At the Ultimates' Command Center, Nezha Vengito continued watching several monitor screens of a worldwide battlefields. He and his intelligence officers were giving instruction and strategies to their forces of fighting back and winning the war. They also have sent reinforcement of Mutated Zombies and Armor Guardians to assist their main forces against the enemies. But he became annoyed and angered as he found his forces are driven back by United Alliance of Good and Evil. He won't accept defeats and failures anymore.

While Nezha Vengito was watching the screens, someone opened the door and entered the scene. He turned and found Death Tactic stood before him.

"Where were you?!" Nezha Vengito demanded in anger.

Death Tactic sighed, "There's been change of plan. And I suggest you do it now, Nezha. The time is almost upon us."

Nezha Vengito snarled a bit while narrowing his suspicious eyes, "What are you up to?!"





1 Hour 30 Minutes More...

After rescuing Optimus Prime and defeating both Fallax Vulpe and Sunder, Team B was now searching and hunting down their last enemy - Nezha Vengito. And at the same time, they eventually reunited with Team A, who has returned from the basement via the lifts. And together, they all now heading straight to main hanger, where they suspected and believed that Death Tactic has moved Black Alpha to while pumping the black knight with two Artificial Energon.

However, Team B also told Team A about Bumblebee's sacrifice and death. Team A was saddened and heartbroken to hear it as they have lost their friend now. Regardless, they can't stop or give up now since they have to stop Nezha Vengito and his master plan now.

"Yeah! The team is back in one piece together!" Rainbow Dash cheered, "Just need to team up with Sunset and others to beat these guys up!"

Aquastroke nodded, "That's the spirit, kiddo! We can do this!"

Pinkie Pie cheered happily, "Yeah! We're gonna win this fight!"

"Cool your jets, everyone," Blazefist said firmly, "It's not over yet. We still have to find and get Black Alpha first! And not to mention, we have to be vigilant of Death Tactic's. No telling what he has plans in store for us."

Rarity groaned, "Must you always ruin the moment? Can't we take the breathe for once?"

"Well, that's his way," Laxtinct remarked in annoyance, "He always spoil everyone's moods!"

Duke sighed, "Hate to admit it, but Blaze's right. So, watch your six! They know we're coming! And they're gonna give some serious beatings to us."

Scarlett hissed, "Yeah. His strategies and traps can be very deadly for us to handle."

"Indeed," Cobra Commander nodded in agreement, "We need to be alert of his tricks. And we hit them very hard. We will not stop until we defeat them and get Black Alpha."

"That's not the only thing we should be worry about," Barricade said firmly and concernedly, "And according to Soundwave's latest intel, Nezha Vengito has found and located all thirteen Excalibur Stones of Lights across the world! The coordinates are exactly the same position we've sent our main forces to deal with."

"Oh shit..." Everyone cursed in shock and concern.

While holding Minokichi on his back, Soki snarled, "Damn it. He's willing to go through with it."

"One of these days, I'm really gonna kill that bastard!" Silverclaw snarled as he was holding Streak's hand. He continued, "He's gonna pay for everything he did!"

"In other words," Sideswipe snarled in concern, "Nezha Vengito has already made preparation for its Dark Prophecy! This isn't good!"

Arcee hissed, "Guess Nezha really wants to get the job done so badly."

"Tell me something I don't know, Autobots," Cyclonus said in annoyance. He turned to Megatron, "My Lord, what must be done?"

"Find and kill Nezha Vengito! It's the only way to stop it," Megatron said firmly.

Optimus Prime hummed in agreement, "Megatron's right. We cannot let him succeeded. If he does, then the fate of humanity and even us will be at risk. Nezha must be stopped, no matter the cost. Too many lives are lost!"

"Yeah... We can't let that happen," Nyx said in concern, "Not 'The Battle of Chicago' again..."

Cutie Mark Crusaders nodded in agreement, "Yeah..."

"That's something we agree about," Sam said firmly.

Cade nodded in agreement, "Not on our watch. Not this time again."

"Yeah!" Mikaela, Shane and Tessa exclaimed in agreement.

"We must do something now! We cannot afford to wait anymore!" Storm Shadow exclaimed in concern. Snake Eyes nodded while make some hand gestures. He sighed, "True. We need something to end his plan for good."

"Well, better hope that we find the answer soon before it happens," Flare Tiger said in concern, "I really hate to see the apocalypse again. I really hate it. Don't these people ever learn about abusing tech and power after watching movies, cartoons, anime and even reading books?"

"Hardly," Pinkie Pie remarked in annoyance, "Just some crazy evil and angry people, who wants to rule the world. That is so annoying."

Rarity groaned, "Tell me about it. I just want to have a nice peaceful and quiet holiday in a spa. Is that so much to ask?"

"Rarity, that is not the time to think about holiday now," Shorty Thinking said in annoyance while looked at his device. He began, "And besides, if we're gonna stop him and his plans. We need to work on something that will end his operation for good."

"A virus?" Ciel asked hopefully. Shorty Thinking smiled and nodded. She smirked, "Alright. Two of us can handle it. Just like old times."

Shorty Thinking nodded, "Just like old times, sis."

ZeekCrimson stayed close with both Shorty Thinking and Ciel, "And I shall protect you at all cost!"

"Looks like we've got plans." Optimus Prime commented, "This might be our last chance to stop it."

"Shorty, Ciel, do your best to get virus ready," Blazefist said firmly, "The rest of us will hold the enemy lines. And hoping interrupting the pumping fuel."

"And that's what we're good at," Duke commented, "Let's end this for good."

Everyone chatted and nodded in agreement with the plans. They're gonna stop Nezha Vengito from achieving his goals in fulfilling Dark Prophecy.

"We'd better let Twilight and others know about it," Spike said in concern.

Dragoking nodded, "Yeah. Nezha Vengito may not be in the command center anymore."

Wheelie and Brains squealed in concern, "Yeah! Save our friends!"

"Alright," Nyx sighed as she make a call from her cellphone, "Come on, sis. Pick up now!"





1 Hour 15 Minutes More...

Team C - Shadow Dragon, Twilight Sparkle, Flash Sentry, Sunset Shimmer, Applejack, Saber Dragoon, Fluttershy, Terrorcreep, Tailtech and Icy, have arrived at the command center. Gloriosa Daisy and Timber Spruce were there to help since they know well about Cybeteronian Knights. The girls have pony-up except Twilight Sparkle, prepared for battles.

