A land ruled by humans were doing a festival, the humans lived in modern day, but were acting like they lived in Medieval times. The country still had a king, his name was Tom, he had an oblong face shape, tan skin, short light black hair, and blue eyes, he wore black and gold armor, he had a gold saber sheathed on his left hip, and was liked by the humans, but every human knew, he was just a figurehead, the true ruler was Emperor Volvox, the emperor of the underworld.

Volvox was a quadrupedal, but was extremely big, he was three thousand feet tall, and looked even taller when he stood on his hind legs, three hundred fifty feet wide, three hundred feet long, and had three heads, each head was shaped the same, the back of his head was shaped like semicircle, with the front being shaped like two right triangles that were back-to-back, Volvox also did not have any ears or noses, his six eyes were all monochromatic, and did not have any pupils or irises, they were on the sides of his head, and slanted. The right half of his body and his right head were gray and skeletal, the head did not have eyes, so the spaces were black, and its teeth were white, so were the five claws on his right front foot and right hind foot; the left half of his body and his left head were black and shadowy, the head's eyes and teeth were red, the five claws on his left front foot and left hind foot were also red; his center head, spine, and tail were pink and made out of a parasitic-like skin, his spine had yellow seven pointed star-like organic matter growing on him, each point was sharp and could be detached from his body, so they could be thrown for self-defense reasons, the tip of his tail was also yellow, it shaped like the tip of a spear, the back corners of the tip of Volvox's tail had sharp ends as well, and the center head's eyes and teeth were yellow, he did not wear any clothes or a crown.

Volvox controlled the underworld with a strict but fair rule, he had an army, a navy, and an air force, his entire military was massive, his first line of defense was always the zombies and skeletons, since they were mindless, and easy to control telepathically, Volvox did not like them, and he thought there was too many, they do not have a leader. Volvox's next line of defense was the mortals who came to him after they died, they serve under him as slaves as punishment for being wicked when they were alive, while it was consisted of mostly humans, Volvox also had vampires, were-beasts, elves, fairies, dwarfs, giants, Valkyries, trolls, ghouls, goblins, ghosts, and mummies who continued to commit crimes after they died, Judas Iscariot was the leader of them. Volvox's next line of defense were the fallen angels, who were sent to him as punishment, and they serve him, some liked serving him, others did not, and tried to rebel, they were killed by Volvox's demons, the leaders of the fallen angels were Abaddon and Azrael. Volvox's next unit were his demons, he had three different types: the land demons, the aquatic demons, and the aerial demons, he had so many, most people do not dare challenge them, as each one was faster, stronger, and more durable than even the most physically fit humans, but did not have magic of their own, they were led by Lucifer, Leviathan, Satan, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Mammon, and Belphegor.

Volvox kept the underworld under watch by seventy two different demons, they ranked lower than the Princes of the Seven Deadly Sins, each one is very powerful, and had different powers from one another, they were Bael, Agares, Vassago, Samigina, Marbas, Valefor, Amon, Barbatos, Paimon, Buer, Gusion, Sitri, Beleth, Leraje, Eligos, Zepar, Botis, Bathin, Sallos, Purson, Morax, Ipos, Aim, Naberius, Glasya-Labolas, Buné, Ronove, Berith, Astaroth, Forneus, Foras, Asmoday, Gaap, Furfur, Marchosias, Stolas, Phenex, Halphas, Malphas, Raum, Focalor, Vepar, Sabnock, Shax, Vine, Bifrons, Vual, Haagenti, Crocell, Furcas, Balam, Alloces, Caim, Murmur, Orobas, Gremory, Ose, Amy, Orias, Vapula, Zagan, Valac, Andras, Flauros, Andrealphus, Kimaris, Amdusias, Belial, Decarabia, Seere, Dantalion, and Andromalius, each one commanded several legions of demons, and one legion had five thousand demons in it, and seventy two of them together commanded a grand total of two thousand seven hundred forty legions.

Volvox kept a lot of monsters under his command as well, the monsters he had under his command was the Cerberus, the Orthrus, the Kraken, the Hydra, the Chimera, the Minotaur, a few Harpies, the Sphinx, Scylla, Charybdis, several Tengus, a few Gashadokuros, plenty of Kitsunes, lots of Tanukis, a few Yuki-Onnas, thousands of Onis, a lot of Umibōzus, the Azukiarai, the Bake-kujira, lots of Bakenekoes, the Enenra, every single Kappa, the Ushi-oni, the Hibagon, Bigfoot, the Yeti, the Hone-onna, the Ikuchi, the Isonade, the Loch Ness Monster, the Morgawr, the Issie, thousands of Ittan-momen, the Jorōgumo, several Kamaitachis, a few Nekomatas, the Wanyūdō, a lot of Kechibis, the Keukegen, the Mizuchi, a lot of Mujinas, a lot of Mu-Onnas, tons of Namahages, a few Ningyo, the Nue, very few Nure-Onnas, a few Ōkubis, the Ōmukade, thousands of Onibis, the Onihitokuchi, several Onikumas, the Raijū, the Rōjinbi, a lot of Satori, the Shuten-dōji, a few Tenka, a clan of Tsuchigumo, the Tsurube-otoshi, a lot of Yadōkai, a lot of Wendigos, the Basilisk, the Cockatrice, the Mongolian Death Worm, the Lambton Worm, the Azhi Dahaka, hundreds of Mngwas, the Bunyip, the Nemean Lion, several Skunk Apes, the Thetis Lake Monster, thousands of Nandi Bears, the Tarasque, thousands of Yowies, the Chupacabra, the Jersey Devil, hundreds of Manticores, the Erymanthian Boar, thousands of Golems, the Nuckelavee, hundreds of Stymphalian Birds, the Goatman, hundreds of Trolls, the Hound of Baskervilles, the Catoblepas, the Boogeyman, the Kongamato, a few Rocs, the Piasa, thousands of Ogres, hundreds of Centaurs, hundreds of Satyrs, thousands of Draugr, the Kelpie, the Lou Carcolh, very few Alps, the Penanggalan, the Aswang, and the Manananggal.

Volvox had incubi and succubi living as regular people in the underworld, but they fought in wars with him as well, he used to have Formorians as well, but they all fled when their king, Balor, was killed in battle. Volvox also had several traitors in his kingdom as well, but he was betrayed by them because two people betrayed him first, the first one was Apep, which led to Set betraying him as well, along with other creatures, the second traitor was Typhon, his treacherous second-in-command, it led to many creatures and Echidna turning against him as well, but the underworld fought them and got some of their children under their command again. Volvox's second-in-command now was Dommiel, and his bodyguard, he was also one of his advisers, along with Judas, Azrael, Abaddon, Lucifer, Bael, Paimon, Beleth, Purson, Asmoday, Vine, Balam, Zagan, Belial, and Haurus.

The underworld had torturers for those who Volvox did not like personally, his chief torturer was a ghoul named Giovi, he was five feet and ten inches tall, he had an inverted triangular face shape, his eyes did not have any irises and pupils, so they were completely white, his ears were pointed, his hair was straight, went down to his scapulae, and black, he did not have bangs, he had a mesomorph body, and was extremely muscular with a six-pack, he was shirtless, and wore black and metallic pants and mid-calf length boots that were also black and metallic. Giovi's species has black claws for their fingers, thumbs, and toes, but the claws on his hands were severed when he was alive, so Giovi used his fire magic and telekinesis to make ten silver knife blades that were sharp on both sides and had sharp tips, he then used telekinesis to put the knife blades on the stumps of his hands and wrapped them in place with white cloth. While Giovi can speak, he chose not to, because he believed actions were more powerful than words.



Tom and the humans continue partying with the festival, Volvox was kind enough to let the residents of the underworld party with the humans if they wanted to, but do not cause any chaos or hurt the humans, Volvox has threatened to kill them personally if they hurt the humans, mainly the incubi and succubi went, vampires and were-beasts attended as well, only a few goblins, trolls, ghouls, elves, fairies, and dwarfs attended, bored with the festival.

The alchemist of the party was experimenting with alchemy, and made a potion,

"Ahem, attention, everyone, please." the alchemist said, and everybody looked at him,

"I made the potion I was talking about earlier, I am about to use it." the alchemist said, Tom and the humans were excited,

"Please do, we have been dying for some real magic at this festival." Tom replied, the humans agreed, the monsters present agreed as well,

"All of my demons, come back to my world just in case happens, we can't risk you guys being exposed if we end up somewhere with monster haters." Volvox said from under the ground, he had a deep and booming voice, he spoke with his center head, the skeletal head and shadow head can speak, but he chose not to. The monsters go back into the underworld while Volvox meditates to see them come, Dommiel stood to his right, he was about eight feet tall, and had a muscular body, he wore a dark blue suit of armor, he had three red-orange organic spikes on his pauldrons, a white spike on the back of each couter, white spikes on the back of his bracers and gauntlets, a white spike on the top of each sabaton, the end of his sabatons were also pointed and sharp, his cuirass did not have any decorations on it, and his leg armor were custom-made he had one piece cover his entire shins and calves, knee pads, another piece cover his entire thighs, front and back, and a piece of armor that protected his genital and gluteal areas, Dommiel's helmet covered his entire head, leaving only his glowing red eyes exposed, he had three white horns on his helmet, two on the sides, and one on his forehead. Dommiel looked at Volvox while he sat on his hind legs, he did not have a throne,

"Volvox, what do you think the Count of Saint Germain is doing?" Dommiel asked,

"I don't know, but I am curious." Volvox replied,

"I was wondering if we should tell him to stop." Dommiel said,

"No, let him use it, the festival's been boring, this might make things interesting." Volvox replied,

"I guess you're right, your demons do look bored as of now." Dommiel said,

"That's because they've been alive for thousands of years, they're basically used to pretty much anything happening." Volvox replied,

