Chapter 13 Pony Up in Perim
Previous ChapterThe Forest of Life???

Frafdo stood in front of the plant creatures now called the Panivians with his bow draw. “Releash them now!” Frafdo ordered the Panivians.
“See, all those other creatures just want to fight us!” Opnos said, then his fists started to glow, “And a fight is what they’re going to get.” He rushed toward Frafdo.
“Slashclaw!” But was stopped when the attack almost hit him. Above, the attack came from Attacat standing atop of the dome. “Let’s go then.” Attacat stated as jump down.
“Frafdo! Attacat! It's great to see you guys!” Owis cheered.
“Don’t worry, we'll get you all out of here!” Frafdo then turned his attention to the Panivians, “As soon as we take care of them.”
Opnos glared at them and sent five vives at them but Frafdo was able to shoot them all down. Attacat rushed toward and started attacking him with his claws. Seeing this, “Kovnest, Bandelum, help out Opnos!” Gindpad ordered and they nodded.
“Not so fast!” Frafdo fired an arrow that created a smoke cloud that covered the field. As Frafdo and Attacat fight the Panivians within the smoke cloud, two others use the dome vine to climb down below Tom, Rarity and the captive Overworlders. But one of them lost their grip and fell onto her butt, next to them, the person was Twilight who was rubbing her butt and groaning in pain.
“Twilight!?” Tom was shocked to see her. Then, the other person swung down on the vive and landed next to the others.
“Fluttershy!?” Rarity said in shock too as the person was Fluttershy.
“Were you the one that found Frafdo, Attacat and brought them here?” Tom asks them.
"More like they found us. Ow, curse My weak nerd arms!" Twilight cried and stood back up, “Any when, we need you get you all out.” She then pulled out a small dagger with a red ruby on it.
Owis turns to Twilight, “Please human, you must free me first.” He then turned back to the battle within the smoke cloud. “These Panivians are nothing we have ever seen or fought before, Frafdo and Attacat can't handle them on their own.” Owis insisted.
Fluttershy appears right next to him, “We know,” Pull out her own dagger and begin cutting him free, “That’s why we’re going free you all so you can help them.” As she stated that Twilight was cutting Deenha from her vine.
“Thank you.” Owis slowly thanks them.
“No problem, now we need to move fast!” Twilight calm still cuts Deenha’s vine. ‘Just hope we can make it work?’ She thought to herself remembering the plan they come up with.
A few minutes before, Frafdo floated back to Attacat and the girls. “Well how is it?” Attacat asked.
“Right now, there are only four of them and they have Owis, Julip, Deenha and Yokkis captured. And I saw they have two humans tied up too, one looks like Tom and the other one is a female with long purple hair.” Frafdo informs them.
“That’s our friends!” Fluttershy shouted.
Frafdo starts devising a plan, “Okay here the plan, I create a smokescreen and use it to fight on those plant creatures,” Frafdo then pointed at Attacat, “While I distract them, you free the others.”
“Well I guess that's a good plan if any.” Attacat said and the two were ready to execute it.
“Wait,” Twilight stopped them, “Are you sure you can beat those guys on your own?” She asked Frafdo.
“I hold no delusion of that, my only goal is give Attacat the chance to save the others.” He stated.
“I work fast so me and the others can help you fight them!” Attacat vow.
“But are you sure you can handle them until then?” Twilight asked Frafdo.
“What other choice do we have here?” Frafdo stated to her, “Our friends need us now, there is no other choice but…”
“Excuse me,” Fluttershy raises her hand to give everyone attention and quickly puts it down when everyone looks at her, “Why not let me and Twilight free the others so Attacat can help Frafdo fight until we free them.
“What? Fluttershy?” Twilight replies in shock.
“Tom and Rarity need us. And I want to help the other OverWorlders too.” Fluttershy explained.
“No way, you can’t inspect me to believe you won’t just free your friends so all of you can just port out of here.” Attacat protest.
“What? How do you still not trust us?” Twilight was annoyed by him. “Our friends need us
“Even if you are friends with Tom Majors, you’re still chaotic players. How can we be sure you won’t disappear on us?” Attacat questioned them further but before Twilight could answer.
Fluttershy holds out her scanner toward Attacat. “Then take this,”
“What?” Attacat and Frafdo were surprised at this.
“Fluttershy?” Twilight tries to protest to her.
“Now even if we free our friends first, I can stay and help you guys out.” Fluttershy look at them seriously, “I know you’re worried and scared for your friends just as we ours. So please let us help you guys.” She pleaded with them.
Attacat was surprised and hesitated to take Fluttershy’s scanner but Frafdo grabbed it instead. “This and your words are good enough. We will distract them while you two free the others.” He ordered them and then gave them the two daggers. “Their vives might be too strong for your human arms, take this.”
