Well for a better understanding I’ll give to you all the characters that will be in this story, also a little background of each and sorry if i didnt get all the images of each one... here they are

Haken Browning
The male protagonist of Endless Frontier. 23-year-old Haken (which is German for hook) Browning is a cool, chivalrous, yet slightly perverted (though it is implied that this is because of his foster father’s influence as his father is shown acting in a similar manner) bounty hunter from Lost Herencia who wields the Night Fowl customized rifle with a built-in partisan-like attachment and a long-barreled handgun called the Longtomb Special. He was originally found by Moses on the Mai Tierra being cradled by Aschen Brödel and they are both adopted by him, upon growing up he takes over Moses's job of managing the ship Zeit Krokodil (Time Crocodile in German), serving as its captain and is noted to be similar to Moses in many ways including their penchant for reckless, and insane plans. His moveset enlists the use of several explosive cards in a technique called Best Flush. His motif is from Peter Pan where his character is based on Captain Hook, along with a poker motif for his attacks.

Kaguya Nanbu
One of three female protagonists, 18-year-old Kaguya Nanbu from the nation of Kagura Amahara is a princess of the royal Nanbu Clan. The daughter of Emperor Sanuki Nanbu, she is on a pilgrimage that every female in the family bloodline must take when they come of age. Her large breasts are the subject of many jokes throughout the game and have been estimated to be at 100 cm by Aschen Brödel. She occasionally reprimands Haken when he starts flirting too much (partly because of jealousy). She is a master of the Jinraku Tengen style of kenjutsu and wields the Goushiki Zankantō, a single-edged longsword. She also styles herself as The Sword That Cleaves Evil. Throughout the story there are strong hints that Kaguya is romantically attracted to Haken Browning. Her motif is based on The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, and she is fittingly named after the same character in the story.

Aschen Brödel
The second of three female protagonists, 'Aschen Brödel' (German name for Cinderella /Aschenbrödel,Aschenputtel) is the android subordinate to Haken. Possessing an occasional personality split between a stoic, reserved android, and a cheerful, upbeat woman, done by activating "Code DTD" (Dust-to-Dust) or whenever her body temperature rises high enough, which also results in the green portions of her uniform temporarily dissolving, exposing her legs and bust to a comical effect, which makes Haken uncomfortable as he tips his hat over his eyes the first time this is seen in the storyline, and she is usually the one who scolds Haken on his flirting. She has been alongside Haken for the 23 years since his birth, but cannot recall her memories prior to that, and has "mothered" Haken since he was a baby. With the appearance of a 20-year-old, her primary style of combat consists of striking attacks, but she is also able to utilize a variety of armaments located inside her mechanical body. Her motif is based on Cinderella, (Aschenbrodel is the German name for Cinderella) as the shotgun blast from her heel is called "Glass Heel".

Suzuka-Hime (Princess Suzuka)
The last of the three female protagonists, Suzuka is the princess/priestess of the "Shiki-Oni", a tribe of oni residing in Kagura Amahara, known for their summoning rituals. Taking the appearance of a 14- to 15-year-old ,though is believed to be over 100 years old, she travels to find the reason behind the sudden appearance and rapid growth of "Mild Keil" crystals in the Shiki-Oni's Megi Castle. Suzuka is also Kaguya's childhood friend, and dual wields a pair of fans. During combat, she primarily battles by calling upon the help of the Jyaki-GUN-Oh, one of the mecha featured in the game, who she controls like a puppet using wires attached to her fans through dance moves. Suzuka is also capable of using her fans, and wires as striking weapons. She harbors an interest in androids and mechanical beings. She and Aschen develop something of a rivalry, with the two frequently insulting or challenging each other, leaving Haken and Kaguya to try, and break up their fights. Her character's motif is based on Suzuka Gozen (鈴鹿御前, Suzuka Gozen) who is a legendary figure prominent in Japanese folktales of the Kamakura period.

Crossover

These characters have appeared in other media developed by Monolith Soft.

Reiji Arisu
The male protagonist of Namco × Capcom, Reiji serves as an agent alongside, his partner Xiaomu for the Shinra organization on Earth. He fights with a fire-based katana "Karin", a lightning-enhanced wakizashi "Chirai", a revolver called "Gold", and a shotgun named "Hollywood", all placed in a customized, handheld weapon rack. He occasionally grows frustrated at Xiaomu's happy-go-lucky attitude, and sometimes threatens to spank her if her teasing gets out of hand. He and Xiaomu had originally been tracking Saya after they were thrown into the Endless Frontier, but were attacked by Haken and his group due to their clothes being similar to the ones worn by the Orchestral Army. After their scuffle the two teams quickly resolve their problems, and band together because of their common goals. Despite being an original character, his BGM Arisu in the Flux City and his arrival here is similar to plot of Alice in Wonderland where Reiji and Xiaomu found themselves trapped inside a brand new land.

Xiaomu
The female protagonist of Namco × Capcom, Xiaomu is a cheerful, flirtatious 765 year-old "Sage Fox" assisting Reiji in his agent duties, because of her age she is sometimes called old. She also fights with handguns ("Silver" and "Platinum"), but carries an ice-based, elemental cane sword called the "Suiren" and can perform assorted magic as well as being able to team up with Reiji to unleash a series of double attacks.

KOS-MOS
KOS-MOS is one of the major characters in the Xenosaga series. Her design for this game is based on her Version 4 character design from Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra. Her pod was transported to the Endless Frontier shortly before her final checks before her official activation, and was accidentally awakened when the team stumbled upon her pod. After activation she joins Haken and his team, both to hunt down T-elos, and to find a way to return to the future.[4][5] She is generally reserved and calm in most situations as well as being able to manifest a variety of different weapons from her body, including Machine Guns, Pistols, and Energy Swords. After defeating the Einst, KOS-MOS, Reiji, and Xiaomu are presumably warped back to their worlds.

Supporting Characters

John Moses
The former captain of the Zeit Krokodil and former "wandering bounty hunter", sometimes referred to as Father John. He passed both these titles to Haken Browning, his adopted son he found 23 years ago as a baby aboard the Mai Tierra. He is the representative of Trodel Stadt, the leader of Lost Herencia, and was formerly considered the most famous bounty hunter in the Endless Frontier. He is at least 53 years old. Compared to Haken, Moses is a more serious character, though also having a perverted streak, and was apparently stricter while he was the captain, but having the same penchant as Haken for daredevil plans. Despite Haken's past, Moses still considers Haken to be his son.

Lee Ly
An anthropomorphic tiger, and the vice-captain of the Zeit Krokodil when John Moses was, and while Haken Browning is, the captain. Before meeting John Moses, he was a bounty hunter, little more than a bandit according to himself, and was an acquaintance of Rubor Cucullus. Haken, apparently, sometimes brings him "live meat" as food (i.e. enemies he defeated) though this isn't verified whether he actually eats them or if it is a joke on his part. He is apparently a powerful fighter, though never seen fighting in the series, as Rubor Cucullus is shown to be wary of him. One of his attacks is called the "Vicious Tiger Elbow".

Marion Sumii
Marion is a half elf, and half human, and is the mechanic that maintains the Zeit Krokodil. Due to her mixed heritage, her age is uncertain, though she appears as a woman in her early thirties. According to Aschen however, she is apparently "old". She is the mechanic on the Zeit Krokodil and is shown to be a bit of a machine maniac ("mad scientist" according to Lee, and "pure evil to any robots around" according to Aschen), with an urge to disassemble any new machine she can get her eyes (and hands) on. Despite this, she is not a fighter.

Sanuki Nanbu
King and ruler of Kagura Amahara, Sanuki is the father of Kaguya Nanbu. He apparently knows Haken's father, John Moses (even referring to Haken as "The man taking John Moses's place as the top hunter in the worlds"), and is also slightly lecherous (recognising his daughter, Kaguya due to her curvaceous and voluptuous figure much to her chagrin, and asks Suzuka to teach her "special dance" to Kaguya). He is considered a wise leader by his people, and is saddened by the loss of his wife, who gave her life to seal off the Crossgates. He trusts his daughter very much, and accepts her decision to fight against the Einst rather than seal away the crossgates despite the arguably low success rate.

Shirou
An anthropomorphic wolf ,and a shopkeeper in Kagura Amahara. Shirou is a friend of Haken, and apparently Kaguya as well (she refers to him as her favourite shopkeeper). He has an intense dislike of Koma, a cat merchant, willing to attack someone simply for mentioning her and claiming that she has no appreciation for customers (which turns out to be true). He is the one that later briefs Haken and the group on the lockdown in Kagura Amahara initiated by the Ura Genbu ninja's. He is apparently a capable fighter, though never seen in battle, one of his moves is known as the "Ultimate Sakura Fang Strike".

Antagonists

Original

Shuten
Shuten is a muscular, male Shiki-Oni, said to be the fiancee of Suzuka. He believes that the Shiki-Oni's have become subservient to the humans, and as a consequence he is seeking a way to restore the Shiki-Oni to their full power and will do anything to ensure their tribe's stability, going so far as to side with the Einst despite already being brainwashed by them once. He ultimately sees the error of his ways and cheerfully accepts his defeat, and promises to give up on defeating the humans. In battle Shuten primarily relies on using a large spear, and his incredible physical strength to overwhelm his enemies, during battle he can also call down a bolt of thunder to strike down his foes. He may be named after Shuten-dōji.

Katze Kotolnos
Katze is an anthropomorphic feline character and the chief of "Dunopolis", a town built on a colossal tank named the Grand Marquis shaped like a cat in the desert region of Southern Elfetale. Katze is very knowledgeable about history. According to him, during the "Ten Year War" between Elfetale and Formido Heim, he was a death merchant, selling arms to both sides of the conflict, and is later revealed to have been a high-ranking member of the Orchestral army. Nevertheless, he regrets fighting in the war and builds Dunopolis as his way to make up for everything, he has kept tabs on Haken and his group and believes they are the key to stopping the Einst once and for all. Due to his time in the war, Katze is a proficient fighter who uses a kick style kenpo and high speed movement to get the edge in battle, at one point holding off the entire cast of protagonists by himself. His motif is from Puss in Boots.

Cardia Basirissa
Cardia is a pink female android, who reveals herself as "W06", the predecessor to "W16" (Echidna Issaki from Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation 2). It is in her interests to preserve the information and secrets aboard the "Mai Tierra" battleship, a vessel that mysteriously crashed into Lost Herencia 23 years ago and terminates anyone who finds out too much information. Cardia is also trying to regain her lost memory like Aschen. Because of her status as an android, she is incredibly resilient to damage and fights using several blades hidden throughout her body as both ranged and melee attacks. Her motif is based on the Queen of Hearts as she makes her first appearance to the main cast for the first time in the Elftale Castle.