"How old were you again, Volvox?" Dommiel asked,

"Fifteen billion." Volvox replied,

"I still think you should give your seventy two lieutenants and the Seven Princes a break, training and commanding thirteen million seven hundred thousand demons is tiring." Dommiel said,

"I have to watch over them, too, along with those seventy two lieutenants, the Seven Princes, Judas, those zombies, mummies, elves, fairies, dwarfs, vampires, were-beast, ghosts, goblins, ghouls, ogres, incubi, succubi, giant birds, monsters, cryptids, yokai, those monsters, and my two pets, I have to command even more than them, I also have to command you, Dommiel." Volvox replied,

"Yeah, but they get hungry, thirsty, and tired, Volvox, you don't, you also don't have to use the bathroom." Dommiel said, Volvox saw Dommiel had a point,

"Why did you appoint me to be your second-in-command for?" Dommiel asked,

"Because you have proven yourself to be loyal to me, and you're a competent fighter, I would've chose the strongest one, but I made that mistake twice already, they wanted to betray me." Volvox replied,

"Why didn't you make Lucifer your second-in-command?" Dommiel asked,

"Because he looks like the type that would want to overthrow me, and I have to keep an eye on Judas as well, he betrayed his former boss, he might try the same thing with me." Volvox replied, Dommiel agreed by nodding. Volvox and Dommiel hear screeching and they saw Volvox's two pets fly to him, they were birds, both males, one was red, and the other was blue, the red bird was a phoenix and had orange fire engulf his entire body, while the blue bird was a thunderbird, and had blue lightning engulf his entire body, Volvox just named them Phoenix and Thunderbird since that was what they were, the two were extremely loyal to him since he took care of them ever since they were babies.



The alchemist gets everything set up,

"Okay, here we go." the alchemist said, and he uses a technological device to open a portal to another area, he throws the flask with the dark green liquid in it into the portal, it breaks and the liquid spills. The portal goes haywire and gets bigger, everybody gasps while the portal engulfs their land, it soon disappears. Everybody looks around and sees everything looked the same,

"I don't see any differences." the woman said,

"Uh, guys?" a male toddler said as he pointed his right index finger to behind, the alchemist turned around and looked with everyone else, they all saw the Canterlot Castle behind them. The humans look around and they soon see the ponies, dragons, griffins, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs look at them, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna walked to their balcony to see the humans, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor were watching from the Crystal Empire, Thorax was flying in the air and watching them, Princess Ember and Dragon Lord Torch were watching as well, Prince Rutherford was on a mountain, looking at the humans, Grampa Gruff was watching from his home country, Princess Skystar, Queen Novo, Sky Beak, and Ocean Flow were looking from their homes, and Twilight Sparkle, Spike, and Starlight Glimmer were looking from their castle.

The humans and Tom look around with surprise,

"Were we supposed to get transferred here?" Tom asked,

"No, the potion and portal were supposed to send us back in time." the alchemist replied,

"Back in time? To when?" a human female asked,

"Back when we and monsters lived together." the alchemist replied,

"Uh... but we already live with monsters." a boy said,

"Yeah, but not together in unison like before." the alchemist said,

"What do we do, Your Majesty?" a man asked,

"Hold on, I'll go see the emperor." Tom replied, and he walked away, orange flames appear beneath him and he goes into the underworld.

Volvox was holding a meeting with Dommiel, Judas, Azrael, Abaddon, Lucifer, Bael, Paimon, Beleth, Purson, Asmoday, Vine, Balam, Zagan, Belial, and Haurus, Phoenix and Thunderbird were on bird stands. Tom walked to them and they all looked at him,

"What is it, Tom?" Lucifer asked,

"I came to ask what to do." Tom replied,

"We're all confused, Emperor Volvox is trying to decide what to do right now." Judas said,

"Why don't we attack them to show these natives that we are powerful and not to be messed with?" Tom asked, Volvox and his advisers glare at him,

"What?" Tom asked,

"Are you stupid? Attacking them directly is idiotic, it'll sour relationships immediately, and we don't know what they're capable of." Volvox replied,

"But I heard you attacked several other creatures many years ago." Tom said,

"That's because they attacked us first." Paimon replied,

"Oh." Tom said,

"I'm having Satan watch the other five princes, they're confused, too." Lucifer said,

"So are the other lieutenants, none of us know what to do." Bael replied,

"The humans are confused, too, I've come here for advice." Tom said,

"What are they doing now?" Vine asked,

"The alchemist is trying to find a way to send us back." Tom replied,

"The monsters are confused, too, but they're behaving themselves." Belial said,

"Good, the last thing I need is them running wild." Volvox replied,

"Can we let them out for fresh air?" Tom asked,

"No, Tom, some of them are violent." Purson replied,

"Indeed, you should be grateful, too, some of those monsters ate and killed humans before Volvox tamed them." Asmoday said, Tom was shocked,

"Well, anyway, everybody's confused, none of us have any ideas on what to do." Balam said,

"Should we continue the festival?" Tom asked,

"We have bigger concerns right now, Tom." Zagan replied,

"What else is there to be worried about?" Tom asked,

"Well, we don't know if our enemies are here, too or not." Haurus replied,

"Yeah, this world will be doomed if we go into another war with either Apep or Typhon." Dommiel said,

"Hey, where's Giovi?" Tom asked, the demons glare at him, a red light appears to Tom's left and it changes to Giovi,

"How are the torturers, Giovi?" Volvox asked, Giovi shook his head, signaling they were confused as well,

"Well, as we were saying, it's not Apep or Typhon that will destroy this world, going to war against the overworld will, all of those angels and gods will have no mercy on us next time." Volvox said,

"That reminds me, that human, Ezekiel, who has been after us has not been seen." Azrael said,

"Yes, we have not seen him, we believe he is beneath notice." Abaddon said,

"Everybody is worth noticing, it's those that you don't notice that will overthrow you." Volvox replied,

"Well, what should I tell the humans? They're all eager for my answer." Tom said,

"Tell them to continue with their days, but do not travel outside the country." Volvox replied,

"Very well." Tom said, and he left to go see the humans.

The humans wait patiently for Tom to return, he comes back and walks to them,

"What did he say?" a male human asked,

"Continue with our days, but stay in the country." Tom replied,

"Makes sense, we are in a foreign land." a woman said,

"True, we don't know what kind of dangers are out there." a boy replied, everybody agreed and they continue with the festival.

The festival continues while Tom looks around worriedly, he wondered what Volvox was thinking,

"Hey!" a female voice said, they all look and saw Pinkie Pie hopping to them,

"Can I join?" Pinkie Pie asked,

"Uh, well, it's not my call." Tom replied,

"Well, can I meet the party planner?" Pinkie Pie asked,

"Hold on, I'll go ask him." Tom replied, and he was about to leave, but purple flames appear in front of him and a light brown paper appeared, he grabbed it and opened it, he sees Volvox has written she can attend,

"You can join, but don't cause any trouble." Tom said,

"Whoo-hoo!!" Pinkie Pie said loudly while the humans just looked at her,

"Wow, you people are actually very accepting." Pinkie Pie said,

"You're actually cuter than most of the monsters we see." a boy replied,

"Monster? I'm not a monster, I'm a pony." Pinkie Pie said,

"Well, you can attend, just don't cause any trouble." Tom replied, and Pinkie Pie joined the humans in the festival.



Volvox watches with a screen he has made with his magic, the festival bored him, so he let Pinkie Pie join in hopes she can spice things up, he and Dommiel soon see Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Applejack come over to ask if they could join, Volvox gave Tom permission to invite them, hoping they could make the festival more interesting,

"Uh, Volvox, the next three look regal." Dommiel said, and Volvox sees Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence walking over,

"My, you are quite inviting, I'm Princess Celestia, this is my sister, Princess Luna, and my adopted niece, Princess Cadence, we're the rulers of Equestria and the Crystal Empire, I control the sun, Luna controls the moon, and Cadence spreads love throughout the land." Princess Celestia said,

"I don't like the sound of that." Dommiel said,

"Me neither, that makes me hope Ra, Apollo, Amaterasu, and Tsukuyomi didn't get transferred here, but I do wonder how they would react if they saw the Bakunawa, and Cadence better hope for the best Zeus isn't here, I can't imagine how she crazy she'd be around him, since Zeus can't keep it in his pants." Volvox replied, Dommiel chuckled,

"I see, what brings you three here?" Tom asked,

"Actually, we were hoping we could speak with your ruler." Princess Celestia replied,

"Oh, that would be me, I'm this country's king." Tom said,

"Oh, well, in that case, we would like to welcome you all to this world." Princess Luna said,

"Sorry, but no one can travel out the country for now." Tom replied,

"Well, lift it, I think a lot of creatures would want to visit your country, and vice versa with you guys." Princess Cadence said, Tom turned around,

"What do the rest of you say?" Tom asked, they all agreed, the Mane Six and princesses smile,

"Hold on, I'll be back, I'll go ask the others." Tom said, and he ran, the humans gathered around to hide him, Tom went back into the underworld. Volvox just sat on his hind legs and heard running, he saw Tom enter his quarters,

"I already know, Tom, let's lift it for now, but keep your guards up in case they attack us." Volvox said,

"You need to lighten up a bit." Tom replied,

"Tom, trust me, if you've been doing this for as long as I have, you'll have to take precautions, I've had many countries establish trade and relationships with me just so they can invade us later." Volvox said,

"Still, I wish you'd lighten up a bit." Tom replied,

"I'm afraid we can't, Tom, you know full well Osiris and Hades can invade us anytime, Anubis might invade us as well." Dommiel said,

"Okay, I'll go tell them." Tom replied, and he ran out. Tom returned to the surface world and the humans stepped to the side as he walked to the princesses,

"They said yes." Tom said, the Mane Six cheered,

"Yee-haw, Ah can get some new customers for mah cider." Applejack said,

"More people to watch my Wonderbolt shows!" Rainbow Dash said,

"Parties!" Pinkie Pie said loudly and happily,

"I can't wait to meet the animals of your country." Fluttershy said,

"I must explore this country and see what fashion you all have." Rarity said,

"I can have more creatures attend the School of Friendship." Twilight Sparkle said, confusing the humans,

