With multiple magic incidents happening in the human world, but humans woefully unprepared to deal with them, Princess Twilight decides that it's high time somepony fixed it.

It's not like they're going to refuse, right?

I originally wanted to enter this in a horror story contest.  Twilight develops a new spell to get to the human world.  Instead of going through the mirror portal, she and her friends just occupy the bodies of their counterparts.  They then fight evil with kawaii magical girl abilities.  Then, the reveal, the human girls are none too thrilled about being possessed and their bodies used for battling monsters.  It was maybe not as good of an idea as it could have been.





Down at Sugarcube Corner on a lazy Saturday morning, six girls sat around a table.  They were regulars.

The waitress had just departed the counter with a tray of pastries and was on her way across the room to deliver their order when a thundering explosion and a flash of light detonated outside - and close.  The windows blew inward, shards of glass flying through the room.  

Outside, through dust and smoke, an army of misshapen creatures advanced.  They were a variety of shapes and sizes, all of them seeming to have more in common with deep sea creatures than anything else on the planet.  Their mere appearance would have been enough to cause public panic, but the attack clearly marked them as a threat.

The group of girls had been buried under debris and their table in the explosion, but were quick to get up.  “Not bad, we arrived less than ten seconds after activating the spell,” said Princess Twilight, examining her hands.  There had been the usual burst of color as her essence was pulled from one universe to another, as much as such things could be usual, anyway.  It actually had started to be somewhat run-of-the-mill since she'd developed the spell.  It had really increased trips to the other world.

The human world was usually only accessible from Equestria via the mirror portal.  Considering how much business Twilight and her friends were finding in the other world lately, the spell she had developed let them go any time they wanted, though via a slightly different method.

Twilight looked around at the destruction.  “What did we get called here for this time?  Looks like some kind of attack.  Is everypony okay?”

“Well, we are,” Applejack replied.  Several people around the room had been hurt by falling objects or flying glass.

“They’ll need help.  Fluttershy?”  Twilight turned towards the open front of the building.  “Alright, power up and let’s do this!”

Rainbow light began to swirl around the six of them, altering clothing, and also their bodies.  Ears, tails, and other anatomical bits lifted from ponies appeared, not to mention whole other limbs such as wings.  A sparkle and a shine, and it was done, the Elements of Harmony, ready to go.

The girls ran into the street.
