Most of the group was waiting outside of the new mobile base while Rarity had on some swimwear. She was tapping her left hoof frantically and impatiently while she had an impatient look on her face. "Come on Rarity, didn't you once tell me that patience is a virtue?” Sweetie Belle asked her older sister.

“Not if we’re losing our light!” Rarity said impatiently as Manny walked out.

“We’re not losing the light. It’s eight in the morning.” Manny pointed out.

“He’s right. The beach will be open all day.” Celestia assured. “We have plenty of lights. I should know.”

“You’re right.” Rarity said calmly before she snapped. “Get a move on!” She exclaimed as the others flinched at her outburst as Delta drove the mobile base right next to them.

“Geeze, take it easy, Rarity.” Delta said with a brow. “The new mobile base takes time to get used to. She got these new details I haven’t figured out yet.”

“Yeah, and we’re just five minutes behind. You’re being more like Twilight when she’s behind schedule.” Spike commented while Twilight raised a brow.

"He's not wrong." Starlight told Twilight.

"Hey, I'm just as excited to go to the Crystal Water Beach as much as the next pony, but aren't you being a little impatient?" Trixie asked Rarity with a brow.

"Look, I just want to get there before something happens.” Rarity explained.

"Like what, what could happen on such a fine day like this?" Blitz asked when he walked out of the mobile base.

“Hi, Blitz.” Ruby said with a wave, which Blitz smiled sheepishly and waved back.

“Incase you forgot what we told you about our last summer vacation, whenever we go somewhere, something always happens to us.” Rarity said to them. “Monster on the loose, old enemies returning, meeting new enemies, alien invasion…”

“Sometimes it rains.” Pinkie commented.

"I'm serious about this!" Rarity snapped at Pinkie. "I just want one, one, normal summer day where we can just relax for a change! No aliens, no monsters, no fighting! Just a nice quiet time at the beach so I can relax."

"I'm afraid that's not going to happen." Delta side of when he walked out with a hologram tablet. “I just got a message from the Plumbers that we're going to be expecting some company."

“Oh, dear.” Rarity muttered with her ears dropped.

“Now?” Helix asked in surprise. “What kind of visitors are we expecting, Dad?”

"Well, the first one is going to be Pierce and his team as they've been assigned a very special assignment.” Delta told them which got Helen excited.

“My brother is coming?!” Helen asked excitedly as she ran around Delta. “He’s coming here! Oh! That’s great! I can’t wait to introduce him to all of you! Especially you, Helix!” She said as she rushed up and gave Helix a tight hug.

“Good to know.” Helix grunted with a strained smile from Helen’s tight hug.

“So who is the other part of the group?” Manny asked while Fluttershy petted Zed.

“Well, judging from what the message just said, I think we’re about to see both groups right about--” Delta said as a blue flash appeared in front of them, revealing Pierce, his team which is two aliens in Plumber gear, and two white aliens with blue clothing, a female and a male, while the female is holding the pod. “Now.” He said in surprise.

“Wow, that was fast.” Dust commented.

"It is a very important assignment." Xylene mentioned.

“Pierce!” Helen cheered as she rushed up to her brother and gave him a surprise hug, which he caught with a smile.

“Good to see you too, sis.” Pierce said with a chuckle. “Still as fast as I remember.” He commented before seeing Manny. “Manny, what’s up bro?” He asked as he and Manny shared a fistbump.

“Doing fine man.” Manny said with a smile.

“And how are you girls doing?” Pierce asked Lolaxx, Zs’Spooky, and Attea.

“You know, doing fine and all, going on adventures and kicking bad guys butts.” Attea bragged.

“Of course.” Pierce said before seeing Helix and the rest of the group. “And you must be Helix and his friends they’ve talked about so much.” He said as he walked up to him. "They talked a lot about you."

"Nice to meet you too." Helix said with a smile. “Helen mentioned you a lot and really missed you." Celestia then approached the two aliens in blue robes with a smile.

"It's a pleasure to meet you both, welcome to Equestria." She greeted with a bow.

“Greetings.” The male blue robe alien said with a bow. “I am ambassador Zaw-Veenull, and this is Cicely, from the planet Lewoda.” He introduced her with a smile while he gestured to the female. “We are seeking Helix Watch, the protector of this planet, bearer of the Omnitrix and the one who defeated Vilgax the Conqueror."

"Present." Helix called out as he raised his hoof.

“We hope you will undertake a delicate mission with the Plumbers on our behalf.” Zaw-Veenull said to him. “Only the legendary Helix Watch has the reputation and skills to accomplish it.”

“Really? Wow, I didn't know I was a legend.” Helix said in awed.

“Looks like words spread out to the galaxy after we took Vilgax down.” Rainbow commented.

"You said it." One of the Plumber Cadets spoke with a female voice.

“You must help the Plumbers deliver this treasure so that peace may rain between the Lewodans and our foes, the Pantophage.” Zaw-Veenull said while gesturing to the container sphere Cicely was holding with a frown.

“Treasure?” Spike asked.

"What kind of treasure is it?" Sunburst asked them with interest as he pushed up his glasses. "Some sort of intergalactic space crystal?"

"Oh no, something much more valuable." Zaw-Veenull replied before Cicely pressed up on the pod and it opened up.

It is revealed to be a baby Lewodan that is floating in the air giving a cute sound with a cute smile. The group looked surprised while the girls cooed at its cuteness. “Aw! It so cute!” Fluttershy cheered with sparkles in her eyes.

