Foundation Prime

Exiled's Fortress

"They're here." Upon hearing the observation all of the villains in the Throne Room turned to The Exiled, confused as to what he meant. Everyone was there except for Dr. Eggman, who was making some final adjustments to the Gateway in the Catacombs. Exiled was currently hovering around the Foundation of all Dimensions, managing to place the orb under his control after its act of defiance earlier.

Ultron looked at Exiled with a tilt of his head, "Who?" He asked before adding, "The Guardians?"

"No. My brothers." Was all Exiled said before peering into the orb, a faint image could be seen within the Foundation. The image showed four massive figures marching toward the fortress.

His deformed brothers.

The Titans.

Wyvern hovered alongside Giganto, who was walking to the left of Supreme. And to the leader's right was Knight, who had already drawn his blade.

Talos chuckled humorlessly, glad and yet saddened to see his brothers in such a state. But in his eyes they were in the wrong, not him. "My brothers, you've aged terribly." He taunted as he added some more electricity to the Foundation, further cementing his control over the orb. "Despite our stances it pains me to see you all this way, so I'll be the bigger man and put you out of your misery." He empowered himself with a grunt, adding more electricity which consumed the orb before it released a pulse of power.

The pulse moved from the fortress and spread out towards the Titans.

Wyvern flew forward with a screech before being covered by the pulse. It let out a final screech before turning to stone, its red highlights going dark. And he wasn't alone as once the pulse reached the other Titans they too turned to stone. Giganto ceased moving, Knight dropped his blade, with it smashing into pieces upon impact, and Supreme simply lowered his head before succumbing to the power of the Foundation of all Dimensions.

Exiled's laughter could be heard as the Titans crumbled to dust.

Celestia felt horrible, she felt like throwing up and curling into a ball and crying herself to sleep. She had failed. Again. She hadn't felt this bad since Luna had declared vengeance and became Nightmare Moon. Her stomach kept churning and turning as her mind raced back to what Twilight had said.

She had resigned as her student and had thrown the Element of Magic in her face.

How did it come to this?

Rainbow Dash was angry, not at Twilight, but at herself. She was angry at how disloyal she was to her friend, how uncool she had been. The bullies from Flight School came to mind, Rainbow swore that she would never make anypony feel the way those bullies made her feel like.

Only to make one of her best friends feel exactly like that.

So much for the Element of Loyalty.

Her parents would be so disappointed with her, and Applejack wouldn't blame them. She had been outright awful to Twilight, a mare she considered family. Applejack was the one who suggested checking on the princess, not giving her friend a second thought. She had led the group out of the hall.

She had led the others to leave Twilight alone, silently crying to herself.

What kind of Apple does that?

Fluttershy couldn't help but cry at her actions towards Twilight, she hadn't meant to make Twilight feel like that, she truly didn't. It still didn't change the fact that she did. God she wished that she could've done things differently, she wished that she could've given Twilight the time of day.

She wished she could've shown her the kindness she needed at the time.

She wasn't very kind to Twilight was she?

Rarity's makeup was stained by her tears but she didn't care, she felt dreadful for how she treated her dear, dear friend. She had misled her on her birthday, something that she never truly forgave herself for. She had just left the poor mare crying after her brother had disowned her.

She should've stayed and given her a generous shoulder to cry on.

She should've done a lot of things that day.

Pinkie had never made anypony sad before, it wasn't a very nice feeling. But she would bet her entire stash of party supplies that Twilight was feeling a lot worse. A part of her wasn't surprised though, she had suspected something was wrong with Twilight at not only the wedding reception, but all of the other parties they had had after that day. Her smile was strained, fake, not genuine.

Pinkie wanted to give Twilight her smile.

Not being the one to take it away.

The sound of hooves clopping against the stone floor caught their ears, causing them to lift their heads and watch as both Twilight and Batman re-entered the Gateway room with the former's coat no longer a depressing grey, but a vibrant lavender.

She looked a lot more cheerful than she was when she left the room.

Spike wasted no time in darting over and jumping into Twilight's waiting legs, crying into her chest and stuttering apologies over and over again. Twilight whispered into his ear and held him close, gently rubbing the back of his head comfortingly. "Oh, my baby dragon, you didn't do anything wrong." She reassured him with a soothing voice. "I am so proud of you, my darling boy, you could never make me hate you."

After softly kissing his forehead she set the dragon down and began slowly approaching Celestia and the other. Twilight stopped and turned to Batman for a second. When he gave her a nod of reassurance she took a deep breath and continued her pace to the others.

"Girls," Twilight began before being cut off by Applejack.

"Hold on, Sugarcube." She looked nervous, it was weird seeing the normally easy going mare look so unsure about herself. She looked to the others for a moment before looking Twilight in the eyes. "We have to apologize."

"Properly this time." Rarity added helpfully.

"We haven't been the nicest of friends to you, Twi." Rainbow's voice cracked, ignoring the wetness in her eyes. She quickly wiped them away before continuing, "We were pretty crummy to you, and you didn't deserve it."

"We thought about what you said and you were right." Pinkie said in an uncharacteristically serious tone. "I am so, so, sorry I took your smile away, Twilight. Not even a hundred parties could make up for how I treated you."

"I'm sorry for not being generous enough to lend you my time." Rarity.

"I'm sorry I didn't give you the kindness you needed." Fluttershy.

"Ah'm whole heartedly, and honestly, sorry for makin' ya feel the way ya did." Applejack.

"I'm super duper sorry for taking away your reason to laugh." Pinkie Pie.

"I'm sorry for not giving you the loyalty you deserve." Rainbow Dash.

"We don't expect you to forgive us, nor should you, after the way we treated you." Rarity said as she took a step forward, tears falling down her face as the others moved to join her. "We only hope that you know that we're well and truly sorry. The truth is, darling..."

"We love you, Twilight." They said collectively

They waited for Twilight to say something, anything. The silence was killing them if they were being honest, it was practically deafening as they all waited anxiously for the lavender mare to respond to their apologetic pleas.

"You girls hurt me." Twilight started, catching their attention. "When you left me in that rehearsal hall I wanted to disappear. To turn my back on friendship and never look back, to become the same recluse I was before I came to Ponyville. That's how much you hurt me." They all looked away shamefully, unable to look her in the eyes. "But do you want to know the worst part? You didn't even say you were sorry."

They couldn't bare to look at her, they weren't worthy enough for a second chance.

"But now you have."

Or were they?

The Mane 5 looked at Twilight as a hopeful smile etched itself upon her face, tears glistening in her eyes as she continued. "You actually apologized, you're making the first step to mending the broken bond between us." She took a hesitant step forward, "Now it's time I do the same."

"D-Does that mean...?" Pinkie asked hesitantly.

"I've been carrying this anger and resentment towards you girls for months." She wiped her eyes and shook her head, "And I don't want to hold onto that anymore. I don't want to feel that way about you girls anymore." Off to the left, no-one noticed that the Element of Magic began to glisten, a faint sparkle appearing inside of the jewel. Well nobody except Princess Luna, who looked at the crown with a hopeful smile, as did Celestia. "'Friendship isn't easy, but there's no doubt that it's worth fighting for.'" Twilight recited the lesson she learned when they faced Discord the first time, which brought hopeful smiles and tears to the eyes of the Mane 5. She sniffled as she said the three words they were wanting to hear.