"Uh, most of us already finished school." Tom said,

"The School of Friendship is for all ages, it teaches to accept everyone, despite their differences." Twilight Sparkle replied,

"Well, I'm not too sure about that, we have thousands of different cultures." Tom said,

"That's amazing, send one person of each culture to the school, then." Twilight Sparkle replied,

"Sorry, but only a few of those cultures are here right now." Tom said,

"Oh, well, then send the ones you have now." Twilight Sparkle replied,

"Sorry, kids, but it looks like we don't have a choice." Tom said, the children groan in disappointment,

"Hey, our school is different, we make sure it's fun for everyone." Pinkie Pie said,

"That sounds assuring." a boy replied sarcastically,

"Come on, we think you guys will like it, we'll give you a tour." Fluttershy said, and the kids go. Volvox and Dommiel watch through a screen and see the kids enter the school,

"Hi, everyone, welcome to the School of Friendship, I'm Spike." Spike said,

"What are you supposed to be?" a girl asked,

"I'm a fire breathing dragon." Spike replied,

"It's a shame we couldn't get any dragons." Dommiel said,

"I know, but they're too violent and unpredictable to have, and the Chinese Dragon would never serve under me." Volvox replied,

"What about the Nāgas?" Dommiel asked,

"They serve the gods, and the Ryūs are in their own leagues." Volvox replied,

"Hey, look, there's another person coming." Dommiel said, and he and Volvox watch,

"Hello, everyone, I'm Starlight Glimmer, I'm another administrator at this school." Starlight Glimmer said, the children were not surprised at seeing Starlight Glimmer,

"Another unicorn." Dommiel said with boredom,

"They're not like the ones back at home, though." Volvox said,

"Come on, I'll show you all to your classes." Starlight Glimmer said, and she led them. The students go through the classes and were bored in every class except for Pinkie Pie's class, they were not learning anything about friendship, they did not interact with the other students due to them still being new, but six students did go over to greet them,

"I'm Sandbar, I'm an earth pony." Sandbar said,

"You look a bit like a regular horse." a boy replied,

"I'm not, I'm a pony." Sandbar said,

"I'm Gallus, I'm a griffon." Gallus said,

"Well, that's a new type of griffon." Dommiel said,

"Yeah, I've never seen one like that one before." Volvox replied,

"I'm Smolder, I'm a dragon." Smolder said,

"Another dragon." Dommiel said,

"Yes, it seems the dragons in this world are friendlier." Volvox replied,

"I'm Ocellus, I'm a changeling." Ocellus said, the kids were confused,

"What?" Ocellus asked,

"Sorry, it's nothing." a girl replied, Dommiel and Volvox were surprised as well,

"She doesn't look anything like a changeling." Dommiel said,

"I know, the changelings in our world are fairies." Volvox replied,

"Me Yona, me yak." Yona said,

"A talking yak?" a boy asked,

"All yak talk." Yona replied,

"The ones in our world don't." a girl said,

"Oh, so Yona teach yak talk." Yona said, the children smile a bit, they found her broken English kind of funny,

"And I'm Silverstream, I'm a hippogriff." Silverstream said,

"Hippogriff? That sounds familiar." Dommiel said,

"There was one in our world, it had the front half of an eagle, and rear half of a horse, it was the child of a mare and a male griffon." Volvox replied,

"Oh, I remember now, shame you couldn't catch it and tame it." Dommiel said,

"Someone else got it." Volvox replied,

"Well, to better our relations, we were hoping we could be welcomed into your country." Sandbar said,

"I guess, it's not like we have a choice." a boy replied,

"Really?! Yay! Let's go!" Silverstream said, and they all go while Dommiel and Volvox watch.



Tom was busy speaking with Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence to establish trade relations and diplomacy, the three princesses were overjoyed, the humans were liking the world so far, the people seemed friendly. The kids return from school and go to their country,

"How was the school?" Tom asked,

"It was alright." a boy replied, the other kids agreed,

"Well, since the other countries are starting to bond with the others, I'll inform the rulers to come meet you." Twilight Sparkle said,

"Wait, this is going a bit too fast for my liking." Tom replied,

"Well, you are new here, so we might as well let you all know where the other countries are." Twilight Sparkle said,

"Alright, but don't rush it." Tom replied, and the other rulers come visit the humans, they were all not surprised by the physical appearances of the natives of the world, due to Volvox's many monsters, which they have already seen, they see the rulers of the other countries come and Volvox just watched while Tom was greeted by them, they all begin conversing and Tom had trouble understanding Prince Rutherford, and he found Grampa Gruff's attitude unlikable,

"Now, Tom, the first thing we want you and your people to do is respect and understand each creature's cultures and customs." Princess Celestia said,

"That shouldn't be too hard, I mean, my people have thousands of different cultures and customs." Tom replied, the humans murmured in agreement,

"Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, I wanna learn them!" Silverstream said,

"It's going to take you years to learn them all." Tom replied,

"Yona want learn culture, too." Yona said,

"Do you guys have any fighting?" Princess Ember asked,

"Yeah, we have those sometimes." Tom replied, Princess Ember was happy,

"What are you guys called?" Queen Novo asked,

"Humans." Tom replied,

"Do humans have music?" Prince Rutherford asked,

"Yeah, we have music." Tom replied, Prince Rutherford smiled,

"I hope you all are tough, and not puny people." Grampa Gruff said, the humans look at him with confusion,

"Uh, our species has been around for millions of years, we're at the top of the food chain now." a boy said,

"Oh, so you all are tough, I like that." Grampa Gruff said with a smile, the humans smiled back,

"If possible, I want to learn the ones present, too." Twilight Sparkle said,

"Okay, but don't disrespect our customs, either." Tom replied, and the others agreed, and the creatures enter the country to learn about the different cultures of the humans, much to their surprises, they left after many hours and the day ended.

A few days pass and the Count of Saint Germain was still trying to work on a potion to send them back home, Volvox watched the humans from the underworld and they were having trouble respecting foreign cultures and customs, especially yak culture, they were very specific and petty, and declared war at the slightest offense, the griffons and dragons were not any better, they were unfriendly, they could not fully learn the entire cultures of the ponies and hippogriffs due to the humans being unable to fly or breathe underwater, and the changelings did not really have much of a culture, the humans did meet Shining Armor and Flurry Heart, though, Flurry Heart was especially excited to meet the humans.

Volvox and Dommiel hear about Rainbow Dash's pranks and then the one Ponyville pulled on her, the two were unamused,

"Seriously? Zombies?" Dommiel asked,

"I know, right? Their zombies eat cookies? My zombies eat people." Volvox replied, and they see the humans go back to their home country.



Tom was doing a roll call to make sure every human was present, they had mixed feelings about the world,

"Uh, Tom?" a man asked as he pointed with his right index finger, Tom turned around and saw a male human coming, he had tan skin, a round face, and brown eyes, his hair could not be seen, he was wearing the armor of an Aztec Eagle Warrior.



Volvox groaned in disgust while he shook his head, Volvox did not have a good relationship with the deities back in the human world, he kind of disliked Buddha, he had some dislike for Odin, he somewhat disliked Izanagi, Izanami, and Susanoo, he really disliked Ookuninushi, he hated Indra, he hated Enlil as well, he also hated Loki, Volvox also highly disliked the Greek gods, he especially hated Zeus, Eris, Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, and he hated the Aztec gods the most,

"You never did state why you dislike the deities you dislike, Volvox." Dommiel said,

"Buddha learned a group of people went through eighty disasters when they were on their way home, and Buddha made another one happen just so they can have eighty one disasters, eighty one divided by nine is nine, and that's Buddha's lucky number. Odin had his own followers killed and they got sent here, and one time, wouldn't let Thor cross a bridge while bragging about how many women loved him. Izanami died while giving birth to Kagutsuchi, which caused Izanagi to kill him, he tried to get Izanami back, but ran away in fear at seeing her new body, and blocked one of the entrances to this underworld with a boulder, Izanami got mad and said she would kill a thousand people every day, while Izanagi said he would birth a thousand five hundred people, and Susanoo was born from his nose. Susanoo was very violent, and destroyed his Amaterasu's rice paddles, crapped in her irrigation ditches, threw crap at her temple, and killed her hand-maidens when he threw a horse at her loom, she went into hiding because of him. Ookuninushi caused a plague during an emperor's reign, and wanted a new temple to end it, it was built, but he was still mad, and made the next emperor's son stupid, and he wanted another temple because of it. Indra sent dancing girls of his court to disrupt prayers if a human, god, or demon had too much power, and he would make love to the wives of the sages by disguising himself as them. Loki tried to destroy our world with Fenrir and Jörmungandr. Zeus is unfaithful to his wife and gave humanity evil in the first place with Pandora's Box. Eris made a golden apple dedicated to the most beautiful goddess, which caused conflict between Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, which led to the Trojan War happening, and Athena also turned Arachne into a spider when she beat her at a weaving contest. The Aztec gods demand sacrifices of the mortals, children and babies included." Volvox explained, Dommiel remembered all of those events happening, he and Volvox keep watching the human.