“It’s so adorable!” Twilight added with a wide smile.

“Allow me to present, the Tiffin, our crown prince if you will.” Zaw-Veenull introduced as Tiffin floated towards them.

“Crown prince?” Applejack said in surprise.

“Now there’s a surprise.” Blitz said.

"You wished us to deliver your son?" Luna asked Cicely in surprise with a brow.

“I wish to not to, but I had no choice.” Cicely said sadly.

“Is this a hostage exchange?” Starlight questioned with a brow.

“Hostage? Oh, no, nonono!” Zaw-Veenull told her. “It is simply a show of trust. To demonstrate our sincere desire for peace with the Pantophage.” He said as Tiffin floated towards Misty and Helix as their Omnitrixes started frizzing out with sparks, which shocked them. “Isn’t that right, Cicely?”

“Yes, of course ambassador.” Cicely said sadly before they noticed Helix and Misty looked at their watches.

“Is anything wrong, Helix Watch?” Zaw-Veenull asked as they turned to them.

“Uh, no. We’re good.” Helix said as he looked at his watch and shook it a bit.

“Excellent.” Zaw-Veenull said as he put out a small yellow cube. “This credit cube is for your expenses.”

“How would a cube help us out?” Apple Bloom asked before Lolaxx walked forward and inspected it as she smiled.

“This is a gold cube!” Lolaxx said with a smile. “I heard about it but I have never seen one before! These are very rare, they don’t have any spending limit. Pay anything you want in the entire galaxy!”

“You mean we can buy any treats in the galaxy?!” Pinkie asked excitedly. “Amazing!”

“Well, we are honored to help, but how are we supposed to take the Tiffin where he needs to go?” Twilight asked them as Fluttershy held the Tiffin in her hooves.

“Yeah, the Omni-Copter is great to fly around the world, but it’s not built for space travel.” Looma said to them. “I knew I should’ve had my dad install a hyperdrive.”

"That's where we come in." Pierce spoke up. “We got transportation already covered." He said as he pressed a button on his gauntlet, which revealed a giant transportation ship in front of them as the door opened.

"We're supposed to fly in that thing?" Scootaloo asked as Looma looked it over.

"Huh, a Tachyon 9-30. One of the best ships. Ugly on the outside, but all great and engine on the inside.” Looma inspected. “The outside is to keep unexpected visitors from noticing an important cargo from being transported.”

“Whoo! Space trip!” Pinkie cheered as she entered the ship.

"Just one day…" Rarity groaned in frustration. "Can we not have just one day?"

“Sorry, Rarity. But you can’t have it all.” Applejack said with a smirk as they all went into the ship.

“Don’t worry, ambassador. We’ll get the Tiffin to his destination. You have my word.” Helix promised as they all started entering the ship, but then both Omnitrixe’s started sparking up again as they entered the ship with Pierce and the two Plumbers.

Soon, the ship was flying across space while the Tiffin was cooing and flying around. “I have never been in space before! This is so amazing!” Twilight said in awed while looking out the window.

"Yeah, I fly high, but not this high!" Rainbow mentioned with a very excited grin.

"Okay, it should take us a bit to get to where we're going." Pierce informed the others. "So we can just sit back and relax until we get there."

"I really don't get why they asked for so much protection just for a prince." Manny mentioned as the Tiffin floated around.

“The ambassador didn’t tell us the whole story.” The second plumber with a male voice said to them.

“Wait, you mean he didn’t tell you anything?” Dust asked in shock.

“Nope.” The female Plumber said.

“And you think it’s right to use a baby as a peace treaty?” Starlight questioned with a brow.

“Cicely surely was sad to see her baby being taken away.” Luna noted.

"She did look very worried about her son." Celestia mentioned as the Tiffin flew around Helix and Misty.

“Hey, kid, we can’t play right now.” Misty said gently as their Omnitrixes sparked up again.

“What is up with these things now?” Helix asked as he tapped his Omnitrix as the Tiffin flew close to him as he felt a shock. “Ow!”

“You okay?” Misty asked before she felt the shock from her watch as well. “Hey! What gives?!”

Just then, both Omnitrixes glowed as the two were caught in a flash of lights. Helix resembles an orange and white bipedal tiger with one black claw coming out of each wrist and no tail. He is also muscular and has green eyes and black stripes on his shoulders, head, legs, and upper body as well as a white jaw, neck, chest, stomach, hands, and feet. His Omnitrix is on his chest.

Misty had an alien similar to Helix’s, hers have a more feminine appearance and breastbone showing with her body in a slight curve while her Omnitrix symbol was on her chest while her fur was white.

Both of them shook their heads before they both growled. “Rath!” Helix exclaimed as he grabbed his chair and tossed it away as it smashed into a corner.

"Fury!” Misty called as she stabbed the chair she was sitting on with her claws.

“Helix?!” Button asked as they turned and saw Misty and Helix transformed. “Misty?!” Tiffin floated above the two cat aliens as it gave a whimper before Rath gave a mighty roar at him. This caused Tiffin to hide in the shelves while whimpering in fear.

“You dare scare a baby?!” Fury yelled as she then tackled Rath.

“You wanna fight me, cous?! Let’s go!” Rath yelled as he tossed Fury across the room right at the control console.

Fury got up and glared as she growled. “It’s time for payback!” She yelled as she and Rath charged at each other. "Fury pile driver!" She called out as she piledrived Rath to the ground.

He quickly got up and grabbed her from behind. "Tedraman suplex!" Rath shouted as he jumped up and slammed her right into the ground, damaging the ship more.