"I forgive you."

Twilight galloped to the girls.

The girls galloped to Twilight.

The Element of Magic ascended off of the ground as its color began to return to it with a flash of magic.

The Mane 6 collided with one another in a massive group hug, tears and vows of never abandoning one of their own ever again having been exchanged as they melded together in the bonds of friendship and a bond so strong that nothing could break it ever again.

The bond of family.

Twilight felt as if a massive weight had been lifted off of her shoulders as she nuzzled Pinkie Pie, who's mane had re-inflated like a balloon. For the first time in months she felt comfortable and happy to be around the girls again, she could actually feel how much they loved her.

She begrudgingly broke up the hug, tears still fresh in her eyes, before turning to face the approaching Princess Celestia, who had a look of shame all over her face.

"Princess..." Twilight started but was stopped when Celestia raised her hoof to silence her.

"Twilight, I am sorry." Celestia apologized softly. "I am so sorry for making you feel as if I didn't care for your opinion, for making you feel like I was using you to fight my battles. I am so sorry for making you feel less of yourself, for making you feel like you weren't worth my time. Twilight you are the only pony in all of Equestria I would drop anything for to help you when I could. And I'm sorry I made you feel like I didn't, and I will be forever grateful if you could find it in your heart to forgive me."

She got her answer when the little unicorn collided with her chest, wrapping her legs around her neck as she nuzzled it softly. Celestia broke out of her stupor and wrapped her wings around her student, not wanting to let go, for fear that this was all a dream and that she would awaken.

Twilight pulled away and looked up at her mentor, "I hope it's not too late to reinstate myself as your student?"

"You don't even need to ask." Celestia said with a smile.

They both looked back to see everyone staring at them with smiles on their faces, looking at them as if everything was going to be alright. Heck even Batman had a smile on his face, but that was probably because he was so proud of Twilight, he couldn't be prouder.

The unicorn smiled gratefully at her best friend before lighting up her horn and levitating the Element of Magic over and placing it on top of her head. "Alright, what's our next move?" She asked the obvious question, ready to focus on stopping Exiled before everything ends.

Captain America cleared his throat and said, "We've had time to regroup and gather our bearings. Now we should focus on getting back and stopping that maniac before he dooms us all."

"But how?" Amy asked. "He's got an army full of super villains at his beck and call."

"We'd never make it past them in time." Luna said solemnly.

"We can just punch our way through them!" Knuckles announced confidently.

DK agreed, "Yeah! We've beaten those freaks before! We can do it again!"

"Something tells me it's not gonna be that easy." Spider-Man informed the pair, looking down in thought. "I don't need Spider-Sense to know that we are way outnumbered here."

"What if we weren't?"

They all turned to Batman, him having been the one who said that.

"Father?" Damian asked, wondering what he meant.

Batman simply looked to his fellow Guardians, a knowing look on his face. "I think it's time we cash in a few favors from a few of our friends. Both old and new."

"Do you think that they would help?" Mario asked.

Batman simply looked to Twilight, the pair simply sharing a knowing smile with one another before turning to face everyone.

"Definitely." They both said confidently, having full faith in their plan.

Tony clapped his hands together, "Alright while we focus on that, someone has to work on getting X-PO fully operational again."

Sonic chuckled before zooming over and wrapping his arm around Tails' shoulder, "Heh! Shouldn't be a problem for the 'boy genius' over here!"

"Hey! Cut it out, Sonic!" Tails laughed as he tried to get out of the noogie he had been ensnared in. Once Sonic released him he said, "I'll see what I can do, this is really advanced tech after all."

"Want some help?" Spidey offered. "Y'know I'm something of a scientist myself."

"Sure!" Tails beamed, his tails wagging happily at the thought of making a new friend, and a smart one at that.

Cap nodded before looking around at everyone, his shield in hand, a sign of leadership. "Alright, we have a plan. Let's put it to action people!"

Earth 1995

Andy's Room

It had been a few days since Twilight and the other had left to continue their mission, having said their goodbyes to Woody and the gang, going on their merry way. Since that time they had made their way back to Andy's room, already having noticed that since the Creation Keystone was no longer in their reality, the world, as well as Galaxy Toys had began to fade away, just as Twilight had said it would.

They'd been waiting for a few days, they expected the process to be slow, but not this slow.

At this moment Buzz was currently talking with Woody, discussing how they were gonna explain their absence to the others once they got back. That was going to be a fun story to tell, the others would probably think that they were crazy. Rex and Hamm were playing a video game, trying to take their minds off of the boredom. The Sarge and his soldiers were currently monitoring the Three Little Green Men, making sure that they were staying out of trouble.

But they were all startled out of their activities by the appearance of a portal opening up underneath the desk in Andy's Room. The toys rushed over and readied themselves for whoever it was that was paying them a visit, anticipating the arrival of more Soulless Ones.

But their guard was not needed as Twilight stepped out of the portal with a smile on her face.

Earth 2145

The Kingdom of Corona

Flynn and Rapunzel were currently sitting on a grassy hill in front of Rapunzel's tower, admiring the nature and the sunlight while Maximus trotted up towards them with a smug smile on his face and a bouquet of flowers in his mouth. Rapunzel accepted them with a smile as Flynn gave the horse a flat look.

The horse simply neighed in his face, arching an eyebrow, daring him to do better than that.

Maximus grew confused when Flynn smirked back, but that confusion turned to shock as Rider spun The Lost Princess around and planted his lips against hers, cementing the kiss. Rapunzel was shocked at first but eventually leaned into it, her eyes closing as she cupped Flynn's face with her hands.

Maximus looked away with a huff, he knew when he was beat.

But the sudden appearance of a portal caught their attention, causing Rapunzel to break the kiss and dart over, with a grumbling Flynn Rider following close behind. Once all three of them approached the portal, a familiar looking plumber leapt out of it and landed on the soft, green grass.

Mario tipped his cap to the trio while Rapunzel let out a child like squeal.

Earth 1

Metropolis

Clean up had been progressing slowly since the Changeling Invasion of Metropolis.

Each member of the Justice League had been doing their part to help. Cyborg got the power back on and public transport up and running again. Green Lantern and Wonder Woman were directing the Police and the military operations in rescuing survivors. Flash had been zooming around the city for any stray Soulless Ones that could still be in the area, as was Martian Manhunter, who took to the skies to deal with any strays that he might have found.

And Superman was clearing out any form of debris, saving innocent people from being trapped in destroyed buildings, helping people get back on their feet, doing whatever he could to help.

The Justice League were currently standing in front of the Daily Planet, where a portal had suddenly appeared. Their moods shifted from weariness to happiness when Batman stepped through.

Something told them that this wasn't over quite yet.

Earth 2001

Monsters Incorporated

Sully and Mike were currently closing the doors to the factory, locking up for the night, ready to retire for the night and get a good nights sleep. They had had a chaotic few days since Boo's visit, what with the factory being attacked, to meeting the Guardians, to battling Randall and that Deathstroke guy.

After signing a few signatures and closing a few deals to get better security for the factory the two monsters were ready to call it a night.