Tom looks at the human and watches him, the others countries see him as well, Rarity had a disgusted face, she did not like his outfit at all, while Fluttershy was concerned, she thought the Eagle Warrior outfit was made out of real eagle,

"I am Eztali, I would like to speak to the ruler." the warrior said, Tom walked forward to go see him,

"What do you want?" Tom asked,

"No, not you, the real ruler." Eztali replied, shocking the other countries,

"What?" Princess Luna asked, Twilight Sparkle and her friends watch uncomfortably,

"Sorry, but the answer's no, in our culture, foreigners are not allowed to meet the emperor." Tom replied, shocking the other countries again, the rulers were unhappy as well,

"I wish to speak with him." Eztali said,

"I'd be willing to give him a message." Tom replied,

"No, I'd like to see him directly." Eztali said,

"He's still not going to allow you to see him." Tom replied,

"I'd figured this would happen, my ancestors did say he is stubborn, good thing I came prepared." Eztali said,

"With what?" Tom asked, the humans were then grabbed from behind and held hostage by other Aztec Eagle Warriors,

"Now, he doesn't have a choice." Eztali said,



Volvox and Dommiel watch him and notice Tom and the others were in danger,

"What shall we do, Volvox?" Dommiel asked,

"Unleash the zombies, mummies, and skeletons, I'll direct them telepathically." Volvox replied, and Dommiel used his telekinesis to open the gates that contained them, Volvox led them telepathically.



Eztali waits for Volvox to appear, but the ground erupts under his warriors, they are grabbed by the zombies and they scream, the humans of the country run away,

"Z... Zombies!" one warrior said, and they all run back to Eztali. The zombies burst out of the ground and moan as they walk towards the Aztec warriors, each zombie had monochromatic white eyes, and grayish skin. The Aztec warriors fight the zombies and kill several of them easily, but some zombies overpowered them and began eating them, the humans screamed, Ponyville was horrified,

"They're eatin' people!" Applejack said,

"Come on, we have to stop them." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the Mane Six goes over to stop the zombies. The Aztec warriors fight back and take down most of the zombies, but the ground bursts open to the left and the right, mummies come out of the left area, and skeletons come out of the right, each skeleton had a sword and a shield. The mummies shoot their bandages at the Aztec warriors and wrap them up while the skeletons stab and kill a few of them, the zombies then ate them, the Aztec warriors bitten by zombies turn into zombies themselves, and fight the invaders,

"Stop!" Twilight Sparkle said as she held the zombies, mummies, and skeletons up, the Mane Six and rulers of the countries go to the humans,

"What is going on here?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"Their emperor disrespected the gods of my culture, they have sent me here to settle things." Eztali replied,

"You know our customs, no foreigners see the emperor." Tom said,

"What? Why not?" Rainbow Dash asked,

"That's just how our culture is." Tom replied,

"Tom, please, we must." Princess Cadence said,

"Sorry, but you have to say your concerns to me." Tom replied,

"Every human knows you're just a figurehead, you have no power." Eztali said,

"Over this area, I do." Tom replied,

"Tom, please, we have to see the emperor if we want to discuss trade and foreign relations." Princess Celestia said,

"He's not going to answer." Tom replied,

"Just as I thought, he has all of this power, and yet, he sends his undead army after us." Eztali said,

"What are those?" Pinkie Pie asked,

"Zombies, they're the emperor's very first line of defense." Tom replied,

"I noticed somethin' strange." Applejack said,

"What?" Tom asked,

"When someone got hit by one of 'em zombies, they changed into one." Applejack replied,

"Oh, the zombies carry diseases, whoever is scratched or bitten by them change into one." Eztali said, Rarity exclaimed out of shock,

"How filthy! Those zombies need to take a bath!" Rarity said,

"What are those?" Twilight Sparkle asked as she pointed to the left with her front left hoof,

"Mummies." Tom replied,

"What are those?" Fluttershy asked,

"It's when a dead body is preserved so it does not decay over time." Eztali replied,

"I must say, what a waste of material, those linens could be used to make some gorgeous outfits." Rarity said,

"Are there anymore creatures besides those skeletons?" Princess Celestia asked in a stern tone,

"Yes, the emperor has a lot of creatures." Eztali replied,

"Strange, though, he usually only sends zombies and skeletons as his first line of defense, the mummies are with his second line of defense." Tom said,

"Well, tell the emperor we'd like a word with him the next you visit him." Princess Celestia said, and the natives of the world left. Eztali holds his sword at Tom's neck,

"What are you doing?" Tom asked,

"The emperor has many powers, and yet, he chooses to hide behind his military, like a coward." Eztali replied,

"You dare imply cowardice on my part?" Volvox asked in his usual deep and booming voice, it scared the natives of the world when they heard him, the humans look and see Volvox was beside Eztali's right foot, used his powers to shrink himself to the size of a fairyfly,

"Uh-huh! So the emperor finally shows himself! This is for my gods." Eztali said,

"Tell Tezcatlipoca to find a new way to be worshiped." Volvox replied, shocking the Aztecs,

"Even when you are in danger? You still show blasphemy?!" Eztali asked,

"I told your chief god many years ago, I do not like having people sacrificed to be appeased." Volvox replied, the natives gasp,

"What?! Sacrifice to be appeased?!" Princess Luna asked,

"What about you? You have slaves under your command." Eztali said,

"They committed wicked deeds while alive, they serve under me as slaves as punishment for the crimes they committed." Volvox replied,

"Nevertheless, it is time you have been punished for your disrespect, prepare yourself, emperor!" Eztali said, he was about to hit Volvox with his macuahuitl, but Volvox grabbed it with his front left foot and lifted Eztali off of the ground,

"Argh!! What is this?!" Eztali asked in horror, Volvox threw him in the air and he screamed as he hit someone's house and broke the roof,

"Withdraw!" one Aztec warrior said, and they all fled. The Mane Six, Young Six, and rulers of the other countries go back to them to see Volvox, they were shocked by how small he was. Princess Celestia tried to look down to see him, but she had trouble, so she used telekinesis to pick him up, everybody was shocked by how small he was,

"This emperor? Yak demand answer for such small size!" Prince Rutherford said,

"He can change how big and small he can be." Tom replied, surprising everyone,

"I can go smaller than this." Volvox said,

"Don't, you're already hard enough to see that small." Princess Skystar said,

"So you're the ruler?" Dragon Lord Torch asked,

"Yes." Volvox replied,

"Well, in that case, we'd like to see you every time we have to discuss things." Twilight Sparkle said,

"Okay." Volvox replied,

"Does that mean I have to step down, Emperor?" Tom asked,

"No, keep your position, I need someone to keep an eye on the surface world." Volvox replied,

"Surface world? You live underwater?" Silverstream asked,

"No, he commands the underworld." Tom replied,

"Y'all have a Tartarus, too?" Applejack asked,

"Well, you can put it that way, it's huge." Volvox replied,

"Let's go back now, it's getting late." Grampa Gruff said, and they all left. Volvox went to go check on Eztali, he was unconscious, so he just uses telekinesis to put him out of the country, and goes back into the underworld.



A few weeks pass and the relationships with the other countries sour a bit due to Volvox having slaves, the other rulers have asked him to free them, but he said that they serve him as punishment for their wicked lives. Princess Celestia demanded that he change his policy to only letting those like the petty thieves serve him a temporary amount of time instead, and Volvox reluctantly agreed. The alchemist continues making a potion, he finished one,

"Attention, everybody." the alchemist said, and the humans look at him,

"I have finished a potion, let's see if it sends us back home." the alchemist said, the humans smile and watch with excitement. The alchemist uses a technological device to open a portal, he throws it in, hoping it would send them home, it did not, it made the Burj Khalifa come into the world instead. The natives of the world look at it with shock,

"Whoa! That thing is huge!" Rainbow Dash said,

"Indeed, that's the tallest building I've ever seen." Fluttershy replied,

"Oops, it looks like the potion still needs some work on it." the alchemist said,

"Well, get to it, then, still, I remember when we constructed this." Tom replied,

"Yes, it's the biggest building we've ever made." a woman said, they hear Silverstream squeeing behind them, they turn around and see her,

"You all built this?" Silverstream asked, the humans nod,

"Wow! It's the biggest building ever!" Silverstream said, the humans did not argue because it is the tallest skyscraper in their world, the other creatures travel to the country to see the skyscraper,

"What's going on all of a sudden?" Tom asked,

"We want to see the building, we have never seen a building so big." Princess Cadence replied,

"Yes, it looks like a tower." Shining Armor said,

"Goodness, building this must have taken a long time." Sugar Belle said while Big Macintosh stood to her left, the other creatures look at it, some flew to the top of it, surprising everyone,

"Please I must know its secrets." Twilight Sparkle said,

"What secrets?" Tom asked,

"How you guys built it, the materials, the base shape, and I want to know how the base supports all of its weight." Twilight Sparkle replied,

"I must say, it has caught my curiosity as well." Princess Celestia said,

"Indeed, this world has never seen such a big building." Princess Luna replied,

"Come on now, everyone, leave for now, since you all like it, we have to set things for this to be a tourist site." a man said, the creatures smile and they all leave,

"I'm still surprised at how huge this got." a girl said,

"Exactly, it's the exact same height as the emperor." a man replied,

"No, it's not." Volvox said, scaring the humans, they look and see Volvox was using an invisibility spell, he takes it off and reveals himself, standing on his four legs, and at his regular size, the native creatures see him and were extremely shocked at how big Volvox truly was,

"See? I'm still taller than this." Volvox said,

"Emperor? What are you doing here?" Tom asked,

"My two pets wanted some fresh air." Volvox replied,

"Oh." Tom said,

"Who said this building's the same height as me?" Volvox asked,

"I did." the man replied,

"Well, get your measurements right next time." Volvox said, and he lifted the building out of the ground with his front left foot, it was as light as a feather for him. The man screamed as he saw Volvox was about to throw the building onto him,

"Volvox! No!" Princess Celestia said, he looks and saw her flying to him,

"This is a tourist attraction for your country, you should keep it." Princess Celestia said,

"It's not really normal for me to have tourist attractions." Volvox replied,

"Well, keep it, it'll improve relations with us." Princess Celestia said,

"Alright." Volvox replied, and he put the building down, the native creatures cheered and Volvox went back underground while Princess Celestia left.