Then Frafdo grabs both Fluttershy and Twilight and floats them to the top of the vine drone while Attacat uses his claws to climb there. Frafdo put the girls down and looked down to see what the Panivians were about to do to the others. “Ok, once I create the smoke screen, you two get to work.” He said then fly down.
Attacat arrived too and looked back at the two. “Just stay out of trouble.” He then jumped down too.
Twilight looks back at Fluttershy. “Ready Shy?”
Fluttershy nodded, “Still scary but I’m ready.” The two girls begin to climb down to free Tom, Rarity and the other Overworlders.
The Hive Gallery

Nunk’worn look down on Sarah, Peyton, Applejack, Wamma, the danians and the injured Pinkie. “Must… must, destroy you all!” He yells as he’s about to attack them until.
“Flame Orb!” Someone called out a fire attack and it hit Nunk’worn in his face. The attack came from Fassh who arrived with some Danian guards. “Open fire!” He and the soldiers start blasting Nunk’worn back away from the group with attacks and battlegears. Fassh rushed over toward Odu-Bathax. “You okay sir?” He asked him.
“Nevermind me, just keep blasting him!” Odu ordered, Fassh nodded and the two joined Danian guards to attack Nunk’worn.
Meanwhile, Peyton runs over to Sarah and tries to pull her. “Come on Sarah, we need to leave now!” He said.
Sarah, still in shock, nodded in understanding. “Yeah, let go,” She stood back up while carrying the unconscious Pinkie and the two ran out of the battle.
Applejack and Wamma following after them, Applejack looks worried seeing Pinkie like this. “Pinkie, is she going to be ok?” She asked them.
“Don’t worry Jackie,” Peyton said back to her, “All we need is to port her back to Chaotic!” He reassured her.
The group quickly finds a corner in the road. Sarah began going through Pinkie’s pocket. “Just to find her scanner and port her out of here.” She then turned to Wamma, “Wamma, you better find somewhere to hide.”
“Right ahead of you, I leave as soon as you guys do.” Wamma assures them.
But as soon as Sarah could pull out Pinkie’s scanner, a big explosion could be heard. The group looks ahead to see a gust cloud coming from the left with a few Danian guards being knocked back. Then the group could hear Nunk’worn crawling toward and before they could do anything, the wall behind them created a square hole and four arms pulled each of them in the hole. The hole in the wall quickly seal itself up just before Nunk’worn appear and see it. He looked around the corner but couldn’t find them, and let out a growl then left.
When the group opened their eyes, they found themself in some kind of study room filled with books and three tables. “Where are we?” Sarah asked.
“My studies,” A voice answered, that voice came from another Dainan orange skin with four arms and white mohawk-like haircut, he’s also wearing a dark yellow robe.
“Raznus?” Both Petyon and Sarah said his name in surprise.
Raznus looks at the two humans carefully. “I saw you two faces before. You’re friends of Tom and Kaz, right?”
The two nodded, “Yes, great to finally meet you my sage guy.” Peyton greeted him.
“So you know this Danian?” Applejack asked.
“Well not really, but he’s a friend of Tom and Kaz. Thanks for saving us and what is this place?” Peyton thanks and asked him.
“This is my special study room,” Raznus explained, “I was doing some research when I overheard the M'arrillian screaming around here.”
Sarah knee down and still carrying Pinkie's injured body, Applejack walks over to place a hand on her head. “Poor Pinkie.” Applejack looks on in worry.
“What happened to that one?” Raznus pointed at Pinkie and asked.
“Well, she got hit by Nunk’worn trying to save Sarah from him.” Wamma explains, “And this isn’t the first time she tries to save her.”
“What do you mean?” Sarah asked.
“He right, earlier when you tried to scan Nunk’worn the first time a stalactite from the fight almost hit you if Pinkie pushed you from it.” Applejack told in a frustrated tone and little tears in her eyes.
“What?” This information surprises her and makes her feel even more guilty, “I thought she was just goof off,” Sarah looks at Pinkie’s unconscious face. “Why would she do that after I've been nothing but a jerk to her?”
“It simply, the girl alway do what she can to make her friends happy. Even if they don’t want to be friends, and that’s honestly true.” Applejack explained to her.
Sarah starts crying and pulls Pinkie tightly, “I’m so sorry,” Applejack looks at Sarah sympathy and tries to reach out her hand toward her, “I’m especially sorry to you, Applejack.” Sarah turns to Applejack. “I was happy to have you as a Danian fan as a friend. And seeing how Peyton had a good scan quest with Pinkie, I got jealous. And wanted the same here but I got caught up getting great Danian scans.” Applejack gave Sarah a soft look, “I’m sorry Applejack, I hope you won’t hate Danian after this?”
Applejack finally placed a hand on her shoulder. “It's ok sugarcube,” She smiled at her, “And what Ah said before was out of line. Ah was in shock how the Danian would turn others into one of them, how it drove him crazy, and how they treated him about it.” Applejack looks down on her knees but looks back up in determination. “Ah still think he deserved better but after what he did to Pinkie, he's going to get a beating first.”
