Chapter 7: The Battle Between Hot and Cool

The sweltering glow of the sun-beam scorched the landscape of Cyberspace as the group trudged toward the distant spire emitting the destructive light. Spike, in his sleek humanoid robotic form, whirred softly as he hovered alongside the kids as Twilight and the girls were scanning for potential traps or enemies.

They have their weapons out in case anyone bushes them.

Button Mash has game-controller like gauntlets, the CMCs have ray blasters that fires binary code energy, Diamond has a digitized sets of Tiara sets that are to be used as shurikens, Silver Spoon’s glasses are upgraded with heat vision beams, Snips and Snails have their feet become magnetized boots for smooth impact for pinning down any minion or enemy. Button Mash walked alongside Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, Silver Spoon, Diamond Tiara, Snips and Snails, their medals faintly pulsing with an eerie red glow.

The momentary calm shattered as the medals emitted a sharp alarm. Everyone froze.

“What now?” Rainbow Dash grumbled, hand poised over her blaster.

Twilight tapped her medal and a holographic image projected above it. Two menacing viruses materialized: the fiery, malevolent grin of Daybreaker and the shadowy, piercing gaze of Nightmare Moon. The group stiffened as the viruses’ booming voices filled the air.

“Well, if it isn’t our meddlesome little heroes,” Daybreaker sneered, her flaming mane flickering menacingly.

Nightmare Moon smirked. “We have a special message for you. Look who we’ve captured.”

The hologram shifted to reveal the CEO of CyberLab Industries and a group of scientists shackled and trembling inside a dark, pulsating prison of digital energy. The sight made Fluttershy gasp and Pinkie Pie’s usual cheeriness vanished into a grim frown within her armor.

Daybreaker continued, her voice dripping with malice. “Here’s the deal: surrender now and let Cyberspace burn to ashes. If you don’t… well, let’s just say these humans won’t have much time left.”

“Tick-tock,” Nightmare Moon added, mockingly. “We’d hate for their fates to be on your conscience.”

The hologram fizzled out, leaving an uneasy silence.

Rarity wrung her hands. “This is dreadful! If we surrender, we’re dooming everyone, but if we don’t…” Her voice faltered as she glanced at the children, her expression torn.

“We’re stuck between a rock and a hard place,” Spike muttered. “And I don’t like it one bit.”

Twilight’s brow furrowed. “We can’t let them win, but we can’t just sacrifice innocent lives, either. There has to be a way…”

“Maybe there’s a way to do both?” Sweetie Belle’s voice cut through the heavy atmosphere.

Everyone turned to the young Crusader, who was standing by Scootaloo and Apple Bloom. The trio exchanged determined looks, then motioned for the group to gather.

“We have a plan,” Scootaloo said.

Apple Bloom nodded. “It might sound a lil’ crazy, but it’s our best shot.”

The Rainbooms and their allies listened intently as the three kids laid out their strategy. The CMCs’ plan was daring, risky and a little reckless—but the more they explained, the more it started to make sense.

“Are you sure you kids can handle this?” Twilight asked, concern etched across her face.

“We’re sure,” Sweetie Belle replied firmly. “We’ve faced tough stuff before and we’ve got all of you to back us up.”

Button Mash chimed in, his game controller gauntlets powering up. “I’m in, too. They won’t know what hit ‘em.”

“Count us in!” Diamond and Silver replied in unison, with Snips and Snails nodding.

The group exchanged glances before nodding in unison.

“All right,” Twilight said, a spark of determination returning to her voice. “Let’s do this. But remember: we only get one shot, so we have to make it count.”

As the team sprang into action, the weight of the decision ahead lingered in the air. The sun-beam blazed hotter, but the light of hope began to shine brighter in their circuits. Whatever challenges lay ahead, they would face them together—and they weren’t going down without a fight.

Sometime later, they made it to the viruses’ lair and were ready to put the CMC’ plan into action.

The Rainbooms, Starlight and Trixie call upon their cyber weapons.

“Transport, Cyber Weapons!” The Equestria Girls yelled, then they pushed their belts and activated their weapons. Whenever they are wearing the armor, it makes their weapons are even stronger than ever and giving the weapons powered up looks:

Trixie Lulamoon = digital wand that can freeze any enemies in her way.
Starlight Glimmer = a freeze ray gun.
Rarity = a digital whip.
Pinkie Pie = Megaman-style arm cannons.
Fluttershy = a whistle that’ll call the digitized animals to aid in battle.
Rainbow Dash = a jetpack with cannons that blasts fireballs at the enemy.
Sunset Shimmer = a magic staff.
Applejack = a glowing lasso that dissolves any enemy she catches with it.
Princess Twilight Sparkle & Sci-Twi = a visor that can detect any of the enemy’s attacks before the enemy makes its moves.

The kids, Button Mash and Spike hide in the lair as the girls battle Daybreaker’s minions.

Then, they started to fight the viruses. Sci-Twi used her geode’s power to freeze time to manipulate the demons, while Rainbow Dash used her superspeed with her jetpack cannon to blast the demons, while Applejack used her glowing lasso combined with her super strength to pummel these humanoid fire demons. Sunset used her magic staff with a mix of her karate moves including her geode power to create powerful attacks. Rarity used her digital whip and her magical geode shield to create powerful bigger shields to defend her friends from the virus demons. Fluttershy used her whistle combined with her geode power to summon the digitized animals.

Everything went according to plan for our heroes, until the viruses keep multiplying!

“Huh?! No way!” Rainbow yelled.

“It looks like the minions are multiplying even more!!” Sci-Twi responded.

“Fools! You are clearly no match for my minions! Why don’t you surrender?” Daybreaker smirked as Nightmare Moon nodded.

Within the viruses, Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna were begging their students to not give in. As they did so, their faces appeared on the viruses’ bellies.

“Whoa!” Rainbow Dash shouts.

“Oh, my…” Fluttershy whispered.

“Don’t listen to them. They’ll fry up Cyberspace if you surrender.” Principal Celestia warns.

“Those viruses can be tricky.” Vice Principal Luna continues.

“Enough!!” Daybreaker screams as Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna were knocked out in their bubbles within the viruses.

The teens look at the CEO and scientists of CyberLab, who were shaking their heads no.

“Fine, we surrender.” The Rainbooms, Trixie and Starlight replied in unison.

“Oh, I knew you would all come around.” Nightmare Moon said, releasing the CyberLab people out of their prison.

The kids know just what to do. They all pop out in pyramid formation with Spike at the center.

“What?!” Daybreaker shouts in shock.

"Leave Cyberspace alone, you creeps!” Diamond said.

“Yeah.” Snips and Snails replied in unison.

“What are you brats going to do about it?” Nightmare Moon asks.

“This!” The CMCs and Button Mash answered. The CMCs have connected their ray guns to Button’s gauntlets. Diamond stored her tiara shuriken stars in the gauntlet and Silver Spoon took off her heat-vision powered glasses and placed them on the gauntlets. Snips and Snails’s boots add some magnetism that pulls their weapons together in one giant cannon.

“Uh, oh!” Daybreaker screamed in worry as Nightmare Moon gulped.

With a magnetic surge and a trigger pull, they fire discs of binary code with sharp blades of a shuriken. They all hit the Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker Viruses and they all explode! Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna were free!

The blast also hit the machine, which has the solar ray beam dissipate, turning the sun normal and healing everything in Cyberspace. Everything turned to normal.

The Rainbooms, Trixie, Starlight and robot Spike (who turned back into a dog) stored the particles of Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker in the capsules and the CyberLab personnel have sent those capsules far away out of Cyberspace.

The kids and Button Mash had powered down, back into their normal body size. They still have their armor on, but they have no helmet.

“Woah! We sure look cool!” The CMCs said.

“I couldn’t agree more. You know what? I don’t look silly in Cyberspace anymore!” Diamond said.

“Me, neither!” Silver replied, having her glasses digitized over her eyes again.

“Well, we couldn’t have saved Cyberspace without you all.” The CEO of CyberLab announced. “As a reward for your bravery, you kids may spend the rest of the weekend here so you can do anything you want in CyberCity. How does that sound?”

“Yeah! That sounds great!” Snips, Snails and Button replied in unison.

“Let’s go!” The girls replied in unison.

“Have fun, you guys!” Rarity said as the kids all hug the teens.

“We will.” The CMCs replied to them as they and the kids teleported themselves to CyberCity.

Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna were both confused as to what happened.

“Uh, what exactly is going on?” Principal Celestia asked.

“It’s a long story.” Sci-Twi replied.

“Well, spit it out.” Vice Principal Luna ordered.

“Okay. Here’s how all this began…” Sunset began.

Just over a half-hour later, Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna have learned everything about Cyberspace and all the adventures their students have gone on.

“Woah! That is insane!” Vice Principal Luna exclaimed.