But those plans were ruined by a portal emerging out of nowhere, causing Mike to yelp like a little girl.

Their worries were gone when Iron Man walked out of the portal, chuckling at Mike as he looked at him dumbly while resting in Sulley's arms.

The one eyed monster grunted when Sulley dropped him to the floor.

Earth 2014

San Fransokyo

Hiro had gotten a report of the appearance of another portal in the heart of the city, the news having warned citizens to stay away as they were unsure of its origins. But Hiro and Big Hero 6 knew, and they couldn't wait to see their friends again. After Ultron and Eggman's attack on the city things had calmed down in San Fransokyo, no villain or monster attacks of the sort, so Big Hero 6 could just lay back and chill.

But when they got word of the emergence of a portal they rushed into action so that they could greet their friends.

The team arrived in the heart of the city, with Hiro jumping off of Baymax's back and darting for the portal, standing in front of it as a blue hedgehog zipped out of the portal and moved past Hiro. They all turned around to see Sonic resting on a park bench, holding his head up with his hand as he gave them all a confident smirk.

Earth 1984

Jasper, Nevada

The Autobots were armed and ready when a portal had appeared in the middle of their secret base, their blasters trained on the tear in reality as they awaited for whomever was foolish enough to enter their base. But once Optimus saw the silhouette of a little unicorn he ordered his comrades to stand down.

His face mask split apart as he knelt down in front of the portal, a small smile on his face as his friend entered their base.

Twilight shook her head and looked up at Optimus Prime with a smile.

The two friends smiled at one another before turning to the other Autobots. For they knew that their mission with the Guardians of the Multiverse was far from over.

Unknown Earth

Vorton

The Gateway closed as Twilight led the Autobots into the room where all of the other heroes were mingling with one another, getting to know the ones that they were fighting along side with in the upcoming battle. Twilight looked over to see Tails, Hiro, Iron Man, and Spider-Man adding the finishing touches to X-PO.

"This technology is very advanced, even by my standards." Hiro commented, screwing on the glass protecting X-PO's eye.

"Took me by surprise too, kid." Iron Man closed the panel on X-PO's back before standing upright, folding his arms over his chest as he waited for the A.I. to come back online.

"It's amazing what the Ancients were able to create." Tails said in awe, wiping sweat from his brow. "Given the circumstances."

Spider-Man petted the top of X-PO's head, remaining crouched in front of the offline robot. "Well hopefully when this is all over we can ask him to show us some of his trade secrets."

The four geniuses backed away as X-PO's eye suddenly lit up, his entire form twitching before he suddenly levitated into the air and let out a happy cheer. "Thank all that is holy! You have no idea how utterly terrifying being offline is, it's just you and your thoughts, and since I speak my thoughts aloud it's just me talking to myself. Never thought I'd get tired of hearing the sound of my own voice."

"It's good to have you back, buddy."

"It's great to be back!" The robot looked around and saw the various heroes standing in the portal room. "And I see you've all been busy. That's great cause we're gonna need all the help we can get!"

A clearing of someone's throat caught everyone's attention, breaking them all out of their individual conversations as they turned to Batman and Twilight Sparkle, who were both standing in front of the Gateway. They silenced themselves and waited for the Element of Magic bearer and the Dark Knight to begin.

"Thank you all for coming on such short notice." Batman began, getting straight to the point. "As you may be aware we don't have much time, so we'll make this quick." He looked around to everyone as he addressed them. "We're about to storm Foundation Prime and try to seize the Foundation of all Dimensions back from Exiled's control."

"The Foundation of all Dimensions is the heart of everything that exists." Twilight continued, explaining what it was for those who were unaware. "It's what breathes life into the Multiverse, what keeps our worlds alive. Without it we'd all cease to exist. Talos plans to use it to return to the realm beyond; Elysium, where the Ancients originally came from before creating the Multiverse."

Batman then took over, "He plans to drain all of the energy from the Foundation to power his way back to Elysium, if he succeeds the Multiverse will die. Everything will die, your loved ones, your worlds, everything we know is at stake."

"We'll be facing an army of supervillains that Talos has somehow convinced to help him." Twilight informed them, taking over for Batman. "They won't let us past them without a fight, which is why we've called upon you. To ask for your help in not just saving your worlds, but all worlds. In our travels we've made many friends," She looked to the Mane 5 and smiled, "both old and new." She then redirected her attention to the heroes before her. "I know we're asking a lot of you, but we need you."

"The Multiverse needs you." Batman reiterated before asking, "So, are you with us?"

The response was almost instantaneous, they didn't even need to ask.

Optimus Prime stepped forward, "As leader of the Autobots, it is my duty to protect our new home. We would be honored to join you in this coming conflict."

"As would we." Superman volunteered, speaking on behalf of the Justice League.

"Big Hero 6 has got your backs!" Hiro said enthusiastically, his team posing behind him.

Woody, who was standing on Donkey Kong's shoulder, placed his hand over his chest and said, "Our size might be small, but our hearts are bigger than the average toy. We'll do what we can to save our home and Andy."

Celestia trotted over to the toys with a smile on her face, "I might be able to help with that." She said before lighting up her horn, a golden aura covering both her horn and the toys. They then suddenly grew to human size thanks to Celestia's magic. "Now you'll be able to help in the war effort."

Buzz looked at his hands before touching his laser, "My laser still works, must be a side effect of us being stuck in that fake world."

"That'll probably wear off when you return home." X-PO informed the toy, to which he got a nod in affirmation.

Twilight, looking at the scene, smiled before turning to Rapunzel, Flynn, and Maximus. "What about you guys?"

The trio looked at one another before turning and nodding to the mare, showing that they were sticking around until the end.

The same could be said for Mike and Sulley.

"You helped us get Boo home safely." Sulley said to Twilight, reminding her of their efforts back in Monsters Inc.

"We're with ya until the end!" Mike agreed.

"You don't even have to ask us!" Rainbow said confidently, gesturing behind her with her legs towards the rest of the Mane 6, Celestia and Luna, Spike, The Avengers, Team Sonic, Princess Peach and the other residents of the Mushroom Kingdom, and of course, Robin.

"We're with you." Luna said with a smile.

"Until the very end." Captain America finished for her, standing beside her with his shield in hand.

Twilight and Batman looked around at their friends, who were ready to go to the ends of the earth for them, to save every world that ever existed. The two friends then looked to one another before turning around to face the Gateway, which had swirled to life thanks to X-PO.

"Alright then." Batman said.

"Let's finish this!" Twilight declared before leading the team of united heroes into the fight of their lives.

Foundation Prime

The Wastes

Twilight was the first to step hoof on Foundation Prime, with Batman walking alongside her before the other heroes arrived in the Wastes of Foundation Prime. Once the remaining heroes stepped out of the portal it closed, leaving no room to turn back.

Iron Man, Sonic, and Mario walked past their fellow comrades and stood beside their fellow Guardians, staring at the ominous pyramid in the distance.

This was it.

Now or never.

Applejack felt Spike brush past her before asking, "You think they know we're here?"

He got his answer when a multitude of portals appeared in the distance, hundreds and hundreds of Rifts serving as entry points for the army of Soulless Ones that entered the scene. And not only that the army of villains also walked out of their own separate portal, ready to fight for their own selfish reasons.

