is to weed out the men who won't marry and won't father children, it is unfortunate, but required, it's best described as a necessary evil." Thomas Mutton replied, "No." Princess Celestia said, she walked forward, "Whether someone wants love or have children is their choice, you have no right to choose." Princess Celestia said, "Let's settle this." Vincent said, "Tonight." Thomas Mutton replied, "Fine, but if I win, no more nightmares for everybody." Vincent said, "Deal." Thomas Mutton replied, and Vincent went to go sit, Erica and the others look back and saw Thomas Mutton was gone. The world's natives who were visiting the Stray Sheep go to Vincent, who was drinking, "Are you going home, Vincent?" Princess Cadence asked, "Yeah, after this drink." Vincent replied, and he drank slowly while the world's natives who were present comforted him, "Can't you do anything?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I'm sorry, but my powers do not work in the dream realm." Grim replied, Vincent finished his drink after a few minutes, he left his money on the table and went to the door, "Hey, are you leaving?" Erica asked, "Yeah, I shouldn't keep him waiting." Vincent replied, and everybody went outside with him, "Good luck, Vincent." Twilight Sparkle said, "Thanks." Vincent replied, "We're counting on you, we're praying for you to win." Princess Cadence said, "I'll be fine, no more nightmares after tonight." Vincent replied, "Okay, be careful." Shining Armor said, and they all went home. Princess Luna enters the dream realm and the other ponies and Spike come together in the dream realm, they see Vincent's dream was just starting and he entered the door while they watch nervously, they see him walk alone and he went into the door. Vincent enters the first area and there was a lot of gold there, Vincent and Thomas Mutton talk for a bit and Vincent begins climbing, "This place looks tough." Rainbow Dash said, "Don't give up hope, Rainbow, I just know Vincent will win." Twilight Sparkle replied, they watch him and he makes it up to the top, the ponies and Spike smile at seeing him make it and he goes up to the landing. Vincent arrives at the landing and everyone saw it, "It's beautiful." Twilight Sparkle said, "Yes, all of that white and gold is pretty nice." Rarity replied, Thomas Mutton spoke a little and Vincent entered the confession both, he, the voice, and Thomas Mutton talk a bit, the voice then reveals himself to be Astaroth, and Vincent was taken up to the second area. Vincent arrives at the second area and begins to climb, he climbs for a while and makes it to the top, the ponies and Spike smile and Vincent goes up to the next area. Vincent arrives at the next landing and Thomas Mutton speaks a bit, Vincent goes into the confessional booth and Astaroth speaks a little, rope comes down and Vincent pulls one, he goes up to the next area. Vincent arrives at the third area and climbs, "Whoa, three different paths, this looks like a tough one." Rainbow Dash said, "Yeah, all of them block puzzles startin' to hurt mah head." Applejack replied, Big Macintosh rubbed her head to make it less painful, "Thanks, Big Mac." Applejack said, Big Macintosh smiled, they watch Vincent solved the puzzles and went up to the next landing. Vincent arrives at the next area and Thomas Mutton speaks a bit, Vincent entered the confessional booth and Astaroth speaks a bit, revealing was Vincent only halfway in the process, shocking the ponies and Spike, "He's only halfway?!" Scootaloo asked, "Halfway?! HOW LONG IS THIS?!" Pinkie Pie asked, "Calm down, Pinkie." Maud Pie replied, and Vincent goes up to the fourth area after pulling a rope down. Vincent arrives at the fourth area and keeps climbing, he made it to the top after several minutes, he made it to the next landing, "Wow, to think you have this much will to survive. Very well, I, Thomas Mutton, shall be your opponent." Thomas Mutton said, and Vincent went into the confessional booth, Astaroth speaks and Vincent pulls down a rope, he goes up to the fifth area. Vincent arrives at the fifth area and they hear a loud noise, they see Thomas Mutton sitting in a throne with a big revolver in his right hand, and a gavel in his left hand, scaring the ponies and Spike, Vincent and Thomas Mutton converse a bit and Vincent begins climbing, Thomas Mutton's throne moves forward and he kicks one block with his right foot, the shock wave knocked Vincent down, he got back up and kept climbing, "We change here." Thomas Mutton said, and he hits his gavel, some of the blocks change, "What?! He can change the blocks?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "That's cheating!" Pinkie Pie said, Vincent climbs a bit more, "Head goes boom!" Thomas Mutton said, and he aims his gun, he shoots a block and destroys it, he shoots two more and stops, Vincent climbs more, "Boy, stop moving!" Thomas Mutton said, Vincent climbs while Thomas Mutton kicks the blocks, changes them, and fires his gun, but Vincent made it to the top and climbed to the last landing. Vincent climbs up and goes to the final landing, "Curse you, sheep. How could this happen? Hooooooow?! Very well... This makes it war, boy... I swear on the name of Dumuzid, the Shepherd, consort of Ishtar! Your rear is mine, punk! Prepare yourself!" Thomas Mutton said, the ponies and Spike were nervous about the next area, they can see Vincent was visibly tired, but he goes into the confessional booth and Astaroth speaks a bit and sends Vincent up to the last stage. Vincent pants and hears Thomas Mutton huffing, the two speak for a bit and Thomas Mutton changes to Dumuzid, a giant floating head, which scared Vincent and the ponies and Spike watching, Vincent tries to calm him but Dumuzid just roars, "So, this is the final battle?! I've come this far... I'm not going to die here, dammit! KATHERINE!!!!" Vincent said, and he began climbing. Vincent begins climbing while Dumuzid just floated around for now, "Dumuzid... BEAM!!" Dumuzid said, and he destroyed a large part of the tower with a red beam from his right eye, shocking the ponies and Spike, "What the? I've never seen a beam that big before." Twilight Sparkle said, "Vincent will be done for if he gets hit by that." Applejack said, they watch Vincent climb more, "Give up, boy." Dumuzid said, Vincent just climbed, "Relax. You're only going to die." Dumuzid said, Vincent climbs a bit more, "It's a fine night for a curse." Dumuzid said, and a purple cloud appeared above Vincent's head, it made the blocks change randomly, Vincent ignored it and kept climbing, "Dumuzid... BEAM!!" Dumuzid said, and shot out another beam, which just barely missed Vincent, "It's a fine night for a curse." Dumuzid said, and he changes the blocks at random again, but Vincent still climbs up, "I am the Morning Star! Hyaah!" Dumuzid said, and changed the blocks again, but Vincent keeps climbing and was near the end, "Divine