“I know. It sure gets crazy here compared to our world.” Rainbow said. Just when she said that, It is time for the Rainbooms, Trixie, Starlight, Spike, Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna to head home.

“Speaking of our world, darling. I believe it’s time we all go home.” Rarity said.

“Well, we have the whole weekend back in our world, sugarcubes.” Applejack said as she and the teens de-morphed as well as Spike turning himself back into his original form.

“Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s go home.” Sunset said as she and her friends pressed their metals, opened a portal and went through with Spike, Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna following them.

To be continued…

Chapter 1: The Digitzation

Several months ago, the Rainbooms, Trixie Lulamoon and Starlight Glimmer were hanging out at Sunset Shimmer’s place. Sunset was showing the girls her cool new gaming room when, suddenly, a mysterious magical virus appeared and sucked them all into cyberspace.

While they were in cyberspace, the girls had a ton of fun and they even got new cyberspace suits/bodies. But then, they encountered the virus creatures and an evil virus that wanted to take over cyberspace. The Rainbooms, Trixie and Starlight teamed up and used the magic of friendship to defeat the virus. As a reward for saving cyberspace, the King and Queen of Digi-tonia gave the girls digital computer chip medals that they could use to go to cyberspace whenever they wanted.

After their adventure in cyberspace, the girls were happy to be home safe and sound.

…After many adventures, in cyberspace, they gained powerful Cyberspace armor, fought a virus that was possessing a friend and they helped the Shadowbolts fight 2 viruses, with the help of old friends.

But, the cyber adventure isn’t over yet…

It all began when the students of Canterlot High had heard of a new addicting app. It’s like Candy Crush, but it’s all the custom match symbols/icons that the users want to use for their match-3 game.

All the students, including the Rainbooms, Starlight and Trixie already got the app and were playing it nonstop. It was like the talk of the town!

Everyone, except the CMCs, who were jealous that they didn’t get the app for their phones yet, but Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon walks up to them and teases them.

“Man, I wish we had that app for our phones.” Apple Bloom said.

“Yeah. We don’t have phones. We all have jobs and we’ve been working hard to get new phones.” Scootaloo said.

“Same here.” Sweetie replied.

“Ha! Looks like you have outdated phones!” taunted Diamond Tiara. “Lucky for us, we have high tech phones! Right, Silver Spoon?”

“Yeah! Good luck with that!” replied Silver Spoon.

“Why, you…!” Apple Bloom said as she was about to fight Diamond and Silver Spoon.

Snails and Snips had overheard them fighting and had enough. The two boys had decided to stop the fighting by using a rock slingshot to stop the fighting.

“You ready, Snails?” asked Snips.

“I’m ready. Are you ready?” Snails asked.

But instead of rocks, they used small rubber balls to get their attention.

“OW!” the girls yelled as they’re hit with the rubber balls.

“Hey, you guys, what did you do that for? I thought you gave up being bad and doing the pranks.” Scootaloo complained as she rubbed her head.

“You guys need to stop the fighting.” Snails said.

“Can’t you guys just ignore each other and walk away?” Snips said.

“Yeah…” Apple Bloom said. “Thanks for the info, boys.”

“I need the CMC girls, alone, for something important.” Snips instructs Diamond and Silver.

“Well, suit yourself. We’re playing the game.” Diamond said as the duo walked away.

While Diamond and Silver walked away, Snips and Snails had talked to the girls about the game.

“So, you have heard of the new game, huh?” asked Snips.

“Yeah.” the CMCs said in unison.

“Well, we don’t have the game either.” Snails said. “But we know who to turn to.”

“Who? Is it Sunset Shimmer from Shimmercode?” Apple Bloom asked.

“No, a gamer named Button Mash!” Snips replied.

“Button Mash? I’ve never heard of him before.” Apple Bloom asked.

“Same here.” Scootaloo said.

“Who is he? Sweetie asked.

“Meet us in the entrance after school. Diamond and Silver will come with us as well.” Snails whispered.

After school, the 5 girls met at the entrance where the 2 boys were met. Sooner or later, they started to go to the place where Button Mash lives, which is at a mansion. Button Mash’s father has owned a computer/gaming company and has been successful at keeping the business, sooner or later the father would later inherit the company when he retires, for Button Mash, he’s just an avid gamer, child prodigy, coder, inventor, scientist, famous e-sports champion and YouTuber. Button was working on a prototype that wasn’t finished yet. Until he hears a doorbell, realizing that he has guests.

“Hey, Snips, Snails! It’s so good to see you!” Button said.

“Long time no see.” Snips said.

“Who are your friends there?” asked Button.

“These are my friends from Canterlot High.” Snails replied. “This is Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.

“Well, friends of yours are friends of mine!” Button said in a happy manner. “Come on in!”

They went to his house and after a tour of his humble home, the origins of his father’s company, they went in and had some tea and they told Button about the CMCs & the boys’ problem.

“I see. So you 5 don’t have the download of your game..” Replied Button.

“Yeah. Do you have something to show us that could help us solve our problem?” Scootaloo asked.

When he heard this, Button thought about this and gave them a nod. Accepting that he could help them solve their problem. “As a matter of fact, yes. I think I may solve your problem. Button replied. “Follow me.”

And so, the tweens have followed Button to his room, to which they think it’s an ordinary room.

“What are we doing here in your room?” Snails asked.

“Looks bland.” Diamond said in disgust.

“I don’t mind if it’s bland. Why your room?” asked Apple Bloom

“You’ll see.” Button replied as he pulled a towel off its hook on a door and pressed a button on it. Revealing it changes into a futuristic game chamber (complete with game pods for solitary gaming, computers for research purposes, a table that mechanically transforms itself into any tabletop sport he chooses and stuff like that). His walls are very hi-tech (they’re white with computer chip linings)!

“Whoa!!!! Now that’s really awesome!” Scootaloo exclaimed in excitement.

“I just wish Applejack were here to see this!” Apple Bloom said.

“Your room is just like Rarity’s, but more high tech and futuristic.” Sweetie replied.

“Whoa… I take it back!” Diamond replied.

“Same here.” Silver said.

“You really worked hard on your inventions, huh, Button?” Snips asked.

“Yup, all my hard earned work.” Button said.

“Yeah. Now, about our problem…” Snails said as he, Snips and the CMCs held their phones to get the app.

“Okay… But I have to warn you: this is a prototype, so no complaints about phone malfunctions.” Button replied as he grabbed their phones and linked them to his computer to load the new game with the futuristic way of transferring data over to their phones.

Suddenly, everything fizzled and the phones shocked the tweens, which made them drop their phones. The power blacks out, but the screen of Button’s main computer glowed green.

“Hey, what’s going on?! What’s happening?!” Button asked in shock.

The tweens were confused as to what was going on when suddenly, the screen showed them what looked like a screensaver of a matrix code-lined tube.

“What’s the computer doing?!” Snails asked, looking shocked.

“It’s glitching like crazy!” Snips cried.

“Oh, man, let’s get out of here!” Diamond said.

“Yeah!” Silver replied.

“I don’t know y’all, but it’s gonna attack us!” Apple Bloom said, until a stream of light suddenly emerges from the screen, scans and pulls them all in one-by-one!

With that, they’re flying through what looks like a portal of matrix-like code lining the black space environment. The girls were all flailing like crazy, thinking this is like a crazy ride. Button Mash was chill and intrigued. Snips and Snails were yelling in excitement like they were surfing.

“WHOA!!!!!!!” Apple Bloom and Silver Spoon cried, freaked out

“Oh, my clothing would get wrinkly!” complained Sweetie.

“I hate flying through random places!” complained Diamond.

“Hold on, everyone!” Scootaloo yelled.

“Surf’s UP!!!!” Snips and Snails cried in excitement.

While they were flying through the tube, their bodies start glowing a black light (except their heads and necks) as the tube spills out the green digital streaming Matrix codes on the black light as everything was black, causing the tweens to black out and become unconscious after a crazy wild ride from being sucked in the computer screen.

To be continued…

Chapter 2: The Arrival

After a crazy tumble in the hole, Apple Bloom woke up while groaning and got to her feet. “Ugh… What in the world happened? At first, we were at Button’s home, but now where in the world are we?”

She moved around to see that she and the others ended up in a digital dimension where buildings are constructed with neon purple binary code resembling futuristic real world buildings, a sky that is colored pink, a ground that is a glowing green computer motherboard, similar to the green grass and the clouds are dark blue with computer chip patterns on them.

Just then, Apple Bloom noticed something glowing around her whole body. When she looks around, she looks down and sees that her body has changed into something digital: an orange jumpsuit with light up rings that line the thighs, arms, neck and legs, making them resemble digital light-up leotards, digital gloves and digital shoes.

“Whoa! What is this outfit?!” Apple Bloom freaked out after looking at her new cyber body and touching it. “And why can’t I take it off?! When I try to take it off, it feels like it’s stuck to me! Ow! Ow ow ow ow!” She cried as she attempted to take off her suit, but to no use, But before she could freak out any longer, she saw the rest of her friends feeling unconscious and noticed that their bodies had changed, just like her new cyberspace body.