“Okay, you two need a time out!” Flash called as he turned to Twilight. “Twilight, knock them out!”

“I’m on it!” Twilight cried as she focused her magic and shot at the two alien cats’ heads, trapping them in a bubble as the two struggled to get it off.

“Time out?!” Fury questioned. “No one can stop us!”

“We’ll show you that nothing can beat us at-- Did we just use up all our air?” Rath asked with a frown, feeling light headed.

"We did…" Fury told them before their tongues hang out of their mouths when they lost consciousness.

Soon, Fury and Rath regain consciousness as Tiffin floated above them. But when he saw them come to, Tiffin screamed before flying off behind Fluttershy. “Helix? Misty? Can you understand us?” Smolder asked them casually, which caused the two to growl at her.

"Let me tell you something, Smolder the Dragon, one of the many students of the school of friendship and pupil of Hope, we completely understand you! Do you think we're idiots?!" Rath shouted at her as he was struggling to move his arms.

“Yup. Thick as a brick.” Gallus smirked.

“You wanna fight?! You wanna fight?!” Both Fury and Rath yelled as they roared at Gallus, who kept his smirk as the two cat aliens turned and saw them tied up in magical ropes.

“Not helping here, Gallus.” Silverstream said with a look at her as Dust and Delta walked forward.

“Calm down, kids. We need you both to listen.” Dust said calmly to them.

“You both had just transformed into Appolexians.” Delta said to them. “We researched them on the A.L.D.B.”

“Huh?” Both Fury and Rath asked while some others gave confused looks.

“The Alien Lifeform Data Base.” Xylene translated. "The Appolexians are powerful, argumentative, extremely aggressive and believe that any problem can be solved through violence."

"Not true, sometimes punches!" Fury shouted.

“A lot of punches!” Rath added. "Sometimes you have to hit things a lot!"

“And sometimes they’re not too bright.” Pierce said as Fury and Rath growled at him. “And sometimes their cat-like nature kicks in like growls.”

“But wait, when they transform, they still act like their own personalities.” Ruby said with a confused look.

“Yeah, how come these forms made them have the personalities as giant cat wrestlers?” Blitz asked with a confused look.

"It might be their DNA that's causing their personalities to be like this." Lolaxx said with a thought. "I'm going to have to contact Azmuth and Zenith about this, but what really bugs me is that they should have timed out by now."

“What are you talking about, Lolaxx, sister of Myaxx and my girlfriend?!” Rath questioned.

“Uh, it’s been over 20 minutes. Usually the Omnitrixes would’ve timed out by now.” Lolaxx said to them.

“Weird.” Smolder said with a brow.

“Okay, we’re going to let you two go, but you have to stay calm. Control your anger. No stomping or fighting.” Twilight said firmly as Rath and Fury nodded as she released them.

“Perhaps if you two reboot the Omnitrixes, it might transform you back.” Helen suggested.

“Okay, but not because you told us too!” Fury told her.

"Okay, reboot." Rath said as they both hit the Omnitrixes but nothing happened. "Reboot!" They hit them again as they were starting to get furious.

“They’re busted! Come off us!” Fury yelled as she and Rath both started tugging their Omnitrixes from their chests.

“Helix! Misty! Stop!” Manny yelled as Fury and Rath flung themselves up and fell down as they all looked down before the two cat aliens got up.

“Anybody hungry?” Rath asked with a smile.

"I'm starving!" Fury shouted with a grin.

Soon, they parked at a space station that was closed by as they entered and saw many aliens eating what appears to be a bar of some kind while Tiffin was hiding in his pod while Xylene carried him. “Wow, that’s a lot of aliens.” Pinkie commented.

“An alien hangout?! Awesome!” Rainbow cheered in excitement.

“Remember, we’re on a schedule.” Twilight said firmly as she contained her excitement as they entered the bar.

“What for?” Rath asked.

"The delivery, the peace treaty to stop a war, remember?” Tempest told him with a brow.

“Whatever.” Fury said as a butler robot was passing by. “Hey, food robot.” She said as she and Rath walked after the butler robot.

"They're heads are in their stomachs at the moment right now." Pierce mentioned. "Let's just get some food and then head back to the ship. And whatever any of you do, do not mention the Tiffany to any of them."

“Don’t worry, brother. We’re keeping it low.” Helen assured her brother with a smile.

“But still, these guys would definitely kill us if they knew we had the Tiffin." Delta whispered to them as an alien walked up to them.

"Delta, long time no see." The alien said as they saw him as some sort of lizard-like alien with six arms and a sharp tail at the end.

“Hey, Valdor, how have you been?" Delta greeted with a small smile.

“Oh, you know. Here and there.” Valdor said with a shrug. “I also have rumors that you were promoted to Magister. Congrats.” He said with a smile.

“Yeah, well, being a Plumber is important.” Delta said with a shrug before Valdor turned and saw Dust and the rest of the group.

“Dust. Xylene.” Valdor said simply.

“Valdor.” Dust and Xylene both said in the same expression.

“Awkward.” Sandbar commented to the others, who nodded in agreement.

"So, what do I owe the sudden visit?" Valdor asked with a brow. “Just so you know I didn't do anything wrong, lately."

"It's a little Mission we're doing, top secret.” Dust told him with a firm look.

“Something that you shouldn’t know about.” Xylene said.

“Okay, I’ll bite. What is going on?” Twilight asked in confusion.

