Entering The Multiverse

It was now 8:00 AM, and Henry was already planning the siege on the Changeling hive. Charles and Rarity were snuggling together, Ellie was sleeping on the throne, and Reginald was standing outside by the balcony, staring off toward the hive. There was a knock at the throne room doors. Henry started walking to the door and answered it.

“Hello?” Henry said as he answered the door to an alicorn princess.

“Hello Henry, I am Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, but you can call me Cadence. I am here on behalf of the entire empire, and we would like to reward you and your friends with a banquet in your honor, will you and your friends be there?”

Henry was shocked, but accepted her proposal, “Sure thing, we’ll be there, when is it happening?”

“9:00 AM, is that good?”

“Yeah, actually that’s perfect”

“Okay, we will see you and the others at the dining hall, yes?”

“Of course, we’d be honored!” Henry said, waving her off as she walked away

Henry soon realized that Charles and Rarity were up, looking out over the balcony at the peaceful empire, and that Ellie had been walking up to Henry at that moment

“Hey Henry, good morning!” She ran up to him and gave him a hug

“Morning Ellie, how’d you sleep?”

“Good, what’s the game plan?”

“Well, Princess Cadence has offered us a banquet as a form of thanks for saving The Crystal Empire, it happens at 9:00 AM, we should get ready for it”

“A banquet? Sounds fun, I look forward to it” Ellie says, proceeding to get ready for the banquet

Charles and Rarity began to walk in from the balcony, and Charles said, “Oh Henry, you’re awake, so what’s going on?”

“We’ve got a banquet to go to, so get ready you two”

Reginald wasn’t too happy bout this, “But Henry, what about the Right Hand Man? We have to save him!”

“I know Reg, but we don’t have to save him until 10:00 AM, so let’s not worry about it right now, and just focus on this banquet, we will get The Right Hand Man back, but for now, lets get some food in our tummies and get well-refreshed, cool?”

“*Sigh* Alright, I suppose, when is it?”

“9:00 AM, so get ready”

And with that last statement, everyone quickly got ready for the banquet and headed towards the dining hall.

9:00 AM

Henry, Ellie, Charles, Rarity, and Reginald had finally arrived at the dining hall and were greeted by Shining Armor, who was currently taking attendance.

“Welcome, guests of honor, to this banquet, please find a seat and the banquet will start soon”
Shining Armor said, pointing to the long table in the dining room.

Henry and Ellie sat next to each other, so did Charles and Rarity, Reginald was the only one by himself, sitting at the end of the table.

Princess Cadence took notice of this and asked, “What’s wrong Reginald?”

“Well, The Right Hand Man was taken captive by the changelings, and I miss him so much” Reginald says, beginning to tear up

“Don’t worry, we’ll help you get him back, we all will” Princess Cadence says smiling

Henry and Reginald say in unison, “Really?”

“Yeah, its the least we can do for you all saving us, where is he?”

“The Changeling Hive, we move at 10:00 AM”

“Then we will be there to help, we all will” Cadence proclaimed, with everyone joining in, and Henry smiling with confidence

“Then its settled, we move at 10:00 AM”

And with that, everyone prepared for the siege on the Changeling hive, and they will do everything to get the Right Hand Man back.

10:00 AM, The Changeling Hive

Henry and the others were just now approaching the hive, they all stopped a short distance away from the hive

“So what’s the plan, Henry?” Reginald asked with interest.

“Okay, well I was thinking that Cadence, Shining Armor, and the guards could cover our entry into the hive, while me, Charles, Reginald, and Rarity ,make our way to the throne room, is that clear?”

“YEAH!!!!” everyone cheered

“Then lets do this!” Henry said, and the siege was on.

Cadence, Shining Armor, and the guards charged ahead and started to attack the Changelings by the front of the hive, while Henry, Charles, Rarity, and Reginald navigated their way to the throne room, reaching it within minutes.

They were then greeted by Chrysalis upon entering the throne room, who addressed them, “Ahahahaha, Welcome to my throne room, i’ve been expecting you”

Henry jumped right to the case, “Where’s the Right Hand Man?”

“I’ll never tell you, guards! Get them.”