As the team opened the door and readied to attack, they found Ultimate Soldiers armed and aimed the guns at them. They quickly moved away from the entrance as enemy troops fired and blasted guns at once.

"Looks like we've been expected!" Flash Sentry exclaimed in concern.

Tailtech groaned, "You'd think?"

"If you're looking for Grand General," A familiar voice in calm tone spoke, "I'm afraid he's not here now."

Everyone gasped in shock and concern, "Death Tactic!"

"Son of a bitch! I'm gonna make him pay!" Timber Spruce snarled.

Gloriosa Daisy nodded, "So do I!"

"We don't have much time!" Saber Dragoon said in concern, "We only got one more hour! We have to find and stop Nezha! Or at least get Black Alpha!"

Shadow Dragon nodded, "That's something we agree about! If I were Death Tactic, where would I put my Grand General and Black Alpha?"

Twilight Sparkle gasped, "Hanger Bay! But there are so many of them!"

"Only one big enough to fit for Black Alpha," Icy explained firmly and weakly, "Main Hanger! That's where they launched all of Twelve Cybertronian Knights out!"

Tailtech hissed, "That's a good place to start!" He hissed as he almost felt the blast hit his face. He groaned, "We need to do something about those guys!"

"I'll stay back and hold them long!" Terrorcreep said firmly, "All of you go!"

Saber Dragoon hissed in concern, "Not alone! I'm helping you out too!" He turned to Shadow Dragon and others, "Go! Now!"

Shadow Dragon nodded firmly as he quickly took Twilight Sparkle's hand while heading off. Sunset Shimmer, Flash Sentry, Tailtech and Icy went after them as well. Both Saber Dragoon and Terrorcreep armed with their weapons but found Applejack, Fluttershy, Timber Spruce and Gloriosa Daisy were staying behind. This surprised them both.

"What the heck-?!" Saber Dragoon asked in shock.

Terrorcreep snarled, "Fluttershy, you were supposed-!"

"Don't you even think about leaving you behind again, TC! I had it, mister!" Fluttershy scolded Terrorcreep, which frightened him surprisingly. She continued, "I've lost you once, I won't lose you again! Not this time!"

Applejack nodded, "Besides, you need all the help you can get! We're dealing with Grand Admiral!"

"And he owe us for ruining our camp!" Gloriosa Daisy and Timber Spruce exclaimed in anger.

Saber Dragoon sighed in annoyance, "Why do even we bother to ask?!"

"Could be worse when you had an angry girlfriend," Terrorcreep said in annoyance as he armed with his Dual Thunder Axes, "Alright! Let's do this!"

"How?!" Gloriosa Daisy and Timber Spruce asked in concern, "They're shooting us!"

"Not me!" Saber Dragoon exclaimed firmly.

As Saber Dragoon moved to the entrance door, Ultimate Soldiers continued firing their guns at him. The detective attached Twin Dragon Sabers as he spin and unleashed his Wind Storm in blowing the bullets away and hit the soldiers off. He and his team charged into the command center.

Terrorcreep and Fluttershy were the last people to enter. Unfortunately, someone grabbed and gagged her from behind. But not before she made a squeak noise, which alerted Terrorcreep. He quickly turned back and found her missing. He exited out at once before the command center's door closed. He turned to his right, where he found Ripper was holding the struggled and scared Fluttershy, while arming his knife on her neck.

Fluttershy whimpered in fear, "T-Terrorcreep!"

"Let her go now!" Terrorcreep demanded in anger while armed his Dual Thunder Axes, "Face me now, you coward!"

Ripper chuckled amusingly, "No can do, Vampire. You want your bloody mate back, come and get me!"

Terrorcreep hissed in anger as he charged right at Ripper, who was ready to attack him. However, he ran and climbed over the side walls while jumped over his enemy's back. And just before the vampire mutant could strike, the psychopath dodged down while kicked him off. His enemy turned and held his hostage against the vampire mutant while charging and swinging the knife at him. This forced Terrorcreep retreated while dodged and blocked the attacks by Ripper, without harming Fluttershy for few rounds. And at the same time, the vampire got wounded and injured by the attacks.

Terrorcreep struggled in defending himself as Ripper was fierce and swift in attacking him while holding Fluttershy hostage. He's badly wounded and injured from several attacks. The psychopath jabbed the knife on the Vampire Mutant's left shoulder before kicked and stomped him to the ground. Ripper continued stomping and stepping the knife in injuring and piercing Terrorcreep's left shoulder. He screamed in pain while bleeding out a lot.

"No! Stoooooppppppppp!" Fluttershy shouted in fear, "Leave him alone!"

Ripper laughed insanely to Fluttershy, "What?! I can't hear you! This is too much for fun!" He quickly took out the knife by left hand from Terrorcreep's left chest. He armed and aimed his at the Vampire Mutant's heart. He snickered, "They say 'stab the heart kills the vampire'. Let's test the theory..."

Terrorcreep snarled, "Damn you! Let her go now!"

"I think I'll keep her as my trophy," Ripper licked beneath his mask while looking at Fluttershy. Using his right hand, he rubbed and squeezed her cheeky fave three times, "Yours and her heads will be a happy couples. Beautiful heads. Say goodbye, pretty boy!"

Ripper laughed insanely as he held the knife up while ready to strike on frightened Terrorcreep. Fluttershy went in shock as she refused to let him died again. As her Animal Ruby activated and glowed in red, the bear spirit entered her as she roared like a bear. She grabbed and took a bite on the psychopath's hand while stomped on both feet, making him to squealed and screamed in pain.

Terrorcreep quickly grab and swung his axe in cutting Ripper's hand off, freeing his girlfriend from the grip. He screamed in anger as he decapitated the psychopath's head off from his body. His neck spill so much blood over on Fluttershy, which shocked and scared her off. She hated it a lot.

As Terrorcreep breathed and panted slowly, he turned and found Fluttershy traumatized. He quickly held and hugged her tightly and passionately. Which she was still shock and traumatized, she managed to return a hug to him.

"Are you alright, Fluttershy?" Terrorcreep asked in concern.