Raznus then walks next to the girls, “Seeing you open up like this, reminds me of another two creatures and their friendship.” Raznus smiles in nostalgia, “I think I have something that could help your friend.” He pulled out a Danian mugic and it fluted up then an orange-brown mugician came out of him. The mugician fly into the mugic and Raznus call out. “Song of Symmetry! Let me take this human pain so she may have my strength!” The mugic play it song and two ray of lights shine down, one on Raznus, the other one on Pinkie.
When the mugic finish and the lights from it disappear, Pinkie supply open eyes then she jump off of Sarah’s arms. “Woo-hoo!” She cheered in joy.
“Pinkie!” Applejack, Sarah and Peyton cheer in unison as they run up to her.
“Hey, man that was weird, one minute I was feeling a lot of pain all over and the next second, it was all gone like it was never there and… “ Pinkie began to ramble on like her old self but was cut off.
By Sarah who grabbed her in a hug. “Pinkie, I’m sorry for everything!” She apologized.
Pinkie returns the hug and pat Sarah on the head. “Don’t worry Sarah, I’m just really happy you’re ok too.” She smiles and continues hugging her.
Then Applejack and Peyton come over and comfort her. “Good to have you back, Pinks!” Peyton patted Pinkie on the back.
“We were so worried for y’all, sugarcube.” Applejack wrap arms around her neck.
As the four rejoiced, Raznus fell to his knees and hand. Everybody sees this and rushes toward him. “Wow, Raznus you okay?” Wamma asked him.
“I’m fine, that damage was a lot more than expected.” Raznus comment.
“Cause you use the Song of Symmetry.” Sarah stated.
“Ah heard of that, it’s a mugic that heals one creature while damages the other,” Applejack exclaimed.
“Oh no Raznus, you hurt yourself to save me.” Pinkie gasps.
“No worry my dear, us creatures are a lot tougher than you humans.” Raznus assures her but groans in pain. “Can one of you hand me my cane over there?” He pointed at a white cane next to a table covered in a blanket.
“I get it.” Pinkie volunteers and moves to get the cane but when she grabs it, her finger touches a piece of the blanket and when she pulls it away she also pulls the blanket off the table. On the table it’s revealed to be a couple of white crystal pieces and in the center was a big white crystal ball. “Woah, pretty.” Pinkie beam and grab one of them.
The other minus Raznus moves to the table to see too. “Never see those before, they're beautiful.” Sarah exclaimed as she picked one up.
“You can say that again, girl.” Peyton agreed.
“Rares would have a heart attack if she saw those.” Applejack comment.
Wamma turns to Raznus. “Raznus, what are those?” He asked.
“I have no idea, I found them outside of Mount Pillar. I also discovered that there’s some kind of energy source in it, one I have never seen before. I took it back here and broke some pieces off to do some research.” Raznus explains.
Pinkie walked over to Raznus to give him the cane and Raznus used it to stand up. Then the group could hear other explosive noise coming outside along with Nunk’worn screaming. “Man, I really hope Odu-Bathax and Fassh defeat him soon before he get to Queen Illexia.” Wamma stated worrying.
“Nunk’worn is just random rampage, why are you guys so worried about him getting to the queen?” Sarah asked them.
Wamma and Raznus look at each other, then Raznus answers them. “If you must know, the queen is in a delicate process. She’s beginning to give birth to our new queen.”
“What!?” Sarah yelled in surprise.
“Giving birth!?” Peyton and Applejack said in unison.
“The Queen is a momma!?” Pinkie added,
Raznus nodded, “Yes, our future is being born and Nunk’worn could be a problem if he gets to the queen."
Sarah stood and spoke up. "That means if he hurt Illexia or the new queen…!"
"Then the Danians are doomed." Raznus finishes for her.
"We have to stop him before he gets to the queen!" Applejack stated with determination.
But Sarah shook her head, "No AJ, we should just port back until this whole thing blows over." She exclaimed.
"What? ya can't be serious?!"
"Applejack, it’s getting too dangerous for us to continue. Nunk’worn was able to handle an army of Danians and Pinkie got seriously hurt by him, what in Perim are four chaotic players going to do?" Sarah asked her.
Applejack looked down at where her geode was supported to be. "Ah know that Sarah but Ah can't leave the Queen and Danians like this, Ah couldn't live with meh self if Ah do." Applejack said.
"I feel the same Applejack but..." Sarah was about to protest.
"But nothing girl," Peyton spoke up, "If you girls want to help them then you can count me in" He pointed to himself.
"Me too, the Danians are your friend Sarah. So let us help too." Pinkie chim in.
"Guys," Sarah looks at three and ponders for a second. "Well, we sure at least check to make sure Nunk’worn doesn't get to the queen." Sarah turns to Raznus and Wamma. "Raznus, can this place lead us to the queen?"