"Ah'd say they have an idea." Applejack said to Spike before focusing on the upcoming battle.

Infinite launched himself into the air and activated the Phantom Ruby, causing reality to distort before flying forward, leading the villainous army forward.

Twilight bared her teeth as she declared, "For our friends! For our homes! FOR THE MULTIVERSE!!!" She then led the charge after declaring her battle cry, rushing forward with her fellow Guardians of the Multiverse. Once the tow armies met all hell broke loose.

Sonic immediately Spin Dashed Infinite out of the air before destroying a few Soulless Ones with multiple Homing Attacks while Iron Man and Baymax flew side by side and took both Deathstroke and Chrysalis head on, allowing Optimus Prime to transform and bulldoze multiple Soulless Ones.

As the Autobots drove past, Batman and Robin were fending off multiple Soulless Ones, throwing Batarangs and slicing drones with a katana, while Knuckles gilded above them and sent Mr. Freeze crashing down onto the ground, where he was then grabbed by Donkey Kong and tossed away. The two smirked at one another before joining Wasabi and Rapunzel in fending off multiple Soulless Commanders.

As Wasabi slashed through multiple androids, Princess Celestia and Luna were flying around King Sombra, dodging multiple blasts of Dark Magic, and repelling his evil spells with their own magic.

"Oh, Celestia and Luna." Sombra sneered as his eyes glowed green. "Why do we always find ourselves in these situations?"

"Because you always find yourself on the wrong side of Harmony!" Celestia shouted before firing a magic laser at the Dark King.

As the two beams connected, The Flash, Sonic, Rainbow Dash, and Go Go were blitzing through multiple Soulless Ones, all the while being chased by Mecha Sonic and Metal Sonic respectively. The latter darted forward to try and slash his organic counterpart, only to be sent flying back by Captain America's shield.

His shield bounced off of the robot and returned to him in time to block and incoming swipe from a Soulless Lieutenant. He shoved the android back as Rapunzel grabbed hold of a rope of webbing spun by Spider-Man, causing it to trip right into Green Lantern's baseball bat construct, sending it flying through the air.

As the lieutenant turned to mist, M.O.D.O.K. was busy cackling madly as he fired multiple missiles at Wonder Woman, who used her bracelets to block the projectiles. "Foolish attractive woman! You cannot defeat the power of science!" He declared as he fired a laser from his head, sending her flying back. The Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing cackled before being blasted away by Fred, who then froze multiple Soulless Ones, allowing Martian Manhunter to smash them with his fists.

The Martian took to the air as Tails and Luigi stood back to back, the former using his Mega Buster to fend off Soulless Ones while the latter simply used his strength to repel them. As they continued to fight, Black Widow flipped over them and used her Widow's Bite to zap Zavok, who was currently fighting Arcee. Once the Zeti was stunned, the Autobot punted him across the battlefield.

The Zeti rolled to a stop beside Deathstroke, who was currently dueling both Spider-Man and Amy. The assassin brought his sword down on Amy's hammer, which was used to block the attack, while also firing multiple shots at the Web Head. Spider-Man flipped over most of the bullets and went to land. But he was suddenly blindsided by Venom, who swung down and grabbed him by the throat.

"H-Hey Eddie." Peter strained before kneeing the Symbiote in the ribs, freeing himself.

"Get back here, Parker!" Venom snarled as he gave chase.

As the two swung across the battle field, Honey Lemon was busy fighting against Scarecrow, who tried to inject the heroine with his Fear Toxin. "What's the matter? It's okay to be afraid."

"I agree."

Crane turned around and was met with a mighty roar from Sulley, stunning him as Honey Lemon threw a Chem-Ball at the villain, trapping him in pink foam. Sulley smirked before bonking him on the head. He turned around and went to help Mike, who was busy fending off Soulless Ones with Woody, Buzz, and the other toys.

"To infinity and beyond!" Buzz shouted as he destroyed multiple androids with his laser.

"There is only one that has achieved infinity." A certain jackal announced as he threw multiple Phantom Orbs down at the toys. "And that would be me!" He released a burst of Phantom energy before being struck in the back by Cyborg, who had blasted him with his arm cannon.

Cyborg then turned around and blasted Chrysalis in the chest, who had been looming over Toad menacingly. He then took to the air and assisted Iron Man in the sky, taking out the many Changelings that were acting as ariel support. Just beneath them Flynn Rider was running away from multiple Soulless Commanders and Lieutenants with a smirk on his face. He then slid as Bumblebee launched over him, still in vehicle mode, and transformed before blasting them all to kingdom come.

A few ways away Superman was busy fighting Lex Luthor, who was firing Kryptonite blasts at the Kryptonian hero, ready to end his life once and for all. "I should have known you'd show up sooner or later, Superman." Lex said with a smirk before releasing a burst of power, sending Superman flying back.

"End this madness, Luthor!" Superman demanded.

"Why would I do that?" Lex asked, aiming his hand at his arch enemy. "I am on the cusp of victory! There is nothing you can do to stop us!"

"Don't be so sure!"

The declaration caused Lex to turn around to see who had dared defy him. He saw Captain America riding atop of Maximus with Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity running alongside him. AJ threw her lasso around Lex and tugged on it, causing him to stagger as Pinkie Pie fired her Party Cannon, disorienting him, which allowed Cap to hurl his shield at the villain. Once the shield bounced off of Lex's chest, Superman darted over and punched Luthor to the floor.

"Nicely done, darlings!" Rarity commended them for their job well done.

"It's not over yet." Cap reminded her before getting back into the fight.

They all charged forward as Celestia and Luna stood before a weakened King Sombra, who was panting heavily due to exhaustion. "You can't beat me! I am the king of the Crystal Empire!"

"Guess you haven't heard the news." Celestia retorted with a smirk before both she and her sister lit up their horn and fired a combined blast at the Dark King. Sombra let out one final scream before he was banished back to the Ether. The two sisters looked at one another before looking around at their surroundings. "They keep coming!"

"This is getting us nowhere!" Luna agreed before spreading her wings. "Come sister, we must come up with a different plan!"

The Solar Monarch nodded before taking flight alongside her sister. The two Alicorns flew over the battlefield, looking for any sign of Twilight and the other Guardians. Just their luck as they found that both the Guardians of the Multiverse and the Elements of Harmony were fighting alongside one another.

Perfect!

They dove down and landed before the two teams. "This is getting us nowhere, we need to get you all to the pyramid. If you keep fighting you'll never make it in time to stop Exiled from destroying the Foundation of all Dimensions!"

"You must take the Elements of Harmony with you! It is the only way to stop Discord!" Luna informed the two teams. "No doubt he and his other cohorts are the last line of Exiled's defense."

Tony looked at the others and nodded, "They're right. We're wasting time out here! We need to get inside now!"

"But how?! There's a bunch of meany-bo-beanys blocking our way in!" Pinkie screeched as she ducked under a stray laser blast.

"Where there's a will, there's a way." Batman said before activating his Comms. "We need a path to the pyramid!"

"We need you all to hold the line out here while we finish this in the pyramid!" Twilight added, hoping that her voice got through Batman's communications.