Fluttershy nodded, "Yeah. I was so scared..."

"Sorry about that. I couldn't let him take you hostage again."

"Yeah. That did scare me. But I'm afraid is losing you. I'm so sorry! I'm really so sorry!"

As Fluttershy cried while leaned against her boyfriend's chest, Terrorcreep shushed gently and softly to her while patted her back.

"It's okay, Fluttershy." Terrorcreep said calmly, "I'm here and alive. Don't be afraid."

"I'm not... I'm not." Fluttershy sniffed as she looked at Terrorcreep, "What's next? We can't leave the rest here."

Terrorcreep sighed, "They have to find the way out on their own. But now, we need to help others. We must stop Nezha now. You saw what they will do."

Fluttershy nodded firmly while wiping tears off, "Yes, you're right. Let's go and find them now."

Fluttershy and Terrorcreep helped out each other standing up straight. They all walked and headed straight quick yet weakly to find and meet up with their friends for a big battle against Nezha Vengito.





1 Hour More...

Team A and Team B were running and driving in high speed while defeating, shooting and knocking off some Ultimate Soldiers and their Armor Guardians. They have to reach their destination at once before Black Alpha could be reactivated.

As both teams continued their march, they all got suddenly zapped and electrocuted while screaming in pain and agony. They all quickly make a stop at once. They all turned and found Starkiller stood before them. He snarled and growled softly.

"Starkiller..." Soki said in concern.

Silverclaw hissed, "I was afraid of this might be happening..."

"We'll handle him," ZeekCrimson said firmly as he activated and armed his Zeek Saber while moving to the front. He turned and looked at his allies, "Go! Stop Nezha!"

Ciel was very reluctant and protested the idea, however, her older brother Shorty Thinking nodded firmly and calmly. Everyone quickly get recovered and ready to move out again. And just before Starkiller could attack again. ZeekCrimson charged in while slammed Zeek-Saber on him but blocked by his Twin Laser Swords before got kicked crimson android off. Soki came and swung Oni Broadsword at him, who quickly blocked the attack in time. He then got kicked off by Silverclaw. Three of them began attacking and battling with him, who fought back hard.

With Starkiller was distracted, Team A and B quickly make their move at once while leaving their allies to handle him. Both Streak and Minokichi remained behind while hiding behind the room's door. They both watched the duel between four Ultimate Warriors.

Starkiller snarled as he armed and readied his Twin Saber Swords while waiting to strike his three Ultimate Warriors, who did the same thing. He screeched wildly as he charged in high speed by attacking and striking them from Soki to Silverclaw and then to ZeekCrimson. Though they managed to block the attacks off, he was too fast and quick for them to take him down. And in fact, he managed to dodge while block the attacks off while injured on blind sights of their bodies.

As three Ultimate Warriors have been weakened, Starkiller screeched as he charged and rammed straight at them. Soki quickly and swiftly slammed his right arm in knocking at his former comrade, before got kicked off by Silverclaw and ZeekCrimson. Starkiller dropped and slide on the floor while heading straight to the walls as his helmet came off from his head.

Soki snarled, "Starkiller, stand down!"

"Never..." Starkiller screeched as he slowly got up while revealing his disfigured and scarred face. He hissed, "Never surrender!"

Silverclaw nodded, "Don't make us kill you, bob!"

"This is your last chance, old friend!" ZeekCrimson exclaimed in concern, "turn back now!"

Starkiller screeched in anger, "DIE NOW!"

And just before three Ultimate Warriors could do anything, Starkiller fired his electrical shocks in electrocuting and shocking them. As they all were standing strong and firm against the attack, they all losing their strength. They all fell to the ground while moaning and groaning in pain. He approached them while armed his Twin Laser Swords. They all immediately stroke their weapons at him, but he deflected them aside before kicked and punched them to the ground for few times.

Starkiller armed and readied his Twin Laser Swords to finish his friends off, "Die, old friends..."

"Starkiller, don't!" Three Ultimate Warriors exclaimed in concern.

And just before Starkiller could do anything, both Minokichi and Streaks jumped on his back as they pounced and punched him to the ground fiercely and wildly for few rounds. Three Ultimate Warriors struggled in standing up watching the children of fighting and battling him fiercely. He managed to grab Streak's left leg as he thrown her to the walls while took and slam Minokichi to the ground.

Silverclaw screamed as he charged and jumped on Starkiller, who quickly jump and kick him to the walls. Soki came in while slammed a punch on his former comrade hard, but Starkiller unleashed and electrocuted his electrical powers on him until he dropped to the ground. ZeekCrimson punched Starkiller, who blocked and fought back fiercely for few times. They both landed solid punches on each other hard to the ground.

Both Starkiller and ZeekCrimson groaned and moaned in pain as they spill some blood out. His former comrade approached him while armed with knife in ready to finish him off.

"This... Ends... Now!" Starkiller exclaimed wildly.

ZeekCrimson snarled, "Forgive me!"

And just before Starkiller could do anything, ZeekCrimson thrust his Zeek Saber at his former comrade's chest. Thus, ending his life. However, the crimson android sighed in shame while shaking his head. Both Soki and Silverclaw approached and helped him out.

"We were too late..." Soki said in guilt.

Silverclaw nodded, "Yeah. Nezha really poisoned him with all of Artificial Energon to get it perfect. Damn that bastard!"

"He will pay for this," ZeekCrimson snarled in anger, "He will pay! Nezha Vengito must die!"





45 Minutes More...

Trapped inside the command center, Saber Dragoon and his team armed with their weapons while ready to attack. They knew Death Tactic is still inside while waiting to strike his enemies down. But so far, no sign of him and the room is very quiet as well.

"My dear former friends... You've overestimated your abilities to win this battle," Death Tactic's voice said firmly and darkly, "My advice for you is surrender to us. We will spare your life. That is your only option."

"And by surrendering to you means giving up our freedom and become a slave to you'all?!" Applejack demanded. She hissed in anger, "Not a chance!"

Saber Dragoon nodded, "Even if the odds are against us, we're not giving up without the fight. You, of all Mutants, should have known that!"

"How forgetful I am..." Death Tactic said amusingly, "And to be honest, Saber, you and your friends would have been better off as our Ultimate Soldiers than serving to some corrupted and racism insects, who repaid you nothing but cruel and brutal treatment."