“Hey, guys! Wake up!” Apple Bloom said, trying to wake them up into reality. Moments later, the tweens woke up to see that they’re in Cyberspace. “Where the heck are we?” Sweetie responded.

Their skins are completely fused with cyber jumpsuits that are patterned after their hair colors (except for their heads and necks), just like Apple Bloom (those suits are basically their skin now). They were all impressed about how they looked in their new forms.

Scootaloo - red jumpsuit with dark orange rings
Sweetie Belle - magenta jumpsuit with dark pink rings
Diamond Tiara - pink jumpsuit with purple rings
Silver Spoon - white jumpsuit with black rings
Snips - light blue jumpsuit with black rings
Snails - light orange jumpsuit with dark orange rings

“What the heck am I wearing?! I mean I love pink, but wearing a pink suit! This suit is too tight and it’s showing every curve in my whole body including my belly button! Man, this is embarrassing…” Diamond complained.

“I agree, it feels like we’re clothless!!” Silver screamed. “We gotta take those clothes off!”

Diamond and Silver tried to take off the suits, but to no avail.

“Ow, ow, ow, ow! Okay, it feels like when we try to take it off. It feels like it’s stuck to us!” Diamond cried.

“So that means…” Silver said.

“WE’RE CLOTHLESS!!!!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!” they screamed in unison. They were freaked out as they looked at their bodies and were trying to cover themselves. They were also blushing in complete embarrassment.

“Well, I’ll be amazed at what I’ve become. I feel like I’ve become a superheroine now!” Scootaloo replied as she was looking at her new cyberspace body as she did heroic superhero poses and muscle flexes.

“Whoa… this is amazing. I look so gorgeous!” Sweetie said, admiring her look.

“Hey, you look like a superhero, Snails, but with the outfit.” Snips said.

“But you, Snips. You look like a blueberry!” Snails replied.

Then Snips and Snails showed off their looks and said; “Hey, girls, how’d you like us now?” They show the girls all their curves and belly buttons that are visible due to the tightness of their new bodies, which gave the CMCs, Diamond and Silver expressions of horror.

The girls get disgusted as Diamond and Silver tell them to stop as they start to cover their mouths.

“Oh, guys, that's disgusting.” Diamond complained in disgust, causing her rings to glow green as it spins rapidly and she immediately felt a need to vomit and she did just that! Same thing with Silver.

“Eew.. gross..” Silver complained as her rings were green too as they spin as well!

“Oh, man!” Sweetie complained.

“Oh, guys.” Apple Bloom complained. “Where’s Button Mash?”

“Hey, guys, I’m right here!” replied a voice, who is revealed to be Button Mash.

It appears that Button Mash is wearing a light green jumpsuit with dark green rings!

“Button Mash, is that really you?!” Scootaloo asked in surprise.

“You look more heroic, strong and more cybernetic.” Sweetie said.

“I do, this is my style!” Button said. “I look like a cyborg!”

“Okay, where are we, anyway? Apple Bloom asked.

“I’m guessing, we’re in Cyberspace.” Button said.

“Cyber wha?” Diamond asked, confused.

“Cyberspace, also known as the digital world.” Button explained. “According to my records, there’s a history of strange events that are happening here in Cyberspace. There were 9 girls who are the Rainbooms, Spike and a few other people who stopped a virus that looked like a she-demon from back in the 2013 Fall Formal. They also battled a virus that possessed a human being. This time a 10th one (Sci-Twi) joined, acquired Cyberspace armor and they also stopped other viruses with the help of 5 other girls from Crystal Prep Academy!

“I’m guessing that’s my sister and her friends, including Apple Bloom’s sister.” Sweetie said.

“Yeah, Applejack told me about this.” Apple Bloom replied.

“Mmmhmm.” Button said. “Say, why don’t we explore this place for a while?”

“I’m in!” Scootaloo replied

“Count me in!” Apple Bloom said.

“This is gonna be awesome!” Sweetie cried.

“I just want to get out of here, but how are we gonna get the heck out of here?!” Diamond complained. “This suit is freaking me out!”

“Same here!” Silver said, trying to cover the rest of her body.

“Well, we’re going along!” Snips and Snails said in unison.

“Okay, okay, calm down.” Button said.

The rest of the gang almost agreed and decided to see what cyberspace will have for them. They decide to explore the world and look at the features it has.

The Digital Library
The Digital Art Museum
Cyberworld Mall
Gamestop
The Cyberland Theme Park
The Hideout

The rest of gang were excited as they set their eyes for Cyberland theme park causing their rings glow yellow and thought of going there to see that the park has following activities are available:

an outdoor video arcade that is set up like a VR system (no helmets necessary)
a petting zoo
a giant stage/magic show simulator.
a movie theater
a seaside beach with golden-yellow sand and an ocean of pink neon light water.
a sports/exercise section with a jogging track and an interactive sports court that changes into whichever sport they’d want to play.
a fashion studio
a food truck driven by a digitally generated human boy that resembles Yoshi from Super Mario Bros!

“Man, I can’t wait for the Cyberland Theme Park!” Scootaloo said joyfully, with her rings turning violet, causing her to explode confetti out of her body.

“Oh ho ho! It’s everything I thought it would be!!!!” Sweetie exclaimed.

“You said it!” Apple Bloom responded.

“The Cyberworld mall? Finally, I could use some fashion and a towel or something to cover up these things.” Diamond said, relieved as she still tried to cover her curves.

“You got that right.” Silver replied.

“Heh, an VR arcade, huh? Fits my style, cause’ I’m a professional.” Button said, amazed.

“Cyber Cafe? I wonder why they call it 'Cyber Cafe'?"asked Snails.

“I don’t know. Looks pretty cool. Say, why don’t we go there and grab some grub?” Snips responded.

“Okay, but how are we gonna get to these places? We’re too far from this place.” Scootaloo said.

“Hey guys, look!” Sweetie pointed out.

The tweens and the teen looked at a building that looks like a transportation center, which is the place that could take them anywhere they want to go.

Once inside, they see a series of vacuum tubes that light up and a receptionist desk. The visitor would approach the receptionist, Mr. Porter, who would check them in for a digital vacation. He also hands them all cyber-passes, ID cards that take them somewhere they want to go with a swipe and have them pay for anything they want (as long as they have enough cyber-credits left).

The tweens and the teen walk towards Mr. Porter’s desk. “Hello, fellow humans. I see you're all getting used to the environment in this world,” he said, feeling very welcoming. “It’s been a while since we’ve had guests like these, since those 9 heroes have saved Cyberspace from those evil viruses that want to destroy the place.”

“Nice to meet you too,” They greet back, shaking the guy’s hand.

“Welcome to Cyberspace!” Mr. Porter asked, just in time for a robot to fly in and take a pic of each of the girls. It then prints out cyber-passes for each of them (a picture of the tween and the teen for each card). They realized that they could use them to make their time in cyberspace more luxurious and more interactive.

“Enjoy your stay! And be safe!” Mr. Porter said, kindly.

“Thanks!” The tweens and the teen replied kindly in unison.

With that, they enter their tubes and get themselves ready to go wherever they chose to go. Once they entered, they saw the word “The Hideout” on the wheel.
“Hideout? What does that mean?” Apple Bloom asked in curiosity.

“It might be our home here. We’ll explore it later.” Button explained.

“Well, what are we waiting for? I want to find something to cover myself.” Diamond said.

“Same here.” Silver replied as she and Diamond set their own tubes to take them to the Cyberworld Mall. One swipe and off they went to their destination.

“Oh, why do I have to fly again?!” Diamond complained.

“Oh, come on! This is way better than that portal that took us here.” Silver said, trying to lighten the mood.

“Whoa!” The tweens exclaimed in unison as they looked on in awe.

“Looks like it's our turn then.” The CMCs cheered as they set their tubes to take them to Cyberland Theme Park. One swipe and off they went.

“This is better than a normal horseback ride!” Apple Bloom cheered.

“This is a little too much speed for me.” Sweetie complained.

“What’s wrong with a little speed? It makes it even more fun!” Scootaloo exclaimed happily. Her rings glow yellow and start laughing uncontrollably the whole way to the theme park as she went through a huge magic tickle attack.

“Okay, that was odd.” Snips said, setting his tube to take him to the Cybercafe. Snails did the same thing. One swipe and off they went to get some grub.

“The VR arcade, here I come!” Button Mash said as he swiped his card to take him to the arcade. One swipe and off he went to the arcade.

Meanwhile...

Under the cyberground, there’s a sister-duo of viruses who are coming up with a plan to avenge the previous viruses that got exterminated by the Rainbooms and their friends in the past. One virus resembles human Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon.

