Chapters Equestria Superhero Girls: Miraculous Meeting
"There," Twilight proclaimed, "all done."
She wiped the sweat from her brow and gazed at her at newest creation.
"Thanks for helping me with my latest project, everyone," she said, turning to her friends and smiling.
"Before we go any further," Midnight interjected, "maybe you could explain just what this thing is that we helped you built?"
"Well," Twilight replied, "even since we had that adventure with time travel, I noticed that we ran into different versions of heroes we know, which confirmed a theory I had about different earths."
"Different earths?" Applejack repeated, "what do you mean, Twi?"
"I'm glad you asked," Twilight answered, her brain beginning to kick into geek mode, "Ever since my Crystal Prep days and now with portals to Equestria we've found, I had long hypothesised that there are an infinite number of different universes, each contain its own planet Earth each earth occupies the same position in space but vibrates at a different frequency."
"And this machine we helped you built is connect to what you said how?" Rainbow Dash asked, the scientific explanation Twilight had given had gone completely over her head.
Twilight sighed, Rainbow Dash's lack of understanding concerning science and maths did slightly annoy her sometimes.
"The point is," she continued, "this machine can tap into different vibrational frequencies and allow us to view different earths across the multiverse."
"Well, what are we wait for?" Sunset said, "fire it up."
"I mean," Twilight replied, "it's a prototype, I haven't worked out all the bugs yet."
"Come on," Miles Morales a.k.a. Ultimate Spiderman encouraged, "what's the worst that could happen?"
"Well," Twilight responded, "it could explode, electrocute someone or it could zap us to another earth with no way back."
"What are the chances of that happening?" Kamala Khan a.k.a. Ms. Marvel asked, joked.
Twilight tried to argue, but she know that, now her friends were interested, she couldn't deter them until they had seen her machine in action.
"Alright," she said, finally, "but at the first sign of trouble, I'm shutting this thing down."
Everyone nodded and Twilight began turning the machine on, after which they began looking through various alternate earths.
These earths included: Earth 22 - an earth where the Justice Force were older and were mentoring the next generation of heroes who are wild and have no regard for the law,
Earth 90214 - an earth a with look of noir novel, stuck in the 1920s–1930s where few superhumans who developed superpowers,
Earth 231991 - an earth where an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog and his friends fight to stop a mad scientist and his robot army from taking over the world,
Earth 202006 - an earth based around Japanese mythology and folklore with the sun god Amaterasu, reincarnated as a white wolf, fighting the forces of darkness,
Earth 1872013 - an earth set in the world of Remnant, where young people train to become warriors (called "Huntsmen" and "Huntresses") to protect their world from monsters called Grimm,
Earth 62002 - an earth where five girls infused with the DNA of endangered animals with special powers to transform into beings called "Mew Mews" fight aliens to defend the earth,
Earth 111986 - an earth where five mystical warriors called the Saints, who fight wearing sacred sets of armour named "Cloths", the designs of which derive from the various constellations, defend the reincarnation of the Greek goddess in her battle against others who want to dominate Earth.
"Amazing," Sunset breathed, as she stared at various earths as Twilight scrolled through one after the other.
"Okay," Twilight said, "I think it's time to turn off the Multiversal Viewer, before we too much strain on its systems."
"Oh, come on, Twilight," Rainbow Dash pleaded, "just one more, please."
"I'm sorry, Rainbow," Twilight replied, firmly "but this is still a prototype, so I don't want to push it too far right now."
"Please, please," Rainbow Dash continued to plead.
But, Twilight remained firm in her decision to turn the Multiversal Viewer off.
Rainbow Dash eventually gave up and Twilight began to proceed to turn the machine off.
Suddenly, the machine began sparking as the power began to overload its systems.
"Everyone get back!" Twilight called, as she tried her best to shut the machine down quickly.
The others all retreated to a safe distance, as safe distance as they could get.
"I've almost got it," Twilight said, "I just need a few more...."
Before Twilight could finish what she was saying, a blast of energy shot from the machine and hit Rarity, Applejack, Ms. Marvel and Ultimate Spiderman, causing them to vanish.
Twilight finally managed to get the machine under control and shut it off.
"Phew," she said, as the machine's readings returned back to zero.
She gazed up from the machines control screen and noticed something was off.
"Rarity, Applejack, Kamala, Miles!" Twilight cried, as soon as she noticed some of her friends were missing.
Everyone stood in stunned silence, as they came to grips with what had just happened.
Equestria Superhero Girls: Miraculous Meeting
In a secret room, inside of the Agreste mansion, Gabriel Agreste a.k.a. Hawkmoth looked out at the city as a large window, with a butterfly design opened, causing butterflies to fly everywhere.
All the butterflies were how Hawkmoth planned to acquire Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses.
By infusing a butterfly with dark energy, Hawkmoth could turn it into an Akuma, after which its goal was to possess an important object of a person who felt strong negative emotions, forming a telepathic connection between the person and Hawkmoth and transforming the person into a supervillain.
Hawkmoth could sense negative emotions and right now he sensed negative emotions coming from the city.
"Negativity," Hawkmoth smiled, "the sweet nectar of life that draws my Akuma in."
One of the butterflies landed in the palm of his hand, it was pure white, Hawkmoth cupped his hands around the butterfly infusing it was negative purple energy, after which the butterfly was now black with translucent purple highlights.
"Fly away my little Akuma," Hawkmoth laughed, as the butterfly exited the room through the window, "find that negativity and evilize it."
Elsewhere.
Rarity, Applejack, Kamala and Miles walked through the streets of Paris, which looked exactly like the Paris from their world.
After entering an internet café, they researched this world and made some interesting discoveries.
This earth had familiar places and landmarks such as Eiffel Tower and Empire State Building, but no Central City or Genosha.
They also learned that this world did have superheroes like: Majestia, Victory, Knightowl, Uncanny Valley, Sparrow and Doorman, among others around the world.
Some of the heroes seem familiar and similar in some way to the heroes from their earth like: Majestia being similar to Superman and Wonder Woman or Knightowl being similar to Batman.
But none of them had powers that could help them return to their earth and there was no S.T.A.R. Labs or Stark Industries.
None of the heroes on this earth had power that came close to someone like: Dr. Strange or Dr. Fate or the like.
This world also didn't have mutants, Inhumans or people like them.
Nobody on this earth who could help them get back home.
"Come on, guys," Kamala said, "we should try to remain optimistic."
"Right," Applejack nodded, "our friends will find a way to rescue us, I know they will."
"And I suggest," added Rarity, "since we're going to be here indefinitely, we need to blend in and act like we come from here."
"How do we that?" Miles asked.
"Well, first thing's first," Rarity answered, "we'll need a change of clothes and, from what I've remember from detective novels, we need to come up with backstories that sound believable."
"That won't be a problem," Kamala replied, "my powers can take care of my appearance and, as a fanfic writer, I'm good at thinking up names and backstories."
"Alright, then," Rarity said, "that just leaves me, Applejack and Miles, we just need to find a clothing store."
Hours later, the four emerged from a clothing store in their new looks.
"Okay," Rarity, now going by Plainity, stated, "now that we have our new looks we need to rehearse our backstories, that is the key to truly blending in."
She cleared her throat, "I'm Plainity and I love bland old normal stuff, no frills for me."
"Right," Kamala nodded, "I'm Sana Wilson, I am deeply interested in the paranormal and science fiction."
"Excellent," Rarity smiled, "you next Miles."
"Okay," Miles replied, "I'm Brian Pichelli, just your friendly neighbourhood sports enthusiast."
"And lastly," Rarity concluded, "that leave Applejack."
"Do I have to?" Applejack asked, she felt a little silly acting like someone else.
The others nodded.
"Alright," Applejack sighed, "I'm Jacqueline Apple, I like working hard and helping anyone in need."
"Fantastic," Rarity sang, "except Applejack, your identity could use some work."
"Well, sorry," Applejack replied, "I'm not good at acting and coming up with characters like you."
"I suppose it will have to do," Rarity responded.
"So, what's the next move?" Kamala asked, as they began to walking away from the clothes shop.
"We should find a place where we can start blending in," Rarity continued, "integrate ourselves into....."
Rarity was cut off as someone bumped into her.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," Rarity said, "I wasn't looking where I was going."
"You should pay more attention to surroundings," the person, a girl, replied.
"Please, accept my apology," Rarity smiled, "my names Plainity and these are my friends, Sana, Brian and Jacqueline."
"I'm Kagami Tsurugi," the girl replied, "apology accepted, now if you'll excuse me I'm late for school."
With that, Kagami walked past the four and out of sight.
"I think we should check out the school," Rarity said, once Kagami was out of earshot, "what better way to blend in than by attending school."
"Sounds like a plan," Kamala replied.
The four started walking in the direction that Kagami had disappeared in.
