The Avengers Tower.

"The vile ponies!"
"The pretty, vile ponies!"
"This is an act of war!"
The entirety of the Avengers League of superheroes was reunited, discussing the matter of pastel-colored horses invading the planet.
"Worry not, my comrades. This will not stand! America will not stand for this!" Said Batman.
"What are you doing here?"
And Batman could respond not, for he was no Avenger.
All this tied up with his tragic past....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gotham City.
20 years ago.
Bruce Wayne had a comfortable life. Butlers, a mansion, more money than he could ever use. He was born the son of Wayne, a King of America and the Emperor of Gotham. Born to Martha and What's-His-Name Wayne. If there was a thing worth noting about him, though, was his unsettling lack of sympathy and a certain lack of fear. But that's a given when you are not only born to a billionaire, but also when they happen to be the most dangerous crime lords in America and you were expected to inherit the business once papa got killed. There were no peaceful deaths in the family.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Man, that's not tragic at all. That's kind of awesome." Said the Hulk.
"I'm still richer than you." Said Tony Stark when a bullet penetrated the windows, shattering them as they did the silence.
Tony Stark is dead.
From the windows came the Cyborg Ninjas, blending with the Light. They became one with invisibility, to achieve true stealth. Stealth beyond stealth.
The Avengers tried to defend against the invisible onslaught, yet, one by one, they saw themselves overwhelmed by the cybo-ninjas. It took a hail of cybo-Ninja Stars to finish the job.
Black Widow is dead.
Hawkeye is dead.
Thor is dead.
"No,ninjas, it is the ponies who deserve death, not us!" Batman tried reasoning with them.
But the cyborgs did not listen, for they had no soul.

"So, do we know if the vanguard was successful? It's been 3 months!" Wonders the honor guard.
"Just be patient! I'm sure my sister will give the signal any moment now." Responds the Sun Princess.
But she shall receive no signal today. Not ever.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She lies in a restless sleep.
"Pinkie. You must transcend mortality!" said a voice.
"But I don't want to transcend!" Returned the pony.
"Then you shall die!" and the voice turned into a dragon? But it was no mere dragon, it was Spike, all grown up!
"You shall become the bearer of hope or I shall force you!"
"Never!" The stubborn Pink Pony retorted.
And so they wrestled for 10 days straight, day and night, not once giving out, neither of them.
Pinkie had to learn her destiny, to accept it, to become the mask. Spike would help.

Inside the Bossom of Insanity.
Detroit.
15:21
A mysterious, cloaked figure stands in the hills. He sees the impending destruction of both MAN! and ponies.
"It begins."