Otone
Dressed in the style of a Japanese kunoichi, Otone is the young leader of the Ura Genbu ninjas in Kagura Amahara charged with the protection of the Nanbu Clan, as well as being Kaguya's master. Despite this, it appears as though she cares more about Kaguya then the Nanbu Clan, as when she confronts Haken and his group, and despite orders by King Nanbu to return Kaguya at any cost she allows them to leave as she does not want Kaguya to make the same sacrifice as her mother, she is later brainwashed by an Einst copy of Kaguya, but is freed when she is defeated by the real Kaguya. In battle Otone uses several razor sharp, virtually invisible wires for battle but also carries a variety of bladed kunai knives and considerable skill in ninjutsu. Her motif is based on Otohime, the town where she resides is similar to a turtle.

Ezel Granada
Ezel is a mysterious man with the head of a horned skull. Hailing from the chaotic world of Formido Heim, he leads a group named the "Orchestral Army", an elite battalion once part of the frontlines of Formido Heim during the "Ten Year War". Although he looks menacing, he is actually a noble soldier at heart, and is the one who revealed the Einst to be the ones behind the 10 year war which Ezel stops by killing the Einst impersonating their king, however they had already suffered massive casualties by then (he and Katze were the only surviving members of the original Orchestral Army), and since then he had worked at a solution to prevent the Einst from returning to the Endless Frontier, he ultimately trusts this task to Haken Browning. In battle he uses a large Battle-Axe, which he wields one handed, and enhances his already formidable skills with a variety of explosion based attacks. Like the rest of the Orchestral Army, his motif is based on the Town Musicians of Bremen and Ezel is German for donkey.

Henne Valkyria
A serious winged female knight, Henne is one of two new members of Ezel's "Orchestral Army", and appears to be a high-ranking member. Unlike the cheerful, smart mouth, pessimistic, and insulting Kyon, she is very professional and mature about her job and is a far more competent leader. After the Endless Frontier fused together Henne Valkyria was forced to work more and more to make up for the war and later makes Aschen and Otone an offer to join the Orchestral army. During battle she fights using a laser sabre while using her natural flight ability to aid in battle, she carries some sort of teleportation device on her and her feathers can also be launched as projectile attacks, she can also rapidly spin to create a localised red tornado around herself to ram and blow away enemies. Like the rest of the Orchestral Army, her motif is based on the Town Musicians of Bremen with her name being German for hen.

Kyon Feulion
A cheerful, yet pessimistic, insulting, and smart mouth little demon witch, Kyon is the second new member of the "Orchestral Army", and is the first high-ranking member that the team encounters. Despite this it appears she is not very competent at keeping information a secret, often blurting out key bits of info in her conversations. After her subsequent defeat by them she carries a grudge against them, and frequently insults them (particularly Kaguya) after losing to them in further battles. She, and Henne Valkyria don't appear to get along at the best of times and generally get on each other's nerves. In battle she primarily fights using her broom that has been enhanced with technology, like traditional witches she can fly on her broom and can also use a variety of attacks with it she labels as "Bronte Magic". Kyon can also launch projectile attacks from under her hat. Like the rest of the Orchestral Army, her motif is based on the Town Musicians of Bremen with her name being German for dog.

Koma
A greedy cat-girl merchant who frequently interferes with the protagonists, Koma also provides the group with various items and equipment in her traveling store "Caterwaul". She is not very loyal and very greedy, frequently using any situation to make a quick buck and willing to change sides as long as she gets paid (as Aschen puts it, she has "loyalty issues"). She has fought against Haken and his group a few times, due to being hired as being a bodyguard, but has almost greeted them with no hard feelings in later meetings despite being beaten by them in every battle. In battle she is a competent hand-to-hand fighter who wields a sword along with her natural cat claws, and also uses her tail as a striking weapon, and can even spin it around to hover in midair, she can also use money as a weapon, dumping large amounts to try to crush her enemies.

Anne Sirena
A pirate mermaid, Anne is the leader of the pirate group "Silent Works", from the underwater world of Varna Kanai, and commands the ship "Silent Vox". Haken has an interest for Anne to become wanted so he can collect the bounty. She is an expert on bombs and cannons, and as such, she also has a tendency to blow things up to solve her problems, she later assists the protagonists by lending them her ship to travel underwater to retrieve a large Mild Keil crystal, and also providing bombs to destroy it, but halfway through she and her first mate, Bonny, are brainwashed by the crystal into attacking the protagonists but is freed when she is defeated. Befitting her tendency to blow things up, in battle she uses two large cannons that can emit blasts of varying strength, and power, and using her fish tail to whip her opponents. Her motif is appropriately The Little Mermaid and her name makes up for the first half of Anne Bonny.

Bonny Maxmad
An anthropomorphic merman, Bonny is Anne's first mate aboard the "Silent Vox" and a capable fighter in his own right. He shares his captain's interest in bombs and explosions, but is overall more serious natured in situations then his captain, he also works part-time running Anne's merchant shop. Like his captain he is brainwashed by Mild Keil crystals but is freed when defeated by the protagonists. In battle he fights using a pair of large flintlocks rather than the cannons, and bombs favoured by his captain, but in line with his merman nature, he can also call upon large schools of ferocious fish to attack enemies en masse, as well as hindering their movements. He does not have a motif like Anne, but shares the second naming half of the famous female pirate Anne Bonny.

Dorothy Mistral
An inventor and bandit from Elfetale who often raids Lost Herencia for technology, she and Haken are well acquainted, partly because of them regularly meeting which almost always results in them fighting. Most of her character design is based on The Wizard of Oz (for example, a yellow brick road leads to her (green-hued) fortress, and the player is often attacked by a scarecrow, saw-wielding robot, and were-lion when traveling down it). She was developing technology to break Mild Keil crystals and consented to allow Haken to borrow it so long as he brings back a pure sample of Red Mild Keil crystal. In battle she uses a large variety of bombs, and explosives of varying sizes, and power which she keeps hidden under her dress, she also has the ability to summon a large tornado of rose petals to engulf her opponents. Her motif is from The Wizard Of Oz.

Rubor Cucullus
An anthropomorphic red wolf who is well-dressed, and wears a crown on his head, Rubor is a former Bounty Hunter and earns his position as king because of his achievements in war. He is very aggressive and would like nothing more than to get back at Ezel and the Orchestral Army for what they did to his kingdom even if it meant using the Personal Troopers they used against the world. He is very stubborn at times and holds a seething prejudice towards the Orchestral Army even after learning the truth about the Einst. He fights using an over-sized lance whose point can open up to blast at opponents, or extend a large spike to impale them and using his incredible speed and agility to smash his enemies around. His motif is from the wolf in The Little Red Riding Hood.

Wahrschein Lichkeit
A resident of the Einst world, Wahrschein is the creator of the Einst that invade the Endless Frontier, as well as the Frontier itself. It and the Einst are the remains of the Stern Regisseur from Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation 2, after it was defeated at the end of that game, by his own admission he has the power of a creator, his ultimate goal was to return back to his world, but his method would have destroyed the Endless Frontier. The most powerful Einst in the game and single most powerful boss character faced, it took the entire team and the three Personal Troopers to finally vanquish him. Originally, upon their arrival to the Stern Regisseur, he confronted the protagonists immediately alongside a reverse engineered ArcGain, however he was not at full strength at the time and was defeated, and the Einst ArcGain was destroyed but he managed to escape and recover while sending three reverse engineered Personal Troopers to stall them. Upon facing them again at the top of the Stern Regisseur he had recovered his previous damage and had reached his full strength, despite his overwhelming power he was defeated a second time, and destroyed by the full power of Haken's Longtomb Special - Last Showdown, in turn resulting in the Endless Frontier fusing together into one large continent, supposedly how it was before the Einst created the Endless Frontier. In the first battle against him his abilities solely revolved around his massive regeneration and "Hades Line" ability which allowed him to fire potent beams of energy, varying from multiple shots, one big blast and a massive combination of both. During the second and final battle he was equipped with two arms that held axes which could inflict both types of poison onto a target as well as holding all of his previous abilities, only stronger, with greater range and being able to inflict every form of status ailment possible. The word "Wahrscheinlichkeit" means "probability" in German.

Crossover

These characters have appeared in other media developed by Monolith Soft.

Saya
The main antagonist of Namco × Capcom, Saya is a flirty werefox, and works as the leader of the organization "Ouma", the counterpart to the "Shinra" organization. Saya is the one who gave Reiji the pulsating scar on his forehead. She is accompanied by her two henchmen, Dokumezu and Dokugozu. She appears to have lived a long time, as she refers to Xiaomu (who is well over 700 years old) as kid, during the events of Namco × Capcom Reiji personally finished off Saya during the penultimate battle but for some reason she had survived. The first time she met Haken, and the team was when she was being pursued by Reiji and Xiaomu, due to their recent battle against the Orchestral Army she manages to trick them into attacking Reiji and Xiaomu while she herself made her escape. After she is encountered again she is defeated but manages to escape. Although battling her several times throughout their travels Reiji decides to let her be as they are all working to returning to their own world. In battle she can use her claws, which are also poisonous, as melee weapons. She also wields a fire sword, an electric sword and an ice sword as well as a shotgun and an arsenal of magical attacks similar to Xiaomu's.

T-elos
T-elos is KOS-MOS' counterpart and rival in Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra. She seeks to settle the score with KOS-MOS once and for all. She is described by KOS-MOS as being more human than her, but at the same time less so. This is apparently shown that despite her more human nature, she lacks basic humanity and is very ruthless, only allying with people when it serves her purposes and willing to kill them after they have no more use to her. She has been stated to be a far more advanced model of KOS-MOS, and being more powerful, having destroyed KOS-MOS's previous body. Haken, Aschen and Kaguya first encountered her while investigating the Schlafen Celeste, but she escaped before they could do anything. She is also trying to find a way back to her own world but refuses to team up with Haken and his group, opting to try and destroy them instead. After escaping from their first battle, she teams up with Cardia, and later with Saya, and Einst copies of Reiji and Xiamou. Though defeated both times she grudgingly leaves the team be, vowing to destroy KOS-MOS when they return back to their own world. In battle she has many of the same abilities as KOS-MOS, but are coloured red rather than blue.

Mecha

Unlike the other games in the Super Robot Wars series, the mecha in Endless Frontier are actually either mechanical puppets called Karakuri, or autonomous robots about three meters tall. Most of them are based on full-sized mecha previously seen in the series, and the template data from them was used to construct them.