"Even so, we've got something to fight off!" Saber Dragoon said firmly and proudly.

Applejack nodded, "Yeah! We're not gonna give up or even run away from bad guys like you! When we find you and your boss, we're gonna kick your asses! Get ready to lose, pal!"

"Try me..." Death Tactic said amusingly, "If you can..."

And just before Saber Dragoon and his team could do anything, Mutated Zombies moaned and screeched wildly as they emerged out from several doors. They all fiercely and wildly attacked the team. And unfortunately, Saber Dragoon and his team were forced to dodge and block the attacks for few rounds. And at the same time, they all armed and fired Artificial Energon Cure at the Mutated Zombies. All of them reverted back to normal.

As Saber Dragoon's Team continued dealing with Mutated Zombies, they also encountered more Ultimate Soldiers. Saber Dragoon used his Twin Dragon Sabers in slashing and cutting down his enemies. Applejack used Mind Whiplash in grabbed and striking them down or even punched and kicked them off. Both Gloriosa Daisy and Timber Spruce armed and fired the cure blasters at the Mutated Zombies.

Death Tactic emerged from the shadowed while armed with pistol. While Saber Dragoon and his team were being distracted in dealing with the enemies, Death Tactic teleported among them. He punched and knocked them hard. He even fired his pistol at them, who quickly dodged the attacks at once. They quickly turned and punched right at him. But instead, he teleported while they punched each other off hard.

As Saber Dragoon's Team recovered and got up from the ground, Death Tactic appeared before them. As the team charged and attacked him, he disappeared at once. As the team remained high alert, Death Tactic appeared before Timber Spruce as Grand Admiral gave the camp consultant some beatings and then thrown him at Gloriosa Daisy to the Mutated Zombies. This forced camp consultants to move away at once while firing their Artificial Energon Cure at the Mutated Zombies off.

Death Tactic turned his attention to Saber Dragoon and Applejack, who were charging and attacking him. And unfortunately, he kept on teleporting everywhere while punched and kicked them one-by-one for few rounds. He was too fast for them, and they barely even land an attack on him. They're both now badly wounded and injured now.

Applejack groaned in pain, "We can't keep on like this!"

"I know," Saber Dragoon groaned in pain, "We have to think of something! Something that will throw him off the guard!"

Death Tactic chuckled as he teleported behind of them, "I'm afraid there's nothing you can do now."

And just before Saber Dragoon and Applejack could react, Death Tactic immediately punched and kicked them by heads and bodies for few times. And this time, he's no longer needed to teleport out as he continued attacked them.

Both Gloriosa Daisy and Timber Spruce have finished curing the Mutated Zombies. They turned their attention to Saber Dragoon and Applejack, who struggled in defending and fighting back at Death Tactic. Timber Spruce was about to move but held by Gloriosa Daisy.

"If you attack them, he'll teleported out!" Gloriosa Daisy exclaimed in concern, "We need to outsmart him!"

Timber Spruce groaned, "We can't just do nothing! They need us now!"

"I know! But think first! What is it something that Death Tactic hated the most?! He must have weakness!"

"If I have known it, we wouldn't be wasting our time for fighting these mutants! It's not like I could ask him to draw something for me to know his weakness!"

"Drawing?!" Gloriosa Daisy asked in confusion. She gasped, "Timber, he likes arts and history!"

Timber Spruce was surprise, "You're right! That's the only way! Let's go and ruin his art!"

Saber Dragoon and Applejack struggled in catching and defeating Death Tactic, who continued teleporting and attacking. As they both were nearly exhausted, he appeared before them. He gave them some solid punches to the ground. They both groaned and moaned in pain and exhaustion. He armed and aimed his pistol at them. He's ready to finish them off.

"Drop the gun, buster!" Gloriosa Daisy exclaimed in anger. Death Tactic turned and found her and Timber Spruce brought pictures and art block before the fire woods. He gasped in shock. She snarled, "Drop the gun now!"

Death Tactic snarled as he aimed his pistol at camp consultants, "Put them down now! I will shoot you down! No one destroys my arts!"

"They're not yours! Never ever been yours!" Timber Spruce exclaimed as he threw a lantern into the firewood, "Besides, what's so special about them?!"

"Stop it!" Death Tactic snapped angrily as he gave a warning shot at both Gloriosa Daisy and Timber Spruce. He snarled, "I mean it!"

Gloriosa Daisy stuck her tongue out, "Make us if you dare, Timber!"

"On it!" Timber Spruce smirked.

Gloriosa Daisy and Timber Spruce began piling and dumping cultural artworks and pictures into the firewood. This has angered Death Tactic long enough. Grand Admiral began firing his blaster at them both. They both quickly dodged and hid behind the computers from being hit.

As Death Tactic was distracted, both Saber Dragoon and Applejack turned him to them. They both gave him a hard punch, followed by Timber Spruce and Gloriosa Daisy joined them by knocking him out cold. Death Tactic was defeated.

"Everyone, okay?" Saber Dragoon asked in concern. Everyone nodded in agreement. He sighed in relief before showing firm face, "We're running out of time. We'd better go now. Our friends need us now!"

"Yeah. Nezha is gonna launch Black Alpha to get Excalibur Stone of Light," Applejack said. She turned to Gloriosa Daisy and Timber Spruce, "You two better stay here, just in case he wakes up. We don't want him to have a sneak plan on us again. Or he could be helpful to us to stop Nezha if we failed."

Gloriosa Daisy and Timber Spruce nodded in understanding. Both Saber Dragoon and Applejack headed to find and regroup with the rest of their friends.





45 Minutes More...

At the Main Hanger, Nezha Vengito waited patiently while tapping his feet. His Ultimate Soldiers were making final preparation as they all pumped the pipes into Black Alpha's sides. The Artificial Energon is filling him up. They have 30 more minutes before Dark Prophecy could fulfill!

Suddenly, the Ultimate Soldier has arrived and reported to Nezha Vengito. The Grand General was in shock yet angered and furious as he gritted his teeth. He is losing the battle to his enemies.

"This... This can't be! No! I refused!" Nezha Vengito exclaimed in anger. He looked at his necklace that consisted of eight geodes, which glowed darkly and eerily. He snarled, "If I were to win, then I must ascend to my godhood now!