Later.
"Alright," Rarity said, "this is it."
The four stood outside the front doors of Françoise Dupont Middle School.
"Stick to your cover names and remember your backstories," she continued, "act like you come from here, don't let slip that we have powers or that we are from another earth."
Applejack and the others nodded.
Without another word, the four entered the school.
They walked through the hall, until they were stopped by someone.
"Excuse me," a girl asked, "but are you four lost?"
"Not at all," Kamala said, "we totally know our way around this school."
"Alright," Marinette replied, slowly "I don't think I've never seen you around here before."
The four exchanged worried looks with each other.
"That is because..." Rarity replied, thinking fast, "we transferred from Timely Atlas middle school in America."
"Hmmm," the girl said, "I've never heard of that school."
"It's a very small school," Miles stated, "not very well known."
"Alright, then," the girl responded, "I'm Marinette, Marinette Dupain-Cheng."
"Pleased to meet you," Applejack answered, "I'm Jacqueline Apple, these are my friends Sana Wilson, Brian Pichelli and Plainity."
"It's nice to meet you four," Marinette replied, "follow me I'll take you to class."
"Excellent," Rarity smiled.
They followed Marinette to her class room and introduced themselves to Marinette's classmates and their teacher, Caline Bustler.
The teacher believed their story about being American transfer students and allowed the four to join the class.
They also had unfortunate pleasure of meeting and being introduced to Chloé Bourgeois and her sidekick, Sabrina Raincomprix.
"Who are these four?!" she demanded, "my father would have told me if we were receiving any transfers or the like, the nerve!"
On a more positive note, they made fast friends with the rest of the class and they, in turn, were very welcoming and accepting.
But apart from that, the day processed normally making Rarity and the others think of CHS and everyone back on their earth, which made them feel a little homesick.
They were about to reach the afternoon period, until an shockwave hit the school.
"What's going on?" Applejack asked.
"It's an Akuma attack," Nino replied, as everyone began to evacuate the school.
"What's an Akuma?" Rarity asked.
"Shouldn't we do something?" Kamala asked.
"Ha!" Chloé laughed, "what can the four of you possible be against a supervillain?"
"Yeah," Sabrina added, "the only ones who can help are Ladybug and Cat Noir."
"Ladybug and Cat Noir?" Miles repeated, he and the others had seen the two names when they were searching the internet on the world and its history.
Chloé laughed at Miles confusion, "you four haven't heard of Ladybug and Cat Noir? Have you been living in a cave for the last few years?"
"Yeah," Sabrina smiled, "you guys must be stupid if you don't know who Ladybug and Cat Noir are."
"Shut up, Sabrina," Chloé barked.
Sabrina fell silent as Chloé continued to belittle Rarity and the others. As she carried on, Applejack noticed Marinette slipping out of the classroom.
Deciding to follow her, the four left the classroom, to Chloé's irritation, as she hadn't finished ridiculing them.
They followed Marinette to the library on third floor.
"What would Marinette need to go to the library for?" Kamala asked.
"How should I know," Rarity replied.
They quietly opened the door ajar and peaked in.
They could see Marinette and hear her talking to someone they couldn't see.
"Looks like Hawkmoth's at again, Tikki," she said, "it's time to transform."
"Right," a small voice replied.
"Tikki," Marinette proclaimed, "Spots On!"
There was a flash and before their eyes, Marinette transformed into the superhero Ladybug.
Once the transformation was complete, Ladybug produced a yo-yo, her signature weapon, throw it out the window and swing off into the city.
"We have to follow her," Rarity said.
"What about laying low and keeping a low profile?" Kamala asked.
"I think we should leave it to Ladybug and Cat Noir," Applejack interjected, "this is their world and their city."
"And we are superheroes too," Rarity insisted, "we still have a duty, as Champions, to protect the innocent no matter the world or the situation."
"Rarity's right," Miles nodded, "even if this isn't our earth we need to do what we can."
"Alright," Applejack said, eventually, "I guess I can't stop you guys, let's do it."
Now that they were all in agreement, the four donned their superhero costumes and set off after Ladybug.
Equestria Superhero Girls: Miraculous Meeting
Back in Twilight's house, many earths away.
Twilight had managed to repaired the Multiversal Viewer and was now trying to figure out where it had sent their four friends.
"You think you can find them, Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Possibly," Twilight replied, as she pouring over the screens depicting different earths.
"Possibly?" Rainbow Dash repeated, "what do you mean?!"
Everyone else looked at Twilight with a look of surprise and concern.
"It may surprise you, Rainbow," Twilight answered, "but the Multiverse is a concept about which we know frighteningly little."
"But you're the smart one," Rainbow Dash retorted, "you should be able to figure this out."
"It's not that simple," Twilight cried, "this is like trying to solve a Rubik's cube inside of an escape room inside of a Sudoku."
"Girls! Stop!" Fluttershy said, before an argument could break out, "now, is this how friends talk to each other?"
Rainbow Dash and Twilight looked embarrassingly at each other.
"Sorry," Twilight said.
"Yeah," Rainbow Dash conceded, "sorry."
"We need to focus," Sunset interjected, "we can't afford to blame each other, we need to find our friends and bring them back to us, safe and sound."
"Right," Twilight nodded.
She continued pouring over the Multiversal Viewer screens, Twilight was going find her friends and bring them home no matter what.
Meanwhile, back on Earth 12015, Paris.
Ladybug swung through the streets of Paris, an Akuma attack meant only one thing, a poor innocent person had been akumatized into a supervillain by Hawkmoth.
That meant that it was up to her and Cat Noir to stop the villain, find the Akuma and de-evilize it.
"I hope you're on your way, Cat Noir," she thought.
The four heroes were swinging, flying and running through the streets following in the direction Ladybug had gone.
"Are you sure we're going the right way?" Kamala asked.
Rarity was saved from replying by people screaming and running from something.
"Trust me," Rarity said, "we're going the right way."
Ladybug and Cat Noir were doing their best against the supervillain that Hawkmoth had created with his Akuma.
The villain was a construction worker, named Jackson Hammer, who had been akumatized into the villain Destructinator.
The powers that the Akuma had given the power to generate powerful earthquakes with his jackhammer like arms.
The Akuma was inside his yellow hardhat, which had transformed into a battle helmet.
"I hope you have a plan, m'lady," Cat Noir said, as he used his signature weapon, a staff, to block the villain's attacks and attack at the same time.
Ladybug thought about using her power of creation, it usually created something that could help her to defeat the villain.
Suddenly, two shots flew out of nowhere, hitting Destructinator and gluing him to the ground.
"Nice shot," Cat Noir declared.
"It wasn't me," Ladybug replied.
"Well then who?" Cat Noir asked, confused.
Shortly after, four figures entered the area, two of them wore colourful costumes while the other two were covered in green and indigo light.
"You guys OK?" the indigo figure asked, as the other three watched the villain in case he broke loose.
"Yeah," Ladybug answered.
"Who are you guys?" Cat Noir asked, "you trying to steal me and Ladybug's spotlight?"
"And what are those rings?" Ladybug followed, "Are you a Miraculous user?"
"What's a Miraculous?" the indigo figure asked.
Ladybug was about to answer, but stopped as Destructinator finally broke free and charged at the heroes.
A figure wearing a costume coloured red, blue and gold, managed to restrain him before he had a chance to attack, by wrapping her arms around him keeping him from going any further.
"Is now really the time for chatting?" the green figure interrupted, "can we focus, please."
The red, blue and gold figure, who was holding Destructinator back, began to struggle to keep the villain restrained.
"Look out," she groaned, "I'm losing him."
Seconds later, Destructinator broke free from the figure's grasp.
A fourth figure, this one wearing a red and black costume with a spider on his chest, jumped onto Destructinator's back and blinded him with a sticky substance, causing the villain to flail about.
"Who...?" Cat Noir said, "what are these guys?"
"I don't know," Ladybug said, "but we've got to help them"
"Lucky Charm!" she declared.
Ladybug activated her power of creation, creating a magnet.
After getting the item, Ladybug used her brain to figure out what she was suppose to do to defeat Destructinator.
She instructed the Indigo and Green figures to restrain Destructinator and the blue, red and gold hero along with the red and black spider hero to immobilise him.
Applejack and the others recognised what Labybug was trying to do and put her plan into action.
Once Destructinator was restrained and immobilised, Ladybug used the magnet to pull the helmet off the villain's head.
After which, she tossed the helmet to Cat Noir who used his power of destruction, an attack called Cataclysm, to destroy the helmet realising the Akuma inside.
"No more evil doing for you, little Akuma," Ladybug said, as the Akuma tried to fly away, "time to de-evilize!"
Using her yo-yo, Ladybug captured the Akuma, purging it of Hawkmoth's negative energy, returning it to its pure white form.