Punishment... RAIN DOWN!" Dumuzid said, and meteors began to fall, greatly shocking the ponies and Spike, "M... Meteors?!" Rainbow Dash asked, "This Dumuzid has more powers than I expected." Princess Celestia said, "Come on, Vincent, you can do it." Twilight Sparkle said, "You dare resist a god?!" Dumuzid asked, Vincent keeps climbing and everybody hears the bell, "Little more." Vincent said, and he keeps climbing while dodging the meteors, he makes it to the end. Dumuzid floats and he and Vincent converse, with Vincent saying people decide who they get to love, and he opens the door, a white light obliterates Dumuzid and Vincent escapes. The ponies and Spike cheer at seeing Vincent escape, "He did it!" Sweetie Belle said, "Yes!" Rainbow Dash said, "Come on now, everypony, it's time to wake up." Princess Luna said, and they saw it was almost daytime, so they exit the dream realm. The next day comes and the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Tempest Shadow, Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and Young Six go to Vincent's home, they hear the door opened and Vincent stepped outside, "Vincent!" Twilight Sparkle said, Vincent looks and saw them running to him, they all hug him, "I knew you could do it." Twilight Sparkle said, "Congratulations, buddy." Rainbow Dash said, "Thanks, but let go now, you all are squashing me." Vincent replied, and they do, "Are you and Katherine getting back together?" Shining Armor asked, "Well, that's the plan, but that's tonight, I have to go to work now, see you guys tonight." Vincent replied, and they all went to get on with their days. Volvox was in his house's backyard with Dommiel, the Count of Saint Germain, Giovi, Tom, Huey, Riley, Robert, Uncle Ruckus, Shake, Frylock, Meatwad, Carl, Randy, Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, Butters, Bart, Peter, Lois, Chris, Stewie, Brian, Black Dynamite, Bullhorn, Cream Corn, Honey Bee, Rick, Morty, Richard, Nicole, Gumball, Darwin, Anais, Mordecai, Rigby, Benson, Pops, Skips, Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost, Chibs, Jimmy, Mike, Gus, Vito, Harry, Dexter, Ed, Edd, Eddy, Harvey, Orchid, Nick, Lance, Alice, Mercer, Silver, Rock, Aero, and Roger were sitting at tables. It was Volvox's birthday, and everybody was celebrating, "And now, the band, Dethklok." an unseen male announcer said, they see Dethklok standing across from everyone, they begin to perform the song Birthday Dethday, everybody enjoyed it, the world's natives hear it and were shocked to hear the birthday song. Pinkie Pie dashed into the backyard, "STOP THE MUSIC!!" Pinkie Pie yelled angrily, and they do, "That is not a birthday song! No! No! No! Birthdays are a time to be happy and joyous, not a time to be singing about dying!" Pinkie Pie said, "Trust me, birthdays are not that fun and happy when you get to my age." Volvox replied, "How old are you today?" Pinkie Pie asked, "I turn fifteen billion today." Volvox replied, "Fifteen billion?!" Pinkie Pie asked with surprise, Volvox nodded with his three heads, "Birthdays can still be fun at fifteen billion years old, allow me." Pinkie Pie said, and she fired her party cannon and decorated the place, there was a big cake, ice cream, snacks everywhere, drinks, games, music, balloons, and a Katamari. Pinkie Pie rolled the Katamari around and picked up objects, "Sweet, finally, jawbreakers!" Eddy said, and he eats them along with Ed and Edd, "Whee!!" Pinkie Pie said as she rolled the Katamari by trotting on it, "Thanks for the free food." Robert said, Pinkie Pie stopped, "Wait, you guys aren't here to have fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Of course not, Volvox promised us free food, that's why we came." Uncle Ruckus replied, "What about the rest of you?" Pinkie Pie asked, "I came to wish him a happy birthday." Alice replied, "I did, too." Silver said, "Just thought it'd be nice to visit." Aero said, "Nick, Lance, Harvey, and I only came along because these five wanted to go." Orchid said, "And the rest of us are basically only here for the free food." Stan said, Pinkie Pie looked at them disapprovingly, "Come on, guys, let's just celebrate my birthday." Volvox said, and they do while Pinkie Pie did not feel like having fun due to most of them only being there for free food. A white light appears in the sky and Mr. Salacia appeared, scaring the world's natives, "I have returned, Volvox." Mr. Salacia said as he floated towards them, "Girls, get ready!" Blossom said as she got ready to fight him with Bubbles and Buttercup, but Roger just flies up and slaps with the back of his right hand, Mr. Salacia screams as he flies into a house and explodes, shocking the Powerpuff Girls and the world's natives. A few hours pass and the King of All Cosmos appeared, surprising everyone, "Good news, everyone, We have finished restoring all of the stars and moon." King of All Cosmos said, Princess Luna and Roger use their powers and bring the moon up, much to Princess Luna's delight, "Oh, a Katamari, We are proud to see you all have developed an interest in Our game." the King of All Cosmos said, "Actually, that's mine." Pinkie Pie said, "Well, We wish you to have fun, go on and enjoy it, We think you will like the game." the King of All Cosmos replied, Pinkie Pie smiled, "Come now, son, it is time for Us to depart." the King of All Cosmos said, and he and the Prince flew back into the sky. Everybody just went on with their days. Night time comes with everybody relaxing during their afternoons, the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, princesses, Spike, Shining Armor, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Tempest Shadow, and Autumn Blaze enter the Stray Sheep and see Vincent conversing with Boss, they finish and Katherine arrived, they sit together and Vincent persuades her about the cheating not being real, and he was losing his mind, Katherine did not believe him until Orlando, Jonny, Toby, Boss, Steven, Grim, the ponies, Spike, and Young Six explain everything to her, she began to cry a bit but she and Vincent got back together, and Katherine left, "Do you know Astaroth, Volvox?" Vincent asked, "Yes, he used to serve under me, I'll have a talk with him later." Volvox replied, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence walk to boss and Shining Armor puts handcuffs on Boss with his magic, "What is this?" Boss asked, "You're under arrest." Shining Armor replied, "For what?" Boss asked, "For interfering with one's relationship, and nearly destroying their romance." Princess Cadence replied, "But I promised Vincent I'd host his wedding." Boss said, "When is the wedding, Vincent?" Shining Armor asked, "Might be tomorrow if Roger uses his powers." Vincent replied, "That's enough time, come with us now, Dumuzid." Princess Cadence said, and they take him away, everybody already went home, so they left as well and slept peacefully for the night. The