“We have to get revenge on those incompetent brats for exterminating our friends!” the Nightmare Moon virus said. “But how?”

It took them time to come up with a plan. Eventually, the Daybreaker virus came up with an idea.

“How about we build a solar ray cannon that we can fire at the sun? When we fire its rays at the sun, it will heat up enough to fry the electronic grid, literally.” the Daybreaker virus explained, laughing maniacally as her fire hair glowed and swayed wildly.

“I love how you’re going with that, sis!” the Nightmare Moon virus replied. “Let’s do this!”

With that, they begin building their cannon.

Later that night...

The sun was setting, which means it’s getting late and the tweens and the teen’s rings started glowing indigo and wristwatches appeared on their wrists.

“Well, it looks like it’s getting late. We better go to the hideout and rest up.” Apple Bloom exclaimed, yawning.

“Yeah, agreed.” Scootaloo and Sweetie replied as the trio head to their tubes, set it to “The hideout”, swiped their passes and they’re on their way to their home.

Over at the Cyberworld Mall, it was closing time. Diamond and Silver bought a towel hoping that they can cover themselves.

“Let’s hope this works.” Diamond said in hope.

“Yeah. We would’ve wasted our cyber-credits for nothing if it doesn’t cover ourselves up.” Silver agreed as she and Diamond went to their tubes, set it to “The Hideout”, swiped their passes and they’re on their way.

Over at the CyberCafe, Snips and Snails were full and knew it’s time to head to the Hideout as their wristwatches appeared.

“I am full! Let’s go to the Hideout. We know the others are there as well.” Snails said.

“Yeah. It’s about time we settle down.” Snips agreed as they went to their tubes, set it to “The Hideout”, swiped their passes and they’re also going to the Hideout.

Button Mash has had enough of gaming and feels like it’s time to head to the Hideout as well.

“I’ve had enough gaming for one day.” he said to himself as he headed to his tube and flew himself to the Hideout.

A few minutes of flying later, they finally arrive at the hideout, which will serve as their temporary home. There are six sections (two that are made to be shared with select visitors).

Apple Bloom: a farmhouse with apple-shaped windows, a rocking chair, a kitchen, a map of the entire Cyberspace world. Her yellow bedroom has a bed decorated with a color palette of apples, a yellow-mattress bed and red pillows and blanket with a red apple headboard, a TV with a customized listing of educational/family/western TV channels and adventure/family films and a cowboy yell alarm clock.
Sweetie Belle: A concert hall with a closet of dresses, a karaoke machine and microphone, a bed with a music note-shaped headboard, a TV customized with family/cartoon/reality TV channels and family/musical films and a radio that is set as an alarm clock using music tracks.
Scootaloo: A gym with a line of skateboards, ramps, a treadmill, a sports bar, a stationary skateboard-designed bed with a football helmet-designed headboard and a TV customized with sports TV channels and action movies and an alarm clock that plays bootcamp commands out loud.
Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon: A shared fashion studio with a runway, a desk for them to catch up on any schoolwork and projects they are assigned from Canterlot High, beds that looks like those from a royal kingdom, TVs that are customized with drama/reality TV channels and drama/fantasy films and alarm clocks that is designed with laser light shows and beeps.
Snips and Snails: A shared man cave with a clean ball pit, rotating platforms, a Chuck ‘e Cheese’s like area, beds decorated with silly graffiti signs, TVs that are customized with comedy/horror TV channels and comedy movies and alarm clocks that play silly sounds and songs.
Button Mash: An arcade that can be changed into a simple futuristic bedroom designed exactly like the one from home, but with Pac-Man maze designed walls, a wide soft mario blocks-designed bed, a TV that is customized with gaming/sci-fi/thriller TV channels and action/sci-fi movies and a alarm clock with Pac-Man theme playing on loop in the morning.

“Whoa! This looks awesome!” the CMCs exclaimed from their own rooms.

“This is exactly what we need!” Diamond and Silver shouted from their shared room.

“Well, we have to take these off and put on something that is more comfortable.” Diamond said, yawning.

“Yeah, agreed.” Silver said as she and her friend pulled on their suits, only for them to yelp in pain.

“OWW! What gives?!” Diamond exclaimed in panic.

“Looks like we have to sleep in this tight suit.” Silver exclaimed, rubbing her arm in pain from all the pulling.

“Oh, man! This is going to be very uncomfortable!” Diamond complained.

“We’ll just have to get used to it. Good night, Diamond.” Silver replied as she got into her bed.

“Good night, Silver.” Diamond replied as she got into her own bed. “Oh, boy. This is SO not in my sleep routine.” Diamond whispered, annoyed before she dozed off right away.

“This is perfect, Snails!” Snips exclaimed from the man cave he’s sharing with his friend.

“I know, right!” Snails agreed.

“Ah, the sweet! This is exactly like my room back at home! Except the walls, but I don’t mind at all!” Button Mash said from his hideout.

With that, lights went out, everyone settled down and went to sleep for the day ahead.

Chapter 3: New Day, New Danger

The next morning, the sun is rising and shines its rays of bright binary code onto the motherboard ground. That means it’s a new day for the Button Mash and the tweens! A network of luminescent circuits stretched infinitely, humming with energy as the alarm clocks have the group stirred awake.

“Rise and shine, cybernauts!” Sweetie Belle declared cheerfully, stretching her arms as her cybersuit rippled with a cascade of magenta. “A new cybernetic day awaits!”

The Cutie Mark Crusaders—Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo—felt rejuvenated while Snips, Snails and Button Mash were equally refreshed.

Diamond Tiara groaned as she sat up, her shimmering pink cybersuit conforming awkwardly to her frame of course. “Ugh, I barely slept. This stupid suit feels like it’s suffocating me! It’s like this suit has no zipper.”

“Same,” Silver Spoon muttered, fidgeting with the glowing black bands spiraling around her white limbs. “I couldn’t get comfortable at all. Why does it have to be so tight without a zipper? I feel like I’ve been covered in a body paint-like suit.”

Button Mash glanced over, puzzled. “What’s the big deal? The suits are awesome! They’re like second skin, but better. It’s like we’re half human, half computer programs.” He swiped his hand down his chest, the glowing light-green bands of his suit rippling at his touch, then did a muscle flex and did some bodybuilding poses. “I don’t even notice it anymore.”

“Well, good for you,” Diamond shot back, rolling her eyes. She stood up, brushing imaginary dust off her thighs. “But I still hate how this thing shows off... everything in my whole body and every part.” She gestured dramatically at herself, the contours of her cybersuit emphasizing every curve of her form. “It’s embarrassing! Don’t even get me started on how itchy it makes my butt look! Thanks to some cyber body paint-like suit!” She turned around, awkwardly tugging at the material on her behind as though to make her point, trying to take it off to no avail. That made Diamond look very embarrassed at herself.

Silver Spoon chimed in, adjusting her glasses while fiddling with the glowing bands on her arms. “She’s right. I feel we need to get out of here soon.” She frowned as she tugged at her own suit with her discomfort written all over her face. “These body curves on this outfit is making me so embarrassed, it feels like I’ve become a clothless cyber person wearing body paint.

“Look! Our towel doesn’t cover us up!” Diamond complained as she and Silver took their towels they bought from the mall to cover themselves, only for the towels to turn invisible. Once they removed their towels, they just turned into normal material again.

Before anyone could respond, the circular rings embedded in Diamond and Silver’s limbs suddenly began to glow orange. The rings spun rapidly and projected their light outward as faint, rhythmic whump-whump sounds filled the air. Pixelated hearts flickered into existence on their chests, beating in time with the noise.

“What the—?!” Diamond cried, staring down at the glowing projection. Her face flushed as she started to sweat, her discomfort amplifying with every passing second. “What’s happening?!”

Silver’s hands flew to her chest, where her own heart-shaped projection pulsed in a garish shade of pink. “Oh, gross! What is this?! Is this a glitch?!” she panicked, her voice rising an octave.

“Calm down!” Sweetie Belle intervened, stepping forward with her hands raised in a soothing gesture. “It’s just your anxiety sensors reacting. You’re overloading ourselves!”

Diamond and Silver both froze, their glowing hearts flickering as they tried to regulate their breathing. After a few seconds of stillness, the rings stopped spinning and the hearts fizzled out of sight.

“Phew...” Diamond muttered, wiping her brow. “That was... disgusting. Do not let that happen again.”

“Yeah, no kidding,” Silver agreed, shaking her head. “But at least I feel better now. Weirdly... lighter?”

Apple Bloom smirked, crossing her arms. “Told y’all you’d get used to it. Cyberspace works in mysterious ways.”

“Now can we move on?” Scootaloo asked impatiently, tapping her foot against the digital ground. “We’ve got a whole cyber-day ahead and I, for one, am ready to explore!”

Diamond adjusted her posture, straightening her shoulders. “Fine. Let’s just get this over with.”