"Understood!" Optimus' voice sounded off in the earpiece. "We shall clear you a path forward!"

"You heard the Autobot!" Batman shouted, flipping a Soulless One over his shoulder before stomping on its head, destroying it. "Get moving! Go!"

"Aw yeah! Let's do this thing!" RD shouted excitedly as she landed beside her friends, with Twilight standing in between both the Guardians and the Mane 6.

"We finish this together!" Twilight declared before galloping forward, leading both teams through the battlefield. She fired off multiple blasts from her horn, taking out any Soulless Ones that were in their path. From her peripheral vision she could see Rainbow zipping in a zig zag movement, tearing through multiple androids while Sonic turned multiple into scrap with his Homing Attacks.

Batman hurled multiple Batarangs forward while Iron Man flew beside him, launching every missile in his suit to dispel of the enemy forces, leaving room for Mario to leap forward and stomp on a Soulless Lieutenant, crushing it under his boots. He wiped his brow as Applejack jumped over his head and tackled a Soulless One to the ground, stomping on its head with her hooves.

The apple farmer grabbed her rope with her mouth and spun it around for a few seconds before throwing it over another android, pulling it to the ground to allow both Fluttershy and Rarity to get past it. As the two mares galloped, Pinkie Pie suddenly appeared behind a Soulless Commander and slammed a pie into its face, blinding it so Rainbow could tear right through its chest, destroying it.

The Mane 6 looked up to see Celestia and Luna shooting down beams of magical light, turning a whole squadron of Soulless Ones to ash. The Solar Monarch turned down and shouted, "Get to the pyramid! We'll cover you!" Celestia then nose dived down and landed in the middle of another squadron, the impact releasing a burst of solar energy that disintegrated the entire squadron.

They took that as their time to move.

As the Guardians and the Mane 6 rushed to the pyramid, they failed to notice that a few ways away, running alongside them, Optimus Prime was fighting his own battle. He transformed his hands into blades and cut through multiple androids, spinning around and transforming his right hand into a blaster and firing upon any Soulless One in sight, yelling out a battle cry as he did so.

As this was happening Bulkhead jumped through the air and smashed a Soulless Commander while Baymax flew ahead and fired his Rocket Fist, taking out M.O.D.O.K., before darting downward and kicking Zavok down to the ground. As the two teams kept running, they failed to notice Mr. Freeze preparing to fire his gun. Luckily he was stopped by Ratchet, who ran him over while in vehicle mode.

As they moved closer to the pyramid, Twilight's eyes widened as Queen Chrysalis flew forward, hissing as she lunged straight for Twilight. But before she could get any closer she was kicked in the face by Princess Peach, who gave Mario a flirtatious smile before resuming the fight.

The sky was raining fire, at least that's what it felt like as the ramp leading up into the pyramid came into view. Any resistance was quickly stomped out by their teammates. Venom, who lunged for the group was kicked aside by Spider-Man. Lex Luthor was punched out of the air by Superman. Infinite was grabbed by Bumblebee and hurled across the battlefield, where he was then slammed into the ground by Martian Manhunter.

The Guardians of the Multiverse and the Mane 6 rushed up the ramp, taking out any Soulless Ones that stood in their way, before running inside the pyramid.

Celestia landed on the ground and saw their silhouettes fade into the darkness as the doors closed, sealing them within the pyramid. She turned her head to see Captain America and Superman approach her. "They're in." She informed the two of them.

Cap nodded, "Good." He looked to the pyramid, holding his shield tightly. "It's all on them now."

"They'll win." Superman said with a smile. "They have to."

Inside Exiled's Fortress

As Twilight led the group through the empty halls of Exiled's Fortress, she couldn't help the pit that formed in her stomach. It was quiet. Too quiet. Wow, Batman was really rubbing off on her. She looked around, her Element of Harmony glowing in the dark, just as the others were.

The sound of Sonic's voice broke her thoughts, "So? Any idea where the welcoming committee could be?" He asked, referring to Eggman, Bowser, Joker, Ultron, and Discord. They had been absent from the battle outside, which meant that they had to be waiting for them in here.

The last line of defense before facing The Exiled.

"No clue, Sugarhog." Applejack replied, shivering slightly at the cold. "But it's cold enough to freeze the teats off a frog, Ah'll tell ya that."

Pinkie put a hoof to her chin, "Maybe they're planning a surprise party?" She thought excitedly before humming, "But maybe it's a super evil party where instead of hitting piñata's, they instead hit you with a baseball bat. But that's just a working theory."

"I don't think so." Mario shot down with a chuckle and a shake of his head, causing Pinkie to pout before bursting into a fit of giggles.

Rarity made a noise of disgust, "Well, whenever we find them I'll be sure to give them a piece of my mind!" She pointed to the walls and the banners hanging off of them. "This décor is so garish you would think it's Nightmare Night!"

"Nightmare Night?" Batman asked Twilight, unsure of what that was.

"It's pretty much that human holiday you told me about." Twilight answered. "I think it was called Halloween?"

"You got that right." Tony assured her, the lights on his suit lighting up the hallway.

Fluttershy walked beside Rainbow Dash, shaking like a leaf due to the eeriness of the halls inside the fortress. "This place is really scary." She whispered, hiding behind her mane to protect herself. She felt a sense of comfort when Rainbow Dash wrapped her leg around her neck.

"Don't worry, Fluttershy! We've got your back!" Rainbow reassured her childhood friend, to which she got a grateful smile in return.

During their conversation, Sonic began to notice something. They had been walking for quite a while, surely they would've reached the throne room by now? This was suspicious. He had a bad feeling. "Great, now I sound like Bats." He thought before voicing aloud, "Is it just me? Or is this hallway getting longer and longer?"

Upon hearing this, Iron Man stroked his chin in thought. "Hey, you're right."

They all looked around for a moment before the entire hallway began to glitch and morph, causing most of the Mane 6 to yelp in shock. What was going on here? Everyone huddled up back to back as the floor began to fade away, leaving them on a metal bridge over bubbling lava. And at the end of the bridge was the door to the next room, with an axe standing upright at just at the front of it.

Mario frowned, he knew what this was. He'd been in enough of Bowser's castles to know what was going on.

His suspicions were confirmed when the sound of the Koopa King's laughter echoed through the room, causing the Mane 6 to look around all tensed up while the Guardians looked around, ready to fight.

"You guys just don't know when to quit, do you?!" Bowser asked before dropping from the ceiling and landing in front of the axe, blocking their way forward. "If you wanna get to Exiled, you're gonna have to get through me!" He pounded his fists together, grinning madly. "And trust me when I say that none of you are leaving here alive."

Mario groaned in annoyance, taking a step forward to his arch enemy. "Oh, give it a rest, Bowser! We both know how this ends!" He pointed to the axe behind Bowser, "I'm gonna get to that axe and dunk ya into that lava, you'll declare revenge, then we'll do this whole thing over again. It's kinda formulaic at this point."

Bowser growled as he bared his teeth, "I'll show you formulaic! Once I kill them, I'm gonna kill you, and then I'm gonna kill all your friends! And then nothing will stop Peach from being my bride!"

"We'll see about that."