A few days pass and the humans have been dealing with destroyed homes, the creatures noticed their struggle and wondered what was going on, a boy catches what was causing the chaos, and to the surprise of the humans, it was the Dover Demon. Tom goes to the church and rings the bells, the ground bursts open and Volvox came out, the humans glared at him,

"What is it?" Volvox asked,

"One of your monsters has been causing us trouble." a man replied, surprising the native creatures,

"Which one?" Volvox asked,

"This one." the boy who caught it replied, Volvox uses telekinesis on the Dover Demon,

"This isn't one of mine." Volvox said,

"Wait? The Dover Demon doesn't belong to you?" a girl asked,

"No, it doesn't." Volvox replied, Fluttershy flew to it,

"Can I see it?" Fluttershy asked, and Volvox shows it to her,

"Oh, this is a new one." Fluttershy said,

"It's from our world, it's called the Dover Demon." Tom replied,

"Dover Demon? He doesn't look like a demon to me." Fluttershy said, and she cuddles with him, it became friendly,

"See, he just wants friends." Fluttershy said, the humans did not buy it,

"Come on now, let's get you a nice new home." Fluttershy said, and she took the Dover Demon with her, the native creatures go to her to look at it with curiosity, the humans shrug and Volvox just goes back into the underworld, the ground fixes itself in the process.



Two days pass and the humans lived peacefully, native creatures came just to see the Burj Khalifa. The natives left and the humans hear hissing in their country, the other countries look at the country. Volvox comes out of the underworld and uses telekinesis on what was causing it, surprising everybody, it was the Flatwoods Monster,

"Dang, the Flatwoods Monster got transferred here, too." a boy said,

"Before you guys ask, no, this isn't one of my monsters." Volvox said, the humans coughed and gagged due to the monster's odor, it smelled burnt and metallic. The Mane Six and rulers go to the country to see the creature,

"Oh my, Equestria has never seen such a creature." Princess Celestia said,

"Can we see it?" Pinkie Pie asked,

"No, that thing's dangerous." Tom replied, the Flatwoods Monster hisses and it scared everyone, Princess Luna casts a spell to put it in ice,

"Bring it to me, I'd like to study it." Twilight Sparkle said,

"Alright, but don't expect much." Volvox replied, and he used his telekinesis to give it to her, and everything went back to normal.



Four days pass and nothing interesting happens, the humans hear fighting in their country and they look, the racket was so loud, the other countries watched them again. Volvox came out of the underworld to see as well, he saw it was two creatures fighting,

"Oh, those two are at it again." Volvox said,

"Who is it?" Tom asked,

"You're about to see." Volvox replied, and the two creatures come into sight, they were humanoid monsters,

"Hey, it's Mothman and Owlman." a boy said,

"*sigh* those two are fighting again." Tom replied, the two creatures screech as they fight,

"No! Stop it! Both of you!" Fluttershy said angrily as she flew to them, the two look at her, and were about to continue fighting, but Fluttershy stares at the two. Mothman and Owlman become scared and fly down to the ground and get on their knees',

"Now, we're going to settle this peacefully, I would like to know what started the feud." Fluttershy said, the two did not respond,

"You do know they can't speak, right?" a boy asked,

"No worries, I have many ways to understand animals." Fluttershy said, Twilight Sparkle walked to them,

"Mothman, Owlman, please, no fighting, I'm trying to work." Twilight Sparkle said, the two looked down,

"Come with me, you two, I think we might be able to find something you two might like together." Fluttershy said while smiling, and the two follow her while she walks away. The humans look on in shock at the fact that Fluttershy was able to control Mothman and Owlman, while Volvox went back into the underworld.



A week passes and the alchemist keeps working, the humans were on better relations with the countries, but they still had strained relationships with the yaks, the griffons, and the dragons, they got along with everyone else, however, they all met in a building in the center of the world, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, King Thorax, Princess Skystar, and Queen Novo would all gather together to discuss relations, Volvox would go occasionally, and shrink down to their size.

A woman in the human's country screams and a boy runs to them,

"Help! Spring-Heeled Jack is here!" the boy said, scaring the humans. Spring-Heeled Jack jumps onto a house with a sack of coins on his waist, the humans scream at seeing him. Spring-Heeled Jack jumps towards the humans with knives in his hands, Tom is knocked down by him and some of the humans run away while screaming while the rest tried throwing things at him to distract him, one man grabbed him from behind and Spring-Heeled Jack jumped, he went very high, the other countries were shocked to see how high he can jump. Spring-Heeled Jack throws the man off of the roof and he screams, Lyra Heartstrings uses her horn to catch him in midair. Spring-Heeled Jack jumps back towards Tom, he takes his sword out and the two begin fighting, the two were at a stalemate for now. Spring-Heeled Jack hits Tom with the back of his right hand and sends him flying, he grunts and falls, Spring-Heeled Jack jumps towards him and was about to stab the knife in his right hand into his head, but telekinesis is used and he is held in the air.

Tom gets up and turns around, he saw Princess Celestia using telekinesis as she and the others walked to him,

"Who in tarnation is this?" Applejack asked,

"Spring-Heeled Jack, he's another creature from our world." Tom replied,

"Creature? He looks like a human." Twilight Sparkle said,

"He's what we call a humanoid monster." Tom replied,

"You all looked scared." Princess Luna said,

"That's because he's strong, he's a robber, too." Tom replied,

"Well, in that case." Princess Celestia said, and she casts a spell to freeze him,

"If possible, can I have a look at his boots?" Rarity asked, and Princess Celestia uses her magic to get them off and give them to her,

"Well, thank you again." Tom said,

"You're welcome." Princess Celestia replied while smiling, and they go their separate ways. Volvox was watching from the underworld, he did not help because he knew Spring-Heeled Jack would be stopped.



Two days pass and nothing happens, but the humans hear running in their country, they could not find the source, which scared them, Tom called Volvox again, he came to the surface world,

"What is it?" Volvox asked,

"We're hearing a lot of running recently, and we don't know what's causing it." Tom replied, Volvox was unhappy, he hears the running and sees what caused it, he used telekinesis on it,

"Oh, I'm so scared." Volvox said sarcastically, and he shows them what was causing it,

"It's the Headless Horseman." Volvox said, and he put it down, the Headless Horseman's horse walked to the humans, several foreigners were in the country,

"Uh, that's... actually kind of scary." Sugar Belle said,

"You guys are scared of it?" a woman asked,

"Kind of, yeah." Apple Bloom replied,

"We actually have a similar tale." Scootaloo said,

"And what would that be?" Tom asked,

"The Headless Horse." Sweetie Belle replied,

"Well, I hope you guys are happy, this was a waste of my time." Volvox said, the humans looked down,

"Uh, Volvox?" a boy asked nervously from behind,

"Hmm?" Volvox asked while turning around, he sees another creature on horseback,

"Dullahan's here, too." the boy replied,

"I see, go on, Dullahan, and don't kill anyone." Volvox said, and the black horse Dullahan was on walks towards the mortals, the ponies, dragons, yaks, griffons, changelings, and hippogriffs were shocked at what they saw,

"Dullahan at your service." Dullahan said in a male voice,

"Wait, how can you speak with no head?" Rainbow Dash asked, Dullahan reaches into his thighs with his left hand and holds up his head, which had a wide smile, some of the natives of the world exclaim,

"Ah must say, that is downright creepy." Applejack said,

"Eeyup." Big Macintosh replied,

"I cannot say other people's names, they will die if I do." Dullahan said,

"Wait a minute, is that a vertebrae in your other hand?!" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"Uh, well?" Dullahan asked, Princess Celestia walked to them,

"Headless Horseman, Dullahan, if possible, try to be a bit quieter, we've been hearing you two roaming around at night as well, and it's waking us up." Princess Celestia said,

"My apologies." Dullahan replied while the Headless Horseman just looked down,

"Don't contact me about horse related problems again unless it's the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse or the Sluagh on horseback." Volvox said, and he went back into the underworld, the Headless Horseman and Dullahan rode off and everybody resumed their days.



Two weeks pass and the humans were doing trade with every country, Ponyville got attacked by a ursa minor one week ago, Twilight Sparkle used her magic to get him out. The humans were getting on with their days and a boulder lands in the city, the humans scream at seeing it, an old man runs to the top of his house's roof and looks on with a telescope, the old man becomes scared,

"What do you see?" Tom asked,

"Talos!" the old man replied with horror, the humans screamed in terror. Tom ran to the church to ring the bells, Volvox came to the surface world, he sat on his hind legs,

"What is it this time?" Volvox asked,

"Talos! He's here!" the old man replied, Volvox was surprised,

"Wait? Talos is here?" Volvox asked, the old man nodded,

"Volvox, please, you must protect us." a woman said,

"Hold on a minute, you guys are starting to get dependent with me protecting you guys, I won't always be available, I'll let you guys deal with him on your owns." Volvox replied,

"But we're no match for someone like him." Tom said,

"Sure you are. What do you guys know about him?" Volvox asked,

"Uh, that he's a giant." a girl replied,

"Okay, what else?" Volvox asked,

"He's invincible." a boy replied,

"Well, yes, but he has one weakness, what is it?" Volvox asked,

"A nail in his left ankle." another boy replied,

"See, there you guys have it, you all know how to beat him, I'll let you guys defend yourselves this time." Volvox said, and he goes back into the underworld,

"Okay, everyone, let's come up with a plan." Tom said,

"It's too late for planning, he's here." the old man replied,

"What? Already?" Tom asked, a house gets destroyed and everybody sees Talos come to them. The natives of the world look on in horror at seeing the seventy meter tall bronze statue walking to them, with a sword in his right hand. Talos walks to them and tries to step on the humans, they scream while several humans tried throwing rocks at him, some shot arrows, some tried using spears to distract him, none of them worked. Talos picked up a house and threw it onto the ground, some humans screamed as they were smashed by it. The humans were struggling against Talos, he would not walk forward, he swings his sword down and the humans scream as it hits the ground, he then picks up another house and throws it onto more people. Tom notices the alchemist was nowhere to be seen, but he ignores it and tries to command the others,