Silver gave a small nod, her discomfort now replaced by a tentative sense of resolve. “I guess... I am feeling more ready now.”

The group reassembled, their glowing suits pulsing in unison as they marched to their tubes that took them back to CyberCity.

Underground, the Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon viruses got their invention ready. It’s a gigantic laser cannon that is loaded with solar energy.

“It’s complete, my empress.” Nightmare Moon said as Daybreaker grinned.

“Excellent! We shall begin phase 2 of our plan: fire the lasers at the Sun! It will fry the electronic grid forever!” Daybreaker laughed maniacally. “Send it up.”

“Yes, ma’am!” Nightmare Moon replied as she stepped on the platform with the cannon and had it rise up with her.

Once above ground, she knows what to do: enter the pin (38961), press the button and it will fire away. She did just that just in time for the cannon to hum with power. A minute later, the beam of solar energy fired out and hit the sun!

“Ha! It works! We shall wait for the right time for those so-called Rainbooms, Shadowbolts and their friends to stop us. They will be vulnerable!” Daybreaker laughed.

Down in CyberCity, the tweens were spending a day at the mall together when suddenly, everything became hot.

“Whoa! I don’t know about you guys, but it’s getting hot here.” Scootaloo said, wiping her forehead.

“Yeah, you’re telling us!” Snips and Snails replied in unison.

“No! Not my hair!” Sweetie complained.

“I can’t believe I’m sweating again!” Diamond screamed, beginning to feel miserable.

“Yeah, you’re not alone!” Silver replied as she felt miserable as well.

With that, Diamond and Silver are already getting the effects of their sadness sensors. Their eyes became as wide as puppy dogs and they pout!

“Don’t worry, we’ll figure out what’s causing this. Until then, we better get back to our hideout.” Button instructed as everyone nodded in agreement. Diamond and Silver’s sensors become stable and their faces return to normal.

They all headed to their tubes and set their destination to “The Hideout”. Unfortunately, once they swiped their cards, nothing happened!

“What’s going on?! Why isn’t this working?!” Diamond screamed as she kept swiping her card repeatedly.

“I’m sorry to say this, but this heat seems to be overriding the transport system!” Apple Bloom explained.

“Well, it looks like we have to walk back to the Hideout.” Scootaloo said as the group all walked back to their cyber home. Luckily, the Hideout isn’t over a mile away. They were already practically there after a few minutes of walking.

Meanwhile, the people of CyberLab Industries were surprised that they got more visitors and they realized that the tweens and Button needed help.

“Sir… We’re picking up new visitors here in CyberCity.” reported an employee of CyberLab to the boss who is the CEO.

“Huh? Where?” the boss asked.

“We’re detecting a group of seven inhabitants from the human world.” The employee said.

“Well, who are they?” asked the boss.

“It’s unknown. It’s a group of tweens and one teenager.” The employee replied. “Also, there’s two disturbances happening here!”

“Well, what is it?” The boss asked.

“It’s a fire-like demon virus, (similar to an Ifrit) and a dark black demon virus causing trouble here in cyberspace, heating up the whole cyber city and I think these seven people might be the cause.” the employee explained.

“Alert Sunset and her friends.” the Boss ordered as he and the other CyberLab employees started to send the signal.

Meanwhile, The Rainbooms, Princess Twilight, Sci-Twi, Spike, Starlight and Trixie were having a decent Saturday. They were hanging out together, bringing their pets with them.

“Man, it sure is peaceful here in the city.” Sunset sighed in relief.

“Yeah, but I’m worried about Sweetie Belle, she’s been missing since yesterday.” Rarity replied, feeling sad.

“Same with Apple Bloom, she’s been missing since yesterday too.” Applejack said, looking worried.

“Oh, they’ll be back soon.” Fluttershy said as she held Angel Bunny.

“Yeah.” Sunset nodded. But before the girls along with their pets and the two Spike counterparts could continue with their weekend, their medals begin beeping and it appears that CyberLab Industries are calling them back to Cyberspace.

“Huh? The medals have never done that before.” Princess Twilight exclaimed.

“Same here.” Sci-Twi said.

“Well, we’d better go to Cyberspace and check what’s going on!” Sunset replied.

Just then, The group all press their hands on their medals and open a portal that they step through with the two Spike counterparts and their pets, the humans transforming into their Cyberspace forms as they go through.

Once they arrived, they find themselves in the CyberLab Industries building where the scientists have something dire to explain.

“We’ve got your message, what’s going on here?” Sunset asked.

“Thank goodness you’re here. We came to tell you about—” The employee said.

“Where is Sweetie Belle?!” Rarity interrupted.

“…and where’s Apple Bloom?!” continued Applejack.

“Well, that’s what we’re here to talk about.” the employee said, as the scientists played cam footage of the hideout where the CMCs, Snips, Snails, Diamond, Silver and Button Mash were (the footage was taken from their first night in Cyberspace)!

“Oh, my goodness!!!” Rarity and Applejack gasped in surprise.

“Those two along with Scootaloo and four freshmen including one teen from our school are in Cyberspace?!” Sunset asked in shock.

“Yup, that’s why we need your help.” The scientist replied. “And that’s not all, there are two viruses that are causing a heatwave here in the city.

To be continued…

Chapter 4: A Digital Dilemma

After realizing what was happening, The CyberLab scientists told the girls, their pets and the two Spikes the story of how Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon viruses came along.

“Alright, since it has come to this, I guess we’ll tell you.” The employee said. “Does the names “Principal Celestia” and “Vice Principal Luna” including “Princess Celestia” and “Princess Luna” mean anything to you?

“Yeah. She’s our school principal in CHS.” Rainbow Dash answered.

“As for Princesses Celestia and Luna. They’re my and Princess Twilight’s former mentors.” Sunset replied.

“Well, it’s time we tell you the story.” The scientist began.

On Friday (the same day the tweens and Button Mash went to Cyberspace), Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna were filing the school’s reports when their phones began buzzing.

“Wait, what the?!” Principal Celestia said

“What’s going on?!” Vice Principal Luna said. “I hope it’s not one of these prank phone calls.”

They pick up their phones only to be met with buzzing as they were confused. Just when they thought it was a prank call, they were about to hang up until their phones gave them an electrical shock that had them dissolve into cubes and pulled through the cameras of their phones!

“WHOA!!!!!” they cried.

While they were flying through the tube, their bodies start glowing a black light (except their heads and necks) as the tube spills out the green digital streaming Matrix codes on the black light as everything was black, causing the two adults to black out and become unconscious after a crazy wild ride from being sucked in through their phones.

Once the principals end up in Cyberspace, they immediately notice that their bodies have changed into cyber jumpsuits.

Principal Celestia - orange jumpsuit with Daybreaker’s face on the belly
Vice Principal Luna - a dark blue jumpsuit and a dark black/purple shirt over it with Nightmare Moon’s face on her belly. Her hair also got a drastic change in color!

They also have collars that have their cutie marks as tags.

“Hey, Luna, are you alright?” Principal Celestia asked.

“Yeah, but where are we and what are we wearing?” Vice Principal Luna replied looking at their new bodies and tried to take off the suits but to no avail.

“Hey, there’s someone on your belly.” Principal Celestia said.

“Yours too!” Vice Principal Luna replied.

Before they could say anything else, a stream of shadows suddenly enveloped them and turned them into the Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon viruses.

“Ha ha ha ha! We’ve picked the perfect vessels for our hosts, two principals!” Daybraker virus chuckled in triumph.

“Now we can start our vengeance for our friends who got attacked by humans from the real world!” Nightmare virus said.

“Wait, who are you?!” Principal Celestia asked.

“What do you want with us?! Just let us go!” Vice Principal Luna cried.

“Sorry, but you’ll be stuck with us for a while.” The viruses said in unison.

“...and that’s what happened. These viruses possessed your principals from your school based on the villains that you, Princess Twilight and your pony friends from Equestria defeated, including Starlight.” The employee explained as the story ended.

The Rainbooms, Princess Twilight, Trixie, Starlight and the two Spikes were immediately scared. Even their pets yelped in worry.

‘OMG…” Sunset said.

“No, way…” Trixie responded.

“I’m guessing that our Principals are in danger from two viruses and the tweens are in big trouble. That explains the big heatwave!” Sci-Twi responded.

“But what about our sisters?! I’m worried for them!” Rarity said, looking worried about Sweetie Belle.

“Same here, we gotta save them!” said Applejack, who is worried about Apple Bloom; they were more distraught.

“You just tell me where these tweens are, including Button Mash!” Rarity demanded.

“I’d be much obliged. Cause, these medals have teleporters that can transport you to your location, which is actually… The hideout! Our scientists have tracked down where the kids are at (in the hideout), locked in the destination on the metals.”

“Thanks.” Sunset replied. “Girls, let’s armor up!”

“Yeah!” Sci-Twi and Princess Twilight said in unison.