Raznus nodded, "Yes," He walked to a wall and touched a latch then the wall formed a door shaped hole. "Follow here." And the group enters in the pathway to get to the queen before Nunk’worn does.
Shadow City, In a different plane of existence

Kaz, Sunset and Rainbow Dash continue to run throughout the Umbrian city being chased by Eskalier who is using the buildings to keep up with them. “Come back here you!” He ordered as he landed on the ground.
“Come on dude, we weren’t even the ones that hit you!” Rainbow complained back to him, “Go after Garble instead!” She then spotted a couple of barrels and ran toward them then kicked one of them with enough force to hit Eskalier on the head.
Eskalier removed the barrel but once he did, the three disappeared from sight. Eskalier let out a growl and took off in a different direction. Around the corner to the street, Kaz, Sunset and Rainbow Dash were hiding behind a wall until Eskalier left, they all let out a sigh of relief. “Ok guys we need to come up with something else, we can’t keep doing this forever.” Sunset stated.
“Like we have any other choice, without our scanners all we can do is run.” Kaz exclaimed.
“Man, I wish we can use our powers here! Then we can fight back.” Rainbow whined.
“I know, Right,” Kaz turned toward Sunset. “Hey Sunset, this will be the perfect time for you two to use your super pony. Magic. Powers about now!”
“Yeah but I don’t know how.” Sunset answered, “Without our geodes we can’t access our power or transform, plus we still don’t know how I was able to use it back at Gothos Tower last time.”
“Well how does it usually work for you guys on earth?” Kaz asked.
Rainbow answered him, “It used to be just through our music.” That got her an idea and she looked at her surroundings. She started gathering junk pieces making Sunset and Kaz were confused. She put them together to create a made shift guitar. “Not my best work but this will have to do. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Awesome as I wanna be!” She began playing on the guitar and singing her song, not really great.
Kaz and Sunset were dumbfounded by this. “Rainbow Dash, what are you doing?” She asked.
Rainbow answered by giving her a second made shift guitar. “Come on, playing music might be our best chance to get our power back. Just start singing.” She explained and went back to playing.
Seeing no other choice, Sunset reluctantly took the guitar then played it. "You're never gonna bring me down! You're never gonna break this part of me!" She sang. The girls play on their made shift guitar in an attempt to bring out their power, Kaz looks on with a mix of anxiety and embarrassment at this. But then, a rumble sound was coming from the distance, the girls stop playing and look at the direction of sound. As it got closer, it started to sound like someone was running toward them. The three stood ready before it came out in the open and the thing was a person. “Garble ?” Sunset spokes, she was ready as it was Garble who was screaming and running until he fell down next to them.
“Ow,” Garble let out as he raised his head and looked up at the three Underworld players. “You guys!” He quickly got up, “Good you're alive, come on I need your help” He tried to grab one of them.
But his shirt ends up being grabbed and pulled toward Sunset’s face who glares at him. “You have some nerve showing yourself!” She yells at him.
“What's your problem?” He asked.
“What’s my problem? I should be asking you! You left Kaz alone to get attacked by Eskalier!”
“And the fact you're the reason we stuck here in the first place!” Rainbow added sharing the same anger toward him.
"You guys can't hold that against me, it was just payback" Garble exclaimed and got Sunset off of him. "Let's just work together, we’re stuck in an unknown location without any way to port out here and being hunted by two dangerous creatures."
"Because of you!" The three shouted back at him in unison.
But Kaz then realized, "Wait, what do you mean two?" He asked.
“I think he talked about me,” A voice claimed as the four looked up to see the voice came from Jijhani who stood over them on top of a building. "Well look at this, my playmate found me more toys."
The sight of him terrified Sunset, Kaz and Rainbow Dash apart seeing him. "W-who is that?" Kaz asked, feeling scared of him.
"The name is Jijhani and you left dear Eskalier behind." Jijhani introduces and drops to the ground.
Then start to walk toward them and they try to move back as he steps toward them. "Great, what did you do to him?" Rainbow whispers to Garble, accusingly.
"Nothing! He’s the one who came after me first!" Garble argued and pointed back.
"He’s right, Eskalier would have treated you all nicely but for me. You all are now intruders of the Umbrian and I will show you what I personally do to intruders." Jijhani said as ignited one of his hands in flames.
Sunset looks back at her friends and Garble, "Guys, I know we’re getting tired of this but I think we should run again." She subject.
"You're going no way, Danihilation!" Jijhani blasts a fire attack toward them.
Ulmar's lab

In the tunnel-like area, Fizzle was running through here while still holding the crystal ball, panicking. “Come back here!” H'earring calls back to him as he tries to catch up with him.
"No!" He yells back and tries to run further.
"Enough of this," H'earring exclaimed, "Power Pulse!" He then let out a pulse attack that went past Fizzle and hitting a spot, the force from it pushed him back on the ground. Before he could get back on his feet, H'earring landed on his belly and stared back at him. "Give back the crystal!"
"No!" He still refuses, holding it tightly.