Nezha Vengito screamed in anger as he grabbed and held a grip of his necklace. His body glowed in darkness as he began mutating and transforming into more powerful demonic and mutated monster. The Ultimate Soldiers yelped in fear and concern upon looking at his transformation. They all screamed in fear as they turned and escaped at once by exiting the main hanger's entrance in and out.

Team A and Team B arrived to the scene but stopped as they now witnessed his new transformation, which shocked and frightened them a lot. And unfortunately for them, Nezha Vengito dived and charged right down at both teams at once.

"What the hell?!" Everyone asked in shock.

Nezha Vengito screeched in anger, "BEGONE, MORTALS!"





30 More Minutes...

With Icy's guidance, she led her remaining teammates through the long hallway as they all headed straight to main hanger now. They even got called from Nyx about meeting them at the main hanger. However, they have to fight and deal with both Ultimate Soldiers and Mutated Zombies. Tailtech and Icy used their blast in firing Artificial Energon Cure at Mutated Zombies while the rest of their allies fought and defeated their enemy troops.

As they all continued running, they were able to reunite their allies - Fluttershy and Terrorcreep from left entrance while Applejack and Saber Dragoon from right entrance.

"Applejack! Fluttershy! You're okay!" Twilight Sparkle said in relief. She gasped upon looking at Fluttershy, covered in blood. She asked, "Fluttershy, you're hurt! Are you alright?!"

Fluttershy sighed, "I'm fine. And it's not my blood. It's Ripper's. I'm sorry for worrying you about this mess."

"Yeah, you sure did give us heart attack," Applejack said in concern. She sighed, "But I'm just glad you weren't really hurt."

Sunset Shimmer nodded, "Yeah, seeing you get hurt. We'd be heartbroken."

"It won't happen again," Fluttershy said calmly.

"No time for chitchat! We have to move now!" Saber Dragoon said in concern while looking at his watch, "We've got 30 more minutes!"

"Yeah! We have to get Black Alpha now!" Flash Sentry said in concern.

Terrorcreep nodded, "Agreed. But no doubt, Nezha Vengito will stop us no matter the cost. And I have the feeling he's going to use the geodes now!"

"Not on our watch!" Shadow Dragon exclaimed firmly. He turned to Tailtech, "Any word from others?"

"Nope. I have the feeling that Nezha Vengito has stopped them," Tailtech said in concern.

Icy hissed, "If we charged at him at once, we'd be easily get caught and defeated. We need to split into two teams to stop. One team distract him while another help and save others. And we might have the chance to shut down Black Alpha."

"It's a good and safe plan." Twilight Sparkle said in agreement, "We should do it."

Shadow Dragon nodded, "Alright. But watch your six! He knows we're coming..."





25 Minutes More...

Team C have arrived at the main hanger, where they saw dead bodies of Ultimate Soldiers. The team even found strange golden crystals trapping and holding down their unconscious friends. And at the same time, the crystals glowed brightly yet darkly as their friends' auras were revealed in their respective colors. Theirs have been absorbed and drained out from them. They all groaned and moaned in defeat like they're losing their powers.

"What's happening to them?!" Fluttershy asked in concern.

"Just like before..." Twilight Sparkle said in concern, "Their powers are being drained out!"

Applejack groaned, "I've always hate that!"

"We have to get them out of the crystals now!" Sunset Shimmer said firmly.

"There he is!" Tailtech exclaimed in concern as he pointed at Black Alpha, who was standing on the platform that will launch him to the sky. He approached to the computer panel. He gasped upon looking at monitor shown 100% functional and ready. He hissed, "This isn't good! Black Alpha is ready to launch!"

"Tailtech, shut it down now!" Terrorcreep ordered firmly. He turned to Icy and Mane Four, "Go and get your friends out now! We don't have much-!"

Terrorcreep got attacked and trapped by the golden crystal as it began draining his powers. The attack surprised and stunned everyone. And just before anyone could do anything, more golden crystals shot and trapped Saber Dragoon, Tailtech and Flash Sentry.

Mane Four were about to help their friends, Shadow Dragon quickly grabbed and moved them to the entrance before the golden crystal shot at them. Luckily, he dodged the attack. And at the same time, he heard an evil laughter. As he looked up, Shadow Dragon found someone familiar descending to the ground from the top.

Mane Four and Shadow Dragon gasped upon looking at Nezha Vengito's New Form. He has the face of grayish pale demon with two large antler horns and long messy yet spiky dark red hair worn darker green Chinese demonic armors with sharp horns and giant demonic wings, demonic gauntlets, jet boosters-like and levitated bluish rings on hands and feet. He armed with both Storm and Flare Spears, which he combined them into Whirlwind Spear.

"Hello there, my little friends..." Demon Nezha said amusingly and darkly, which shocked everyone. He chuckled, "Didn't expect me to become a god, did you?"

"Nezha, what the hell have you done?!" Shadow Dragon demanded in shock and anger.

"I've ascended to the godhood, obviously..." Demon Nezha said darkly and calmly, "And with this new demonic power and Cybertronian Knights, I will recreate this world into my image! And soon, the Mutants shall take what is rightfully theirs while the humanity will be no more! And I will be both Leader and God of this new world! Nothing will stop me from achieving my ambition!"

"You've let power corrupted you. You've gone insane!" Shadow Dragon was in shock and concern, "We are trying to bring peace to the world, not conquer and recreate the world into someone's image! This is not we're fighting for!"

"We're soldiers, Shadow Dragon," Demon Nezha said darkly, "We're not doing this for humanity. We're doing this for our kind. And you've forgotten your place! You chose humanity over your kind especially your love for the girl! The very one you loved, chose a normal boy over you because you're a freak! Do you still believe in her loving you?!"

Twilight Sparkle was shocked and stunned by Demon Nezha's words as she recalled of Timber Spruce being close to her, and this make her boyfriend more jealous and angry. She even hurt his feelings after he had a fight with camp consultant.

"Even so..." Shadow Dragon admitted as he summoned and unsheathed his Darkness Blade, "I still love her no matter what. And deep down, she would do the same thing for me..."

Touched by Shadow Dragon's love, Twilight Sparkle smiled while shedding tears of joy. Applejack, Sunset Shimmer and Fluttershy approached while patted her in comfort. She was very lucky to have a boyfriend like him.