“I’m in!” Rainbow said

“Gladly.” Applejack said.

“This is my favorite part!” Pinkie said gleefully.

“The Great and Powerful Trixie is ready for action!” Trixie said.

“I’m so pumped up… for this.” Starlight said.

“Cyberspace Armors of Magic…” Sci-Twi and Princess Twilight said in unison.

“Cyberspace Armor of Loyalty…” Rainbow said.

“Cyberspace Armor of Honesty…” Applejack said.

“Cyberspace Armor of Laughter…” Pinkie said.

“Cyberspace Armor of Kindness…” Fluttershy said.

“Cyberspace Armor of Forgiveness and Empathy…” Sunset said.

“Cyberspace Armor of Justice…” Starlight said.

“Cyberspace Armor of Illusion…” Trixie said.

“ACTIVATE!” The girls yelled in unison.

Then, the girls held their medals, pushing the Cyberspace Armor button, causing a flash of light to appear to engulf them, starting the whole transformation sequence. The pieces of their armor are placed on their Cyberspace bodies/suits, from their feet, their thighs, their hands and all over their cyberspace bodies. similar to that of the Power Rangers/Super Sentai franchise (Time Force, SPD, RPM and Beast Morphers), while Dog Spike has transformed into his robotic form.

They all teleport out to the hideout as the CEO wishes them good luck.

“Good Luck, my friends. Only you can save us.” The CEO said.

At the hideout, the CMCs, Diamond, Silver, Snips, Snails and Button tried to figure out why it was suddenly getting hot but they couldn’t come up with anything.

“Okay, do you want to know why it's so HOT here?” Diamond said. “And do you think it's affecting my cyber body?”

“Summer might have been over, but we don’t know what’s happening!” Silver responded.

“Same here, but what might have been causin’ this?” Apple Bloom asked.

“I don’t know.” Snails responded.

“Me neither.” Snips responded.

“According to my calculations, there’s no info on what has caused this.” Button said.

“If only Rainbow Dash were here, she’d be able to fix this.” Scootaloo said.

“Same as my sister! Then, we’d be relieved to see us come to the rescue.” Sweetie responded.

But before they could talk more, they all see a cloud of binary code to see that the group of ten Armored Cyber Equestria Girls have emerged and landed.

The kids immediately backed away, fearing that they’re strangers.

“Okay, who are you people?!” Apple Bloom cried.

“Are you some kind of mysterious robots?” Scootaloo said.

“What do you want from us?!” Sweetie Belle asked, backing away. “Whatever you do, don’t hurt us!”

“Whoa, Sweetie Belle, you don’t recognize your own sister, huh?” Rarity replied from her armor via the helmet speaker system.

“Yeah, Apple Bloom, it’s also me!” Applejack said, from their armor via helmet speaker system. “And these are our friends, we’re all wearing cyberspace armor!”

“Whoa!!!!” The CMCs said in awe unjust as dog Spike’s robotic form emerged from behind the girls.

“...and who is that little purple/green robot?!” Snips asked.

“Whatever it is, he looks very friendly.” Snails responded.

“Who are you calling a little robot? I’m a dog in the body of a robot that can transform into three modes: a robot dog, a dragon dog and a humanoid robot form mixed with my other forms! It’s me, Spike!” Dog Spike said.

They were all happy to see that someone had come to find them, but there wasn’t time for a happy reunion.

“Alright, It’s time we take you guys back to Cyberlab, cause, the CEO needs some explanation about what happened.” Sunet ordered.

“Why, why do you want to know what has happened?” asked Diamond, looking confused.

Suddenly, the Rainbooms, Trixie and Starlight’s medals project a hologram of the CEO of CyberLab.

“Your medals also have a capture/storage technology. All you have to do is point their medals at those in front of them and have them stored in the void within the medals.” The CEO instructed.

“Hmm? What’s that?” Button asked.

The Rainbooms, Starlight and Trixie began holding their medals towards them. What happened next is a vacuum of binary code and wind that had the tweens and Button Mash pulled into the medals.

Sci-Twi’s medal - Diamond Tiara
Sunset Shimmer - Snips
Rainbow Dash - Scootaloo
Fluttershy - Silver Spoon
Pinkie Pie - Snails
Applejack - Apple Bloom
Rarity - Sweetie Belle
Starlight - Button Mash
Trixie - Princess Twilight and robot dog Spike

“WHOA!!!!!” They exclaimed as they got pulled in.

The kids who were sucked into the medals end up in a storage space of optical disc orbs and rom-drives.

“Okay, where are we and what’s going on?!” Diamond asked. “What is this place?!”

“Don’t worry, everything’s going to be okay.” The mysterious voice said. With that, they all teleport back to the CyberLab Industries building.

Once at the building, the kids are released as well as Princess Twilight and Equestria Spike. The kids were already captivated by the designs.

“Whoa! Look at all the equipment!” Snips and Snails exclaimed in excitement.

“We can’t believe our eyes.” The CMCs said in unison.

“Oh, please. I have seen better. This is like science class. Are we in school?” Diamond snickered as Silver nodded.

“Perhaps I’ll give you kids a tour of CyberLab industries.” a scientist said, just as the kids were ready for the tour of the building.

“We’ll be tour assistants as well.” Sunset said from her armor helmet speaker as the rest of the armored girls and robot Spike agreed.

They were all shown all types of features: the travel tubes, the armor displays, the labs and a digital battle arena simulator. They were all surprised and in awe at each feature of the CyberLab building.

“Whoa! I never thought we would end up here!” Scootaloo said.

“That brings us to our final stop: the main lab. That’s where you’ll go through lab tests and research that may or may not give you cyberspace armor, just like your sisters and her friends there.” the scientist explained as they all walked to the lab where Equestria Spike and the pets were stored.

The kids were already pumped up about joining the girls on their newest Cyberspace adventure.

“We’re in!” The CMCs, Silver and Button Mash cheered in unison.

“It is our first fight against evil! This is going to be sweet!” Snips exclaimed.

“I couldn’t agree more.” Snails replied.

Diamond Tiara was feeling a little nervous.

“Uh, I don’t know. We didn’t exactly sign up for any lab tests.” Diamond whispered, feeling nervous as her emotion sensors acted up.

Her rings glowed orange, spun and her chest has a big pixelated heart beeping to a whump-whump sounds that are filling the air. She is sweating nervously of course.

“Oh, no! Not this again!” Diamond shouts, panicking as the heart begins to beat faster.

“Whoa! Just calm down, Diamond. We don’t want to overload ourselves. Just calm down and think about the armor. Okay?” Silver instructed in a calm manner as Diamond looked at the armored girls and robot Spike as they all nodded, encouraging Diamond to indeed calm herself down.

Diamond has stood still, taken deep breaths and has calmed down, feeling that her sensors are becoming stable again as the heart and sweat begin to disappear.

“You’re right. Let’s go get that armor.” Diamond cheered as the scientist nodded.

“I’m glad to hear it.” The scientist replied.

“Before you all get started, you’re gonna need these.” Fluttershy said as the scientist brought out a line of clothing.

To protect their augmented bodies during the experiments, they were issued sleek black spandex bikinis, a necessary layer to maintain the integrity of their cyber enhancements.

Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Button Mash found the outfits fitting and were ready in no time. They stood confidently, their forms gleaming under the lab’s fluorescent lights. Meanwhile, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Snips and Snails were less enthusiastic.

Diamond Tiara adjusted her bikini uncomfortably. “Ugh, another layer on top of our cyberskin? It’s bad enough that everyone can see every detail of my curves in this second-skin suit!” she groaned.

Silver Spoon sighed, pushing her glasses up her nose. “Agreed. But at least we’re prepared.”

Snips and Snails exchanged awkward glances. “Why do we have to wear these too? We’re boys! This feels...weird, it feels like we’re crossdressing.” Snips muttered.

“Just deal with it,” Scootaloo called over her shoulder. “We’ve got tests to pass and they aren’t going to wait for you to get comfortable.”

Reluctantly, the four sighed in relief while adjusting their suits and lined up with the others as the tests began.

To be continued…

Chapter 5: The Lab Tests

Three-Dimensional Spatial Orientation (Rolling/Spinning Steel Ball Exam)

Scootaloo stepped forward first, climbing into the rolling steel ball. The world blurred as the ball spun rapidly, testing her spatial awareness. She gritted her teeth, keeping her cybernetic enhancements focused and completed the challenge flawlessly.

Motor Reaction and Adaptation Capability (Laser Dodging)

Button Mash took his place in the laser grid. His reflexes were sharp and he dodged each beam with precision. His gaming skills paid off as he adapted to the lasers’ erratic patterns.

Anatomical Stress Resistance (Sudden Loud Sounds)

Diamond Tiara stood in the chamber, her fingers twitching nervously. The speakers blared sudden, deafening noises, testing her ability to endure stress. She flinched at first but steadied herself, determined not to falter.