Phantom
This machine, also known as "Gespenst" (which in fact means Phantom in German), is used specially by Haken to execute the "Ultimate Gespenst Kick". Along with this technique, the Phantom carries an assortment of cutting weapons, and a heavy energy cannon in its torso. During the events of the game, it is revealed to be based on the Gespenst Haken, named so because it was made specially to work with Haken himself, and was originally built to be the personal trooper to defeat the other three personal troopers. It is based on a series of mecha of the same name that has appeared in many Super Robot Wars games, as well as Another Century's Episode and Hero Senki: Project Olympus. Humorously, because of Haken's manner of speech he calls him Mr. Phantom. Originally it was under the command of Cardia Basirissa and was a wanted machine across the worlds. Upon coming across it the first time it was defeated causing it to retreat. Later, upon facing it again, it was damaged badly enough that its own original AI took over and was converted with a program to work for Haken. Since then the Gespenst Phantom became a part of the team and aiding them in all their later battles. The Gespenst returns in Endless Frontier Exceed.

Alteisen Nacht
Meaning Scrap Iron Night [6] in German, this bulky, blue machine is capable of entering a "rage mode", where it turns red. The Nacht is armed with a five-barreled machine cannon on its left arm, a pile-bunker-like "Revolving Breaker" mounted on its right arm and a set of titanium, ball bearing-launchers rested on its shoulders named "Layered Claymore" and a smaller set hidden in its wrists. With the Abend, the Nacht can execute a deadly, dual maneuver called "Rampage Specter". The Nacht is based on the Gespenst Mk-III, a version of the Alteisen, a mecha that first appears in Super Robot Wars Compact 2. It was the last of the three personal troopers fought against, and was met just as it was escaping with a pure red Mild Keil crystal. It was encountered again alongside the Weissritter Abend where it was damaged enough that it stopped functioning and the Gespenst then uploaded the same program it had to the Nacht and Abend, resulting in them joining the team and aiding them in all their later battles. The Alteisen Nacht returns in Endless Frontier Exceed.

Weissritter Abend
Meaning White Knight Evening in German, like the Nacht, the Abend starts out with the colour opposite to its original designe, i.e. red, but is similarly able to enter a "rage mode", turning blue. This machine carries a customized rifle called the "Partisan Launcher X" that fires solid- and energy-based projectiles which can expand to fire even greater energy blasts. It was has a laser gun attached to its wrist with three barrels. With the Nacht, the Abend can execute a deadly, dual manuveur called "Rampage Specter". It is based on the Gespenst Mk-IV, a version of Weissritter, another mecha from Compact 2. It was first encountered guarding the lower levels of the Mai Tierra, upon defeating it, several pieces were collected and analysed alongside the captured Gespent which was the first clue the team had towards their Einst construction. It was encountered again alongside the Alteisen Nacht where it was damaged enough that it stopped functioning and the Gespenst then uploaded the same program it had to the Nacht and Abend resulting in them joining the team and aiding them in all their later battles. The Weissritter Abend returns in Endless Frontier Exceed.

Jyaki-GUN-Oh
The kanji of his name, 邪鬼銃王, mean Devil Gun King. A Traditional Combat Arts Battle Machinery ( 伝統攻芸戦術からくり Dentō Kōgei Senjutsu Karakuri?) of the Shiki-Oni. It is a dark blue mech with various silver, black and red highlights, and has a somewhat jagged appearance, unique to this mech is that it has a mostly human shaped face. It was apparently built by Suzuka herself. It holds multiple solid-based weaponry within its body, ranging from bombs, to machine guns. For melee combat it has shown the ability to charge its fists with electricity, and is able to deliver multiple hard blows with these. It has also shown flight capabilities as well as being able to move at remarkable speeds with Suzuka usually riding on top during these moments. Suzuka is the only one who can summon this mech in battle, in fact she operates him with strings attached to her fans which she uses with her dances, and it is her main form of fighting.

ArcGain
Being mostly blue with black, white, yellow and red highlights, this mysterious robot can execute strings of melee combinations, alongside use of its razor-sharp elbow blades, shotgun like weapons in its legs and considerable hand-to-hand combat capabilities based on the W-series androids. Unlike the other mechs, the ArcGain was found on the Mai Tierra rather than being built from blueprints. Based on the Soulgain, which appeared in Super Robot Wars A. An entirely unknown robot who was an unexpected final mecha the team faced just after they had acquired the Alteisen Nacht, and the Weissritter Abend, it is seen guarding a large orb of pure red Mild Keil crystal. Despite its considerable power, it was outnumbered and outmatched and was forced to retreat. It is later revealed to be under the control of the Einst and returns in the heart of the Mai Tierra with two Einst copys of Haken in a final bid to defeat the team. Upon being defeated, it self-destructs to prevent itself from being analyzed.

Prologue. And so it begins (E)

Canterlot excavation site (AKA Cristal Caverns)

"Hurry up guys, these ruins won't excavate themselves" a big, brown stallion was shouting to boost the morale of a little group getting on the bottom of a very muddied pit down below Canterlot "besides, we have a guest here, the princess' personal protegé is supervising us today."

As though on cue, a certain purple mare makes her entrance appearing with a crack near the stallion.

"Sorry about that" the mare states,"my name is Twilight Sparkle."

"Holy Celestia" whispers the stallion, half impressed by the sudden appearance of the mare "why do I always get the more troublesome, weird ponies ?", at the same time, Twilight is approaching the pit, and examining the odd, metallic artifacts that were recovered from the excavation site not long ago. Large pieces of metal lay on special bags for transportation to the surface, and some more delicate objects, such as vases and some weird looking fan, were the reason that involves the Twilight House on the excavation in first place.

"What other pieces have you recovered this far" asks the purple mare, fully interested in research, but wondering why the princess has sent her alone, without even her parents, more experts on the archeological stuff.

"Dunno" says the workchief "I was recently transferred here from some excavations at the royal sisters palace in the Everfree."

"Ok" Twilight simply states "so I guess that this is all then."

Suddenly, a chunk of metal is separated from the wall of the pit, falling towards the ponies below, without hesitation, Twilight fetches the huge piece of metal with her magic, and gently drops it on the floor, before teleporting herself near the hole that the metal piece was hiding.

"Hey, there's a passageway here" she cries, excited by the accidental discovery, only to turn around and find some stunned ponies looking at her.

"What?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inside the Mai Terra

"And that's why you never EVER open a door like that" says the man, panting heavily, running for his life, closely followed by a woman with a green suit with white and blue gloves, and footwear.

"Sorry captain" says the woman "but you actually gave me the order to "bust the damn door open" as you specifically said."

"Damn Cinderella" quickly retorts the man "when will you actually understand a little joke."

As they were running, various machines chased them, firing a great variety of weapons, from laser cannons to heat-guided missiles towards the weird couple. Both dodging them, and trying to run at the same time, when suddenly a giant rock was on the half of the passageway.

"Aschen you remember this part of the ship?" asks the white-haired man, holding his rifle, and shooting back at the robots.

"Actually no, Captain" answers the woman "but this rock can be destroyed by your Night Fowl."

As soon as the woman says that, the cowboy switches his rifle to busting mode, activating the gas propelled spike on the base of the weapon and smashing it into the rock.

"Ok... here goes nothing" he quickly pulls the trigger and the rock explodes, creating smoke and distracting the sentry drones long enough for him and his companion to get in the passageway. They run forward until they find themselves in a huge room within the bowels of the wrecked ship.

"Hey Aschen, could you get on the computer in this room, and actually get some light, I can't see shit in here" the man states irritably.

"Sure captain" comes the response near the man "Switching to night vision mode." A dim light is all the the man can see as his partner's eyes begin to glow "Captain" the woman says emotionless "we might have a problem here, if I activate the power in this room, it will probably activate the Cross Gate in the room as well."

"Wait, there's a Cross Gate in here?" the man almost yells, trying to locate her by her voice.

"Yes, and actually the gate is activating by now."

Canterlot excavation site (AKA Crystal Caverns)

Twilight moves forward down the passageway, finding at some point that she is no longer stepping on dirt, but on some kind of metal surface. She lights her horn to be sure. At the same time, something buzzes back to life, and one part of the wall opens to reveal a large room with a ring in the middle of a strange-looking platform.

"This isn't exciting" the unicorn nearly yells, rushing toward the ring, and analyzing it, but suddenly all is chaos. As soon as Twilight touches the ring, the center of the ring explodes forward, opening a blue, water like surface and then expelling two large bipedal forms onto the floor. Shutting down just as quickly as it had come to life.

"Whoa" one of the things whines "where the fuck are we Aschen."

"No idea captain" answers the other "but we aren't in the Endless Frontier now."

"Ok" quickly mutters the man, standing and stretching his arms, then searching for all his gear. Finding his weapon near a purple tiny horse, that is looking at him, mouth agape. "Hey Aschen, we have company in here, but it looks like some kind of horse" the man states curiously.

"Sorry" the horse quickly says "but we aren't horses, we are ponies."

"Ha Ha Ha very funny Aschen" the man says " why did I actually fall for that kind of prank, I'm too old for this."

"Captain" Aschen calmly answers "I don't think i am pranking you right now."

"WHAT" the man exclaims, jumping in place and getting his weapon ready "HOLY SHIT A TALKING HORSE!!!"

Well thats it folks, my first crossover of the OG saga of Super Robot Taisen and MLP, hope you enjoy the ride...

Truth and questions of the little pretty horses (E)

Canterlot excavation site (AKA Crystal Caverns) - 20 minutes after gate activation

As he slowly stands up, Haken Browning is thinking about how in the world his day was going this wrong, granted, Aschen and he always have found problems when they investigate the ruins (courtesy of one damn weird little elf that carries enough explosives for blowing up the security drones of the wrecked Mai Terra, and also probably half of the ship with them. However the bomber lady had suddenly disappeared two weeks ago and they were tracking here before, he tries to lift their moods and almost gets both of them killed but... hey why not ?).

At the same time, Aschen is exploring the little room in the deep, scanning the computers and also the local sentient wildlife. (They actually can talk but besides that, for the female robot, they actually could have found the room by accident).

"Excuse me" a tiny voice says, wrecking the concentration of both bounty hunters "but, what in Celestia´s name are you!!??".

"Okay, horse lady" Haken hurriedly answers, in fact enjoying the annoyed face the purple pony was giving him. "We are bounty hunters payed by the government of Trodel Strat, searching for a missing person. My name is Haken Browning, captain of the Zeit Krokodil, and bounty hunter extraordinaire, and the android behind you is Aschen Brodel...".

"Personal android of the bounty hunter extraordinaire" quickly fills in the young woman, quickly spinning up her legs and getting ready in a fighting stance. "Captain, we have company... and i think it is hostile seeing as how you are being watched".

