"So, we don't know where that scientist went now. Seems the Biolizard damaged the UNA's tracking software." General Hightop said.

"From what I'm reading from my own sensors, Dr. Krono headed for a field not too far out from the nearest town, and is currently inside of a Rocket. Whatever he's doing, he's getting off the planet in a hurry." Expert said.

"Your sensors are still working? How?" General Hightop asked.

"Rob helped me design them." Expert said.

"Of course he did..." General Hightop said.

"We should worry about Dr. Krono later. He's not a priority." Rob said.

"Yeah. That Condescendence jerk is." Scootaloo said.

Out of nowhere, Jack suddenly showed up in the building. "Jack?!" Rob exclaimed.

"...Seems I'm going to have to take your offer. That jerk of a Dark Master broke into the cottage and took Jill. No one takes Jill and gets away with it. No one!" Jack said.

"Okay, living doll Pokemon is pissed now." one of the UNA soldiers said.

"Well luckily, it seems I've finally got a lead on where Condescending Consequence is." Expert said. "Seems it's not to far into the forest from where The Manipulator was." Expert said.

"You mean he was right there?" Rob asked.

"I'm coming with this time. Hopefully, we can get Jill back and capture this Dark Master alive." General Hightop said.

"That so called Dark Master won't be alive once I got my strings around him." Jack said.

"Okay, the doll is clearly unhinged now." One of the UNA soldiers said.

"Dude, the love of his life was just kidnapped. I think anyone would get unhinged at that." Jester said.

"Yeah, but this is that taken up to an eleven." Aaron said.

"Maybe so, but we can use that." Rob said.

"...Not a bad idea..." General Hightop said.

The entire group reached a new clearing in the woods where The Manipulator was hiding out in. There, they saw the man they had been looking for. Only...he looked less giant then they thought he would.

"Well, I'm surprised you found me so quickly." Condescending Consequence said. "But that's about to me abosutely nothing!" He said before suddenly the ground cracked in a circular motion before the Dark Master suddenly hefted the cracked piece of earth way out into the sky.

"No wonder the Dark Tribe followed this guy; it must be one of those 'the weak follow the strong' scenarios." Zapper said.

Suddenly a giant hand grabbed onto the battlefield.

Another giant hand grabbed the battlefield, before a giant form of Condescending Consequence showed his face.

The Dark Master
Condescending Consequence

The air around them had morphed into some kind of psychedelic background.

"Okay, what is this guy? This is far beyond any sort of Metahuman quility!" General Hightop said.

"This kind of power...it's what that guy that guarded the Warp Zone warned me about: That there are those that dare to try and match the power of the gods!" Rob said. The Dark Master began shooting fire out of one of his hands.

"So, your saying this guy is like some presudo god?!" General Hightop said.

"I think so." Rob said before he focused on the hand that was spewing the fire, causing Condescending Consequence to wince and yell in pain from it.

Next the Dark Master started using lightning attacks from his other hand. "I got this one!" Zapper said, using his own blue lightning attacks to damage the hand.

"And how much you wanna bet..." Rob said before the head of Condescending Consequence started to breath out ice. "HOW DID I SEE THAT COMING? It's like there's a pattern." Rob said.

"Don't care. Allow me." Jester said, using his own ice powers to attack Condescenidng Consequence's head.

"You mean that guy has had ice powers this whole time?! No wonder the HQ felt so chilly despite the thermostat being 78 degrees Fahrenheit." General Hightop said.

"That's how Jester's powers work." Rob said.

Eventually though, Condescending went back to normal size, but was now floating above the battlefield...which itself was now floating in the air!

"Tch. You think I haven't got a few surprises of my own? Check this out!" Condescending Consequence said before suddenly a dark orb is thrown on the battlefield. Before the group's eyes, manifiests...some kind of four legged giant robot.

"Wait, isn't that Dr. Krono's Robo Walker?!" Rob exclaimed.

"It's obviously a clone." Expert said.

Clone Army

The group was able to shred through the Robo Walker with ease.

But that's when Condescending Consequence unleashed a Clone of Jack himself. "What the...I AM INSULTED!" Jack said.

The next clone after that was The Artificial Groudon. "There's even one of this thing?" Throsten said.

But the next clone had Rob suddenly freeze. "No...not that..." Rob said.

"That...looks like some fancy Darkari." Aaron said.

"That's the Ultimate Darkari. So he called himself." Throsten said. "He's the one that had Rob's mother killed." He added.

"So that's why Rob was away for so long..." Expert said.

"Not again..." Rob said.

"It also killed a version of Cresselia." Throsten added.

"I won't let anyone else die to this thing!" Rob said before suddenly one shotting the clone with some kind of laser attack.

"Was that Hyper Beam?!" Rachet exclaimed.

"Enough games Condescending Consequence." Rob said. "I'm going to destroy you to pieces!" He added.

"Wait hang on...I've just realized...how the heck can this platform stay in the air for so long? I know this guy has a lot of power but...this seems much for even Rob's power." Scootaloo said.

"What the heck are you saying?" General Hightop asked.

"I mean this!" Scootaloo said before she flew so fast, she spun the dark master around very rapidely.

But that's when something no one saw coming happened: What everyone thought was some human, was some kind of strange black creature with a lot of machinery attached to it. "Wh-what the hell are we looking at?!" Rob exclaimed.

"I don't know. But it doesn't look friendly. I think it's the true identity of the Dark Master." Expert said.

"No! You saw me?! You saw my true self?! No. I'm not ready for this!" The mysterious creature said before fleeing. It did drop Jilly as it fled.

"Jill! Your okay!" Jack said.

"Jack...whatever that thing was...it's some kind of pure dark monster...I was so scared..." Jill said.

"It's okay Jill...let's go home..." Jack said. "I'm obviously out of my league with that thing anyways." He added.

"We don't even know what that thing was." Rob said. "But I think it's stopped doing bad things for the time being." He added. "But there will come a time when it'll strike again. And I want to be ready." Rob finished.

"We all should be ready." Aaron said.

"Agreed." General Hightop said.

That's when an alert went off as the battlefield returned to the earth.

"What's that?" Scootaloo asked.

"Someone's broken into the old abandoned lab where Project Frankenstien took place!" General Hightop said.

To Be Continued...

Author's Note

So, fun fact with the whole thing with Condescending Consequence really being a mysterious black creature with machine parts attached to it: This is a completely original scene. As in this sort of reveal did not exist in the original lore. But seeing that a common trope is that the MLP:FiM characters are able to see past magical disguises, I decided to include that here since I liked the concept so much.

Also the fight with Condescending consequence was going to have an additional phase, but I figured that with the creature's true identity revealed and promeptly fleeing because of it, the fight got cut short one phase. But obviously, this is not the end of that thing. Besides, we've got lots more to cover in the meantime.