Field-Motion Recovery (Weighted Chin-Ups)

Apple Bloom faced her challenge with grit, weights strapped to her legs as she pulled herself up repeatedly. Sweat beaded on her brow but she refused to quit, embodying strength and determination.

Panic-Control Reflexes (Facing Fears)

Sweetie Belle entered a holographic simulation of her greatest fear—being abandoned in complete darkness. The air grew cold and shadows whispered around her, but she closed her eyes and centered herself. Her courage saw her through.

Liquid-Immersion Capabilities (Water Tank Survival)

Silver Spoon submerged herself in a tank, her breathing apparatus feeding her oxygen. She moved calmly, her cyber enhancements kicking in to help her resist the crushing pressure of the water.

Horizon-Line Recovery Time (Skydiving Simulator)

Scootaloo returned for the skydiving test. The simulator mimicked sudden fan stops, throwing her balance off mid-dive. She used her enhanced reflexes to stabilize herself, landing perfectly.

Anatomical Flexibility (Flexibility Testing)

Snails groaned as he bent into impossible shapes, the test measuring his body’s range. Despite his complaints, his cyber-form proved resilient, earning him a rare moment of pride.

Disruptive Motor Coordination (Kitchen Simulator with Blackouts)

The CMCs worked together in a chaotic kitchen simulation. Sudden blackouts forced them to rely on muscle memory and coordination, preparing dishes perfectly even in darkness.

Basic Lung Capacity (Spirometry Test)

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon took turns blowing into a spirometer. The results showed impressive lung capacity, their cyber enhancements clearly optimized for endurance.

Environment Resistance (Dark Forest Simulation)

Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon and Button Mash entered the spooky holographic forest. Shadows moved, eerie noises echoed and the temperature dropped. Though hesitant, they pushed forward, proving their resilience.

Body Scan & Lab Tests (Blood Draws, Reflex Test, X-rays)

Finally, the entire group underwent lab tests. The binary code embedded in their blood was analyzed, their reflexes measured and X-rays taken to ensure the cybernetic implants were functioning correctly.

At the end of the tests, the group gathered in the lab, exhausted but triumphant.

“Woah! Unbelievable! Your scores and results are perfect!” The scientist said, reading the results of their exams.

“Really?!” The CMCs exclaimed in surprise.

“We can’t believe it either!” Diamond, Silver, Snips and Snails said in unison.

“I guess my gaming really paid off!” Button Mash cheered.

With that, they are rewarded with their own medals from the scientists as the girls and pets applaud.

“You all did great,” Scootaloo said with a grin. “These tests were tough, but we’re tougher.”

“Yeah,” Sweetie Belle added. “We’re ready for anything now.”

“Uh, yeah.” Diamond said, happy as can be. “Can we take off our bikinis now? They’re getting really tight.” she complained, feeling that her bikini is indeed tight from all those tests as Snips and Snails giggled.

The kids stood tall, their black spandex bikinis gleaming—a testament to their determination and teamwork.

“We’ll teach you how to use your medals, since they are keys to Cyberspace.” Sunset said with robot dog Spike nodding.

Suddenly, everything starts to get hot in the CyberLab building. The kids, Equestria Spike, the pets and the scientists begin sweating while the Rainbooms, Trixie, Starlight and robot dog Spike are feeling fine.

“Uh, how are you all not affected by this heat?!” Diamond and Silver groaned as the scientist took a close inspection.

“Ahhh, their armor must also be shields that offer protection from elemental weather effects,” he explains.

“Yeah. I am feeling as pristine as can be, daring.” Rarity replied from her helmet speaker.

“I can barely take the heat!” Pinkie exclaimed as Rainbow groaned, annoyed by Pinkie’s antics.

It doesn’t last long until the lab starts to glitch up and everything starts to fry up.

“Oh, dear. Looks like you all have to evacuate the lab. Princess Twilight, take your pets and Equestria Spike back to your world. Rainbooms, Trixie and Starlight, store the kids and robot dog Spike in your medals. Me and my employees stay here and I’ll do what I can to fix the place later.” The CEO ordered.

“Yes, sir!” They all said in unison as Princess Twilight powered down, stored all the pets and Equestria Spike in her medal, pressed the button and opened the portal back to the real world as she stepped through with the pets and Equestria Spike inside her medal.

The remaining girls stored the kids and robot dog Spike in their medals as they teleport out of the building.

The CEO and the scientists went to the chamber that provides protection from any damage, kinda like a shelter underground.

“Oh, I hope they could save our world and the electronic grid soon.” The CEO wished.

To be continued…

Chapter 6: Armor Up!

In the hideout, the Rainbooms, Trixie and Starlight who are still in their cyberspace armored form teleported back. They released the kids and robot dog Spike out of their medals and they were relieved that they didn’t have their circuits burn down.

“Whew. Looks like we didn’t have our circuits blown down!” Scootaloo said.

“Well, that means, we’re okay!” Apple Bloom responded.

“Yeah. We would’ve been toast if we stayed in the lab.” Sweetie responded.

“I know.” Snails said while Snips nodded.

“But here’s one thing we need to know: How are we gonna stop that Heatwave affecting the whole Cyber City?” Button asked.

“Yeah, how are we gonna restore the place?” Silver asked.

Suddenly, before anyone can come up with a strategy, Diamond Tiara realized that she still has her lab bikini on while the others don’t. The medals were supposed to store their bikinis within when the kids got out. The medal Diamond was in somehow left her bikini on when she first got out. She starts freaking out about it and begins whining.

“Huh?! I’m still in my lab bikini while the others don’t have theirs? Why is this happening?!” Diamond whined, as she was about to cry. Her emotion sensors kicked in as her rings turned blue and her feeling electricity ran through her body to her heart. With that, she starts leaking tears about her still having her bikini on. “Why?! WHY?! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?! I still can’t take off this ugly thing and it’s STILL EMBARRASSING!!!!” she cried.

The CMCs try to calm her down to no avail, while Snips & Snails cover their ears.

“Oh, Diamond, calm yourself.” comforted Scootaloo.

“Yeah, we’ll get through it together,” Sweetie said.

“Friends always come together, even in hard times.” Apple Bloom responded.

“Apple Bloom has a point.” Silver said, calming her down.

“You.. Do you really mean it?” Diamond said, calming down.

“Yeah.” Sweetie said.

“Thanks! Thanks for giving me confidence!” Diamond said happily as she hugged the girls.

Diamond feels better and confident as Silver hugged her. Her rings have stopped spinning and are no longer blue. It was all while Snips and Snails uncovered their ears, annoyed by Diamond’s whining.

The Rainbooms step in and remind the kids about their new cyber powers, the armor and the things they got from the testing.

“Okay, here’s how it works.” Sunset responded. “This Cyberspace armor is only used for emergencies only and you remember there are powers coming equipped, including weapons and vehicles.”

But before Sunset could continue, They look out the window to find that there’s a laser beam coming out of the ground that is hitting the sun.

“Is that…?” Sunset asked.

“Yup, it’s the Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker Viruses…” Sci-Twi said, detecting the viruses with her helmet’s radar feature.

They look out the window to find that there’s a laser beam coming out of the ground that is hitting the sun.

“I’m so pumped up! Let’s stop this virus!” Rainbow said.

“You got that right, cause’ I’m ready to kick digital butt!” Applejack said, while Fluttershy cheered nervously and Pinkie was enthusiastic.

“Yeah!” the CMCs said in unison.

“Oh, yeah!” Diamond and Silver said in unison.

“Heck yeah!!!!” Snails and Snips cried in unison.

“This is gonna be awesome!” Button said as he grabbed his medal alongside the other kids. Before they could activate their armor, there was one problem; the kids and Button Mash didn't know how to access their new armor.

“Okay, but how can we transform into the armor that you guys are wearing?” asked Scootaloo.

“I have that covered.” Sunset said. “All you have to do is cry out “Cyberspace Armor: Activate”, then do your usual hero pose and poof! You’ve been transformed!”

“Got it!” The kids responded.

“Cyberspace armor: Activate!” The kids cried out and did a pose, then held their medals, pushing the Cyberspace Armor button, causing a flash of light to appear to engulf them, starting the whole transformation sequence. The pieces of their armor are placed on their Cyberspace bodies/suits, from their feet, their thighs, their hands and all over their cyberspace bodies. similar to that of the Power Rangers/Super Sentai franchise (Time Force, SPD, RPM & Beast Morphers) and while transforming, their bodies magically grew to the same height as the Rainbooms and the other students of CHS, looking a lot like senior students.

“What’s happening…?” Scootaloo responded as the transformation is happening

“I don’t know…!" Sweetie Belle responded as the transformation was happening.

“So far, I feel like I’ve become so much stronger!” Apple Bloom responded as the transformation is happening

“Oh… this is gonna be so cool, bro!” Snails responded as the transformation is happening

“Same here, bro!” Snips responded as the transformation is happening

“What? Whoa! What’s happening?! This is totally awesome!” Diamond responded as the transformation was happening.