Bowser let out a roar before launching a fireball forward from his maw, causing the group of heroes to spread out so he'd have more targets to fire at, leaving him vulnerable to attack. Rainbow Dash and Iron Man flew around the Koopa King, with the latter firing Repulsor Blasts at the villain while the former simply taunted him, making him angrier.

He fired another fireball at the rainbow maned pegasus, but was halted from firing another one when he was suddenly kicked in the face by Batman, sending him falling to one knee. This gave Twilight and Rarity the chance to fire two beams of magic at his chest, sending him falling on his back.

The Koopa groaned as he opened his eyes, glaring as Mario went to stomp on his chest. But he quickly grabbed the plumber's leg and swung him around, smashing him directly into Sonic and Applejack, before tossing him over the bridge. He would have been toast had it not Rainbow Dash, who caught him by catching him under his arms.

As the two flew back onto the bridge Bowser was busy dealing with Pinkie Pie, who kept popping in and out of nowhere. She appeared on his shoulder, but disappeared when he tried to grab her. She then appeared on top of his head before zipping off. She popped out underneath is legs, narrowly avoiding being crushed by Bowser's foot. She then got in his face and asked, "Hey! Do you wanna see something cool?" Pinkie then zipped upwards as Sonic, who was curled into a ball, came darting toward him.

Sonic slammed into Bowser's face, causing the Koopa to stumble backwards as Fluttershy flew up and got in his face. Bowser was about to bite her head when he found that he couldn't move, he couldn't even stop staring into her eyes, those big, enormous, judgmental eyes. He felt the weight of every sin he'd committed hit him like a freight train.

While Bowser was locked into Fluttershy's stare, Mario rushed forward and shoulder charged the Koopa in the stomach, causing him to double over. Sonic then hurdled over Mario's crouched form and kicked him in the chest, making Bowser stumble as Twilight fired a blast of magic at the Koopa.

Bowser shielded his eyes as Iron Man dove down and socked him in the jaw before flying back up, allowing Batman to charge forward and plant multiple disc-like objects on the turtle's torso. Before Bowser could question it, he was shocked as the gadgets electrocuted him.

Batman rushed over to the other side of the bridge with everyone else, well everyone except Mario, who was still battling Bowser.

The Koopa swung his claws at his rival, missing as the plumber jumped and punched him in the snout before flipping over his head. Mario landed behind him just as he turned around, but was punched in the gut so hard that he was sent flying backwards.

Mario darted forward just as Bowser got to his feet, rushing after him as Mario approached the axe. The plumber leapt forward and touched the axe, loosening it, before it slammed down onto the bridge. The pieces of the bridge then disappeared one by one with Bowser still on it.

He floated in mid air for a second before plummeting down into the lava, landing in it with a splash! He resurfaced, flailing his arms around as he tried to tread in it, but only sealed his fate in the smoldering pits.

"NOOOOOO!!!" Bowser screamed as he began sinking into the lava, glaring at Mario the entire time. The plumber had the nerve to look smug as he peaked over the edge. "CURSE YOU, MARIO!!! CUUUUUUURRRRSSSEE YOOOOUUUUU!!!" Was Bowser's final declaration before he drowned in the lava, his hand being the last thing to sink into the pits.

Mario let out a sigh of relief before turning to his friends, who had looks of shame on their faces. He instantly knew why and reassured them, "Oh, don't worry! He's completely fine!" At their confused looks he clarified, "He's been dunked in lava before and returned multiple times. I think it just takes him out of commission for a bit. He'll be back, he always is."

Batman, glad to have that question answered, nodded. "Understood. Let's get moving."

As the group filed out of the room, Twilight couldn't help but look back before the room closed itself off. She hardened her look and moved to catch up with the others. As she trotted along she noticed that this room was a lot bigger than the previous one, it looked like some kind of arena.

And up above where the entrance to the next room was, a metal bridge with railing protecting whoever walked on it.

"TWILIGHT!!!" She was so caught up in her surroundings she failed to notice the rocket flying towards her. She felt herself being tackled to the ground by Batman, who rolled to safety as the rocket exploded where they were just standing.

"Oh, Batman! We have got to stop meeting like this! Bwahahahaha!!!"

Everyone looked up to see The Joker standing on top of the bridge with a bazooka in hand. He tossed it aside and hurdled over the railing, falling and landing before the group with a smile on his face.

"Wait till they get a load of me!" Joker shouted with a smile before laughing madly, doubling over in laughter as Batman stood ahead of the group protectively.

"It's over, Joker." Batman stated coldly. "You're outnumbered."

Not to anyone's surprise but Joker laughed in their faces, not taking them very seriously. "I usually work alone, but for you I'll make an exception!" He laughed again as something big rose up from Joker's left.

Sonic gritted his teeth as the Death Egg Robot rose from the floor, with Dr. Eggman chortling his iconic laughter from within the mech. "OH HO HO HO HO HO HO!!! Surprised?"

And that wasn't all as Ultron floated down from the ceiling above with his arms folded over his chest. "You puny invaders stand no chance against the might of Ultron. Let alone these two lesser beings. But go ahead and entertain us as everything you know comes to an end."

"Put up your dukes everyone!" Joker shouted before pulling out a purple and green Tommy Gun from behind him, cackling as the heroes prepared themselves.

Joker opened fire as Ultron flew forward directly for Iron Man, with Eggman simply stomping forward in his Death Egg Robot, launching his spiked fist forward at the Blue Blur.

As Iron Man and Ultron met in the middle, Sonic ran around the room to gain some distance from Eggman while Rainbow Dash flew up to the robot's head and bucked it, trying to cause some damage, but ultimately failed in doing so. It simply fired a laser at Dash which sent her flying across the room.

As Mario rushed forward alongside Applejack and Pinkie Pie to give Sonic and Rainbow some help, Twilight charged alongside Batman to take on The Joker, who continued firing his Tommy Gun. The unicorn raised a shield to protect her from the bullets as she ran, while Batman simply timed his movements to get closer to the Clown Prince of Crime.

He threw a Batarang at Joker's hand, causing the clown to loosen his grip on his gun, leaving him vulnerable to being blasted in the chest by Twilight.

Meanwhile Iron Man and Ultron were flying around the room, firing blast after blast at one another to try and gain dominance over the other. Ultron fired a mouth beam at his creator, following the hero as he flew around, his laser unrelenting.

As he flew, Iron Man launched multiple rockets from his back at Ultron. The rockets exploded all around him, knocking back and forth before landing on the ground. He growled and fired a laser from his hand, striking Tony in the chest and sending him to the floor. He quickly got back up and backhanded Ultron away, who had been flying towards him to tear him apart.

While that was going on, everyone else was busy taking on the Death Egg Robot. Pinkie appeared on the mech's shoulder and fired her Party Cannon in its eyes, blinding it, which angered Eggman greatly. "YOU PINK MENACE!" He growled before punching Rainbow Dash, who had been flying around the mech, right into an incoming Mario. Eggman laughed but it was cut short by Sonic, who was blasted into the mech's chest by Rarity and Applejack, the former holding the hedgehog in a curled position with her magic, and the latter having bucked the hedgehog into the mech.