next night comes and Boss was released from jail to host Vincent's and Katherine's wedding, the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Young Six, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Tempest Shadow, Autumn Blaze, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Grampa Gruff, Gilda, Gabby, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, Pharynx, Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, Sky Beak, Ocean Flow, Terramar, Chief Thunderhooves, and Rain Shine attended the wedding with them, since the wedding was of short notice, they did not have time to dress for the occasion, every single person who lived in the neighborhood was present as well, they all wore suits and gowns at the wedding, everybody had a good time while Steven and Greg played music, Pinkie Pie joined them, and Randy did shortly afterwards, "I just love happy endings." Lisa said, "We all do." Yakko replied, and everybody began to hitting their glasses with silverware while the world's natives were confused, they watch and see Vincent and Katherine kiss while everybody cheers, Princess Cadence uses her magic to make the two love one another more. Rick and Morty crashed in shortly afterwards, "Hey, guys, the device is *burp* complete, we can go *burp* back home." Rick said, everybody cheered and Frylock, Rick, Anais, Huey, and Roger went to it, "Thanks for helping us fix it, Sunburst." Frylock said, "You're welcome." Sunburst replied, "Well, we're about to leave, you all should get out of the neighborhood so you don't end up transferred to our world by mistake." Volvox said, and they do, "It was a pleasure meeting you guys again." Phoenix said, "It was nice to see you again, too, Phoenix." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Alright, here goes." Roger said, and he uses his powers, they went home while everybody said bye to them, and they all sleep for the rest of the night. Pinkie Pie rolled the Katamari in Ponyville and Equestria and her friends had to restrain her, while Fluttershy prayed for Rita and Runt to find a home one day, Twilight Sparkle was happy to meet Phoenix again and she talked about the first time he came to Equestria the next day at the School of Friendship, Rainbow Dash made new friends and had fun getting to meet Buttercup, Wally and Mercer, Applejack was glad to see Vincent get married, and Rarity developed an interest with cosplaying and decided to try it, while she still hated the sagging fashion, Princess Celestia saw Los Pollos Hermanos' trucks before they left and noticed some people attack them, but while she did not find out what was suspicious about Gus, she still knows he was hiding something, and hopes it will be exposed in the future. Everybody in the neighborhood went on with their lives and had crazy antics happen every now and then, while Takeshi, Hayato, Taki, and Tachibana left to go to other parts of the world to fight Shocker, with Princess Celestia giving them a magical amulet that will allow them to see through their disguises, the four left and went back to Japan to fight off Shocker.
ExtinctThe Earth was newly created by a being called The Maker and it made various creatures appear to roam it, the many creatures fought one another and some went extinct while others thrived, beings from high in the sky and deep below the ground also emerged to wage war. A small kingdom got established in the center of the Earth and it expanded slowly as its ruler brought animal herds and groups of bugs under its rule, some of the creatures fought and challenged the ruler and some went under its rule while others established their own kingdoms. Time passed and many more creatures appeared, creatures from other planets in outer space and other realms and dimensions also began coming to the Earth, they already had their own civilizations made and some became allies, some remained neutral, and some became enemies. More creatures and civilizations appeared while the one in the center of the Earth stood for centuries, it eventually became an empire where many creatures lived together and everyone could travel anywhere in the world. Everything was peaceful and harmonious and a device was built that could teleport the kingdom anywhere in existence to have diplomatic meetings, an event in space caused every creature to suddenly go extinct and the device was left unattended, one of its coordinates went off at random and the kingdom got teleported elsewhere. Equestria and the other countries were getting on with their days peacefully until a rift and white electricity appeared in the ocean to Equestria's northeast, the place appeared and everybody looked on in awe at the place, there were many different types of homes in it and a big, tall, gold, rectangular shaped castle with three pointed rooftops on it in the center of the new land. Everybody looked at it curiously and noticed something off, "I don't see anybody." Princess Ember reported, "Yeah, place looks deserted." King Thorax added, "What? How strange, everything looks clean and well kept." Princess Luna observed, "Come on, everyone, let's see if there's anyone there." Twilight Sparkle said, and she, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Spike went into her hot air balloon and flew there. The Mane Six and Spike arrived at the kingdom and did not see a single person in the parts they flew over, "Huh? Where is everybody?" Pinkie Pie asked, "That's what Ah wanna know, Pinkie Pie, them leavin' suddenly and leavin' their stuff behind like this ain't natural." Applejack responded, "Well, at least some of them left behind their fashion, I can use that as a way to determine how they lived and preserve their history." Rarity remarked, "I think the homes would be better at preserving their history." Fluttershy spoke as she saw tipis, yarangas, mounds, apartment complexes, bungalows, coffins, palaces, castles, fortresses, towers, items and art in caves, holes that led underground, and more items in trees, "Wow, a lot's been left behind." Pinkie Pie remarked, "Yeah, this is definitely not normal." Rainbow Dash replied, "Well, we're about to arrive at the big castle in the center, let's go." Twilight Sparkle said, and they landed. The Mane Six walked forward and saw the place was abandoned, they called out for people but there was no answer, they entered the castle and saw the halls were very tall and wide, they checked the rooms saw empty plaques on the walls in several rooms, "Huh, strange, something used to be on them and they're missing now." Twilight Sparkle stated, "There's labels on the bottom of them." Spike said, and they looked, "I don't recognize the language, Spike." Twilight Sparkle said, Pinkie Pie dashed to the plaques and read them, "Hmm, they seemed to have been display for creature heads, this one says 'Tyrannosaurus', this one says 'Stegosaurus', this one is 'Allosaurus', this one is 'Velociraptor', this one says 'Dunkleosteus', this one says 'Quetzalcoatlus', this one says 'Mosasaurus'..." Pinkie Pie said, "Pinkie Pie, we don't have time to go over all of it right now." Twilight Sparkle reminded, and she went back to them, "Alright, let's keep examining." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they did. They checked the other rooms and found more plaques on the walls alongside a map room for their home planet, space, and other realms and dimensions, an armory, several bedrooms and bathrooms, a dungeon, training grounds behind the castle, a shower room, a huge dining room, a room for taking care of and feeding pets, a blacksmithing room, an alchemy room, a chemistry room, a room for experimenting with magic with tomes and runes everywhere, a room for building machines, and a room for communicating with ghosts. The Mane Six and Spike went up to the top floor in the center part and arrived at a throne room, "Huh? There's no ruler." Rainbow Dash spoke, "Let's search and see if we can find something." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they did. Everybody found many different flags of various shapes, sizes, and colors alongside family crests and coats of arms, "Hey! Ah found somethin' here y'all." Applejack reported, they went to her and found a strange looking device, "What is this?" Fluttershy questioned, "Looks like some kind of recorder." Twilight Sparkle replied, she checked it with her magic and she and friends got startled when one of the buttons made a projector screen come up. The screen showed the same kingdom as now and many other smaller civilizations around it, a male Caucasian human wearing a black tall hat and had shoulder-length blond hair and a moustache, "A human?" Spike exclaimed, "Emperor Volvox, our time to be erased from existence is nigh, this is my last report to you as I, the Count of Saint Germain, is about to be gone for good. I am five years in the future from now, a being in space named Azathoth is going to awaken, when it does, all life on the planets will be erased, life in other realms and dimensions will be untouched due to it being put back asleep before it can erase them. My time is short, I'm afraid I won't be returning, as the only person in our enormous empire who can travel through time ever since Asmer's death, I bid you farewell and good luck on preserving our planet's history, tell the others I have said goodbye as well." the man said and he suddenly disappeared. The Mane Six and Spike looked on in disbelief and at the kingdom, "So everybody did disappear, they're gone-gone." Applejack remarked, "Still why did it come here?" Rainbow Dash questioned, "We'll search later, we have to report to the others what happened." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they went back to the hot air balloon and took off. Everybody watched and waited for the Mane Six and Spike to appear, they appeared in the air with the hot air balloon and Twilight Sparkle exhaled, "Attention, everyone, we have checked the place, it is an abandoned kingdom, everybody who has resided there has gone extinct." Twilight Sparkle reported in her Royal Canterlot Voice, the others gasped and exclaimed, "It's true, y'all, we found a recording, some guy who called himself the Count of Saint Germain was able to travel through time and went into the future, he sent back a recordin' and he said some bein' named Azathoth was gonna awaken and everyone would begin gettin' erased from existence, we didn't get targeted cause it was put back asleep before it could reach us, these guys tried preservin' their history as much as they could before they got erased." Applejack explained, "Oh, then maybe we can find out who they were." Princess Cadance suggested, "I agree, only other name we got besides this Count of Saint Germain is Emperor Volvox, this place was the center of a giant empire, we've found maps, too, this is only one part of it." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Let's start checking it out tomorrow, for now, let's rest, everycreature." Princess Celestia said, everybody agreed and went home, "I'm going to contact Sunset Shimmer and hope she can come tomorrow and help us." Twilight Sparkle spoke, her friends nodded and they all went home and slept. The next day came and Sunset Shimmer arrived, everybody explored the new land and looked for artifacts, everyone found books, maps, TVs, pots, rings, bracelets, clothes, weapons, armor, tools, paintings, statues, carvings, religious artifacts, and many different forms of artwork, "My, so many different styles in everything, it's like many cultures merged together into one." Rarity stated, "So, do you recognize this language, Sunset?" Twilight Sparkle asked while she showed her the plaques, "No, can't say that I do, let's check the others, I'm seeing English, Spanish, and Chinese languages as well, maybe we can figure out something." Sunset Shimmer stated, and she looked, she pointed out the languages Japanese, Korean, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, German, and Portuguese, "Could this be it?" Sunset Shimmer asked as she showed her a language called Pascuan, "That doesn't look like it." Twilight Sparkle responded, and they checked more, "Uh-huh! I found it, the language on the plaques is called... Enochian?" Sunset Shimmer said, "You know it?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "No, I've never heard of it." Sunset Shimmer responded, "It looks like this language had some kind of power to it, all of the magic tomes and spells here are written in it." Princess Celestia stated while she examined them, "Hey! Look at this picture here." Silverstream said, and everybody did. They looked and gasped in awe when they saw many creatures in it, they saw Volvox an extremely big quadrupedal creature with three heads, the back of his heads shaped like semicircles and the front were shaped like two back-to-back right triangles, he did not have any ears or noses, his four eyes were slanted and monochromatic and did not have any pupils or irises and were on the sides of his head. The right half of his body and right head were gray and skeletal with black holes in place of his eyes and white teeth, the five claws on his right front foot and right hind foot were also made of gray bones. The left half of his body and his left head were pitch black like a shadow, the head's eyes and teeth and five claws on his left front foot and left hind foot were red. His center head, spine, and tail were pink and made out of a parasitic-like skin, his spine had yellow seven pointed star-like organic matters growing on him and each tip was sharp, the tip of his tail was yellow and shaped like a spear's tip with sharp tips on the back corners, and the center head's eyes and teeth, the seven-pointed organic stars, and his tail's tip were yellow. Everybody kept looking and saw a person to his right called Dommiel, he was