“You got that right!” Silver said.

“Ha! Looks like it’s upgrade time!” Button responded while transforming.

When the transformation was complete, everyone was all proud of their new armored forms, all including Diamond. Suddenly (inside the armor), the tweens are teleported inside a magic bubble within a Tenkai Knights-like void resembling that of a motherboard, where they’ll control their armor within.

“Whoa! I look so dazzling hot!” Diamond said, admiring her armored look. “…and I’ve gotten so much taller than before!”

“Well, I’ll be amazed at what I’ve become. I feel like I’ve become an armored superheroine now, but taller, muscular and stronger!” Scootaloo replied as she was looking at her new cyberspace armor, doing heroic superhero poses and muscle flexes.

“Whoa… so this armor kinda makes our bodies look a lot older!” Apple Bloom responded. “I’m like Applejack now!”

“Well, I look so elegant in this armor. I have become much stronger and powerful than before!” Sweetie Belle said.

“OMG, you look like Flash Sentry’s physique!” Snails said after transforming.

“You too, bro!” Snips responded.

“Now this is technical!” Button said, admiring his armored look. “So, is the armor heat proof?” he asked.

“There’s a button on your medals. If you push it you’ll become comfortable.” Rarity instructed them as The kids pressed it and their bodies became cooler with visible shields and found it comfortable.

“Okay, Spike, keep an eye on those tweens and make sure they don’t go wandering around the city. We need to stay focused.” Sci-Twi said.

“You got it, Twilight.” Spike salutes to the idea, flies towards the kids and turns into his humanoid form.

With that, the Rainbooms, Trixie, Starlight, the kids and robot Spike head out to the location of the laser beam.

At the CyberLab bunker, the CEO and the scientists march out, noticing that everything’s gone quiet. They get out to see that the building is completely demolished.

“Oh, man! Look at this place! It’s a mess.” One scientist groaned.

“I am afraid this is beyond fixing everyone. We’ll just have to build a new CyberLab headquarters somewhere else.” The CEO ordered. “First, we’ll have to encounter the viruses head on, hoping that they can deal with them.

With that, the guys travel to the source of the laser beam. As they went there, the NIghtmare Moon virus detected something: a group of people were approaching their underground lair.

“It looks like we got someone approaching our lair, my Daybreaker.” she reported.

“Really? It’s the Rainbooms and their friends, is it?” Daybreaker asked.

“That’s a negative, ma’am. It looks like there’s scientists and the boss of CyberLab Industries.” Nightmare replied.

“Well, send in my fire soldiers and capture them! We’ll use them as bait.” Daybreaker ordered as she cackled maniacally.

“Yes, ma’am!” Nightmare replied as she pressed a button on her control panel, releasing an army of red fire demons that got out to capture the scientists and the CEO.

The group was heading for the lair when they saw an army heading towards them.

“Uh, what are they?” one scientist asked in concern.

“It looks like they are fire demons and I think they’re after us!” the CEO replied as everyone got their weapons out. “Fire your blasters!” he continued as the scientists did just that. However, their weapons and their rays had zero effect on the demons!

“What?! That’s impossible!” one scientist yelled.

“They seem to be invulnerable to any normal weapons!” the CEO explained as the army summoned fire-patterned bubbles that trapped them all one-by-one and they were all being carried to Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon’s lair. “Well, we better hope the girls and the kids will rescue us, stop the heatwave and save Cyberspace.” the CEO finished.

With that, they are all taken to the underground lair as the door shut. It is indeed up to the girls, robot Spike and the kids to save the people of CyberLab and the whole digital cyber grid from frying from the forces of the evil viruses.

Chapter 8: A Cybernetic Day Out / Heading Home

After the Rainbooms, Trixie, Starlight, Spike and the Principals have left Cyberspace, the CMCs, Diamond, Silver, Button Mash, Snips and Snails decided to spend more time and explore here in cyberspace by exploring more features of CyberCity.

First, they head to the CyberLand Theme Park, where they had fun, going on the rides, playing the games, enjoying the movie theater watching movies such as the Matrix trilogy, Spy Kids 3 & Tron: Legacy, relaxing at the cyber beach, strutting and showing off their new outfits at the fashion studio and eating at the food truck. Next, They even tried the Cyber mall which has amazing things; such as eBay, Amazon and others. They had a window shopping spree. Finally, they get an experience of all the features of their individual rooms of their hideout. They get to try out all the features as they let everyone in their own rooms. Later that night, they decide to turn themselves in for the night and they sleep the night away.

The simulated morning light stretched across the vibrant, pixelated landscape of the cyberspace hideout. Button Mash, Snips, Snails, the Cutie Mark Crusaders (Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo), Diamond Tiara, and Silver Spoon stirred awake, their exhaustion from the previous day's adventures weighing heavily on them. Though their medals glittered around their necks as a reminder of their victories, everyone felt the tug of reality calling them back home.

Button Mash rubbed his eyes, gazing wistfully at the digital sky. "Man, I wish we could stay here just a little longer," he admitted, clutching his medal like a treasure. "This place is amazing... but my parents are probably freaking out by now."

"Yeah, same," Scootaloo agreed, stretching her arms. "It was fun, but I’m ready to head back. I miss my scooter, anyway."

Snips and Snails, still half-asleep, yawned in unison. Snails looked at Snips and grinned. "Dude, we’re going home! No more weird cyber stuff!"

Snips nodded, fist-bumping his best friend. "I’ll miss the cool stuff, though. But yeah, real beds are way better."

The group gathered at the center of the hub where their medals began to glow faintly, signaling their readiness. Each of them took turns scanning their hands on the device, the interface lighting up with a reassuring hum.

"Well, here goes," Apple Bloom said, her southern accent steady as she took the lead. "Time to head back."

With the portal now fully activated, its swirling energy lit up the space around them in a dazzling array of colors. Without hesitation, they stepped through, leaving the vibrant world of cyberspace behind.

The group emerged in the middle of the grassy park, blinking in the sunlight of the real world. A cool breeze brushed past them, a welcome contrast to the artificial air they had grown accustomed to.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon stood to the side, inspecting themselves. The cybernetic material that had changed their bodies during their cyberspace ordeal was finally gone, and their forms had returned to their usual state. Their clothes, thankfully, had also been restored. Everyone is back to normal now.

"Finally," Diamond said, adjusting her tiara and dusting off her skirt. "I was starting to think we’d be stuck looking like weird digital sci-fi avatars forever."

Silver Spoon giggled softly, adjusting her glasses. "At least we made it out intact. Besides, the medal’s kind of cute," she added, holding up her prize.

Before they could get their bearings, three familiar figures rushed toward them. Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash sprinted across the field, their faces lit with relief and joy.

"Sweetie Belle!" Rarity called, pulling her little sister into a tight hug.

"Apple Bloom, you’re back!" Applejack exclaimed, scooping her sister up and spinning her around.

Scootaloo barely had time to react before Rainbow Dash ruffled her hair. "That was some great time you and your friends had, huh, squirt?"

The Crusaders basked in the warmth of their sisters’ affection, their fatigue momentarily forgotten.

Standing nearby, Sci-Twi, Pinkie, Sunset, Fluttershy, Trixie, Starlight and Spike watched the scene unfold with pride.

"I knew they’d make it," Starlight said with a small smile.

Trixie crossed her arms, trying to look unimpressed but failing. "Of course they did! They had the Great and Powerful Trixie helping them—well, indirectly."

"Hey. Don't beat yourself up. You did help save Cyberspace." Fluttershy whispered.

"We all did." Pinkie cheered as Sunset chuckled.

Sci-Twi adjusted her glasses, jotting something down in her notebook. "It’s amazing how they managed to navigate the cyberspace world so effectively, just like us. They’ve really earned those medals after all."

"They sure did, Twi. They sure did." Spike said.

As the reunion continued, Button Mash glanced at the portal one last time, now flickering as it powered down. A bittersweet smile crossed his face. "Maybe one day, I’ll come back," he muttered to himself.

"Button! Come on, let’s go!" Sweetie Belle called, waving him over.

He turned back to his friends, taking a deep breath before jogging to catch up. Whatever adventures awaited them next, he knew this was just the beginning.

At Canterlot High, it's a new week and the electronic grid is safe. The school had set up a policy that the students have phones out only for lunch and breaks. No exceptions. The Principals didn't want any trouble in Cyberspace anymore, so it is good they're playing it safe.

Button Mash has become even more popular with the gaming fandom ever since the cyberspace adventure, Snips & Snails have bonded even more than ever, Diamond and Silver was thinking of some fashion ideas for themselves based on their body forms from Cyberspace. The CMCs were spending time with their sisters more while they spent less time on electronics. It is a happy ending for everyone.

The End