"Ulmar needs that to bring Kaz and his friends back!"
"No! Not until Garble gets me a call or something to tell me he's out already." He stated.
"He can't do anything like that now." H'earring told, and Fizzle was confused. “When your friend pushes mines’ in the mirror portal, they all drop their scanners, look.” H'earring pulls out Garble’s code scanner and this shocks him. “There’s no other way to bring them back but to get that portal fixed.
“Right?”
“Yes, now bring that crystal back so we can get them back before the worst could happen.” H'earring said and Fizzle nodded, the two ran back to the lad with the crystal in hand.
Mount Pillar within the shaft

Sarah, Peyton, Applejack, Pinkie, Wamma and Raznus arrive in the shaft of Mount Pillar from Raznus’s pathway and are climbing to the top to give to the queen using the roots but with Raznus riding on Wamma’s back. “Do you know how hard it is for me to do something like this with you on me?” Wamma whine to Raznus
“Just quit complaining.” Raznus said back to him. “I’m still recovering.”
“At this rate, it will take us forever to get to the top.” Sarah said, trying to keep her hold.
“Not exactly,” Raznus begins to explain. “We’re only halfway to the throne room.”
The person that had the hardest time was Peyton who was barely holding on and way behind the others. "Yeah, almost there, just a little more." Peyton commented, almost losing his grip. Looking up, Petyon could see Pinkie and Applejack climbing easily and much further than everyone else. “Geez Pinks, how are you and Jackie so good at this?”
“Oh, me and Apple Bloom and Big McIntosh climb trees all the time to pick apples. But the trees back home were a lot smaller." Applejack stated.
“Plus, who can’t have a good time climbing!” Pinkie cheer as she and Applejack climb higher
Then Raznus called out to them. “Pinkie! Applejack! Stop right there!” He orders and the two do so, stopping in their tracks.
“Why do you stop them?” Sarah asked.
"Because that spot, behind there is the floor to the queen." Raznus explains, "Come on Wamma, move faster!" He ordered him.
Wamma let out a defeated sigh and continued but, "Hey Wamma," Peyton grabbed his leg to get his attention. "You mind helping a brother out?" He asked, beaming. Wamma reluctantly grabs Peyton and climbs up.
Everyone reaches the spot, Raznus pushes something and another secret entrance appears. The group enter the room and walk through the hall until they reach the doors to the queen's throne room with Danian guards surrounding it. Raznus holds out his arm to the other behind him to stop them. "Ok stop,” He looked around the top. “Vollash and the flying mandibles guards should be around here."
Everyone looked at the entrance with the guards from a distance. "Everything looks fine, guess Nunk'worn haven't reached here yet." Peyton exclaimed in relief.
But then, a big explosion blasted through the floor, making a hole and knocking the guards out. Coming out of the hole was Nunk'worn.
"Spoke too soon, Peyton." Sarah stated to him.
He floated in front of the door while head was still hurting, then screamed and lunged toward the door but was stopped when he got hit by an electric blast. Then five more hit him, stunning him. The electric attacks came from huge ants that have red carapace and transparent blue wings, they surrounded him and pointed their weapons at him. “Who are those guys?” Pinkie asked.
“It’s Vollash and the mandibles bodyguards, they stop him just in the nick of time!” Raznus exclaim as they start covering Nunk'worn in webs.
“Whoa, Ah knew there were flyin’ Danians but Ah never seen those before.” Applejack was awe.
“Yeah, Vollash and the others are the strongest mandibles in Mount Pillar, So much that they’re the personal bodyguards of the queen.” Sarah told Applejack which awe her more.
As the flying mandibles wrap up Nunk'worn in the web and about to take him away, Wamma chimed “This is great, the problem is solved and we didn’t even need to lift a finger.”
“Yeah, come on guys let go.” Peyton said.
Sarah however looked closely at the unconscious Nunk'worn but then she saw one of his eyes open wide. Seeing it, Sarah yells out loud trying to warn them. “He’s awake!”
This causes everyone to turn to her, then Nunk'worn rip webs off of him and toss all the flying mandibles away with his tail. With one of them hitting the door and breaking it. “What is this?!” The voice came from Queen Illexia herself. She was a huge Danian with a very big backside and brown skin. Seeing her, Nunk'worn lunged toward her.
“Queen Illexia!” Raznus rushes out of their hiding place to stop him, “Symmetry Slam!” And fire a energy attack at him but Nunk'worn dodging it. Then headed toward him and launched a headbutt on his stomach, Raznus was sent slamming to a wall.
“Raznus!” Pinkie yells, then her and Applejack rushes toward him.
"Sorry, I can't move." Raznus said while groaning in pain.
Nunk'worn looming over but before he could do anything, "How dare you harm my Danians?!" Queen Illexia questions the Danian-M'arrillian as she stands from her throne and stares at him. “Stand down now!” She ordered.