"Bye bye, little butterfly," Ladybug smiled, as she realised the Akuma, letting it fly away.
"That was amazing," the Indigo figure breathed.
"How did you do that?" the blue, red and gold hero asked, "are you magical or something? Are you an alien? Tell me EVERYTHING!"
"We can talk powers later," the green figure interrupted, "right now, we need to focus on cleaning up all the mess Destructinator caused."
"I'll handle that," Ladybug smiled.
She tossed the magnet into the air, "Miraculous Ladybug!" she declared.
The magnet transformed into a swarm of magic ladybugs, that instantly fixed all the damage that Destructinator had caused, healing those hurt in his rampage and repairing Jack Hammer's destroyed construction helmet.
"There we go," Ladybug stated.
The four unknown heroes looked on dumbstruck at what they had just seen.
Ladybug then turned to Jack Hammer.
"I know people seem annoyed by construction," she said, "and I know how hard it can be to ignore the insults and angry looks, but deep down they truly appreciate the work you do."
Jack thought about what Ladybug had said, "Thanks, Ladybug" he said, a smile returning to his face.
After their victory fistbump, Ladybug and Cat Noir turned to the four heroes.
"You two are awesome," the blue, red and gold hero said, "those are some impressive powers you have."
"Thank you," Cat Noir replied, "you four have some impressive moves and powers yourselves."
"More to the point," Ladybug insisted, "who are you and where did you come from?"
"We were just passing through," the indigo figure replied.
"Really?" Ladybug asked, "you just happened to be in the area? I've never seen anyone with powers or costumes like yours in my life."
"Well," the red and black spider hero responded, "we're fairly new superheroes I'm...Spider-boy, she's....Stretch pants, she's...Indigo Invader and she's...Green Guardian."
Both Ladybug and Cat Noir exchanged glances, both of them not sure what to think.
They were stopped from continuing their conversation, by Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses signalling that were about to run out of energy and transform back to their civilian identities.
"We'll have to continue this conversation another time," Ladybug said.
Ladybug and Cat Noir quickly vacated the scene, leaving Rarity and the others alone.
"Nice job with the names, Miles," Kamala said, "stretch pants? Really!?"
"Thats the only thing I could think of," Miles replied, "I panicked."
Meanwhile.
"Blast you, Ladybug and Cat Noir!" Hawkmoth fumed, "I will get your Miraculouses one day!"
"but first," he continued, "I must find out who these four new heroes are, yes, these interlopers will know the fury of Hawkmoth!"
Back with the Applejack and the others.
The four were about to leave the area when suddenly, albeit briefly, all four of their bodies turned incorporeal and glitchy before returning to normal.
"What the hay was that?" Applejack said.
Equestria Superhero Girls: Miraculous Meeting
Back in Twilight's house, many earths away.
"Arr," Twilight groaned, "another dead end."
She had linked her and the other girls geodes into the Multiversal Viewer to see if she could create some sort of rubberband to snap their four friends back to where they had been when they were taken from their earth.
But the amount of power had been insufficient and as a result, the attempt had failed.
"We need to try again," Rainbow Dash said, "we were so close."
"We're going to need something stronger than our geodes," Twilight replied, "and we're going to need a stronger power source, 100% stronger."
After thinking for a bit, Twilight picked up her phone.
"What are you doing?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Calling in some extra help," Twilight answered.
Back on Earth 12015, Paris.
The four, now back in their civilian attire, walked along the streets, still confused about what had just happened to them.
"What was that?" Rarity said, "it felt like the feeling I felt when we arrived here."
"What does that mean?" Miles asked.
"Maybe our friends found a way to retrieve us," Kamala suggested.
"Well," Applejack interjected, "whatever that was, we won't figure it found on an empty stomach."
The four began looking around for somewhere to eat, finally coming across Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie.
"That looks like a good place to grab a bite," Rarity declared.
"It smells good too," Kamala smiled.
With that, the four entered the shop, where they were greeted by the owners, Tom Dupain and Sabine Cheng.
The two were very kind, cheerful and well-meaning.
The four picked out what they wanted and paid for it.
While they were eating, Rarity asked Tom and Sabine if they were related to Marinette by any chance.
The two laughed, revealing that they were Marinette parents and, in turn, asking how they know their daughter.
Applejack explained that they were in the same class as Marinette, also explaining their cover story about being transfer students.
From upstairs, on the bakery's top floor, Marinette and her Kwami named Tiki listened to her parents talk with the four new students she had met earlier that day.
"They seem nice," Tiki said, "why are you eavesdropping on them?"
"Theres something off about them," Marinette replied, "I looked up the school they said they transferred from and it doesn't exist."
"What does that mean?" Tiki gasped.
"It means that they are lying about who they are," Marinette responded, "and I'm going to find out the truth."
Just then, Marinette heard her mum call up that, some of her school friends were here to see her.
Marinette told Tiki to hide, as no one was allowed to know about the existence of the Kwamis and that Marinette and Ladybug were one and the same.
Once her Kwami was hidden, Marinette allowed the four to enter her room.
"Oh my stars," Plainity remarked, "this is a very nice room you have."
"Pretty roomy," Sana said, gazing around.
Marinette noticed that two of them were wearing green and indigo rings like two of the heroes she had met as Ladybug.
"Thanks," she replied.
"You're lucky," Brian said, "having bakers for parents."
Plainity then noticed the sewing machine on Marinette's desk in a corner of the room.
"Would you be into fashion, by any chance?" she inquired.
"Yes, I am," Marinette replied, "I really like fashion and I hope to one day become a famous fashion designer."
Before Plainity could continue, Jacqueline gestured at the photos of Adrien she had adorning the walls of her room.
She and the others had seen Adrien at the school but didn't really get much time to talk to him or get to know him and were starting to notice a similarities between Adrien and Cat Noir.
"Someone you know?" she asked.
"Thats Adrien Agreste," Marinette replied, "he's one of my best friends, he's the son of Gabriel Agreste, the famous fashion designer."
That was another piece of evidence that made Marinette more suspicious of the four 'transfer students' the Agreste fashion line was well known all over the world, yet these four had never heard of the Agreste name.
"Thats enough about me and my friends," she continued, "tell me about yourselves, like where you two got those pretty rings."
"We got them from....arrr," Jacqueline answered, before being nudged by Plainity, "Japan," she said, finally.
Marinette looked at both Plainity and Jacqueline suspiciously,
"Alright," Marinette said, "and about your school, whats it like?"
"Its a very small and prestigious school that only takes the best of the best," Brian replied.
"We have all sorts of subjects," Sana interjected, "archery, team-building and and...."
"Sounds like a fun school," Marinette responded, "so why is there no information about your 'school' online?"
For a second, the four looked shocked but quickly recovered.
"You looked it up?" Plainity asked, weakly.
"Of course I did," Marinette continued, "you think four transfer students appear at my school wouldn't raise some suspicion?"
Brian was about to answer, but suddenly the four turned glitchy and incorporeal, it lasted for second, before they returned to normal.
"It happened again," Sana uttered.
"What was that?!" Marinette exclaimed, "what are you?!"
The four exchanged looks with each other.
"Okay," Jacqueline said, "you've got us, I think we owe you an explanation."
Back in Twilight's house.
Twilight and the rest looked over the wreckage of the Multiversal Viewer.
The group had tried using the machine again, connecting their ally Wiccan to it with the idea of supercharging his powers with the machine and had almost succeed, only this time, the strain on Wiccan and the machine had been too great.
They had managed to disconnect Wiccan from the machine, so he was unharmed, but as for the Multiversal Viewer the result was the machine's destruction.
"What are we gonna do now?" Rainbow Dash said, "how are we suppose to get them back now?"
Twilight didn't answer, in truth, she had no idea what to do next.
She was about to say something, when a portal opened and out stepped Wong, the assistant to the Sorcerer Supreme, Dr. Stephan Strange.
"The Sentinels of Magic would like to see you," he stated.
Equestria Superhero Girls: Miraculous Meeting
Back on Earth 12015, Marinette's room.
Rarity, Applejack, Kamala and Miles had explained to Marinette about how they were from another earth and had been transported to this earth, by accident.
Marinette had been confused by the concept of multiple earths and the four had given an abridged version of the explanation Twilight had given, different earths separated by different vibrational frequencies.
The four had also revealed their real names and powers to Marinette and had asked her to keep their secret and not reveal that they were from another earth.
After they were done explaining, Marinette sat in silence.
"We understand if you don't believe us," Miles said, "we probably sound like crazy people, but it's the truth."
After a few minutes, Marinette finally spoke.
"Honestly," she replied, "what you've just told me sounds unbelievable, but that would explain why you've never heard of things that are commonplace around here."
"Wow," Kamala remarked, "you're taking this a lot better than we thought you would."