Demon Nezha scoffed, "Disgusting... I hate 'love'."

"Like you ever understand it. You only want power and control," Shadow Dragon said darkly and firmly. As he activated Aura Dragon Power, the spiritual dragon appeared and formed him a blackish hardened armor. He armed and readied his Darkness Blade, "I'm gonna stop you once and for all."

Demon Nezha smirked as he readied his Whirlwind Spear, "Try me, fool. Prepare yourself for one last Duel of Destiny! Only one must survive!"

Demon Nezha and Shadow Dragon screamed wildly as they both charged in and began their battles. They both swung and clashed their weapons at each other while blocking and dodging the attacks for few times. Demon Nezha swung his spear on bottom, but missed as Shadow Dragon jumped and kicked him off. The hero slammed his sword on the mutated demon, who quickly deflected it off before thrust and stroke his spear at him for ten times. As Shadow Dragon dodged and deflected the attack off, before punched. He got grabbed and thrown to the walls, by Demon Nezha.

Luckily, Shadow Dragon landed his feet against the walls while recovered and landed on the ground. He readied his Darkness Blade at Demon Nezha, who hissed while held tightly on his Whirlwind Spear. Both of them charged at once. They both fiercely and swiftly swinging and striking their spear and sword at each other.

While Shadow Dragon duel with Demon Nezha, Twilight Sparkle and her team approached to Mane Three, Lance Justicestrike, Cutie Mark Crusaders, two pets and two Minicons at once. They all tried their best in getting them out of golden crystal.

Applejack groaned in anger as she tried to crack the golden crystal, "It's no use! These crystals are hard!"

"What are they made of?!" Fluttershy hissed in concern.

"Whatever it is," Sunset Shimmer grunted as she struggled in getting Rainbow Dash out, "Nezha really wants their powers badly!"

"There must be something we can do!" Twilight Sparkle asked in concern.

"Whatever it is," Rainbow Dash groaned in pain as she felt her magic continued draining, "Hurry! I can't stand on it."

"Me too..." Rarity said in exhaustion, "I'm exhausting."

"Me three. I'm losing my energy," Pinkie Pie said in concern.

"Hurry! Please!" Cutie Mark Crusaders pleaded.

Sunset Shimmer hissed, "Don't worry. We'll figure something out."

"Well, think faster!" Wheelie and Brains exclaimed in concern, "I can't hold on anymore!"

Nyx groaned in pain, "They're right. Hurry!"

"I don't feel so good." Lance Justicestrike groaned in pain, "I don't think we're gonna make it."

Spike and Dragoking groaned in exhaustion, "Help..."

Twilight Sparkle groaned as she slammed her fists against the golden crystal, "Please, hold on! Just hold on! We're gonna get you out! Stay with me, guys!"

Twilight Sparkle and her three friends struggled in getting their trapped friends out of golden crystals. For few rounds passed, both Shadow Dragon and Demon Nezha continued fighting against each other fierce and swift as neither wants to lose the duel. While they have the clash, Demon Nezha noticed the girls. He smirked widely.

"It seems your friends are trying to free my lunch," Demon Nezha remarked amusingly. He chuckled, "Since they wanted to be part of it, they can join!"

Shadow Dragon snarled, "Nezha, leave them alone now! This is between you and me only!"

"Too little, too late," Demon Nezha said amusingly as his right hand glowed in dark gold. He then fired his right at Twilight Sparkle and her friends, "They're mine to absorb now!"

Shadow Dragon gasped, "Noooooooooooooo!"

Heard the screams, Twilight Sparkle and her friends looked up and found Nezha Vengito has fired his golden crystal beams at them. As they all screamed in fear and agony, a familiar yellow Camaro Car drove out of the hanger's entrance. He charged right at the girls before he transformed into his robot mode. He landed on the ground while covering his friends before they all got encased by the golden crystals.

"Nooooooooooooooo!" Shadow Dragon exclaimed in shock. He groaned and screamed in anger. He turned and glared at Demon Nezha, "I'll make you pay!"

"Bring it on, now!" Demon Nezha said darkly.

Shadow Dragon and Demon Nezha screamed in anger as they both fiercely and wildly swung their weapons at each other for few rounds. Shadow Dragon swung his Darkness Blade over Demon Nezha, who dodged down while thrust his Whirlwind Spear at him. He deflected it aside before swiftly blocked the attacks from his nemesis. Shadow Dragon jumped up while slammed the spear to the ground while kicking Demon Nezha's chest and face for ten times, but he got his leg grabbed while his chest and head punched by his nemesis. Shadow Dragon quickly grabbed his opponent's hand while glaring at Demon Nezha briefly. They both pushed each other off. While getting up, they both grabbed and held their weapons before engaged each other.

Shadow Dragon swung and stroke his Darkness Blade hard in attacking and knocking down Demon Nezha, who moved and dodged it quickly for few times. As Shadow Dragon thrust his punch at Demon Nezha, who grabbed and twisted his hand on left, making him to scream in pain. Shadow Dragon stomped on Demon Nezha's feet while rammed the latter off as the former continued punching and kicking him for few times.

Shadow Dragon was about to give one last punch but grabbed and slammed him by Demon Nezha to the ground for ten times. Shadow Dragon nudged Demon Nezha's head before punched him off. Both of them swung, thrust and blocked their sword and spears at each other fiercely and wildly for few rounds. As they both clashed theirs briefly, Demon Nezha grabbed Shadow Dragon by neck before slammed his opponent to the ground hard.

"This ends now!" Demon Nezha screamed in anger, "Goodbye, my old friend!"

And just Shadow Dragon could do anything, Demon Nezha began punching on him by face and chest while his armor began cracking and breaking to pieces for few times. And at the same time, Shadow Dragon is bleeding from his face and nose. Is this the end of Shadow Dragon?!





Twilight Sparkle and her friends are still trapped inside the golden crystal. Luckily, Bumblebee came in time to hold himself against the crystal from enclosing them in. But everyone was still surprised and shocked by Bumblebee being alive.

"I can't believe! Bumblebee, you're alive!" Nyx exclaimed in relief, "But how did you-?!"

"Talk later!" Bumblebee radioed in concern, "Get us out of here! Can't hold it much longer!"

"He's right!" Everyone exclaimed in concern.