“And how did you three know this guy?” Flash asked in confusion while gesturing to Valdor.

“Valdor was once a friend I knew back in the day before we became Plumbers.” Delta said to them. “We used to chat and come up with ideas together.”

“But when we joined the Plumbers, we found out that he was smuggling alien tech to either gain money or for his own personal need from across the galaxy.” Dust said while giving Valdor a glare.

“We caught him every now and then, but clearly he still has business to run.” Xylene added with her arms crossed.

"Oh come on, it's about your little present you got for your birthday?" Valdor asked with a shrug. “Because I was planning on giving you a better gift."

"Just back off." Xylene told him with a look.

"Okay, okay, message received." Valdor said as he started to walk away but only went around the counter. He then lowered himself so they couldn't see him before his tail started to extend it out and he could hear what they were saying through his tail.

“Wow, that guy was a little intense.” Ruby commented.

“We were lucky that he didn't know of our precious cargo.” Tempest said.

“You mean Prince Tiffin of Lewdons that we have to deliver to stop a war to go into a peace treaty?” Pinkie asked all of a sudden as Valdor widened his eyes when he heard what she said.

“Pinkie!” They all whispered harshly to the pink earth pony

“Can’t you even whisper that part?!” Pierce questioned.

"The Tiffin is very valuable, like very, very, valuable and this place is filled with alien thugs." Pierce whispered to her. "Last thing we need is them at our throats just to get it."

“Oooh, whoopsie.” Pinkie said with a sheepish tone.

Valdor gave a smirk as he reached up his communicator on his wrist. “Hey, it’s Valdor. I know I owe ya and you’re looking for me. But I got a tip that will make you square again.” He said with a smirk.

"What's taking our food so long?" Rainbow asked impatiently.

“Yeah. I don’t want to be here any longer.” Applejack said with a suspicious look while keeping his sister close to her.

"Oh come sis, we're just getting food at a bar." Apple Bloom pointed out. "What could happen?"

Then suddenly, two aliens with blasters came out from the front door. “Okay, if y'all wanna stay alive, don’t any of you move.” One of them said with a look as the aliens around the canteen gasped.

"Wait, that's the Veetle Brothers?" Delta mentioned with confusion.

“Veetle who now?” Scootaloo asked in confusion.

“That’s right. I’m Octagon and this here is my brother Rhomboid.” Octagon said.

"Sup?" Rhomboid. "People call me Boid."

"But you two are like the worst criminals in the universe, like you're very bad at your job.” Dust mentioned. “Like for example, the last time we saw you, you ended up blowing up your own ship with you both inside."

“Wait, they blew themselves up?” Sweetie Belle asked in surprise.

“How are they alive if they did that?!” Tender Taps asked.

“The explosions happened on a fairly regular basis.” Octagon said to them. “We are might what you call clones.”

"Clones, that's a thing?" Twilight asked them.

“Mmm-hmm.” Boid said with a nod. “Our folks used a home kit to make us.”

“Boid.” Octagon started.

“They bought a lot.” Boid continued.

“Boid.” Octagon said a bit loudly.

“It was on sale, what would pass the ‘the best if used by’ date. Spoiled I guess is what you called…” Boid said before Octagon stopped him.

"And it's a trade secret that we don’t talk to strangers or the Plumbers, Boid." Octagon reminded him with a brow.

“Oh, that’s right.” Boid said with a nervous chuckle as he scratched his head. “I forgot.”

“Now hand over the Tiffin so we can hold him for ransom.” Octagon said firmly, which shocked the group.

“How did he…” Delta started before he growled. “Valdor.”

"You do know it's not going to happen." Celestia told them as some of the young ones stood behind the grown ups while the others ready their weapons.

"Then we got ourselves a little disagreement." Octagon said as he and his brother ready their blasters.

“Um, maybe we should give them the Tiffin.” Blitz said nervously before Ruby elbowed him. “Ow!”

“Not right.” Ruby said firmly.

“Let me tell you something, Blitz!” Rath spoke up as he and Fury came in with their trays of food. “Nobody is giving nobody nothing!”

"Yeah, and no one interrupts us eating!" Fury shouted at the brothers.

“Are those Appoplexians?” Boid asked his brother in surprise.

“Yep. And they're even stupider and meaner than we are.” Octagon told his brother. “We’re gonna need what you might call an edge.” He added as he turned to the crowd. “Listen up! 1,000 credits for anyone who might join up with us!” He declared as the aliens around the ball stood up and ready their weapons as they looked at the heroes.

“Oh dear.” Celestia muttered.

Now they’re making this interesting.” Discord said while eating some popcorn.

"Kids, stay down." Applejack told her sister and the other six. "Things are about to get ugly."

“Aw, but we can help.” Cozy said to them as Fury grabbed a robot and tossed it at Boid, knocking him down as Fury and Rath charged at the other aliens coming at them.

“Finally, some action!” Rainbow cheered as they all started fighting the aliens.

“Protect the Tiffin!” Pierce called out as he and the two Plumbers armed their blasters and started firing.

"Don't let them have the Tiffin!" Delta called out as Looma slammed to alien heads together before throwing them at a bunch of them.

“Oh, I’ve been waiting to fight someone!” Looma said with a cheered before she grabbed two more aliens and spun them around over her.

"It did feel like we were getting sluggish!" Attea called out as she flipped over a couple of aliens before blasting them in the back.

“Well, compared to Equestria, this is an upgrade!” Helen called as she used her speed to knock some aliens away.