"Well," Marinette smiled, "this isn't the first time something strange has happened to me."
Rarity, Applejack, Kamala and Miles looked confused.
Marinette felt she could trust the four with her most private secret, since they had trusted her with revealing their identities and origins to her.
"There's someone I'd like you to meet," she said.
As if on cue, Tikki came out of hiding, she had been listening to the whole conversation.
The Kwami looked reluctant and nervous, she wasn't comfortable with Marinette decision.
"It's alright, Tikki," Marinette said, with a reassuring smile, "we can trust them."
"OK," Tikki replied.
Rarity and the others stood in silence. Even after all the things they had seen on their earth, the Kwami was like nothing they had witnessed before.
"I'm Tikki," the Kwami said, "please to meet you."
Meanwhile, many earths away.
Twilight and the others were now in Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum on 177A Bleecker Street.
Wong had brought them to the Sanctum because the group known as The Sentinels of Magic, a team of various magic users, tasked with protecting their reality from various magical and multiversal threats, wanted to see them.
The teens had been told by Wong to wait until they were called.
After a while, Wong reappeared.
"The Sentinels of Magic will see you now," he said.
Twilight and the others followed Wong into one of the rooms of the Sanctum.
Before them were The Sentinels of Magic, some of the most powerful magic users on their earth.
The team usually had seven members , but only six of the members were present: Dr. Strange, Dr. Fate, Daimon Hellstrom, Zatanna, Dr. Voodoo and Tempest.
The seven were sat in chairs high above them, looking down on Twilight and the rest.
Dr. Fate was the first to speak, "I trust you all know why you have been called?" he asked.
Twilight knew why, but nevertheless she was determined to plead her case.
"We do," she responded.
"Then you should understand," Dr. Strange said, "the severe implications of your actions."
"We do," Twilight mumbled.
"You would be wise to cooperate," Daimon Hellstrom a.k.a. Hellstorm remarked, "otherwise, your punishment could be worse than what we usually do."
"Which is?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"A pat on the back," Zatanna replied.
"And a slap on the wrist," Dr. Voodoo finished.
Before they could continue, Twilight spoke up.
"Wait," she said, "allow me to explain."
"We're listening," Garth a.k.a. Tempest, formerly known as Aqualad, uttered.
Tempest had started his superhero career as the teen sidekick to Aquaman, Aqualad, and would later go onto found the first iteration of the Teen Titans alongside Robin, Kid Flash (Wally West), Speedy and Woman Girl.
Twilight explained what had happened and their attempts to retrieve their friends, pleading for the Sentinels to retrieve Applejack, Rarity, Miles and Kamala using their magic.
The Sentinels listened to her story and once it was over talked privately amongst themselves.
"After much discussion," Dr. Fate stated, "we have decided not to help you, you must stop trying to recover your friends."
"WHAT!" Twilight and the others collectively responded.
"Why?" Rainbow Dash demanded, "you guys are suppose to be heroes!"
"You are asking us to break down the barrier between worlds," Dr. Strange replied, "after what you did we would rather not push the dimensional walls any further."
"What do you mean?" Fluttershy asked.
"I think they deserve an explanation," Zatanna interjected, Tempest nodding in agreement.
"Very well," Hellstorm sighed.
He nodded to Dr. Fate, who began to explain that when Rarity, Applejack, Kamala and Miles were transported away they had weaken the fabric of their reality, like pebbles being thrown through a window, cracking the window. If the Sentinels were to use their magic to retrieve them, it would be like a boulder making the cracks in reality bigger and crack the world around it. The entire surface of their dimension would splinter, allowing all manner of things to bleed through, into their world, and the result would be that the multiverse and by extension reality itself, would crumble and descend into chaos. This could lead to an incursion, an event where reality is confused and destabilised, resulting in the boundaries between earths eroding.
"The earths could collide, destroying one or both earths in the process, and as a Lord of Order," Dr. Fate concluded, "I cannot use my powers to upset the multiversal balance."
Twilight tried to argue, but her arguments and pleas all fell on deaf ears.
The Sentinels weren't budging on their decision.
Twilight and her friends were about to give up, when Wong interrupted to deliver a message from Madame Xanadu, the seventh member of the Sentinels.
The message made its way through all the Sentinel's hands, each one looking at it and passing it to each other.
The message simply said, 'help them.'
"It seems," Dr. Strange said, "that we can help you."
"Really?" Fluttershy replied, "I thought you said that you couldn't upset the multiversal balance."
"There are times," Zatanna smiled, "when even unbreakable rules can be bent."
Equestria Superhero Girls: Miraculous Meeting
Back on Earth 12015, the mansion of Gabriel Agreste.
Gabriel Agreste paced back and forth in his office, pondering in his mind the question of who were the four new heroes that had helped Ladybug and Cat Noir thwarted his latest Akuma attack, preventing him from acquiring their Miraculouses.
Then suddenly an idea came to him: what if he could akumatize one of the heroes and make them get the Miraculouses for him?
A smile spread across Gabriel's face, a plan forming in his head.
Meanwhile.
Adrien Agreste, sat in his room thinking about the new heroes that had appeared in Paris.
His thoughts were interrupted by his Kwami, Plagg, munching away on cheese.
"Dare I ask what you're thinking about?" he asked.
"Sorry, Plagg," Adrien replied, "it's just so wired that four heroes just happened to show up when me and Ladybug were having a hard time."
"Maybe they were just passing through," Plagg said, "no big deal."
"Are you sure there aren't any Miraculous or Kwamis that can grant powers like that?" Adrien asked.
He described the powers he had seen the four heroes demonstrate: creating things out of light, stretching and morphing, shooting webs and sticking to walls
"Nope," Plagg answered, afterwards "only the the Ladybug Miraculous can create things but apart from that, no Kwami has the power to stretch, morph, shoot webs or stick to walls."
Adrien was left even more befuddled about the identities of the four mysterious heroes.
Back with the Sentinels of Magic.
"Before we can actually make the preparations for the spell," Dr. Strange explained, "we require a piece of your friends, to make the retrieval go more smoothly."
"That won't be a problem," Twilight replied.
She nodded to Rainbow Dash, with her speed gathering the needed pieces for the spell would be no problem at all.
Back on Earth 12015, Marinette's room.
Tikki had just finished explaining about the Miraculous and what the Kwamis were.
"Wow," Kamala breathed, "that is so amazing, how many Kwamis are there?"
"There are nineteen of us," Tikki replied, "each one of us embodies a different aspect and provides a different power and it's up to the guardian of the Miraculouse box to keep us safe and out of evil hands."
Rarity and the others all looked confused and intrigued.
Tikki explained all about the Order of Guardians, of which the current guardian, Master Fu, was a part of, and that their mission was to keep the Miraculouses and the Kwamis safe and make sure that they were given to those they deemed worthy of their power.
She then went on to list all the powers that each Kwami granted their wielder/owner: Creation, Destruction, Akumatization, Protection, Illusion, Subjection, Amokization, Multitude, Resistance, Clout, Time and Space travel, Elemental Transformation, Second Chance, Teleportation, Genesis, Uproar, Sublimation, Fatch and Gift.
"Wait a minute," Rarity said, "if one of Kwami's powers is Akumatization then that would mean that Hawkmoth is a...."
"A Miraculous user," Tikki finished, "yes, Nooroo, the Butterfly Miraculous and the Kwami of Akumatization, is Hawkmoth's prisoner and Duusu, the Peacock Miraculous and the Kwami of Amokization, is missing too and what if she's in danger?"
"How horrible," Miles responded, "I know what it's like to be separated from your family."
Before Tikki could ask, Applejack interrupted, "Listen, it was great meeting you, but we gotta get going," she said.
The four began to leave, but Marinette stopped them.
"You could sleep here," she suggested, "until your friends rescue you, at least."
"Thats very kind," Rarity replied, "we wouldn't want to be a burden to you or your parents."
"It's no trouble," Marinette smiled, "it's the least I can do, since, I'm guessing, you don't really have a place to stay, right?"
"Well, no," Kamala said, "we don't."
"Besides," Marinette continued, with a cheeky smile, "you all know my secret, so I need to keep an eye on you."
"You have our word," Applejack said, "our lips are sealed, Pinkie Promise, cross our hearts and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in our eyes."
"Huh?" Marinette responded, confused, with Tikki sharing her confused expression.
The four laughed and explained that a Pinkie Promise was special promise between them and their friends back home.
Back with the Sentinels of Magic.
Rainbow Dash had gathered the necessary pieces of their four missing friends: a strand of Rarity, Applejack and Kamala's hair and one of Mile's spare webshooters.
"Now that we have the essential pieces," Dr. Fate proclaimed, "we can start preparing the spell in question."
The six magic users began placing the four items in a cross shape while drawing a mystical pentagram around the cross.
