My Little Avengers: Part 1

"A big threat? What big threat?" Tempest asked, standing in front of Sunset Shimmer and trying to understand what was going on. "If you are referencing the Storm King…"

"He's dead, Tempest," interrupted Sunset, hastily. "But, he's not important right now. King Sombra has been resurrected and is in cahoots with someone named Thanos."

Still, Tempest grew confused as she looked over towards the Guardians of the Galaxy.

"I am Groot."

"Yeah," added Rocket. "Thanos is a dude you don't want to mess with."

"What threat does this 'Thanos' pose to Equestria?" Tempest asked, walking over towards Rocket. "Does he have magic? Is he after Equestrian Magic?"

"Yes," said Bruce. "He's after Equestrian Magic and if he gets his hands on it, he can create another snap effect and wipe out all life in the…"

"Okay, okay, okay," interrupted Tempest, shaking her head from side to side. "I've heard enough. It appears to me that you are not just here to seek out Princess Luna…"

"We are here to seek out Princess Luna!" cried Quill, approaching Tempest. "But, if you want to join with us, we can always use the help."

Tempest didn't quite know what to make of this, but she and her companions had very little choice.

"How will I know," she asked. "That you are really here to help protect Equestria?"

The rest of the guardians merely rolled their eyes at this question.

"She is troubled," whispered Mantis, sensing the confusion in Tempest's mind.

"Look, all that matters is we warn the Princesses about what Thanos is trying to do," said Sunset, firmly. "And we aren't going to do it by just standing around here doing nothing! As we speak, my current home world is being turned upside down by Thanos!"

Hearing this, Tempest motioned for Grubber and Hannibal to break down camp while Thor and the Guardians helped out.

"Aren't you going to help?" Tempest asked Bruce. "Or are you just going to stand there and do nothing?"

"You don't have a lot of stuff," remarked Bruce, looking intently at Tempest. "And besides, I have more important matters to focus on right now."

…

A few moments later, the camp was fully broken down and they were all on their way, moving towards Canterlot as Princess Celestia stood on one of the towers of Canterlot Castle, lowering the sun. But, despite this, the elder Princess of the Day was deeply concerned.

"The sun has been set, sister," she said as Luna came forward to raise the moon. "If this is the only thing to focus on."

"This is about Hela, isn't it?" guessed Luna. "Look Celestia, what else could we have done with her?"

"Executed her for a start!" Celestia cried out in a loud voice, her eyes widening in fright. "I don't know, Luna, she frightens me and I don't know how to put it into words."

"Hela scares me too, sister," sympathized Luna, placing a hoof on her sister's shoulder. "But, we are doing this on behalf of Asgard. They can no longer keep her prisoner there."

Celestia sighed deeply, knowing very well the very difficult task that had been given to her.

"Besides," continued Luna. "If she does cause trouble, we can always have Cerberus turn her into a chew toy."

The amused tone in Luna's voice did little to help Celestia's worries. She could feel a chill go down her spine at the mere mention of her name. Nevertheless, Celestia had a kingdom to run for the time being.

"Well, I'm off," she said. "Good night, Luna."

"Good night, sister," Luna replied as Celestia retired for the night and she assumed her duties.

…

Back in the human world, Thanos along with Hela, Loki and Red Skull were awaiting the return of Sombra and the rest of his generals, hoping for any news of his targets' capture.

"Well, I can assure you, Thanos," said Loki. "That none of us intend to cause you any impatience in any way. If you want us to go and find what you seek ourselves, then…"

But before Loki could finish his sentence, Thanos rose from his throne and clutched Loki's throat tightly.

"No, because we are going to do things my way," he said quietly, grasping Loki's throat tightly. "The three of you are going to do exactly what I say without question."

"If…if that's what you…want," gasped Loki.

"Of course that's what I want," cried Thanos, suddenly releasing his grip on Loki and dropping him to the ground. "These pathetic fools won't find them here because they are not in this world. They are in the opposite world to this."

"How do you know?" asked Red Skull and Thanos activated the time stone inside the infinity gauntlet and showed them the human counterparts of Equestria's heroes with the Avengers. "But, Herr Thanos, it looks like our normal world."

"That's because it is, you fool! But, the wizard has a cauldron that can transport to the other world. We will gain access to the cauldron and thus, we all can go through to our targets."

Seeing what was in front of them, the three generals acknowledged what needed to be done.

…

Back in the search zone, the brainwashed citizens of the Equestrian human world continued to turn their town upside down, searching high and low for their targets. However, no trace of them could be found.

"Look," muttered Aria Blaze to her fellow sirens. "We can't find what Thanos wants, so why don't we just quit while the quitting's good?"

"No!" snapped Adagio, pointing at Aria and Sonta Dusk. "We cannot turn our back on Thanos!"

"Aria's right, Adagio!" remarked Sonata. "I mean, all we did was feed off of their hate and that's it. We need some action here or else, I'm going to die of BOREDOM!"

"Just be thankful you even have something to feast on!" Adagio retorted loudly, only to realize that her anger was going to get her nowhere. "But, I guess you are right. This is getting boring and unless Thanos does something soon, we're just wasting our time here."

Elsewhere, Sombra and the brainwashed turned evil alicorn principals of Canterlot High were turning the high school upside down, making a mess of everything in their desperate search for the girls."

"They are nowhere to be found!" cried Nightmare Moon to Sombra.

"Keep looking!" barked Sombra. "We shall not rest until they are found and brought to Thanos!"