"Lure him forward!" Tom said, and the humans tried, but Talos did not walk, he continued to just stand and swung his sword again, the humans ducked to dodge it. The ponies, dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs go over to help, Twilight Sparkle and the other unicorns shoot him with their magic, it did nothing, Talos grabbed the Pegasi, griffons, dragons, and hippogriffs with his left hand, they screamed in terror, Princess Ember tried using her fire breath on him, it did nothing, Maud Pie tried punching his left foot, it had no effect,

"Okay, there should be a nail on him somewhere." Rarity said, Talos walks forward with his left foot in hopes of smashing more people, they move away, they see the nail in his left ankle,

"There it is." Applejack said while she pointed her front right hoof. Tom took his sword out and ran to it, he tries to remove the nail with it, it would not budge. Applejack and Big Macintosh run away and come back with rope, they wrap it around the two rods, the two pull on it while Tom uses his sword in hopes of removing it. Talos looks back to see what was going on behind him, but the others distract him. Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Maud Pie go to Tom to help him remove the nail, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash grunt since the nail was on tight, it turns a little and white smoke began to come out. Talos looks back again to see what was happening, he dropped the people in his left hand in the process, the unicorns and changelings used their magic to catch them. Tom, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Maud Pie, Applejack, and Big Macintosh continue to try to remove the nail, it was on tight and not moving much. Gallus and Smolder joined to help Applejack and Big Macintosh move the rope, the nail moves a little bit, Sandbar and Silverstream then grab the rope, Ocellus tried to pull the rope with her mouth as well, the nail turns a little bit, Yona runs to them to help and she charges into the nail from the right. The nail comes off and the ichor pours out, Talos begins to scream and grasp his neck with his hands, everybody watches, he stops and begins to crack, he starts to fall and everybody runs away and he hits the ground, his arms and head break off.

Everybody walks back and looks at the broken Talos,

"Is everybody okay?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"It seems that way, thank you, all of you." Tom replied, the creatures smile,

"So, uh, what do we do with all of the bronze?" a boy asked,

"I don't know, there's not much we can do." Tom replied,

"Well, you could share it with us, we did help." Princess Celestia said, the creatures agree,

"Alright, but moving it is going to be hard." Tom replied,

"Nah, I'm sure some unicorn magic will be enough." Twilight Sparkle said, and she tries to lift the pieces, she could not even lift one piece,

"See, this is going to take a while to move." Tom said,

"Let yak help, yak good at moving things." Prince Rutherford said, the others agree,

"Let's get to work." Tom said, and everybody starts working together.

Everybody breaks Talos' body into small pieces so he could be moved, the earth ponies, yaks, and dragons use rope and begin pulling the pieces of bronze forward, everybody else pushed from behind, the ponies used it to make jewelry, the changelings used it as tourist attractions, the griffons used it to fortify their country, the dragons used it to make new armor, the yaks used it to build new homes, and the hippogriffs used it to make new art. Everything went back to normal for the time being.



A week passes and people were celebrating a boy's birthday with a big birthday party, Pinkie Pie helped set it up, Tom ran to them,

"Everybody." Tom said, the humans look at him,

"I just got a message from the emperor, five of his monsters have gotten loose, they're roaming around right now." Tom said,

"I wonder who they could be." a woman said,

"We'll worry about that later, let's enjoy the party." another woman replied, and they do.

The party goes on for a few minutes until an attack happens, the humans in the area scream, they hear growling and grunting, they all see it was Goatman, he was wielding an axe. Goatman attacks and the humans scream while he destroys the party material, he growls while swinging it around,

"No! Bad goat!" Fluttershy said angrily, Goatman was about to attack her with his axe but she stares at him, it scares him into submission and he fell to his knees,

"Apologize, it took me a long time to set this party up!" Pinkie Pie said angrily, and Goatman just looked down,

"You can't take this one, Fluttershy, he belongs to Volvox." Tom said,

"Just where in tarnation did he get that axe?" Applejack asked,

"We don't know, he already had it when Volvox found him." Tom replied,

"Well, hand it over, uh... um...?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"Goatman." a man replied,

"Goatman?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"Yeah, he's half human, half goat." Tom replied,

"Well, Goatman, please give us the axe." Sunset Shimmer said, she has come to visit due to Twilight Sparkle writing about the new human country, so she decided to see them out of curiosity, but Goatman would not hand it over, Rainbow Dash touched it with her front left hoof, Goatman growled and was about to attack her with it, Rainbow Dash was about to hold the axe back, but Starlight Glimmer uses her telekinesis to hold him up,

"Okay, I guess he wants to keep it." Starlight Glimmer said,

"Behave for now, Goatman." Tom said, and Goatman looked down, he was put down and the party continued.

About an hour passes and everybody hears walking,

"This way, guys." a boy said, they all look and see three more of Volvox's monsters, they were Bigfoot, the Hibagon, and the Yeti,

"Aw, it's Bigfoot." Sunset Shimmer said,

"You know him?" a girl asked,

"Yeah, there are stories about him in the world I'm staying at, too, we call him Sasquatch most of the time, though." Sunset Shimmer said,

"What's that other hairy one there?" Rarity asked,

"That's the Hibagon, we don't see him often." Tom replied,

"What about that white one there?" Pinkie Pie asked,

"He has two names, most call him the Yeti, where I grew up, he's called the Abominable Snowman." another girl replied,

"Abominable? He looks friendly to me." Rarity said, and they all join the party, Fluttershy flew to them and they were friendly with her, Silverstream also flew to them, excited to meet new creatures. Hours pass and the party was about over, a family ran to them,

"Guys." the woman said, the humans look at her,

"The last monster here is the Jersey Devil." the woman said,

"Where is it?" Tom asked,

"Uh? Oh, there it is." the boy replied, and they all see it flying in the air. The Jersey Devil lands on a roof and walks on it, it goes onto the ground,

"Oh my, I've never seen a creature like this one before." Fluttershy said,

"Halt!" the man said,

"Who are you?" Tom asked,

"I am Ezekiel, son of Jesus." the man replied, Tom and the other humans glared at him, knowing it was not true,

"What are you doing here?" Tom asked,

"I am your savior, here to take down every last demon and free you all." Ezekiel replied, the humans were not happy with him,

"How many demons do you think there are?" a boy asked,

"Think? I know exactly how many demons there are." Ezekiel replied,

"How many are there, then?" Tom asked,

"Seven million four hundred five thousand nine hundred twenty six." Ezekiel replied, the humans glare at even more,

"What?" Ezekiel asked,

"That is completely, utterly, wrong." a boy replied,

"Well, it doesn't matter, I'm here to face the emperor's entire military, and since I am wearing green for good luck, I know I will come out victorious." Ezekiel said, the ground then bursts open and Volvox came out, he was very far,

"And thirteen million seven hundred thousand demons." Volvox said, and they appear on the ground, in the water, and in the sky, scaring Ezekiel and the world's natives,

"Thirteen million seven hundred thousand?!" Rarity asked with shock. Ezekiel stood scared as he looked at Volvox's massive military,

"Well? Still feel like being a one person army?" Volvox asked while smiling, Ezekiel was very scared,

"I... I'm... wearing green... for good luck." Ezekiel said,

"Good luck? It looks like green with jealousy to me." Volvox said, the humans and monsters laugh, Ezekiel stood scared and fell to his knees while whimpering,

"I... I yield." Ezekiel said,

"Good, kill him." Volvox said,

"NO!!" the other countries yelled, they go to them and take Ezekiel away, Princess Celestia flew to Volvox,

"Come meet with us at once, Volvox, we need to talk." Princess Celestia said, and she flew away, Volvox shrunk himself down to the size of a human and teleported to where the rulers meet up.

Volvox meets up with the other rulers and the Mane Six,

"Volvox, we're going to get straight to the point, we'd like for you to reduce your military." Princess Celestia said,

"Reduce?" Volvox asked,

"Yes, your military is too big." Princess Celestia replied,

"You make it sound like a bad thing." Volvox said,

"It is, your military is bigger than all of this world's militaries combined!" Rainbow Dash said,

"It makes the natives feel safe." Volvox said,

"Ah don't feel safe by 'em, Ah don't wanna go to some country and see some fourteen million somethin' soldiers waitin' for me." Applejack replied,

"We're going to ask you kindly to reduce the size of your military, Volvox, to at least the size of the militaries of other countries." Princess Cadence said,

"Really? If I go back home with a smaller military, those humans will be vulnerable." Volvox replied,

"But you have all of those demons and monsters on your side." Twilight Sparkle said,

"Trust me, back in our world, my enemies can kill every single one of them with just one attack." Volvox replied, shocking everybody,

"For real?!" Rainbow Dash asked, Volvox nodded,

"Well, they're not here, and we want you to reduce it, going to war against you will also be very unfair." Princess Luna said,

"You sound jealous." Volvox replied,

"I'm not." Princess Luna said in an annoyed tone,

"We want you to make your military smaller, we understand the need for country defense, but the size of yours makes us feel like you're going to invade us." Twilight Sparkle said,

"I'll see what I can do." Volvox replied, the other rulers smiled,

"Thank you, Volvox, we'll be looking forward to your progress." Princess Celestia said, and he left.

Volvox and Tom try limiting the military, but Volvox could not bring himself to reduce his military, so he had most of them go back into the underworld. If anything, Volvox wanted his military to be bigger, he was also disappointed that the deities in his home world made him sign a pact that does not allow him to have any soldiers or weapons from the Civil War to today, because he wanted to have all of the weapons and heavy artillery from World War I and World War II in his military, he also wanted hydrogen bombs, but the other deities refused because they feared it would make him too powerful.

Volvox sent his military back to the underworld under the guise of making it smaller, the other countries go to see and were happy with it, oblivious that Volvox tricked them, their relations improve and everything was normal again.