Twilight and the others watched as the Sentinels of Magic made the preparations for the spell.
Everything was carefully worked out, measured and implemented.
"This might take a while," Dr. Voodoo stated, "I suggest you make yourselves comfortable while you wait, Wong will let you know when it is time."
Back on Earth 12015, Marinette's room.
Marinette had informed her parents about the new transfer students having nowhere to stay and had asked if they could stay at their house, for the time being.
Tom and Sabine had no problem at all, happy that their daughter had made some new friends.
The four were now getting ready for bed, the day had been crazy what had started as a normal day for them had ended with them being transported and, potentially, being stranded on another earth.
"AJ," Rarity said, "do you think we're ever going to get back home?"
"Of course," Applejack replied, "I know that our friends are working their butts off trying to rescue us."
The reassurance from her friend made Rarity feel a little better, but the feeling that being rescued was slowly becoming less and less likely was still in the back of her mind.
Rarity knew she had to remain strong, but deep down she could feel the negative thoughts seeping into her mind.
For the time being, Rarity ignored the negative thoughts and concentrated on Applejack's words of encouragement.
She found that she felt a lot more safe and relaxed when she was around the apple farmer.
She and Applejack had been friends since they were in kindergarten and had always looked out for each other.
When Applejack's parents died, Rarity had been there to help her friend through her grief.
Likewise, Applejack had always had feelings for Rarity, but she didn't know how to tell her.
"You guys doing okay?" the two of them were shaken from their thoughts as Marinette entered the room.
"We're doing just dandy," Applejack smiled, "thanks again, for letting us stay at your house."
"Like I said," Marinette replied, "it's the least I can do, that's what friends do."
"That's just the kind of person Marinette is," Tikki added, "she'll always help anyone, no matter who they are or where they are from."
"Come on, Tikki," Marinette smiled, "I don't need my ego inflated."
"But it's true," the Kwami responded, "you always make it your mission to look out for your friends and others."
"If you don't mind me asking," Marinette said, changing the subject, "what is your earth like?"
"It's kinda like yours," Kamala answered, "we have superheroes and magic on our earth, but no Miraculouses or Kwamis exist on our earth."
"No Miraculouses or Kwamis?" Tikki repeated, "that's weird."
"Sounds like your earth is peaceful," Marinette smiled, "like a paradise."
"We also have supervillains," Applejack added, "so not much of a paradise as you might think."
"But your world has heroes like you to keep it safe," Marinette replied, "sounds like a paradise to me."
The conversation continued with the four telling Marinette and Tikki about some of the different heroes of their earth,
Both were enraptured by some of the heroes like: Superman, Iron man, Captain Marvel (Billy Batson) and Captain America.
Eventually, Marinette suggested that everyone should get some sleep.
Equestria Superhero Girls: Miraculous Meeting
The next morning the four and Marinette walked to school, the sun shone and the sky was blue.
Miles, Kamala and Applejack chatted with Marinette while they walked.
Rarity walked slightly behind the group, the negative thoughts from the previous night still refusing to remain silent.
"Were their friends really trying to save them? or had they given up and moved on? Had they replaced them with new friends?"
Rarity's mind also drifted to the possibility that she and the others could be stuck on this earth forever, "what would happen to her house and boutique? Who would look after her sister, Sweetie Belle and her cat, Opalescence? How would her parents react to her disappearance?"
All those questions buzzed around inside Rarity's mind, all throughout the day Rarity couldn't stop thinking about the burning questions.
Applejack and the others asked her if she was okay, Rarity reassured them she was fine, but really she was trying not to go mad with the questions swarming in her mind.
Applejack, who could spot when someone was lying, knew that something was bothering her friend.
Even without Pinkie Pie, she could tell that the smile on Rarity's face was fake.
Applejack knew she had to confront her friend about what was bothering her.
Elsewhere.
"Well, well, well," Gabriel Agreste proclaimed, as the window in his secret room opened, the butterflys scattering everywhere, "it seems someone's mind is swimming with negative thoughts, the perfect bait for my Akumas."
As if on cue, Nooroo, the Kwami of Akumatization appeared, Gabriel kept the Kwami's Miraculous on his person at all times, hidden underneath his tie.
"It is time, Nooroo," Gabriel smiled, "Dark Wings Rise!"
With that, Gabriel Agreste, once again, transformed into Hawkmoth.
Like before, Hawkmoth took one of the pure white butterflies and transformed it into an Akuma.
"Fly away my little Akuma," Hawkmoth declared, as the butterfly exited the room through the open skylight, "draw out those negative thoughts and create a villain that can help get Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous."
Back at Françoise Dupont Middle School.
Rarity sat alone, the dark thoughts from the beginning of the day still continuing to haunt her.
The thoughts were threatening to drive her mad when someone approached her.
That someone was Lila Rossi, a student in Marinette's class and known attention seeker, lier and manipulator. She had been in the classroom when Rarity and her friends had arrived and viewed them as opposition for popularity in the school. She had noticed Rarity troubled look and unsuccessful attempts to hide it and she view it as the perfect opportunity to manipulate her.
"You OK?" she asked, "you seemed like something's bothering you."
"Thank you for your concern," Rarity replied, "I'm just feeling a little homesick."
"I can't imagine what you're going through," Lila said, putting on a fake sympathetic smile, "being away from your family and friends."
"Like you wouldn't believe," Rarity whispered.
"I mean," Lila continued, "who's to say that your friends and family back home haven't already forgotten you and moved on."
The dark thoughts started to rise in Rarity's mind again, as Lila kept on talking.
"I mean they might have already replaced you with a new friend, a better friend," she carried on.
Finally, the dark thoughts refused to stay silent and they screamed in Rarity's head, so loud that she couldn't hear the rest of what Lila was saying.
With tears in her eyes, Rarity ran off wanting to find a different place to be alone.
Lila watched as Rarity ran off, a satisfied smile on her face.
Once Rarity had found another spot, she sat down and trying her best to hold back her tears.
It was then that the Akuma, guided by her negative emotions, found her.
The Akuma phased into Rarity's three diamond hairclip, creating a telepathic link between her and Hawkmoth.
A butterfly-shaped light mask appeared on Rarity's face, her eyes darken to a dark blood red and Hawkmoth's voice was heard in her head.
"Black Diamond," he said, "I am Hawkmoth, it has come to my attention that your friends have abandoned you and I can give you the power to make them pay and let the world share in your pain and sadness, but I can only let you have the power if you bring me Ladybug and Cat Noir Miraculous."
"So be it," Rarity answered, "my friends and the world need to learn and feel what happens when you discard a friend so carelessly."
Having accepted Hawkmoth's deal, dark purple ether flowed from Rarity's hairclip, covering her entire body.
As quickly as it appeared, the dark purple ether dissipated revealing Rarity's new form, the Akumatized villain Black Diamond.
Equestria Superhero Girls: Miraculous Meeting
Applejack, Kamala and Miles had been looking for Rarity for a while, but so far had not managed to find her.
"I hope we find Rarity," Applejack said, "something was definitely bothering her."
"Where else could she go?" Kamala asked, "we've looked almost everywhere."
"We have to keep looking," Miles stated, "no friend or teammate gets left behind."
"Right," Applejack and Kamala nodded.
The three were about to resume their search, when something caught their attention:
The entire city of Paris being sealed in a dome made of diamond.
"What in tarnation?!" Applejack exclaimed.
"Must be another Akuma attack," Kamala said.
"We'd better suit up and find Marinette and Cat Noir," Miles suggested.
As the three were about to change into their hero outfits, a figure appeared on a nearby tv news broadcast.
The figure on the screen was the Akumatized villain, but something about her look familiar.
The villain was the one who had created the dome over Paris, there were a few diamonds on her outfit and she had even summoned up giant crystals from the ground.
"Ladybug and Cat Noir," the villain stated, "I am Black Diamond...."
"Rarity?!" Applejack said, shocked and horrified that one of her friends had been Akumatized.
"You will surrender your Miraculous," Black Diamond continued, "or all of Paris will know the pain and sadness in my heart.
Black Diamond began shooting out rings from the ring on her finger. The people that the rings latched onto became consumed by sadness and cold-heartedness this, in turn, seemed to make Black Diamond stronger.
"This is only a taste of what awaits the rest of Paris and the world," Black Diamond smiled, "it's your choice Ladybug and Cat Noir, your Miraculous or all of Paris shall face the pain and darkness inside every person's hearts, I'll be waiting."
The screen went black.
"We need to move," Applejack ordered, "now!"
The three finished changing into their costumes and headed for the location where Black Diamond was waiting.
Elsewhere, at the mansion of Gabriel Agreste.
Adrien had seen Black Diamond's message call out Cat Noir and Ladybug on his TV.
He was about to transform when Plagg stopped him, pointing at the TV screen.