Snarling quietly, Nightmare Moon did as she was told. At the same time, Daybreaker wasn't fairing any better, tearing apart her own office and setting it on fire.

"I trust you haven't found them either," remarked Sombra, only for Daybreaker to turn and snarl at him. "It figures."

"This is boring!" moaned Daybreaker, rolling her eyes. "Why don't you do us a favor and go tell Thanos that you failed to find what he wants?"

Sombra was incensed to hear what was said to him. He was a king and wasn't going to be treated anything less than that.

"How dare you speak to me like that?" he shouted, grabbing Daybreaker by her collar. "You shall do as you are told or else!"

"Or else what?" laughed Daybreaker. "That you'll just treat me and Nightmare Moon like your students?"

Angered even further, Sombra attempted to make Daybreaker obey him and him alone, but his hypnotizing magic was gone. Suddenly, he felt a summons from inside of him and knew that it was Thanos summoning him and the others back to Camp Everfree.

"Consider yourself lucky, fool!" he cried, turning his back on Daybreaker. "That Thanos is summoning us before I can deal with you with my bare hooves!"

Daybreaker couldn't help but snicker to herself at how embarrassing Sombra was to her and Nightmare Moon.

…

Heeding the call, Sombra and the others all returned to Camp Everfree while Thanos waited for them. Upon returning to the camp, Sombra and the brainwashed generals stood before him, only to find Loki, Hela and Red Skull standing next to him.

"Who are they?" Sombra asked Thanos, pointing towards them.

"They are new generals," Thanos announced in a commanding voice. "Generals that will help me find what I want."

"Wait, wait, wait," cried Sonata, waving her hands back and forth. "You mean…you are replacing us as generals?"

"Shut up, Sonata!" whispered Adagio, nudging Sonata in the side.

"Not replacing, but you are hereby demoted as my primary generals," Thanos replied. "It occurs to me that the targets I seek are not in this world."

Sombra was stunned to hear this revelation, but the others gave no reaction.

"We must now turn our attention to the land of Equestria itself!" Thanos continued. "Anyone who defies me shall be destroyed right now!"

Thanos waited for anyone to defy him, but none of them answered.

"Very good," he said quietly. "Loki and Red Skull."

The red skulled Nazi and Asgardian troublemaker stepped forward and faced Thanos.

"Prepare for a full assault on the sanctum of Dr. Stephen Strange," he finished.

"What sanctum?" asked Loki to Red Skull, only for Thanos to stomp his foot and regain his command over the room. Without saying another word, Thanos activated the Infinity Gauntlet and transported his entire army out of Camp Everfree.

…

Back in the Sanctum, the remaining Avengers were continuing to prepare for their planned attack when they suddenly began to feel a vibration rocking the sanctum.

"What the hell?" asked Sam, suddenly rising to his feet. "Is it an earthquake?"

"No, it can't be," remarked Peter. "New York doesn't get earthquakes."

"Of course they get earthquakes, Pete," whispered Tony. "But, I've got a feeling that this isn't an earthquake."

"As do I," added Dr. Strange and suddenly, without warning, a loud boom was heard, sending cars and people flying. Immediately jumping into action, Dr. Strange and Steve Rogers ran outside and saw a very distressing sight in front of them. "It's him."

Running back inside, Steve called out for the others to join them.

"Get out here now!" he yelled as the rest of the Avengers got into battle mode mentality. "It's him! It's Thanos!"

"We'll come help!" cried Sci-Twi as she and the rest of the Equestria Girls tried to move only to be stopped by Scarlet Witch. "Hey! What gives?"

"Stay here," she said. "Because we may need you in reserve."

"Reserve?" cried Applejack, the vibrations causing to fall back onto the ground and feeling a sharp pain from her injuries. "We can face this guy, y'all!"

"No, some of you are still hurt and if you are killed…"

However, the sounds of crashing objects caused Scarlet Witch to hastily retreat outside, but not before casting a shield spell around the Canterlot High girls to protect them from the falling debris.

"You got to admit," remarked Pinkie Pie. "She is good at casting shield spells."

…

Huddling outside, Dr. Strange wasted no time shield himself and the remaining Avengers from the onslaught of debris being hurdled at them as Thanos and his forces continued to make their presence known.

"Where are they?!" demanded Thanos, pointing his sword right at the Avengers. "Tell me and I will spare your lives!"

"You won't spare our lives, Thanos!" shouted Dr. Strange. "We all know how capable your are and will do nothing to get what you want!"

"Turn the girls over to me!"

"Not on your life, Thanos!" retorted Hawkeye, reading his bow and arrow. "You took my family away from me and now, I'm going to return the favor!"

Taking an arrow out of his quiver, Hawkeye fired a shot right for Thanos' heart, only for Thanos to send it away.

"I know you are hiding them," Thanos said. "And I will turn this city upside down until I find them!"

"You want the Canterlot High girls," cried Scarlet Witch, her hands glowing red with fury. "You'll have to get through us, all of us! And you are going to pay for what you did to Vision!"

Hearing the sound of her deceased lover's name merely brought a smile to Thanos' face.

"Enough of this," he said to Loki. "Kill anyone who stands in your way."

Acknowledging the order, Loki donned his horned battle helmet as Thanos pointed his forces in the direction of the Avengers.

"Remember," said Dr. Strange to the other Avengers. "Don't let them pass!"

…

Meanwhile, from inside his lair in Equestria, Grogar was watching the conflict take place inside his crystal ball.

"Very soon," he chuckled to himself. "Thanos' power will be mine and mine alone."