"Huh?" is the only thing the man says before a heavy beam of light hits the spot where the android was standing a mere second before, she quickly jumps (and also drags one pony that was still trying to process what was happening.) In the meantime, Hacken lifts his weapon and moves away, dragging Twilight and scanning the room for more potential threats, but the initial danger zone, as he puts it, quickly meets reality when he sees the treat.

Another pony.

Taking a good look at the pony, Haken immediately notices two details. First, it has wings and a horn, and second and most important, it is clearly pissed off.

"Humans, I command both of you to desist and surrender immediately and free my faithful student and the excavation archeologists AT ONCE!!!... OR ELSE...".

"First off, lady, we are not threatening any of these ponies here, and secondly, if you want a dance, a dance is what you're gonna get, Aschen ?". the man bellows before charging ahead, weapon at hand.

"Roger captain" the girl quickly answers, "She can fire concentrated light from her horn, so be cautious".

"Ok Cinderella, I'll keep that in mind."

Haken intermediately jumps to avoid one beam directed to him as he spins in the air, and get some cards from his coat. He begins to throw the cards at the pony, who quickly put up a light shield to deflect the cards, and they got knocked to the floor.

"It is all you've got??” the white pony bellows, firing some more bolts at the human and his partner.

"Neeeh" the man quickly answers "and besides princess, you should watch your step".

As soon he says that, the cards explode, launching the white winged unicorn against a wall. Without wasting one second, the man quickly jumps to get the downed threat, only to finding himself, his partner and the white pony encased in a purple aura.

"ALRIGHT EVERYPONY JUST STOP IT ALREADY" yells the purple unicorn behind all of them, horn aglow with the same color as the aura encasing all the fighters. "NOW IM GOING TO PUT ALL OF YOU DOWN AND WE HOPE TO GET SOME ANSWERS IN A CIVILIZED MANNER".

"But my most faith..." the white pony stammers, trying to calm the unicorn.

"Sorry Princess Celestia, I know that you can overpower my own magic as you wish, but you once taught me, and in one letter i wrote to you saying that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, right?" the purple pony quickly spurt out, a red blush spreading from the white one´s cheeks, "and also, you two, why did you attack the Princess of all ponies!!" rapidly adding to the rant.

"Wait, so she actually is a princess?" Haken asks quickly.

"Yes, the ruler of all of Equestria, Princess Celestia Ordea, at your service" the white pony says.

"Charmed... so, how screwed we are?" Aschen asks, her characteristic bored tone slightly raised.

"Very" Answers Celestia, knitting together her brows.

"Well, fuck" Haken quickly adds.

Author's Note

kinda short chapter but working on a big one besides this one, and how our bounty hunters gonna be punished for attacking the princess ???

any criticism would be appreciated

Never as easy as it looks (E)

Canterlot Castle, 2 hours later

All the Canterlot Royal Guard is, for lack of a better term, flabbergasted, seeing his omnipresent ruler, God for some of the present ponies, being carried like a doll, alongside two strange humanoid beings, by her prized student into the castle. Fortunately for her highness Princess Celestia Ordea, the excavation site entrance was inside the castle, so this incident's witnesses are probably all the palace staff and Royal Guard on duty by now.

Anyways, she is unable to hide the blush on her cheeks the entire way into the throne room.

For Haken and Aschen, on the otherhoof, the ride went smoothly, but still they didn't say a word for fear it could possibly make their dire situation worse, and in fact enjoying the face of discomfort the princess was giving them.

"Twilight ?" the white mare asks politely.

"Yes, your highness ?"

"Might you be kind enough to let me and our... guests go ?" Celestia stated, giving a wary look to a passing lunar guard, which promptly turned around and began galloping to the other end of the corridor where the four of them were. Also eliciting a little snort from Haken, as well as a bemused look from Aschen.

"OH MY GOSH YOUR HIGHNESS IM SOSORRYIOVERSTEPMYBOUNDARIESBUTYOU..." stammers the little purple unicorn, quicky speeding up,in mild panic.

"Twilight, please..."

"ANDWHENYOUAREMADYOUUSUALLYDONTLISTENTOANYREASONSSOITHINK..."

"Twilight!!"

"PLEASEDONTPUNISHMEORBANISHMEORPUNISHMEINTHESITEYOU..."

TWILIGHT SPARKLE!!!! Celestia shouts, granting a loud squeak and the field suddenly vanishing sending the human, android, and herself to the floor. Instinctively Celestia spread her wings to gain some balance, and the girl somehow stabilizes herself, but for Haken, the floor and his face became intimate with a loud thud and a curse.

"Damn it!!!"

"Hehe" Twilight giggles "sorry about that."

"Its OK" the tall man mutters, with a slightly nasal tone, "not your fault that you stop me for beating Snow White here."

"Do you realize that I was winning" Celestia chimes in, with a little mocking tone "besides your bravado, do you realize that I'm an immortal alicorn and you cannot beat me ?."

"Sooo... besides the fact that you are a tall winged unicorn..." begins the man.

"Alicorn" quickly corrects Twilight.

"Whatever... besides the fact you are an Alicorn, you're saying that you are immortal?" asks Haken.

"Yes" Simply answers Celestia, "and i think you were a little rude with that magic trick of yours, honestly, making cards explode. you'll need to do something more harsh if you want to hurt me."

"Hey Snow White, you hit us first, besides, that wasn't a magic trick, those cards are covered in a explosive cellulose that will go off after a short period of time when they're tossed."

"Interesting" mutters Celestia.

In that moment, a little battalion of lunar guards appears from the far side of the hall. Commanded by Princess Luna, and one white unicorn stallion in purple and gold armor, clutching a broadsword as tall as he is. All of them were weilding various spears, and crossbows, and the Lunar Diarch herself is carrying a couple of moon shaped battle blades, firmly held in a dark blue aura.

"THOU SHALT NOT PASS!!!" the black alicorn yells, causing some of her guards to flinch.

"Luna... they are no threat, and you are using old equish again" Celestia calmly states, "anyhow, they easily can hurt or worse, KILL our little ponies, and their weapons are far more advanced than ours, so I do not think it is wise to disturb them."

"Well Snow White, finally you say something that can benefit us. However, we did not come to conquer, or fight with you. We come here with a mission of search and possible rescue, one individual from our world disappeared in the Mai Terra, and us..." began Haken, slightly annoyed by the constant interruptions.

"What, pray tell, is a Mai Terra" the dark alicorn asks.

"Ok, now, I think we started off on the wrong hoof" Celestia stated, turning around and observing the weapons that Haken has, also the heavy knuckles that Aschen is wearing on her hands. "I think we can discuss all the issues that we have, starting with how you appeared in the excavation site, and why are you heavily armed in a peaceful land."

"So, no more lightbeams ?" Haken asked, a hint of hope in his voice.

"No, no more lightbeams, if you agree to leave your weapons. I think we both jumped to conclusions, and began attacking each other without reason."

"As nice as she sounds, captain" states Aschen, " I strongly recommend to you, not to follow her advice, we don't wanna start an inter-dimensional conflict for omitting basic etiquette. However I also think being fully unarmed is an invitation for trouble. I'm basing my judgment on that "Snow White" here was the first to attack us while we are finishing our transportation from the Cross Gate."

"I think I have a solution for that" Twilight suddenly pipes up "how about you enter with all your gear, and the princesses picks the best of their guard to attend this meeting."

"I like that idea, horse lady" Haken states, winning an unnerving glare from the purple armored stallion "but how do we know that all of you aren't deceiving us?"

"Because" the white stallion states, "she is one of the bearers of the elements of harmony, and my little sister. So if you don't like it, we still can kick your flank back to that portal."

"Shining Armor, that is not the way to address some possible allies on their first visit to this universe" Twilight almost screams, mortified at her brother.

"Yeah kid, besides, it'd be easy to kick YOUR ass before you even reached mine." Haken boasted around, gaining some amused stares from both princesses, a warning (and almost imperceptible) glare from Aschen, and a snort and a little laugh from somewhere above him.

"Dude, I love your attitude, and that's something I don't say to everypony" says a tomboyish voice. Suddenly, a cyan pegasus with a rainbow colored mane lands in front of both groups.

"Rainbow Dash" Twilight quickly asks "Why in the name of Celestia are you here?"

"Heya egghead, Princess Luna sent an emergency scroll saying something about some monsters who have her sister and our favorite librarian as hostages and we all came here in 20 seconds flat, but seeing this one chewing out to your brother like that, I'll say he's cool" the stuntmare and aspiring wonderbolt explains.

"So that means all the girls are here?" quickly asks Twilight, beginning to cower behind a statue.

"Yeah... oh wait, they're new so..." began the multicolored mare.

"Ok whats the problem being new in this universe?" Haken quickly asked, beginning to worry, seeing all the present ponies ducking for covering

“SURPRISE!!!”

"..."

"Next time, i don't ask."

Author's Note

As always any feedback is appreciated, i am going to update an special chapter describing all the characters in this story, besides the obvious ones, so you can get a better idea of the other characters

Proclamation (E)

Canterlot Castle, 4 hours later

"Ok, can somebody... pony... whatever, explain to me how she can defy all the known physics laws in existence" asks a very annoyed Haken, for the fourth time, when a certain pink party pony hauls a cannon from her mane and begins to fire in the Throne Room, effectively hanging around all the supplies for a party.

"Well pardner, here this stays as Pinkie bein' Pinkie" the orange southern mare, Applejack, quickly answers, pointing a hoof at the pink party-planner " b'sides, ya’ll wanna know somethin'? we still don’t know how to explain it."

"Well... at least they are having fun" quickly quipped Rainbow Dash, also pointing at Aschen, who is in her "overdrive" mode, and that means her other personality is in full swing. Dancing and showing her skills, creating null spheres and launching her arms to targets provided by the solar guard (the first time they almost have an heart attack, when suddenly she decided to fire her arm to grab some vase at the other side of the room, without explaining that she can detach her limbs to do coordinated attacks or simply extend her range, and leaving a semi-catatonic Fluttershy in the floor.)

"Crap... she is actually doing null spheres?... damn it’s dangerous, I’d better stop her", Haken says as he slowly stands up and begins walking to his friend. Getting some odd glares from both alicorn princess’s, and a relieved one from Twilight Sparkle.

"Aschen, better stop that before you hurt somebo-somepony, you know that we aren’t here to entertain the locals, and besides that, we have already wasted enough time as it is fighting against Snow White and her sister."

"Awww captain, you are no fun, besides I have them perfectly controlled... see?" quickly answers Aschen, smiling almost madly while doing tricks with the grey-dark spheres, effectively tossing them in the air and catching at the same time.