The guards charged forward, but Henry batted them all back. Now he was set on attacking Chrysalis, who tried to blast Henry with her magic, but Henry absorbed it, Chrysalis was now cowering by her throne.

“Now where is he?” Henry asked, with his sword form equipped

Chrysalis smiled and said, “Right behind you”

And at that moment, Henry turned around and was tossed aside by The Right Hand Man, who had a green glow in his cybernetic eye.

Right Hand Man began to walk over to Henry, ready to blast him, and as he blasted his laser, Charles jumped in the way of the blast, which put a hole in his chest. Rarity quickly ran over to him and covered his wound with her mane, which wasn’t too smart, but it would prevent any infection. Right Hand Man continued to walk toward Henry, proceeding to pick him up and choke him, that was until Ellie showed up and kicked the Right Hand Man in the face, knocking him back.

“Ellie, where have you been?”

“I was still trying to get my gear together, are you alright?”

“Yeah, just not sure if Charles is”

Ellie looked over towards Charles and winced tearfully, then charged The Right Hand Man aggressively, only to get knocked back next to Henry, both of them tired out. The Right Hand Man didn’t see Rarity as a threat, so he moved onto Reginald.

“Wait! Right Hand Man! Don’t you remember me?” Right Hand Man proceeded to pick up Reginald by the neck and choke him, “Its… me… Reginald…” Reginald got out before losing consciousness.

That’s when The Right Hand Man regained his senses, “Reg? What happened?”

“They took control of you by reprogramming you, but now you’re back” Reginald said, regaining his breath.

Chrysalis was enraged at this, “But how!? My scientists reprogrammed you?!”

Reginald spoke up, “You can’t change a man’s allegiance, he will always be a Toppat at heart”

“No matter, I still hold control of Canterlot, and that’s our main base of operations, so you will never take us down” Chrysalis then flew out of the hive and retreated to Canterlot. Right Hand Man was about to pursue her, but was stopped by Reginald.

“We have to free the hostages” He said, pointing to the cocooned elements and other cocooned hostages

“Alright then” Right Hand Man then blasted the cocoons down from the ceiling, releasing those captured.

All the hostages were released, and Ellie switched places with Rarity in taking care of Charles so Rarity could reunite with her friends, with them all joining in one group hug

Twilight Sparkle now asked Henry, “Who are you five?”

“We are Team Stickmin, it is composed of Myself, Henry Stickmin, and a few others, being Ellie, Charles, Reginald, and The Right Hand Man. We were tasked by Princess Luna to free Equestria from its Changeling rule, and were originally brought here by Princess Celestia” Henry carefully explained

Twilight was shocked by the news of this, and simply fainted, with Applejack catching her. Henry slowly got up with Ellie in his arms.

“Anyways, I say we regroup at The Crystal Empire, lets go!”

Henry, along with everyone else, began to head out of the hive, and the Right Hand Man blew up the hive after everyone was evacuated so that the Changelings wouldn’t have much of a shelter to retreat to. Eventually, they all made it back to the Crystal Empire, where Twilight properly reunited with her brother, stepsister, and niece.

Rarity finally realized that Charles was still hurt, and quickly saw to Charles’s care, using her magic to repair his wounds. Rarity also casted a spell, which gave Charles the wings of a Pegasus, which practically turned him into an angel.

As Charles woke up, he looked around confused, but soon locked eyes with Rarity, “R-Rarity, w-what happen-” But before he could finish, Rarity locked lips with Charles, while Charles held her close, moaning into the kiss, which everyone awed at cutely, Ellie soon woke up in Henry’s arms and pulled him into a kiss also, with Henry moaning into the kiss. After what seemed like 30 minutes of emotions passing by, everyone slowly resumed back to reality.

“So where is Celestia and Luna now?” Twilight asked

“Canterlot, the main base of operations for the Changelings, and we're gonna need all the help we can get to take it back from the Changelings” Henry answered

“Well, we should strike ASAP, who knows how long the citizens of Canterlot have been held captive”

“Agreed, It won’t take us long to get there, correct?”

“Yes, I can teleport up to twelve of us to Canterlot, just outside the city”

“Then its settled, we do exactly that”

And with that, the Mane 6 and Team Stickmin teleported just outside Canterlot, planning to take it back from the Changelings.