However, Nunk'worn move toward and try to hit Illexia. But his strike was stopped by Wamma who quickly moved to the queen’s side to block. Everyone was surprised to see his action. “I may not like working but I just like any Danians won’t let you harm our queens! Flame Orb!” Then unleashed a fireball attack.
Nunk'worn move his head to dodge it than grab Wamma and throw him aside. “Rainspears!” He launched pierced water arrows on him until he hit the ground next to Raznus.
Sarah and Peyton rush over to him, “Wanna?!” Sarah cries out to him in worry.
Nunk'worn seeing the two Danians that attack him and the four chaotic players move toward them. “You all did this to me, This is all your fault!” And he was getting ready to fire a big attack on them.
The Forest of Life???

The battle continued with the smoke cloud finally faded away, Both Frafdo and Attacat were getting exhausted from fighting the Panivians. “How are you holding up, Attacat?” Frafdo asked him.
“I want to say, I could do this all day but I’m almost at my limit.” He answered.
The four Panivians stand opposite against them. "You thought that smoke cloud would be enough to defeat us?" Opnos mock them.
"Well, they did get a few good hits." Bandelum comments and Opnos glares back at him, annoyed.
“That was a good effort but it was not enough.” Gindpad said to them and the Panivians stood next to him. “Now surrender to us or else.” He warns as he and the Panivians aim at them.
Just before they could fire, “Hampering Winds!” Green wind energy attack hit Kovnest and Opnos, knocking them back. The attack came from Deenha who was now free. “Don’t worry you two.”
Then Yokkis appear next to Bandelum. “You won’t have to face them alone.” Yokkis said, “Sludge Gush!” And shoots a sludge on Bandelum’s face, hurting him as he screams and covers his face.
“That right,” Owis finishes as he and Julip walk up next to them. “We have your backs.”
"Rip Tide!" Both Owis and Julip shouted in unison as a torrent of water shot out of their hands hitting Gindpad, pushing him back. Then the two help Frafdo and Attacat on to their feet.
“You two alright? Can you still fight?” Owis asked them.
The two nodded and Attacat looked back to see the six chaotic players were still here. Fluttershy and Rarity were still in the process of freeing their friends. “It looks like those two kept their word.”
“And that’s mean?” Frafdo raises a brow at him.
Attacat took a moment then opened eyes, “We need to buy enough for them.” He stated and the others nodded. Then, Opnos leaps up and tries to attack from above.
The others quickly move before his fist landed. “No one is leaving!” Opnos exclaim then summon vives to attack them.
Back with the four, Twilight was with Tom cutting off his vive and Fluttershy was doing the same for Rarity’s. “Don’t worry Rarity, I'm almost done.” Fluttershy was cutting the last of the vives.
“Thank you darling, and please hurry up.” Rarity said then, Fluttershy was able to remove the last one and free Rarity. “Oh thank you darling.” She thanks Fluttershy by giving her a light hug.
Twilight was able to let one of Tom’s arms free but in the pursuit, the blade on her dagger crumbles and falls apart. “Oh no!” Tom and Twilight look in worry seeing the breaking pieces falling.
“Fluttershy!” Twilight called to her, both her and Rarity looked toward her. “My dagger broke, Can you hand me yours?” Twilight asked.
Fluttershy nodded and was about to give it to her but. “Wait!” A voice screams to them, everyone looks up to see Clump and Fume were tied up in their own vives too. “Help us too!”
Twilight then recognizes them, “Wait you’re those Dragon Pack guys, what are you two doing here?” She asked, and both of them turned away to not answer her.
But Tom answered for them. “Apairly, those two came here to mess up our scan quest. And I guess your other members are doing the same to our friends.” Tom then suggest, the two look nervous when Tom asks that. “Guess that answers that.”
“Look we're really sorry, we haven't even done anything to you guys yet.” Fume tried to explain.
“That means you guys were planning on doing something to us!” Twilight pointed out and the two looked away.
“What about our friends? What have ruffians done to them?” Rarity questions them.
“Sorry, we don’t know. We haven’t got a call from Garble or the others yet.” Clump explains.
“Please we had enough of all of this and just want to go home.” Fume claims, “Can you use that dagger to free us.”
“What, you think we help you guys just like that?” Tom refuses them.
“We won’t try anything, we just port once we’re free.” Clump said then looked at Fluttershy, “Please Animal-Lover, I’m sorry for how I acted after our match. Please just let us free ourselves and we promise we won’t bother you guys any further.” Clump pleaded with her.
Fluttershy look at her dagger, thinking about it. “No Fluttershy, we can’t trust them.” Twilight tries to reason with her. “Look, we can free those two after we free Tom.”
But Fluttershy walked toward them, “You promise?” She asked and Clump nodded frantically. With a little hesitation, Fluttershy throws the dagger to Fume. Fume quickly works on cutting the vives on him then does the same for Clump’s vives.
The two were now free and now next to the four Overworld players. “Ok you’re free, now give the dagger back.” Twilight holds out her hand.