"I don’t care if you have perfect control over them, it’s dangerous, honestly i cannot say why you are in overdrive or what in the world Marion was thinking when she installed you with that dark matter driver"

"Excuse me, but what is a dark matter driver?" asked Twilight and Luna at the same time, suddenly interested in the topic at hand.

"Ahh... well I’m not aware about the scientific aspects...Hmmm... Do you know about supernovas or black holes? asks the white haired man, smiling smugly "It’s okay if you don’t, and I’ll be..."

"Actually, we do" Luna answers quickly, also smiling "just because our little ponies can't travel to space yet, doesn't mean that we don’t know about the stars."

"Well... interesting. Anyways, a dark matter driver is like a giant supernova and a black hole combined in a engine, the output energy is stable enough to transform it in to electricity, or in Aschen’s case, in to a defensive countermeasure known as the null spheres."

"And, if i may ask, how dangerous it is?" quickly adds Celestia, already bored with the antics of Pinkie Pie and Aschen.

Before the cowboy could answer, Aschen misses one of the spheres, and when it hits the wall the orb disintegrates, with half of the same wall and all that stands at least at 5 meter radius of the point of impact.

"Ehh... that dangerous."

"..."

"THAT... WAS... AWESOME!!!... please do it again, do it again" almost yelled Rainbow Dash, the massive damage almost unnoticed as she was hopping like Pinkie Pie.

A chorus of claps sound when the hooves (and hands) of all the presents in the throne room meet their faces

"Better not Skittles, and besides we don’t have any currency to pay for the damages, and I do not believe that Snow White here likes that we leave the palace as Swiss cheese" quickly says Haken, gaining a new glare from Twilight, Aschen, who was already back to normal, and Shining Armor, and a little snort from Luna.

"Well my little ponies and guests, i think it is best we call it a night and hit the hay. Tomorrow i want to make a proposition for you two" says Celestia, pointing a golden horseshoe to the human and his companion, "Anyways, all the castle staff knows you both already and will help you two in any way possible while you are here in Canterlot."

"Thank you, your highness, my most sincere apologies for my captain’s behaviour, he actually doesn't like formalities."

"Hey... i didn't blow up half a wall for having fun" quickly steams Haken.

As the human, the android and all the bearers left the throne room, Celestia’s mood changes, the neutral face switching to a pensive one and she begins to form another plan in her mind. While she begins to trot to her room, finally the greatest question of all ponykind was answered, they are not alone in the universe, and apparently...

“Thou art thinking of sending the element bearers with those two to their world, aren’t thou?" Luna asks, interrupting the train of thought of the solar diarch.

"First thing I thought was tagging myself with both Haken and Aschen, but the prospect of leaving my little ponies without one of the regents came to me. After that I thought of sending you instead but that won't work either, besides finally we got our answer. We are not alone, and I think who better to integrate us to all the universe than the element bearers themselves, besides, there is no immediate danger for us here. So we can let them go on an adventure like nopony has seen before." quickly answers Celestia, "besides Lulu, you are reverting to old equish again."

"hehe... sorry... Snow White... pfffHAHAHAHAHA..."

"Oh shut up Luna!!!!"

Canterlot Castle, the next day

Usually, when you wake up, you need to make clear your own priorities. For Haken Browning, those priorities usually start with a cup of coffee, a good girl, and something to pass the early morning hours. This day, however, was one of the weirdest for him, when he is awakened by a ponymaid named Dusty Cleaner... that is, before his brain starts and he remembers all the events of the previous day

"Hmmmm... another adventure, geez i'm too old for this, Cross Gating without destination, a wild card if you ask me" the white-haired man mumbles to himself "Now, what possible thing is Snow White gonna ask me ."

"Good morning, captain." Aschen makes herself known at the end of the guest rooms, "hope that you have had a good night of sleep."

"Hey cinderella, what's up" the cowboy quickly answers, "and before you answer that question, where i can get some eggs or whatever they cooked for breakfast."

"Good morning to both of you, Haken, Aschen, how are you?" asks one of Twilight friends, Rarity, if Haken remembers correctly.

"Can’t complain, little lady, i was on my way to get some food, wanna tag along?"

"Sure, i would love the company, because Applejack snored last night, I couldn’t get my beauty sleep." the alabaster unicorn begins to complain , also guiding the human and his android to the main dining room. "Besides, all the others are there waiting for all of us, apparently Princess Celestia wants to ask both of you something important."

"Well, we have some spare time, knowing that Bomber lady isn't here, so i think we can eat breakfast and get the Cross Gate later for returning to our world." Haken says, opening the doors at the same time

"And that is precisely, the topic that i want to discuss with you both" states Celestia, smiling broadly to both the humans and the white mare, who slightly bows to her sovereign.

"Interesting, apparently the walls arent soundproofed here" states Aschen in her monotone voice, "still, if you want to ask us anything, as the captain bluntly says, what's up for us"

"Direct, and to the point, as always, fair Aschen" Luna says, eyeing the android a little, "My sister and I both want to ask you if you could..."

"Before you end your majesties, if you want us to escort any possible ambassadors to the rest of the Endless Frontier, you need to know that it is dangerous" Haken interrupts Luna, gaining a glare from the remaining ponies, and a little shocked expression from Twilight Sparkle's brother. "The Endless Frontier basically is a vast territory, wild and untamed in some places, heavy populated in others, where the beauty and the danger walk with each other holding hands, and I know that maybe your ambassadors themselves need to fight, and eventually, to "eliminate" some of the dangers that we may encounter, sorry if I am a little blunt, but that is what has kept me alive all this time."

"I understand your reasons perfectly Captain, and I wish to expand our knowledge of all the other species on these worlds. That’s why I want to ask you to escort the element bearers as our Equestrian ambassadors to the Endless Frontier." Celestia states, stunning all the audience with her proclamation.

After 2 seconds of an unnatural silence, 4 of the mares in the room fainted.

Author's Note

wow a little deep, i want to thank (again) to Nightingale95 for editing this, well the next chapter (finally) the equestrians would expand their frontiers, as always any critisism would be appreciated

Crossing the Gate (E)

Canterlot Castle, Dining Room

"Next time, Snow White... don't do that, so much excitement for they to handle... barely you leave horse lady and skittles standing" Haken quickly says, trying to wake up Applejack and Fluttershy, after the proclamation from the royal pony sisters, almost all of the element bearers have fainted in spot the only two standing where Rainbow, who was hovering with her muzzle open, and Twilight who was standing there, an unreadable expression in her face.

"I think next time, your highness, you better debrief all your personnel before you ask us for a proposition this large, besides that, we are mercenaries, and we can't assure your subjects integrity if they doesn't have any combat experience" also adds Aschen, "as the captain previously have mentioned, the Endless Frontier IS dangerous, not all the worlds are peaceful, and many of them do not even have large populations, so they need to know how to defend themselves, our crew is small enough, as we are, up to the captain has to put his shoulder to help to finish our missions."

"Ehhh Cinderella... to much info, anyways, why do you think we accept your proposal, princess."

"The fact Mr. Browning, that i pay you, and besides, the fact that you just answered the question that everypony who has contemplated the stars have, are we alone?" the princess began, "besides, apparently you travel a lot in the Frontier, and us ponies aren't afraid to know of our apparent neighbors, and we need to greet them if they want to enter our realm from the Cross Gates, we are mostly peaceful but that doesn't mean we can't defend ourselves if the time comes."

"I know in my gut that you may be asking me something like that and i can help them IF they want to come, as for the payment, ¿you have some credits?" the cowboy ask.

"Sorry, our currency are the bits, they are gold coins with a little diamond in the center" Celestia quickly answers, "I don't know if you can use them in the other worlds."

"Wait... so you are telling me that your economy is based in a solid gold coin with diamond incrustations?"

"Um, yes, we have an excess of gold and precious stones, so we use them for our currency."

After a little chuckle, the cowboy quickly asks for one bit, examining it he calls Aschen and they begin to whisper each other, after a while, they both come to an apparently agreement and go back to both princesses.

"Ladies, we have an agreement, if they want to come we ask for forty thousand bits for each of the embassadors, half pay in advance." the cowboy say, with a grin, secretly hoping for both princess to decline for an apparently high price for a simple escort mission.

"Ok, that sounds actually fair" Celestia states, getting a dumbfounded expression from Haken, and a gasp from a finally responding Twilight

"So, princess, we are going to a new world" the purple mare asks, when she gets a nod from both alicorns, she quickly begin to jump in small circles and yell "yesyesyesyesyesyes, i wont disappoint both of you, princesses."

"Wait a second horse lady" Haken states, "i told the princesses here that i accept the deal IF all of your pals tag along, because apparently you guys are something special here and i don't want to take unnecessary risks if one of your friends stays behind", his little speech only gets an annoyed glare from Aschen, if that was possible from an android "¿What, can't a guy have a heart and a good intention in a while?" he quickly asks.

"Anyhow" quickly interrupts Luna "I believe thou must take into consideration, all of your friends, Twilight Sparkle."

"Landsakes, I jus' have a darn weirdo dream, th’ princess tell all of us to go on a travel..." they all give deadpanned looks to a wobbling Applejack as she slowly rises herself from the floor, when she notices the stares, she gulped nervously, "ah... ah guess that ain't a dream."

"Nope, farmer girl, welcome to witzworld" Haken states, this time effectively gaining one hit in the back of his head from Twilight.

After a while, all the other element bearers regain consciousness, seeing this, Celestia quickly says "Ok my little ponies, better we go to the throne room and I’ll tell all of you why we do such a proposal to Haken here"

"Agreed" all in the dining room quickly answers, and they began to canter themselves out of the room.

Canterlot Castle, throne room

As soon the last element bearer and both mercenaries enter the throne room, Celestia ask the guards to leave, then she face all the members of the room, and she began "My little ponies, before both Haken and Aschen come here, we all think that we are alone in this universe, i dont want to lie to you, but at some point in our past, we already have seen the cross gate, but when we took a glimpse of the worlds in the other side, we were scared with what we saw, a land devastated by the war" a chorus of gasps was the only response from her audience.

"The Formido Heim war" Haken states somberly, "the most devastating war on our worlds, because this, four or five cross gates were sealed, and others were destroyed, but why the story lesson, Snow White, we already know this" he says, pointing himself and Aschen with his hand.

"Because, Haken Browning, we are a land of peace and harmony" simply states Luna, "and we also seclude ourselves and our little ponies from all the conflicts of all the other worlds, but that come to an end when you both came here yesterday, and we are curious of what became of the war, and also... our origins."

"Woa, woa, timeout Princess" Rainbow Dash say, "are you implying that we have some type of relation with they."