“But we obviously never lost our touch.” Zs’Spooky said as she used her arms to shock a few and put them out cold while Zed started attacking the aliens and knocking them down.

"Heads up!" Tempest held the Tiffin before tossing him to Twilight, who caught it before she was grabbed hold of.

“Hey! Put me down!” Twilight called before she was thrown from the counter and across the room, which made Flash angry.

“No one messes with my mare!” Flash yelled before he flew in at high speed and tackled the alien across.

Twilight got up as she groaned before she saw aliens charging up at her. “Dust! Catch!” She called before throwing Tiffin to Dust before she flew up as the aliens crashed into one another.

"Manny, the Tiffin!" Dust called out as she tossed the Tiffin over to him.

“I got him!” Manny called as he caught the Tiffin before seeing Octagon pointing a blaster at Fury and Rath. “Helix! Misty! Behind you!” He called out.

But when the two Appoplexians turned, Octagon blasted at them, which he smirked before he gasped in shock when he saw that other than making a crater and burning the food to a crisp, Rath and Fury were unfazed. They both looked at their food as they growled in anger. "Let me tell you something, Octagon Veetral, you've gone too far!" Fury shouted.

“A man’s food is his castle!” Rath added.

“I believe what you’ve done there is mixing you’re what you might call metaphors.” Octagon corrected before Fury and Rath tackled him down. Boid saw his brother in trouble as he was about to kick them off, but Fury pounced him down while Rath held up Octagon. “This gonna hurt I suspect.” He said a bit nervously.

Soon, the Veedle Brothers were then tossed from an airlock and into the void of space. “Well, that didn’t work out so good.” Boid said before he and his brother froze in the vacuum of space.

The group soon went to the door as they saw both Rath and Fury still fighting. "Misty, Helix, we're leaving!" Ocellus called out.

“Come on! We were just getting warmed up!” Rath called before they were dragged off while the fighting continued while Valdor watched them go.

Soon, they were back in the ship while Fury opened up the Tiffin’s pod. “You’re a lot of trouble, you know that?” Rath questioned as Tiffin whimpered sadly as Fury elbowed him. “Hey!”

“He’s just a baby! Don’t upset him!” Fury snapped before she closed Tiffin’s pod as the other watched as the two Appolpexians started eating some food that was caught on their fur during the fight.

"Wow, it's like when they were little all over again.” Dust whispered to the others.

"Now thanks to Valdor, they know about the Tiffin and will be gunning for us.” Delta complained.

“Guys, this is serious. What if Misty and Helix are stuck like this forever.” Xylene stated.

“This is so not like the time when Helix went as Greymatter for a whole day.” Helen said in concern.

“This has happened before?” Pierce asked his sister in surprise.

“Long story.” Zs’Spooky said before their ship shook. “Oh, now what?!”

Soon, some laser shots were being fired as a ship came up from the side. “Greetings, Equestrian forms…” Soon the monitor showed an Incursion. “This is Commander Zanfroid.”

“You’re my species! An Incursion!” Attea said in shock and a bit of anger.

"They related?" Button asked with a worried tone.

"None…" Attea growled, “Here’s the thing, some of us Incrusions like to be peacekeepers while some of us love war. Either on other planets or each other to an endless meaningless fight.”

“It’s true. We just can’t get enough of this stuff. It’s what we live for.” Zanfroid said with a smile.

“And I guess you know about the Tiffin!" Attea shouted at him. "You know we're not going to give it to you!"

“Sounds about right. So prepare to be boarded then killed. Nothing personal, I'll let your father know that you fought well.” Zanfroid said with a smirk before the transmission was cut.

“Geeze, that’s reassuring.” Attea growled.

"I'll handle this!" Rath shouted before he started walking to the door. "I'm coming over to them!"

"You're going to need a space suit!" Twilight called out.

"I got one!" Rath shouted before he turned the dial on his Omnitrix to activate the Omni-kix armor. His armor resembles an armored/robotic version of Rath with white, black, and dark orange armor designed to resemble tiger stripes, green details, and three white claws on each of his wrists. His face is covered by an orange helmet with green eyes.

“No fair! I want to fight!” Fury yelled.

“Yeah, well one of us has a space suit, so I’m gonna fight!” Rath snapped as he exited the airlock.

“The Omnitrixes won’t let them time out but Helix can still use his armor?” Fluttershy asked in surprise.

“That’s a bit strange.” Spike commented.

“Very strange.” Yona said while scratching her head.

Onboard, Zanfroid’s ship, he heard crashing and smashing sounds and grunts going on in the hallway from his throne room as he walked up and peaked through the window and saw some debris flying around with his troops floating around lifelessly as well.

This shocked him before giant claws were piercing the doors, cutting it open before Rath kicked it down as the sucktion of space was heard as he walked towards the commander. “Okay Incursion Commander Zanfroid, I’ve beaten everybody on this ship but you! We can fight or you can go!” He warned.

“Frigbit.” Zanfroid said with a nervous look.

Soon Rath returned back to the ship before he turned the dial on his chest to deactivate the armor. "So how did it go?" Tender asked him when he returned to the bridge.

“I talked to him. He said we can go.” Rath said naturally as Tiffin cooed with a smile. “Okay, don’t get all emotional.” He said before the ship started firing at them again. "Incursion Commander Zanfroid lied!"

"Let me at the controls!" Attea shouted as she took the controls and started steering the ship. "I'm putting us in high gear!" She said as she made the ship go faster, which made those who didn’t took a seat were pushed back by the force.

