Twilight, the young six, and the main seven all sit in the library, having met up shortly after arrival. Notes are scattered messily on the table, with a few laptops sitting around with multiple tabs open on various sites. The young six are browsing on a single laptop, looking at the information Princess Twilight brought up for them while she aids the main seven in their quest to find out more about the human that appeared in their world.

"So you're saying that he's always wearing some kind of weird spandex suit, using powerful spinning top things, and even throws out marbles that turn into gigantic monsters? AND he's in human form despite being in Equestria?" Sunset asks Princess Twilight in disbelief.

Princess Twilight nods. "Yes, but his proportions are different too. His head is smaller, and his body is a little larger. Not fat, just like ours but scaled up a bit. Discord already told us that he came from another dimension by force, and our magic doesn't affect him or his things at all."

Pinkie looks at a tab on one of the laptops, pulling it up. "Wow, look at this! Apparently there's this team of superheroes called the Pony Rangers, but they change every season or so." She rotates the screen to the rest of the group, showing the Pony Rangers in question.

"Isn't that a show for like, little kids?" Rainbow asks with a slight cringe.

"Those are definitely it Pinkie! Wait... How many are there?" Princess Twilight queries.

"Um... Twenty two. And each team usually has six to seven rangers." Pinkie states, scrolling through the list of teams.

Princess Twilight looks carefully at each team. "Well... none of them look exactly like the ones he uses, but there's no doubt that he's using something similar to those."

A thin, somewhat scruffy looking male student enters the library, walking past the table towards the bookshelves. He notices what they're all looking at and walks over, books in hand.

"Hey, what's going on?" He asks, looking at the notes, sketches, and the screens like a nosy bastard.

Princess Twilight sighs. "You wouldn't get it. Nopo- body else would really."

"Yeah, so uh... Bye." Rainbow dismissively waves her hand.

"Are those Power Rangers?" The male asks.

"Um... Pony Rangers. I think you're getting them mixed up with the Power Ponies." Sunset says, a bit annoyed that this rando won't leave them alone when he clearly has no idea what's happening.

"Oh, so that's what they are here. But no, see that sketch right there?" He points to the one with a white with black suit, with the red visor on the helmet. "That's a Power Ranger. The white Dinothunder one. And that red one over there's the SPD red ranger."

Princess Twilight looks at him in amazement. "You recognize these things? I wonder... What about these?" She pulls out more sketches, one of Sol Blaze, and one of the Fangzor.

"The red top is Sol Blaze, a beyblade from the Metal Saga. And that's a Bakugan from the reboot, Aurelus Fangzor. Why do you have sketches of these things?" The male sets his books down off to the side.

"How do you even know what these are anyway?" Rainbow asks, suspicious of this random guy.

"Uh, well... Now it's my turn to tell you that you wouldn't get it. But I can try anyway. I'm Tabletop, but that wasn't always the case. I kinda came from a world similar to, but different from this one. My old group of friends found this other group claiming that they could send you to any reality you wanted, and I ended up here. But, I ask again, why do you have sketches of all those things?" Tabletop asks.

Princess Twilight's eye twitches. "Well, someone is using those things to attack us in a world on the other side of a mirror portal. He's completely destroyed a town and killed a lot of innocents."

"Oh, so Equestria's being attacked by some displaced dude, got it." Tabletop states as if that were a normal thing to say.

The whole group look to each-other in mild confusion. Sunset narrows her eyes. "We never mentioned Equestria by name."

"Well, that's another complicated thing. This place, and Equestria, are considered fictional in my home dimension. Tv shows and movies, but so are those things you sketched out. Since I'm also technically an outsider, I could deal with this rampant person back in Equestria. I just need you to take me to him, or her, or them." Tabletop says with a totally straight face.

Princess Twilight immediately grabs Tabletop and makes a mad dash out of the room. "Then there's no time to lose! You seem to know a lot about this stuff, so right now you're my best bet at preventing any more death and destruction!"

Meanwhile, everyone else in the room besides Pinkie is having an existential crisis, testing if things are in fact real, their worldviews totally shattered thanks to Tabletop's words.