The news had continued filming Black Diamond, only now, three of the mysterious heroes from the other day were engaging Black Diamond.
The fight started fine, but Black Diamond soon turned the tables on the heroes.
"We'd better get out there, Plagg," Adrien said, "Claws out!"
With that, Adrien Agreste transformed into his superhero alter ego Cat Noir.
Once he had finished transforming Cat Noir exit the mansion through an open window.
At the same time, Marinette had seen the news and, now as Ladybug, was also heading to help her new allies.
Moments later.
Applejack, Kamala and Miles struggled to get back up, after trying and failing many times to snap their friend back to her senses.
"You all brought this upon yourselves," Black Diamond said, as she prepared crystal shards to rain down on the three heroes along with creating destructive weapons with her ring, "I thought you were my friends, but you abandoned me."
"Rarity, please," Applejack urged, "this isn't you, you're not Black Diamond your Rarity, my best friend, my caramel apple girl to the end!"
For a moment, Black Diamond looked like she coming to her senses, then the butterfly-shaped light mask appeared on her face.
"Do not listen to their lies!" Hawkmoth's voice barked in her mind, "they are trying to manipulate you so they can hurt you again!"
"Indeed," Black Diamond replied, the butterfly-shaped light mask disappearing from her face, "I will not fall for lies and empty words."
"Rarity, no," Applejack cried, "you've got to fight Hawkmoth control, he's putting thoughts in your head."
"Enough!" Black Diamond thundered, "it is time for your lies and deceit to come to an end."
The villain was about get the diamond shards and weapon constructs finish them off.
But before the attacks could land a yo-yo wrapped around the three, dragging them away and out of the villain's range.
"What?!" Black Diamond said.
"I hear you're looking for us," Ladybug declared, as the three heroes joined her and Cat Noir.
"Well, here we are," Cat Noir smiled.
"Finally," Black Diamond remarked, "the guests of honour have arrived."
She summoned by crystal shards and fired them at the heroes.
Ladybug and Cat Noir blocked the projectiles with their respective weapons.
"You will surrender your Miraculous to me," Black Diamond growled.
"Not going gonna happen," Ladybug smiled.
"Then I shall take them by force," Black Diamond stated.
She created drone constructs, with her ring, which proceed to chase the heroes.
"We need a plan," Kamala said, as they all ran as fast as they could.
"Agreed," Miles replied, "but first we need to loose our unwanted guests."
"Leave that to me," Cat Noir said.
"Be careful," Ladybug instructed.
"Always do, m'lady," Cat Noir responded, "I'll meet up with you later."
Cat Noir peeled off from the group, shouting at the drone constructs to follow him and take his Miraculous.
The drones followed him, Ladybug and the others dropped into an ally to catch their breath and plan their next course of action.
"I'm guessing that Black Diamond is your friend Rarity?" Ladybug asked.
"Yeah," Applejack answered, saddened by being reminded that her friend had been turned into an Akumatized villain.
"Now what are we going to do?" Kamala said, "we already tried taking her on using our normal powers, what else can we do?"
"We have to get on your level," Miles suggested, looking at Ladybug.
"That might work," Ladybug said, "and I think I now which Miraculous you three could use."
"We'll do it," Applejack said, a serious look on her face, "if there is a chance to get Rarity back, it's worth it."
"Then wait here," Ladybug replied, "I'll be right back."
With that, Ladybug swung off and out of sight.
After a few minutes, she returned carrying three small boxes which she presented to Applejack, Kamala and Miles.
She had gone to see Master Fu and his Kwami Wazz, the Kwami of protection and the Turtle Miraculous, and had explained the situation to the both of them, the two had understood and allowed Marinette to pick the Miraculouses her allies would need to take on the villain.
"Green Lantern, Ms. Marvel and Spiderman," Ladybug stated, "here are the Miraculous of the Tiger, Bee and Monkey, which grants the powers of Clout, immobilising your opponent and Uproar, you will use them for the greater good."
Applejack and the others took the boxes from Ladybug.
"Once the job is complete," she continued, "you will return the Miraculouses to me, can I trust you?"
"Absolutely," Applejack answered.
"Totally," Kamala replied.
"Hundred percent," Miles nodded.
The three opened the boxes, revealing the Miraculouses: a panjas bracelet, a hair comb and a circlet along with releasing Kwamis within the Miraculouses: Roaar, Pollen and Xuppu.
"Roar!" Roaar said, "I'm Roaar and I'm raring to go, it's havoc time!"
"Greetings," Pollen stated, "my name is Pollen, I am at your service, my queen."
"Hi there," Xuppu greeted, "I'm Xuppu, I hope you're the kind of person who knows how to have fun."
Applejack, Kamala and Miles were in awe at the mystical creatures before them, even after being told about the other Kwamis, just seeing them was something else entirely.
The three were shaken from their amazement by Ladybug.
"I hate to sound pushy," she said, "but I believe we have an Akumatized villain on the loose."
"Right," Applejack nodded.
She and the others put on the Miraculouses.
"What do we do now?" Kamala asked.
"Now," Roarr replied, "you must say our names along with the transformation phrase, mine's Stripes on."
"For me," Pollen followed, "it's Buzz on!
"And for me," Xuppu finished, "it's Show time!"
The three nodded.
"Alright," Applejack said, "don't worry Rarity we're coming, Roaar Stripes On!"
"Pollen," Kamala said, "Buzz On!"
"Xuppu," Miles declared, "Show Time!
In an instant, the three heroes were transformed into their new forms.
The green from Applejack's ring & costume and the purple from the Miraculous merged to become grey.
Kamala and Miles's costumes also merged with their Miraculouses creating new designs.
Once they had finished transforming they took a minute to look over their new outfits.
"This. Is. So. Awesome!" Kamala squealed, as she looked over her new costume, look and weapon, a spinning top.
"Alright, everyone" Applejack said, once she and the others had finished admiring themselves, "lets move, we need to meet up with Cat Noir and stop Black Diamond."
"Right!" Ladybug, Kamala and Miles nodded.
With that, Ladybug, along with the three new Miraculous heroes, rushed off to find Ladybug's partner in crime and together release and bring their friend back to her senses.
Equestria Superhero Girls: Miraculous Meeting
Back with the Sentinels of Magic.
The girls were continuing to wait for the Sentinels to complete the retrieval spell
"I hate waiting," Rainbow Dash uttered, she just wanted the Sentinels to hurry up and completed the spell.
"Patience," Fluttershy said, "I'm sure Dr. Strange and the others are trying their best to get our friends back."
Fluttershy was right, the Sentinels were focusing all energy and will into the spell and then channeling the spell through the Nexus of All Realities, a cross dimensional gateway, not unlike the portals that connected Equestria and the Human world but it wasn't just a gateway to one earth but all earths, even the space between earths, the nexus's origin was a subject of debate either it was created by some higher being or it was a naturally occurring phenomena where all earths and realities intersect.
The Sentinels were using the spell to reach out through the Nexus, sending their astral forms out into the Multiverse to find and locate Twilight's missing friends.
"I hope AJ and the others are OK," Sunset Shimmer murmured, "wherever they are."
"Yeah," Midnight nodded, "I mean the Multiverse is a big place, I mean, how many earths can there be?"
Back on Earth 12015, Paris.
Cat Noir was beginning to get tired of running, the drone constructs were still on his tail.
No matter where he went, the constructs were always there, always just behind him.
He didn't know how much longer he could keep evading, sooner or later his pursuers would catch him.
The tiredness was almost about to overcome Cat Noir and the drone constructs were slowly beginning to close in on him.
But, before, the drones had a chance to catch him, a familiar yo-yo shot from nowhere followed by a spinning top.
Both the drones and Cat Noir turned to see Ladybug and the newly powered up heroes.
"You look like you could use some help, kitty cat," Ladybug smiled, "sorry we took so long, my friends urgently needed a power up and wardrobe change."
The three new heroes and Ladybug made short work of the drone constructs.
"Sorry keep you waiting," she said, "you look like you had quite the runaround, Cat Noir."
"And who are these new friends of your?" Cat Noir asked.
"I'm Grey Tigress," the hero with the Tiger Miraculous replied.
"I'm Queen Marvel Bee," the hero with the Bee Miraculous followed.
"And I'm King Spider-Monkey," the hero with the Monkey Miraculous finished.
"Alright then," Cat Noir nodded, he had decided to just accept the new heroes, "as long as you were here to help that was good enough for me."
"Now that, thats out of the way," Ladybug said, "I believe we have an Akumatized villain to deal with."
"Right," Cat Noir and the three heroes acknowledged.
Now that they were reunited, Ladybug, Cat Noir and the three heroes headed back to the spot where they had had their first battle with Black Diamond.
Elsewhere, Black Diamond's mood hadn't improved with the destruction of her drone constructs.