“Engines full!” Zanfroid ordered as his ship went turbo fast after them as they started firing on their ship.

Attea then noticed a swirling vortex. “A black hole! Sweet!” She said with a smirk.

“No, not sweet!” Twilight exclaimed. “As much as I want to see a black hole, this isn’t what I have in mind!”

“We’ll be sucked in, Attea!” Ruby exclaimed.

“No we won’t, but they will.” Attea said as she picked up the speed again, but she quickly moved the ship around as they took off at high speed while they felt their bodies being pushed back by the force.

Zanfroid and his ship weren't lucky as they were being sucked in. “I really hate her. Just like her father.” He said before he and his entire ship was sucked into the black hole completely.

A bit later, Fury and Raph were sound asleep after escaping the Black Hole as Tiffin was using his tip to tickle their noses. After a few moments, they got annoyed. “What is it, Tiffin?!” Fury questioned as the Tiffin gave a cooed.

She then pulled on the bottom of the Tiffin, which made the Tiffin jiggled when she let go. Fury did again with a chuckle. “I guess you are--” She started before she noticed the others' amusing looks before Fury grabbed Tiffin and hid him behind her back. “What?”

“We got good news and bad news." Delta told them. "The bad news is that the engines blew when Attea did that little stunt back there." He said as Attea gave a sheepish shrug.

"The good news is that we have just enough energy to get to the nearest planet to make some repairs." Dust added with a smile. “And it's a tourist trap, so we can relax for a bit."

“Finally, a place where something won’t kill us.” Rarity said in relief.

“What kind of tourist trap is it?” Twilight asked.

They soon landed on a planet where a bunch of different aliens were having a good time, and there were some aliens that looked very familiar to one alien in particular. “Oh, I remember this planet.” Looma said in surprise with a smile.

“You know this place, Looma?” Smolder asked in surprise.

“My aunt took me and my cousin to this planet because she said that sometimes a warrior needs to relax now and again." Looma said with a warm smile. “Very unique, and very fun place here."

"Why do those aliens look similar to Arctiguana?" Cozy asked while pointing at a couple of aliens in different colors that looked similar to Arctiguana.

"That's because we're on his home planet." Delta told her.

“Really?” Rumble asked in surprise.

“Oh, yes. This is their homeplanet after all.” Looma said with a smile.

“But they’re cold like aliens. I thought they would live somewhere that is more chilly.” Scootaloo said with a brow.

“Hey, I don’t mind. I’m a living heatsource after all.” Blitz said with a smile.

“Oh, they have the polar peaks from the north and south of the planet.” Looma said with a smile. “We’re just in different elements of the planet.”

“So basically, the elements of the nature of this planet?” Flash asked with a brow. “Interesting.”

"And while the repairs are being made, we can relax here and have fun.” Pierce mentioned. “Like having a good time at the beach."

“Finally! We can have fun at the beach!” Rarity said with a huge smile as if her prayers were heard.

“Ah! Water! I hate water!” Rath complained.

"Me too!" Fury shouted with her arms crossed.

"Oh yeah, Appoplexians can't swim." Xylene mentioned.

“They are part cats, so it makes sense.” Fluttershy said.

“Oh, don’t worry. There are other things than the beach here.” Looma said with a smile. “You two can check them out.”

“Sure! Come on, cous, let’s go explore!” Rath said as he and Fury walked off.

"Some of us better go with them and make sure they don't wreck anything." Twilight mentioned with a concerned look.

“We’ll go!” The CMC, Button Mash, Cozy, Tender Taps, and Rumble said with their hooves raised.

“Absolutely not!” Both Applejack and Rarity told them.

"And the reason why is because they're big alien, easily triggered, tigers." Rainbow pointed out.

"I'll go with them just to make sure." Looma volunteered. "It would be nice to see how this planet is doing."

"So, shall we enjoy the beach now?" Rarity asked as she was already in her swimwear.

“Where did she even…” Looma tried to asked.

“Don’t question it.” Rainbow advised as they then spread out.

Soon, the group were now at the beach with their swim wear while most of them are either at the water while the rest are relaxing on the sand. “Now this is better.” Luna said with a relaxed smile as she took a sip of her drink.

“Indeed, Luna. It was what I asked for.” Rarity said while trying to get a tan while wearing sunglasses.

"May I offer a drink, mama?" An alien offered Rarity.

“Just water, please.” Rarity said with a smile.

“Right away.” The alien nodded as he gave Rarity a cup of water.

"You guys have got to try the local delicacies here, they're good!" Pinkie told them with a mouth full of food.

“Uh, no thanks. I prefer normal food for our standards.” Twilight said with a cringed look.

“But you have to admit, this place is the nicest planet we ever came to. And the first.” Flash said with a smile.

“Yeah, I guess that’s true.” Twilight said with a smile as she scooted close to her coltfriend.

"Hey guys, check out all these awesome souvenirs!" Rainbow called out with some souvenirs.

“Where did you get those?” Applejack questioned with a brow.

“I had them from the gift shop over by the snack bar.” Rainbow said while gesturing to the two stands. “Seriously, this place is great!”

“Remember, this is only a stop while the ship is undergoing repairs.” Delta said to them. “Best to enjoy while you can because we still have a mission to complete.”

“Yeah, yeah, Delta. We get it.” Manny said while doing some stretches. “But please, this is the best one we had so far. What the worse that could--”

“Don’t!” Spike exclaimed, startling Manny. “Just don’t say it.”