A few days pass and the alchemist still has not returned, Tom was starting to wonder about him. The humans and monsters lived together for now, but Volvox and the demons returned to the underworld. The humans begin calling out to Volvox,

"What's going on?" Volvox asked,

"Today is April 7th." Dommiel replied,

"Oh, right, how can I forget?" Volvox asked, and he uses his magic to make a crucified Jesus appear. The humans go to the crucified Jesus and pay their respects to him by getting on their knees' and bowing to him.

Volvox had a lot of respect for Jesus, because he died and wore the sins of humanity on himself, and suffered so they would not. The other deities had no respect for Jesus, some called him a regular person or an idiot, others said his actions were meaningless just because he was a mortal, which angered Volvox and several other demons. When Jesus died, the other deities declared him wicked, but Volvox refused to take him, it was the one time in his fifteen billion year life that he refused to take someone as a slave, he demanded Jesus to go to the overworld, where he can spend his time in the afterlife in peace, the deities agreed, but in exchange, he had to take Judas Iscariot in, and have him serve as one of his commanders, which he was not happy about, but did it so Jesus can be at peace in the afterlife, he has kept a close eye on Judas ever since he took him in.

The natives of the world go over to the country to see what they were doing,

"What's going on?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"Today's a holiday, Volvox calls it Jesus Day." a man replied,

"Jesus Day? What's the idea of this holiday?" Applejack asked,

"That crucified man up there is Jesus Christ, he was loved by all, and pure, on this day, he was crucified and killed, he wore the sins of our kind on himself, and suffered so we would not." Tom replied, surprising the others,

"Twilight, and the rest of you, go pay your respects to him as well, he committed the ultimate act of friendship: sacrificing his own life for his friends, and choosing to suffer in their places, but Tom said he didn't do it for just his friends, he did it for everybody, he is what I call a true friend. Let's go now, he deserves our respect as well." Princess Celestia said, and the ponies pay their respects to Jesus, word of it got out and the dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, and hippogriffs go to the country to pay their respects to Jesus for what he has done, Volvox was very happy to see that this world had a lot of respect for Jesus as well, he hoped Jesus was watching and smiling from above.



Two days pass and the humans and monsters live together, the native creatures of the world were there as well,

"So, how many of these creatures are from your world?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"Every single one of them." Tom replied,

"I have to admit, you guys have more monsters than we do." Starlight Glimmer said,

"This isn't all of them." Tom replied,

"What?! You all have even more?!" Rarity asked,

"A lot more." Tom replied,

"Some of these creatures are scaring me." Pinkie Pie said,

"Really, Pinkie? They're not that scary." Maud Pie replied, they hear walking and see the Nuckelavee, Maud Pie screams in terror at seeing it, so did the others, most of the native creatures left the country,

"Seriously! That thing is downright creepy!" Applejack said,

"I know, right. Look, even Princess Celestia is scared of it." Rainbow Dash replied, they see Princess Celestia on the balcony of her castle, she was looking away, and had her head down with her front legs on the sides of her head,

"Please, get that thing out of my sight." Princess Celestia said in pure terror, and the Nuckelavee walked away. Tom sees the Catoblepas coming over, Fluttershy goes over to pet it,

"Be careful, Fluttershy, you'll turn into stone if you look into its eyes." Tom said,

"Okay." Fluttershy replied, and she petted it, it was happy, it walked away. The others hear walking and a centaur goes to the ponies,

"Well, you guys are new ones." the centaur said,

"I'm surprised about you guys, you all are almost like a fusion that represent the relations our kinds have." Twilight Sparkle replied,

"I noticed, but we've existed long before we got transferred here." the centaur said,

"It's so cool, though, I can imagine a creature like you guys easily." Rainbow Dash replied, the centaur smiled,

"I just wanted to say hi, I'll be going now." the centaur said,

"Okay, have a good time." Fluttershy replied, and the centaur walked away. Apple Bloom ran to Applejack screaming,

"What's wrong, sugar cube?" Applejack asked, the look and see the Chimera coming,

"I wouldn't blame her, that's the Chimera, that thing is dangerous." Tom said,

"Wait, did ya say a Chimera?" Apple Bloom asked,

"Yeah, it's a dangerous animal." Tom replied,

"Well, that's different." Twilight Sparkle said,

"What?" Tom asked,

"We have Chimeras, too, but they have the body of a tiger instead of a lion." Twilight Sparkle replied, Tom was curious, he hears more walking and sees the Minotaur, Tom petted him,

"Who was this again?" Maud Pie asked,

"The Minotaur." Tom replied,

"Oh, so this is the Minotaur, we have them, too, but they're not like this." Rainbow Dash said, a bunch of tentacles come out of the water and the humans and monsters move out of the way to dodge them. Volvox comes out of the underworld to see what was going on, they see the creature emerge, it was a huge squid, shocking the humans,

"Is that monster from your world, too?" Applejack asked,

"Yeah, that's the Kraken." Tom replied, Volvox uses a spell to put it to sleep, he then turned to the humans,

"Be on your guards, if the Kraken is here, then it's possible that either Moby Dick or Cthulhu is here as well." Volvox said, shocking the humans, Volvox then went back to the underworld. A few hours pass and the natives of the world view the Burj Khalifa and the monsters from the human world,

"Excuse me." Princess Cadence said as she trotted to Tom,

"Can you put that Nuckelavee elsewhere? It's scaring my baby." Princess Cadence said, Tom says Flurry Heart in Princess Cadence's front left hoof, cowering in fear at seeing it. Tom was about to tell it, but the Nuckelavee already left,

"It's gone." Tom said,

"Thank you." Princess Cadence replied, and she flew back to the Crystal Empire. The day goes on and nothing interesting happens, the natives of the world went home for the day.



Several days pass and a portal opens, the alchemist comes out, the humans look at him, he stood up,

"Sorry I'm late." the alchemist said,

"Where were you?" a boy asked,

"Trying to find a way to make the potion to take us home, I think I got it." the alchemist replied,

"Well, hurry up and use it." a man said, and the alchemist gets ready to use it, he uses the technological device to open a portal, he throws the new potion in it. The country shifts and the underworld comes up, they see a meeting being held by Volvox, Dommiel, Judas, Azrael, Abaddon, Lucifer, Bael, Paimon, Beleth, Purson, Asmoday, Vine, Balam, Zagan, Belial, Haurus, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Giovi, and Tom. The natives of the world watch from their countries,

"What do you expect me to do if Cthulhu is here?" Tom asked,

"We expect you to evacuate the mortals away from this area." Lucifer replied,

"I told you, we can hold our own, we might be able to beat him." Tom said,

"And then what? Do a funeral for every human who has died against him?" Paimon asked,

"What about you guys? What if the other Lovecraftian gods are here watching us?! What if Nyarlathotep is up there, in the stars?!" Tom asked angrily, the demons were caught by this, they look at the sky, the natives of the world were surprised as well,

"I doubt it, last time we checked, he was at war with Typhon." Beleth replied,

"Okay, so he isn't here, what about Abhoth?" Tom asked, Dommiel senses the country with his magic,

"It's not here, either." Dommiel replied,

"Okay, what about a Shoggoth?" Tom asked, Bael senses the area,

"Wait, there's one nearby." Bael said, and Volvox uses his telekinesis, he takes it out of the ground, the natives of the world scream in terror at seeing it, some of the natives go to it,

"What is that?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"A Shoggoth, unlike other creatures, they're only found in certain parts of our world, that thing is found everywhere, it's under the ground." Tom replied,

"Good thing we found this." Vine said,

"Yeah, just imagine if it attacked the surface world." Zagan replied,

"Wait, give it to me, I want to study it." Twilight Sparkle said,

"That reminds me, how's your studies on the Flatwoods Monster?" Lucifer asked,

"I didn't find much, but he's still frozen." Twilight Sparkle replied, Volvox uses his magic to freeze the Shoggoth, he gives it to her, Twilight Sparkle grunts and struggles to move it to her castle for study, but she manages and was about to do her research.

The alchemist tries another potion, he throws it into the portal, but it causes a rift in the sky, the humans see a hippogriff fly out,

"What the?" a man asked,

"A hippogriff." another man replied, Silverstream squeed with joy and had her hands on her cheeks, she smiled at seeing it,

"That's your world's hippogriff?!" Silverstream asked,

"Yes, it is." Tom replied,

"Wow!" Silverstream said excitedly,

"Wait, hold on, before you get all excited, do you know how hippogriffs are created?" Dommiel asked, Silverstream stopped smiling,

"No, how?" Silverstream asked,

"Hippogriffs are created when a male griffon mates with a female horse." Volvox replied, Silverstream was speechless, but when she processed the information, she screamed out of shock extremely loudly, she stood there with her left hand over her mouth, which was wide open. Her friends and the Mane Six run to her,

"It's okay, Silverstream, you're still our friend." Gallus said,

"But... are people of my kind created that way, too?" Silverstream asked,

"No, of course not, you all are a separate species from the griffons." Twilight Sparkle replied, Silverstream calmed down and smiled, another portal opens and a griffon from the human world appears,

"Hey, it looks like us." Gilda said,

"Yeah, it actually does." Gallus replied,

"Wait, potions that open rifts? Just who are you?" a boy asked, the alchemist was nervous,

"You guys never noticed? That's the Count of Saint Germain." Haurus replied, surprising the humans,

"You mean... as in... the five hundred year old time traveler?" a boy asked,

"Yes, the one and only." Volvox replied,

"I didn't think you guys would recognize me." the Count of Saint Germain said,

"Hold on a minute, did ya say he's five hundred years old?" Applejack asked,

"It's true, but we don't know how he achieved it." a man replied,

"Well, Count of Saint Germain, how did you achieve it?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"I actually forgot." the Count of Saint Germain replied,

"What about time traveling, how do you do that?" Princess Luna asked,

"Something I learned a long time ago, I learned it by accident from an alchemy experiment gone wrong." the Count of Saint Germain replied,

