In the Future: Year 2025

"Come on Patrice! Keep fighting!" A young man with dark brown hair and a red shirt and white sweater said as lasers heated the air. A young woman with orange hair did a roundhouse kick, causing a figure's head to be launched into the air.

"I am Nate! Do you have the E.M.Peach ready yet!?" The young woman yelled as she pounded the ground with her fist, causing the earth to tremble. The young man named Nate growled.

"I'm trying Patrice! There's just too many of these zombies to even concentrate!" Nate yelled as he ducked under another beam. He was hiding behind a broken car when suddenly it was surrounded by a mystic glow, before it began to lift into the air. "What the-!?" The man yelled, before he thought quickly and rolled to the ground to another car, just in the nick of time as the place where he was became scorched. "What was that Patrice!?" Nate yelled.

"I don't know but it must be coming from that portal!" Patrice yelled as she pointed to a blue vortex. More mystic beams were being fired, each one causing a random object to telepathically be lifted up. Suddenly fast speedy figures flew from the portal, soaring high into the air. The two fighters and the few plants that were with them at the moment looked up in awe.

"Is that....?" Patrice said, recalling a creature that only appeared in myths and in some cartoon series. Above, though at first unrecognizable to them, the wings, the equine features, there was no doubt about what it was. "... a Pegasus?" The young woman asked, before the said equine body, along with various others soaring with it dropped from the sky and began their assault on them.

Present Day:

A young boy and girl lay on a wooden bench in a town called Neighborville. The boy had dark brown hair and a white and red shirt, while the girl had orange hair and a white and light blue shirt. Both of them were eating ice cream as it was summer. Both of them were wearing sunglasses, each according to their shirt's color, the boy's being red and the girl's being blue. The girl lowered her sunglasses.

"Nate?" The girl asked. Nate, the boy with red sunglasses, sat up.

"Yeah Patrice?" The boy asked. The girl sighed.

"Remember those times when we fought the zombies with Uncle Dave?" Patrice asked. Nate laughed.

"Oh you mean Crazy- sorry, Uncle Dave? Oh yeah. I remember." Nate said. "Still can't believe he's your uncle and that you can understand his gibberish." Nate said. The girl laughed.

"Says the one that can't dance." The girl said, laughing at the face the boy did. He scowled.

"Oh don't start reminding me about failing in the Discotheque of 1979..." Nate said, groaning. Patrice laughed even harder.

"Well...it's been quite some time from when we've defeated Dr. Zomboss." Patrice said. "The only problem is that now a different world has that burden." Patrice said. Nate laughed.

"Don't worry about it! That world will be fine! Heck they can control the sun and moon! Whenever they want they can make it forever day or forever night! Some are super strong! Some can fly! Some even use magic! And with the doctor having a weaker army and they having a stronger plant army than we've ever had, they'll be fine!" Nate said. Patrice sighed.

"I hope you're right." Patrice said. Suddenly a flash of light appeared as a blue vortex opened. The two children got up and shielded their eyes with their arms, until the light died out. Two figures suddenly were thrown from the portal. They yelled and crashed into the two children. When the dust settled they got up.

"Sorry kids! We're looking for Patrice and Nate!" The man said. The two children's eyes widened as they saw their future selves.

"Future Patrice! Future Nate!" The kids exclaimed, and the four embraced each other. They parted.

"How's the future going?" Nate said as he shook his future version's hand. Future Nate sighed.

"Not good." Future Nate said as he grabbed his tablet and placed it on the table. The tablet produced a 3D holograph which he started to browse through. He got to his desired location and the holograph produced a image, something which instantly sent chills through the kids.

"It...it-!?"

"It failed Patrice." Future Patrice said. "Dr. Edgar Zomboss was able to manipulate the power of the Princesses to make their homeland experience total darkness. You remember what happened to the plants when Edgar tried to block the sun with a thick fog. The plants got tired and couldn't fight. In the near future his plan eliminated every plant and pony, as well as any other species there that lived. With that done he would restart what he planned: The destruction of humanity."

The two kids were shocked. They hadn't considered that Equestria's sole advantage would be their sole disadvantage: Whoever had the power over the sun and moon is the one who has the power to change the tides of war.

"Don't worry! We'll go there in a short time! Wait for the month to en-"

"That's what we did, but by that time....Equestria was dead." Future Nate said. The four fell in silence.

"Is there anything to be done?" Patrice asked. Future Nate nodded.

"There might be a way." Future Nate said as he grabbed his tablet and began to calculate. "In the Garden Warfare stages, we were able to go back in time and prevent our future from happening. I think we could be able to do the same." Future Nate's tablet produced a vial with a electric bolt on it. Energy crackled inside of it. "We'll have to pour in more energy into Penny so that we'll be able to travel." Future Nate said as he opened up the energy storage and inserted the vial inside. He immediately closed it as Penny began to shake.

"Get Crazy Dave now. This thing will be going very soon." Future Patrice said and Nate raced towards Crazy Dave's house.

Crazy Dave's house was what you could expect. On the outside it looked like any other house, with the exception of some strange plants guarding it's gates. Unlike the active plants, because they were just there, their eyes were closed. Only when they become active does their eyes appear as they open their vision to attack.

Inside though, it's a whole different story.

Ever single corner, there is a plant. Not just one, dozens of them. They were in his refrigerator, which operated with the freezing aura of Frozen plants like Snow Pea. They were on the windowsill, they were everywhere. Bumping into some Wall-Nuts, Nate tries to find Crazy Dave.

"Dave! Penny is ready!" Nate yelled. Nate swore he heard some crashing noises, probably because the crazy man woke up from watching his gardening videos with shock. As he predicted, he saw Dave fall and crash on the ground. He did not worry though. Dave immediately got up from the ground outside and began to run towards the time-travelling car with Nate in tow.

"Let's rock and roll!" Dave yelled as Nate ran after him.

"Wait! Don't leave me he-" Nate yelled before he began to be stampeded by the plants who followed Dave. After a good five minutes of that, a shadow loomed over him. Nate groaned as he saw that it was Patrice.

"I said to get my uncle not to lay down there." Patrice said, of course mocking Nate. Future Patrice and Future Nate were also there.

"Yep! Seems that Nate never changes!" Future Patrice said, much to Future Nate's annoyance.

"Hey!"

"Come on it is true. Took you so long to become a dance champ." Future Patrice said. Future Nate rolled his eyes.

"Anyways let's get going! Time to save the world again!" Future Nate said, running to catch up with Crazy Dave who was already powering up the car. Future Patrice ran followed by the two younger kids.

"So...how you're feeling Patrice?" Nate said. They were already in the car which was about to depart in a short moment. Patrice shrugged.

"It feels strange. Nostalgia I'd say. It's been a while since we've went to save the world, and now it's that time again." Patrice said. Nate nodded.

"Yeah! Hey! Maybe I can take a photo- where's my phone?" Nate suddenly said, beginning to panic. Patrice laughed as she showed his phone. Nate swiped it away from her.

"Gotcha!" Patrice said. Nate opened up his phone and showed her the picture of him taking a photo with a dinosaur.

"ROAR!" Nate roared, trying to mimic a real life dinosaur. The two laughed.

"Just thought of something." Patrice said. "When we went into the future, we turned into our grownup selves. And that place has ponies....so....shouldn't we turn into ponies there?"

There was a utter silence as that idea hit their heads.

"Uh oh...." They all said in union, all of them looking at each other in terror.

"Let's rock and roll!" Crazy Dave yelled and with that they teleported out of Earth.