"How?!" Applejack asked in concern as she punched at golden crystal's walls, "Damn it! We're stuck!"

"We can't stay here too!" Rarity said in concern.

Rainbow Dash nodded, "Yeah. Our powers are getting drained! We've gotta do something!"

"Bumblebee, think you can break it out?" Lance Justicestrike asked in concern. Bumblebee groaned in pain as he gave some three punches on top, which cracked a bit. And unfortunately, it healed at once. He sighed, "Not good! This thing heals!"

"We can't get out of here by punches?!" Pinkie Pie asked in concern.

"Not just physical, magical! Bumblebee, keep punching!" Sunset Shimmer ordered. Bumblebee nodded firmly as he continued punching the crystal's ceiling for few times. She turned to Twilight Sparkle, "It's up to you. You can use your magic to pull the brambles apart!"

"No. The crystal's too hard for me to move it aside." Twilight Sparkle said in concern, "It would take too much magic. I can't!"

Sunset Shimmer held Twilight Sparkle's shoulder, "It's the only way! You have to embrace the magic inside you!"

"What if she takes over? What if instead of saving everyone, I turn into Midnight Sparkle and only make things worse?"

"That won't happen! We won't let it. But now Shadow Dragon needs us. Our friends need us now! They can't do it without us."

As everyone nodded in agreement, Twilight Sparkle realized of what her friends and family has said. Everyone and even her boyfriend need her now. She has to save them now. As she closed her eyes and concentrated firmly, her hands glowed in lavender while her forehead slowly revealed a horn as she was levitating and magically pushed the crystal's cracks out of it.

Unfortunately, it was temporary for her. The crystal magically pulled its shards and pieces back in knocking Bumblebee down while enclosing its prisoners. Nevertheless, Bumblebee continued punching against the crystal's ceiling. Her friends and family cheered and supported her to keep on trying.

As Twilight Sparkle tried again, her eyes glowed in cyan colors. Everyone especially Wheelie and Brains gasped in concern upon looking at her eyes. They even can hear the evil laughter. They knew where this was going now.

"We're gonna die!" Wheelie and Brains screamed.

"You will never control me! I will always be a part of you!" Midnight Sparkle's voice said darkly, "Now. I'm coming home!"

And just before Twilight Sparkle could do anything; dark angelic wings emerged out from her backs, her eyes glowed and turned into cyan demonic eyes and horn emerged out from forehead. The evil laughter continued echoing in her head. She screamed for help.

"Twilight, remain calm!" Optimus Prime's voice called, "Do not let your inner demon control you. Your will is strong. You have friends with you. They will help you. You can overcome it. We will always be there for you! You can do it!"

"He;'s right! Twilight, listen to us!" Sunset Shimmer pleaded firmly, "You are in charge!"

One-by-one her friends and even those who were battling with the enemies across the world including enemies and two Minicons cheered and encouraged Twilight Sparkle to overcome her evil and embrace the magic no matter what. Their voices are trying to reach her.

"[Rarity] You are a light, darling! A force for good! [Rainbow Dash] Yeah! You can kick the evil's butt! [Pinkie Pie] We're here for you, Twilight! [Applejack] And we'll be here no matter what! [Fluttershy] We believe in you! [Flash Sentry] We're not giving up on you! [Cutie Mark Crusaders] Go Twilight Go! [Megatron] If Optimus believed in you, then I'm putting my faith in you! [Cobra Commander] Do what you believe is right, Sparkle! [Duke] Keep fighting, kid Never give up! [Dragon Strike Force, Autobots, G.I. Joe, Decepticons and Cobra] Come on, kid! Don't give up! There's always a way! You can win! Surrender is not an option! Don't quit on us! There's a way out! [Wheelie and Brains] Come on, girly!"

"Come on, Sis! You can do this!" Nyx cheered.

Lance Justicestrike nodded, "Yeah! Shadow Dragon needs you!"

"Go, Twilight!" Spike and Dragoking cheered, "Do your best!"

Twilight Sparkle was touched by all of her friends and enemies, they all cheered and encouraged for her sake.

"You can do it..." Shadow Dragon's voice cried, "Don't give up... Don't let your Light extinguish!"

Twilight Sparkle turned to Sunset Shimmer, who nodded firmly, "You are not Midnight Sparkle!

Reminded and encouraged by her friends, Twilight Sparkle shown her firm looks while the wings, horn and even glowing eyes disappeared at once as she exclaimed firmly.

"No! I am Twilight Sparkle! And the magic I carry inside me is the Magic of Friendship and Light!"

With her declaration of embracing her magic, Twilight Sparkle glowed in lavender brightly. Her wings emerged from her back, long tail attached to her ponytail hair and a horn appeared on forehead. As Bumblebee managed make a crack on the crystal's ceiling, she then concentrated and channeling her magic power while facing at the ceiling. She is ready to fire her power





Shadow Dragon was badly injured and wounded while his Aura Dragon Power Armor has been destroyed. As he was being held up, Demon Nezha armed and readied Darkness Blade as he was targeting at his nemesis's heart. He laughed evilly and darkly.

"Prepare to die, Shadow Dragon..." Demon Nezha said calmly, "Goodbye..."

BOOM! Demon Nezha and Shadow Dragon turned to Mane Seven and their school friends' golden crystal prison, where Twilight Sparkle emerged out. She was flying straight towards them both. She is now both angry and fierce.

"Get your filthy hands off my boyfriend!" Twilight Sparkle screamed in anger.

And just before Demon Nezha could react, Twilight Sparkle punched right at his face. He was flying straight to Black Alpha's legs, where he got hit badly. She turned and helped Shadow Dragon.

"Twilight? Is that you?!" Shadow Dragon asked in shock.

"Yup," Twilight Sparkle smiled as she gave her boyfriend a kiss from cheek, "Be right back, honey!" She turned and headed straight to Demon Nezha. She held a tight grip of the geodes necklace, "I'll take this now! It's not yours now!"

"No! Stop!" Demon Nezha exclaimed in anger as he grabbed and held Twilight Sparkle's hand, "I will not be denied!"

"Guess what?!" Shadow Dragon's voice exclaimed. Demon Nezha looked up and found Shadow Dragon jumped high while slammed his kick right on his nemesis. He screamed, "You've been denied!"

