“Hows the translation of the scroll coming along?” Celestia asked Bastion.

“It’s almost done, Princess.” Bastion Yorsets said to her. “It appears that it only tells the location of where the Avatars will be reveled, not where they are.”

“Oh really.” Blitz said to him.

“According to the scroll, the Avatar of Air will be reveled in the Himalayas.”

“Himalayas!? That's on the other side of the world!” Twilight said to him. “We have to go across Geo Firma before we can get there!”

“I know, Twilight. But we can use that to our advantage. The Earth Kingdom City of Ba Sing Se is on the route to the Himalayas. If the Earth King becomes an ally, then we might have a chance against the Fire Nation.” Celestia said to her student.

“Assuming the US continues to stay neutral.” Luna quietly said to Twilight under the hearing of her sister.

==================================================================

At the hive of the changelings in Sub-Sahara Africa, Queen Chrysalis is talking to Deker. “If you're here to hear me say, ‘Thank you’ for saving Hexe, your wrong.”

“I’m not here for a thank you, I want to know if your going after the Fire Avatar?” Deker asked.

“No. I’m not. Now leave, you're giving me a headache.” Chrysalis said as she drinks some of her medicine.

“Very well then.” Deker then leaves the hive.

“Why does he want to know if were going after the Fire Avatar?” Medizinisch said out load to himself. “I have to do research.” Just then, right before Deker leaves, another changeling appears. Unlike others, he has a navy blue face and spikes on his body. He also carries a shield that looks like an eye.

“Out of my way Deker!” Deker does so as the new changeling walks in.

“Oh, go away Madimot! Your all talk and no game.” Medizinisch said to Madimot.

“Don’t talk like that to me. I’m the baddest of the bad.” The changeling known as Madimot said.

“Why are you here?” Hexe said with annoyance in her voice.

“I’m here to tell you how to get our revenge on the Equestrians.”

“I’m listening.” Chrysalis said to him.

==================================================================

On their way to Geo Firma, the main 6, the CMC, Shining Armor, Cadence, Firebrand, Agua, Terra, and Blitz stop for a break and to do some training. Shining and Fire’ do a small sword practice fight. They use the nonlethal sides of their blades so they wont hurt each other. After a few slashes, Fire’ wins. He then helps Shining up. “Both of them sure are good with a blade, huh Twilight?”

“They sure are, Cadence.”

“I hate to see what would happen if they had to fight for real.”

“Come on, Rainbow. Thar fine friends, thet will nevah happened.”

“If you say so, AJ.”

==================================================================

At a bay in Geo Firma, a ferry departs, with Zuko and Iroh are on board. “Who would have thought after all these years, I'd return to the scene of my greatest military disgrace...” Iroh then turns away for a second, then turns back with a floral hat on his head, “as a tourist!”

“Look around. We're not tourists, we're refugees.” He then sips some food they were given, but he then spits it out. “Uggh! I'm sick of eating rotten food. It's like eating dirt. I'm tired of living like this!”

“Aren't we all?” Zuko and Iroh then turn to where the voice came from. They see a Unicorn stallion with a brown mane and tail, no longer then Big Mac’s, while his coat is a lighter color. He also has two hook swords for a cutie mark. He is accompanied by two other ponies, one a Pegasus mare while the other is an Earth Pony stallion. The Pegasus mare has a red coat with a yellow mane and a bee for a cutie mark, while the Earth Pony colt has a white coat with a gray mane and tail and wears a rice hat. “My name's Jet and these are my Freedom Fighters, Smellerbee and Longshot.” Smellerbee is the mare while Longshot is the Earth Pony stallion.

“Hey.” Smellerbee said to them as Longshot nods.

“Hello.” Zuko said back.

“Here's the deal. I hear the captain's eating like a king while the refugees have to feed off his scraps. Doesn't seem fair, does it?” Jet said to them.

“What sort of king is he eating like?” Iroh asked Jet.

“The fat, happy kind.” At this, Iroh's mouth hangs open as he starts to drool. “You want to help us ‘liberate’ some food?”

Zuko then tosses the bowl of rotten food into the water. “I'm in.” Jet smirks at the remark.

==================================================================

In a forest, several miles away from the gang, a group of ponies is taking a hike. Two of them, both unicorns, are kind of off in a sense. The lager one, whose name is Bulk, is teaching his nephew, Spike, the smaller one, how to be a samurai. Bulk has a very short mane and tail, to the point where he doesn't look like he has them. Bulk also has a tan coat, and a dumbbell for a cutie mark. Spike has a red mane and a light blue coat, and an upside down horseshoe for a cutie mark. Spike is also kinda jumpy and is holding a can. “Spike, being a samurai is more than just fighting evil, it's about being one with nature.” He then pushes a tree branch out of his way, but when he let's go, it hits Spike. He quickly recovers and is even more jumpy now.