"How's that for a menace, Eggbrain?!" Sonic taunted before curling again and continuously striking at the Death Egg Robot.

"WHY YOU LITTLE...."

The Death Egg Robot took a step forward, causing Fluttershy to quickly dart away beside Rarity, and launched its spiked fists downward toward Applejack, who would've been crushed had Mario not come in and tackled her out of the way.

"I REFUSE TO BE BEATEN BY MULTI-COLORED HORSES!!!"

Back with Batman and Twilight, the latter had just ducked under a knife swing from Joker, who laughed as he squirted acid from his flower at Twilight, who teleported behind the clown and blasted his back with magic. He stumbled forward right into Batman's punch, causing him to stumble sideways, still laughing mind you.

"Bwahahahahaha!!!" Joker cackled as he pulled out three playing cards. "Wanna see a magic trick? HAH!"

He threw the playing cards at the two heroes, causing them to dodge them with timed precession. They were lucky as the cards exploded into green gas behind them. Batman turned around and ducked under Joker's crowbar, which had been swung at his head. Joker brought his crowbar down, but it was caught in Batman's hands.

Joker raised an eyebrow before screaming as he was sent flying across the room by a magic blast from Twilight.

As Joker landed, Ultron was being dragged through the floor by Iron Man, who was pummeling his corrupt creation with his fists. Ultron caught his fist and released a burst of power from within himself, sending Iron Man flying through the air. The A.I. took off into the air and unsheathed his claws and tore at Iron Man's armor, but not before being blasted back by multiple Stark Mines.

Ultron crashed to the ground, his body having taken some damage. Normally he would've transferred to another body by now, but due to that virus Stark and Hiro placed in him, he was confined to this body permanently. "I'll send you to Hell, Stark!"

He fired another mouth beam, which was met by a Unibeam from Tony. The two beams collided and created an explosion that sent them both flying across the arena.

Back with Sonic and the others, the hedgehog was currently running circles around the Death Egg Robot with Rainbow Dash, distracting Eggman as Mario leapt into the air and punched the mech in the face, his mighty strength causing the mech to stumble back and create a dent in the metal.

"GAH! YOU MOUSTACHED LITTLE...."

He went to launch another fist, but it was halted by Applejack's lasso, which wrapped itself around the mech's arm.

"HOW DARE YOU!" Eggman bellowed. "RELEASE ME, YOU FILTHY WORM!"

"HEY, EGGMAN!"

Eggman turned to see Sonic and Rainbow Dash headed straight for him.

"TASTE THE RAINBOW, FATSO!!!" Rainbow shouted as both she and Sonic tore through the Death Egg Robot's chest, ejecting out the other side of it flawlessly.

"NO! NOOOOOOO!!!" Eggman howled as the robot began to explode and fall over.

As the robot fell, Ultron got to his feet and glared at Iron Man hatefully. "Y'know with the benefit of hindsight--" He was cut off as the Death Egg Robot fell on top of him, causing Tony to cringe slightly before walking over to the burning remains.

He noticed Ultron crawling out of the wreckage, looking worse for wear as his faceplate was partially melted off and one of his antennae was torn off. Ultron glared up at his creator as Iron Man aimed his hand directly at his head, intending on finishing this once and for all.

Ultron was beat, and he knew it.

Didn't mean he wouldn't go out with a bang though.

"Hi-ho the me-ri-o
That's the only way to go
I want the world to know
Nothing ever worries me

I've got no strings
So I have fun
I'm not tied up to anyone
They've got strings
But you can see
There are no strings on me..."

Those were the last words Ultron spoke as Iron Man blew off his head with a final Repulsor Blast.

While that was happening Batman and Twilight walked over and stood over Joker, who was struggling to get back up onto his feet. He rolled himself over onto his back and hoisted himself up by his elbows, chuckling and grinning like a mad man.

"Stop me if you've heard this one." Joker began reciting his joke. "Two dead guys walk into a bar--"

A sharp kick to the side of Joker's head shut him up for good, his unconscious body practically dropping to the ground, a smile still plastered on his face. Twilight let out a sigh of relief and turned to Batman, who gave her a tiny smile before turning and regrouping with the others.

"Four down, one to go." Twilight addressed the group, reminding them that they still had to deal with Discord before getting to Exiled.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Sonic asked as he pointed to the door leading into the next room. "Let's juice!"

As the two teams of heroes left the room, they failed to notice Dr. Eggman climb out of the wreckage of his Death Egg Robot. He stood atop the wreckage and dusted himself off, stroking his moustache before hearing one of his lackey bots' voices in his ear.

"Boss?" Orbot's voice sounded off in his ear. "It's ready."

Eggman's grin couldn't get any wider. Finally! It was time for the main event. "I'm on my way."

The first thing Twilight heard when entering the next room was Discord's laughter echoing throughout the room. She and the other Elements of Harmony looked around for any sign of the draconequues to try and stop this as early as possible, but there was no sign of him.

After what he had done to her, Twilight was ready for some payback, the stone kind of payback so that he would never corrupt anyone with his chaotic magic ever again. Sure he had corrupted the Elements before but this time was different, more personal, possibly due to them beating him the first time.

The first corruption had hurt her heart a lot when her friends became the opposites of themselves, but this time it broke her heart, and Twilight wasn't going to let Discord off easy for what he did. She was pretty sure that she hated him, and she never knew she was capable of hating anyone.

That made her even more determined to finish this.

"Show yourself, Discord!" Twilight demanded, her voice sounding off in the empty room. "We know you're here, so just come out and face us!"

"Ask and you shall receive." The mare's yelped at the sudden appearance of Discord's voice while the Guardians steadied themselves. They all turned around to see the draconequues sitting on a chair, wearing a knitted sweater that read 'Celestia Drools', some reading glasses, and was drinking some tea with a raised eyebrow. "Well, well, well, it seems you've fixed your little friendship issue, Twilight. Kudos to you, you made amends with the ones that betrayed you, good job!"

She knew what he was doing. He was trying to get under her skin, but she wouldn't let him. "Your tricks won't work on me anymore, Discord! I've made amends with my friends, and our bond is stronger than ever!"

"Should've learned from last time that you get break our friendship apart!" Rainbow said sternly, flaring her nostrils at the draconequues. "Did you really think we'd let you try again?"

"Kinda." Discord answered honestly with a shrug before standing up from his seated position, his sweater, glasses, tea, and chair all disappearing with a flash of light. "Well that's boring, now I have to think of a new way to manipulate events to get what I want!"

"Look pal, what you did to Twi was messed up." Tony said as he aimed his hands at the villain. "So we're gonna kick your ass for it."

"It's over, you're going back in stone!" Rarity declared.

Discord simply laughed before stopping and staring at them wide eyed, not believing what he was hearing. "Oh wait, you're serious! You're actually going to fight me?! Bahahahahaha!!! Have you forgotten that I'm the God of Chaos?! The embodiment of disharmony?! I'm a literal avatar of reality, you think you can beat that?!"

"Not gonna stop us from trying." Sonic said confidently.

Discord simply stared at them with an arched eyebrow, thinking that they were all crazy, but he shrugged. "Fine." He rotated his shoulders, spat on his hands before rubbing them together, and cracked his neck in a spiral motion before twisting it back around to normal. "It's been a while since I've partaken in a good ole' fashion 'Rough and Tumble', but hey, I welcome it!"