"You won't escape me, Ladybug," she thundered, "you will surrender your Miraculous to Hawkmoth, yours and Cat Noir's too."
She turned to the people she had manage to capture and control with her cold-heartedness rings.
"Go my cold-heartedness corpsmen," she commanded, "seek out Ladybug and Cat Noir, take their Miraculous and bring them to me."
"Why are you not going after Ladybug and Cat Noir?!" Hawkmoth's voice demanded, in her mind, "why are you not go and confront your enemies?!"
"Patience, Hawkmoth, patience," Black Diamond replied, "everything comes to those who wait."
Suddenly, from the rooftops a voice called out.
"You want our Miraculouses, Black Diamond," the voice declared, "well, here we are."
Black Diamond looked in the direction of the voice and was greeted by sight of Ladybug, Cat Noir, Grey Tigress, Queen Marvel Bee and King Spider-Monkey.
"More Miraculouses?!" Hawkmoth, back in his base exclaimed, he had no idea there were other Miraculous besides the Ladybug and the Cat Miraculous.
"I don't care, what power you have" Black Diamond growled, "it will always pale in comparison to the darkness and cold-heartedness power of the heart I command."
"That maybe so," Grey Tigress responded, "but I know for a fact, the heroes like us and the power of friendship will always be the light that shines through the darkness."
"Meaning," Queen Marvel Bee continued, "that no matter how powerful you think you are, good will always win."
"And because," King Spider-Monkey concluded, "we know that deep down that there is good in you, in your true self, and we're going to help it break free."
"Great speech, guys," Cat Noir complemented.
"Are you finished?" Black Diamond deadpanned.
The heroes all nodded.
"Well, then," Black Diamond smiled, creating a spiked hammer construct covered in diamond shards, "I believe I'll be taking your Miraculouses now."
"Come and get them," King Spider-Monkey proclaimed, "we dare you."
And with that, Black Diamond and the heroes engaged in battle, Applejack, Kamala and Miles were a bit sloppy at first, since they were unused to the weapons their Miraculous costumes provided, Applejack using a Bolas, Kamala using a Spinning top and Miles using a Ruyi Jingu Bang.
Ladybug had also explained that they could only use their individual Miraculous powers once, after which they would only have five minutes until they transformed back to their normal superpowered selves, so they had to choose the moment to use their Miraculous powers carefully.
After a few slip-ups, the three finally got the hang of their new weapons, even combining them with their normal powers, and soon the tide began to turn on Black Diamond.
"We still haven't figured out where the Akuma is," Ladybug said.
"Any idea on where it could be?" Cat Noir asked.
"Think," Queen Marvel Bee said, "what is the thing that is always present on all the constructs Black Diamond creates?"
"Diamonds or crystals," Ladybug replied.
"Maybe she likes collecting gemstones and shiny things," Cat Noir joked.
"Mmmm," Grey Tigress said, thinking out loud, "If I had to guess I would say that the Akuma is inside her hairclip."
"Because it's three diamonds," Ladybug realised, "of course."
"So now that we know where the Akuma is," King Spider-Monkey said, "we just need a plan to get close to her and release the Akuma."
"Right," Ladybug nodded, "maybe my Lucky Charm can give us an idea on here to start."
"Lucky Charm!" she declared, activating her powers and creating a mirror.
"What are you supposed to do with that?" Cat Noir asked.
"Good question," Ladybug replied, she thought for a moment, until she had the answer.
"Ok," she said, "here's the plan."
Ladybug whispered instructions to Cat Noir and the three heroes.
Once everyone was ready, the heroes put the plan into action.
The first part was to disable Black Diamond so she couldn't attack them.
Ladybug tried to restrain the villain with her yo-yo, only for the Black Diamond to block the weapon with her diamond shields and project a forcefield around herself as an added layer of protection.
"You effects are futile," she proclaimed, "after all, diamonds aren't just a girl's best friend, they're also unbreakable."
Next was Grey Tigress, using her Miraculous power of Clout, an incredibly powerful punch, which shattered both the villain's diamond shields and forcefield.
King Spider-Monkey then blinded Black Diamond with his webbing as well as webbing her feet to the ground, preventing her from moving.
This was followed by Queen Marvel Bee, using her Miraculous power of Venom, an attack which paralysed the target, the paralysis varied depending on the user, she had set the paralysis to last for three minutes.
And lastly, King Spider-Monkey with his Miraculous power of Uproar, it was similar to Ladybug power only it created an object that could disrupt the superpowers of anyone touched by it.
The object created was a small white plush unicorn with purple mane and tail.
Before, the paralysis could wear off, Grey Tigress surrounded her with mirror constructs and Ladybug held up the mirror her Lucky Charm had created.
The paralysis finally wore off and Black Diamond tore the webbing away from her eyes.
"What is this?" she asked, as her reflections from the mirrors stared back at her.
She tried to use her powers, but thanks to King Spider-Monkey's Miraculous power, all she could create was a bunch of harmless constructs.
"I want you to see," Grey Tigress replied, "see what you've become, what Hawkmoth made you into....a monster."
Equestria Superhero Girls: Miraculous Meeting
Back with the Sentinels of Magic.
"Dr. Strange and the others are ready for you," Wong said, "please, follow me and remember to do everything you are told."
Twilight and others nodded and followed Wong into the room where the Sentinels were meditating in a circle, their astral forms had returned from searching the Multiverse, they had located the earth where Twilight's friends had ended up on.
"Please join the circle," Dr. Strange instructed, "join hand with us."
Twilight, along with the others, did as instructed, joining the meditation circle and joining hands with the Sentinels.
"Now, clear your minds," Dr. Fate ordered, "think of nothing but your friends and how you want them returned to you."
Twilight and the others followed the instruction, thinking of their friends and how much they wanted them returned to them.
Slowly, but surely, the spell began to take effect and started to work.
Back on Earth 12015, Paris.
"A Monster?" Black Diamond said, as she saw, for the first time, what she looked like, "no, you're lying, you-y-y-you're trying to trick me."
"No," Grey Tigress replied, "I'm being honest here, sugarcube."
"You should know," Queen Marvel Bee followed, "we're aren't the type of people who would lie to anyone, especially their friends."
"We should have realised that you were hurting," King Spider-Monkey concluded, "we should have tried harder to help and comfort you."
"I-I-I-I," Black Diamond stammered, tears beginning to appear in her eyes.
"Why should I believe you?!" she cried, finally allowing some emotion to surface.
"Because," Grey Tigress answered, "you're more than a friend to me, you're my caramel apple girl to the end."
"Don't listen to her," Hawkmoth's voice barked, in Black Diamond's mind, "she's only trying to reel you in and then toss you by the wayside again, like before."
Black Diamond didn't know what to do, she was torn between following Hawkmoth's orders or trusting her friends.
"Arrr," she groaned, clutching her head, "I must get the Miraculouses, but I can't hurt my friends."
"That's it," Ladybug prompted, "you can fight Hawkmoth's influence and reject the powers he gave you, you need to give us your hairclip, that's where Akuma is."
"You're stronger than Hawkmoth," Cat Noir smiled, "and I'm sure if you just talk to friends I'm sure they'll be able to help you."
The strain on Black Diamond/Rarity's mind was too much. Finally, she managed to muster up enough mental strength to take off her hairclip and throw it to Grey Tigress.
Grey Tigress then handed the hairclip to Cat Noir, who used his Cataclysm to destroy the hairclip, realising the Akuma inside.
"Care to do the honours, Ladybug?" Queen Marvel Bee smiled.
"Certainly," Ladybug nodded, she readied her yo-yo.
"No more evil doing for you, little Akuma," she declared, "time to de-evilize!"
Like before, Ladybug used her yo-yo to capture the fleeing Akuma, purging it of Hawkmoth's negative energy and returning it to its pure white form, after which she released it.
With the Akuma dealt with, Black Diamond's form dissipated, reverting back to Rarity, the diamond shield over Paris disappeared and the people who had been forcefully deputised into her cold-heartiness corps where freed.
Ladybug then used her magical ladybugs to fix the damage that Black Diamond had caused and everything went back the way it was before the villain had appeared, along with repairing Rarity's hairclip.
And it was at that time, that Grey Tigress, Queen Marvel Bee and King Spider-Monkey Miraculouses timed out, reverting back to their normal hero selves.
Ladybug and Cat Noir prepared for their victory fist bump, motioning at the Applejack, Kamala and Miles to join them.
"Pound it," the five proclaimed.
"You okay, Rarity?" Applejack said, helping her friend to her feet.
All Rarity could do in response was to hug her friend, "I'm sorry, Applejack," she breathed, "so sorry I should have trusted you and been honest with you about what was bothering me."
"There, there," Applejack smiled, "it's ok, you were just scared and vulnerable, but it's ok now."