Chump nodded and walked close with the dagger in hand, but then both of them smirked and tossed the dagger to a rock, and the blade shattered on impact. Tom and the girls were wide-eyed in shock at action. “Sorry, my hand slipped.” Chump said, mocking.
“You jerks!” Twilight yelled at them.
Tom and Rarity equally glared at them while Fluttershy was still shocked, “How could you?” She asked.
“Like we said, we had enough of this and just going to port back. Good luck.” Fume waves to them as he and Chump pull out their scanners then ported out.
Everyone was left flabbergasted, “Those barbarians!” Rarity cries.
“Oh no, what have I done?” Fluttershy question as she holds her mouth.
“Oh forget those two,” Twilight said, then turned to Tom. “Tom, is it possible for you to reach your scanner?” She asked him.
Tom tries using his free arm to reach his code scanner. “I’m trying,” He does so but, “No good.”
Then from the battle, a figure got thrown right next to them. The figure rose up and it was Opnos. Opnos saw the four looking frightened at him with only Tom tied up and Fluttershy standing next to the white crystal. “Nah of you move and nah of you escape.” He said as he approached them.
Ulmar's lab

Back in his lab, it appears that Ulmar fixed the mirror portal. “Ulmar!” H’earing called out to him as he with Fizzle enter back. “Good, you fix the portal.”
"Yes, and I can see you bring the crystal back.” Ulmar pointed it out then toward Fizzle, “Put the crystal back on its charge central, and this time don’t kick it.” He sturd told him and Fizzle nervously nodded then put the crystal there.
Ulmar moves to the controller and starts pushing some buttons. “Okay, are you sure this thing can bring Kaz and his female friends back here?” H’earing ask while holding all four code scanners.
“Well, not 100% sure.” Ulmar replied.
“What do you mean?”
“Look, even if the portal does open again, there’s no chance they can enter through it. It took me weeks to finally get it to work and I never tested it before this happened.” Ulmar stated.
“And you're telling me this now, why?”
“Well, I want you to report to Chaor I did my best to bring them back and none of this was my fault.” Ulmar quickly explained as he pulled the lever then the conductor rods started to absorb the power from the crystal and the pink energy swirls around the mirror, portal was beginning to open again.
Shadow City, In a different plane of existence

Sunset, Rainbow, Kaz and Garble run out of the alleyway as multiple fire and water attacks are being thrown at them. "I'm getting sick of this alright!" Kaz stated almost out of breath.
“I know, right,” Garble commented, “I just want to port back home already.”
“Well sorry dube, but none of us can port back. And all because of you!” Rainbow shot back at him.
“Shut up and just keep running!” Sunset argues back and moves to avoid a water attack. The attacks were coming from Jijhani as he playfully followed after them.
“That right, don’t let my attacks hit you.” Jijhani playfully said. The group did their best to avoid his attacks and keep away from him. They kept further away from him until they reached the town center and waiting for them was the wolf creature named Eskalier.
Seeing him, the others stop in their tracks next to him and he glares down at them. “Oh no, I thought we lost him.” Rainbow cried out.
Eskalier approached them, “Enough of this, now come with me for questioning.” He opened his claws toward but stopped when he saw Jijhani right behind them. “Jijhani, what are you doing?” He asked him.
“Oh Eskalier, you finally caught up with them. I’m just playing with our guest and if you let me continue?” He asked as the two focus were now on each other then the four.
“No, we need to bring those creatures in for questioning. Where they came, how they got here and if more of them are coming.” Eskalier pointed out.
“Alright, you can ask one of them while I play with the rest.” Jijhani walked closer and about to grab one of them.
But he was stopped by Eskalier who grabbed one of his arms. “No, if you let any of them escape they could come back with stronger forces.”
“You’re too strict for your own good, Eskalier.” Jijhani mocks him.
“And you’re too loose for your own, Jijhani” Eskalier growls back at him.
The two were in the middle of an argument with the four humans worried about what to do next. They try crawling away from the two without them knowing. “Let's give them some space.” Kaz whispered and others nodded.
“But what are we going to do now?” Rainbow asked but then a colorful mirror portal appeared a bit away from them. From the portal, the group could see H’earing and Ulmar waving to them on the other side. “Girls! Kaz! You’re alive!” H’earing shouted in joy.
“H’earing! You and Ulmar open the portal again!” Kaz cheers.
“Yes, now hurry up! I'm not sure how long this opening will last!” Ulmar said to them. The four nodded and rushed toward the portal with Garble trying to shove the others to get there faster.
Both Eskalier and Jijhani stop their argument and notice not only the four were not next to them anymore but them running the colorful portal that appeared. “See, I knew it! They escape!” Eskalier pointed out.
“Not on our watch.” Jijhani said as he and Eskalier ran after them.