“But I’m scared of dragons, uncle Bulk.”

“Spike, I don’t think dragons live in this neck of the woods. So loss the dragon spray already. What you should have brought was this.” He then pulls out his own can. “Mosquito Repellent.” He then sprays some, but the wind pushes it back into their faces, temporally blinding them. They then hear the other hikers screaming and running “Terrified hikers can mean only one thing: Mosquitoes!”

“Dragons!” They then try to run, but they hit each other instead. Bulk then grabs Spike when he realizes something.

“Spike,” He quietly said, “never run from a dragon this close. Play dead, like a possum.” They do so, but instead of a dragon or mosquitoes, Madimot walks up to them.

“Hah. You can't fool me. Not even possums are that ugly. Lucky for you I have more important business.” Madimot then leave the two. When they get up and see what just passed them, they are excited.

“Our fist real live battle, Spike. And we survived! Now we are officially samurai warriors!”

"We are?!" Spike excitedly said.

"Shush! Yes, we are." Bulk said as they quietly leave.

==================================================================

Back on the ferry, Zuko, Jet, and Smellerbee sneak up to the food storage area. Zuko then breaks the door open with his swords and he and Jet take some food. “Guard's coming!” Smellerbee said as Longshot fires an arrow with a rope attached to it, allowing the three to slide down it. Longshot manages to pull it away before the guard notices.

==================================================================

At the forest Madimot is at, he continues to terrorize the hikers until the gang find him. “Huh. I was wondering when you would show up.”

“Very funny changeling.” Fire’ said to him.

“Hey. Don’t call me just any changeling. I’m Madimot, the baddest of the bad from the Sahara. I'm a bad bad bug!”

“Lets see if you can back up all that talk.”

“Hmm, having back up is a good idea, Rainbow Head.” He then pulls out a whip and smacks it into the ground. A large white tiger than appears behind him.

“What the?” Rainbow said.

“Is that a white tiger?” Twilight nervously said.

“Yep. I found it and he become my pet kitty, or should I say my pet Tiggy.”

“Thats not right!” Fluttershy said to the changeling.

“Tiggy, get them!” The tiger than charges at them, roaring loudly. At where Bulk and Spike are hiding, they hear the roar.

“Sounds like a mountain lion.” Bulk said as his nephew began to shiver. The tiger begins to attack the group, separating them. Madimot sees that Twilight is alone.

“Oh good. A new puppet.” He fires a green fire at her. Shining sees this and pushes Twilight out-of-the-way. As a result, Shining gets hit and is now under Madimot’s control, his eyes glowing green.

“Shining!”

“Oh boy. I have a new puppet. I think I’ll call him Blue.” Madimot said as both Twilight and Cadence stare in disbelief. “Blue, take care of them.” Shining then conjures up a blade and attacks his sister. Twilight manages to dodge the attack and tries to snap Shining out of it, but no matter what she says or does, nothing works. Fire’ charges at Madimot with his blade drawn out. But Madimot sees him coming. “Good. Two new pets for the price of one.” He said as he charges his spell. “Your mine now, Red.” He fires, but almost on instinct, Firebrand cast a spell that blocks the mind control one. He then does a few slashes at Madimot.

“That won’t work on me, changeling.”

“No, it wont. Tiggy, take care of him!” The tiger than charges at Firebrand. He and the others are in a group now, with both the tiger and Shining about to pounce. Fire’ then creates a small fire and when it dissipates, they are gone.

“Hum.” Madimot said as he walks to where they were at. “Cowards, but good timing. I’m starting to dry out. Blue, wait here with Tiggy.”

“As you wish, master.”

==================================================================

Back on the ferry where Zuko and Iroh are on, Jet passes out food to other travelers. The other Freedom Fighters, Zuko and Iroh are siting together. “So, Smellerbee, that's an unusual name for a young stallion!”

“Maybe it's because I'm not a stallion ... I'm a mare!” She then walks away.

“Oh, now I see.” Iroh said when he realizes his mistake. “It's a beautiful name for a lovely mare!” He called out.

Longshot then approaches Smellerbee and gestures at her. “I know, you're right. As long as I'm confident with who I am, it doesn't matter what other ponies think. Thanks Longshot.” Jet then approaches Zuko and Iroh.

“From what I heard, ponies eat like this every night in Ba Sing Se. I can't wait to set my eyes on that giant wall.” Jet said to the two, oblivious that there from the Fire Nation.

“It is a magnificent sight.” Iroh said.

“So you've been there before?” Jet asked.

“Once. When I was a ... different colt.” Iroh answered.

“I've done some things in my past that I'm not proud of, but that's why I'm going to Ba Sing Se: for a new beginning. A second chance.” Jet said, remembering when he used to live in Equestria, before the Fire Nation killed his family and moved to Geo Firma.

