Nightshade sighed as he removed the shard from his chest and placed it in the middle of the throne room between the portals. The newly constructed portal Thyme had made was glowing a little differently than the other ones.
"There's no time like the present is there?" Nightshade asked himself as threw his gear on. Star Bright and Thyme came around the corner and saw Nightshade getting ready to leave once more. Star Bright was about to go to him but Thyme smiled and put a hoof on her shoulder.
"I actually want to go with him this time," Thyme said. Star Bright looked from Thyme to Nightshade and smiled with a slight nod. Thyme giggled, "I wanna see what this new realm is like before anypony else! Watch out world!" Thyme cheered as she flew in the air and pushed Nightshade through the portal.
Thyme squealed in joy as she rode on Nightshade's back and the two landed in the middle of a desert. Nightshade growled and forced Thyme off of him. Thyme fell on her face and stood. Nightshade turned and immediately blushed.
Thyme got up and was about to punch him but she noticed his expression, "What's wrong?" she asked. Nightshade wouldn't speak and just covered his face pointing at her. Thyme looked at herself and blushed.
Nightshade growled and wiped his face, "Well for one you aren't a pony anymore," he said throwing her some clothes from his pack. Thyme had become a busty human female wearing only panties and a slim bra. Thyme took the clothes and scowled.
"How come I have to wear guys clothes huh?!" Thyme growled putting them on. Night-shade turned to her and snapped his fingers as she finished putting them on. The clothes Nightshade had given her had become a short tank top showing off her slim stomach and tight blue shorts.
Thyme looked herself over and felt her hair flow in the wind. That made her giggle and laugh. Nightshade smiled and closed his bag. A large explosion erupted in behind the two and Thyme jumped onto Nightshade. Nightshade fell back a step and turned towards the explosion. A large robot stood before them…. It was really big…
Nightshade whistled and got Thyme off of his back, "Well this got a little interesting," he said smiling. Nightshade approached the robot, "Hi there! Are you an inhabitant of this fair land?" he asked.
The Robot stood and roared, "Another filthy human?! DIE!" it screamed as it prepared to fire. Nightshade scowled and drew forth his blades as the robot fired its bullets. Nightshade deflected each of the bullets with ease and focused his energy into his black sabre and sent forth a massive energy that sliced the robots arm down the middle.
The robot's expression changed to fear as Nightshade swiped at the air with his white sabre sending another wave of energy that sliced the robot in half! The robot fell and erupted into flames. Nightshade put up a barrier around himself and Thyme as the blade's washed over the landscape.
A wave of green energy passed over them both and the fire went away, "You know we appreciate the flashy play and attacks but come on you've gotta give us some fun to ya know?" a loud cry called. Nightshade and Thyme turned to see another large robot and Nightshade smiled.
The robot opened up and a man with red glasses and a red cape climbed out. Thyme smiled and noticed another person climb down from the top of robot. The man smiled as he approached Nightshade.
"Don't know what kind of tech you're wearing but I like it! Your weapons are super bad ass to! But they're nothing in comparison to my fighting spirit!" The man yelled. Thyme giggled at the man.
Nightshade smiled as the man was about to speak, "I appreciate the talk. I take it the thing I just fought had something I wouldn't wanna meet inside of it huh?" he asked. The man stopped and nodded.
The boy came up and looked at Thyme and Nightshade, "Are you two from another village?" he asked. The man turned and glared, "I was talking first Simone!" he yelled. Simone held up his hands and started sweating, "S-sorry bro!" he said.
The man turned back to Nightshade and smiled, "I have a question for you smug guy?!" he said. Nightshade raised an eyebrow, "Just who the hell do you think I am?!" he yelled. Night-shade smiled and chuckled. The man raised an eyebrow.
Nightshade smiled, "I know you're the Indestructible Kamina," he said pointing at Kamina, "And you're Simone The Digger. The leaders of Gurren Lagann," he said smiling. A gust of wind blew between them and Kamina started busting out laughing.
Simone raised an eyebrow, "How do you know about us?" he asked. Nightshade put his swords away and started walking towards them, "I discovered your realm over time. It took me a little while but I was able to trace the energy you and your brother were giving off when fighting," he said. Kamina smiled and began to chuckle. Simone gave Kamina a weird look.
"So you mean to tell me that our combined strength is so awesome beings from other worlds could see it?!" Kamina shouted with a smile. Nightshade smiled and nodded. Kamina laughed, "That makes our cause all the better! Ha ha!" he said.
Nightshade chuckled, "I just wanted to make contact to make sure you know there are others out there. When the time is right we will return for you both, but for now I wish to visit and see what your realm is all about," he said.
Kamina smirked, "Didn't you know?! It’s the burning Spirit in our hearts!" he yelled while pointing towards the sky. Thyme snickered and looked at Simone who stood behind Kamina.
"So is there a place we can go to stay for a bit?" Thyme asked.
Simone looked from Kamina to Thyme and smiled, " We have a camp towards that direction," he said pointing towards the east. Nightshade and Kamina both looked down at Simone and chuckled. The group laughed aloud and headed off towards the encampment.

The Beast man sat across the ridge watching the humans and there new companions walk with them…. Something was off about these new companions… They couldn't be human could they?! No….
Viral sat back and growled, "I will not let you wretched humans-!" A surge of energy passed by Viral and he turned to see a man with a sword drawn and armor that resembled a gunman.
"Who are you?!" Viral yelled.
The man laughed, "Calm yourself young Viral. I am no friend to the humans or the new arrivals. I come from another realm. Another world in your case. I wish to dispose of them just as much as you do. I can give you that power. I need your allegiance to me to stop them," he said.
Viral glared at the man, "My allegiance is to The Spiral King and The King alone! I will not serve you!" he growled while pulling out a clever. The man sighed and sat in a readied stance with his dark sword. Viral roared and lunged at The man but was easily knocked aside. Viral turned obviously astounded.
The man smiled, "You have no hopes of winning. I am Nightwalker. The personification of darkness. I am here to liberate the realms and cleanse them of filth like the humans and those new arrivals you saw moments ago," he said.
Viral looked from the man to his gunman and to his own sword and lunged for his gunman. Nightwalker turned and watched as the beast man activate its massive robot. Virals gunman activated and he soon slammed his arm down on top of Nightwalker.
Nightwalker scowled and help up a hand blocking the attack. Virals eyes were wide with astonishment as Nightwalker easily destroyed his gunman's arm. Nightwalker looked up at Viral and jumped up to the gunman and ripped open the gunman's mouth.
Viral pulled out a gun and shot Nightwalker in the chest. The bullet slid through the dark man's body and the wound that had been inflicted quickly closed once more. Nightwalker grabbed Viral and tossed him out of his gunman to the ground.
Viral hit the ground hard and turned back to see Nightwalker rip the gunman apart piece by piece. "My gunman! Damn you!" Viral yelled. Nightwalker pulled out the main source of the gunman and walked back over to Viral.
Viral started to scramble back, "What are you?!" he yelled. Nightwalker knelt down and put the source of the gunman close to Virals chest. A surge of electricity surged through Virals body as the source fused with his body. Metal cuffs leaked out around Virals wrists and solidified as the electric pulses died down. Viral looked at the man and his vision blurred as Nightwalker picked the beast man up and threw him over his shoulder. Viral coughed and the light faded from his view and he knew no more….