Chad leads a march into Canterlot with his newly acquired not as gay anymore bug horse army, wearing the green Mystic Force ranger suit. Chrysalis follows giddily at Chad's side, excited that she'll finally get her revenge on the ponies for all that they've done to foil her plans. Meanwhile, Chad just wants to watch it all burn. The ponies run and panic in fear at the sight, as guards make their charge at the army. Chad points to the guards, signalling the hive to attack. As the armies clash, Chad walks through the conflict unscathed, appearing at the other end where none other than Celestia and Luna both stand. Chrysalis emerges from the commotion as well, with a few scratches and bruises.

"HALT! YOU HAVE COMMITTED UNSPEAKABLE CRIMES AGAINST EQUESTRIA AND ITS CITIZENS! YOUR REIGN OF TERROR ENDS HERE FIEND!" Luna bellows with her enraged Royal Canterlot voice™.

Chad laughs, quite loudly and mirthfully. "If this is the most heinous thing in this world, it's even gayer than I thought!"

Luna attempts to blast Chad with a powerful shot of magic. It fizzles out on contact, but does grab his attention.

"You all seem to love using your magic sooooo much. Mind if I use it too?" Chad pulls out his magi-staff, using it to conjure volleys of vines aimed right for the princesses, who immediately blast them away. This gives Chad an opening to throw out a Darkus and a Haos Pegatrix. The sight of these Bakugan in particular momentarily startling the princesses. Chad converts his magi-staff into its axe mode, using the speed spell to charge the princesses head-on while the Bakugan flank them. They're hit a few times before teleporting nearby with a counter-attack blast of magic aimed at the Bakugan, which connects due to their immense size, knocking them back in a daze. Celestia attempts to block the fast-approaching Chad with a shield, only for it to shatter on contact with his axe. This causes Celestia to reel back in mental pain, as Luna is sent crashing into her. They topple over, a smug Chad standing above them triumphantly.

"That almost tickled. For me, anyway..." Chad raises the axe for one final blow.

"CHAD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

Chad stiffens, frozen like a deer in the headlights. It... it can't be... I must be hallucinating, been in gay pony land too long. He turns, spotting a _ pony, still calling out to him as he rushes forward. Chad seems to recognize the pony, lowering his axe, only to point at the newcomer.

"Who are you and why do you sound like Timmy!?" Chad yells, unsure if it's really him or not.

"That's because it IS me Chad! What the HELL are you doing here!? Why are you being such an asshole!?" Tabletop, now dubbed Timmy yells as he closes the distance.

Chad powers down, embracing the pony. "Timmy! I thought you were murdered by some weird ass cult bronies!" Chad exclaims, tears running down his face.

"I wasn't. They kinda sent me here, well, not quite this place exactly, but to another world on the other side of a mirror from here.cause I thought it was all some joke or something, but they really did it. I didn't mean to actually leave you behind like that!" Timmy explains.

Chad lets go of Timmy, looking at everything he's caused. He stands up, holding his arm up with a middle finger, the symbol he and Chrysalis agreed upon would mean to stop fighting. "I have an announcement to make for the changelings!"

The changelings, and Chrysalis all look between each-other, confused. The guards all seem to be tied up, or unconscious.

"Get out of here! All of you! You're free!" Chad announces. The changelings look at him with immense confusion, but Chrysalis is getting angry. But before she can react, Twilight pins her down. "That's an order." Chad says in a lower, colder tone. The changelings all disperse, heading back to the hive.

"Traitors!" Chrysalis yells out in disdain, her plans having been foiled for yet another time.

"You can't betray someone you're enslaved to." Chad says to the now former queen.

Chrysalis looks at Chad, upset and distraught. "We were going to conquer this land together! You would have ruled it all! WE would have ruled it all!"

"I would have destroyed and killed everyone once we'd done that, you included. But... Now that I know Timmy's been completely fine..." Chad falls to his knees, looking at his shaking hands. The guilt crashing on him like a tidal wave. "What... what have I done..."

Author's Note

Next chapter will be the conclusion to this madness. Now that Chad's revenge is moot, his conscience is finally revealed. How will he deal with all of the pain and death he's caused? We'll just have to wait and see.