“That's very noble of you.” Iroh said to him. “I believe ponies can change their lives if they want to. I believe in second chances.”

==================================================================

“Impressive.” Queen Chrysalis said to Madimot as he drinks some green water. “Hypnotizing both a deadly predator and the caption of the Canterlot Royal Guard.”

“Like I said, I’m the baddest of the bad. If I hadn't dried out, those Avatars and their friends would have been dead. I can make those two do whatever I want.” Madimot boasted.

“Then why don’t you make Shining Armor turn his sword on himself?” Hexe asked him.

“Thats not fun. Die, when was the last time you had some fun messing with ponies? Three centuries ago!”

“Actually, it was-”

“Ugh, never mind. I’m heading back.”

“So go.” Medizinisch said to him. Madimot then leaves. “I have to get back to my research. So much about the Fire Avatar’s family. So many big words to. Ooh-ah-ooh! I feel like tearing off my beard!”

"I’ll help with that.” Hexe said to him. “But why are you so interested in the Fire Avatar?" Hexe asked him.

"I think theres something about the Fire Avatar that only Deker knows about. And he doesn't want us to know what it is."

==================================================================

In a forest not far away from the group, Deker is walking through it. “Queen Chrysalis doesn't know the truth about the Fire Avatars legacy, or the sealing spell.” He said to himself. “Good. That means she’ll stay out of my way.” He then pulls out his Uramasa. “Uramasa, my trusty sword, if I can't find me a worthy opponent and bring him to his knees, then whats the point of being immortal?”

He then puts Uramasa back in its sheath. He continues to walk, but as he does so, his entire body is engulfed in purple flames. When he exits, he becomes a unicorn stallion that has a red mane and tail that are like Shining’s, a gray coat, tortoise green eyes, and a katana for a cutie mark. He is also wearing a white cloak and black boats. The sheath that has Uramasa is now covered in cloth with a diamond pattern.

==================================================================

On the ferry Zuko and Iroh are on, Zuko and Jet are at the bow. “You know, as soon as I saw your scar, I knew exactly who you were. You're an outcast, like me. And us outcasts have to stick together. We have to watch each other's backs. Because no one else will.”

“I've realized lately that being on your own isn't always the best path.” Zuko said as they see that the ferry is getting close to the giant walls of Ba Sing Se.

==================================================================

At the gangs camp site, Cadence and Twilight are crying. “How could Shining fall under a changelings spell again?”

“I don’t know, Cadence. But we have to find a way to get him back.” Twilight said as she wipes away a tear.

“Say,” Rainbow said as she turned to Firebrand, who wasn't under Madimot’s control, “how did you resist that changelings spell?”

“I don’t know. All I know is that I can use the same spell to free Shining, if I can.” He the walks away for a moment.

“What did he mean by, ‘if I can?'”

“Please, don’t say that in front of Twilight and Cadence, Rainbow.” Rarity said to her. They then see a pony with a hard hat and a hammer for a cutie mark running up to them.

“Help! Some kind of monster is attacking. It has a white tiger and a white unicorn with a blue mane!” With that, the group leave, leaving behind Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Fire.’

“Do you think we should tell Fire’ about this?”

“We should, Sweetie.” Scootaloo said to her.

“Yeah. Lets go tell him!” Apple Bloom said as the three fillies go and do just that.

==================================================================

At the construction site, Madimot is terrorizing the workers. “This is so much fun. I can’t wait for the Avatars to show up.” Almost on cue, the group arrive, weapons ready.

“You should be careful what you wish for, mate.”

“I don’t have to be careful. I’m the baddest of the bad. Tiggy! Blue! Take care of them!” They do so, but Fluttershy quickly relaxes the tiger into submission for a moment. Shining isn't so easy, he avoids any spells Twilight tries. Cadence spell that helps her spread love doesn't work either. He is about to finish them when Fire’ places his blade in the way.

“Leave them alone!”

“Oh. I have an idea. I want to see how well Blue fights. Blue challenge him to a duel.”

“You don't have to convince me.” Fire’ said as he and Shining made their way to the center of the site. Twilight and the others stare at them as they prepare for the fight.

“I cant believe this is happening.” Rainbow said. The two soon battle. After a few tense moments, Twilight can’t hold back for much longer.

"FIRE,' STOP Y'ALL!" Applejack yelled.

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" Rarity yelled, despite knowing her vocal cords are being strained.

“WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!?! THAT'S MY BROTHER!” Twilight said.

“Shut your mouths!” Madimot yelled at them when he heard enough. He then fires a laser at them. It doesn't do much but knock them off their hoofs. “No talking during the show!”

As the group recover, a unicorn stallion that has a red mane and tail that are like Shining’s, a white coat and a katana for a cutie mark walk up to them. Its Deker. “Looks like we have a winner.”