"Yeah dude, every time one of us says that sentence, something bad happens." Gallus told him. "Just think it, don't say it."

“Um, if you say so.” Manny said with a weirded out look. “I wonder how Looma and her group are doing with Helix and Misty.”

As it turns out, they were in some sort of big mushroom part of the planet as they were looking at a few paintings that were drawn on some trees. The aliens were making the paintings with their own unique little fluids. “Okay, that’s just gross.” Sweetie Belle said with a cringed look.

"But the artwork is pretty nice." Button Mash mentioned.

“This is where they take the unique landscape of the plant and paint them with their own fluids.” Looma said with a smile. “And yes, it’s a bit disturbing, but the artwork is beautiful to the right details. Just don't breathe too much of the fumes in.”

“Why?” Scootaloo asked before some of the fumes squirted on her face as she coughed. Before she knew it, the fumes got to her head and the images on the wall started moving in her own head. "Whoa…the pictures are moving…"

“That’s why.” Looma said as they continued forward as Fury and Rath got bored.

“Oh, there’s nothing to punch here.” Rath complained.

"Or even fight…" Fury added with her hands on her hips.

“Which is a good thing for us.” Rumble said to them. “Better than nearly getting blasted into space.”

"Helix Watch, is that you?!" They heard a familiar voice called out before they turned and saw Volcanus.

“Oh no.” Apple Bloom muttered as Flury growled with a glare.

“Yeah, so?” Rath questioned with a look.

“So what happened? You set the Omnitrix to ugly?” Volcanus joked as he gave a laugh. “You set the Omnitrix to ugly….” He laughed as Rath and Fury extended their claws.

“You know him?” Looma asked in surprise.

"Volcanus tried to blow up our planet with Sixsix by using element X, and failed!" Fury growled.

"What is he even doing here?" Cozy asked.

“Let me tell you something, Volcanus!” Rath yelled as he ready his claws, but Looma stopped him.

“Easy, Helix. Don’t do anything rash.” Looma said gently to him.

"Look, I'm just here for a nice little vacation." Volcanus told them as an alien approached him.

“Mr. Volcanus, I got that crate of element x you asked for.” The alien told him, which made him flinch a bit.

“Really? On vacation?” Fury questioned as her claws were kept as she clenched her fists.

“Uh, a little, um… side job I’m uh…” Volcanus stammered as he saw their glares. “Um, I mean, uh…”

"Can I beat his butt again?!" Rath asked as he cracked his knuckles.

“Yes. Go nuts.” Looma said with her arms crossed.

“I like to see him get beaten up.” Scootaloo said excitedly.

“This could be good.” Button said with a chuckle.

“Fine by me! Let’s get him, cous!” Rath called with a grin.

“With pleasure!” Fury yelled as she and Rath charged at Volcanus and they started fighting him.

“This is just like one of those dreams I had where everypony you know was in it and they all wanna hurt you.” Cozy commented.

"Wish there was popcorn." Apple Bloom mentioned as they watched.

Soon, Fury and Rath slammed their claws down, creating a shockwave that sent Volcanus flying before crashing into the ground before they held him up. “You’ve ruined my whole operation!” Volcanus roared.

“True, but we actually had a bit of fun for once.” Fury said with a smirk.

“And kicked some butt.” Rath added. "And now, we're going to destroy that creative element X stuff." He then looked at the alien Volcanus was working with.

“Uh, it is just over there.” The alien said nervously while pointing to the crates full of Element X.

“Thank you.” Looma said with a smirk.

Soon, Rath, Fury, Looma and the children all walked out back to the others by the beach. “Oh, there you all are.” Delta said with a smile. “We were wondering where you all went. We haven’t seen you for a while.”

“Oh, we had a little fun in the painting mushroom area, but ran into an old friend of yours.” Looma said with a natural smile.

“Who was it?” Xylene asked.

“It was Volcanus. Try to get more Element X, but we kicked his butt.” Rath said with a smirk as he smashed his fists together.

“Volcanus was here?!” The group who knows Volcanus all exclaimed in shock.

"We took care of him." Fury told them with a smirk.

“Okay, are there any other villains that are around?!” Applejack questioned as Sixsix was closed by, but when he heard what Applejack just said, he backed away and hid out of sight. “And you kids were near Volcanus?!”

"We just watched, and a word of advice, don't breathe in the painting's fumes." Scootaloo replied. “Trust me.”

This made them confused before Looma spoke. “Long story.” She said before Delta’s watch beep.

“Well, I just got word that the repairs are done. So we better get going.” Delta told them.

“Aw, can’t we stay a little longer?” Rarity complained.

“Rarity.” Dust said firmly.

"We still have a peace treaty to make for another planet.” Twilight reminded her. "Maybe we can come back here on the way back."

“I’m okay with it.” Rarity said as she then stood up.

A bit later, the ship exited hyperspace as they orbited around an orange planet. “Well, there's the Pantophage home planet.” Pierce said to them with a smile. “Our final destination.”

“Now this has been a long trip.” Helen commented to her brother before she noticed the Tiffin looked a bit worried. “Hey, what’s wrong little guy? Don’t worry. You’ll be okay.” She assured him with a smile.

“I have an incoming signal. From the planet Lewoda.” Dust said in surprise as she pressed a button before Cicely appeared on hologram.

"My dear Tiffin, I just wanted to tell you how proud I am. Of what you're doing for our planet and our people." She told her son before she looked towards the others."Please, I beg of you, do not give my son to the Pantophage."