"Thanks for not giving up on me," Rarity replied, "even after how I acted."
"Like we'd ever give up on one of our friends," Kamala said, Miles nodding in agreement with her.
Suddenly, the four began to glitch and turn incorporeal.
"Whats happening?" Cat Noir asked.
"It's happening again," Applejack said, "only, it feels stronger this time."
"You're right," Miles agreed, "it's like we're being pulled away from here."
"That means," Rarity realised, "we're going home!"
Quickly, before they were pulled elsewhere, Applejack, Kamala and Miles returned the Miraculouses to Ladybug, Ladybug also returning Rarity's hairclip.
"Well," Ladybug said, "I guess this is goodbye."
"I guess so," Applejack replied, "it was nice meetin, y'all."
"If you are ever in our corner of the multiverse," Kamala added, as the four faded more and more from the reality they were in, "make sure you ask for the superhero team, the Champions!"
With that, the four completely faded from existence.
"What just....happened, m'lady?" Cat Noir asked, completely confused.
"It's a long story, kitty cat," Ladybug answered, with a knowing smile, "I'll have to tell you some other time."
Suddenly, Ladybug realised her Miraculous was about to time out, "but it'll have wait until next time," she continued, "I gotta go, bug out."
Cat Noir was left alone utterly confused by the event that had just transpired, but he soon realised that his Miraculous was also about to time out, so he too had to leave before he transformed back into Adrien.
Back with the Sentinels of Magic.
"Applejack, Rarity, Kamala, Miles!" Twilight and others all collectively cried, as their friends rematerialised, inside of the Sentinels' meditation circle.
"You're back and you're alright," Midnight smiled, hugging her returned friends.
"Yes," Kamala nodded, "I'm just glad that the whole ordeal is over."
"I'm sorry to say," Dr. Strange stated, grimly, "that couldn't be further from the truth."
"For you see," Dr. Fate continued, "while the spell used to retrieve you was successful, it has resulted in the door between earths being ripped wide open."
"And now," Zatanna concluded, "we must prepare for whatever may come through from the other side."
"You all must ready yourselves," Dr. Voodoo added, "for the multiverse of madness."
"We will," Rainbow Dash nodded, "we're ready for anything."
She turned to the rest of her friends, "right, guys?" she asked.
"Right," Twilight and the others nodded.
"Let us hope so," Hellstorm remarked, in a very grave tone.
"Thank you," Twilight said, "for everything."
"We're just glad to be back," Applejack smiled.
Having accomplished their goal of retrieving their friends, Twilight and the others left the Sanctum Sanctorum, Wong opening a portal back to where he had brought them from originally.
"I have so many questions," Twilight said, "you four are the first people in recorded history to make an, unintentional autonomous multiversal jump."
"Maybe later," Applejack replied, "right now, I wanna go home and get a drink of apple cider."
She turned to Rarity, "I don't suppose you'd like to join me, Rare?" she asked.
"I most certainly would love to, AJ" Rarity smiled, her cheek turning a slight red.
The whole gang walked off into the sunset.
Equestria Superhero Girls: Miraculous Meeting
Later, that same evening.
Applejack and Rarity sat in Applejack's house, a mug of apple cider in each others hand.
Rarity was the first to speak, breaking the silence between the two.
"Thanks for not giving up on me," she said, "thanks for reminding me who my real friends are."
"Of course, I didn't give up on you," Applejack replied, "you think I would just abandon you? Not in a million years."
Rarity put her cider mug down, her and Applejack taking each others hands and looking into each others eyes.
Back on Earth 12015, Françoise Dupont Middle School.
The next day.
Marinette and her class took their places as they returned to school after the Akuma attack the previous day.
"Alright," Caline Bustler said, "it looks like everyone is here."
She suddenly noticed, four people on her attendance list that were not present in the class room, they were: Plainity, Sana Wilson, Brian Pichelli and Jacqueline Apple.
"Oh, I forgot to mention," Marinette said, "they left late last night."
"Bummer," Nino commented, "I'm really gonna miss those guys."
"Yeah," another of Marinette's friends and classmates, Kim Chiến Lê Ature, nodded, "especially the Jacqueline girl, she looked like a worthy opponent for an arm wrestle dare."
"It's kinda strange," Alya remarked, "they just happened show up at the same time as those four new heroes appeared to help out Ladybug and Cat Noir.
"Yeah," Adrien murmured, aloud, "I wonder if we'll ever see them again?"
"I don't know," Marinette said, "guess we'll never know."
"The nerve of them," Chloé grumbled, "they didn't say goodbye."
"Alright, alright," Caline Bustler said, "settle down everyone, transfer students or not, we still have a class to start today."
Back with the girls, the day after their friends return.
After spending the night at Applejack's house, Rarity and the cowgirl met the others at Twilight's house to decide what to do about the Multiversal Viewer.
After debating with everyone, Twilight had realised that the Multiversal Viewer was far too dangerous to keep around and thus she had decided to destroy the machine so the events of the previous day could not be repeated.
Her friends had assisted with the machine's dismantling and destruction.
"I think I've learnt something from all this," Twilight said, looking at the pieces of her machine around her, "there are things out there in the multiverse we're better off not knowing about."
A magical portal opened in New Orleans and Dr. Strange walked into the parlour of Nimue Inwudu a.k.a. Madame Xanadu, the seventh member of the Sentinels of Magic.
Madame Xandau was a powerful fortune teller as well as the guardian of various magical artifacts, the inside of the parlour was adorned with books, objects and jars containing essences of malevolent entities.
"Stephen Strange," Madame Xandau greeted, rising from her fortune telling table as the Sorcerer Supreme approached, "to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?"
"That message you sent me and the others," Dr. Strange replied, bluntly, "my question is why? I trust you are aware of what we had to do in order to retrieve those four?"
"I can assure you, Stephen," Madame Xanadu answered, "I well aware of consequences, but those girls and their allies will be needed for what is to come."
She returned to her table, gesturing to Dr. Strange to join her, which he obliged.
"I have seen the future," Madame Xanadu said, beginning to flip over tarot cards, "and there is a storm coming, better batten down the hatches, because we're going to need all the help we can get."
Dr. Strange looked down at the last card Madame Xanadu had flipped over, Death.
Equestria Superhero Girls: Miraculous Meeting
Elsewhere on Earth 12015, Paris.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng, the civilian identity of the superhero Ladybug, walked along the road to school.
Similarly Adrien Agreste, the civilian identity of fellow superhero and Ladybug's partner in crime Cat Noir, was also on his way to school.
Neither one knew that the other was a superhero. But when Paris, the city they both called home, was in trouble both Ladybug and Cat Noir would appear to battle the evil Hawkmoth and whatever supervillain he had created.
Hawkmoth was the villainous identity of Gabriel Agreste, Adrien's father, who was obsessed with acquiring both Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses. Miraculouses were items that contained a mystical being called a Kwami, a divine, spirit-like being, that embodied abstract concepts. Ladybug and Car Noir's Miraculouses embodied creation and destruction.
Hawkmoth wanted the two Miraculous because when both creation and destruction are brought together, the one who holds them would be granted a wish that could rewrite the universe itself.
"Hey, Marinette," Greeted Alya Césaire, one of Marinette's closest friends, "you completed the homework set last night?"
"Oh, course I did," Marinette replied, "what did you think I was doing?"
"Daydreaming about Adrien," Alya replied, with a sly smile.
Marinette blushed bright red, "what?!" she blathered, "what are you talking about? I would never...."
She was cut off as Alya looked at her with a 'really' look on her face.
"Okay," Marinette relented, "maybe Adrian was on my mind, a little."
The two smiled and continued on their way to school.
Adrien's limo pulled up outside the front doors of Françoise Dupont Middle School.
"I will be back to collect you at the end of the day," said, Nathalie Sancoeur, Gabriel Agreste's assistant.
"Sure," Adrien replied, as he exited the vehicle.
Once the limo had driven away, Adrien was greeted by Nino Lahiffe, Alix Kubdel, Rose Lavillant and Juleka Couffaine.
These were his and Marinette's classmates and friends as they were all in the same class.
Moments later Marinette and Alya arrived and the group of friends entered the school building, all of them completely unaware that their world was about to receive four new visitors.
Meanwhile.
Rarity, Applejack, Kamala and Miles rematerialised in the streets of Paris.
"Whoa," Miles said, "what happened?"
"Where are we?" Kamala asked.
"Last thing I remember," Applejack replied, "we were at Twilight's house, helping her test her Multiversal viewer thing when it overloaded and zapped us or something."
"But that would mean...." Rarity began, as the realisation hit her and the others.
"That we're on an entirely different earth," Kamala finished.
Suddenly, a terrible thought entered all of their heads, 'how are we going to get back home?'