"Actually yes, Rainbow... if i recall correctly, we ponies have a hole in our history" Twilight states "just before the discordian era, we know near to nothing about our race, except some references to the mirror of life or something like that" the studious mare quickly adds.

"Yes indeed, my faithful student, and thats in part the reason that i want you to go with them into the frontier." the white alicorn says, "besides the visions of that war, we could see a dark knight with a blue and a white one, when those 3 are together, all would be revealed."

"Interesting and all, your highness, but still you haven't answered our question" the green android quipes in "all of them, why?" while pointing each mare in the room with a wide sweep of her arm.

"Because, i think this is one event that outpaces us, we, after all are ponies, and we are integrated to these worlds, like it or not... we aren't alone anymore, and if i understand correctly at Haken, that war also is history, is it not?" Luna says, "and besides, they are our national heroines, and thanks to them, we are in peace in the land, so we think that it is time to find another way for made themselves useful for our kingdom, the best think we can think straight out of this, is sending them as ambassadors of our realm."

"I'll do it" Rainbow Dash suddenly says, "this is so awesome, not as awesome as entering the Wonderbolts, but still... SO COOL." that affirmation left the other mares stunned

"I also want to go, darlings" Rarity begin, "but what about our business, or our families... Applejack and myself have a successful businesses, and families to attend to."

"A-And i have to attend my animal friends..." chimes a little voice from Fluttershy.

"My little ponies" Celestia speak again, "don't worry about it, about the business of Rarity and Applejack, we gladly help to support them, and we can assign some workhorses in Sweet Apple Acres, as well at Carousel Boutique, and for your animals, kind Fluttershy, we can get somepony who can take care of them, even i can get Soft Paw here from the castle to keep an eye on them."

"ummm... its... OK... i guess"

"Still i don't know, yer Highness, are ya sure we are up to th' task at hand" Applejack’s question lingered in the air for a second, " b'sides, ya know that ol' saying "don’t count your chickens before they hatch", still concerned 'bout mah family."

"Applejack, i know this is a hard choice, but i promise to you that your family is going to be alright, and i personally promise to deliver the message of your departure as an ambassador, besides "you scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours."

"Can't argue with that... alrighty, coun' me in."

"So far, we have 4 mares ready to go" luna declares, "Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Applejack, "what about you Pinkie Pie, or yourself, generous Rarity?"

"DUH, all my friends are going, so I’ll be going too" Declares Pinkie Pie, getting all the mares in a group hug.

"If your highnesses promises us all of the things you say, I don't have more issues against going, so i will go." declares the alabaster unicorn.

"OK ladies, sorry for cutting this moment short" Haken says, "but if you are going, you will need something to protect yourselves with, also some supplies for the travel, because we left the Zeit a little far away from the Mai Terra, so we are going to wait for you for an hour to get ready, meet us in the entrance of the cross gate, horse lady knows the way" he finish, pointing at Twilight with his Night Fowl.

"Actually..." Celestia begin...

Canterlot Castle, private garden

"I'm not mad... but still... this is unexpected" Haken states, while seeing the cross gate standing in the middle of the garden in the royal palace, apparently while they were discussing all the details of the visit to the other world, Celestia have ordered to move the gate from the excavation site where it was to the gardens, and apparently the gate had activated when they placed it, without any energy source nearby.

"Captain, I have finished the scan on the cross gate, it is stable and fully functional, I can give the green light to go back to the Mai Terra." Aschen states, after passing to the gate and seeing the other side.

"Any anomalies?"

"No sir, all is working in perfect condition, and I have contacted Lee to bring our ship near the Mai."

As they were talking, the element bearers enter the garden, each one with a saddlebag, and with some clothes, Rarity have a sleeveless white dress with a little purple highlight, and some jewelry that matches, Rainbow has a little jacket with a belt matching the colors from her cutiemark, Applejack, as always, has her trademark stetson, this time with a vest and she was bearing a huge pair of saddlebags, Fluttershy has a little green and yellow dress, and a first aid kit, Pinkie pie has a spy gear, with the night vision goggles and everything, and Twilight has an ensemble that remind the other mares a certain showmare, but akin to Twilight, with a purple cape, a greek styled toga and without the hat, after AJ, Twilight has the second most huge saddlebags on the group.

"Wow... THAT was unexpected" Haken begin, "I thought that you guys never used clothes"

"Usually we don't" interjects Twilight, "but if i understand correctly, all the other races in the frontier are used to wear clothes all the time, so we think this is an accepting gear... well mostly" the mare says, glaring daggers at the party pony.

"Anyhow... Are you ready, my little ponies" Celestia says, pointing to the gate, "I really hope that all you have a good trip, and please be careful, Equestria relies on you to give a good first impression in the frontier."

In the meantime, Haken stands near the gate, a little smile in his face, and then he quickly interrupts Celestia "OK ladies, hands at your sides all the time and remember to take care at the exit" then he hops into the portal in a childish way, encouraged by him, Pinkie Pie hops next, followed by Twilight, Rarity, Rainbow Dash (pulling Fluttershy by her tail) and Applejack, then Aschen follows.

As soon as the green clothed woman disappears, the gate begins to glow with a blinding white, and then all the ponies in the garden fainted, even the princesses.

Mai Terra, Support Generator Room (Equestrian Crossgate)

"Whoa... what a ride" Haken says, slowly standing up and checking all his companions, however, when he takes a better look on the six ponies, he facepalmed and exclaims

"OK... maybe we could have a problem here"

"Ughhh... my head, what the hay happened" a cyan figure try to stand, only to faceplant in the floor.

"Hey... why am I feeling all weird?" The stuntmare try to stand again, flailing a hand for a better grip, then suddenly she was completely still.

"Haken?"

"Uh... yes Skittles?"

"I have a hand?"

"Apparently, and for the record, you aren't the only one who has changed"

"Thought so" the cyan ex mare said, and promptly she began to scream.

A brand new world (E)

Mai Terra, Support Generator Room (Equestrian Crossgate)

"O' for Celestia’s white beard stop screamin' like a filly Dash!!!" A very disgruntled Applejack complains, regaining consciousness in a very uncommon way "What in tarnation got YAHHHHHHHHH HORSEAPPLES I HAVE HANDS!!!???"

"eh... yes Applejack" Haken answers.

"Heh... this is funny" Pinkie Pie quickly stands, and as hastily as she stands, she begins to wobble and again she met the floor, "umm Aschie... a little help here?"

"Captain, we have a problem" the green android states, blatantly ignoring the pink ex-pony, "Apparently, all the ambassadors have changed when they cross the gate." the statement apparently work his own magic, because after that sentence leave her lips, all of the other element bearers quickly came to their senses, screaming and, in a shy ex pegasus’ case, toppling over and staying frozen on the cold floor.

"You don’t say" Haken sarcastically answers, "now in business, we need to move over this accident, divine intervention or whatever the fuck happened here and go to the Zeit, anypo- ah crap, anyone can actually move from itself?" the cowboy asks, quickly receiving a lot of dirty glares "heh... ok i guess no, Aschen, please close the door, before we go, we need to teach them something easy... for us anyways, walking on two legs."

"Yes captain" the android answers, and then she made her way to a control panel at the side of a reinforced door, after messing a while with the datapad on her wrist, Aschen successfully closes the door to the room.

"Ok ladies, we need to get this done the quickest way possible, luckily for us, we have a lot of passageways here because the generators below us, and that means that they have railing, so, please stand." all of the mares complied, the two ex earth ponies suppasing her companions in keep their balance at hand, all things considered, the next hour went quickly, Haken teaching them with a ocassional slip on their feet, how to stand and walk properly. At first, all the mares with caution begin to take their first steps on two hooves, demonstrating not all of their bodies change, but still getting the railing at hand, but lately, all of them succesfully overcame their fear of heights and easily walked the corridors surrounding the cross gate, Raimbow Dash and Fluttershy using their wings as they were about to lose the balance (in the specific case of Raimbow, trying to gain more height and fly, trying to avoid all the walking process if possible)

"Consarnit Rainbow" The apple farmer bellows, when she lost her balance and fall in her rump for the third time in a row "you don't know how i hate you right now, missy."

"Chillout AJ, this is easy-peasy" the speedster taunted. Still, her voice came a little strained, keeping herself afloat a little in the air while talking to the orange mare, "need a hoof?"

"Hey Skittles, don’t cheat, walk without using your wings" Haken commands with a stern voice, helping Rarity while Aschen lifts up a slightly dazed Twilight, who just has face-planted against a wall.

"Ok... ok... party-pooper" Dash muttered, floating down and strolling a little before she entangles herself with her tail and falls towards Pinkie Pie, knocking both mares to the floor.

"Heh... serves you right, darling" Rarity says, with a smirk, "Haken here is actually teaching us because we need to acclimate to this... setback, as it where.", the fashonista continues, "and also i need to refit all of our clothes, because they left almost nothing to imagination."

"I, for starters, don't really mind" the white haired man comments, gaining a glare for almost every female in the room, "aaaanyways, Rares here is right, you need to find something more fitting."

A quick electronic beep made everyone in the room stop what they were doing and made them turn to Haken, who at the time was going through the small monitor on his wrist, checking something, after that, a blueish image appears in the middle of the room, and the image begin to speak

"Hi captain, this, for the matter, is a prerecorded, Lee and myself are outside the Mai waiting for you, still, father Jhon asked us to rely a message for you, if you can check the mild kei inside the wreckage and look for a VIP missing from the next world, Kagura Amaraha, would be greatly appreciated, all the further info is downloaded in Aschen while you are listening this, and the Zeit is outside the Mai Terra, waiting for you to return.

"What in the name of Celestia was that" Twilight quickly recovers from her encounter against the wall and promptly was beside Haken, making the cowboy a little uncomfortable, "who is that person?, what is a record?. what she mean with downloading in Aschen, wh-"

"Well... we lost egghead here, anyways, what's up with that Haken?" Rainbow asks, pointing the hologram and Aschen.

"Ugh... short story, we need to move now, you guys are up to it?" Haken states, while going to the door, when he opens it, the bowels of the ship where pitch black, but sidestepping in the first corridor, a dim yellow light began to appear at regular intervals on the walls, giving a little light to the party, the interior of the wrecked ship was a sign on it's own, deep green metal plates on the floor and baby green plates on the walls and ceiling, some cave in corridors with debris from outside, but miraculously the main halls stay in pristine conditions, some of the zones inside the ship still are dark, and at the end of the corridor, a big gate with a giant number two stands, blocking the passage further in.

"Aschen, if you would be so kind..." begin the man, pointing the giant door, meanwhile all the ex-mares slowly follow them.