wearing a dark blue suit of armor with three red-orange organic spikes on his pauldrons, a white spike on the back of each couter, white spikes on the back of his bracers and gauntlets, a white spike on the top of each sabaton and the end of his sabatons were pointed and sharp, his cuirass did not have any decorations on it, and his leg armor were one piece that covered his entire shins and calves, knee pads, another piece covering his entire thighs, and a piece of armor that covered his groin and butt areas, his helmet covered his entire head and left only his glowing red eyes exposed, he had three white horns on his helmet with two curved horns on the sides and one straight horn on his forehead. There was a human named Tom standing to Volvox's left and he was a very old bald man with dark tan skin and had a full white beard, he only wore beige tattered pants and was barefoot, his eyes were glowing gold, "They must've been the empire's rulers." King Thorax deduced, "I guess, there's two more people there with them." Twilight Sparkle spoke, they saw the next person was muscular, had light blue skin, white monochromatic eyes, a strong jawline, shoulder-length straight black hair, and was shirtless and barefoot and only wore torn black pants, he had bandages around his hands with five knife blades on each hand, and his name was Giovi, "I wonder what he is." Sandbar remarked, "So, who is that last guy there?" Starlight Glimmer questioned as she pointed to the man wearing a black tall hat, red coat, white pants, black vest, and white shoes, "Oh, that's that Count of Saint Germain guy we saw in the recording yesterday." Rainbow Dash revealed, "I must say, he is dressed quite fabulously." Rarity complimented, "Ah'm guessin' all of these named folks were the rulers or somethin' with Volvox bein' the top ruler." Applejack deduced, "That's my guess, too, let's see what their names are." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they did. Everybody looked at the big beings in the skies and saw the names Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Selaphiel, Jegudiel, Barachiel, Azrael, Abaddon, Lucifer, Leviathan, Mammon, Beelzebub, Belphegor, Asmodeus, Satan, Zeus, Poseidon, Amphitrite, Hades, Persephone, Artemis, Typhon, Osiris, Amun, Ra, Khonshu, Anubis, Apep, Set, Odin, Thor, Vishnu, Bishamonten, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Fujin, Raijin, Huitzilopochtli, Pazuzu, Dumuzid, Ishtar, Sun Wukong, Azathoth, Cxaxukluth, Daoloth, Ghroth, Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, Tulzscha, Yibb-Tstll, Yog-Sothoth, and four skeletal figures in black cloaks riding on horses, the one holding a bow and riding a white horse and wearing a crown was White Rider, the one holding a sword and riding a red horse was Red Rider, the one holding scales and riding a black horse was Black Rider, and the one holding a scythe and riding a pale horse was Pale Rider, "That Azathoth guy and those eight around it with unpronounceable names are scary looking."

Ocellus stated, "You said it, there seems to be more rulers on here but not as scary lookin'." Applejack remarked, and they looked at them. They saw a human named King Allant XII of Boleteria, another human called Prince Edmund Blackadder, another human called Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak, human representatives Darwin and Marie, mutant representatives Ivan and Lizmarie, robot representatives T-1850 and Model X, devilgor representatives Zerbebuth and Zancrus, humanoid lion-like creatures that represented animals named Cecil and Zira, bug representatives Scarab and Sacer, microscopic creatures representatives Flagellum and Cilia, elf village elder Lazlo, fairy king Oberon, fairy queen Titania, fairy counselor Melvin, orc regent Urub, dwarf king Flamma, vampire count Dracula, werewolf chief Jason, troll king Karstaag, ghoul chief Isbar, Fomorian king Balor, and oni king Shuten-dōji, "Wow, that's a lot of different creatures."

They looked and saw Volvox had a twin sister named Euglena, a female angel named Asmer and a human named Tiffany served alongside her, all three of them died in battle, "Alright, that looks like all of the rulers." King Thorax spoke, "Nope, there's one on this one here." Pharynx responded, they looked at the picture and saw a humongous being called the King of All Cosmos on it, he was painted as even bigger than Volvox, "Wow, that might be the biggest being we've ever seen if he ever came to our world." Trixie remarked, "Indeed, I don't think our world would be big enough for me to visit." Rarity said, "Here's a picture Grubber and I found, it's a painting of several named individuals who are said to have accomplished great things." Tempest Shadow stated, and everybody went. They looked at the picture and saw the people on there, first one that caught their attentions were a man and two boys who were robotic upper-right parts of their faces and made out of silver metal, red slanted right eyes, dark red left cheeks, the man's and older boy's human left eyes were blue while the younger boy's human left eye was brown, their right foots were dark red with dark orange undersides and five black claws for toenails, their left foots were robotic and silver, their right hands were robotic, their left hands were alien with the dark red and dark orange skin and had black claws in place of fingers and thumbs, they had dark red bat-like wings with dark orange membranes coming out of their backs with silver robotic parts on them, gills on the sides of their necks, and their abdomens were silver and metallic in some places, dark red with alien skin in other places of their abdomen, and the rest of their bodies were human, the man's name was Harvey, the older boy's name was Nick, and younger boy's name was Lance, "Wow, I wonder what happened to them."

Ocellus deduced, "I see it, too, though judging by the young boy's eye color, he might be adopted." Starlight Glimmer added, "I must say though, those two would make for some interesting parents." Shining Armor remarked, the others chuckled, "Come on, let's see who the rest are." Twilight Sparkle said, and everybody looked. They looked at the next people and the first person who caught their attention was a man with three different names, it read as Joe/Manco/Blondie, the next names were Josey Wales, Shane, Ash Williams, Ellen Ripley, Bishop, Dwayne Hicks, Rebecca "Newt" Jorden, Alan "Dutch" Schaefer, R.J.

Apple Bloom said, "It sure is, Apple Bloom, this must've been one powerful empire." Applejack replied, "Hey, look here, it says at the bottom that they have been recognized for their efforts in keeping the empire safe by either fighting in wars or acting as law enforcement, some of them seemed to have stopped some invasions single-handedly, too." Autumn Blaze stated, "There's another picture of renowned and recognizable people here, too." Grampa Gruff stated, and they went.