Shadow Dragon slammed his kick on Demon Nezha to get knock out. Twilight Sparkle took and thrown the geodes necklace to the ground hard. It broke to pieces while releasing eight geodes. They all flew straight to both couples and Mane Six to their respective colors. As they were holding the geodes, they all began to transform.

Mane Seven and Shadow Dragon has now gained their new armors and gears. Mane Seven worn rounded necklace-like with respective cutie marks while

Rainbow Dash has her hair in ponytail and crystal wings worn crimson shirt with golden shoulder pads, lightning bolt-like gauntlets, blue jeans and yellow winged shoes. Fluttershy has crystal wings worn greenish dress, purple gauntlets, pink sparkling boots and three butterfly crystallized pins on her hair.

And lastly, Twilight Sparkle has long ponytail with crown-like headband and crystallized wings worn navy dress with purple skirt, purple pants, blue gauntlets and blue boots

Unlike Shadow Dragon's, he has a strange watch-like device with cutie mark on it. Instead of his Dragon Mutant form, he worn a black spandex-like suit with crimson Chinese's Armor-like, golden shoulder pads, golden knee pads, crimson demonic gauntlets, golden ankle pad and even a black samurai helmet with crimson lenses, golden antler-like crest on forehead and silver mask.

Eight pony-like superheroes are freed from their Golden Crystal Prison. They all flew and stood in midair before Demon Nezha and all of their allies. And at the same time, their colored glowing spread and affected their allies. Their injuries and wounds have been healed. They all awed in surprise and amazement while the Grand General was in shock and concern.

"This... This..." Demon Nezha said in shock and concern, "This can't be happening! This is not possible! How could this has happen?!"

"This ends now, Nezha!" Mane Seven and Shadow Dragon exclaimed firmly, "Get ready! Feel the power of Friendship of Magic now!"

Eight of them formed together in circle as they all began unleashing and combining eight colorful rainbow powers together. They all fired them straight at Demon Nezha. The Magic of Friendship Rainbow Power is engulfing him in whole body. He screamed in pain and agony. Their power also affected and damaged the Fortress of Deity's Wrath, which slowly shut down and deactivated its machine and control including all military arsenals, war machines and even Twelve Cybertronian Knights.

"No! No! Noooooooooo!" Demon Nezha exclaimed in shock and pain, "This can't be happening!"

While the Magic of Friendship Rainbow Power continued engulfing and striking its thunder down on Demon Nezha, he continued screaming in pain as his body began glowed in white while slowly formed some cracks. With the explosion occurred, Demon Nezha has returned to normal - Nezha Vengito, who fell and dropped to the ground.

Mane Seven and Shadow Dragon descended to the ground as they all faced the defeated Nezha Vengito. Their allies and friends came while cheering wildly and happily for them. They've defeated their enemy and saved the day. They even cheered happily as they were glad and happy to see Bumblebee being alive.

"You're alright!" Sideswipe exclaimed in relief, "You had us worried."

"But how?" Sam asked in concern and surprise.

Mikaela nodded in concern, "We saw you died to save Prime. How did you get your pieces back together?"

Bumblebee has his chest revealed metallic circle device-like for everyone to see it. They all awed in amazement while Optimus Prime and Megatron looked surprise.

"What the heck?" Cade asked in surprise.

"It cannot be..." Megatron said in shock.

Optimus Prime nodded, "It is. The Omega Spark Restorator - a device that helped and put all pieces together, no matter how many got broken, as long it attached to his spark." He sighed as he gave Bumblebee a comfort hug, "But I'm glad you're alright, Bumblebee. I'm so sorry for everything."

Bumblebe radioed as he return a hug to Optimus Prime, "Don't worry. It's okay, buddy. Everything is fine..."

"Nice work, kids," Duke commented.

Cobra Commander nodded, "Most outstanding skills you have performed, children. Indeed, it is."

"You all did it!" Cutie Mark Crusaders cheered.

Shadow Dragon shook his head while looking at Twilight Sparkle, "No, she did."

"Not really," Twilight Sparkle giggled a bit, "All of us. We all did it together as a team."

Spike whistled while looking at Twilight Sparkle's necklace, "Nice bling."

Shadow Dragon removed his helmet and looked at Twilight Sparkle's outfit. He smiled, "I think it looks good on you. Not bad with that outfit."

Twilight Sparkle giggled, "Not so bad yourself." She looked at her boyfriend's armor, "And that transformation you had, Shadow? I think it suits you more than the mutated dragon."

Shadow Dragon hummed while looking at his armors, "That I can agree on. Even better than my Dragon Mutant form."

Applejack held the necklace up, "What... What are these?"

Sunset Shimmer shrugged, "I'm not sure. But clearly we have some kind of connection to them."

"I almost don't care what they are. They are gorgeous!" Rarity gasped, "And will totally go with the other collection I was working on for the camp fashion show!" She yelped in realization, "That's probably cancelled, isn't it?"

"No! I was so close! How could I lose?!" Nezha Vengito exclaimed in anger as he slowly got up while glaring at his enemies, "You pathetic humans and your Transformer Allies have ruined everything!"

Shadow Dragon snarled, "We'd do anything to save our home!"

"You've lost, Nezha," Twilight Sparkle said firmly.

"Have I?" Nezha Vengito asked amusingly. Everyone was in confuse and shock. He chuckled while looked at Black Alpha, "It's just the beginning..."

As time reached zero, all planets including Cybertron and Earth formed a straight alignment line. The electrical energy shocked and surged across the planets from Cybertron to Earth. Its planetary alignment's power shot its dark crimson lights on Twelve Cybertronian Knights including Black Alpha from Fortress of Deity's Wrath.

Everyone was in shock and concern of what they just saw. They all don't like it at all. Nezha Vengito looked proud and amusingly as his master plan is coming true now.

As the crimson beam lights ceased from shooting down on Thirteen Cybertronian Knights, they all remained the same and immobile statues until Black Alpha's eyes glowed in red, which scared Twilight Sparkle.

"Oh no..." Twilight Sparkle said in concern.

Black Alpha snarled, "I am justice! I am the Lord of Knights! I am Black Alpha!" He looked down and glared at his enemies, "I am awaken and return! Time to finish what I've started! Let the Dark Prophecy begin!"