"..."

"Well, captain, we cannot go further in, and before you ask, no, i can't open the gate from this side without the cardkey."

"Oh bummer, well i guess we can get some of the auxiliary corridors and search for the missing VIP." the cowboy states, but before he could add something, the pink pony begin to quiver.

"Uhhh sugarcube", Applejack says, looking concerned, "are ya alright?"

"I feel a doozy" the pink party pony exclaims, while vibrating in one place... "TWITCHY TAIL!!" suddenly she screamed

Haken was looking in disbelief when suddenly various things happened at once, first, a large roof panel comes crashing down from the ceiling, all the mares jump aside (Pinkie dragging an still dumbfounded Haken with her), Secondly, a black haired woman falls from the ceiling, carrying a great sword as tall as she is, and finally a pair of sentry drones appear from one of the auxiliary corridors, aiming all the threats with their arms.

"Great, now we have a welcoming committee" the still dazed human mumbles, regaining his balance, "Aschen, could you please help me to protect all the ladies here"

"Affirmative captain, commencing battle sequence" the android states, also standing, but before they could engage, the backpack of the pink pony begin to shine, seeing this, Twilight crawls to her side and open the container, finding the elements of harmony, and then, all the elements shoot foward their respective owners, changing shape.

"Ok... i wasn't expecting that" Haken says, seeing in awe.

Author's Note

Next chapter, engage, all the mares gain a new weapon, suggestions on that ?.... also, Pinkie... why did you have all the elements in the first place !!!!????

First Encounter (E)

Mai Terra, Support generator exit, A level

When the glow subsides, Haken stares dumbfounded at all the equestrians, their clothes have changed again and they have some weapons with them, for twilight, she now wears a pair of black/red sneakers, black cargo pants with some metal knee protectors, a grey tank top, fingerless gloves and large, black cape with a golden clasp at her left arm, and her right arm was now enveloped in a golden, sealed tube, also she wears a hip holster with a two barreled gun sheathed in the left side, and in the belt she has a lot of shining bullets and a little book with chains connected to the holster, Applejack still wears her trademark stetson, but she now has white and black boots, gray jeans, a white shirt with a black cross pattern, a hoodie vest and a huge broadsword, Pinkie Pie has a lot in common now with Aschen, as now she has a black one piece with blue and pink armor parts covering her chest, hands, knees legs and feet, and she now was carrying a beam sword and a gun, Rainbow Dash now has a pair of shorts, sneakers and a blue tank with her cutie mark, a hoodie vest, fingerless gloves and a belt with a pair of daggers crossed in her lower back, Rarity and Fluttershy both have a dress like set of armor, also wearing fingerless gloves and a little chest protector, Rarity with an elegant, needle like white rapier and fluttershy with a glowing red, ominous sword, all bearing their cutiemarks on one way or another.

"What the hay" the speedster was the first to recover, "the elements transformed into this?" she says, while fidgeting with the daggers.

"GIRLS, now isn't the time to examine your new toys, now get your asses down so we can get out alive" Haken bellows, but at the same time, a huge metal fist collides with him, getting the cowboy airborne and hitting a wall, after that, Haken falls to the floor, coughing violently.

"Captain!!!" Aschen quickly stands and goes to the side of the human, "several cracked ribs, and a broken arm, well sir, it was an honor to serve under your command."

"Shut it, Cinderella, it isn't over yet" the weakened human states, pointing a finger to the girls "they still are up and ready to fight."

"NOBODY HURTS MY FRIENDS!!" Rainbow yells, charging ahead and knocking one of the security drones, after that, all the girls except Fluttershy and Twilight charges forward, unsheathing their weapons and getting ready for combat, Fluttershy still paralyzed at the display, but quickly getting her bearings, gets near to Haken and quietly whispers "i can help."
"How?" the human asks, before coughing again

"I don't know, but i know that i can help" the former animal caretaker states, and her hands began to glow in a gentle yellow light, engulfing both the cowboy and Twilight in a gentle light sphere.

"Infinite kindness, and the power to protect us all, grant me the power of the wind, HEALING MAGIC"

"How Fluttershy can do magic" Twilight asks to the light, "she is a pegasus"

"It doesn’t matter child, she, after all, is a bearer, and in this world, the magic is for everyone that can grasp its power, besides that, you have to save all your friends"

"What about me, i can't get my arm free from this damn tube" the purple unicorn exclaims in annoyance, trying to pull of the golden tube "how can i be of help being crippled?"

"You are not crippled, child, merely your new magic is dormant, this time I'll help you to awaken your power, but you need to come and accept that with your magic, also comes a great danger for you and your friends"

"That would help us to survive?" Twilight asks.

"Yes"

"Then awaken the magic, and i deal later with all the consequences."
"Are you sure child?, you now are the holder of a very dangerous manifestation of the elements, the element gun"

Twilight cringed a little, but remembering all her friends (including Haken and Aschen) are out there, fighting, made her resolve

"do it"

"Very well"

Meanwhile, Rainbow has cornered a pair of security drones in the back, Applejack was helping the red and black haired woman with a behemoth, and Aschen was standing still, awaiting for his captain and the other two to reappear from the light sphere in the middle of the room, meanwhile Pinkie was strangely silent.

"Darling, move" Rarity exclaims as she tackled the pink pony when a robot launches a missile barrage towards them.

"Releasing" Pinkie suddenly speak in a low voice, her hair flattening out in a very alarming way, "A.G.W.S system online, getting targets.... targets acquired, changing into combat mode"

"Darling wha-" the fashionista states, before Pinkies arm suddenly shot out and grabbed her neck, effectively drowning out Rarity's voice.

"Stand aside and don’t interfere" Pinkie growls, before tossing Rarity against Aschen, unbalancing the android effectively, then she jumps into the fray.

"Pinkie, what the hay was that for, not cool" Dash exclaims, while dodging some melee attacks from the drones, only to get one kick in her gut and also getting the cyan mare airborne, "oh no, you don’t kick THE Dash, you piece of junk."

"Wait till later to chew on Pinkie, Dash", the apple farmer yells, before blocking with her blade, and also getting trow through the room, "b'sides, i think Pinks here has lost a few apples from the bushel, as th' say goes, now RARITY... GIT!!"

"Ok darling... wait till i get my bearings and i will be of assistance" the white mare half yell, still shocked for the reaction of her pink friend, but also noticing one of the drones getting in her and Aschen direction, slowly standing up, Rarity gets into a defensive stance, crossing the rapier with the energy blade that the drone has, and screeching "en garde."

In the same moment, Haken, Fluttershy and Twilight emerges from the light, a steel resolve in their eyes, and Twilight extend her golden covered arm, speaking

"It’s moving"

All the tube begin to glow, and then it disappear, transforming into golden mist, then it began to reshape in the form of a bracelet, then a handle and a chamber from a magnum, then a tri barreled gun appeared, all put together with some weird looking extensions, and at the end assembling all the parts together

"Element gun, dissolve"

All the others stay flabbergasted as Twilight get 3 bullets from her belt, and get in front of the last Behemoth in the room, meanwhile, Pinkie just stand aside against a wall and smirks, before collapsing.

"I just have chose the souls for the likes of you" Twilight yells, pointing her finger to the monster in front of her.

"First, Loyal to no bounds, as the blue sky, Cyan metal"

"Second, Honest as the earth beneath us, Brown polish"

"Last, all the Magic that gather us as friends, Burning Violet"

"Roar... i summon you... HIDRA" Twilight yells, as she fired the gun against the enormous gollem, all three bullets spiralling slowly before they impact against the machine, suddenly a heavy mist manifested itself in the room, when it dissipated, a hydra was standing against the machine, and they began to fight each other, meanwhile Twilight silently watching how the summoned monster teared the mechanical one, when finally all that remains in the room was only pieces of junk, all the spectators in the room slowly release a breath they didn’t know they were holding.

"Twi... remember never get you in a bad mood whenever you can summon that... ok" Haken speaks, before all of their friends crush them in a hug, which was suddenly interrupted by a polite cough and a snicker from the door.

"Mind if I join you, captain?" a tall humanoid figure stands against the light that flooded the room from the outside, when all the others could see through the light, a yellow and black, furry tiger-man give to the cowboy a hand, chuckling all the way through it, "sorry to all of you for bearing with our captain, and thanks by the way for helping him, im Lee Ly, and in befall of all the crew of the Zeit Kocodrill" he says while guiding all the group outside the ship.

"Welcome to the Endless Frontier."

Author's Note

Ok first off thanks to all my readers out there, glad that you actually give this story a chance, secondly (as always) a big thank you to Nightingale95 for editing this.

wow, two weeks before an update (curse you writting block), anyhow, the weapons in this chapter are based on some animes/videogames that i really like, and part of the delay rely on my search of perfectionism in suiting each element bearer with her weapon so i give a little description on each one.

Twilight got the Demon gun from Final Fantasy Unlimited, and later on ill get for you all the descriptions of the summons and the bullets that she would use, making she a limited caster.

Applejack got the Rave, from Groove Adventure Rave, also she would be gaining her additional sword forms in the proggresion of the element bearer's journey.

Raimbow Dash was a little hard, finally i got for her the Heaven Daggers, a little variation from the evolutive swords from Magic Knight Rayearth.

Pinkie Pie got the A.G.W.S from Xenosaga, and before you get my ass for getting her a massive destructive weapons, mind you that she can't use those at its full potential (yet) because she needs to get over her past (pinkamena hint here, no more spoilers.)

Fluttershy and Rarity got a combo weapon, and that is because the relationship that they have in the series (and i know that Shy actually knows Raimbow before Rarity, but actually those two didnt get along too well, au contraire, Rares and Shy do, so i got for them the Shining Force rapier and broadsword, Luminis and Auram.

And as always any comments, suggestions and whalnot ill be happy to get those.

Aftermatch (E)

Zeit Krokodil bridge

"Well ladies" Haken begin "sideswiping the bumpy start, and as Lee already has told you, welcome to the Frontier." his speech, however, fall on deaf ears as all of the element bearers are in awe seeing the scenery that the ship frontal window. this part of the world was a very big dessert, with lonely mountains in the far west corner of the observation deck, however, the horizon was obstructed by a large metallic form rising from the sand and pointing to the open sky, and at the west, lays one city, out marked by its shiny surface, almost like the Crystal empire, most of the mares thought.

"well, for starters, the landmarks, the great metallic thing on the horizon is another wreckage ship, the Shafen Celeste, near it you find the city of Throdel Stat, which is where we are heading currently, and to the south is the Nethergarde Fortress, one of the relics of the war" Haken say, pointing each of the landmarks, and gaining some attention over most of the mares. however, Twilight just stared all the landmarks, and let out a heavy sigh.