Sandbar spoke, everybody looked at it and saw even more people in it, their names were Mr. Bean, Yakko Warner, Wakko Warner, Dot Warner, Bobby, Pesto, Squit, Buttons, Mindy, Rita, Runt, Slappy Squirrel, Skippy Squirrel, and a band called Dethklok which consisted of Nathan Explosion, Skwisgaar Skwigelf, William Murderface, Pickles the Drummer, and Toki Wartooth, "What in tarnation are Yakko, Wakko, and Dot supposed to be?" Applejack questioned, "I have no clue, but it says here they and the others in the picture are renowned for being entertainers and uplifting the spirits of those who were upset." Twilight Sparkle responded as she read the bottom text, "Is that all of the pictures?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Nope, there's another one over here." Smolder responded, and they went to it. They looked and saw fourteen human men in the picture, their names were King Arthur, Sir Lancelot, Sir Gawain, Prince Geraint, Sir Percival, Sir Bors the Younger, Sir Lamorak, Sir Kay, Sir Gareth, Sir Bedivere, Sir Gaheris, Sir Galahad, Sir Tristan, and Sir Palamedes, "Knights of the Round Table, most heroic humans in our empire's history who protected and defended the weak from threats." Twilight Sparkle read, she also noticed a wizard named Merlin in the picture's background, "*gasp* Twilight! Twilight! Look! Over here!" Pinkie Pie hollered, Twilight Sparkle trotted to her and Pinkie Pie pointed at a person, she gasped when she saw a picture of Phoenix Wright, "It is him, so he was a native of this empire." Twilight Sparkle remarked, she also saw Apollo Justice, Trucy Wright, Athena Cykes, and Jimmy McGill, "Let's see here, oh, best lawyers in the empire, aw, Phoenix really was renowned back at home." Twilight Sparkle chirped while smiling, "Okay, that seems to be everybody." Dragon Lord Torch said as he looked around, "Still, wow, that's a lot of famous people." Sunset Shimmer commented, "Come, let us see if we can find more art of these people." Princess Luna spoke, everybody agreed and they went elsewhere. Everybody traveled together and found many pedestals in one area but there was nothing on them, "Huh? Where is everything?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Pinkie, can you read the Enochian language at the bottom?" Twilight Sparkle requested, and she dashed over. She read the plaques while no one knew what they were, "Spinosaurus, Argentinosaurus, Shantungosaurus, Eotriceratops, Pachycephalosaurus, Stegosaurus, Velociraptor, Tyrannosaurus, Giganotosaurus, Allosaurus, Triceratops, Chilesaurus." Pinkie Pie said, everybody became confused while she went to the next group, "Mosasaurus, Kronosaurus, Elasmosaurus, Shonisaurus, Nothosaurus, Liopleurodon." Pinkie Pie read, she dashed to the next group, "Arambourgiania, Sordes, Pterodactyl, Microraptor."

Pinkie Pie read and then went to the next ones, "Dunkleosteus, Deinosuchus, Sarcosuchus, Archelon, Cameroceras, Megalodon, Tiktaalik, Atopodentatus, Eurypterus." Pinkie Pie said and then went to the last group, "Argentavis, Quetzalcoatlus." Pinkie Pie read, "I wonder what these were." Scootaloo commented while the others agreed, "Well, come on, let's see what else we can find." King Thorax remarked, and everybody went elsewhere. Everybody walked around and saw more images and noticed some of the beings from before, they had other beings serving under them and each one was named, the creatures serving under Zeus, Poseidon, Amphitrite, Hades, Persephone, Artemis, and Typhon were a bird made of red fire named Phoenix, fairies, giants, were-beasts, cyclopes, Cerberus, Orthrus, the Hydra, the Chimera, the Minotaur, harpies, a Sphinx, Scylla, Charybdis, the Nemean Lion, the Erymanthian Boar, Stymphalian Birds, Catoblepas, centaurs, satyrs, a live statue named Talos, giants underwater called Laestrygonians, three Gorgons named Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa, sirens, nymphs that were divided into oreads, naiads, nereids, oceanids, alseids, auloniads, leimakids, napaeas, anthousais, dryads, hamadryads, hyleorois, and a unique nymph named Nephele, the Griffon, the Hippogriff, the Colchian Dragon, Ladon, and the Caucasian Eagle, "So those big beings in the first picture had people servin' under them, too." Applejack commented, "Let's see the next one." Sweetie Belle responded, and they did. They saw Odin and he was riding on a horse named Sleipnir and the people with him were Thor, the Kraken, elves, the Valkyries, trolls, and draugr, "Alright, let's see who's next." Pharynx and said, and they saw Osiris, Amun, Ra, Khonshu, Anubis, Apep, and Set, the creatures under them were mummies, "Oh, that's too bad, there's only one type here." Smolder commented, the next one had Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Bishamonten, Raijin, and Fujin, the creatures under them were tengus, the Gashadokuro, kitsunes, tanukis, yuki-onnas, Shuten-dōji and his onis, umi-bōzus, the Azukiarai, the Bake-kujira, bakenekos, Enenra, kappas, the Ushi-oni, Hibagon, the Hone-onna, Ikuchi, Isonade, Issie, Ittan-momen, the Jorōgumo, kamaitachis, nekomatas, Wanyūdō, kechibis, Keukegen, Mizuchi, mujinas, mu-onnas, namahages, ningyos, the Nue, nure-onnas, ōkubis, the Ōmukade, onibis, the Onihitokuchi, onikumas, the Raijū, Rōjinbi, the Satori, tenkas, tsuchigumos, the Tsurube-otoshi, yadōkais, the Tsuchinoko, ningens, and Yamata-no-Orochi, "Wow, that's a lot of creatures." Sunset Shimmer stated, and they looked at the next group, it had Pazuzu, Ishtar, and Dumuzid and had incubi and succubi serving under them, "That seems to be all of them, let's see what the others are." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and they looked. Everybody saw a being with Sun Wukong and it was called a pixiu while its name was Tiān lù, the next creatures were creatures that would serve under any god, they were skeletons, dragons, ghosts, and beings made of metal and wires called robots, "Looks, they did have dragons." Spike chirped, "They don't look like our kind, though." Princess Ember remarked, "Alright, and now lastly, the independent creatures who served no one." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they saw the Basilisk, the Cockatrice, the Lambton Worm, the Nuckelavee, the Hound of Baskervilles, the Boogeyman, ogres, the Kelpie, the Fomorians, Owlman, Spring-heeled Jack, the Headless Horseman, Dullahan, the Sluagh, will-o'-the-wisps, goblins, the Tarasque, the Lou Carcolh, golems, Behemoth, Ziz, vampires, zombies, the Aswang, the Manananggal, the Bakunawa, ekeks, wakwaks, the Penanggalan, ghouls, the Azhi Dahaka, the Manticore, the Roc, dwarfs, alps, the Mongolian Death Worm, mermen, mermaids, swan maidens, the Thetis Lake Monster, the Yeti, the Bunyip, yowies, a bird made of blue lightning named Thunderbird, wendigoes, jackalopes, skinwalkers, pukwudgies, the Piasa, mngwas, nandi bears, the Kongamato, the Popobawa, the Grootslang, orcs, Bigfoot, skunk apes, the Jersey Devil, the Dover Demon, the Flatwoods Monster, Mothman, Goatman, the Chupacabra, the Loch Ness Monster, the Morgawr, and creatures called mutants who have changed due to either chemicals or radioactivity, and beings who part organic and part machine called cyborgs, "Wow, I'm surprised, I did not think there would have been this many different types of creatures in it." Twilight Sparkle said, "There's still a few pictures here." Princess Skystar reported, everybody saw a picture of Santa Claus cheering up kids, another picture of a man named Jesus tending to the wounded and they were led by four elderly men, a deaf man named John, a blind man named Peter, a mute man named Christopher, and a man in a wheelchair named Vincent, Jesus was smiling and healing them and others with his powers, the last picture they found was a creature called Baku that ate nightmares so people could sleep and dream in peace, "Okay, that seems to be everybody." Rainbow Dash remarked, "Let's check the books for anything." Daring Do suggested, everybody agreed and opened them. Everybody opened the books and one of the first ones that caught their minds was a book on the empire's enemies, they saw the human enemies were first and the main ones were Cyborea and Judas Iscariot, a human rebel named Ezekiel, a man named Narcissus, an insane doctor named Dr. Challus, and a crazy looking man named Ruvik, there were also groups of demons that the people fought in the past, other enemy types included creatures from other planets that were labeled Xenomorphs, Necromorphs, Yautja, Harvesters, Xen, Strogg, Combine, Furon, Blisk, Saiyan, Namekian, Mooninite, Plutonian, Kryptonian, Symbiote, the Flood, and Gem, a being called The Thing, two individual extraterrestrials named Brainiac and Darkseid, a group of creatures called gremlins, an unknown extraterrestrial species that unleash bugs that produce colorless, odorless poisonous fumes that kill everything, and an alien under the planet's ground named Lavos, they also fought machines called Terminators that were led by a computer called Skynet that also had vehicles under its command, another enemy to the empire was a robot named Grid, and its supernatural threats consisted of demons, cenobites, deadites, apostles, four distinct apostles were Nosferatu Zodd, Wyald, Grunbeld, and Ganishka, malefactors, daedra, two dragons named King Ghidorah and Alduin, eight humans with demonic powers and the group's leader's name was Genma Himuro, three genetically created monsters that were called Mr. X, G/Birkin, and Nemesis, a ghost of a human man named Candyman who had a hook in place of his right hand and controlled bees, a demonic human named Mr. Salacia, and a big worldwide criminal organization of mutant cyborgs called Shocker where each commander had supernatural powers, "My, what a variety of dangers." Rarity stated, "That's not all, Rarity, look at the gremlins." Twilight Sparkle spoke, and she saw the gremlins had twelve commanders and each one had a different power and ability, their names were Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces, Volvox had a group of twelve animals fight them and their names were Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig, the animals fought the gremlin commanders and wiped out one another while Tiān lù was fighting the Gremlin King, "What's next?" Queen Novo asked, "We got some blueprints here." Rain Shine spoke, and everyone saw them, they were labeled 'Metal Gear REX', 'Metal Gear RAY', and 'Shagohod', "I wonder what these were." Spike stated, "Who knows, yak have no clue." Prince Rutherford remarked, "That appears to be all of the famous and well known members in this empire's history." Somnambula commented, "I agree with the lass, I do not see anymore pictures or books of famous people." Rockhoof added, "I think so, too, let's see if we can piece together this place's history." Flash Magnus spoke, and everybody did. Everybody worked together to piece together all of the historical documents and pieces of art to determine the empire's history and how it came to be, "Alright, I think we have it all pieced together. There was a being called the Maker that created the universe this empire is from, the gods were created first, Ishtar, Pazuzu, and Dumuzid were the first gods created, Osiris, Amun, Ra, Khonshu, Anubis, Apep, and Set were the next set to be created, Sun Wukong and Tiān lù were next, next were Zeus, Poseidon, Amphitrite, Hades, Persephone, Artemis, and Typhon, Vishnu and Bishamonten were the next ones, Leviathan, Behemoth, and Ziz came next, next group of gods were Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Fujin, and Raijin, after them were Odin and Thor, and the last one was Huitzilopochtli. The angels and demons were created next, the angels are divided into nine types: Angel, Archangel, Principality, Power, Virtue, Dominion, Throne, Cherubim, and Seraphim, the angels that watched the planet are seven archangels named Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Selaphiel, Jegudiel, and Barachiel, they are messengers to the other higher ranked angels while they watch the planet evolve. Azrael and Abaddon were of the Cherubim order but did not follow their realm's rules, so they were cast out to the demon realm and changed to fallen angels. The demon rulers that were created were Lucifer, Mammon, Beelzebub, Belphegor, Asmodeus, and Satan, Leviathan was also added and he did double duty, the seventy two named demons we saw earlier are also authority figures but don't have as much authority as those seven." Twilight Sparkle deduced, "That's quite a lot to process already." Mistmane commented, "I agree, my mind isn't what it used to be." Mage Meadowbrook added, "What's next?" Star Swirl the Bearded asked, "The first beings created on the planet was that Volvox guy and his sister Euglena, next were the dragons, and then all of those named creatures on the empty plaques, they're apparently extinct creatures, here are pictures of them, some of them are scary looking." Twilight Sparkle responded, and she showed everybody pictures of them, "Volvox and Euglena fought every creature and some of them went under their rule, and their kingdom was founded, they named it Synchrontopia, after getting those extinct animals under their rule, they fought the angels and demons, Volvox befriended a demon named Dommiel while Euglena befriended an angel named Asmer and became their respective second-in-commands, some of the natives considered defeat to be extremely shameful and preferred death, so the being named Grim was created, White Rider, Red Rider, Black Rider, and Pale Rider were also created but they were reserved in case the Maker decided to make the end of the world happen." Twilight Sparkle continued, "Wow, that sounds like a dangerous home." Ocellus stated, "It's just beginning. Volvox, Euglena, Dommiel, Asmer, and the animals fought the angels and demons while the gods either created new creatures with their powers or had children, the battles became bloodier when extraterrestrials called Yautja came to the planet and beings from other dimensions