Sunset, Rainbow, Kaz and Garble got to the portal then placed their hands on it and when they thought they were home free to everyone's surprise, they couldn’t go through. “What?” Everyone questions as the humans try to push their way in but no luck.
H’earing and Fizzle turn to Ulmar. “Ulmar, why can’t they go in?” H’earing asked him.
Ulmar looks at the controls than at his notes. “Oh no, I was worried about this. Honestly, I was sure the portal wasn't ready to go through yet. When they entered for the first time, there were huge energy spikes the moment they went through. I don’t know how to make it come now or why it did the first time.” Ulmar explained.
“No, we have to get in!” Sunset cries and the four continue pushing themself into the portal. And to make things worse, they could hear some wolf growls with some flames. They turned around to see that Eskalier and Jijhani were on their way toward them.
As Nunk'worn was about to throw the attack at Sarah and the group. Applejack and Pinkie looked at each other then positioned themselves in front of their friends. Everyone who saw this was surprised by this even Queen Illexia. “Pinkie! Applejack! No, get out of the way!” Sarah yells at them.
But they still stood their ground and Nunk'worn continued his attack. “You all did this to me!” He screams.
“Ya’ll wrong, Ah do feel sorry for what’s happenin’ to you but after what you and the other M'arrillians did to the other tribes, you kind of deserve it!” Applejack told him.
“Yeah, you meanies, mind control their friends and ruin their home. And we’re not letting you do the same here.” Pinkie stated trying to puff up her chest.
Nunk'worn did not listen to them but continued his attack, now aiming at Applejack and Pinkie. The others look on in worry but just before the attack could make contact, the two white crystal pieces from Sarah and Pinkie pockets start to glow. Which makes Applejack glow in an orange light and Pinkie in a pink one.
Eskalier and Jijhani were getting closer with the UnderWorld players still trying to get through the portal. Seeing the two Umbrians approaching them with no choice, Sunset held her made shift guitar in a swing position. Kaz, seeing this, asked her. "Sunset, what are you doing?"
"Kaz, getting someplace safe." Sunset said, not looking back at them. "Garble, I don't really care what happens to you." She said, coldly.
"Wait, you seriously don't think you can take them on with that?" Garble asked and Sunset nodded.
"That's crazy, let's just run again!" Kaz said.
"We can't, if they attack the portal it might disappear and we lose our last chance of getting out of here." Sunset told them and placed her hand on the portal. "Just need to hold out until Ulmar can make this work. Rainbow, grab Kaz and get out of here!" She ordered her.
But Rainbow didn't listen and stood next to her. "Like I ever leave you Sunset." She then held her own made shift guitar.
"Rainbow, Sunset don't do this. Those two can easily destroy you both." Kaz pleaded to them.
But the girls stood their ground, “No matter what, we are leaving this place!” Rainbow declares and places her own hand on the portal. Then the white crystal ball back in Ulmar's lab starts to glow a huge white energy, catching the attention of Fizzle and the two UnderWorlders in the room. The white crystal sends the huge energy to the mirror portal which makes the portal on the Umbrian side glow blighter. Then the energy went through Sunset and Rainbow making them glow in red and blue lights.
Opnos stood front Twilight, Fluttershy, Rarity and the tied up Tom then summoned two vives from the ground. And had them pointed at the four, Attacat and the other OverWorlders saw this and tried to stop it but the other Panivians got in the way. “Twilight! While you, Shy and Rarity have the chance! Port out!” Tom tells them.
“But, we can't leave you again!” Twilight said.
“I'll be fine, just go!” He told them again.
Both Fluttershy and Twilight were shaking but Rarity stood her ground. "I refuse, you're a great sapphire Tom darling. We’re not leaving without you.” As she said that, the white crystal ball next to them started to grow with Rarity engulfed in white aura. Looking at this, Fluttershy walks to Rarity and grabs her hand.
"Rarity is right, even if we don't have the best track record, we never leave a friend when they need us." Fluttershy said in determination and her in a yellow aura.
Opnos had his vives launched at them. Twilight saw it, and quickly grabbed Rarity’s other hand while she herself was in a purple aura. "Yeah, cause that’s the magic of friendship!" Then the girl's aura starts glowing blighter.
Then, all seven girls were imbedded in rainbow light from each of the white crystals. The girls start growing pony ears, tails and some of them wings. When the light died down, everyone around them were all shocked seeing the girl's new appearance. Sunset and others are now in pony-ups formed with their powers and ready to fight.
Author's Note
Okay, how many of you guess right that the white crystals would give the Rainbooms their power back?
Twilight comment on her arms is on Luz crying to her weak nerd arms from the first episode of The Owl House.
The daggers Twilight and Fluttershy use were the Battlegear: Bodal's Dagger.
I wanting to use Dainian mugic to heal Pink and the Song of Symmetry was the only one I could find.
I base Raznus's cane on Viktor's from Arcane.
The shaft the others took is the same one Sarah took to get to Vollash and Queen Illexia in Big Time Season 1 Episode 38.