"What's up Twi" Applejack ask "Normally you will be more excited than a cow going to India."

"I don’t know" begin the purple mare "i am worried, what if Celestia actually give us more than we can chew, and also why we change our bodies, not that i am complaining, this far and we can stand and try to help but still..." she trailed off "What if we become monsters ourselves?"

"What do you mean darling?" Rarity says, moving herself near the librarian

"You know what i mean!" Twilight screams, gaining all the attention from her friends, also a bemused look from Haken, Aschen, and the others on the bridge "Haken almost die today guarding us from those things, we learn new magic, powers and weapons from the most powerful relics from OUR world, what if the elements corrupt us, what if... " she trailed off, sobbing and finally turning around and running out the bridge.

"TWILIGHT" All the mares exclaimed, before a bemused Haken hop down to the exit, blocking the only way out from the bridge and also gaining some hateful glares from the element bearers.

"¡Let us go!" Bellowed Rainbow Dash, trying to move the cowboy out of the way "Our friend need us and..."

"No" the white-haired man interrupted Rainbow Dash, effectively winning over looks with hatred from the other mares "she need to solve this problem alone, besides, I think you are handling it better than her, some of you had already seen death near you, so firstly cool off and secondly wait here, i will handle the horse lady myself" he states, before going through the open hatch and closing it behind him.

"The things i do for money" Haken muttered, before sighing heavily and going after the purple mare.

After searching in the barracks, the pit and the engine room, the human was beginning to wonder if he could have all of the others to help search for the purple librarian, when suddenly he heard sobbing on the observation deck, when he reached the door, against the railing, he finally found the purple mare weeping uncontrollably, looking the remoteness, his arm wrapped in golden tube against her lap while the other was holding the railing, as if this were to give an answer to the distressed librarian/ ambassador of the planet Equs.

"Hey there, horse lady" the human cheerly says.

"H-Haken, I-I am sorry" Twilight says between sobs "I-I know i should be e-excited but still i don't know what to think off all t-this."

"Just take it on stride" The man say bluntly.

"Beg your pardon?" the mare says, between sobs

"Just take it on stride" Haken repeat himself "I know that in this moment you are on distress, but think about it, i don’t know most of you story but if your princess thinks that you can represent a change for your dimension and gave you and your friends this opportunity, she would have her motives, besides, if you are worried about what others think of your choices, you will live only to walk pleasing to others, on the other hand, what you did today, defend your friends and a poor fool who is more interested in money than really help, says enough of the type of wom ... mare you are."

"I... I don’t know what to say" begins Twilight

"Hey, you are a mess right now, besides, you can always count on your friends" he tells her, gaining a smile in return.

"I feel like a fool" begin the mare "i mean, when i entered Celestia's school for gifted unicorns, i had a magical flare, almost destroying the building, i turned my parents into potted plants, for Celestia's sake" she continued, half laughing "but still then, when i saw all lost, Celestia came for me and help me overcome that flare, and making me her pupil, then all the havoc in the summer sun celebration, Nightmare Moon, Discord, the parasprites... i don’t think i have a normal week before tartarus break loose on the town that i now call home" she continues, "now here i am, Twilight lost in wonderland, with some jester knight..."

"Hey!!"

"and my friends fighting our way to make equestria known to all the other realms" she finalizes, Haken just staring at her, and Twilight seeing the horizon, a beautiful sunset on the new land that she and her friends are exploring right now.

"hey horse lady, do you want to hear a story?" Haken suddenly asks, gaining a raised eyebrow as a response

"I really don’t mind right now, thanks" She answered

"What about you guys" the human yells, after a while, five other mares came into view, all of them sporting sheepish smiles all the way along.

"Hi there guys" Twilight begins, then suddenly she almost disappear in a group hug from all her friends, gaining a small chuckle from Haken, Lee and Marion were on the superior railing, eavesdropping on the conversation.

"ok the story is like this" Haken begin.

"What made this world the way it is ?
Some say that it has existed like this for tens of thousands of years
other says it always has been like this...

But not a soul knows the truth, only one thing is for sure
the worlds are infinitely far apart, yet are extremely close
connected by a series of holes known as Cross Gates.

At first, contact with entities from other worlds created great confusion,
and eventually led to conflict
That fight ended, as wars do...

and for a time, peace was maintained
through a delicate balance of power...
But 23 years ago...

the wreckage from a battleship from
another world crashed down.

This led to the events that would change
the history of these worlds forever...

The history of the Endless Frontier
What is so special about this place that
it would deserve a name like that ?

Countless people from a number of worlds,
and even different time periods, all live together
all from across the infinity of time and space.

This is the Endless Frontier."

When Haken finish, he could see the amazed looks and the wonder of adventure on the mare's eyes, and he chuckles again, making all the M6 to blush and look away, half ashamed.

"Ok i have decided" Suddenly Twilight say, surprising to all other mares, "I will not let that doubt scare me again, Celestia chose us for a reason, i am still wondering what Pinkie Pie was doing with the elements, but now we are the ambassadors of Equestria in the Endless Frontier, and we will do our best not to disappoint the princesses and all those who stay behind."

When she finishes, all the other mares cheered, when suddenly the book on Twilight's hip begin to glow, all the chains breaking loose, and then a brilliant white light temporarily blinds all, when it vanished, a little purple and green boy was on the floor of the observation deck.

"SPIKE!!!" all the mares shout in disbelief "What in Celestia's name are you doing here!!!"

Training Day (part one)

Zeit Krokodril, observation deck

"Woah, next time, ill ask Celestia to trow me trough that portal thingy" Spike groggily says, seeing around him all the mares and the others in the bridge with their mouths hanging open, "so, what did i miss?" the young drake asks.

"Spike, you just appeared from Twilight's weird spellbook and only say "what did i miss?!!!" Rainbow almost shout, "wait a minute... how exactly you appear from Twi's book anyway?"

"Well, first off, everypony in equestria now is a bipedal thingie like all you six, second of all, Blueblood has become somekind of religious fool or something like that as Luna puts it, and thirdly, blueblood has overtrown both princesses and make all us who follow the "Twin witches" as he puts it, traitors to the crown" Spike quickly summarizes, doing quotation marks in the air as he speaks about the snooty prince.

"Wait a sec, are ya tellin' us that that dang rotten wannabe prince overtrow both th' princesses and now they are on th' run?" a concerned applejack asks.

"And now he is rampaging across Equestria chasing up all the other ponies who still are with Celestia and Luna?" Rarity chimes in.

"A-and he is being mean a-against other ponies, because the changes t-that the Crossgate do on everypony?" Fluttershy wispers.

"Eeeeh pretty much so, anyways how are you girls doing" asks the young drake, ignoring the shock stares of all the mares around him, and the bemused look of the bounty hunter on the top of the observation deck.

"Wait for it..." begin to speak Haken.

"ARE YOU INSANE!!!!" all the mares in the deck shouted, effectively trowing the drake off balance "WHAT IN CELESTIA'S MANE ARE YOU THINKING SPIKE, WE NEED TO GO BACK AND HELP EQUESTRIA".

"No you dont" Haken states, "did you remember where Snow White and her sister put the gate?"

"Yes, she put it on the castle courtyard... which is now in the hooves of Blueblood" Rainbow Dash states, suddenly crestfallen of noticing its only way home out of their reach at the moment.

"Exactly" Aschen states "now the best course of action is to wait a little, fortify any political relationships that you would possibly have and hope for the best, also, your new appeareance also gets you powerful new weapons, but tell me, in all honesty, do you know how to wield them?"

"..."

"Thats what i was thinking" Lee says, "now, i think we can spare a few moments with all of you to properly teaching how to wield and use all the new weaponry that you got, also it works with Haken, Aschen, and the raven haired girl over there."

"Eeep" the stranger who came with all exclaimed, quickly earning looks of disbelief, and in the case of some speed demon, a small laugh as the situation reminds some friend of hers, "sorry for being a burden, i am Kaguya Nambu, and i was lost in that weird cave when those karakuri attacked me."

"kara what now?" Applejack asked, "the only thing we found in the remains after crossing the gate was a room with machines and just after that you literally fall from the ceiling, sugarcube."

"Well... you see..." Kaguya begins, but it was rudely interrupted by Haken.

"OK farmgirl, skittles, shy, party animal, fashionista and egghead, I think we're getting off topic here, Lee, where we can stop for a quick course of combat strategies, as well of weapons training in short and long range?" Haken quickly adds, gaining again some stares and a bemused expression from both the were tiger and the elf in the upper deck, "what, the fastest we get this out of the way, the fastest we can go again to your world to save Snow white and the rippoff of Gandalf the Gray no?"

"Well... OK... i think we can do that" Twilight hesitantly states, "girls, are you allright with this? probably ahead of us we might use these weapons to injure severely or even kill somepony, if you dont want to do it please tell me."

"Darling, although some of us do not want to interfere in such as barbaric activity that is fighting, does not change the fact that we need more practice with these bodies and weapons, plus, we decided to come for ourselves, accepting the risks and potential problems that could present themselves coming here." Rarity, of all ponies present, suddenly proclaims, earning a look of disbelief from her other pony friends.

"Atta girl" Haken exclaims, "we already know that not everybody will want to go to the front of a battle, so you guys are going to train in various combat scenarios against us as we arrived at Trodel Stat, starting with just open combat if Lee find a suitable site for this. "

"OK cap, clear ahead" Lee shouts from the cockpit

"Yes, thank you Lee, give a message to pops for me will ya" Haken shouted back "tell the old man that we have a little contingence and we need to spend the next day on a little... investigation, we arrive to Trodel the after tomorrow."

"Aye aye, cowboy."

"Sometimes i think you dont respect me as a captain" Haken sighs, "oh well, girls get ready for a dropoff on the next clear, and get all your stuff out, well be a little busy teaching all of you how to do some heavy ass-kicking."

Fifteen minutes later, all the girls plus one were tiger, one android and one disgruntled human came out of the massive transportation into a little meadow, the place was little, but very cozy, with a lot of trees, a river on the far end of the green hills provides clean water and a sense of relaxation immediately fell on the group.

"Okay lasses, heads up" Lee sternly commands, evaporating all the relaxing thougts, "we are here to train all of you on fighting strategies and styles, so line up and we tell you wich one will be training you girls"

After another fifteen minutes, all the girls are succesfully paired or in small groups with their future instructors, Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy are with Lee and Kaguya, Haken begins with Twilight and Aschen was paired with Pinkie Pie and Raimbow Dash, and soon the clashes of steel against steel and the indiscutible sound of gunfire quickly overruns the calmness of the meadow.

Author's Note