"Hang on, you came to us, okay!" Rath shouted at Cicely. "We didn't ask for this job, but like it or not, we're going to finish this job!"

"You didn't need to be so harsh about it." Trixie told Rath.

“No. He is right. It is as it must be.” Cicely said sadly as they entered the planet before making a landing in front of a palace as most of the buildings look like baked goods.

"Wow, this place looks sweet." Pinkie commented.

“Don’t even think about it, Pinkie.” Twilight warned as they walked up to the palace gates, which opened to reveal a giant bloated red alien with chiefs making something as they walked in front of him.

“I am Jerit. King of the Pantophage.” Jerit said to them.

“That is one fat alien.” Rainbow whispered in surprise.

"We have brought you the Tiffin, in sign of its species in hopes of peace for both species." Delta told Jarit.

"Let's just get this over with." Rath said as he took the pod from Dust and approached the king. "And here it is!"

"And I thank you for your trouble." Jerit said with a smile as he reached down and picked up the pod. The Tiffin got one last look at Rath as he cood with a pleading look.

“Sorry little guy.” Rath said as Jerit took Tiffin away.

Jerit then placed the Tiffin on top of what looked to be a cake when one of his chefs came over. "There, isn't that lovely? He asked before he quickly took the cake and quickly ate both it and the Tiffin. The others had their mouths opened with shock as Rainbow Dash, Tempest, and Luna felt light-headed before they fainted and fell to the ground.

"D-Did you just eat him?!" Fluttershy questioned him in shock.

Jerit licked his fingers. “Yes, I did.” He said with a glee.

“We thought you were gonna keep it!” Rath shouted.

“We thought he was a peace offering!” Fury shouted next.

“Yes. Well, he was all that, plus a rare delicacy. That’s what piece offering is here, on my planet.” Jerit said with a smirk.

"Rath, Fury…" Fluttershy spoke with a bit of anger in her tone. “Sick him…"

"Good, because eating babies is not cool!!" Rath shouted before he activated his Omni-kix armor just as he and Fury jumped onto Jerit's face.

They forced his mouth open. “Hang on, Tiffin! We’re coming!” Fury yelled as she and Rath dived down into his throat. Jerit was shocked before he bulged his cheeks as his stomach moved around before Rath and Fury smashed through the teeth as they landed on the ground with Tiffin with them, who is covered in saliva while giving cooing sounds. “Yeah we know. We felt the same.”

Jerit licked his broken teeth before he glared at them. "How dare you! Certainly you realize that this means war!" He threatened as Rath glared at him through the suit.

"One sec." He told the others before he jumped right onto Jerit's face again. "Let me tell you something, Jerit of Pantophage, me and my cousin just jumped on your throat! If you start a war with Lowdens, I'm going to do it again, only this time I will knit your intestines into a sweater!" Rath roared before he jumped down to the others as Fury rubbed Tiffin before Rath gave Jerit a growl, which made him flinch in fear.

Soon, the heroes exited the palace as they walked towards their ship before a pod similar to Tiffin’s appeared before Cicely and Zaw-Veenull came out as Tiffin squeaked happily and floated to his mother. “My son, alive!” Cicely cheered happily as her son flew around her. “It’s a miracle!” She cheered in joy.

"We're happy to help." Twilight mentioned before she frowned. "Although a little warning of what he was going to do with the kid would have been nice."

“What do you mean?” Zaw-Veenull asked in confusion.

“Did you know that Jerit was going to eat the Tiffin?” Fluttershy asked with a glare.

This made Zaw-Veenull a little nervous. “Well, I wasn’t sure exactly, but…” He started.

“You weren’t into the full details and just going to give Cicely’s son away without even knowing the consequences?” Luna questioned with a glare.

"Well I--" He was going to say before Rath pulled him in by the collar.

"Never, talk to us, again." Rath growled with a threatening tone.

Zaw-Veenull nodded nervously as Rath put him down before Cicely walked up to him with her baby. “Thank you, Helix Watch. Thank you all.” She said with a smile as Tiffin cooed happily as the three went into their pod and they took off.

Soon as they left, the two Omnitrixes started sparking before Helix and Misty finally timed out after a few sparks. “Helix! Misty! You’re back!” Flash said as he hugged his cousins with his wings.

“Yeah. As soon as the Tiffin left, we went back to normal.” Helix said with a smile.

"Looks like he was interfering with our watches somehow.” Misty said with a shrug. "Gotta say, those aliens were so… so angry."

“Good guess.” Discord said as they all turned to him.

“You mean you knew?!” Celestia asked with a glare.

“Well, I wasn’t sure exactly, but it was a hunch because well, Lord of Chaos.” Discord said with a shrug as they all gave him a look.

“Helix, I believe he would like to have a word with Rath on the way back." Celestia said as Helix already activated his Omnitrix.

"Already on it." Helix growled as he programmed Rath and slammed down on the core. “Let me tell you something, Discord the Lord of Chaos!" Rath roared.

“Please don’t.” Discord whimpered, seeing that he’s in for a long talk and beaten all the way home.

Author's Note

Here's some information from the ink tank about both Rath and Arctiguana's home planets:

And here is what the Omni-kix armor for Rath looks like and the abilities that come with it:

POWERS AND ABILITIES
● Omni-Kix Rath retains all of his regular counterpart's powers but enhanced to greater levels
● Instead of the single claw of his regular counterpart, Omni-Kix Rath has three retractable claws on each wrist, with each claw being incredibly sharp