"If you don't mind, Count, can you try again with the potion to send us home?" Purson asked,

"Of course, back to work." the Count of Saint Germain replied, and he works on creating a new potion. Another portal opens and several things fall out, they were big. The objects land on the ground, and to the surprise of everyone, they were the pyramids of Giza from Egypt,

"No way, another piece of architecture from our world." a man said,

"Another one?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"Yeah, the Pyramids of Giza." Tom replied,

"Ooh, I wanna meet Giza." Pinkie Pie said,

"Giza's a place, not a person." Tom replied, the humans bow at it,

"Why are they bowing for?" Rarity asked,

"Unlike the other building, which was built with machinery, the pyramids were built by our own hands." Tom replied, the Mane Six were surprised and go to the pyramids to see how big they are,

"Wow, all of this was built without technology? I can't imagine how many years this must have took to build." Twilight Sparkle said,

"Can we explore it?" Silverstream asked,

"No, it's too tight." Tom replied,

"How tight?" Gallus asked,

"If you get stuck, you can't get out." Tom replied, shocking the natives of the world,

"Well, let's see how tight it really is." King Thorax said, and he enters, Volvox uses his magic to make a screen appear so they can watch him. Thorax explores the biggest pyramid and sees there was a lot of space right now, he flew up to go into some of the passages, but it got tighter and tighter, the natives of the world gasped at how tight it really got, Thorax had to shapeshift near the end several times since the spaces were too small for his regular size. Thorax comes out while panting and the screen disappears,

"It's really tight." Thorax said,

"Okay, sorry, class, but it looks like we can't do a field trip to explore them." Twilight Sparkle said, the Young Six groan in disappointment, Volvox was not happy that they wanted to explore everything the humans had,

"Still, I can't imagine it for you guys, since you all can't fly or breathe underwater, getting through must be hard." Rainbow Dash said,

"It's hard for everybody." Tom replied, Daring Do was looking at the pyramids, she wanted to try to go through them on her own. The day passes and the creatures went back to their native countries, a big rift appears in the sky of the humans' country, the blue electricity catches everybody's attention and they all look, Volvox watched carefully,

"We finally found you, Volvox." a deep male voice said, Volvox's attention was caught, it was Nyarlathotep,

"Get back, it's the Outer Gods." Volvox said, the humans scream in terror and run away. The electricity disappears and everybody sees the creatures, they see Azathoth, Cxaxukluh, Daoloth, Ghroth, Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, Tulzscha, Yibb-Tstll, and Yog-Sothoth. The natives of the world scream in horror at their appearances, the humans look away,

"Everybody, don't look at that clutter of objects, his name is Daoloth, you'll go mad if you see him." Tom said, he sees the natives were unaffected by it, much to Tom's surprise,

"What do you guys want?" Volvox asked,

"We're here to bring you back to your world." Yibb-Tstll replied, the demons and other monsters glared at them,

"We know you guys, you all want something else." Lucifer said,

"You all catch on quickly, we wished to be worshiped like before." Nyarlathotep replied,

"No." the humans replied,

"Then no portal back home." Cxaxukluh said,

"What makes you think you all can just come and take over the planet?" Volvox asked,

"We're the gods of the universe." Yog-Sothoth replied,

"You're still extraterrestrials, plus, I'm older than you guys, they worship me for a reason." Volvox said,

"You're an emperor, we're gods." Shub-Niggurath replied, the native creatures were horrified at what the humans' gods looked like,

"Besides, I thought you all were at war with Typhon." Belial said,

"Uh? Well... we... kind of had to retreat." Tulzscha replied,

"So you all admit you lost." Volvox said, Ghroth opened its eye, causing the natives of the world to gasp,

"You mortals have a choice, worship us again, and we send you all back home, or refuse to worship us, and be destroyed." Nyarlathotep said, the native creatures go to them,

"No." Princess Celestia said as she walked to them,

"They choose who to worship, you cannot force such a thing onto the people." Princess Celestia said,

"You dare question us?" Cxaxukluh asked,

"Yes, gods are supposed to be pretty!" Pinkie Pie replied,

"Not all gods, Pinkie Pie." Tom said,

"Hmm, it seems the Great Old Ones aren't here." Ghroth said,

"Well, keep trying." Daoloth replied,

"I'm not getting anything." Ghroth said,

"That's enough, Ghroth, it's only us who are here." Azathoth replied,

"Who is the leader?" Princess Luna asked,

"I am." Azathoth replied,

"How can you be so cruel to these people?" Queen Novo asked,

"They're mortals, we're gods, we are superior." Azathoth replied, a yellow beam and a blue beam were shot at them, they got hit and were harmed,

"What the?" Nyarlathotep asked,

"We're gods, too." Princess Celestia said,

"Are you humans going to worship us?" Azathoth asked,

"No." the humans replied,

"Then war, it is." Azathoth said, and they get ready to attack, but the other countries and Volvox's entire military come to their defenses, the Outer Gods were shocked,

"We're their friends, that means going to war against us as well." Twilight Sparkle said,

"Yeah, you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us." Applejack said,

"You think you can best a god?" Daoloth asked,

"We've fought gods before." a man replied, the Outer Gods realize they were greatly outnumbered, and none of their creatures were present,

"On second thought, let's go back, we'll attack the humans back there." Azathoth said, and the Outer Gods disappeared. The humans thanked them and their days continued.



Four days pass and the Cerberus from the human world and the Cerberus from the native's world fought one another in the human's country, Orthrus also fought to protect his brother, the Cerberus from the human world had snakes on his neck, they were poisonous, the humans and Fluttershy had to calm them down, it took a long time, but they managed to stop the fight. Another monster is heard walking around, Volvox uses telekinesis to take it out, everybody see it was Frankenstein's monster, people called him Frankenstein,

"This way, Frankenstein." Tom said after Volvox put him down. Frankenstein grunted and did not speak, he acted like a child and did not understand things. Twilight Sparkle flew over with her books to help teach him, Princess Celestia taught him as well,

"Now, now, Frankenstein, watch carefully, and learn." Princess Celestia said, her voice soothed him, Frankenstein learned a lot, the world's natives loved his childlike personality, Pinkie Pie and Derpy spent time to play with him. The Count of Saint Germain continues working and sees something, he screamed in terror at it, the humans run over and see the creature, to their surprises, it was a Tsuchinoko,

"Hey, Volvox, there's a Tsuchinoko here." a boy said, Volvox uses telekinesis to hold it up, he sees the small brown creature,

"Be careful around it, it has fangs and venom similar to that of a viper." Volvox said, and he puts it down. The Mane Six, Young Six, and Frankenstein go to it while the Cutie Mark Crusaders walk with him,

"Ooh, I wanna see." Pinkie Pie said, and the natives see it, Fluttershy flew down to look at it,

"Aw, it's so cute, this is the smallest snake I've ever seen." Fluttershy said, the humans see Twilight Sparkle was very scared by it, the Tsuchinoko tries to bite her, but Fluttershy says a few things and rubs it, it calms down and obeys her, Frankenstein tries to touch it and the Tsuchinoko was friendly enough to let him touch it,

"What a nice little creature." Fluttershy said, and she took it with her to keep as a pet, the days went on normally afterwards.



A week passes and the Count of Saint Germain creates another potion. The humans were playing a game, they were trying to get through the strait that had Scylla and Charybdis in it, without getting their ship damaged, or losing anyone on the ship. Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia were trying to come up with a plan since if they go out of range of one creature, they will be in range of the other one, the two did admit it was hard. Twilight Sparkle asked a human boy for his toy boat, and he gave it to her, she set it in the strait, and Charybdis spins around and gets the boat, while Scylla did not see it,

"Hmm, it got through one, but the other one saw it." Princess Celestia said,

"Oh, this is hard, how are we supposed to win this?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"I know how, like this." Rainbow Dash replied, and she flew into the strait, Scylla tried to grab her but was too slow,

"See, I win." Rainbow Dash said,

"No, you can't do that, that's cheating." Tom replied,

"Oh." Rainbow Dash said,

"Let's try something, Twilight, I have an idea." Princess Celestia said, and she flew down, she used a small boat, she gets through with ease, Charybdis begins spinning around to suck her in, but the small boat made it just out of range, and Scylla could not stretch her six heads out far enough to reach her. The native creatures cheer as Princess Celestia makes it to the end, but Volvox walked over and stood at the end, scaring the natives, but he grabs the boat after she passes,

"Not bad, most people lose at this game." Volvox said,

"It was tough, but it was fun." Princess Celestia replied,

"I didn't think she'd actually win." Sunburst said,

"Me neither." Twilight Sparkle replied, the Count of Saint Germain ran to them,

"Everybody, I got the potion, we can go home." the Count of Saint Germain said, the humans were happy, but they hear Queen Chrysalis laughing, they see her with the potion,

"Now, with this potion, I can enter their world, feed off of all of their love, and conquer the human world." Queen Chrysalis said,

"Catoblepas." Volvox said, it walks to Queen Chrysalis, she looks at it with disgust,

"What is this disgusting little..." Queen Chrysalis asked as she lifted it up with her telekinesis, she looks at it in the eyes and turns into stone. The Count of Saint Germain takes the potion and opens the portal, he throws it in, the portal changes and the humans see their home, they cheer,

"We can go home at last." Tom said, they all hug the natives,

"It was a pleasure to meet you all, we're going to miss you." Princess Celestia said,

"We'll miss you guys, too." Tom replied, and the humans and monsters leave while the natives of the land say their goodbyes, the architecture from their world went in as well.



Twilight Sparkle goes back to her castle and sees the Flatwoods Monster was gone, Fluttershy also sees the Dover Demon was gone as well, so was Mothman and Owlman, and the Tsuchinoko. Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia had a picture of Jesus in their quarters', they respected him for what he did, and hopes what happened to him does not happen in their world, the world's natives remember the humans and their monsters and hold onto their memories of them dearly for years to come.