called Daedra arrived at Earth and joined the battle, everybody came together when the current dragon king Alduin threatened all of existence and the Maker erased him completely, Volvox's and Euglena's kingdom managed to win and expanded to include the new creatures in it, shortly afterwards, a creature from space named Lavos crash landed onto the Earth and began draining the Earth's energy, Volvox, Euglena, and the demons quickly worked together to destroy it." Twilight Sparkle read, "So they managed to subdue the gods?" Terramar exclaimed, "No, their creatures only lived in his kingdom peacefully while the gods did what they pleased." Twilight Sparkle corrected, "Oh." Terramar said, "Eventually, after all of those creatures in the pictures were created, the Maker made the last species: the humans, while they lacked the raw strength and powers of the other creatures, they made up for it in intelligence and skills, the humans respected, worshiped, preyed, and bowed to the other creatures and they were granted magical powers in return, they eventually developed very advanced technology the Earth has never seen before alongside powers to control the souls of the dead. One human named Ulfric Stormcloak managed to befriend the dragons and they taught him an ability called the Thu'um, shouts dragons do to use different powers, he became the ruler of his own region and gained the title Jarl. A man named Dorian eventually founded a kingdom named Boletaria, but eventually, one of its rulers, King Allant XII, made a pact with the demons and they invaded the Earth and started another world war, this war also gave Leviathan the idea to create monsters from humans called cenobites, he also brought forth another realm of monsters called apostles and humans summoned loved ones to become apostles themselves and wreaked havoc across the land. The world stayed in chaos until King Allant was put down, but Euglena, Asmer, and a human friend of the two named Tiffany were killed during the war." Twilight Sparkle read, "How much more is there?" Tempest Shadow questioned, "Not much. Shortly after Allant's defeat and the fall of Boletaria, some of the other creatures left Synchrontopia and established smaller kingdoms while staying in touch with Volvox, eventually, the humans invented ways to travel to space and other realms and dimensions, it led to many creatures discovering Synchrontopia and Volvox managed to strike a relationship with some of them and his kingdom expanded into an empire as he made deals and made the planets and realms a part of Synchrontopia. The humans then began experimenting with science and their chemicals and radioactivity led to the creation of mutants, they were shunned by others and forced to live isolated from the others." Twilight Sparkle read, "Oh, that is so mean." Fluttershy lamented, "While cruel and outrageous, it sounds like the chemicals and radioactivity were contagious." Zecora repleid, "Anyway, it states here that all of those extraterrestrials who were mentioned in the other book have invaded and tried to destroy Earth at one point or another with the Xenomorphs and Necromorphs doing the most damage, Ezekiel tried to overthrow Volvox on his own but failed miserably, Narcissus tried to establish his own kingdom while betraying Volvox and he was destroyed quickly, Prince Edmund Blackadder also tried to fight Volvox with Duke Percy and Baldrick but Blackadder was very stupid and foiled himself, there were lots of small threats and civil cases throughout the empire's history. Mr. Salacia was the most recent threat and he's been destroyed several years ago, and during the most recent outer space travel, the humans came in contact with Azathoth's other eight gods." Twilight Sparkle reported, "So no report on what Yakko, Wakko, and Dot are?" Applejack asked, "No, no explanations on the talking animals either, nor the mark on Lazlo En Kuldes' left hand other than it's called the Rune of Punishment, and Corvo having contact with some guy called The Outsider." Twilight Sparkle answered, "I'm seeing mentions of places called Silent Hill and Carnate Island." Rainbow Dash spoke, "I noticed, but there's no info on them, and only info I have on machines and the genetically engineered monsters are the humans built them and messed with nature, and as for Grid, all I can find is he was living in a robot's system and managed to find a way to manifest in reality." Twilight Sparkle stated, "What about the Count of Saint Germain?" Gallus asked, "He was able to travel through time because of an alchemy accident, he became Volvox's chief strategist and seeing into the future until he got to the day Azathoth awakened and got erased." Twilight Sparkle reported, "Wow, it's still sad to see a great empire like this suddenly collapse." Princess Cadance stated, "Can you do anything, Discord?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Sorry, but no, not even I can bring back souls if they've been destroyed." Discord responded, "Well, I guess all we can do now is look and try to see how this place came here to this world." King Thorax suggested, everybody agreed and explored. Everybody searched the place and found nothing, "Everyone! Here in the castle!" Dragon Lord Torch reported, and everybody gathered and saw a device and a big map, "Great whickering stallions! A wormhole opener! That is how they traveled, by setting coordinates, a wormhole can open at a set timer and transfer things, it looks like a person was setting the place to go elsewhere before they disappeared." Doctor Whooves explained, "So the place is stuck here forever?" Derpy asked, "No, after some time, another timer will be up and the kingdom will be returned back home." Doctor Whooves spoke, "Let's let it go back then, my friends and I learned their trade partners in other realms are still around, best we leave this place be and let it go back so others can pay respects to it." Twilight Sparkle suggested, "That's a wonderful idea, Twilight, but it really is a shame this place came empty, we could've spread friendship even farther if we did meet them." Princess Celestia replied, "Well, I mean, that Phoenix Wright guy did come here before many years ago, maybe he told the empire about us." Sunburst reminded, "I'm still sad he's gone." Twilight Sparkle lamented, "Me too, he saved me from going to jail." Rainbow Dash added, "I was hoping we could catch up." Pinkie Pie said with tears in her eyes, "We all did, Pinkie, come on, everybody, let's put everything back and leave this place be." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they did. The world's natives wrote books and made artwork of the abandoned place and waited until its wormhole device activated again and teleported it, "I hope those it had relationships with will honor it." Twilight Sparkle stated, "I'm sure they will, Twilight, it looked like a magnificent empire with much influence, I don't think it will ever be forgotten through time." Princess Celestia replied, Twilight Sparkle looked on and smiled.