The villain snapped his talons before the room began to shift abnormally, causing everyone to balance themselves as the tiles in the room began to float in mid air, the room becoming a cotton candy colored void. Floating in the void were various sweets like cupcakes, cookies, chocolate milk, and many others.

The heroes readied themselves as Discord began to grow to giant size, chuckling deeply as he did so, before propelling himself further into the void, daring them to chase him.

Batman glared before ordering Twilight, "You girls get those Elements ready. Whatever you need to do to activate them, do it. We'll buy you some time." Leaving no room for debate, Batman took out his Grappling Gun and took off, jumping from platform to platform with the other Guardians following.

Twilight simply looked back at the girls and nodded before closing their eyes, channeling the power of the Elements of Harmony.

Iron Man flew ahead and was the first to catch up to the draconequues, "You know, you're really annoying!" Tony said as he fired multiple Stark Mines at the villain, but they turned into rapid butterflies when they got close to villain.

"That's a matter of opinion, my good fellow." Was Discord's rebuttal, "Most ponies find me quite charming." He summoned a keytar and played a note, sending multiple music notes at the hero, which sent him flying back and rolling across one of the many flying platforms in the void.

Tony slowly got to his feet as Sonic zoomed past him, dashing from platform to platform as he made his way to Discord. He would've made it there too, had it not been for a giant, screaming top hat that suddenly appeared in his path, stopping his movement. It was as hard as a brick wall, but what's worse was when it turned upside down and a crossed eyed version of the blue hedgehog suddenly popped out and backhanded him away.

"HOOBAH DOOBAH!!!" The clone shouted before bursting into confetti, which then folded into paper airplanes and shot forward to the platforms. Each platform they struck exploded into pieces, with Mario and Batman having to move to different platforms to avoid the dangerous projectiles.

"ALAKAZAM!!!" Discord shouted, now appearing in a magicians costume, before firing lightning bolts from his fingertips, electrifying the platforms. "I've always wanted to say that!" While Mario got electrocuted, Batman simply glided off of the platform and flew through the air with Iron Man toward the villain. But when they got too close they were whacked by Discord, who was holding a flyswatter. "Boy, the mosquitos sure are active today!"

He then snapped his paws and several giant cupcakes appeared above the heroes and dropped down like metal anchors. The resulting explosions sent everyone flying through the void as multiple mutant books flew out and tried munching on the heroes.

Batman kicked some away, as did the others, before dropping down and landing on even more platforms. This had to be the weirdest fight Batman had ever been in, and he's fought Mr. Myxlplyx with the Justice League.

"And in today's forecast we're expecting mighty waves of chocolate milk!" Discord announced, dressed in a blue suit with slicked back hair, sitting at a news desk. "Hold onto your hats folks! We're due for a mighty storm of chaos!"

The villain disappeared as a tsunami of chocolate milk washed the Guardians away, sending the group flying backwards as they were consumed with chocolate milk. Once the wave melted away, the Guardians were seen struggling to get back up, much to Discord's delight.

He appeared before them, now back to normal size, and said, "Okay seriously, how did you expect this fight to go?! I'm a literal God! You're just some stupid mortals too big for their britches. Did you actually think that you could beat me?!"

But to Discord's confusion, Batman looked up at him and smirked, "It wasn't our job to beat you."

Discord's smile fell when he realized a certain mare was not among them. "Wait... Where are-" He looked around and froze up when he saw the Mane 6 hovering in the air, a magical aura surrounding them. His eyes shrunk to pinpricks, "...no..." He whispered as they all opened their eyes, glowing white with harmonious magic. Then to his horror the Elements of Harmony lit up and a magical rainbow laser shot out from the group and headed straight toward him.

Discord tried flying away but it was for naught as the rainbow struck him directly in the back, causing him to tense as his body began to turn back into stone. His eyes widened in horror, he was so close to winning! Where did it all go wrong?! What happened?! This wasn't possible, he made sure that they were broken, his plan was fool proof.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" With one final shout of defiance, Discord turned to stone and the entirety of the void was engulfed in a flash of light, blinding everyone present.

Once the light faded and everyone got their sight back they saw that the room had returned to normal. The Guardians looked over to see Twilight and the girls fall on their behinds as they dropped out of the air, still slightly disoriented from using the Elements of Harmony.

But that wasn't the only thing that dropped as Discord's statue dropped in the center of the room with a heavy THUD! His arms were pressed outwards in defiance of his fate and his face was one of shock, unbelieving that he had lost once again.

Once the girls shook off their dizziness, they got to their hooves and approached the statue. While Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and even Fluttershy cheered at their victory, Twilight simply looked at the statue distastefully. If she never saw that draconequues again it would be too soon.

She turned and saw Batman and the other Guardians approaching the group. "That was the last of Exiled's defense. There's nothing after that, it's just him."

Rainbow, the adrenaline still pumping through her body, flew up high and exclaimed, "Well what are we waiting for? Let's get in there and kick his butt!"

"No." Was all Twilight said, confusing the rest of the Mane 6 as to why she didn't want them to come. When Rainbow Dash slowly fell to the floor, her adrenaline now gone, Twilight clarified, "Look girls, this is our fight. The five of us were specifically chosen to defeat Talos and save the Foundation of all Dimensions, therefore saving everything in existence. If you guys come with us we don't know what the consequences will be."

Rainbow wanted to protest but Applejack placed a hoof on her shoulder, silencing her, before turning to Twilight and asking in a serious tone, "Are you sure, Twi? Ya might need our help."

But Twilight nodded with a kind smile, "I'm sure." Was all she said before tackling the girls in a group hug, to which they happily reciprocated. "If something goes wrong, I want you to know that I love you girls." With that said they broke apart and stared at each other before Twilight handed her Element of Magic to Applejack, who accepted it, knowing that her friend wouldn't need it. "Head back outside and help the others. We'll do the rest."

The Mane 5 nodded, agreeing to the plan.

"You got this, Twi!" Rainbow encouraged her friend. "Kick his butt for us!"

Twilight gave them a knowing smile, "Will do." With that she departed and regroup with the other Guardians as the Mane 5 galloped out of the room, making their way back outside to aid in the battle.

Once Twilight caught up with the others, they all stood before the set of two doors leading into Exiled's throne room, where he was no doubt waiting for them. This was it, no turning back now, it was now or never. Time to face the music and stop that mad man once and for all. This was the reason she was chosen, to safeguard all existence and stop the one destined to bring it to ruin.

Now was the moment to prove she was worthy of being chosen.

"You guys ready for this?" Sonic asked, bouncing on the spot.

Mario cracked his knuckles, "More than I'll ever be." He dusted off his cap before putting it back on his head, "First dibs on the big guy."

"Get in line, plumber boy." Tony said, adjusting the gauntlet on his armor.

Batman looked down at Twilight with a look of caution on his face. "What about you? This is going to be the biggest challenge you've ever faced. Are you sure you're ready for this?"

There was only one answer to that question.

Hell yes.

Twilight turned to the door and simply said, "Let's go get him."

Author's Note

Here we go.