“Who are you?” Rarity asked him.

“It doesn't mater who I am. What matters is that the one who's winning isn't the stallion with the blue mane.”

“What.” Cadence said to him. “How can you tell?”

“Because the red one is fighting as if he's trying to win a training point rather than a real duel.” Fire’ and Shining are on top of a crane arm, still slashing at each other. Fire’ than jumps off and lands on a hill made of gravel. “It’s a lot different than fighting for survival.” Shining then follows and they two continue. They then roll down the hill. “You fight with instinct. You have to watch your target like a hawk.” Fire’ then leads Shining to an open area and they continue without causing too much damage. “It’s easy to get tired in a long battle when there's no one to say stop.” Fire’ lets Shining cut a chain that was holding some rods and it falls in between them. After a few more slashes, Fire’ kicks Shining in the stomach and sends him a few feet back. He quickly gets up, but doesn't recover as fast. Fire’ places his sword on his shoulder while Shining holds his out.

“I’m not sure I can watch this for long.” Fluttershy said to the others.

“Don’t worry, because the fight will be over soon.”

“Really?” Twilight said in disbelief.

“Indeed. The red worrier has a good stance, it reduces fatigue, he’ll stay strong. See that glow on his horn, he is enchanting a spell on his sword as we speak. And when the white and blue one goes for the point, the red will take the opening and he’ll strike. He’s looking for a decisive blow. Thats the difference between these two.”

Shining then charges at Fire.’ “Come back to us, Shining.” Fire’ blocks the attack and cast his spell, causing his sword to catch fire. He then releases the block. “This should brake the spell.” He then hits Shining. The group, except for Deker hold their breath. Soon, red electricity comes from Shining as a ball of green fire floats up from him and disappears.

“What have you done!? BLUE! MY PUPPET!” Madimot yells out. Shining then falls to the ground.

“Shining!” Cadence said as she and the others leave Deker and head for Shining.

“I was right.” Deker said to himself as he looks at Firebrand. “The Fire Avatar is the perfect opponent for my Uramasa.” He then leaves.

“Ugh. What happened?” Shining asked when he sees his sister, wife, and friends around him.

“You were under a changelings control again, Shining.”

“Oh. Is that all, Twiley”

“Fire Avatar! You had this planed all along!” Madimot yells at him.

“Yeah. When we fought in the forest, I instinctively used a spell that protected my mind from your control. I realized I can do the same for Shining, which is why I had to fight him.” Fire' explained.

“Wait. We were fighting?”

“Yeah. Because your such a good fighter, it took me a lot longer to charge up the spell.”

“Thanks. Now, lets fight something that isn't our friend.” Fire’ then nodes as he and Agua, Blitz, and Terra become their elemental forms.

“Don’t be so sure.” Madimot said as he hit his whip against the ground. “Tiggy, get them!” The white tiger gets up and charges them.

“I’ll take care of the tiger. You gays take care of the changeling.”

“You got it, Fire.'” Shining said to him. Fire’ then heads for the tiger. He stalls it by moving from place to place. He then charges his magic and cast the same spell on his sword that he used to free Shining. When he hits, green flames leave the tiger and disappears. When Fire’ turns back to normal, the tiger walks up to him and begins to lick him. “OK. OK. Settle down boy.”

After getting hit by a few attack, Madimot sees what just happened. “Oh no! Now Tiggy is against me too!”

“Show over, changeling!” Shining said to him.

“Terra, I have an idea, but we need time!”

“You got it, Fire’!” Terre then hits her scythe against the ground and a crack opens under Madimot. He then sinks in due to his shied weighing him down.

“No! I’m earthquaking in my boats! This can’t happen to me! I’m the baddest of the bad!” Terra, Agua, Blitz, and Fire’ then go into their Avatar States and jump forward. Madimot get out just in time to see what is happening.

“4 Element Strike!” The four Avatars yell as they hit Madimot on at a time in this order, Earth (Terra), Water (Agua), Lighting (Blitz), and Fire (Firebrand). When the land behind him, Madimot is begins to fall to the ground.

“This can't happen! I’m the baddest of the bad!” He yells before exploding.

“Hey. I thought you gays weren't meant to hurt others?”

“Yes, Rainbow. Were not meant to hurt other ponies. The dragon spirit didn't say evil creatures like changelings.” Fire' pointed out. The group soon laugh as the tiger leaves for the forest.

==================================================================

Later that night on a mountain not far away, Deker is siting in front of a fire in his pony form. He then partially pulls out his Uramasa. “Patience, Uramasa. At last we have found him.” He then remembers how Fire’ was able to free Shining Armor from Madimot's spell. “All that remains is to find the right place and time. And then the most epic duel in history will commence.”
